:00:07. > :00:08.Tonight at Ten, change is going to come.

:00:09. > :00:11.That's the Prime Minister's promise following the referendum result.

:00:12. > :00:13.She tells the Conservative Conference that she'll use

:00:14. > :00:16.the powers of the state to change things for the benefit

:00:17. > :00:23.Change has got to come too because of the quiet revolution that

:00:24. > :00:27.took place in our country just three months ago.

:00:28. > :00:32.A revolution in which millions of our fellow citizens stood up

:00:33. > :00:38.and said they were not prepared to be ignored anymore.

:00:39. > :00:41.She spoke of fairness and warned some big companies that paying tax

:00:42. > :00:47.I'm putting you on warning, this can't go on anymore.

:00:48. > :00:55.A change has got to come and this party is going to make it.

:00:56. > :01:06.We'll have more on the changes Mrs May wants to make and we'll be

:01:07. > :01:08.asking business people if they liked the message.

:01:09. > :01:10.The undercover tabloid reporter Mazher Mahmood -

:01:11. > :01:15.is facing jail after being found guilty of tampering with evidence.

:01:16. > :01:17.In Haiti, bridges destroyed, communications down as they assess

:01:19. > :01:21.Nigel Farage back in charge of Ukip for the time being -

:01:22. > :01:27.just 18 days after handing over to Diane James, who's now resigned.

:02:07. > :02:11.The vote to leave the European Union was a once-in-a-generation chance to

:02:12. > :02:16.That was the Prime Minister's message to the Conservative

:02:17. > :02:19.Conference today - where she described the referendum

:02:20. > :02:21.result as a quiet revolution and promised to address the needs

:02:22. > :02:23.of ordinary working-class people with policies based

:02:24. > :02:29.And, in stark contrast to some of her predecessors,

:02:30. > :02:32.Theresa May commended the role of the state in improving

:02:33. > :02:35.This report tonight by our political editor Laura Kuenssberg contains

:02:36. > :02:40.Take your seats, the new Prime Minister's big

:02:41. > :02:52.They were ready to listen - but Theresa May wanted you to as well.

:02:53. > :02:58.MUSIC: "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones.

:02:59. > :03:01.It was quiet resolve that propelled her on to the main stage

:03:02. > :03:08.What's my vision for Britain, my philosophy?

:03:09. > :03:22.In June, people voted for change and a change is going to come.

:03:23. > :03:24.Because of the quiet revolution that took place in our country,

:03:25. > :03:31.A revolution in which millions of our fellow citizens stood up

:03:32. > :03:38.and said, they were not prepared to be ignored any more.

:03:39. > :03:44.Easy to say - much, much harder to make it happen.

:03:45. > :03:48.I want us to be a country where it doesn't matter where you were born,

:03:49. > :03:53.who your parents are, where you went to school,

:03:54. > :03:55.what your accent sounds like, what God you worship,

:03:56. > :03:58.whether you are a man or woman, gay or straight, black or white.

:03:59. > :04:01.All that should matter is the talent you have and how hard

:04:02. > :04:11.Three months ago it might not have been her.

:04:12. > :04:14.Now firmly in charge, Theresa May wants to take her party

:04:15. > :04:19.It's time to remember the good that government can do.

:04:20. > :04:23.Time to reject the ideological template provided by the socialist

:04:24. > :04:26.left and the libertarian right, and to embrace a new centre

:04:27. > :04:28.ground in which government steps up and not back,

:04:29. > :04:38.A Tory Prime Minister applauded for praising the state.

:04:39. > :04:41.Then using her famous challenge to her own party to go

:04:42. > :04:47.The Labour Party is not just divided, but divisive.

:04:48. > :04:50.Fighting among themselves, abusing their own MPs,

:04:51. > :04:57.Tolerating anti-Semitism and supporting voices of hate.

:04:58. > :05:10.It was a speech about her basic beliefs,

:05:11. > :05:16.But, above all, it was a self-portrait of the

:05:17. > :05:23.As I leave the door of my office at Number Ten, I pass

:05:24. > :05:32.The portraits of Prime Ministers past, lined up along the wall.

:05:33. > :05:44.Those portraits remind me of the good that government can do.

:05:45. > :05:48.And as I pass them every day, I remember that our nation has been

:05:49. > :05:53.shaped by those who stepped up to be counted when the big moments came.

:05:54. > :06:02.Such opportunities are rare, but we face such a moment today.

:06:03. > :06:06.So, to everyone here this morning, and the millions beyond,

:06:07. > :06:09.whether leavers or remain, I say come with me and we will write

:06:10. > :06:15.Come with me and we'll make that change.

:06:16. > :06:19.Come with me as we rise to meet this moment.

:06:20. > :06:23.Come with me and, together, let's seize the day.

:06:24. > :06:32.The Prime Minister nearly overwhelmed by the meaning

:06:33. > :06:42.But political success is determined over years,

:06:43. > :06:50.Theresa May's offer to you - do the right thing and

:06:51. > :06:57.She wants to scoop up voters in the middle as Labour has moved

:06:58. > :07:02.But, ultimately, she will be judged by what she does,

:07:03. > :07:09.Secretaries of State, what did you make of the speech?

:07:10. > :07:17.Very good speech, reminds me of Margaret Thatcher's speeches.

:07:18. > :07:19.Bringing this hall to its feet, the Tory party together,

:07:20. > :07:23.Persuading you, the country, to follow her now is a very

:07:24. > :07:31.Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Birmingham.

:07:32. > :07:34.Theresa May's declaration that a change is going to come also

:07:35. > :07:36.applied to the world of business and industry.

:07:37. > :07:39.The Prime Minister sent a message to those global companies which,

:07:40. > :07:42.in her words, treated tax laws as an optional extra.

:07:43. > :07:44.And she drew attention to expensive energy tariffs -

:07:45. > :07:46.saying her government would be prepared to intervene

:07:47. > :07:51.Our business editor Simon Jack has been asking business

:07:52. > :07:56.people what they made of the Prime Minister's message.

:07:57. > :08:02.The way a small number of businesses behave fuels

:08:03. > :08:09.I'm putting you on warning, this can't go on any more.

:08:10. > :08:12.The tone was stern, the finger was wagging and the rap

:08:13. > :08:16.Massive pay inequality, staff neglected by some employers,

:08:17. > :08:21.tax avoided, assets stripped from struggling companies,

:08:22. > :08:24.markets like energy failing consumers and a tendency to turn too

:08:25. > :08:31.Responses to a Tory Party Conference speech were not what you

:08:32. > :08:39.I don't think they want a situation where Government is dictating

:08:40. > :08:42.to them, they want a situation where we are working together very

:08:43. > :08:44.closely to tackle the big transition that we face

:08:45. > :08:49.It would be a sad day if having a global workforce suddenly became

:08:50. > :08:54.It's great that we can get skills from here at home

:08:55. > :08:58.Too often, said the Prime Minister, the fruits of business success

:08:59. > :09:03.Companies are being run more in the interests of the owners

:09:04. > :09:07.The answer, according to Theresa May, is to put

:09:08. > :09:17.We welcome the commitment to putting workers on boards,

:09:18. > :09:20.and it would do a lot to help restore the trust and reputation

:09:21. > :09:26.It will also introduce a good dose of common sense into the boardroom.

:09:27. > :09:30.We know that where companies do have workers on boards, they're more

:09:31. > :09:35.likely to invest in R, in training for workers.

:09:36. > :09:39.It's been a topsy-turvy four days of Conference.

:09:40. > :09:41.Businesses like this one in the East Midlands have also seen

:09:42. > :09:44.the pound fall to its lowest level in 30 years as markets reacted

:09:45. > :09:50.to strong signals that border control is incompatible

:09:51. > :09:52.with and more important than single market membership.

:09:53. > :09:56.Volatility that makes business even more difficult.

:09:57. > :09:59.A lot of our import costs come in dollar or euro denominated

:10:00. > :10:03.currencies, so it's a huge increase in some of our import costs.

:10:04. > :10:05.Equally, we're looking to benefit in our exports.

:10:06. > :10:10.It's not comfortable, it's very difficult to forecast

:10:11. > :10:14.and at the moment we feel as though we're walking on a knife edge.

:10:15. > :10:17.Today's message to business was clear - we are on your side,

:10:18. > :10:23.And the biggest question of all - how will Brexit affect trade,

:10:24. > :10:25.employment and the currency - remains unclear.

:10:26. > :10:32.Underpinning Mrs May's conference speech was her determination

:10:33. > :10:35.to redefine the centre ground of politics, based

:10:36. > :10:38.on her understanding of the needs and attitudes

:10:39. > :10:42.So to what extent did the Prime Minister's message

:10:43. > :10:46.Our home editor, Mark Easton, went to Hastings, in

:10:47. > :10:54.The tide is turning, the Prime Minister talks of a once

:10:55. > :10:56.in a generation chance to change the direction of our nation,

:10:57. > :10:59.not to respond, she says, will cause division and disaster

:11:00. > :11:08.Brexit exposes an ancient faultline in British society that cuts

:11:09. > :11:12.across party politics, the disillusion of the left

:11:13. > :11:15.and the traditionalists of the right found common cause.

:11:16. > :11:18.Now Mrs May wants to appeal to both and occupy the centre ground,

:11:19. > :11:22.but where post-Brexit is the centre ground?

:11:23. > :11:37.Hastings has a Tory MP and a Labour council. The area voted decisively

:11:38. > :11:40.to leave the EU and there is a widespread view, as Theresa May

:11:41. > :11:44.suggested today, that London, the road, does not understand the

:11:45. > :11:48.concerns of non-metropolitan Britain. I wish politicians would

:11:49. > :11:53.get their heads together and really come up with something for the

:11:54. > :11:58.people. Not for themselves. You do not think they are listening to you?

:11:59. > :12:02.I don't think so. They never listen to us, to be honest. That is the way

:12:03. > :12:08.a lot of people feel. The rest of the country is by the by. I know,

:12:09. > :12:14.because I work in London and I live in Hastings. The people of Hastings

:12:15. > :12:17.have so little say. Brexit was a cry of pain, for millions who do not

:12:18. > :12:20.think the system works for them. Too many people in positions of power,

:12:21. > :12:23.the Prime Minister conceded, think they have more in common with the

:12:24. > :12:30.international elite than the people down the road. There is a quiet

:12:31. > :12:37.revolution going on, Theresa May suggested. Knock on doors and you

:12:38. > :12:41.will find its roots. So, we did. Quiet revolution, yes. I don't think

:12:42. > :12:47.there aren't that many people that are geared up to either really

:12:48. > :12:52.oppose what is happening or what has happened with the vote, or really

:12:53. > :12:58.geared up to push things forward as fast as possible. Ukip RNA mess.

:12:59. > :13:04.Labour is in a mess. She is the only person that is getting on doing

:13:05. > :13:06.something. I quite like her. Rio the majority that did vote were

:13:07. > :13:13.seriously misled by members of her Cabinet. If there is a revolution,

:13:14. > :13:18.it is against her? That is one I would support quietly, from behind

:13:19. > :13:23.my door. Conventional party politics is at sea. Theresa May is trying to

:13:24. > :13:25.offer safe passage, while trimming her sales as the wind changes

:13:26. > :13:27.direction. The tide is indeed turning.

:13:28. > :13:31.Let's turn to the day's other main stories.

:13:32. > :13:33.An undercover tabloid journalist, whose investigations led to a series

:13:34. > :13:35.of exclusives on the private lives of celebrities,

:13:36. > :13:37.has been found guilty of conspiring to pervert

:13:38. > :13:44.Mazher Mahmood - also known as the Fake Sheikh -

:13:45. > :13:46.tampered with evidence in the drugs trial of the singer,

:13:47. > :13:51.Lawyers say the convictions could have major repercussions

:13:52. > :13:52.for other cases, as our correspondent,

:13:53. > :14:01.The man in the anorak, hiding his face, is Mazher

:14:02. > :14:06.The master of the undercover tabloid sting.

:14:07. > :14:09.He dressed as an Arab sheikh and set up dozens of elaborate deceptions

:14:10. > :14:17.His story on the singer Tulisa led to her going

:14:18. > :14:25.As far as I was concerned, in my mind, I was like,

:14:26. > :14:28.It's pretty much, 90%, this is the end.

:14:29. > :14:31.However, the trial collapsed, Tulisa walked free, a vital piece

:14:32. > :14:37.of evidence had been concealed by Mahmood.

:14:38. > :14:40.This man, Alan Smith, Mahmood's own driver,

:14:41. > :14:44.had told police that he'd overheard Tulisa's strong disapproval

:14:45. > :14:46.of drugs in his car, but after phoning and emailing

:14:47. > :14:54.Mahmood claimed he knew nothing, even though the statement had

:14:55. > :15:03.Phones were destroyed, emails deleted.

:15:04. > :15:06.And events here today cast a new layer of doubt about many

:15:07. > :15:09.Remember, Mazher Mahmood, the Fake Sheikh, his evidence has

:15:10. > :15:11.been instrumental in convictions that go back over

:15:12. > :15:17.The actor, John Alford, was one of his victims,

:15:18. > :15:23.His is now one of six cases in the hands of the Criminal

:15:24. > :15:29.Cases Review Commission, others may follow.

:15:30. > :15:32.Mahmood helped bring charges against more than 70 people.

:15:33. > :15:35.This is going to dwarf phone-hacking in a way, because although there

:15:36. > :15:42.might be a smaller number of claims, the amount of damage that has been

:15:43. > :15:44.done to people goes back many, many years - lost income,

:15:45. > :15:49.Phone-hacking, corrupt payments, this is far from the first time

:15:50. > :15:53.that the tactics of the press have been in the spotlight.

:15:54. > :15:57.But Mazher Mahmood, the Fake Sheikh, he was the secret star and Tulisa's

:15:58. > :16:02.lawyer says police have strict controls about undercover

:16:03. > :16:05.traps, but when it comes to evidence from journalists...

:16:06. > :16:07.Sadly, that's not the case, as the recent Tulisa

:16:08. > :16:10.trial has just exposed, in the case of

:16:11. > :16:13.They are, in effect, a law unto themselves.

:16:14. > :16:18.You're guilty of lying to secure a scoop, what do you say to that?

:16:19. > :16:21.His employer for the Sun on Sunday said it was disappointed

:16:22. > :16:24.A man who spent 25 years hiding his identity has

:16:25. > :16:27.himself now been exposed - a liar, a convicted criminal.

:16:28. > :16:36.Rescue teams in Haiti are still trying to assess the full

:16:37. > :16:39.extent of the damage caused by Hurricane Matthew which swept

:16:40. > :16:45.across the island with winds of 125 miles an hour.

:16:46. > :16:47.The hurricane, now heading towards the USA, caused

:16:48. > :16:50.Hospitals have no more beds and at least 10,000

:16:51. > :16:53.From the capital Port-au-Prince our correspondent,

:16:54. > :17:07.Disaster must often seem like a way of life for the hard pressed people

:17:08. > :17:11.of Haiti. This morning victims of Hurricane Matthew were trying to

:17:12. > :17:16.make this treacherous river crossing by foot. A journey that on Monday

:17:17. > :17:20.they could make by car. The bridge linking the main road from the

:17:21. > :17:24.capital to the worst affected communities in the south of this

:17:25. > :17:29.country has been washed away. It's severed this town in half and

:17:30. > :17:35.severely hampered the relief effort. Homes have been swamped by the

:17:36. > :17:41.deluge of rain and destroyed by 140 mile an hour wind. This shanty

:17:42. > :17:45.dwelling only just managed to survive the hurricane force winds,

:17:46. > :17:51.but here, just a few yards away, in what now looks like wasteland, the

:17:52. > :17:55.homes of four families were washed away as the floodwaters rushed down

:17:56. > :18:00.the valley. These are the people made homeless. These are the

:18:01. > :18:04.children whose futures seem to be continually plighted by tragedy. The

:18:05. > :18:09.epicentre of the 2010 earthquake was a short drive away. So it's not just

:18:10. > :18:19.sorrow they're feeling, but a sense of unfairness. , "the children have

:18:20. > :18:24.just started school and their new uniforms were washed away." These

:18:25. > :18:29.children were evacuated from coastal communities before the storm hit and

:18:30. > :18:33.given shelter in the capital. Now, they're stranded. They don't know

:18:34. > :18:38.when they'll be able to get home or what they'll find when they get

:18:39. > :18:41.there. With the storm barrelling towards America, a first world

:18:42. > :18:47.emergency is in the making, but here Hurricane Matthew has left a trail

:18:48. > :18:51.of Third World destruction and this impoverished country is struggling

:18:52. > :19:09.to cope. Nick Bryant, BBC News, Haiti.

:19:10. > :19:16.For the second time in as many days, British science has been recognised

:19:17. > :19:20.in the Nobel awards. The world's smallest machines, 1,000

:19:21. > :19:22.times thinner than a human hair, are poised to revolutionise

:19:23. > :19:25.healthcare and create new materials. One of the scientists who's

:19:26. > :19:27.developed this molecular technology is Sir Fraser Stoddart,

:19:28. > :19:29.a Scottish researcher who's He and his team have won

:19:30. > :19:32.the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. In welcoming the award,

:19:33. > :19:35.Sir Fraser also said he feared for the future of British science

:19:36. > :19:38.research following the Brexit vote. Our science editor,

:19:39. > :19:39.David Shukman, reports. From the immense size

:19:40. > :19:41.of space rockets... ..to the giantic dimensions

:19:42. > :19:43.of heavy industry, to the Large Hadron Collider

:19:44. > :19:46.in Geneva, we often think of machines as being vast,

:19:47. > :19:48.but this is only one end And from a drone that

:19:49. > :19:51.fits into your hand, to one the size of a tiny coin,

:19:52. > :19:54.researchers are pushing the boundaries of how small

:19:55. > :19:56.they can make machines, even building them

:19:57. > :19:58.molecule by molecule. This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry

:19:59. > :20:00.is about the world's There were three winners,

:20:01. > :20:05.one of them, Sir Fraser Stoddart, who was born in Scotland and now

:20:06. > :20:11.works in Illinois. Very surprised and elated

:20:12. > :20:20.because of my strong support that I've had from a large number

:20:21. > :20:24.of young scientists over the best It takes some imagination to grasp

:20:25. > :20:30.what this Nobel Prize for Chemistry is all about,

:20:31. > :20:35.and the key thing is scale. So picture a typical human hair,

:20:36. > :20:37.it's pretty narrow, but then visualise zooming past its surface

:20:38. > :20:43.and right into its structure, drilling down to the very

:20:44. > :20:45.molecules that it's made of, 1,000 times thinner than that hair

:20:46. > :20:52.and it's in that incredibly small world that the three Nobel Prize

:20:53. > :20:55.winners have been assembling tiny machines, like this car,

:20:56. > :21:01.built from individual molecules. One idea is for miniature machines

:21:02. > :21:04.to travel inside the body delivering drugs to the right places

:21:05. > :21:06.or using the machines Imagine that you could actually

:21:07. > :21:11.transport things across the surface So it might be possible to transport

:21:12. > :21:20.this bottle, over here, just So all these things that sound

:21:21. > :21:25.like a Harry Potter film But Sir Fraser Stoddart used his big

:21:26. > :21:32.day to warn that British science If I look back to my old country,

:21:33. > :21:38.it's in a real mess because it thinks that it can raise borders

:21:39. > :21:43.to people coming into it. He said that labs here would lose

:21:44. > :21:47.out without access to the best A stark warning at a proud moment

:21:48. > :21:50.for some startling science. A 41-year-old man has appeared

:21:51. > :22:04.in court charged with drugging and murdering four young

:22:05. > :22:06.men that he met on gay Stephen Port, from Barking

:22:07. > :22:16.in East London, is accused of giving his victims drugs before
