and welcome to the BBC News at One. David Cameron has welcomed proposals

to actively promote British values The plans were unveiled

by the Education Secretary, Michael Gove, yesterday,

after Ofsted found that some schools in Birmingham had been influenced

by hardline Islamic views. The Prime Minister said he

believed the proposals would enjoy This morning, four

of the schools which were accused of failing to protect pupils from

extremist ideas have been told their Our correspondent Alex Forsyth

reports. The day after Ofsted's damning

report, the community in Birmingham is feeling the impact. Five schools

are now in special measures. Ofsted said some governors were imposing

their own ethos, and a narrow, faith -based ideology in non-faith

schools. One parent outside this school this morning told us his son

had raised concerns. Two years ago, he said, we have been segregated,

told to sit at the front of the class, and girls were at the back of

the class. Boys were told not to play with girls. That should not

happen. We live in a mixed society. If I want my girl not to mix with

boys, I would have told them to go to a girls school. The school

rejects criticism, saying it does not segregated girls and boys, but

another parent said it does, and he supports the school is really good,

they keep the girls away from the boys, which is natural in our faith.

There is nothing wrong with that. Criticism of these schools has

undoubtedly divided opinion here. Some parents are clearly concerned,

but others vehemently act the schools and what they see as their

right to reflect this predominantly Muslim community. The majority in

that school if you went to, let's say, a Catholic school, you would

have a majority of Catholics. I went to that school, I did well, I got a

degree, I got a diploma, I am at work, paying my taxes, that is

British, isn't it? The Prime Minister, who is in Sweden, said

today he backed the idea of British values being promoted in all

schools, and this meant tolerance of all faiths. I would say freedom,

tolerance, respect for the rule of law, belief in social responsibility

and respect for British institutions. Those are the sorts of

things which I would hope would be inculcated into the curriculum in

any school in Britain. Back in Birmingham, the Academy trust which

runs four of the schools could be taken over. The fallout of this will

affect the whole education system. Our chief political correspondent

Norman Smith is in Westminster. Is there any sign that the political

row over this is dying down? No, another day, another argument

involving Michael Gove. You sense he is almost becoming like the Dennis

the Menace of British politics, always involved in scraps with

colleagues. The other day, it was Nick Clegg, Theresa May, and now a

bust up with Sir Michael Wilshaw, the head of Michael said that he had

asked to introduce on the spot inspections at schools, which

Michael Gove announced yesterday, back in 2012, but Mr Gove had said

no. Michael Gove's people this morning have accused the head of

Ofsted of not remembering events correctly. More than that, they say

Sir Michael actually has the power to introduce them whenever he

wants. They say that the Stoughton yesterday was a metaphorical kick up

the backside for Ofsted to get on and start introducing some of these

things. Why does it matter? Because these are the two figures who are

meant to be at the centre of implementing the Government's

strategy after tackling extremism in schools, and one day after the

strategy is unveiled, they seem to be taking lumps after each other.

Maximum fines imposed by magistrates could rise

dramatically, with drivers caught speeding on the motorway facing

Under new proposals for England and Wales put before Parliament,

there would be no limit on the fine for drink-driving.

Our legal correspondent Clive Coleman reports.

The maximum sentences for being drunk and disorderly, not paying

your TV licence, and failing to ensure your children attend school

regularly will be up under legislation put before Parliament

today. The Government are saying, we trust magistrates to deal with this,

to use their discretion to fine appropriately, and we find that

rewarding. And for speeding on the motorway, another fourfold increase

in the maximum fine, up from ?2500 to ?10,000. On the face of it, it

sounds like a Draconian level of fine, it is a headline grabbing

figure, but the reality is, fines for speeding and other offences have

declined in recent years, largely because we do not have the traffic

enforcement officers out there to implement them. These changes do not

mean that magistrates will make everyone pay the maximum ?10,000

fine. All fines must reflect the seriousness of the offence. But the

court also have to take into consideration a person's ability to

pay. So someone on benefits caught hurtling down the motorway at

excessive speed will not begin in a ?10,000 fine which they cannot pay.

The Government says increasing fines can be effective in punishing and

deterring criminals. Not everybody agrees. Full this does not seem to

be the answer. Money is not always the answer. Maybe they should find

more officers to enforce the law. Magistrates will also be able to

impose unlimited fines for the most serious offences. Crime, they say,

does not pay. But for those who commit it, the cost could get a

whole lot greater. A fresh gun battle has erupted close

to Pakistan's busiest airport in the city of Karachi, just a day after

militants launched a deadly raid on one of its terminals in which

more than 30 people were killed. Security forces have again come

under attack - officials say gunmen on motorbikes

shot at a training camp just outside Our world affairs correspondent Mike

Wooldridge reports from Islamabad. A new gunfight today, on the edge of

Pakistan's busiest airport. The target was a building close to the

airport perimeter, used by the Airport Security Force for training

and weapons storage. Sugared gunmen tried to enter the building, firing

shots. The army fought back, pursuing the gunmen over the course

of an hour or so. TRANSLATION: At the moment, the situation is under

control. No terrorist is present in the area, no one has penetrated

security. Flights are operating normally. The Pakistani Prime

Minister, now was Sharif, called for the meant to be eliminated. Today,

the bodies of seven more thick teams of Sunday's attack were recovered.

They had taken refuge in a cold storage building and died there

before they could be rescued. In all of this, there are echoes of the

violence which peaked here just months after peace negotiations made

a halting start. And Mike joins me now

from Islamabad. This happened in the most important

economic city of this country. It does nothing once again for the

image of Pakistan. The government will want this to be seen as a

response, with every risk that this cycle of violence will simply

Tesco Bank is to offer a current account for the first time.

Until now, it has provided just credit cards,

Around three-quarters of current accounts

in the UK are with the so-called "big four", and the Government has

encouraged so-called challenger banks to increase competition.

Our personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz reports.

In amongst the nappies and the pick and mix, now you can get a current

account. Because Tesco is so big, it has the potential to give high

street banks run for money. We are building a bank for generations to

come. There will be greater transparency. Customers tell they

are fed up with the smoke and mirrors and the need to pay

attention to small print. There will be a possible ?5 monthly charge,

however, there will be the prospect of Tesco Clubcard points. Tesco

already has 6 million banking customers with savings and credit

cards, 12% of all credit card transactions are on Tesco cards, and

it is hoping that many of its 17 million Clubcard members will be

tempted to move. For me, it is about internet banking. If they can offer

a better banking service through the internet, then yes. I am not only in

Tesco's, I am in Sainsbury's, everywhere. TSP is expanding, along

with Metro bank in some areas, and a Virgin account is on the way. Will

the big banks be in retreat? The current-account market is still

heavily dominated by the big players. I do not think they will be

losing too much sleep, there has got to be much more done to get serious

competition back into retail banking. The Tesco brand has taken a

knock with poorer sales recently, so it is hoping that customers with

current accounts will also spend more on Tesco groceries.

FIFA's President Sepp Blatter has lashed out at critics

of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, accusing them of racism.

With just two days to go until the start of this year's tournament,

football leaders are gathering in Brazil to discuss the allegations

of corruption surrounding Qatar's winning bid for the tournament - a

controversy that is likely to dominate proceedings. Our sports

editor, David Bond, reports from Brazil.

This is the prize every team here in Brazil is aiming for. But for the

last couple of weeks, it has been harder to focus on the football.

Later today, the leaders of the world game with gather here for the

FIFA congress. Once again, the subject of the to tell world is

likely to overshadow proceedings. For the FIFA president, Sepp

Blatter, this is all an unwanted distraction. Yesterday, he said the

British media's latest wave of allegations about was motivated by

racism. The claims centre on this man, Mohammed bin Hammam, accused of

making payments to football officials in return for their

support during the race for the 2022 World Cup. Katyn deny the

allegations, and FIFA says it is investigating, but changes to the

bidding process have already been made. In future, it will not be done

by the executive committee of FIFA, but it will be done by the FIFA

Congress. So it is clear that FIFA has changed the way it is directed

and controlled. We have introduced a series of checks and balances.

Despite all of the criticism, Sepp Blatter is expected to announce here

at the Congress that he wants to continue to run world football until

2019. What most people care about right now, though,

2019. What most people care about right is the start of the World Cup,

which finally gets going on Thursday.

Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks is in Copacobana.

All eyes on a Roy Hodgson news conference later? Absolutely. He

will give his first press conference in about an hour and at the moment

it is rather calm and relaxed. Some players showed just how relaxed they

were yesterday when they visited a nor -- nearby demonstration. Daniel

Sturridge in particular got involved with handstands, cartwheels and

samba moves. It shows they are quite happy at the moment. He could have a

large role to play on Saturday when they face Italy in Manaus, where the

weather will be hotter and more humid. They might feel at home today

because it is much colder and quite wet but at least they got a good

training session in yesterday at their military base, in the shadow

of Sugar Loaf Mountain, and it was very hot, nudging 30. A lot of water

taken on and a lot of water spray. Steven Gerrard only completed half

of that training session because he came off early with a tight groin.

They said that was just a precaution but when we hear from Roy Hodgson in

an hour that will be one of the main question is, whether the captain

will be fit for the game against thank you.

And the next generation of playwrights whose works are selling

out at the royal court. An international four-day summit

on how to end sexual violence during war has opened in London.

The event, hosted by the Foreign Secretary

William Hague and the actress and UN special envoy Angelina Jolie is the

culmination of a two-year campaign to raise awareness about the issue.

Some of the figures surrounding the issue are disturbing.

There are 1100 rapes reported monthly in the Democratic Republic

of Congo. 50,000 women were raped

in the Bosnian conflict. And as many

as half a million women were raped during the Rwandan genocide.

Our world affairs correspondent Emily Buchanan has the latest.

Rape has long been a tool of terror, a means to dominate and

sometimes to eliminate an enemy. But it has also widely been ignored.

Seen as merely the collateral damage of conflict. Not any more. Sexual

violence has been propelled to world attention. The foreign secretary

William Hague and Angelina Jolie went to Bosnia in March and heard

how rape was part of the Bosnian Serb strategy. While many of the

women still suffer, the perpetrators are free. The aim of today's London

conference is to bring justice for victims. We can remove war zone rape

from the world arsenal of cruelty. We can't do this overnight. We can't

do it overnight. Follow British Government and for Angelina and for

me personally this summit is not the end of the road for our work. It is

in many ways just the beginning. Angelina Jolie said military,

conflict was no excuse for sex accounts. This whole subject has

been taboo for too long. War zone rape is a crime that thrives on

silence and denial. The stigma harms survivors and causes feelings of

shame and worthlessness. It feeds ignorance, such as the notion that

rape has anything to do with normal sexual impulses. But most of all, it

allows the rapist to get away with it. We must send a message around

the world that there is no disgrace in being a survivor of sexual

violence, that the shame is on the aggressor. Rape is as old as war

itself and it makes it harder for communities to recover. In reminder,

the ethnic cleansing included sexual mutilation as well as killing. The

survivors to this day have to live with the legacy. In Sudan's Darfur

region, rape became a way of life for women and even young children.

Many might ask if a conference can really prevent such atrocities.

People need to know that they can act and if they speak out, they are

joining a group of people that say they will bring this to an end. Also

there will be seriously powerful people at this summit. They will be

making commitments, further investment in really targeting

interventions full survivors, but also methods to prevent sexual

violence in the future. Women often struggle for the rest of their lives

to cope with the physical and psychological damage of sex attacks.

If global money and political will can make a difference, the next

generation at least might suffer less. Emily Buchanan, BBC News.

Emily Buchanan has the latest. There's still deadlock over who

should take over as President of the European Commission,

with Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel and Britain's David Cameron

openly disagreeing. She wants Luxembourg's Jean-Claude

Juncker to have the job. He doesn't, saying appointing

Juncker would be a stitch-up. Is there any sign of compromise from

anyone? Not much. When the four leaders had a press conference here,

the mood was quite chummy. They are all centre-right European leaders

and they all want reform of the European Union. On that they can

agree. On the question of Jean-Claude Juncker and whether he

should be the next European Commission President, there is

clearly a difference between Germany and Britain in particular. David

Cameron reasserted his view that he is simply not the man for a reformed

European Union. They think he is yesterday's Brussels bureaucrat.

They don't think the process that produced him as frontrunner was

right. Angela Merkel feels differently. David Cameron was asked

if he warned Angela Merkel that if he does become President that it

could accelerate Britain's move to the exit door of Europe. Angela

Merkel answered for him, saying it must be done in a European spirit

and any threats were not welcome. This is being interpreted by some as

a possible rebuke to David Cameron, confirmation that he made this

warning, which Downing Street are denying. It could also be a warning

to the European Parliament not to overstep its mark and post

Jean-Claude Juncker on an unwilling Europe. So on that key issue, still

significant disagreement. Thank you. Juncker would be a stitch-up.

One in three adults in England is on the verge

of developing type two diabetes. Researchers say there's been

an extremely rapid rise in cases of pre-diabetes since 2003.

Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes reports.

Developing type two diabetes can have a profound impact on your life.

Helen Barker and agree. I had to stop eating rubbish and start

exercising. I had seen diabetes with my brother and my father and I did

not want it in my life so I had to stop it happening. Researchers warn

that one in three of us are now at risk. Looking at data gathered from

thousands of us in England, they saw that in 2000 and 311% of adults

surveyed had prediabetes. By 2011, the figures had travelled to 35%.

Between five and ten people with prediabetes will go on to develop

type two diabetes each year. Many of us already suffer from type two

diabetes and research warns that many more are at risk of developing

it. This condition can have a serious impact on your health but in

80% of cases it is almost entirely avoidable. Diabetes UK says those at

risk and the Government needs to think hard about their response.

Reality is that if you are overweight not doing activity, not

eating a healthy diet, your risk of developing type two diabetes is high

and you need to find out your risk and do something about it. The

Government needs to wake up and smell the coffee and realise that

the tidal wave of diabetes is coming towards it. Treating diabetes costs

the NHS around one tenth of its total budget every year. As well as

being a stark warning about the risks to our health, today's study

also has serious financial implications. Dominic Hughes, BBC

It's the sporting event Britain has never won but that's

about to change if Sir Ben Ainslie has anything to do with it.

The most successful Olympic sailor of all time, Sir Ben,

hopes to help Britannia rule the waves with his new team which

he unveiled today in Portsmouth. Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson

is in Greenwich. Nobody does maritime history like

Great Britain and here we are at the heart of it in Greenwich. Building a

team for the America's Cup in 2017 takes time and money but this is the

theory. Start with Ben Ainslie and everything else will follow. The

Duchess of Cambridge with the King of sailing. Kate Middleton and Ben

Ainslie near the Greenwich Maritime Museum this morning. The launch of a

team to try to finally win a competition that Britain invented.

Since 1851, a British boat has never won the America's Cup. In fact it is

50 years since the last British challenger. These days you need ?80

million to get anywhere but Ben Ainslie hopes there is now the money

and technology in Britain to compete. If you could swap one of

your four Olympic gold battles for an America's Cup, would you take

that? Absolutely. Two? For a British team to win the America's Cup I

would probably give all of them apart from London 2012. It is such a

huge deal for us. We have never won it and it is the oldest trophy in

international sport. It would be massive for us to bring it back to

British waters. Last year's the USA team Oracle were on the point of

being defeated, so they put Ben Ainslie in charge and won. They are

the defending champions now facing the prospect of racing against Ben

Ainslie's British team. This time it is a different thing. We are on

different teams and I am expecting nothing short of a full on

bare-knuckle brawl. There will be no pulling punches and it will be all

on. Good mates of the water but, man, it will be brutal on the water.

For age and size, no trophy can match the America's Cup. All that

has been missing is a British team inscribed upon it. Luckily winning

is what Ben Ainslie does best. Two quick points. There could be as many

as ten other teams around the world that want to take on the defending

champion and secondly Ben Ainslie's team still needs to raise 60% of its

money. Thank you. is in Greenwich.

A painting gifted to the National Trust has been verified

as a genuine Rembrandt, estimated to be worth ?30 million.

The self-portrait, which hangs in Devon's Buckland Abbey,

had been the subject of debate over its authenticity since 1968.

David Sillito reports. No one has ever doubted that the

man in the picture is Rembrandt. The question that's hung over this

painting in Buckland Abbey for centuries is did Rembrandt

actually paint it? We now have an answer.

Yes. I am gently removing

the varnish layer. Christine Stillwell has spent

eight months examining it. There were many clues

in the paint and the signature. The signature,

it was a question of whether it had been put on the painting

when the painting was painted. A small sample

of the extreme edge of the painting with the signature shows that they

were intimately connected, the two paint layers, and it shows

very clearly the signature was on when the painting was painted.

And even closer examination shows it's not a copy

because we can see the painter thinking, changing his mind.

We can see marks where he has been nervously painting areas

and then gone back over it and changed things.

It shows us the silhouette has changed

but also the pose has changed. Previously his left hand was

held out in front of his chest. And the value now?

The value has changed considerably. It is now probably worth about ?30

million but that is nominal because we do not deaccession art

in the National Trust so it will stay in Buckland Abbey

for everyone to enjoy forever. The National Trust has

13,000 paintings. It now finally has a Rembrandt.

David Sillito, BBC News. Now the weather. Like yesterday, a

real mixture. Now the weather. Like yesterday,

Sunshine for some but heavy and thundery downpours out there. Over

the next couple of days we will lose those showers as it turns dry and

for some feeling warmer as well. The latest satellite picture shows

clearer skies in the South and East and much more cloud North and West.

This will continue to be the focus of heavy showers for the next couple

of hours. Some downpours across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland,

down through northern England and Wales. In Scotland, there is a

breeze, so showers are moving through and in between we will see

dry and bright spells. In Northern Ireland, showers are more

slow-moving with heavy downpours. Hail and thunder. Showers stretching

down across Wales, mainly focused on the North coast of Cornwall. The

South coast should be mainly dry and fine with temperatures up to 22.

This evening we keep the showers. Taking their time but eventually

losing their intensity and clearing away. There are lots of places

tonight will be dry with clearing skies and in the Southeast a more

comfortable night for sleeping. Temperatures beginning tomorrow

morning at 12 to 13. Tomorrow should be fine and dry foremost tomorrow

with bright spells of sunshine coming and going and more cloud in

the afternoon. Showers like and scattered and mainly focused across

the northern half of the UK. Temperatures for many will reach the

high teens and possibly the low 20s in the South East. Dry at Queen's

Club and more clout in Birmingham. As we go through the week, high

pressure holding on. It will squeeze South and these weather front come

into the North. By Thursday, more cloud in the North and West with

outbreaks of rain. Fairly patchy and light and focused in the North

West. Despite cloud in Northern Ireland, temperatures still in the

high teens, but sunshine further South and East means that

temperatures reach the mid 20s. By Friday, southern areas keep hold of

the dry whether with temperatures in the mid-20s. Further North, more

complicated with weak weather front producing more cloud and patchy
