:00:08. > :00:12.Europe re-emerges as a fault line for the Conservatives, as David

:00:13. > :00:16.Cameron's own backbenchers urge him to take action. Nearly 100 Tory MPs

:00:17. > :00:20.tell the Prime Minister that Britain should be able to veto EU

:00:21. > :00:25.legislation. We want a different relationship

:00:26. > :00:29.with the European Union, that allows democracy. Democracy is about the

:00:30. > :00:34.right to make and change or own laws. The division comes as the

:00:35. > :00:39.Government says it wants to work more closely with Europe to further

:00:40. > :00:43.limit migrants' access to benefits. Also: Ariel Sharon is honoured at

:00:44. > :00:46.the Israeli Parliament, ahead of the former Prime Minister's funeral

:00:47. > :00:52.tomorrow. A bumper year for Jaguar Land Rover,

:00:53. > :00:57.as a spike in exports helps deliver record sales and the stars are out

:00:58. > :01:00.for the Golden Globes in Hollywood, as the curtain rises on the film

:01:01. > :01:20.award season. Good evening. Nearly 100

:01:21. > :01:25.Conservative MPs have written to David Cameron urging him to change

:01:26. > :01:27.the law to give Britain more powers to reject European Union

:01:28. > :01:31.legislation. The Prime Minister has pledged to reform Britain's

:01:32. > :01:36.relationship with Europe and put it to a referendum in 2017 if he wins

:01:37. > :01:43.the next election. But many of his MPs appear to want to go further

:01:44. > :01:45.sooner. Is the letter emerged as the Work and Pensions Secretary said he

:01:46. > :01:50.was working other countries in Europe to try and extend the ban on

:01:51. > :01:55.migrants' access to some benefits. Here's our political correspondent,

:01:56. > :02:00.Vicki Young. With European elections in May, David Cameron is under

:02:01. > :02:04.pressure. He has promised to renegotiate Britain's relationship

:02:05. > :02:07.with the EU and hold a referendum. Many of his side are wresless. They

:02:08. > :02:12.don't think that will be enough to see off the threat from the UK

:02:13. > :02:17.independence party. There have been some changes already, when Romanians

:02:18. > :02:22.and Bulgarians got free access to the UK's job market at the beginning

:02:23. > :02:25.of the year, ministers tightened the rules so new arrivals have to wait

:02:26. > :02:28.three months before claiming benefits. Now the Government is

:02:29. > :02:32.working with others in the EU to go further. There is a groundswell of

:02:33. > :02:36.opinion out there that says people may be able to move from one country

:02:37. > :02:40.to another to get a job. To move from one to another to live off the

:02:41. > :02:45.state is not acceptable. Some argue it is a phoney debate because

:02:46. > :02:49.migrants contribute to the economy. Actually I am quite puzzled that we

:02:50. > :02:53.have this debate at this moment. Immigrants from EU countries, over

:02:54. > :02:58.the last decade, have been more likely to be in employment. They are

:02:59. > :03:04.very well educated and they paid in 34% more into the system, in terms

:03:05. > :03:09.of taxes, than what they took out in terms of transfers and benefits. A

:03:10. > :03:13.significant number of Conservative MPs believe the UK should have of

:03:14. > :03:17.total control over its borders and the only way to do that is by

:03:18. > :03:21.reducing the influence of Brussels. Almost 100 have written to Mr

:03:22. > :03:27.Cameron, urging them to give Parliament a national veto over

:03:28. > :03:29.current and future EU laws. We want a different relationship with the

:03:30. > :03:34.European Union, that allows democracy. Democracy is about the

:03:35. > :03:39.right to make and change your own laws. And that's what we are asking

:03:40. > :03:44.Parliament to take back. But senior Conservatives say the

:03:45. > :03:49.idea is unrealistic. If national Parliaments all around the European

:03:50. > :03:53.Union were regularly and unilaterally just able to choose

:03:54. > :03:57.which bits of EU law they would apply and which bits they wouldn't,

:03:58. > :04:01.well then the European single market wouldn't work. The Liberal Democrats

:04:02. > :04:05.leader said it is sensible to work with other countries on restricting

:04:06. > :04:09.migrant benefits. Hell accused the Tories of jeopardising millions of

:04:10. > :04:14.British jobs by threatening to leave the EU. It is essential that we

:04:15. > :04:20.remain an open trading nation, not pull up the draw bridge, not cower

:04:21. > :04:25.we hind the White Cliffs of Dover to. Have that spirit to know we can

:04:26. > :04:28.win in the world to be open. David Cameron is not the first

:04:29. > :04:33.Conservative leader trying to find himself to unite a party with very

:04:34. > :04:39.different views on Europe. Let 's join Vicky now. How

:04:40. > :04:42.significant would you say this letter is? It is significant because

:04:43. > :04:47.they have decided to go public in the first place. Significant because

:04:48. > :04:51.of the sheer number, almost one-third of Tory MPs who back this

:04:52. > :04:57.idea. The problem for David Cameron is tinkers with changes on migrants

:04:58. > :05:03.is all very well, but it will not satisfy this group of MPs. They want

:05:04. > :05:06.something more sweeping, giving powers back, giving this place here

:05:07. > :05:09.a veto over EU laws. The Prime Minister made it clear it would not

:05:10. > :05:14.happen. The message later this week is that Britain is not isolated when

:05:15. > :05:19.it comes to change in the EU, that other countries are coming in our

:05:20. > :05:23.direction. If UKIP do well in May, there'll be more pressure on David

:05:24. > :05:26.Cameron to be much clearer and define more clearly how he sees

:05:27. > :05:31.Britain's relation relationship developing with the EU. Thank you.

:05:32. > :05:35.Thousands of mourners have been filing past the coffin of the former

:05:36. > :05:38.Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, at his laying in state in

:05:39. > :05:44.Jerusalem. Mr Sharon died yesterday at the age of 85, eight years after

:05:45. > :05:47.a stroke which left him in a comma. Our Middle East editor reports from

:05:48. > :05:57.Jerusalem. And then there was one. As the

:05:58. > :06:04.coffin lay in state at the kes net, the country's 90-year-old President

:06:05. > :06:08.paid his respects. With Sharon dead heed is the last political survivor

:06:09. > :06:15.of the generation of 1948 that founded modern Israel.

:06:16. > :06:21.And among Israeli citizens who filed in was this man, saluting his old

:06:22. > :06:27.commander. It is a big commitment. I think that

:06:28. > :06:33.everybody should do that. That's why. I am sorry, I cannot

:06:34. > :06:36.talk. But Palestinians, especially, are

:06:37. > :06:41.not shedding tears for Ariel Sharon. They say he spent his life shedding

:06:42. > :06:44.their blood and taking land they want for a state for Jewish

:06:45. > :06:57.settlements. One of the big what ifs is what

:06:58. > :07:02.might have happened had Sharon not had that stroke in 2006. Would he

:07:03. > :07:09.have pulled settlers out of the West Bank, as he pulled them out of Gaza?

:07:10. > :07:17.I absolutely am certain that you would have acted to separate Israel

:07:18. > :07:25.from the Palestinian Palestinians to the utmost. Which means that Israel

:07:26. > :07:30.would have pulled out from most of the territory. That's all hi per

:07:31. > :07:34.thetal. These days, the Americans are having another day at brokerring

:07:35. > :07:37.peace between Israel and the Palestinians. The big surprise would

:07:38. > :07:41.be success. It is eight years ago this month

:07:42. > :07:47.that Ariel Sharon had the stroke that sent him into a coma. It is a

:07:48. > :07:52.sign of his place in modern Middle East history that there are so many

:07:53. > :07:55.here in Israel that venerate him and so many others, especially

:07:56. > :08:02.Palestinians, who get very angry about what he did.

:08:03. > :08:08.Jaguar Land Rover has announced record sales for last year, selling

:08:09. > :08:14.more than 400,000 vehicles. The figures were boosted by a 40% leap

:08:15. > :08:18.in overseas sales of Jaguars w the cars proving popular in America,

:08:19. > :08:24.Germany and India. Our business correspondent, Joe Lyman, reports.

:08:25. > :08:28.They are the vehicles of choice for future kings, as well as current

:08:29. > :08:34.Prime Ministers. And increasingly so for thousands of drivers around the

:08:35. > :08:39.world. Jaguar land rover have not sold as many as they did last year,

:08:40. > :08:44.with America, India and Germany seeing the biggest growth.

:08:45. > :08:48.In all, Jaguar Land Rover sold 425,000 of its luxury vehicles

:08:49. > :08:53.around the world. Up nearly a fifth. The Land Rover brand, which includes

:08:54. > :09:00.Range Rover, accounted for 550,000 of those sales. Up 15%. 75,000

:09:01. > :09:05.Jaguar cars were sold. Up 42% on the previous year, as the customer base

:09:06. > :09:10.gets younger. We have had the core key ingredients in 2013. We had

:09:11. > :09:13.fabulous products for Jaguar and Land Rover we have introduced to the

:09:14. > :09:16.market. We continue to invest in global manufacturing facilities.

:09:17. > :09:22.Really, we have hit the marbling with the public all over -- the

:09:23. > :09:29.market with the public all over the globe, with that Britishness of the

:09:30. > :09:33.cars we have got. GLR is one of the biggest employers, with 26,000 staff

:09:34. > :09:38.in its plants in the West Midlands and Merseyside.

:09:39. > :09:42.The turn around at Jaguar Land Rover has been phenomenal. Five years ago,

:09:43. > :09:46.as the recession started, the demand for cars fell off a cliff, and they

:09:47. > :09:51.even stopped making them for a while. They went cap in hand for a

:09:52. > :09:58.bailout to the UK Government. What they didn't do was stop focussing on

:09:59. > :10:02.quality. They aimed at the emerging markets and they got them. Without

:10:03. > :10:06.China they would not be as nearly exciting. They have a long way to go

:10:07. > :10:11.in China. There's spectacular growth there. We are seeing growth in India

:10:12. > :10:19.and Germany and the United States. It is a booed-based growth. -- it is

:10:20. > :10:29.a broad-based growth. Car sales are at their highest since 2 oh 0 - oi

:10:30. > :10:34.2007. Iran will stop some of its uranium enrichment in eight days in

:10:35. > :10:39.turn for the easing of sanctions. The agreement came in international

:10:40. > :10:44.talks on implementing the nuclear deal reached last November. For the

:10:45. > :10:49.first time in almost a decade, Iran's nuclear programme will not be

:10:50. > :10:55.able to advance. In fact, parts of it will be rolled back. While we

:10:56. > :11:01.start negotiating, a comprehensive agreement to address the

:11:02. > :11:04.international commune Citity's -- community's concern about Iran's

:11:05. > :11:09.nuclear programme. After nearly a month of fighting Government forces

:11:10. > :11:15.in South Sudan are attempting to re-capture the last key town still

:11:16. > :11:21.in the hands of rebel fighters as peace talks in Ethiopia stall.

:11:22. > :11:27.Travels of civilians are trying to escape the violence.

:11:28. > :11:34.The first boats arrive at dawn. Desperate families fleeing heavy

:11:35. > :11:39.fighting on the far side of the River Nile.

:11:40. > :11:43.It is not a free trip. This grandmother has had to borrow money

:11:44. > :11:48.to pay for the crossing. How many times in your life have you had to

:11:49. > :11:53.run because of war? She goes through the list. This is the tenth, she

:11:54. > :11:58.says. The children wait patiently nearby,

:11:59. > :12:07.while the wounded are brought ashore.

:12:08. > :12:11.There is a Government soldier. A grandfather. But Peter's younger

:12:12. > :12:19.brother didn't make it. Shot besides him, he says, by the rebels.

:12:20. > :12:24.Then the bullet didn't come out and then in the head. So he died? Yes.

:12:25. > :12:36.Nobody plays with me again. The survivors gather for Sunday

:12:37. > :12:39.worship, praying for an end to a bewildering conflict - a power

:12:40. > :12:45.struggle which is splitting the country on ethnic lines. Suddenly a

:12:46. > :12:52.muffled roar, air strikes, out of sight, across the river.

:12:53. > :12:57.We head deeper into the countryside. We are trying to find a group of

:12:58. > :13:01.families we have heard may be taking refuge up ahead. The concern is

:13:02. > :13:04.because this is such a vast country and access is so difficult, there

:13:05. > :13:10.may be tens of thousands of people in the same situation.

:13:11. > :13:13.We find a family, sheltering from the sun.

:13:14. > :13:17.They got here yesterday. Five in their group were killed on the

:13:18. > :13:20.journey. They say thousands more are still trapped on the far side of the

:13:21. > :13:24.river. But there is a new arrival - this

:13:25. > :13:27.baby was born last week, as his mother hid in the bushes besides the

:13:28. > :13:40.Nile, waiting for a boat to safety. France's First Lady, Valerie

:13:41. > :13:43.Trierweiler, has been treated in hospital just days after her

:13:44. > :13:48.partner, President Francois Hollande, was accused of having an

:13:49. > :13:53.affair. Closer magazine claimed on Friday that Mr Hollande has been

:13:54. > :13:59.having an affair with an actress. What do we know of her condition,

:14:00. > :14:01.Christian? Well, the Elysee Palace is tonight confirming that Valerie

:14:02. > :14:07.Trierweiler was admitted to hospital on Friday, the same day that the

:14:08. > :14:11.gossip magazine published these damning photographs of President

:14:12. > :14:15.Hollande leaving an aapartment where allegedly he spent the night with

:14:16. > :14:19.Julie Gayet. The Elysee says Valerie Trierweiler is suffering from a

:14:20. > :14:23.severe bout of the blues. She's had a weekend of rest. She will leave

:14:24. > :14:27.hospital tomorrow, said her spokesman, before deciding what to

:14:28. > :14:30.do next. There in lies the problem. Valerie Trierweiler is still

:14:31. > :14:34.fulfilling the role as First Lady, despite the fact they are not

:14:35. > :14:38.married. They are due to go to Washington in February at the

:14:39. > :14:42.invasion of the Obamas. Some heavyweight comment taters demanding

:14:43. > :14:47.that President Hollande spells out the situation. You might expect

:14:48. > :14:51.public sympathy with Valerie Trierweiler. 89% of the French want

:14:52. > :14:55.the President to say that they are separating. For him, the timing

:14:56. > :15:01.could hardly be any worse. On Tuesday, he's got to make a big New

:15:02. > :15:04.Year's speech on the agenda, jobs and unemployment, the high taxes,

:15:05. > :15:09.the corrosive effect of the taxes on the economy and instead, the one

:15:10. > :15:17.question he will answer and he said he will, is this question about his

:15:18. > :15:21.very tangled love life. Thank you. More than 60 flood warnings remain

:15:22. > :15:25.in force tonight, with more rain forecast overnight. The Environment

:15:26. > :15:28.Agency said it is particularly concerned about flooding in

:15:29. > :15:32.southeast England and along parts of the River Thames. Residents of old

:15:33. > :15:37.Windsor, which has been severely affected by the floods for days, say

:15:38. > :15:41.it has been very difficult for them. Physically and mentally it has been

:15:42. > :15:47.affecting us very badly. You know, you just, it has been going on and

:15:48. > :15:51.on. It is like a slow water torture. The levels have been rising and

:15:52. > :15:57.rising. Luckily they are falling a bit now. But it has been very, very

:15:58. > :16:01.hard. Very hard indeed. England's dismaltour of Australia

:16:02. > :16:06.continued today with defeat in the first one day international. England

:16:07. > :16:10.made 269-7 after deciding to bat first. That total never proved

:16:11. > :16:13.challenging enough. Aaron Finch scored a century for Australia, who

:16:14. > :16:19.reached their target with six wickets and 26 balls to spare.

:16:20. > :16:22.Football, and there were two matches in the Barclays Premier League and

:16:23. > :16:26.one in Scotland this afternoon. Match Of The Day and Sportscene

:16:27. > :16:32.follow the news. Look away now if you don't want to know the results.

:16:33. > :16:37.Manchester City won 2-0 at Newcastle. The home side having what

:16:38. > :16:42.would be been an equaliser denied them by the referee. City returns to

:16:43. > :16:47.the top of the league. And Luis Suarez starred as Liverpool

:16:48. > :16:51.won an eight-goal thriller against Stoke at the Brit Britannia Stadium.

:16:52. > :16:58.That sees them return to the top four. The one match in the Scottish

:16:59. > :17:03.preem yearship saw Dundee United and Inverness share the points. The film

:17:04. > :17:06.industry award season begins with the Golden Globes. Often a good

:17:07. > :17:13.guide as to who might triumph of at the Oscars. This year there is a

:17:14. > :17:18.strong British contingent. Let's go live to Peter Bowes in Los Angeles.

:17:19. > :17:22.It looks like it will be quite a night. Five out of the ten nominees

:17:23. > :17:26.in the main acting category are British. Many of the behind the

:17:27. > :17:31.scenes film makers are represented as well. The musicians and the

:17:32. > :17:36.writers. It is a very good year for the British film industry, which

:17:37. > :17:42.continues to make its line in Hollywood. You will see some flash

:17:43. > :17:46.photography. Some of Hollywood and the UK's bigsest names have --

:17:47. > :17:50.biggest names have been out on the town, celebrating the success of

:17:51. > :17:57.British nominees at the annual tea party hosted by BAFTA. 12 Years A

:17:58. > :18:01.Slave has the most nominations for the Golden Globes. A film about a

:18:02. > :18:06.man who was sold into slavery is based on a true story. The main

:18:07. > :18:12.character is played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, who is nominated for Best

:18:13. > :18:16.Actor in a drama. It has been an extraordinary journey with this

:18:17. > :18:20.film. It is a film we are all deeply proud of. We are thrilled to be in

:18:21. > :18:29.this moment and in the mix of a year which has so many different films

:18:30. > :18:34.and an incredible range and and diversity and topics and styles. The

:18:35. > :18:38.British actor is up against strong competition, including Hanks, who

:18:39. > :18:44.plays the captain of a container vessel hijacked by Somali pirates it

:18:45. > :18:49.is another story based on real events. The flight was bumpy. The

:18:50. > :18:54.food was awful. You would think first class... . Cate Blanchett

:18:55. > :18:58.scores in Blue Jasmine. She is a strong favourite for Best Actress.

:18:59. > :19:02.As the Oscar nominations approach next week, you are the lady everyone

:19:03. > :19:07.is talking about. I hate to make this sound like a horse race, but so

:19:08. > :19:12.many people do, and you are the... People bet on it, don't they? And

:19:13. > :19:21.they are betting on you. I hope I don't disappoint. Depending on what

:19:22. > :19:27.happens in the next few hours those odds could change considerably.

:19:28. > :19:28.Thank you. And that's all from me. Now on BBC
