:00:09. > :00:11.Tonight at Ten: The Chancellor says he's standing firm -

:00:12. > :00:12.despite growing criticism of yesterday's Budget.

:00:13. > :00:14.The figures in the Mr Osborne's red box

:00:15. > :00:16.have 'worrying' implications for the wider economy and the public

:00:17. > :00:21.finances, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

:00:22. > :00:23.The Chancellor is running out of room for manouevre.

:00:24. > :00:25.Any further downgrades to the economic forecast

:00:26. > :00:28.and to meet his own target he's going to have to announce some

:00:29. > :00:36.serious tax rises or additional spending cuts.

:00:37. > :00:38.But the Chancellor insists he's planning for the next generation,

:00:39. > :00:45.and says he will balance the books as promised.

:00:46. > :00:49.What I am saying in this budget is we have got to hold to the course

:00:50. > :00:52.we have set out. We have got to take action on public

:00:53. > :00:55.finances now so that we are stable and secure and we don't pay later.

:00:56. > :00:58.But he's also facing criticism over plans to change benefit payments

:00:59. > :01:04.We'll have more on that and we'll be looking in more detail at the state

:01:05. > :01:08.The plight of thousands of migrants stranded at the border

:01:09. > :01:14.between Greece and Macedonia as EU leaders search for a new agreement.

:01:15. > :01:17.Ministers announce that schools in England will no longer be

:01:18. > :01:24.Tackling the obesity crisis among children and young people -

:01:25. > :01:29.experts say taxing fizzy drinks will not be enough.

:01:30. > :01:34.And Paul Daniels the magician who entertained millions has died

:01:35. > :01:40.A letter I had yesterday from a lady said, "you had a marriage that

:01:41. > :01:58.After months of delay, the Mayor says the Night tube

:01:59. > :02:04.And the dramatic rise in the number of cannabis factories

:02:05. > :02:17.where criminals steal YOUR electricity to grow plants.

:02:18. > :02:22.George Osborne says he will "stand firm" and "hold the course"

:02:23. > :02:25.despite some bleak assessments of the impact of yesterday's Budget.

:02:26. > :02:27.The figures he announced, based on a worsening

:02:28. > :02:28.economic outlook, will result in a period

:02:29. > :02:30.of falling wages and lower living standards,

:02:31. > :02:32.according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies

:02:33. > :02:35.which also warns that austerity will be extended into

:02:36. > :02:40.He's also facing criticism from a growing number

:02:41. > :02:43.of Conservative colleagues over plans to change benefit

:02:44. > :02:54.Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg has more details.

:02:55. > :02:58.The day after the Budget before - and new warnings about who wins,

:02:59. > :03:15.Some claim disingenuous, too optimistic, and real cuts, hardly

:03:16. > :03:20.something to elberate. We make sure in uncertain times we

:03:21. > :03:25.are fit for the future, doing that by taking action on public finances

:03:26. > :03:29.so we don't pay later and back working people by reducing taxes to

:03:30. > :03:35.help us grow the economy. But reality arrived along with the

:03:36. > :03:42.budgets on MPs' desk. Doubts on the numbers, warning on lower wages and

:03:43. > :03:48.living standards, the Chancellor is said to have a 50/50 chance of

:03:49. > :03:52.hitting the red book targets. I admire the five year plan, it is

:03:53. > :03:59.always five years away. Every year, another five years on. Missing every

:04:00. > :04:04.single target from 2010 and Fife years later in 2015.

:04:05. > :04:13.In the Tory ranks, unhappiness with a rebellion brewing.

:04:14. > :04:19.More than 600,000 people who may be affected by the PIPS, when the cases

:04:20. > :04:23.are reviewed in future, the benefits calculated differently for some. She

:04:24. > :04:28.is worried she may be losing out. People like me who used to work all

:04:29. > :04:33.the time are now needing help from the system that they have paid it

:04:34. > :04:37.into. An awful time. Some are ready to fight the change.

:04:38. > :04:43.This change is wrong headed. It hits the wrong people. They are tinkering

:04:44. > :04:48.around the edges that need to happen so you have a slightly fairer system

:04:49. > :04:51.but the package offered up until now, still a consultation, goes too

:04:52. > :04:55.far. The minister in charge admits many

:04:56. > :04:59.thousands may lose out. More than half a million people may be

:05:00. > :05:04.affected. Clearly is significant number of people could see a loss in

:05:05. > :05:08.income? Some will but a lot will not see a change of significant number

:05:09. > :05:14.in that sense. But the overall numbers going on to the PIP system

:05:15. > :05:20.will increase, the amount of money going out to disability benefit will

:05:21. > :05:24.increase. What do you say to this Parliament, who lose a right of

:05:25. > :05:30.share of their income? The two things are not linked. This is not a

:05:31. > :05:34.financial measure. It is providing a fair, sustainable benefit that

:05:35. > :05:39.directs the support to those that have genuine ongoing extra costs.

:05:40. > :05:43.Like any budget it is a test of the Chancellor's reputation. George

:05:44. > :05:47.Osborne has bigger ambitions than being in charge of the Treasury

:05:48. > :05:52.forever. Trying to impress his own MPs as well as the public. His team

:05:53. > :05:57.insist he made the right big and bold decisions but the Budget has

:05:58. > :06:02.not gone entirely to plan. Such a big occasion... Indeed,

:06:03. > :06:03.Budgets always are. The events that change his, theirs and all of our

:06:04. > :06:09.lives. As we mentioned, the Institute

:06:10. > :06:12.for Fiscal Studies has produced a rather bleak assessment

:06:13. > :06:14.of the Budget figures. It says there are 'worrying'

:06:15. > :06:16.implications for the wider economy It also questioned whether Mr

:06:17. > :06:19.Osborne will be able to meet his target of a ?10

:06:20. > :06:22.billion budget surplus Our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed

:06:23. > :06:32.is here with his analysis. Day two, and a day of indepth

:06:33. > :06:35.analysis of the Budget. That after those gloomy economic

:06:36. > :06:39.forecasts we could be facing, according to the IFS,

:06:40. > :06:41.lower wages and living standards. And hitting that politically

:06:42. > :06:45.important budget surplus target is going to be very tricky

:06:46. > :06:47.for the Chancellor. There are also likely to be more

:06:48. > :06:56.public sector cuts ahead. I think that the most important

:06:57. > :06:59.piece of news we got yesterday was that we are all going to be

:07:00. > :07:02.worse off than we thought we were going to be over

:07:03. > :07:04.the next few years. The OBR has downgraded its views

:07:05. > :07:07.about productivity and wages That had a knock-on effect

:07:08. > :07:11.for the Chancellor, who is now going to find it much harder

:07:12. > :07:14.to meet his own fiscal targets. The IFS says if the Chancellor

:07:15. > :07:17.is to achieve his fabled Budget surplus, he will need to find

:07:18. > :07:20.a further ?10 billion of cuts to plan spending on public

:07:21. > :07:28.services by 2021. Those cuts could fall most heavily

:07:29. > :07:30.on non-protected departments, They may have to find a further 13%

:07:31. > :07:41.in efficiency savings. The Chancellor did announce income

:07:42. > :07:44.tax cuts, welcomed by many. He increased the personal allowance

:07:45. > :07:46.and took 585,000 people out But according to one analysis,

:07:47. > :07:57.the changes tend to be more helpful to the better off -

:07:58. > :08:00.it will boost the incomes That figure for the poorest

:08:01. > :08:09.20% of households? There was better news

:08:10. > :08:14.for the Chancellor today, the Bank of England said current

:08:15. > :08:17.wage increases are stronger, and that productivity

:08:18. > :08:20.is actually rising that will come as welcome relief

:08:21. > :08:23.for the Treasury after the bad news For this manufacturing firm,

:08:24. > :08:30.Mr Osborne's pledge to support smaller businesses working better,

:08:31. > :08:32.may have been good news. The Treasury made productivity

:08:33. > :08:35.improvements, of course crucial for maintaining growth,

:08:36. > :08:42.a central part of the Budget. When you put your efforts

:08:43. > :08:44.into your staff, into the machinery, invested back into the company,

:08:45. > :08:48.you are getting more work out there, widening the capabilities

:08:49. > :08:53.and strengthening your capabilities and strengthening the reputation

:08:54. > :08:57.of the company to go to. One final thought -

:08:58. > :08:59.never underestimate Mr Osborne's ability to find a little extra

:09:00. > :09:01.something behind the often As one government source pointed out

:09:02. > :09:10.to me, yesterday's figures were so poor, things

:09:11. > :09:31.before the next election Now live to Westminster to talk with

:09:32. > :09:36.Laura. What do you make of the most controversial aspects of the Budget?

:09:37. > :09:42.Well, Budgets sometimes turn into horror films, this is like an action

:09:43. > :09:45.movie. But tonight the plot is thickening on several fronts. The

:09:46. > :09:54.Government's been pleased to be able to say that EU leaders agreed to get

:09:55. > :09:59.rid of what is known as the Tampon tax, a 5 Pennsylvania VAT on

:10:00. > :10:03.sanitary products, looking at a heavy rebellion, probably a defeat

:10:04. > :10:07.on that in Westminster next week but the EU leaders said that they can

:10:08. > :10:12.get rid of it. Claiming that as a win over the rest of the EU. In

:10:13. > :10:17.terms of things more trouble some, I think there is trouble brewing over

:10:18. > :10:20.the changes to disability payments. Many Conservative MPs, including

:10:21. > :10:24.those who organised the rebellion and defeat over the tax credits, are

:10:25. > :10:29.very unhappy about the changes, worried about the impact on

:10:30. > :10:32.thousands of people, potentially around the country, and worried too

:10:33. > :10:37.about the political message it sends. The leadership is under

:10:38. > :10:40.pressure to relent, there is certainly at minimum going to have

:10:41. > :10:44.to be more explaining of that policy. But a new question on

:10:45. > :10:49.defence spending: The small print of the Budget reveals that the Ministry

:10:50. > :10:54.of Defence is spending ?800 million less than they had been forecast to

:10:55. > :10:59.do in this financial year, that is a lot of cash in a department that is

:11:00. > :11:03.pretty stretched. Labour tonight is demanding answers over that, writing

:11:04. > :11:09.to the Secretary of State for Defence, Michael Fallon. Treasury

:11:10. > :11:13.sources suggest it could be simple as an underspend but there is no

:11:14. > :11:17.clarity on what has happened to the defence spending. Despite the

:11:18. > :11:22.bleaker economic picture, the Budget all in all is far from a disaster

:11:23. > :11:25.but, there is lots of unfinished business that could catch George

:11:26. > :11:29.Osborne out in the weeks and the months to come.

:11:30. > :11:32.Laura coonsberg, thank you very much.

:11:33. > :11:34.In Brussels tonight, European Union leaders are meeting

:11:35. > :11:38.on stopping the flow of migrants into Europe.

:11:39. > :11:42.Since January last year, more than one million migrants

:11:43. > :11:43.and refugees arrived in Greece by boat

:11:44. > :11:47.Chancellor Merkel of Germany says she's 'cautiously optimistic' that

:11:48. > :11:52.Thousands of people are currently stranded at the border

:11:53. > :11:59.between Greece and Macedonia at Idomeni, where the crossing

:12:00. > :12:00.point is closed and many have been trying

:12:01. > :12:06.The resilience of youth, still able to laugh and smile

:12:07. > :12:08.when this is where you live and play.

:12:09. > :12:10.Imagine the irony of being trapped at a railway station

:12:11. > :12:17.Where mothers cling to their children to stop them

:12:18. > :12:32.Where thousands not so much live as barely exist.

:12:33. > :12:37.Remember the name Idomeni, a border town that has become

:12:38. > :12:41.a byword for the inaction of Europe and the shame of those huddled

:12:42. > :12:59.too as they stand for hours every day begging for hand-outs.

:13:00. > :13:01.Among them, this man, a Syrian refugee week thought had

:13:02. > :13:03.crossed into Macedonia earlier this week.

:13:04. > :13:07.He was one of 1500 who made a break for the border on Monday,

:13:08. > :13:09.slogging through the mud and the rain,

:13:10. > :13:12.carried aloft like some biblical figure.

:13:13. > :13:17.This is how much they want to get further into Europe.

:13:18. > :13:20.He was wheeled across a field and on into Macedonia.

:13:21. > :13:26.But like all the others, he was rounded up and eventually

:13:27. > :13:39.What is your message to Europe's leaders meeting now?

:13:40. > :13:42.TRANSLATION: We want just a bit of humanity.

:13:43. > :13:46.Look at how they are treating us here, there is no humanity left,

:13:47. > :13:49.not in the Arab countries and not in the West.

:13:50. > :13:52.We are being used as bargaining chips.

:13:53. > :13:56.They are accepting us so they can make money off our backs.

:13:57. > :14:01.If a deal is reached in Brussels, then everybody here could be

:14:02. > :14:03.deported to Turkey, which wouldn't be just difficult

:14:04. > :14:08.We met three families from Falluja, Ramadi and Aleppo, three cities

:14:09. > :14:14.whose people know all about war and persecution.

:14:15. > :14:17.One says he left home after the thugs of the Islamic State

:14:18. > :14:23.Another says he was beaten just this week, but by the Macedonian police.

:14:24. > :14:26.It's not the welcome they expected nor the protection they

:14:27. > :14:32.What will you do if these borders stay closed and you are told

:14:33. > :14:37.TRANSLATION: Well, I can't go back home, I don't have one.

:14:38. > :14:41.We came here asking for European protection because they said

:14:42. > :14:43.they will open the borders for Iraqis and Syrians.

:14:44. > :14:48.Everyone here knows about the meeting in Brussels

:14:49. > :14:51.and everyone is waiting for the outcome.

:14:52. > :14:54.If they are not allowed through, some will go back,

:14:55. > :14:59.But don't expect all of them to just disappear.

:15:00. > :15:03.It's incredible to think that more than a million people have come this

:15:04. > :15:08.European leaders have repeatedly met, debated the discussed

:15:09. > :15:12.and argued about how to deal with this crisis.

:15:13. > :15:16.Routes may well be closing down but what we should not forget

:15:17. > :15:19.is that many of these people have run away from the prospect of death,

:15:20. > :15:22.and they will do whatever it takes to get across that border.

:15:23. > :15:29.This week's breakthrough failed but it won't be the last.

:15:30. > :15:32.Thousands more landed on Greek shores this week and they will head

:15:33. > :15:34.here, to this strange limbo land, putting even more pressure

:15:35. > :15:41.Their dream of a new life may well have stalled,

:15:42. > :16:06.Ian Pannell, BBC News, on the Greek Macedonian border.

:16:07. > :16:09.Schools would no longer be legally required to have parents

:16:10. > :16:11.as governors but there would be a greater obligation

:16:12. > :16:15.Failing schools would also be given a longer period without official

:16:16. > :16:16.inspections to encourage successful head teachers

:16:17. > :16:26.Our education editor Branwen Jeffreys has the details.

:16:27. > :16:30.Schools across England are facing a massive shake-up.

:16:31. > :16:33.Teachers will have to prove their classroom skills to qualify.

:16:34. > :16:35.And all schools will become academies within years.

:16:36. > :16:39.Rebecca Jones is a parent governor at this primary

:16:40. > :16:46.Under these plans, elected parent governors will go when it

:16:47. > :16:53.Parents give immediate feedback if there is an issue.

:16:54. > :16:56.And if you don't have the parent governors there, I don't think

:16:57. > :17:00.the parents would feel able to approach the school about issues.

:17:01. > :17:03.Which one of these pictures to you think is going back

:17:04. > :17:08.Like most primary schools, it is still run by the council.

:17:09. > :17:11.But that will have to change within the next six years.

:17:12. > :17:16.Samantha Offord is the headteacher here.

:17:17. > :17:19.She resisted pressure to become an academy before.

:17:20. > :17:23.But what about other government plans?

:17:24. > :17:26.Headteachers who move to a struggling school will get more

:17:27. > :17:29.time - at least two years, to turn things around before

:17:30. > :17:35.At the moment I feel sometimes that headteachers are a bit

:17:36. > :17:40.You make one mistake or you have only been in a school for one year,

:17:41. > :17:47.So what difference will it make to their education?

:17:48. > :17:49.These changes, taken together, are meant to give headteachers

:17:50. > :17:52.and schools much more freedom to shape what they teach.

:17:53. > :17:55.It will also create huge chains of schools competing with each

:17:56. > :18:04.The question is, who holds them to account?

:18:05. > :18:08.Steve Lancashire is the chief executive two primary school chains.

:18:09. > :18:10.He says they use the freedom of being an academy

:18:11. > :18:19.They are held to account, he says, through their results.

:18:20. > :18:22.All of our schoolchildren will go to a capital city in a foreign

:18:23. > :18:24.country to make sure they experience a different culture.

:18:25. > :18:26.For us it is really about what is distinctive

:18:27. > :18:29.about what we can provide as a group of schools,

:18:30. > :18:31.rather than individual schools, and as an academy rather

:18:32. > :18:37.The Education Secretary told me she wants parents to have a bigger

:18:38. > :18:40.say, so why get rid of elected parent governors?

:18:41. > :18:44.We want governors to be there because of the skills they bring.

:18:45. > :18:47.I think there are much more effective ways for parents to be

:18:48. > :18:49.involved rather than just having a couple of parents

:18:50. > :18:53.We want to set up a parent portal so that parents know

:18:54. > :18:56.what is going on and a better complaints mechanism.

:18:57. > :19:00.Schools will still have to try to impress parents,

:19:01. > :19:02.but there is no guarantee there be a graceful transition

:19:03. > :19:14.The magician Paul Daniels, for many years one of the most

:19:15. > :19:17.popular entertainers on television, has died at the age of 77.

:19:18. > :19:19.He announced last month that he'd been diagnosed

:19:20. > :19:23.His wife, Debbie McGee, told the BBC that they'd lived

:19:24. > :19:25.a "fairytale life" together, as Robert Hall reports.

:19:26. > :19:28.If the ball's in my left hand, it's in my left hand,

:19:29. > :19:30.if it's not in my hand, it's under the cup.

:19:31. > :19:32.He was fast, funny, and very skilful.

:19:33. > :19:34.He took old-fashioned magic and refashioned it

:19:35. > :19:42.That made him a fixture in the Saturday night schedules.

:19:43. > :19:44.Paul Daniels had started in northern clubs...

:19:45. > :19:47.You're not supposed to go one, two...

:19:48. > :19:49.Audiences weren't always appreciative but he devised

:19:50. > :19:51.a catchphrase to deal with his hecklers.

:19:52. > :19:58.Paul Daniels became one of Britain's most popular

:19:59. > :20:05.In the late 1970s he fell in love with his glamorous assistant.

:20:06. > :20:08.Debbie McGee, 20 years his junior, became his wife, which led

:20:09. > :20:13.What first, Debbie, attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?

:20:14. > :20:18.I really got the giggles because when I first worked

:20:19. > :20:25.Our life has been full of laughter and that's what it's

:20:26. > :20:31.I had a letter yesterday from a lady who had met us and she said,

:20:32. > :20:34."The thing is, Debbie, you had a marriage that

:20:35. > :20:47.Paul Daniels was not to everyone's taste but his versatility helped

:20:48. > :20:53.Everyone I know had a Paul Daniels magic kit.

:20:54. > :20:57.Having looked back on all the magic he did on YouTube, he will always be

:20:58. > :20:59.one of the greatest magicians of our time.

:21:00. > :21:02.In his autobiography, the magician claimed he had slept

:21:03. > :21:04.with hundreds of women, admitting he could not be sure

:21:05. > :21:12.Paul Daniels was busy long after his peak-time shows ended.

:21:13. > :21:15.He could be chippy and sometimes outspoken but there was no

:21:16. > :21:17.doubting his popularity or his talent.

:21:18. > :21:26.The magician and television personality Paul Daniels,

:21:27. > :21:36.In South Africa, President Zuma is facing calls to resign

:21:37. > :21:39.over his links with a wealthy family and claims that he's allowed

:26:41. > :26:43.And then your mum would give you your supper?
