four years. It drops to 1.9%. It it could mean families have more to | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
spend, but only if wage rises pick up. To be honest, I haven't noticed, | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
in my actual weekly shop, a great amount of difference than | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
previously. We will look at what the latest inflation figure could mean | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
for the interest on your mortgage. Also tonight: The NHS is going to | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
start collecting information... The NHS publicity campaign that hasn't | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
quite done its job. The plan to share medical records is delayed. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
The legal row over whole life prison terms, top judges rule that the | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
European Court is wrong to say they're a breach of human rights. At | :00:50. | :00:54. | |

THE SPEAKER: , calm yourself man. And, why the Commons speaker thinks | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
politicians behave like public school yobs. Tonight, on BBC London. | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
Building on flood plains. One council rules out the development of | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
thousands of new homes. And, overcrowded and understaffed. An | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
inspection puts the future of Pentonville Prison in doubt. | :01:22. | :01:39. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC's News at Six. For the first | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
time, in four years, the rate of inflation has dropped below the Bank | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
of England target of 2%. That means prices of many every day goods and | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
services are not going up as fast as they were. Now, latest figures show | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
inflation fell to 1.9% in January. Economists say it could ease the | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
pressure on family budgets, especially if recent signs of a rise | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
in wages continues. Here's our chief economics correspondent, Hugh Pym. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
As a slow down in cost of living increases to fast wages and things | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
are looking bet are for workers like these staff at a company which makes | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
equipment for the oil and gas industry. After a difficult year in | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
2012, it's growing fast, so so can afford to increase wages well above | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
the rate of inflation. We have given a pay increase of 3% to all our UK | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
staff. That is testament to the fact the way we are looking at the world | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
and the way that we look at our business here in the UK is much more | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
positive than it has been for some time. One of the staff is pleased | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
with the pay rise,, he is cautious about her budget because of cost | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
pressures she faces. Just the additional cost every day of taking | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
a train is huge. And, I have to say, when I'm in the supermarket, | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
nowadays, I look at the cost of things. I can't remember what the | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
original price is, I'm sure it was cheaper than what I'm paying now. | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
Workers haven't been as lucky as these, as their pay has lagged | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
behind the cost of living. Figures from across the economy reveal a pay | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
squeeze. Average wage rises were well above inflation for several | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
years until 2008. Since then, they have fallen below cost of living | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
increases, meaning that spending power has been hit. A fall in the | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
price of fuel was a factor in the inflation rate dropping in January, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
so too high street price cuts for TV's and highify. Most economists | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
expect inflation to stay around 2% or below for the rest of this year, | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
with wage rises moving ahead of that. So ending the squeeze on | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
household budgets. Many shoppers will feel they will only believe it | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
when they see it. Lower inflation make it is easier for the Bank of | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
England to keep interest rates on hold. Though savers may not be | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
pleased to hear. That We expect inflation to stay low for the the | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
rest of this year. Probably, around or slightly lower than 2%, through | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
it 2014. This is good news for interest rates, it suggests that | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
rates won't have to rise this year. House prices are not included in the | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
main measure of inflation. Figures show an increase of 5.5% in the year | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
to December with big variations around the country. The average UK | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
price has now hit ?250,000. Hugh Pym, BBC News. A major project, | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
which would allow anonymous medical records from GPs to be shared with | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
organisations outside the NHS, is to be delayed by six months. The care | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
database, as it's being called, was due to begin operating in April. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
There are concerns that people have been left in the dark and that's | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
despite a publicity campaign. Our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
reports. The NHS will start collect collecting information... Sharing GP | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
patient records is a controversial project but has huge benefits of | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
improving the care in the United Kingdom. This new scheme would | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
extend the system to GP surgeries, but NHS England have announced a six | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
month delay. We listened to patients and the public, who told us over the | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
last few weeks they needed more time to be able to understand the | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
benefits of this really important data sharing initiative in the NHS. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
In particular, we listened to GPs. The care.data scheme will include | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
sharing confidential but anonymise surveys from GP surgeries. It will | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
examine the impact of new drugs. This is a scheme that will affect | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
every single NHS patient in England. Many doctors, researchers and | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
medical charities support the idea of sharing information across the | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
system to improve the quality of care. The problem though seems to | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
lie in how it is being -- sold to us, the public. Do you remember know | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
about this scheme to share GP patient records, have you heard | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
about it? No, into the all. Not heard of it, sorry. I don't think | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
the Government have a very good record for computerisation, | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
unfortunately. But I think if we get it off the ground, I think it it | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
could work. There are those who worry how the confidential medical | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
records will be used. The team need to do much more to know patients | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
know what their choices are and that the risk involved in this scheme to | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
their privacy are very real. NHS England says it has listened to the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
concerns raised about the sharing of information. Delaying the launch of | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
the care.data programme may give more time for patients to become | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
better informed about the benefits and risks of sharing their | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
confidential medical records. Our medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh, | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
is here with me. Why is this kind of database important, Fergus? For 25 | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
years hospitals have collected huge amounts of data about death rates | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
and outcomes. That has been centralised. That's helped reveal | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
things like the scale of the scandal at Mid Staffs Hospital. Virtually, | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
no data is collected on what happens in your GP surgery. This is an | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
attempt to have a complete picture. It would involve the uploading of | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
confidential medical records to a central database. That would be then | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
largely stripped of personalised information. Your name and where you | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
live. It would allow researchers to track the affects of new drugs and | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
answer difficult questions like, why are cancer survival rates lag behind | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
those of many other countries. We saw in Dominic's report there are | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
people who are concerned about all of this? Absolutely. In the past few | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
years people have got a lot more suspicious about who holds their | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
data and there have been lots of examples from banks to governments | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
about big organisations not always being good at protecting our | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
information. There is concern if private firms, like drug companies, | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
have access to this, we could have breaches. In the end, it comes down | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
to trust. Do you trust the NHS to protect your data? NHS England would | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
say that over the past 25 years there's never been an example of | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
similar data being breached in anyone's confidentiality being | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
compromised. Charities say, from cancer to heart disease, it's | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
absolutely essentialal this data is collected if we're to improve | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
outcomes. Fergus, thank you very much. Thank you. The Court of Appeal | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
has upheld the right of judges in England and Wales to give whole-life | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
sentences to the most serious offenders. Last year, the European | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Court of Human Rights ruled that life terms were a breach of a | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
prisoner's human rights. Here's our home affairs correspondent, June | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
Kelly. Bhit They are some of the most notorious names in recent | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
criminal history. Amongst them the Mors murder, Ironawayy, Rose West. | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
Just three of the 53 lifers in England and Wales who have been told | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
they will die as prisoners. After the European Court of Human Rights | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
became involved in this issue last year, the question was - could | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
judges here still impose whole life terms? Today, the Appeal Court made | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
it clear, they could. Judges should, therefore, continue as they have | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
done to impose whole life orders in those rare and exceptional cases | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
which fall within the statutory scheme. Georgia I will Williams from | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
sclorp shire was murdered last May. Her killer, Jamie Reynolds, carried | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
out what was described as "a sadistic and sexually motivated | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
crime." At he was given a Whole Life Term. Relief for her family at | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
today's ruling. To subject victims, victim's parents to the knowledge | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
that one day the perpetrator of the murder of their child, relative, | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
might get out and live a normal life is just unthinkable. The European | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
Court of Human Rights didn't say whole life tariffs should be banned, | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
but it did say these prisoners should have a right to have their | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
sentences reviewed. Today, the judges here said the Court of Human | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
Rights had got this wrong. They said the current system already allowed | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
for the possibility of release in exceptional circumstances. This | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
ruling today say there is is more hope than the Government was | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
prepared in 2010 to say existed, that compassion is much broader. | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
Nine months ago, on this south London street, was a barbaric | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
killing which caused revulsion across the country. Two men drove | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
their carat Fusilier Lee Rigby and then butchered his body, attempting | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
to behead him. The sentencing of his killers had been postponed until | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
today's rulings. This afternoon it was announced that sentencing of | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale will take place next | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Wednesday. The judge in their case could now hand down whole life | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
terms. June Kelly, BBC News. There have been violent clashes between | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
protesters and police in Ukraine's capital, Kiev, at least nine people, | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
including two policemen have been killed. Police used rubber bullets | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
and stun grenades to stop thousands of protesters marching on | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
parliament. As our diplomatic correspondent, bridge he the Kendall | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
reports, it's an escalating crisis on the edge of Europe. A new and | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
deadly phase in the fight for Ukraine's future. The The police | :11:54. | :12:04. | |
rehe talliating with rubber bullets, stun grenades and reportedly live | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
ammunition the worst violence for weeks turning the centre of the | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
capital, Kiev, into a virtual war zone. The clashes lasted for hours. | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
On both sides there have been deaths and dozens reported injured. Here, a | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
wounded demonstrator being helped by colleagues. Here, a policeman being | :12:29. | :12:39. | |
hurried to safety. Unrest has paralysed the centre of Kiev for | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
months, ever since President Viktor Yanukovych rejected a far-reaching | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
trade deal with EU in favour of closer ties with Russia. Yesterday, | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
it looked as though tensions were subsiding, there were signs ever of | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
a clean-up as protesters agreed to vacate some government buildings in | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
return for an amnesty against prosecution. But then today, in | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
parliament, scuffles broke out. When opposition MPs found their attempted | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
debate changing the constitution was blocked by government supporters. | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
Before long, the trouble on the streets had restarted in earnest. | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
Maybe fuelled by radical protesters, but some fear government | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
provocateurs providing the pretext for a crackdown. As night fell an | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
uneasy quiet descended on the central square. A deadline set by | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
security forces to restore order has passed. Talks between the opposition | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
and the President are set for tomorrow. It's unclear what might | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
happen before then. Bridget Kendall, BBC News. The time is nearly 6. | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
14pm. Inflation has dropped to 1.9%. It's now below the Bank of England's | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
target for the first time in four years. Still to come. The murder of | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
a British family in the French Alps, police have arrested a man. Later on | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
BBC London, a mother's fight to get her children returned from Russia. | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
Why authorities there are being accused of failing to help. And, can | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
you fix it? The repair parties which could save you buying a new phone or | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
laptop. There might be some respite from the | :14:27. | :14:36. | |
severe weather, but thousands of homeowners and businesses have been | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
left with a hefty clean-up bill. Insurance bosses met ministers at | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
Downing Street to discuss how best to help the victims. So far around | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
?14 million has been paid out in emergency payments. The total cost | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
to insurers is expected to amount to more than ?1 billion. From the | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
Somerset Levels, John Kay sent this report. I dread the idea of going | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
back and seeing things float being in there. | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
All John can do is paint his house. He can't live in it's because of | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
flooding. He hopes his insurance company will pay out quickly so he | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
can get back home. They need to have the dehumidifiers ready to go. It is | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
no good saying, oh, well, we are short of them. We can't do the work | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
until it is dry. They need to be able to get their kit ready for the | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
day when it can be used. This afternoon, with the help of an | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
amphibious vehicle, we managed to get to his flooded cottage. It is | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
not a pretty sight. It could be weeks before loss adjusters can even | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
get in here to assess the damage. So many of John's neighbours in the | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
flooded Somerset village are in exactly the same position. In this | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
one village alone, house after house after house has been flooded. It | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
makes you wonder what the total issue wouldn't claim for these | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
winter floods is going to be. That is the question asked in Whitehall | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
today. Bosses hear from some of the UK's biggest insurance firms were | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
asked to explain their handling of recent flood plains. Afterwards, | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
they defended their work so far and promised fairness in the future. We | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
have been paying out millions in emergency amounts to people to get | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
them over the immediate problems they face in terms of alternative | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
accommodation and the like. Now we have to go online deal with things | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
effectively. Genet is not convinced. Her home in Surrey flooded at | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
Christmas. Her insurer refused to put her up in a hotel because she | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
lived with -- within 200 metres of a river. Then contract has left her | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
furniture and appliances outside, where they were taken by passers-by. | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
I said I could not believe it to the loss adjuster, that I had paid my | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
insurance for so many years. But there was no discussion. Insurers | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
say their response so far has been very strong. Even without more bad | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
weather, the flooding could cost them ?1 billion. But for homeowners, | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
there is another question - of the clear up, what will happen to next | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
year's policies and premiums? French police investigating the | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
murders of three members of a British family in the Alps in 2012 | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
have arrested a man. He was detained after the publication of a photo-fit | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
picture of a motorcyclist seen near the scene. Saad al-Hilli, his wife | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
and her mother were shot dead on a remote road near Annecy. Their two | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
daughters survived. Christian Fraser is in Annecy. | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
Give us the background, then, to this arrest. As you know, I have | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
been following this investigation since September, 2012, for almost 18 | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
months police having come up with nothing. Today, perhaps a | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
significant breakthrough. We are on the shore of Lake Annecy, about six | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
miles from the murder scene. The man they have arrested is a 48-year-old | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Frenchman, a former police officer who was sacked from the police force | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
last June. Tonight, a lot of activity here in the village. We | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
have seen some police cars going backwards and forwards. We | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
understand they are searching the garden of this house with metal | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
detectors. We don't know what they are looking for. Nor do we know what | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
the line of enquiry is, whether he is a suspect or whether he is being | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
interviewed as a witness. They are being particularly cautious about | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
it. The prosecutor has refused to give any statesman. In fact he has | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
threatened to sue any other French media that name the man. Already, | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
information is starting to leak out as to why he might prove | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
significant. It really comes down to the timeline. The chief witness in | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
the case, the RAF man, the cyclist, the British cyclist, who was their | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
first on the scene, told police that he had seen a motorbike and a grey | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
BMW coming down the road as he was approaching the murder scene. He was | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
able to give some description. The Photofit image which a member of the | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
public has responded to today shows a man in a helmet. It is a black | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
helmet. I understand it is quite a rare model, perhaps only around 8000 | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
were made. It has a mouth guard that pulls to the side so the rider can | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
speak to somebody without taking the helmet off. That is significant | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
because three foresters who are around the scene before and after | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
also saw this motorcyclist and they got a glimpse of his face. I | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
understand that the man they have arrested tonight has a striking is | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
to the image they provided, notably the goatee beard. | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
A six-day-old baby who died at a house where a dog was later seized | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
has been named as Eliza-Mae Mullane. Police officers were called to a | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
home in Carmarthenshire this morning. Eliza-Mae was airlifted to | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff but was later pronounced | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
dead. An Alaskan Malamute dog, which is not a banned breed, has been | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
taken away. Hywel Griffith reports. Flowers for a family who should | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
still be celebrating its new addition. Police and paramedics | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
rushed to this quiet village this morning to try to save six-day old | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
Eliza-Mae. They found her mother distraught after she had discovered | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
her daughter severely injured alongside one of the family's dogs. | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
The baby was airlifted to hospital but couldn't be revived. The little | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
girl is six days old and it is a tragic incident. As part of the | :20:52. | :21:00. | |
enquiry, we have seized the family dog. It is an Alaskan and it -- | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
Alaskan Malamute dog currently in police possession. Alaskan | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
Malamutes do not come under the dangerous dogs act. A neighbour told | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
me she had found the family's pets to be friendly. My granddaughter has | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
stroked it when it has been outside. I didn't realise it was their dog. | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
Didn't seem any bother at all with the little one. The family has spent | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
the day at the hospital. Friends are simply stand. Devastated. I don't | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
think they will get over it. Six days old, bundle of joy. It is | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
horrible. Tonight the police are continuing their investigations, | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
speaking to neighbours in the street and carrying out the details and | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
examination of the house as they try to establish what led to this little | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
girl's death. Noisy, aggressive and childish - | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
just some of the words used by people asked to describe what they | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
think of Prime Minister's Questions. Now the Speaker of the House of | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
Commons, John Bercow, has told David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
to do something about what he called the yobbery of their MPs. Our deputy | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
political editor, James Landale, reports. | :22:18. | :22:29. | |
He mentions Lady Thatcher. Unlike him she was a Tory leader who won an | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
election. Calm yourself! Take up yoga! To some it is Parliament at | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
its best. To others it is juvenile knock-about stuff. The Punch and | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
Judy that turns people off politics. You would think that they were pack | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
of drunks just rolling out of the rugby club with less swearing. All | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
of the jeering and shouting, the insults... Now the speaker has lit | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
-- written to the party leaders to say it has stopped -- has to stop. | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
In his letter, he says Annie report raises serious concerns about Prime | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
Minister's, particularly the auction - macro orchestrated barracking. He | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
said the atmosphere was very mild manner very testosterone fuelled, | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
and in the worst cases just yobbery. I don't think it is a great advert | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
for politics or Parliament and most people would agree with that. I am | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
very happy and welcome any initiative to look at these issues. | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
Some MPs think he is himself partly to blame for his intervention is an | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
occasional failure to keep order. I think that what I would like to see | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
the Speaker do is send people out of the chamber who are the worst | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
offenders. Many MPs think that all this is a vital way of holding the | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
executive to account. But that is their view from within the chamber. | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
If you watch it on TV, it can look very different. It does give the | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
impression of Earth bunch of guys having a go at it other. People do | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
feel strongly about certain things and will become aggressive if they | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
feel strongly. You want passion but not uncontrolled. There has been | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
talk of ending the argy-bargy of Prime Minister's Questions since it | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
began 50 years ago. What are the chances now? I would say almost | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
exactly no chance at all. Fever has announced that it will | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
keep the Curitiba Stadium. There were concerns that it would not be | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
ready in time. It doesn't look like a ground that | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
will be ready to host World Cup matches in just four months. Ever | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
since FIFA took the highly neutral move of public threatening to | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
exclude the stadium, they have thrown everything at this place to | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
try to avoid the stigma of being the first ground ever to be excluded | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
from the World Cup. Brazil has had seven years to get the stadium is | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
built and delivered on time. Curitiba is just one of six venues | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
that Mr strict deadline to be ready. The whole process has been | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
embarrassing and has sorely tested relations between FIFA and Brazil. | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
As bad as it looks, organisers say they have done everything demanded | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
by the first since it ultimatum. The stadium has moved forward, we have | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
done two months work in 15 days, says the head of the local | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
coordination committee. There is now grass and the roof was on the | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
stadium has completely changed. It is the same story of delays across | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
Brazil. In men else, where England to their first game, and Sao Paulo, | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
where two workers were killed. Accidents, bureaucracy and the lack | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
of urgency are all to blame. Ironically, Curitiba is normally one | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
of Brazil's most organised the cities. The locals are not | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
impressed. It is a waste of money because it could be used on a lot of | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
things that we need more than the World Cup. Money should be spent on | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
hospitals and education instead. There is a lot of corruption in | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
Brazil. Brazil will eventually get behind the World Cup, but for a | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
country trying to build a global reputation, this has been an | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
accountable process from which lessons have to be learned. -- | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
uncomfortable. That brings us to the weather. Another day of relative | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
calm to calm but a bit more rain to come by the time we get to Thursday. | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
As we look at tomorrow, though, we concentrate that most places should | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
be right. We have got a few heavy showers at the moment. They should | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
persist. Some patchy rain in parts of Scotland reading through wealth | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
and the Midlands into the early hours. -- feeding through Wales. | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
Showers are light first thing. Temperature start that around six or | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
seven degrees. We could have some clever spells in parts of northern | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
England. For Northern Ireland and Scotland, another grey, misty, murky | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
start to the day with some patchy and light rain. Throughout the day, | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
many northern areas keep this cloud. I am hopeful that further south, for | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
central and eastern areas, we could get some holes in the cloud. With | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
those light winds, temperatures will be similar to this afternoon. Across | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
southern areas, once again we are getting into double figures. Further | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
north, we have got temperatures at eight or nine. You can just odd to | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
see the rain arriving later on in the afternoon. Ahead of it, it tends | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
murky to the south-west, with some mist and fog here. But as the rain | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
swings in, it looks like the head it will be to the north-west of the | :28:12. | :28:14. | |
country, clearing during the mooning -- morning on Thursday, and | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
accompanied by some strong winds, it stays blustery into the afternoon. A | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
bit of sunshine in between. Overall, it stays unsettled for | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
Friday and into the weekend. Low pressure never too far away. We are | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
just expecting it to be quite breezy at times, blowing in a fair few | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
showers, and again, most of them in western areas are a bit further | :28:36. | :28:37. | |
east. western areas are a bit further | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
That's all from | :28:44. | :28:44. |
