:00:15. > :00:19.warns that the Government cannot afford a planned 1% rise without

:00:19. > :00:22.cutting jobs or endangering patient care.

:00:22. > :00:26.New footage as the gunmen in the Kenyan shopping centre attack are

:00:26. > :00:30.named. Police say they could have been as few as four.

:00:30. > :00:51.And Prince Harry goes walkabout down under.

:00:51. > :00:58.Hello there, good evening. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt says the NHS

:00:58. > :01:01.cannot afford to give staff a 1% pay rise which was due next year. He has

:01:01. > :01:04.recommended to two independent pay rise which was due next year. He has

:01:04. > :01:08.review bodies that health service staff do not receive their annual

:01:08. > :01:12.pay increase, although many may still get a Riesling to their length

:01:12. > :01:21.of service. Elf correspondent Dominic Hughes reports.

:01:21. > :01:26.Staff pay is the single biggest cost for the NHS, accounting for about

:01:26. > :01:30.two thirds of the spend. Every year the NHS pay review body decides what

:01:30. > :01:34.sort of salary increase the 1.3 million staff in England should

:01:34. > :01:38.receive. Long serving nurses like Mike Travis are counting on the pay

:01:38. > :01:43.rise. I have been a paediatric nurse for 33 years now, and it would just

:01:43. > :01:51.mean that I would not get a pay rise again this year. What's Jeremy Hunt

:01:51. > :01:54.is doing is, he is taking a club to our pay scales, and he does not

:01:54. > :02:01.understand the damage that he will inflict on ordinary working nurses

:02:01. > :02:05.like me. Like other public sector workers, NHS staff had been

:02:05. > :02:09.expecting a 1% increase next April, which would cost the health service

:02:09. > :02:12.in England about £500 million. But the Government says this is on top

:02:12. > :02:19.of annual increments, pay rises linked to length of service, which

:02:19. > :02:23.ministers say will cost an additional £900 million that the NHS

:02:23. > :02:28.cannot afford. Holding the pay rise for NHS staff has already sparked

:02:28. > :02:30.outrage protests from both unions and the opposition, who accuse

:02:30. > :02:34.outrage protests from both unions ministers of using bullying

:02:34. > :02:37.tactics. It was a promise made to them, and I don't think it's

:02:37. > :02:41.acceptable for the Secretary of State, as a result of his own

:02:41. > :02:45.incompetence, to come along and say, you are not getting that after all,

:02:45. > :02:49.it is a kick in the teeth. Who are given their all to keep the NHS

:02:49. > :02:53.going in difficult times. But there is support for the Government from

:02:53. > :02:58.the body that represents foundation trust hospitals, which have more

:02:58. > :03:02.leeway when it comes to awarding pay rises. We face an increase, 4% per

:03:02. > :03:06.year, in terms of demand for services and we do not have the

:03:06. > :03:10.money to afford the increase. We need to improve the quality of

:03:10. > :03:15.services and patient safety, and we need to provide services to patients

:03:15. > :03:21.seven days a week. This is the Department of Health's opening

:03:21. > :03:24.negotiating position. The pay review body will not report until early

:03:24. > :03:28.next year. Kenya's military has named four men

:03:28. > :03:31.it says were part of a group of up to six attackers who carried out the

:03:31. > :03:36.terrorist attack in Nairobi last month. 67 people were killed in the

:03:36. > :03:41.Westgate shopping more. Video has emerged of the heavily armed

:03:41. > :03:47.attackers inside the complex. From Nairobi, Gabriel Gatehouse reports.

:03:47. > :03:51.CCTV footage shows one of the men in what appears to be a storeroom. He

:03:51. > :03:55.beckons to his associates, and three others follow him. They looked

:03:56. > :04:02.relaxed as they searched the area. One man has been identified as a

:04:03. > :04:09.Kenyan national. Little is known about a second man, named only as

:04:09. > :04:15.Umayr. Two others have been named and are said to be from Sudan and

:04:15. > :04:24.Somalia. Security experts say that at least some of the men were on the

:04:24. > :04:27.security agency's radar. Two names, and very prominently, names that

:04:27. > :04:31.have been known to the security forces for quite some time, so why

:04:31. > :04:38.they were still in circulating is something that bothers us. The

:04:38. > :04:41.release of these names is the first significant bit of information to

:04:41. > :04:46.come out of the ongoing investigation into what happened at

:04:46. > :04:50.Westgate, but even as Nairobi returns to some sort of normality,

:04:50. > :04:56.Kenyon is still have many more questions than they have answers. --

:04:56. > :04:59.canyons. Investigators are still working their way through CCTV

:04:59. > :05:00.footage and forensic work is being carried out on some of the bodies

:05:00. > :05:05.footage and forensic work is being taken from Westgate, information

:05:05. > :05:09.that could help provide a more complete picture on how a small

:05:09. > :05:15.number of attackers managed to cause so much carnage.

:05:15. > :05:20.Today is the deadline for parents to register with the tax authorities if

:05:20. > :05:23.they earn more than £50,000 and currently receive child benefit.

:05:23. > :05:28.Officials say around 200,000 people have yet to register and face a

:05:28. > :05:30.fine. It follows new rules introduced by the Government to

:05:30. > :05:38.prevent high earners from receiving child benefit. Joe Lynam reports.

:05:38. > :05:42.Ruth has two children, but her husband earns more than £50,000, but

:05:42. > :05:47.she does not. She thinks the new charge on child benefit is unfair.

:05:47. > :05:52.The Government should look at the total household income, and not just

:05:52. > :05:57.the income of one parent who goes out to work while the other stays at

:05:57. > :06:01.home. It is an attack on traditional family values. The high income child

:06:01. > :06:05.benefit charge applies to households with children where one member earns

:06:05. > :06:10.over £50,000. In that case, they would be liable for the new charge

:06:10. > :06:14.at a rate of 1% for every £100 over 50,000, but if either parent earns

:06:14. > :06:19.over £60,000, they are not entitled to any child benefit at all and must

:06:19. > :06:28.voluntarily opt out or pay back the benefit. The message from a -- HMRC

:06:28. > :06:32.is simple. If you are not sure whether it applies to you, you are

:06:32. > :06:37.best of registering for self-assessment by tonight. If not,

:06:37. > :06:40.you could face expensive penalties. They run the risk of paying a charge

:06:40. > :06:45.as big as the child benefit they are paying back, and we just want to get

:06:45. > :06:50.the system up and running, so it is important they register, even if

:06:50. > :06:53.they do it late. Facing a budget deficit of over £100 billion, the

:06:53. > :06:58.Treasury said it was only fair that the top 15% of households made a

:06:58. > :07:02.contribution. People earning £30,000 per year should not be paying taxes

:07:02. > :07:05.to fund benefits for those wealthier households.

:07:05. > :07:10.Whether or not those affected think the new charge is fair, the vast

:07:11. > :07:13.majority of the 1.1 million people who it applies to have already

:07:14. > :07:20.registered to pay it through the tax system. The remaining 200,000 have

:07:20. > :07:24.until midnight to do so. Protests have been taking place in

:07:24. > :07:27.cities around the world over the detention of 30 Greenpeace activists

:07:27. > :07:31.in Russia. They have been charged with piracy after a demonstration at

:07:31. > :07:34.a Russian oil platform in the Arctic. Six are British, and Sarah

:07:34. > :07:37.Campbell has been speaking to relatives and supporters who have

:07:38. > :07:42.been holding a protest in London today.

:07:42. > :07:45.A worrying time for the friends, families and supporters of the six

:07:45. > :07:48.British nationals imprisoned in Northern Rock. The authorities have

:07:48. > :07:55.allowed little contact. Geordie Harris has received just one e-mail

:07:55. > :08:03.from her older sister. She is very upset. She cannot see her friends,

:08:03. > :08:08.it is a very emotional time, and she's still trying to work out why

:08:08. > :08:11.this is happening to them all. The campaigners were protesting against

:08:11. > :08:13.drilling in the Arctic at a Russian platform. They were prevented from

:08:13. > :08:17.boarding by armed platform. They were prevented from

:08:17. > :08:25.charged with piracy, which carries a maximum jail term of 15 years.

:08:25. > :08:29.Protests like this are happening in 40 different countries, and the idea

:08:29. > :08:33.is to pile pressure on the Russian authorities as publicly as possible.

:08:33. > :08:38.Helping to do that, high-profile supporters, Damon Albarn and Jude

:08:38. > :08:43.law, both family friends of an activist. They get into these

:08:43. > :08:47.situations, often expecting arrest, and that draws attention, which is a

:08:47. > :08:54.positive, but the idea that there is a possibility of a 15 year prison

:08:54. > :08:57.stretch is beyond reason. Kieran Brian's family travelled from Devon

:08:57. > :09:03.to show their support. I just cannot stop thinking about it all the time,

:09:03. > :09:07.it is every minute of every day. Hopefully, you know, things like

:09:07. > :09:13.this and what Greenpeace are doing will just help get him home, we just

:09:13. > :09:17.want him home. The UK Foreign Office says it will continue to raise the

:09:17. > :09:22.issue with the Russian authorities. The families can do little but wait

:09:22. > :09:26.and hope for a breakthrough. Prince Harry has been greeting

:09:26. > :09:29.crowds in Australia in his first official visits to the country. He

:09:29. > :09:34.inspected warships in Sydney Harbour, acting as the Queen's

:09:34. > :09:36.representative at centenary submissions for the Australian navy.

:09:36. > :09:44.representative at centenary Jon Donnison reports.

:09:44. > :09:48.Prince Harry on duty down under. Few people take a weekend trip to

:09:49. > :09:52.Australia, and after a 20 hour flight he spent much of the day at

:09:52. > :09:57.sea aboard one of a flotilla of Australian warships in Sydney's

:09:57. > :10:00.magnificent harbour. Prince Harry is here as guest of honour for the

:10:00. > :10:05.Australian navy's international fleet review. After several hours at

:10:05. > :10:10.sea and a quick change outfits, Prince Harry in amongst them as he

:10:10. > :10:14.got back on dry land for a walkabout. Judging from the

:10:14. > :10:18.reception he got, not too many Republicans on show, but plenty keen

:10:18. > :10:25.to get to know the fourth in line to the throne. Hopefully he finds me

:10:25. > :10:31.waiting for him, yes! I am a lovely Australian girl, I would make a

:10:31. > :10:35.great wife, ready for the prince! Is very popular in Australia, because

:10:35. > :10:39.he is down-to-earth, and he gets on with everybody, he is well liked

:10:39. > :10:45.here. And at nightfall, a spectacular finale. Australians know

:10:45. > :10:50.how to do fireworks. The Harbour transformed, the famous opera house

:10:50. > :10:58.providing the canvas for a dazzling light show. If the prince managed to

:10:58. > :11:01.fight off the jet lag, he will have witnessed what was billed as one of

:11:01. > :11:07.the biggest firework displays the world has ever seen.

:11:07. > :11:07.And that is it, we are back with the
