:01:15. > :01:23.Mr Duncan Smith resigned in protest at plans to cut disability benefits
:01:24. > :01:27.But today - in a letter to the former Secretary -
:01:28. > :01:29.the Prime Minister stressed the decisions had been taken
:01:30. > :01:31.collectively - and admitted he was puzzled and disappointed
:01:32. > :01:39.Here's our Political Correspondent Vicki Young.
:01:40. > :01:41.Cheering a wage rise for low-paid workers,
:01:42. > :01:43.this was a passionate Iain Duncan Smith a year ago.
:01:44. > :01:46.A rare moment when he and the Chancellor were in agreement.
:01:47. > :01:49.But 12 months on, plans to cut benefits for the disabled
:01:50. > :01:52.In a letter to the Prime Minister he launched a blistering attack,
:01:53. > :02:05.calling the proposals "a compromise too far".
:02:06. > :02:07.The Prime Minister replied that he was "puzzled
:02:08. > :02:14.and disappointed" by the decision, a view shared by other colleagues.
:02:15. > :02:17.The Budget proposals were endorsed by the whole Cabinet on Wednesday
:02:18. > :02:20.morning before the Chancellor presented them to Parliament.
:02:21. > :02:23.He was obviously part of that process.
:02:24. > :02:26.These proposals came from his department,
:02:27. > :02:29.but it has now been acknowledged that they need more time
:02:30. > :02:33.The new man in charge of welfare changes is former

:02:39. > :02:41.the Government hopes Labour will find it hard to accuse this
:02:42. > :02:47.minister of not understanding what it's like to be on benefits.
:02:48. > :02:50.I was very sad to see Iain resign in the circumstances
:02:51. > :02:53.in which he did, but there it is real strong unity in the heart
:02:54. > :02:56.of this government in terms of continuing our important mission
:02:57. > :03:02.We know we have got to carry on making good decisions,
:03:03. > :03:04.strong decisions, to get this country back to a situation
:03:05. > :03:13.But Mr Osborne's decisions are coming in for increasing
:03:14. > :03:16.criticism from his own side, offering tax cuts for the better off
:03:17. > :03:19.at the same time as reducing benefits for the disabled has
:03:20. > :03:30.Of course these things weaken the Government and the Treasury
:03:31. > :03:33.and they weaken the impetus towards getting the deficit to balance.
:03:34. > :03:35.It's a necessary thing, absolutely necessary,
:03:36. > :03:40.it has got to be done in a way that reflects and recognises
:03:41. > :03:43.the interests of the people who, as it were, are at the bottom
:03:44. > :03:48.The personal animosity between George Osborne
:03:49. > :03:52.and Iain Duncan Smith has exploded into the open in the most dramatic
:03:53. > :03:55.way, Mr Duncan Smith has attacked the Chancellor's core economic
:03:56. > :03:57.message, accusing him of trying to balance the books with little
:03:58. > :04:04.That could have a very negative impact on party unity and on any
:04:05. > :04:10.leadership ambitions that Mr Osborne might have.
:04:11. > :04:13.But some ministers believe the real reason behind Iain Duncan Smith's
:04:14. > :04:16.resignation is his desire to leave the European Union.
:04:17. > :04:18.And by walking out now, he can cause maximum damage
:04:19. > :04:20.to the Prime Minister and Chancellor who are leading
:04:21. > :04:32.Iain Duncan Smith had the task of reforming Britain's welfare
:04:33. > :04:36.system during his six years as Work and Pensions Secretary.
:04:37. > :04:39.But his reforms frequently came into conflict with George Osborne -
:04:40. > :04:48.Our Political Correspondent, Alex Forsyth, has more.
:04:49. > :04:54.Balancing the needs of society's most vulnerable with a welfare bill
:04:55. > :04:58.that some people think is too generous is a challenge. The
:04:59. > :05:05.government says to control finances it will have to cut the cost of
:05:06. > :05:08.benefits for working age people by ?16 billion by 2020. Some argue that
:05:09. > :05:18.it makes reform tough. The Treasury has been trying... Not just cutting
:05:19. > :05:23.but using an meat axe on the budget. It is very difficult as we found
:05:24. > :05:26.under the last Blair government to reform welfare. Even when you are
:05:27. > :05:32.increasing the budget let alone cutting it. Welfare reform is what
:05:33. > :05:40.has driven Iain Duncan Smith ever since a visit to this Glasgow estate
:05:41. > :05:44.14 years ago. I'm sorry about that. It is something we take a real
:05:45. > :05:51.interest in. His flagship policy Universal Credit rolled six benefits
:05:52. > :05:56.into one, aimed at making work pay more than welfare but it was beset
:05:57. > :06:00.by delays and spiralling costs. Another change planned by the
:06:01. > :06:05.government, tax credit cuts was scrapped in the face of opposition
:06:06. > :06:07.and now reductions in personal independence payments for the
:06:08. > :06:13.disabled have been postponed which could leave a hole in the Treasury
:06:14. > :06:16.budget. The difficulty has been trying to radically overhaul a
:06:17. > :06:20.system that is a Port Melon aims of people at the same time as
:06:21. > :06:25.eliminating the deficit, that now remains the challenge for a
:06:26. > :06:27.Chancellor committed to a budget surplus, particularly when welfare
:06:28. > :06:32.spending is the government's biggest bill. Out of all spending in the
:06:33. > :06:42.last financial year more than a third went on welfare, ?258 billion.
:06:43. > :06:47.Out of that 42% went to pensions which are protected from cuts. For
:06:48. > :06:51.some it is time to revisit the generational divide. You can reform
:06:52. > :06:58.welfare and protect pensioners if that is what you choose, I don't
:06:59. > :07:01.think that is the right answer. You cannot protect pensioners and take
:07:02. > :07:04.billions of pounds out of the system, that is not possible.
:07:05. > :07:10.Renewed debate about who should benefit and who should pay, and the
:07:11. > :07:15.government says it will protect the most vulnerable but also balance the
:07:16. > :07:20.books. We can now join Alex in Downing Street. The new Work and
:07:21. > :07:24.Pensions Secretary was speedily appointed but how much fallout will
:07:25. > :07:28.there be from the resignation? The fact that a senior government figure
:07:29. > :07:31.has resigned citing policy differences will be troubling
:07:32. > :07:35.enough. It's the way that Iain Duncan Smith has done this, citing
:07:36. > :07:40.the government's core message, questioning the fact that we are all
:07:41. > :07:44.in this together, lending ammunition to its critics. That has caused the
:07:45. > :07:48.real damage and tonight some people are saying Iain Duncan Smith has
:07:49. > :07:52.always been too evangelical in pushing through his own reforms on
:07:53. > :07:56.welfare. Others say that this is much more about the EU referendum.
:07:57. > :08:01.Whatever you think of the reasons behind his resignation, what it has
:08:02. > :08:08.done is laid bare the depth of ideological division at the very
:08:09. > :08:11.heart of government. And the personal animosity between Iain
:08:12. > :08:15.Duncan Smith and the Chancellor in questioning his economic decisions,
:08:16. > :08:19.he has damaged any leadership ambitions George Osborne may have
:08:20. > :08:22.had. There is a question of party unity and this will undoubtedly
:08:23. > :08:32.heightened tensions in the debate over the European Union referendum.
:08:33. > :08:35.Thank you. Iain Duncan Smith will be giving his first interview since his
:08:36. > :08:41.resignation on The Andrew Marr Show tomorrow morning.
:08:42. > :08:44.Five people have been killed and more than 30 injured
:08:45. > :08:45.in a suicide bomb attack in Istanbul.
:08:46. > :08:48.It exploded in a busy shopping street and many
:08:49. > :08:51.It's the fourth suicide bombing in Turkey this year.
:08:52. > :08:54.From Istanbul Daniel Boettcher sent this report.
:08:55. > :08:56.Saturday morning on Istanbul's most popular shopping street.
:08:57. > :08:58.Seconds after these images there is an explosion.
:08:59. > :09:05.There were fears this city could be a target.
:09:06. > :09:15.Terrified residents running from the scene.
:09:16. > :09:20.And ambulances arriving to care for the casualties.
:09:21. > :09:26.Among those injured, at least 12 foreign nationals.
:09:27. > :09:29.This shopkeeper heard the explosion, he said he knew
:09:30. > :09:35.Another told me, people were expecting this,
:09:36. > :09:41.there had been rumours of an imminent attack.
:09:42. > :09:44.Police have sealed off the entire area, armed officers
:09:45. > :09:49.These scenes are becoming all too familiar in Turkey.
:09:50. > :09:52.This attack struck at the very heart of Istanbul.
:09:53. > :09:57.The authorities here have been unable to put a stop to these
:09:58. > :10:02.suicide bombings and Turkey is under threat on several different fronts.
:10:03. > :10:05.Kurdish militants linked to the PKK said they carried out two car bomb
:10:06. > :10:07.attacks in Ankara in less than a month in which more
:10:08. > :10:17.And so-called Islamic State were blamed for suicide bombings
:10:18. > :10:23.in the capital last October, and in Istanbul earlier this year.
:10:24. > :10:27.It isn't clear who was behind today's attack.
:10:28. > :10:29.As investigations continue, streets that would normally be
:10:30. > :10:36.Many here are wondering where this will end.
:10:37. > :10:39.One of the main suspects in the Paris attacks,
:10:40. > :10:42.Salah Abdeslam, has told investigators that he intended
:10:43. > :10:45.to blow himself up at the Stade de France during the attacks,
:10:46. > :10:49.He's been formally charged with terrorist offences
:10:50. > :10:51.following his arrest in Brussels yesterday -
:10:52. > :10:56.From there, Ben Wright sent this report.
:10:57. > :11:03.Shot in the leg during his capture, this morning Salah Abdeslam
:11:04. > :11:05.was transferred from hospital to here, police headquarters,
:11:06. > :11:18.Mr Abdeslam spoke to his lawyer for about ten minutes.
:11:19. > :11:23.I can tell you that he's collaborating with the Belgian
:11:24. > :11:26.justice and we will refuse the extradition to France, OK?
:11:27. > :11:29.France has issued a European Arrest Warrant, a process Abdeslam plans
:11:30. > :11:33.to fight, and later in the day first details of what he had
:11:34. > :11:38.TRANSLATION: Salah Abdeslam today told Belgian investigators
:11:39. > :11:40.that he planned to blow himself up at the Stade de France,
:11:41. > :11:52.However, we need to take these first statements from him with caution.
:11:53. > :11:58.Yesterday, Salah Abdeslam lost his hiding place,
:11:59. > :12:03.dragged out by police after a massive manhunt.
:12:04. > :12:06.This morning, windows smashed in the raid were crudely boarded-up.
:12:07. > :12:09.The mood in Molenbeek, edgy, disbelieving.
:12:10. > :12:11."I couldn't sleep all night," this neighbour said.
:12:12. > :12:14."The idea of Europe's most-wanted man right next to me
:12:15. > :12:23.A local imam told me he was very happy Abdeslam had been caught.
:12:24. > :12:27."These people are parasites," he said.
:12:28. > :12:29.It is extraordinary that Salah Abdeslam was found right
:12:30. > :12:35.In the days after the Paris attacks police raided a house just
:12:36. > :12:39.The family home is a five-minute walk from here.
:12:40. > :12:43.Of course, he was eventually caught in the building just there.
:12:44. > :12:46.The questions now, how long was he here, who was protecting him,
:12:47. > :12:51.and what, if anything, is he going to reveal to police?
:12:52. > :12:54.Others here did not want to talk, and there is a sense that Molenbeek
:12:55. > :12:57.has not yet given up all its secrets.
:12:58. > :13:03.Two black box flight recorders from a passenger plane that crashed
:13:04. > :13:08.in Southern Russia this morning have been found.
:13:09. > :13:10.The Boeing 737 from Dubai circled Rostov-on-Don airport
:13:11. > :13:12.for two hours before crashing short of the runway.

:14:30. > :14:33.final stop in Paris is where England hoped to claim the ultimate prize.
:14:34. > :14:37.Victory here at the Stade de France and this team's reinvention since

:14:49. > :14:53.arrive in Paris with confidence, momentum, making them favourites to
:14:54. > :14:56.beat France, and put a long era of frustration behind them. The New
:14:57. > :15:00.England coach urged his team to seize the moment and after trading
:15:01. > :15:05.penalties with France Danny Care did just that with a thrilling turn of
:15:06. > :15:10.pace to give England liftoff. This is why he was picked to start for
:15:11. > :15:14.England. Minutes later they raced further ahead, punching holes in the

:15:28. > :15:34.Indiscipline from England piled on the pressure. Then Anthony Watson
