:02:01. > :02:02.There were nerves around Westminster about the huge cost,
:02:03. > :02:04.security and the environment, but Chinese involvement
:02:05. > :02:06.in new nuclear projects was applauded at the top.
:02:07. > :02:09.But with a change of the boss, a change of heart, and to Chinese
:02:10. > :02:17.fury, one of Theresa May's first acts was to delay the decision
:02:18. > :02:25.Mr Speaker, the Government created a commercial crisis,
:02:26. > :02:27.they sent shock waves through the industry and unions
:02:28. > :02:30.alike, they risked a diplomatic dispute with one of our key future
:02:31. > :02:33.trading partners, and in the end all they have done is pretend
:02:34. > :02:39.to give themselves powers which they already possessed.
:02:40. > :02:43.Ministers say there will be an important new framework to check
:02:44. > :02:46.up on all big projects - the hope Hinkley will help keep
:02:47. > :02:48.the lights on at Big Ben and everywhere else.

:02:53. > :03:00.When Theresa May moved into Number Ten, the National Security Council
:03:01. > :03:05.had already reviewed the deal, the terms had already been agreed.
:03:06. > :03:08.Those close at that stage tell me there is no fundamental difference
:03:09. > :03:14.But imagine she had gone ahead straightaway.
:03:15. > :03:16.The brand-new Prime Minister would have been waving through one
:03:17. > :03:18.of the most controversial deals in history, barely
:03:19. > :03:35.There is no difference, and one has to wonder that Britain's

:04:05. > :04:07.Off the drawing board and into reality.
:04:08. > :04:09.Today was heralded as the renaissance of UK nuclear
:04:10. > :04:13.but in truth it's been a protracted and difficult rebirth.
:04:14. > :04:17.But one to be celebrated, according to its proud French parent.
:04:18. > :04:27.It is a great boost for the UK industry and it is a great step
:04:28. > :04:31.It is not just good news for the French builders
:04:32. > :04:34.the benefits of this project will be felt in the economy
:04:35. > :04:45.We are really pleased about the jobs which were promised,
:04:46. > :04:47.over 25,000 over its lifetime, 500 new apprentices, and,

:05:18. > :05:19.The Government clearly feels the political and economic case
:05:20. > :05:23.But does that make it, in itself, a good idea?
:05:24. > :05:26.Now if it's delivered on budget, it'll cost that figure
:05:27. > :05:29.of ?18 billion you've heard, making it the most expensive
:05:30. > :05:32.The good news is that EDF and their Chinese partners
:05:33. > :05:35.are paying that cost upfront, but only because the Government has
:05:36. > :05:38.agreed to guarantee them a price of ?92.50 per unit of that
:05:39. > :05:41.That compared to the current price of just ?43.
:05:42. > :05:43.Now, depending on the electricity prices at any one time,
:05:44. > :05:46.that equates to a subsidy of between ?10 to ?20 per household
:05:47. > :05:52.When complete, it'll contribute to 7% of the UK's total electricity
:05:53. > :05:55.needs but that is not enough to convince
:05:56. > :06:03.Well what we need to be doing now is investing in the renewables,
:06:04. > :06:06.in wind, which is already available, off-shore wind is cheaper
:06:07. > :06:19.We need to invest in solar, so people can have this
:06:20. > :06:21.on the roofs of their houses, put that together with batteries
:06:22. > :06:24.and they could be getting revenues as well as bills.
:06:25. > :06:27.But when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine
:06:28. > :06:29.you have a problem, which can lead to shortfalls like yesterday,
:06:30. > :06:32.when a sudden demand surge saw prices rocket to twice
:06:33. > :06:33.the price of electricity produced by Hinkley.
:06:34. > :06:36.The UK energy price spike has drawn attention to how narrow our supply
:06:37. > :06:40.That's the reason behind the Government's thinking
:06:41. > :06:44.If you thought Hinkley was controversial, wait
:06:45. > :06:49.China expects to be rewarded for its support of this project,
:06:50. > :06:51.with a contract to design, build and operate it's very
:06:52. > :07:03.It's thought the Chinese will submit plans to build that nuclear plant,
:07:04. > :07:07.But some have questioned whether Beijing should be able
:07:08. > :07:10.to play such a big role in a critical part of UK
:07:11. > :07:12.infrastructure, even with Government safeguards.
:07:13. > :07:18.Here's our China editor, Carrie Gracie.
:07:19. > :07:29.For China, today is less about Hinkley Point and more about Brad
:07:30. > :07:33.well. The go ahead for the Somerset plant embeds China in future UK
:07:34. > :07:36.energy plans and means that a state-owned Chinese company will be
:07:37. > :07:43.building critical national infrastructure, here in Essex. The
:07:44. > :07:48.Chinese side would say it's been a long time coming. Three years ago,
:07:49. > :07:53.an eager Chancellor was impressed by the scale and speed of China's
:07:54. > :08:00.nuclear roll-out and soon invited Beijing to invest and bid for
:08:01. > :08:05.contracts in the UK. They are going to use the deal as a stepping stone
:08:06. > :08:10.to achieve major foothold in the European market and you get into
:08:11. > :08:16.demand sectors like nuclear, it is a major success for the Chinese. China
:08:17. > :08:19.will now begin the long process of getting its nuclear reactor approved
:08:20. > :08:25.in the UK and then it'll build it here in Essex T wants Bradwell to be
:08:26. > :08:31.its nuclear showcase to the world and with this deal, the UK is
:08:32. > :08:35.forging closer ties with China, just at the moment when other major
:08:36. > :08:40.Western powers are becoming more cautious in their dealings with
:08:41. > :08:45.Beijing. The United States, for example, diplomatic niceties aside,
:08:46. > :08:50.Washington has accused the UK's new Chinese partner of stealing US
:08:51. > :08:54.nuclear technology and Australia's just rejected a Chinese extra bid on
:08:55. > :08:58.national security grounds. Britain is now committed to going much
:08:59. > :09:02.further than its Allies and neighbours, to secure Chinese
:09:03. > :09:07.investment. It brings up all kinds of questions when you are dealing
:09:08. > :09:11.with the Chinese. I know that a company here in the United States
:09:12. > :09:16.work with the Chinese and as a result every scrap of information,
:09:17. > :09:21.every iota of technical information on all of their designs went, gone,
:09:22. > :09:26.went to China. Bradwell, the symbol of mu actual
:09:27. > :09:31.trust between Beijing and London - mutual trust. They'll now want to
:09:32. > :09:36.put a bruising seven weeks behind them and get back to the language of
:09:37. > :09:42.win-win deals to come. Expect talk of a free trade deal for a
:09:43. > :09:44.post-Brexit British economy, and a Chinese role in other piece of key
:09:45. > :09:57.UK infrastructure, high speed rail. The Government took close to two
:09:58. > :10:01.months to review the deal. Was it ever really in doubt? I think it
:10:02. > :10:04.didn't feel it was inevitable when the Prime Minister slammed the
:10:05. > :10:07.brakes on at the end of July. It was a shock to a lot of people,
:10:08. > :10:10.especially after the really visible enthusiasm of the previous
:10:11. > :10:14.administration but when you talk to Theresa May's team they are deadly
:10:15. > :10:18.serious about this. They say they were quite surprised the checks and
:10:19. > :10:22.balances hadn't been more thorough on this deal, those that had been
:10:23. > :10:26.put in place. They were very clear - Theresa May was not going to be
:10:27. > :10:30.rushed, she very determinedly wanted tolike at this again and take her
:10:31. > :10:35.time over T when you look at the big picture, to back out two would been
:10:36. > :10:39.a serious two fingers up not just to the Chinese, but also to France, at
:10:40. > :10:43.a time when the UK needs friends because we are embarking on the
:10:44. > :10:47.process of leaving the EU. It would have been a real alarm for the
:10:48. > :10:49.business community from a new Government, not necessarily because
:10:50. > :10:52.there weren't alternatives but a question of trust, the deal had been
:10:53. > :10:58.agreed and politically, to tear up this part of David Cameron and
:10:59. > :11:02.George Osborne's legacy, would have been an enormous political statement
:11:03. > :11:06.for the new Prime Minister, who, afterall, sat around the same
:11:07. > :11:09.Cabinet table as them. So maybe it wasn't quite inevitable, but I do
:11:10. > :11:12.think that the Government was looking for a way it make this
:11:13. > :11:17.happen, rather than looking for a way out. OK, many thanks.
:11:18. > :11:20.The shocking impact on the health service in England, of a crisis
:11:21. > :11:23.in social care provision, has been laid bare today.
:11:24. > :11:26.New figures show a rapid rise in the numbers of people
:11:27. > :11:27.unable to leave hospital, because of problems
:11:28. > :11:33.It's costing the NHS ?820 million a year and putting
:11:34. > :11:36.hospitals under huge strain - as our social affairs correspondent
:11:37. > :11:39.found out in Liverpool and, a warning, there are some
:11:40. > :11:49.It's nine o'clock in the morning and the Royal Liverpool Hospital
:11:50. > :11:54.In accident and emergency, patients needing immediate treatment
:11:55. > :12:02.At the minute, the A department is full.
:12:03. > :12:05.Each of these red dots represent someone who has been waiting
:12:06. > :12:08.for more than four hours, breaching government targets.
:12:09. > :12:13.One patient has been here 18 hours, ready to be moved to a ward.
:12:14. > :12:15.There is no capacity, we are actually overflowing in A
:12:16. > :12:25.You must be really frustrated with that?
:12:26. > :12:31.We need to get those patients moved as soon as possible.
:12:32. > :12:33.Upstairs, senior staff are trying to free up beds
:12:34. > :12:45.for the new patients needing operations or emergency treatment.
:12:46. > :12:48.There is no trolley space in resuss and we have
:12:49. > :12:50.two patients waiting in the corridor at the moment.
:12:51. > :12:52.Have we got any patients identified who can be moved?
:12:53. > :12:58.Yes, there are about three or four, we have nowhere to move them out to.
:12:59. > :13:01.They have more than 100 patients who are ready to leave hospital,
:13:02. > :13:03.but can't because there are delays in getting home care, residential
:13:04. > :13:08.The surgery cannot start until we have identified a bed
:13:09. > :13:15.for someone to return to after theatre.

:13:19. > :13:22.He has been on the specialist stroke ward whilst waiting
:13:23. > :13:28.This was the only bed available for doctors,
:13:29. > :13:30.even though he had a fall, not a stroke.
:13:31. > :13:32.Essentially, it is a very expensive residential home bed.
:13:33. > :13:34.He isn't the problem, it is our system preventing us
:13:35. > :13:36.from discharging people appropriately, which means
:13:37. > :13:39.for the acute patients who have the need for these beds,
:13:40. > :13:47.are being delayed downstairs in the accident and emergency department.
:13:48. > :13:50.On another ward, Camille has been waiting 72 days to leave hospital,
:13:51. > :13:53.but the council is struggling to find a care provider who can support
:13:54. > :13:57.They should do more to get people back into the community.
:13:58. > :14:15.These are the pressures being felt in an increasing number of hospitals
:14:16. > :14:32.More and more cuts are expected from us...
:14:33. > :14:35.The man who runs social care in the city says
:14:36. > :14:37.they are struggling with budget cuts and staff shortages.
:14:38. > :14:40.We are seeing more people in high demand is because of their health.
:14:41. > :14:42.People are living longer which is great, we celebrate it,
:14:43. > :14:46.but we don't have the services out there to cope with the number.
:14:47. > :14:47.This sounds like a system at breaking point?
:14:48. > :14:50.Yes, and that is what keeps me awake at night.
:14:51. > :14:57.The government says it is making significantly more money available
:14:58. > :14:59.to social care to ensure affordable, dignified support.
:15:00. > :15:01.It is five o'clock and back at A at the Royal,
:15:02. > :15:04.there is no letup in patients needing help but for this time
:15:05. > :15:09.For a short period of time they had to divert ambulances
:15:10. > :15:12.They have nine people on trolleys in corridors and there
:15:13. > :15:14.are no resuscitation beds available at the moment.
:15:15. > :15:16.Upstairs in a meeting, the implications of that are clear.
:15:17. > :15:20.The emergency department is now on the highest level of alert.
:15:21. > :15:28.It means, as they head into the evening, they will begin
:15:29. > :15:36.the search for people who can be sent home safely all over again.

:16:47. > :16:48.It's predicting growth for the third quarter of this year
:16:49. > :16:54.Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed is in the City for us tonight.
:16:55. > :17:03.This seems to mark a significant change in tone on the part of the
:17:04. > :17:07.Bank of England? I think you are absolutely right. The Bank of
:17:08. > :17:11.England, a definite change of tone from the rather gloomy assessment it
:17:12. > :17:15.made post the referendum vote in August. It is responding to a whole
:17:16. > :17:22.list of new figures which really show that the impact of the vote is
:17:23. > :17:33.not as bad as expected. Employment figures are strong. Consumer
:17:34. > :17:42.confidence is up. House prices haven't collapsed. Retail sales are
:17:43. > :17:45.strong. After the vote the Bank of England cut interest rates to a
:17:46. > :17:50.record low which boosted consumer confidence. We are still in the
:17:51. > :17:55.European Union, paradoxically with a weaker currency. It is very good for
:17:56. > :18:00.exports and that is another boost for the economy. There is a degree
:18:01. > :18:11.of political stability and certainly warmer noises from the UK Government
:18:12. > :18:13.about wanting a good trade deal with the European Union. That settled
:18:14. > :18:17.some business fears. If this confidence going to continue into
:18:18. > :18:24.2017? They're the bank is much more cautious. It says there is some
:18:25. > :18:28.evidence of importation costs growing. It is keeping in its back
:18:29. > :18:34.pocket, the opportunity or the decision to reduce interest rates
:18:35. > :18:38.again if the economic data takes a turn for the worst. Thank you.

:18:42. > :18:43.for the White House, after collapsing at a 9/11 memorial
:18:44. > :18:50.The Democratic candidate told supporters that it was great to be

:18:53. > :18:54.Donald Trump, has released details of his health, as our North America
:18:55. > :18:57.editor Jon Sopel reports. Hillary Clinton is up
:18:58. > :18:59.and running again - That's big progress from last
:19:00. > :19:03.Sunday when she collapsed It was later revealed
:19:04. > :19:09.she was suffering from pneumonia. First campaign stop,
:19:10. > :19:11.Greensboro, North Carolina. And to the strains of I Feel Good,
:19:12. > :19:20.she took to the stage. I have to say it's great to be back
:19:21. > :19:28.on the campaign trail! I recently had a cough that turned
:19:29. > :19:38.out to be pneumonia! I tried to power through it but even
:19:39. > :19:41.I had to admit a few days Her supporters, it seemed,
:19:42. > :19:48.couldn't have been less The only thing I worry about,
:19:49. > :19:55.she may have been working too hard! Are you concerned about
:19:56. > :20:01.her health? I think she's a great example
:20:02. > :20:14.for all women, especially young women who want to get
:20:15. > :20:22.into politics like me. Women push through and
:20:23. > :20:24.work through sickness. Today, Donald Trump's physician
:20:25. > :20:29.released a letter with some of his medical history,
:20:30. > :20:31.and most recent test results. And last night in Ohio,
:20:32. > :20:36.he appeared magnanimous In all fairness, she's lying in bed
:20:37. > :20:42.getting better and we want her better, we want
:20:43. > :20:46.her back on the trail. But as you might expect,
:20:47. > :20:49.limits to that magnanimity... You think Hillary would be
:20:50. > :20:53.able to stand up here Hillary Clinton has not been
:20:54. > :21:04.on stage for an hour but she's come through this unscathed,
:21:05. > :21:08.54 days till polling and next stop - The person with all the momentum
:21:09. > :21:25.at the moment is Donald Trump. The UN has made a fresh

:22:42. > :22:52.the borders of nations As I said, I am
:22:53. > :23:03.stronger than I look. The new Nujeen is just
:23:04. > :23:13.like any other person. She wakes up early,
:23:14. > :23:16.she goes to school, she is a hard-working pupil,
:23:17. > :23:20.I hope. But this is not a story
:23:21. > :23:37.with an uncomplicated happy ending. Resentment of migration
:23:38. > :23:41.is growing in Germany. In Cologne, young migrant men

:23:44. > :23:50.and refugees arriving in the last year, the far right
:23:51. > :23:54.has gained politically. It would refuse entry
:23:55. > :23:57.to people like Nujeen. The refugee policies
:23:58. > :23:59.of Angela Merkel were wrong I would have catered for let's say
:24:00. > :24:05.Syrians in the region, in Lebanon, That would have been cheaper
:24:06. > :24:11.and you would have been able But like many Syrians,
:24:12. > :24:14.Nujeen longs for home. Here she is in Aleppo
:24:15. > :24:19.before the war. She wanted to send
:24:20. > :24:26.a message to Syria. And don't worry, you are just
:24:27. > :24:36.really, really sick. But I am sure you are going to get

:24:42. > :24:56.Cologne. The BBC is being asked to name
:24:57. > :24:58.all its presenters and staff, It's part of the renewal
:24:59. > :25:04.of the corporation's Royal Charter, the document which sets out how it
:25:05. > :25:07.should be run, Our home editor Mark Easton's report

:25:36. > :25:37.of government thinking, scores of journalists and presenters
:25:38. > :25:47.will have their salaries published. Theresa May, who has long
:25:48. > :25:49.had a reputation for transparency in public life,
:25:50. > :25:51.is insisting that everyone at the BBC who earns more
:25:52. > :25:54.than ?150,000 a year The new government says the public
:25:55. > :25:58.has a right to know. My concern is that these
:25:59. > :26:01.proposals won't help. They are not in the best interests
:26:02. > :26:04.of our audiences. We operate in a highly competitive
:26:05. > :26:07.market as was reinforced this week, Programmes like the Great British
:26:08. > :26:15.Bake Off, just acquired by Channel 4 which outbid the BBC,
:26:16. > :26:18.will be even more difficult for the Corporation to hold

:26:22. > :26:23.says the new charter The BBC is one of this country's
:26:24. > :26:28.greatest achievements These reforms ensure it
:26:29. > :26:34.will continue to be cherished at home and abroad for many
:26:35. > :26:40.years to come. The licence fee, part of British
:26:41. > :26:45.life since the 1920s, will now The biggest change is to the way
:26:46. > :26:53.the BBC is governed. The independent BBC Trust
:26:54. > :26:55.is abolished, and replaced by a new BBC unitary
:26:56. > :26:59.board of 14 people - five including the chair,
:27:00. > :27:02.appointed by the Government. Five independent appointees
:27:03. > :27:07.and four BBC executives. The government don't want to be seen
:27:08. > :27:10.to be running the BBC, in control of the media,
:27:11. > :27:13.but they do want their hands around the BBC's neck every now and again,
:27:14. > :27:16.just because they can't resist it. There may be anxieties
:27:17. > :27:18.about independence and salaries, but many in broadcasting
:27:19. > :27:21.and would probably agree that the new charter is largely
:27:22. > :27:24.a BBC continuity announcement. Mark Easton, BBC News,
:27:25. > :27:30.Broadcasting House. It's been another triumphant day
:27:31. > :27:32.for Britain's Paralympians in Rio, with golds for canoeists
:27:33. > :27:35.Jeanette Chippington, There was also victory in equestrian
:27:36. > :27:40.events, as British athletes passed With all of today's action,
:27:41. > :28:00.here's our sports correspondent Proof that the best things really do
:28:01. > :28:04.come to those who wait. 20 years ago, Jeanette Chippington was
:28:05. > :28:08.winning Paralympic gold as a swimmer before she retired and became an
:28:09. > :28:16.instructor. Now in her 40s, a comeback as a canoeist produced a
:28:17. > :28:19.result. Afterwards she admitted she'd
:28:20. > :28:21.never set out to achieve I said right from the start, I don't
:28:22. > :28:26.want to get into elite sport again. Before I knew it, I was training
:28:27. > :28:30.twice a day, every day. Four years later, here I am
:28:31. > :28:33.with a gold medal. For the British fans at the lake,
:28:34. > :28:36.it was the start of a magical hour. Next, victory for an
:28:37. > :28:38.ecstatic Emma Wiggs. Before Anne Dickins completed
:28:39. > :28:40.a golden hat-trick. Dickins was a volunteer
:28:41. > :29:01.at London 2012. At the dressage, another
:29:02. > :29:07.celebration. Sophie Christiansen who has cerebral palsy won gold with a
:29:08. > :29:12.flawless display. And 67-year-old and done, Britain's oldest
:29:13. > :29:18.competitor took silver. There was also gold for Natasha Baker,
:29:19. > :29:26.performing for the final time on Cabral, the horse she calls her soul
:29:27. > :29:30.mate. It was highly emotional. Elsewhere, in the doubles final of
:29:31. > :29:34.the wheelchair tennis, Gordon Reed and Alfie Hewett are battling for
:29:35. > :29:40.gold, but they will have to do it the hard way, after losing the first
:29:41. > :29:43.set. Yes, that tennis final is still going on, but that has been
:29:44. > :29:50.disappointment in the athletics for wheelchair racer David Weir. He
:29:51. > :29:54.could only finish sixth in the 800 metres and afterwards he announced
:29:55. > :29:55.that he will retire after the London Marathon next year, Clive.
:29:56. > :29:59.Thank you. And before we go, while we've
:30:00. > :30:02.been on air, the winner of the 2016 Mercury Music Price
:30:03. > :30:10.has been announced. The judges chose Konnichawa -
