:01:02. > :01:07.over Italy in the Six Nations. Good evening. The Government is
:01:07. > :01:10.warning there maybe more bad news to come in the investigation of the
:01:10. > :01:14.contamination of beef products, once test results are revealed
:01:14. > :01:18.later this week. The Environment Secretary was speaking after an
:01:18. > :01:22.emergency meeting in London with food retailers and suppliers. Owen
:01:22. > :01:25.Paterson said retailers hold the ultimate responsibility for
:01:25. > :01:30.ensuring there is no horsemeat in their products. Emma Simpson has
:01:30. > :01:34.the latest. From the field to the fork. The
:01:34. > :01:38.story of contaminated beef products has unful gulfed a host of big
:01:38. > :01:42.names and with further tests already under way, the fear is that
:01:42. > :01:46.more horsemeat will probably be found. Today retailers were
:01:46. > :01:53.summoned to discuss the scandal, where they agreed to do more
:01:53. > :01:59.regular testing for horse DNA and report the results. We have this
:01:59. > :02:02.extraordinary international network, distributing food ingredients
:02:02. > :02:07.around not just Europe but the world and I am keen that more of
:02:07. > :02:11.this is tested on its way through the process, and less is taken on
:02:11. > :02:16.trust that the piece of paper attached to the palette is correct.
:02:16. > :02:20.Consumers want good-quality food but when it comes to mass-produced
:02:20. > :02:25.meat products, the supply chain can be incredibly complex. Too complex
:02:25. > :02:29.says the boss of Morrison's, who was at today's meeting We are
:02:29. > :02:35.firmly in the camp that you keep it simple. We own our abattoirs. We
:02:35. > :02:40.own our meat processing plants. So, we have full traceability. The UK
:02:40. > :02:46.has moved away, in the search for cheap food but cheap food, there
:02:46. > :02:49.are risks involved. And it is now a Europe-wide problem. Findus meals
:02:49. > :02:53.have been withdrawn in France. This is where the contamination was
:02:53. > :02:57.found at its supplier. Products have been taken off the shelves in
:02:58. > :03:03.Sweden too, but it may not end there. Its supplier had clients in
:03:03. > :03:07.many countries. We now know the horsemeat nound this lasagne came
:03:07. > :03:10.from Romania. -- found in this lasagne. How it got there is still
:03:10. > :03:16.unclear. Findus believes this was no accident and is planning legal
:03:16. > :03:20.action. It also took out newspaper adverts to try to restore its
:03:20. > :03:25.reputation. Trust across the whole food industry, it seems, has taken
:03:25. > :03:31.a knock. Well you kind of lose confidence in pre-bought things.
:03:31. > :03:35.You don't know where it is coming from. I always read the food Labour
:03:35. > :03:41.to see what it contains but you can't trust them. I buy off the
:03:41. > :03:45.butchers. Tests are supposed to be completed by Friday. Regaining
:03:45. > :03:50.public confidence may take far longer. No-one will be expected to
:03:50. > :03:54.pay more than �75,000 for their elderly personal care in England
:03:54. > :03:58.from 2017 according to Government sources. The details are part of
:03:58. > :04:01.reforms of the social care system, which will be unveiled on Monday.
:04:01. > :04:05.The figure, which doesn't include the cost of food or accommodation,
:04:05. > :04:08.is much higher than that recommended by a Government-
:04:08. > :04:16.submissioned report on the issue and has been criticised by campaign
:04:16. > :04:20.groups. They say old age doesn't come alone
:04:20. > :04:24.and increasingly it does come with a high bill attached. One of the
:04:24. > :04:27.most divisive issues at the last election was how to prevent
:04:27. > :04:31.pensioners from having to sell their homes to pay for personal
:04:31. > :04:36.care. So, on Monday the Government will announce their intention to
:04:36. > :04:41.place a life-time limit on the costs. They say this will be set at
:04:41. > :04:44.�75,000 although this would apply only to the cost of care, not the
:04:44. > :04:50.cost of accommodation in a residential home. Currently, anyone
:04:50. > :04:54.in England who has assets, including their home, worth more
:04:54. > :04:57.than �23,250, gets no state help. So, an independent body, set up by
:04:57. > :05:01.the Government, the Dilnot Commission, suggested this should
:05:01. > :05:08.rise to �100,000. On Monday the Government will announce it will go
:05:08. > :05:13.up even further, to �123,000. But, Dilnot also said ideally no-one
:05:13. > :05:18.should pay more than �35,000 and at most �50,000 towards the cost of
:05:18. > :05:22.their own care. That's lower than the Government's cap.
:05:22. > :05:25.On Monday both Conservative and Lib Dem ministers will set out to prove
:05:25. > :05:30.they can work together on the really big issues by trumpeting
:05:30. > :05:35.that care costs in England will be capped for the first time. But,
:05:35. > :05:40.don't hold your breath. This wouldn't happen until after the
:05:40. > :05:44.next general election in 2017. Although this idea proved
:05:44. > :05:47.politically controversial in the past, the coalition are now likely
:05:47. > :05:51.to announce that some care costs can be deferred until after death.
:05:51. > :05:54.But critics say the Government should take a different approach.
:05:54. > :05:58.This is the wrong priority at the wrong time. The poorest pensioners
:05:58. > :06:01.in the current care system are in crisis. They face sub-standard care,
:06:01. > :06:05.neglect, abuse. We are not investing properly in that system.
:06:05. > :06:09.Before we go to home owners who don't want to lose their savings it
:06:09. > :06:14.pay for care, as important as they are, deal with the most vulnerable
:06:14. > :06:20.people. In the long run we're all debt but increasing longevity has
:06:20. > :06:23.given politicians the tricky challenge of how to fund a bigger
:06:23. > :06:27.care bill. Iain is with me. What more details
:06:27. > :06:31.are we aware of at this stage? certainly isdy. It is certainly
:06:31. > :06:35.complicated. It has proved, as we saw, politically controversial in
:06:35. > :06:39.the past. As we said the Government intends to cap care costs at
:06:39. > :06:43.�75,000 in England. In Scotland there is free personal care already.
:06:43. > :06:49.That cap is set at 2017 prices when the Government intend to introduce
:06:49. > :06:53.this, not at today's prices. They say at today's prices it is closer
:06:53. > :06:55.to �60,000, so perhaps closer than what was recommended by the Dilnot
:06:55. > :06:59.Commission but still higher than recommendations received. They are
:06:59. > :07:03.saying around �100,000 people will get more help from the state for
:07:03. > :07:07.the cost of care than they are doing now. It is a radical reform
:07:07. > :07:10.saying that the cap, at any level will give people the ability it
:07:10. > :07:16.plan for retirement. They say it is rad Kcampaigners would have liked
:07:16. > :07:21.an awful lot more. -- they say it is radical. Yes, they are saying
:07:22. > :07:24.the idea of a �57,000 cap could be misleading. It covers the costs of
:07:24. > :07:27.personal care it. Doesn't cover the cost of accommodation in a care
:07:28. > :07:31.home, for example, or the cost of food you might eat there.
:07:31. > :07:36.Campaigners are saying on Monday, when we get the detail, pour over
:07:36. > :07:41.it with a fine tooth comb, because there maybe other complications, so
:07:41. > :07:44.people in the end could pay a lot more than the �7 5thued which the
:07:44. > :07:48.Government say they are guaranteeing. -- �75,000.
:07:48. > :07:53.More than three feet of snow has fallen in just a few hours on
:07:53. > :07:56.America's east coast, cutting power supplies and leaving people
:07:56. > :08:03.stranded. Five states have declared a state of emergency and many
:08:03. > :08:07.residents have been urged to stay indoors. From New York, here's
:08:07. > :08:11.Rajesh Mirchandani. It is quite a job shoveling out after around 18
:08:11. > :08:16.hours of heavy snowfall. This is the state of Connecticut, which was
:08:16. > :08:20.worst-hit. This has been a record- breaking storm with snowfalls
:08:20. > :08:24.reported as great as 38 inches. Right now our main priority is to
:08:24. > :08:28.clear roads. There have been several fatalities, including an
:08:28. > :08:32.11-year-old boy in Massachusetts. He was keeping warm in a car with
:08:32. > :08:36.the engine on, but the exhaust pipe was clogged with snow and he died
:08:36. > :08:39.from the fumes. The impact of this storm has been
:08:39. > :08:46.dramatic. One of the busiest regions in the world has been
:08:46. > :08:52.forced into partial shutdown. It's been tough. No doubt about it.
:08:52. > :08:55.Thousands of flights were cancelled stranding many drivers. On Long
:08:55. > :08:58.Island some drivers were forced to sleep in their cars as road
:08:58. > :09:02.conditions worsened overnight and electricity was knocked out to more
:09:02. > :09:08.than 600,000 homes. Morning in New York City brought better news than
:09:08. > :09:13.expected. The storm here wasn't as bad as they feared. Still, the
:09:13. > :09:16.Governor of New York State today said this area is getting too much
:09:16. > :09:21.experience of disaster management. In streets like this, they know
:09:21. > :09:24.that only too well. Many of these houses are still clearing up after
:09:24. > :09:29.Hurricane sandy last October. have a lot of machines that were
:09:30. > :09:34.taken out. This is all from sandy as well? Yes. Louis lived without
:09:34. > :09:38.heat and electricity for several days after sandy. Now he is facing
:09:38. > :09:43.another clean-up. Floss way I could have prevented this or sandy. --
:09:43. > :09:47.there's no way. So you just deal with it. You deal with what life
:09:47. > :09:52.throws you. It doesn't help to have another one so soon, though? No, it
:09:52. > :09:57.does not. Absolutely not. Nothing stops this city for long. Now they
:09:57. > :10:00.are getting all-too familiar with punishing storms.
:10:00. > :10:04.Here, the Health Secretary has said police should look at the evidence
:10:04. > :10:09.from the public inquiry into the death of hundreds of people in the
:10:09. > :10:13.Mid Staffordshire NHS scandal. In a newspaper interview, Jeremy Hunt
:10:13. > :10:17.said it was absolutely outrageous that nobody had been brought to
:10:17. > :10:20.book for the failings at Stafford Hospital. Five other hospitals in
:10:20. > :10:24.England are now to be investigated following that inquiry.
:10:24. > :10:28.Barclays is to close a part of its business which helped clients avoid
:10:28. > :10:32.tax. The move is part of a strategic review which will be
:10:32. > :10:36.published on Tuesday, alongside full-year results. The BBC
:10:36. > :10:41.understands that Barclays will no longer engage in activities which
:10:41. > :10:43.are carried out, primarily for tax benefits.
:10:43. > :10:50.The police officer killed in Northern Ireland when the car she
:10:50. > :10:55.was travelling in was struck by a stolen vehicle, has been named, as
:10:55. > :10:59.Philipa Reynolds. The 27-year-old was on routine patrol in
:10:59. > :11:01.Londonderry when the stolen vehicle jumped a red traffic light. Police
:11:01. > :11:05.have arrested two men who fled the scene.
:11:05. > :11:10.The funeral has been held of a teenage girl who was shot dead a
:11:10. > :11:15.week after she performed as President Obama's inauguration.
:11:15. > :11:25.Michelle Bam Bam was among the mourners in Chicago -- Michelle
:11:25. > :11:28.

:11:32. > :11:37.America's First Lady, returning to a Chicago neighbourhood where she
:11:37. > :11:42.and her husband still own a home and where, in front of a packed
:11:42. > :11:46.congregation, she comforted the distraught mother of a murdered 14-
:11:46. > :11:50.year-old girl. Hadiya Pendleton loved dance, volleyball and reading.
:11:50. > :11:55.She was a high school majorette and had taken part in the President's
:11:55. > :12:00.inauguration a week before being shot dead. You don't know how hard
:12:00. > :12:10.this really. And those of you that do know how hard this is, I'm sorry.
:12:10. > :12:13.
:12:13. > :12:16.I'm sorry. No mother, no father should ever have to experience this.
:12:16. > :12:20.Well, this is where Hadiya Pendleton was killed, in broad
:12:20. > :12:24.daylight on a Tuesday afternoon. She was with friends. They had
:12:24. > :12:28.taken shelter here during a rainstorm. The person who killed
:12:28. > :12:33.her came from over in the corner there, jumping over the fence,
:12:33. > :12:38.opening fire, apparently mistaking the group for rival gangs members.
:12:38. > :12:45.Gun murders were at a ten-year high here in January. 42 of them in one
:12:45. > :12:48.city in a nation still debating whether new gun laws are needed.
:12:48. > :12:53.She's important because all those other people who died are important.
:12:53. > :12:56.She is a representative, not just of the people of Chicago. She's a
:12:56. > :13:02.representative of the people across this nation who have lost their
:13:02. > :13:12.lives. An uplifting farewell, rooted in a conviction, that in
:13:12. > :13:13.
:13:13. > :13:18.death one teenager can be a force for change.
:13:18. > :13:23.Now, let's take a look at all today's sporting action. Let's
:13:23. > :13:27.cross over to Lizzie Greenwood- Hughes at the BBC's Sport Centre.
:13:27. > :13:31.Good evening. Wales and Scotland bupbz back with victories on the
:13:31. > :13:35.second weekend of rugby's Six Nations. -- bounce back. Wales end
:13:35. > :13:40.a long run of defeats to beat France in Paris and Scotland
:13:40. > :13:42.recorded their first win in the tournament for two years with a 34-
:13:42. > :13:46.10 victory over Italy at Murrayfield.
:13:46. > :13:52.When you are not winning the Six Nations can be an overwhelming
:13:52. > :13:57.experience. Off the back of a defeat to England, Scotland faced a
:13:57. > :14:06.resurgent Italy. Yet they didn't take fright, the Scots recreating
:14:06. > :14:13.what they saw -- we saw as glimpses at Twickenham.
:14:13. > :14:20.An Italy team that had beaten France less than a week ago were
:14:20. > :14:27.powerless after adviser's try. Hogg then turned defence into
:14:27. > :14:33.attack in one incredible run. COMMENTATOR: Another sensational
:14:33. > :14:37.score from the Scottish fullback. Scotland hn rediscovered something
:14:37. > :14:42.at Murrayfield. Lamont pinched the ball and another try from under
:14:42. > :14:46.Italy's noses. A late, lonely Italian score could not reduce the
:14:46. > :14:52.significance of this victory. Wales and France both began the
:14:52. > :14:56.tournament with defeat. That meant for a turgid start to their meeting.
:14:56. > :15:01.The turf gave way but neither defence budged. The match was
:15:01. > :15:04.dominated by braun and boo. Both sides exchanged penalties with no
:15:04. > :15:09.sign of anything more adventurous until the final ten minutes.
:15:09. > :15:15.North's try a movement finesse. It proved to be Wales' winning move,
:15:15. > :15:19.snatched in the face of stalemate. In the women's Six Nations, the
:15:19. > :15:22.defending champions, England, were thrashed 25-0 by Ireland. It's
:15:22. > :15:26.their first defeat in the competition for four years. There
:15:26. > :15:29.were seven games in the Premier League today. Match of the Day
:15:29. > :15:36.follow this programme, so if you don't want to know the scores, this
:15:36. > :15:41.is your chance to leave the home. And there was an upset at St Mary's
:15:41. > :15:45.as second-placed Manchester City were beaten 3-1 by Southampton,
:15:45. > :15:48.Gareth Barry scoring an own goal. City remain nine points behind
:15:48. > :15:51.league leaders, Manchester United, who play tomorrowment
:15:51. > :15:57.In today's other results, Chelsea notch up their first win in five
:15:57. > :16:03.games with a 4-1 victory over Wigan at home. Arsenal survived having a
:16:03. > :16:07.at home. Arsenal survived having a player sent off to beat Sunderland.
:16:07. > :16:10.QPR lost to Swansea. Gareth Bale scored both Tottenham's goals in
:16:11. > :16:15.their win over Newcastle. In Scotland Celtic have moved 18
:16:15. > :16:18.points clear at the top of the SPL after beating Inverness Caledonian
:16:18. > :16:24.Thistle, their nearest rivals. The Scottish champions came from a gel
:16:24. > :16:31.down to score three times, including this goal from Miku.
:16:31. > :16:38.England's cricketers are off to a good start on their tour to New
:16:38. > :16:44.Zealand with a a recording-breaking score. They hit 14 sixes and made
:16:44. > :16:50.their highest ever T20 total. The captain, steward Broad took four
:16:50. > :16:56.wickets to beat the home side. And Great Britain's women's tennis
:16:56. > :17:00.team are through to the next round of the federation Cup. They'll play
:17:00. > :17:04.Bulgaria tomorrow for a place in the world group play-off. That's
:17:04. > :17:08.the sport for now. Now, millions of people are
:17:08. > :17:14.celebrating lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year, of
:17:14. > :17:20.course. It is the most important annual holiday in much of Asia.
:17:20. > :17:24.And the celebrations began in China, with firework displays marking the
:17:24. > :17:28.start of the Year of the Snake, taking over from the dragon.
:17:28. > :17:34.Just a reminder of the main headline here tonight: consumers
:17:34. > :17:37.are being warned that tests for horsemeat in food could yield more
:17:37. > :17:40.bad results, as the Environment Secretary put it. And time to tell
