:05:06. > :05:12.A big unknown is how the public will react.
:05:13. > :05:14.Also important is how voters judge the government's handling

:05:19. > :05:20.or Northern Ireland as there are no plans
:05:21. > :05:24.In England, the dispute has intensified with no sign tonight
:05:25. > :05:38.Our political correspondent Vicky Young is at Westminster.
:05:39. > :05:45.Hugh Pym saying that there is no sign of any peace deal. Do you think
:05:46. > :05:50.this kind of escalation will put a lot more pressure on ministers? You
:05:51. > :05:54.would think so, but all the signs today are they are standing lately
:05:55. > :05:59.firm. I think if Theresa May had wanted a change in direction, the
:06:00. > :06:04.time to do that was when she became Prime Minister. She could have moved
:06:05. > :06:08.Jeremy Hunt or fired him. Instead, I understand they did speak about the
:06:09. > :06:12.doctors strike, the junior doctors contract and they agreed a way
:06:13. > :06:17.forward. She clearly decided he was the best person to stay in the job.
:06:18. > :06:21.Speaking to those close to the Health Secretary, they feel this is
:06:22. > :06:28.a manifesto commitment. They feel they have compromised massively on
:06:29. > :06:31.this. Crucially they say they had a deal. The BMA did decide they would
:06:32. > :06:34.agree this deal. They now feel junior doctors have gone back on
:06:35. > :06:39.that and they have called their reaction extreme and unreasonable.
:06:40. > :06:44.So where does it go from here? The one thing that could change things
:06:45. > :06:47.could be public opinion, more operations being cancelled or
:06:48. > :06:51.postponed. Junior doctors feel they have had the support of the public
:06:52. > :06:53.until now. If that was to change, this could be the one thing that
:06:54. > :06:58.breaks the deadlock. Thank you. Manufacturing companies
:06:59. > :07:00.have reported a strong recovery in August -
:07:01. > :07:02.after suffering from an apparent loss of confidence in July -
:07:03. > :07:06.following the Brexit vote. The value of the pound rose sharply,
:07:07. > :07:08.after a survey suggested the manufacturing sector
:07:09. > :07:10.enjoyed its biggest recovery Our economics correspondent
:07:11. > :07:32.Andy Verity is in a factory Thank you. This is actually a glass
:07:33. > :07:36.manufacturer here. They are thriving so much they are having to work
:07:37. > :07:42.through the night just in order to meet demand. That is indicative of a
:07:43. > :07:46.new buoyant mood among manufacturers. The data we have
:07:47. > :07:51.today talks to executives at companies like this and asks are
:07:52. > :07:55.they still better or worse? Anything over 50 says they are feeling
:07:56. > :08:00.better. The reading we got today was 53.5 which is up by five points.
:08:01. > :08:07.That is one of the biggest gains we have had in 25 years. July was very
:08:08. > :08:09.gloomy so that is a big bounce back. Why is this happening? The
:08:10. > :08:16.manufacturers are telling us that the pound's devaluation has really
:08:17. > :08:26.helped them. There is a pound at $1 33 Ruffley, it used to be 1-point
:08:27. > :08:30.for three so it used to be 10% cheaper. It acts as a stimulus to
:08:31. > :08:34.the economy. On the other hand, the flip side is you have to pay more
:08:35. > :08:41.when you are importing materials from abroad. Companies like this are
:08:42. > :08:45.often paying 10% more. 44% of companies said they are paying more
:08:46. > :08:49.for their imports. That has not fed through to us, the consumer yet, but
:08:50. > :08:56.you can expect it to in the coming months. Thank you. Andy is in the

:13:45. > :13:49.has changed? Lets focus minds for a moment. Fergal Keane mentioned a
:13:50. > :13:54.deal, a controversial deal with Turkey whereby Turkey would stop the
:13:55. > :13:59.flow of Syrians and take care of them in Turkey, in exchange for visa
:14:00. > :14:03.free travel for Turks across the EU. Turkey was supposed to meet other
:14:04. > :14:08.conditions before that happened. It has not and there will be crisis
:14:09. > :14:14.talks next week to try and rescue that deal. But that deal is looking
:14:15. > :14:17.fragile. And other deals as well. One of the reasons why Syrian
:14:18. > :14:22.families leave is because there are no schools for their children. In
:14:23. > :14:26.February, here in London, Western leaders promised they would get all
:14:27. > :14:30.Syrian refugee children in the region in school by the end of this
:14:31. > :14:34.school year. The school year is starting and the funds are nowhere
:14:35. > :14:39.in sight. More importantly, no end in sight for the war. Not in Syria,
:14:40. > :14:46.not to mention Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Eritrea, and life getting
:14:47. > :14:49.harder in so many places. We see today in, day out, that people are
:14:50. > :14:56.willing to do anything they can to escape. Governments have to focus on
:14:57. > :15:00.this question. They have to decide who I genuine refugees and give them
:15:01. > :15:05.asylum. They have a right under international law. And decide if
:15:06. > :15:09.there are spaces and jobs for the migrants coming in. Is there a space
:15:10. > :15:12.for them? This problem is not going to go away and it may get worse.

:23:59. > :24:01.They'll be working on new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent

:28:07. > :28:12.but I got diagnosed with a condition called dystonia.
:28:13. > :28:14.That means abnormal posturing and muscle contractures.
:28:15. > :28:25.Yeah, everything is just back to what I could do.
:28:26. > :28:33.It's been crazy the amount of people I don't know who are saying
:28:34. > :28:39.I still see myself as a little girl from Larne who just throws balls.

:29:42. > :30:00.I didn't want to make a film that didn't matter.
:30:01. > :30:08.Especially with these characters that seemed to resonate with people,

:30:12. > :30:15.Things appear, at first, to be looking up for Bridget Jones.
