New research finds mothers can earn up to a third less

:00:00.:00:07.

The wage gap is widening for mothers returning to work.

:00:08.:00:12.

The study says it's partly due to a lack of promotion

:00:13.:00:15.

Women struggle with the issue of having to be perfect mothers

I don't think that is a gender issue, it's my choice.

:00:26.:00:34.

We'll be asking what more employers and the Government could do

:00:35.:00:38.

to narrow the pay gap for working mothers.

:00:39.:00:40.

After Jeremy Corbyn is filmed complaining about overcrowding

:00:41.:00:43.

on trains, CCTV emerges appearing to contradict his story.

Israel. There are calls for more to be done

:01:36.:01:52.

to shrink the pay gap between men and women after new research found

:01:53.:01:57.

that working mothers are continuing to fall further

:01:58.:01:59.

behind their male counterparts. The study from the Institute

of the gender wage gap. It has been reducing overall,

but for mothers and graduates there In this London park,

opinions were clear. Having children presented major

issue, it's my choice. The gender wage gap

:02:48.:02:56.

has been declining. In 1993 there was a 28%

:02:57.:02:59.

difference in the hourly But there are

:03:00.:03:02.

significant variations. For mothers it grows to 33% by

:03:03.:03:09.

the time the first child reaches 12. One of the key areas to look

:03:10.:03:16.

at is what happens when women At that point, wage

progression shuts down. This could be because they are not

with some form of discrimination or power that employers

are exercising and holding She is showing them

the correct way to polish. The workplace has changed

since the 1940s, but the persistent Before a family arrives,

:03:44.:03:47.

there is already a 10% Some people argue at least part

:03:48.:03:53.

of the gender pay gap is down to choice, mothers making

:03:54.:03:58.

the decision to leave work to look But although that may partially be

:03:59.:04:01.

true, is it really a choice when childcare is so prohibitively

:04:02.:04:06.

expensive for many? Is it really a choice when flexible

:04:07.:04:10.

working is not valued as highly by many businesses as

:04:11.:04:14.

traditional 9-to-5 working? Is it really a choice that

when mothers return to work We have 750 employees,

:04:19.:04:20.

of which 70% are women. Laura runs a mother-and-child

:04:21.:04:29.

clothing firm. She encourages employees,

:04:30.:04:31.

men and women, to work fixable hours and welcomes parents back

:04:32.:04:36.

to the office. If you have been a full-time parent

:04:37.:04:39.

or have been working in a less-demanding job for a few

:04:40.:04:41.

years whilst your children are young, you still have a huge

:04:42.:04:45.

amount to offer, and I am keen on employing people

:04:46.:04:48.

who have had their babies and are keen to come back

:04:49.:04:51.

into the workforce and progress. The Government has pledged to act,

:04:52.:04:55.

the new Prime Minister making it That means fighting

:04:56.:04:58.

against the burning injustice. If you are a woman, you will earn

:04:59.:05:06.

less than a man. Businesses will be forced to publish

:05:07.:05:09.

the pay rates for men and women. More shared parental

:05:10.:05:14.

leave is available. But end the pay gap in a generation,

:05:15.:05:16.

as the Government once pledged? That is still a long

:05:17.:05:21.

way from being hit. We heard the Prime Minister, what

:05:22.:05:37.

more can the Government do? The Prime Minister, who returns from

:05:38.:05:40.

holiday tomorrow, has set herself a stiff target, this is a stubborn

:05:41.:05:45.

issue, for all workers, the gap between men and women is 18%. They

:05:46.:05:53.

have given themselves to macro tools. The first is the publication

:05:54.:05:58.

of the gender wage gap by businesses. That will lead to some

:05:59.:06:02.

action. Businesses would be embarrassed by a large gap and will

:06:03.:06:06.

take action. Secondly, they have offered more shared parental leave.

:06:07.:06:10.

The take-up by fathers is pretty miserable. Less than 1%, some

:06:11.:06:16.

suggest, fathers take the extended leave they have been offered by the

:06:17.:06:21.

Government. Ranged against the Government are big obstacles. In

book benefit cuts tend to disproportionately affect women, it

:06:27.:06:29.

makes it harder for them to come back into work. Also, the public

:06:30.:06:36.

sector is shrinking, the private sector is growing, the wage gap in

:06:37.:06:39.

the private sector is larger than in the public sector. And the cost of

childcare, it costs a third more to send your child to nursery than it

did five years ago. The reason may knows she has a massive challenge

ahead. It will be the Autumn Statement when we see the first

:06:54.:06:55.

evidence of whether they will tackle this issue, and how.

:06:56.:06:57.

Virgin Trains is challenging footage showing the Labour leader

:06:58.:07:00.

Jeremy Corbyn sitting on the floor of what he called

:07:01.:07:03.

a "ram-packed" service because he couldn't find a seat.

:07:04.:07:06.

The train company has released CCTV footage of Mr Corbyn on the London

:07:07.:07:10.

to Newcastle train earlier this month, which appears

:07:11.:07:12.

Crouching on the floor of a virgin train, this was Jeremy Corbyn's

:07:13.:07:25.

claim. The train is rampart. The video was recorded on the 11th

:07:26.:07:48.

AM departure from London to new Castle on August 11. His film the

:07:49.:07:53.

complaint was released. But now Virgin Trains has hit back,

:07:54.:07:58.

releasing CCTV pictures the company says shows there were seats

:07:59.:08:02.

available. According to them, seven minutes into the journey, Jeremy

:08:03.:08:07.

Corbyn walks past several unreserved seats in coach H. He also walked

:08:08.:08:11.

past a number of reserved but empty seats a minute later. Then at

:08:12.:08:17.

11:43am he returned to coach H with the help of on-board crew and took a

:08:18.:08:22.

seat. The train got relocated two passengers to first class so his

:08:23.:08:25.

group could sit together. But that was after Jeremy Corbyn had walked

:08:26.:08:30.

to the end of the train, sat on the floor and recorded his video. In a

:08:31.:08:33.

statement from Virgin Trains, the company said...

:08:34.:08:46.

The company says it knows it can be hard to find seats on some of its

:08:47.:08:52.

East and West Coast services, and Jeremy Corbyn is not the first

:08:53.:08:56.

commuter to complain of overcrowding, but it is the

:08:57.:08:59.

suggestion he was deceptive to make a political point that could be

:09:00.:09:03.

damaging. Jeremy Corbyn champion of a nationalised railway, he has been

:09:04.:09:08.

taken to task by a private operator, but his team insists it is Virgin

:09:09.:09:11.

Trains who have got this wrong, and when they first boarded, there were

:09:12.:09:17.

no free unreserved seat available, so they, like others, had to wait

:09:18.:09:21.

for some to become free. This was, they said, AIPAC train. What you

:09:22.:09:28.

cannot see the fact there was luggage on seats or small children

:09:29.:09:31.

who you may not be able to see. I was there, there were no seats

:09:32.:09:36.

available on the train, that is why he sat on the floor for the first

:09:37.:09:40.

part of the journey. His usual garden gate politeness was missing

:09:41.:09:44.

this evening. Thank you for invading my private space. His irritation

:09:45.:09:54.

clear. Richard Branson has decided... At a rally later, his

:09:55.:10:00.

campaign chief hit back at Virgin Trains, accusing Sir Richard Branson

:10:01.:10:04.

of having a pop at the Labour leader because of his plans to

:10:05.:10:07.

renationalise the railways. Jeremy Corbyn's rival Owen Smith tried to

:10:08.:10:13.

make mileage out of the row, saying his campaign remained on track.

:10:14.:10:20.

Why does this matter? Central to his pitch is that he is straight,

:10:21.:10:27.

principled and unspun. A spot that brings his character into question

:10:28.:10:31.

risks political harm, which is why his team have been desperate to

:10:32.:10:35.

quash Virgin Trains' version of events, but the company has its

:10:36.:10:40.

reputation to protect, and they remain emphatic that Jeremy Corbyn

:10:41.:10:43.

walks past empty seats when he got on the train. Will this damage

:10:44.:10:48.

Jeremy Corbyn? It is unlikely. It is the sort of skirmish that will

:10:49.:10:49.

energise his supporters. Team GB arrived home to a heroes'

:10:50.:10:51.

welcome this morning. They touched down at Heathrow

:10:52.:10:53.

the special number BA2016 Just a warning, not surprisingly,

there is some flash photography. It arrived carrying a haul

but on board the Olympic The 11-hour flight, plenty

of time to celebrate. And plenty of time for Max Whitlock

to show off some of the skills that These are moments to

cherish for Team GB. They are a team that took

on the world and won. You sense this is going

to take a while to sink They returned home having made

:12:09.:12:10.

history here in Rio, a record 67 medals, two more

than London 2012. And success has created

a whole host of new stars. After winning the hearts

of the country, today they returned

to their loved ones. And there was much to catch up on,

that is once they found Team colours made

it was an Olympics of firsts. Katherine Grainger won silver

to become the first British woman to claim five medals in separate

:13:31.:13:33.

Games, but this one for the team It was so tangible that

:13:34.:13:36.

suddenly people were like, this performance will make

:13:37.:13:42.

a difference to the whole nation. And I think for that reason,

:13:43.:13:45.

probably because it was more unexpected and it was a challenge

:13:46.:13:47.

that no nation has ever done, and we finished second

:13:48.:13:50.

in the medal table, sandwiched between the superpowers

to argue that that was not For many of these returning

shifting. This research suggests

for every 1,000 women aged 50 to 54 who are not on HRT,

of America's energy policy. Donald Trump says global warming

:17:44.:17:47.

isn't worth worrying about. He's pledged to revive

the coal industry. But Hillary Clinton is warning that

:17:52.:17:54.

climate change is one of the most She wants the US to invest

:17:55.:17:57.

more in renewable power. Our science editor David Shukman

reports from Ohio. On the Ohio River, a vast fleet

complex, coal is now caught up in the battle

:18:17.:18:22.

for the White House. Put simply, Donald Trump supports

:18:23.:18:25.

it, Hillary Clinton does not. The coal mines here are like

:18:26.:18:32.

underground cities, stretching for miles,

:18:33.:18:35.

but because of tough pollution controls and cheaper shale gas,

:18:36.:18:37.

dozens of mining companies have Donald Trump offers them

:18:38.:18:40.

the prospect of revival. By the end of the year,

:18:41.:18:46.

this mine will close. The miners blame environmentalists

:18:47.:18:53.

and President Obama's action on climate change,

:18:54.:18:58.

and one leading mine owner - a Trump supporter -

:18:59.:19:01.

tells me real damage has been done. When two coal miners get laid off,

if they own anything it's their homes, and when they get

laid off they have no one So, those people that just

scourge than America has The problem with coal

comes when you burn it. It releases carbon dioxide,

which is blamed for global warming. Donald Trump says that isn't

a problem but Hillary Clinton says it is, and she is offering

a greener future instead. In another corner of Ohio,

over whether climate change is a threat or not,

:20:02.:20:02.

there's been an incredibly rapid industrial transformation so that

:20:03.:20:05.

a factory like this one is now producing solar panels that

:20:06.:20:08.

have tumbled in price. It means that solar power can be

Port Talbot together. For over a century these works have

the steelworks were put up for sale. David does not really know

what that means for his job there or what the next

months will bring. There are less people

for Theresa May to change course completely and not be bound

by her predecessor's pledges. If there is a role

Theresa May is prepared to go even further to ensure

Britain's key commodities, key manufacturing industries,

and how we can help strengthen them I think there will be a situation

:27:33.:27:34.

in which ministers will be encouraged and leave absolutely

:27:35.:27:40.

no stone unturned. David knows that decisions made

in Downing Street may decide the fate of his industry,

of the 21st century? Almost 200 critics from around

:28:24.:28:25.

the world have been asked by the BBC to come up with the best 100 films

:28:26.:28:28.

of the recent past. Our entertainment correspondent

:28:29.:28:31.

David Sillito has been Mulholland Drive, the best film of

:28:32.:28:52.

the 21st century, according to a poll of critics. Surreal,

:28:53.:29:01.

mysterious, utterly baffling. This is a masterpiece of surrealist

:29:02.:29:10.

endeavour. Imagination, genius. Critic Nick James said while it

:29:11.:29:18.

wouldn't be his number one, it would be close. His favourite is actually

:29:19.:29:27.

number two, In The Mood For Love. It is a visual extravaganza that is

:29:28.:29:33.

full of emotion. The brief encounter of our time, and there is nothing to

:29:34.:29:47.

touch it. Wall.E is one of five animations on the list. Richard

:29:48.:29:54.

Linklater appears twice, so is this a golden age of cinema because a lot

:29:55.:29:58.

of talent has recently left for television? Nick James thinks the

:29:59.:30:03.

problem is not a shortage of films bought a glut. I think the market is

:30:04.:30:14.

flooded with too many films, and that may lead to... Just the

:30:15.:30:21.

difficulty of reception of finding where the great stuff is. But they

:30:22.:30:29.

have found a clear winner, a film about an amnesiac actress, the

:30:30.:30:39.

subconscious, and... Do you get it? I think that I receive everything

:30:40.:30:45.

that David Lynch would like me to receive from Mulholland Drive. Do

:30:46.:30:53.

you get it? I don't think that is a sensible question. So even the

:30:54.:30:59.

critics find it baffling but they still consider it to be the

:31:00.:31:01.

century's masterpiece so far. Newsnight is coming up
