:05:59. > :06:02.has been made in this investigation? As you said, nothing confirmed from
:06:03. > :06:05.the police yet about that second attacker but there are unconfirmed
:06:06. > :06:10.reports here tonight that he might also have been flagged up to the
:06:11. > :06:14.police. It is not known how he might have been radicalised but when it
:06:15. > :06:18.comes to the first attacker, his former friends said he had fallen in
:06:19. > :06:23.with the wrong company and that was also something that was known to the
:06:24. > :06:28.security services. And I think all of this points to a key question
:06:29. > :06:31.here tonight, which is, how do those security services effectively
:06:32. > :06:35.monitor people who have committed no crime as yet, who was simply known
:06:36. > :06:39.to be jihadi sympathisers, when there are already more than 10,000

:07:17. > :07:18.For the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, not exactly blue skies ahead
:07:19. > :07:25.The UK economy is fundamentally strong as we go into the challenge
:07:26. > :07:32.And that gives us the tools and the scope to respond
:07:33. > :07:38.And do you really think, as some suggested, that we could be
:07:39. > :07:41.Well, I think it's far too early to say how
:07:42. > :07:48.Inevitably, people's reaction to a surprise is caution.
:07:49. > :07:51.No such caution today from pharmaceutical giant
:07:52. > :07:54.GlaxoSmithKline, which announced a ?275 million investment
:07:55. > :08:01.But the maker of Night Nurse and Panadol did lace its good

:08:06. > :08:13.My guess is that we will probably see some choppy signals
:08:14. > :08:18.I don't think we'll see a dramatic shift to the left or the right
:08:19. > :08:21.but we will see some choppiness and some things which are indicative
:08:22. > :08:24.of a bit of a slowdown, and it's likely we will see some
:08:25. > :08:28.With business investment still continuing, like here
:08:29. > :08:32.at London City Airport, some people might wonder,
:08:33. > :08:34.what was all the fuss about with the economy
:08:35. > :08:39.I think there are two big things worth considering.
:08:40. > :08:42.Firstly, we are still largely looking in the rear-view mirror.
:08:43. > :08:44.Most of the economic information published today
:08:45. > :08:47.is actually from April, when business confidence
:08:48. > :08:53.And many senior economists I've spoken to who are very close
:08:54. > :08:57.to the Government warn against a false sense of security.
:08:58. > :09:01.Britain is still facing uncertain times.
:09:02. > :09:04.Uncertainty has been an issue for this leather company in Oxford,
:09:05. > :09:08.which has found the post-Brexit world a more difficult proposition.
:09:09. > :09:11.The weaker pound helps exporters like GSK.
:09:12. > :09:17.Everything we buy is in dollars from South America.
:09:18. > :09:22.This means there's an immediate effect of the pound is very weak,
:09:23. > :09:25.so everything since the night of Brexit is costing us 14% more,
:09:26. > :09:29.so this has an immediate effect on our costs.
:09:30. > :09:32.Put simply, selling purses becomes more difficult,
:09:33. > :09:34.and the figures post the referendum do suggest business
:09:35. > :09:40.Well, the data suggests that the economy was performing well
:09:41. > :09:45.What we've seen since the Brexit vote is quite a significant slowdown
:09:46. > :09:49.in business sentiment, in consumer sentiment,
:09:50. > :09:51.and this will have an impact on the economy over
:09:52. > :10:00.Next week, the Governor of the Bank of England will announce his latest

:10:10. > :10:29.The labour leadership candidate Owen Smith has apologised for saying he
:10:30. > :10:38.thinks Theresa May should smash back on her heels. He said the remarks or
:10:39. > :10:43.inappropriate. He has been outlining his campaign, which includes looking

:10:49. > :10:52.Ladies and gentlemen, Owen Smith.
:10:53. > :10:57.So today he made a direct pitch to those who last year propelled
:10:58. > :10:58.Jeremy Corbyn to the party leadership.
:10:59. > :11:02.We need a revolution, but not some misty eyed romantic
:11:03. > :11:04.notion of a revolution, where we're going to overthrow
:11:05. > :11:07.capitalism and return to a socialist nirvana.
:11:08. > :11:19.But a cold-eyed, practical socialist revolution.
:11:20. > :11:23.And Mr Smith showered his audience with new policy ideas.
:11:24. > :11:26.The public sector pay freeze would end.
:11:27. > :11:30.We would be spending an extra 4% per annum on the NHS, an equality
:11:31. > :11:40.A ?200 billion promise to borrow funds at historic low rates in order
:11:41. > :11:45.Mr Smith chose his words less carefully when he launched this
:11:46. > :11:52.It pained me that we didn't have the strength and the power
:11:53. > :11:55.and the vitality to smash her back on her heels and argue that these

:11:59. > :12:06.The task for Labour is daunting, they've lost dozens of seats
:12:07. > :12:09.in Scotland and elsewhere Ukip are breathing down their neck.
:12:10. > :12:13.What would you do about Ukip voters, those who've left Labour,
:12:14. > :12:15.in the north particularly of England?
:12:16. > :12:17.Well, I'd give them hope that there's a Labour government that
:12:18. > :12:21.That understands that they feel Britain's very unfair.
:12:22. > :12:24.That understand that they feel that some people get a fairer crack
:12:25. > :12:29.That's what Labour's about, bread-and-butter issues.
:12:30. > :12:36.Simple things, but things that Labour needs to hang on to.
:12:37. > :12:38.They're our ideas, we should be delivering them.
:12:39. > :12:40.So what do voters make of Labour's problems?
:12:41. > :12:49.I mean, I don't know this new one who has come up.
:12:50. > :12:52.I've heard a couple of speeches, but I don't know him yet.
:12:53. > :12:56.Yeah, I don't know him yet because they put their nice
:12:57. > :12:59.suits on and they get there, and it's all spin.
:13:00. > :13:02.I'm a bit disillusioned with them at the moment.
:13:03. > :13:04.They're losing me with the stuff they're coming out with.
:13:05. > :13:06.It's going in here and coming out here.
:13:07. > :13:09.One day, Owen Smith wants to be Prime Minister,
:13:10. > :13:12.but before that he has to convince Labour Party members to back him.
:13:13. > :13:15.He hopes they'll look at his long list of left-wing policies and be
:13:16. > :13:19.persuaded that he would present them far more effectively
:13:20. > :13:26.But his supporters say he's been setting the agenda,
:13:27. > :13:33.Jeremy was the person who stood alone in that at a time when it
:13:34. > :13:35.wasn't fashionable and he started putting forward these policies.
:13:36. > :13:38.It's quite easy for people to jump on the bandwagon now,
:13:39. > :13:43.What people want is a politician who stand up for what they believe.
:13:44. > :13:46.Owen Smith made his speech today on the site of a former coking
:13:47. > :13:54.He believes his vision will regenerate the Labour Party.
:13:55. > :14:10.The higher rate overtime bill for hospitals has risen by a third. A
:14:11. > :14:15.BBC investigation has found one doctor in Lancashire and an extra
:14:16. > :14:18.?375,000 over 12 months. The Department of Health said it is
:14:19. > :14:26.working to reduce overtime costs in England.
:14:27. > :14:34.from patients, but only a limited number of consultant doctors,
:14:35. > :14:37.another sign of the pressures facing the health service across the UK,
:14:38. > :14:39.and it adds up to a rising wage bill for extra overtime
:14:40. > :14:43.The average basic salary for a consultant is ?89,000,
:14:44. > :14:45.but across the UK extra overtime costs ?168 million last year,
:14:46. > :14:50.One doctor made nearly ?375,000 in extra payments on top
:14:51. > :14:58.Most consultants we know work well beyond the standard working week.
:14:59. > :15:00.They work at weekends, they work at nights.
:15:01. > :15:03.This work is even additional work beyond that.
:15:04. > :15:08.Additional work often asked for at short notice.
:15:09. > :15:12.Some Trusts are struggling to attract staff.
:15:13. > :15:15.At Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, where the unnamed highest

:15:18. > :15:23.To cut waiting times for operations, they're left with little choice
:15:24. > :15:31.But just a few miles away, in Wigan, they've changed the way they work
:15:32. > :15:34.and are saving money that was previously paid
:15:35. > :15:41.Specialist nurses, like Euan, now carry out procedures that once
:15:42. > :15:46.That's better for patients because they can get to see Euan
:15:47. > :15:50.a lot more frequently and it saves the hospital an awful lot of money.
:15:51. > :15:54.The main benefit is that we, as an organisation, have less
:15:55. > :15:57.financial pressure because we're not having to pay out
:15:58. > :16:01.By working together, we can solve some pretty tricky problems.
:16:02. > :16:05.You know, the bottom line is, it's the patients who benefit.
:16:06. > :16:09.At present each Hospital Trust can make its own arrangements on how it
:16:10. > :16:13.pays consultants for extra work, reflecting the different pressures
:16:14. > :16:20.So there are two big factors at play.
:16:21. > :16:23.The first is in planned surgical care where often, to keep
:16:24. > :16:26.within waiting times targets, consultants are having to do work
:16:27. > :16:28.at weekend and need to be paid overtime for that.
:16:29. > :16:31.The second, in emergency care, where often we don't
:16:32. > :16:34.have enough consultants, is they have to end up covering
:16:35. > :16:37.for each other within their rota and then have to be
:16:38. > :16:42.In England, a new contract for consultants is being negotiated,

:27:24. > :27:26.hospital after 35 years. At his trial, Hinckley was found not
:27:27. > :27:29.guilty by reason of insanity, but a judge has now ruled he is now
:27:30. > :27:32.ready to live in the community. Hinckley has said he wants to fit
:27:33. > :27:48.in and be a good citizen our correspondent,

:27:59. > :28:00.but others were left The would be assassin had been
:28:01. > :28:04.bundled to the ground. As Ronald Reagan was rushed

:28:20. > :28:22.would impress the actress. He was found not guilty
:28:23. > :28:25.on the grounds of insanity, but was sent to a psychiatric
:28:26. > :28:28.hospital, where he's Over recent years though he's been
:28:29. > :28:35.allowed on short trips home A judge has now ruled he should be

:28:40. > :28:42.John Hinckley has had to agree to to be released, he's not
:28:43. > :28:45.allowed to come here, He can't look himself up
:28:46. > :28:52.on the internet and has to continue to get treatment but,
:28:53. > :28:54.in spite of all of that, there are still those who believe
:28:55. > :28:57.he shouldn't be freed. That includes the Ronald Reagan

:29:09. > :29:13.of his life. I guess you have to
:29:14. > :29:15.let him out because... I mean, he didn't
:29:16. > :29:17.actually murder anyone. He attempted murder,
:29:18. > :29:21.but then he was sick, right? The most seriously injured
:29:22. > :29:25.among those shot in 1981 was the President's Press Secretary,
:29:26. > :29:30.James Brady, who was left paralysed. He fought for legislation on gun
:29:31. > :29:36.control, but the issues surrounding guns and mental health have only
:29:37. > :29:38.intensified over the years. For Ronald Reagan, who was shot
:29:39. > :29:41.just a couple of months into his presidency,
:29:42. > :29:45.it changed the perception Americans had of him,
:29:46. > :29:49.he was now a hero who cheated death. And 35 years after he almost
:29:50. > :29:52.radically changed the course of world history, John Hinckley
:29:53. > :29:55.could be sent home within a week. Aleem Maqbool, BBC
:29:56. > :30:14.News, in Washington. There's just over a week
:30:15. > :30:16.to go to the start of where Team GB are looking
:30:17. > :30:20.to win 48 medals. One of the squad's best hopes
:30:21. > :30:22.is 23-year-old Max Whitlock, the World Champion gymnast
:30:23. > :30:24.who was just a teenager when he unexpectedly won Team
:30:25. > :30:26.and Individual Bronze Since then he's struggled a bit
:30:27. > :30:30.with illness, but he's also won He met Katherine Downes
:30:31. > :30:34.at his training base in Essex. Focus - that's what strikes
:30:35. > :30:37.you when you meet Max Whitlock. Since bronze in London,
:30:38. > :30:39.he spent the last four years working I was an underdog going in there,
:30:40. > :30:45.I was only 19-years-old, I mean, I helped with the team
:30:46. > :30:55.result amd that's the first time And then, for me to get
:30:56. > :30:59.an individual bronze medal, I was so pleased with my achievement
:31:00. > :31:02.and what I produced on that day. While his friend and rival,
:31:03. > :31:05.silver medallist Louis Smith, became a household name
:31:06. > :31:07.after London, for Max The pair will go head-to-head
:31:08. > :31:10.again in Rio. At the end of the day,
:31:11. > :31:13.that's pushing both of us even more, which is the best
:31:14. > :31:15.thing for our team. The higher scores we have on those
:31:16. > :31:17.individual apparatus, the better score that we can,
:31:18. > :31:21.hopefully, come out with as a team. So, you know, it's
:31:22. > :31:22.healthy competition. While the rivalry might be healthy,
:31:23. > :31:25.Max himself has been anything but. Glandular fever laid him low
:31:26. > :31:27.for three months last year, but through sheer grit he fought
:31:28. > :31:30.back to become the first British man So how many times
:31:31. > :31:41.a day are you here? Six days a week, five to seven
:31:42. > :31:44.hours' training a day. We usually do two sessions
:31:45. > :31:48.with a lunch break in between. It's the piece that,
:31:49. > :32:00.you know, a lot of my focus I do double sessions
:32:01. > :32:03.on the pommel horse every day. I, sort of, use that as a lot
:32:04. > :32:07.of my motivation to push me even harder, to get to the highest level
:32:08. > :32:10.that I possibly could. What's it like going
:32:11. > :32:12.into an Olympic Games It calms me, knowing that I've got
:32:13. > :32:15.that title behind me. You know, some people can see it
:32:16. > :32:18.as a lot more pressure, but I see that as a result that
:32:19. > :32:22.I've got in the bag now. I need to go in and produce the best
:32:23. > :32:27.scores that I possibly can and I'm And with that, it's
:32:28. > :32:30.back to training. Newsnight's about to begin over
:32:31. > :32:37.on BBC Two in a few moments. Tonight, the president of the EU
:32:38. > :32:40.isn't hanging around, he's appointed a former
:32:41. > :32:42.French Foreign Minister So just how much hardball
:32:43. > :32:50.is he likely to play? Here on BBC One it's time
:32:51. > :32:54.for the news where you are.
