:00:35. > :00:39.The Government warns teachers not to go on strike, saying walking out
:00:39. > :00:42.would damage their reputation. Let's not have this militancy that
:00:42. > :00:47.will disturb family life for hundreds of thousands of people
:00:47. > :00:55.across the country and also I think will mark a retro grade step for
:00:55. > :01:00.the profession. From fixing fridges to missile launchers, we meet the
:01:00. > :01:04.tradesmen helping the rebels. Yeah, yes! Better than anything you
:01:04. > :01:14.could imagine! He's done it yet again. Sebastien Vettel wins his

:01:24. > :01:28.sixth Grand Prix of the season in Good Evening. The Chinese premier,
:01:28. > :01:32.Wen Jiabao, has promised a huge trade boost with the UK, with deals
:01:32. > :01:35.worth over �1 billion expected to be announced during his visit here.
:01:35. > :01:39.The Chinese Prime Minister began his trip by going to the MG car
:01:39. > :01:42.plant at Longbridge near Birmingham, which is owned by a Chinese company.
:01:42. > :01:46.Tomorrow, he'll meet the Prime Minister, David Cameron, for a

:01:54. > :02:00.One of the most powerful men on the planet, China's premier, Wen Jiabao,
:02:00. > :02:04.in Longbridge, Birmingham. To unveil a new MG, created under
:02:04. > :02:07.Chinese ownership, prior to talking to the British Prime Minister about
:02:07. > :02:11.the fragile health of the global economy.
:02:11. > :02:14.To deal with the factors that led to the great crisis of 2008, how
:02:14. > :02:17.much more work is there to do in your view?
:02:17. > :02:20.TRANSLATION: At home, we are going to further stimulate domestic
:02:20. > :02:25.consumption and we are going to reduce our foreign trade surplus
:02:25. > :02:28.and our reliance on exports. We will welcome more British
:02:28. > :02:34.products into the Chinese market and we will create conditions to
:02:34. > :02:38.make it happen. About time too, some British
:02:38. > :02:42.companies will say. Because the Chinese sell �17 billion more goods
:02:42. > :02:46.and services to Britain than British businesses sell to China.
:02:46. > :02:52.And, Mr Jiabao wants Chinese businesss to invest a good deal
:02:52. > :02:56.more outside China in places like the UK along the lines of Shanghai
:02:56. > :02:58.Automotive's commitment to MG. Six years ago, this vast plant at
:02:58. > :03:02.Longbridge in Birmingham was a symbol of Britain's industrial
:03:02. > :03:07.humiliation with the collapse of Rover. Today, it's producing 2,000
:03:07. > :03:12.cars a year, which will rise to 4,000 next year, but that's still a
:03:12. > :03:15.fraction of the 40,000 or sor this plant is capable of producing.
:03:15. > :03:19.There's another thing. Although the cars are designed in Britain,
:03:19. > :03:24.although they're put together in Britain, most of the parts are made
:03:24. > :03:29.in China and it's in China where most of the jobs are.
:03:29. > :03:33.For China, the world's trading power house, Europe is an enormous,
:03:33. > :03:35.important market, so China as a great deal to lose from the
:03:35. > :03:40.financial crisis in Greece and the eurozone.
:03:40. > :03:44.Do you have any plans to lend to any of the Governments that are
:03:44. > :03:47.having tremendous difficulties borrowing at the moment?
:03:47. > :03:51.TRANSLATION: We have done this for Hungary and will do the same thing
:03:51. > :03:59.for other European countries. So, as we often say, a friend in need
:03:59. > :04:02.is a friend indeed. A hint that China and its awe-
:04:02. > :04:06.inspiring $3 trillion of reserves might make a financial gesture to
:04:06. > :04:12.restore confidence in the battered European economy.
:04:12. > :04:14.Across the road from the MG plant, Mr Wen couldn't have paid for more
:04:14. > :04:19.enthusiastic support. It would have been less ennam moured of this
:04:19. > :04:22.quieter group protesting China's record on human rights, a possible
:04:22. > :04:27.reminder for British business and Government that there may be a
:04:27. > :04:31.price we shouldn't pay for access to China's 1.3 billion consumers.
:04:31. > :04:34.Robert joins me now. British businesses long complained about
:04:34. > :04:37.getting access to the huge Chinese market. Is that really going to
:04:37. > :04:40.change? Certainly one shouldn't underestimate the scale of the
:04:40. > :04:45.challenge. We sell less as a country to China, the world's
:04:45. > :04:51.second biggest economy, than we do to the tiny economy down the road
:04:51. > :04:55.of Ireland. Our deficit with China is the biggest trade deficit vis-a-
:04:55. > :04:57.vis any other country in the world. As you say, British businesses, the
:04:57. > :05:01.British Government, has been complaining for years that access
:05:01. > :05:04.to the market is too difficult. There's good reason, however, on
:05:04. > :05:09.this occasion to believe that when the chie fees premier says that is
:05:10. > :05:13.going to change, that that may well happen -- Chinese. He believes this
:05:13. > :05:19.massive Chinese surplus that it generates year after year
:05:19. > :05:24.contributed to the financial crisis of 2007-2008. He wants to get it
:05:24. > :05:28.down because that surplus is the deficits of countries like the UK
:05:28. > :05:32.and the US. To stable tiez economy, his surplus has to be reduced, he
:05:32. > :05:39.wants to do that by stimulating consumer spending by the Chinese
:05:39. > :05:41.and the prospect of more spending by 1.5 million Chinese people is a
:05:41. > :05:47.tremendously exciting opportunity for British businesss if they can
:05:47. > :05:49.provide the goods and services that the Chinese actually want.
:05:49. > :05:53.Thanks very much. The Education Secretary, Michael
:05:53. > :05:57.Gove, has warned teachers in England and Wales that going on
:05:57. > :06:00.strike next Thursday will harm the reputation of their profession.
:06:00. > :06:04.Thousands of teachers are expected to walk out over changes to their
:06:04. > :06:08.pensions. Mr Gove said the planned action was a mistake and would
:06:08. > :06:11.increase public support for tougher union laws. Our Political
:06:11. > :06:14.Correspondent, Robin Brandt, has this report.
:06:14. > :06:17.They don't look like they're angry and planning for the ultimate
:06:17. > :06:23.action. But some of the teachers that the gathering in Surrey know
:06:23. > :06:27.they're on the brink of a mass walkout.
:06:27. > :06:32.They're among 750,000 workers who believe the march against the cuts
:06:32. > :06:35.wasn't enough. Now they're planning industrial action on Thursday.
:06:35. > :06:38.It could shut down the school's system. It's something the
:06:38. > :06:42.Education Secretary believes parents will find hard to forgive.
:06:42. > :06:44.Let's stick to the talks and not have the militancy that will
:06:44. > :06:51.disturb family life for hundreds of thousands of people across the
:06:51. > :06:54.country and also I think will mark aretrograde step for the profession
:06:54. > :06:57.at the moment when people should realise how many great teachers we
:06:57. > :07:00.have in the classroom. Government believes population
:07:00. > :07:04.changes make the current arrangement force pensions
:07:04. > :07:07.unsustainable and a new deal on public sector pensions is crucial,
:07:07. > :07:10.especially if the coalition's numbers are to add up on reducing
:07:10. > :07:14.the deficit. The teaching unions claim the
:07:15. > :07:17.proposals mean paying more in and maybe getting less out when
:07:17. > :07:20.retirement comes. One has accused the Government of
:07:20. > :07:25.stealing. If the Government gets away with doing a Robert Maxwell on
:07:25. > :07:27.our pensions, which is what he's trying to do, there will be no
:07:27. > :07:31.honourable teaching profession. Good teachers won't want to two
:07:31. > :07:35.into the profession because it won't be worth their while to do so.
:07:35. > :07:39.Union negotiators are due here tomorrow to meet with the b Cabinet
:07:39. > :07:41.Office minister, Francis Maude, for the Association of Teachers and
:07:41. > :07:44.Lecturers, this is the first time in over a hundred years its members
:07:44. > :07:48.have gone on a national strike. But the Government has very little room
:07:48. > :07:56.to manoeuvre on this issue, rewriting the pension sums, it says,
:07:56. > :07:59.is a key part of its deficit reduction plan. A senior
:07:59. > :08:02.Conservative in David Cameron's constituency has been found dead at
:08:02. > :08:05.the Glastonbury Festival. Christopher Shale was the chairman
:08:05. > :08:09.of west Oxfordshire Conservative Association. In a statement today,
:08:09. > :08:14.Mr Cameron said he was devastated. Our Political Correspondent, Ross
:08:14. > :08:19.Hawkins, has this report. The man David Cameron called a rock
:08:19. > :08:23.in his life. The Prime Minister's right hand man in his Oxfordshire
:08:23. > :08:27.constituency. Christopher Shale was found dead here during a family
:08:27. > :08:30.visit to the Glastonbury Festival, as those close to him learned the
:08:30. > :08:35.news the police were investigating and while inspector Chris Morgan
:08:35. > :08:37.from the Avon and Somerset force had few details... I would say it's
:08:37. > :08:40.unexplained at this time and we are working on establishing the cause
:08:40. > :08:44.of death. After a postmortem this evening, the police said they were
:08:44. > :08:48.not treating the death as suspicious.
:08:48. > :08:53.In a statement, David Cameron described Christopher Shale as one
:08:53. > :08:59.of the most truly generous people he'd ever met, a big and wonderful
:08:59. > :09:03.man, a close and valued friend. This has been a terrible shock for
:09:03. > :09:08.everybody who knew Christopher all over the place, in west Oxfordshire
:09:08. > :09:12.and nationally and particularly for our party members who knew him so
:09:12. > :09:16.well and had got to know him more recently as our association
:09:16. > :09:20.chairman where he had great things in mind for our party going forward.
:09:20. > :09:24.A man with a low public profile, Christopher Shale featured in one
:09:24. > :09:27.newspaper today, a leaked document written by him said there were no
:09:27. > :09:32.reasons to join his local constituency association and lots
:09:32. > :09:34.of reasons not to. We are not, he said, always an appealing
:09:35. > :09:39.proposition. Political sources say Christopher
:09:39. > :09:42.Shale had taken news that story would break in his stride, the
:09:42. > :09:49.thought tonight of those in Witney are not with the newspapers but
:09:50. > :09:52.with the loss of a father and of a friend to the Prime Minister.
:09:52. > :09:57.Six mountaineers have been found dead after an apparent avalanche of
:09:57. > :10:00.snow and rocks in the French alps. The bodies of the climbers whose
:10:00. > :10:02.nationalities have not been confirmed were found by a British
:10:03. > :10:06.hiker earlier today. Mountain rescue police say they were
:10:06. > :10:09.discovered in an altitude of more than 2,500 metres. It's thought
:10:09. > :10:14.they attempted the climb yesterday. French Police have opened an
:10:14. > :10:19.investigation into the accident. A prominent Libyan rebel's told the
:10:19. > :10:23.BBC that he expects Colonel Gaddafi to be out of power by August. The
:10:23. > :10:27.opposition's defence chief says defectors from Gaddafi's forces
:10:27. > :10:30.have told him the Colonel's inner circle is getting smaller by the
:10:30. > :10:34.day. Our Diplomatic Correspondent, Bridget Kendall reports, from the
:10:34. > :10:40.rebel side of the frontline near Brega.
:10:40. > :10:44.For the poorly supplied rebels in the eastern Libya, this conflict is
:10:44. > :10:49.about improvisation. This workshop normally welds car exhausts. These
:10:49. > :10:53.days, they fix weapons for rebel fighters, like this refrigirator
:10:53. > :10:57.engineer who's built himself a home-made rocket launcher.
:10:57. > :11:01.They're all heading for the Brega frontline, the scene of chaotic
:11:01. > :11:05.battles this spring and now weeks of stalemate.
:11:05. > :11:12.All waiting for the order to advance on Gaddafi's troops and
:11:12. > :11:16.pave the way to Tripoli. They're waiting, they're hungering
:11:16. > :11:21.to move forward until, as you know, the last target, which is Tripoli.
:11:21. > :11:25.When you talk to rebel leaders in Benghazi, their vision can sound
:11:25. > :11:28.grand but quite coherent. Here on the frontline, it's rather
:11:28. > :11:36.different, rather disorganised and not that much of it.
:11:36. > :11:42.To be fair, this is the rear. Any better weaponry is further forward.
:11:42. > :11:47.But the absence of proper kit or organisation is shocking. And
:11:47. > :11:50.there's another problem. Mixed feelings among the fighters about
:11:50. > :11:56.causing bloodshed. Even those seasoned veterans, professional
:11:56. > :12:00.soldier who is switch sides to join the rebels, are reluctant.
:12:00. > :12:06.TRANSLATION: We don't want to kill Gaddafi's troops, they're our
:12:06. > :12:12.Libyan brothers, we are all from the same country.
:12:12. > :12:15.Everyone here appreciates that many on Gaddafi's side may not be there
:12:15. > :12:19.voluntarily. This commercial airline pilot fled the Libyan
:12:19. > :12:26.capital ten days ago. People there, he says, are increasingly desperate.
:12:26. > :12:28.We are like, you know, the last days of Hitler in the Second World
:12:29. > :12:33.War. Everybody's suspicious, everybody may die any minute,
:12:33. > :12:40.everybody may be taken to jail. The rebel's defence chief told me
:12:40. > :12:44.that a stream of high ranking defectors were reporting that the
:12:44. > :12:48.new noose around Gaddafi was steadly loosening.
:12:48. > :12:52.He said it could be over by August. TRANSLATION: What we are learning
:12:52. > :12:56.from defectors is that Gaddafi's supporters are getting fewer.
:12:56. > :13:01.People close to him are abandoning him and his inner circle is getting
:13:01. > :13:05.smaller by the day. That's denyed in Tripoli. It seems the rebels
:13:05. > :13:09.hope the impact of NATO airstrikes and the defections might force the
:13:09. > :13:13.Gaddafi regime into peace talks. Their only condition is that
:13:13. > :13:21.Gaddafi and his circle must leave power. Everything else is on the
:13:21. > :13:26.table. Now, with a round-up of the day's
:13:26. > :13:31.sport, here is Amanda Davies. Lewis Hamilton has conceded the race for
:13:31. > :13:33.the Formula One world title is almost over after Red Bull's
:13:33. > :13:37.Sebastian Vettel took victory at the European Grand Prix. The
:13:37. > :13:42.defending champion's now won six of the first eight races of the season
:13:42. > :13:46.and is well clear of the chasing pack, as Nick Parrot reports. He's
:13:46. > :13:51.led the season from the start and he'll surely be leading at the
:13:51. > :13:55.finish. It was the usual story for Sebastien Vettel, from poll
:13:55. > :13:59.position, he zoomed away and the rest was soon docked in his wing
:13:59. > :14:02.mirror. Among them, Lewis Hamilton, recently criticised for his
:14:02. > :14:06.aggressive style, he began tentatively, passed by both
:14:06. > :14:10.Ferraris on his way to fourth place. After the drenching and drama of
:14:10. > :14:15.the last race in Canada where he was overtaken on the final lap,
:14:16. > :14:20.this was a sun-soaked stroll for Vettel. The real contest was for
:14:20. > :14:24.second, as Alonso swooped past Webber, much to the delight of his
:14:24. > :14:29.home crowd. He was never going to catch the
:14:29. > :14:33.world champion though. 11 seconds clear and in a class of his own.
:14:33. > :14:37.COMMENTATOR: Utterly dominant performance yet again from
:14:37. > :14:42.Sebastian Vettel. Better than anything you could imagine. Such a
:14:42. > :14:45.nice race! Vettel now lieds the Championship by a whopping 77
:14:45. > :14:49.points -- leads the Championship. We are not half way through the
:14:49. > :14:53.season, but it looks unlikely he'll give up his title.
:14:53. > :14:57.There was more Derby disappointment for the Queen today after failing
:14:57. > :15:01.to claim victory at Epsom two weeks ago, Her Majesty's horse Carlton
:15:01. > :15:05.House could only finish fourth in the Irish version at the Curragh.
:15:05. > :15:11.It was Treasure Beach that won by three quarters of a length, heading
:15:11. > :15:15.up with one, two, three finish for trainer Aidan O'Brien, with Seville
:15:15. > :15:18.second and Memphis Tennessee in third.
:15:18. > :15:22.Penal who applyed in the second round of tickets for next year's
:15:22. > :15:26.Olympic Games have been fieth finding out whether or not they
:15:26. > :15:31.were successful. Organisers say they've processed around 150,000
:15:31. > :15:36.applications so far and whilst the majority have now got those sought
:15:36. > :15:40.after tickets, many have once again been left disappointed. Andy Swiss
:15:40. > :15:46.reports. So, did you manage to grab a ticket
:15:46. > :15:50.second time around? The answer yet again is mixed. Pete was one of the
:15:51. > :15:55.thousands up at 6am on Friday, he was told he'd applied successfully
:15:55. > :16:00.for athletics ticket, but today he found out he hadn't got them after
:16:00. > :16:04.all. The phrase, first come first served was used repeatedly, first
:16:04. > :16:07.come first served, you were unlucky in the ballot, fair enough, but now
:16:07. > :16:11.it was first come first served but it wasn't because I must have been
:16:11. > :16:15.one of the first people to apply for the tickets and get them in the
:16:15. > :16:20.basket, yet I've not been served. Where have the tickets gone. Plenty
:16:20. > :16:25.of others will be equally frustrated. Since Friday morning,
:16:25. > :16:29.150,000 people applied for tickets, but 15,000 of them, around 10%,
:16:29. > :16:34.didn't actually get any. Why? Because the system couldn't keep up.
:16:34. > :16:39.Ten sports sold out in the first two hours. But in some cases, you
:16:39. > :16:43.could still book tickets when there were actually none left.
:16:43. > :16:48.It meant many who thought they'd potentially see Usain Bolt in the
:16:48. > :16:52.heats had been left disappointed. But the sheer appetite for Olympic
:16:52. > :16:56.tickets continues to amaze. I can't think in my lifetime of another
:16:56. > :16:59.event, domestically, internationally, certainly not
:16:59. > :17:02.another Olympic Games, that's had such a massive demand. I guess
:17:02. > :17:07.that's why we went to Singapore, to bring the Games back here, knowing
:17:07. > :17:11.that people really wanted to be a part of them. Over a million more
:17:11. > :17:16.seats will be available next year. At the moment, only football,
:17:16. > :17:20.volley ball and wrestling are still for sale, although grappling with
:17:20. > :17:25.the ticket system is proving just as tricky.
:17:25. > :17:32.And, after the traditional day off today, play resumes at Wimbledon
:17:32. > :17:34.tomorrow when Andy mur lay takes on the world number 30 from France --
:17:35. > :17:38.Murray. That is for a place in the quarter-finals. Thank you.
:17:38. > :17:41.Fingers crossed. Thank you very much. A reminder of tonight's main
