:02:38. > :02:38.Our Deputy Political Editor, James Landale reports.
:02:39. > :02:44.This is a steel plant living on borrowed time. With thousands of
:02:45. > :02:48.jobs and pensions at risk, if one day soon the furnaces stop burning
:02:49. > :02:52.and these gates are locked for good. We make a top-quality product. We
:02:53. > :02:56.have a highly-skilled workforce who are second to none. They need to
:02:57. > :03:01.here that we have a future for this plant. Somebody needs to come down
:03:02. > :03:03.here. I would like to see Mr Cameron himself but you can't see that
:03:04. > :03:08.happening. But somebody needs to come here. The steel industry is
:03:09. > :03:11.going to go. Back in Downing Street after his holiday, the Prime
:03:12. > :03:15.Minister said the Government would do whatever it could. We are not
:03:16. > :03:19.ruling anything out. I don't believe nationalisation is the right answer.
:03:20. > :03:22.What we want to do is secure a long-term future for Port Talbot and
:03:23. > :03:26.other steel-making plants in the United Kingdom. The Government's
:03:27. > :03:30.fear is that the plant's owners, Tata, might not give them enough
:03:31. > :03:34.time to find a buyer and just close it down. Just listen to the caution
:03:35. > :03:38.in Mr Cameron's voice. We were concerned that there was the chance
:03:39. > :03:41.that there could have been an outright closure of Port Talbot and
:03:42. > :03:46.that is why we work very hard with the company to make sure there is a
:03:47. > :03:49.proper sales process and we will be doing everything we can to encourage
:03:50. > :03:53.people to come forward but this is a difficult situation. There is no
:03:54. > :03:56.guarantees of success. Today Mr Cameron summoned ministers to
:03:57. > :04:00.Downing Street to discuss the crisis, amid growing criticism of
:04:01. > :04:03.the Government's response. If you don't recognise all the faces, don't
:04:04. > :04:07.worry. Most of the Cabinet wasn't there. Minister, is this the end of
:04:08. > :04:13.the Welsh steel industry? I hope not. And her boss, the business
:04:14. > :04:17.second, who is supposedly in charge of all this, was still on a trade
:04:18. > :04:21.trip in Australia. And today faced calls for his resignation after it
:04:22. > :04:25.emerged he had taken his daughter with him. And that wasn't all. The
:04:26. > :04:30.Government was also accused of failing to protect the steel
:04:31. > :04:34.industry by opposing EU plans for higher tariffs on cheap Chinese
:04:35. > :04:38.imports. An accusation pressed home by the MP who represents Port Talbot
:04:39. > :04:41.and who was in India this week, negotiating with Tata. I think it
:04:42. > :04:53.has been a total shambles. It seems to be a blend of incompetence, and
:04:54. > :04:58.indifference. Why wasn't Sajid Javig or Anna Soubry with me in Mumbai. To
:04:59. > :05:04.keep the gates open and these workers in their job Labour want the
:05:05. > :05:11.Government to give financial support to Tata while a buyer is found and.
:05:12. > :05:14.If there isn't a buyer coming forward quickly, it'll have to be
:05:15. > :05:18.nationalised to stabilise and then we look at the investment strategy
:05:19. > :05:22.for the long of-term future. The Government is in a tight spot. It is
:05:23. > :05:26.under substantial political pressure but doesn't hold all the cards. Tata
:05:27. > :05:30.will decide how long it wants to keep this plant open. A potential
:05:31. > :05:34.buyer will decide if it is worth buying and the glut of global steel
:05:35. > :05:41.is not going away and ministers now admit there is only so much they can
:05:42. > :05:44.do. To be sustainable it has to be a solution that recognises the context
:05:45. > :05:49.and the reality of a world which is drowning in an oversupply of steel.
:05:50. > :05:54.And we can't simply ignore that. So it has to be a more nuanced solution
:05:55. > :05:59.that focuses on supporting the communities. For that is what this
:06:00. > :06:02.comes down to. The impact on communities whose lives resolve
:06:03. > :06:04.around this steel plant and whose future is dependent on choices made
:06:05. > :06:09.in coming days. Well, Tata's board decided to pull
:06:10. > :06:12.out of steel production in the UK because the firm wasn't
:06:13. > :06:17.making enough money here. It's believed the Port Talbot plant
:06:18. > :06:22.alone was losing ?1 million a day. So, is this a British problem,
:06:23. > :06:25.or are other European countries struggling with their
:06:26. > :06:26.steel industries too? Here's our Economics
:06:27. > :06:29.Editor Kamal Ahmed. Yes, Clive, so the question is,
:06:30. > :06:32.does Britain get a bad Much of the regulation and support
:06:33. > :06:41.for the industry across Europe is decided by the European Union
:06:42. > :06:43.and the rules are ostensibly the same for the UK
:06:44. > :06:46.and other EU members. Its powers come in two major areas -
:06:47. > :06:53.tariffs against other countries' imports such as China,
:06:54. > :06:55.which are lower than those imposed And direct financial support such
:06:56. > :07:03.as loans and funding for retraining redundant workers which Britain does
:07:04. > :07:06.not use, but other countries do. There are also strict rules on state
:07:07. > :07:10.aid, money used to support loss making companies which critics
:07:11. > :07:17.say get in the way. I would say their hands
:07:18. > :07:20.are pretty totally tied. The rules of the single market don't
:07:21. > :07:23.really permit any discriminatory Some countries do violate the rules
:07:24. > :07:29.and then they get taken Of course, by the time
:07:30. > :07:38.they are taken there, it may be they may just have gone
:07:39. > :07:41.past the problem and simply happily Today the European Union revealed
:07:42. > :07:45.that it was ready to act to support We are in contact with
:07:46. > :07:49.the UK authorities. Obviously the UK is thinking
:07:50. > :07:52.and the plans are still under While that is ongoing,
:07:53. > :08:00.we are not in a situation to be able to provide any further
:08:01. > :08:05.comment on that. We are there basically
:08:06. > :08:07.to provide guidance. Now, more generally,
:08:08. > :08:10.Britain has been criticised for failing to invest
:08:11. > :08:14.in steel-making, unlike Germany, and for applying high business
:08:15. > :08:16.rates, up to ten times higher There are also green taxes
:08:17. > :08:25.which have led at least in part to electricity prices twice as high
:08:26. > :08:29.as Germany and France. The weakness of the euro
:08:30. > :08:33.against sterling has meant steel imports to the UK are cheaper
:08:34. > :08:37.and other major steel producers such as Belgium and Italy have faced
:08:38. > :08:46.allegations of flouting Other countries realise that
:08:47. > :08:49.steel-making is not just another company, it's not like a restaurant
:08:50. > :08:51.in a street, one closes, then you don't worry
:08:52. > :08:53.too much about it. This is about losing capability,
:08:54. > :08:56.that means not being able to make The other European countries realise
:08:57. > :09:01.that. The impact of all these
:09:02. > :09:04.differences is clear. In the last year British steel
:09:05. > :09:09.production has fallen by 10%. In contrast, Germany,
:09:10. > :09:13.Europe's largest producer, has seen production
:09:14. > :09:16.fall by less than 1%. There is something fundamental
:09:17. > :09:20.at the heart of this steel debate - the Conservative government is more
:09:21. > :09:25.sympathetic to market forces, which can mean some sectors failing
:09:26. > :09:28.but also that products are generally Others, including countries
:09:29. > :09:34.like Germany, are more interventionist, protecting jobs,
:09:35. > :09:36.but that can sometimes Let's go back to our
:09:37. > :09:54.Deputy Political Editor James James, the Government seems to be
:09:55. > :09:58.saying we are doing what we can, but there may not be a solution. Is the
:09:59. > :10:02.Government really saying there may not be a future for British Steel?
:10:03. > :10:06.Well, Clive, I think the tone today was a little bit different. The
:10:07. > :10:10.Government had been cheered by the fact that Tata didn't decide to
:10:11. > :10:15.close the plant outright. Ministers feared that was a possibility. But
:10:16. > :10:19.what is worrying them now, is they know how long they are going to get
:10:20. > :10:23.from Tata to find another buyer. Tata are refusing to tell them at
:10:24. > :10:27.the moment. My understanding is that ministers are looking for a minimum
:10:28. > :10:31.of four to six weeks to find that buyer and then the question will be
:10:32. > :10:35.- well, what will Tata ask for in return? Now, Labour say they should
:10:36. > :10:39.be offered a short-term injection of cash to have some working capital to
:10:40. > :10:45.keep the plant afloat. Union sources I have spoken to say - look, what is
:10:46. > :10:50.needed is something in the region of ?100 to ?150 million over the next
:10:51. > :10:54.12 years. The question, though, is that will that be enough? Is it
:10:55. > :10:59.doable? Certainly ministers at the moment tell me that Tata have yet to
:11:00. > :11:02.make any kind of request like that. So while those discussions continue,
:11:03. > :11:05.the political pressure goes on. Certainly the Government is
:11:06. > :11:09.continuing to be criticised for what its opponents say is not doing
:11:10. > :11:14.enough to protect British Steel in the past and particularly not doing
:11:15. > :11:18.enough to tackle cheep Chinese imports coming into the European
:11:19. > :11:21.market. -- cheap. But ministers aren't just accepting.
:11:22. > :11:24.There are limits to what can be done here, particularly in the face of
:11:25. > :11:27.the massive overproduction of steel in the market at the moment. On top
:11:28. > :11:31.of all of that, the Government's handling is continuing to be
:11:32. > :11:35.criticised. All eyes tomorrow will be on the Business Secretary, who is
:11:36. > :11:38.expected to come back from the country from Australia tomorrow. He
:11:39. > :11:42.is expected to be in South Wales. I think there he will come not just
:11:43. > :11:46.face-to-face with the cameras but also some of the workers, too.
:11:47. > :11:48.Thank you James Landale at Westminster.
:11:49. > :11:50.One of Britain's best-loved comedians, Ronnie Corbett,

:12:46. > :12:51.is a fairy. Any questions. His first big break was in cabaret with the
:12:52. > :12:56.drag artist, Danny La Rue. But it was The Two Ronnies that made his
:12:57. > :13:01.name. For 15 years, the pair brought gentle, genial comedy into the
:13:02. > :13:10.nation's living rooms. The topic was answering questions before they were
:13:11. > :13:14.asked. This time you have chosen to answer the before last. Is that

:13:31. > :13:35.timers. To see them together, it was spot on. I have seen some of the
:13:36. > :13:39.stuff today and you realise just how precise the timing was. I think the
:13:40. > :13:42.great thing was, when it got down to t they were both really, really
:13:43. > :13:49.serious about their work, about comedy and making it work. They took
:13:50. > :13:56.great trouble. There you are. Four candles. No, fork handles. There you

:14:08. > :14:12.Ronnie's reaction. He was a great reactor. If ever you watch him in a
:14:13. > :14:15.sketch, it might have been the brilliant Barker talking but you
:14:16. > :14:21.look at Corbett's face, it was reacting all the time. He was
:14:22. > :14:24.brilliant at that. When they reunited for a Royal Variety Show
:14:25. > :14:30.years later, it was clear how much they had been loved.
:14:31. > :14:40.One of the saddest days of my life. Ronnie was a friend. Someone I
:14:41. > :14:47.admired so much. He was - we always say a one-off, but he certainly was
:14:48. > :14:51.a one-off and a half. I was walking along the Champs Elysees The
:14:52. > :14:54.pint-sized Ronnie's particular contribution were the monologues he

:26:19. > :26:22.We'll absolutely give up some of our budget to allow social care

:28:44. > :28:52.Dame Zaha designed buildings that could look as fluid as mercury while

:28:57. > :29:01.of her at tellic leading to her being called the Queen of the curve.
:29:02. > :29:03.Her creations were eye-catch, jaw-dropping and sometimes
:29:04. > :29:10.controversial. People forgot what you can do for
:29:11. > :29:16.modern work. There was an obsession with a very knack lieu lard,
:29:17. > :29:21.mod-modern, so the idea of neo was almost ail general. She was born in
:29:22. > :29:26.Baghdad and studies maths before moving to London in the 70s. She set
:29:27. > :29:32.up her own architect practise and found there were no takers for her
:29:33. > :29:38.avant-garde ideas. I was a woman, I did strange stuff, it all together
:29:39. > :29:43.intertwined but I still remember there being a stigma about the woman
:29:44. > :29:48.thing. It's better now. It was this building in Germany that proved her
:29:49. > :29:51.big breakthrough. Her ability to mix old school buildings with new
:29:52. > :29:57.computer programmes saw her emerge as one of the most innovative
:29:58. > :30:01.architects of her generation. She's added an enormous amount of language
:30:02. > :30:05.to architecture. She's devised shapes that we never thought we
:30:06. > :30:10.could do. We never thought any architect could do. That is
:30:11. > :30:14.something, you know. There's a lot of architecture that's a variant on
:30:15. > :30:19.the architecture that's gone before but she did shapes that gob-smacked
:30:20. > :30:24.you. Her visual flamboyance proved popular abroad but less so in the UK

:30:40. > :30:43.on the margin, you know. Despite all this. I don't mind being on the edge
:30:44. > :30:48.actually. It's a good place to be. She had a reputation for being short
