The Government goes back to work, promising to boost construction and

kick-start the economy. The Chancellor says he'll bring in new

laws to rush projects through the planning system. We have to do more

and have to do it faster. Within the next couple of weeks you will

see us introducing to Parliament legislation to speed up planning

decisions, to speed up the processes. Britain's best day yet

at the Paralympics. But there was a shock for Oscar Pistorius.

16 whales die as rescuers battle to Good evening. The Chancellor has

and economic growth. George Osborne says he'll bring in new laws to

reform the planning system. He is promising to underwrite major

infrastructure projects. The weekend is expected to see the

Prime Minister's first full-scale reshuffle. Labour says the

Government has run out of ideas. Britain can deliver - that, say

ministers, is the message from the successful staging of the Olympic

and Paralympic games. So the Government will back more major

projects, hoping to drag the economy out of the dull drums to a

golden future. The Chancellor insisted today that the economy was

healing, but there was no easy route to a magical recovery.

have to up the tempo of development and activity in this country. This

country faces a big question about its future in the world and whether

it's about our school system, our welfare system or about the kind of

infrastructure we have - have we got the appetite, as a country, to

make the changes necessary, to provide the jobs, not just for

today, but for our children and grandchildren? What ideas have

ministers come up with? The Government will use low interest

rates to guarantee infrastructure investment. That will include new

homes w guarantees up to �10 billion. There'll be a new rule on

planning. David Cameron has expressed frustration with the

planning system and says he is determined to cut through the

dither that holds the country back. It is sure to worry campaigners,

concerned developers will be given the go ahead to concrete over the

greenbelt. Labour accuses the Government of creating uncertainty.

They published a new National Planning Policy Framework, back in

March, which local authorities have been working to ensure they are

complyent with by April. Now we will see them throwing all the

chips up in the air again. That makes it impossible to plan. What

is the reaction from small businesses? We have concerned this

will not have an impact in the short-term.

This will come on stream in over a year. It has not been an easy

summer for the coalition, but David Cameron and Nick Clegg say they are

determined to unite around proposals to get the economy moving.

Any more detail on these planning reforms and how they will work?

think they will be the most controversial thing to look out for

in the next couple of weeks. That review in March, which slimmed down

the rules and regulations over planning, that was controversial. A

lot of Tory MPs complaining people were unhappy about the effect on

local communities and building on the greenbelt. David Cameron is

clearly frustrated with the process. We are told they will look at the

appeals process, the judicial appeal, the way it can drag on for

several years. At the same time, all this talk of a Cabinet

reshuffle - is that likely within the next couple of days? I think we

could get it as early as Tuesday. When you look at the list of the

top names in particular, it seems there will not be that much

movement. George Osborne, as Chancellor, very likely to stay.

William Hague as Foreign Secretary. I think the Tories will look for a

new party chairman to get their message across. There'll be a

return to ministerial office for David Laws. The thing to look out

for in the junior ranks is really how far David Cameron will go in

promoting people from the right of the party to keep his backbenchers

happy. Thank you. Now, Britain's Paralympians have

had their best day yet of the Games, winning six gold medals.

Tonight, in the stadium, one of the stars of these Games, South

Africa's Oscar Pistorius has just lost his 200 metre title in a

sensational race. He is the best known Paralympian of

them all. Tonight we saw that Pistorius is beatable N the 200

metres it was a Brazilian who had the better finishing speed.

Pistorius had to settle for silver, complaining afterwards that it had

not been a fair race, due to the extra length of his opponent's

blades. Day four of the Games and the British team has won more

athletics golds than in Beijing. Aled Davies has limited

functionality in his right leg, but this is what he can do with his

right arm. The 21-year-old's celebration was impressive too.

When he had just won in front of your home crowd there's no point in

holding back. Mum was on hand for a congratulatory kiss and some hasty

make-up removal. He had calmed down when we met up. He showed us how

much winning meant to him. It was raw emotion. I was sad, happy, I

was upset. So many things going on. It was my natural instinct. I

wanted to go around and thank every individual person for coming out.

He had one more surprise to come at this evening's medal ceremony.

Look who was waiting for him! If you are an athlete days don't get

any better than this. Aled Davies put his studies on hold

to train. As the Duchess of Cambridge placed a gold medal

around his neck, he could be pretty sure he had made the right decision.

There had to be a British winner the final of the tandem sprint. In

the end, it was Anthony Kappes and clean clean clean who won gold.

-- Craig McLane who won gold. Jessica-Jane Applegate became the

first disabled member of the team to win gold at these Games. She set

a new record. One person's joy is another's disappointment. Will

Bailey collapsed to the floor after losing the table tennis final. His

opponent came over to console him. Well, today's haul means Paralympic

GB is second in the medals table. Police searching the Norfolk broads

for a missing man and woman have found two bodies. The alarm was

raised last night when a 13-year- old girl was found alone on a

holiday hire boat. Detectives are not looking for anyone else in

connection with the deaths. The girl was unharmed and is being

comforted by relatives. A British man and his son have drowned off

the coast of Majorca. It happened at Cala Antena n the south-east of

the island. It is understood the boy was swept into the sea. His

father jumped in after him, but both of them drowned. They have

been named locally as George Selby and his son, Louie.

In Pakistan, a Muslim cleric has been arrested for attempting to

frame a 14-year-old Christian girl with learning difficulties who is

accused of burning the core Ron. The Imam has been detained on

suspicion of planting the evidence. Supporters hope she will be freed

tomorrow. Blindfolded and thronged by police,

the Imam was brought to court. An accuser now himself the accused.

His deputy claims he planted pages of the Koran among burnt papers

said to have been carried by the girls. Witnesses said he claimed

this was how to get Christians out of the area. He now is accused of

blasphemy. The Imam is now being rushed away. Rimsha's supporters

hope this arrest will be crucial. They believe that the case against

her could now collapse completely. At the very least, they hope she

will be released on bail. They insist she should never have been

in prison in the first place. Just two days ago, Rimsha herself was

brought to court, hidden under a sheet. Doctors say she is just 14,

with a lower mental age. Her family say she has struggled with learning

difficulties all her life and is now completely traumatised.

And the trauma extends to other members of Pakistan's small

Christian community. They have been praying for Rimsha and for

themselves, worrying who might be next. It is very, very sad. It is a

very depressing situation that suddenly people are accused and you

being separate from the sheep. You know? Sometimes I feel helpless.

Their prayers might be answered. There is increasing hope that

Rimsha will be freed. There are real concerns for her safety.

South African prosecutors have provisionally dropped murdered

charges against 270 mine workers. They have been blamed for the

deaths of 34 of their colleagues who were shot by the police. There

had been a public overcry to use an apartheid era law with murder.

Despite all the fatal shots, apparently, come from the police.

16 pilot whales have died off the coast of Fife, after becoming

stranded in shallow water. Marine experts battled to save another ten

whales, successfully refloating them and helping them to swim out

to sea at high tide. This rescue effort was a race

against time. The emergency services and marine

life experts had only 12 hours to get these whales back into the

water before their internal organs would start to fail. Hundreds of

people gathered to try and help. Sadly, it was too late for some,

including three young calves. For those left alive, rescuers knew

they had a window at high tide. They gathered the pod together in

the shallows. One thrashed free. The others finally managed to set

off together. Because so many have died, it could be that some have

been on too long. Signs are saying those are good.

Now it is really up to them whether they stay away or not. Marine

experts are not sure why the whales are here. They can only guess that

they followed a sick or dying member of the pod.

The fear is they will not stay out in the depths of the North Sea.

We have been told there is only a 50/50 chance that those ten whales

will survive in the longer term. The real hope is that they will

join with a pod whales up the coast from here and will work together to

stay safe. This coast of coastline will be carefully monitored over

the next 24 hours to try and keep these whales alive.

The founder of the Unification Church, Sun Myung Moon, has died in

South Korea at the age of 92. The Church, whose members are popularly

known as Moonies was founded by Reverend Moon in 1954. It held mass

weddings made up of thousands of followers.

A self-proclaimed man who turned his Unification Church into a

worldwide religion within 50 years. This is what Sun Myung Moon's

church will be best remembered for - mass weddings, where many

strangers married in ceremonies like this. The quickest way to

world peace, according to Reverend Moon. Born in 1920, Sun Myung Moon

claimed God had chosen him to establish the kingdom of heaven on

Earth. He founded the Church in 1954, after surviving the Korean

war. His followers, popularly called "Moonies." Shared his belief

in marriage. The Church was accused of brainwashing its members, and

lining the pockets of members. Moon become a wealthy man. He spent 11

months behind bars. His fervent speeches brought him followers

around if world. In later years the Church adopted a lower profile and

focused on building a business empire in the US and in North and

South Korea. Believes a church which claims millions of members

worldwide. A claim strongly disputed and a legacy which is

every bit as controversial. Now you have had the Paralympics

news already, let's get other sports news with Katie Gornall.

Jenson Button claimed his second victory of the Formula One season

today after winning the Belgium Grand Prix. There was drama from

the first corner with Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso both

crashing out. Romain Grosjean has been given a one-race ban for

causing the pile-up. Spa has a notorious reputation for accidents.

With bright sunshine, few would have predicted this. THE

COMMENTATOR: Hamilton's contract. Oh, he's hit the Lotus. Over the

top of Alonso. After a five-week summer break

Romain Grosjean's enthusiasm to get ahead in his lue tus saw him push

Lewis Hamilton wide. Fernando Alonso didn't realise just how

close he came to disaster until he watched replays. I felt like a

train coming, a big hit and looking at the image, we were determining,

so you can a problem in your hand or your head, because the car was

so close. I think we broke everything on top of the car. It

was lucky on that aspect. Start from pole for the first time in

three years allowed Jenson Button to steer clear of any drama. This

pit stop equalled the record for the fastest. That kept him away

from Vettel, who fought his way up from tenth to finish second. His

first win since the opening race of the season puts him back in the

hunt for a second world title. It was an eventful after. Match of

the Day 2 follows the news here on BBC One. If you do not want to know

the scores then it is time to leave the room for a moment. Robin Van

Persie scored a dramatic hat trick for Manchester United as they came

from behind to beat Southampton 3-2. He missed a penalty.

Arsenal have their first win and goals, after beating Liverpool 2-0.

Brendan Rodgers's side were condemned to their worst start to

the league in 50 years. And Hatem Ben Arfa hit a stunning equaliser

for Newcastle United. Motherwell have moved to the top of the

Premier League after beating Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Michael Higdon scored a hat trick for Stuart McCall's side, in their

4-1 bin. A penalty from Ryan Conroy was enough to give Dundee victory

against Hearts. Craig Kieswetter hit the winning

runs in the cricket, in some style for England who chased down their

target of 221, with six wickets to spare.
