its Spending Review. �100 billion will be made available to modernise | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
UK infrastructure. Projects include homes, road repairs and improved | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
flood protection. With work not beginning until 2015, Labour says it | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
is too little too late. The package is aimed to boost new | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
sources of energy like shale gas. Reports suggesting that UK resources | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
could be greater than thought. We are looking at the Government's | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
spending plans, asking if the suls add up. Also: The mother of Stephen | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
Lawrence calls for a public inquiry in claims of a police smear | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
campaign, saying that the Home Secretary said that all options are | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
open. The fact that our family had to go | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
through another revelation, how many more are there? We have no idea. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
Unless we get to the bottom of this, unless we have a public inquiry that | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
tells us to go through the whole thing, we will never get to the | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
bottom of it. I'm at Wimbledon in the after math | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
of one of the biggest upsets at tennis. Where the ground staff are | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
standing by their slippery courts. A pay rise for the Queen. Receiving | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
nearly �38 million in the next financial year. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |

Welcome to the BBC News at One. A �100 billion investment in | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
infrastructure projects has been announced by the goth. The Chief | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander, said it was a plan to | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
build an infrastructure that Britain can be proud of. The money to be | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
spent on housebuilding, road maintenance and energy projects. The | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Government was giving the details of the Spending Review announced | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
yesterday. Labour dismissed the promises as hot air saying capital | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
spending would drop in 2015. We have this report. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Should people who have lost their job have to wait a week before they | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
can sign on for benefits? This was one of the Chancellor's big ideas | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
yesterday. Some say that they don't like it but Labour says it is worth | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
looking at. The job for the Chancellor is now selling his plan. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
He says that it is more than just cuts. | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
We are also repairing the roads as well as building new ones. We are | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
repairing the railways, laying down new railways. Doing what we need to | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
do if this country is serious about winning the global race. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
The Government does not have new money for the projects but spelled | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
out where the investments will go. Including improving this road, the A | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
14 between Huntingdon and Cambridge. Also announced was �500 million to | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
support investment in the Mersey gate Weybridge. A multibillion pound | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
guarantee for Hinkley Point in Somerset for a nuclear power station | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
and investment in superfast broadband to ensure it reaches 95% | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
of the population by 201. Investing in stronger communities, | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
infrastructure, new sources of energy, that is how to build a | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
stronger economy in a fairer society, enabling everyone to get on | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
in life. Long-term infrastructure projects | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
are seen as putting rocket boosters under the economy. The building | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
projects create jobs and at least in theory, creating a country where it | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
is easier to do business. But long-term projects like the | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
proposed High Speed Two between London and Yorkshire via Birmingham, | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
take a long time to build and can cost a lot more than expected. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Is it not the truth that there is no new money for infrastructure here? | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
That he is spinning a line rolling multiple years together to make it | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
sound like a big figure, re-heating old announcements, that should have | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
turned into action long ago. But ministers insist that the money, | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
including extending help with insurance premiums for those in | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
places prone to flooding will make a real difference. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Our Political Correspondent Norman Smith is in Westminster. Norman, | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
this is a wish list that depends on the election results in 2015, it is | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
all about politics? You could be forgiven for thinking that Christmas | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
comes early. Yesterday the spending squeeze, today a programme with mega | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
infrastructure projects announced for five years. 165,000 new able. | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
800 miles of railways. 1 million new school places and a �6 billion | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
pothole fund to mend the craters in your road, but no new money. What we | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
got were the of where money is pencilled in will be spent. So it is | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
if you like a big Government to-do list if I get a yellow post-it and | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
scribble in my DIY commitments for five months it looks impressive but | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
Mrs S may say that you always say that but when do you find time to do | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
half of the stuff, I don't think you have the money, but the ministers | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
say that they will begin many of the schools before the next election, | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
but there are bigger politics here that is this: They hope that their | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
post-it provides the reposte to the critics that say where is your plan | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
for growth? They say that the big infrastructure project, that is | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
their plan for growth. Thank you very much. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
One of the projects to receive investment is looking at sources of | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
energy, including shale gas A report has found that there could be twice | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
as much shale gas in the UK as previously thought with reserves in | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
the north of England. The gas can be extracted through the process of | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
fracking. Critics believe it can cause earthquakes and pollute water | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
supplies. The Government is to offer incentives to communities willing to | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
allow fracking in their area. We have this report from Lancashire. | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
Get ready for the rush for shale gas. For the first time we are told | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
there is more in Lancashire than ever thought before. Today, | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
Government scientists estimated that there is 1300 trillion cubic feet of | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
shale gas in the north of England. The industry saying up to 10% can be | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
used. Around 130 trillion cubic feet. The UK consumes 3 trillion a | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
year it could supply the country for decades, but fast-tracking is | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
controversial. Wells are drilled into the rock. Thousands of feet | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
under the ground. Then sand, water chemicals are forced in to release | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
the shale gas. Today, the Government promised cash and a slice of the | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
profits for the local communities. Here in Lancashire, some say it is | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
what the economy needs. Jobs, business supply chains, | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
training, attracting people to the area. Higher salaries, lifting the | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
area out of a low income bracket. But fracking has caused two earth | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
tremors in Lancashire. These say it is is a risk to the environment that | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
is not worth taking. To pay off the community would | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
alleviate our fears for health, safety, water pollution? All of the | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
concerns we have been addressing, that all would go away if they pay | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
us? That will divide the community. There may be trillions of cubic feet | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
of shale gas under the ground here in Lancashire but the industry is | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
not certain how much can be brought to the surface to power the country. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
That means that the industry cannot be certain of the impact it will | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
have on the economy. In America, a shale gas revolution | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
has led to jobs and cheaper energy bills. The Government s is that the | :08:35. | :08:44. | |
same could happen here. Well, Mr Moylan has been at a | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
briefing for -- at the Department of Energy and Climate Change. The hope | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
is that the shale gas is the new North Sea if you like? Yes, this is | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
for the north of England, there could be more across the UK. The | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Government wants to crack on with this. The Business Minister was here | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
this morning, saying that today is the day that Britain gets serious on | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
shale. So, there was news about tax | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
incentives to get people exploring. Cash for communities who put up with | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
fracking on the doorstep, but the big caveat, there may be a lot in | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
the ground but how much of that will come out. | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
You mentioned many years of this but Ofgem reporting that we could be a | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
few years away from black outs? the Ofgem have warned that we are | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
moing towards low margins in the power supply system. Saying that it | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
could fall to as low as 2%. That means that there is a chance of a | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
blackout from a one in 47 chance o a one in four chance. Today we learned | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
that National Grid, the National Grid in control of the power system | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
is to be given powers to step in to pay large users of energy to reduce | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
the demand, to get mothballed plants put online. The Government says that | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
the measures are normal, that it is what you expect. It is prudent, but | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
many say it is evidence that the new power plants are not being built. | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
The investors are not there. That the Government's energy policy is | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
failing. Thank you very much Doreen Lawrence, | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
the mother of Stephen Lawrence has called for a public inquiry into | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
claims that undercover police officers tried to find information | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
to discredit her family. She said after meeting the Home Secretary, | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
Theresa May, that the allegations made her sick to the stomach. The | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe, has expressed | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
confidence in two separate police enquiries underway. Mother, brother | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
and lawyer, living through yet another chapter in the long story of | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Stephen Lawrence. The Home Secretary told them this morning that two | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
enquiries are under way, one of which is police-led. Doreen Lawrence | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
says she does not trust the police. The fact that our family has had to | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
go through another revelation, how many are there? We have no idea. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Unless we get to the bottom of this, unless we have a public inquiry that | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
tells us, to go through the whole thing, we never will get to the | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
bottom of this. The Home Secretary has to consider | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
that. What the family hope is that she agreeable to holding the public | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
inquiry. Theresa May said she would find the best and quickest way to | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
get to the heart of the outstanding questions. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
The Metropolitan Police Commissioner, told members of the | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
London Assembly, that he was confident that the inquiry by an | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
external force, overseen by the Independent Police Complaints | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
Commission would do the job. He said this about the public enquire yiz. | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
They are long. -- public enquiries. They are not long. Public inquiries | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
don't vet individuals or organisations to the point of | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
misconduct that is always handled by someone else. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Providing intelligence to tackle this sort of protest has been the | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
job of the national and domestic extremism unit but it no longer | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
sends officers under cover. That is now the job of the kriment command. | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
A police inspectorate has published a review. The report says that there | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
is no clear definition of what counts as domestic extremism, no | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
strengthening of the system for approving undercover operations and | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
a recommendation that psychologists be brought in when an officer leaves | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
the undercover life has not been implemented, but the calls for an | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
inquiry into this are growing. Perhaps even the second to be held | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
in the name of this young man. President Jacob Zuma has been | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
visiting Nelson Mandela in hospital after cancelling his planned trip | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
abroad. Earlier, the South African Government said that the condition | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
of the former President had . Nelson Mandela's family have been at the | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
hospital in Pretoria. Our African correspondent and roux harding is | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
there for us now. Busy scenes here. Big crowds coming | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
to show their respect for Nelson Mandela. Inside, a frail | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
94-year-old, Nelson Mandela is in a critical condition. He has been | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
visited by President Jacob Zuma and by close members of his family. | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
MacPherson Inquiry said that his health does not look gook. | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
We have also seen -- Nelson Mandela's daughter said it does not | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
look good. We have also seen his granddaughter coming out to give a | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
message to the public. We thank all for giving us their | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
support. For praying with us. We are anxious as we, you know that he is | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
critical but he is in a state of stability right now. | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
All of this happening when Barack Obama has arrived in Africa. He is | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
in West Africa at the moment. He is due here tomorrow evening to spend a | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
couple of days in South Africa. He is not expected to see Nelson | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
Mandela. Speaking in Senegal, President Obama spoke of the legacy | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
that Nelson Mandela would leave behind. He called him a hero to the | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
entire world. Andrew, thank you very much. | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
Spanish police are investigating the deaths of a family. A British man | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
and two Irish women on the Costa del Sol. The bodies were found yesterday | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
in Mijas. The couping and their daughter, all died of gunshot | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
wounds. The police believe it could have been a murder-suicide. There | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
are reports of a note being left at the home. | :14:51. | :14:59. | |
In a quiet popular spot for British tourists and ex-patriots, what looks | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
like a tragedy at this villa. A shopping trolley is abandoned by the | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
front door. The bodies of a man, his wife and her daughter were | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
discovered inside. The Spanish police are investigating | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
but they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
In an affluent neighbourhood, people here say that they heard more than | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
one gunshot several days ago. Pauline and Kevin have had a house | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
here in this resort for eight years. We heard two booms over the weekend. | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
They were really loud banks. Not cracks, more booms like a bomb going | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
off, really. Very, very quiet. Never saw the wife at all. Only | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
occasionally saw the man and the daughter in the garden, but they | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
kept themselves to themselves. The Foreign Office described what | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
happened here as a tragic event. It is providing assistance to the | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
Spanish authorities and to the friends and families of those | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
involved. The two women who died were Irish. Reported to be | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
28-year-old Sophie Wood and her mother, Sheila. Philip Wood was | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
British. Neighbours have said that the family had financial problems. | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
The owner of the villa had not been paying the rent for some time. | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
Reports say that the man's wife had recent health problems, that her | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
daughter was mentally disabled. The authorities are carrying out a | :16:30. | :16:38. | |
postmortem to establish how the three people died. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |

recession in the first quarter of Let's remind ourselves of what | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
those figures were or what it seemed they were like at that time, | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
and what it suggested was that there was growth in 2011, the third | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
quarter, then activity started falling back for three consecutive | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
quarters before bouncing back, but this is the way it now looks as a | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
result of latest revisions, and you can see that actually that negative | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
quarter of 2012 has been revised away, so it was flat, so there are | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
no two consecutive quarters of falling out, so therefore | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
technically no recession at that time. | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
Yet that first recession was deeper than anybody thought. Yes, indeed. | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
We've got more data on how that original recession of 2008-09 | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
lookened. It shows from peak to trough, in other words, the full | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
scale of the downturn before recovery began was a figure of 7.2%, | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
a fall. We had thought it was a slightly smaller fall, a fall of | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
6.3%, so the original recession, worse than we thought, but no | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
technical double-dip. Thank you very much. | :18:15. | :18:20. | |

and we speak to the musician Omar After a controversial day at | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Wimbledon yesterday, organisers will be hoping attention will turn | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
towards those still in the tournament today. Two of the top- | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
seeded players were among seven forced to pull out in what was the | :19:11. | :19:19. | |
most injure-hit second round in the competition's history. On court, | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
defending champion Roger Federer suffered his earliest exit at | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
Wimbledon since 2002, going out in four sets to world number 116 | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Sergiy Stakhovsky. Tournament favourite Novak Djokovic will play | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
his second round match this afternoon. Women's number one | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
Serena Williams has just started her game on court one. And the last | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
British woman left in the singles competition Laura Robson will be in | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
action on court number two. Katherine Downes is at Wimbledon | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
for us now. Over to you. | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
Well, Simon, ask Andy Murray about his prospects for Wimbledon, as we | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
often, do and he always tells you there's no such thing as an easy | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
match here. Look what happened to Roger Federer yesterday, proof that | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
in today's game if an outsider can find his form, they're all capable | :20:02. | :20:12. | |
:20:12. | :20:15. | ||
Federer was dumped out of Wimbledon. What an end to the day here at | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
Wimbledon! The defending champion was outwitted in four tight sets by | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
the Serban volley of world number 116 Sergiy Stakhovsky. Just got to | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
get over this one, you know. Sometimes I haven't heard this much | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
- that's for sure. I can tell my grandson I kicked the butt of Roger | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
Federer. LAUGHTER | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
But Federer wasn't the only star to fall - a constellation had tumbled | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
before him. Seven players withdrew injured, among them Jo-Wilfried | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
:20:58. | :21:02. | ||
Tsonga. And Caroline Wozniacki. And former | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
champion Maria Sharapova slipped up and went out. This morning, mowing | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
and mopping continued as usual amid criticism from some players that | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
the surface this year is dangerous. We're a hundred percent, you know, | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
happy with what we've produced, and, you know, myself and the team - we | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
are fully backing our playing surfaces. If Laura Robson can keep | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
her footing later, she stands a good chance of reaching a third | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
round for the first time, while with Nadal, Federer and Tsonga now | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
out, there's less to trip this man on his way to the final. But, as | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
Andy Murray says, there is always one match at a time. One man who | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
knows all about that is Tim Henman. Thank you very much for joining us | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
this lunch time. The rest of us can dare to dream for Andy Murray, | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
can't we? It's easy where we sit to see how the draw could unfold, but | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
you have to look at what's happened in the last few days, incredible | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
upsets, and Andy has to make sure he doesn't become one of those | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
upsets, and he's done a great job so far. We were hearing about the | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
slippery court. It's caused controversy over the past couple of | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
days. Wimbledon said they have prepared them as normal, but they | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
have been causing trouble. I think the first three or four days of any | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
grass court tournament when they're new courts, they're always going to | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
be a bit slippery. They have been that way over the last ten, 15,20 | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
years. When you look at the data I have seen - the firmness. Court and | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
length of the grass is exactly as I have seen for the past seven or | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
eight years. If the players are slipping a built more, you can't | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
deny that but from the club's point of view and the groundsmen's point | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
of view, they're exactly the same. Tim, thank you very much for | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
sharing your thoughts with us. We'll see how Laura Robson fared. | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
She's out on court number two later this afternoon. That's one of the | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
courts that caused a lot of problems with slippage yesterday. | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
She's last up bidding to join Andy Murray in the third round. | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
Thank you very much. A man has been jailed for eight | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
months after he was caught playing rugby, while making an insurance | :23:08. | :23:17. | |
claim for wrist injuries of more David Ribchester, who is 31, | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
claimed to have been injured in a work accident in 2006. He pleaded | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
guilty to fraud by false representation. Emily Unia is at | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
the Old Bailey for us now. Absolutely. David Ribchester said | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
in his compensation claim that the injuries he sustained to his wrists | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
meant he couldn't do basic tasks such as drive his car, pick up his | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
young daughter or even play rugby, but the insurance company got | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
suspicious and put surveillance on him. Today they released film | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
footage. It shows him back in 2009 playing rugby in a local park. He | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
passes and throws the ball. He's seen in a half tackle, clearly | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
contradicting the claims he made about injuries to his wrists when | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
he pleaded guilty to fraud in May. He was sentenced to eight months in | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
prison. The judge told Ribchester, "It is greed that brought you to | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
this, and unfortunately there is a lot of greed out there." In | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
explaining giving a custodial sentence, the judge said, "Anyone | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
who is tempted to pave in a dishonest way in the way you did by | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
attempting to exploit a system which exists to compensate the | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
genuinely injured will end up going to prison." Thank you very much. | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
Payday lenders are to be investigated by the Competition | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
Commission. The watchdog, the Office for Fair Trading, referred | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
the lenders after they found evidence of "widespread | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
irresponsible lending". The industry is worth �2 billion a year. | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
Our correspondent Simon Gompertz has more. En the Office for Fair | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
Trading has decided that hard-up couples like Mark and Sheila from | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
Huddersfield are sitting ducks for these lenders, so desperate for | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
funds they'll borrow even if the interest is thousands of per cent. | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
Mark has been unemployed for two- and-a-half years, yet they have | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
been able to borrow �3,000. He says lenders should make more checks | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
before offering cash. When you're struggling to put a meal on the | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
table, and somebody sends you a text saying they have �300 waiting | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
for you, can be in your account in are 15 minutes, it's difficult to | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
say no. Payday lenders have mushroomed. The OFT has accused | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
them of irresponsible widespread lending, failing to check whether | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
people can afford to borrow and causing misery and hardship by | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
tempting them with easy money. all about speed, and far too many | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
lenders do not do the affordability checks the OFT requires of them, so | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
they're making loans to people who cannot afford to repay them. | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
Competition is a problem in the industry because the cost of the | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
loans has spiralled out of control, and firms which follow the rulings | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
can't compete with the rogue operators. That's why payday | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
lenders are being referred to the coveragetition commission. The | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
biggest players have signed up to voluntary codes of practise | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
designed to prevent irresponsible lending. There is no reputable | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
lender that's lending to somebody who can't afford to pay back. It's | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
not good business sense, and it's not good for consumers. We have | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
capped the number of times that you can extend the loan. We freeze fees | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
and interest when we find people have got into hardship as a result | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
of taking out a loan, and we act responsibly. But the Competition | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
Commission when it's investigated high-cost loans has the power to | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
impose new rules and reshape the entire ministry. Ministers have | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
called a summit of key players next week to see what more can be done. | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
The Queen is getting a 5% pay rise. Her income will rise to nearly �38 | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
million next year. Her finances are to be reorganised, and today's | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
figures also reveal that an extra million pounds was allocated to | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
cover the Diamond Jubilee last year. Our royal correspondent Nicholas | :26:56. | :27:04. | |
Witchell is at Buckingham Palace for us now. A lot of figures. Talk | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
us through them. This is the money that the Queen receives to fund her | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
role as head of state and monarch. It used to be called the Civil List, | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
of course, it's now called the Sovereign Grant, calculated on the | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
basis it's 15% of the surplus of the crown estates which owns land | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
in London and elsewhere in the country. It started in spring of | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
last year when the Sovereign Grant to Buckingham Palace was �3 million, | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
expenditure last year, of course, busy with the Jubilee was 33 | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
million. This year it has gone up to �36 million. In the next | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
financial million, it will be �38 million, so significant increases. | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
Now, Republic, the anti-monarchist group, has said the Queen should | :27:48. | :27:54. | |
give this money back. They say it's unbelievable at a time of austerity | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
the head of state should receive such increases. Buckingham Palace | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
says there is no question of relinquishing any part of this. | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
They it's essentially to put this money towards the massive backlog, | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
as they put it, of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
elsewhere. One other building- related the tail from today's | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
figures - it's so far cost more than �1 million on the | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
refurbishment of that part of Kensington Palace which William and | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are hoping to move into, | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
with, of course, their baby in the autumn. | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
Thank you very much. Tourists have been enjoying warm | :28:32. | :28:40. | |
That is now being interrupted by some rain, which is pushing its way | :28:40. | :28:48. | |
in from the north and west. You can see it on the radar. We have had | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
heavy rain in Northern Ireland, Southern Scotland. We're going to | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
have a lot of cloud left behind across Northern Ireland and the | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
west of Scotland, mist, murk and drizzle. It will start to feel mug | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
gaind humid here. For the north- east of Scotland, a lovely day with | :29:03. | :29:06. | |
plenty of sunshine. For north-west England we see rain. The rain | :29:06. | :29:11. | |
arriving across Wales, the Midlands and south-west England, so a dose | :29:11. | :29:15. | |
of rain for Glastonbury a few hours this afternoon and evening. Towards | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
south-east evening, we're holding on to a lot of dry weather through | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
the afternoon. Easily temperatures into the high teens, some spots the | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
low 20s. We will get a fair amount of play at Wimbledon this afternoon, | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
but during this evening, there is the increasing chance of some | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
sporadic outbreaks of rain turning up as our area of welt weather | :29:34. | :29:38. | |
continues to work its way further south-east. Behind that, some very | :29:38. | :29:43. | |
humid, muggy air working its way in on a lot of murk, cloud and drizzle, | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
particularly over the hills. More persistent rain in the north | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
through the night. Temperatures no more than 9-14 Celsius most places | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
that humid air is going to be a feature of our weather tomorrow, | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
pumping its way in from the Atlantic around the north of an | :29:58. | :30:01. | |
area of high pressure. Also toppling around this high we have a | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
series of weather fronts, and these are going to provide some outbreaks | :30:05. | :30:12. | |
of rain through tomorrow. A band of heavy rain working its way to | :30:12. | :30:17. | |
eastern areas. A band of patchy rain working southwards. Things | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
will eventually brighten for Scotland and Northern Ireland. To | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
the south, that humid air holds on. Anywhere we get a bit of shelter | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
and sunshine, temperatures getting higher than we may suggest, maybe | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
the low 20s. Then we get to the weekend. Warm, humid werplt will be | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
a feature for many of us, some sunny spells, but in northern parts | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
always the threat of rain at times, particularly the further north and | :30:41. | :30:46. | |
west you are - Glasgow and Enniskillen, outbreaks of rain at | :30:46. | :30:56. | |
:30:56. | :30:57. | ||
times. Glasgow staying dry. After a little bit of rain taped and | :30:57. | :31:03. | |
tomorrow, the fels value should be largely dry. If you're off to | :31:03. | :31:08. |
