Tonight, the biggest drop in the jobless total for more than ten | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
years, but some parts of the UK are still struggling. Thousands of | :00:52. | :00:55. | |

Some unions are talking of sustained and co-ordinated | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
industrial action in the autumn. Laura Kuenssberg is in Westminster. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
Laura, as you heard, the unions are talking about even more action. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |

warning coming from some union Unemployment fell by 88,000 during | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
the three months ending in April. That left just over 2.4 million | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
people out of work. That's the lowest in two years. And employment, | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
those in work, was up by 80,000 over the same period. New jobs are | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
being created right here in Tredeger in South Wales. British | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Gas is training engineers to install smart metres and other | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
green technology. It's even built a street of dummy houses to practice | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
on. Some will be offered permanent jobs with the company. Clinton dix | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
who has been unemployed for a year is hoping fob one of them. Couldn't | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
get an interview. I found it hard to get my face seen and foot in the | :07:14. | :07:24. | |
:07:24. | :07:27. | ||
door. It's a new lease of life. Unemployment in this area is well | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
above the national average. Job creation is patchy and there's | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
fierce competition for any positions which do come up. This | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
lady has been helped by job search advisers. She has hunted for | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
vacancies on-line but no luck after 12 months. To not even get a | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
response now is so depressing. It makes you feel that you are on the | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
heap. I know I'm not, because I've got a brain and the experience. | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
Over the last year there have been cutbacks to public sector | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
employment. There was a drop of more than 140,000, but the private | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
sector has more than made up for that, by adding more than 500,000 | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
to its total of people in work. the time being, it looks as though | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
the private sector is making up for job losses in the public sector. | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
However, the job losses in the public sector are likely to | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
accelerate in the coming months, at a time when the economy overall is | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
likely to weaken. The narrower jobless measure, those claiming | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
jobseeker's allowance was up in May and that's a reminder that the job | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
market is some way from where it should be. Later in the programme | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
we'll be exploring how people in one of the UK's blackspots are | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
coping with tough times. David Cameron and Ed Miliband have | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
clashed in the Commons over welfare support for cancer victims. At | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Prime Minister's questions, the Labour leader said benefit changes | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
being debated by MPs could see 7,000 cancer patients losing up to | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
�94 a week in financial support. David Cameron said Mr Miliband's | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
protests were a smoke screen to hide Labour's reluctance to back | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
:09:22. | :09:25. | ||
well fair we form. -- reform. It's a highly sensitive issue. If | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
someone's recovering from illness, how soon should they return to | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
work? The Government has made it clear that big savings will have to | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
be made. Today, the Labour leader picked a fight over welfare reform | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
with cancer patients his focus. He said thousands could lose almost | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
�100 a week. I'm amazed that the Prime Minister doesn't know about | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
these arguments. Why doesn't he know? The House of Commons is | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
voting on this Bill tonight. He should know about these. I ask him | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
again, will he now admit that 7,000 cancer patients are losing up to | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
�94 a week? The changes mean those who have been assessed and able to | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
look for work will have a year to find a job before their sick pay is | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
stopped for means tests. Labour wants that increased to two years. | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
The whole point about the reforms is that there are proper, medical | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
tests so we support those who cannot work as a generous and | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
tolerant and compassionate country should, but we make sure that those | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
who can work have to go out to work. Some cancer charities say although | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
patients may have finished treatment, it's impossible to put a | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
time limit on full recovery and the plans go too far. We know cancer | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
patients are already disadvantaged. Some people have lost 50% of their | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
income and incur extra costs because of their illness. They | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
haven't asked to be in this position. At the heart of this is a | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
much wider issue an an argument over cancer patients, as it's about | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
how quickly to cut benefits for those deemed fit to work but who | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
don't have a job. David Cameron accused Ed Miliband of deliberately | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
constructing a skrobg screen to vote against the changes -- smoke | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
screen to vote against the changes. Thousands of Northern Rock | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
customers queuing to get their money out was the start of the | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
financial crisis in this country. The Chancellor will announce that | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
the bank will be sold back to the private sector, raising as much as | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
�1 billion. Robert Peston is at Mansion House, where the Chancellor | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
will be speaking. I mentioned that �1 billion figure. Is the taxpayer | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
going to get his money back? If the Treasury gets that, but on the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
basis of the business being sold there would be a loss, because | :11:44. | :11:52. | |
they've injected something like 1.4 billion in to the slimmed-down | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Northern Rock that is being offered for sale. The important point is | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
that some �40 billion of Northern Rock's older mortgages and loans it | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
provides to people in the past, they remain in the public sector | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
and they are generating profits for taxpayers. So, at the time that all | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
the mortgages are repaid in a few years' time, chances are that we | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
will have made a profit, but it's going to take a good few years. For | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
the Chancellor, however, the importance of this privatisation is | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
the signal that it sends, that conditions in the city and the | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
financial services industry may be returning to normal. Remember, that | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
for most people, it was the collapse of Northern Rock that told | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
them that the economy was in a catastrophic mess. The fact that it | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
is realistic to now privatise the business that most people equate | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
with the crisis, it's a big moment, but not yet back to normal, but | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
maybe we're on the route to something that looks a bit more | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
like economic and financial normality. Thank you. Britain's | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
biggest care home provider, Southern Cross, will troo to end | :12:57. | :13:01. | |

The company, can cares for more than 30,000 elderly people in 752 | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
homes, is facing a financial crisis. It's understood that up to 500 of | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
the homes could be taken away from the company and run under new | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
management. Secondary schools in England are to be set more | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
ambitious targets for exam result. The Education Secretary says at | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
least half of pupils in every school should secure five good GCSE | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
passes to enable Britain to compete with growing Asian economies. | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
Thousands of people in Greece are taking part in a series of protests | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
against new austerity measures. Demonstrators threw stones at the | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
police, who responded by firing tear gas into the crowd. Greece was | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
bailed out by the EU and there are fears that if the government there | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
fails to keep it's side of the bargain the rest of Europe could | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
face a multi-billion-pound bill. This report contains flash | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
photography. The fighting that took place outside Parliament was the | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
most serious violence scene on -- seen on the streets of Athens for | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
over a year and evidence, if it was needed, that the public can't take | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
any more. The indignant movement, which has been holding peaceful | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
demonstrations, stood back as the rye rotters did their work. Nearly | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
three weeks of protests by the movement have had the desired | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
effect. Acovereding to the Government, the Prime Minister has | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
offered to step down, on the condition that the new Government | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
sticks to the rules laid down. George Papaconstantinou had | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
promised he had the strength to save Greece, but it appears he was | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
forced to tell the President he had lost the support of a rebellious | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
element of his Socialist Party. Grease's economy is in a parl lust | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
position. The debt is �300 billion. It's supposed to be receiving �95 | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
billion as part of a bail-out package, but the political chaos | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
has put the handouts in doubt. not about me any more, it's about | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
our children and I don't see a bright future. The demonstrators | :15:18. | :15:21. | |

biggest drop since the summer of Two men have been arrested close to | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
the Devon home of the singer Joss Stone. They're being questioned on | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
suspicion of conspiring to rob and murder. A senior police source | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
confirmed they were found with swords, forensic-style overalls and | :16:19. | :16:29. | |
:16:29. | :16:31. | ||
a body bag. Our correspondent Jon Yet, despite all her success over | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
the last few years, Joss Stone has always described herself as a home | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
bird. But the gates of that large property remain firmly shut tonight, | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
there are police officers patrolling the village and | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
journalists as well, all asking exactly what happened. | :16:49. | :16:54. | |

British Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone shot to fame as a teenager and | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
recording deals have made her a multi-millionaire. But despite the | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
jet-set lifestyle, she still lives in the tiny Devon hamlet where she | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
grew up. It was in these narrow lanes that police arrested two men | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
after neighbours reported a suspicious-looking car. It is | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
understood officers also recovered swords, ropes and a body bag. At | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
the gates of her detached property, I met some of the singer's old | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
friends. How I am outraged, I went to school with her and I live | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
locally and to hear something like that is shocking. Especially around | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
here. A lot has changed since Joss Stone used to seeing him in school | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
plays and village halls. Here she is performing in Devon for just as | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
she was hitting the big time. One of the 24-year-old's last public | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
appearances was at the Royal Wedding. She is understood to be a | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
good friend of Prince William. In a statement this afternoon, she | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
thanked fans for their concern, but insisted she was fined and getting | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
on with things as normal. Normal for her these days means recording | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
hit music. Here she is in Nashville making her latest album. But this | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
evening, at the quiet place she has always called home, new security | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
measures while the police asked the star's neighbours what they might | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
have seen. It is not clear whether Joss Stone | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
was definitely here at the time of these arrests. The men concerned | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
being held at a police station in Exeter, no charges as far as we | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
know. When Libyans watch their state TV, | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
they're told over and over again that there's complete support for | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
Colonel Gaddafi. But the BBC has managed to interview members of the | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Libyan underground opposition in Tripoli. They describe their acts | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
of resistance and their willingness to die for the anti-Gaddafi cause. | :18:55. | :19:05. | |

Our correspondent Wyre Davies sent Inner-city penetrated by fear and | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
suspicion, this is the only way to find out what many Libyans are | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
really thinking. We have given our government minders the slip, but it | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
is still a nervous journey to a safe house in a Tripoli suburb. The | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
four young activists by meat have suffered at the regime's hands in | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
one way or another. Friends have been killed, they are tired of the | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
corruption and nepotism and say pressure is mounting on Colonel | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
Gaddafi to go. For their own safety, their words are spoken by actors. | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
It is a fight and we will fight, but not with empty hands. It is | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
crazy to go out facing people with guns and we know what intentions | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
they have. Do you think in the end Gaddafi will have to go? I think he | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
is finished already, he is damaging the country as much as he can, but | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
he is finished. He is finished. the early days of the surprising, | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
anti-government protests in Tripoli were brutally crushed. But people | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
are beginning to find their voices again. At this reason funeral in | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
the capital, a rebel flag is raised in open defiance. On this video, | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
which is impossible to verify, government soldiers stand over | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
dying rebels after recent fighting in the capital. You dogs, they say, | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
this is revenge. Gaddafi's opponents know that Tripoli is | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
still a dangerous place. I think it is going to be bloody because he is | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
not going to give up easily. think we will see more violence? | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
Definitely. Definitely. How does that make you feel? I am a little | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
scared, but I am we leap -- willing to sacrifice my life of this. | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
are willing to die? Yes, without hesitation. This is how the regime | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
portrays things, fanatical they may be, but many faces at Gaddafi | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
rallies are by now familiar and are fewer in number. 10 weeks a dash of | :21:18. | :21:21. | |

people out of work provides some good news for the economy, high | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
inflation and low wage rises are creating a real squeeze for many | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
households. One city that's felt the downturn more than most is Hull, | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
where unemployment is among the highest in the country. In the | :21:43. | :21:46. | |

This is caravan country, in east Yorkshire they build them up and | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
holiday in them. Jess and Julie are at the coast for a week. Come in | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
June and it is quiet and cheap. But dad is not here. The family | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
business went bust and he has to work. He has to miss his own summer | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
holiday. His company went into liquidation so we have struggled to | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
try to make ends meet and build another company. You don't know | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
whether your job is safe. Three years ago, this is Shaun Whittles | :22:35. | :22:40. | |

is him today working at a garden centre. He never got back into the | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
caravan industry, just a series of temporary jobs. This one ends next | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
week. It is the third time it has happened to me in the year. It is | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
just heart-wrenching because I have to start looking for another job | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
again and it is very hard to get a job. But it is not all bad. | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
Hundreds of jobs were lost in the caravan industry, but some have | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
returned. This is a new company in an old factory. Workers who came | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
back from the dole. It is hard when you're in a situation when you are | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
going for a job and there are maybe 50 blokes going for one job. | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
the people in the factory today came back to a different working | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
world. The average wage in here now is about 20% lower than it was | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
before the caravan industry went into meltdown. Workers and | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
management now take nothing for granted. A everybody now needs | :24:05. | :24:08. | |

Downing Street has insisted that no members of the Libyan government | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
will be allowed into Britain to watch the Olympics. Libya's | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
National Olympic Committee, headed by Colonel Gaddafi's son Muhammad, | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
is due to be allocated hundreds of tickets. David Cameron's spokesman | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
said an EU travel ban would prevent members of the Libyan regime from | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
attending. But with thousands of UK citizens left empty handed, | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
questions are being asked about whether countries like Zimbabwe and | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
Burma should get tickets. Our sports correspondent James Pearce | :25:00. | :25:10. | |

The Libyan team at the start of the Beijing Olympics. As things stand, | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
they will be able to compete again in London. The IOC has always tried | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
to keep sport separate from politics. In every country there is | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
no proper development of sport without the development of the | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
state and the government. But at the same time, we respect Felipe | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
request the government to take actions in favour of sport and not | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
utilising sport for their own purpose. It is a delicate balance. | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
At the weekend Gaddafi was filmed playing chess at the headquarters | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
of the Libyan Olympic Committee, which is headed by one of his sons. | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
On 27th July next year during the opening ceremony, the eyes of the | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
world will be on the stadium, but will the leaders of the world all | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
be invited? When it comes to Libya, the government here is adamant they | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
will not. Let's be clear about this, Gaddafi, his sons and his immediate | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
entourage are all subject to EU banning orders and can't enter the | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
EU and most deservedly London. are entitled to tickets next year? | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
There are 8.8 million in total. 75% of them will go to the British | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
public. 12% end up with the National Olympic Committees of | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
competing countries, including Libya. 8% are bought by the | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
sponsors and broadcasters. 5% for hospitality and other uses. It is | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
nothing new for the Olympics to face political issues. Duncan | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
Goodhew's gold in 1980 was that against boycotted by the Americans. | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
We had been through all sorts of different issues where politics had | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
tried to knows their way into sport. Definitely we found out in sport, | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
it is best to keep out of them as far as possible. Even in Beijing, | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
politics and China's show of strength work at the heart of the | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
Games. There are bound to be more international political issues on | :27:07. | :27:11. | |

is here with the weather now. It is on the slide. Some showers on | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
the way it, some of us have got some heavy showers right now. A | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
whole clutch of nasty storms across northern England. Crossing Leeds at | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
the moment. Elsewhere there will be a scattering of showers this | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
evening. Tonight we will see another area of blue, another spot | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
of rain pushing up across south- west England and across southern | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
areas as we go through towards dawn. In the Midlands as well. Clearer | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
skies in the north and west. Quite cool, temperatures staying well up | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
further south. It could be a wet start in the south and the Midlands, | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
making its way towards East Anglia and the south-east. And then the | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
sun comes out and then we will see a whole packet of showers | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
developing in the afternoon. These showers will be hit and miss in | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
nature. I think we can pick out some detail. Along the south coast | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
we might not do too badly. But inland there will be widespread | :28:14. | :28:19. | |
showers. Ascot will be affected, and the Test match. North-west | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
England and Cumbria not doing too badly. Parts of Scotland seeing | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
heavy and thundery downpours. When the showers come, temperatures will | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
fall quickly. The winds are quite light, but when the showers come | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
along, it could turn a little bit windy. A scattering of showers | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
across Wales and south-west England. 16 degrees in Plymouth is not great | :28:41. | :28:47. | |
for the time of year. And then things turned very rough indeed on | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
Friday. Some heavy rain splashing up through south-western areas | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
initially. Some uncertainty how quickly that will progress, but by | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
the end of the day most of us will have seen some rain and fairly | :28:58. | :29:04. | |
have seen some rain and fairly lively winds. | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
That looked awful! A reminder of the top news. | :29:08. | :29:13. |
