:00:26. > :00:32.Hello, very good afternoon. The Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan
:00:33. > :00:35.Smith has said he'd like to see the ban on immigrants being able to
:00:36. > :00:38.claim some benefits extended beyond the current three months. But Mr
:00:39. > :00:44.Duncan Smith says this should be done only in conjunction with other
:00:45. > :00:47.EU countries. This morning the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg
:00:48. > :00:50.agreed with the idea in principle but warned the Conservatives not to
:00:51. > :00:56.pull up the drawbridge on Europe. Here's our Political Correspondent
:00:57. > :01:02.Louise Stewart. The debate over migrants' Wright has intensified
:01:03. > :01:09.following the EU restriction at the start of the year being lifted. Now
:01:10. > :01:13.the work and pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has proposed even
:01:14. > :01:19.tighter curbs. There has been no sign of an influx of Romanians and
:01:20. > :01:28.Bulgarians, Iain Duncan Smith says he is hoping to bring pressure on
:01:29. > :01:32.Brussels to allow countries to make their restrictions stricter. It is
:01:33. > :01:35.eminently sensible to say that if we can come to an agreement that says
:01:36. > :01:40.you have to jump through certain hoops before you can claim benefits
:01:41. > :01:44.having moved to a different European country, fine. Earlier this week
:01:45. > :01:49.Boris Johnson also suggested migrants should have to wait longer,
:01:50. > :01:52.up to two years before being able to claim benefits. Labour said they
:01:53. > :01:58.would support measures that make sure people are coming to the UK to
:01:59. > :02:17.contribute. If they come up with concrete proposals that protects the
:02:18. > :02:20.security system and the principle that you have to pay something in
:02:21. > :02:22.before you get something out, we would support that. There may be a
:02:23. > :02:24.rare consensus between the political parties over the principle of
:02:25. > :02:27.looking at reform of benefits for migrants, but deep divisions still
:02:28. > :02:29.remain over the future in Europe. Louise is here now. Louise, the
:02:30. > :02:33.Conservatives problems with Europe aren't confined just to the issue of
:02:34. > :02:35.how to deal with immigration, are they? That's right, 95 backbench
:02:36. > :02:38.Conservative MPs have signed a letter sent to the Prime Minister
:02:39. > :02:42.urging him to block, to give the Commons power to block new
:02:43. > :02:46.legislation from EU and to repeal some existing legislation, and they
:02:47. > :02:49.say that would allow them to stop some of the red tape from Europe
:02:50. > :02:56.over business issues, and also to take back greater control over
:02:57. > :03:02.Europe. The Prime Minister has pledged that he will renegotiate
:03:03. > :03:15.powers with the EU and offer that to a referendum in 2017, but I think
:03:16. > :03:18.this letter attests to how frustrated some Conservative
:03:19. > :03:22.backbenchers are over the relationship with the European
:03:23. > :03:25.Union. Thank you. Mourners are filing past the coffin
:03:26. > :03:28.of the former Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon. His body is
:03:29. > :03:31.lying in state outside Israel's parliament, the Knesset. The coffin
:03:32. > :03:34.was taken there by a military convoy. Mr Sharon died yesterday
:03:35. > :03:42.after spending eight years in a coma. Let's speak to our
:03:43. > :03:48.Correspondent Quentin Somerville who's there. Quentin. The crowds
:03:49. > :03:53.have been small here today but they have been steady. As you mentioned,
:03:54. > :03:58.Ariel Sharon spent the last eight years in a coma, but for many of the
:03:59. > :04:02.mourners here today he is still very much alive presence in Israeli
:04:03. > :04:06.politics, some of them mentioning his military career. All of the
:04:07. > :04:15.mourners talking about the war with Egypt, personally crediting him with
:04:16. > :04:20.saving Israel by seeing off Egyptian forces. Many of them have been
:04:21. > :04:33.talking about his move from Gaza. Palestinians take a different view,
:04:34. > :04:44.they have celebrated his death. Ariel Sharon's own funeral will take
:04:45. > :04:52.place in the south of the country. His place as a shaper of Israeli
:04:53. > :04:55.history is secure. The Foreign Secretary William Hague
:04:56. > :04:57.has rejected claims that British soldiers were involved in the
:04:58. > :05:00.systematic torture of Iraqi detainees during the Iraq War. A
:05:01. > :05:03.dossier of allegations is being submitted to the International
:05:04. > :05:08.Criminal Court in the Hague by a group of lawyers. The British Armed
:05:09. > :05:14.Forces uphold high standards, they are the finest Armed Forces in the
:05:15. > :05:17.world, and they uphold those high standards so we reject allegations
:05:18. > :05:22.of systematic abuse, but where there are substantiated allegations of
:05:23. > :05:28.things going wrong, these things have been or are being investigated.
:05:29. > :05:32.That does not require references to the International Criminal Court.
:05:33. > :05:35.Police in north London are making door-to-door enquiries in their
:05:36. > :05:40.search for two 12-year-old girls who haven't been seen since around five
:05:41. > :05:47.o'clock last night. Wiktoria Popieland and Vitalija Sidlauskaite
:05:48. > :05:50.were last seen walking to a bus stop in Wood Green. Their disappearance
:05:51. > :05:56.is said to be completely out of character.
:05:57. > :05:59.The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Nichols, is to
:06:00. > :06:01.be created a cardinal by Pope Francis. Archbishop Nichols will be
:06:02. > :06:05.among 19 new cardinals appointed from across the world to be formally
:06:06. > :06:08.installed at a ceremony in the Vatican next month. He says he's
:06:09. > :06:11.deeply moved by the honour. Jaguar Land Rover has announced
:06:12. > :06:15.record sales for last year, selling more than 400,000 vehicles. The
:06:16. > :06:18.figures were boosted by an export-led leap in sales of Jaguar
:06:19. > :06:21.of more than 40% with the car proving popular in America, Germany
:06:22. > :06:30.and India, as our Business Correspondent Joe Lyman reports. It
:06:31. > :06:36.is the vehicle of choice for prime minister 's and future King 's, and
:06:37. > :06:39.increasingly so for thousands of drivers around the world. Jaguar and
:06:40. > :06:46.Land Rover have never sold as many years there -- as many of their
:06:47. > :06:51.luxury cars as they did last year. In all Jaguar Land Rover sold
:06:52. > :06:57.425,000 of its luxury vehicles around the world, up nearly a fifth.
:06:58. > :07:04.The Land Rover brand accounted for 350,000 of those sales, up 15%.
:07:05. > :07:09.Nearly 80,000 Jaguar cars were sold, up 42% on the previous year. All of
:07:10. > :07:13.these cars being sold means they are hiring nearly 2000 more people to
:07:14. > :07:25.make them in their factories in the West Midlands and Merseyside,
:07:26. > :07:27.bringing to 26,000 the number of UK-based staff. It is a massive
:07:28. > :07:30.turnaround since the recession, which rocked the entire industry.
:07:31. > :07:35.Then they had to stop production at all of their plants, and the
:07:36. > :07:39.company's Indian owners asked for financial support from the
:07:40. > :07:43.government. They realise this was a country with a long-term future so
:07:44. > :07:48.big investment has gone in, and they are now paying dividends in terms of
:07:49. > :07:54.opening up new markets around the world. Car sales in Britain are at
:07:55. > :08:00.their highest since 2007, thanks to a recovering economy, cheap
:08:01. > :08:03.financing packages, and repayments of mis-sold payment protection
:08:04. > :08:07.insurance. Now sport and England's dismal tour
:08:08. > :08:10.of Australia has continued with defeat in the first one day
:08:11. > :08:13.international in Melbourne earlier this morning England made 269 for
:08:14. > :08:16.seven after deciding to bat first but that total never proved
:08:17. > :08:20.challenging enough. Openers David Warner and Aaron Finch took
:08:21. > :08:23.England's attack apart. Finch scored a century for Australia and they
:08:24. > :08:32.reached their target with six wickets and 26 balls to spare. The
:08:33. > :08:37.next match is in Brisbane on Friday. England you'll remember lost the
:08:38. > :08:41.test series 5-0. The Golden Globes are announced
:08:42. > :08:44.later today in America - the awards often being a good guide to who
:08:45. > :08:47.might be in the running for the Oscars. There's a particularly
:08:48. > :08:55.strong showing for British films and actors this year. Our Los Angeles
:08:56. > :08:58.Correspondent Peter Bowes reports. Posing for the cameras and lapping
:08:59. > :09:03.up the attention, some of Hollywood and the UK's biggest names have
:09:04. > :09:06.already been out on the town, celebrating the success of British
:09:07. > :09:14.nominees at the annual tea party hosted by BAFTA. 12 years a slave
:09:15. > :09:18.has the most nominations for the Golden globes, a film about a man
:09:19. > :09:32.from upstate New York who was abducted and sold into slavery is
:09:33. > :09:36.based on a true story. The main character's actor has been
:09:37. > :09:41.nominated. We are thrilled to be in this moment and in the midst of a
:09:42. > :09:45.year that has had so many different films and an incredible range and
:09:46. > :09:50.diversity of cinema and so many different topics and styles, and I
:09:51. > :09:54.think that is great for everybody. He is up against strong competition,
:09:55. > :09:59.including Tom Hanks, who plays the captain of a container vessel
:10:00. > :10:04.hijacked by Somali pirates in Captain Phillips, another story
:10:05. > :10:08.based on real events. Would it be possible not to use my real name
:10:09. > :10:15.when you write this story. Philomena is the story of a woman who goes in
:10:16. > :10:20.search of her son conceived out of wedlock after he was taken away from
:10:21. > :10:24.her by a branch of the Catholic Church. She is played by Dame Judi
:10:25. > :10:30.Dench but it was the real Philomena we met on the red carpet. What do
:10:31. > :10:38.you think of her betrayal of you? What a lovely lady, she got some of
:10:39. > :10:45.the characters really well, yes, she has. She plays a picture of a lady
:10:46. > :10:50.with quite a personality. She is an absolute darling. This is the start
:10:51. > :10:54.of a busy awards season in Hollywood, and if it lives up to its
:10:55. > :10:59.reputation it could be a night of surprises. We should keep a close
:11:00. > :11:04.eye on that. You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News
:11:05. > :11:06.Channel. The next news on BBC One is at 17.35. Goodbye for now.
:11:07. > :11:22.It has been a pretty decent weekend weather-wise, we could do with a few
:11:23. > :11:24.weeks of this fine and dry
