of the sharpest falls across the European Union, according to new | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
figures. Real pay, including the impact of | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
inflation, has dropped 5. 5% since 2010. Labour says it shows life is | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
getting harder for families. The Government says the economy is on | :00:24. | :00:27. | |

about 13-year-old Erika Cacicova, who has been missing since last | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
Monday. I need her to let us know that she is safe and well, that she | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
is in no harm and she can come to us and we will take care of her and | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
make sure she is all right. COMMENTATOR: Bolt is going to take | :00:44. | :00:50. | |

Good evening. New figures suggest that the value of workers' wages in | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
the UK has suffered one of the sharpest falls across the European | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Union. According to statistics from the House of Commons Library, real | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
wages, which include the impact of inflation, have fallen by 5. 5% | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
since the middle of 2010. The Treasury says the Government has | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
taken action to help with the cost of living, such as increasing the | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
amount people can earn before they pay tax. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
That the pounds in our wallets buy less and less every month won't come | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
as a shock to many households. Since July 2010, wages have been stagnant | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
in Britain, while inflation has been well-above its target, which means | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
that real wages have gone down. Wages in the UK fell by 5. 5.5% | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
while comparably large European economies, such as France and | :01:59. | :02:08. | |
Germany v seen their wages rise by 0. 4 and 2. 7% respectably. There | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
were countries fairing worse than Britain. Portugese real wages fell | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
by 8% while in another eurozone bailout country, Greece, they fell | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
by over 11%. The present Government are out of touch. They are trying to | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
suggest everything is fine in the economy when we know and working | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
people themselves know that they have taken a hit, their incomes have | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
been squeezed, they are seeing prices rising faster than wages and | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
they know from the money coming into their pockets and the bills they | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
have to pay, that things are getting tough. A Treasury spokesperson said | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
the Government had taken continued action to help with the cost of | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
living, including plans to raise the tax-free personal allowance to | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
�10,000, and freezing fuel duty and council tax. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
This research was requested by the Labour Party and carried out by the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
House of Commons Library. Its choice of starting point just as the | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
coalition came to power s very deliberate. Doubtless the Government | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
would have chosen a more flattering start date. There is no doubt, | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
though, that the hit being taken by many households over the last few | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
years, has been very pronounced. The with Bank of England signalling that | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
it doesn't expect inflation to come down towards its target level before | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
the end of next year, the recovering UK economy may not benefit | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
households for a while yet. Let's go live to our Political | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Correspondent Ben Wright. Why are Labour pushing so hard on this? | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Well, Nick, this living standards argument is politically potent. | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
There are a couple of classic election campaigns that political | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
parties fight. There is the one where a Government goes to the | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
voters and claims to have repaired a broken economy and asks them not to | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
risk it by voting the other lot back N then there is the one when an | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Opposition looks the voters in the eye and asks them straight - whether | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
they feel better off than they did four or five years ago. I think | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
we'll see both campaigns deployed at the next election. This is a tricky | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
moment from Labour. We know there are rumbling in the ranks about a | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
lack of policy. Another Labour MP spoke out today. The economy is | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
clearly getting some sort of head of steam and beginning to recover, | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
which is why Labour has chosen these figures to show the wages have | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
fallen in real terms since the coalition came to power. It is a big | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
picture point it is making that it hopes will get it votes. The | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
coalition, of course, though, will is a I this all started as a result | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
of a crisis that happened when Labour was in power and are pointing | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
out things it is doing to alleviate the squeeze people are feeling. The | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
argument about how to repair the economy, is shifting to what sort of | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
recovery it'll be and how it is felt in people's pockets. The police say | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
they are becoming increasingly concerned about a 13-year-old girl | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
from Sheffield who has been missing for six days. They have appealed for | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Erika Cacicova to get in touch with them. A man of 22 from brd Ford who | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
was arrested on suspicion of child abduction on Friday, has been | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
released on bail. -- from Bradford. 13-year-old Erika Cacicova, missing | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
for almost a week. Now detectives have pleaded directly to the | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
schoolgirl to get in touch. Erika was last seen leaving her home | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
in the Darnall area of Sheffield last Monday. Do you recognise her? | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
Officers have been carrying out inQuiries in the area where she | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
lived and stressed that time is of the essence. -- inquiries. Erika ka | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
is not in trouble. We just want her to come home and make sure she is | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
safe. A 22-year-old man from Bradford, arrested on suspicion of | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
child abduction, was released today on bail. Officers say he had a | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
friendship the with girl and continues to help the inquiry. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
The search for Erika has widened out to other parts of Yorkshire. The | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
focus now switching to here in Bradford, where police believe she | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
may be staying with friends. Officers from South Yorkshire | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
travelled here and are working with West Yorkshire Police. Everything | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
that we know to date, or what we've had so far would lead us to believe | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
that she's with people she knows. Although Erika Cacicova has been | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
missing before, detectives say her disappearance is out of character. | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
More than 50 officers are helping with the search and urge anyone with | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
information to contact them. Three US soldiers have been killed | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
by insurgents in eastern Afghanistan. The attack took place | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
in Paktia province, in an area close to the border with Pakistan. More | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
than 100 foreign soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan this year. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Nearly 80 Americans. A controversial republican parade in | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Northern Ireland has passed off peacefully. Several hundred bandsmen | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
and their supporters turned out to remember dead republicans, including | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
two IRA men killed when their own bomb exploded. The parade has | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
angered unionists and their families of IRA victims who staged a | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
counter-protest. There was concerns about the parade after a loyal | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
loyalist protest about a parade on Friday, left 56 police officers | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
injured. Our Ireland correspondent is in castle derring now. Bring us | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
up-to-date with the situation there now. -- castlederg. | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
This was a controversial parade because of who was being remembered. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
There were many people but specific focus on two IRA men killed when | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
their bomb went off prematurely. Some of the victims of IRA violence, | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
their families gathered at castle derring to protest. Many were upset | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
and clutched photographs of their loved ones as the parade went | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
through from the town to a specially-built memorial. However, | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
this has passed off peacefully which will come as huge relief to the | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
politicians and the police. There had been many, many appeals for | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
calm, particularly after the trouble on Friday night in the centre of | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
Belfast. Rioting took place after loyalists protested against another | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
completely separate republican parade. However, even if you regard | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
this one as being peaceful, as it was, you still have to say that this | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
marching season has been difficult. It has exposed the pointed and very | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
sharp divisions that exist in Northern Ireland. The politicians | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
have been set a Christmas deadline to try to sort all of these problems | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
about flags, par ands the past. To be frank, that's going to be a big | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
challenge. -- flags, parades and the past. | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
The Israeli government has approved the construction of nearly 1,200 new | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
homes in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Settlements are considered illegal under international law but Israel | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
disputes that. The decision comes ahead of the first peace talks | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
between Israel and the Palestinians for three years. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
The last direct talks were halted in 2010 over the issue of settlement | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
building. The two main rivals for Australia's | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
top political job have gone head-to-head in their first | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
televised debate ahead of an election in September. The Prime | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
Minister, Kevin Rudd, who is vying for another term, and his | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
Conservative rival, Tony abolt. Clashed for an hour during the | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
debate which centred on the economy. -- Tony Abbott. | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Tonight's debate was prime-time viewing. A big moment for the two | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
men vying to lead Australia. Please put your hands together for | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Opposition leader, Tony aboted. | :09:32. | :09:42. | |
race Pitts -- Abbott. The race pitts Kevin Rudd a against Tony Abbott. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Much of the debate focussed on the country's economy, which is now | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
beginning to struggle after decades of growth. Kevin Rudd defended the | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Government's record. David, the key challenge for the global financial | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
crisis was to prevent our economy from falling into recession. | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
Practically every other economy in the world did. But, Tony Abbott said | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Labour's time in power had seen a huge budget surplus, built on the | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
back of a mining boom, transformed into a deficit. | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
Mr Rudd talks about a new way. Well, if you want a new way, you've got to | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
choose. Choose a new government. What did those watching at home | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
think? There was lots of talk, rhetoric and jabba but the heart | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
wasn't there. I didn't get anything from either of the politicians. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
truth is, this evening, that really neither candidate shone in this | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
debate. Certainly neither delivered a knockout blow. They both seemed a | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
little stiff, a little nervous. Perhaps more concerned with avoiding | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
a possiblyly-cost stly -- possibly-costly slip of had up. And | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
with the first of three possible debates over and the polls showing a | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
tight race, there is still all to play for. | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
Now with all the big sports news of the day over to Liz did I at the BBC | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
Sports Centre. If last night's worldletic | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
Championships were all about Mo Farah's long distance domination, | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
tonight attention was on Usain Bolt's sprinting supremacy. He has | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
become the new 100m World Champion in Moscow. | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
Andy Swiss was there. Would it be another victory procession? Usain | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Bolt, unflappable. Almost unbeatable. The title seemingly his | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
for the taking. In a Moscow thunderstorm, what fireworks? | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
America's Justin Gatlin led at first but then Bolt came charging through | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
and, once again, he was World Champion. | :11:54. | :12:03. | |
It was another dazzling display. Britain's James das say lieu | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
finished eighth. The 100m final might have been the showpiece event | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
in another sweltering day here but there was plenty of other British | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
interest, including a medal hope in the long jump. | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
Proctor had finished top of yesterday's qualifying session and | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
it's early signs were encouraging. She was briefly in the silver medal | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
position but ultimately slipped back to finish in sixth. But another big | :12:30. | :12:40. | |
British hope remains firmly on track. Christine Ohorughu. | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
If she can repeat this sort of form in tomorrow's final, she could take | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
some stopping. It was also a good day for Andrew Osaje. He is through | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
the final of the 800m. It was the beginning of a new era at | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
Wembley as David Moyes won his first trophy as Manchester United manager | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
beating Wigan 2-0. Our correspondent Natalie Perks joins me from Wembley. | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
No Sir Alex, but business as usual for United. Well, it wasn't a | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
vintage United performance but it was yet another win. For David | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
Moyes, a chance to show fans what life might be like after Sir Alex. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
After 26 years, just how do you replace the X Factor? Auditions, it | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
seems, were taking place all over Wembley today. Not least for | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
United's new manager, doing his best not to show the pressure. | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
The United fans came in their tens of thousands to show their loyalty, | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
but in the bright sunshine, the shadow of a certain someone still | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
looms large. Moyes's new era started as the last one ended, Robin van | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
Persie yet again with the goods. COMMENTATOR: Robin van Persie is at | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
it again. But a Wigan, full of new signings were finding their way. | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
James McLean had a good chance but his hard work came to nothing. The | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
atmosphere inside Wembley felt muted but any yawns were soon stiffled. | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
That man, again. A timely reminder for Wayne Rooney, perhaps, that he | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
is not the only star at United. Giggs certainly is. Given a standing | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
ovation, three months shy of his 40th birthday. Proof this team might | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
be coached by moist but it was crafted by Sir Alex. -- by Moyes. So | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
winning I with as maintained. Moyes dedicated his trophy to his | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
predecessor but cheekly then said any trophies from now on are | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
strictly down to him. It is fair to say he will have tougher days to | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
come. Thank you very much. After a | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
difficult morning for England at Chester will he Street. Fourth Ashes | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
Test against Australia is finely balanced. Ian Bell's third century | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
of the Series repaired some of the early damage and at stumps on day | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
three, England were 234-5 with a lead of 202. | :15:02. | :15:04. |
