:03:01. > :03:08.I don't think that is the answer. What he knows is the problem is that

:05:04. > :05:21.Correspondent James Cook who's The reassurances on devolution from
:05:22. > :05:26.Westminster, how well are they going down where you are? Well, of course
:05:27. > :05:31.it depends who you speak to. Scottish politics is in a period of
:05:32. > :05:36.flux. The old certainties have gone in the wake of the referendum on
:05:37. > :05:43.Thursday. But the SNP at least does not appear to be in turmoil and has
:05:44. > :05:52.put on 10,000 members in the past few days. An increase of 40%. It is
:05:53. > :05:57.looking for a new leader, but it seems likely to be Nicola Sturgeon.
:05:58. > :06:02.It does appear there might be common ground. The SNP said they will take
:06:03. > :06:06.part in talks on further devolution. One minister suggested today that
:06:07. > :06:08.they would be considering asking for everything, apart from control of
:06:09. > :06:12.defence and foreign affairs. It is not a million miles away from the
:06:13. > :06:16.federal Britain that the Liberal Democrats want to see. So there
:06:17. > :06:21.maybe common ground there. But other parties as we have heard disagree
:06:22. > :06:26.about that and the time table looks very tight, especially if we are now
:06:27. > :06:27.into the realms of discussing radical constitutional change. Thank
:06:28. > :06:31.you. Ed Miliband says
:06:32. > :06:33.a Labour government would raise the minimum wage to ?8 an hour
:06:34. > :06:37.by the end of the next Parliament. He told his party conference
:06:38. > :06:40.in Manchester the increase will prevent ordinary working people
:06:41. > :06:41.from being left behind. The minimum wage for workers
:06:42. > :06:44.over the age of 21 is currently ?6.31p and it's due to increase
:06:45. > :06:47.to ?6.50 from the 1st October. The Labour leader says

:07:13. > :07:20.benefit when the national minimum wage goes up to ?6.50 an hour next
:07:21. > :07:25.month. An above inflation increase. Under Labour plans the rate would
:07:26. > :07:29.reach ?8 by 2020. It would make a lot of a difference. Because it is a
:07:30. > :07:35.lot for a working person, do you know? Being on a set amount per
:07:36. > :07:41.hour. I feel like people do deserve minimum ?8. To go up to ?8 would be
:07:42. > :07:48.a lot better for me and households and better income for myself. Ed
:07:49. > :07:53.Milliband met low paid workers today. He is keen to show Labour has
:07:54. > :07:57.bread and butter policies to help those struggling. And the party has
:07:58. > :08:03.dismissed suggestions the rise in the minimum wage is not affordable.
:08:04. > :08:07.The policy pays for itself and our calculations, the way we have looked
:08:08. > :08:11.at this, at the government's own figures. Because if people are
:08:12. > :08:14.earning more, they would be paying more in income tax and they will be
:08:15. > :08:19.receiving less in benefit and will have to be paying out less in tax
:08:20. > :08:23.credits. It sounds like a significant rise, but if the low
:08:24. > :08:30.commission continued to increase the minimum wage at the same average
:08:31. > :08:35.rate it has until now it would reach ?8 by 2020 in any case. A pay rise
:08:36. > :08:39.goes down with those who get it, but it is businesses who will have to
:08:40. > :08:44.meet the additional costs and some say politicians should not be
:08:45. > :08:51.setting the rate. The problem with the figure of ?8, it feels like
:08:52. > :08:55.finger in the air economics, we don't know what will happen with the
:08:56. > :08:58.economy and we think the experts on the Low Pay Commission are the best
:08:59. > :09:02.people to set the rate. Labour said it will work with companies and
:09:03. > :09:07.phase the the increase over five years. It is a meaty policy that
:09:08. > :09:11.will go down well with its core supports. But could prove an
:09:12. > :09:13.additional burden for struggling businesses. Particularly if the

:12:37. > :12:42.wanted to cross back into Syria today to battle Islamic State, but
:12:43. > :12:47.they were blocked. Turkey fears the Kurdish militia in Syria will join

:12:55. > :13:02.that happens when thousands of refugees come across the border,
:13:03. > :13:07.given the long hostility between Turks and Kurds. The air is heavy

:13:19. > :13:22.family. Turkish troops pelted with rocks before responding. Until
:13:23. > :13:27.recently Turks and Kurds were at civil war. The new wave of Kurdish
:13:28. > :13:33.refugees has shaken the peace here. For now, new arrivals find shelter

:13:45. > :13:53.here's Lizzie Greenwood Hughes Thank you. We are going to start
:13:54. > :13:58.with football. It has been a great advert for the Premier League today.
:13:59. > :14:02.Four matches to tell you about. Manchester City played Chelsea. But
:14:03. > :14:07.first to the classic that you're referring to as Leicester came from
:14:08. > :14:15.behind to beat the big spending Manchester United 5-3. Louis van
:14:16. > :14:21.Gaal is a manager who has done his fair share of signings. One being
:14:22. > :14:28.Radamel Falcao and his ball set up van Persie for Manchester United's
:14:29. > :14:33.opener. Another player is Angel Di Maria and she showed his abilities
:14:34. > :14:38.-- he showed his abilities. But Leicester are made of strong stuff
:14:39. > :14:43.and they got one back through their top scorer. But such is United's
:14:44. > :14:49.attacking prowess, any player can score any time, any how. Look at
:14:50. > :15:00.Herrera's finish. The home side scored a debatable penalty to get to
:15:01. > :15:06.3-2. But Cambiasso made it 3-3. When Vardy put Leicester ahead, their
:15:07. > :15:10.dream come back was complete surely. Not quite. Still time for a red
:15:11. > :15:13.card, another penalty and another Leicester goal. Simply stunning.
:15:14. > :15:21.After this result, it looks like Louis van Gaal will need to do more
:15:22. > :15:26.signing come January in defence. There was a different sort of match
:15:27. > :15:33.at the Etihad as Manchester City took on Chelsea. 0-0 for most of the
:15:34. > :15:36.game and very cagey. Everything changed when City's Zabaleta was
:15:37. > :15:41.sent off. It took Chelsea five minutes to take advantage. Schurrle
:15:42. > :15:46.putting them 1-0 ahead. But look who found the equaliser for City. The
:15:47. > :15:51.Chelsea legend, Frank Lampard. His first for his new club. No
:15:52. > :15:57.celebration from him. But an important goal for City. 1-1 the
:15:58. > :16:06.final score. In the other games Crystal Palace and West Brom both
:16:07. > :16:14.aboved off the foot of table. Celtic are now five points behind the
:16:15. > :16:21.leader in Scotland after they could only draw 1-1 with Motherwell. But
:16:22. > :16:28.they have a game in hand over Dundee United. Dundee United beat their
:16:29. > :16:33.rivals Dundee 4-1. Lewis Hamilton won the Singapore Grand Prix. He has
:16:34. > :16:40.a slender three-point advantage over his team mate Nico Rosberg, who had
:16:41. > :16:44.a race to forget. While Lewis Hamilton was keeping cool before the
:16:45. > :16:50.race. His title rival, Nico Rosberg, had a sweat on and it was nothing to
:16:51. > :16:56.do with the humidity in Singapore. An electrical problem proved
:16:57. > :16:59.impossible to fix. He was left standing on the formation lap.
:17:00. > :17:04.Finding himself at the front without his team mate, Lewis Hamilton made
:17:05. > :17:08.the most of it. Shooting off into a comfortable lead. The problems were
:17:09. > :17:13.mounting for Rosberg. The only thing that is working is your gear shift.
:17:14. > :17:21.He managed 14 laps before coming in. But that was the end of his race.
:17:22. > :17:27.Let's park it. Mrs Rosberg did her best to console her husband. But it
:17:28. > :17:31.us witness -- but it wasn't plain sailing for Lewis Hamilton who found
:17:32. > :17:36.himself behind Sebastian Vettel. But he soon got past and claimed his
:17:37. > :17:40.seventh win of the season. It is a dramatic change of fortune for Lewis
:17:41. > :17:47.Hamilton, who at one point trailed Nico Rosberg by 29 points.
:17:48. > :17:53.Januaritastic job this -- fan it tastic job. Now he has the upper
:17:54. > :17:56.hand for the first time since May. That is the sport.
:17:57. > :18:01.There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel,
:18:02. > :18:02.Now on BBC1 it?s time for the news where you are.
