Europe re-emerges as a fault line for the Conservatives, as David | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Cameron's own backbenchers urge him to take action. Nearly 100 Tory MPs | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
tell the Prime Minister that Britain should be able to veto EU | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
legislation. We want a different relationship | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
with the European Union, that allows democracy. Democracy is about the | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
right to make and change or own laws. The division comes as the | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
Government says it wants to work more closely with Europe to further | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
limit migrants' access to benefits. Also: Ariel Sharon is honoured at | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
the Israeli Parliament, ahead of the former Prime Minister's funeral | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
tomorrow. A bumper year for Jaguar Land Rover, | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
as a spike in exports helps deliver record sales and the stars are out | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
for the Golden Globes in Hollywood, as the curtain rises on the film | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
award season. Good evening. Nearly 100 | :01:01. | :01:20. | |
Conservative MPs have written to David Cameron urging him to change | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
the law to give Britain more powers to reject European Union | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
legislation. The Prime Minister has pledged to reform Britain's | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
relationship with Europe and put it to a referendum in 2017 if he wins | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
the next election. But many of his MPs appear to want to go further | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
sooner. Is the letter emerged as the Work and Pensions Secretary said he | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
was working other countries in Europe to try and extend the ban on | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
migrants' access to some benefits. Here's our political correspondent, | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Vicki Young. With European elections in May, David Cameron is under | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
pressure. He has promised to renegotiate Britain's relationship | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
with the EU and hold a referendum. Many of his side are wresless. They | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
don't think that will be enough to see off the threat from the UK | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
independence party. There have been some changes already, when Romanians | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
and Bulgarians got free access to the UK's job market at the beginning | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
of the year, ministers tightened the rules so new arrivals have to wait | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
three months before claiming benefits. Now the Government is | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
working with others in the EU to go further. There is a groundswell of | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
opinion out there that says people may be able to move from one country | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
to another to get a job. To move from one to another to live off the | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
state is not acceptable. Some argue it is a phoney debate because | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
migrants contribute to the economy. Actually I am quite puzzled that we | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
have this debate at this moment. Immigrants from EU countries, over | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
the last decade, have been more likely to be in employment. They are | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
very well educated and they paid in 34% more into the system, in terms | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
of taxes, than what they took out in terms of transfers and benefits. A | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
significant number of Conservative MPs believe the UK should have of | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
total control over its borders and the only way to do that is by | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
reducing the influence of Brussels. Almost 100 have written to Mr | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
Cameron, urging them to give Parliament a national veto over | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
current and future EU laws. We want a different relationship with the | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
European Union, that allows democracy. Democracy is about the | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
right to make and change your own laws. And that's what we are asking | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Parliament to take back. But senior Conservatives say the | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
idea is unrealistic. If national Parliaments all around the European | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Union were regularly and unilaterally just able to choose | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
which bits of EU law they would apply and which bits they wouldn't, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
well then the European single market wouldn't work. The Liberal Democrats | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
leader said it is sensible to work with other countries on restricting | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
migrant benefits. Hell accused the Tories of jeopardising millions of | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
British jobs by threatening to leave the EU. It is essential that we | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
remain an open trading nation, not pull up the draw bridge, not cower | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
we hind the White Cliffs of Dover to. Have that spirit to know we can | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
win in the world to be open. David Cameron is not the first | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Conservative leader trying to find himself to unite a party with very | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
different views on Europe. Let 's join Vicky now. How | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
significant would you say this letter is? It is significant because | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
they have decided to go public in the first place. Significant because | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
of the sheer number, almost one-third of Tory MPs who back this | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
idea. The problem for David Cameron is tinkers with changes on migrants | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
is all very well, but it will not satisfy this group of MPs. They want | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
something more sweeping, giving powers back, giving this place here | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
a veto over EU laws. The Prime Minister made it clear it would not | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
happen. The message later this week is that Britain is not isolated when | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
it comes to change in the EU, that other countries are coming in our | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
direction. If UKIP do well in May, there'll be more pressure on David | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Cameron to be much clearer and define more clearly how he sees | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Britain's relation relationship developing with the EU. Thank you. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Thousands of mourners have been filing past the coffin of the former | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, at his laying in state in | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Jerusalem. Mr Sharon died yesterday at the age of 85, eight years after | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
a stroke which left him in a comma. Our Middle East editor reports from | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Jerusalem. And then there was one. As the | :05:48. | :05:57. | |
coffin lay in state at the kes net, the country's 90-year-old President | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
paid his respects. With Sharon dead heed is the last political survivor | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
of the generation of 1948 that founded modern Israel. | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
And among Israeli citizens who filed in was this man, saluting his old | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
commander. It is a big commitment. I think that | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
everybody should do that. That's why. I am sorry, I cannot | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
talk. But Palestinians, especially, are | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
not shedding tears for Ariel Sharon. They say he spent his life shedding | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
their blood and taking land they want for a state for Jewish | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
settlements. One of the big what ifs is what | :06:45. | :06:57. | |
might have happened had Sharon not had that stroke in 2006. Would he | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
have pulled settlers out of the West Bank, as he pulled them out of Gaza? | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
I absolutely am certain that you would have acted to separate Israel | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
from the Palestinian Palestinians to the utmost. Which means that Israel | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
would have pulled out from most of the territory. That's all hi per | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
thetal. These days, the Americans are having another day at brokerring | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
peace between Israel and the Palestinians. The big surprise would | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
be success. It is eight years ago this month | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
that Ariel Sharon had the stroke that sent him into a coma. It is a | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
sign of his place in modern Middle East history that there are so many | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
here in Israel that venerate him and so many others, especially | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Palestinians, who get very angry about what he did. | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
Jaguar Land Rover has announced record sales for last year, selling | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
more than 400,000 vehicles. The figures were boosted by a 40% leap | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
in overseas sales of Jaguars w the cars proving popular in America, | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Germany and India. Our business correspondent, Joe Lyman, reports. | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
They are the vehicles of choice for future kings, as well as current | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
Prime Ministers. And increasingly so for thousands of drivers around the | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
world. Jaguar land rover have not sold as many as they did last year, | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
with America, India and Germany seeing the biggest growth. | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
In all, Jaguar Land Rover sold 425,000 of its luxury vehicles | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
around the world. Up nearly a fifth. The Land Rover brand, which includes | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
Range Rover, accounted for 550,000 of those sales. Up 15%. 75,000 | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
Jaguar cars were sold. Up 42% on the previous year, as the customer base | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
gets younger. We have had the core key ingredients in 2013. We had | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
fabulous products for Jaguar and Land Rover we have introduced to the | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
market. We continue to invest in global manufacturing facilities. | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
Really, we have hit the marbling with the public all over -- the | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
market with the public all over the globe, with that Britishness of the | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
cars we have got. GLR is one of the biggest employers, with 26,000 staff | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
in its plants in the West Midlands and Merseyside. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
The turn around at Jaguar Land Rover has been phenomenal. Five years ago, | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
as the recession started, the demand for cars fell off a cliff, and they | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
even stopped making them for a while. They went cap in hand for a | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
bailout to the UK Government. What they didn't do was stop focussing on | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
quality. They aimed at the emerging markets and they got them. Without | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
China they would not be as nearly exciting. They have a long way to go | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
in China. There's spectacular growth there. We are seeing growth in India | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
and Germany and the United States. It is a booed-based growth. -- it is | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
a broad-based growth. Car sales are at their highest since 2 oh 0 - oi | :10:20. | :10:29. | |
2007. Iran will stop some of its uranium enrichment in eight days in | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
turn for the easing of sanctions. The agreement came in international | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
talks on implementing the nuclear deal reached last November. For the | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
first time in almost a decade, Iran's nuclear programme will not be | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
able to advance. In fact, parts of it will be rolled back. While we | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
start negotiating, a comprehensive agreement to address the | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
international commune Citity's -- community's concern about Iran's | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
nuclear programme. After nearly a month of fighting Government forces | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
in South Sudan are attempting to re-capture the last key town still | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
in the hands of rebel fighters as peace talks in Ethiopia stall. | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
Travels of civilians are trying to escape the violence. | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
The first boats arrive at dawn. Desperate families fleeing heavy | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
fighting on the far side of the River Nile. | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
It is not a free trip. This grandmother has had to borrow money | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
to pay for the crossing. How many times in your life have you had to | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
run because of war? She goes through the list. This is the tenth, she | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
says. The children wait patiently nearby, | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
while the wounded are brought ashore. | :11:59. | :12:07. | |
There is a Government soldier. A grandfather. But Peter's younger | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
brother didn't make it. Shot besides him, he says, by the rebels. | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
Then the bullet didn't come out and then in the head. So he died? Yes. | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
Nobody plays with me again. The survivors gather for Sunday | :12:25. | :12:36. | |
worship, praying for an end to a bewildering conflict - a power | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
struggle which is splitting the country on ethnic lines. Suddenly a | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
muffled roar, air strikes, out of sight, across the river. | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
We head deeper into the countryside. We are trying to find a group of | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
families we have heard may be taking refuge up ahead. The concern is | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
because this is such a vast country and access is so difficult, there | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
may be tens of thousands of people in the same situation. | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
We find a family, sheltering from the sun. | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
They got here yesterday. Five in their group were killed on the | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
journey. They say thousands more are still trapped on the far side of the | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
river. But there is a new arrival - this | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
baby was born last week, as his mother hid in the bushes besides the | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
Nile, waiting for a boat to safety. France's First Lady, Valerie | :13:28. | :13:40. | |
Trierweiler, has been treated in hospital just days after her | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
partner, President Francois Hollande, was accused of having an | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
affair. Closer magazine claimed on Friday that Mr Hollande has been | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
having an affair with an actress. What do we know of her condition, | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
Christian? Well, the Elysee Palace is tonight confirming that Valerie | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
Trierweiler was admitted to hospital on Friday, the same day that the | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
gossip magazine published these damning photographs of President | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
Hollande leaving an aapartment where allegedly he spent the night with | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
Julie Gayet. The Elysee says Valerie Trierweiler is suffering from a | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
severe bout of the blues. She's had a weekend of rest. She will leave | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
hospital tomorrow, said her spokesman, before deciding what to | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
do next. There in lies the problem. Valerie Trierweiler is still | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
fulfilling the role as First Lady, despite the fact they are not | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
married. They are due to go to Washington in February at the | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
invasion of the Obamas. Some heavyweight comment taters demanding | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
that President Hollande spells out the situation. You might expect | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
public sympathy with Valerie Trierweiler. 89% of the French want | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
the President to say that they are separating. For him, the timing | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
could hardly be any worse. On Tuesday, he's got to make a big New | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
Year's speech on the agenda, jobs and unemployment, the high taxes, | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
the corrosive effect of the taxes on the economy and instead, the one | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
question he will answer and he said he will, is this question about his | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
very tangled love life. Thank you. More than 60 flood warnings remain | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
in force tonight, with more rain forecast overnight. The Environment | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
Agency said it is particularly concerned about flooding in | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
southeast England and along parts of the River Thames. Residents of old | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
Windsor, which has been severely affected by the floods for days, say | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
it has been very difficult for them. Physically and mentally it has been | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
affecting us very badly. You know, you just, it has been going on and | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
on. It is like a slow water torture. The levels have been rising and | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
rising. Luckily they are falling a bit now. But it has been very, very | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
hard. Very hard indeed. England's dismaltour of Australia | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
continued today with defeat in the first one day international. England | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
made 269-7 after deciding to bat first. That total never proved | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
challenging enough. Aaron Finch scored a century for Australia, who | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
reached their target with six wickets and 26 balls to spare. | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
Football, and there were two matches in the Barclays Premier League and | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
one in Scotland this afternoon. Match Of The Day and Sportscene | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
follow the news. Look away now if you don't want to know the results. | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
Manchester City won 2-0 at Newcastle. The home side having what | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
would be been an equaliser denied them by the referee. City returns to | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
the top of the league. And Luis Suarez starred as Liverpool | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
won an eight-goal thriller against Stoke at the Brit Britannia Stadium. | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
That sees them return to the top four. The one match in the Scottish | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
preem yearship saw Dundee United and Inverness share the points. The film | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
industry award season begins with the Golden Globes. Often a good | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
guide as to who might triumph of at the Oscars. This year there is a | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
strong British contingent. Let's go live to Peter Bowes in Los Angeles. | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
It looks like it will be quite a night. Five out of the ten nominees | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
in the main acting category are British. Many of the behind the | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
scenes film makers are represented as well. The musicians and the | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
writers. It is a very good year for the British film industry, which | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
continues to make its line in Hollywood. You will see some flash | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
photography. Some of Hollywood and the UK's bigsest names have -- | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
biggest names have been out on the town, celebrating the success of | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
British nominees at the annual tea party hosted by BAFTA. 12 Years A | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
Slave has the most nominations for the Golden Globes. A film about a | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
man who was sold into slavery is based on a true story. The main | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
character is played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, who is nominated for Best | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
Actor in a drama. It has been an extraordinary journey with this | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
film. It is a film we are all deeply proud of. We are thrilled to be in | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
this moment and in the mix of a year which has so many different films | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
and an incredible range and and diversity and topics and styles. The | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
British actor is up against strong competition, including Hanks, who | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
plays the captain of a container vessel hijacked by Somali pirates it | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
is another story based on real events. The flight was bumpy. The | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
food was awful. You would think first class... . Cate Blanchett | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
scores in Blue Jasmine. She is a strong favourite for Best Actress. | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
As the Oscar nominations approach next week, you are the lady everyone | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
is talking about. I hate to make this sound like a horse race, but so | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
many people do, and you are the... People bet on it, don't they? And | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
they are betting on you. I hope I don't disappoint. Depending on what | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
happens in the next few hours those odds could change considerably. | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
Thank you. And that's all from me. Now on BBC | :19:28. | :19:28. |
