More wind and rain is forecast for the UK. | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
Joy for Australia as they crushed England to seal a five - zero Ashes | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
whitewash. Good afternoon. The Prime Minister | :00:34. | :00:55. | |
has promised to protect state pensions if the Conservatives win | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
the next election. David Cameron continued to bowl the so-called | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
triple lock which means pensions continue to rise in line with | :01:05. | :01:14. | |
prices, wages, or two wonder half -- 2.5%. More pennies in the pension | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
pot, as the Prime Minister Mrs, with his renewal of the existing policy | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
on the state pension if the Conservatives win then general | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
election. The so-called triple lock guarantees the state pension will | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
rise in line with whichever is highest, wages, prices, or 2.5%. I | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
want people when they reach retirement to know they can have | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
dignity in their old age. People who have worked hard, provided for their | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
families, they should then know that they will get a decent state pension | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
and they don't have to worry about it lagging behind prices. This is an | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
idea that has to be paid for by those who are working and not | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
everybody thinks it is reasonable to ask them to pay more. It seems | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
extremely unfair on young people who face a terrific amount of high costs | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
and will be paying for these higher pensions. It also seems | :02:22. | :02:22. | |
unaffordable. Richer or poorer, the pensioners are | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
the age group most likely to vote. The Conservatives see this is the | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
first plank of their election manifesto. Labour originally | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
supported the idea but will be under pressure to keep it if they win the | :02:42. | :02:53. | |
next election. The trimming back of pensioner benefits has not been | :02:54. | :03:24. | |
ruled out. More heavy rain and strong winds are | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
forecast for all areas of the UK today. The Met Office says the rain | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
will fall on ground already saturated, and with rivers already | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
swollen, more flooding is likely. 72 flood warnings are in place across | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
England and Wales - most of them in southern England and ten in | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
Scotland. And in Northern Ireland, the risk of flooding is highest | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
tomorrow. Chris Eakin is in Malmsbury in Wiltshire. It is about | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
looking to see how the rainfall affects river levels. If you take | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
for example where I am, on the upper reaches of the River Avon which ends | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
at Bristol, the water level has dropped overnight because there was | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
a bit of respite, but it will react extremely quickly to the new rain | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
which falls this afternoon, and that is why there is still a flood | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
warning here, one of 72 that you mentioned in England and Wales. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
There is one in Sunderland in the north-east as well so this is not | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
just about the South of England. Northern Ireland are getting a lot | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
of rain today, and then as we go into next week we will see winds and | :04:29. | :04:40. | |
high tides. For those affected by localised flooding, today is a | :04:41. | :04:53. | |
waiting game again. The US Secretary of State, John | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Kerry, says America is not planning to send troops back to Iraq despite | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
al Qaeda-linked militants seizing control of the key city of Fallujah. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Mr Kerry promised to help fight the militants, but said he was confident | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
the Iraqi government would win. It comes after Iraqi officials | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
acknowledged losing control of the city, which is 50 miles west of | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
Baghdad. Australia have crushed England | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
five-nil in the Ashes. In front of a packed ground in Sydney, they bowled | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
out England cheaply again to win the final Test by 281 runs. It's only | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
the third series whitewash in the 130 year history of the contest - | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
all of them have been Australian triumphs. From Sydney, our chief | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
Sports Correspondent Dan Roan reports. The urn had returned, the | :05:35. | :05:52. | |
whitewash was complete. Earlier Australia had compounded England's | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
agony. In the first innings Alastair Cook had gone second ball, today he | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
lasted until the second over. We knew what would happen next. They | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
may have been tempted to blame their tools, but the senior batsmen know | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
they have not been good enough here, Kevin -- Kevin Pietersen failing and | :06:10. | :06:23. | |
other batsmen then came and went in the blink of an eye. The only two | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
Englishman who leave here with them reputations intact, Ben Stokes and | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Stuart Broad did at least go down with their bats swinging, but the | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
rout was complete. England losing by 281 runs, losing 5-0 and losing | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
perhaps like they have never lost before. We have obviously let the | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
supporters down because we have not played very well and the results | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
suggest that. The players have a feeling they have let themselves | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
down because we have not performed. It is only Stuart Broad and Ben | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
Stokes who have delivered close to their potential. Everyone else will | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
be hurting. This has arguably been England's worst tour other, and the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
team will come under scrutiny. The inquest will now begin, but with | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
another Ashes series as soon as next year, answers are needed fast. | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
A massive rise in cash machine fraud is being fuelled by international | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
criminals targeting the UK, according to an undercover | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
investigation by the BBC's Inside Out programme. It's discovered | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
evidence that sophisticated equipment is being sold to thieves | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
so they can steal money from people's bank accounts. Mary Rhodes | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
reports. Toni Nicholls knows how it feels to become a cashpoint victim. | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
She had ?700 taken from her account at this supermarket cashpoint. I was | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
really upset, crying, thinking I had lost this money. Until then, there | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
was nothing suspicious. The thieves trapped her card and watched enter | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
her PIN, when she walked away, they withdrew her card and all her cash. | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
Other thieves are more sophisticated, like these ones | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
caught on CCTV. They are fitting a false front to this cashpoint with a | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
special device to read the information from cash cards. They | :08:26. | :08:35. | |
have also fitted a camera to record PIN numbers. They are not the only | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
ones active. This man, who says he is from America, is boasting about | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
the equipment he claims he's sold to thieves in the Midlands. We posed as | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
potential buyers to get him to talk. He said for $1000 he would supply | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
everything we needed. The UK is very good. It has always been a good | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
hotspot. You guys deal with pounds, that is why the Russians and | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Bulgarians tried to go there. The money there is extremely good. We | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
discovered other websites offering the same type of equipment. Fraud | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
investigators have promised to act on our findings. This is an area | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
where there are increases and we are doing all we can to reverse that | :09:25. | :09:35. | |
trend. We will add this to the list of cases we take up on behalf of | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
people and try to get the people behind it. You can see more on that | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
story on Inside Out in the West Midlands tomorrow night at 7:30pm. | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
One of football's all time greats, the Portugal and Benfica striker | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
Eusebio, has died aged 71. He played 64 times for his country, scoring 41 | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
goals, and was the top scorer in the 1966 World Cup. Patrick Gearey looks | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
back at his meteoric career. Eusebio... Oh, my word! The pictures | :10:15. | :10:24. | |
might be dated, the technique can still be admired. 1966 might be | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
remembered as the year England won the World Cup, but Eusebio was the | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
star of the tournament. He had no choice but to represent Portugal and | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
drove the side forward, often appearing to win matches on his own. | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
In the quarterfinal in 1966 Portugal were trailing, but Eusebio changed | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
everything. Defeat turning to victory by one man. In all, Eusebio | :10:52. | :11:07. | |
scored 44 goals for Portugal. He had come to prominence scoring twice for | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
Benfica in 1962. He was to become a personal -- prolific goal-scorer for | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
the club and defenders knew they had to stop him somehow. Nobby Stiles | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
here with a typically robust attempt. Eusebio was rarely | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
ruffled, his engaging demeanour was well-known and well used by | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
Portugal. Eusebio Da Silva Ferreira, a and national icon. That | :11:38. | :11:51. | |
is all from me. The next news is on BBC One at 5:35pm. Goodbye for now. | :11:52. | :12:02. | |
There are signs that over the week ahead, this would be some | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
improvement in the weather. But it has certainly been a very stormy | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
spell for all of | :12:11. | :12:11. |
