BBC News At One. The British economy grew by 1.9% in | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
2013, according to figures released today by the Office for National | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Statistics. They are the strongest growth figures since 2007, the year | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
before the banking crisis, which threw much of the world into | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
recession. The Chancellor George Osborne says the numbers are further | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
evidence that the government's long-term economic plan is working. | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
The shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls, also welcomed today's growth | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
figures, but added they were 'long overdue after three damaging years | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
of flatlining'. Here's our chief economic correspondent, Hugh Pym. | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
It's a snapshot of all the main areas of the economy, adding up the | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
value of goods and services to provide a figure called GDP. In the | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
final three months of last year, there was solid growth again. The | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
latest chapter of the economic story is well illustrated at this | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
packaging manufacturer in Northamptonshire. Last year, it was | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
confident enough to invest in a major warehouse expansion. New jobs | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
have been created. The boss told me his success reflected growth in the | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
wider economy. Packaging is a barometer. We deal with a large | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
cross-section of different companies from engineering, retailers to | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
manufacturing. In the past 18 to 24 months, things have picked up. The | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
dominant service sector saw growth of 0.8% in the last quarter. | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
Construction went the other way, down 0.3%. Manufacturing saw healthy | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
growth of 0.9%. The latest figures were hailed by the Chancellor in the | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
Commons. These numbers are a boost for the economic security of | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
hard-working people. Growth is broadly based, with manufacturing | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
growing fastest of all. More evidence are long-term economic plan | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
is working, but the job is not done. But Labour argued the growth picture | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
was not all rosy and the economy was not yet secure. Construction output | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
is still down and business investment isn't coming back. We | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
need a plan to get the investment they need and the recovery which | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
works the people in our country. The economy is growing and jobs are | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
being created, but many in work are still feeling a squeeze because pay | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
rises are rising well behind cost of living increases. Most economists | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
expect that to change over the next year or so, but right now, some may | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
feel the economy has not yet arrived. People we spoke to in Corby | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
had mixed views. Wages haven't gone up like everything else has gone up. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
I do sense things are getting better. Shops are getting busier | :04:24. | :04:33. | |
now. The economy may not be firing on all cylinders yet, but UK growth | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
was among the fastest of the leading economies in Europe last year. It | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
looks to be the same in 2014 according to most forecasters. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
On the face of it, good news. How good? Well, on the one hand, growth | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
was a tiny bit slower in the fourth quarter of last year, although | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
perfectly respectable. Overall output is still below where I was | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
before the recession in 20 -- in 2008. And there is a big disparity | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
in different sectors. Manufacturing and construction are still well | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
below the previous peak. Vince Cable and others are saying the economy | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
has not properly rebalanced. On the other hand, the Chancellor and | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
others will say, hang on, this performance last year was the first | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
unbroken run of growth since 2007, among the best of the leading | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
industrialised economies. We were upgraded by the IMF last week, | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
putting Britain among the best performers this year. Jobs are being | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
created, there is not a lot wrong. Let's speak to our chief political | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
correspondent Norman Smith who's at Westminster. We heard those people | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
in Corby saying they feel the recovery has not yet got to them. I | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
presume that is the key for the politics of this, when people start | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
feeling the economy is working in their failure. | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
I think that is true, but there is no doubt Labour is having to pretty | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
much swim against the economic tide with a steady flow of better figures | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
on inflation, unemployment and down growth. One poll of the night | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
reported their lead against the Tories had shrunk to a tiny 1%. This | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
is far from game over on the economy though. Why? Because people do not | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
feel better off yet, despite the recovery. And the main feel better | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
off by the time of the next election. The coalition also still | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
have to spend -- sells sweeping spending cuts. And there is a | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
niggling fear in government circles boys by Vince Cable that this is a | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
recovery fuelled by Roald bad habits of consumer debt and red-hot | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
property prices, which means despite Labour 's difficulties, it is too | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
early for ministers to think it is game over on the economy. | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
Thank you. If you want to read more and today's figures, there is a full | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
interactive guide on our website. A court's heard that a former News | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
of the World reporter played a recording of a hacked voice mail - | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
left by actress Sienna Miller for Daniel Craig - to his editor, Andy | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
Coulson. Dan Evans - a witness for the prosecution who's already | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
pleaded guilty to hacking - told the court Mr Coulson described the tape | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
as "brilliant". Mr Coulson denies hacking charges. Our home affairs | :07:43. | :07:53. | |
correspondent is at the Old Bailey. Yes, this long trial has often been | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
quite technical, the prosecution relying on documents, transcripts | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
and timelines. But this week, the jury has heard from Jude Law and | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
today again from a man who said he was at the heart of the News of the | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
World phone hacking operation. Dan Evans was recruited to the News of | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
the World for his phone hacking skills, he says. He told the jury in | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
2005 he tried to investigate rumours the actor Sienna Miller was cheating | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
on her then partner Jude Law. On the phone of another actor comic Daniel | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
Craig, he said he found a message saying, I love you, from sienna | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
Miller. He said the journalists began to mobilise to flesh out the | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
story. Andy Coulson came over and listen to the tape. He said, good | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
work. Andy Coulson said it was brilliant, while another executive | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
held my elbow and said, you are a company man now. Andy wanted to | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
preserve the tape but not the original recording. | :09:03. | :09:13. | |
The story was eventually published. Evans told the jury, for the record, | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
I would like to apologise to them all for infringing their privacy. He | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
told the jury he felt terrorised by one manager | :09:25. | :09:25. |
