:00:53. > :00:59.Andreas Lubitz had waged a long battle with depression. On 24th
:01:00. > :01:03.March last year he locked his pilot out of the cockpit and aimed the
:01:04. > :01:08.Germanwings plane he was flying directly into a remote part of the
:01:09. > :01:12.French Alps, killing all 50 people on board.
:01:13. > :01:15.Against the memories of everything that can't be changed,
:01:16. > :01:24.investigators today focused on what can.
:01:25. > :01:31.Our first recommendation is a balance between medical secrets,
:01:32. > :01:35.confidentiality and public sift. We want clear rules to require
:01:36. > :01:39.healthcare providers to inform the authorities when a specific
:01:40. > :01:42.patient's health is very likely to impact public safety.
:01:43. > :01:45.Balancing patient confidentiality and public safety was difficult,
:01:46. > :01:48.they said, but Andreas Lubitz had been seen by several psychiatric
:01:49. > :01:54.doctors in the weeks before the crash, one of whom had
:01:55. > :01:56.directed him to a psychiatric hospital, information that was not

:02:36. > :02:37.the question of who could have stopped him will haunt people
:02:38. > :02:50.There have already been changes made in the European aviation industry
:02:51. > :02:54.since the Germanwings crash. New recommendations that there should be
:02:55. > :02:59.two people in the cockpit at all times. For example. But the question
:03:00. > :03:03.of how to secure the cockpit from threats both inside it and outside
:03:04. > :03:04.it still hasn't been resolved. As this report shows there are no easy

:03:12. > :03:13.has warned there will be more public He said the situation around
:03:14. > :03:17.the world was more uncertain than at any time since
:03:18. > :03:20.the financial crisis of 2008. Mr Osborne said he needed
:03:21. > :03:23.to save the equivalent of 50p in every ?100 spent
:03:24. > :03:26.by the Government, describing that Here's our political
:03:27. > :03:36.correspondent, Adam Fleming. The Chancellor said the world
:03:37. > :03:39.economy is looking increasingly unstable, which means more cuts to
:03:40. > :03:43.Government spending at home. The Treasury says that's an extra ?4
:03:44. > :03:47.billion of cuts a year by the end of the decade. The world is a more
:03:48. > :03:51.uncertain place than at any time since the financial crisis and we
:03:52. > :03:56.need to act now so we don't pay later. That's why I need to find
:03:57. > :03:59.additional savings equivalent to 50p in every ?100 the Government spends
:04:00. > :04:03.by the end of the decade, because we've got live within our means to
:04:04. > :04:08.stay secure and that's the way we make Britain fit for the future.
:04:09. > :04:12.George Osborne defended cutting benefits for more than half a people
:04:13. > :04:15.with disabilities at the same time as offering tax cuts to others. We
:04:16. > :04:19.have a very clear manifesto commitment, a promise we made to the
:04:20. > :04:24.British people, that that we would raise the personal allowance to
:04:25. > :04:28.?12,500. To raise the high rate threshold to ?50,000 so that people
:04:29. > :04:34.on middle income tax weren't caught in the higher bands of tax. We'll
:04:35. > :04:38.deliver on the manifesto but in each judgment you make at a budget, what
:04:39. > :04:43.money you've got available and what you can afford to do. His Labour
:04:44. > :04:46.opposite number quoted targets set for investment by international
:04:47. > :04:52.experts to claim the Government is getting it wrong. The OECD is saying
:04:53. > :04:57.just to stand still we should be spending just oh 3% of GDP. What
:04:58. > :05:00.George Osborne is doing is reducing that to about 1.4. That's
:05:01. > :05:06.unacceptable. What I want to do is make sure we invest in the long
:05:07. > :05:09.term, and then we can withstand the global headwinds. That's why we've
:05:10. > :05:12.seen such difficulty this week. When it comes to the referendum on the
:05:13. > :05:17.UK's membership of the EU campaigners for a Leave vote, like
:05:18. > :05:21.the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, accused the Government of using fear
:05:22. > :05:24.tactics to sway voters, but the Chancellor said the dangers were
:05:25. > :05:28.genuine. This is not some political game. This is the biggest decision
:05:29. > :05:31.facing this country for 50 years and the people who are going to be
:05:32. > :05:35.affected by that decision are not you and me. We'll be long gone from
:05:36. > :05:39.the political stage. It will be the car worker in Sunderland, the hill
:05:40. > :05:44.farmer in Wales, the bank call centre worker in Bournemouth. Their
:05:45. > :05:47.future depends on an open and engaged Britain, a Britain engaged
:05:48. > :05:51.with the European Union. It is about their future, not about ours. It
:05:52. > :05:55.will be more immediate financial concerns that will be at the
:05:56. > :05:57.forefront of politics when the Chancellor reveals the contents of
:05:58. > :06:01.his red box on Wednesday. Surrey Police have accepted mistakes

:06:40. > :06:47.years for supporting terrorism. In the first interview
:06:48. > :06:53.since his release last year, Babar Ahmad has this warning for any
:06:54. > :06:55.young people tempted to join groups like the so-called
:06:56. > :06:57.Islamic State. Don't allow yourself to be
:06:58. > :07:03.used by other people. Don't let anyone bully
:07:04. > :07:08.you that the only way to paradise is by bringing misery upon innocent
:07:09. > :07:16.people who have done nothing to you. Back in the 1990s Babar Ahmad fought
:07:17. > :07:18.alongside fellow Muslims An experience which led
:07:19. > :07:24.to him founding a website. He used it to encourage Muslims
:07:25. > :07:26.to send money and equipment Following the 9/11 attacks America
:07:27. > :07:34.tried to extradite him. He challenged that move for eight
:07:35. > :07:36.years but was eventually sentenced Looking back he now describes his
:07:37. > :07:42.support for the Taliban as naive. The initial motives were I did
:07:43. > :07:47.it in good faith but, in hindsight, I regret doing that
:07:48. > :07:51.and it was naive of me to do that because it was a
:07:52. > :07:57.complicated situation. His ordeal lasted 12 years
:07:58. > :08:02.but he is back home as the US judge concluded he was not
:08:03. > :08:03.an al-Qaeda terrorist. You can watch the full
