:00:05. > :00:10.Tonight at 10pm: The squeeze on household budgets as inflation
:00:10. > :00:18.rises sharply. It reached 5.2%, the highest for three years, driven
:00:18. > :00:23.mainly by energy prices. I never know if I am going to have enough
:00:23. > :00:26.money by the time I get the tail, so I'm having to put stuff back and
:00:26. > :00:30.go without basics. But the Bank of England says tonight, inflation
:00:30. > :00:32.will fall back sharply early next year. We'll be looking at the
:00:32. > :00:35.impact of high inflation on the Government's finances.
:00:35. > :00:39.Also tonight: A joyous homecoming for an Israeli soldier, held by
:00:39. > :00:41.Hamas for the past five years. In a controversial exchange, hundreds of
:00:42. > :00:45.Palestinians are released by the Israelis.
:00:45. > :00:50.It's official. Liam Fox did break the ministerial code in his
:00:50. > :00:57.dealings with friend Adam Werrity. In Bahrain, protests against the
:00:57. > :01:04.killing of a teenager by government troops. We have a special report.
:01:04. > :01:09.There is so much tension in these villages, that when processions
:01:09. > :01:15.like this... Often it ends in tear- gas, and more animosity.
:01:15. > :01:19.The winner of the 2011 at Man Booker Prize is Julian Barnes.
:01:19. > :01:27.And the sense of a triumph as the favourite scoops the Man Booker
:01:27. > :01:31.prize. Later on the BBC News Channel, we
:01:31. > :01:41.have the reaction from the Champions' League games. Manchester
:01:41. > :01:51.
:01:51. > :01:54.United and Man City have been Good evening. The rising cost of
:01:54. > :01:59.gas, electricity and fuel has driven the rate of inflation to
:01:59. > :02:02.another high. As measured by the consumer prices index, inflation
:02:02. > :02:08.reached 5.2% last month, which could have big implications for the
:02:08. > :02:11.Government's finances. But the governor of the Bank of England
:02:11. > :02:18.says he expects inflation to fall back sharply early next year, as
:02:18. > :02:23.Stephanie Flanders reports. Inflation in Britain is supposed to
:02:23. > :02:26.stay at around 2% but it would be easy to forget, whether it is the
:02:26. > :02:35.gas bill or the price of a weekly shop, it has all been going up and
:02:35. > :02:43.up. The result? Inflation at 5.2%. The old RPI, which includes housing,
:02:43. > :02:47.it is at 5.6%. That is the highest since 1991, when Alex in Wakefield
:02:47. > :02:53.wasn't even born. She is on benefits and the rising cost of
:02:53. > :02:59.living is forcing impossible choices. Do I buy her new shoes or
:02:59. > :03:04.do I get some gas? Do I get new clothes or food? That down the road,
:03:04. > :03:10.shop owners face tough choices of their own. His family have owned
:03:10. > :03:15.but she shops in Wakefield for over 100 years. Fuel costs, energy costs,
:03:15. > :03:19.it is having a dramatic effect. We are having to absorb some of the
:03:19. > :03:23.prices ourselves but unfortunately we have to pass it on to the
:03:23. > :03:28.customers as well. There were no apologies from the Governor of the
:03:28. > :03:33.Bank of England tonight. Instead, he spoke about the global forces
:03:33. > :03:39.that are making life difficult for everyone. The British economy, too,
:03:39. > :03:46.has enjoyed the benefits of globalisation. Now we are seeing
:03:46. > :03:51.some of the costs, as they played out in a global financial crisis.
:03:51. > :03:55.The Bank of England doesn't like to see inflation so high for so long
:03:55. > :03:59.but the way they tell it, they didn't have a better alternative.
:03:59. > :04:03.If they tried to get inflation out of the system more quickly by
:04:03. > :04:07.jacking up interest rates, that would have done more harm than good,
:04:07. > :04:12.they think, by causing a recession. Critics say the causation runs the
:04:12. > :04:20.other way, that higher inflation has heard growth by cutting family
:04:20. > :04:23.budgets. -- hurt growth. This does need to be put at the Monetary
:04:23. > :04:27.Policy Committee's door and it is a sign of failure for policy because
:04:27. > :04:32.the United Kingdom as much higher inflation than most competitive
:04:32. > :04:35.countries. That is damaging competitiveness and demand at home.
:04:36. > :04:39.If you are on benefits, it is good news the September inflation rate
:04:39. > :04:42.turned out to be so high because that is the number they were used
:04:42. > :04:48.to increase benefits next year and the other piece of good news for
:04:48. > :04:51.all of us is that inflation now should be on the way down. When
:04:52. > :04:57.inflation rose this high three years ago, everybody expected it to
:04:57. > :05:02.come down quickly, and it did. Now it is back up again and again,
:05:02. > :05:07.everyone, including the banks, says it will fall back towards 2%, but
:05:07. > :05:12.that is not entirely good news. are in an era of fundamental
:05:12. > :05:18.economic weakness and demand is very weak, out but is very weak, we
:05:18. > :05:22.have a serious threat of a new recession -- out but is very weak.
:05:22. > :05:26.We would normally expect inflation to drop back sharply and I think we
:05:26. > :05:31.will see that. The debate about who to blame will continue but the
:05:31. > :05:37.relentless rise in inflation should now be coming to an end. The bad
:05:37. > :05:40.economic news continues. Stephanie Flanders is here.
:05:40. > :05:44.You heard Mervyn King saying that inflation will come down
:05:44. > :05:53.dramatically next year and yet he is still listed lots of
:05:53. > :05:57.uncertainties. Are they on track? We have often heard a very vigorous
:05:57. > :06:01.defence from the Bank of England of the government's policies. We only
:06:01. > :06:05.had a bit of that today and I think it because it was a sober speech,
:06:05. > :06:10.talking about the global economic situation and the constraints that
:06:10. > :06:15.it puts on our policy makers and our recovery. He is thinking not
:06:15. > :06:19.just of the eurozone crisis, although he does want ibid solution
:06:19. > :06:24.from the eurozone summit this weekend, but also he wants the G20
:06:24. > :06:28.leaders next month to be addressing the global imbalances, which he
:06:28. > :06:32.says are at the heart of the financial crisis. Until we get that,
:06:32. > :06:36.he thinks it will be even harder for the government to bring down
:06:36. > :06:39.borrowing as fast as it wants to, and bring down the deficit, and it
:06:39. > :06:43.would put off the day when the Bank of England could finally get back
:06:43. > :06:48.to interest rates that could actually encourage savers to save,
:06:48. > :06:52.to reward them for saving, so it was a pretty sober speech for them.
:06:52. > :06:57.The Bank of England would rather not have interest rates so low
:06:57. > :07:00.three years after the crisis and would rather not be talking about
:07:00. > :07:03.still injecting emergency money into the economy.
:07:03. > :07:05.After five years in captivity, the Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, has
:07:05. > :07:10.been released by the Palestinian group Hamas and re-united with his
:07:10. > :07:12.family. It's part of a controversial prisoner swap, which
:07:12. > :07:16.will eventually see more than a thousand Palestinians released in
:07:16. > :07:19.exchange. They include some who had been serving life sentences for
:07:19. > :07:28.killing Israeli civilians and soldiers. Jeremy Bowen sent this
:07:28. > :07:33.report. This evening, Gilad Shalit was
:07:33. > :07:37.flown home. His family campaigned for five years to get him back and
:07:37. > :07:42.they won the sympathy of Israelis, for whom military service is a rite
:07:42. > :07:45.of passage for every generation. He was smiling as they drove him in.
:07:45. > :07:49.Most Israelis support the deal that was made his freedom, even though
:07:49. > :07:54.his ransom was the release of people they regard as terrorists
:07:54. > :08:00.and murderous. This morning, as his family was picked up, he was waking
:08:00. > :08:04.up in Gaza for the last time. Then Gilad Shalit, pale and thin, was
:08:04. > :08:09.marched to freedom by the head of the Hamas military wing and his
:08:09. > :08:13.bodyguards. He gave an interview to Egyptian TV. Of course I missed my
:08:13. > :08:20.family, he said, and freedom, meeting people.
:08:20. > :08:24.He hoped the deal would end wars between Israel and the Palestinians.
:08:24. > :08:30.From dawn, Hamas fighters were deployed across Gaza, a show of
:08:30. > :08:34.force ahead of what they saw as a victory. And Palestinian families
:08:34. > :08:39.were gathering to welcome the prisoners' home. Men and women who
:08:39. > :08:45.were jailed for taking up arms against Israel are exalted in
:08:45. > :08:49.Palestinian society. Their action is seen as legitimate resistance
:08:49. > :08:53.against occupiers. This 11-year-old was waiting for her mother,
:08:53. > :08:58.imprisoned for ten years for helping suicide bombers meet their
:08:58. > :09:03.targets. Her father was not been released. Back in Israel, Gilad
:09:03. > :09:09.Shalit was being welcomed by the Prime Minister, Netanyahu. He
:09:09. > :09:13.needed some good news after a difficult political summer. His
:09:13. > :09:20.father ran a tenacious campaign which helped the Israelis pay,
:09:20. > :09:23.which for them, is a high price for Gilad Shalit's freedom. In Gaza,
:09:23. > :09:27.Palestinian prisoners were welcomed by Hamas leaders, whose own need
:09:27. > :09:32.for a victory meant they cashed in their Israeli asset for left then
:09:32. > :09:36.they had hoped. Other prisoners have been deported, and illegal
:09:36. > :09:40.Israeli Act say human rights workers. On the West Bank, clashes
:09:40. > :09:46.started as they waited for the prisoners. No sign of a new
:09:46. > :09:53.positive atmosphere here, just the old one. The West Bank welcomed --
:09:53. > :09:58.welcome was led by the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas. But other
:09:58. > :10:04.Palestinians celebrated, they all knew that Hamas had succeeded where
:10:04. > :10:10.Mahmoud Abbas had failed. After 12 years inside, this man, a Hamas
:10:10. > :10:17.fighter, summed up the mood. Our enemies, he said, only respond to
:10:17. > :10:21.force. These men are being treated as conquering heroes. What freed
:10:21. > :10:24.them was a transaction between Hamas and the Israelis. It doesn't
:10:24. > :10:28.in itself get them closer to a peace agreement because there are
:10:28. > :10:36.still all the big issues of war and peace and the future of this land
:10:36. > :10:41.that remain. In Gaza tonight, they are still celebrating victory. Not
:10:41. > :10:46.a chance for peace. That will have to wait, for Palestinians and
:10:47. > :10:50.Israelis. Jeremy is in Jerusalem now. Some
:10:50. > :10:54.people today are seeing this as a major step forward in the search
:10:54. > :10:59.for a peace settlement at some stage. How do you see it?
:10:59. > :11:02.I don't see it like that to be quite honest. It didn't take a big
:11:02. > :11:08.political leap of faith to make this deal. Effectively Gilad Shalit
:11:08. > :11:11.was always effectively the sale, as long as the price was right. It so
:11:11. > :11:18.happened that this summer they managed to agree a price that
:11:18. > :11:22.suited them both. Also, big deal Wiggins President Mahmoud Abbas. He
:11:22. > :11:28.asked for Israel to release prisoners as a gesture of good
:11:28. > :11:33.faith. It did not do that. It did it go for Hamas, who were holding a
:11:33. > :11:38.man by force. So I think to wrap it all up, I would say it is a good
:11:38. > :11:42.day for family reunions on both sides. It may not make things worse,
:11:42. > :11:46.although some Israelis think that is possible. But what this does not
:11:46. > :11:50.do of itself is help any renewed attempt to get back to the
:11:50. > :11:53.negotiating table because don't forget, at the moment, there isn't
:11:53. > :11:58.a peace process of any kind worth mentioning.
:11:58. > :12:01.Fang Kew, Jeremy. -- a thank you, Jeremy.
:12:01. > :12:05.At Bristol Crown Court, a jury has heard that the man accused of
:12:05. > :12:08.murdering Joanna Yeates confessed to the killing to a prison chaplain.
:12:08. > :12:12.Vincent Tabak is said to have made the claims shortly after he was
:12:12. > :12:15.arrested in January. Miss Yeates, who was 25, was found strangled in

:12:39. > :12:43.Fox ignored official warnings about his relationship with his
:12:43. > :12:46.unofficial adviser, Adam Werrity. That's one of the findings of the
:12:46. > :12:50.Cabinet Secretary, whose report into the Fox affair was published
:12:50. > :12:56.today. He concludes that Dr Fox did breach the ministerial code but
:12:56. > :13:03.didn't gain financially from his links to Mr Werrity. James Landale
:13:03. > :13:08.has the details. It was a friendship that cost Liam
:13:08. > :13:12.Fox his job. A friendship that saw his best man pose as his unofficial
:13:12. > :13:16.adviser. A friendship that blurred their professional and personal
:13:16. > :13:21.lives. Dr Fox resigned last week after it emerged that Adam Werritty
:13:21. > :13:25.had been funded by some businessmen with defence interests, funds which
:13:25. > :13:30.on one occasion the former Defence Secretary had solicited himself.
:13:30. > :13:34.Since last week, Sir Gus O'Donnell, on the right, has been
:13:34. > :13:38.investigating and today his conclusions were unequivocal. He
:13:38. > :13:42.found no evidence that Dr Fox gained financially from his
:13:42. > :13:48.relationship with Mr Werrity, he was given no access to classified
:13:48. > :13:52.documents, but he said Dr Fox's blurred official and private life
:13:52. > :13:57.was not acceptable. It created a perceived conflict of interest and
:13:57. > :14:00.that was the failure of judgment on his part. The report also reveals
:14:00. > :14:04.that top officials at the MoD warned Dr Fox about this
:14:04. > :14:08.relationship but he ignored them. He kept them in the dark about the
:14:08. > :14:14.extent of the meetings and put his staff at risk by revealing details
:14:14. > :14:18.of foreign visits to Mr Werrity. Labour said all this was not enough.
:14:18. > :14:23.We need a much wider inquiry that looks at all of the details. Not
:14:23. > :14:27.just Liam Fox's diary and relationship with Mr Werrity, but
:14:27. > :14:33.which other government ministers met Mr Werrity and why? Who was
:14:33. > :14:37.giving Mr Werrity all of this money and why? This report did not answer
:14:37. > :14:41.all of the questions but it did say that divorce in Whitehall should be
:14:41. > :14:44.tightened. Officials should accompany ministers to meetings,
:14:44. > :14:48.civil servants should talk to ministers about acquaintances and
:14:48. > :14:54.if they are not happy, ultimately tell the Prime Minister. It is
:14:54. > :14:57.damaging for Liam Fox. We are relieved there was no financial
:14:57. > :15:01.gain and impact on national security. It is a warning to all
:15:01. > :15:06.ministers that the ministerial code is there to be honoured and if you
:15:06. > :15:10.greeted, there are serious consequence is. The consequences
:15:10. > :15:13.for Liam Fox is that he has had to spend a few days consigned to his
:15:13. > :15:18.Somerset constituency but he is back in Westminster now it is

:21:27. > :21:35.that this vaccine works gives us data about how to build better
:21:35. > :21:44.vaccines, and it gives us a tall to combine with the other measures, to
:21:44. > :21:50.help us bring the number of deaths down. Nets and insecticides will
:21:50. > :21:54.remain vital. The vaccine is no magic bullet. But even a jab that

:22:07. > :22:12.cannot be patented, because of ethical concerns. A group of
:22:12. > :22:20.leading scientists in the UK has criticised the ban, saying it could
:22:20. > :22:27.force research to go overseas. Within the past hour, the winner of
:22:27. > :22:35.this year's Man Booker Prize has been announced. It is worth �50,000.
:22:35. > :22:41.This year, the standards have been questioned by some. For the latest,
:22:41. > :22:46.we are joining our arts editor, Will Gompertz. There is much
:22:46. > :22:49.excitement and some amusement here, because Julian Barnes, the man who
:22:49. > :22:57.said a few years ago that the Booker Prize was nothing more than
:22:57. > :23:01.a game of "posh bingo" or, was the man who won. The 65-year-old has
:23:01. > :23:08.been shortlisted three times before, but this is the first occasion he
:23:08. > :23:15.has won. The winner of the 2011 Man Booker prize is Julian Barnes For
:23:15. > :23:19.The Sense Of An Ending. He took the opportunity to speak his mind.
:23:19. > :23:25.Those of you who have seen my book, whatever you may think of its
:23:25. > :23:30.contents, will probably agree that it is a beautiful object. And if
:23:30. > :23:33.the physical book, as we have come to call it, is to resist the
:23:33. > :23:39.challenge of the book, it has to look like something worth buying
:23:39. > :23:44.and keeping. Young writers dominated the short list, which
:23:44. > :23:47.included two thrillers and a western. All six books were written
:23:47. > :23:52.in the first person. But it was a writer of great experience who
:23:52. > :23:56.triumphed. The concise, 150 page novel have long been the favourite
:23:57. > :24:02.with the bookies, and, as it turns out, it was also the favourite of
:24:02. > :24:07.the judges. It spoke to us in the way of great literature. We all
:24:07. > :24:12.agreed that this was almost an archetypal book of our time. It is
:24:12. > :24:18.a book which speaks about what it is like being a human being in 21st
:24:18. > :24:24.century Britain. Later on in life, you expect a bit of rest, don't
:24:24. > :24:28.you? The main character is Tony Webster, a late middle-aged man
:24:28. > :24:32.looking back on his life, the events of which he discovers are
:24:32. > :24:36.not quite as he remembered them. The decision to choose an
:24:36. > :24:39.established literary figure will help to deflect some of the
:24:39. > :24:43.criticism directed at them for dumbing down the prize, an
:24:43. > :24:48.accusation emphatically refuted by the chairman. All of this criticism
:24:48. > :24:52.has been a load of nonsense, in my opinion. I did use the word
:24:52. > :24:58.readability, and I shall stick with it. At the end of the day, you have
:24:58. > :25:03.to ask yourself, what is a novel for, if it is not to be read?
:25:03. > :25:06.debate will probably rumble on. But tonight's event is really about
:25:06. > :25:10.celebrating writing itself, and giving an opportunity for
:25:10. > :25:15.publishers to raise awareness of their books, something Julian
:25:15. > :25:19.Barnes is now unlikely to have to worry about for some time. I
:25:19. > :25:25.suppose the thing is, if the judges' intention was to pick books
:25:25. > :25:29.that were popular, one has to say, they succeeded. This year's
:25:29. > :25:37.shortlist has sold nearly three times more printed books than last
:25:37. > :25:40.year's did in the same period of time. Tonight's football action,

:25:51. > :25:55.started to swagger around the Premier League, as their wealth
:25:55. > :25:59.demands. In Europe, they are strangely uncertain. Villarreal
:25:59. > :26:04.took the lead with Manchester City still sleeping, just three minutes
:26:04. > :26:07.gone. Mancini looked at his most Italian. He started making
:26:08. > :26:14.substitutions before half-time, but he was indebted to the Spanish
:26:14. > :26:19.defence, an own goal levelling the game. City's fans misdirected their
:26:19. > :26:24.support, repeatedly throwing rubbish, whilst their team kept
:26:24. > :26:29.wasting chances. Three minutes into injury time, a last, desperate
