No pay rise for over 1 million NHS staff. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
warns that the Government cannot afford a planned 1% rise without | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
cutting jobs or endangering patient care. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
New footage as the gunmen in the Kenyan shopping centre attack are | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
named. Police say they could have been as few as four. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
And Prince Harry goes walkabout down under. | :00:30. | :00:51. | |
Hello there, good evening. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt says the NHS | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
cannot afford to give staff a 1% pay rise which was due next year. He has | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
recommended to two independent pay rise which was due next year. He has | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
review bodies that health service staff do not receive their annual | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
pay increase, although many may still get a Riesling to their length | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
of service. Elf correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
Staff pay is the single biggest cost for the NHS, accounting for about | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
two thirds of the spend. Every year the NHS pay review body decides what | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
sort of salary increase the 1.3 million staff in England should | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
receive. Long serving nurses like Mike Travis are counting on the pay | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
rise. I have been a paediatric nurse for 33 years now, and it would just | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
mean that I would not get a pay rise again this year. What's Jeremy Hunt | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
is doing is, he is taking a club to our pay scales, and he does not | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
understand the damage that he will inflict on ordinary working nurses | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
like me. Like other public sector workers, NHS staff had been | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
expecting a 1% increase next April, which would cost the health service | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
in England about £500 million. But the Government says this is on top | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
of annual increments, pay rises linked to length of service, which | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
ministers say will cost an additional £900 million that the NHS | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
cannot afford. Holding the pay rise for NHS staff has already sparked | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
outrage protests from both unions and the opposition, who accuse | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
outrage protests from both unions ministers of using bullying | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
tactics. It was a promise made to them, and I don't think it's | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
acceptable for the Secretary of State, as a result of his own | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
incompetence, to come along and say, you are not getting that after all, | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
it is a kick in the teeth. Who are given their all to keep the NHS | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
going in difficult times. But there is support for the Government from | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
the body that represents foundation trust hospitals, which have more | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
leeway when it comes to awarding pay rises. We face an increase, 4% per | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
year, in terms of demand for services and we do not have the | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
money to afford the increase. We need to improve the quality of | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
services and patient safety, and we need to provide services to patients | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
seven days a week. This is the Department of Health's opening | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
negotiating position. The pay review body will not report until early | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
next year. Kenya's military has named four men | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
it says were part of a group of up to six attackers who carried out the | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
terrorist attack in Nairobi last month. 67 people were killed in the | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
Westgate shopping more. Video has emerged of the heavily armed | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
attackers inside the complex. From Nairobi, Gabriel Gatehouse reports. | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
CCTV footage shows one of the men in what appears to be a storeroom. He | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
beckons to his associates, and three others follow him. They looked | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
relaxed as they searched the area. One man has been identified as a | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
Kenyan national. Little is known about a second man, named only as | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
Umayr. Two others have been named and are said to be from Sudan and | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
Somalia. Security experts say that at least some of the men were on the | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
security agency's radar. Two names, and very prominently, names that | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
have been known to the security forces for quite some time, so why | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
they were still in circulating is something that bothers us. The | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
release of these names is the first significant bit of information to | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
come out of the ongoing investigation into what happened at | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
Westgate, but even as Nairobi returns to some sort of normality, | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Kenyon is still have many more questions than they have answers. -- | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
canyons. Investigators are still working their way through CCTV | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
footage and forensic work is being carried out on some of the bodies | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
footage and forensic work is being taken from Westgate, information | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
that could help provide a more complete picture on how a small | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
number of attackers managed to cause so much carnage. | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
Today is the deadline for parents to register with the tax authorities if | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
they earn more than £50,000 and currently receive child benefit. | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Officials say around 200,000 people have yet to register and face a | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
fine. It follows new rules introduced by the Government to | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
prevent high earners from receiving child benefit. Joe Lynam reports. | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
Ruth has two children, but her husband earns more than £50,000, but | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
she does not. She thinks the new charge on child benefit is unfair. | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
The Government should look at the total household income, and not just | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
the income of one parent who goes out to work while the other stays at | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
home. It is an attack on traditional family values. The high income child | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
benefit charge applies to households with children where one member earns | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
over £50,000. In that case, they would be liable for the new charge | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
at a rate of 1% for every £100 over 50,000, but if either parent earns | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
over £60,000, they are not entitled to any child benefit at all and must | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
voluntarily opt out or pay back the benefit. The message from a -- HMRC | :06:19. | :06:28. | |
is simple. If you are not sure whether it applies to you, you are | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
best of registering for self-assessment by tonight. If not, | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
you could face expensive penalties. They run the risk of paying a charge | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
as big as the child benefit they are paying back, and we just want to get | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
the system up and running, so it is important they register, even if | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
they do it late. Facing a budget deficit of over £100 billion, the | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
Treasury said it was only fair that the top 15% of households made a | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
contribution. People earning £30,000 per year should not be paying taxes | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
to fund benefits for those wealthier households. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Whether or not those affected think the new charge is fair, the vast | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
majority of the 1.1 million people who it applies to have already | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
registered to pay it through the tax system. The remaining 200,000 have | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
until midnight to do so. Protests have been taking place in | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
cities around the world over the detention of 30 Greenpeace activists | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
in Russia. They have been charged with piracy after a demonstration at | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
a Russian oil platform in the Arctic. Six are British, and Sarah | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Campbell has been speaking to relatives and supporters who have | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
been holding a protest in London today. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
A worrying time for the friends, families and supporters of the six | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
British nationals imprisoned in Northern Rock. The authorities have | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
allowed little contact. Geordie Harris has received just one e-mail | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
from her older sister. She is very upset. She cannot see her friends, | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
it is a very emotional time, and she's still trying to work out why | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
this is happening to them all. The campaigners were protesting against | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
drilling in the Arctic at a Russian platform. They were prevented from | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
boarding by armed platform. They were prevented from | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
charged with piracy, which carries a maximum jail term of 15 years. | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
Protests like this are happening in 40 different countries, and the idea | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
is to pile pressure on the Russian authorities as publicly as possible. | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
Helping to do that, high-profile supporters, Damon Albarn and Jude | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
law, both family friends of an activist. They get into these | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
situations, often expecting arrest, and that draws attention, which is a | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
positive, but the idea that there is a possibility of a 15 year prison | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
stretch is beyond reason. Kieran Brian's family travelled from Devon | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
to show their support. I just cannot stop thinking about it all the time, | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
it is every minute of every day. Hopefully, you know, things like | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
this and what Greenpeace are doing will just help get him home, we just | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
want him home. The UK Foreign Office says it will continue to raise the | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
issue with the Russian authorities. The families can do little but wait | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
and hope for a breakthrough. Prince Harry has been greeting | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
crowds in Australia in his first official visits to the country. He | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
inspected warships in Sydney Harbour, acting as the Queen's | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
representative at centenary submissions for the Australian navy. | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
representative at centenary Jon Donnison reports. | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
Prince Harry on duty down under. Few people take a weekend trip to | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Australia, and after a 20 hour flight he spent much of the day at | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
sea aboard one of a flotilla of Australian warships in Sydney's | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
magnificent harbour. Prince Harry is here as guest of honour for the | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
Australian navy's international fleet review. After several hours at | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
sea and a quick change outfits, Prince Harry in amongst them as he | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
got back on dry land for a walkabout. Judging from the | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
reception he got, not too many Republicans on show, but plenty keen | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
to get to know the fourth in line to the throne. Hopefully he finds me | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
waiting for him, yes! I am a lovely Australian girl, I would make a | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
great wife, ready for the prince! Is very popular in Australia, because | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
he is down-to-earth, and he gets on with everybody, he is well liked | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
here. And at nightfall, a spectacular finale. Australians know | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
how to do fireworks. The Harbour transformed, the famous opera house | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
providing the canvas for a dazzling light show. If the prince managed to | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
fight off the jet lag, he will have witnessed what was billed as one of | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
the biggest firework displays the world has ever seen. | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
And that is it, we are back with the | :11:07. | :11:07. |
