The Chancellor, Phillip Hammond, has said the Government will not | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
spend heavily in his budget on Wednesday, because it needs | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
"reserves in the tank" as it prepares to leave the EU. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Mr Hammond said his job was to ensure the economy was resilient. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
He's also warned the EU that Britain will not slink off like a "wounded | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
animal" if it does not secure the Brexit deal it wants. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
Our political correspondent, Susana Mendonca, reports. | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
Don't expect bundles of cash to pop out of his red box on Wednesday. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
The Chancellor is not planning to go on | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
He is under pressure to put more money into the | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
NHS, to plug the growing funding gap in social | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
care for the elderly, and | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
to help small firms deal with rising business rates. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
But he is batting off suggestions that there is a Brexit | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
If your bank increases your credit card | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
limit, I don't think you feel obliged to go out and spend every | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
I regard my job as Chancellor as making sure that our | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
economy is resilient, that we have reserves in the tank | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
so as we embark on the journey that we will be | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
taking over the next couple of years. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
We are confident we have enough gas in the tank to see us | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Labour says the Government does not understand | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
the pressures facing those on low income. | :01:47. | :01:47. | |
We believe that there is a squeeze on | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
living standards and we believe there should be a real living wage, | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
We can tackle tax evasion, tax avoidance, which is | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
on an industrial scale in this country. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
End the tax cuts to the rich, as we have seen under the | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Conservatives, and to the corporations and invest | :02:06. | :02:06. | |
One area that will receive some funding | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
19-year-olds come because the government wants to gear up Britain | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
for the skills the country will need in a post-Brexit world. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
But what if that world does not include the kind | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
of EU trade deal the Chancellor is expecting Britain to get? | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
If there is anybody in the European Union who | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
thinks that if we don't do a deal with the European Union, if we don't | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
continue to work closely together Britain will simply slink off | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
We have a great fighting spirit and will fight back. | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
This is a Budget that will be under scrutiny | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
seen through the prism of Brexit negotiations that lie ahead. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Government forces in Iraq have renewed their assault | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
against Islamic State extremists in western Mosul after a two-day | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
They are reported to be within a few hundred metres | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
of government buildings near the old city. | :03:12. | :03:12. | |
of people have fled fled the fighting in | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Many remain trapped within the city, others decided to flee. They arrive | :03:16. | :03:37. | |
in droves from western Mosul, one bus-load after another of civilians. | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
In just over two hours we saw more than five buses arriving here. Isis | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
were firing at us, most of the women died. We were all just running and | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
running, the mortars raining on our heads, until we got to the Army. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
Some were grateful for the help of the army but these men said their | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
homes were hit by army shelling. Almost everyone had to walk through | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
the battlefield before reaching safety and getting on one of these | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
buses. After a long and dangerous journey on foot and under fire from | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
all sides, the refugees from western Mosul arrived here in Hamam al-Alil. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
They have escaped with their lives but their misery is not yet over. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
With such an unrelenting flow, the authorities can hardly keep up. And | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
does this count reaches full capacity, the new arrivals get on | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
the bus again, headed on the next stop on the journey of displacement. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
An investigation has begun after a man's body was discovered | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
following a house fire in Hattersley in Greater Manchester. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
Officers were called following reports of a blaze at ten | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
The victim has not yet been formally identified. | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
The energy company SSE has apologised after some customers | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
were quoted tens of thousands of pounds for a day's | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
The error was caused by malfunctioning smart meters | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
hugely overestimating the amount of energy usage. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
The company has said an investigation is under way, | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
but that no customers will be charged for the erroneous amounts. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
China's economy is predicted to slow again this year, | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
according to the country's Premier Li Keqiang. | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
Speaking at the Annual National People's Congress in Beijing, | :05:32. | :05:47. | |
Mr Li attributed the slow down to increasing global protectionism. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Chairman Mao would still recognise China's parliament - | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
rigid, authoritarian and unapologetically Communist. | :05:53. | :05:53. | |
But every year the delegates turn up to hear their leaders warn | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
of the increasingly complex challenges faced by a modern | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
Potential risks cannot be overlooked, Li Keqiang said, | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
warning that reforming China's economy is a process filled | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
with promise but also accompanied by great pain. | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
He spoke of the need to combat industrial overcapacity | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
and to reform what he called zombie enterprises, the bloated state-owned | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
sector producing far more coal and steel than the market needs. | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
Similar pledges in the past have proved hard to fulfil. | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
And he pledged to make China's skies blue again, | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
outlining further targets for emissions cuts. | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
Once again, these promises have been made before. | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
China's parliament has very little control over | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
the weighty issues of state, the big political and economic | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
decisions that have been made weeks in advance by the communist party | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
Premier Li also warned against growing protectionism, | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
a thinly veiled reference to the policies of the new US | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
president perhaps, and a reminder that as well as the economic risks | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
at home, China is facing challenges on the international stage too. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
In boxing, Tony Bellew has upset the odds by beating David Haye | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
in their heavyweight fight at the O2 arena in London. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
Haye dominated the first five rounds, but suffered an ankle injury | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
in the sixth and retired in the eleventh. | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
A memorial is to be built in northern France to honour | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
the British soldiers and sailors who died during the D-Day landings | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
The Government has said it will contribute ?21 million | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
towards the building of the monument, which will | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
on which the landings took place, as Robert Hall reports. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
NEWSREEL: This is it. They are on the beach. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
It was the largest operation of its kind ever mounted. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
In June 1944, an estimated 21,000 members of the British Armed Forces | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
and Merchant Navy lost their lives as they fought alongside | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
their allies to gain a foothold in occupied Europe. | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
In the 70 years since the landings, veterans have returned | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
to the Normandy beaches to remember the fallen. | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
But there is no permanent memorial to the friends they lost. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Now veterans had been told the government will contribute | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
It will be erected in one of the French seaside towns that | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
On each beach, there was roughly 1,200 on each | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
plus God knows how many wounded, and seriously. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
So you can imagine the sights on those beaches. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
It was horrific. It was frightening. | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
But, at the same time, all we young lads of 18, | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
But, thank goodness, at last, there will be | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
Surviving veterans are delighted their campaign has been rewarded. | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
They and the government want the memorial to be completed in time | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
for the 75th anniversary of the landings, in June 2019. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |

Hello, we will do the afternoon and indeed the rest of the week for you | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
in just a second but first I want to remind you of the temperature | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
profile across the British Isles in February, this is a snapshot for the | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
whole of the winter. The temperatures for the most part were | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
in Ireland of the spectrum. We have switched out of winter into spring | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
