the problem. Also tonight: Should NHS staff be allowed to wear full

keeps the gold jersey with three stages left to go -- Serb Bradley

Wiggins. Good evening and welcome to the BBC

News at Six. A crackdown on pensions which offers poor value for savers

has been ordered by the Office of Fair Trading. The watchdog says

pensions are so complicated that employees and employers struggle to

understand them. They have called for a ban on high charges which eat

into the value of people's savings but campaigners say it is still not

enough. Supermarkets were the first to get the green light when role

staff automatically in work -based pensions.

Over five years, 9 million workers are being signed up. But will what

is supposed to provide a safe retirement income for savers turn

out to be more of a moneyspinner for city financiers managing the funds?

We have identified schemes which are poor value for money and we have

taken steps to address those. We have also put in place a solution we

believe the government will take forward. Pension managers take a

pension charge every year out of the money you save. An annual charge of

half a percent results in the eventual pension income being 11%

lower than it might have been. A 1% charge reduces your income by 21%.

Some charges are double that yet few people realise. Do you know what you

are paying in charges? No, I know what I pay it in my pension pay

every month. They take charge every year. What percent is that? I have

not got a clue. If you ask how much of my pension contributions goes in

commission, I have no idea. Do you know how much you are being charged

by the pension company indices and commission? No idea. Does that worry

you? I guess so. Because people do not understand what they are

paying, the government signalled it could introduce a cap in charges of

1% a year. But the Office of Fair Trading is worried that that could

make things worse because cheaper pension companies could use that as

an excuse to push their charges up to 1%. The Office of Fair Trading

does want a ban on extra charges which are imposed if people stop

contributing if they move jobs, and audit scheme of higher charges and

an independent committee but there is still pressure to cap charges.

There are billions of pounds of is still pressure to cap charges.

people's money languishing in poor value schemes but the

recommendations do not go far enough. We need to see a cap on

charges to stop people from being stung and potentially losing tens of

thousands of pounds in the future. The danger is if people think their

pension pounds are being trimmed unfairly, they will opt out of

workplace pensions altogether. Simon joins me now. There is a problem for

the government because people do not understand how their pensions work.

Crowe this programme to roll people automatically, a million have been

signed up so far. They will hopefully have decent pensions but

if people are confused, they do not understand or are suspicious about

charges, they will be more likely to opt out in the future and less

likely to contribute more to the schemes, which you need to do to get

a decent pension. The government have looked at this.

They have banned a couple of charges and they are looking at the idea of

an overall cap in charges. The point of that would be to encourage people

to save more for their retirement and have more than the state

pension. The government has called for a review of whether NHS staff in

England should be allowed to wear full face veils.

Ministers say they could be a barrier to communicating with

patients. The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt says it is not a matter

which should be decided by politicians but he does understand

people's concerns. Bradford, a city with a large Muslim

population. It is also home to hospitals trust with clear

population. It is also home to guidelines about the face veils. It

says patients consistently tell us how important good two-way

communication is with them. Seeing someone's face when communicating is

therefore an important part of health care. But nationwide, this

effect is very few NHS staff. I have never come across any member of

staff in this hospital or any hospital who are covered with a full

veil. If you cannot see their face, it is difficult. As long as I was

seen to, I would not be bothered. A clear policy here about the face

veil but compare that to 100 miles away in the Wirral where staff are

allowed to wear one for religious reasons. These two London Doctors

both work in the NHS. One is a dentist and one is a doctor. Neither

wear their veil at work. I would feel more comfortable speaking to

someone who was not covered. While in the hospital dealing with

patients and staff, I take this bit off so it is easy to communicate and

for them to know who I am. Different off so it is easy to communicate and

policies in different hospitals has today seen the government call for a

review into guidelines on full face veils. I have a great deal of

sympathy for people who are worried but I think this is a matter for

professional regulators and not politicians. That is why my Health

Minister Dan Poulter has written to the GMC to clarify professional

guidelines which can be implemented locally. But the General Medical

Council says it is not up to them to tell doctors what to wear. And in a

week which has seen plenty of debate about the veil, there is growing

concern that it has all been blown about the veil, there is growing

out of proportion. Our own research suggests that women will take it off

when there is a need to. You have to be pragmatic about the situation and

they will readily accommodate. But what we are really concerned about

is the moral panic which has been generated by this topic. So calls

for concern or Islamophobia? The debate has some way to go in the

health service. An 18-year-old man has been charged

with murder in connection with a house fire in Leicester which killed

four members of the same family. The deadly blaze broke out in the early

hours of last Friday. It killed a woman and her three teenage

children. The best managers in the NHS are to be sent into failing

hospitals to turn them around. 11 hospital trusts which are currently

in special measures have been earmarked for new leadership. The

Health Secretary says more trusts are likely to be identified. Labour

argues that the cause of failure is under staffing and not poor

management. The American banking giant JP Morgan has been fined half

£1 million by US and UK regulators following massive losses by a trader

who was nicknamed the London Whale. Our business correspondent Emma

Simpson is here. We are talking about huge losses? They were

staggering. They were high-risk trades done here in London by JP

Morgan. The trader who placed these trades done here in London by JP

bets were so huge that he was nicknamed the London Whale. Today

came the finds, including the second biggest fine by the UK financial

regulator and it also had some very damning things to say about JP

Morgan, saying it failed to respond to the warning, signalled that

controls were poor and even more serious that the management in the

London investment office deliberately misled the regulator.

All in all it said the failings were extremely serious. JP Morgan said it

had accepted responsibility for its mistakes and was putting in measures

to make sure it would not happen again. Five years on from this

financial crisis, it does raise questions about continued

risk-taking. Doubts have been raised against a

British man wanted in South Africa Doubts have been raised against a

for allegedly ordering his wife's murder while on honeymoon. A leading

forensic scientist claims that police in South Africa failed to

test key evidence in the case. Anni Dewani was killed three years ago.

Her husband Shrien is accused of ordering her murder and is currently

waiting extradition to South Africa. The BBC's Panorama programme has

obtained secret files on the case. This CCTV never seen before shows

Shrien Dewani moments after learning his wife of three weeks had been

found dead. The same man South African police a paid hit men to

execute his wife. How Obama has discovered that statements from

three key witnesses who have all struck deals with the South African

state, appeared to contradict factual records like lists of phone

records and CCTV in the police files.

Their testimony gives accounts of calls which did not happen and

stories which are disproved by video evidence. This is not an

investigation which would meet the standards in this country. It is not

what would be considered to be good Pratt is. But they also failed to

test the evidence, to corroborate the key fact this. And to challenge

things which were not corroborated which were central to the story. One

key witness is the couple's taxi driver who was jailed for 18 years

in 2010 after he admits it his part in the killing. In his state meant,

he says Shrien Dewani called him in an agitated state. He says Shrien

he says Shrien Dewani called him in man did that his wife was killed

that day. Yet at the precise time, man did that his wife was killed

CCTV footage shows Shrien holding his phone to his left ear, close to

his wife. He shows no sign of agitation. The taxi driver says he

drove them to a restaurant, Anni went in first and then Shrien said

of the job was not done that evening he would kill him. But CCTV footage

shows the three of them walking towards the restaurant together and

it is not Anni who walks in first, but Shrien. The South African

authorities say it would be improper to engage with the media on this

case as it would violate Shrien Dewani's right to a fair trial.

Members of Anni's family have also complained. South African

authorities have called on Shrien Dewani to return to South Africa to

face charges. He remains sectioned Dewani to return to South Africa to

under the Mental Health Act. He is appealing against a ruling in July

by a British judge that he should be extradited to South Africa to stand

trial. If convicted, he faces life imprisonment. And the full

Panorama, The Honeymoon Murder: Who Killed Anni? Is on BBC One tonight.

The number of people who are in work but in poverty is growing, according

to new research. The think tank the Joseph Rowntree Foundation looked at

the situation in Wales. They have found in five years there has been a

15% rise in people who are employed but are still high definition in

poverty. That means an average household living on an income of

£220 her less -- or less per week. Our Welsh correspondent reports from

Pembrokeshire. A quiet village by the sea. Broad

Haven fits many people's idea of a perfect place to raise a family but

it is a place where some people feel trapped. With four mouths to feed,

the Shepherd family have grown to understand what it means to be in

work and in poverty. The tween them, Barbara and Charles' jobs only

guaranteed 29 hours per week on the minimum wage. They receive working

tax credits and benefits from the government but they say what they

really need is more work. It is a lovely place to live but it cannot

support the people who are here. There are not the job saw

opportunities. I want my children to get the best education that they can

so they can get away and get a job which will support them. If that

means moving to a big town or moving away from me, that is what is going

to have to be. But... It is the simple daily costs which proved

difficult. Like heating and hot water. Their home runs on oil but

they cannot afford to buy it. When their house flooded, they did not

have insurance and so had to turn to a charity for help. I do not think

people can believe there is poverty when there is such beauty around,

but because most work is seasonal part-time, there are so few jobs

around. In rural communities, signs of economic growth is hard to find

but unemployment is falling here. The challenge for government in

but unemployment is falling here. Wales I Westminster is to make sure

work brings people out of poverty. Pembrokeshire's MP says that change

is already happening. Clearly, we all want to see average wage levels

rise more than they are doing at the moment but the really positive thing

is that new jobs are being created, the private sector is growing,

business is creating opportunities and what we will see in time is

average wages pick up and hopefully people will see more of a benefit in

their take-home pay. The Welsh government has published an action

plan against poverty offering free childcare and more training, but

what many here really want is the opportunity to earn. That may mean

leaving the countryside behind. Other top story. The Office of Fair

Trading calls for ban on some high pension charges which eat into

people's savings, but campaigners say it is not enough I can't lock

way The Shining. It isn't just inside me, it is me. The author

Stephen King sbg on his personal fears about writing the sequel of

The Shining. Coming up on Sportsday the European

football continues. Tottenham are at home in the Europa League.

He was killed on the battlefield but lay undiscovered for more than five

century, until he was found beneath a car park in the East Midlands. Now

plans have been revealed for a redevelopment of Leicester Cathedral

to house a tomb for King Richard III who died at the Battle of Bosworth

Field in Leicestershire in 1485. His remains were unearthed in car park

in Leicester City centre last year, but there is still no guarantee that

Leicester will be his final but there is still no guarantee that

place. There is an ongoing legal row with the city of York, over where

England's last Plantagenet king should finally be buried. Sian Lloyd

is in Leicester Cathedral for us now.

This could be the final resting place of King Richard III. Today,

Leicester Cathedral announced plans for a £1.3 million tomb, followed by

a further £1 million refurbishment of the Cathedral here.

Despite that, it is still is only a could. That is because there is a

legal wrangle, in the courts. A warlord and the last king of the

house of York. Richard III lived and died by the sword.

But for 500 year, the wrnts of the lost king were unknown. He his

remains were found a year ago, in a shallow grave beneath a car park in

Leicester and the city claimed him as its own.

Inside thrers Cathedral, test drilling is under way. Plans to

reinter-King Richard will involve a major overhaul and they need to be

sheer that the ancient building can withstand it. And in that space...

The Cathedral's burial plans were unveiled today.

These designs show the chancel. A tradition traditional place of

honour will be the site for a raised tomb where a memorial stone lies.

The tomb would be made with Swaledale stone from Yorkshire,

where the king grew up. It involved the very best artists and architects

available. It has involved the national Cathedral authorities and

others giving it many hours of time and consideration, in order to

produce a design which is inspirational, and which will live

in the memories of all who visit here in the years ahead. So

Leicester is pressing ahead, but they have a battle on their hands.

In York, an exhibition celebrates the city's ties to its famous son,

and many believe King Richard should be buried there.

The Plantagenet a alliance have won the right for a judicial review of

the decision by the Ministry of Justice, to grant a licence for the

burial in Leicester. They need to stop what they are doing. They need

to wait for the outcome of the hearing. They shouldn't be

announcing they are going to bury him here when there no decision.

Talk of battle lines is unwelcome at Leicester Cathedral but it looks

like there will be a legal tussle over kitsch Richard in the courts. A

source for the Ministry of Justice said it will defend its position,

backing Leicester's claim to the king.

And the judge who granted the application for that judicial review

suggested that an independent panel of experts should decide. He warned

against War of the Roses part two, but that yet could happen.

Members of the UK Independence Party gather in London for their annual

conference, after their most successful year at the polls. They

had huge gains in the English local elections in May at the expense of

the three main party, our political correspondent spent a day with their

leader, Nigel Farage, in Essex, where the party is trying to win its

first Parliamentary seat. Is there a pub? Can I get a pint? It

is the campaign trail with Nigel Farage.

This time, it is Thurrock in Essex where the Tories won in 2010, but by

a few dozen votes. When it comes to 2015, this is absolutely the ideal

constituency for us. UKIP wants out of the European Union, it wants a

major crackdown on immigration, a simple message, too simple say some

we stopped in the street t It is brave. Nigel can be divisive.

People's minds are on immigration. Thinking about the people coming

into the UK. It is an argument though, I don't think it is a

black-and-white issue. Some say it is populism built on people's fears.

Others say he gets it. Some are still deciding. I don't really

support anyone in particular. We will workdown. It has been a very

good year for UKIP. They have We will workdown. It has been a very

entered what you could say is the mainstream. Now they are trying to

reach out, persuade voters in places like this to go for them. Once you

are in the mainstream people could say aren't you just like everybody

else? Our poll ratings put us as the third biggest party, so in that

sense we remain stream. Does that mean we will become like the rest

and be boundly political correctness from debating things? No. When it

comes to serving up UKIP, one of the big problems is Nigel. It is a one

man band the critics say. So he will step back They will need to see a

team of people. You will have to lay off? Good. I should be delighted. I

would be delighted. Is there a risk? If we get the right people, no. Less

Nigel might help in places like this, because his personal poll

ratings have dropped. Better known policies is might help too. UKIP

wants to cut tax, for everyone. But also stick to the deficit reduction

plan. In the meantime, the party is trying to keep hold of new

supporters as the Tories in particular try to win them back.

It was a book and then a film that sent shivers down the spines of a

generation. Now more than 30 years after he first published The Shining

the author Stephen King has returned with a sequel that picks up the

story in the fictional present day. It is a task that the writer admits

filled him with fear as he explained to our arts editor.

It will never stop, the Overlook burned. And the most terrible of its

rev nans went into the lock boxed, but I can't lock away The Shining,

because it isn't just inside me, it is me. Stephen King reading from his

new book Doctor Sleep which sees him updating his story story. I asked

him of all the hundred os stories he has written why he chose to revisit

him of all the hundred os stories he this one. People asked me what

happened to that kid from The Shining? I have never been someone

who wanted to revisit the past and particularly, really Leary about

revisiting the scary book, file like a lot of people read those books

under the covers with flash lights when they were children themselves,

12, 14, so the fear is that people will come back expecting that scare

as grown up, that never happens. Doctor Sleep starts about a year

after the end of the shine, and then it moves forward -- The Shining,

through Dan Torrance's growing up. I was curious about what would happen

to him, because he was a real child of a dysfunctional family.

Did you like Kubrick's film of The Shining? No. Cold. I am not a cold

guy. I mean, I think one of the things that people relate to in my

books is there is a warmth, there is a reaching out and saying to the

reader, I want you to be a part of this. With Kubrick's The Shining I

felt it was very cold. this. With Kubrick's The Shining I

Whenever you come in here you are braking my concentration. Jack

Torrance in the movie, seems crazy from the jump.

Get away from me. I just want to go back to my room. Shelley Duvall is

one of the most terrible characters on film. She is there to scream and

be stupid. Did you talk to Kubrick about it? I met him on the set. I

was in England. Just on that one meeting, that I thought he was a

very compulsive man. Do you think people are harder to scare then than

back in the '70s? I think it is possible to scare people, in a

really honourable way, if they care about the characters. What I want

the audience to do is to fall in love with these people. That creates

the suspense you need. Love creates horror.

Stephen King survive survived the critics, and being knocked down by a

truck, with Doctor Sleep he has decided to take on his own legacy.

Time for the weather. Some nice warm weather ahead? Yes,

nothing too scary, after what has been a chilly week, that is a bit of

an understatement. Temperatures are been a chilly week, that is a bit of

set to rise. Most of us are going to been a chilly week, that is a bit of

stay dry through the weekend as well. There was a fair bit of rain

round today but that has scooted off into the knot sea. We are left with

a few scattered shower, one or two elsewhere. Most places dry, clear

spell, temperatures dropping down eight and 11 degrees Celsius. So we

start fairly cloudy tomorrow. The cloud is going to be thickest in

western area, one or two spots of rain in north-west Scotland, but for

most it will be a dry day. For most it will be bright enough. We should

get some breaks developing to reveal a bit of sunshine here and there.

Most likely in eastern area, so parts of easterns Scotland. In the

far north-west we will have thicker cloud and a few showers. But in

eastern Scotland it will feel warmer than today. For Northern Ireland we

will see maybe a few breaks in the cloud. A lot of cloud in north-west

England, but to east of the Pennines we should get some sunshine and

temperatures will be a bit higher. A lot of cloud in the Midlands, but

with a bit of sunshine we could -- sun we could get 18 or 19. More

cloud in West Wales and England. We need to look to the south-west for

the weather. High pressure is moving in. Settling things down and keeping

things largely dry. But it is coming up from the south-west, that air, so

it is warm air but it is bringing with it a bit of moisture,

travelling over sea, so that could make for cloudy sky, early on on

Saturday. A bit of light rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Most

of England and Wales dry and again where we see a bit of sunshine, the

temperatures could climb. Sunday, again, a lot of cloud in the west.

Eastern areas favourite for sun, we could see thes back in the '20s.

And that is all from the BBC News.
