More cuts, more tax, an uncompromising message from David | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
Cameron. As the Conservative Party conference opens, the Prime | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Minister warns of new welfare cuts with the wealthy paying more to | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
ease the deficit. It hundreds remember the missing | :00:24. | :00:34. | |

Good evening. The Prime Minister has warned there will be more | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
welfare cuts to help reduce the deficit. Speaking at the | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
Conservative Party conference, which was getting under way in | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Birmingham, David Cameron said the rich would have to make more of a | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
contribution but he ruled out a mansion tax. We report from | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Birmingham. David Cameron is on a mission to | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
convince the country that his plan will work. He has come to | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Birmingham with a tough message. The economy needs to be sorted out, | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
which means more welfare cuts are coming. In the end, those that work | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
hard will be rewarded. Today David Cameron offered a glimmer of hope | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
in the economic doom. He said the deficit had been cut by a quarter | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
but he admitted more pain was inevitable. I want us to be the | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
party that levels with the British public and talks plainly and | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
strictly about what needs to be done. We have to find spending | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
reductions. If we want to provide services in things like schools and | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
hospitals then we need to look at things like the welfare budget. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Tories made no secret of the fact that they want big cuts to that | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
benefits bill. David Cameron is about to get involved in tricky | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
negotiations with the Liberal Democrats about how to find extra | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
savings of �16 billion to kick in after the next election. Today the | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
BBC has learnt that ministers are actively considering curbing | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
housing benefit for people under 25. With David Cameron on the back food, | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
that kind of thing goes down well here. He insisted that things would | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
be fair. He ruled out the possibility of a mansion tax on | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
expensive properties but he did so the wealthy would pay more. | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
:03:04. | :03:04. | ||
believe that if you work hard and you pay and invest in your house, | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
then we should not come back with a massive tax. That is not going to | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
happen. He repeated his promise not to take away bus passes, to be | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
licences and winter fuel allowances for pensioners in his Parliament. - | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
- television licences. That is a crowd-pleaser here but outside the | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
mood was different. David Cameron will never win over these | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
protesters but he wants a clear message to go out that while the | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Tories are serious about reducing the deficit, they are also on the | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
side of those that want to work hard and get on. Council tax will | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
be frozen for another year and increases in rail fares will be | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
limited. Senior figures are trying to lift the spirits of the party | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
faithful. We Conservatives know that there are moments when | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
political parties rise to the changing needs of their times. It | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
is thanks to our Prime Minister that we have the strength to take | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
the tough decisions that this country needs to succeed. There is | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
plenty of debate here about which way David Cameron should take the | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
party if it is to broaden its appeal. The challenge is to keep | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
traditional Tories on board while attracting new support. Nick | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
Robinson is in Birmingham for us now. Tough-talking on welfare, but | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
detail, detail? Lots of tough talking. The Prime Minister talked | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
about finding �16 billion worth of savings today. Tomorrow the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Chancellor will repeat his call for 10 million of that to come from the | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
welfare budget. You are right to be sceptical about detail but we will | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
get it relatively soon, I am told. In November, the Chancellor makes | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
an Autumn Statement. Benefits will be increased less than the rate of | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
inflation. Medium term, they will change the rules on housing benefit | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
so that there is no automatic right to that benefit for people under | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
the age of 25. There will be a change in the rules so that those | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
people with more than a certain number of children will not get an | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
increase in benefit. You can see the Prime Minister arriving behind | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
me. His message to the conference is that it is time for them to talk | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
about the big and serious issues. He says the country is in a swing | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
or swim moment. -- sink or swim. It is not made easy for him because | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
Boris Johnson will be coming tomorrow. He has written in the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Telegraph that they, the middle class, are feeling utterly and | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
understandably ignored and it is time to help them according to the | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Mayor of London. Not very helpful! Another big issue will be Europe, | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
surely. The Prime Minister is trying to put a lid on this issue. | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
If he wins an election on his own and can negotiate a new deal with | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Europe, then there might be a referendum, so too many IFS on the | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
issue but it is time to put a lid on it. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
Hundreds of people have walked through Machynlleth in Wales to | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
attend a church service for April Jones. The five-year-old has been | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
missing since last Monday. Mark Bridger will appear before | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
magistrates tomorrow charged with her murder. | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
They walked quietly in the October sunshine. Virtually an entire town | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
came to pay tribute to a little girl whose absence is causing such | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
heartache. From the estate where April was taken, they made their | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
way to the town's church. Carrying with them a sense of bewilderment | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
that they had not been able to protect a five-year-old child just | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
yards from their home. It has been so sad. It has totally changed the | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
town and it will take time for the town to recover. People are very | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
subdued but there is anger. There is nothing we can do so doing this | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
is a nice way of showing our support. April disappeared while | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
playing outside on Monday evening. The efforts of hundreds of people | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
to find her have been in vain. Inside the church, a poem about | :07:10. | :07:19. | |
being a mother was right for her mother, Coral. Mum. She's a sadness | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
:07:29. | :07:37. | ||
stealer, cut knee healer. Hug me In this Welsh-speaking town, hymns | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
into macro languages but with one meaning. -- two languages. Two | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
classmates carried the candles to the altar. With the church | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
completely full, the service was relayed by loudspeaker to the | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
hundreds waiting outside. Afterwards, the Bishop thanked the | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
community. The whole world has turned its eyes upon Machynlleth | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
because of the way that you have refused to let darkness overwhelm | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
the light. This is not the end. This is a step along the way. As we | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
take steps along the way, we do that together. At the same time, | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
less than a mile away, the search for April was continuing. A week | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
without tangible results. Tomorrow the operation will be intensified. | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Deep down, the people here know there is no prospect of a pool | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
being found alive. But this town is still praying for a miracle. -- | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
April being found alive. This has been a traumatic week and the town | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
has lost its innocence, we keep hearing. The search for April is | :08:52. | :09:00. | |
being seen as the start of a long and slow healing process. | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
Two people have been arrested after a 12 year-old boy was killed in a | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
hit-and-run accident in Bradford. Bilal Khizar was on the crossing | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
when he was struck by a car which moments earlier had sped away after | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
being stopped by the police. His friends left flowers at the | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
roadside close to where he died. The Independent Police Complaints | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
Commission has begun an investigation. | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
There has been another exchange of fire between Turkish and Syrian | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
forces. A mortar shell landed in the Turkish border town of Akcakale | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
where five people died in a similar attack last week. Turkish state | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
media says that retaliatory strike has been launched into Syria. A car | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
bomb also exploded in Damascus, killing an officer. | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
The Government of the Philippines has reached a police agreement with | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Muslim rebels to end a 40 year conflict that has killed 120,000 | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
people. The deal after a decade of negotiations would see an expanded | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
autonomous region created on the southern island of Mindanao, with | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
greater political powers for its Muslim population. | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Latin America's longest serving President, Hugo Chavez, says he | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
will accept the result of the election and Venezuela which sees | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
him facing the stiffest test yet of his 14 years in power. His | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Socialist Government is seeking another six-year term but his | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
policies have proved divisive. This report from Caracas contains some | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
flash photography. Polling day got off to a | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
spectacular start, with a pre-dawn call for pro-Chavez reporters to | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
get to voting centres early. -- supporters. By the time they opened, | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
long queues had already formed. came only because I have just | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
finished a night shift. I have not slept and I came straight from work. | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
It is everybody's right to vote and it is important to choose for your | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
country and your own well-being for a better country. The number of | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
people here shows how much this election it means to Venezuela's. | :11:06. | :11:14. | |
Supporters on both sides feel that their man has the chance to win. | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
Hugo Chavez did not seem to be under pressure when he gritted his | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
supporters ahead of casting his own vote. He wants to extend his 14 | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
years in office despite recent treatment for cancer. Charismatic | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
and controversial, he is loved by some for his efforts to share the | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
country's oil wealth among poor people in Venezuela. But he is | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
detested by others. His opponents accuse him of authoritarianism and | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
silence in the media. Hugo Chavez may finally have met his match in | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
the former of rival Enrica peelers, a young lawyer turned politician. - | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
- Han Henrique Capriles. He is the only candidate for a coalition of | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
30 political parties. Venezuela has an automated ballot system. | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
Normally that would make this a quick process, but with the close | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
race expected, it may be many hours before the result is announced. | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
Sport now, and for of full round-up of the big action, let's go to the | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
BBC Sport Centre. Thank you. There were four matches | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
in the Premier League today. All of the goals are on Match Of The Day 2 | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
straight after the news but I am about to give you the result. It is | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
that time again if you want to avoid the next bit. Alan Pardew | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
says that Robin van Persie should face disciplinary action after | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
elbowing one of his players, Yohan Cabaye, in the face, in an off-the- | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
ball incident. United had already won by then. John Lee Evans, | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
Patrice Evra and Tom Cleverley got the goals. -- Jonny Evans. United | :12:57. | :13:07. | |
:13:07. | :13:10. | ||
are now second in the table. These Georgios Samaras has scored another | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
important winner for Celtic. He got the only goal of the game this | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
afternoon against Hearts. It saw Celtic going back to the top of the | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Scottish Premier League. One of the most famous matches in | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
world football ended in a draw tonight with two best players in | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
the world scoring the goals. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo had | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
already scored one each in the first half before Lionel Messi put | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
Barcelona ahead in El Clasico with a stunning free-kick. He did not | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
take long fought Lionel Messi to silence the camp. -- for Lionel | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
Messi. Barcelona are top of the Spanish league with Real Madrid 5th. | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
England have been beaten in the women's T20. It went down to the | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
final over against Australia in Sri Lanka and England were beaten by | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
four runs. The passion for cricket was around every corner in Colombo. | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
Most interest was reserved for the Sri Lankan men's team on finals day. | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
But cricket is for everyone. England's women have built their | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
own profile. In reaching the final, England had won every game in the | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
tournament, but unbeaten is not quite the same as unbeatable. | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
Australia did not enjoy the notion of being underdogs. They managed to | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
blunt Katherine Blunt with strong hitting from Meg Lanning. England | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
regained some control the best spin bowling. Holly Colvin did the | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
catching. Jess Cameron displayed fine variety in her batting. She | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
certainly had the power to clear the boundary. She also showed touch | :14:46. | :14:54. | |
and subtlety making a rapid 45 to guide Australia to a total of 142. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
England needed to bat aggressively. Captain Charlotte Edwards did but | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
she fell in the process, making 28. Danielle Wyatt was caught | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
brilliantly. England kept the match alive. They needed 16 of the last | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
over, six of the last ball, not quite. It held our attention until | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
the last. We are disappointed to lose but you need six runs off the | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
last ball, and to see what we did see, it was a great spectacle and I | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
am proud of that. -- we needed six runs off the last ball. It is vital | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
that there is a rivalry for every trophy. | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
The West Indies are the new champions in the men's world T20. | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
They beat Sri Lanka by a massive 36 runs. They made a really bad start, | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
winning the toss and choosing to bat and losing their big hitters | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
cheaply including Chris Gale for just three. But 78 from Marlon | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
Samuels helped them to post a meagre 137 for six. Sri Lanka just | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
did not get close. They were bowled out for 101 and the West Indies | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
have promised a big party in Colombo tonight. | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
The Formula One World Championship is wide open after Sebastian Vettel | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
got the perfect result in Japan. He won the race and the championship | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
leader, Fernando Alonso, was forced to retire on the first lap. | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
For the second time in four races, championship leader Fernando Alonso | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
failed to make it past the first corner. In Belgium, he was lucky to | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
avoid serious injury when he was hit from behind. This time his | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
Ferrari was spent spinning after a brush with Kimi Raikkonen. The | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
physical impact might have been less this time but his title | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
ambitions took a serious knock. Romain Grosjean was banned from a | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
race after a pile up and was the centre of attention here. He ran | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
into Mark Webber. The Australian was able to continue but later | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
described the Frenchman as a nutcase. Jenson Button was the main | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
beneficiary of the drama, climbing up from 8th to finish 4th. Sergio | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
Perez will be his team-mate at McLaren next season after Lewis | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
Hamilton announced that he is joining Mercedes. If the next and | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
was hoping to impress his new bosses by passing Lewis Hamilton, | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
it did not go to plan. Sebastian Vettel did shy. He led from pole | :17:16. | :17:26. | |
:17:26. | :17:26. | ||
and set the fastest lap. -- Sebastian Vettel did shine. His | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
victory cuts of Fernando Alonso's lead to just four points, boosting | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
his hopes of being champion for the third year in a row. | :17:33. | :17:38. |
