teaching Awards. And we talk about a new documentary | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
about Michael Jackson. David Cameron is promising to take | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
tough action against local authorities in England that fail to | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
deal swiftly with adoption cases. There are wide variations in how | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
quickly councils find placements for children in their care. The | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
Prime Minister says he will make it easier to adopt. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Students should only apply for places at university after they | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
have received their A-level results. That is a new proposal brought | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
forward by UCAS. The changes would mean that children take their A | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
levels earlier in the year, apply for university in summer and start | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
their courses in October. Nine people have been killed in | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
America and more than 3 million homes are without power after an | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
early snow storm. One power company in New Jersey says it could be | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
Wednesday and will supplies are restored. Passengers on a train in | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
Massachusetts were trapped for 13 hours. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
A committee of MPs has criticised the government for refusing to | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
reduce the number of ministers. There are currently 121 and many of | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
them are expected to be loyal to the government during voting in the | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
House of Commons. So I read tax against the | :01:28. | :01:37. | |
government and industry have reached disturbing levels. -- cyber | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
attacks. Tomorrow, the government is hosting a conference on the | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
issue. A BBC investigation has found that | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
hundreds of police officers accused of misconduct were able to leave | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
the police force rather than face a disciplinary investigation. | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
Panorama found that between 2008 and 2010, almost 500 offices in the | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
UK accused of misconduct were allowed to leave their jobs. | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
Qantas airline has its flights back in the air. It will take several | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
days before the backlog of stranded passengers can be cleared. Nearly | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
70,000 people were stranded around the world during a dispute between | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
:02:32. | :02:34. | ||
management and unions. And Tottenham did well yesterday, | :02:34. | :02:44. | |
:02:44. | :02:47. | ||
didn't they? Tottenham are up to fifth in the | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Premier League thanks to a 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers at White | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Hart Lane. Harry Redknapp's side were dominant in the first half and | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
deservedly took the lead in the 20th minute through Gareth Bale. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
They added a second just after the half hour as Rafael van de Vaart | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
found himself unmarked in the box and drove the ball past QPR keeper | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Paddy Kenny. Despite being on top, they struggled to add to that score | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
and with a little over an hour gone, Rangers' substitute Jay Bothroyd | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
headed in from a corner. But Bale was to have the last word. This | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
beautiful goal ensured Spurs extended their unbeaten run to | :03:19. | :03:29. | |
:03:29. | :03:32. | ||
seven games. We played a great football. We were a joy to watch. | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
We have got some smashing players, do you know what I mean? World | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Champion Sebastian Vettel claimed victory in the first ever Indian | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Grand Prix yesterday. That was his 11th victory leaving him just two | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
wins short of Michael Schumacher's record for most race wins in a | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
season. Before the race, the drivers observed a minute's silence | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
in memory of IndyCar's Dan Wheldon and MotoGP's Marco Simoncelli, who | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
both died recently in accidents. When the race got under way it was | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
business as usual from Vettel. He led the race from start to finish | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
with Britain's Jenson Button taking second place. But once again, there | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
was a coming together between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa - the | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
sixth time these two drivers have collided this season. Much to the | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
horror of the teams and a well- known dodgy Mr Bean, stewards | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
pinned the blame on the Brazilian for this latest incident. It has | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
led to much bad feeling between the two men, but Hamilton claims that | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
he at least has tried to extend the olive branch. I made an effort to | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
put my arm around him and say good luck for the race. But I tried to | :04:38. | :04:48. | |
overtake and come out of it and we collided. But again, I am really | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
sorry for my team. It looked as if he had played his | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
last game for Wales at the World Cup, but winger Shane Williams will | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
play once more in the famous red jersey before quitting the | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
international arena for good. A former World Player of the Year, | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Williams has played 86 times for Wales and is the country's record | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
try scorer. He has decided to make his swan song at the Millennium | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Stadium when Wales play Australia on December 3rd. The 34-year-old | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
will however continue to turn out for the Ospreys. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Sergio Garcia has returned to the world's top 20 with victory in the | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
Andalucia Masters at Valderrama. Garcia clinched the title by just a | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
single shot from his fellow Spaniard, Miguel Angel Jiminez. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
After a three-year drought, it was Garcia's second straight win on the | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
European Tour. And the Wimbledon Champion, Petra | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
Kvitova, has won the season ending WTA Championship title in Istanbul. | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
She defeated Viktoria Azarenka in three sets to claim her sixth title | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
of the year and move ahead of Maria Sharapova as world number two. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Imagine running for more than two hours only to find you have missed | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
out on the world record by just four seconds. That is what happened | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
to Kenya's Wilson Kipsang in the Frankfurt Marathon. The 29-year-old | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
defended his title in a time of two hours, three minutes and 42 seconds | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
to complete the second fastest marathon ever. But he said | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
afterwards that he was very happy with his time and that he would try | :06:08. | :06:18. | |
:06:18. | :06:18. | ||
again next year. I am sure that he said that through gritted teeth. | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
Four seconds! Lewis Hamilton says it wasn't his | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
fault this time. He has been blamed in the past. He and fully to last | :06:32. | :06:42. | |
:06:42. | :06:44. | ||
up often clash in the race's. Shall we just nail this one on the head? | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
Every year, we have the puppy debate. Men have a button hole and | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
that is why they left -- they have the poppy flowers on that site. But | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
women do not have buttonholes and every year, I seem to get it on the | :07:02. | :07:12. | |
:07:12. | :07:18. | ||
wrong side. Are there any more complaints? | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
(LAUGHS) Every year! A shake-up of the university | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
admissions system is being proposed. In the future, students will take | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
their A-level exams earlier in the year, apply for universities in | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
summer and start their courses in October. Thank you for joining us. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
What is wrong with the current system? I think that it is fair to | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
say that the UCAS system has been incredibly successful over 50 years. | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
But what we are beginning to see as the number of applicants increases | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
every year, there are some changes that suggest that we need to review | :08:07. | :08:15. | |
the system. Things like the fact that we place many people through | :08:15. | :08:25. | |
:08:25. | :08:26. | ||
the insurance system. Only 10% of our applicants predict their graves | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
correctly. -- their A-level results correctly. There have also been | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
changes in government policy and the economic climate also means | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
that we have to look for efficiencies. How would that | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
produce efficiencies if this system were to change? One of the things | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
we do at the moment is that we go through the process twice. People | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
apply with what they predict they will get and they get a provisional | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
offer. Then they do it again in the summertime when they get their real | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
results. If you take out the clearance system element of it...? | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
Just do it the once. Talk us through the timetable. How would it | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
work in the future? What we are trying to do is put forward what we | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
believe is a workable process for applying with test results. But | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
also one that minimises the change to schools and universities. We ask | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
that A-level exams are taken three weeks earlier than at present. That | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
is different from in Scotland and Northern Ireland, where that | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
happens at different times. We definitely want to hear from | :09:48. | :09:53. |
