Tonight at Ten, after decades of debate, a Government decision | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
to expand Heathrow Airport by building a third runway. | :00:09. | :00:20. | |
The decision is highly controversial but ministers say it's right for the | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
economy and proves that the UK is open for business. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
We believe a third runway for Heathrow is the best | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
It's going to create better connectivity to the different | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
regions of the United Kingdom and to provide the best | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
But there's strong opposition to the plans, with some ministers | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
declaring that the third runway will never happen. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
I think that Heathrow in the long-term is not in the right | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
place and I'm afraid a third runway is undeliverable. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
For the people of Harmondsworth, near Heathrow, it's what they'd been | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
dreading, but they say they'll fight the plans all the way. | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
And one Conservative MP has resigned in protest, | :01:04. | :01:04. | |
a special report with Iraqi troops on the verge of entering the city. | :01:05. | :01:18. | |
Until today, the ground I'm standing on used to be | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
part of a self-declared Islamic caliphate. | :01:21. | :01:21. | |

The winner of the 2016 Man Booker Prize for fiction is... | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
The Sellout. And for the first time an American author wins the Man | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
Booker Prize for fiction. We round up the fourth | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
round of the EFL Cup, including an all Premier League | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
clash at Anfield where Daniel Sturridge gave Liverpool | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
the lead against Spurs. After decades of debate, | :02:08. | :02:24. | |
Government approval has finally been given for a third runway | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
at London's Heathrow Airport. Ministers said the decision proved | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
that the UK was open for business. But other ministers disagreed, | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
including the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, who said | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
it was simply not deliverable. Business leaders have | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
expressed strong support, saying that construction will create | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
thousands of jobs. But, as our business editor | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
Simon Jack reports, many in communities near Heathrow | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
are determined to oppose the scheme because of concerns about noise | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
levels and air pollution. Heathrow, full to bursting, is to | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
have a controversial extension. After years of delay, | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
the Government has decided The decision we've reached | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
today is so important Not just to tackle the immediate | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
shortage of airport capacity, but to set our country on a course | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
to even greater prosperity It's estimated Heathrow expansion | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
will eventually create 77,000 new jobs by 2030 and boost | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
the economy by ?61 billion in 60 years' time, but Heathrow's biggest | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
user is worried higher fares will be That's the worry of the man who runs | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
the parent company The airport has a history | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
of inflating investment so that it We can't allow that to happen | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
going forward, so it If airport charges increase | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
and fares rise as a result of that, the economic argument for Heathrow | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
will be significantly undermined. And will the economic glow really | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
spread to the rest of the UK? Politicians and business owners | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
in Scotland are optimistic. Being able to bring more people | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
to Scotland, to Glasgow Airport, to Edinburgh Airport from Heathrow, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
it makes so much sense. It's making it easier, | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
making the journey easier. Making that itinerary planning | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
easier for travel agents as well, so that the choice | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
can become Scotland. Now a third runway here at Heathrow | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
is a long way away from being what they call 'shovel ready' - | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
political planning, legal, environmental opposition | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
is inevitable in the coming months, but in arriving at today's decision | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
they've achieved what previous And, of course, it's not | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
the only mammoth project After an initial wobble, | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
Hinkley Point got the green light, HS2 is coming fast down the track | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
and we may get some more spending in Now all those projects | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
will have their critics, but others will see it | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
as the beginning of an overdue golden age for | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
infrastructure spending. Business leaders say this | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
announcement sends an important message at a particularly | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
sensitive post-Brexit moment. This is a real game-changer | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
for the economy, not just in terms of the jobs it will create | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
in the short run, but in terms of what it says about what kind | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
of country we want to be, open to the world, outward facing, | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
a global trading nation. I think, particularly at the moment, | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
it's very important in standing for something about the kind | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
of nation we want Not all costs can be measured | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
in billions of pounds. This project has been stopped | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
in its tracks before by environmental concerns and it | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
promises to be a key rallying point Air pollution across the UK | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
is damaging the health It's known to cause over 40,000 | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
premature deaths across the UK and this is particularly serious | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
in hotspots such as can be Each of these coloured traces | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
represents a flight over It's already one of the busiest and | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
most complex airspaces in the world. The journey to build a third runway | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
will be will be every As we heard, the Government says | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
the decision proves the UK But there's intense opposition among | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
communities west of London, many represented by Conservative | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
MPs, including the Prime Minister's The Conservative MP | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
for Richmond Park, Zac Goldsmith, has resigned in protest | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
and will stand as an independent candidate in a parliamentary | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
by-election as our political editor, Morning, sir. | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
Is it Heathrow or Gatwick? By this morning, | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
there was little doubt. Even the Downing Street cat | :06:46. | :06:46. | |
would have guessed Heathrow. But after years and years and years | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
of delay, ministers were ready to plump for the third runway - | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
one of the most controversial Mr Speaker, this is a momentous | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
step for our country. The decisions taken earlier today, | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
which I shall outline But as the Education | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
Secretary's face suggests... Morning, if Heathrow is chosen | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
will you continue? ...not even the whole Cabinet backs | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
a new third runway at Heathrow. She and the Foreign Secretary will | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
be allowed to protest, politely. Are you still going to | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
oppose Heathrow, Boris? I think it very likely that it | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
will be stopped and I just remind you that this is not the first time | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
the UK Government has publicly decided in favour of a third | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
runway at Heathrow. You will recall, it was | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
the Blair Government that did A few dozen other Tories | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
will oppose the plan. There is, right now, | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
a majority for Heathrow A devastating decision, I think, | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
for the national economic interest Just what have they been | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
doing all these months, apart from worrying about splits | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
in the Cabinet, and the Foreign Secretary throwing himself | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
in front of the bulldozers? We welcome the decision | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
after what has been world leading Finally, almost ending | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
what the Chamber of Commerce called the economic illiteracy of failing | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
to make a decision. The former Tory MP Zac Goldsmith has | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
quit his party in protest. He won his seat vowing | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
to block Heathrow. He'll try to keep it | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
as an independent doing the same, The sheer complexity, | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
the legal risks, the costs, means that Heathrow expansion is not | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
going to get off the ground. Ministers want you to think | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
the decision shows Britain's open But there is a year-long | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
consultation, there are no diggers No planes on that new runway | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
for almost a decade, Despite the political | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
and practical complications, the man in charge | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
claims it will happen. We have taken a decision | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
that we believe is in the interests of the whole of the United Kingdom, | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
that will send a message to the world that Britain | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
is open for business in the post-Brexit world, | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
that will create the regional connectivity that will demonstrate | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
to the whole country that we are governing for the whole | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
country and we are not - Can you guarantee this is actually | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
going to be built? We are not going to shy away | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
from doing what is best for Britain. Yes, there'll be challenges | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
on the way, but this is a decision that's been taken | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
after a lengthy process. But can you guarantee that one | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
day our viewers might board a plane or will board a plane | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
on a new runway at Heathrow? I'm absolutely clear that's | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
what's going to happen. Interesting moves from protesters | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
today will be the least There'll likely be challenges | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
in the court from councils, green groups, maybe even | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
from rival airports. Theresa May was 11 years | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
old when the first But she may have plenty of birthdays | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
before the final plan Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
Westminster. The Government has insisted that | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
if the plan goes ahead, a ?2.6 billion compensation scheme | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
will be put in place There'd be a purchase scheme | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
for those losing their homes and people affected by noise | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
would be offered sound insulation. The expansion plans affect | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
the areas to the north Business leaders say there'd be | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
a clear economic boost but, as Elaine Dunkley reports, | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
people in the village of Harmondsworth have | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
more immediate concerns. The village of Harmondsworth has | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
been a battleground for Heathrow Today, villagers arrived to hear | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
the news they were dread - a large part of Harmondsworth | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
will be demolished to make Expansion will not be at any | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
cost to local people, Some residents fear it could be | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
the end of village life. I mean, that would be | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
the saddest thing. If they pulled my house down, | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
I just think I'll cry buckets. We've no promise of actually getting | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
anything like what we've got. I came here based on that there | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
would be no third runway. We moved here in 2010 | :11:21. | :11:31. | |
and David Cameron said in 2010 - no ifs, no buts, | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
there will be no third runway. So, I'd be surprised if I vote | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Conservative again. The Heer family own three | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
homes on this road, More than 700 homes and the village | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
primary school are due to go. Around 20 people, we are on the | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
same street. If we moved out, if we can't find | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
places like this, all together. The airport have said | :11:50. | :12:02. | |
they will offer compensation. The compensation does not matter | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
for us, the family matters for us, Over in neighbouring Hounslow some | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
small businesses are delighted We need expansion and it's good | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
for the area, more jobs, I think it's marvellous | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
news for Heathrow. I work at Heathrow and it's good | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
for, you know, the jobs round here. I understand the environment | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
is going to be affected in some way, but it's the jobs that | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
matter most, I think. And what about that environmental | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
impact? Already this school playground | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
in Hounslow has shelters to reduce As plans are drawn up, | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
today's decision is likely to have a huge effect on the next | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
generation living near Heathrow. Live to Heathrow Airport | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
and our business editor, Simon Jack. Boris Johnson was confident today | :12:54. | :13:05. | |
saying this plan was undeliverable. What is your assessment of it? Well, | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
as is the exactly the right question to ask, will this ever be built? We | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
heard the Transport Secretary there saying absolutely, but he faces very | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
stiff political xi to say from within his own party. The | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
vulnerability to this may be a legal one and whether this project can | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
make clear the environmental hurdles it has to. They've made assumptions | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
about that, that in the years to come the actual pollution from cars | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
in this area will actually go down and they're making assumptions as | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
that goes down the overall area will pass those hurdles. Some people | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
think those assumptions are optimistic. I spoke to Willie Walsh, | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
he famously told me once he never thought it would be built in his | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
lifetime. I asked him how he was feeling today, whether he thought he | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
was in good health. All I will say if this does get built after years | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
of delay, it will prove a lot of sceptics and big doubters and | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
enemies of this project very wrong. Thank you very much. | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
In Iraq, on the ninth day of the offensive | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
to retake the city of Mosul, most Iraqi government and Kurdish | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
forces are still some distance from the city. | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
But a group of special forces, advancing from the east, | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
are now only three miles from the outskirts of the city, | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
which has been a stronghold of so-called Islamic State. | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
Our special correspondent, Ian Pannell, and cameraman, | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
Fred Scott, are with the Golden Brigade, part of Iraq's | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
elite counterterrorism service, and they sent this special report. | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
For more than two years these dusty plains have been | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
Welcome to the caliphate of so-called Islamic State. | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
It's the job of elite counter-terrorism forces | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
Experience and hardened as they may be, they know it's likely | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
to be the toughest battle they've ever fought. | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
This is the largest military operation in Iraq for years. | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
An epic struggle for the future of the country. | :15:10. | :15:21. | |
The troops face IEDs and mortar strikes, as they fight ever closer | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
Mosul is ground zero for Islamic State and a fundamental | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
No surprise, both are ready to fight to the death to control it. | :15:33. | :15:52. | |
There are far more people here than the troops expected | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
So many Iraqis have known nothing other than a state of war. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Civilians have been constantly caught in the crossfire. | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
A neighbour takes his hand, promising to help. | :16:07. | :16:20. | |
But for some, the sight of men with guns on the horizon only | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
And, as civilians get out of the way, the troops fan | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
They may have overwhelming firepower, but the dangerous | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
Searching for IS, street by street, home by home. | :16:34. | :16:43. | |
This town was declared liberated days ago and yet troops | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
from the counter-terrorism force are still having to clear house | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
by house to make sure there are no remnants of Islamic State left. | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
The battle for Mosul matters to Britain and America, to the people | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
of Paris and Brussels, but, above all, this | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
The message for Daesh is that they have to leave Mosul | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
city and we will take the city, if they like that or not. | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
And, by the end of day nine of this campaign, | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
his troops were in control of all bar the last | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
Until today, the ground I'm standing on used to be part of | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
This is now the front line in the battle against IS. | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
In truth, it's gone much better and much faster | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
But this is now the front line and right down that road, | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
just three miles away, is the city limits of Mosul | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
and that's where the battle is going to be hardest fought. | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
6,000 members of the Islamic extremists wait for the combined | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
forces of Iraq to try and take over the city. | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
Today, scores of family were told to leave town for their own safety. | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
Because if this campaign's to succeed, it will have to work | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
just as hard on bringing people together as it is on winning land. | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
Ian Pannell, BBC News, outside Mosul. | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
In Calais, workers have started to dismantle the migrant camp | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
and officials say that 4,000 people have been taken to other parts | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
But there are concerns that many migrants, who'd been living | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
Some aid workers believe that they're in the surrounding area, | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
hoping to make the journey to the UK at a later date. | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
Our correspondent, Lucy Williamson, is in Calais tonight. | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
Well, another 1,600 people have been processed today, most adult who have | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
been transferred to reception centres across France. Inside the | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
Jungle demolition has begun on the empty shelters, but there's concern | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
that the problem is simply being moved elsewhere. | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
The Jungle is emptying a little more each day. | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
Empty shacks can be counted, information handed out, | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
far harder to know for sure where everyone has gone. | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
Mohamed isn't planning on leaving, even though you can clearly see | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
police vans from the water tap near his tent. | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
When police broke into my home, I still stay in the tree. | :19:15. | :19:24. | |
You're going to go into the woods here? | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
There's talk of new camps springing up around Calais even before | :19:29. | :19:38. | |
Jungle is finished, where are you going? | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
No problem, I'm going to another Jungle. | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
Aid workers estimate that perhaps 2,000 migrants have slipped away | :19:45. | :19:53. | |
to sleep rough around Calais or head towards other cities in France. | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
We've seen people before they have, kind of, escaped into the forest | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
So I think people will try and disappear, at least at first, | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
and then maybe go on to other places like Normandy and other places | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
As the first empty shelters were dismantled, social workers, | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
backed by police, went door to door encouraging residents to leave. | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
Aid workers have told us that lots of people have left this camp | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
and melted into the fields around Calais. | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
The government says thousands have got on the official buses to leave, | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
but there are still many, many people living here in | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
It's not clear how it started, but it's a reminder that, | :20:40. | :20:51. | |
as the numbers dwindle, it'll only get harder from here. | :20:52. | :20:54. | |

The Northern Ireland Executive has announced a 10-year plan | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
Ministers say the current system is at breaking point. | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
The proposals include more patients being treated in the community, | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
Opposition politicians have questioned the lack of detail | :21:11. | :21:19. | |
in the plan, which they say is not properly costed. | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
In a fortnight's time, American voters will be visiting | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
the polling stations to elect a new president. | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
But in states where there is early voting, milllions have already taken | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
part and cast their votes and there's evidence that turnout | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, is at a polling station | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
Jon, to what extent should we be reading anything into these early he | :21:36. | :21:47. | |
voting patterns? Well, so many people have voted already that the | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
parties have pretty good records of who has voted. One statistic stands | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
out here in Florida. It is that so far it's estimated that 150,000 | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Latino voters have already cast their vote. That is double at the | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
same time four years ago. That is seen as very good news for the | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
Democratic Party. That is a similar story we are hearing in Nevada, | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
Texas and Arizona and Colorado. Registered Democratic voters are way | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
up on four years. The nervousness in the Clinton camp is being replaced | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
by a confidence, but also a sense that they've got to win big if | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
they're going to counter the charges that this election is rigged. That | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
is the charge that is still being made by Donald Trump. One piece of | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
good news for him today, if not for Americans, Obama Care, health | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
insurance, went up 25%. That sort of issue plays straight into Donald | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
Trump's Agenda. Jon thank you very much. Jon Sopel there with the | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
latest at a polling station there in Florida. | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
Militants have attacked a police training college in Pakistan, | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
killing at least 60 people, another 100 were injured. | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
The attackers burst into a hostel in Quetta where hundreds | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
Both so-called Islamic State and a Taliban group have said | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
they were responsible, as our correspondent, | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
A night of horrors unfolded for the young recruits | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Three militants, wielding guns and wearing suicide bomber jackets, | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
broke in and started a bloody rampage, shooting and | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
Almost 500 police cadets and trainers were rescued | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
after a military operation that lasted several hours. | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
The local district hospital was filled with the survivors. | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
Abdulla was among those who hid in a closet as the militants picked | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
His cousin was among the dead, his were the last cries he heard. | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
TRANSLATION: We were hiding in a room. | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
My cousin shouted when he got shot in the eye, then | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
When the commandos came inside, the suicide bomber blew himself up. | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
There was a huge blast, it threw me almost 10 feet away. | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
A strange, uneasy silence outside Quetta's Police Academy, | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
This is the third time this very building has come under attack, | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
located on a road where security forces are often targeted | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
As the city once again buries its dead, questions are now | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
being raised as to how well prepared the government is to deal | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
The government admits there is a problem. | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
You have to be more vigil and agility has to be shown. | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
Having said all this, we're still all humans. | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
If there are lapses, we will take them into account. | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
We're not shifting the responsibility, | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
we're not ignoring it, we're examining it. | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
Quetta has seen many similar attacks by both separatists and various | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
Islamist militant factions over the recent years. | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
Meanwhile in the city, the people prepare, once more, | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
The vast majority of local authorities are not paying realistic | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
prices to support older and disabled people. | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
That's according to the UK Home Care Association which says | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
there's already evidence that home care providers are handing | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
back council contracts because of a lack of funds. | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
The Government insists that more money is going into providing people | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
Our social affairs correspondent, Alison Holt, has the story. | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
Kim Hassall can travel miles during her shift. | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
She covers large parts of rural south England as a care | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
worker, supporting people in their own homes. | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
According to today's report, many councils simply don't cover | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
the real costs of the time and training | :25:49. | :25:49. | |
she and others need to provide that care. | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
Hello. Hello, my love. | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
How are you? Nice to see you. | :25:54. | :25:55. | |
85-year-old Pat Carrington normally gets help with washing and dressing, | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
it means she and her 92-year-old husband can cope at home. | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
Many of the people Kim supports are council funded, often she finds | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
Some people might need an extra half an hour, just so that you can put | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
some washing on, change the bedding and change their clothes | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
It is a bit of a worry that they can't live the life | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
they used to lead before they needed care. | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
Today's UK Home Care Association report estimates it costs | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
?16.70 an hour to cover basic home care costs, | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
but on average councils pay ?14.58, more than ?2 less. | :26:37. | :26:47. | |
At the not-for-profit agency where Kim works, | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
they've already pulled out of four local authority contracts. | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
In one particular case, we were losing ?100,000 a month, | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
Just things like recruitment, it costs a fortune. | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
One month we spent ?28,000 just on recruitment advertising, | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
At the moment, 80% of the home care they provide here is for local | :27:00. | :27:11. | |
authorities, but they've decided to survive they will have to cater | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
more for people who can afford to pay for themselves. | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
Councils blame underfunding by central government | :27:20. | :27:20. | |
for the problems that care companies face. | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
If they cannot take local authority contracts and are solely relying | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
on the private sector, then that means that local | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
authorities are going to find it very difficult to support those | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
who need their help, the most vulnerable people in our society. | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
I'll help you make your bed for you, all right? | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
The Government says it's up to councils to ensure care companies | :27:44. | :27:45. | |
pay their staff properly and that it is putting significantly | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
more money into providing dignified care for people who need it. | :27:49. | :27:50. | |
At the Guildhall in the City of London, within the past hour, | :27:51. | :28:08. | |
the winner of this year's Man Booker Literary Prize | :28:09. | :28:10. | |
Paul Beatty is the first American author to win the prestigious award | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
Our arts editor, Will Gompertz, is at Guildhall with the winner. | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
Huw, this is the book, The Sellout, by Paul Beatty. It was described by | :28:19. | :28:28. | |
Amanda Foreman, "an inventive modern satire that slays sacred cows and | :28:29. | :28:37. | |
takes aims at racial and political taboos." You were crying when you | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
were awarded the prize? Yeah. I've been crying a lot about this book | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
for whatever reason. I put a lot into it. I'm deeply thankful that | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
people get something from the book. That means a lot to me. It's been | :28:52. | :28:58. | |
called a satire, it's been called a comic novel, an epic book that | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
explores America's relations with race relations. All those you | :29:05. | :29:07. | |
questioned. How would you describe your own book? Me questioning | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
myself. What I think, how I see the world. What does history mean to me. | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
What does progress mean to me. For me it's all funny because I never | :29:16. | :29:18. | |
know what anything means. It's fun to try to figure it out. You have | :29:19. | :29:23. | |
that young guy who lives in this suburb of Los Angeles who has no | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
name, who is a young black guy, his father gets killed by the police, | :29:29. | :29:35. | |
who decides to bring back slavery and segregation. Yeah. What are you | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
exploring here, what are you going after here? It doesn't sound funny | :29:41. | :29:45. | |
coming the ouf youth your mouth. Taking these things, not make fun of | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
them, make light of how we look at these things and how we see | :29:50. | :29:55. | |
ourselves currentlily and how we examine ourselves through the past. | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
The guy in the book is trying to create some silent history. A | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
history that only he knows about and only the people in his town know | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
about and, but he can't keep it a secret, I think. He ends up in front | :30:07. | :30:10. | |
of the state prosecutor, of course. Yes. It reminds me of Richard | :30:11. | :30:22. | |
Pyrors's early comedy. There is a real anger. I don't know if it's | :30:23. | :30:28. | |
anger, so much Assadness, anger is there, I guess. I mean America is an | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
angry country, I think. It's an angry globe, I think. I don't think | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
anger is the central thing. There is a lot of frustration and irony. Like | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
this thing of... What hes a the American dream, what does it mean? | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
When you get it, then what? It's... Yeah... Yeah, there's... There's | :30:48. | :30:53. | |
just an anger. I don't know. I don't think it's an angry book. | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
I understand why people say that. You know what, I think it's a great | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
book. Thank you. Congratulations. Well done for being the first | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
American winner of the prize. Thank you. Would any of your guys know | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
what you won back home? Some will, some won't sfwlchlt we do. Thank | :31:10. | :31:15. | |
you. Thank you. Huw. Thank you very much. Congratulations to Paul | :31:16. | :31:17. | |
Beatty. You know what the West thinks | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
of Putin and his country's actions in Syria and Ukraine, | :31:21. | :31:27. | |
we're looking at what the Russians think and what they're being told, | :31:28. | :31:29. | |
and it makes interesting viewing. Join me now on BBC Two, | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
