:00:07. > :00:12.Tonight at ten: David Cameron attacks wealthy

:00:12. > :00:16.individuals avoiding millions in tax. The comedian Jimmy Carr, and

:00:16. > :00:22.others, are said to be using complex offshore schemes. He says

:00:22. > :00:26.he pays what he has to - the Prime Minister disagrees. Think of all

:00:26. > :00:31.those people who work hard and pay their taxes and out of that income,

:00:31. > :00:36.save up to go and see Jimmy Carr. He's taking that money and stuffing

:00:36. > :00:39.it into something where he doesn't have to pay tax. That is not fair.

:00:39. > :00:41.We'll be asking where this could lead in terms of Government action.

:00:41. > :00:47.Also tonight: On the eve of industrial action by

:00:47. > :00:53.doctors, ministers urge a last- minute rethink. The strike is

:00:53. > :00:56.pointless. It will achieve nothing. We will implement this pension deal,

:00:56. > :00:58.which is a fair and sustainable deal for NHS workers.

:00:58. > :01:04.Unemployment falls again amid warnings that the spending cuts

:01:04. > :01:08.could last up to a decade. Greece has a new coalition

:01:08. > :01:18.government broadly committed to the austerity programme.

:01:36. > :01:46.

:01:46. > :01:48.Good evening. Tax avoidance schemes used by

:01:48. > :01:52.wealthy individuals including the comedian Jimmy Carr are morally

:01:53. > :01:57.wrong according to the Prime Minister. The complex schemes,

:01:57. > :02:01.which are not unlawful, are used to shelter millions of pounds. Mr Carr

:02:01. > :02:04.is reported to have said that he pays what he has to and not a penny

:02:04. > :02:14.more. The Prime Minister's intervention is now likely to shine

:02:14. > :02:14.

:02:14. > :02:19.the spotlight on others, as James We are all very excited backstage.

:02:19. > :02:23.We get to meet the royals later on. He has performed for Her Majesty,

:02:23. > :02:29.but it is he paying enough to her Revenue and Customs. Jimmy Carr is

:02:29. > :02:33.a wealthy comedian, but he uses an unusual or score -- offshore scheme

:02:33. > :02:37.and the prime minister is not amused. So are these schemes where

:02:37. > :02:43.people are parking huge amounts of money offshore and taking loans

:02:43. > :02:47.back to minimise their tax rates are not morally acceptable. Think

:02:47. > :02:51.of all those people who work hard and pay their taxes and out of that

:02:51. > :02:54.post-tax income saved up to go and see Jimmy Carr. He is taking that

:02:54. > :02:59.money and stuffing it into something where he doesn't have to

:02:59. > :03:04.pay tax. That is not fair. Jimmy Carr has in the past got a few

:03:04. > :03:09.laughs by mocking tax avoidance, in this case by a bank. Why don't you

:03:09. > :03:12.apply for the Barclays 1% tax scam? They have put scheme on the

:03:12. > :03:16.They have put scheme on the leaflet! But according to the Times,

:03:16. > :03:21.Jimmy Carr himself transfers millions of pounds into Jersey-

:03:21. > :03:24.based scheme known as K2. He gets the vast majority of the money back

:03:24. > :03:27.as a loan and because of that, he as a loan and because of that, he

:03:27. > :03:30.doesn't have to pay income tax on it and it is totally legal. He

:03:30. > :03:34.reportedly told an audience he is paying what he has to do not a

:03:34. > :03:40.penny more. But tonight, as he arrived home, he and usually have

:03:40. > :03:43.little to say. There have also been claims that the singer Gary Barlow,

:03:43. > :03:48.who was given an OBE for organising the Jubilee Concert, has invested

:03:48. > :03:52.in a similar scheme along with some other Take that members, a scheme

:03:52. > :03:57.that invests in the music industry, but also minimise his tax. Mr

:03:57. > :04:02.Cameron said he would also look at that, but others are squire. It is

:04:02. > :04:06.not morally wrong. You don't have a duty to pay more tax than you are

:04:06. > :04:10.obliged to. It is effectively to make a gift to the government. I'm

:04:10. > :04:14.simply donating money to the government. There's no moral

:04:14. > :04:18.obligation to do that. The danger for David Cameron is Conservative

:04:18. > :04:21.supporters such as Top Shop boss Sir Philip Green have also faced

:04:21. > :04:27.allegations of tax avoidance, as has the former Tory treasurer Lord

:04:27. > :04:31.Ashcroft. Someone might ask where you draw the line. By not in favour

:04:31. > :04:36.of tax avoidance, obviously, but it is not for politicians to lecture

:04:36. > :04:40.people about Mora -- morality. If the wrong thing is happening,

:04:40. > :04:43.change the law to prevent that tax avoidance. In his Budget, George

:04:43. > :04:48.Osborne launched a crackdown on a regressive tax avoidance which he

:04:48. > :04:51.said was morally repugnant. But the Revenue and Customs is looking at

:04:51. > :04:55.the specific schemes used by Jimmy Carr and others. For now, Jimmy

:04:55. > :04:59.Carr will carry on cracking jokes, but he may soon have to pay a

:04:59. > :05:05.little more tax. Let us talk more about the prime

:05:05. > :05:08.minister's intervention. What could it lead to? It is incredibly

:05:08. > :05:12.unusual for a prime minister to get involved in a personal case like

:05:12. > :05:16.this, but the Prime Minister read about it on his wipeout in Mexico

:05:16. > :05:22.and was clearly moved enough to want to intervene. The government

:05:22. > :05:26.is already trying to crackdown on tax avoidance, there are plans for

:05:26. > :05:31.a general anti-avoidance rule. I think the Prime Minister was happy

:05:31. > :05:36.to use Jimmy Carr's case as an example, to make the argument for

:05:36. > :05:41.that. The Prime Minister was also very happy to make common cause.

:05:41. > :05:46.Many voters are feeling the pinch and up paying ever increasing taxes,

:05:46. > :05:50.they might look awry at a wealthy comedian avoiding so much tax, but

:05:50. > :05:55.there are a lot of risks in this. Many governments promised to cut

:05:55. > :05:59.down on tax avoidance, very few achieve it. There's a risky raises

:05:59. > :06:03.expectations. There's also the question about where you draw the

:06:03. > :06:06.line between acceptable tax avoidance and aggressive tax

:06:06. > :06:10.avoidance that is clearly not acceptable in the Prime Minister's

:06:10. > :06:15.eyes, but most importantly, David Cameron has effectively declared

:06:15. > :06:21.open season on all Conservative supporters and members who avoid

:06:21. > :06:25.tax. They will now be the subject of legitimate journalistic inquiry

:06:25. > :06:30.and so the risk for the Prime Minister is that he will gain some

:06:31. > :06:33.good headlines by criticising tax- avoidance, but he might just regret

:06:33. > :06:39.that down the line if it means endless stories about people who

:06:39. > :06:43.are related to him, supporters of him, who are also avoiding tax

:06:43. > :06:47.through legal means. Thank you. Within hours, many NHS doctors will

:06:47. > :06:51.start their first industrial action for almost 40 years. They're

:06:51. > :06:54.protesting against planned changes to their pensions. Ministers have

:06:54. > :06:57.urged them to call off the action, saying it's pointless. Doctors say

:06:57. > :06:59.they will treat anyone requiring emergency or urgent care, but the

:06:59. > :07:09.Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, says thousands of patients will be

:07:09. > :07:10.

:07:10. > :07:15.affected, as Branwen Jeffreys The NHS is on the eve of industrial

:07:15. > :07:19.action by doctors. Routine operations, hospital or GP

:07:19. > :07:22.appointments could be affected. At his surgery in Manchester, they are

:07:23. > :07:26.warning patients only urgent cases will be seen tomorrow. They are so

:07:26. > :07:32.angry about their pensions, son check-up clinics have been

:07:32. > :07:37.cancelled. We are not booking routine afternoon appointments in

:07:37. > :07:41.advance. But again, I would emphasise that anyone who is unwell

:07:41. > :07:46.on the day will be seen. We are absolutely clear that we do not

:07:46. > :07:51.want to cause patients any harm. But there may be limited sympathy

:07:51. > :07:54.from a public whose pensions and spending are already being squeezed.

:07:54. > :07:59.The doctors industrial action is happening at a time of austerity in

:07:59. > :08:05.the economy at large and in the public sector. There's a pay freeze

:08:05. > :08:09.in place in the NHS and many lower- paid staff are also seeing their

:08:09. > :08:13.future pensions cut. I would apologise to the public that we've

:08:13. > :08:17.got to this situation. I think the public have to ask why do Oscars

:08:17. > :08:20.feel that for the first time in nearly 40 years they are prepared

:08:20. > :08:22.to take this sort of action. It has not been something they've done

:08:22. > :08:27.not been something they've done lightly. So how do the changes

:08:27. > :08:34.look? At the moment the doctor earning �120,000 a year can expect

:08:34. > :08:41.to retire at 60 on a pension of �48,000 a year with a tax-free lump

:08:41. > :08:45.sum of �140,000. From 2015, junior doctors will have to work longer,

:08:46. > :08:49.retiring at 68 on an annual pension retiring at 68 on an annual pension

:08:49. > :08:53.of �68,000 and they will pay extra contributions during their career.

:08:53. > :08:58.The Health Secretary told me the public already put billions into a

:08:58. > :09:01.scheme he says is one of the most generous in the country. Phi you

:09:01. > :09:06.innocent saying to doctors that this deal is as good as it gets and

:09:06. > :09:11.they have to take it on leave it? The deal is the best available. We

:09:11. > :09:16.gave the trade unions and opportunity to influence several of

:09:16. > :09:19.the aspects of the scheme. We know and other trade unions in the NHS

:09:19. > :09:23.know we should go ahead with implementing the scheme and the BMA

:09:23. > :09:27.industrial action will not been for want that. On the brink of this

:09:27. > :09:32.dispute, there is little sign of resolution. Tomorrow it is patients

:09:32. > :09:35.who will be the first to find out what the impact will be.

:09:35. > :09:38.Unemployment has fallen for the third month in succession, to just

:09:39. > :09:42.over 2.6 million. The private sector has helped ease the pressure,

:09:42. > :09:45.creating more jobs in the past three months than were lost in the

:09:45. > :09:48.public sector. But there's been another rise in part-time workers

:09:48. > :09:58.as people struggle to find full- time jobs. Our chief economics

:09:58. > :09:59.

:09:59. > :10:03.correspondent, Hugh Pym, has been At a time of generally gloomy

:10:03. > :10:09.economic news, there was something bit brighter today. Low

:10:09. > :10:11.unemployment, which may have come as a surprise to some. At this

:10:11. > :10:14.Graduate recruitment Fair in Birmingham, there were some

:10:14. > :10:19.positive development. The director of the UK-based domestic appliance

:10:19. > :10:23.business told me sales were growing, helped by despots -- exports and

:10:23. > :10:26.they needed new staff. We have opportunities in design and

:10:26. > :10:30.engineering and other areas, whether it is logistics or

:10:30. > :10:33.marketing, to feel that growth. We have doubled the number we have in

:10:33. > :10:35.the last two years and we are looking to increase that in the

:10:35. > :10:39.looking to increase that in the future. We have plenty of vacancies.

:10:39. > :10:42.The full extent of job creation can be seen in the latest employment

:10:42. > :10:47.figures. In the first three months of the year, private sector

:10:47. > :10:51.employment rose by 205,000. Fat employment rose by 205,000. Fat

:10:51. > :10:55.easily outstripped cuts of 39,000 in the public sector. But there are

:10:55. > :11:00.some other jobs fair, like Will, who have not found a full-time

:11:01. > :11:04.doping yet, a year after graduating. I feel as a graduate we are one of

:11:04. > :11:07.thousands of unemployed graduates and I hate having to go round

:11:07. > :11:12.telling people my occupation is unemployed. People think you can't

:11:12. > :11:16.be bothered to that is really hard to take because I can. Recent

:11:16. > :11:20.developments in the jobs market are quite puzzling. Unemployment has

:11:20. > :11:23.fallen even though the UK is in recession. It could be that the

:11:23. > :11:25.latest figures reflect decisions and activity at the end of last

:11:25. > :11:29.and activity at the end of last year. In other words, unemployment

:11:29. > :11:34.is a lagging indicator. And if you look at the narrower measure of

:11:34. > :11:38.unemployment, those claiming jobseeker's allowance, it rose by

:11:38. > :11:43.just over 8,000 in May. Despite falling for a couple of months

:11:43. > :11:46.before that, it is now slightly before that, it is now slightly

:11:46. > :11:50.higher than it was last October. In other words, no improvement. It is

:11:50. > :11:55.very odd that economic growth is doing badly -- fairly badly, but

:11:55. > :11:58.economic growth is doing well. It may be that we get a rude awakening

:11:58. > :12:01.and the labour market will disappoint. Maybe of the doom and

:12:01. > :12:06.gloom has been overstated and we will see economic growth

:12:06. > :12:10.accelerated. So the future is uncertain, the Bank of England

:12:10. > :12:14.thinks so. Its policy makers considered cutting interest rates

:12:14. > :12:17.at their recent meeting and pumping up new money to boost the economy.

:12:17. > :12:20.They are worried the climate could get worse.

:12:20. > :12:24.Greece has a new government - a coalition led by the centre-right

:12:24. > :12:27.New Democracy party. The new prime minister, Antonis Samaras, said his

:12:27. > :12:32.duty was to pull Greece back from the brink of bankruptcy and to

:12:32. > :12:35.offer hope to the Greek people. His coalition is expected to urge

:12:35. > :12:37.creditors to ease the terms of the country's bail out. From Athens,

:12:37. > :12:47.our correspondent Chris Morris reports. His report contains some

:12:47. > :12:49.

:12:49. > :12:54.Three days after an election watched around the world, an

:12:54. > :12:58.Orthodox blessing as Antonis Samaras takes office as prime

:12:58. > :13:01.minister of Greece. He will lead a coalition government and the rest

:13:02. > :13:06.of Europe will be praying that it can bring some sense of stability.

:13:06. > :13:11.But there are no guarantees. He came out to face the cameras

:13:11. > :13:14.knowing that a tough road lies ahead. Mr Samaras has just been

:13:14. > :13:18.sworn in as Prime Minister and he wants the eurozone to give his new

:13:18. > :13:23.government a little bit of leeway, a bit of breathing space, otherwise

:13:23. > :13:27.he fears that support for SYRIZA, the main opposition party which

:13:27. > :13:32.campaigned against the bail out agreement, will grow and grow. And

:13:32. > :13:36.he promised to try to restore a sense of hope at home. TRANSLATION:

:13:36. > :13:40.I'm asking the Greek people to show patriotism, solidarity and trust

:13:40. > :13:45.and with God's help we will do whatever we can to get grease out

:13:45. > :13:49.of this crisis. And in another part of Athens, a reminder that this

:13:49. > :13:55.isn't just about numbers. Real people are trapped by the eurozone

:13:55. > :14:02.crisis. Here, farmers from Crete are handing out 27 tonnes of free

:14:02. > :14:08.food to people on low incomes. There are a lot of people in my

:14:08. > :14:12.country who are in need. We will try to help. This is a country in

:14:12. > :14:15.its 5th year of recession and still deep in debt. So what does Mr

:14:15. > :14:18.Samaras expect from the rest of Samaras expect from the rest of

:14:18. > :14:22.Europe? Crease may ask for two more years to meet its fiscal targets.

:14:22. > :14:25.That could mean billions of Euros in extra funding. The government

:14:25. > :14:28.may want to reverse a big cut in the minimum wage imposed this year.

:14:28. > :14:32.And it is seeking faster delivery And it is seeking faster delivery

:14:32. > :14:36.of EU investment funds to create jobs and growth. But in Berlin and

:14:36. > :14:44.other capitals, there's limited enthusiasm for giving too much to a

:14:44. > :14:48.country which for years spent more Macro Angela Merkel said she had

:14:48. > :14:51.congratulate Mr Samaras, but she has already made it clear that she

:14:51. > :14:55.doesn't see huge room for manoeuvre when it comes to changing the terms

:14:55. > :14:59.of the bail out. They were dancing in front of the parliament in

:14:59. > :15:03.Athens tonight, proof that Greeks still know how to enjoy life. But

:15:03. > :15:12.no one knows how long the new government will last. There are

:15:12. > :15:18.more tough times ahead. Crisis The programme of spending cuts to

:15:18. > :15:21.tackle Britain's deficit could last as long as ten years. That's the

:15:21. > :15:25.warning delivered by Sir Jeremy Heywood in a speech this evening.

:15:25. > :15:29.He spoke on the day David Cameron revealed plans to promote house

:15:29. > :15:31.building to promote growth. He said there would be no borrowing and

:15:31. > :15:41.spending spree. Our political editor Nick Robinson followed the

:15:41. > :15:44.

:15:44. > :15:48.Prime Minister on a visit to Mexico City.... Mucho generosa...

:15:48. > :15:53.future may speak Spanish and it may be here in Mexico. Today David

:15:53. > :16:03.Cameron tried to drum up a share of this country's growing trade for

:16:03. > :16:08.British businesses. How the Prime Minister must envy that, when

:16:08. > :16:12.Britain has an economy which seems stuck going nowhere. The Business

:16:13. > :16:17.Secretary talked of us being in a slump like the 1930s. Do you fear

:16:17. > :16:21.he is right? I wouldn't put it like that. But we are facing in Europe a

:16:21. > :16:25.difficult set of circumstances that is harming our growth and our

:16:25. > :16:29.prospects. It's going to take time to fix. There was some good news at

:16:29. > :16:32.the G20, but frankly, Britain needs to roll up its sleeves, do

:16:32. > :16:38.everything we can to get our economy moving. The Government's

:16:38. > :16:43.been talking for months about using Britain's low long-term interest

:16:43. > :16:46.rates to underwrite building more homes. Are you in effect saying

:16:46. > :16:50.that the British Government is contemplating building their way

:16:50. > :16:54.out of this crisis? Let's be clear about what we can't do and what we

:16:55. > :16:59.can. What we can't do is go on some spending and borrowing spree. You

:16:59. > :17:02.can't borrow your way out of debt. What we can do is use the fact that

:17:02. > :17:07.because of our credibility, we have record low interest rates, what we

:17:07. > :17:11.can do is make sure we pass those low interest rates onto businesses,

:17:11. > :17:15.onto home owners, make sure we go ahead with the infrastructure to

:17:15. > :17:20.help our economy and get houses built in Britain again. David

:17:20. > :17:23.Cameron is sounding just a little more optimistic about the eurozone

:17:23. > :17:28.sorting itself out. Are you confident, after your talks, that

:17:28. > :17:31.the EU will now bail out not just Greece, but the big economies like

:17:31. > :17:37.Spain and Italy, who need to be bailed out if this eurozone crisis

:17:37. > :17:41.is to end? I'm confident that they know how serious the situation is

:17:41. > :17:45.and they know that if they don't use all the instruments, all the

:17:45. > :17:48.institutions of the eurozone to stand behind their currency, they

:17:48. > :17:52.will face real problems. It's sometimes frustrating that they

:17:52. > :17:55.have to get so close to the brink before they take the steps

:17:55. > :17:58.necessary. David Cameron is confronting the likelihood that

:17:58. > :18:04.even though the global economic situation didn't get worse this

:18:04. > :18:08.week, it may not get better for a very long time and this as news

:18:08. > :18:11.comes from home that his Cabinet Secretary, Sir Jeremy Heywood, has

:18:12. > :18:21.predicted that spending cuts could last not just seven or eight more

:18:22. > :18:24.

:18:24. > :18:27.years, but maybe ten. Coming up on tonight's programme: High hopes at

:18:27. > :18:35.England's Euro 2012 camp. But the goal that wasn't raises new

:18:35. > :18:38.questions about the use of goal- line technology.

:18:38. > :18:42.A major United Nations conference featuring more than 100 world

:18:42. > :18:47.leaders has opened in Brazil to chart a new more sustainable course

:18:47. > :18:50.of development. It's 20 years since Rio hosted the Earth Summit and the

:18:50. > :18:53.UN secretary-general, Ban Ki-Moon today warned that time was running

:18:53. > :18:56.out for the planet and complained that progress in the past two

:18:56. > :19:02.decades had been far too slow. Our science editor David Shukman looks

:19:02. > :19:06.at the challenges ahead. Scientists are warning that we're pushing the

:19:06. > :19:10.planet beyond its natural limits, that economic growth is exacting a

:19:10. > :19:15.cost on the environment, that can't go on without jeopardising the

:19:15. > :19:19.chances of future generations. The talks in Rio this week, 20 years

:19:19. > :19:21.after the famous Earth Summit, are about charting a new, more

:19:22. > :19:29.sustainable course and the event began with an appeal from a

:19:29. > :19:36.teenager. You have 72 hours to decide the fate of your children,

:19:36. > :19:39.my children, my children's children. APPLAUSE

:19:39. > :19:44.A key theme of the summit is that the natural world isn't just nice

:19:44. > :19:49.to look at, people actually depend on it. A rainforest like this helps

:19:49. > :19:53.create rain and the water supply goes to farms and cities and

:19:53. > :19:58.generates electricity. Lose the forest and you risk all that.

:19:58. > :20:02.Getting a meaningful agreement on this is proving difficult. So

:20:02. > :20:07.what's set to be agreed here by the leaders at this Rio+20 Summit this

:20:07. > :20:11.week? First, a plan for so-called sustainable development goals,

:20:11. > :20:15.though these haven't bb defined. A promise to protect the oceans, but

:20:15. > :20:25.again there's little specific. And a commitment to measure well being,

:20:25. > :20:27.beyond the usual economic numbers of GDP.

:20:27. > :20:31.Today the Deputy Prime Minister. David Cameron and Barack Obama are

:20:31. > :20:36.among the leaders not here. The negotiations have watered

:20:36. > :20:39.everything down. When you're dealing with over 190 countries

:20:39. > :20:43.around the negotiating table, you've got a problem, which is to

:20:43. > :20:49.get everyone to agree, you end up diluting things so that everybody

:20:49. > :20:53.agrees an the end result is more insip ID than you'd like.

:20:53. > :20:56.Expectations had been high that this summit might forge a new

:20:56. > :20:59.relationship with the planet. Instead of acting together the

:20:59. > :21:03.countries have fought over who should take responsibility. And the

:21:03. > :21:10.result - all the talk of saving the planet will be followed by more

:21:10. > :21:14.talk. The Burmese opposition leader Aung

:21:14. > :21:19.San Suu Kyi has received an honorary degree from Oxford

:21:19. > :21:26.University, 19 years after the award was made. She received the

:21:26. > :21:30.doctorate on her second day of her visit to the UK.

:21:30. > :21:34.Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, has set out plans to deal with

:21:34. > :21:37.excessive pay in the boardroom. He wants to force companies to hold

:21:37. > :21:42.shareholder votes every three years on the remuneration of senior

:21:42. > :21:48.executives. But Labour accused him of diluting the proposal by

:21:48. > :21:52.abandoning plans for annual votes. Robert Peston has the details.

:21:52. > :21:57.Money, rewards for bosses of FTSE 100 companies rising six times

:21:57. > :22:01.faster than most people's pay. The owners, shareholders have been

:22:01. > :22:05.protesting with big votes against executive pay at William Hill,

:22:05. > :22:10.Aviva, Barclays and WPP among others. So the Business Secretary

:22:10. > :22:13.is giving investors more power to force restraint. Today, I can

:22:13. > :22:17.therefore announce a far-reaching package of reforms that will

:22:17. > :22:21.strengthen the hands of shareholders to challenge excessive

:22:21. > :22:26.pay. The executive pay reforms include a binding vote at least

:22:26. > :22:29.every three years on how and how much top executives are paid. No

:22:29. > :22:33.golden goodbyes to failed boss that's haven't been approved by

:22:33. > :22:38.shareholders and the publication every year of a single figure

:22:39. > :22:43.combining all elements of boss rewards. That would have shown pay

:22:43. > :22:49.of �11.3 million for David Brennan, who recently quit of chief

:22:49. > :22:54.executive of Astra Zena. �11.6 million for Sir Martin Sorrell of

:22:54. > :22:58.WPP. And �21 million for Barclays Bob Diamond. Vince Cable should

:22:58. > :23:03.have had an annual shareholder vote. He could have done a few other

:23:03. > :23:07.things, like put an employee on the remuneration committee on -- of the

:23:07. > :23:13.board. It's been ten years since investors in the City were first

:23:13. > :23:19.given a formal say on pay. Now since then, bosses rewards have

:23:19. > :23:22.gone through the room, quadrupling in the past year. When I talked to

:23:22. > :23:27.those in boardrooms who set the pay, they say they completely understand

:23:27. > :23:33.public anger about all this, but they also say they have to pay the

:23:33. > :23:37.going rate. Bosses will try to show restraint, says the President of

:23:37. > :23:42.the business lobby group of CBI who is also a boardroom eminence.

:23:42. > :23:45.will help focus the minds of those that do pay themselves too much

:23:45. > :23:50.that there's a social responsibility here, which

:23:50. > :23:54.Government are focused upon and business must enact. As for the

:23:54. > :23:58.investors who've been revolting in their so-called shareholder spring,

:23:58. > :24:02.have they now got a taste of humiliating top company executives?

:24:02. > :24:05.I don't think you can expect a shareholder spring every year.

:24:05. > :24:08.These companies we're talking about, they're major providers of growth

:24:08. > :24:12.and jobs for the British economy and we want them to be able to get

:24:12. > :24:17.on with that and get on with what they do well. Theened of big bucks

:24:17. > :24:20.in the boardroom? No chance. Maybe the start of rewards more closely

:24:20. > :24:26.linked to wealth creation for the millions who own British companies

:24:26. > :24:31.in their pension savings. England's footballers returned to

:24:31. > :24:34.their Polish base today to prepare for the quarter finals of Euro 2012

:24:34. > :24:37.after beating Ukraine last night. The match included that

:24:37. > :24:41.controversial decision not to award a goal to Ukraine. FIFA's President

:24:41. > :24:47.said today that goal-line technology was now a necessity. Our

:24:47. > :24:51.sports editor, David Bond, reports. England united for the first time

:24:51. > :24:55.in years, the country's footballers seem to be pulling in the same

:24:55. > :25:00.direction. Victory over Ukraine might have been a bit fortunate,

:25:00. > :25:04.but these players are now daring to dream. Happy to still be here,

:25:04. > :25:08.England's players were in a generous mood as they returned to

:25:08. > :25:14.their Krakow base today. Wayne Rooney summed up the spirit in the

:25:14. > :25:17.camp, writing on his Facebook page, he said "It feels great to be part

:25:17. > :25:20.of the tournament at last and delighted to get a goal. I can't

:25:20. > :25:25.ever remember feeling happier to score for England, so proud to be

:25:25. > :25:29.part of this team." For the Football Association, it's

:25:29. > :25:32.vindication of their approach after things went so badly wrong at the

:25:32. > :25:36.World Cup in South Africa. There's a lot of positive feed back coming

:25:36. > :25:40.from the players. That's the most important thing. It comes from

:25:41. > :25:45.within. We've hopefully learned from previous turnaments and taken

:25:45. > :25:49.some of the good bits and added new parts to that. England's unexpected

:25:49. > :25:54.success has been put down, in part, to their decision to base

:25:54. > :25:57.themselves here in Krakow, a move which has helped the team shed

:25:57. > :26:02.their untouchable tag. Their progress to the quarter finals can

:26:02. > :26:08.also be explained by a healthy dose of luck.

:26:08. > :26:12.Television replays showed this goal from Marko Devic crossed the line

:26:12. > :26:17.before John Terry's clearance. Unlike the 2010 World Cup this time

:26:17. > :26:21.England were on the right end of a goal-line controversy. Sepp Blatter

:26:21. > :26:25.might be a late convert, even he now supports the need for change.

:26:25. > :26:29.He said on Twitter "After last night's match, goal line technology

:26:29. > :26:34.is no longer an alternative, but a any."

:26:34. > :26:40.Up to now, UEFA have opposed that. But today they admitted they'd got

:26:40. > :26:47.it wrong. The ball crossed the line. That was unfortunately a human

:26:47. > :26:51.mistake made by a human being. Ukraine's misfortune won't have

:26:51. > :26:56.gone unnoticed at Italy's training camp. These players present England
