Good afternoon. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
says the NHS can't afford to give staff a 1% pay rise due next year. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
He's recommended to two independent pay review bodies that the health | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
service's 1.3 million don't receive any pay increase at all. The Unite | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
trade union says Mr Hunt is trying to 'emotionally blackmail' staff by | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
suggesting jobs would have to be cut and patient care suffer in order to | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
fund the pay rise. Jon Brain reports. | :00:46. | :00:55. | |
It is still considered one of the reports. | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
most treasured institutions. At the NHS comes at a high price to the tax | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
payer. More than £108 billion in year -- a year in England alone. Two | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
thirds going to staff on pay and pensions. With the common looking | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
for savings, it is proposing to cancel next year's pay rise. -- with | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
the government looking. Staff are working unpaid overtime | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
looking to meet the demands upon them. This is an investment in | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
staff. Frankly, paying them what they are owed. | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
Like other public sector workers, NHS staff had been expecting a 1% | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
increase next April, costing the organisation of £500 million. But | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
the government says many employees already get an automatic annual | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
increment worth an average 3.5% at the cost of 900 million. It wants to | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
reform the existing pay structure. the cost of 900 million. It wants to | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
In a statement, the Department of Health said: | :01:57. | :02:10. | |
The debate is taking place against the background of the scandal at | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
Stafford Hospital, where hundreds of people died needlessly through | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
substandard care. The government insists it faces a | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
stark choice between paying staff more or improving patient care. | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
New CCTV footage has emerged of terrorists inside the Westgate Mall | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
in Nairobi. The images show four men, all carrying automatic weapons, | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
walking through the shopping complex. It's not yet known exactly | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
how many militants were involved in the attack, which claimed the lives | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
of at least 67 people. Divers have resumed their search for | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
the bodies of African migrants who were shipwrecked near the island of | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
Lampedusa. More than 200 passengers are still unaccounted for. The | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
search was delayed this morning because of bad weather. So far 111 | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
bodies have been found. Earlier this morning, local fishermen scattered | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
flowers near where the boat sank on Thursday. | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
Three people have been charged with assisting Dale Creegan in Manchester | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
last year. A woman and two men are accused of helping him when he was | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
last year. A woman and two men are on the run from police. He was given | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
a life sentence for the murders of Fiona Beaune and Nicola Hughes. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Today is the deadline for parents Fiona Beaune and Nicola Hughes. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
earning more than £50,000 pounds a year who currently receive child | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
benefit to register with the tax authorities. Officials say around | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
200,000 people have yet to register and face a fine following new rules | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
introduced by the government to prevent higher earners from | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
receiving child benefits. Joe Lynam explains. | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
Ruth has two children, her husband earns more than £50,000 but she | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
doesn't. She thinks the new charge on child benefit is unfair. | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
The government should look at the total household income and not just | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
the income of one parent who goes out to work while the other stays at | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
home. It is just an attack on traditional family values. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
The high-income charge applies to household with children where one | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
member owns over five -- £50,000. In household with children where one | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
that case, they are liable for the new charge for every £100 in income | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
over 50,000. It either parent earns over city doesn't pounce, they are | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
not entitled to any benefit at all. -- £60,000. In deciding how much and | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
that is to be repaid, age MRC needs families to register themselves. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Assessment. Most people have already done so but almost 200,000 will need | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
to do it by midnight. If people haven't registered by the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
5th of October and they continue to nothing -- to do nothing, they could | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
face charges. That is not what we want people to do. If they have not | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
registered, it is important to register and to file the returns. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
That way we can help mitigate the charge. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
The message is simple. If you are not sure whether the new charge | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
applies to you can your better off registering for self-assessment by | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
tonight. You can always unregistered later. If you don't, you could face | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
expensive penalties. Prince Harry has been greeting | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
crowds in Australia in his first official visit to the country. The | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Prince inspected warships in Sydney Harbour, acting as the Queen's | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
representative at centenary celebrations for the Australian | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
navy. Jon Donnison reports. Prince Harry on duty down under. Few | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
people take a weekend trip to Australia. After a 20 hour flight | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
from he spent much of the day at sea aboard one of a frightened of | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
Australian warships in Sydney's harbour. He is here as part of the | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
International Fleet review, a day of pomp and ceremony. The dignitaries | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
were offered a 100 guns salute to mark the first time the Australian | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
Navy first sailed into Sydney Harbour. These waters have rarely | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
seen so much traffic. Navy ships from countries around the world have | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
joined the Australian fleet, including the HMS daring. After | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
several hours at CNA quick-change outfit, Prince Harry was in amongst | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
them as he got back on dry land for a walkabout. Judging from the | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
reception, not too many Republicans on show, but plenty keen to get to | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
know the fourth in line to the throne. | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
Hopefully he finds me waiting for him! I am a lovely Australian girl. | :06:46. | :06:56. | |
It would be a great life. At nightfall, a spectacle of the Na | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Li. Australians know how to do fireworks. -- spec macula finale. | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
If the prince managed to fight off the jet lag and it was billed as one | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
of the biggest firework displays the world has seen. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
