Good afternoon. 70 organisations have told MPs they're concerned | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
that millions of people could miss out because of the Government's | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
plans for a a universal credit system for state benefits. Many | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
charities and local councils think the plan to put the benefits system | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
online will disadvantage people without internet access and lacking | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
computer skills. Let's speak to our political correspondent, Susana | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
:00:45. | :00:46. | ||
Mendonca, at Westminster. Concerns too about the Government's track | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
record on implementing these IT schemes as well I suppose? Indeed. | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
And the charities and councils that have spoken to the Work and | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Pensions Select Committee are worried about whether or not people | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
will be able to access the system. 8.5 million people don't have | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
access to the system. This replaces six work-related benefit with just | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
one. They are concerned that the IT system will not work. The | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Government has a poor track record on IT systems in the past. And | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
there are worries that people will find it difficult if they are only | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
receiving their benefit once a month. The Government says the IT | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
system has been rigorously tested and there are contingency plans in | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
place and anyone who has trouble will be able to access someone via | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
the phone or face to face. And a possible return to Parliament by | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Boris Johnson over the Heathrow expansion. What has he will to say | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
about that? We hear this time and again about Boris Johnson. The | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Mayor of London has made clear he intends to carry out the duties he | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
was asked to do by Londoners by being Mayor of this city, so he is | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
putting that aside. But there've been rumours over the last week | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
following the reshuffle last week, where people were thinking that | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
perhaps that could indicate some kind of move towards a third runway | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
at Heathrow, which Boris Johnson opposes. The Government has put | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
that to bed in terms of commissioning a new commission | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
which will look at whether or not there are alternatives. And Vince | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Cable, the Business Secretary, has reinforced that today. Thank you. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Activist groups in Syria say more than 160 people died in fighting | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
yesterday, with Government air attacks killing many in the | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
northern city of Aleppo. Troops are also reported to have overrun | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
rebel-held areas in the south of the capital, Damascus. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
A series of bomb attacks in Iraq over the weekend have killed at | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
least 50 people and wounded more than 250. An attack near the shrine | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
of a Shi'ite Imam in the south of Iraq this morning killed at least | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
16 people when two car bombs exploded. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Police are continuing their search of the al-Hilli family home in | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Surrey looking for any clues as to why they were victims of a gunman | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
while on holiday in France. Let's speak to our Correspondent, | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
Jonathan Blake, in Claygate. Jonathan, so the search resuming | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
just after dawn today? Yes, that's right. It was just before 7 o'clock | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
this morning when search teams from Surrey Police arrived here at the | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
al-Hilli family home. After yesterday's forensic sweep of the | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
property officers have been going room to room looking for any clues | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
that may provide them with any evidence that they can pass on to | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
the French authorities, who are leading this investigation. We saw | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
firearms officers going into the property at one point. They arrived | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
and spent around ten minutes in the house before leaving. We are not | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
sure exactly why they were here but we are told their presence in a | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
search operation of this kind may well be routine. Family liaison | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
officers from Surrey Police have travelled to France to be with the | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
family members there and help care for the two sisters who survived | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
the attack and are still in hospital. We've seen more evidence | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
this morning of the effect this has had on the local community, with | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
silences held between two football matches and a special church | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
service which the local vicar said was an opportunity for the local | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
people to share in the shock of the tragedy of what has happened. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
you. Police in Durham have said they've | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
found the body of 16-year-old Colin Dodds. The teenager went missing | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
while playing with friends yesterday afternoon. It's thought | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
he was swept away by the River Wear. His body was discovered in the | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
early hours of this morning. Union members are gathering in | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Brighton for the TUC's annual congress, amid warnings from union | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
leaders that more strikes are inevitable because of the public | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
sector pay freeze and job cuts. TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber is | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
stepping down, to be replaced by the TUC's first female leader, | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Frances O'Grady. Britain's biggest union, Unite is calling for a �1 an | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
hour increase in the minimum wage, arguing the increased spending | :04:45. | :04:55. | |
:04:55. | :04:55. | ||
power of low-paid workers would help stimulate the economy. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
There are more medal hopes for British athletes on the final day | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
of competition at the Paralympics. David Weir is among those hoping | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
for victory. He'll try to secure his fourth gold in the T54 | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
wheelchair marathon, which has got under way in the last half hour. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Tonight's closing ceremony, called the Festival of the Flame, will | :05:11. | :05:17. |
