:00:21. > :00:24.Not safe, not fair, Jeremy Hunt doesn't care.
:00:25. > :00:27.There's still no sign of an end to the argument over pay and working
:00:28. > :00:30.hours as doctors consider their next move in this long-running dispute.
:00:31. > :00:33.We are coming out to say that tired doctors do not make good doctors.
:00:34. > :00:35.We are seriously concerned about this new contract.
:00:36. > :00:37.Nearly 3,000 non-emergency procedures were cancelled today
:00:38. > :00:43.as Ministers claimed they were still ready to negotiate.
:00:44. > :00:47.I think what we are proposing is going to mean that the vast
:00:48. > :00:49.majority of doctors don't see their pay cut -
:00:50. > :00:52.in fact many of them will see their pay go up -
:00:53. > :00:55.but it will mean we can offer better care for patients.
:00:56. > :00:58.But the NHS employers say time is running out,
:00:59. > :01:00.hinting that a new contract could be imposed within days.
:01:01. > :01:06.Scotland Yard orders a review of its procedures after criticism
:01:07. > :01:12.of the way it's handled allegations of historical child sexual abuse.

:02:04. > :02:09.Time is running out to agree a deal with junior doctors in England,
:02:10. > :02:11.according to the man who's leading the talks
:02:12. > :02:16.Danny Mortimer was speaking as junior doctors took a second day
:02:17. > :02:18.of strike action in their long-running dispute over the terms
:02:19. > :02:24.Some 3,000 non-emergency operations and treatments were cancelled today.
:02:25. > :02:26.There's now mounting speculation that ministers will impose
:02:27. > :02:29.the new contract if a deal isn't reached within days,
:02:30. > :02:34.as our health editor Hugh Pym reports.
:02:35. > :02:44.They came to protest at Westminster and they mounted pickets
:02:45. > :02:46.and demonstrations at hospitals around England.
:02:47. > :02:49.I think if we're working longer hours we're tired and we're not
:02:50. > :02:52.getting the support and training that we need, then I don't how
:02:53. > :02:58.Junior doctors walked out of routine and non-emergency care
:02:59. > :03:02.in their dispute with the Government over pay and working hours.
:03:03. > :03:05.We will stand firm for the sake of our patients and for the sake
:03:06. > :03:08.of future generations of doctors of the NHS in this country.
:03:09. > :03:14.A pensioners group joined junior doctors demonstrating
:03:15. > :03:17.here at Milton Keynes University Hospital.
:03:18. > :03:19.Patients and visitors were divided in their view on the merits
:03:20. > :03:30.This isn't doctors shouldn't do that.
:03:31. > :03:39.One visitor showed her sympathies by delivering food to the pickets.
:03:40. > :03:41.It's the middle of the day and the Outpatient Department
:03:42. > :03:46.here in Milton Keynes is usually pretty busy, but not today
:03:47. > :03:48.because of the strike, though the hospital says it's
:03:49. > :03:52.cancelled fewer outpatient appointments than it did on the last
:03:53. > :03:54.strike day in January and it's the same story for
:03:55. > :04:06.Where was he, the Health Secretary was making his case
:04:07. > :04:09.that the Government had moved a long way to meet doctors' concerns
:04:10. > :04:14.There's just the one issue about pay rates for Saturdays and what we're
:04:15. > :04:16.offering is something that is better for doctors who work regularly
:04:17. > :04:19.on a Saturday and for nurses working in the same hospital
:04:20. > :04:22.and for the ambulance driver who takes a patient to the hospital
:04:23. > :04:24.and for the healthcare assistants in that hospital.
:04:25. > :04:28.It's a fair deal and we should be working together to do
:04:29. > :04:32.So what happens next in this dispute?
:04:33. > :04:35.Well, the Government's made pretty clear that if negotiations don't get
:04:36. > :04:38.anywhere it will impose a new junior doctors contract and that point
:04:39. > :04:44.seems to have got a lot closer given that talks have stalled again.
:04:45. > :04:47.One senior NHS leader said it was legitimate for the Government
:04:48. > :04:50.to consider imposing a contract, though at this hospital the boss
:04:51. > :04:52.acknowledged it wasn't clear how it might work.
:04:53. > :04:55.We don't know what imposition looks like.
:04:56. > :04:59.What I do know is that we've got some brilliant relationships
:05:00. > :05:02.with our junior doctors here and I have no doubt
:05:03. > :05:07.that we will work through things here at Milton Keynes.
:05:08. > :05:10.As doctors took to social media, it emerged the Government made
:05:11. > :05:12.what it billed as a final offer late yesterday,
:05:13. > :05:15.it was rejected by the BMA today, leaving imposition of the contract
:05:16. > :05:25.NHS officials in England have told Ministers that detailed plans need
:05:26. > :05:29.to be made now if a new contract for junior doctors is to be brought
:05:30. > :05:32.But right now there's no sign of agreement,
:05:33. > :05:35.and the prospect of imposing the new contract is growing more
:05:36. > :05:39.With more detail on that and the issues at the heart
:05:40. > :05:45.of the dispute, here's Christian Fraser.
:05:46. > :05:47.Let's remind ourselves of the contract
:05:48. > :05:49.that is currently on the table and consider for a second
:05:50. > :05:54.So, we know the Government has offered this 11% rise in basic pay
:05:55. > :05:56.in return for a cut in the hours that currently qualify
:05:57. > :06:02.The key issue for the Government is that by the end of this process
:06:03. > :06:05.Saturdays are considered a normal working day for the NHS.
:06:06. > :06:08.The extra pay for unsociable hours would only start from 5.00pm
:06:09. > :06:13.Sundays will still attract the higher premium.
:06:14. > :06:17.Instead they want to retain the extra pay
:06:18. > :06:22.for a cut in the basic salary - so instead of that 11%,
:06:23. > :06:27.And that's because some junior doctors are complaining that under
:06:28. > :06:31.the Government's offer their pay is going to fall.
:06:32. > :06:35.They might also say - and they do - that it is about safe working hours.
:06:36. > :06:39.The question is, does Jeremy Hunt impose it?
:06:40. > :06:42.In the past 24 hours, the Government have sent what it
:06:43. > :06:46.calls its last significant last offer, and in turn the BMA has
:06:47. > :06:50.come back with its counter proposal, neither of which appear acceptable.
:06:51. > :06:59.As for the NHS employers, well, they've had enough.
:07:00. > :07:05.This issue can't go on forever. The NHS needs some certainty in terms of
:07:06. > :07:15.how it moves forward. What Jeremy Hunt is not going to do
:07:16. > :07:18.is accept any offer that makes Saturdays special, because that
:07:19. > :07:20.would complicate negotiations with other groups in the NHS,
:07:21. > :07:22.like the consultants, The hospitals need to prepare
:07:23. > :07:27.for the next intake of junior doctors, who start work in August,
:07:28. > :07:30.and the job rotations that follow. The employers say a deal must be
:07:31. > :07:34.found my mid February. So what options are left open
:07:35. > :07:37.to junior doctors if Mr Hunt does There's not much opportunity
:07:38. > :07:43.to negotiate with Government. It's not like you can strong
:07:44. > :07:46.arm them into saying, I won't work for you if you don't
:07:47. > :07:49.increase my pay, but I suppose if enough junior doctors say,
:07:50. > :07:52.I am not going to work on this pay, then the Government may find itself
:07:53. > :07:55.having to increase pay rates And doctors will know there is an
:07:56. > :08:05.the doctors, don't they. And doctors will know there is an
:08:06. > :08:09.alternative. Health is an issue devolved to the nations.
:08:10. > :08:12.alternative. Health is an issue have no plans to adopt the
:08:13. > :08:16.Government's contract. What's more, they spy an opportunity.
:08:17. > :08:23.In terms of training is running at the moment
:08:24. > :08:28.In terms of training you diversity of training.
:08:29. > :08:30.It is a possibility that without the right deal,
:08:31. > :08:33.England could see a brain drain - with some of their brightest
:08:34. > :08:45.doctors, heading across the borders - for more lucrative contracts.
:08:46. > :08:49.The final decision hasn't been rubber starched but it
:08:50. > :08:52.The final decision hasn't been likely it will happen in the next
:08:53. > :08:54.couple of days, perhaps as early as tomorrow. The Government's chief
:08:55. > :08:56.negotiator was clear tomorrow. The Government's chief
:08:57. > :09:00.that went in last night was tomorrow. The Government's chief
:09:01. > :09:04.final and best offer. He put that in black and white. The BMA have
:09:05. > :09:06.rejected that. One of the things that has so riled doctors throughout
:09:07. > :09:10.this, that they that has so riled doctors throughout
:09:11. > :09:14.the Government has always said, if you don't like it, in the end we
:09:15. > :09:18.might force you to take it. It looks as if that is going to happen. If
:09:19. > :09:21.that happens, not withstanding the emotion and anger we've seen over
:09:22. > :09:25.the last few months, would that be the end of the matter? I think even
:09:26. > :09:30.after four years it wouldn't be the end of the matter. This has got very
:09:31. > :09:34.bitter on both sides. Both sides frankly have got very dug in. One of
:09:35. > :09:38.the interesting things about it is there are good political reasons why
:09:39. > :09:41.in the end Governments have tended not necessarily to back down to the
:09:42. > :09:45.BMA but certainly to give more ground to them. This time on this
:09:46. > :09:49.particular issue, with the feeling that it was in the Government's
:09:50. > :09:53.manifesto that they won on, and in the general election, they believe
:09:54. > :09:59.that it is probably this time worth toughing it out. But that strategy
:10:00. > :10:03.carries a very high risk. The relationship between the medical
:10:04. > :10:07.profession, important, well respected, popular with many members
:10:08. > :10:12.of the public, and did Government if it hasn't already happened is on the
:10:13. > :10:15.verge of breaking down. An imposition of the contracts, which
:10:16. > :10:19.the Government can do, they can rewrite them if they want but it
:10:20. > :10:23.wouldn't necessarily spell the end of industrial action. I think the
:10:24. > :10:25.Government is on the verge of taking this credential mover. Laura, thank
:10:26. > :10:29.you. The Commissioner of
:10:30. > :10:31.the Metropolitan Police, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe,
:10:32. > :10:33.has asked a former High Court judge to review its procedures

:10:39. > :10:42.the former Home Secretary, Lord Brittan, and the former Chief
:10:43. > :10:45.of the Defence Staff, Lord Bramall. Our home affairs correspondent

:11:08. > :11:09.of case is handled. Surely it's right that someone
:11:10. > :11:12.should look at that and try and produce some balance and perhaps
:11:13. > :11:15.give some guidance about how police officers and others approach these
:11:16. > :11:18.difficult and historic allegations where the evidence sometimes
:11:19. > :11:19.is lost, where people's It's so easy to make allegations,
:11:20. > :11:25.but then how do we prove them? I think we all need
:11:26. > :11:27.to look at that seriously. The Henriques Review will examine
:11:28. > :11:31.past sexual allegations involving public figures, examining police
:11:32. > :11:37.procedures rather than evidence. Findings and recommendations will be
:11:38. > :11:39.published, but not sensitive A key question is whether the Met
:11:40. > :11:47.went too far when one alleged victim, known by the pseudonym
:11:48. > :11:49."Nick" came forward describing abuse by powerful people,
:11:50. > :11:52.including Lord Bramall, one of Britain's most
:11:53. > :11:58.senior soldiers. If it hadn't been so serious I felt
:11:59. > :12:00.like roaring with laughter. I don't see how a level-headed

:12:24. > :12:26.willing to believe Nick's allegations and too heavy-handed
:12:27. > :12:33.in investigating them. When those allegations come forward
:12:34. > :12:37.it needs to be assessed if they have any basis to them at all, and,
:12:38. > :12:40.if they have, investigated quickly and a decision made quickly

:21:01. > :21:03.the financial impact All I've read is it costs something
:21:04. > :21:11.like ?39 million per day to be in the EU, but we're not informed
:21:12. > :21:15.of what benefits we're getting I just feel quite ignorant
:21:16. > :21:20.to it all, you know, as to what we're informed
:21:21. > :21:22.and what we're told. Those figures are staggering, aren't
:21:23. > :21:36.they? When you think about it,
:21:37. > :21:38.?39 million, where does We are forgetting some of the major
:21:39. > :21:42.issues that are lying It benefits us because, obviously,
:21:43. > :21:48.if we come out of Europe we're going to have to pay
:21:49. > :21:50.more to deal with them. So cost of stuff is
:21:51. > :21:53.going to have to go up. If we do pull out of the EU,
:21:54. > :21:57.there'll be a lot of bad feelings like it would raise
:21:58. > :21:59.the prices for us. Not for us as like the general
:22:00. > :22:03.public, where the businesses are and where the trading's done
:22:04. > :22:06.and the deals that are made. Our final discussion focused
:22:07. > :22:08.on whether the benefits of membership outweighed the loss
:22:09. > :22:11.of control in terms of British law I think it's quite a positive thing
:22:12. > :22:15.that I could work anywhere and a lot of my friends work in other
:22:16. > :22:17.European countries. I think it's really good that we've
:22:18. > :22:20.got that passport to go all around. The problem is that you are you're
:22:21. > :22:25.getting people coming over or Poland or other countries
:22:26. > :22:27.in the EU, very poor countries, they can come straight here,
:22:28. > :22:30.not necessarily having a job and they can get
:22:31. > :22:31.benefits straightaway. They've got free
:22:32. > :22:36.healthcare straightaway. There are people that
:22:37. > :22:38.have come from Poland, who are doing jobs -
:22:39. > :22:42.without being rude to British people - that the younger people
:22:43. > :22:44.in our generation just won't do. We're only small and there's only
:22:45. > :22:48.so many that we can take before it, sort of, drains our resources
:22:49. > :22:51.to the point where we are one of the countries that
:22:52. > :22:53.will be struggling. I'm just wondering whether it is
:22:54. > :22:56.just safe to pull up that drawbridge now, otherwise we will be completely
:22:57. > :22:59.sucked up and dried up and Great Britain
:23:00. > :23:02.won't exist any more. You can't live in splendid
:23:03. > :23:04.isolation, I just don't I know it's been hard,
:23:05. > :23:12.but we are going to make you choose, as you will have to in
:23:13. > :23:15.the referendum when it comes. In our case, we're going to ask
:23:16. > :23:18.you a simple question - A narrow 9/7 victory for staying in,
:23:19. > :23:26.but our divided jury were in total agreement on one thing -
:23:27. > :23:28.they all wanted to learn more and think more before
:23:29. > :23:30.referendum day. Police in Germany, who have been
:23:31. > :23:45.searching the wreckage of two commuter trains which collided
:23:46. > :23:47.head-on in Bavaria yesterday, say all the passengers
:23:48. > :23:50.are now accounted for. 10 people were killed in the crash
:23:51. > :23:52.and many others injured. Reports in the German media tonight
:23:53. > :23:57.suggest the investigation is focusing on human error
:23:58. > :24:03.in relation to signalling. Nestle has ended its partnership
:24:04. > :24:06.with the world governing body of athletics, the Iaaf,
:24:07. > :24:12.with immediate effect. The company said it feared
:24:13. > :24:17.that the doping and corruption surrounding the sport
:24:18. > :24:21.would affect its own reputation. Last month, Adidas ended
:24:22. > :24:23.its sponsorship deal with the Iaaf. The world's financial markets
:24:24. > :24:25.are still gripped by uncertainty, especially about the state
:24:26. > :24:28.of the banking sector. The Chief Executive of Credit Suisse
:24:29. > :24:31.has insisted his bank is "stronger than ever" amid fears that Europe's
:24:32. > :24:32.biggest lenders are vulnerable. The Head of the US Central Bank
:24:33. > :24:35.has acknowledged fears Let's join our correspondent,
:24:36. > :24:49.Michelle Fleury, in New York. Michelle. Huw, her testimony comes
:24:50. > :24:54.at an important time, not since the 2008 financial crisis have people
:24:55. > :24:58.been so worried about the health of the big banks, as you mentioned, in
:24:59. > :25:02.particular the European ones. Now, not only did we see a selloff of
:25:03. > :25:06.banking stocks in the last week, investors have raised their bets
:25:07. > :25:10.that some won't be able to repay some of their riskier debts in the
:25:11. > :25:15.event of a global economic recession. Also, if we continue to
:25:16. > :25:20.see oil prices fall. Then, the question remains - what does all of
:25:21. > :25:23.this mean for America's central bank whose job in essence is to
:25:24. > :25:29.anticipate what the US economy is going to look like? Well, she was
:25:30. > :25:32.sounding more cautious compared to her last appearance in December.
:25:33. > :25:35.That was when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates from record
:25:36. > :25:44.low levels. Since then the picture in the US economy has changed a lot.
:25:45. > :25:46.Indeed, around the world. She said that financial turmoil would
:25:47. > :25:50.potentially hurt growth in the world's largest economy, but, at the
:25:51. > :25:55.same time, there was a glimmer of optimism shechl said it was too soon
:25:56. > :25:59.to assess the damage. America continued to add jobs and for now
:26:00. > :26:02.the Fed would stay the course and consider its options for raising
:26:03. > :26:07.rates later this year. Michelle thank you very much for the latest
:26:08. > :26:22.there in New York. Michelle Fleury, our correspondent.
:26:23. > :26:26.the victims' families say there is a "compelling" reason
:26:27. > :26:29.The original inquest was adjourned when six men were jailed
:26:30. > :26:31.Their convictions were quashed in 1991.
:26:32. > :26:34.A lawyer for the families said today that there were suspicions police
:26:35. > :27:00.officers had lied during the original investigation,
:27:01. > :27:03.They are the families who've campaigned for 41 years for answers,
:27:04. > :27:06.sisters and brothers of some of the 21 who were killed,
:27:07. > :27:09.making the case now for the inquests into their deaths to be resumed.
:27:10. > :27:11.On the 21st November 1974, two bombs exploded in the heart
:27:12. > :27:14.of Birmingham City centre, in two pubs full mostly
:27:15. > :27:19.A terrible atrocity that killed the innocent and injured
:27:20. > :27:20.18-year-old Maxine Hambleton was one of those who died,
:27:21. > :27:25.And I ran upstairs and I jumped on the bed and I gave her a hug
:27:26. > :27:29.I said, "see you Friday, Mackie," and that's the last time
:27:30. > :27:33.Six men were convicted of the murders in 1975 and served 16
:27:34. > :27:35.years in prison before this - the moment they walked
:27:36. > :27:40.Their convictions overturned in what became known
:27:41. > :27:42.as the miscarriage of justice of the Birmingham Six.
:27:43. > :27:44.Paddy Hill was one of those wrongly convicted.
:27:45. > :27:47.Today, he too is still looking for answers.
:27:48. > :27:52.We never get justice, but the one thing we can get
:27:53. > :27:56.is the thing we deserve the most, and this's the truth.
:27:57. > :27:59.After hearing legal argument, the coroner will now consider
:28:00. > :28:01.whether the inquests can be held, four decades on.
:28:02. > :28:06.Representing the victims' families, Ashley Underwood QC told her many
:28:07. > :28:14.questions remain, including what West Midlands Police knew
:28:15. > :28:17.He said they may have been tipped off by an IRA informant.
:28:18. > :28:22.Who carried out the Birmingham pub bombings remains unanswered
:28:23. > :28:35.West Midlands Police told the court their investigation

:29:00. > :29:02.Thousands of fans walked out of Anfield before the end

:29:04. > :29:06.Liverpool's American owners say they'll now freeze the highest price
:29:07. > :29:08.for general admission tickets at ?59 and have apologised,
:29:09. > :29:12.For 1,000 years the most significant documents of state,
:29:13. > :29:15.including the Domesday Book and Magna Carta and thousands
:29:16. > :29:16.of Acts of Parliament have been recorded on vellum, or calf-skin.
:29:17. > :29:19.But the ancient tradition is coming to an end,
:29:20. > :29:29.partly to save money, a decision which some members
:29:30. > :29:33.For more than 500 years every law in the land has been stored here,
:29:34. > :29:35.in the Parliamentary Archives, statutes recorded for prosperity,
:29:36. > :29:37.not on paper, but on vellum, a long lasting parchment made out
:29:38. > :29:43.of animal skin, but that tradition will come to an end in April.
:29:44. > :29:47.For the House of Lords has decided that every new Act of Parliament
:29:48. > :29:48.that's going to be kept here should be printed not on vellum,
:29:49. > :29:53.which is expensive, but on special archival paper which is cheaper,
:29:54. > :29:54.and not everybody's happy about that.
:29:55. > :29:57.It's always a pity to give up things that you've done forever
:29:58. > :30:00.unless there's a really good reason to do it and I'm not sure the cost
:30:01. > :30:06.argument against the other costs in this place really stack up.
:30:07. > :30:08.Making vellum takes time, money and years of training,
:30:09. > :30:11.expertise some fear will be lost if this, the last firm that makes
:30:12. > :30:15.the stuff, suffers by losing so much of its business.
:30:16. > :30:23.We have these weird things that happen because they've been passed
:30:24. > :30:25.down through the generations and it seems very strange to me that we're
:30:26. > :30:31.breaking that link with our heritage.
:30:32. > :30:35.But the House of Lords says that paper, like this,
:30:36. > :30:36.has been used for some of its records for hundreds of years
:30:37. > :30:39.already and of course everything these days
:30:40. > :30:45.This is the House of Lords being responsible with taxpayers' money.
:30:46. > :30:48.There is a saving of ?80,000 and the materials that are used
:30:49. > :30:51.for modern-day printing are so much better.
:30:52. > :30:54.So parchment that has kept the Domesday Book and Magna Carta
:30:55. > :30:57.safe for centuries will no longer do for Acts of Parliament.
