Officials support High Court ruling to block BBC report

LONDON: Senior government officials rallied Sunday to support a High Court ruling that forbids the BBC, Britain's public service broadcaster, to transmit news about an alleged campaign finance scandal under investigation by the police.

But the BBC nudged its reporting of the proscribed story a little further, saying it related to an e-mail between two close confidants of Prime Minister Tony Blair. The details of the e-mail, the BBC said on its Web site (www.bbc.co.uk) "could have been central to the investigation into an alleged Downing Street cover-up" over the financing scandal.

For the past year, the police have been investigating accusations by Welsh and Scottish parliamentary legislators that major political parties traded seats in the prestigious House of Lords for donations and loans. The accusations have focused most recently on Blair's Labour Party as it sought to raise money to fight the 2005 general election, which it won with a reduced majority.

The French Constitutional Council has approved a law that criminalizes the filming or broadcasting of acts of violence by people other than professional journalists. The law could lead to the imprisonment of eyewitnesses who film acts of police violence, or operators of Web sites publishing the images, one French civil liberties group warned on Tuesday.

The government has also proposed a certification system for Web sites, blog hosters, mobile-phone operators and Internet service providers, identifying them as government-approved sources of information if they adhere to certain rules.
