:00:14. > :00:20.I want to see children from ordinary working-class families given the

:00:21. > :00:23.chances their richer contemporaries take for granted.

:00:24. > :00:25.But there's significant opposition, not least from the Government's

:00:26. > :00:30.My fear about this is that we will create again grammar schools

:00:31. > :00:35.for the few and secondary moderns for the many.

:00:36. > :00:38.We'll be looking at how the plans might work and whether they're

:00:46. > :00:48.her husband says she's not been told why.

:00:49. > :00:56.Why sentence them all for five years and then not say

:00:57. > :01:00.It is just crazy by any legal system and it is

:01:01. > :01:05.Three women arrested in Paris over a suspected terror plot

:01:06. > :01:07.were directed by so-called IS, say French authorities.

:01:26. > :01:28.Manchester derby in what is being billed as the highest profile match

:01:29. > :01:57.All schools in England should be able to apply to select

:01:58. > :02:03.That's the proposal from Theresa May -

:02:04. > :02:06.part of her plans for a huge shake up in education with

:02:07. > :02:08.a new generation of selective schools and grammar schools.

:02:09. > :02:11.She also stipulated that the new grammars

:02:12. > :02:13.would have to take children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

:02:14. > :02:15.But her proposal will face strong opposition from much

:02:16. > :02:18.of the teaching profession and from within her own party ,

:02:19. > :02:19.including the previous education secretary.

:02:20. > :02:21.Here's our deputy political editor, John Pienaar.

:02:22. > :02:27.All schools free to seek to become grammars.

:02:28. > :02:33.The biggest and most controversial shake-up in decades.

:02:34. > :02:35.The grammar school educated PM is going further than any

:02:36. > :02:39.Politicians, many of whom benefitted from the very kind of education

:02:40. > :02:43.they now seek to deny to others, have for years put their own dogma

:02:44. > :02:48.and ideology before the interests and concerns of ordinary people.

:02:49. > :02:52.For we know that grammar schools are hugely popular with parents.

:02:53. > :02:56.We know they are good for the pupils that attend them, so we help no-one.

:02:57. > :02:59.Not least those who can't afford to move house or pay for a private

:03:00. > :03:01.education by saying to parents who want a selective

:03:02. > :03:04.education for their child, we won't let them have it.

:03:05. > :03:07.What about children from poorer homes who don't often get

:03:08. > :03:12.What about schools like this, inner London comprehensive?

:03:13. > :03:14.She insisted no-one would be left behind.

:03:15. > :03:17.Britain hadn't just voted out of the EU, people

:03:18. > :03:23.And this Government is going to deliver it.

:03:24. > :03:26.Everything we do will be driven, not by the interest

:03:27. > :03:29.of the privileged few, not by those with the loudest

:03:30. > :03:34.voices, the special interests, the greatest wealth

:03:35. > :03:37.This Government's priorities are those of ordinary

:03:38. > :03:43.The Prime Minister said new grammars would have to reserve places

:03:44. > :03:45.for disadvantaged children, there would be new

:03:46. > :03:51.They would also have to offer help to local non-selective schools.

:03:52. > :03:53.She said independent fee paying schools must offer more in return

:03:54. > :03:57.They would have to give help to state schools

:03:58. > :04:06.If they want to raise tuitions fees, they will have to sponsor

:04:07. > :04:12.new schools or help underperforming ones.

:04:13. > :04:14.And Mrs May wants to relax restrictions on faith schools.

:04:15. > :04:16.If they are oversubscribed they will no longer have to offer

:04:17. > :04:19.half their places to children from outside the faith.

:04:20. > :04:21.Today you say there should be more academically elite

:04:22. > :04:24.state grammar schools, which means more talent drawn away

:04:25. > :04:27.from nonselective schools and it means the losers,

:04:28. > :04:30.who do not get into the schools, are denied the opportunities,

:04:31. > :04:33.with the greater sense of unfairness and injustice that causes.

:04:34. > :04:39.It's not fair today when some children are able to get into a good

:04:40. > :04:42.school because their parents are able to buy the house that sits

:04:43. > :04:56.So there are too many children in society today who are not getting

:04:57. > :05:00.The plan went down badly, at this comprehensive.

:05:01. > :05:02.What we are going to see is true genuine mixed

:05:03. > :05:06.This school does a great job by all children, most able,

:05:07. > :05:08.least able and middle about children, by taking one group

:05:09. > :05:11.out of schools like this, schools like this are going

:05:12. > :05:14.The man in charge of monitoring English schools standards isn't

:05:15. > :05:17.The comprehensive system is working, the academy

:05:18. > :05:22.Greater autonomy for schools is working and it

:05:23. > :05:27.My fear is that this will throw a spanner in the works

:05:28. > :05:36.Theresa May doesn't see politics or big changes in policy

:05:37. > :05:39.as an ideological game, with rival theories backward

:05:40. > :05:42.and forward, she is interested in what works, and creating a school

:05:43. > :05:45.system with more winners, without creating more losers

:05:46. > :05:49.fits her idea of a fairer Britain after Brexit.

:05:50. > :05:52.Trouble is, her critics don't believe it can be done, and tearing

:05:53. > :05:58.up decades of political consensus that can't be done without a fight.

:05:59. > :06:02.The MP Theresa May sacked as Education Secretary Nicky Morgan

:06:03. > :06:04.posted her view of the plan on social media.

:06:05. > :06:15.I want good education for every child.

:06:16. > :06:21.divides communities, divides children, and ends up giving

:06:22. > :06:24.a good chance to a minority and less chance to the majority.

:06:25. > :06:28.I don't think that is a very sensible way forward.

:06:29. > :06:31.The Prime Minister's old school has changed,

:06:32. > :06:34.a grammar no longer, but its most illustrious old pupil

:06:35. > :06:37.came away with a conviction that what worked for her can work for

:06:38. > :06:45.The proposals announced by Mrs May apply only to England.

:06:46. > :06:48.But the picture around the rest of the UK varies widely.

:06:49. > :06:51.In Northern Ireland nearly half of all pupils go to grammar schools

:06:52. > :06:54.- but there are none in Scotland and Wales.

:06:55. > :06:56.Our education editor Branwen Jeffreys reports now

:06:57. > :06:59.from two very different parts of Greater Manchester -

:07:00. > :07:01.Tameside, which doesn't have grammar schools -

:07:02. > :07:08.Educating the girls of Altrincham for 100 years.

:07:09. > :07:12.A third of pupils in Trafford go to grammar schools now.

:07:13. > :07:16.So how, in this leafy area, can they be open to all?

:07:17. > :07:19.With the right circumstances, then all children can flourish.

:07:20. > :07:22.The head teacher tells me they have started a quota system,

:07:23. > :07:26.setting aside some places for poor families.

:07:27. > :07:29.We are here in Altrincham, we cannot change that,

:07:30. > :07:34.But that doesn't mean that we cannot work with schools in other parts

:07:35. > :07:37.of Manchester to make sure that all of us provide the best possible

:07:38. > :07:42.The lessons learned here are being shared.

:07:43. > :07:47.This school is part of a group which includes comprehensives.

:07:48. > :07:50.So grammar schools argue that they are already changing.

:07:51. > :07:53.That they are no longer just about improving the life chances

:07:54. > :08:01.Schools like this are reaching out to others in deprived areas

:08:02. > :08:03.and working with them to raise standards across

:08:04. > :08:09.But look at grammar schools across England and just 3% of pupils

:08:10. > :08:17.In nearby non-selective schools, it is 18%.

:08:18. > :08:24.And 13% of grammar school pupils come from independent schools.

:08:25. > :08:28.In Altrincham, most pupils also need to live nearby to get in.

:08:29. > :08:32.In streets of smart houses and clipped hedges.

:08:33. > :08:37.No surprise this is called a social mobility hotspot.

:08:38. > :08:40.Trafford is at the top end of good places to grow up.

:08:41. > :08:43.Better chances of going to university, getting a well-paid job.

:08:44. > :08:46.Travel to the other side of Manchester and it's

:08:47. > :08:52.Tameside is what is called a social mobility coldspot.

:08:53. > :08:59.That is not just down to education but jobs and health, too.

:09:00. > :09:06.Primary school is all about letting your imagination fly.

:09:07. > :09:11.Audenshaw primary school is in an area not rich, not poor.

:09:12. > :09:15.Kids go on to local high schools - one good, one struggling.

:09:16. > :09:18.Our motto is putting children first, regardless of ability.

:09:19. > :09:22.But like many teachers, the head here is uneasy about selection.

:09:23. > :09:25.You bring them in, you nurture them, you get to know the parents,

:09:26. > :09:27.we get to know all the parents in the school.

:09:28. > :09:31.And that, to me, is what education is actually about.

:09:32. > :09:33.Getting to know the families and treating all the

:09:34. > :09:39.Audenshaw is the kind of area where most parents go out to work.

:09:40. > :09:44.Sometimes juggling two or three jobs to make ends meet.

:09:45. > :09:49.Just the kind of families that Theresa May wants to reach.

:09:50. > :09:53.So I asked some of the parents here what they made of the suggestion

:09:54. > :09:57.I am from round here and I went to the school, my children do.

:09:58. > :10:01.And I think grammar schools are a good way

:10:02. > :10:05.It doesn't fill me with confidence, I feel like children

:10:06. > :10:07.from all backgrounds should be getting the same quality

:10:08. > :10:16.Will this generation grow up with selection?

:10:17. > :10:18.There is a fund of ?50 million to encourage it.

:10:19. > :10:20.But there are risks for existing grammars and their reputations.

:10:21. > :10:24.Risks, too, for academies, who want to make progress

:10:25. > :10:31.Branwen Jeffreys, BBC News, Tameside.

:10:32. > :10:33.Let's go back to our deputy political editor, Jon Pienaar,

:10:34. > :10:40.This is Thresea May's first domestic policy statement

:10:41. > :10:43.and it sets out huge change which has taken many by surprise.

:10:44. > :10:45.But the Prime Minister will have a fight on her hands

:10:46. > :10:56.Yes. There will be trouble in Parliament and the House of Commons

:10:57. > :11:00.and House of Lords, which is ironic considering Theresa May owes part of

:11:01. > :11:05.popularity to her perception as a for stability in the turmoil after

:11:06. > :11:10.the EU referendum and today we can see she is willing to take on big

:11:11. > :11:14.change, big policy challenges, even if that means a fight and this well.

:11:15. > :11:20.In the House of Commons, criticism from your own side as well as the

:11:21. > :11:23.other parties, there is a tiny government majority and in the House

:11:24. > :11:28.of Lords there will be those who think they can stop this in its

:11:29. > :11:32.tracks, it was not spelt out in the manifesto so it means there is no

:11:33. > :11:36.obligation for the peers to respect this, there will be a fight there

:11:37. > :11:41.also. Theresa May's sees this as part of answer to the demand for

:11:42. > :11:44.change and fairness she sees as a backbeat to that European referendum

:11:45. > :11:48.campaign and there is personal commitment. She writes in the Daily

:11:49. > :11:52.Mail offer time at grammar school and how those teachers helped make

:11:53. > :11:56.the woman she is. What we know about the woman she is tells us she is not

:11:57. > :11:59.about to back down from this position any time soon. John

:12:00. > :12:02.Pienaar, thank you. The Foreign Office says it's deeply

:12:03. > :12:05.concerned about the fate of a British Iranian woman who's

:12:06. > :12:07.been sentenced to five Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe,

:12:08. > :12:10.who's a charity worker, was detained in April

:12:11. > :12:12.while visiting her parents in Iran Today, she was convicted

:12:13. > :12:15.by a Revolutionary Court on charges Her British husband has

:12:16. > :12:32.been speaking to our Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe faces five

:12:33. > :12:39.years in a high security Iranian jail. She had been visiting family

:12:40. > :12:42.with her young daughter when she was arrested by the Revolutionary Guards

:12:43. > :12:48.as in returning to the UK. She was accused of trying to engineer the

:12:49. > :12:51.peaceful overthrow of the Republic. When her husband was allowed to

:12:52. > :12:55.speak to her on the phone briefly this morning, he told me she did not

:12:56. > :13:02.know the exact charges. Why sentence them for five years and not say why?

:13:03. > :13:05.That is crazy by any legal system and it is a punishment without

:13:06. > :13:11.crime. It looks like nonsense. This is where she is held- the prison is

:13:12. > :13:15.notorious in Iran, we spoke to someone who knows what it is like.

:13:16. > :13:22.Every prison has a history of executions and torture, thousands of

:13:23. > :13:31.innocent lives perished in that prison. And for someone like her,

:13:32. > :13:37.who has not had any prison experience, that prison, being

:13:38. > :13:40.there, is torture. Iran's relations with the West have been improving

:13:41. > :13:44.since the deal on the nuclear programme. This was the reopening of

:13:45. > :13:49.the British Embassy last year and earlier this week ties were upgraded

:13:50. > :13:53.to full diplomatic relations. Many believe Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is

:13:54. > :14:02.a victim of infighting within this regime between hardliners and the

:14:03. > :14:06.moderate president. Another victim, Gabriella Ratcliff, filmed before

:14:07. > :14:10.the arrest of a mother at her grandparents' house in Iran. She has

:14:11. > :14:14.spent a quarter of life separated from both parents. She told her

:14:15. > :14:21.husband she dreams of her daughter every diet. It is just horrendous

:14:22. > :14:26.she cannot take another day of it. And yet she is powerless to do

:14:27. > :14:29.anything. Amnesty International has called the case against Nazanin

:14:30. > :14:30.Zaghari-Ratcliffe a complete travesty of justice. The foreign

:14:31. > :14:35.office says it is deeply concerned. A brief look at some

:14:36. > :14:38.of the day's other news stories. Police are looking into

:14:39. > :14:40.whether the Labour MP Keith Vaz committed any crimes

:14:41. > :14:41.following allegations Mr Vaz resigned as chair

:14:42. > :14:45.of the Home Affairs Select Committee after a newspaper claimed

:14:46. > :14:47.that he paid for the services Thames Valley Police say they've

:14:48. > :14:51.found the body of the last man missing after part of Didcot power

:14:52. > :14:54.station collapsed back in February. Four men were killed

:14:55. > :14:55.in the incident. The body is believed

:14:59. > :15:04.is recalling more than four million vehicles due to a software defect

:15:05. > :15:07.linked to at least one death. The company says the fault is rare

:15:08. > :15:10.but can prevent airbags The vast majority of vehicles

:15:11. > :15:19.affected are in the United States. The three women arrested near Paris

:15:20. > :15:22.yesterday on suspicion of planning imminent terror attacks

:15:23. > :15:24.on the capital were being directed remotely by so-called

:15:25. > :15:25.Islamic State in Syria. That's according to the French

:15:26. > :15:28.prosecutor, who also revealed one of the women had been engaged

:15:29. > :15:30.to the extremist who killed The women were detained after a car

:15:31. > :15:34.was discovered near Notre Dame Our Paris correspondent,

:15:35. > :15:48.Lucy Williamson, has more. This, say police, was the heart

:15:49. > :15:51.of a terrorist cell of three young women, controlled

:15:52. > :15:52.directly from Syria. Officers tracked them to this

:15:53. > :15:56.flat south of Paris. And yesterday evening,

:15:57. > :15:59.while still undercover, caught them as they emerged

:16:00. > :16:06.onto the street outside. In the chaos, the youngest -

:16:07. > :16:09.just 19 years old - stabbed an officer with a large

:16:38. > :16:46.last weekend, packed with gas canisters and a petrol soaked

:16:47. > :16:50.blanket, but no detonator On one of the suspects investigators

:16:51. > :16:58.say they found keys to the car Another, they say, had been

:16:59. > :17:05.romantically involved with some of the men who had carried out

:17:06. > :17:07.jihadist attacks One of her former fiances is said

:17:08. > :17:13.to be Abdel Kamish, the teenager who killed a priest in Rouen less

:17:14. > :17:16.than two months ago. Speaking after the arrests last

:17:17. > :17:19.night, France's Interior Minister said the hunt for the woman had been

:17:20. > :17:28.a race against time. TRANSLATION: These women, aged 39,

:17:29. > :17:30.23 and 19 years old, were radicalised and politicised

:17:58. > :18:06.used a robot to operate The patient was a 70-year-old man

:18:07. > :18:20.who had the vision in his right eye restored after the robot removed

:18:21. > :18:22.a membrane just 100th The technology should mean that

:18:23. > :18:26.in future surgeons will be able to do more complex procedures

:18:27. > :18:28.than are currently possible. Our medical correspondent Fergus

:18:29. > :18:30.Walsh has this exclusive report. Deterioration of sight

:18:31. > :18:34.in my right eye is progressive. Bill Beaver is going blind

:18:35. > :18:38.in one eye. If, for example, I take a book,

:18:39. > :18:41.and I cover my left eye, which is still good,

:18:42. > :18:46.all I see is mush. His central vision

:18:47. > :18:48.is completely gone. But that is about to change,

:18:49. > :18:55.at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital. In theatre, the surgeon uses a joy

:18:56. > :19:01.stick to move the robot arm, Robot-assisted surgery is now

:19:02. > :19:11.commonplace, especially in cancer operations, but this

:19:12. > :19:14.will be a world first. Never before has a robot been used

:19:15. > :19:21.to operate inside the eye. This is delicate surgery,

:19:22. > :19:26.involving tiny precise movements, to remove a membrane

:19:27. > :19:28.which is causing Bill's sight loss. Crucially, the robot can filter out

:19:29. > :19:37.the surgeon's hand tremors. The robot has to pivot around a tiny

:19:38. > :19:40.hole in the wall of the eye. Inside, it removes

:19:41. > :19:42.a membrane just 100th of a millimetre thick -

:19:43. > :19:45.shown in blue - which is Allowing the hole in

:19:46. > :19:56.the retina to close. If you could hold

:19:57. > :19:58.your watch face up. Just a few days later

:19:59. > :20:00.and the results are clear. And before long, his distance vision

:20:01. > :20:10.will return to normal. It's almost the world of fairy

:20:11. > :20:16.tales, but it is true. It is the difference between active

:20:17. > :20:19.and doing the things I need to do, The surgeon says the robot performed

:20:20. > :20:26.better than the human hand. I think we're going to go

:20:27. > :20:30.into a new era of eye surgery, where we will be placing things

:20:31. > :20:38.at the back of the eye, under the retina, very

:20:39. > :20:40.much more accurately, and with greater precision

:21:09. > :21:10.accounts two years ago. Our business correspondent, Emma

:21:11. > :21:15.Simpson, joins me in the studio. Emma, this was a massive

:21:16. > :21:25.scandal for Tesco. It really was, it plunged Tesco into

:21:26. > :21:31.turmoil. It stunned the city and wiped billions off the value of the

:21:32. > :21:36.company. Now it centred on how it has incorrected income from supplier

:21:37. > :21:41.which boosted its profits and today the SFO charged three men. Carl row

:21:42. > :21:50.burring, the former finance director for Tesco UK who you can see there,

:21:51. > :21:56.John Schooler, and the most senior of them all Tesco's former UK boss.

:21:57. > :22:01.They are all accused of fraud, by abusive position and a charge of

:22:02. > :22:05.false accounts. Two of them made statements through their laws today

:22:06. > :22:10.saying they weren't guilty but they would be contesting the allegations

:22:11. > :22:14.vigorously, as for Tesco it said it continued to co-operate with the

:22:15. > :22:19.SFO, and that it had made extensive changes over the last two years. In

:22:20. > :22:22.other words, this business is a very different one compared to its

:22:23. > :22:29.darkest days in 2014. But could there be more to come? Because the

:22:30. > :22:31.SFO says its investigation into Tesco are ongoing. Thank you.

:23:12. > :23:20.From Japan today, planes took off to gather air samples

:23:21. > :23:22.to try to determine what kind of device was exploded.

:23:23. > :23:32.We are gravely concerned by reports of a nuclear device being tested

:23:33. > :23:34.by North Korea and this is a flagrant violation

:23:35. > :23:36.of Security Council resolutions and threatens the stability

:23:37. > :23:50.The underground blast happened at this site in North Korea.

:23:51. > :23:52.Only nine months after the last nuclear test.

:24:20. > :24:23.Here tonight in Seoul in South Korea, life goes on.

:24:24. > :24:27.People assume Kim Jong-un's bloodthirsty threats to turn

:24:43. > :25:00.The regime there is celebrating a great triumph tonight.

:25:01. > :25:04.But there is no sign of that regime being close to collapse.

:25:05. > :25:06.North Korea does not have nuclear-tipped missiles yet,

:25:07. > :25:08.but it's working steadily towards getting them.

:25:25. > :25:33.A helicopter managed to winch out some of those trapped to safety.

:25:43. > :25:46.In the last hour there's been another gold - this time Jody Cundy

:25:47. > :25:48.stormed to victory in his one kilometre time-trial

:25:49. > :25:51.Earlier, para-cyclist Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott won

:25:52. > :25:53.gold in their women's 1,000m time trial.

:25:54. > :26:08.Two rider, one common goal. At the back of the tandem Sophie Thornhill

:26:09. > :26:12.who is visually impaired piloted by Helen Scott, together, the perfect

:26:13. > :26:18.peddling partnership. That made them the fastest so far in the time

:26:19. > :26:23.trial. But would anyone go faster? Well, when they last rivals failed

:26:24. > :26:27.to beat their time they knew the gold was there theirs. Cue unbridled

:26:28. > :26:34.joy as the velodrome echoed to British cheers. Manufacture

:26:35. > :26:38.Yesterday, they had been been for this woman, Dame Sarah Storey. It

:26:39. > :26:43.was her first though with daughter Louisa and and she told me that made

:26:44. > :26:47.it particularly special. Having her here is the icing on the cake. It

:26:48. > :26:52.doesn't get much better having your kids to watch you win. Whether she

:26:53. > :26:55.remembers it nor she is excited to have the mascot. I never thought I

:26:56. > :26:59.could leave her at home, she is included in everything we do and

:27:00. > :27:05.that obviously, is just fantastic to have her here. In the athletics

:27:06. > :27:10.there was a Silver Medal for Steph Reed, but success mingled with

:27:11. > :27:14.controversy. Visually impaired sprinter Libby Clegg setting a world

:27:15. > :27:20.record only to be disqualified after it was ruled her guide runner pulled

:27:21. > :27:26.her along. Britain appealed and Clegg will compete in the final

:27:27. > :27:32.tonight. But the title of world east fastest Paralympian once again went

:27:33. > :27:37.to Ireland. Ireland. Jason Smyth has less than 10% vision. 10.64 seconds,

:27:38. > :27:43.his third title in a row. And in the last hour, more British success,

:27:44. > :27:46.four years ago in London, Jody Cundy was disqualified, prompting a

:27:47. > :27:51.furious and expressive filled rant. This time, though it was a ride of

:27:56. > :28:02.after the agony of London, victory in Rio.

:28:03. > :28:06.And just moments later gold in the athletic, Georgie Hermitage quit the

:28:07. > :28:11.sport as a teenager but inspired by 2012 she returned, and this was her

:28:12. > :28:16.moment, a world record, and tears of joy. And there was more. 19-year-old

:28:17. > :28:21.Sophie Hahn took up athletics after watching Jonny peacock in London and

:28:22. > :28:30.now she has her own title. Three gold medals in 10 minutes, for

:28:31. > :28:37.British sport, some evening! Guess what, another gold medal in

:28:38. > :28:39.the swimming for 15-year-old Ellie Robinson, a schoolgirl from

:28:40. > :28:43.Northampton, quite extraordinary, that makes it ten gold medals in the

:28:44. > :28:47.first two days, it has been some start here, for the British team.

:28:48. > :28:49.Congratulations to them all. Thank you very much.
