After weeks of delay, the Government has | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
approved the building of a new nuclear power plant, | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
At a cost of ?18 billion, supporters say it's vital | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
It will provide 7% of the UK's energy needs, giving secure | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
electricity to 6 million homes for 60 years. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
France, and controversially China, are providing the money | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
for Hinkley C, with Beijing cleared to build another nuclear | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
The Government has primary responsibility to safeguard | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
our national security, but neither the Secretary of State, | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
nor the Prime Minister have ever been clear about what they consider | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
The Government says safeguards are in place to protect | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
We'll be analysing whether the Hinkley deal is a good one | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Full downstairs with over a ward of patients. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
We need to get those patients moved as soon as possible. | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
How the crisis in social care in England has led to a massive | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
rise in those unable to leave hospital. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
We speak to one patient who's been waiting 72 days to go home. | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
I have to say it's great to be back on the campaign trail. | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Hillary Clinton is back on the Presidential campaign | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
trail, after collapsing with pneumonia last week.. | :01:29. | :01:29. | |
The Government says the BBC must reveal the names of any staff | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
earning more than ?150,000, as part of the renewal | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
And the journey of one Syrian refugee. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
How this 15-year-old is building a new life in Germany. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |

Britain is to get its first new nuclear power plant in 20 years. | :01:54. | :02:20. | |
The Government has finalised a deal for the building | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
of Hinkley C in Somerset, with the French company EDF, | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
and billions of pounds of investment from China. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
The Prime Minister, Theresa May, was expected to agree the deal | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
two months ago, but ordered a review on security | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
The Government says it will now impose safeguards | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
for future foreign investment in infrastructure projects. | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
But Labour says the measures are 'window-dressing'. | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
Here's our political editor Laura Kuenssberg. | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
Were they really going to stop the engines? | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
And give up on years of preparation, chuck away millions already spent? | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
Statement, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
Ministers did pause, but are now pressing go. | :02:59. | :03:08. | |
Hinkley unleashes a long overdue new wave of investment in nuclear | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
engineering in the UK, creating 26,000 jobs | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
and apprenticeships, providing a huge | :03:18. | :03:18. | |
Under the ?18 billion deal, the new reactor should | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
The Chinese plan to build another new nuclear plant | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
The Government will take a special share in that and any future | :03:30. | :03:47. | |
That will give them some more control over | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
The deal was first signed last year, amid a welcome for the Chinese | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
leader, that could hardly have been more lavish. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
There were nerves around Westminster about the huge cost, | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
security and the environment, but Chinese involvement | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
in new nuclear projects was applauded at the top. | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
But with a change of the boss, a change of heart, and to Chinese | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
fury, one of Theresa May's first acts was to delay the decision | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
Mr Speaker, the Government created a commercial crisis, | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
they sent shock waves through the industry and unions | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
alike, they risked a diplomatic dispute with one of our key future | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
trading partners, and in the end all they have done is pretend | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
to give themselves powers which they already possessed. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Ministers say there will be an important new framework to check | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
up on all big projects - the hope Hinkley will help keep | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
the lights on at Big Ben and everywhere else. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
The risk is controversial and expensive. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
When Theresa May moved into Number Ten, the National Security Council | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
had already reviewed the deal, the terms had already been agreed. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
Those close at that stage tell me there is no fundamental difference | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
But imagine she had gone ahead straightaway. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
The brand-new Prime Minister would have been waving through one | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
of the most controversial deals in history, barely | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
There is no difference, and one has to wonder that Britain's | :05:20. | :05:35. | |
paid a very high diplomatic price and potentially a price | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Now there is official go ahead, the next stage | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
But no project like this has been completed before. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
All the fuss, all the political hopes for Hinkley | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
The boss of the French energy firm, EDF, which will build the new plant, | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
says the deal is a big boost for the UK and "great news" | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Here's our business editor, Simon Jack. | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
Off the drawing board and into reality. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Today was heralded as the renaissance of UK nuclear | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
but in truth it's been a protracted and difficult rebirth. | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
But one to be celebrated, according to its proud French parent. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
It is a great boost for the UK industry and it is a great step | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
It is not just good news for the French builders | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
the benefits of this project will be felt in the economy | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
We are really pleased about the jobs which were promised, | :06:36. | :06:45. | |
over 25,000 over its lifetime, 500 new apprentices, and, | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
We are really pleased about the jobs which were promised, | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
over 25,000 over its lifetime, 500 new apprentices, and, | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
of course, plenty of jobs within the supply chain. | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
Similar projects in France and Finland have run billions over | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
budget and years over schedule - risks the builders will bear | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
We are really pleased about the jobs which were promised, | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
Similar projects in France and Finland have run billions over | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
budget and years over schedule - risks the builders will bear | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
in return for potentially large rewards went built. | :07:17. | :07:17. | |
The Government clearly feels the political and economic case | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
But does that make it, in itself, a good idea? | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Now if it's delivered on budget, it'll cost that figure | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
of ?18 billion you've heard, making it the most expensive | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
The good news is that EDF and their Chinese partners | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
are paying that cost upfront, but only because the Government has | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
agreed to guarantee them a price of ?92.50 per unit of that | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
That compared to the current price of just ?43. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Now, depending on the electricity prices at any one time, | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
that equates to a subsidy of between ?10 to ?20 per household | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
When complete, it'll contribute to 7% of the UK's total electricity | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
needs but that is not enough to convince | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
Well what we need to be doing now is investing in the renewables, | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
in wind, which is already available, off-shore wind is cheaper | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
We need to invest in solar, so people can have this | :08:07. | :08:19. | |
on the roofs of their houses, put that together with batteries | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
and they could be getting revenues as well as bills. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
But when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
you have a problem, which can lead to shortfalls like yesterday, | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
when a sudden demand surge saw prices rocket to twice | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
the price of electricity produced by Hinkley. | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
The UK energy price spike has drawn attention to how narrow our supply | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
That's the reason behind the Government's thinking | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
If you thought Hinkley was controversial, wait | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
China expects to be rewarded for its support of this project, | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
with a contract to design, build and operate it's very | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
It's thought the Chinese will submit plans to build that nuclear plant, | :08:53. | :09:03. | |
But some have questioned whether Beijing should be able | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
to play such a big role in a critical part of UK | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
infrastructure, even with Government safeguards. | :09:12. | :09:12. | |
Here's our China editor, Carrie Gracie. | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
For China, today is less about Hinkley Point and more about Brad | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
well. The go ahead for the Somerset plant embeds China in future UK | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
energy plans and means that a state-owned Chinese company will be | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
building critical national infrastructure, here in Essex. The | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
Chinese side would say it's been a long time coming. Three years ago, | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
an eager Chancellor was impressed by the scale and speed of China's | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
nuclear roll-out and soon invited Beijing to invest and bid for | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
contracts in the UK. They are going to use the deal as a stepping stone | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
to achieve major foothold in the European market and you get into | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
demand sectors like nuclear, it is a major success for the Chinese. China | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
will now begin the long process of getting its nuclear reactor approved | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
in the UK and then it'll build it here in Essex T wants Bradwell to be | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
its nuclear showcase to the world and with this deal, the UK is | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
forging closer ties with China, just at the moment when other major | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Western powers are becoming more cautious in their dealings with | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
Beijing. The United States, for example, diplomatic niceties aside, | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Washington has accused the UK's new Chinese partner of stealing US | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
nuclear technology and Australia's just rejected a Chinese extra bid on | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
national security grounds. Britain is now committed to going much | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
further than its Allies and neighbours, to secure Chinese | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
investment. It brings up all kinds of questions when you are dealing | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
with the Chinese. I know that a company here in the United States | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
work with the Chinese and as a result every scrap of information, | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
every iota of technical information on all of their designs went, gone, | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
went to China. Bradwell, the symbol of mu actual | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
trust between Beijing and London - mutual trust. They'll now want to | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
put a bruising seven weeks behind them and get back to the language of | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
win-win deals to come. Expect talk of a free trade deal for a | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
post-Brexit British economy, and a Chinese role in other piece of key | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
UK infrastructure, high speed rail. The Government took close to two | :11:45. | :11:57. | |
months to review the deal. Was it ever really in doubt? I think it | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
didn't feel it was inevitable when the Prime Minister slammed the | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
brakes on at the end of July. It was a shock to a lot of people, | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
especially after the really visible enthusiasm of the previous | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
administration but when you talk to Theresa May's team they are deadly | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
serious about this. They say they were quite surprised the checks and | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
balances hadn't been more thorough on this deal, those that had been | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
put in place. They were very clear - Theresa May was not going to be | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
rushed, she very determinedly wanted tolike at this again and take her | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
time over T when you look at the big picture, to back out two would been | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
a serious two fingers up not just to the Chinese, but also to France, at | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
a time when the UK needs friends because we are embarking on the | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
process of leaving the EU. It would have been a real alarm for the | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
business community from a new Government, not necessarily because | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
there weren't alternatives but a question of trust, the deal had been | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
agreed and politically, to tear up this part of David Cameron and | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
George Osborne's legacy, would have been an enormous political statement | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
for the new Prime Minister, who, afterall, sat around the same | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
Cabinet table as them. So maybe it wasn't quite inevitable, but I do | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
think that the Government was looking for a way it make this | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
happen, rather than looking for a way out. OK, many thanks. | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
The shocking impact on the health service in England, of a crisis | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
in social care provision, has been laid bare today. | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
New figures show a rapid rise in the numbers of people | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
unable to leave hospital, because of problems | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
It's costing the NHS ?820 million a year and putting | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
hospitals under huge strain - as our social affairs correspondent | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
found out in Liverpool and, a warning, there are some | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
It's nine o'clock in the morning and the Royal Liverpool Hospital | :13:41. | :13:49. | |
In accident and emergency, patients needing immediate treatment | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
At the minute, the A department is full. | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
Each of these red dots represent someone who has been waiting | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
for more than four hours, breaching government targets. | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
One patient has been here 18 hours, ready to be moved to a ward. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
There is no capacity, we are actually overflowing in A | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
You must be really frustrated with that? | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
We need to get those patients moved as soon as possible. | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
Upstairs, senior staff are trying to free up beds | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
for the new patients needing operations or emergency treatment. | :14:35. | :14:46. | |
There is no trolley space in resuss and we have | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
two patients waiting in the corridor at the moment. | :14:50. | :14:50. | |
Have we got any patients identified who can be moved? | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
Yes, there are about three or four, we have nowhere to move them out to. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
They have more than 100 patients who are ready to leave hospital, | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
but can't because there are delays in getting home care, residential | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
The surgery cannot start until we have identified a bed | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
for someone to return to after theatre. | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
86-year-old Derek Chin is one of the patients who will go | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
He has been on the specialist stroke ward whilst waiting | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
This was the only bed available for doctors, | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
even though he had a fall, not a stroke. | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
Essentially, it is a very expensive residential home bed. | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
He isn't the problem, it is our system preventing us | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
from discharging people appropriately, which means | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
for the acute patients who have the need for these beds, | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
are being delayed downstairs in the accident and emergency department. | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
On another ward, Camille has been waiting 72 days to leave hospital, | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
but the council is struggling to find a care provider who can support | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
They should do more to get people back into the community. | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
These are the pressures being felt in an increasing number of hospitals | :15:59. | :16:15. | |
More and more cuts are expected from us... | :16:16. | :16:33. | |
The man who runs social care in the city says | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
they are struggling with budget cuts and staff shortages. | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
We are seeing more people in high demand is because of their health. | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
People are living longer which is great, we celebrate it, | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
but we don't have the services out there to cope with the number. | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
This sounds like a system at breaking point? | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
Yes, and that is what keeps me awake at night. | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
The government says it is making significantly more money available | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
to social care to ensure affordable, dignified support. | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
It is five o'clock and back at A at the Royal, | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
there is no letup in patients needing help but for this time | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
For a short period of time they had to divert ambulances | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
They have nine people on trolleys in corridors and there | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
are no resuscitation beds available at the moment. | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
Upstairs in a meeting, the implications of that are clear. | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
The emergency department is now on the highest level of alert. | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
It means, as they head into the evening, they will begin | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
the search for people who can be sent home safely all over again. | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
And you can find out the cost of care in your area, | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
wherever you live in the UK, by using the BBC's online guide. | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
Enter your postcode, local council name, | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
or Northern Ireland health board, and discover the cost | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
of an hour of homecare and information about | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
Let's take a brief look at some of the day's other top stories now. | :17:52. | :18:01. | |
Police are investigating the deaths of a woman and her nephew in London, | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
They died at a flat in East Finchley. | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
The family of the victims, named locally as Anny Ekofo, | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
who was 52, and her nephew, Bervil, may have been the victims | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Five police officers face possible dismissal over the way they dealt | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
with a man who'd broken his neck following an incident | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
Julian Cole who's 23, broke his neck outside a nightclub | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
Prosecutors are deciding whether to go to court | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
following an investigation by the police watchdog, the IPCC. | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
The Bank of England says the short-term economic impact | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
of Brexit isn't as bad as first feared. | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
It's predicting growth for the third quarter of this year | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed is in the City for us tonight. | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
This seems to mark a significant change in tone on the part of the | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
Bank of England? I think you are absolutely right. The Bank of | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
England, a definite change of tone from the rather gloomy assessment it | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
made post the referendum vote in August. It is responding to a whole | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
list of new figures which really show that the impact of the vote is | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
not as bad as expected. Employment figures are strong. Consumer | :19:24. | :19:33. | |
confidence is up. House prices haven't collapsed. Retail sales are | :19:34. | :19:42. | |
strong. After the vote the Bank of England cut interest rates to a | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
record low which boosted consumer confidence. We are still in the | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
European Union, paradoxically with a weaker currency. It is very good for | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
exports and that is another boost for the economy. There is a degree | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
of political stability and certainly warmer noises from the UK Government | :20:01. | :20:11. | |
about wanting a good trade deal with the European Union. That settled | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
some business fears. If this confidence going to continue into | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
2017? They're the bank is much more cautious. It says there is some | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
evidence of importation costs growing. It is keeping in its back | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
pocket, the opportunity or the decision to reduce interest rates | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
again if the economic data takes a turn for the worst. Thank you. | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
Hillary Clinton is back campaigning tonight in her run | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
for the White House, after collapsing at a 9/11 memorial | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
The Democratic candidate told supporters that it was great to be | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
back. Meanwhile, her Republican rival, | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
Donald Trump, has released details of his health, as our North America | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
editor Jon Sopel reports. Hillary Clinton is up | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
and running again - That's big progress from last | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
Sunday when she collapsed It was later revealed | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
she was suffering from pneumonia. First campaign stop, | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
Greensboro, North Carolina. And to the strains of I Feel Good, | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
she took to the stage. I have to say it's great to be back | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
on the campaign trail! I recently had a cough that turned | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
out to be pneumonia! I tried to power through it but even | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
I had to admit a few days Her supporters, it seemed, | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
couldn't have been less The only thing I worry about, | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
she may have been working too hard! Are you concerned about | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
her health? I think she's a great example | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
for all women, especially young women who want to get | :22:03. | :22:15. | |
into politics like me. Women push through and | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
work through sickness. Today, Donald Trump's physician | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
released a letter with some of his medical history, | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
and most recent test results. And last night in Ohio, | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
he appeared magnanimous In all fairness, she's lying in bed | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
getting better and we want her better, we want | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
her back on the trail. But as you might expect, | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
limits to that magnanimity... You think Hillary would be | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
able to stand up here Hillary Clinton has not been | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
on stage for an hour but she's come through this unscathed, | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
54 days till polling and next stop - The person with all the momentum | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
at the moment is Donald Trump. The UN has made a fresh | :23:10. | :23:25. | |
appeal to President Assad, to allow aid convoys | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
into the northern city of Aleppo, where nearly 300,000 people are said | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
to be in desperate need. Many more have fled the fighting | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
there, which has been going on for four years, | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
and among them, 15-year-old Nujeen Mustafa in a wheelchair, | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
made the perilous journey to Europe. Our special correspondent, | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
Fergal Keane met her exactly a year ago, at a border | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
crossing in Hungary. She's now settled in Germany, | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
and he's been back to meet her. 2000 miles from Aleppo and the war, | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
Nujeen Mustafa has a new life. On her way to school, | :23:56. | :24:05. | |
speaking fluent German, This is Nujeen a year | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
after arriving on European shores. It was a journey made by thousands, | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
but for a girl in a wheelchair, You should fight to get | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
what you want in this world so, yes, Age 16 she taught herself English | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
by watching soap operas I would love to be in | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
astronaut and go out and see Nujeen's journey has crossed | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
the borders of nations As I said, I am | :24:43. | :24:52. | |
stronger than I look. The new Nujeen is just | :24:53. | :25:04. | |
like any other person. She wakes up early, | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
she goes to school, she is a hard-working pupil, | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
I hope. But this is not a story | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
with an uncomplicated happy ending. Resentment of migration | :25:21. | :25:38. | |
is growing in Germany. In Cologne, young migrant men | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
were blamed for a wave of With over a million migrants | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
and refugees arriving in the last year, the far right | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
has gained politically. It would refuse entry | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
to people like Nujeen. The refugee policies | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
of Angela Merkel were wrong I would have catered for let's say | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
Syrians in the region, in Lebanon, That would have been cheaper | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
and you would have been able But like many Syrians, | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
Nujeen longs for home. Here she is in Aleppo | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
before the war. She wanted to send | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
a message to Syria. And don't worry, you are just | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
really, really sick. But I am sure you are going to get | :26:27. | :26:37. | |
better, and when you do, Fergal Keane, BBC News, | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
Cologne. The BBC is being asked to name | :26:42. | :26:56. | |
all its presenters and staff, It's part of the renewal | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
of the corporation's Royal Charter, the document which sets out how it | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
should be run, Our home editor Mark Easton's report | :27:06. | :27:07. | |
contains some flashing images. Fascination with celebrities, | :27:08. | :27:16. | |
what people earn and demand for accountability have | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
combined to open the seal There are top names | :27:20. | :27:21. | |
like Gary Lineker, chat show host Graham Norton, | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
and Strictly stars like to pocket hundreds | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
of thousands year. But now, after a change | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
of government thinking, scores of journalists and presenters | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
will have their salaries published. Theresa May, who has long | :27:39. | :27:48. | |
had a reputation for transparency in public life, | :27:49. | :27:50. | |
is insisting that everyone at the BBC who earns more | :27:51. | :27:52. | |
than ?150,000 a year The new government says the public | :27:53. | :27:54. | |
has a right to know. My concern is that these | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
proposals won't help. They are not in the best interests | :28:00. | :28:01. | |
of our audiences. We operate in a highly competitive | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
market as was reinforced this week, Programmes like the Great British | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
Bake Off, just acquired by Channel 4 which outbid the BBC, | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
will be even more difficult for the Corporation to hold | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
onto, it is suggested. The Government though | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
says the new charter The BBC is one of this country's | :28:22. | :28:23. | |
greatest achievements These reforms ensure it | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
will continue to be cherished at home and abroad for many | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
years to come. The licence fee, part of British | :28:35. | :28:41. | |
life since the 1920s, will now The biggest change is to the way | :28:42. | :28:45. | |
the BBC is governed. The independent BBC Trust | :28:46. | :28:53. | |
is abolished, and replaced by a new BBC unitary | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
board of 14 people - five including the chair, | :28:57. | :28:59. | |
appointed by the Government. Five independent appointees | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
and four BBC executives. The government don't want to be seen | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
to be running the BBC, in control of the media, | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
but they do want their hands around the BBC's neck every now and again, | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
just because they can't resist it. There may be anxieties | :29:15. | :29:17. | |
about independence and salaries, but many in broadcasting | :29:18. | :29:19. | |
and would probably agree that the new charter is largely | :29:20. | :29:21. | |
a BBC continuity announcement. Mark Easton, BBC News, | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
Broadcasting House. It's been another triumphant day | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
for Britain's Paralympians in Rio, with golds for canoeists | :29:31. | :29:32. | |
Jeanette Chippington, There was also victory in equestrian | :29:33. | :29:35. | |
events, as British athletes passed With all of today's action, | :29:36. | :29:41. | |
here's our sports correspondent Proof that the best things really do | :29:42. | :30:00. | |
come to those who wait. 20 years ago, Jeanette Chippington was | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
winning Paralympic gold as a swimmer before she retired and became an | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
instructor. Now in her 40s, a comeback as a canoeist produced a | :30:09. | :30:16. | |
result. Afterwards she admitted she'd | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
never set out to achieve I said right from the start, I don't | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
want to get into elite sport again. Before I knew it, I was training | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
twice a day, every day. Four years later, here I am | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
with a gold medal. For the British fans at the lake, | :30:32. | :30:33. | |
it was the start of a magical hour. Next, victory for an | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
ecstatic Emma Wiggs. Before Anne Dickins completed | :30:38. | :30:38. | |
a golden hat-trick. Dickins was a volunteer | :30:39. | :30:40. | |
at London 2012. At the dressage, another | :30:41. | :31:01. | |
celebration. Sophie Christiansen who has cerebral palsy won gold with a | :31:02. | :31:08. | |
flawless display. And 67-year-old and done, Britain's oldest | :31:09. | :31:12. | |
competitor took silver. There was also gold for Natasha Baker, | :31:13. | :31:18. | |
performing for the final time on Cabral, the horse she calls her soul | :31:19. | :31:27. | |
mate. It was highly emotional. Elsewhere, in the doubles final of | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
the wheelchair tennis, Gordon Reed and Alfie Hewett are battling for | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
gold, but they will have to do it the hard way, after losing the first | :31:36. | :31:41. | |
set. Yes, that tennis final is still going on, but that has been | :31:42. | :31:44. | |
disappointment in the athletics for wheelchair racer David Weir. He | :31:45. | :31:51. | |
could only finish sixth in the 800 metres and afterwards he announced | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
that he will retire after the London Marathon next year, Clive. | :31:56. | :31:56. | |
