:00:27. > :00:30.opened fire on refugees fleeing the country into neighbouring Turkey.
:00:30. > :00:33.Two people were killed trying to cross the border while a number of
:00:33. > :00:37.others were injured in a refugee camp on the Turkish side. The
:00:37. > :00:41.violence comes amid scores of deaths in other parts of Syria and
:00:41. > :00:45.fears that a UN-backed peace plan brokered by the former UN
:00:45. > :00:50.Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, is unraveling. Our correspondent,
:00:50. > :00:55.Jonathan Head, sent this report. The violence building up just
:00:55. > :01:00.inside Syria spilled over the border today. Refugees who thought
:01:00. > :01:10.they'd reached safety in Turkey either fired on or caught in
:01:10. > :01:15.
:01:15. > :01:17.They are killing us, just come and see all the dead. You, the world,
:01:17. > :01:27.come and watch. They are slaughtering them with knives,

:01:28. > :01:33.bombing the houses. You people help There were 20 injured being treated
:01:33. > :01:36.in this hospital and for the first time, some had been shot on the
:01:36. > :01:40.Turkish side. The failure of international
:01:40. > :01:44.diplomacy to stop the fighting has been a crushing blow for refugees
:01:44. > :01:48.who've been waiting many months to go home. Even more so for those
:01:48. > :01:55.who've been driven here just in the past week when the Annan peace plan
:01:55. > :02:01.was supposed to be gaining momentum. TRANSLATION: The helicopter gunship
:02:01. > :02:05.swooped down on the village. This man arrived three days ago from a
:02:05. > :02:09.destroyed village. Bullets hit two of his sons who're now in Turkish
:02:09. > :02:12.hospitals. The Kofi Annan peace plan, far from being Syria's last
:02:12. > :02:16.great hope, has for the people who've recently arrived at this
:02:16. > :02:21.camp brought only increased suffering. Sort of a diplomatic
:02:21. > :02:25.miracle here in the next 24 hours, they believe they'll just have to
:02:25. > :02:29.fight for their freedom. Their Turkish hosts are now inclined to
:02:29. > :02:33.agree. The Annan peace plan is the only one endorsed by the Security
:02:33. > :02:36.Council, including China and Russia. It calls for the Government to
:02:36. > :02:39.begin withdrawing its forces and stop using heavy weapons in
:02:39. > :02:43.population centres. For the opposition to commit to stop
:02:43. > :02:46.fighting. And calls for all parties to ensure
:02:46. > :02:51.humanitarian assistance reaches all areas affected by the fighting and
:02:51. > :02:56.to implement a daily two-hour humanitarian pause.
:02:56. > :03:01.Ahead of tomorrow's deadline, the Syrian Government has escalated its
:03:01. > :03:05.attacks on opposition-held areas and now it's attaching impossible
:03:05. > :03:08.conditions to its promise withdrawal.
:03:08. > :03:13.This is the village of Latamneh today. They've been pulling people
:03:13. > :03:16.out of what is left of their homes after another bombardment. 35
:03:16. > :03:22.people are believed to have died here, including women and children.
:03:22. > :03:26.A peace plan is unraveling. But if it fails, what then? There's
:03:26. > :03:34.no alternative plan at the UN and little likelihood of enough
:03:35. > :03:38.agreement there to end Syria's agony.
:03:38. > :03:42.Options for a new type of private pension to replace final salary
:03:42. > :03:45.schemes are being considered by ministers. One idea could involve a
:03:45. > :03:48.company guaranteeing a fixed pension pot on retirement. The
:03:48. > :03:52.Government says while many businesses want to offer decent
:03:52. > :03:55.pensions, final salary schemes are just too expensive. Our business
:03:55. > :04:00.correspondent, Emma Simpson, reports.
:04:00. > :04:03.Building up the pension pot. It's not as easy as it once was.
:04:03. > :04:08.Generous final salary pension schemes are increasingly scarce.
:04:08. > :04:12.Today, new workers usually have to shoulder all the risk without a
:04:12. > :04:16.guaranteed return. But the Pensions Minister says
:04:16. > :04:20.there could be a third way - a new type of pension that would see
:04:20. > :04:24.employers and their workers sharing some of those investment risks.
:04:24. > :04:28.What we are trying to make sure is that firms who still want to offer
:04:28. > :04:31.a decent pensions deal are helped to to so. Maybe it won't be the
:04:31. > :04:39.gold-plated guaranteed pensions of the past but maybe an element of
:04:39. > :04:43.guarantee, maybe the work take some uncertainty and the firm -- worker.
:04:43. > :04:47.Morrisons is already taking this new path, as well as its existing
:04:47. > :04:51.schemes it's also going to offer its workers a guaranteed pension
:04:51. > :04:55.fund on retirement. But workers would then have to decide what to
:04:55. > :05:00.do with that money. These days, only one in three
:05:00. > :05:05.private sector workers are reckoned to be in any occupational pension
:05:05. > :05:11.plan, and with final salary schemes disappearing fast, the challenge of
:05:11. > :05:13.how to secure enough income for a decent retirement has never been so
:05:13. > :05:20.important. If investment returns don't work
:05:20. > :05:24.out, if inflation turns out to be very high, if costs work out to be
:05:24. > :05:28.very expensive or if everyone starts living much, much longer,
:05:28. > :05:34.the old way of thinking about pensions will have to change.
:05:34. > :05:37.But some in the industry say the Government's missing the point.
:05:37. > :05:43.underlying problem with them, the thing that needs to be addressed if
:05:43. > :05:46.we are to fix the crisis is that people aren't paying enough in.
:05:46. > :05:49.Until we increase the rate, we won't fix the problem. Getting it
:05:49. > :05:52.full is the challenge. Many companies though may be sceptical
:05:52. > :05:59.about giving any more future pension guarantees. It's early days,
:05:59. > :06:03.but the debate has now begun. A soldier who died in hospital in
:06:03. > :06:08.Birmingham more than two months after being injured in an explosion
:06:08. > :06:13.in Afghanistan has tonight been named as Corporal Jack Stanley from
:06:13. > :06:20.the Queen's Royal hussards. He was seriously injured by a roadside
:06:20. > :06:24.bomb while on patrol east of Lashkar Gah. The NUT has voted to
:06:24. > :06:28.ballot its members on strike action if the Government scraps national
:06:28. > :06:31.pay rates. The review body, which deals with pay and conditions, has
:06:31. > :06:35.been asked to investigate bringing wages in line with local pay rates
:06:35. > :06:39.across England and Wales. It's one of the world's most
:06:39. > :06:43.reclusive and repressive regimes and this week, North Korea will
:06:43. > :06:47.stage the biggest celebration in its history to commemorate its
:06:47. > :06:53.founding father. The 100th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il
:06:53. > :06:57.Sung will be marked by the launch of a rocket and ceremonies across
:06:57. > :07:06.the land. Damien Grammaticas is the only British broadcaster inside the
:07:06. > :07:13.country and sent this report from the capital, Pyongyang. Every
:07:13. > :07:19.single one in the crowd, perhaps 100,000 strong with a week of
:07:19. > :07:24.celebrations. And emotion almost sounds
:07:24. > :07:29.exaggerated. North Korea's two dead dictators, the Kims, father and son,
:07:29. > :07:32.are worshipped like Gods and its people are urged to give thanks for
:07:32. > :07:36.the way their nation they're told has been turned into a powerful
:07:36. > :07:41.prosperous land. Today, few outsiders would
:07:41. > :07:45.recognise North Korea as powerful or prosperous, but what sustains it
:07:45. > :07:48.is a personality cult built around the Kim dynasty and the system of
:07:48. > :07:55.totalitarian control. As the crowds dispersed, we were
:07:55. > :08:01.told that we could not talk to any of them. Instead, we were brought
:08:01. > :08:05.to this model silk spinning factory. It's never fired a single worker, I
:08:05. > :08:12.was told. They are all so good. Apparently, it's all down to the
:08:13. > :08:17.generous guidance of the two Kims. Kim ill sun always grinning in
:08:17. > :08:23.every image and Kim Jong-Il, less Smiley. Under their watch, the
:08:23. > :08:26.workers get interactive instruction in mathematics, physics and English.
:08:26. > :08:30.This birthday celebration for Kim Il Sung, she says, is the biggest
:08:30. > :08:33.national event in our country. I'm going to celebrate by working even
:08:33. > :08:38.harder. Outside, there are glimpses of a different North Korea that
:08:38. > :08:44.flash past which we'd like to stop and see but we can't.
:08:44. > :08:48.They are hints of a less perfect world. The grey monotony of the
:08:48. > :08:53.city, long, patient queues for the morning tram, the uniformity of it
:08:53. > :09:00.all, reflections that suggest the land of the Kims isn't quite a
:09:00. > :09:07.socialist paradise. Almost a century after the Titanic
:09:07. > :09:13.set off on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, memorial
:09:13. > :09:19.cruise is retracing her route. HMS Balmoral has arrived in Cobh this
:09:19. > :09:22.evening, the last port of call visited before sinking. Jon Kay
:09:22. > :09:27.sent this report. This was always going to be an unusual cruise, and
:09:27. > :09:34.so it's proving to be. After rough seas and gale force
:09:34. > :09:41.winds, a welcoming sight for passengers on the memorial voyage.
:09:41. > :09:44.When Titanic made her final stop here 100 years ago, this port was
:09:44. > :09:48.called Queenstown, it's it's changed to Cobh, but the welcome
:09:48. > :09:53.remains the same. 100 years on, isn't it. It's good to remember it
:09:53. > :09:59.I think. It's part of our history, of course. We are hopefully making
:09:59. > :10:03.a few Bob out of it now, we need it badly! For the ship's passengers
:10:03. > :10:07.who were tracing Titanic's exact route, it was a final chance to be
:10:07. > :10:12.on dry land before crossing the Atlantic. To be here and be part of
:10:13. > :10:17.this, it's a once in a lifetime experience. It's very touching.
:10:17. > :10:21.just brings you right back to the Titanic.
:10:21. > :10:26.123 Irish passengers boarded here a century ago. Most of them drowned
