Almost 30 million people are now in work is the latest figures show | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
another fall in unemployment. The number of people claiming jobless | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
benefits dropped at its fastest rate for 16 years but figures sparked a | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
row in the Commons. One of the remarkable things about | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
these figures is that a show for the first time there 1 million more | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
people in work than there were when this government came to office. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
There is a cost of living crisis and one reason is rising energy bills | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
which one leading charity reports today is one of the things driving | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
people to food banks. The latest from Westminster. Also | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
this lunchtime, it David Cameron says his former Chief Whip Andrew | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
Mitchell is owed an apology over the plebgate row. Claims in reading | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
psychiatrist -- crisis claims a reading psychiatrist, as the number | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
of available hospital beds in England shrinks. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
A dramatic rise in the number of people using food banks. A charity | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
says more than 350,000 people got help this summer. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
And dragged up from the bottom of a lake in Russia, the half-a-tonne | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
meteor that fell to Earth. In London. A stark warning that | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
thousands of young girls are at risk of being sexually exploited by | :01:21. | :01:21. | |
London gangs. And after a freight train derailment | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
on Monday, works gets under way to get things moving again around | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
Camden. Good afternoon. The number of people | :01:27. | :01:53. | |
claiming unemployment benefit fell at its fastest rate since 1997, | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
according to the latest unemployment figures. The jobless total fell | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
again over the summer by 18,000 and now stands at 2.49 million. But | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
there was more evidence of the squeeze on people's wages. The | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
latest figures sparked a row in the Commons this lunchtime. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
The economy is moving up through the gears, new jobs are being created | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
and that has brought down the unemployment total again, but pay | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
rises liking behind inflation. That fuelled the clashes today at Prime | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Minister 's Pashtuns. These are welcome figures. -- | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
questions. We all want to see living standards improve and disposable | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
income increased but the way to deliver is to grow the economy, keep | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
producing jobs and cut taxes. There are almost 1 million young | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
people out of work and record numbers of people working part-time | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
who cannot find full-time work, that is no cause for complacency! | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
Breaking down the figures shows the claimant count fell by 41,000 in | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
September to the lowest in more than four macro years. Long-term | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
unemployment over three years -3 months was down 15,000, but youth | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
unemployment was little changed at nearly 960,000. The economy is | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
growing but youth unemployment remains a problem. In East London, a | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
short distance from the city, there are jobs on offer but junk people | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
often struggle to get a break. Maybe your biggest assumptions... | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
This training course run by a charity prepares young people for | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
the world of work, including starting a business. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Guidance on and play -- guidance on applying for jobs is also a | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
priority. The travel connections here are brilliant but I do not go | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
into Central London subpart of what we do is to build their confidence | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
so they feel they can apply for jobs in Central London, where they feel a | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
bit intimidated at times. Shannon, 19, has been searching for full-time | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
work since leaving school at 16. It has been hard, you get somewhere and | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
think, another interview, and you go for the training and the interview | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
and they just say, no. While some are struggling to find work, some | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
employers cannot fill vacancies. The market is improving, but there is | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
still a way to go before it is back to normal. The latest now from | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Westminster. Once again, the cost of living has | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
dominated the Commons this lunchtime. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
People could be forgiven for rubbing their eyes a bit. It was a repeat of | :04:44. | :04:53. | |
last week, dominated by the cost of living, and David Cameron had better | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
economic news last week and the revised growth forecast, but he was | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
still dragged to this debate about living standards. He arrives with | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
even better economic news today, the number of people in work is that the | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
greatest level since records began, but he again got sucked into this | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
debate about the cost of living. You sense a disjuncture between the | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
economic debate and political debate, with the economic facts and | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
figures moving in the direction of the government. But the cut and | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
thrust over the cost of living is more problematic. And not just | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
because it has given Ed Miliband a useful rallying cry to get momentum. | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
More because I suspect there is a fear in government circles that | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
people have maybe banked economic recovery. They almost accept it is | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
taking place. So when the government comes out with better figures, they | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
almost discount them and say, yes, what are you going to do about my | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
household budget and wages? The prime Minster says his former | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell is owed an apology after he called the | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
unacceptable behaviour of police officers in the so-called white gate | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
row. The chief constables of three forces in the Midlands have defended | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
their decision not to begin disciplinary action against three | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
officers who allegedly gave an inaccurate account of the | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
confrontation in Downing Street which led to the resignation of Mr | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
Mitchell. It is a scandal that began with a little-known government | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Minister Andrew Mitchell, a disagreement with police over him | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
riding his bike through the gates of Downing Street, a claim he insulted | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
officers by calling them plebs. And a counterclaim the police made | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
it up. But the latest twist centres on a different group, these men were | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
accused of giving a false account of another meeting which Mr Mitchell | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
recorded in his constituency office. Yesterday, the Independent Police | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Complaints Commission stepped in. They said the officers and that -- | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
they said their bosses should have made them face disciplinary | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
proceedings, that has prompted for the creation -- that has prompted | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
calls for the creation of an ombudsman. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
It is independent of the police. In the case under scrutiny, we scurried | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
out the investigation under supervision. The Independent Police | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
Complaints Commission chose not to take it on in its entirety. This | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
morning came confirmation the main players in this increasingly | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
poisonous row would be speaking to MPs on the Home Affairs Committee. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
The Prime Minister said police behaviour was unacceptable. This | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
meeting was recorded so he has proved what he said was true and | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
what the police officer said was untrue. The police trade union is | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
furious. Some members have been under criminal investigation over | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
the original Downing Street indecent -- incident. Macro to publicly | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
questioning the integrity of other members have angered it further. The | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
chairman of the Police Federation Steve Williams has written to the | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Home Secretary saying... We need a strong the Independent | :08:13. | :08:29. | |
Police Complaints Commission that acts correctly. I want that, a lot | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
of the budget will be transferred to them next year probably, and they | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
need to play by the rules. They cannot behave arbitrarily and I | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
think they have in this case. The investigation into the Downing | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
Street incident is complete and awaiting a decision by the Crown | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
Prosecution Service as to whether officers will be charged. This has | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
long ceased to be a row about who said what that these gates, it is | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
also about public confidence in the police. | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
The independent oversight of complaints against them and | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
relations between the police and government. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
Mental health services in England are in crisis and unsafe, according | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
to one of the country's leading psychiatrists. An investigation by | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
the BBC has found that more than 1,700 hospital beds for people with | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
mental health problems have been closed over the last two-and-a-half | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
years. It means many people are having to travel hundreds of miles | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
to get treatment. Our social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan, | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
reports. Lucy Bowden has a history of self | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
harm. After one incident last year, she knew she was still not well and | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
looked for voluntary help. She was told no beds were available, so | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
eventually police were called, who were forced to detain her to get her | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
appropriate help. Several hours of police time that could have a better | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
spent. And if I had known where to go for help, I would have even less | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
distressed probably and got home and got back to work quicker. | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
Pressure on beds has been revealed through Freedom of Information | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
requests. Between April last year and August this year, more than 1700 | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
ads have been closed, 9% of the total. Occupancy levels on acute and | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
psychiatric wards are linked at 100%. This senior psychiatrist says | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
problems are cute. -- acute. We are in a real Isis, it | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
is very pressured and we spend a lot of time struggling to find beds. -- | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
crisis. Sending people across the country, which is not what I want. | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
That is only part of the problem, doctors say there is an increased | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
demand for mental health services. The two things together, you end up | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
with more patients saying they are not getting the help they need. When | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
Kerry felt though, the only available bed was miles away, | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
delaying her recovery. They did not know anything about who | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
I was or what was available to support me in the community so I was | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
held there for longer than I needed to be. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Ministers admit mental health services in England are simply not | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
good enough. We have access standards, an 18 week | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
limit for physical health ponds but they left out mental health and we | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
need to correct so people with mental health are treated with the | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
same seriousness -- physical health Robins. This picture is | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
distressing, raising serious questions over the ability of the | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
NHS to cope. Surrey Police say they were told no | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
further action would be taken by the Crown Prosecution Service following | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
their interview with Jimmy Savile in 2009. The statement follows after | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
the interview was made public yesterday. Detectives interviewed | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
the former presenter at Stoke Mandeville Hospital where he was | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
given an office and where he was thought to have carried out a number | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
of assaults. So this interview has raised questions and this is the | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
defence of Surrey Police over why nothing more was done. | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
We knew a lot of the facts about this investigation because they had | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
carried out an enquiry into their own investigation, but the | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
transcripts give us the tone of the interview in that room in October | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
2009. Surrey Police say, we did not know | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
the full facts then, they had not been told there had been previous | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
allegations made to police in the 1980s and 2003. They said he had not | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
given the full facts, and they had been advertised by the Crown | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
Prosecution Service merely to tell Jimmy Savile about the allegations | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
and go no further. They said doing the interview was going one step | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
further. It raises questions about the tone, given what we know now. A | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
second area is also the words coming out about West Yorkshire, how Jimmy | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
Savile had a group of police officers he was hand letters to and | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
-- when allegations were made. There has been an investigation into that | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
and last week, there was an investigation into the investigation | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
of that and the Chief Constable of Avon Somerset Police said there | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
was no evidence he was protected from arrest and prosecution, but he | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
did feel there was a bomb, the look and feel of their report did not | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
look independent -- it problem. The top story, the number of people | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
signing unemployment benefit has fallen at its fastest rate since | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
1997. Still to come, the road to Rio, but | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
how much will it cost England fans to get to the World Cup in Brazil | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
next year? Later in London, a dog 's dinner, | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
the assessment by MPs who say the London Assembly needs more teeth to | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
scrutinise the London mayor. The boy racers who are young, why is | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
South London school is giving 13-year-old striking lessons. | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
-13-year-olds driving lessons. These are the faces of six British | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
soldiers killed in the single deadliest attack by the Taliban | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
since operations began in Afghanistan in 2001. They died when | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
a massive roadside bomb destroyed their armoured vehicle in | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
Afghanistan last year, the vehicle was considered one of the safest in | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
use. The inquest into their deaths opened this morning. From Oxford, | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
this report. The tragic homecoming in a conflict which claimed so many | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
British lives. But the number of soldiers lost in | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
this single incident shocked senior officers, regiments and families. | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
From the Yorkshire Regiment, Corporal Hartley, private Frampton, | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
Private Christopher Kershaw, Private Daniel Wade and Private Daniel | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
Wilford. From the Duke of Lancaster Regiment... All of them were in line | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
has -- in Afghanistan for less than a month. Their families gathered in | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
Oxford today to hear details of the incident which claimed the lives | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
during a routine security patrol in a Warrior armoured vehicle. | :15:26. | :15:38. | |
Evidence from the pathologist indicated that the severity of the | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
blast would instantly have killed the soldiers or rendered them | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
unconscious. The inquest heard evidence from the crew of a second | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
warrior on the scene, who said the patrol had been delayed by a | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
sandstorm. It recalled a fireball that followed the explosion. They | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
had attempted to reach the crew but were beaten back by the intensity of | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
the flames. The attack happened before the warrior trapped vehicles | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
were upgraded. Following his attack, the MoD said the Warrior provided | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
the best protection available. No armoured vehicle could provide | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
absolute protection from the biggest explosions. The inquest continues | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
this afternoon. The Supreme Court has dismissed | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
appeals from two prisoners who were demanding the right to vote under | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
European Union rules. The convicted murderers were arguing that the EU | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
law gave them a right to vote even though they cannot, under British | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
law. The Prime Minister said today but my position is a great victory | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
for common sense. If you are detained at her Majesty | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
's pleasure, you can't vote. That is British law. But eight years ago | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
Britain was told its law breached human rights. That meant the | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
government had to begin the process of changing the law. Today's case | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
was brought by two lifers. They wanted the Supreme Court, in effect, | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
to put extra pressure on the government to introduce prisoner | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
voting by arguing the ban breached European law as well as the European | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
Convention on Human Rights. But it declined. It left the matter to MPs | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
to decide. The matter is curry under review in | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
Parliament. There's no point making a further declaration of | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
incompatibility. Britain's Bain -- ban remains | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
incompatible with the human rights Convention. There is a bill that | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
some prisoners may be allowed to vote with. But the government is in | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
no hurry. They have been noncompliant since 2005. If we get | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
to 2015, it will be ten years of breaking the law. It is nothing to | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
be proud of. Having been a prisoner, I know it is the least important | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
issue to them, ordinary guys on the wing. I would think prisoner voting | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
rights have the significance of tiddlywinks. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
It is not tiddlywinks in the great debate about the powers of British | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
voters. This issue is going to take some sorting out. | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
America is on the brink of running out of money to pay its bills. The | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
Republicans and Democrats in Washington have until tomorrow to | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
come up with a deal to stop the UST faulting on its debt repayments. The | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
American business magnate, Warren Buffett, says the threat of not | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
raising the debt ceiling is a political weapon of mass | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
destruction. The US government remains in a partial shutdown | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
because of a row over President Obama's health care law. Let's speak | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
to our correspondent in Washington. Strong words there. But they are | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
running out of time, aren't they? For the past two Wicks, politicians | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
here have been unable to agree on a budget deal which has left the | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
government partially close. Now a more pressing deadline is | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
around the corner. If politicians can't agree on how to raise the | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
borrowing limit, the country risks going into default and could | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
struggle to pay many of its bills. The US Treasury Secretary has warned | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
of dire consequences, saying that credit markets could freeze, | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
interest rates could rise and the value of the dollar could plummet. | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
There are fears America could even go into recession at a time when it | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
is just turning a corner. One top credit rating agency has also warned | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
that they could download at -- downgrade America's rating because | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
of this uncertainty. The bottom line is politicians need to agree on a | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
deal. Negotiations are continuing in Washington today. The clock really | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
is ticking. They need to make an agreement by midnight tonight here | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
in Washington. That is only a matter of hours. Talks are continuing in | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
Geneva between Iran and leading world powers over its nuclear | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
ambitions. There are reports Iran could allow I to its research | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
facilities in an effort to end international concern that it is | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
trying to develop nuclear weapons. James Reynolds is in Geneva for us. | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
It seems they are making some progress? The mood music sounds | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
good. But we don't know what is on the table. | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
There have been reports this morning and yesterday that Iran might at | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
some stage it agree to more intrusive inspections of its nuclear | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
site in order to reassure the West and the outside world that it is not | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
having any intention to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has said that | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
those inspections could essentially come only at the end of a | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
negotiating process, not at the beginning. In the buildings behind | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
me, I think there will be some arguments about the timing of what | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
Iran should do and what the West wants Iran to do. Iran has come here | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
with a new government and an intention to reach out to the | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
outside world and get sanctions lifted. We don't expect a final | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
agreement today, but perhaps some kind of statement or structure. The | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
water regulator says it plans to lock Thames water's request to | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
increase customer bills by up to 8% next year. | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
Thames Water wanted to add an act ?29 to the average bill. | :21:53. | :22:01. | |
There has been a dramatic rise in the number of people using | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
foodbanks, according to a charity. The Trussell Trust says it has seen | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
a threefold increase in the number of people and for emergency | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
supplies, situation it called scandalous. The government says the | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
increase could be because there are now more foodbanks and Jobcentre | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
staff are now allowed to direct claimants to them. If you are hungry | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
and can't afford to eat, in Manchester, this is the place to | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
come to. The foodbank here is busier than | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
ever before. One today's customers is Kelly Taylor. She is training to | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
be a hairdresser. She says her benefits don't cover rising food | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
bills, prices, and that means she goes hungry. I have got a lot of | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
anxiety. It is just the world nowadays, it has changed. Everything | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
is higher in price. It feels like we are scroungers, but we are not. We | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
are just trying to survive. More and more people are receiving help. | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
Today, one foodbank charity said that in six months it had given out | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
nearly 356,000 food parcels. That is three times the number is fed from | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
April to September last year. 120,000 of those getting help our | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
children. It is exceedingly busy. In the last year, it has really | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
increased, the amount of people coming to our centre. A lot of it is | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
with the government changes. There are foodbanks in many towns and | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
cities. Around three are opening every week in the UK. What is behind | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
this growing demand? Is it because people are struggling in a difficult | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
economy? Or is it down to something else, awareness that if food is | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
offered for free then people will take it? Angela is a manager here. | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
She believes it is right to ask difficult questions of those who say | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
they are in need. If you are donating something, you wanted to go | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
to the right person. You don't want to give it to somebody who has just | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
gone to the off-licence. Morally, that can't be right. The government | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
says it is helping those in work and its benefit changes will make lower | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
earners better off. The problem is that the longer it takes for the | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
economy to recover, the busier foodbanks will become. Thousands of | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
England fans are expected to make the journey to South America next | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
after the team secured a place last night in XT's World Cup. Roy | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
Hodgson's beat Poland, guaranteeing them a place in the finals. But | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
watching England in Brazil will not be easy. For fans, it was ecstasy. | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
For the captain, sheer relief as he booked England's flight to | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
football's greatest party. Joy, too, for the manager at the weight of a | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
nation's hopes lifted from his shoulders. It has been our goal. | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
You could say it is the dream for every national team, every national | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
team coach, to lead his team out in a World Cup in Brazil. We are all | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
pleased about that. At 1-0, it was very tense. You are always thinking, | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
one mistake or bit of bad play and we could be in trouble. We got a | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
break with the goal. But it was tremendous. England's performances | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
over the last two Games have transformed the mood ran here from | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
one of joyless resignation to one of quiet optimism. Nobody is getting | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
carried away, but as Roy Hodgson said, if you dream of winning the | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
lottery, you must first buy a ticket. At fans may need their | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
numbers to come up. Current return flights to the Rio in June have | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
leapt to ?1200. The whole cost of seeing England's group Games could | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
set fans back ?7,000. The important thing is, having qualified, you are | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
not going to waste the chance of being there. However I can do it, I | :26:13. | :26:20. | |
will be there. Before fans can dream of the final, a word of caution from | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
a man who knows about the pressure of playing for England. Can we | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
really say that if we get into the last 16 against Brazil, we are going | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
to beat Brazil? The expectations, we don't live who we are going to play, | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
I always say all you can do is maximise your potential. England | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
will learn their group opponents in December. It is tough -- true that | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
tougher tests lie in wait. For now, at least joy that England will be at | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
the carnival. Finally, part of a giant meteor | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
weighing more than half a tonne has been raised from the lake where it | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
crashed earlier this year. The meteor exploded above central | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
Russia, showering down debris which injured around 1000 people and | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
damaged hundreds of buildings. Our correspondent reports from Moscow. | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
Emerging from a lake in Russia's Ural Mountains, what scientists | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
believe is a huge meteorite, a rock which flew in from space. It is | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
thought to be the biggest remaining fragment of a huge meteor which | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
broke through the Earth's atmosphere earlier this year. It is so dense | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
that this rock weighed in at over half a tonne. Scientists think it is | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
one of the ten biggest meteorite fragments ever found. The meteorite | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
fell to Earth on a Friday morning, back in February. | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
It created a fireball that blazed a trail across the clear winter sky. | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
It was filmed on dozens of the cameras that Russians love to have | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
in their cars. People rushed outside to see what it was and then this. A | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
massive explosion as big as 30 nuclear bombs. It shocked, terrified | :28:11. | :28:18. | |
and amazed at the commuters on their way to work. The blast wave blue in | :28:19. | :28:25. | |
windows in sports clubs, schools and offices. Hundreds of people who had | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
gone to look outside work at in the face by flying glass and ended up in | :28:32. | :28:39. | |
hospital. Now they can see what caused the chaos, a rock still | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
bearing the scars of its journey through space. | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
Let's have a look at the latest weather. | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
I'm not even going to tempt fate by saying there is nothing like that on | :28:54. | :29:00. | |
the way. For some of you, some rain is likely. It started in the South | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
West. But you can see it is on the move. It is pushing further towards | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
the north. It is going to be one of those afternoons for Northern | :29:13. | :29:15. | |
Ireland. So, too, the North of England. Not overly warm in | :29:16. | :29:22. | |
Scotland. Northern Ireland, Southern uplands of Scotland, you could see | :29:23. | :29:28. | |
40 millimetres of rain. The rain is on the move. You have got it in the | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
Midlands, but it will stop, and could even brighten up. 10 degrees | :29:33. | :29:40. | |
at the moment. 16 or 17 is on the way in the south-west in court as | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
the skies brighten and we tap into some mild air. Overnight, the rain | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
just about get away from Northern Ireland. You have got some heavy | :29:49. | :29:54. | |
showers behind. It will be joined by other showers in the southern parts | :29:55. | :30:00. | |
of it when Wales. Yesterday we were talking about where the air has come | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
from. This is responsible for this weather. This is Thursday daytime. | :30:07. | :30:15. | |
We have still got the remnants of the front. The rain is easing but | :30:16. | :30:21. | |
there is an absence of sunshine. A different kettle of fish in the | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
south. A mixture of sunny spells, 17 degrees, but further north, oh, | :30:28. | :30:33. | |
dear, nine or ten. We have still got the mild flow of southerly breezes | :30:34. | :30:40. | |
into Friday. We will see an area of cloud and rain building all the | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
while from the south-west. It will push ever further north. Notice the | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
temperatures are at best still above par for the time of year. The rain | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
will be all over the British Isles on Friday night. Following behind, a | :30:54. | :31:02. | |
mixed of sunshine and showers. Into Sunday, again, still a rather | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
unsettled feel. But not a right. The weekend, we suspect, will be showers | :31:08. | :31:17. | |
and breezy. We are going to stay on the mild side by day and night. At | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
this time of year, that is welcome. A reminder of our top story. The | :31:23. | :31:26. | |
number of people claiming an implement benefit has fallen at its | :31:27. | :31:31. | |
fastest rate since 1997 as the jobless total falls again. That is | :31:32. | :31:33. | |
all from us. jobless total falls again. That is | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
from us. Now on BBC1 it is time for the news where you | :31:38. | :31:39. |
