departments in England as Government tries to cut delays for patients.

The money doesn't go with no strings attached. These hospitals that have

problems will have to put in place better systems. The move receives a

cautious welcome by doctors. Some say it is simply papering over the

cracks. We will look at what difference the money will wake. Also

the BBC News at One. An extra �500 million is to be spent on struggling

accident and emergency departments in England. The Government says the

money will be spent over the next two years. Doctors have welcomed the

announcement but say it is only a short-term solution. Our health

correspondent Dominic Hughes reports.

Last winter, NHS accident and emergency departments across the UK

came under intense pressure. Hospitals in England saw waiting

times increase as more patients came through the door and departments

struggled to recruit staff. That led to a series of dire warnings from

doctors, hospital managers and MPs, that emergency care was facing a

real crisis. Now the Prime Minister is offering help in the form of �500

million to avoid similar problems this winter. Alongside that money we

also need some changes in practice. We need to make sure there are more

consultants and senior doctors available in our A&E departments. We

need to make sure that GP surgeries work more closely with hospitals. We

need to make sure that the frail elderly are better cared for in our

communities rather than endlessly going in and out of accident and

emergency departments. We need to take those steps alongside the

resources that we are putting in. The extra money is specifically

targeting winter pressures. Trusts have to submit proposals to NHS

England. They could look at cutting a admissions and reducing the length

of stay in hospital. It is aimed at trusts macro that have had the worst

problems, the largest number of A&E patients and come up with the best

plan. Accident and emergency departments have seen more patients

walking through the door but at the same time there has been a problem

recruiting doctors and nurses to come and work in this intensely

pressurised speciality. Not all doctors are convinced that today's

money will make a real difference to the root causes of the problems.

problem is a lack of senior trained staff and I am not entirely sure

from this report that we are likely to figure an investment in a Andy

Department staff that will not solve the problem most departments have.

The organisation that represents NHS managers says there are deeper

underlying problems with the whole emergency care system. �500 million

over two years could represent a significant improvement for patients

but only if the money gets into the system early so we can get plans in

place to shore up the services in A&E and put new services in place to

keep people out of A&E. �500 million is the fraction of the �110 billion

budget of the NHS in England. The Government has announced a high

profile review of emergency care which will look at longer-term

solutions. Hospitals have only about a dozen weeks before winter

pressures are likely to build a game so time is short.

Our political correspondent Ross Hawkins is in Westminster. The

question remains, will this be more than a sticking plaster? Will it

solve these problems? As we heard that there is a real crunch in

accident and emergency earlier this year. Even ministers admitted there

was a problem there. Since then we have heard all sorts of stories

about what happens when the NHS goes wrong in England. We have had a

really vicious political debate at Westminster about who is to blame

for that. This government, the previous government, managers? Even

David Cameron admits this is only a short-term answer to some of those

problems. It will be down to Bruce Keogh to consider the longer term

but what ministers will hope is if there are problems in the coming

winter they will be able to remind us of this warm and sunny day in

August when they made that commitment to more money and they

will hope the money makes a difference to the practical problems

they may face in accident and emergency and also potentially the

political ones ministers might face when the weather turns bleaker and

the pressures are back in our hospitals.

The UK border staff in France are failing to take fingerprints of

thousands of illegal immigrants caught trying to enter Britain,

according to inspectors. It is thought the practice has been going

on for four years. Ministers have agreed to review the issue. Our home

affairs correspondent Alex Forsyth reports.

It is one way into the UK, stowaways crossed the Channel in the back of

lorries so they can claim asylum in Britain. UK border officials are

staging that key ports in France to try and stop them. Now it has

emerged they haven't been recording any details of those they intercept

before handing them over to the French police. I think it is

anomalous that when people are travelling to the UK legally, as you

or I would do, we are subject to 100% checking at the border, proper

checks, people know our identity. It seems anomalous that people who are

trying to arrive illegally released without any attempt being made to

find out who they are. It started in 2010, when officials at the ferry

port in Calais stopped taking fingerprints and photographs of

asylum seekers because there were not the facilities to process them.

15 months later staff at cocktail, through which all channel tunnel

traffic passes, followed suit. 8000 illegal immigrants were caught in

the 12 months to last August preventing them reaching the UK but

many of their details were not taken. The practice was revealed in

this report, the results of an inspection into border controls. The

Home Office says it is already addressing many of the

recommendations and will review its policy on finger printing but it has

been accused of trying to cover up failings by redacting some sections.

The idea that we are trying to hide something that should be in the

public domain I think is laughable. It is very clear the reductions were

done in a couple of areas because there were genuine issues of

national security and the Home Secretary was right to take those

decisions. The Immigration Minister said it was under the Labour

government fingerprinting ceased full stop in response, Labour said

this government has had three years to tackle problems at the ports. In

much of today's report to border officials are said to be working

well with their French and Belgian counterparts to stop illegal

immigration. The Governor of the Bank of England

Mark Carney says that banks risk becoming socially useless, in his

words, unless they change their culture and focus on the real

economy. Our chief economic correspondent Hugh Pym is here. What

exactly does he mean? This is day two of Mark Carney's first round of

media appearances, a lot of monetary policy and interest rates yesterday,

today, an interview which focused on banking. He was asked about banking

culture and he said the cultural issue is fundamentally important,

there has to be a change in the culture of these institutions and he

went to talk about the type of finance that talks to itself and

deals with each other and becomes socially useless. The background to

these comments this there has been a big debate in the city and the world

of finance about what banks should be doing post crisis, that people

feel the so-called socially useless bits, trading to make profits but

with no real value in the economy, should be drawn to an end and banks

should concentrate on so-called socially useful activities, in other

words lending mortar businesses, mortgages and so on that people

understand. This debate has been rumbling on for a while. Mark Carney

in his previous job at the bank of Canada addressed these issues but

the fact that early on in his time at the Bank of England he is already

saying this sort of thing and that there is work still to be done, in

other words the Bank of England regard this as a priority, is

extremely interesting and a message to the banks in the UK.

Two teenage British charity workers have been injured in an acid attack

on the Indian Ocean island of Zanzibar. The two girls both

reported to be 18 have been treated for burns. One of them was badly

injured. Police have appealed for help in identifying the attackers.

Alistair Leithead reports from Dar es Salaam.

A cowardly attack on two Young British charity volunteers. Burned

by acid as they sat outside a restaurant in Zanzibar. It happened

after dark, in Stone Town, the island's capital, in a place popular

term -- popular with tourists. Tens of thousands of Britons come here

every year. After first being treated on the island the British

Consulate flew the girls to Dar es Salaam for emergency treatment.

Katie G and Kirsty truck are both 18. They would two weeks into a

three-week trip working for the charity arc for Tanzania when they

were attacked. The girls are being treated here at the hospital in Dar

es Salaam. They have bad injuries. One girl has been burst -- burned in

the face and chest and another in the man's stomach but they are not

life-threatening and they are both said to be in good spirits.

to any religious differences and the search for the two attackers goes

Many of us have experienced the frustration of setting off on a

shopping trip only to find we have left our wallet or purse at home.

That will not matter if a new type of payment system takes off. You'll

use your first name, a photo of your face and your smartphone. Then you

make the transaction. Emma Simpson has given it a try.

You are on the high street enjoying a bit of shopping. You can pay by

cash or card and increasingly with one of these, a smart phone, tap and

pay. But here in Richmond on the outskirts of London you can now do

something else. You can use your phone and your face instead of your

wallet. This is one of the stores that accepts the PayPal system and

luckily for me it sells frozen yoghurt, so I am going to find it on

the app, there it is, now checking in, done that. Let's go and order.

Hello, can I have caramel with toppings. What toppings?

Strawberries and chocolate chip. There you go. You have checked in on

PayPal. I will charge you now. Thank you very much. Would you like a

receipt? That is all done. Enjoy it. We are a small business and the one

luxury we have being a small businesses we can provide a more

personal experience for the customer so just having a talking point is a

good way to interact with the customer further. We see their

profile picture on our screen, their first name, so we can talk to them.

PayPal reckons increasing numbers of us would like to leave our wallets

at home when we shop but is this new technology safe? The man behind the

plan thinks it is. The solution is backed up with the same security

that PayPal has today for our online purchases. If we do believe there is

suspicious activity happening on someone's mobile phone we would take

steps to ensure maybe we could prevent that from happening.

could this be the start of a payment revolution? The technology is only

available in a dozen locations in Richmond for now. PayPal's challenge

to get its button on thousands of other tales.

Withers is our personal, -- Finance correspondent Simon Gompertz. I

wonder how it will go down with people, it is not accessible to

everyone? No, you need a PayPal account. You have to have what we

call smartphone, a sophisticated phone that does a lot of things on

the Internet. Then you download what they call an app, a mini programme

onto your phone which is the PayPal app, so when you walk into the shop

the message to pay goes through the Internet to the shop but also has

the app, your picture pops up, they verify it and they put the payment

through. It depends on you having a decent phone connection, a mobile

phone connection in the shop, and it also depends on various other

things. I think security is one thing that people perhaps worry

about. It is a neat idea. There would have to be quite a big

conspiracy to get around it and you need to have a special number, a

BIM, to enter into the app to make it work in the first place.

Technology moves at such a pace, are other companies looking at this?

There are two big things happening, contactless payments with a card and

you will have seen that way you wave the card over a terminal in the shop

and that makes the payment. The other is everything moving to the

mobile phone and there are companies working on putting all your card

details on the phone so you will just waive the phone over the

terminal. That would be a big competitor for PayPal. Banks are

also working on giving us the ability to pay by text, so we sent a

text message to an individual festival but it will probably work

in shops eventually, you text them and that pays so PayPal will not

have the field for themselves. 1:15pm, our main story. An extra

Public commemorations are taking place in Burma to mark the 25th

anniversary of the uprising which led to their formation of the Pope

democracy -- pro-democracy movement. Aung San Suu Kyi, will give a

speech. Memories of a people's movement

captured in images that have never been publicly shown here before.

Many of those who have come to this gathering in Yangon took part in

those momentous events. Some took the photographs. It was a danger to

keep the films at the time. The atmosphere was great. There were

about 500,000 people and those who would lay it could not enter. They

were spreading a great moment, freedom. Months of sporadic protest

mushroomed on 8th August into a mass uprising against a despised

military Government. It was not just students. Burmese people from

all walks of life came out to demand democracy. But the military

responded as they had before with lethal force. Khin Than Aye has

come back to Sulay Pagoda in downtown Yangon. As a young medical

graduate she joined hundreds of thousands of demonstrators who

filled the streets. TRANSLATION: Everybody came out on the streets

because they hate to the Government and they wanted to show their

feelings. Nobody told them to join the strike, they came out on their

own. They did not even bring food for themselves, they were ready to

die for democracy. The dizzying pace of events here makes it hard

to judge how real the change is, but this first public commemoration

in Yangon of an uprising that traumatise the country and cemented

a long and brittle divide between the military and its opponents is

surely proof that Myanmar has moved on. Former dissidents have come

from all over the world for this event. Others have only recently

returned after decades in exile to help rehabilitate their country.

wanted to punish the military. When we realised, we started to call for

greater engagement and I am very happy to see our President going

around the world, shaking hands with the leaders of the world. We

are on the right track. Dr Win Zaw has come here for a different

reason, to see a dramatic photograph of himself 25 years ago

revolution, for democracy. This girl sacrificed herself, but at

least she is remembered. Many other people are not remembered. Seeing

these photographs on display here is a start in what is bound to be a

long and difficult task for Myanmar, addressing the paint in its past.

The population of the UK increased last year by more than any other

country in Europe. It grew by almost 420,000 to 63.7 million. It

is now the third largest EU nation behind Germany and France. Our home

editor is here. What has driven the growth? More births and deaths. We

are in the middle of a baby boom. We saw in the year to June last

year over 813,000 little babies popped out in Britain, the highest

number since 1972. Also people are living longer. One statistic is

that there are now more or, 26% more men over 75 in the UK than

there were only in 2001. The difference between births and

deaths, and the other is net migration. That is about 166,000 in

the year of June last year. That is what is pushing it up if you add

those together. The baby boom is also driven in a sense of bike

innovation because that is a bold and the number of women in the

population who are of child-bearing age, and women are having three

babies now which is much more commonplace and women are having

children into their thirties and forties. That means you have more

women having babies for longer pushing it up. The Prime Minister

is urging people to boycott websites that fail to tackle online

abuse following the suicide of a 14-year-old girl which was lent to

bullying on a social networking site. Hannah Smith had received

abusive posts on a website called Ask.fm before killing herself. The

Prime Minister is also looking at ways to help parents to deal with

bullying. If a website does not clean up their act, but then we as

members of the general public have to stop using these sites, boycott

them. We are also looking as a Government at how we can help

parents and children with the internet, with this whole issue of

the filters that are on when you sign a broadband account. You might

be able to stop access to certain sites. The Prime Minister on BBC

Breakfast. It is just over a week until the Premier League season

starts. This year there will be a defence, the news of new goal-line

technology. Cameras will be placed at each goal-line to ensure there

is no chance of any mistakes being made. How much will it change the

game? It is the big launch today of goal-

line technology for the Premier League and we are here at Arsenal's

stadium in north London to see it in action ahead of it being rolled

out. It has been controversial and the past and something that has

been delayed for 15 years. The world governing body were always

against it and thought football should remain officiated by humans.

But then that changed in the World Cup in 2010. Frank Lampard had a

goal disallowed and that changed people's thinking. What we are

seeing today is the Premier League roll it out the new technology and

it is the first leak in the world to adopt it. Referees will be

wearing this and it will flash up a goal within one second of a ball

crossing the line. Right now a ball has been scored and a goal has been

relayed to the referee. How does it happen? There are seven cameras at

either end of the picture, similar to what happens in tennis. Hawkeye

operates a similar system there. The difference is the speed with

which that decision is being relayed. It will add a bit of

theatre, a bit of drama into the game in the same way that you see

in cricket and tennis. Fans at home will be able to see graphic

representations of whether the ball has or has not crossed the line.

The referee and the fans will know instantly as well and the Premier

League are hoping it will inject a bit of drama into the game and make

it a bit special. The International Cricket Council

have confirmed hotspot technology will continue to be used in the

remaining Ashes Tests, despite complaints of its unreliability and

allegations denied by England that players have taken measures to

cheat the system. The 4th Test will get under way tomorrow at Chester-

le-Street. Cricket is a lot further down the

line than football with regards to technology. Sensationalist notions

that batsmen are using silicon take on their bats. There are plenty of

people in the game who feel that technology is making cricket more

complicated rather than simpler. You can see the pace of change in

the North East skive. This is how the Nissan car factory generates

some of its energy. But his old fashioned best when it comes to

cricket? There is a feeling that technology has gone too far.

the umpires make the decisions, that is what they train for and

they get paid well. It is not conclusive. This hot spot is not

picking balls that are not out and they are never quite sure. Unless

it works 100%, there is no room for it. Every move a player makes is

scrutinised by cameras. There is a thermal imaging if need be. Kevin

Pietersen has been forced that he did deny that he uses solar can

take. Suggestions of foul play it made on an Australian TV, ridiculed

by England. And people put tape around the bat to make the Bast

long as they can. The cricketing body wants to make sure that people

know that they know what they are doing. It is something they are

trying to iron out so it is not a talking point. It goes back to what

it says on the tin, trying to get more decisions right so those

decisions do not have a bigger impact on the game. Bats with Tate

have always been around in cricket, but there has never been an Ashes

Test in Durham. They would rather see runs and reviews. A bat is

something to use. The question is are the fast

bowlers quick and ready to go again? We finished the third Test

in Manchester on Monday. These days in cricket we are waiting for the

first rebuke. Andy Murray's victory at Wimbledon

has been commemorated in a series of new stamps. They show him

playing Novak Djokovic in the final before being presented with the

trophy. They are on sale from today and are available at 10,000 offices

across the UK. It makes you smile. Time for a look at the weather.

To a certain extent. There will be sunny spells today and for the next

few days, but there will be a few showers not too far away. It is not

sunny everywhere this afternoon. That is going to make for a grey

end to the day, certainly across Northern Ireland. Gradually it

clouds over in many Western areas. A few scattered showers elsewhere,

but for many it is going to be dry, bright and with some sunshine.

Brighter in North East Scotland compared to yesterday. Some

outbreaks of rain trickling in for the late afternoon and evening in

Northern Ireland. Evening showers scattered across England and Wales.

Sunny spells across East Anglia and the South East. A bit cooler

further west and the sunshine is turning rather hazy. A more cloud

comes in and outbreaks of rain working from west to east. Not

particularly heavy. A damp and cloudy night and a much milder

night. Recent nights have seen temperatures dipping down to single

digits. It will not be as Chile in the morning, but it will not be

sunny I bared. It should cheer up quite nicely in most places.

Possibly a few heavy showers in the South East. Elsewhere, many places

are dry. Temperatures in the high teens or low twenties. It should be

fired at Chester-le-Street. Not exactly a hot spot, but

temperatures getting into the high teens. The breeze picks up for the

weekend. There is a chance of showers. That is the theme over the

weekend, sunny spells and showers. Elsewhere it is generally dry. Not

quite as warm as it is at the moment. We need to watch this

little featured. It could bring more in the way of rain on Saturday

night and at first on Sunday in East Anglia and the South East. We

are left again with this sunny weather and showers. Go to the
