Tens of thousands of people claiming long-term sickness benefit will no | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
longer face repeated medical assessments. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
The Work and Pensions Secretary, Damian Green, said | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
it was "pointless" to continue the practice for claimants | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
who are chronically ill and have no prospect of getting better. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
More than 2 million people receive benefit for a long-term sickness. | :00:35. | :00:52. | |
But now the government says testing them for it is pointless. People | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
receiving employment and support allowance currently undergo radical | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
-- regular medical assessments to determine if they are fit for work. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
The new plans would see them scrapped for many claimants. For | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
people who have got a serious condition that means fake can't | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
work, if that condition is good to stay the same or get worse, there is | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
no point in reassessing them. We will stop reassessing them when we | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
have worked out who they are. It will be a large number of people who | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
will help many tens of thousands. There are two groups that receive | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
long-term sickness benefit. Those in the support group received just over | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
?109 per week. But they still have to be reassessed and regular | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
periods, depending on their condition, for example, every three | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
months or Mac two years. Abolishing the results for those with chronic | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
conditions would help tens of thousands. Being written -- | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
reassessed is stressful. People are scared they will lose the money they | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
rely on for every day life to have a decent life of any kind. It is | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
really stressful. This is a good first move from the Secretary of | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
State but we want a full look at employment and support allowance. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
The politics work, welfare and disability have often proved | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
controversial. The government was criticised the parks and had to row | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
back on cuts to disability payments. It is a welcome U-turn by this | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
government following my announcement last Monday that the Labour Party | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
would be scrapping the very discredited work capability | :02:36. | :02:36. | |
assessment, which the government tried to reform in 2012. Yes, it's a | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
positive mood -- move, but the devil will be in the detail. The planned | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
changes, on the eve of the Conservative Party conference. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Ministers may hope they help to shift more focus onto their policy | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
agenda at home, as challenging questions continue over Brexit. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
The boxer, Mike Towell, has died in hospital | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
after being seriously injured in a bout on Thursday. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
The 25-year-old, from Dundee was stretchered out of the ring | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
after a fifth round loss to Dale Evans in Glasgow. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
Mike Towell was a young man hoping to make a name for himself in the | :03:09. | :03:23. | |
boxing ring. He was undefeated going into Thursday night's fight, a | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
British title eliminator against Welsh fighter Dale Evans. From the | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
opening bell, it was a tough contest. Mike Towell was knocked | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
down in the first round. When the same thing happened in the fifth, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
the referee stopped the fight. After being treated by ringside medics, he | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
was carried out macron a stretcher and taken to hospital. I knew the | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
fight wouldn't go the distance but nobody ever wants to see anybody | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
stretchered out of the ring. I hope he survives. He was placed on life | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
support with severe swelling and bleeding on the brain, but lays flat | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
-- late last night he died, his family by his bedside. On Facebook, | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
is partner said it was the longest 24-hour is of their lives. He left | :04:08. | :04:12. | |

Blackwell recovered after being placed in a coma following a fight | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
with Chris Eubank junior. Mike Towell's death has left boxing | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
stunt. The brain injury charity, headway, have renewed calls for the | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
sport to be banned. Debate will inevitably follow as a family left | :04:30. | :04:34. | |

day of the Ryder Cup, which starts in the next half hour, | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
but it's the European team It follows their opening day fight | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
back at Hazeltine. Earlier, the USA had made home | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
advantage count by winning all four opening contests in | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
the afternoon session. Patrick Reed and Jordan Speith had | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
set the tone, as Europe suffered their first whitewash | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
in a Ryder Cup session since 1981. However, spurred on by Rory Mclroy, | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
who hit an eagle, Europe recovered and took three | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
of the evening fiyr balls. By the close of play they had | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
reduced the deficit to 5-3, and you can see how much the fans | :08:14. | :08:19. | |

is already under way, Liverpool, who are unbeaten in six games, | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
are away to Swansea. But it was the home side who took | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
the lead. They have not won in the league in five matches. Leroy Fer's | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
goal may take some pressure off the manager, Francesco Guidolin. In | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
Scotland, Celtic are being kept at bay at Dundee. It is goalless at | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
half-time. The third qualifying round, | :09:16. | :09:16. | |
of the FA Cup takes place this afternoon, with clubs now | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
within touching distance Stockport County spent over | :09:20. | :09:20. | |
a century in the Football League, but now play in the sixth tier | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
of English football. Today they face last season's | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
giantkillers Salford City. Stockport County's story is perhaps | :09:30. | :09:46. | |
an all too familiar tale. Less than 20 years ago, the club was knocking | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
on the door of the Premier League. But changes in ownership and | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
management lead to successive relegation is that saw the club drop | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
into non-league five years ago. Jim Gannon has seen it all as a player | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
and manager. The club fell on hard times, came back as a manager and we | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
had a bit of a successful time. Unfortunately, a few issues caused | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
the club to fall into disarray. We find ourselves working our way back | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
to the football league. Today's opponents, Salford City Reds runner | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
different path. Under the ownership of a clutch of former Manchester | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
United stars, they are on the rise. We are trying to make our football | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
club sustainable, so it washes its own face. We do not need anybody to | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
plug any gaps in the future. That is the distinction. On Tuesday night, | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
Stockport played a team... They are investing in the club and | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
trying to make it into something great that the people of Salford can | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
be proud of. It is a pantomime. It is big rich men throwing money at | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
it. What isn't in doubt is the benefit of a cup run and the benefit | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
of cash that could mean. It is a bigger game. For me playing against | :11:11. | :11:19. | |
my old team, it is a bigger game. In 1996, Stockport took holders Everton | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
to a third round replay. Now just getting into the competition proper | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
would be a big step on their quest to revive former glories. | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
Kick-off is at 3pm. That is it for now. | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
