The Government warns teachers not to go on strike. Just days before a

walk out in England and Wales over pension reforms, the Education

Secretary says such action would damage their reputation. Let's not

have the kind of militancy that would disturb family life for

hundreds and thousands across the country and will mark a retrograde

step for the profession. China's Premier, on a visit to the UK,

tells the BBC he'll take measures to improve trade links. Yes!

Fantastic boys! Better than anything you can imagine! And he's

done it yet again. Sebastian Vettel wins his sixth Grand Prix of the

Good evening. The Education Secretary, Michael Gove, has warned

teachers in England and Wales that going on strike next Thursday will

harm the reputation of their profession. Thousands of teachers

are expected to walk out over changes to their pensions. Mr Gove

said the planned action was a mistake and would increase public

support for tougher union laws. Our Political correspondent, Robin

Brant, reports. They do not look like they are

angry and planning for the ultimate action. Some of the teachers at

this gathering in Surrey know they are on the brink of any mass

walkout. They are among 750,000 workers who believe the march

against the cuts was not enough so now they are planning industrial

action on Thursday, which could shut down the school system. It is

something the education secretary believes parents will find it hard

to forgive. Let's stick to the talks and not have the kind of

militancy that will disturb family life for thousands of people across

the country and also will mark a retrograde step for the profession.

Especially at a time were people are realising how many great

teachers we have. A dispute is over pensions. A new deal on public

sector pensions is crucial, especially if the coalition's

numbers are to add up on reducing the deficit. Teaching unions claim

the proposals mean paying more in and maybe getting less out when

retirement comes. One has even accused the government of stealing.

If the government get away with doing a Robert Maxwell on our

pensions there will be no vulnerable teaching profession.

Good teachers will not want to go into the profession because it will

not be worthwhile to do so. Union negotiators are due here tomorrow

to meet with the Cabinet minister officer. For the Association of

Teachers and Lecturers this is the first time in a hundred years that

members have gone on strike. But the government has little room to

manoeuvre on this. Re writing the pension sums, it says, is a key

The Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, has been visiting the MG car plant

at Longbridge near Birmingham which is owned by a Chinese company. It's

part of a three day trip to the UK to improve trade links. He spoke to

our Business Editor, Robert Peston. One of the most powerful men on the

planet, the Chinese premiere in Birmingham to unveil a new MG,

created under Chinese ownership, prior to talking to the British

Prime Minister about the fragile health of the global economy.

G. Six years ago this plant at Longbridge was a symbol of

Britain's industrial humiliation that the collapse of Rover. Today

it produces 2000 cars a year which will rise to 4000 next year but

that is a fraction of the 40,000, also that this plant can produce.

And there is another thing - although these cars are designed in

Britain, but together and Britain, most of the parts are made in China

and it is in China where most of the jobs are. For China, Europe is

one of the biggest markets so it is not immune to the crisis in Greece

and the euro-zone. Do you have plans, for example, to lend to any

of these governments that are having difficulties?

other European countries. As we often say, a friend in need is a

friend indeed. They hint that China and its awe-inspiring three

trillion dollars of reserves could make a financial gesture to restore

confidence in the European economy that Wen Jiabao insists is

fundamentally strong in spite of recent appearances to the contrary.

A senior Conservative in David Cameron's constituency has been

found dead at the Glastonbury Festival. Christopher Shale was the

chairman of West Oxfordshire Conservative Association. In a

statement Mr Cameron said he was devastated and described Mr. Shale

as a "big rock" in his life. Our Political correspondent Ross

Hawkins reports. The man David Cameron called a rock in his life.

The Prime Minister's right hand man in his Oxfordshire constituency,

Christopher Shale was found dead here during a family visit to the

Glastonbury Festival. As those close to him learnt the news the

unexplained at the moment. We are establishing the cause of death.

Police later said they were not looking for anybody else in

connection with the death. In a statement David Cameron described

Christopher Shale as one of the most truly generous people he had

ever met. A big and wonderful man, a close and valued friend. This has

been a terrible shock for everybody who knew Christopher, all over the

place. Particularly for our party members who knew him so well. I got

to know him more recently as our association chairman where he had

great things in line for the party going forward. A man with a low

public profile, Chris -- Christopher Shale did feature in a

newspaper today. A leaked document from him said there were no reasons

to join his local constituency association and lots of reasons not

Political sources say Christopher Shale had taken news that story

would break in his stride. The thought tonight of those nearby is

that it was not the loss -- it was the loss of a father and friend to

the Prime Minister. Rebels in eastern Libya say they're ready to

discuss a political settlement with the government in Tripoli as long

as it involves Colonel Gaddafi and his circle leaving power. The

opposition group says significant numbers of senior Libyan army

officers are deserting the regime - a claim, which the government in

Tripoli has denied. Our Diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall

reports from the rebel side of the front line near Brega. For the

poorly supplied rebels in eastern Libya this conflict is about

improvisation. This workshop normally Wells car exhausts. But

these days they fix weapons for rebel fighters, like this

refrigerator engineer who has built himself a home-made rocket launcher.

They are all heading for the front line in breaker, the scene of

chaotic battles this spring and now weeks of stalemate. All waiting for

the order to advance on Gaddafi's troops and pave the way to Tripoli.

They are preparing now and waiting to move forward to the last target

which is Tripoli. When you talk to rebel leaders in Benghazi their

vision can sound ground. But here on the front line it is different.

Rather disorganised and not that much of it. To be fair, this is

behind, any better weaponry is further forward. But if this is

supposed to be the main army of the rebels the absence of proper kit,

organisation, is shocking. And another problem - mixed feelings

amongst the fighters about causing bloodshed. Even these seasoned

veterans, professional soldiers who switched sides to join the rebels

are reluctant. We don't want to kill Gaddafi troops, they say, they

are Libyan brothers, all from the same country. Everyone appreciates

that many may not be there voluntary. This commercial airline

pilot fled the Libyan capital 10 days ago. He said people there are

increasingly desperate. It is like the Last Days of Hitler in the

Second World War. Everybody is suspicious, everybody may be taken

to jail. Now it seems rebel leaders are hoping the impact of NATO

airstrikes and the daily stream of defections might cause the Gaddafi

regime -- force the Gaddafi regime into peace talks. They say the only

condition is that Gaddafi and his circle must leave power. Everything

else is on the table. Crime maps which allow the public

in England and Wales to see information on the level of crime

in their local area could soon include photographs of offenders.

The Home Office has said it's also considering adding details of the

criminal's offences and their punishment to the maps which are

available on the internet. The idea is being tried out in West

Yorkshire from where Ed Thomas reports. So who is a criminal and

what crime have they committed? In Leeds that question can be answered.

Because of this, a website by a West Yorkshire police naming and

shaming offenders with photographs. The government is thinking about

using it across England and Wales. They broke in through the roof...

It is supposed to give victims of crime confident. Maggie has been

burgled twice and wants to see those who did it hold to account.

It is a good idea. It could discourage them from doing that

kind of thing again if a relative, or family could see what they were

doing. The photos only stay on the website for one month after

conviction, victim's consent is required. West Yorkshire police say

this is happening because people want to see it. But they also

recognise there must be a balance between the right of a community to

see justice being done and the right of a person convicted of an

offence. So do people here want to see the faces of those committing

crimes? If somebody broke into my house and stole things I would like

to know who it was. It will lead to bad feeling within the community.

This man has been given a jail term... And will it keep

reoffending rates down. Michael words would criminals both before

and after they get out of jail, he has his doubts. In terms of

managing offenders and reducing reoffending I am not sure what the

objective here has been in terms of wants the offender has been put in

custody and in prison is it helping them, or hindering them to have a

crime-free life? The government has no date to roll this out but they

are keen for justice to be seen to be done.

Now, with a round up of the day's sport here's Amanda Davies.

Good evening. Red Bull's Sebastien Vettel has extended his lead at the

top of the Formula 1 driver's championship after victory at the

European Grand Prix. The defending world champion claimed his 6th win

in eight races this season, and afterwards declared it the best yet.

He has led the season from the start and will surely be leading it

at the finish. It was the usual story for Sebastian Vettel, from

pole position he zoomed away and the rest was history. Lewes hammock

on began tentatively, passed by both Ferrari's on his way to 4th

place -- Lewis Hamilton. After the drama of Canada when he was

overtaken on the final lap this was a sun-soaked stroll for Sebastian

Vettel, the real contest was for second as Fernando Alonso swept

past Mark Webber to the delight of the home crowd. He was never going

to catch Sebastian Vettel, 11 seconds clear and in a class of his

own. Utterly dominant performance yet again from Sebastian Vettel!

Better than anything you can imagine! This was such a nice race.

He now leads the championship by a whopping 77 points, we are not even

halfway through the season but the title seems his for the taking.

15,000 people who thought they had secured London 2012 Olympics

tickets in the second round of sales have now been told they won't

receive them. The disappointed number were able to book seats for

events which had already sold out because the booking website wasn't

updated quickly enough. 2.3 million tickets went on sale online on

Friday on a first-come, first- served basis. Locog have said

almost 90% of those who applied did get some tickets. There was more

Derby disappointment for the Queen today. After failing to claim

victory at Epsom 2 weeks ago, her Majesty's horse Canford Cliffs

could only finish fourth in the Irish version at the Curragh. It
