David Cameron says Britain is on the right track in his New Year | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
message. The Prime Minister admits 2012 has been tough, but insists | :00:12. | :00:21. | |
people can look ahead with optimism. There are no quick-fixes. I | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
wouldn't claim otherwise. We can be optimistic, too. We are making | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
tangible progress. The family of a church organist | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
attacked on his way to midnight mass speak about their grief. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |

Good evening. The Prime Minister says that Britain is heading in the | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
right direction. In his New Year message, David Cameron says the | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
country is making tangible progress, and that people can look forward to | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
next year with optimism. Labour has responded that Mr Cameron is out of | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:34. | ||
touch, and that Britain's economy is failing under his policies. | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
2012 was a tough year, says David Cameron, with in many families | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
finding it hard. He insists things are on the right track for the | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
future and the Government is heading in the right direction. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
can look to the future with realism and optimism. Realism because you | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
can't cure problems that were decades in the making overnight. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
There are no quick-fixes. I wouldn't claim otherwise. But we | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
can be optimistic, too. We are making tangible progress. The Prime | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
Minister points to what he sees as the Government's key achievements - | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
the deficit, down by a quarter, more than 1,000 new independent | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
academies and an increase in the state pension. But Labour's leader, | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
in his New Year message on Friday, has dismissed what he says is an | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
old-fashioned idea that wealth will triple down from the top. This | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
Government is a Government of broken promises and broken dreams. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
They want you to believe that we have a good Government being let | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
down by bad people. We don't. We have a bad Government that is | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
letting down the good people of this country. David Cameron's New | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
Year message doesn't mention that budget that unravelled with U-turns | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
on everything from pasties to caravans. There is no mention of | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
those three extra years of austerity that the Chancellor says | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
we are going to have to endure. As well as the obvious problem of | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
growth, Mr Cameron also faces big tests on Britain's role in Europe | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
and keeping a lid on those ever- present coalition tensions that can | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
threaten the existence of his Government. The running shoes were | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
back on over Christmas, in spite of a knee injury. He says there is no | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
time to spare. Britain is in a global race to succeed today. It's | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
a race with countries like China, India and Indonesia. A race for the | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
jobs and opportunities of the future. When people say we can slow | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
down on cutting our debts, we are saying no, we can't win in this | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
world with a great millstone of debt around our necks. No big | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
change in direction in the coming year and a hope that the country | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
will stick with his argument, even though it is hurting. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
The widow of a church organist who died after being attacked on his | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
way to midnight mass in Sheffield on Christmas Eve has been speaking | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
about her grief. At a service at the church where Alan Greaves was | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
also a lay preacher, Maureen Greaves thanked the congregation | :04:06. | :04:16. | |
for their support. Two men are being questioned on suspicion of | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
murder. And they have been released on bail. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Maureen Greaves went to church for a service at which her husband had | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
been due to play the organ. Instead, this congregation gathered to | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
remember hill. Alan Greaves was attacked on Christmas Eve as he | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
walked to St Saviour's Church. Inside the church, his widow told | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
of how her family were grieving. have never stopped crying for Alan. | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
I know you have never stopped crying with me. I have grieved over | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
the evil that's been done. I know that you too have grieved over the | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
evil. Just a street away from the church, people have been leaving | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
flowers at the spot where Mr Greaves was attacked. He suffered | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
serious head injuries and died a few days after he was found here | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
just before midnight on Christmas Eve. There has been some fear and | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
anxiety. Alan was well-known in this community as well. This | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
community and this city have lost someone who is a shining light, | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
really. He won't be easy to replace, certainly can't be replaced in his | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
family's affections. Inside church, tributes were paid to the medics | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
who tried to save the pensioner's life as well as the police. Mr | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
Greaves' family have said they want justice, not vengeance. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Army bomb disposal experts in Northern Ireland have been called | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
to deal with a suspected bomb left under the car of a policeman. The | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
device was found in an eastern district of Belfast. A number of | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
homes in the area have been evacuated. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
A senior Labour MP has warned that recent controversies have damaged | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
the public's trust in the police. Keith Vaz, who chairs the Home | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
Affairs Select Committee, says the Hillsborough Inquiry, and the so- | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
called "plebgate" row with Andrew Mitchell in Downing Street, have | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
contributed to what he described as a "dangerous cocktail". | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
The US Congress will convene later this evening in a last-minute | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
attempt to avoid a combination of deep spending cuts, and tax rises, | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
coming into effect. The measures, which have been dubbed the fiscal | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
cliff, will be triggered automatically unless a new budget | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
deal can be agreed by tomorrow. If agreement isn't reached, it's | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
feared the changes could greatly damage the US and the global | :06:40. | :06:50. | |
:06:50. | :06:52. | ||
economy. One nation with a very divided | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
government. President Obama and Congress are grappling for a deal | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
with just 36 hours before time runs out. This morning, President Obama | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
gave a final push for an agreement on his terms. If there is no deal, | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
big tax rises and heavy spending cuts will kick in automatically. | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
should keep taxes where they are for 98% of Americans, 97% of small | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
businesses, but if we are serious about deficit reduction, we should | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
make sure that the wealthier are paying a bit more and combine that | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
with spending cuts to reduce our deficit and put our economy on a | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
long-term trajectory of growth. Republicans in Congress do not | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
agree. They have said they won't vote for any tax rises, even for | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
the richest Americans. Raising taxes is not going to provide the | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
growth that we need in the country to lift the people in the middle- | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
income and lower income brackets higher and to provide the capital | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
that is necessary to invest in the markets to hire more people. | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
there is no deal, the price of failure could be high. The average | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
American family will see their taxes rise by more than $2,000 a | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
year. As money is sucked out of the economy, a second American | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
recession is thought likely to begin. And confidence in the | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
American government around the world would fall. Financial markets | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
would probably take fright. The President and Congress have had | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
months to do a deal and have spent months not getting one. Now, as | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
most people prepare for New Year, negotiators are in Congress seeing | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
if there is agreement to be found. The talk is of cautious optimism. | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
But the deadline is now very close. The latest word from the Senate is | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
that a deal is near. A basic tax package that would see off the | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
threat of the fiscal cliff. But there are splits amongst the | :08:47. | :08:57. | |
:08:57. | :09:02. | ||
Republicans. Time is running out. And Jonny is in Washington now. | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
What are the chances of avoiding that fiscal cliff? All eyes now are | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
on President Obama's political rivals, the Republicans. It does | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
start to seem as if they may be about to yield. The mood music | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
coming out of Congress, in particular out of the Upper House, | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
out of the Senate, suggests it might be able to do a deal. The | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
House of Representatives, which is the Lower House, is a more | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
difficult House. It's got more radical members who are less | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
willing to compromise on the Republican side. Even there, there | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
seems to be talk of inching towards some kind of agreement. It seems to | :09:40. | :09:49. | |
be the political analytics being made by the Republicans and they | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
think they are going to be blamed if there isn't a deal. They are | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
saying, "We won't vote for tax rises for the rich." If they don't | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
do a deal, tax rises kick in for everybody. The Republicans are | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
looking at their position. There is a logic behind them doing a deal. | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
The problem is - it is a big problem - is the Republicans in the | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
House of Representatives are split. There is a hard-core of Republicans | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
who will not under any circumstances vote for any tax rise. | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
So the question is will the Republican leadership push a deal | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
through and split their own party in the House? To that, we simply | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
don't know the answer. Thank you for now. We will find out soon | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
enough. The funeral has taken place of a | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
young woman who was raped and beaten by a gang of men on bus in | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
Delhi. The 23-year-old medical student died in hospital in | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
Singapore where she was being treated for severe injuries. The | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
attack sparked two weeks of protests across the country about | :10:51. | :11:01. | |
:11:01. | :11:04. | ||
attitudes towards women in India. There is a quiet focused anger in | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
the air as protests continue over the savage rape of the Indian woman | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
they are called Braveheart. An effigy has become the centrepiece | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
after her funeral today. The 23- year-old was due to marry the man | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
she was with when she was attacked and he was badly injured. Her body | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
was flown back in darkness to a country still struggling with what | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
this murder has revealed about itself. India's Prime Minister was | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
there to receive the flight. Her cremation was held in secret under | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
heavy police guard. The authorities anxious about the public mood. | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
There were brief scuffles during the day in Delhi. It's the | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
government that is under pressure, accused of being deaf to women's | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
rights. They are talking about increased policing, they are | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
talking about judiciary, they are talking about convictions. The key | :11:59. | :12:07. | |
point that remains - are we ready to change our mindsets? Not just | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
women, and young and old have been joining the protests. This crime is | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
the dark side of a changing India. The young student is an example of | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
the modern face, the country prefers the world to see. That | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
India is in conflict with another, where women are still treated as | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
second-class citizens, where many men still regard rape as something | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
women have to put up. That India is not going to fade away quickly. | :12:36. | :12:46. | |

During the day, another girl was assaulted on a Delhi bus. | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
Most of us spent less on Christmas shopping this year than last, | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
according to research by the consumer group Which?. The study | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
also found that nearly half of shoppers used credit cards, | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
overdrafts, or other forms of borrowing to help fund their | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
purchases. In the week before Christmas, the | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
crowds were out in force and the tills were ringing. According to | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
Which?, many consumers struggled to pay for their seasonal shopping | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
spree. The organisation interviewed 2,100 adults in the run-up to the | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
festive break. Nine out of ten of those questioned said they felt | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
under pressure to spend too much. Just under half said they had used | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
some form of debt to help them meet their bills with many claiming that | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
was the only way they could afford Christmas at all. Credit cards were | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
the most popular form of borrowing, although some relied on storecards | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
and overdrafts. This reliance on credit may be storing up trouble | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
for the future. The picture is one of declining financial resilience | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
and people are telling us they are feeling very squeezed. Borrowing on | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
credit is bad for the economy. course, not all consumers are in | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
the same boat. And not all are worried about it. Some of these | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
shoppers felt the financial strain more than others. I'm always in | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
debt! Trying to scrimp and save for the next pay cheque. It is hard. | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
are retired and we live within our means. Living within your means | :14:23. | :14:33. | |
:14:33. | :14:34. | ||
means that you don't overspend. have slight overspent. This isn't | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
just a problem for consumers. The retail industry says Christmas | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
sales were acceptable. If spending dries up over the next few months, | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
life on the High Street could become very tough indeed. What this | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
survey suggests is that while Christmas may have provided some | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
short-term relief from the general financial gloom, for many the | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
seasonal celebrations are likely to be followed by a painful New Year | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
hangover of debt. That may weigh on the economy for months to come. | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
Sport now and for a full round-up of all the day's action, here's | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
Olly Foster at the BBC Sport Centre. Chelsea will finish the year third | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
in the Premier League table after their 2-1 win at Everton. Elsewhere, | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
QPR end 2012 stuck to the bottom. They were at home to Liverpool and | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
lost 3-0. Tim Hague watched both matches starting with Chelsea's win | :15:24. | :15:33. | |
at Goodison Park. The Christmas period - blue for | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
some, but not for these two. Everton and Chelsea both won their | :15:38. | :15:48. | |
:15:48. | :15:49. | ||
last two matches. 63 seconds gone, the ball was in Chelsea's net. | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
Pienaar got that one. At Liverpool, Rafael Benitez described Everton as | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
a "small club". The now comel see manager has great experience and -- | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
Chelsea manager has great experience and quality at his | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
disposal and Frank Lampard equalised. Everton then struck the | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
woodwork again. Less than three minutes later, they appeared to | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
have their answer - Frank Lampard snatching the three points for | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
Chelsea. No new contract offer for him as yet. This performance may | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
well change that. In London, Liverpool had no manager. | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
Brendan Rodgers was ill so the assistant took charge. Suarez | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
Walting his way through the QPR defence for number one. Number two | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
was equally easy. A desperate season thus far for QPR got worse - | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
a third Liverpool goal inside half an hour left Harry Redknapp and his | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
captain furious. 3-0 it ended and you suspect Colin Pascoe could get | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
used to this management business. Having Suarez in your side always | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
helps! There was just the one match in the | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
Scottish Premier League today and St Mirren have won only their | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
second away match of the season. It was at Tannadice where they beat | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
ten-man Dundee United 4-3. The referee's governing body is | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
investigating the circumstances behind a player getting booked | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
twice yesterday but not getting sent off. Mick Russell was in | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
charge of the Huddersfield v Sheffield Wednesday match, and | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
booked Jeremy Elan first for diving, then he called up the Wednesday | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
player for a foul in the first-half and booked him again, but no red | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
followed. The referee, who could face sanctions, admitted to his | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
error as Huddersfield boss Simon Grayson described the incident as | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
"staggering". Saracens are one point behind the | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
leaders Harlequins in Rugby Union's Aviva Premiership after beating | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
Northampton but only just. Sarries won 17-16 in Milton Keynes. They | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
came so close to losing. Saints' Stephen Myler had a penalty to win | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
it with the last kick of the match, but it hit the crossbar and | :18:08. | :18:17. |
