A tax break for some married couples and more help for aspiring home | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
owners, pledges from the Conservatives ahead of their annual | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
party conference. But will David Cameron convince sceptical voters | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
and his own backbenchers that he is on the side of hardworking families? | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
And in Greece, an unprecedented crackdown on the far-right Golden | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Dawn party as its leader and four other MPs are arrested. | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
A vigil in Nairobi for the victims of the Kenyan shopping centre siege, | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
as a sixth Briton is confirmed dead. Good evening. David Cameron has | :00:34. | :01:01. | |
arrived in Manchester, ahead of the start of the Conservatives' annual | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
conference, amid policy announcements including a tax break | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
for some married couples, and the early introduction of a | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
controversial scheme to help aspiring home buyers. As Ian Watson | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
reports, his over-riding message over the next few days is expected | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
to be that the economy is improving, so "let us finish the job." | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
David Cameron was well protected from voters as he swept into the | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
secure zone around his party conference. But his task is to reach | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
out to hard-working families and tell them he is in touch with their | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
concerns. And he had good news for this couple who got marriage today. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
They may have tied the knot for love but now they could get some money. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
Marriage is a great institution and it helps to build a good and strong | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
society so it is right to back marriage in the income tax system. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Most other advanced industrial countries do it and we should also | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
do it. The part -- the policy would also apply to civil partnerships and | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
gay couples. This is how it would work... That could save up to £200 | :02:08. | :02:19. | |
each year from 2016. At only basic rate taxpayers would benefit and the | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Conservatives say one in three married couples will gain. Nick | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
Clegg called the idea patronising drivel and he will not vote against | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
it. Labour said the money could be better spent. Tomorrow, the Prime | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Minister will announce plans to bring forward a scheme to help | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
families with limited savings get on the housing ladder, but critics fear | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
families with limited savings get on this will push up house prices. The | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
sunshine was out in Manchester and Conservatives were upbeat, they | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
believe the economy has turned a corner and the message is, please | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
let us finish the job! At some say there are darker political clout on | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
the horizon. Labour focused on the cost of living last week because | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
they want to attach themselves to fairness because they think | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Conservatives have a weakness with that. Statistics show the economic | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
is getting better at Labour saying, some of better and others are being | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
left behind, and Conservatives need to be aware of that. Even before the | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
conference, activists were having an exchange of opinions. And the policy | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
divide between the parties is likely to grow. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Ian, what does David Cameron have to do convince voters and his | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
backbenchers? You are right to point to those 26. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
He has to prove he can help hard-pressed families in a way | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
different from the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats. -- to point | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
to those factors. So the married couples tax allowance was an attempt | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
to form a closer relationship with those who say he should sound a bit | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
more Conservative. And the housing announcement will send shivers up | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
the spine of Vince Cable who is worried about a house bobble. But | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
David Cameron says in the North of England, there is no housing | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
bubble. Expect opponents on welfare also and education. Over Cameron is | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
saying, give me a majority and I can achieve this. His opponents say that | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
all he will do is prove his -- he is out of touch. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Thank you. A sixth Briton has been confirmed dead following the Kenyan | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
shopping centre siege, as the Foreign Office said it could not | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
rule out the possible discovery of further British casualties. It comes | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
amid reports that the Kenyan government was warned by Israel of a | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
high risk of action by islamic militants. Our Africa correspondent, | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
Andrew Harding, has more. Inside the ruins of the Westgate | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Andrew Harding, has more. Shopping Mall today. Survivors are | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
being allowed back into claim their vehicles, even as dozens of bodies | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
are still thought to be missing somewhere under the rubble. Huge | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
destruction. This is our car. This man was among the first | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
civilians to go in this morning. Everything had caved down so you | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
could see the metal, you could see cars on top of the rubble that had | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
come down from the top level. It is just one giant cave in that will | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
take months to work through. It is a mess. | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
New footage of the attack itself, Red Cross officials frantically | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
ushering people to safety. Today, there were new claims the Kenyan | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
authorities overlooked warnings ahead of the attack, what it is not | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
clear how specific they were. Exactly one week after the killings | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
started, there is still enormous confusion and uncertainty. Kenya | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
government insists its and intelligence forces did the best | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
they could in chaotic circumstances, but many are starting to question | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
that. For this man, a difficult moment. | :06:10. | :06:18. | |
The businessman was captured in these photographs going repeatedly | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
back into the building to save civilians trapped by the fighting. | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
Including this four-year-old American girl. Somehow persuaded to | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
run for her life. She was very brave. A little girl her age running | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
towards strange men holding guns is not easy. I am not sure if any child | :06:37. | :06:46. | |
her age would have done the same. It has tested many here and there | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
are plenty of questions as well as prayers right now. | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
Kenya seems determined not to be divided by the horrors of the past | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
week. Four people, including a | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
16-year-old, have appeared in court charged with murder over a house | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
fire that killed four members of the same family in Leicester. Bilal and | :07:05. | :07:17. | |
Jamil Taufiq, as well as their mother Sheneela and sister Zainab, | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
died in the fire at their home two weeks ago. Three other men have also | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
been charged for their murder. Thousands of people have marched in | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
protest over plans to close services at Stafford Hospital, just days | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
before a public consultation ends. The demonstration was against plans | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
to move maternity and paediatric services from the hospital which was | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
at the centre of a health scandal and was put into administration last | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
April. In an unprecedented crackdown on the | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
far right in Greece, the leader of the controversial Golden Dawn party | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
and four other MPs have been arrested on charges of belonging to | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
a criminal organisation. The arrests come after the killing of a | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
left-wing activist by an alleged Golden Dawn supporter ten days ago. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Mark Lowen's report from Athens does contain some flash photography. | :07:58. | :08:09. | |
They were, it seemed, untouchable until now. The leader and senior MPs | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party in Greece seized for being part of a | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
criminal group. An extraordinary moment, the first mass arrests of | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
MPs here in 40 years. Angry supporters gathered outside, golden | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
dawn has 18 MPs, its ratings soared with the economic crisis. But after | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
a left-wing musician was killed by an alleged member, government moved | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
fast. This is an unprecedented clamp-down on golden dawn. | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
Supporters are on the back foot and in the police headquarters, the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
senior party leadership is under arrest. Government believes this is | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
the beginning of the end of golden dawn but it has a big challenge to | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
crush the neo-Nazis. But golden dawn vows it will not be silenced. -- | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
Golden Dawn. This is only the beginning. There and not ours. The | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
government says it will crush you. No wait! Tonight, they were taken to | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
court to be charged and the government will have two questions | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
-- have to answer why it took months to arrest the party. This stunned | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
country waits to see if Golden Dawn will fight back. | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
There is fresh political instability in Italy after ministers from the | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
party of the former Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi have resigned from | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
the coalition government. The ministers, from his centre-right | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
party, quit after what they called an "unacceptable ultimatum" from the | :09:41. | :09:50. | |
current Prime Minister to back him. A second earthquake has struck a | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
remote part of Baluchistan province in South West Pakistan. Four hundred | :09:53. | :10:02. | |
people died after an earthquake there on Tuesday, which was so | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
powerful, a new island emerged from the sea. Over a hundred thousand | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
people have been affected but aid has still not reach many of the | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
worst affected areas, as Aleem Maqbool reports. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
First, a disaster, now in dignity. People at the epicentre of the | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
earthquake is still not getting help. Salvaging what they can of | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
their lives with their bare hands. It was already one of the most | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
impoverished areas of Pakistan. Now whole villages have been reduced to | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
rubble. Hundreds have lost their lives and many more have been left | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
injured, with medical help only reaching a fraction of those who | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
need it. The army says age distribution has been hampered | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
need it. The army says age notched just by poor road networks | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
and communication at by poor security -- the distribution of aid. | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
Off the coast of the province, a different consequence of the | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
violence. Amazingly, this was not here are a few days -- a couple of | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
days ago, a new island forced out by the tremors, methane gas still | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
bubbles around. This is very interesting. This is the part of the | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
sea bed which comes out from the sea. Studies will have to be | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
completed soon. Experts reckon the island could disappear again within | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
months. What nature has thrown up is | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
fascinating and it does feel like a privilege to be here. But it has | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
thrown up hundreds of miles away the station and suffering. And that | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
cannot be forgotten while looking at this incredible place. | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
With all the sport, Catherine Downes at the BBC Sport Centre. | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
Good evening, there were plenty of goals in the Barclays Premier | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
League. Much of the day follows, so look away now. Dash-mac chip of the | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
day. Under David Moyes, Manchester United have made their worst start | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
in 24 years, beaten 2-1 by West Bromwich at Old Trafford and they | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
are down to 12 in the table. Arsenal came out winners at Swansea in a | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
match that marked 17 years in charge for the manager. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
Aaron Ramsey scored the second goal, so they climbed two points clear at | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
the top of the league. A shock for Manchester City, beaten | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
3-2 at Aston Villa, and the problems continue for Fulham and Crystal | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Palace. Chelsea and Tottenham drew. Celtic were in goal-scoring form, | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
beating Kilmarnock 5-2 at Rugby Park. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
Georgios Samaras -- Georgios Samaras scored a hat trick. | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
This kind of look would come in handy on Tuesday, Kris Commons had | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
this shot into an empty net. That was fortunate but the goals from | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
Georgios Samaras were anything but. The first was able to effect | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
powerful shot. The second a tap in after great teamwork. 3-0 and | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
comfortable, Kilmarnock needed something to cling onto and it was | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
provided. After half-time, they drew closer. Celtic manager Neil Lennon | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
was rightly concerned and soon had reason to be cheerful. Georgios | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
Samaras completed the hat trick to reason to be cheerful. Georgios | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
quash the Kilmarnock come back and this rounded off a handsome victory. | :13:36. | :13:46. | |
Ring on bass! -- Barca. Dundee drew at hearts, and elsewhere... | :13:46. | :13:56. | |
Saracens stay top of the premiership after eating Harlequins. They came | :13:56. | :14:04. | |
from behind. -- beating. Chris Ashton scored the only try of the | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
game and Owen Farrell kicked the rest of the points. | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
And a Dutch cyclist has retained her road race title at the World | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
Championships in Italy. British road race title at the World | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
Olympic silver medallist Lizzie Armistead finished ninth. This is | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
the third time the Dutch cyclist has been champion. A talented lady. | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
