:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight at Ten, there's more funding for schools in England -

:00:09. > :00:11.?1.3 billion over the next two years.

:00:12. > :00:21.The money will come from the existing education budget,

:00:22. > :00:23.including from funds set aside for free schools, a flagship

:00:24. > :00:26.The additional funding I'm setting out today,

:00:27. > :00:28.together with the introduction of a national funding formula,

:00:29. > :00:30.will provide schools with the investment they need

:00:31. > :00:36.to offer a world class education to every single child.

:00:37. > :00:39.It's a step in the right direction and we're pleased that the

:00:40. > :00:42.government now agrees with us, but this seems to us more of a

:00:43. > :00:47.short-term fix rather than full remedy.

:00:48. > :00:49.There'd been anger from some Conservative MPs in the wake

:00:50. > :00:59.The route of the new HS2 rail line north of Birmingham has been

:01:00. > :01:00.announced, and some new homes near Sheffield

:01:01. > :01:07.A terminally ill man has begun a High Court battle for the right

:01:08. > :01:14.We have a special report from eastern Ukraine,

:01:15. > :01:16.where the misery continues for thousands of people,

:01:17. > :01:18.as a ceasefire between Russian separatists and Ukrainian

:01:19. > :01:25.These trenches are just 40 or 50 yards from the Russian backed

:01:26. > :01:28.forces on the other side, just over the wall here.

:01:29. > :01:31.That's why nobody speaks loudly in this place.

:01:32. > :01:34.And it's a family state visit to Poland for the Duke

:01:35. > :01:40.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News...

:01:41. > :01:42.It's raining British golds at the World Para

:01:43. > :01:45.Hannah Cockroft wins the 800 metres T34 final,

:01:46. > :02:10.while Sophie Kamlish triumphs in the 100 metre T44.

:02:11. > :02:12.Schools in England are to get ?1.3 billion extra funding,

:02:13. > :02:16.over the next two years, but the money will be

:02:17. > :02:23.diverted from other parts of the education budget.

:02:24. > :02:25.There have been protests by head teachers, and disquiet

:02:26. > :02:27.from some Conservative MPs, that schools have been

:02:28. > :02:33.Labour has welcomed the extra money, but says it's not enough,

:02:34. > :02:35.just a "sticking plaster unless further action

:02:36. > :02:43.Our Education Correspondent Gillian Hargreaves has the details.

:02:44. > :02:45.Fears over bigger class sizes, enough schoolbooks and teachers

:02:46. > :02:51.Funding in England's schools was a big election

:02:52. > :02:53.issue, which is why today's announcement

:02:54. > :02:55.of ?2.6 billion more over the next two years

:02:56. > :03:02.We recognise that at the election people were concerned about

:03:03. > :03:07.the overall level of funding in schools, as well as its

:03:08. > :03:11.And as the Prime Minister said, we are determined to listen.

:03:12. > :03:16.That is why today I am confirming our plans to get on with

:03:17. > :03:19.introducing a national funding formula in 2018-19, and I can

:03:20. > :03:23.announce this will additionally now be supported by significant extra

:03:24. > :03:32.investment into the core schools budget over the next two years.

:03:33. > :03:35.Astoundingly, this has all been funded without a penny of new money

:03:36. > :03:45.Perhaps the Chancellor did not want to fund

:03:46. > :03:50.schools and thought that teachers and teaching assistants

:03:51. > :03:52.are simply more overpaid public servants.

:03:53. > :03:55.School spending will rise from ?41 billion this year to ?43.5

:03:56. > :04:00.And no secondary school pupil will have less than

:04:01. > :04:05.?4800 spent on their schooling each year.

:04:06. > :04:11.?2.6 billion sounds like a lot of money, but when rising costs,

:04:12. > :04:13.teachers' pensions and pay are taken into account,

:04:14. > :04:16.it amounts to a freeze over the next two years.

:04:17. > :04:18.The devil will be in the detail and as I

:04:19. > :04:23.understand it, it is not new money from the Treasury, but from other

:04:24. > :04:25.parts of the education budget, so we will have

:04:26. > :04:29.From a school 's point of view, that is welcome.

:04:30. > :04:31.Only yesterday hundreds of parents, teachers

:04:32. > :04:33.and children staged a protest at Westminster.

:04:34. > :04:38.Finding the money has come at a political cost

:04:39. > :04:46.to ministers, who have had to raid the pot of money set aside for free

:04:47. > :04:55.Schools, a flagship Conservative policy. The scale of public anger

:04:56. > :04:59.over school cuts is unprecedented. In recent times. Parents staging

:05:00. > :05:02.marches and protests, headteachers writing hundreds of letters to

:05:03. > :05:07.politicians expressing their frustration. All of which is

:05:08. > :05:11.focusing ministers' minds. Schools have had to make serious cuts, and

:05:12. > :05:15.it's not clear that the money announced they will be enough to

:05:16. > :05:17.offer much hope to those schools. But it's a step in the right

:05:18. > :05:20.direction and we are pleased the government now agrees with us, but

:05:21. > :05:27.it seems to us more of a short-term fix. This new multi-billion pound

:05:28. > :05:30.investment in schools is not short change, but as yet it's unclear

:05:31. > :05:33.whether it will be enough to see off angry parents and frustrated

:05:34. > :05:40.teachers. Gillian Hargreaves, BBC News.

:05:41. > :05:44.The routes for the second stage of the new HS2 high speed rail

:05:45. > :05:47.Trains will run from Birmingham on two lines -

:05:48. > :05:50.one serving the North West the other running through the East Midlands

:05:51. > :05:53.Business leaders in the Midlands and North have broadly

:05:54. > :05:55.welcomed the announcement, but there is concern in some places

:05:56. > :05:58.along the new routes which will see towns and villages disrupted,

:05:59. > :06:01.The Transport Secretary Chris Grayling is making

:06:02. > :06:05.Our Transport Correspondent Richard Westcott reports.

:06:06. > :06:07.It's the train line that split people right down the middle.

:06:08. > :06:10.For supporters, it will boost the economy and bridge

:06:11. > :06:14.Critics say costs will spiral and benefits are overblown.

:06:15. > :06:17.Today, several years late, the government finally confirmed

:06:18. > :06:24.Trains will run on from Birmingham on two lines,

:06:25. > :06:28.some on already existing tracks - one serving the North West and major

:06:29. > :06:32.cities like Manchester and Liverpool, the other serving

:06:33. > :06:36.the East Midlands up to Sheffield, Leeds and York.

:06:37. > :06:40.The fact HS2 trains are now likely to stop in the centre of Sheffield

:06:41. > :06:42.is bad news for everybody here on this estate

:06:43. > :06:46.It means that the line will come through those trees,

:06:47. > :06:49.and they were going to build new houses there, but they've

:06:50. > :06:55.It will come over our heads and is likely to go through these

:06:56. > :06:59.But of course it means all of the houses around

:07:00. > :07:04.will have a 20 metre high rail viaduct right above their heads.

:07:05. > :07:12.The route, we have been told, is going to cut

:07:13. > :07:15.through from the show houses, through my property,

:07:16. > :07:17.through my neighbour's property and straight through into the very

:07:18. > :07:30.Why weren't we told when we bought the property?

:07:31. > :07:32.Why build a brand-new housing estate and then

:07:33. > :07:34.potentially knock it down, when we are short of

:07:35. > :07:43.Just over the road from Ben's, the line could also cut

:07:44. > :07:46.We spoke to her last year and she was livid.

:07:47. > :07:55.To think we put all this, over 40 odd years, into what we've got.

:07:56. > :07:57.You were fuming last time we were here.

:07:58. > :08:03.Too much has gone into this over the years.

:08:04. > :08:05.I could never imagine living anywhere else.

:08:06. > :08:07.HS2 creates losers, but it makes winners, too,

:08:08. > :08:11.like this small digital marketing company in Nottingham.

:08:12. > :08:15.It will be easier for us to do business on a national scale.

:08:16. > :08:17.It will be easier for us to attract clients to our

:08:18. > :08:22.And for us to recruit talent from around the country who would be

:08:23. > :08:24.willing to relocate to a city with better transport links,

:08:25. > :08:27.or potentially even commute to Nottingham from other cities.

:08:28. > :08:31.Contracts have just been awarded for the first phase of HS2

:08:32. > :08:33.between London and Birmingham, worth nearly ?7 billion

:08:34. > :08:40.The total bill will be ?56 billion, making it Britain's most

:08:41. > :08:47.If we don't have the capital investment we need for the future

:08:48. > :08:49.to increase the capacity of our transport system,

:08:50. > :08:52.to support economic development, we won't carry on with the progress

:08:53. > :08:55.that we've made that has brought unemployment down to the lowest

:08:56. > :09:02.The first Leeds HS2 train will not depart for another 16 years -

:09:03. > :09:04.plenty of time for opponents to fight the plans.

:09:05. > :09:09.Richard Wescott, BBC News, Mexborough.

:09:10. > :09:12.A second round of talks on Britain's departure from the European Union

:09:13. > :09:16.The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, says it's now time to get

:09:17. > :09:19.down to the "substance" of the negotiations.

:09:20. > :09:22.On the agenda, the rights of EU citizens in the UK,

:09:23. > :09:27.The financial settlement, covering the UK's outstanding commitments.

:09:28. > :09:33.Meanwhile, Theresa May is trying to reimpose discipline

:09:34. > :09:35.on senior ministers, after a series of leaks suggesting

:09:36. > :09:42.Here's our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg.

:09:43. > :09:46.They don't really have much time to hang around.

:09:47. > :09:51.The two men who will haggle over how we leave.

:09:52. > :09:55.Especially with the UK's political situation rather fluid, at best.

:09:56. > :10:00.It's incredibly important we now make good progress and we negotiate

:10:01. > :10:03.through this and identify the differences, so we can deal with

:10:04. > :10:07.them, and identify the similarities, so we can reinforce them.

:10:08. > :10:09.Now it's time to get to work and make this

:10:10. > :10:21.Working out the Irish border, the Brexit bill,

:10:22. > :10:25.But government ministers don't agree completely

:10:26. > :10:30.Perhaps that is why the Brexit Secretary seemed

:10:31. > :10:35.Perhaps because chatter around the Cabinet at home suggests

:10:36. > :10:48.We have seen in another part of town today, I'm very pleased that

:10:49. > :10:51.negotiations are beginning, and as you know, a very fair,

:10:52. > :10:55.serious offer has been put on the table by the UK Government.

:10:56. > :10:59.It's not just that government has to wrangle Brexit

:11:00. > :11:02.through Brussels and Parliament, but deal with other pressures

:11:03. > :11:06.and disagreements on public sector pay and on spending.

:11:07. > :11:09.Above all, the disagreements have emerged into daylight

:11:10. > :11:11.because the discipline Theresa May had imposed on the Tories

:11:12. > :11:14.has all but disappeared since the general election.

:11:15. > :11:18.Tomorrow, she will warn the cabinet to behave,

:11:19. > :11:22.to keep their views to themselves, but those with desire

:11:23. > :11:24.for the top job, or helpful friends with ambition,

:11:25. > :11:34.I think, whoever is doing it, everybody needs to get into a cold

:11:35. > :11:36.bath or cold shower, and then get together

:11:37. > :11:44.It's damaging to the party, to the Parliamentary MPs,

:11:45. > :11:47.and, most importantly, to the country.

:11:48. > :11:49.Remember him, urging the Tories today to inspire,

:11:50. > :12:02.The risk fot the Tories - the current generation

:12:03. > :12:03.hurts each other fighting old battles anew.

:12:04. > :12:04.Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.

:12:05. > :12:07.Laura is in Westminster for us tonight.

:12:08. > :12:12.Big announcements on funding, the proposed routes of the HS2 line and

:12:13. > :12:15.the Brexit talks. This is a government keen to be seen getting

:12:16. > :12:20.on with things. They are trying to show they are getting on with the

:12:21. > :12:25.job, to use one of Theresa May's favourite and often quoted phrases.

:12:26. > :12:30.Any government has to operate on a 360 degrees basis. If know they can

:12:31. > :12:38.try to shape the agenda, they can't dictate it completely, even if they

:12:39. > :12:41.were at the height of their powers. And for this group, the last five

:12:42. > :12:44.weeks have been about trying to show that they can be in charge, that

:12:45. > :12:47.even know they are damaged by the election campaign, they are capable

:12:48. > :12:51.of getting something is done. Theresa May has certainly not been

:12:52. > :12:56.helped in that by the noises off from some of her Cabinet colleagues,

:12:57. > :13:00.or, more likely, their supporters, if they have been having some of

:13:01. > :13:03.their arguments rather publicly instead of keeping them behind

:13:04. > :13:08.closed doors. I think it matters that tomorrow she will be

:13:09. > :13:11.metaphorically banging the Cabinet table, and, frankly, if

:13:12. > :13:17.indelicately, telling them to put a sock in it. But she is clearly

:13:18. > :13:19.trying to get a grip back on things. The former Prime Minister David

:13:20. > :13:26.Cameron was actually visiting number ten today to trade tips on how best

:13:27. > :13:29.to do the job. And just in the days after the election, that tumultuous

:13:30. > :13:35.time for the Tory party, it didn't seem then endeavour to -- it didn't

:13:36. > :13:39.seem then inevitable she would make it this far. Now just days before

:13:40. > :13:42.Parliament breaks up for the Sam Allardyce, some of her colleagues

:13:43. > :13:46.believe she is not through the worst, but has certainly made a

:13:47. > :13:50.start on trying to regain some of her moment. One senior Cabinet

:13:51. > :13:53.minister said to me that every single day she manages to stay in

:13:54. > :13:58.the job makes it more likely she will be able to stay on, not just

:13:59. > :14:04.for a few months, but perhaps for another couple of years. But, as

:14:05. > :14:08.anyone around here will tell you, it's far harder to rebuild

:14:09. > :14:09.authority, than it is to lose it. Laura Kuenssberg in Westminster,

:14:10. > :14:12.thank you. A terminally ill man has begun

:14:13. > :14:15.a legal challenge at the High Court to end the ban on assisted dying

:14:16. > :14:18.in England and Wales. Noel Conway, who's 67,

:14:19. > :14:21.has motor neurone disease, and says he fears eventually

:14:22. > :14:24.becoming "entombed in his own body." He wants the right to choose

:14:25. > :14:27.when and where he dies, without those who help

:14:28. > :14:29.him being prosecuted. Currently, it's illegal

:14:30. > :14:31.to aid a suicide. Our Medical Correspondent

:14:32. > :14:34.Fergus Walsh reports. It's an issue which polarises

:14:35. > :14:42.opinion, and keeps coming The latest challenge

:14:43. > :14:52.is from Noel Conway from Shropshire, who was too weak to attend today's

:14:53. > :14:54.hearing. Motor neurone disease

:14:55. > :15:00.means he increasingly Once fit and active, his muscles

:15:01. > :15:08.are progressively wasting. He fears how he will die,

:15:09. > :15:11.and wants a doctor to be allowed I want to be able to say goodbye

:15:12. > :15:18.to the people that I love at the right time, not to be

:15:19. > :15:25.in a zombie-like condition, suffering both physically

:15:26. > :15:28.and psychologically. It is only three years

:15:29. > :15:38.since the Supreme Court rejected a similar plea for a right to die

:15:39. > :15:41.from Tony Nicklinson, though he was not considered

:15:42. > :15:45.to be terminally ill. The blanket ban on assisted dying

:15:46. > :15:50.has been challenged many times, and in every case, the courts have

:15:51. > :15:53.rejected the central argument that the current law breaches human

:15:54. > :15:58.rights by preventing people Mr Conway's lawyers argue

:15:59. > :16:05.that his challenge is different, as it applies to a narrow group

:16:06. > :16:13.of people - those who are terminally ill, with less than six months

:16:14. > :16:16.to live, and who have a settled But those safeguards have already

:16:17. > :16:21.failed to persuade parliament. It's only two years since MPs

:16:22. > :16:24.overwhelmingly rejected proposals Baroness Jane Campbell,

:16:25. > :16:30.a disability rights campaigner, says changing the law would send

:16:31. > :16:33.all the wrong signals, This case must not become law

:16:34. > :16:41.because it will burden disabled people across the country,

:16:42. > :16:46.who will not feel safe without the protection of a law that

:16:47. > :16:49.says it is wrong to assist Noel Conway's health is faltering,

:16:50. > :16:57.and he knows he may die The High Court will reserve

:16:58. > :17:05.its judgment until October, and it may then go all the way

:17:06. > :17:08.to the Supreme Court. Today marks three years

:17:09. > :17:19.since Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine,

:17:20. > :17:24.killing 298 people. It was the worst single loss

:17:25. > :17:27.of life in the conflict between Russian-backed separatists,

:17:28. > :17:30.and the government in Kiev. More than 10,000 people have died,

:17:31. > :17:33.and more than a million others have fled, or been forced

:17:34. > :17:34.from their homes. A ceasefire in the region isn't

:17:35. > :17:39.holding, with regular skirmishes as rebels who want closer ties

:17:40. > :17:42.to Moscow battle the Ukrainian armed forces, in mainly

:17:43. > :17:46.Russian speaking areas. Our special correspondent Fergal

:17:47. > :17:48.Keane and cameraman Darren Conway have been to the front line,

:17:49. > :18:04.in the town of Avdiivka. at first the land looks at peace.

:18:05. > :18:12.Until very quickly we walk into the war. Here you follow in the steps of

:18:13. > :18:22.those who know the safest path, like this 50-year-old who joined the Army

:18:23. > :18:26.when the war began. We paused because there is a sniper who has a

:18:27. > :18:37.direct line. She is telling us to go. The sprint to cover that is the

:18:38. > :18:41.hallmark of all the world's war zones. This was once a thriving

:18:42. > :18:49.industrial zone, now mangled by shellfire. Where the long silences

:18:50. > :18:59.of a half-hearted ceasefire are suddenly shattered. Thousands of

:19:00. > :19:02.shells have landed here. This unexploded rocket detonated by

:19:03. > :19:03.Ukrainian troops. There is a grim humour here.

:19:04. > :19:12.Bolstered by local soldiers whose homes lie beyond the bridge

:19:13. > :19:19.where the territory of the Russian backed forces begins.

:19:20. > :19:38.So that big building to the left is them?

:19:42. > :19:50.The ceasefire allows men to dig close to rebel lines.

:19:51. > :19:53.There is some protection, but it is not a place to stand

:19:54. > :20:00.We are at the furthest point forward now in the Ukrainian positions

:20:01. > :20:02.and these trenches are just between 40 and 50 yards

:20:03. > :20:04.from the Russian backed forces on the other side,

:20:05. > :20:09.That's why nobody speaks loudly in this place.

:20:19. > :20:20.that would threaten the men digging these trenches.

:20:21. > :20:26.It tells you it is about permanence, that this war has

:20:27. > :20:29.And that means untold suffering, particularly

:20:30. > :20:42.More than 1 million people are displaced on both sides.

:21:00. > :21:02.Ludmila came here after her own home was shelled

:21:03. > :21:15.But it is the fear of random shelling that haunts the family,

:21:16. > :21:25.making this tiny basement their refuge.

:21:26. > :21:32.Ludmila worries constantly about a direct hit.

:21:33. > :21:55.There are many stories like this on the other side, too.
