:02:01. > :02:04.this lunchtime... The UK's recession deepened between April
:02:04. > :02:07.and June. According to the latest figures the economy shrank by 0.7 %,
:02:07. > :02:13.much more than expected. A sharp slowdown in the construction sector
:02:13. > :02:16.was largely to blame. Wet weather and an extra bank holiday for the
:02:16. > :02:19.Queen's Diamond Jubilee didn't help the figures. But the Chancellor,
:02:19. > :02:26.George Osborne, says the real cause has been the UK's deep underlying
:02:26. > :02:31.economic problems. Here's our chief economics correspondent, Hugh Pym.
:02:31. > :02:35.The UK's economic machine has moved further into reverse. If you take a
:02:35. > :02:39.good thing produce between April and June, GDP, there was another
:02:39. > :02:44.decline with the economy moving deeper into recession. Output fell
:02:44. > :02:48.by 0.7%, within that construction was down 5.2%. The Chancellor
:02:48. > :02:51.admitted the figures were disappointing. We have to deal with
:02:51. > :02:56.the debts we built up in this country over many years. We also
:02:56. > :03:01.have the debt crisis aboard and I think the government must have a
:03:01. > :03:06.relentless focus on the economy, in the structure, getting lending to
:03:06. > :03:10.businesses -- abroad. Statisticians said the bad weather affected
:03:10. > :03:16.figures as well as the extra bank holiday. But Labour said there were
:03:16. > :03:19.no excuses for the government. These figures speak for themselves,
:03:19. > :03:23.they are shocking and show that David Cameron and George Osborne
:03:23. > :03:28.have taken an economic recovery plan, turned it into a flat line
:03:28. > :03:32.economy and a deepening recession. If these figures do not not mean
:03:32. > :03:35.they wake up and realise the plan has failed and they have to change
:03:35. > :03:39.course, I don't know what will. In financial markets some analysts
:03:39. > :03:42.were sceptical as were some business leaders. We are not
:03:42. > :03:47.completely convinced about the accuracy of the figures. Our
:03:47. > :03:54.business surveys and other ones and also the employment figures or
:03:54. > :03:57.belie what the are ONS is saying about GDP. Out at the cutting edge
:03:57. > :04:02.of industry there is not always a feeling of a Big Chill. This
:04:02. > :04:07.Sheffield firm manufactures car parts, it is doing OK, but not
:04:07. > :04:13.running at the rate it was before the crisis. The truck market is
:04:13. > :04:17.still only 70% of where it was in 2008. We're at a good level of
:04:17. > :04:22.productivity, we have spare machine capacity where we could go for a
:04:22. > :04:26.third shift. I think it may come back but I cannot see it coming
:04:26. > :04:29.back any time soon. Here at the Treasury they hope that while the
:04:29. > :04:35.latest figures are disappointing the next set will be more
:04:35. > :04:38.encouraging. That is because of the Olympic effect. Many experts have
:04:38. > :04:42.predicted the Games will boost activity and so make a positive
:04:42. > :04:46.contribution to output in the current third quarter. The
:04:46. > :04:49.direction of travel for the economy is hard to read with Jaguar Land-
:04:49. > :04:54.Rover announcing today that more than 1000 new jobs would be created
:04:54. > :04:59.in the West Midlands, it is certainly not all doom and gloom.
:04:59. > :05:02.How was it you can have a job creation yet the economy it's
:05:02. > :05:08.shrinking and unemployment is falling? A big dilemma. Many
:05:08. > :05:12.economies are scratching their heads about this. The labour market
:05:12. > :05:18.statistics showed unemployment was falling and unemployment in three
:05:18. > :05:20.months to May was up by 181,000, that is people in work. So a real
:05:21. > :05:25.conundrum. Some people think the official figures are overstating
:05:25. > :05:31.things on output when you get subsequent data and revisions, it
:05:31. > :05:36.tends to look better in a year or so. There is huge uncertainty over
:05:36. > :05:39.this latest set of figures because of the bad weather and the extra
:05:39. > :05:43.Jubilee bank holiday. Nevertheless, even stripping out these temporary
:05:43. > :05:47.factors you have a picture of a stagnant economy, an economy not
:05:47. > :05:50.really going anywhere and that is still not good news. I don't think
:05:50. > :05:56.Labour will let up on the accusation that this is a recession
:05:56. > :05:59.made in the UK with the government and the policies largely to blame.
:05:59. > :06:07.Our political correspondent is in Downing Street. The figures are
:06:07. > :06:11.much worse than were expected, what will the government do? I would not
:06:11. > :06:14.be at all surprised if they did not have to break out the smelling
:06:14. > :06:18.salts as ministers and officials keeled over when they were shown
:06:18. > :06:23.today's figures. But they will not be any change to plan a, but I
:06:23. > :06:29.think we did learn today it is no longer just plan a for austerity,
:06:29. > :06:33.it is for austerity for a long time because the Chancellor did not
:06:33. > :06:41.reach for the filing cabinet of the EC economic excuses, he did not
:06:41. > :06:45.blame solely the dismal weather, or the holidays taken, or even the
:06:45. > :06:48.perennial favourite the eurozone crisis. Instead, he talked of deep-
:06:48. > :06:53.seated problems in the British economy. Translated into English
:06:53. > :06:57.that means I think this is going to take a long time. There is not
:06:57. > :07:00.going to be a quick fix and that chimes with everything we are
:07:00. > :07:09.hearing from within government. Namely, the lack of growth, the
:07:09. > :07:13.stagnation, risks, extending the era of austerity. The 24 hour
:07:13. > :07:16.strike by immigration staff it was supposed to start at midnight has
:07:16. > :07:18.been called off at the last minute. The walkout could have caused
:07:19. > :07:23.serious disruption for spectators arriving at Heathrow. The
:07:23. > :07:26.immigration minister Damian Green says he is glad the PCS Union has
:07:26. > :07:34.seen sense. The union says the government promises to create
:07:34. > :07:37.hundreds of new jobs and border control. Athletes, officials and
:07:37. > :07:42.spectators continued to arrive at Heathrow, busy and getting busier
:07:42. > :07:44.in the last few days of the build- up to the Games. That is why there
:07:44. > :07:48.was such concern about the potential impact of a strike
:07:48. > :07:53.planned for tomorrow that was to involve immigration and passport
:07:53. > :07:58.staff. But it has been called off. The announcement came just one hour
:07:58. > :08:01.before lawyers for the government were to challenge the strike ballot.
:08:01. > :08:06.The PCS union said real progress had been made in talks with the
:08:06. > :08:09.Home Office. There is now no case for the union to proceed with
:08:09. > :08:15.industrial action tomorrow in terms of the one-day strike that was
:08:16. > :08:22.planned. It also means we no longer intend to proceed with our work to
:08:22. > :08:25.rule that would have started on 28th July. A key issue has been
:08:25. > :08:29.jobs in this dispute. The union says one of the main reasons for
:08:29. > :08:33.calling off the strike is it has been told there will be 800 new
:08:33. > :08:39.border agency jobs. On top of that, a further 300 at passport offices.
:08:39. > :08:42.But the government says there have been no concessions. New jobs were
:08:42. > :08:45.in the pipeline already. In as clear the union leadership wanted
:08:45. > :08:51.an excuse to call for would have been a destructive and damaging
:08:51. > :08:55.strike. I am glad the thing they have found an excuse, I don't care
:08:55. > :08:59.what reason they are giving out to call it off. We have made no
:08:59. > :09:03.concessions, the big thing is the strike is now off. But the union
:09:03. > :09:09.says the dispute has not been resolved and that there are other
:09:09. > :09:12.outstanding issues including pay and compulsory redundancies.
:09:12. > :09:15.Our Home Affairs Correspondent is at the High Court. What is your
:09:16. > :09:20.sense of what has happened here? Has the union backed down, or the
:09:20. > :09:24.government giving in? There was a poster be a hearing here at midday.
:09:24. > :09:29.We were expecting a court battle over whether the strike could go
:09:29. > :09:34.ahead. Home Office sources told us procedural errors had been found in
:09:34. > :09:37.the way in which the unions ballot was carried out and they were
:09:37. > :09:40.confident they would be able to overturn the ballot and get the
:09:41. > :09:44.strike called off. Then the union came in and said we will call it
:09:44. > :09:48.off anyway. They said there were new jobs that would be created,
:09:48. > :09:52.that meant they can now stop their industrial action. But they also
:09:52. > :09:56.said the jobs were announced last Friday so it does seem as though a
:09:56. > :09:59.decision has been made at the last minute to call off the strike, if
:09:59. > :10:03.the jobs had been a major factor, then perhaps that could have
:10:03. > :10:09.happened on Monday, Tuesday or even the weekend. The Home Office is
:10:09. > :10:14.saying those jobs have been used as a fig-leaf. They insist there are
:10:14. > :10:20.no new 800 jobs, actually there are only 75 new jobs being created, so
:10:20. > :10:30.they say that has been used as a convenient excuse to ensure this
:10:30. > :10:38.
:10:38. > :10:48.Major chain just have come into place a day before the Olympics get

:12:22. > :12:27.are not enough, they don't know whether they can go in a lane, risk
:12:27. > :12:30.a fine, or not. Has it been too confusing? The it will take time
:12:30. > :12:34.for people to become familiar with the way the rich network functions

:12:38. > :12:42.with messages are but they are either in use, or just for the
:12:42. > :12:47.Games family only. People will get used to it and we are confident
:12:47. > :12:51.they will use it. Vehicles are staying away and complying but
:12:51. > :12:57.where vehicles can go into the lanes people are making use of it
:12:57. > :13:02.as well. So far, so good. There is a real test tomorrow, that is when
:13:02. > :13:05.the Olympic flame goes around the West End of London and past the
:13:05. > :13:10.Houses of Parliament right through central London. This is just the
:13:10. > :13:14.start of things... Even though the opening ceremony is a couple of
:13:14. > :13:18.days away the first sporting event will be held this afternoon. The

:15:35. > :15:43.pride is there in holding this? Quite excited, I am not going to
:15:43. > :15:49.watch it. It is nice to see Cardiff, not just all in London. Nice is see
:15:49. > :15:54.it spread out. I was surprised they were putting it on in Cardiff. And

:15:58. > :16:02.appetite with a crowd of 40,000 hoped for by organisers. What could
:16:02. > :16:06.prove more significant is the potential to attract a new
:16:06. > :16:11.generation of sporting talent. The opening day of Olympic action will
:16:11. > :16:16.be played against an opening -- many empty seats, not just in
:16:17. > :16:23.Cardiff but Coventry and Glasgow. One suspects if Team GB get off to

:16:40. > :16:46.Britain's track and field athletes have brought back medals, can they
:16:46. > :16:50.do it this time? I think they can. We have all the us can attendants -
:16:50. > :16:56.- obvious contenders, but we also have people in the pole vault, a
:16:56. > :17:00.high jump, they can contend with the best. If our best athletes can
:17:00. > :17:04.produce their best, they can definitely challenge for medals.
:17:04. > :17:08.Gold medal Saad given away, sport can be difficult, but I think we
:17:08. > :17:13.will have the best games in terms of track and field that we have had

:17:19. > :17:24.Is he going to be there? That is a big question. He is a big character,

:17:29. > :17:34.his day, he can be an Olympic challenge -- Olympic champion. The
:17:34. > :17:38.mystery is, how injured is he? Nobody seems to know. It is
:17:38. > :17:42.heartbreaking if he has picked up a serious injury this close, and we

:19:10. > :19:14.lives per year. Around 9 million children will be offered the
:19:14. > :19:20.vaccine, but it is such a big programme it will not start until
:19:20. > :19:24.2014 at the earliest. For healthy children, illness mac is not
:19:24. > :19:29.usually a concern, but they are very effective at spreading the

:19:35. > :19:40.could save thousands of lives every year. It mostly be among the
:19:40. > :19:44.elderly and those at risk of complications. At present, annual
:19:44. > :19:50.vaccinations are offered to the over 65, pregnant women, and those
:19:50. > :19:54.with medical conditions such as asthma and diabetes. It is these
:19:54. > :19:59.vulnerable groups that stand to benefit most from the vaccination
:19:59. > :20:04.programme, rather than help the children, who tend to get a mild
:20:04. > :20:11.illness. The deaths and hospital admissions are generally among this
:20:11. > :20:14.group. They are those with asthma, neurological disease, the elderly.
:20:14. > :20:19.But don't forget the saving for children as well, being miserable
:20:19. > :20:24.and sick at home. This is how the vaccine will be given to children,
:20:24. > :20:29.using a nasal spray, not an injection. It has been used in the
:20:29. > :20:30.United States for nearly a decade. It will lead to be given every year

:21:15. > :21:20.from Rome on his own without a ticket, passport or a boarding pass.
:21:20. > :21:28.He was discovered while the Jet2 aircraft was in mid-air, as
:21:28. > :21:31.passengers wondered who he belonged to. Some staff have been suspended.
:21:31. > :21:35.This boy disappeared yesterday whilst on a shopping trip with his
:21:35. > :21:39.mother. She spent an anxious few hours waiting for news of his
:21:39. > :21:44.whereabouts, and eventually got a phone call to say he had turned up
:21:44. > :21:48.at any airport in Rome. This is an embarrassment for the airline at
:21:48. > :21:54.Jet2 and also the airport. Ministers say any breach of airport
:21:54. > :21:58.security has to be taken very seriously. Security in airports has
:21:58. > :22:03.always been tight. Even more so since the terrorist threat
:22:03. > :22:08.increased. This is the story of a schoolboy to arrive at Manchester
:22:08. > :22:16.Airport with no passport, travel documents, full security, and took

:22:21. > :22:27.The security is human and machine. People who work in this industry
:22:27. > :22:30.occasionally fail to come up with it when it is necessary. The boy's
:22:30. > :22:36.journey began at his home in the with enjoy airport -- would enjoy
:22:36. > :22:39.area, near by to the airport. It was whilst the boy was on the
:22:40. > :22:44.flight that the passengers raised the alarm. He was kept on the
:22:44. > :22:48.flight and flown home. This is the place where passengers are checked.
:22:48. > :22:53.They are meant to show a boarding card, but yesterday, that didn't
:22:53. > :22:57.happen. When you go up to security, you present your boarding cards as
:22:57. > :23:01.a group of boarding cards. The buyer was mixed in with a large
:23:01. > :23:07.number of children, family members, clearly the staff did not count the
:23:07. > :23:15.number of children correctly. boy was scanned to make sure he had
:23:16. > :23:18.no dangerous items. He then headed for the flight. Jet2 should have
:23:19. > :23:23.checked his boarding pass but they didn't. They have now been
:23:23. > :23:29.suspended. Within minutes, he was airborne. It leaves the airline
:23:29. > :23:34.with serious questions to answer. The boy is now safely back with his
:23:34. > :23:38.family, he arrived back last night. There is now an urgent
:23:38. > :23:41.investigation that has been started by the airport and the airline. One
:23:41. > :23:48.of the difficult things for them is the alarm was not raised by members
:23:48. > :23:51.of staff but I passengers. It has been confirmed this morning
:23:51. > :23:56.that the Scottish Government is joined up plans to allow same-sex
:23:56. > :24:05.marriages. The decision comes after nearly 80,000 people responded to
:24:05. > :24:09.add consultation on the issue. How soon could this happen? It is still
:24:09. > :24:14.some time away. There will be a draft Bill published by the end of
:24:14. > :24:18.the year, consultation will then take place, if it goes ahead, it
:24:18. > :24:23.will be 2015 at the earliest. The Scottish Government will want to be
:24:23. > :24:26.seen to tread gently on this issue, because it has been incredibly
:24:26. > :24:31.divisive, but the Deputy First Minister in Scotland, Nicola
:24:31. > :24:35.Sturgeon, said this is the right thing to do. I believe legislating
:24:35. > :24:39.to allow a loving couples to commit to each other in marriage is the
:24:39. > :24:44.right thing to do, but we are also deeply committed to the principles
:24:44. > :24:49.of freedom of speech and freedom of religion, and the decision will be
:24:49. > :24:53.accompanied by strong protections. No church will be compelled to
:24:53. > :25:01.conduct same-sex marriage is, and nobody will be penalised for taking
:25:01. > :25:06.a different view. It has been an incredibly contentious issue. The
:25:06. > :25:10.largest-ever consultation here in Scotland, with more than 77,000
:25:10. > :25:15.responses. The Scottish Government says it understands and respects
:25:15. > :25:20.deeply those used for and against same-sex marriage. -- those
:25:20. > :25:24.opinions. Campaigners have welcomed the decision, saying it levels the
:25:24. > :25:28.playing field. The Church of Scotland have reiterated their
:25:28. > :25:31.opposition to same-sex marriage, and they have questioned the
:25:31. > :25:35.effectiveness of safeguards for religious bodies, which the
:25:35. > :25:38.Scottish Government has reiterated they will put in place. The Roman
:25:38. > :25:45.Catholic Church have said they are disappointed and will continue to
