The Prime Minister unveils his biggest ever cabinet reshuffle | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
- with some surprises. Michael Gove does get a new job - | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
but was it what he was expecting? No longer Education Secretary, | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
now Chief Whip. Nicky Morgan takes over as | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Education Secretary, one of two new women in the cabinet. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
I think it is a team that reflects modern Britain and it's only | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
by reflecting modern Britain that we'll get the best for our country. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
We'll be looking at the key changes in the reshuffle | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
and their political impact. Also tonight. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Hopes of a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants are dashed | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
as more missiles are fired into Israel. | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
There are about 20 firefighters here, they think the rocket landed | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
over there. They are tried to hold back the fire because they are | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
worried about the fuel tanks. Bringing down the cost of payday | :00:58. | :01:01. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
It's the most significant reshuffle of his cabinet since the prime | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
minister came to power, and with ten months until the general election, | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
David Cameron has unveiled a line up with a very different look. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
He's swept away some of the old guard, increased | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
the number of women in cabinet from three to five and, in the biggest | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
surprise, moved Michael Gove from his job as Education Secretary. | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
He now becomes chief whip. His replacement, Nicky Morgan, who's | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
only been a minister for 9 months. William Hague will be replaced as | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Foreign Secretary by Philip Hammond. He vacates his job as Defence | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Secretary to make way for former energy minister Michael Fallon. | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
Here's our Political Editor Nick Robinson. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
We counted them in and we counted them out. The minister sacked or | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
moved today, mostly men, and the ones promoted, some of them were | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
women. In a reshuffle bigger and more wide-ranging than anybody | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
expected. The big surprise of the day was the promotion of this woman, | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Nicky Morgan, the first of three to get significant promotions. She got | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
Michael Gove's job. Michael is saying goodbye after four years in | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
charge of English schools, after picking one too many fights with | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
teachers, the Liberal Democrats and even his own Cabinet colleagues. | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
Outside the Department for Education today, one teacher spoke for the | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
many who hoped that the new minister in charge would be less | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
confrontational. His attitude towards the unions was not very | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
good, not very constructive, oppositional, yes, it is a good | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
change. Hopefully somebody that comes along willing to work with the | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
unions. If you think you have seen the last of Michael Gove think | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
again. He has got a new job as Chief Whip in charge of discipline, among | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
the Tory MPs, and we are told, is the government 's public face. On | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
television. This is a demotion? I do not regard it as much, it is a | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
wrench to leave a job I enjoy but I regard this as an exciting and | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
flattering opportunity to contribute at the heart of government. The | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
teachers are celebrating, he has gone! Sorts of reasons. His boss | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
says he wants his friend by his side in the run-up to the election. I | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
wanted one of my big hitters and my real stars, my great political | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
brains, somebody who has done extraordinary things Bridge occasion | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
to do that job, to deliver the programme and to secure the future. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
to do that job, to deliver the Just as significant on the day | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
off their finest at Farnborough, a off their finest at Farnborough, a | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
change to the ministers in charge of Britain if we are ever at war again. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
The new Defence Secretary Britain if we are ever at war again. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Fallon, replacing Philip Hammond, the new Foreign Secretary. Tories | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
say he is more Eurosceptic even than William Hague. He once said he would | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
vote to leave the EU if it could not be reformed. I do not think the way | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
to enter negotiations is to issue threat, the way to enter is to look | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
for the areas where we do agree, and there are many issues where Britain | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
is not isolated, where there are other members of the European Union | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
that also understand the need for reform. Is for William Hague he will | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
be spending much more time at home. As Leader of the Commons and another | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
key figure in their pre-election campaign -- is for him. What of the | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
promised that more women would take their place at the top table? Liz | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Truss will be needing her wellies as the new Environment Secretary, and | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
this is the new leader of the House of Lords. Welfare Minister Esther | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
McVey will only attend Cabinet, but hers is a face and a voice you will | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
soon be familiar with. We all have dreams. The former television | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
reporter will deploy her on-screen talent is trying to sell the | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Conservatives to the country. She will be helped by other women | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
promoted today to jobs one rung below the Cabinet. He has promoted | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
on the basis of their talent. This is the most important thing. Labour | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
are not impressed. Politics has to look and sound like Britain, and | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
three quarters of the Cabinet are men, it falls short. Look at the | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Labour Party, half and half men and women. There was one other important | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
announcement, on the day the European Parliament confirmed | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
Jean-Claude Juncker, a man David Cameron try to stop, is the top man | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
in Brussels, Lord Hill, who was Leader of the Lords, will now work | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
with him, as Britain's European Commissioner. Any reshuffle | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
with him, as Britain's European usually goes wrong in some way, the | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
worst that happened today was a new cabinet minister trying to get into | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
the wrong car. The worst so far, that is. | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
During his four years as Education Secretary, Michael Gove was one of | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
the most radical and controversial members of the cabinet. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
As well as bringing in major changes to exams and the curriculum, | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
he introduced free-schools. But Mr Gove's appetite | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
for reform alienated many teachers. Our Education correspondent | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Alex Forsythe went to a school in south London to gauge reaction | :06:54. | :06:54. | |
to Mr Gove's departure. Our Education correspondent | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Alex Forsythe went to a school It is in classrooms that the changes | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
wrought by Michael Gove have been most keenly felt. In four years in | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
charge he has relentlessly followed his vision for education. Changing | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
not only what happens in schools, but also the way that they are run. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Attracting both support and criticism along the way. Michael | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
Gove has become a figure that you love or hate, allowing his | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
personality, the way he presents his policies to become the central | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
issue. But it is his policies that Michael Gove will want to be | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
remembered for. He introduced free schools which have more say over | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
what they can teach. The expanded Academy 's free from council control | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
and he toughened up GCSE and A-level exams. His detractors accused him of | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
changing too much too quickly. He is intensely disliked by teaching | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
unions, who today celebrated his departure. I think Michael Gove is | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
the most popular Secretary of State for education with teachers and | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
those that work in education I have ever seen. But those in favour of | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
Michael Gove's reforms are just as enthusiastic in their backing. | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
Already almost 200 free schools are open, while some controversial, most | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
are oversubscribed, it is just what some supporters see is his legacy. | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
He has been looking to drive up standards. There are no more changes | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
he can make, he has been a great force for change in education, it is | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
better to go on to go onto something else. Now he has moved on and this | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
is his replacement, Nicky Morgan. A former Treasury Minister with a | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
young son, who's risen quickly and quietly in Westminster since she was | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
acted in 2010. It is unlikely Nicky Morgan will undo Michael Gove's | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
reforms, in fact it is thought he is a supporter -- she's a supporter. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
With less than one year until the general election, there's no doubt | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
it is hoped having somebody less controversial will help win back | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
some support, not least from teachers. | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
to Mr Gove's departure. Nick Robinson is in Downing Street. | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
At Westminster, rather. David Cameron were saying, the new cabinet | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
reflects modern Britain. I gather there is a row about this already? | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
There is, I said at the end of my report nothing had gone wrong save a | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
minister getting in the wrong car. It has now gone wrong. One of those | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
women, appointed to an important job, leader of the House of Lords, | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
Tina stole, it emerged she was not a full member of the Cabinet. So what | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
you might say, she still gets to go to the Cabinet. Until it emerged she | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
was paid less, less than her male predecessor. On the day you are | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
trying to impress by employing more women, and putting them around the | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
top table, it is not the ideal signal to send. In the last few | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
minutes it has emerged the Conservative Party will top up | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
official funding to make sure that the lead of the Lords is paid the | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
same as her predecessor. Official civil service rules put a limit on | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
the number of people that can have full Cabinet jobs and a limit on the | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
amount of money that therefore can be spent. It is a reminder, that so | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
much of this reshuffle is looking ahead to the next general election. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Dealing with problems, Michael Gove had become a problem in education. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
And also strengthening the voices and the faces and the image if you | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
like of the Conservative Party. But before you dismiss it all, is so | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
much windowdressing, remember tonight, in England at least, there | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
is a new Minister for schools. There is for the whole of the UK a new | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
Defence Secretary and a new Foreign Secretary, these are men and women | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
who will take decisions that will affect all of our lives. Thank you | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
for joining us. What looked | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
like a possible ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants has | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
proved a forlorn hope. After seven days of violence, | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
Israel had accepted a ceasefire if missile attacks from Gaza stopped. | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
They didn't - and Israel retaliated. The new Egyptian government | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
attempted to broker the truce. The ceasefire should've have started | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
this morning at nine local time. Israel agreed it | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
and ceased fire just before then. But the militant group Hamas | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
rejected the plan - they still want prisoners released and an end to | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Israel Egypt's blockade of Gaza. They've continued to fire | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
missiles at Israel. One place hit was the southern | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Israeli city of Ashkelon. Quentin Sommerville was there. | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Bringing the battle between Israel and Hamas under control was never | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
going to be easy. SHOUTING By the early afternoon the | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
cease-fire plans were already in ruins. A rocket from Gaza narrowly | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
missed this Israel fuel depot, one of dozens launched while Israel | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
observed the truce. There are about 20 firefighters here, they think the | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
rocket landed somewhere over there. They are trying to hold back the | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
fire because they are worried about fuel tanks over there. They are | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
dousing the area with water trying to stop it from spreading. It is | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
about four hours since Israel agreed to the Egyptian cease-fire | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
proposals, Hamas says it was not even a party to the talks. The | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
rockets continue to hit Israel. They soon found the remains of the | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
rocket, it had been intercepted by an Israeli missile. TRANSLATION | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
We know the other side is not interested in a cease-fire, we can | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
see that, we are prepared for normal fighting to resume. EXPLOSIONS | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
Resume it did, Israel hit Gaza with more than half a dozen air strikes, | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
yet more Palestinians were killed. The cease-fire was over in six | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
hours, Hamas says it was not genuine from the start. TRANSLATION | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
The cease-fire proposal was discussed by everybody apart from | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
us, Kerry, Benjamin Netanyahu, Egypt, but not Hamas. We will | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
continue fighting, to better our conditions. This cease-fire proposal | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
is like an ambush. From the Israeli side of the boars are -- of the | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
border, this man has a farm. By the afternoon the rockets and the bombs | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
were flying both ways. Violence gives more violence and more | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
violence. This failed cease-fire or will make things even worse. | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
Quentin Sommerville was there. And there are a series | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
of special reports on the Middle East crisis on the BBC website, | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
including all the background, and guides to the key players - | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
that's at bbc.co.uk/middleeast There's been an unexpected | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
and sharp rise in inflation. It rose from 1.5% in May to 1.9% | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
in June - which could increase the prospect of | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
interest rates going up this year. And UK house priced keep rising. | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Our Economics Correspondent Simon Jack is with me. | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
What has been driving the spike in inflation? The weather, what has it | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
got to do with that, well clothing and footwear were some of the | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
reasons that prices have risen. Retailers, because the weather has | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
been nice, they have been holding off on the clearance sales, whereas | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
last year we went earlier, we are comparing June prices this year, | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
with prices last year which make them seem more expensive. Looking at | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
this trend, it has been markedly down. You can see the spike we are | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
talking about, a couple of reasons this could be temporarily. The | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
effect we have talked about will reverse next month when we get the | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
July sale prices. The pound is very strong against other currencies, | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
everything we import, will get much cheaper. What will the Bank of | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
England make of this? Even at 1.9% it is below the official target of | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
2%, yes they are worried about house prices but they are taking separate | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
action. Will this change the timing, probably not, best guess, end of | :15:13. | :15:13. | |
this year. Children at a school in Bradford are | :15:14. | :15:27. | |
at possible risk of Islamic extremism, according to a leaked | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
OFSTED report seen by the BBC. The report suggests that, amongst | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
other things, governors at the school wanted to restrict Religious | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
Education courses solely to Islam. Carlton Bolling college is | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
a secondary school with an overwhelmingly Muslim intake. | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
Bradford Council denies there is an Islamic agenda in any of its schools | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
but says it is moving to replace the school's governing body. | :15:44. | :15:44. | |
Ed Thomas reports:. Are said to be at risk of Islamic | :15:45. | :15:53. | |
extremism, the report says that: In response, the leader of Bradford | :15:54. | :16:22. | |
Council says that he will replace the governors. I am upset that we | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
seem to have a governing body that was allowing the educational needs | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
of the young people to be de-prioritised. Has this city got a | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
grip of its schools? We have a grip for all of the schools for which we | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
are responsible. The BBC has spoken exclusively to a former governor at | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
the college, because she is worried about Jos? V, we have protected her | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
identity. It is a secular state school, it is not a state school -- | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
faith school. -- because she is worried about her safety. This | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
report says the school and its leadership and governing body are | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
inadequate, it says that some decisions taken near accommodate | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Muslim pupils and do not take account of a small group of Eastern | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
European and white British children. This is the chair of the governors | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
of the college, he was not available for an interview but he told us that | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
the Ofsted report was full of inaccuracies. And all of | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
the Ofsted report was full of only weeks after inspectors said | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
that some academy schools in Birmingham were vulnerable to | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
extremism. But in Bradford, some said that this was a good school. | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
Does this school have an Islamic agenda? No, no problem at all. It | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
seems to be an Islamic bomb has gone off all of a sudden all over the | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
world, all over schools. Do you think Muslims are being victimised? | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
Definitely. The Department for Education has confirmed it has | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
received an application to remove the governing body and is | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
considering what to do next. Top story this evening: David | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
Cameron reshuffled his cabinet in a surprisingly, Michael Gove leaves | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
his job as Education Secretary. Still to come: Shooting for gold, | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
Scotland's hope for a medal at the Commonwealth Games next week. Coming | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
up later: to end the sale of cheap | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
super-strength alcohol. And, race for fitness, illness could mean a | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
no-show for Mo Farah at the Commonwealth Games. | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
People using payday lenders are to see the cost of borrowing fall | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
significantly from next year. The Financial Conduct Authority is | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
proposing a cap which means no one will have to pay more than ?24 | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
a month for a 100 pound loan. It also says penalties | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
for late payments should be limited to just ?15. | :19:21. | :19:21. | |
Swansea, thousands of lives here have been blighted by excessive high | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
cost payday debts, aggrieved borrowers indices out city have been | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
demanding a cap on costs. We managed to get a lot of the payday companies | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
to stop but we need more control. This mother of two lead the campaign | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
in Swansea after the shock of borrowing for Christmas and seeing | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
her debt spiral when she had trouble paying back. I was depressed, I went | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
into a depression, I would not leave the house, I would not speak to | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
anybody. How much more than you borrowed did you have to pay back? | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
Sometimes double the amount, sometimes more with the late judges | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
I would pay back on top. If you wanted to borrow ?100, until | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
payday... This is how the costs will mount up: Typically that would cost | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
you ?30, and more than ?70 in plenty of cases, if you agreed to extend | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
it, and even more than ?90 in sum, if you paid the money back a couple | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
of weeks late. The point of the cap is to prevent all of those charges | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
from going too high. Were taken to see a group of mothers | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
who have lobbied the Council, the Welsh assembly and Labour MPs | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
against the lenders. They think the price cap should be even tighter. I | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
think they should be charging at least half of what they are | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
charging. This and this man... We showed them what the payday industry | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
is saying: Lenders will close and borrowers will end up with loan | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
sharks. What is going to happen to those people when they need to pay | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
bills and get access to quick cash? They will be turning to illegal | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
lenders, they will be turning to those operating outside of the UK. I | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
disagree with what he's saying, people have more sense than to go to | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
loan sharks, they just need to bring their interest rates down to a | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
reasonable level. So that it is affordable. Payday burden is | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
shrinking here, because some operators have stopped offering the | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
loans, the cap is likely to what about 40% of the industry. -- the | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
new cap is likely to wipe out. Some Premier League football clubs | :21:33. | :21:41. | |
have been accused in parliament failing to sell season tickets to | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
disable supporters because available accessible seating. The 11 time | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
Paralympic gold medallist Tony Grey Thompson said Manchester United was | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
one of the clubs falling short. It said today that it catered for all | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
categories of disabled fans. What we have here is a debate, not just | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
about access to tickets but the kind of tickets disable fans have | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
available to them. -- Tanni Grey-Thompson. It boils down to a | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
lack of urgency to address the issue and a lack of disabled places in | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
Premier League football ground. They are one of the richest and most | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
recognisable clubs in the world, but in the week that Manchester United | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
signed a record kit deal worth ?750 million, they have been accused by | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
one of the most high-profile former athletes and campaigners in the | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
country of letting down disabled fans. Some clubs are treating | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
disabled fans very unfairly, they are discriminatory, it is hard to | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
pin them down, it has some of them are behind-the-scenes. But I would | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
just say, across the board, the vast majority of Premier League clubs are | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
not being fair to disabled people. In March the BBC revealed that only | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
tree Premier League clubs offered the required number of wheelchair | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
spaces, today's debate has shifted the focus on the provision of | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
tickets, where several clubs have different policies for disabled and | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
non-disabled supporters. They had of the arrival of the club 's new | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
manager, Louis van Gaal, Manchester United have announced they have sold | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
out of all 55,000 season tickets in record time, giving those fans | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
access to all home games. New season tickets are not available to the | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
disabled supporters, instead, they must join a row to skin, giving them | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
access to one in three games. Manchester United have said in a | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
statement: -- Campaigners are arguing that | :23:43. | :24:02. | |
providing more spaces would allow supporters and equal opportunity to | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
support their team, supporters and equal opportunity to | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
has called on clubs to do better. With the Premier League now richer | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
than ever, the call for change is growing louder. | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
Next week sees the start of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
one of the hosts great hopes is Jen McIntosh, the rifle shooter is | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
hoping to defend her two gold medals, which she won at the games | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
in Delhi, four years ago. Pretty good at being cool and calm | :24:26. | :24:35. | |
and collected when I need to be. I really do thrive under pressure. The | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
same thing keeps driving you, you want to keep winning medals. As the | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
eyes of the Commonwealth fall on Glasgow, one of Scotland's brightest | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
medal hopes says she is ready. Ready to rise to home nation expectations. | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
Relaxing away from the range, she admits that it is a pressure that he | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
relishes. It drives me a little bit more, it makes me work harder. It | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
pushes me that tiny little extra bit. It will make a big difference | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
at the end of the day. I have always been around the Commonwealth games. | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
My mum won her first medal in 1994, I was three years old. It has been | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
more of those things that has always been around. I always wanted to be | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
like her. Being like her makes her part of Scottish shooting royalty, | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
her father is the team Scotland coach. It is a balance of excitement | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
and pride and apprehension, litigation and feels like I was back | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
doing it myself. Her mother has four medals. It is far more nerve | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
wracking than when I was competing, sitting in the sidelines and not | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
being able it is quite scary! Now her younger sister, Shona, is the | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
latest Macintosh to make the grade. When I was younger I do not want to | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
shoot because it was there a thing but she came back with medals and I | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
wanted one! This year they will go head-to-head. My baby sister, five | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
years younger, I do feel protective of her, I love her dearly, but at | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
the end of the day, Commonwealth games, she is just another athlete | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
and I need to separate that. Double gold in Delhi, shooting gentoo | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
fame, but tears of joy were swapped for tears of disappointment at the | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
Olympics, she missed out on a medal. -- shooting Jen to fame. I know | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
that. -- I know that I'm better than that, | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
I know that I have got it in me to make the final, when a medal. At her | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
home games, Scotland expects, Jen McIntosh is determined | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
home games, Scotland expects, Jen Now it is about personal pride. I am | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
supercompetitive. Anything less than gold is a failure. | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
Jen McIntosh speaking with Chris, and tomorrow we will be speaking | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
with the Welsh Paralympic gold medal discus rather, Aled Davies. | :27:10. | :27:18. | |
The weather will be falling apart through tonight, lovely evening for | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
the last majority but as the night goes on Northern Ireland, western | :27:24. | :27:25. | |
Scotland, cloud wind and rain gathering. For many, it will be a | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
dry night. Certainly Northern Ireland, early risers may get wet, | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
we will see the rain clearing away, one or two showers brightening | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
conditions, temperatures 15, 16 degrees, outbreaks of rain pushing | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
across many areas of Scotland through the first part of the day. | :27:43. | :27:44. | |
The western fringes particularly through the first part of the day. | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
around the coast, misty and great, some light rain and drizzle. Some | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
sunshine inland, fairly sunshine start in the East. Still pretty | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
warm, 17 or 18 degrees. start in the East. Still pretty | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
Ireland is turning into sunshine and showers, into the afternoon that | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
will be the case in Scotland, particularly west of the Pennines in | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
England, heavy developing, temperatures in western areas high | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
teens, low 20s, south and east, another warm day, 28 Celsius is | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
possible. Slim risk of an isolated thunderstorm, but they will clear | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
through, and pretty muggy night to take us into Thursday. Thursday, by | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
and large, will be a fine day, bit misty around the coast, sunny spells | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
inland, isolated heavy showers to the northern half of the UK but | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
mostly dry. Immediately levels will build as will the heat. In the north | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
of London it could be 30 degrees by Thursday afternoon. There are | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
remotely night following, she immediately levels rising across the | :28:48. | :28:49. | |
country into Friday, risk of thunderstorms pushing west during | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
Friday, isolated ones further east. Sunshine to the south, 31 Celsius | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
possible, bigger storms possible as we go into the start of the weekend. | :29:01. | :29:02. |
