Good afternoon. Chains to the way nast staff are trained are to be

recommended by an inquiry into deaths at stopt to. The Sunday

Telegraph says it will call for managers to be replaced. The

failures in standard of care inside Stafford Hospital are well

documented. It was what was happening outside, the system in

place to sot problems which is at issue sh hundreds of patients died

as a result of their treatment over four years from 2005. The Sunday

Telegraph claim a public inquiry will demand sweeping reforms, it

says Robert Francis will describe a culture of fear in which pressure

is piled on staff to put the demands of managers before the

needs of nay shents. It claims the report will call for greater

regulation of management and overhaul of training for nurse,

Bella Bailey died at Stafford Hospital in town 7. Her daughter

led calls for the inquiry. We are pleased that they are talking about

accountability in the NHS, that is wa we have been asking for, until

there is can't built this poor care will continue. Last week the Prime

Minister announced a new scheme to improve care in England. Patients

will be asked to recommend services to friends and family. Stafford

Hospital says the care it offers has improved. A public inquiry is

expected to reveal its findings. The department for health says any

comments are pure speculation. David Cameron says the Government

has a full tank of gas and is going full steam ahead to deliver the

policies it promised at the last selection. He defended cuts to

child benefit payments that come into effect at midnight, insists

they are fair. Taking away child benefit from people earning over

�60,000, that is only the top 15% of the country, I am not saying

they are rich, but you know it is right they make a contribution.

Families where they are far from rich. I made that point. But this

will raise �2 billion a year, if we don't raise that �2 billion from

that group of people, the better off 15% in the country, we would

have to find somewhere else to take it from. Our political

correspondent is here. Back to business for the Government

tomorrow? Yes the coalition want to put across the idea they have a lot

more to offer and so tomorrow there will be a joint press conference

from David Cameron and Nick Clegg, there will be a review which will

outline areas they feel they are making progress, in deficit

reduction, immigration, those kinds of thing, there will be a to do

list of what they want to do, so reforming the state pension,

reforming social care, the way we pay for elderly care. There have

been difficult times for the coalition, so this is an

opportunity to show unity, but Labour have said it is another

relaunch. The Syrian President Bashir has called for a full

moblaition making his first public appearance he said it was time for

every citizen to help defend Syria from what he called terrorists.

Increasingly embattled he maybe but greeted by his supporter, President

Assad was defiant. In a speech lasting nearly an hours he called

for national mobilisation and a new process of dialogue. He rejected

talking to the rebel, who he called criminal, terrorists and puppets of

the west, while praising the countries who were standing against

western interference. TRANSLATION: We thank all these

countries at the forefront. Russia, China and Iran and all the country

tris that have stood with Syria against interference with our

affair, we salute and are grateful for the stances of these countries.

The reaction of his audience may have been good but there is little

new to attract critics or opponent to bring a halt to a conflict in

which the UN estimate has cost some 60,000 lives. There has ban third

consecutive night of violence in well fast. Predators threw missiles

at the police who responded with water cannon. The trouble flared
