:00:37. > :00:42.recession Jaguar Land Rover turns the corner - announcing record
:00:43. > :00:43.sales. And dogged determination - the battle with flooding continues
:00:44. > :01:07.as more rain is forecast. Good afternoon. Nearly a hundred
:01:08. > :01:10.Conservative MPs have written to David Cameron urging him to change
:01:11. > :01:14.the law to give Britain more powers to reject European Union
:01:15. > :01:16.legislation. The Prime Minister has pledged to reform Britain's
:01:17. > :01:22.relationship with Europe and put it to a referendum in 2017 if he wins
:01:23. > :01:25.the next election. But many of his MPs appear to want to go further,
:01:26. > :01:28.sooner. The letter emerged as the Work and Pensions Secretary said he
:01:29. > :01:31.was working with other countries in Europe to try and extend the ban on
:01:32. > :01:42.migrants' access to some benefits. Here's our Political Correspondent
:01:43. > :01:48.Vicki Young. With European elections on the horizon, David Cameron's
:01:49. > :01:53.under pressure and promised to renegotiate Britain's relationship
:01:54. > :02:00.with the ept EU. But -- with the EU. But many want details now. There
:02:01. > :02:07.have been some changes. When Romanians and Bulgarians got access
:02:08. > :02:11.to the UK, ministers tightened the rules on benefits. Now the
:02:12. > :02:15.Government is working with others in the EU to go further. There is a
:02:16. > :02:21.ground swell of opinion that says people may be able to move to get a
:02:22. > :02:27.job, but to live off the state is not acceptable. Some argue it is a
:02:28. > :02:34.phoney debate, because migrants contribute to the economy. I'm
:02:35. > :02:37.puzzled that we have this debate. Immigrants have been more likely to
:02:38. > :02:42.be in employment and they're well educated and paid in 34% more into
:02:43. > :02:47.the system in terms of taxes, than what they took out in terms of
:02:48. > :02:51.transfers and benefits. Ministers say Britain's not alone in wanting
:02:52. > :02:56.reform of the EU. They say Germany and the Netherlands are on side too.
:02:57. > :03:01.The problem for David Cameron is that tinkering with the rules on
:03:02. > :03:06.benefits simply won't satisfy a Sigg captain part -- significant part of
:03:07. > :03:11.his own party. They want the power of Brussels reduced and this place
:03:12. > :03:14.given a bigger say. More than 90 Tory MPs have written to David
:03:15. > :03:20.Cameron urging him to give Parliament a national veto over EU
:03:21. > :03:25.laws. We want a different relationship with the EU that allows
:03:26. > :03:29.democracy. That is about the right to make and change your own laws.
:03:30. > :03:33.And that is what we are asking Parliament to take back. But senior
:03:34. > :03:40.Conservatives say the idea is unrealistic. If national Parliaments
:03:41. > :03:53.around the European Union were regularly and unilateral erally able
:03:54. > :04:00.to decide which laws they would use the market wouldn't work. The Deputy
:04:01. > :04:04.Prime Minister accused the Tories of jeopardising British jobs. It is
:04:05. > :04:08.essential that we remain an outward facing, open trading nation. Not
:04:09. > :04:14.pull up the draw bridge and cower behind the cliffs of Dover, but to
:04:15. > :04:19.have that British bull dog spirit. David Cameron isn't the first
:04:20. > :04:26.Conservative leader to find himself trying to unite a party with
:04:27. > :04:29.different views on Europe. Thousands of Israelis have paid their respects
:04:30. > :04:32.to their former prime minister Ariel Sharon - as his coffin lay in state
:04:33. > :04:36.outside the Knesset in Jerusalem. His death yesterday at the age of 85
:04:37. > :04:39.came eight years after the stroke which left him in a coma. Quentin
:04:40. > :04:48.Sommerville is in Jerusalem for us now. The crowds were not huge today.
:04:49. > :04:53.But they were steady. Perhaps a reflection on the fact that Ariel
:04:54. > :04:58.Sharon has been absent from Israeli life for eight years. He has been in
:04:59. > :05:06.a coma. For many of those who attended today, his presence is
:05:07. > :05:10.still very much alive. With a moment's silence, Israel's president
:05:11. > :05:16.was the first to pay his respects. As Ariel Sharon lay in state. Today,
:05:17. > :05:28.it was the people's turn to pray and to say goodbye. Rabbis from Israel's
:05:29. > :05:32.armed services recited from the book of psalms. This man served under
:05:33. > :05:40.Ariel Sharon in battle and travelled hours to be here. He remembers a
:05:41. > :05:48.charismatic warrior. This is the minimum act that I can do when he is
:05:49. > :05:55.going to be... Buried very soon. And it's kind of a commitment that I had
:05:56. > :06:03.to do. I think that everybody should do that. He was hailed a hero for
:06:04. > :06:14.crossing the Suez canal in the war of 73. For many, he personally won
:06:15. > :06:18.the conflict and saved Israel. TRANSLATION: He was tied to the land
:06:19. > :06:24.and understood above all else our independence relies on our ability
:06:25. > :06:29.to defend ourselves by ourselves. His enemies and there were many,
:06:30. > :06:34.didn't attend today. The Palestinians had no reconciliation.
:06:35. > :06:39.They see him as a butcher and a criminal. Ariel Sharon's legacy
:06:40. > :06:45.remains controversial. But already his place as someone who shaped
:06:46. > :06:49.Israeli history is secure. The memorial service for Ariel Sharon
:06:50. > :06:57.will start tomorrow morning here in Jerusalem. There will be an address
:06:58. > :07:03.from the US vice president and Tony Blair and a military convoy will
:07:04. > :07:09.take its coffin to his final resting place by his farm in the south of
:07:10. > :07:11.Israel. Thank you. Valerie Trierweiler, the partner of French
:07:12. > :07:14.President Francois Hollande, has been hospitalised just days after
:07:15. > :07:18.the President was accused by a magazine of having an affair. Aides
:07:19. > :07:21.say she has been admitted for exhaustion and to undergo tests.
:07:22. > :07:24.Closer magazine claimed on Friday that Mr Hollande has been having an
:07:25. > :07:39.affair with an actress - Julie Gayet. Nd with police officers. The
:07:40. > :07:41.Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Nichols, is to
:07:42. > :07:44.be created a Cardinal by Pope Francis. Archbishop Nichols will be
:07:45. > :07:47.among 19 new cardinals appointed from across the world to be formally
:07:48. > :07:50.installed at a ceremony in the Vatican next month. He says he's
:07:51. > :07:53.deeply moved by the honour. Jaguar Land Rover has announced record
:07:54. > :07:56.sales for last year - selling more than 400,000 vehicles. The figures
:07:57. > :07:59.were boosted by a 40% leap in overseas sales of Jaguars - with the
:08:00. > :08:04.cars proving popular in America, Germany and India. Our Business
:08:05. > :08:07.Correspondent Joe Lyman reports. It's the vehicle of choice for
:08:08. > :08:10.future kings, as well as current Prime Ministers and increasingly so
:08:11. > :08:13.for thousands of drivers around the world. Jaguar and Land Rover have
:08:14. > :08:16.never sold as many of their luxury cars as they did last year, with
:08:17. > :08:26.America, India and Germany seeing the biggest growth. In all, Jaguar
:08:27. > :08:33.Land Rover sold 425,000 of its luxury vehicles around the world. Up
:08:34. > :08:35.nearly a fifth. The Land Rover brand, which includes Range Rover
:08:36. > :08:40.accounted for 350,000 of those sales. Up 15%. Nearly 80,000 Jaguar
:08:41. > :08:47.cars were sold, up 42% on the previous year and the customer
:08:48. > :08:49.widens and gets younger. Historically Jaguar has always
:08:50. > :08:57.attracted a person of a certain age profile. Over the last four year,
:08:58. > :09:00.the demographic of our customers has changed dramatically and we see
:09:01. > :09:03.customers of all ages come to the show room now. And more sales means
:09:04. > :09:06.more manufacturing. JLR is hiring more than 2,000 additional people at
:09:07. > :09:14.its plants in the West Midlands and Merseyside, bringing to 26,000 the
:09:15. > :09:17.number of UK-based staff. The turn around of Jaguar Land Rover has been
:09:18. > :09:20.phenomenal. Five years ago as the recession started, the demand for
:09:21. > :09:25.cars fell off a cliff and JLR even stopped making them for a while.
:09:26. > :09:28.They went cap in hand for a financial bailout to the UK
:09:29. > :09:33.Government. But what they didn't do was stop focussing on quality. They
:09:34. > :09:36.aimed at the new emerging markets of China, India and Brazil and they got
:09:37. > :09:39.them. It's certainly the case that without China they wouldn't be
:09:40. > :09:43.nearly as exciting and they have got a long way to go still in China in
:09:44. > :09:46.growth. There is still further growth there. What is promising is
:09:47. > :09:51.we have seen growth in India and Germany and the United States. It is
:09:52. > :09:55.a broad-based growth. And it is not just Jaguar Land Rover doing well.
:09:56. > :09:58.Last week it was confirmed that car sales in Britain are at their
:09:59. > :10:05.highest since 2007, thanks to a recovering economy and cheap finance
:10:06. > :10:07.packages. After nearly a month of fighting, Government forces in South
:10:08. > :10:11.Sudan are attempting to recapture the last key town still in the hands
:10:12. > :10:16.of rebel fighters - as peace talks in neighbouring Ethopia stall.
:10:17. > :10:23.Troops are mobilising to retake Bor - where thousands of civilians are
:10:24. > :10:27.trying to escape the violence. Andrew Harding is just outside the
:10:28. > :10:33.town. The first boats arrive at dawn. Desperate families fleeing
:10:34. > :10:44.heavy fighting on far side of the River Nile. It's not a free trip.
:10:45. > :10:47.The grandmother has had to borrow money to pay for the crossing. How
:10:48. > :10:54.many times in your life have you had to run because of war? She goes
:10:55. > :10:57.through the list. This is the tenth, she says. The children wait near by,
:10:58. > :11:10.while today's wounded are brought ashore. There is a Government
:11:11. > :11:15.soldier. A grandfather. But Peter's younger brother didn't make it. Shot
:11:16. > :11:19.beside him, he says, by the rebels. The bullet leave the mouth and then
:11:20. > :11:24.the bullet stay in. The bullet not come out again from the head. So he
:11:25. > :11:34.died? Yes. Nobody will play with me again. The survivors gather for
:11:35. > :11:38.Sunday worship, praying for an end to a bewildering conflict. A power
:11:39. > :11:43.struggling that is now dividing the country on ethnic lines. Suddenly a
:11:44. > :11:54.muffled roar - air strikes out of sight across the river. We head
:11:55. > :11:57.deeper into the countryside. We are trying to find a group of families
:11:58. > :12:01.that we have heard may be taking refuge. The concern is because this
:12:02. > :12:03.is a such a vast country and access is so difficult there maybe
:12:04. > :12:12.thousands of people in the same situation. We find a family
:12:13. > :12:17.sheltering from the sun. They got here yesterday. Five in their group
:12:18. > :12:23.were killed on the journey. They say thousands more are still trapped on
:12:24. > :12:28.the far side of the river. But there is a new arrival, this baby was born
:12:29. > :12:37.last week as his mother hid in the bushes, waiting for a boat to
:12:38. > :12:40.safety. England's dismal tour of Australia has continued with defeat
:12:41. > :12:45.in the first one day international in Melbourne earlier this morning.
:12:46. > :12:50.England made 269 for seven after deciding to bat first but that total
:12:51. > :12:52.never proved challenging enough. Aaron Finch scored a century for
:12:53. > :12:59.Australia and they reached their target with six wickets and 26 balls
:13:00. > :13:02.to spare. Football and Liverpool's match against Stoke at the Brittania
:13:03. > :13:12.stadium is in the final few minutes, and it's currently 2-2. Now it is
:13:13. > :13:15.4-2 to Liverpool. Earlier Manchester City returned to the top of the
:13:16. > :13:18.Premier league following a 2-0 win at Newcastle. Edin Dzeko with their
:13:19. > :13:21.opening goal. But the match will be remembered for referee Mike Jones'
:13:22. > :13:23.decision to disallow Newcastle an equaliser. Their manager Alan Pardew
:13:24. > :13:26.making his feelings clear at half time. And there was one match in the
:13:27. > :13:32.Scottish Premiership where Inverness and Dundee United shared the points.
:13:33. > :13:35.Keith Watson heading United's equaliser shortly after Inverness
:13:36. > :13:39.had taken the lead. Now if you're wondering when the flood threat will
:13:40. > :13:41.recede - the answer is not yet. With further rain forecast, the
:13:42. > :13:44.Environment Agency is warning of more flooding particularly in the
:13:45. > :13:47.South East of England and along parts of the River Thames. There are
:13:48. > :13:50.still more than 60 flood warnings in place in England and Wales. Keith
:13:51. > :13:56.Doyle reports now from Old Windsor in Berkshire. Taking the dog for a
:13:57. > :14:02.daily walk is not straight forward here. A boat is needed to take them
:14:03. > :14:06.to dry land. And this has been the case for more than a week op this
:14:07. > :14:11.stretch of the Thames near Windsor. Physically and mentally it has been
:14:12. > :14:16.affecting us badly. You know, you just, it has just been going on and
:14:17. > :14:23.on and it is like a slow water torture. This area has been flooded
:14:24. > :14:30.for days. The Thames swollen by prolonged heavy rain upstream. Homes
:14:31. > :14:37.that have riv views are now in the river. Water at waist level at some
:14:38. > :14:41.people's' front doors. Businesses have been affected. They're used to
:14:42. > :14:47.some minor flooding here, but nothing like this. It is a losing
:14:48. > :14:51.battle for many. We have moved all the stock off the floor. We have
:14:52. > :14:58.cleared as much as we can off the floor to make the office safe. That
:14:59. > :15:03.is all we can do. We put barricades in place. But water will always find
:15:04. > :15:08.its way. The water's starting to recede slightly, but with more rain
:15:09. > :15:13.forecast for the next few days and a few days after that they expect the
:15:14. > :15:17.water levels to rise and rise again. Flood alerts are likely to be in
:15:18. > :15:25.place for the next week. For now, this will remain the daily routine.
:15:26. > :15:26.There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel, we are
