The Prime Minister has insisted the Government has a full tank of gas | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
and is going full steam ahead into the New Year. On the eve of the | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
coalition's mid-term review, David Cameron defended changes to child | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
benefit, which take place at midnight. If we don't raise that �2 | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
billion from that group of people, we would have to find somewhere | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
else to take it from. Syria's President Assad edelivers a rare | :00:33. | :00:36. | |

puppets of the west. Patient deaths and mistreatment at Stafford | :00:40. | :00:44. | |

Good evening. The Prime Minister has defended Government policies on | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
the eve of what the coalition calls its mid-term review, saying it is | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
going full steam ahead to deliver what it promised at the election. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
Mr Cameron said the decision to remove child benefit from better | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
off families, which takes effect at midnight was the right approach. | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
Labour called the changes perverse. Our political correspondent reports. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
First there were the proud smile, when the coalition Government was | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
born. Then came a more business like approach from David Cameron | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
and Nick Clegg. We are closer to the next election than we are from | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
the last one, the coalition is officially midlet aged. But David | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
Cameron is determined to prove the Government isn't slowing down, and | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
certainly isn't thinking of retirement. What you are going to | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
see tomorrow is a coalition Government, with a full tank of gas, | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
full steam ahead, we have travelled a long way down the road, but there | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
is a lot more to do one item right now is the removal of child benefit | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
from better off families. The Prime Minister insisted that was fair, | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
given the state of the country's finances. You need to make sure | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
that everyone is making their contribution. So taking away child | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
benefit from people earning over �60,000. That is only the top 15% | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
of the country. I am o not saying those people are rich. It is right | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
they make a contribution. Tomorrow, the focus will switch to the | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Government's next set of priorities. Among them it is thought ideas on | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
how to pay for new roads, funding long-term care for the elderly, and | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
improving childcare could feature. But Labour claim a bigger promise | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
has been broken. Because the economy is still sluggish. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
Prime Minister said judge us on the economy. The economy has flat lined. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
It has hardly grown, unemployment is higher than it was two years ago, | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
they are not getting the deficit down. Reviving the economy remains | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
the big challenge, but looming before long will be the awkward | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
business of how the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats untangle | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
themselves from each other, before the next election. Both sides | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
already pointedly talk up their own successes. We want to show we | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
didn't run away from being in Government, that is what people | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
said in the past. Why should we vote for your? We haven't run away, | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
we faced up to responsibility, stepped up to the plate. We have | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
been willing to take difficult decision, but we have been | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
determined to make a fairer Britain at the end of the day. But for now, | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
the aim is to project a united front, an agenda the two men who | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
brought their parties together can agree on. Let us talk to Chris at | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
Downing Street. What else did Mr Cameron have to say today? Firstly | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
we heard that David Cameron would like to continue living here until | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
2020, of course do that he will have to win the next election. He | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
touched too on the subject of the European Union, he said Britain | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
should remain within the EU, but the Conservatives would offer a | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
real choice as he put it at the next election. He hinted that he | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
would like to make it harder for immigrants from the EU to be able | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
to claim benefits. All of that is for another day. The real focus | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
tomorrow will be what is called this mid-term review, effectively | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
it is like a to-do list you might have ad at home where some things | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
get down and -- done and others don't. The aim for the Government | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
will be to show determination and drive and desire, so they can prove | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
more of those boxes can be ticked. In Syria President Assad has | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
delivered his first major speech since June, in a television address | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
he denounced opponents as puppets of the west and called for the | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Syrian people to stand up and fight those who threatened the country's | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
future. The UN estimates more than 60,000 Syrians have been killed | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
since the uprising began. As our Middle East editor reports. 60,000 | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
Syrian dead according to the UN. Hundreds of thousands more wounded. | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
Millions driven from their homes. But the end of Syria's Civil War is | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
nowhere close. President Assad is embattled. This was his first | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
public speech in six month, to a carefully vetted audience of | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
supporters in the Damascus Opera House, but predictions of his | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
regime's imminent collapse, by last summer, all all been wrong. One | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
reason, he has important foreign friends. | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
TRANSLATION: We thank all these country at the forefront. Russia, | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
China and Iran and all the countrys that have stood with Syria get | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
interference. We salute and we are grateful for the stances of these | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
countries. The President delighted his supporter, he called for | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
dialogue and a referendum on the future. But rebels he called | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
traitors could, he said, have no part in it. | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
TRANSLATION: He told them terrorists who have embraced Al- | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
Qaeda and Jihaddys were trying to destroy Syria. Syrian refugees in | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
Jordan watched the speech. The shoes were waved as signs of | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
contempt. The message from Britain wasn't very different. It is | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
hypocritical because it suggests no part of the regime in the death and | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
destruction that has been waged against the Syrian people. It | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
suggests it has been down from Joan side when it is the Syrian people | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
that have taken against their own regime. And outside President | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
Assad's security bubble Syria's war goes on. There are no good | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
scenarios in Syria ant there have been for a while. A peace enjoy is | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
struggling to make progress, partly because so much blood is being | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
spilled and the parties are opposed to each other and partly because | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
the UN Security Council is divided and deadlocked. About what do next. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
President Assad's supporters tried to kiss him. His enemies want him | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
dead. No wonder the diplomats are struggling. The Health Secretary | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Jeremy Hunt has warned NHS managers in England that they can't expect | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
to keep their jobs if there are failings under their care. A second | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
report into the deaths and mistreatment of patients at | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Stafford Hospital will be published within the next couple of month, | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
writing in a Sunday paper Mr Hunt said proper accountability was | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
needed in the Health Service. Here is our health correspondent. What | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
happened at Stafford Hospital will be remembered in the NHS for a long | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
time. Appalling failures of care that came to light four years ago. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Hundreds of patients neglected, some dying needlessly. A public | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
inquiry is due to report on how it was allowed to happen. Bella Bailey | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
went into Stafford Hospital for a routine operation, but after a fall, | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
and poor care, she died. Her daughter Julie has been campaigning | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
for change. She says it is still too hard for whistle-blowers in the | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
NHS, who find themselves put under pressure. Each nurse and each | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
doctor should be able to go into their hospital, and know they will | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
be allowed to care for their patients, the way they want to care | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
for them. Doctors and nurses are tortured just for speaking out, | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
about the poor care they are witnesses day in and day out. | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Unfortunately, the NHS has become a pullly -- bullying culture and that | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
needs to stop. The Government is trying to anticipate the findings | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
of the public inquiry. Introducing a friends and familyst the, where | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
patients are asked about their experience. Funding more training | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
and calling for managers to be held to account for any failings. It may | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
be less keen on an overhaul of regulation, as the NHS in England | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
is already in the middle of a reorganise anyisation. The Health | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Secretary knows this inquiry could raise awkward questions, could it | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
happen now? Can staff speak out? So since last year he has been talking | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
about making the NHS accountable. need to say this this to all | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
manager, you will be held responsible for the care in your | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
establishments. You wouldn't expect to keep your job if you lost | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
control of your finances. Don't expect to keep it if you lose | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
control of your care. Stafford Hospital has made many changes | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
including increasing the number of experienced nurses. The report | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
won't just be tricky for the Government. Labour were in power | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
when things went wrong here. This inquiry could influence every | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
hospital in England. All under pressure to find big financial | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
savings, without allowing another major failing of care. A police | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
officer has died after his car crashed into a tree, as he | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
responded to an emergency call in North Yorkshire, PC Andrew Bramma | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
was killed in West Tanfield near Ripon on his way to a reported road | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
accident. The father of two was pronounced dead at the scene. The | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Health and Safety Executive is to investigate. Politicians and church | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
leaders in East Belfast have met to try to find way to end the violent | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
protests sparked by the City Council's decision to restrict the | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
flying of the Union flag. Last night, police were pelted with | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
fireworks and petrol bombs. The chairman of Northern Ireland's | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Police Federation says paramilitaries are exploiting the | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
situation. In streets where the union flag has become a symbol of | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
protest. The aftermath of another night of violence. There has been a | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
month of anger and disorder, at the decision to limit the flying of the | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
flag over Belfast City Hall. There have been bitter stand offs between | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
protestors and the police, with dozens of officers injured. Even | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
reports of shots being fired. is no doubt there is a very serious | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
challenge to the rule of law by paramilitary organises in Northern | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
Ireland. Our officers are out there and they are holding the line. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
afternoon community leaders and politicians have been meeting in a | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
church in East Belfast, trying to find a solution that will stop the | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
violence, but currently there seems no prospect of an end to the flag's | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
dispute. The decision to restrict the flying of the Union flag to a | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
limited number of designated days was a democratic one, made by the | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
council. The cross community Alliance Party holds the balance of | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
power and it supported the vote. Because the make up of the council | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
isn't going to change any time soon, neither is the decision. It is | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
going to continue, isn't it. don't have a right to violence | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
do You can't justify police officers getting attack, the | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
community getting wrecked. They shouldn't have took the flag down | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
in the first place. There are many others in this community sick of | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
both trouble and disruption. Today, there has been a special it ising | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
of the courts to deal with those charged with rioting and the police | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
say they will do everything they can to maintain law and order. Let | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
us get sport now. Thank you. There were no upsets from today's brace | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
of FA Cup third round match, but a degree of controversy as Liverpool | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
crushed non-league Mansfield giant killing dreams with a bit of help | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
from Luis Suarez's hand. Earlier Arsenal drew 2-2 at Swansea. For | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
some the FA Cup has become a distraction for Arsene Wenger it | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
represented the chance of much- needed silverware. This season's | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
options looked to be narrows when Swansea brought on their star | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
striker Michu. That jump started Arsenal. Their passing had purpose | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
but they still needed a goal. With ten minutes left Lukas Podolski | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
obliged. That finish from their left back, Gibbs. But with Arsenal | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
you should never jump to conclusions, Danny Graham equalised | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
on 87 minute, and an amazing tie goes to a replay. In Mansfield it | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
was day to say I was there, or just outside. The Conference side were | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
hosting Liverpool, and keeping them waiting. The Reds weren't held up | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
much longer. Seven minutes into his debut Daniel Sturridge spoiled | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
their party. Mansfield were determined not to hang on and they | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
started to enjoy thing, the Premier League side needed a hand. Over to | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
Luis Suarez. His sense of fair play is sometimes questioned, but | :14:01. | :14:11. | |
:14:11. | :14:12. | ||
despite the up the of his arm the goal stood. They exit with no | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
regrets but plenty of questions. The draw for the FA Cup Fourth | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
Round was made this afternoon. There is a full list on the sport | :14:21. | :14:30. | |
:14:31. | :14:47. | ||
Andy Murray says he is pleased with his form going into this Australian | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
Open. The world number three defended his Brisbane title today, | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
beating the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets in the | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
final. Murray dedicated his title to an ill friend. His Davis Cup | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
colleague Ross hutch ins has been diagnosed with cancer. And | :15:06. | :15:09. |
