The care regulator says half of all homes and treatment centres in

England failed to protect the welfare of adults with learning

disabilities. It follows a BBC investigation into ill-treatment at

a care home in Bristol. Relatives of adults in other centres say they

are at risk of abuse too. It's absolutely horrible, as a mother,

looking at your son being hurt, knowing he's in distress and not

being able to help. David Cameron makes a speech on welfare,

attacking what he sees as "the something for nothing" culture.

Still trying to deal with a backlog of payments after a computer

failure, NatWest and RBS extend opening hours for the entire week.

Losing on penalties - Italy go through in Euro 2012. England

prepare to fly home. At the moment, I'm just in a zone

of frustration and disappointment because we came so close.

And extraordinary images of Britain in the 1920s. Thousands of the very

first aerial pictures are made The call Later on BBC London: The

call for more runways around London - the business leaders who want

extra airport capacity. And warnings of more bus strikes -

Good afternoon. Welcome to the BBC News at 1pm. The body that

regulates homes in England, the Care Quality Commission, said

almost half of all treatment centres are failing to protect the

welfare of adults with learning disabilities. The commission

carried out unannounced inspections in the wake of the BBC Panorama

investigation into the ill- treatment of residents at a care

home in Bristol. Here's our social affairs correspondent. Undercover

cameras exposed the abuse happening behind the closed doors of

Winterbourne View - a hospital for people with learning disabilities.

What Panorama saw was shocking. Nine former staff members have

since pleaded guilty to ill- treating patients. The hospital is

now boarded and empty. Today's report said it founds no other

Winterbourne Views, but found many places not reaching the standards

in welfare and keeping people safe. Those people commissioning the

services need to think about everyone as an individual. How can

they best develop a plan, develop a service which reflects that

individual's needs? The Care Quality Commission found 69 out of

the 145 hospitals and homes it inspected failed to meet some or

all of the standards for care and save guarding. Independent health

care services were twice as likely to fail to meet the required

standards as NHS places. There was an urgent need to reduce the

restraint of patients. Sadly it comes to little surprise to this

couple. Their son is 38. He has autism and learning disabilities

and has spent years in different homes. They have later discovered

how he has been let down. He has been cold. He's been ignored. He's

suffered sexual and physical abuse and he has been made into a

completely different human being. Many who work with people with

learning disabilities say this is a chance to put larger institutions

into the past once and more all, concentrating instead on splaul

places like this, which help people live in the community. This North

London home builds care around the individual. Ronnie, for instance,

loves cars, so he's taken out for a drive when ever he wants. The

change can be dramatic. People who have been in institutions all their

lives have gone on to live in their own homes and find employment and

be fully involved and included in their communities. A report from

the Department of Health today sets out ways in which standards of care

for all people with learning disabilities can be driven up to

match the best. Well, Alison is with me now. Alison,

this Care Quality Commission report makes very disturbing reading. What

happens now to try and change things? Yes, it does make

disturbing reading. The interesting thing is they say this is not about

regulation, not about a new set of rules. What it is about is a

culture change, which puts the needs of someone who has a learning

disability at the heart of the decisions made about their care.

Now, if that -- now that has numerous benefits, not least for

the person themselves, but in terms of sedation and restraint.

That is likely to be reduced if the person who is being cared for feels

more in control of what they are doing. Not surprisingly we would

all expect that. For instance, the place I visited today, they told me

a story about a man who arrived with them who had spent most of his

adult life in restraints of different forms and he had five to

one care because he was viewed as having such challenging behaviour.

Within two months of people working with him, within two months, it was

one to one care and he was no longer being restrained or in

restraints. Alison, thank you. David Cameron is setting out what

he sees as the failings of the welfare system. The Prime Minister

is making a speech this lunch time, suggesting that the current system

promotes a something for nothing culture of entitlement, which

encourages people to have children and not take a job. One of the

ideas he is considering is whether the under25s should receive Housing

Benefit. What I am talking about today is

the issue of welfare. You are all working hard... These are the

people David Cameron says he's working hard for. He is meeting

people at a supermarket, who get up early and do their best to make

ends meet. Those within it grow one a series

of expectations - you can have a home of your own, the state will

support you whatever decisions you take. You will be able to take out

no matter what you put in. This has sent out some incredibly damaging

signals, that it pays not to work, that you are owed something for

nothing. The Prime Minister says he wants to start a national debate

about the benefits that are paid to people of working age and that he's

prepared to ask searching questions. These include whether most people

under 25 should lose an entitlement to Housing Benefit and should

families with three children or more retain all their current

benefits? Should there be tougher rules for the long-term

unemployment? Including compelling them to work for welfare payments.

This man is 24 and gets Housing Benefits. He thinks the Prime

Minister's ideas could push up homelessness. I haven't got any

family I could go to. I don't have friends who can help me out.

Without Housing Benefits I would be out on the street again. Downing

Street said that vulnerable Young Adults would not automatically lose

their benefits. Radical changes to benefit are some way off. In his

speech David Cameron is making it clear he's not simply speaking as

Prime Minister, but as leader of the Conservative Party, many of his

ideas couldn't be implemented until after the next general election,

that is because, quite simply, his Liberal Democrats coalition

partners would not allow it. this Parliament, the job with us is

to make sure this does not behave like a Tory-only Government. We are

there to make sure people don't get penalised if they have tried to get

a job but cannot find it through no fault of their own. There are

clearly rows within the coalition. There are rows within the

Conservative Party. The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions does

not seem to agree with the Prime Minister about this. There are lots

of rows going on. What I think they should concentrate on is, what we

have said, is we've got to get growth back into the economy.

Cameron's message on welfare will be popular with his Conservative

backbenchers. Opinion polls suggest it may be popular with voters, but

any radical changes will not happen this side of the general election.

Let's talk now to our political correspondent, who is at

Westminster. If we're not expecting radical changes this side of the

next general election, why is David Cameron talking about welfare now?

In part it is an attempt to kick- start a no bars hold debate on

welfare. It is about money and politics. Money, because we know

the Chancellor has said the coalition have to save an extra �10

billion from the welfare budget after the next election. Politics,

because David Cameron hopes his messages will be popular with the

headline writers, that it will galvanise the Tory Party, downcast

after a month of U-turns - it's a dig in the rib to Nick Clegg. It

comes with a risk. The risk is this, Mr Cameron came to power, presented

himself as a very different Tory leader. The danger of adopting such

a traditional Tory message, with trackdowns on single parents on

claimants with large numbers of children, possibly introducing

regional pay, the danger is believes himself open to the charge

from critics that he's abandoned compassionate conservatism. Thank

you. More than 1,000 main NatWest and

RBS branches will have extended opening hours for the rest of the

week to try and cope with the backlog of payments. RBS, which

owns NatWest and Ulster Bank, says it is cautiously optimistic that

services are getting back to normal. Business as usual - it ain't!

Despite opening all weekend. Many branches opened early again today,

to help customers get hold of their money. Ian runs an IT company.

Wages for him and his workers were due on Friday. They are still

waiting today. RBS have told us that the information that we are in

a queue. The information is being re-keyed. We hope our staff will

receive their salaries tomorrow. There is still no guarantee of that.

It's the uncertainty. The Royal Bank of Scotland, which owns

NatWest and Ulster Bank, says the problem which caused the disruption

is fixed. They are still working through the backlog of transactions.

RBS is insisting again that no-one will be out of pocket, whether

customers have been directly or indirectly affected. It is working

with credit agencies to make sure no-one's credit score has been hit

and it is possible customers, including those from other banks,

who have suffered knock-on effects will demand compensation. If you

have experienced any difficulty over the weekend now's the time to

make notes about how exactly it has affected you and talk to the bank

about what they can do to help sort out the problems. If that doesn't

help, you can come to the ombudsman. It has affected millions the

complaints pouring into the company's websites. How can a

glitch from a software upgrade cause so much chaos? This is the

problem with increasing dependency of our lives on the internet and

network computer systems, is that when things go wrong, we don't know

how to respond to them. We have a lack of what's called "resilience."

That means adapting to the situation when a computer

malfunctions. We simply don't know how to do it. The boss of RBS has

already apologised. He'll have to explain exactly what happened and

why. Right now this bank is focused on trying to put things right.

England's manager, Roy Hodgson, has put a brave face on the team's exit

from the Euro 2012 championships. He said losing in a penalty

shootout had been difficult. He said when he looks back at the

tournament he will not be disappointed. Our sports

correspondent was at the England press conference. He joins us now.

We have been here before, haven't we? The personnel may change, but a

sense of deja vu is with the England camp today, as they prepare

to pack their bags and to go home. It's almost as if it's on repeat

setting - the defeat. They have come to define England, the stage

and the manner by which they get knocked out of major tournaments.

It comes as no surprise any more, but nonetheless for the players and

their manager, still a huge disappointment. Following in the

footsteps of failures past, England's captain and manager this

morning, beginning their journey home in all-too familiar fashion.

It is difficult to be positive because we are so disappointed in

not going through to the semi-final. We wanted it so badly. We had our

dreams and when your dreams are shattered, you cannot be too

positive on it. Yet again, England felt the shock of coming second. We

had the penalty in the quarter- final of a major tournament. In

truth they were lucky to get that far. Danielle de Rossi's early shot,

a sign of things to come. The Italian's dominated possession

and should have scored. England only scored thanks to Jon Terry,

the saves of Joe Hart. Then came football's ultimate game of chance

- Andrea Pirlo was fearless to the end.

Alesssandro Diamanti took his chance to seal Italy's place in the

semi-finals and England's reality check was complete. I feel the same

as I have in previous tournaments. At the moment, I am just in a zone

of frustration and disappointment because we came so close. England's

defeat was typical in many ways. This is the sixth time since 1990

they have lost a penalty shoot-out. The team has been knocked out in

the quarter-finals in four of their last five tournaments. Their only

successes in the knock-out tournaments have only come at home.

The FA are getting in with techniques and skills. That will

take a while to kick in because England at the moment cannot win

tournaments and playing the way they play. For England, for now,

it's the hurt. Roy Hodgson must look to heal and

Roy Hodgson, given the obstacles in his way, still, credit for the

tournament, but this proved once and for all, the limitations with

how far you can go with simply attitude, courage and desire. The

problems that stand in the way of the football team for England will

be on debatement the quality of coaching. The issues are

fundamental. There is no quick-fix, sadly, for English football.

Thank you very much. Egypt's first democratically

elected President, Mohammed Morsi, has promised to be a leader for all

Egyptians and to strengthen natural unit. Mohammed Morsi from the

Muslim Brotherhood, has been congratulated on his victory by

world leaders, including President Obama. It is unclear, though, what

his new government will look like. We have this report. The party is

over, the traffic is back in Tahrir Square.

Egypt needs to get back to business. Egyptians are looking this morning

to see what kind of a President they have elected.

As a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammed Morsi is an

Islamist, but has promised moderation. So what about women,

business people, Christians? How do they feel? This man is one of

Egypt's most successful businessmen and a Coptic Christian.

The question is, is his allegiance for the Muslim Brotherhood or

Egypt? Will he report to the Muslim Brotherhood or report to the

Egyptian people? Western countries have been quick to congratulate

Egypt on the first democratic presidential election in its

history, but they also want Mohammed Morsi to live up to his

pledge of moderation. It is very important in the eyes of

the friends of Egypt, here in Europe, and the friends of Egypt in

the United Kingdom that this is an inclusive and transparent,

democratic process in Egypt, that the President lives up to what he

has said about being inclusive, especially in upholding the rights

of women and in upholding the rights of religious minorities.

The first priority for the new President will be his relations

with the ruling Military Council. The two sides still have to resolve

their differences over the army's decision to dissolve Parliament ten

days ago. Many Egyptians wonder if the military will allow real power

to the elected leader? TRANSLATION: Mohammed Morsi will be

handcuffed without any real powers. The people could revolt against him

and he will only last a few months. The reason for this is that the

laws are in the hands of the Military Council.

Still, by the end of this month, Egypt will have a democratically

elected President for the first time. All that most Egyptians want

is just to get back to work, to get the tourists back here to the

sunshine. After more than a year of political gridlock and

confrontation, but unfortunately for them there is still a lot of

issues to be resolved about Egypt's future.

The top story: Following a BBC investigation, the

care regulator says that half of all homes and treatment centres in

England are failing to protect the welfare of adults with learning

disabilities. I'm live at Wimbledon, where

defending champion, Novak Djokovic is in action on day one of the

championships. On BBC London, we are out on the

capital's streets to examine the progress. The Mayor has pledged to

eradicate rough sleeping this year. The professional of one of London's

exceptional artistic talents. The man heading the inquiry into

press standards found himself at the centre of the story today. It

followed comments from the Education Secretary, Michael Gove,

that the Leveson inquiry was having a chilling effect on freedom of

speech, but Lord Justice Leveson said this morning he had no hidden

agenda. We have this report. He is the judge the Government

asked to make plan force the future of the press, but so worried that

ministers had made up their minds already, he called the country's

top civil servant. It was Michael Gove who got him concerned. Saying

in a speech there was a chilling atmosphere towards freedom from

expression coming from the debate around the inquiry. That made the

judge pick up the phone to the Cabinet Secretary, Jeremy Heywood.

I wanted to find out if Gove egov was speaking for the Government

whether it was thought that the existence of the inquiry was having

a chilling effect on healthy, vibrant journalism and whether the

Government had, effectively, reached a settled view on

recommendations. He was worried, he said, about the

perception that the inquiry was being undermined. Even as it was

taking place. He was reassured by the Cabinet

Secretary that the Government had not reached a fixed view on press

regulation. David Cameron had added to the

judge's concerns when he told the House of Commons Michael Gove had

been making an important point. Even as this inquiry goes on, we

want to have a vibrant press that feel it is can call the powerful to

account. Michael Gove certainly did not

think that there was much wrong in his speech when he appeared at the

inquiry in May he repeet many of its arguments in sometimes lively

exchanges. News of the call was broken by the Mail on Sunday this

month, although the head line claiming that he threatened to

resign was not correct, the reporter who wrote the piece awe're

-- appears before the inquiry this afternoon and there were concerns

about how the papers handle their critics.

It is at least arguable that what has -- what has happened is an

example of approach that seeks to convert any attempt to question the

conduct of the press as an attack on free speech.

He will know his latest comments on the press and on politicians won't

do anything to take the heat from the debate on how they should both

behave in the future. The campaign to keep Scotland in

the United Kingdom has been officially launched. It argues that

Scotland would enjoy greater prosperity by staying a part of the

UK. It is warning that leaving the union would be a one-way ticket to

a deeply uncertain destination. Our Scotland correspondent was at

the launch. This was a low-key, somer launch,

chaired by Alistair Darling. He said it was one of the most

important things he had ever done and that the decision facing Scots

is one of the most important that they will face in their lifetime.

Independence for Scotland or a kingdom united? Better together say

those who believe in the union. Scots will vote on this choice in

all likelihood in about two years' time. Today a warning of what is at

stake. The last thing we need are new

areas of uncertainty, instability and division that the situation

will involve. The choice we make will be rir vokable. If we decide

to leave the United Kingdom there is no way back. We can't give our

children a one-way ticket to a deeply uncertain destination.

That choice vasing Scotland has pushed political foes together.

Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats uniting under a common

theme. West Linton has been called the most English place in Scotland.

So how do people here feel about the arguments being made? I don't

think that Scotland will benefit by being independentment Why give our

oil and our industry to England when we could be on our own? From

the rival pro-independence campaign which started four weeks ago, their

message is simple. I believe if the Scottish

Parliament were to be given full sovereign powers as most other

Parliaments in the world, then I think it would do a better job for

the people of Scotland. Half a million Scots this morning

received leaf thes arguing that the union should continue. Both sides

in the debate are passionate in their beliefs and ready for a long

fight. Interesting, -- interestingly,

Alistair Darling speaking after the launch, throwing down the gauntlet

for Alex Salmond, the First Minister, saying if he believes

that certain questions are not resolved that Alex Salmond may not

hold a referendum after all. Lorna, thank you very much.

Many of us are used to seeing our towns and countryside from the air.

80 years ago, though, it was a novelty. Now, 10,000 of the first

aerial pictures are being made available online, showing a slice

of British life in the 19'20s. St Paul's Cathedral, 1921 Doncaster

trams, 1925. The Forth Rail Bridge, 1937. A smog-bound Manchester, 1921.

A landscaped scene in a new and startling way, from the air.

Britain between the wars was changing fast. There were new roads,

new housing estates, new factories and power stations. Ayr set out to

cap actual all of it, including much like the crisps at Sydenham,

now long since vanished. Places have change sod much. Yet as

these are aerial photographs you are not looking at one building or

a street scene, it is an area in context. There are so many things

going on. Some places have changed

dramatically. This is Romford in Essex now with the shopping malls,

car parks and ring road. This is it in the 19'20s, the marketplace is

the same shape. Birmingham New Street Station now lies hidden

beneath a shopping centre, in 1928, it looked like stations were

supposed to. Now the Dreamland Amusement Park partly dismantled in

the left, but in 1931, it was flourishing. Only Headingley in

Leeds, the cricket ground has not changed that much.

Around 95,000 glass teing tivs taken between 19 19 and 1993 have

been cleaned before going online. English Heritage hope that visits

going to the website will not just enjoy looking at them but share

their own stories of the memories that are invoked by them.

Now, it is day one of Wimbledon. Believe it or not, the sun is

shining and the men's champion, Djokovic has again defence of his

title. Yes, the game on the outside courts

got under way at 11.30am. Novak Djokovic has started proceedings

just over on the Centre Court. The warm weather bringing out the fans.

They are enjoying the action on the big screens on the grounds. Outside,

the gates, there are hundreds more waiting to get N

Whileing away the hours in the most famous queue in sport.

For home fans wait ngt sunshine, a switch of aLiege -- waiting in the

sunshine, a switch of allegiance. Disappointment with England going

out last night. The usual thing, the expectations are lifted and now

dampened. Let's hope that Andy Murray can lift the spirits.

mood was dampened, so it is nice to enjoy some champagne in the

morning! Djokovic will be entertaining those with the Centre

Court tickets. Last year realising his dream, beating his old

adversary, Rafael Nadal. COMMENTATOR: Novak Djokovic on

Centre Court... The sweetness of last summer will not be forgotten,

but surely pushed to the back of his mind as Novak Djokovic stepped

out on court. People are saying he is not playing

as well as last year. That would be almost impossible. Last year was

superhuman. If he plays at his best, I think he is the best in the world,

especially on the grass. The if the pressure on Novak

Djokovic is high, here at Wimbledon it reaches another level for that

man. Andy Murray must know out at the campsite the expectation is

building. While today's spectators queue to get a glimpse of the likes

of Djokovic, Maria Sharapova and Roger Federer, the Andy Murray fans

wait for tomorrow. Yes, Andy Murray, the big draw here

tomorrow. He faces the Russian, Nikolay Davydenko. Not an easy

opening game, but before that there are five Brits in action this

afternoon, including Heather Watson. Hoping to improve on her second-

round exit from earlier. At least they know here at

Wimbledon, their fate is not decided on penalties.

Indeed. And the sun is out as well.

And the sun is out as well. Now more on the weather.

Nice to see the sunshine. For most of us staying dry with more

sunshine to come. Looking at the satellite picture, the cloud has

been increasing. Holding on to sunshine in Wimbledon. Cloud in the

forth for Northern Ireland and across the south-west of England

cloudier skies. The rest of the afternoon at Wimbledon, more of the

same, fair weather cloud and sunny spells. Coverage continuing across

the BBC Television and radio throughout the afternoon. There is

a small risk of a shower in the south-east, but Wimbledon looking

like it will escape the showers. Most places will be dry and fine.

As we head to the north, north-east England and parts of eastern

Scotland are at risk of a few showers. They are well-scattered.

Places staying dry with sunny spells, the temperatures in Glasgow

reaching the high teens. In Northern Ireland, the temperatures

are lower. The cloud is thicker here. It will be dry throughout the

afternoon. Good breaks in the cloud for the north of Wales. South Wales

hazy sunshine, but towards Devon and Cornwall, the thicker cloud is

with us with more rain to come in the afternoon. The band of rain

this evening moves to the north. It is patchy rain. At times it may

turn a little on the heavy side. It is introducing mild air to the

south. It is cooler in the north. Here it should be fine and dry with

breaks in the cloud to the north- east of Scotland and lows in the

singing figures. Leading to a bright start tomorrow morning. A

bit of sunshine. Showers in the north-east, but overall the cloud

increasing. The band of rain making steady progress to the north and

the east it is fairly hit and miss. There is a possibility of time --

at times of it turning heavy. A little cooler tomorrow,

temperatures reaching 20 Celsius, but the temperatures climbing but

along with that an increase in humidity. The weather is not

showing science of settling down, but staying cloud which heavy

showers. O on Wednesday the wettest weather in Northern Ireland, parts

of Scotland and northern England. In the south drier spells, but we

cannot rule out heavy showers, I mentioned it will be humid with
