:03:08. > :03:10.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six. The bill to allow
:03:10. > :03:15.same-sex marriage in England and Wales has returned to the Commons
:03:15. > :03:17.with an impassioned debate on whether it should go through.
:03:17. > :03:22.Conservative opponents are being accused of trying to delay the
:03:22. > :03:26.plans. They are calling for heterosexual couples to have the
:03:26. > :03:30.right to a civil partnership. Now the Government and Labour believe
:03:30. > :03:33.they have reached a deal which will allow gay marriage to become legal.
:03:33. > :03:36.The divisiveness of these he was seen as another challenge to the
:03:36. > :03:41.prime Minster's authority, as political editor Nick Robinson
:03:41. > :03:44.reports. It all now feels a long time ago, a
:03:44. > :03:49.time before their recent troubles. The once happy marriage between
:03:50. > :03:55.David Cameron and the Conservative Party appears to be in very real
:03:55. > :04:01.trouble. Last week's divisive argument about Europe was followed
:04:01. > :04:06.by weekend headlines claiming that a top Tory had dismissed his party's
:04:06. > :04:09.activists as swivel-eyed loons. It was a claim he vehemently denies.
:04:09. > :04:15.Today the arguments focus on a change to what we think of as
:04:15. > :04:18.marriage to allow same-sex couples to wed. The nation is as divided as
:04:18. > :04:22.the Parliamentary party on this. We have picked an issue where we are in
:04:22. > :04:25.touch with the nation by showing our division. So wedding cakes which
:04:25. > :04:29.look like this could soon be joined by those that look a little more
:04:29. > :04:35.like this, an idea which, according to opinion polls, more than half of
:04:35. > :04:39.us are quite relaxed about. We have done cakes and things for couples
:04:39. > :04:44.who are having civil ceremonies, so it doesn't really worry me greatly,
:04:44. > :04:49.you know, if they want equal rights. It may not worry her, but some here
:04:49. > :04:54.in Skipton in Yorkshire are not just worried - they are angry. I have
:04:54. > :04:58.written to my MP, he has indicated he supports this, and I have told I
:04:58. > :05:03.will not be voting Conservative again. I am of the view that I do
:05:03. > :05:08.not agree with it! Tonight, despite that, their local Conservative MP
:05:08. > :05:12.will vote for gay marriage. Representing one of the most rural
:05:12. > :05:16.constituencies in England, I see gay in, day out, gay men and women
:05:16. > :05:20.struggling as they come out and who wants to be recognised in the same
:05:20. > :05:24.way as straight couples, and I believe this legislation, which
:05:24. > :05:31.protects the right of Church is not to conduct marriage, is absolutely
:05:31. > :05:36.the right way for the government to go. Outside the Commons, Christians
:05:36. > :05:39.protested today, but inside there is, in theory, a majority in favour
:05:40. > :05:44.of this historic social change. However, there is scarcely a
:05:44. > :05:47.majority inside the Tory party, almost half of Conservative MPs are
:05:48. > :05:52.threatening to support an amendment tonight which says the change that
:05:52. > :05:56.is really needed is not to marriage but to civil partnerships. This
:05:56. > :06:01.bill, whatever we think about it, introduces a glaring inequality. If
:06:01. > :06:04.it goes through, as I am pretty sure it will, opposite sex couples will
:06:04. > :06:08.only have access to marriage, but same-sex couples would now have
:06:08. > :06:12.access to the new form of marriage and civil partnerships. That is just
:06:12. > :06:16.not fair. In the last hour, Tory ministers under Labour opponents
:06:16. > :06:23.reached an agreement to hold an instant review on civil
:06:23. > :06:26.partnerships, a deal to ensured that the bill goes through. We were
:06:26. > :06:30.worried that either the Government might use civil partnerships as an
:06:30. > :06:33.excuse to wreck the bill or that the Tory backbenchers might use it as an
:06:33. > :06:38.excuse to wreck the bill, and instead we will have progress to
:06:38. > :06:43.make sure it keeps going forward. David Cameron has always insisted he
:06:43. > :06:46.is a great supporter of marriage. The problem he faces is that his
:06:46. > :06:51.relationship with his party is being damaged by his determination to
:06:51. > :06:56.allow gay people to get married. Well, let's pick that up with Nick,
:06:57. > :07:01.who joins me from Westminster. Even if the bill goes through, are you
:07:01. > :07:06.suggesting the Prime Minister's authority is still under threat?
:07:06. > :07:11.so much his authority as his relationship. In theory this is a
:07:11. > :07:15.free vote. Anything that is a vote of conscience is always free in the
:07:15. > :07:19.House of Commons, so there is no actual rebellion here in the sense
:07:19. > :07:24.that Tory MPs are free to vote as they choose. But the truth is he is
:07:24. > :07:28.only getting his way because he knows he can rely on a combination
:07:28. > :07:33.of Conservative ministers, Labour voters and also the Liberal
:07:33. > :07:36.Democrats as well, and that is not a comfortable place to be. What's
:07:36. > :07:40.more, he knows that ploughing on with this legislation is creating
:07:40. > :07:43.another source of real anger amongst his own MPs and amongst his own
:07:43. > :07:47.activists. The truth is the Prime Minister believes he is bringing
:07:47. > :07:51.about an historic social change, something he can be proud of,
:07:51. > :07:57.something different from austerity, but he's doing it at a very high
:07:57. > :08:00.political price to himself. Nick Robinson, political editor,
:08:00. > :08:03.joining us from Westminster. A man and a woman have died in a gas
:08:03. > :08:07.explosion at a house in Nottinghamshire. The property was
:08:07. > :08:10.almost destroyed by the blast, which happened in Newark yesterday
:08:10. > :08:17.afternoon. Four other people were taken to hospital, most have been
:08:17. > :08:21.discharged. Sian Lloyd is in Newark for us this evening.
:08:21. > :08:26.Emergency services are still working at the scene this evening, which
:08:26. > :08:31.remains cordoned off. It is believed that this was a gas explosion, but
:08:31. > :08:35.what caused it is not yet known. Police say tonight that one line of
:08:35. > :08:43.inquiry they are investigating is that the family were carrying out
:08:43. > :08:48.The silence of Sunday afternoon was shattered by an explosion that
:08:48. > :08:53.devastated this terraced house in Wright Street. Inside, two people
:08:53. > :08:59.died. They have been named locally as pensioner Leslie walk and
:09:00. > :09:03.Jeanette Chalke, who was 40. Another man suffered serious injuries and is
:09:03. > :09:10.being treated in hospital stop a further blast ripped through the
:09:10. > :09:16.house next door. The residents were helped to escape by quick thinking
:09:16. > :09:22.neighbours. We smashed the window with a couple of breaks, and I was
:09:22. > :09:28.handed this two-month-old baby. And then finally his mother came out.
:09:28. > :09:34.She had some cuts on her head, all of them were covered in what looked
:09:34. > :09:38.like suit, and we were all in shock. As black smoke filled the air, there
:09:38. > :09:42.was panic and confusion. Local people ran into the street. They
:09:42. > :09:48.were met within minutes by members of the emergency services. When we
:09:48. > :09:52.climbed over the rubble, there was a man coming out, all bleeding,
:09:52. > :09:55.covered in dust, and there was another two other chaps who said,
:09:55. > :10:00.let's get him out. Somebody was shouting, stand back, it is going to
:10:00. > :10:04.go again, the fire was going over the walls and up the house.
:10:04. > :10:09.Specialist teams have been working at the scene all day. They needed to
:10:09. > :10:12.make the property safe before they could recover the body. This is a
:10:12. > :10:21.really hazardous environment. The fire officers are working bravely.
:10:21. > :10:24.Once we have got the body out, we will then take stock and see what we
:10:24. > :10:26.can do in the next phase. This may take a number of days to examine the
:10:26. > :10:30.house. Rescuers who had been searching through the rubble brick

:11:25. > :11:30.ever done before, announced that �16 million of Government money will put
:11:30. > :11:33.a British astronaut in orbit. He cannot wait to get there. I don't
:11:33. > :11:39.think I need to tell you I am delighted with his decision. It was
:11:39. > :11:43.an honour to be selected in 2009 as an astronaut candidate, as a British
:11:43. > :11:49.citizen, but it really is a true privilege to be assigned to a long
:11:49. > :11:54.duration mission. The first British person in space was Helen Sharman in
:11:54. > :11:58.1991, but her trip lasted just a week and was privately funded.
:11:58. > :12:04.Others became American citizens to fly. Now the Government has cleared

:12:09. > :12:12.Russian Soyuz rocket. That will be the start of a six-month stay on

:12:36. > :12:39.generation of British schoolkids and college students. The big hope is
:12:39. > :12:43.that Britain's space industries will get a boost. Here at this laboratory
:12:43. > :12:49.they are building cameras for the space station. New contracts mean
:12:49. > :12:53.more jobs. This work, which has gone largely unnoticed, is now worth �9
:12:53. > :12:56.billion a year, and the government is now seeing the potential of that.

:23:10. > :23:14.decision. A step unthinkable until recently, the General Assembly
:23:14. > :23:19.declared for the first time that active homosexuality was allowable.
:23:19. > :23:22.A decision which could change the church forever. Delegates known as
:23:22. > :23:28.commissioners faced a stark choice about how to deal with an issue
:23:28. > :23:31.which is shown its power to split churches apart. Liberal conjugations
:23:31. > :23:35.set of Saint Andrews and Saint Georges West in Edinburgh backed a
:23:36. > :23:39.proposal to give parishes the freedom to choose actively gay
:23:39. > :23:47.ministers in civil partnerships. They had powerful support in the
:23:47. > :23:54.assembly. I accepted in this church, or am I not because I'm a gay woman?
:23:54. > :23:58.It undermines my very core, it undermines my place with God.
:23:58. > :24:04.many in the church insist active homosexuality is sinful, against the
:24:04. > :24:10.teaching of the Bible itself. Bible does not anywhere endorse
:24:10. > :24:15.same-sex activity as pleasing to God. We're not talking about
:24:15. > :24:21.orientation here. That's different. We are talking about same-sex sexual
:24:21. > :24:25.activity. The heart and Soul Festival in Edinburgh yesterday
:24:25. > :24:29.presented a lively and confident Church of Scotland. Its rank and
:24:29. > :24:33.file are deeply divided about homosexuality and they are also
:24:33. > :24:37.susceptible to attitudes in wider Scottish society. Increasingly
:24:37. > :24:42.focused on secular values such as equality. I think it's a good thing
:24:42. > :24:48.because it shows how society is move forward. It's teaching the word of
:24:48. > :24:52.God, they can't betray what the Bible says. It will influence other
:24:52. > :24:56.churches. The Church of England is currently reviewing its policy which
:24:56. > :24:59.allows clergy to have civil partnerships but requires them to be
:24:59. > :25:05.celibate. Many other churches currently tackling this most
:25:05. > :25:09.intractable of issues. A decision of this magnitude will have to be
:25:09. > :25:12.farmed out to the regional churches and they could veto it but it's
:25:12. > :25:17.questionable how long they will want to resist what is clearly the
:25:17. > :25:27.governing body of the church putt opinion. People will look back
:25:27. > :25:27.
:25:27. > :25:30.tonight at the moment the church changed. Robert, thank you. Now as
:25:30. > :25:33.hardy perennials go, they don't come much more enduring that the Chelsea
:25:33. > :25:35.Flower Show which this year celebrates 100 years of gardening
:25:35. > :25:41.excellence. Our Royal Correspondent, Luisa Baldini is there for us.
:25:41. > :25:46.Luisa. You don't need to be green fingered to appreciate what a
:25:46. > :25:50.success story the Chelsea Flower Show is. 100 years on, and it is
:25:50. > :25:54.still going strong. Yes, it's a traditional event, conservative with
:25:54. > :26:01.a small sea, but there always seems to be an element of surprise for the
:26:01. > :26:05.non-traditionalists as well. It has been a fixture of the British summer
:26:05. > :26:10.for ten decades. And has had the royal seal of approval ever since
:26:10. > :26:19.the first show in 1913. COMMENTATOR: The Duke and Duchess of
:26:19. > :26:22.York is amongst the early visitors. Generations have visited the show.
:26:22. > :26:27.This was 1936, and it's just as public with the public and this year
:26:27. > :26:31.is a sellout. Showing for the first time is a garden for Prince Harry's
:26:31. > :26:38.charity. These forget-me-nots garden represents a loss of Harry's
:26:38. > :26:43.mother, Princess Diana, as well as the African country of little too.
:26:43. > :26:48.He's terribly excited about it. When he was at camp bastion, I had sent
:26:48. > :26:53.everything over. He knew everything about it and said, why didn't you
:26:53. > :26:56.send more? This reflects the changing tastes in gardens over the
:26:56. > :27:03.years and includes three companies which exhibited plants at the first
:27:03. > :27:06.Chelsea. And for the first time in Chelsea's history, garden gnomes are
:27:06. > :27:12.being allowed. The celebrity decorated characters are being
:27:12. > :27:17.auctioned to raise money for young gardeners. What were your thoughts
:27:17. > :27:22.on decorating this? This represents blue and red lines, slowly falling,
:27:22. > :27:28.cascading if you will, down a garden gnome, who not just has green
:27:28. > :27:33.fingered green hands. I like that. Where you good at art at school?
:27:33. > :27:37.don't you make up your own mind? Draw your own conclusions by looking
:27:37. > :27:43.at that. I spent a lot of time making my garden gnome look as nice
:27:43. > :27:48.as possible, but he's a little bit chic but also EISA Tarik. Mine is
:27:48. > :27:54.called the gene known. When I painted it, I realised I did the GE
:27:54. > :27:57.completely wrong. I'm a little bit dyslexic, so it wasn't quite right.
:27:57. > :28:03.Garden gnomes shouldn't get too comfortable in the genteel
:28:03. > :28:09.surroundings of Chelsea, though. The ban on them and other brightly
:28:09. > :28:14.coloured mythical creatures will be back in force next year. The Queen
:28:14. > :28:21.arrived a short time ago. She has already been to see this Australian
:28:21. > :28:26.themed garden and she is currently being shown around the centre garden
:28:26. > :28:32.by her grandson, Prince Harry, and tomorrow is when it opens to the
:28:33. > :28:42.public for the duration of five days. Thank you. Is it good weather
:28:42. > :28:48.for gardeners? Time for a look at frost. The weather is on the change
:28:48. > :28:52.once again. The cloud melting away through the afternoon. Some unseen
:28:52. > :28:58.storm clouds building up. South-east Scotland in particular, some lively
:28:58. > :29:02.storms developing through the second of today. Have a Met office amber
:29:02. > :29:06.warning in place across south-east Scotland at the moment. Intense
:29:06. > :29:11.downpours, rumbles of thunder and some halo. You can see how those
:29:11. > :29:15.storms been pushing southward and eastwards. Now working into the
:29:15. > :29:18.Borders. They will track southward and Eastwood and maybe get into
:29:18. > :29:24.Northumberland during this evening. Elsewhere, one or two showers
