David Cameron says he can't give any guarantees about the future

:00:00.:00:00.

The company's UK operations are under threat -

:00:07.:00:13.

more questions for ministers about what they plan to do.

:00:14.:00:17.

I don't believe nationalisation is the right answer.

:00:18.:00:21.

What we want to do is secure a long-term future for Port Talbot

:00:22.:00:24.

and for other plants in the United Kingdom.

:00:25.:00:30.

If there isn't a buyer coming forward very very quickly it will be

:00:31.:00:37.

nationalised to stabilise, and then we look at the investment

:00:38.:00:39.

We'll be asking if steel plants in the rest of the EU

:01:26.:01:32.

Hello and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:33.:01:56.

David Cameron has said the government will do all it can to

:01:57.:02:02.

help Britain's still industry but doesn't make any promises about its

:02:03.:02:07.

success. He also ruled out nationalisation of the Port Talbot

:02:08.:02:13.

plant. There has been criticism of the government's handling of the

:02:14.:02:14.

crisis. Here's our deputy political

:02:15.:02:15.

editor James Landale. This is a steel plants living on

:02:16.:02:23.

borrowed time. With jobs and pensions at risk, if one day the

:02:24.:02:27.

furnaces stop burning, and these gates are locked for good. We make a

:02:28.:02:31.

top quality product. We are second to none. They need to hear we have a

:02:32.:02:38.

future for this plant. Somebody needs to come down here. I would

:02:39.:02:41.

like to see Mr Cameron himself, but you cannot see that happening. But

:02:42.:02:44.

somebody needs to come here. The steel industry is going to go. The

:02:45.:02:49.

Prime Minister, back from holiday, said the government would do what it

:02:50.:02:54.

would do. We are not rolling anything out. I don't believe

:02:55.:02:56.

nationalisation is the answer. We want to secure a long-term future

:02:57.:03:00.

for Port Talbot. The fear in Downing Street is that the owners will not

:03:01.:03:05.

give them enough time to find a buyer and just close the plant down.

:03:06.:03:10.

But just listen to the caution in David Cameron's voice. We were

:03:11.:03:14.

concerned there was a chance that there could have been an outright

:03:15.:03:18.

closure of Port Talbot. That is why we worked very hard with the company

:03:19.:03:24.

to make sure there is a proper sales process. We will do everything we

:03:25.:03:27.

can to encourage people to come forward, but this is a difficult

:03:28.:03:30.

situation. There are no guarantees of success. The government has been

:03:31.:03:35.

criticised for acting slowly. Today ministers were summoned to talk

:03:36.:03:39.

about the crisis. But if you don't recognise them all, don't worry,

:03:40.:03:42.

most of the Cabinet wasn't there. And the Business Minister was still

:03:43.:03:47.

on a trip with his teenage daughter, so he sent his junior minister in.

:03:48.:03:51.

Is this the end of the steel industry? We hope not. The

:03:52.:03:58.

government has also -- is also accused of failing to protect the

:03:59.:04:02.

industry by opposing EU plans for higher tariffs on cheap Chinese

:04:03.:04:06.

imports which have flooded the market and lowered prices. An

:04:07.:04:09.

accusation pressed on by the MP that represents Port Talbot and was in

:04:10.:04:12.

India this week ago shaking with Tata. This is a shambles. It seems

:04:13.:04:18.

to be a blend of incompetence and indifference. -- meeting with Tata.

:04:19.:04:33.

Labour and the unions want to give financial support to Tata Steel in

:04:34.:04:36.

the short-term while a buyer is found. And more state aid in the

:04:37.:04:40.

long term to make it more viable and pay for it all by raising capital

:04:41.:04:44.

gains taxes. If a buyer isn't coming forward quickly it will have to be

:04:45.:04:48.

nationalised to stabilise. Then we will look at the strategy for the

:04:49.:04:52.

long-term future. Buyers may emerge, we may want to keep a Public stake.

:04:53.:04:58.

The government is in a tight spot. Under political pressure. But it

:04:59.:05:01.

doesn't hold all of the cards. Tata Steel will decide how long it wants

:05:02.:05:05.

to give this plant open. A potential buyer will decide if it is worth

:05:06.:05:10.

buying at the glut of global steel isn't going away. Ministers now I

:05:11.:05:14.

admit there is only so much they can do. To be sustainable it has to be a

:05:15.:05:19.

solution that recognises the context and the reality of a world which is

:05:20.:05:25.

drowning in an oversupply of steel. We cannot simply ignore that. It has

:05:26.:05:31.

to be a more nuanced solution that focuses on supporting the

:05:32.:05:35.

communities. That is what this comes down to, the impact on communities

:05:36.:05:39.

whose lives revolve around the steel plant, and whose future is dependent

:05:40.:05:41.

on choices made in the coming days. Tata's board decided to pull out

:05:42.:05:46.

of steel production in the UK because it was not able

:05:47.:05:49.

to make money here - the Port Talbot plant alone

:05:50.:05:55.

was losing ?1 million a day. Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed has

:05:56.:05:58.

been looking at why UK steel has suffered more than

:05:59.:06:02.

competitors across Europe. Yes, George, so the question is,

:06:03.:06:06.

does Britain get a bad Much of the regulation and support

:06:07.:06:09.

for the steel industry across Europe Tariffs against other

:06:10.:06:15.

countries' imports - such as China - which are lower

:06:16.:06:26.

than those imposed by countries like America - or financial

:06:27.:06:29.

support by way of loans But, there are strict rules

:06:30.:06:32.

on actual state aid - I would say our hands are tied. The

:06:33.:06:58.

rules of the single market do not have any discriminatory help to any

:06:59.:07:02.

industry. I think some countries violate the rules. They get taken to

:07:03.:07:06.

the European Court. By the time they are taken to the European Court they

:07:07.:07:12.

may have just gone past the problem, and simply happily be slapped on the

:07:13.:07:18.

rest. Today the European Union said it was ready to act to support

:07:19.:07:24.

British steel. There are EU retraining funds, for example, that

:07:25.:07:30.

the UK Government has never used. We are

:07:31.:07:33.

the UK Government has never used. We authorities. Obviously

:07:34.:07:35.

the UK Government has never used. We are under development. As you

:07:36.:07:40.

understand while that is ongoing we are not in a situation to be able to

provide any further are not in a situation to be able to

:07:44.:07:46.

But we are there basically to provide guidance. More generally,

:07:47.:07:52.

Britain has been criticised for failing to invest in steel-making,

:07:53.:07:55.

and for applying high business and for applying high business

:07:56.:07:59.

rates, and high green taxes. The weakness of the year against

:08:00.:08:01.

rates, and high green taxes. The sterling has also meant steel

:08:02.:08:06.

imports to the UK are cheaper, and other major steel producers such as

:08:07.:08:11.

Belgium and Italy have faced allegations of flouting

:08:12.:08:16.

Belgium and Italy have faced state aid rules. The other countries

:08:17.:08:19.

realise that steel-making is not just another company. It isn't like

:08:20.:08:21.

two restaurant in just another company. It isn't like

:08:22.:08:23.

closes and just another company. It isn't like

:08:24.:08:29.

That means not being able to make steel ever again. The other European

:08:30.:08:31.

countries realise that. The impact is clear -

:08:32.:08:35.

in the last year British steel In Germany - Europe's

:08:36.:08:38.

largest producer - that figure has fallen

:08:39.:08:40.

by less than 1%. There is something

:08:41.:08:43.

fundamental at the heart of this steel debate - the Conservative

:08:44.:08:45.

government is more sympathetic to market forces, which can mean

:08:46.:08:48.

some sectors failing Others, including parts of the EU,

:08:49.:08:50.

are more interventionist, protecting jobs, but that can

:08:51.:08:58.

sometimes mean higher prices. Ronnie Corbett, a comic legend

:08:59.:09:05.

and one half of the Two Ronnies He passed away in hospital

:09:06.:09:13.

surrounded by his family. Tributes have been pouring

:09:14.:09:18.

in from the world of entertainment. At the height of their powers

:09:19.:09:22.

in the seventies and eighties the Two Ronnies show on BBC One

:09:23.:09:25.

was a television institution. I looked down on him because I am

:09:26.:09:39.

upper-class. I looked up to him because he is upper-class. But I

:09:40.:09:42.

looked down on him because he is lower class. I am middle class. I

:09:43.:09:50.

know my place. By the time he recorded that famous sketch with

:09:51.:09:54.

donkeys and Ronnie Barker, Ronnie Corbett was already an established,

:09:55.:10:01.

it -- established comic. But it was the Two Ronnies with Roddy Barker

:10:02.:10:07.

which really made his name. They brought genial comedy into peoples

:10:08.:10:22.

homes. Ronnie Barker. Chosen subject is to answer the question before. Is

:10:23.:10:32.

that correct? George Smithers. What is palaeontology? Absolutely

:10:33.:10:35.

correct. LAUGHTER

candles. Fork handles, handles for forks.

LAUGHTER His reactions, he was great that we

acting. If ever you watch it in a sketch, it might have been a

:11:02.:11:05.

brilliant Ronnie Barker talking, but you look at Ronnie Corbett's face,

:11:06.:11:09.

it was reacting all the time. He was brilliant at that. When they

:11:10.:11:13.

reunited for a Royal variety show years later it was clear how much

:11:14.:11:18.

they had been laughed. One of the saddest days of my life. Ronnie was

:11:19.:11:26.

a friend. Somebody I admired so much. He was... We always say a one

:11:27.:11:34.

off, and he certainly was a one off and a half. I was walking along...

:11:35.:11:41.

His particular contribution were the monologues he delivered from an easy

:11:42.:11:44.

chair, often including jokes about his own height. Name, Ronald Goliath

:11:45.:11:53.

Corbett. The younger generation of comics like Harry Enfield viewed him

:11:54.:11:58.

with admiration and affection. What's the problem? My blackberry

:11:59.:12:03.

isn't working. Many made tributes today. And many grew up watching one

:12:04.:12:11.

of Britain's's most loved comedy partnerships. The last time, it is

good night from me... And it is good night from him. Good night. Good

of Kolkata have been using their bare hands

:12:25.:12:26.

to try to save dozens of people feared trapped when

:12:27.:12:29.

a flyover collapsed. Police say at least eighteen people

:12:30.:12:32.

died when the structure - which was still under

:12:33.:12:34.

construction - caved in. This is normally one

:12:35.:12:36.

a monumental tragedy. David Cameron has said that the

government will do all he can to help the steel industry but is

Footballers join the referendum argument.

And coming up on Reporting Scotland at 6.30.

:14:32.:14:33.

We'll have more memories of Ronnie Corbett, who maintained

:14:34.:14:35.

lifelong links with his Scottish birthplace.

And the ice hockey team with a combined age

:14:38.:14:39.

From tomorrow, Greater Manchester will take direct control

:14:40.:14:49.

of ?6 billion worth of annual health and social care funding -

:14:50.:14:52.

money previously managed by central government.

:14:53.:14:56.

It is the most ambitious aspect of the English devolution package

:14:57.:14:59.

Our Home Editor Mark Easton looks at what difference the change

:15:00.:15:03.

For the first time in over a century, some of Greater

:15:04.:15:13.

municipal powers are clicking back into place.

:15:14.:15:20.

When the city's clocks tick to midnight tonight ?6 billion

:15:21.:15:23.

of health and social care funding previously administered in London

:15:24.:15:26.

will be directly controlled by ten local councils that make up

:15:27.:15:29.

But Greater Manchester is planning something truly radical.

:15:30.:15:37.

The health and care cash will be spent not according

:15:38.:15:40.

to the priorities of Whitehall departments but on whatever

:15:41.:15:43.

it is felt will improve the well-being of people and places

:15:44.:15:45.

That could mean some of the cash is diverted away from hospitals

:15:46.:15:51.

and doctors and into things like improving housing,

:15:52.:15:53.

Greater Manchester is abandoning the Whitehall model,

:15:54.:16:01.

instead of protecting their own budgets and power,

:16:02.:16:05.

organisations will, it is claimed, work together for the common good.

:16:06.:16:11.

Here at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport for example

:16:12.:16:21.

Chief Executive Anne Barnes says she would be delighted

:16:22.:16:24.

Some of the budget that is funding this should actually be used

:16:25.:16:28.

You would give up some of your budget, would you?

:16:29.:16:33.

Yes, we will absolutely give up some of our budget to allow social care

:16:34.:16:37.

to keep looking after people in their homes instead

:16:38.:16:39.

Life expectancy in parts of Greater Manchester is among

:16:40.:16:42.

the lowest in the developed world and demands on the NHS and social

:16:43.:16:45.

Even with a ?6 billion annual budget they must somehow save ?2 billion

:16:46.:16:51.

The answer, they believe, is to smash the silos,

:16:52.:17:04.

the institutional badges, they are being removed, literally.

:17:05.:17:07.

It is that different thinking, thinking outside

:17:08.:17:08.

In this neighbourhood of Wigan agencies are trying to improve

:17:09.:17:13.

the well-being of residents, health, housing, the Council,

:17:14.:17:19.

they all pool their budgets and resources for the good

:17:20.:17:21.

This isn't about multi-agency or partnership working,

:17:22.:17:24.

this is about us coming together to get common outcomes,

:17:25.:17:29.

the main one being that we are improving the lives of this area

:17:30.:17:32.

Who takes the credit if it goes well?

:17:33.:17:35.

Who takes responsibility if a hospital won't hand over some

:17:36.:17:46.

We don't see ourselves as competitors, we don't see

:17:47.:17:55.

Why do they think you can make it work?

:17:56.:18:03.

People will say, in the end, what is good for the service

:18:04.:18:05.

It's hard not to raise a sceptical eyebrow,

:18:06.:18:13.

but Greater Manchester is not just taking the money but rethinking how

:18:14.:18:16.

the state can deliver services and improve people's lives.

:18:17.:18:18.

If they can achieve the ambitious health and well-being targets

:18:19.:18:21.

they have set themselves it may change the way we are governed.

:18:22.:18:25.

The Liberal Democrats have launched their local election

:18:26.:18:27.

campaign with a two-day tour of key battlegrounds.

:18:28.:18:34.

Leader Tim Farron visited Sheffield and Hull and will also travel

:18:35.:18:37.

to Newcastle, Southport and Liverpool over the next 48 hours.

:18:38.:18:39.

The party said its campaign will focus on defending local

:18:40.:18:42.

services, housing and dedication to serving the community.

:18:43.:18:49.

The US presidential race now - and for weeks it's seemed

:18:50.:18:52.

as if the Republican front runner Donald Trump could -

:18:53.:18:54.

and did - get away with almost anything.

:18:55.:18:57.

He's made a hasty retreat after making some controversial

:18:58.:19:00.

remarks on abortion - saying women should be punished

:19:01.:19:04.

if abortion becomes a criminal offence.

:19:05.:19:06.

Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel has more.

:19:07.:19:15.

So far so normal, another town hall, another interview, another highly

:19:16.:19:21.

provacative comment from the Republican front runner.

:19:22.:19:22.

This time on abortion, and what should happen to women

:19:23.:19:25.

who have the procedure if it has been outlawed.

:19:26.:19:28.

You do believe in punishment in principle?

:19:29.:19:32.

The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment.

:19:33.:19:34.

Yes, there has to be some punishment.

:19:35.:19:37.

What he said today is just among the most outrageous and dangerous

:19:38.:20:05.

What he hadn't anticipated was that his own backers would pile

:20:06.:20:14.

I don't think he was prepared and I don't think

:20:15.:20:17.

He had to walk it back and issue a statement to clarify

:20:18.:20:22.

It was a terrible answer, no one will defend what he said,

:20:23.:20:27.

because the idea of, well, we have do have some punishment,

:20:28.:20:32.

and even in his answer it looked as though he was fumbling around

:20:33.:20:36.

The statement was a spectacular U-turn.

:20:37.:20:50.

Donald Trump is in Washington today meeting his foreign policy advisers,

:20:51.:20:55.

but perhaps when he needs most help is with women,

:20:56.:20:58.

since issuing the statement last night to has had nothing to say

:20:59.:21:01.

about the controversy on social media, very unusual for him,

:21:02.:21:03.

for the first time we have seen Donald Trump on the run

:21:04.:21:06.

A brief look at some of the day's other news stories...

:21:07.:21:21.

A review of end-of-life care in England suggests many hospitals

:21:22.:21:23.

are failing to provide round-the-clock specialists

:21:24.:21:25.

The study by the Royal College of Physicians, found that

:21:26.:21:28.

improvements have been made - but there were also unacceptable

:21:29.:21:31.

Police are investigating alleged links between Muslim leaders at two

:21:32.:21:36.

of Scotland's largest mosques and a banned sectarian

:21:37.:21:38.

A BBC investigation found evidence that Sabir Ali and Hafiz Abdul Hamid

:21:39.:21:47.

took roles in a political party which was banned for its links

:21:48.:21:50.

The girl band Little Mix have been forced to cancel two concerts

:21:51.:22:00.

in Belfast after one of their members, Jessy Nelson became unwell.

:22:01.:22:03.

The girl band were due to play a matinee and evening show

:22:04.:22:06.

The announcement came after doors had already opened for the matinee

:22:07.:22:09.

So far the arguments about the EU referendum have tended

:22:10.:22:13.

to concentrate on issues like the economy or migration.

:22:14.:22:15.

Leading figures in the sport say the game could face changes

:22:16.:22:21.

if the UK votes to leave the European Union.

:22:22.:22:23.

Our Sports Editor Dan Roan has more.

:22:24.:22:29.

It's a result that could change the face of British football, European

:22:30.:22:36.

talent has helped make the Premier League hugely popular, players from

in the summer and some are worried about the impact of so-called

Brexit. We have the best players in the world and we have access through

:22:49.:22:52.

Europe to those best players, not to have them is self-evidently very

:22:53.:22:59.

damaging, very damaging. That's a real threat to us. We should not go

:23:00.:23:03.

down that road. The government could agree to freedom of movement as part

:23:04.:23:07.

of its exit negotiations and little would change but what if the rules

:23:08.:23:13.

for non-EU players that they must be regulars for their country to

:23:14.:23:16.

automatically get a work permit applied to European footballers too?

:23:17.:23:23.

125 out of 199 players would not qualify based on their international

:23:24.:23:28.

records. In the Scottish Premiership none of the 53 would have the

:23:29.:23:32.

required number of caps. Across British football 441 EU players face

an uncertain future. If you have fewer players coming from Europe it

:23:38.:23:44.

opens up squads in the first team for local players, so there is a

:23:45.:23:49.

potential benefit. Whether those players would be brought on as much

:23:50.:23:53.

without access to European players is another question. Here at

:23:54.:23:56.

Cosmopolitan Stoke City the make-up of the squad could change can

:23:57.:24:01.

magically. The club has nine EU players who wouldn't automatically

:24:02.:24:05.

qualify to stay based on their international appearances. They

:24:06.:24:08.

would have to appeal and hope they could make a case to be granted a

:24:09.:24:13.

permit. Some may be successful but others may not. However according to

:24:14.:24:17.

one leading manager Brexit needn't mean an exodus of talent. The

:24:18.:24:22.

Premier League and the football Association, especially the Premier

:24:23.:24:24.

League, they will adjust the rural is accordingly. I think there could

:24:25.:24:32.

be massive trouble otherwise. It is such massive revenue, are the

:24:33.:24:37.

government would not put up with it because they get so

:24:38.:24:38.

government would not put up with it it's unbelievable. Players like

:24:39.:24:46.

Dimitri Payet are among the biggest stars in English football, but the

:24:47.:24:48.

game now faces potential uncertainty.

:24:49.:24:51.

You might remember last month we told you about a baby gorilla

:24:52.:24:54.

born at Bristol Zoo in a rare emergency Caesarean operation.

:24:55.:24:56.

She's now seven weeks old and is being cared

:24:57.:24:59.

for by keepers as her mother has been critically ill since her birth.

:25:00.:25:02.

Jon Kay has been to see her and the team caring

:25:03.:25:06.

Lindsey looks like any proud mum, carrying a newborn through the park.

:25:07.:25:16.

But look closely in her sling, this is a seven-week-old baby

:25:17.:25:19.

It was on a Friday last month that she was born in a rare

:25:20.:25:37.

Caesarean operation when her mother became unwell.

:25:38.:25:42.

Until Mum has fully recovered, Afia needs to be hand reared

:25:43.:25:45.

by staff at Bristol Zoo.

:25:46.:25:46.

Which even involves taking her home with them at night.

:25:47.:25:48.

Lindsey told me that she sleeps with Afia downstairs

:25:49.:25:51.

while her husband and two human children sleep upstairs.

:25:52.:25:59.

I get my bed set up for the evening, I might watch a bit of telly

:26:00.:26:06.

and have a cup of tea, but I'm always aware of feeds

:26:07.:26:09.

and trying to get myself some sleep in between them.

:26:10.:26:11.

Just like you are when you have young babies at home.

:26:12.:26:14.

You are snatching sleep where you can.

:26:15.:26:16.

My husband jokes, we could have a third one,

:26:17.:26:20.

Zookeepers say the priority is to get Afia back with her gorilla

:26:21.:26:27.

family where the public can see her, but it will take time,

:26:28.:26:32.

first she has to get to know her relatives like Dad,

:26:33.:26:41.

Jock, and if her real mum can't bring her up then Auntie Remina

:26:42.:26:44.

is said to be showing maternal interest.

:26:45.:26:46.

In the meantime, though, she has got Lindsey.

:26:47.:26:52.

Time for a look at the weather now with Alex Deakin. We will keep the

:26:53.:26:58.

animal theme going because March came in like a lion but as it

:26:59.:27:02.

normally does it is going out like a lamb. Quite a calm and sunny day for

:27:03.:27:07.

most today but there were storms in eastern England. A big thunderstorm

:27:08.:27:13.

in Ipswich producing significant hailstones, also across south-east

:27:14.:27:18.

Scotland. Some storms rumbling on in the East at the moment but they are

:27:19.:27:22.

fading away. Most having a dry night and light last night it will be

:27:23.:27:26.

another chilly one, particularly across England and Wales. These are

:27:27.:27:30.

the temperatures in the countryside, down to freezing or a touch below,

:27:31.:27:34.

but not in the North West because there are signs of change. The

:27:35.:27:39.

breeze is picking up and wet weather also pushes in, a soggy day for

:27:40.:27:43.

Northern Ireland and western Scotland and the rain trickles into

:27:44.:27:47.

other parts of England and Wales. Southern parts will stay dry. The

:27:48.:27:51.

rain slowly heads to eastern Scotland but the Murray Firth will

:27:52.:27:57.

stay dry and bright, 13 possible. It is dismal and cruel in Northern

:27:58.:28:05.

Ireland, Belfast. -- cool in Belfast. Where the sun shines

:28:06.:28:11.

longest after a cold start the afternoon should see temperatures

:28:12.:28:14.

getting into the teens. The weather front looks as though it will sweep

:28:15.:28:18.

across for the weekend but it stops and starts to grind further north

:28:19.:28:22.

during the weekend so some places look rather soggy with rain pushing

:28:23.:28:27.

back into southern Scotland and Northern Ireland, to the north of

:28:28.:28:31.

that it is dry and bright but chilly and further south there will be

:28:32.:28:34.

warmer weather with some sunshine. Again into the teens. Heavy showers

:28:35.:28:38.

on Saturday night and still some on Sunday where they are

:28:39.:28:54.

lingering in some areas but signs of things getting warmer still on

:28:55.:28:56.

Sunday. I like that. Thanks very much. A reminder of the main

:28:57.:28:59.

story... David Cameron has said the government will do all it can to

:29:00.:29:02.

help the steel industry but has been
