Good morning. After the Jubilee celebrations, some are looking | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
forward to the future of the monarchy. There's a strange | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
coincidence of stories in this morning's Sunday Times. A poll | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
showing Prince Charles, not Prince William, is now most popular choice. | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
That has not happened for long time and then you turn inside. Second, a | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
story revealing that plants, corn saplings to be precise, not only | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
make sounds, little clicks, but when the sounds are played at them | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
by loudspeakers, respond. They can here. It was of course Prince | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Charles who once perhaps unwisely revealed that he liked to talk to | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
plants and "they respond, I find." Cue much laughter. Well, the world | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
is most stranger than we think. Joining me today for our review of | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
the Sunday newspapers we have media old and new. Philip Collins writes | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
for The Times. And Carla Buzasi is Editor in Chief of The Huffington | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
Post UK. That's the online newspaper. So with another 100 | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
billion euros earmarked to help Spanish banks, 100 billion, just | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
what can be done to get our struggling economies moving again? | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
One man who knows about growth is Sir Terry Leahy who made Tesco by | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
one measure, the world's third biggest retailer. He'll tell us | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
about how he did it. And answer claims that Tesco has hollowed out | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
the High Street. And of course, one consequence of the eurozone chaos | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
may be further migration into Britain. The Home Secretary Theresa | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
May will reveal new plans to bring the numbers down. The government's | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
failed so far. And we'll be talking to her about whether British voters | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
deserve their own say, a referendum, on Europe. Speaking of European | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
immigrants to Blighty, the fictional Belgian detective Hercule | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Poirot never had to worry about that kind of thing. David Suchet is | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
planning a new series and he has a play in the West End as well. As | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
England prepare for their opening Euro 2012 match in Ukraine tomorrow, | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
racism threatens to cast a shadow over the tournament. The Chairman | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
of the Players Union tells us what he thinks the authorities should do. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
Finally, the Queen of Indie Pop, getting ready to headline more | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
festivals this summer. Florence and her Machine are here with a | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
stripped down version of one of their new songs. Busy morning. | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
Let's kick off with the news with Good morning. The Chancellor, | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
George Osborne, has warned that the debt crisis in the Eurozone is | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
killing off Britain's chances of economic recovery. In an article in | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
the Sunday Telegraph, he says he's frustrated that EU leaders have | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
failed to stabilise the single currency. His comments come as | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
officials in Washington and Berlin welcomed Spain's request for | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
financial help from the eurozone for its troubled banks. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
After repeated denials that it needed international help, last | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
night, Spain admitted what many had feared, that it would seek a bail- | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
out for its ailing banks. After a call to European finance ministers | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
that lasted two-and-a-half hours, Spain's economy minister confirmed | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
the country would ask for support from Europe. But Spain is keen to | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
point out that this is not a rescue. There are no tough conditions | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
attached like those demanded of Greece. Spain, though, has not said | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
how much it will need. Despite reports it could be as much as 100 | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
billion euros. Instead, Spain will wait for the result of an audit due | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
within the next two weeks. TRANSLATION: No other system in | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Europe is as transparent or clear. We will see the figures and from | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
then on we will go on into the details. But the financial markets | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
could deliver a verdict much sooner than that audit. Spain is the 4th | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
largest economy in at the eurozone and that is worrying for investors. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
They are likely to judge whether Spain has done us when trade begins | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
:04:45. | :04:47. | ||
The spotlight then shipped back to Greece where voters go to the polls | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
again. That has been seen as a referendum on the euro. It may | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
bring clarity to Greece, but could equally plunged Europe back into | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
turmoil. People in France are voting today, in the first round of | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
parliamentary elections. The result will determine whether the new | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
President, Francois Hollande, is able to push through radical tax | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
and spending policies, to try to tackle the government's deficit, | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
without cutting welfare budgets. More rain is expected in Wales | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
today, and one flood warning remains in place, because of high | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
river levels. A clean up has started after severe flooding | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
yesterday led to a major rescue operation. About 1,000 people were | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
forced to leave their homes after five inches of rain fell in 24 | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
hours. The number of people affected by | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
the outbreak of Legionnaires disease in Edinburgh has risen to | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
36. One person has died and 15 are in intensive care. Health officials | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
expect the number of cases to start falling this week. They are still | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
trying to confirm the source of the infection. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Children at all primary schools in England will learn foreign | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
languages, if a proposed overhaul of the national curriculum goes | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
ahead. The Education Secretary Michael Gove says making language | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
lessons compulsory for the first time would help future generations | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
compete in a global economy. There are also plans to change the way | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
English is taught, with a greater emphasis on spelling and grammar. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
That's all from me, for now. I'll be back just before ten o'clock | :06:12. | :06:22. | |
Thank you, Naga. Now, on the front pages today. Everyone has different | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
stories this morning. The Telegraph has the George Osborne story and a | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
picture of Guantanamo Bay. The Mail on Sunday has gone for top stores | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
being attacked for allowing people to gamble while they are shopping | :06:38. | :06:47. | |
online. The Observer newspaper has a picture about something we will | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
talk about later on. A young people have to rent rather than buy houses. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
The world has changed for them. Lots of football, of course. Roy | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
Hodgson, no sweat. The Sunday Times, they have got a story about judges | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
being told to get tough on immigrants. That is what we're | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
going to talk to Theresa May about, as well, and finally the | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Independent on Sunday has Eric Pickles, that the committee | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
secretary, talking about problem families. We will discuss that with | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
our two wonderful paper review was. The Times and the macro or | :07:23. | :07:33. | |
:07:33. | :07:36. | ||
xylophone. Carla Buzasi from the Huffington Post UK. And Phil | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
Collins from the Times. The this is a story in the Times, a story which | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
has been running for a few weeks now. There's been some great TV | :07:48. | :07:57. | |
programmes about it. People have been exposed for trolling on it | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
Twitter. It is being at unbelievably abusive and personally | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
offensive whilst hiding behind anonymity. Absolutely pulls up you | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
sit on comments on it Facebook, Twitter, and it's becoming more and | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
more prevalent on the sites. We finally have someone who has got | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
the police involved and is forcing Facebook to reveal their identities. | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
It's not their actual identities but there internet address. There | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
is no guarantee who will -- who has left the Commons will be found out. | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
We are going to see a mass of potentially big lawsuits. Less | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
anonymity on the internet. Absolutely. It's hard to avoid the | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
Spanish bale-out. Critics of the European Union always always say | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
the bad thing about it is there is this horrible plan towards | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
federalism but the truth is, there is no plan at all. We are lurching | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
from one crisis to the next. The latest instalment in the slow | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
rescue of the euro is 100 billion euros for the Spanish banks. As you | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
can imagine, that amount of money going to Spanish banks has gone | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
down extremely badly in Spain but it's probably still the case, the | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
euro was a terrible idea but letting it go would be even worse, | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
so another summit is coming up at the end of June when the Germans | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
will be prevailed upon again, will they come forward with the capital | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
to save it? It still remains the central question. Does the German | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
fear of inflation stop them what they have to do? In terms of our | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
economy, these sums are unimaginable. Here is another 100 | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
billion euros for you, but is it the case our politicians have any | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
control over what happening to the economy and the lack of growth? | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
are sucked into some extent. France, Germany, the eurozone has avoided | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
recession and we haven't. You can't entirely attribute it to the | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
eurozone. Of course, it has an effect. At the moment, the Tory | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
party is about to indulge itself in a referendum about fantasy, which | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
is to say a Europe which has not exist, common trading bloc without | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
the European Union, calling for a referendum on this, is like calling | :10:22. | :10:32. | |
:10:32. | :10:38. | ||
for a referendum on nanny a. -- Narnia. A lot of people would like | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
that. But it doesn't exist. have chosen a story relating to the | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
human cost. There is a 10% rise in women over 30 having abortions and | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
they are blaming that on at the recession forced. They are worried | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
about their careers, more women are out of work than men have since the | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
recession started. The pro-life lobby will seize on this and there | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
is a quote in the story where they are saying women are using this as | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
a quick way of getting rid of children and I don't think this is | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
something anybody goes into in a light-hearted manner but yet | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
another example of how the recession is affecting everybody on | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
a personal level. It's also saying the number of teenagers having | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
abortions has gone down. All the headlines, it's terrible, actually | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
it is decreasing. Interesting story. We have to talk about the obvious | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
course of Douglas Alexander, Labour politician, on a slightly | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
unexpected story. Yes, it's always good to hear from him on football. | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
That's what we have got in the Mail on Sunday and despite the lurid | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
headline, the Caci makes is a very considered one. I think he's right | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
about it. -- that case he makes will up if players are forced to | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
walk of off-field because of racist abuse, they should be supported. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
They should go to the referee and ask for an intercession and if the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
referee does not do anything and it is intolerable and the player | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
things, I'm not playing in these circumstances and walks off, they | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
will be booked according to Uefa, but they should be backed. You | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
can't play in those circumstances. We are going to talk to Clarke | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
Carlisle from the PFA later. started quite well in the first few | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
games but that does not appear to be a problem so far for club this | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
is a great issues for MPs to get behind at the moment. There is also | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
a political question. The opposition leader in the Ukraine is | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
in prison. The British Government has a peculiar position where they | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
are not going to go there for the group stages but if England get | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
through they might go for the later ones. A very strange position. | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
That's more to do with the fact that if we get through and those | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
matches were in Poland, but they wouldn't have an issue. Your next | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
Tory. If you're feeling a bit depressed do not buy the | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
Independent on Sunday today. If you do, make sure you have taken Prozac | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
first. Celebrate your big day as if it's your last. You are likely to | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
die on your birthday. Is the end of the world coming? This is | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
everything which is going on in America summed up in one very | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
depressing headline. And when your Olympic dream dies, you face the | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
nightmare alone, a sad story about people who win Olympic medals and | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
then a left bereft afterwards for the it's true. All problems in the | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
world, I think I could cope with that one. It has to be said the | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
Independent on Sunday has a very, very downbeat feeling this morning. | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
We need some royal stories. Jubilee coverage is still going on. But | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
they don't do that so they have to fill it up with terrible stories. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
lot of Sunday newspapers don't have a very many old fashioned reporters | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
left two to go out and get stories. They will be looking at Huffington | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
Post thinking... How many actual journalists have you got? 23. A lot | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
of papers would love that. Most of them are reporting but we also have | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
a blog team because that's a big part of the Huffington Post. 3,000 | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
:14:36. | :14:38. | ||
people. That is more opinion led things. 3,000 opinions? Yes, 3,000. | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
Maybe that's the future. Government's pull your socks up | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
merchant, Eric Pickles, is using West Side story to get into the | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
question of problem families. They blame their parents and their | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
background for everything. He says they've had it far too easy and we | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
have to stop being so correct about them and start hitting them hard up. | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
Not literally, I hope. I don't know. The interesting thing about this, | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
there is a serious problem, and what the Government is trying to do | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
is pay by the results they get and that the interesting thing for a | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
policy point of view. Getting people to work? Yes, or getting | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
children to read better, you set up a measure and you only get paid if | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
you improve things. It's difficult to work out a child's reading | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
standards and pay some body for that. It's difficult. The devil is | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
in trying to work out what it is that Marx and bodies improvement. | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
It's not impossible. It's intriguing that what they are | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
trying to do because governments for years have tried to deal with | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
this. Problem families. They used to be 250,000 of them in and now | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
they are saying it's half that. However many you get, they do | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
commit the vast majority of crime, so he's not wrong to think there is | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
a serious problem here. OK. We're running out of time it so let's go | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
:16:19. | :16:23. | ||
It is a big week for the Leveson Inquiry. We keep saying it is a big | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
week for that, which seems to have been rolling on forever, but we | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
have David Cameron. Everybody will be watching on Wednesday. Will he | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
get tripped up? The trilby an interesting few days. The renting | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
story, we have mentioned already briefly, but we should acknowledge | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
that many people will have to rent. There is a fascinating picture you | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
have picked up. This is the flag as it might look if Scotland became | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
independent, and the interesting thing here is not only is the | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
Scottish move gone, but the Welsh dragon is inserted. At the moment | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
the Union Jack does not include the dragon because it was considered a | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
principality, but in the new design them as a Welsh dragon in the | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
bottom corner. It seems very sad when our streets are festooned with | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
Union Jack bunting. Unfortunately the sexual depravity of penguins is | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
one of the stories we are unable to bring you. You will have to read | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
the newspapers yourself. With whales underwater, heavy wind | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
on Friday, and even where it isn't raining of brisk feel to the air, | :17:44. | :17:53. | |
are we doomed to miss another It is another week of that to be | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
honest. Even though some of you have some sunny weather at the | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
moment, there will be more showers brewing in the UK today. Thicker | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
cloud in the south of England, which is producing a few spots of | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
rain, which will turn heavier and more persistent through the day. | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
North of that, we continue with some sunny spells across northern | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
England. Through the afternoon, northern England and central | :18:22. | :18:32. | |
:18:32. | :18:35. | ||
southern Scotland will have some heavy down -- downpours. | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
Temperatures will stay up at about 12 degrees Celsius. For the return | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
to work and school, it is wet across southern England. Some | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
showers possible in the north, not as many as we saw in the weekend, | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
but temperatures will be struggling to 16 degrees at the best. The week | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
will be cool with showers, even longer spells of rain at times. | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
The eurozone remains on the brink, but are we listening closely enough | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
to the drivers in the economy? Sir Terry Leahy made Tesco the third | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
largest retailer and at its peak the company took one in every �7 | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
spent on the UK high street, but since then it has had troubles of | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
its own. What is his assessment of the current turmoil? A massive | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
amount of worry about the economy in general, just give your headline | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
in general, just give your headline thoughts on that to start with. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
It has been a very difficult period because there has been a double | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
whammy - the financial crisis itself would be very difficult to | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
recover from on its own, and you are seeing the problems in Europe, | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
but beneath that the oil price since 2010 has nearly doubled. By | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
some measures, that alone would not nearly 3% off growth, so Paul | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
Western economies are struggling to manage these things at the same | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
time. It is difficult for one economy to break free, but if I was | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
George Osborne what would you be telling me to do? I think the broad | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
plan is right. You have got to keep the confidence of the markets. | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
Governments have been trying to do too much, they have got to spend a | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
little less, but beneath that we have got a look at how economies | :20:33. | :20:43. | |
:20:43. | :20:44. | ||
grow and win need the government to do a little less, but will also | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
spend in investment because that increases capacity for growth. | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
about employment and social mobility? You famously started from | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
the bottom, you literally got on a bike and you started packing | :21:01. | :21:10. | |
shelves. Is that happening enough these days to the 15 year-old Terry | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
Leahys out there? I see a lot of bright kids starting businesses but | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
it doesn't have -- happen enough. I had the greater advantage of | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
getting a scholarship to a grammar school, and that catapulted me into | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
the big wide world. That is harder to do now, and for the people from | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
poorer backgrounds, they do need a leg up to get into society. Let's | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
talk about Tesco, where you have brought a massive growth, but some | :21:43. | :21:53. | |
:21:53. | :22:00. | ||
people think it is too successful. A lot of family businesses are | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
crowded out by Tesco. What do you say to that view? It is | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
controversial, and it is important to have a debate about how Tesco | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
has been successful. Tesco was not created by diktat of legislation, | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
Tesco grew because customers shop there, and they do have a choice. | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
Everybody has a choice, so if Tesco stopped looking after the customer | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
and creating benefit, then customers can and do go elsewhere. | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
Do you feel in any sense queasy about what has happened to so many | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
high streets? Because they have been hollowed out with a lot of | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
charity shops and traditional businesses closing. It is a problem | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
because some of the high streets are medieval, Victorian, and they | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
were designed for a different economy. They have to change as | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
people shop and the way they live their lives changed. Just look at | :23:01. | :23:11. | |
:23:11. | :23:11. | ||
the internet. By some estimates, a third of non-food purchases will be | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
on the internet in a few years' time. We have got to make high | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
streets more attractive places to beat and spend time. Since you left, | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
Tesco has had a tough time. The first profits warning for a long | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
time, and some people say you saw it coming and got out in time, some | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
people say your successors have messed things up. Which is it? | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
Neither. Any business will show wear and tear coming through the | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
recession, but remember Tesco is very strong and profitable. It has | :23:48. | :23:56. | |
a very good market position, it is a British success story. The | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
recovery is coming and they are investing ahead of the record to | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
improve the customer offer. So you would have done nothing different, | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
have you stayed on? It is hard to know but I suspect I would have | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
been doing the same thing. Remember, this is a very competitive market, | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
and competitors don't sit around making it easy. Half the employees | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
are now outside the UK, a big expansion outside, will that be the | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
future? One of the big questions seems to be how we are going to | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
make our way in the world, what we will be good at. Do you think | :24:39. | :24:48. | |
:24:49. | :24:49. | ||
retail, the export of retailing ideas, is a wealth maker? I do, and | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
the British retail industry is probably the best in the world, and | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
we are one of the leaders on e- commerce now, the new industry. We | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
should go out around the world and compete, find the best and see if | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
we can learn from them and take them on. That is the future for the | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
British economy, to engage more in markets like Asia and Latin America. | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
In your book you go through a series of things that are important. | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
If you were singling out one message for people to take away | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
from your book, what would it be? Truth, because you have got to find | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
out what is going on around you and face up to the difficult questions. | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
If you can do that, the problem is half solved. What is ahead for you? | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
I am still in business but now I invest in smaller start-up | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
businesses and help them to grow, and that is what the economy. | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
you. As England prepare for their | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
opening Euro 2012 match in the Ukraine tomorrow, the conduct of | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
local supporters threatens to overshadow the football itself. The | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
Dutch players found themselves abused by local spectators when | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
they were training this week, and now the footballers who respond to | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
racist chanting by walking off will get into trouble themselves, so how | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
should they react? Clarke Carlisle is chairman of the Professional | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
Footballers' Association. Thank you for coming in. How seriously do you | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
think we should be taking these warnings of major racist abuse | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
coming from the terraces in the Ukraine? I think we need to take | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
them very seriously because I was in Poland myself four weeks ago, | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
went to the Krakow Derby, and had first-hand experience of racist | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
abuse, hooliganism and anti- Semitism all in one game, not long | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
after speaking to the chief of police who said there had been no | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
reported incidents in the last 18 months. What we are being told and | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
reported is vastly different. should players do? One politician | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
this morning said if there is serious racist abuse, and the | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
referee is not intervening, walk off. That is the order of play, I | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
think. If you can see the officials are not handling the situation, you | :27:27. | :27:36. | |
are well within your rights to walk off the pitch. We don't want any | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
discrimination in football, so this will be a real test of UEFA to see | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
if they have empowered their officials to take control of these | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
situations. If the referee has stopped the game and it is the few | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
individuals, they are being sorted out, then you would be happy | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
because you know what is being dealt with. If not, England players | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
should walk off? If it happened to me, I would want to walk off the | :28:04. | :28:10. | |
pitch because I don't think anybody should be abused in their workplace. | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
If UEFA saying you will be disciplined if you do, that is not | :28:13. | :28:19. | |
an acceptable response? Their remit is obviously to hope that their | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
officials are taking control of it so they are speaking in the thought | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
process that the referee has taken control of it and that will be the | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
ultimate test. If they are, the players won't have to walk off the | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
pitch. We have had trouble in this country as well and there has been | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
a lot of controversy about the fact Rio Ferdinand has not been selected | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
this time. We have had the England manager speaking out about it this | :28:46. | :28:51. | |
morning. What is your take on that? It is fantastic Roy Hodgson has | :28:51. | :28:55. | |
spoken about it this morning because hopefully that will have | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
put to bed some rumours flying around about this. He has | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
categorically stated that Rio Ferdinand was not in the back up | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
group of players to be selected so it was nothing to do with the | :29:08. | :29:13. | |
ongoing situation, and that is what was necessary. We needed some | :29:13. | :29:18. | |
transparency, we needed someone to come out and say the reasons why he | :29:18. | :29:26. | |
was not selected. Even non-football experts like myself know there are | :29:26. | :29:32. | |
issued a number of injuries hitting the England team in particular. Do | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
you think it is the case that the length of the season and having | :29:35. | :29:42. | |
missed at the end, be a large just exhausted and overtired, and that | :29:42. | :29:47. | |
is a structural issue that needs to be looked at? This has been mooted | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
on many occasions, before every major championships we have had | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
over the last 20 years, and it definitely is a possibility. It is | :29:56. | :30:02. | |
a long season, especially for the elite players, playing up words of | :30:03. | :30:07. | |
16 games this season, in Europe, domestically and internationally. | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
It is a demanding season, but if we did bring in some kind of a winter | :30:12. | :30:17. | |
break, it would only serve to condense the amount of time we play | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
these games in. The only answer would be to cut down the amount of | :30:21. | :30:26. | |
games played in a season, which in the capitalistic way the game is | :30:26. | :30:35. | |
nowadays, it won't happen. Not too exhausted to come to speak to us. | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
David Suchet is loved by millions of people for his portrayal of | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
Agatha Christie's detective Hercule Poirot, a role he has been | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
perfecting for more than 20 years. He is a superb theatre actor as | :30:48. | :30:55. | |
well, currently starring in the West End American classic French | :30:55. | :31:05. | |
:31:05. | :31:10. | ||
dint alcohol, pain and guilt. I You seemed a bit high strung? | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
have nonsense in your imagination and you really must not watch me | :31:14. | :31:19. | |
all the time, James, it makes me self-conscious. Now, that's your | :31:19. | :31:25. | |
imagination. And if I have watched you, it was to admire how beautiful | :31:25. | :31:32. | |
you looked. I can't tell you the deep happiness it gives me to see | :31:32. | :31:37. | |
you as you have been since you came back to us. Your dear old self | :31:37. | :31:47. | |
:31:47. | :31:47. | ||
again. And David Suchet is with me. Welcome. What we were seeing their, | :31:47. | :31:53. | |
the reason he is watching her so carefully is an underlying theme, | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
she has had a serious morphine addiction. And this business about | :31:57. | :32:02. | |
being fat, he hopes she's getting over it. Yes, he is in denial, | :32:02. | :32:08. | |
really. He has been noticing that she has been tense for the past few | :32:08. | :32:13. | |
days and, historically, for 25 years, she has been addicted to | :32:13. | :32:22. | |
morphine. Due to pain in childbirth, she was given morphine and he was | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
responsible for not paying for a good doctor, so he feels guilty. | :32:26. | :32:34. | |
Your character is an actor. He has been too cowardly to be the best | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
actor he could be and has taken a role which has been to lucrative in | :32:38. | :32:43. | |
a travelling production. Yes, he saw the equivalent of what a young | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
actor could now see in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Company doing | :32:47. | :32:53. | |
really serious drama and suddenly Hollywood comes knocking and you go | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
for the big money. In those days, the big money was a really good | :32:57. | :33:02. | |
part in a theatre play, so he was a Shakespearean actor, and we are | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
talking about this play being seven autobiography for -- semi | :33:08. | :33:12. | |
autobiographical because Eugene O'Neill, it's a mirror image of his | :33:12. | :33:16. | |
father. He took the role of the Count of Monte Christow and gave up | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
Shakespeare. He wouldn't allow the pay to be shown in his lifetime | :33:20. | :33:28. | |
because it is too painful. And I was just thinking, there's every | :33:28. | :33:32. | |
way we can match -- a mess up our lives, addiction, alcohol, | :33:33. | :33:38. | |
cowardice, cruelty, it's all there in one family, very intense. It's | :33:38. | :33:42. | |
extremely intense and very, very hard and demanding but it's the | :33:42. | :33:49. | |
only place I have ever been in that I read that Eugene O'Neill never | :33:49. | :33:54. | |
intended to put on stage and he only wanted published a 25 years | :33:54. | :34:02. | |
after his death. He was using this played, his method of writing drama, | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
as an exorcism for getting on to paper the tragedy of his own life | :34:06. | :34:12. | |
and family. We will talk about Hercule Poirot in a moment but you | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
have had such a successful career on television. What is it about | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
putting yourself through something like this which is clearly | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
addictive because it's not the first time you will put yourself in | :34:24. | :34:30. | |
a really long, tough, American play. I don't know. I find myself playing | :34:30. | :34:38. | |
so many American roles on stage. I think because it really fall fails | :34:38. | :34:44. | |
the pure equation of why I became an actor, to be the mouthpiece for | :34:44. | :34:49. | |
playwrights in the theatre. Without them, actors would not have a voice | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
and some of the greatest voices are from really big dramatic plays. | :34:55. | :35:00. | |
none more so than this one. You're doing the final series of Hercule | :35:00. | :35:06. | |
Poirot. We start in October. This is going to be quite a | :35:06. | :35:10. | |
heartbreaking moment, not only for the fans watching but I guess for | :35:10. | :35:14. | |
yourself, because you haven't lived with this man and adapted the | :35:14. | :35:19. | |
character over the years and developed it and so on are. Do you | :35:20. | :35:29. | |
feel a bereavement? Yes, I will feel that. I will feel very pleased | :35:29. | :35:35. | |
that I have accomplished the complete canon of work. Every novel, | :35:35. | :35:39. | |
short story that Agatha Christie ever wrote involving Hercule Poirot | :35:39. | :35:45. | |
will have been performed by you. Yes, on July 15th, I will do a play | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
Reading at the Chichester Festival of the only play Agatha Christie | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
wrote for him as well, black coffee. There are no more stories by Agatha | :35:54. | :36:01. | |
Christie. And so I will be putting him to bed and that's a very | :36:01. | :36:07. | |
strange feeling for me. Your film and has backwards, I understand? | :36:07. | :36:16. | |
It's the last story and it means that it's the last story. The book | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
is called Curtain falls of it doesn't do the big imagination to | :36:20. | :36:24. | |
work at what happens. We were going to that last but thought about it | :36:24. | :36:28. | |
carefully have thought, no, it's got to come first because then I | :36:28. | :36:33. | |
don't have to leave, nearly a quarter of a century of playing | :36:33. | :36:38. | |
this man, and having to literally bury him and trying to deal with | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
that, so we are doing that one first and I can leave him while | :36:42. | :36:48. | |
he's still alive. How long does it take to do this? I will be on from | :36:48. | :36:53. | |
October, on and off, through to the end of 20th July 13. It's going to | :36:53. | :36:59. | |
be quite an emotional roller- coaster. Yes, it will be an | :36:59. | :37:03. | |
extraordinary year. I will never forget it. Well listen, thank you | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
very much. A great pleasure. Before the last election, the Prime | :37:08. | :37:10. | |
minister David Cameron made a pledge. We'll reduce the annual | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
rate of immigration to tens of thousands. Two years into his | :37:14. | :37:18. | |
Premiership, he might be wishing he hadn't. Annual net migration in the | :37:18. | :37:23. | |
year to September was a quarter of a million. Almost identical to the | :37:23. | :37:30. | |
year before. 25 tens of millions. This morning, the Home Secretary | :37:30. | :37:33. | |
Theresa May is unveiling new plans to make it harder to bring in | :37:33. | :37:36. | |
foreign relatives, and make it easier to deport foreign criminals. | :37:36. | :37:42. | |
But will the judges play along? Mrs May joins me now. Welcome. Good | :37:42. | :37:48. | |
morning. Let's talk about the most important of these measures, which | :37:48. | :37:52. | |
is to break -- greatly increase the amount of income you have to have | :37:52. | :37:59. | |
to bring in a migrant husband or wife or children. If you want to | :37:59. | :38:03. | |
bring in relatives, explained to us how the new system will work. | :38:03. | :38:06. | |
Perhaps I could set it in the context of the wider issue of net | :38:06. | :38:11. | |
migration. We want to reduce it to tens of thousands and we have said, | :38:11. | :38:17. | |
in doing that, we would look at every aspect of immigration, non e | :38:17. | :38:22. | |
u economic migrants, student visas and settlements, and now family, | :38:22. | :38:26. | |
and this is not just about the numbers in terms of family because | :38:26. | :38:29. | |
we think it's right that somebody who wants to bring some body into | :38:29. | :38:35. | |
the UK to join them as a partner, should be able to support them | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
financially at not be bringing them in on the basis they are going to | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
be reliant on the state and that's... How much money do need to | :38:43. | :38:49. | |
have to bring a husband or wife in? �18,600. We ask our advisory | :38:49. | :38:53. | |
committee to look at the figures and to advise as as to what that | :38:53. | :38:58. | |
could be. They set a range and we have chosen at the lower end of the | :38:58. | :39:03. | |
range, the point people would normally not be reliant on benefits. | :39:03. | :39:11. | |
We think that is an important point. What about children, aunts and | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
uncles and grannies and so on? relation to children, we think it | :39:15. | :39:24. | |
right that the income should be increased for each child, so one | :39:24. | :39:34. | |
child, 22,400 pound, and then 2,400 pound for every other child each. I | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
think that's right. It's important that if people are bringing people | :39:36. | :39:42. | |
into the UK to create a family, we say that you should be able to | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
support yourselves and not be reliant on the state. There is a | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
British test you are going to bring in as well. Yes, it's not just | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
about numbers but also about looking at people being able to | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
support themselves in the UK and integrate into society also we | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
think that's important so for settlement from next year, we | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
expect people to be able to speak English to a certain level, | :40:07. | :40:12. | |
understand English, and also to do a life in the UK test, so we know | :40:13. | :40:17. | |
they can integrate and become part of society here. What we are doing | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
in terms of family migration is not just about those aspects. It's also | :40:21. | :40:28. | |
about this issue called article 8. I want to come on to that. The | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
right to family life in the human rights legislation but before we do | :40:32. | :40:38. | |
that, you must have seen estimates in your department about what these | :40:38. | :40:44. | |
measures will do in terms of net immigration. How many fewer | :40:44. | :40:47. | |
immigrants do you expect to come into this country as a result? | :40:47. | :40:54. | |
is not big numbers, the family migration, not just about numbers | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
for family migration. It's about setting out clearly the rules in | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
relation to article 8, but also about some important principles | :41:03. | :41:08. | |
about people being able to support themselves so it's not in itself | :41:08. | :41:12. | |
about numbers because the large numbers, what makes the major | :41:12. | :41:18. | |
difference in terms of the overall net migration is student visas. | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
and has been altered issues around that. Let's talk odd article 8, | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
which affects people who you want to remove from the country but | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
can't remove at the moment because they are going to court and saying | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
I have a right to family life, I have married his person, I have | :41:34. | :41:40. | |
this child, and whatever I have done as a criminal in this country, | :41:40. | :41:45. | |
you can't get rid of me. problem is, article 8 is in the | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
European Convention on Human Rights and if you look at it, there are | :41:48. | :41:52. | |
two parts, the first saying you are right to a family life and the | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
second says that actually, governments unqualified are right. | :41:57. | :42:01. | |
It's not an absolute right, so in the interests of the economy and | :42:01. | :42:05. | |
controlling migration, public order and those sort of issues, the state | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
has a ride to qualify this right to family life. What has been | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
happening up until now, we have seen cases going to court where | :42:13. | :42:19. | |
criminals who we want to deport have been able to stay in the UK | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
because the courts have said, you have a right to family life. And | :42:23. | :42:27. | |
they haven't been qualifying it, even in the way the European | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
Convention enabled them to do. I'm going to set out the rules which | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
says this is what the public and Parliament believe is how you | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
balance the public interest against the individual. You get a | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
parliamentary vote, a lot of lawyers say that this is absolutely | :42:45. | :42:52. | |
not the job of MPs or commentators of any kind and judges make | :42:52. | :42:55. | |
distinctions of this kind, interpret the law, and they will | :42:55. | :43:00. | |
carry on doing that in the way they see fit no matter what motion goes | :43:00. | :43:06. | |
through Parliament. It also been said by some in the legal | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
profession but one of the problems in interpreting it at the moment is | :43:08. | :43:11. | |
that Parliament has an been clear enough about what it believes the | :43:11. | :43:19. | |
right to family life is, and Parliament is going to set that out | :43:19. | :43:23. | |
and ask parliament to vote on this to say very clearly what we think | :43:23. | :43:30. | |
constitutes the right to family life. Will judge us carry on as | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
before? We balance the interests of the public and the individual. I | :43:35. | :43:41. | |
expect judges will look at what Parliament says and will follow and | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
take into account what Parliament has said. If they don't, we will | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
have to look at other measures including primary legislation. | :43:49. | :43:54. | |
Given that we are signatories to this Act, this international | :43:54. | :43:59. | |
agreement, it's impossible, isn't it, for Parliament to change the | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
effective law when it comes to this? The parliament is not | :44:03. | :44:08. | |
changing it. What are we will ask parliament to do is to set out the | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
qualifications which we are entitled to set out under the | :44:11. | :44:15. | |
European Convention itself and one of the interesting things is, if | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
you look of the cases we have seen, there some instances with the | :44:18. | :44:23. | |
European Court has been tougher than our own courts, for example we | :44:23. | :44:28. | |
tend not to look at whether some body has been here for a number of | :44:28. | :44:32. | |
years lawfully or illegally, whereas the European Court takes a | :44:32. | :44:37. | |
tougher view on those who have built up rights over a number of | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
years and have been hit illegally. They say we should pay less | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
attention to that so we are taking what is in the Convention itself | :44:43. | :44:48. | |
and saying it's right we apply this in Parliament. This does not get | :44:48. | :44:53. | |
big numbers, I think it's important to do this in article 8 but in | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
terms of net migration overall, we are seeing differences in student | :44:57. | :45:07. | |
:45:07. | :45:14. | ||
Ken Clarke, Justice Secretary backing this? Yes, he has agreed to | :45:14. | :45:20. | |
it. A lot of people think, as we go through the meltdown in the euro, | :45:20. | :45:25. | |
and really intense problems in a lot of southern European economies, | :45:25. | :45:31. | |
we will see a lot of internal migration coming from Europe. If | :45:31. | :45:37. | |
that happens at a dramatic level, what can you do about it? We are | :45:37. | :45:43. | |
looking at contingency arrangements. So far we are not seeing a trend in | :45:43. | :45:47. | |
increased movement, despite significant problems already in a | :45:47. | :45:51. | |
number of eurozone countries, but it is right that we look at the | :45:51. | :45:58. | |
contingency arrangements that might be needed. What could you do if you | :45:58. | :46:02. | |
are worried? The whole point of doing the work is to look to see | :46:02. | :46:07. | |
what it would be possible to do, and what it would be appropriate to | :46:07. | :46:11. | |
do in certain circumstances. I will not make any judgments at this | :46:11. | :46:17. | |
stage, but it is right to look at it properly. Talking to you as a | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
leading Conservative member of the Cabinet, rather than Home Secretary, | :46:21. | :46:26. | |
what is your view about the referendum issue? If, as appears | :46:27. | :46:32. | |
now quite likely, the eurozone takes deeper measures, brings | :46:32. | :46:38. | |
itself closer together and create a stronger Corps, that will break the | :46:38. | :46:42. | |
effect of what Europe means and affect our relationship with the | :46:42. | :46:47. | |
rest of the EU. Many Conservatives feel that at that moment the | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
promise of a referendum can no longer be ignored. We have done | :46:51. | :46:59. | |
something no government has done previously. we passed an Act of | :46:59. | :47:04. | |
Parliament saying that if there is a treaty taking powers from Britain | :47:04. | :47:08. | |
to Brussels, there will be a referendum, and we think that is | :47:08. | :47:13. | |
important. We don't know what will come out of the current discussions. | :47:13. | :47:18. | |
But you are watching this like a hawk and you mussy that is the way | :47:18. | :47:23. | |
things are moving. We have been very clear for some time, and | :47:23. | :47:27. | |
George Osborne has reiterated that today, that we think for the | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
countries in the eurozone there is an inevitability about them having | :47:31. | :47:41. | |
more a -- collective responsibility. And that means inevitably changes | :47:41. | :47:45. | |
to the arrangements, which inevitably would trigger a | :47:45. | :47:49. | |
referendum, no? We don't know what changes to the arrangements it | :47:49. | :47:57. | |
means. As I say, we have been very clear in the legislation that if | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
they raise a treaty that requires powers to go from Britain to | :48:01. | :48:05. | |
Brussels, there will be a referendum. Would you like to see | :48:05. | :48:10. | |
that happen? Do you think it is fair to give people in this country | :48:10. | :48:15. | |
to another vote? I think we should do what we said we would do, which | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
is that if we see powers being passed from Britain to Brussels, | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
the British people should have their say. That is what we have | :48:23. | :48:28. | |
said and that is what is right so let's see what comes out of this. | :48:28. | :48:33. | |
The suggested appointment of Tom Windsor to oversee the police is | :48:33. | :48:37. | |
causing fury among many police officers because they also regard | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
him as the person who has been trying to rewrite their terms of | :48:41. | :48:47. | |
service, and to put it bluntly is a bit of an enemy. Are you picking a | :48:47. | :48:50. | |
fight deliberately with the Police Federation because you are | :48:50. | :48:55. | |
determined to change the police once and for all? I are not picking | :48:55. | :49:01. | |
a fight. The current chief inspector, Sir Denis O'Connor, who | :49:01. | :49:07. | |
has been outstanding, has been gradually moving... He was a | :49:07. | :49:12. | |
policeman. Yes, he has been moving the inspectorate to be more | :49:12. | :49:17. | |
independent and the body whose job it is should be independent of | :49:17. | :49:22. | |
government and independent of the service. Within the inspectorate, | :49:22. | :49:25. | |
you have a mix already have people who have policing backgrounds and | :49:25. | :49:31. | |
people who don't. What is it about Tom Windsor, lawyer, rail regulator, | :49:31. | :49:37. | |
who makes him the best candidate to do this policing job? There was a | :49:37. | :49:43. | |
proper process, we didn't look him out of thin air. The number of | :49:43. | :49:47. | |
people applied, went through interviews, and in the final | :49:47. | :49:55. | |
interviews, which were conducted by myself and the policing minister | :49:55. | :50:00. | |
Nick Herbert, we felt he was the best candidate. Does it worry you | :50:00. | :50:06. | |
that the policing profession and feel so angry about this? We want | :50:06. | :50:15. | |
someone who can be completely independent. What is important is | :50:15. | :50:20. | |
that we have an inspectorate that does challenge... But does it worry | :50:20. | :50:26. | |
you that the profession are quite so angry? Are want to see an | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
inspector that is independent, and I spoke to police officers across | :50:30. | :50:36. | |
all ranks about the changes, and I recognise that the police are | :50:37. | :50:41. | |
seeing a lot happening in terms of their pay and conditions, but what | :50:41. | :50:49. | |
we are doing is are establishing policing where we are giving more | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
discretion and responsibility to individual police officers, giving | :50:52. | :50:57. | |
public accountability through the elected crime commissioners, and we | :50:57. | :51:01. | |
are making of the inspectorate more independent. It will report to | :51:01. | :51:06. | |
Parliament in the future, rather than just to the government. | :51:06. | :51:10. | |
you are not worried that you are putting in somebody with no | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
policing experience, infuriating the police, ahead of a very | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
stressful summer, the Olympics not least? You say we are putting | :51:19. | :51:23. | |
somebody in charge of the police, the inspectorate is not in charge | :51:23. | :51:29. | |
of the police. Each chief constable continues to have independence in | :51:30. | :51:37. | |
their area. The crime commissioner will give local people a voice, | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
give the democratic accountability that we have promised people we | :51:40. | :51:45. | |
would give, and the inspectorate's role is being changed by the | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
legislation we have passed, reporting to Parliament rather than | :51:49. | :51:55. | |
government, and its job is to shine a light on policing generally. | :51:56. | :51:59. | |
mentioned the Olympics. The terrible queues that built up at | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
Heathrow have been a national embarrassment. Will you be carrying | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
on with an insistence that everybody is fully checked as they | :52:07. | :52:17. | |
come in, or will you allow a more common sense risk based approach? | :52:17. | :52:21. | |
There are two parts to your question. We have arrangements | :52:21. | :52:26. | |
specifically for the Olympics, we have been opening more desks at | :52:26. | :52:30. | |
airports, particularly Heathrow, and we have been seeing the queues | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
coming down so we are not seeing the sort of lengths of queues we | :52:34. | :52:40. | |
were seeing a few weeks ago so we have taken action already. I have | :52:40. | :52:44. | |
always said I am not against risk based checks but they need to be | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
based on evidence and we need to have that evidence to make sure | :52:47. | :52:52. | |
what we are doing is right because border security is paramount. | :52:52. | :52:57. | |
over to Naga for the news headlines. The Home Secretary says judges will | :52:57. | :53:01. | |
be given new guidelines making it more difficult for foreign | :53:01. | :53:06. | |
criminals to escape deportation from the UK by invoking human | :53:06. | :53:10. | |
rights law. She said she wants the parliament to vote on tighter rules | :53:10. | :53:14. | |
that would make clear to the courts that are right to family life does | :53:14. | :53:18. | |
not automatically take precedence over other situations. | :53:18. | :53:21. | |
The Chancellor, George Osborne, has warned that the debt crisis in the | :53:21. | :53:23. | |
Eurozone is killing off Britain's chances of economic recovery. His | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
comments in the Sunday Telegraph come as Spain announced it is | :53:26. | :53:29. | |
seeking a bailout of up to �80 billion pounds from the eurozone to | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
rescue its troubled banks. It's the fourth and by far the biggest | :53:32. | :53:35. | |
country to ask for help. The move has been welcomed by officials in | :53:35. | :53:41. | |
both Washington and Berlin. The chairman of the footballers | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
union has told this programme that he would walk off if he was | :53:45. | :53:50. | |
racially abused at Euro 2012. The Dutch team has already faced abuse | :53:50. | :53:54. | |
during training sessions, but the European football chief has been | :53:54. | :53:59. | |
warning that any player who walks off the pitch in protest will be | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
given a yellow card. That's all from me for now. The | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
next news on BBC One is at midday. Back to Andrew in just a moment, | :54:05. | :54:11. | |
but first a look at what is coming up after the show. Today, did fear | :54:11. | :54:17. | |
of being called racist stop us tackling forced marriage, and is it | :54:17. | :54:24. | |
a crime? And do posh people have too much power? Our guests will | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
argue that one out. She's known as the Queen of Indie | :54:27. | :54:30. | |

# There is a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you are | :55:01. | :55:07. | |
around. I swear you should hear it, it makes such a mighty sound. | :55:07. | :55:14. | |
morning, Florence has popped in to see us. It has been an astonishing | :55:14. | :55:18. | |
time for you because it is not long ago you were singing tiny venues | :55:18. | :55:24. | |
and now you have this superstar status. The way it started was just | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
from playing in pubs and clubs with an acoustic guitarist, and now I | :55:29. | :55:34. | |
have these amazing moments with a full orchestra, playing the Albert | :55:34. | :55:41. | |
Hall, and it is like oh wow! haven't managed to do that today. | :55:41. | :55:47. | |
You will be singing something which is gentler, tell us about it. | :55:47. | :55:53. | |
is a song called Breaking Down that was one of those songs that I | :55:53. | :55:58. | |
started humming and the words came of their own accord, but it is one | :55:58. | :56:02. | |
of the more introspective sad songs on the record, but I always wanted | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
to make a sad song with a happy tune, which is what I am doing. | :56:07. | :56:11. | |
will look forward to it very much. That's it for this week. I'll be | :56:11. | :56:14. | |
back at the same time next Sunday, but for now I'll leave you with | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
Florence and the Machine with their track Breaking Down from the album | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
