:04:40. > :04:50.We want to ensure that business gets access to the labour that it needs,
:04:51. > :04:53.but there is also a strong worry amongst people in Britain that

:05:22. > :05:30.Now it's glass half full or glass half empty.
:05:31. > :05:33.Clearly that has meant there is higher inflation, and that has
:05:34. > :05:34.had a knock-on effect for real incomes.
:05:35. > :05:37.But on the other hand, there has been a much-needed boost
:05:38. > :05:40.We really did need that boost because the currency

:06:07. > :06:14.John, thoughts first of all on this contribution by Philip Hammond and
:06:15. > :06:18.what it signifies? It was an assertion of new-found and in some
:06:19. > :06:21.ways unexpected authority. Philip Hammond did not contradict the
:06:22. > :06:26.government line but he did take on the hardline view of some Brexiteers
:06:27. > :06:31.in the party and the Cabinet. He set out his own vision for, for example,
:06:32. > :06:35.a transition period on the way to Brexit, long enough to satisfy
:06:36. > :06:38.business that has been shielded from the impact. That included long
:06:39. > :06:43.enough to deal with migration numbers. So no rush to cut migration
:06:44. > :06:48.onto British workers have the skills necessary to fill the jobs that
:06:49. > :06:51.bring in migrant workers. We have seen how Phil Hammond, a man who
:06:52. > :06:56.might have been sacked had Theresa May got the result she hoped for,
:06:57. > :07:00.instead he is a powerful player. As for Brexit, the outcome of that
:07:01. > :07:04.story, nobody can really say. Here we are on the eve of the Queens
:07:05. > :07:11.speech were the government is God is set out its latest is the plans,
:07:12. > :07:15.what should people look out for a? A government programme which will be
:07:16. > :07:18.shorn of anything likely to lead to on timely embarrassing government
:07:19. > :07:21.defeat. Instead we will see a government programme with a positive
:07:22. > :07:26.view of Brexit running through it like the lettering through a stick
:07:27. > :07:30.of rock. They will be a measure to bring back to Britain lawmaking
:07:31. > :07:35.powers. Measures on the economy, security, fairness. In other words,
:07:36. > :07:40.the kind of positive vision that a lot of Tories which is now they had
:07:41. > :07:43.to spread during the election campaign and that might have led to
:07:44. > :07:46.a more positive result. We will never know if they are right about
:07:47. > :07:50.that. But they are having to live with the result of a poor campaign.
:07:51. > :07:52.Relative weakness and great uncertainty at a time of great
:07:53. > :07:55.national chains. John Pienaar there. Police are still questioning a man
:07:56. > :07:58.in connection with the attack on Muslim worshippers
:07:59. > :08:00.in North London. Darren Osborne, who's
:08:01. > :08:03.47 and from Cardiff, was arrested on suspicion
:08:04. > :08:06.of terrorism offences. Nine people were taken to hospital,
:08:07. > :08:09.and one man, who had been taken ill before the attack,
:08:10. > :08:11.died at the scene. The attack has led to renewed calls
:08:12. > :08:15.for the government to review changes to police funding,
:08:16. > :08:30.as our Home Affairs Correspondent, You have to lift the ban. The chaos
:08:31. > :08:35.caused by the attack on Sunday night was captured in these dramatic new
:08:36. > :08:40.pictures. A hired van had ploughed into a group of people marking the
:08:41. > :08:47.holy Muslim month of Ramadan. Nine ended up in hospital and one man
:08:48. > :08:51.died. Amongst the crowd were Abdullah and his 13-year-old son.
:08:52. > :08:59.Today they were recovering at home in their garden. Because it he has
:09:00. > :09:09.little English, his son spoke for both of them. I saw and angry driver
:09:10. > :09:18.in the van, in a company van. He looked at the Muslims. He drove
:09:19. > :09:27.through and hit seven or eight people. One was underneath a van. My
:09:28. > :09:34.dad got hit on his shoulder and next to his legs the hired van ran over
:09:35. > :09:39.this man's foot and ankle, breaking them both. He was allowed home from
:09:40. > :09:47.hospital today. Andy told me he had been trying to help the man who died
:09:48. > :09:52.when he was hit. I fall down. And I see the guy bleeding on the head.
:09:53. > :10:00.Another guy lying next to me unconscious. So I stood up to try to
:10:01. > :10:08.help those guys. When I stand, I fall down. The other guys came to me
:10:09. > :10:17.and said, the guy is going to strike again. This was a cold, calculated
:10:18. > :10:22.cruelty to cause chaos and to divide communities. Witnesses have told us
:10:23. > :10:25.the van came down the road at speed, turning into this cul-de-sac and
:10:26. > :10:32.knocking down the worshippers as it came through. It then came to a rest
:10:33. > :10:37.between those two bollards. Bob Ballard that it hit has been moved.
:10:38. > :10:43.When it came to a stop, a young man was trapped underneath the van. He
:10:44. > :10:47.has survived. The suspected driver, Darren Osborne from Cardiff, is
:10:48. > :10:51.being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorist
:10:52. > :10:54.offences. When he was grabbed by bystanders at the scene, the local
:10:55. > :10:59.imam intervened, explaining today why he wanted to deliver the suspect
:11:00. > :11:09.safely to the police. Add anything happened to him, then extra
:11:10. > :11:16.bloodshed does not deliver justice. To the families. And it provides no
:11:17. > :11:20.answers. As the horror of Sunday night sinks in, there are
:11:21. > :11:24.suggestions the government may be rethinking changes to police funding
:11:25. > :11:30.that would affect the larger forces like London's Metropolitan Police.
:11:31. > :11:32.We are stretched. And I am talking with the mayor and I'm talking with
:11:33. > :11:39.the government about the resources that we need to get, I believe, in
:11:40. > :11:43.the future. After three months of terror, the government's approach

:13:11. > :13:14.quickly, opened fire on an individual they believed to have

:23:45. > :23:51.all the people of Hong Kong Well, I don't think
:23:52. > :23:55.it is a question of a number. I know perception is important,
:23:56. > :24:04.but to say that I am just a puppet, I won this election
:24:05. > :24:09.because of pro-Beijing forces is, sort of, a failure to acknowledge

:24:49. > :24:50.an inseparable part You think so, what if other
:24:51. > :24:58.Hong Kong citizens disagree? What if they wanted
:24:59. > :25:01.to call for independence? They disagree in the form
:25:02. > :25:04.of being an expression of personal opinion,
:25:05. > :25:06.then everybody could have a view. But whether that expressing a view
:25:07. > :25:13.constitutes an offence, then we'll have to look

:25:16. > :25:19.at what the law says. Can you promise the people
:25:20. > :25:22.of Hong Kong that never in your tenure will someone go
:25:23. > :25:24.to jail for calling for autonomy, Well, I can promise the people
:25:25. > :25:31.of Hong Kong that we will abide So that's a no, you can't
:25:32. > :25:35.make the promise? How can you promise when you don't
:25:36. > :25:42.know the actual situation, when you don't know the actual
:25:43. > :25:45.legislation in Hong Kong and to give a, sort of,
:25:46. > :25:48.perpetual situation answer, I don't think that is a very
:25:49. > :25:53.fair question to ask. China's influence in

:26:10. > :26:14.to Hong Kong, most have stayed The Hong Kong police force have been
:26:15. > :26:21.working on this case and trying to collect evidence and come
:26:22. > :26:24.to a view. But unfortunately,
:26:25. > :26:26.without the co-operation of the people involved,
:26:27. > :26:28.it's just not possible. So do you think it's possible
:26:29. > :26:31.that those Hong Kong citizens are afraid to speak up
:26:32. > :26:33.about what happened to them, So how many Hong Kong citizens need
:26:34. > :26:40.to disappear before you start to draw any conclusions
:26:41. > :26:42.about what might be We are not here to quantify
:26:43. > :26:53.that sort of allegation, but if there are worries that have
:26:54. > :26:57.been undue interference into Hong Kong affairs,
:26:58. > :26:59.which should come under a high degree of autonomy, then
:27:00. > :27:02.the Chief Executive has to reflect those sentiments and speak up
:27:03. > :27:04.on behalf of the people. So would it be fair to imagine that

:27:10. > :27:12.please, make sure that no security services from the mainland operate
