David Cameron defends his controversial plan to help home | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
buyers, as the Conservative Party conference gets underway. The Prime | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
Minister denies it will fuel a housing bubble, and says without the | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Help to Buy scheme, people's aspirations will be trashed. A | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
tourist boat catches fire on the River Thames. 30 people have been | :00:25. | :00:37. | |
rescued. Gemma holds the trophy! And Liverpool win the Women's Super | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
League title, ending Arsenal's nine year run. Good evening. David | :00:40. | :01:01. | |
Cameron has defended bringing forward a scheme allowing people to | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
take out 95% mortgages. The second phase of the controversial Help to | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Buy scheme will start next week, three months earlier than planned. | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
Speaking at the start of the Conservative Party conference in | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Manchester, the Prime Minister denied he was stoking a housing | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
bubble, and as he spoke 50 thousand people were preparing to demonstrate | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
outside the venue against the government's spending plans. James | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
Landale reports. She is no longer with us but here | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
are her memory lives on. The personality cult of Margaret | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Thatcher has survived her passing and today, the Tories gathered to | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
pay tribute. As they applauded the past, their minds turned to the | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
future and how he and they can win the majorities that Mrs Thatcher | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
enjoyed. David Cameron hopes that homes like these could help. He came | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
to a building site outside of Manchester to say that a scheme | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
would start next week, three months earlier than expected. He rejected | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
claims that it could fuel a house-buying boom. I will not stand | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
back as people's aspirations are being trashed. That is why we need | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
to act. The government will guarantee part of people's mortgages | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
so they only have two pay 5% of the value of the home. It is for | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
properties worth up to £600,000. The Prime Minister said Labour's biggest | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
idea for the cost of living with anti-competitive. What was needed | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
was more competition. The only way to sustainably raise living | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
standards is to keep the recovery going and the economy is now | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
moving. We need to create jobs and we need to cut the deficit, and we | :02:57. | :03:07. | |
need to cut people's taxes. There are clear differences between the | :03:07. | :03:18. | |
parties. The the conference centre is praising Margaret Thatcher but on | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
the streets of Manchester they are shouting Tory scum. It is quite | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
nostalgic. The police estimated 50,000 people took to the street in | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
a union backed rally to protest against spending cuts, particularly | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
to the NHS. As for Blair calls against higher taxes for the rich, | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
the Prime Minister ruled it out. Even in the hall, the Tories could | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
not escape the price of austerity as to retired soldiers heckled the | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Defence Secretary. At this conference, you cannot escape the | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
people the party says it wants to help. To win their votes, the people | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
at this conference will have to work hard as well. Our Political Editor | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
Nick Robinson is in Manchester now. It is obviously a big week for the | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
Conservatives. What will David Cameron hope to achieve over the | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
next few days? There is an internal goal. He talks of a repair job, a | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
repair job of the relationship goal. He talks of a repair job, a | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
between himself and the party who are frustrated by the compromises of | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
a coalition and fearful of the are frustrated by the compromises of | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
threat that from UKIP. That is why David Cameron has written to its own | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
members and said he does not have a working relationship with them but a | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
friendship which is based on common values. That is why you heard about | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
Margaret Thatcher and curiously, that demonstration that took place | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
helps to line the Tories. They think they know who the enemy is. He is | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
trying to tell the public that there was a deficit problem but we can | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
trying to tell the public that there help you. The housing scheme | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
promoted today. In a sense, there is real symmetry between all of the | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
parties, all of them trying to make offers, whether it is on school | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
meals or house prices. If it had not been for the law that would tell us | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
when the election would be, we would be speculating as to when it will | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
be. We have to wait, though. The British Chamber of Commerce says | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
bringing forward the second phase of the Help to Buy scheme is "less than | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
responsible." And other critics have questioned whether it will make | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
housing more affordable. Our Business Correspondent Joe Lynam has | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
more. The Help to Buy scheme was designed | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
to help borrowers get up the housing ladder but the British Chamber of | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Commerce has dismissed the scheme and said they are rushing into it. | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
Commentators say it is unwanted meddling in the market. It is clear | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
that government intervening in the markets never ends well. Recent | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
surveys have shown major divide in house price trends. While the | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
north-east has fallen by 2% over the last year, England, the Southeast | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
and London have been booming with prices up 7% in the capital. 20 | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
eight-year-old Christine Taylor Place £1400 a month on rent. She | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
would rather own but she does not have the money for a deposit. By | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
addressing affordability without supply, you now have twice as many | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
people looking at the same properties so you have a lot of | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
competition and it makes it harder to get a flat. Nat West, RBS and | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
Halifax, lenders who are state-controlled, will take part in | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
the scheme, but other big lenders are yet to decide. The government's | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
decision to bring forward the Help to Buy scheme will accelerate the | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
application process. Banks like Lloyds will process mortgages sooner | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
but they will not pay out until 2014. I like it here. Even before | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
the controversial scheme gets underway, other banks are looking | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
for new mortgage customers. The market may be curbed. | :07:26. | :07:35. | |
In Pakistan more than 30 people have been killed and 70 others injured in | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
a bomb attack in the city of Peshawar. Two blasts ripped through | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
a busy market, setting shops and vehicles alight. It's the third | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
deadly bombing in Peshawar in the past week. Here's Aleem Maqbool. | :07:45. | :07:57. | |
The historic storytellers reside in the city of Peshawar, burning and | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
bleeding. In mid-morning in the busy marketplace, please say a vehicle | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
packed with 200 kilograms of explosives was detonated. | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
TRANSLATION: I was here when there was a blast. Black smoke spread all | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
over and nothing was visible, and I saw people lying on the road. There | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
was no want to pick them up. The incident happened a few hundred | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
metres from where a suicide bomber killed hundreds a week ago in a | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
church. The main hospital in Peshawar is once again overflowing | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
with the injured. It has seen 140 dead following the attacks in the | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
last week. All this just after the Prime Minister said the government | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
wanted to talk to the militants and he was backed by other prominent | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
leaders. While the militants said they wanted to talk peace as well, | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
the killing has continued. This video appeared, apparently made by | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
the Pakistani Taliban, reportedly showing when an army jeep was blown | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
up. Should talks still go ahead? There are those in Parliament who | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
believe the only way to do ends the bloodshed is to talk to the | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
militants. With every attack, there are many Pakistanis saying there is | :09:30. | :09:45. | |
nothing to discuss. 30 people have been rescued after an | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
amphibious tourist boat caught fire on the River Thames. Some of those | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
on board jumped into the water to escape. As Andy Moore reports, it's | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
the latest in a string of accidents escape. As Andy Moore reports, it's | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
involving similar vessels. A terrifying scene played out in the | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
heart of London, close to the A terrifying scene played out in the | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
of Commons. As the fire took hold, many passengers took to the water. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Others tried to pluck up the courage to jump. We saw the tour guide and | :10:05. | :10:19. | |
the captain looked at each other. They encouraged us to put life | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
jackets on and jump off. I was worried the boat might blow up. I | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
wanted to get into the water. I knew I would be fine if I was in the | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
water. The cause of the fire is under investigation. There have been | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
previous incidents with other boats. Two separate incidents in | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
Liverpool and their licence has been revoked. A young child was allowed | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
to go home after medical treatment. Ambulance crews say they dealt with | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
30 people at the scene. Many were cold and wet after ten minutes in | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
the water. Three people were taken to hospital after minor injuries. | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
Seven people breathed in smoke. We mobilised appliances and the fire | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
boat. They work very quickly on scene. This incident happened very | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
close to a fire station on the River Thames. Rescuers were able to get to | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
the scene very quickly. One please source said, the outcome could have | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
been a lot worse. In this case, the boat was in shallow water near the | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
bank and other vessels were near at hand. It could have been very | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
different. One of England's most senior police | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
officers has called for Class A drugs to be decriminalised. Writing | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
in a Sunday newspaper, the Chief Constable of Durham Police Mike | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
Barton, also said drug addicts should be treated and cared for, | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
rather than prosecuted. Here's Luisa Baldini. | :11:44. | :11:54. | |
While the existence and consumption of drugs cannot be eradicated, the | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
war on drugs can, according to Frank Hewetson from London and Anthony | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
Perrett. -- Chief Constable of Durham Police Mike Barton. He | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
compares the situation to prohibition in the USC. Mr Barton | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
says prohibiting hard drugs, only enhances the power hold by gangs. | :12:14. | :12:23. | |
Decriminalisation is the way to wrestle it away from the gangs. He | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
says if an addict was able to access drugs by the NHS or a similar | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
organisation, then they would not have to go out and buy illegal | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
drugs. Drugs should be controlled and they should not be freely | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
available. Mike Barton's views are backed by the local Police and Crime | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
Commissioner. There will always be people who are tempted but what we | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
need to do is have a control mechanism so we can control the | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
quality of the drug and we can care for the individual and seek to | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
remove him from that addiction. Experts warn that the number of | :13:00. | :13:08. | |
users has actually fallen and a former addict is sceptical about the | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
role that the NHS could play. How about functioning Addicks or people | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
that are working? Or people that are not open about their problem? They | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
would not go to hospital to get their drugs. It is aimed at people | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
who are in the Charity services or people in the streets. The Chief | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
Constable's calls follows others around the world who say the war on | :13:35. | :13:45. | |
drugs is being lost. Now for the sport. | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
Thank you. We start with the Premier League when Liverpool beat | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
Sunderland 3-1 at the Stadium of light. Luis Suarez scored, after he | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
was banned for ten matches for biting another player. The second in | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
the table. Jonny Howson's first half strike guided Norwich to the second | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
win of the season as they beat Stoke 1-0 at the Britannia Stadium. | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
Liverpool are the women's league champions as they do beat Bristol | :14:17. | :14:26. | |
Academy 2-0. A title decider and the question of who could hold their | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
nerve. In the blue corner, the Bristol Academy up against the | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
league spenders in red. It was Bristol Academy up against the | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
Liverpool who cashed in on their dominance. With Bristol struggling | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
for possession, their frustration got the better of them. Liverpool | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
have seasoned internationals. Investment from the men's club | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
allowed this player to arrive on Merseyside at the start of the | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
season and her finish put the title beyond Bristol's grasp. Whistle have | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
come back from bigger deficits but not this time. -- Bristol. This | :15:02. | :15:11. | |
sparked a real change in the women's game. To win the title is | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
the big one, really, and people go through their whole career never | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
having this opportunity. It feels unbelievable, it really does. These | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
girls are my best friends and I believe we deserved to win it. The | :15:28. | :15:40. | |
Tour de France winner Chris Frew pulled out of the road race this | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
afternoon after he struggled with the treacherous conditions in Italy. | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
The whole British team abandoned the race as well. It was a close finish. | :15:49. | :16:00. | |
And cycling's world governing body has asked a member of team sky to | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
explain possible discrepancies in the readings. Team sky said they had | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
no doubt about the performance of the readings. Team sky said they had | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
the cyclist who won last year's toured Britain. They say the | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
anomalies showed in readings before he joined the team. | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
Thank you. | :16:18. | :16:18. |
