:06:50. > :07:01.Our Home Editor Mark Easton is in Warrington tonight.
:07:02. > :07:06.It is entirely understandable that the persistent message from families
:07:07. > :07:13.today has been to do with the length of time that this has taken? The
:07:14. > :07:16.campaigners who came to this building in Warrington today to
:07:17. > :07:21.learn of the CPS decision have been on a very long journey. For some of
:07:22. > :07:24.them, it has preoccupied almost their entire adult lives. But
:07:25. > :07:29.actually, the Hillsborough campaign across almost 30 years has also been
:07:30. > :07:35.a factor in some significant social change. I would pick out the
:07:36. > :07:38.renaissance of the city of Liverpool itself, its reputation, its
:07:39. > :07:44.self-confidence, its economic prospects were pretty bleak in the
:07:45. > :07:47.late 1980s. Now, it's an optimistic, self-confident city with a clear
:07:48. > :07:52.voice. The other area I would pick is in the relationship between
:07:53. > :07:56.ordinary people, if you like, and the establishment. The CPS decision
:07:57. > :08:00.announced here today is a reflection of a change in the balance of power
:08:01. > :08:04.between the public and the people who have power over them, the
:08:05. > :08:09.accountability. The Hillsborough campaign has been a factor in that
:08:10. > :08:13.change. And I would say it is still having an influence right now. The
:08:14. > :08:18.political response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, almost immediately
:08:19. > :08:22.announcing a criminal inquiry and a public inquiry, is a recognition of
:08:23. > :08:28.the mistakes that were made after the Hillsborough tragedy and indeed,
:08:29. > :08:30.the dignity and resilience of the campaigners who fought long and so
:08:31. > :08:36.for justice. Mark Easton, thank you. Some senior Conservatives have
:08:37. > :08:40.suggested that the cap on pay rises in the public sector could be
:08:41. > :08:45.reviewed and that the 1% limit imposed in 2013 could change
:08:46. > :08:48.in the Budget later this year. But Downing Street says
:08:49. > :08:49.there's been no change Earlier this evening, Labour's
:08:50. > :08:55.attempt to end the cap by amending The Government won
:08:56. > :08:58.the vote with the support Our political editor
:08:59. > :09:03.Laura Kuenssberg has more details. Governing feels a bit like a work
:09:04. > :09:14.in progress right now. Mr Gauke, is it time
:09:15. > :09:22.to lift the pay cap? But other ministers
:09:23. > :09:26.weren't so guarded - willing to say the limit on public
:09:27. > :09:28.sector pay might go. We have had to take some tough
:09:29. > :09:31.decisions and in the wake of the general election,
:09:32. > :09:33.we are going to have to think through what we do
:09:34. > :09:36.come the next Budget. This is obviously something
:09:37. > :09:38.we have to consider, not just for the Army,
:09:39. > :09:40.but right across the public Nurses, teachers, most public
:09:41. > :09:47.sector workers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have been
:09:48. > :09:50.limited to 1% pay rises It was meant to save ?5 billion
:09:51. > :09:57.by 2020, to help close the gap between what the Government takes
:09:58. > :10:01.in from our taxes and it spends. Scrapping the cap was a big part
:10:02. > :10:03.of Labour's election campaign. At the first Prime Minister's
:10:04. > :10:11.Questions since, nearly every Labour frontbencher had the message pinned
:10:12. > :10:14.to their chest. The public sector pay cap is hitting
:10:15. > :10:17.recruitment and retention. But one of the architects
:10:18. > :10:22.of the original plan thinks now it's time
:10:23. > :10:24.that the protests were heard. Many public sector workers are now
:10:25. > :10:27.paid less well than comparable And therefore gradually, you have
:10:28. > :10:32.to adapt to that reality by doing Using their new-found force to get
:10:33. > :10:46.rid of the cap would have been a huge win for this new gaggle

:10:50. > :10:52.the Government change policy This was all ministers
:10:53. > :10:56.were willing to promise. We will not make our decision
:10:57. > :11:01.on public sector pay until the pay review body has reported,
:11:02. > :11:09.and we will listen to what they say and we will listen to what people in

:11:27. > :11:32.they just don't know But carry on with the cap,
:11:33. > :11:42.and the Government looks deaf to concerns that they have
:11:43. > :11:43.themselves acknowledged. Ditch it, though, and it costs
:11:44. > :11:46.the taxpayer billions. Or make no decision -
:11:47. > :11:48.the alternative is confusion, It looked as though this
:11:49. > :11:54.morning, the Government That nothing has changed is really
:11:55. > :11:58.worrying and should send out alarm bells to Conservative MPs that

:14:31. > :14:32.in you having tens of billions of pounds of additional revenue
:14:33. > :14:35.to spend, you can't just do that from the rich or, indeed,
:14:36. > :14:40.just from companies. You have to have a broader-based
:14:41. > :14:43.increase in tax as we see, actually, in many other competitor countries
:14:44. > :14:46.which have higher levels of spending Today, a hint - the public sector
:14:47. > :14:50.pay cap could be reviewed, but every 1% pay increase
:14:51. > :14:54.could cost ?2 billion. Increasing spending might be
:14:55. > :14:59.popular, but take care. In principle, if you increase
:15:00. > :15:01.spending, you will increase growth, But it is very important
:15:02. > :15:08.to think about what that Because that will influence
:15:09. > :15:13.the longer term growth Plenty of people might want
:15:14. > :15:20.a change of direction, but the big question to answer -
:15:21. > :15:27.who is going to pay for it? The number of people who died

:20:10. > :20:17.and she has been attacked. Then he told me before he had

:28:14. > :28:18.investigation, he recently became so ill that he was cared for 24
:28:19. > :28:21.hours a day. I was really struck by how strong
:28:22. > :28:24.he was and how hard he fought, 30 minutes before he passed,
:28:25. > :28:35.he was still fighting. It was late last year that

:28:51. > :28:52.and handed over to officials We saw him a few months later

:29:28. > :29:29.Nemley Junior was allowed special care, but chimpanzee experts say

:29:37. > :29:40.they need that in order to be healthy psychologically,
:29:41. > :29:47.but also healthy physically. And unless they receive that,
:29:48. > :29:51.they can really struggle. Our investigation led to the first
:29:52. > :29:54.convictions for wildlife crime Ibrahima Traore and his uncle
:29:55. > :30:00.Mohammed were jailed for six months, but they've now served their time
:30:01. > :30:06.and have been released. So the plight of Nemley Junior shows

:31:12. > :31:17.and always wore a hat But that opening scene
:31:18. > :31:29.with the station platform, he said there was in it an echo
:31:30. > :31:33.of his childhood in the 30s when he saw Jewish child
:31:34. > :31:40.refugees arrive in Britain. But the world of Paddington was,
:31:41. > :31:42.despite his many scrapes, a gentle place, rooted
