:01:31. > :01:34.until tomorrow morning to continue questioning 29-year-old Dale Cregan
:01:35. > :01:39.about the murders of police officers Nicola Hughes and Fiona
:01:39. > :01:43.Bone in Mottram. A second man, aged 28, is also in custody. Tributes
:01:43. > :01:49.are still being paid to the officers who were killed in a gun
:01:49. > :01:52.and grenade attack. An online book of condolence has received more
:01:52. > :01:57.than 33,000 signatures. Danny Savage is in Mottram.
:01:57. > :02:01.The impression I'm getting is that police are taking this inquiry and
:02:01. > :02:04.investigation very slowly. They want to do this right, to make sure
:02:04. > :02:08.that justice prevails at the end of this inquiry. So here at the scene
:02:08. > :02:12.of the murders, you still have dozens of police vehicles and
:02:12. > :02:15.officers carrying out forensic tests. At a police station
:02:15. > :02:18.somewhere in Manchester, Dale Cregan is still being questioned
:02:18. > :02:22.about what happened here. For a third day, the place where
:02:23. > :02:27.two unarmed police officers were murdered remains isolated. There is
:02:27. > :02:32.still work to be done here. Many still feel moved enough to bring
:02:32. > :02:36.floral tributes. The old bringing the young to pay their respects.

:02:41. > :02:48.worked with the two officers who died. These weren't just colleagues,

:02:51. > :02:58.grenade attack. Detectives have been granted more time to question
:02:58. > :03:02.him. More tributes have also been paid to Nicola Hughes and Fiona

:03:12. > :03:18.
:03:18. > :03:22.family have issued a statement We know a hand grenade was used in
:03:22. > :03:26.Tuesday's murders here, but police believe there are still more
:03:26. > :03:31.grenades to be recovered and people are in danger. They have issued
:03:32. > :03:36.what's called Osman Warnings to those most at risk. It is used in
:03:36. > :03:41.very rare instances where police have very credible intelligence
:03:41. > :03:45.that someone's life is in danger. Not only in danger, but someone has
:03:45. > :03:48.the ability to carry out that threat and their life is in
:03:48. > :03:54.imminent danger. So although the focus of this murder inquiry is
:03:54. > :03:57.here, there is also a much bigger picture.
:03:58. > :04:02.That bigger picture is in the virtual world as well. What you
:04:02. > :04:07.have today is an arrest that's been made because of a Facebook site
:04:07. > :04:12.which was set up in tribute to Dale Cregan. It described him as "some
:04:12. > :04:14.sort of legend" and in the last few minutes, a senior officer from
:04:14. > :04:22.Greater Manchester Police has been talking about those sort of
:04:22. > :04:26.websites that have been set up and about today's arrest. Anybody who
:04:26. > :04:31.perhaps wishes to take the opportunity following such a
:04:31. > :04:37.tragedy to tastelessly add derogatory comments to think they
:04:37. > :04:41.are poking fun at such a tragic situation will always cause a great
:04:41. > :04:45.deal of emotion. I think police officers, but not just police
:04:45. > :04:49.officers, ordinary members of the public - and I looked at some of
:04:49. > :04:53.these websites and saw ordinary members of the public distressed at
:04:53. > :04:59.some of the comments put on there. They would have wanted us to be
:04:59. > :05:01.able to take positive action. That is what we have done. That's
:05:01. > :05:06.obviously some sort of warning to people that are setting up what
:05:06. > :05:10.many people would think are very tasteless websites in the wake of
:05:10. > :05:14.these sorts of events. The country's top prosecutor has been
:05:14. > :05:17.speaking about this sort of issue today. He said, "The time has come
:05:17. > :05:22.for an informed debate about the boundaries of free speech in an age
:05:22. > :05:27.of social media." I am sure we will be hearing a lot more about this
:05:27. > :05:32.issue over the coming few days. Here at the scene of that double
:05:32. > :05:37.murder, the operation continues and still no sign of this cordon being

:06:24. > :06:31.At the moment, people can build small extensions without planning

:06:57. > :07:01.they are dead-set on stopping that from happening. Some areas will
:07:01. > :07:06.still be protected. But some Conservatives worry that a rash of
:07:06. > :07:10.new extensions in places like this could prove unpopular with the
:07:10. > :07:14.neighbours and those neighbours might happen to be Tory voters. Of
:07:14. > :07:17.course, the Government's not relying on a conservatory boom

:08:47. > :08:52.workplace pension. Staff will find themselves opted in to pension
:08:52. > :08:56.schemes. In the first few months, it will be big employers like the
:08:56. > :09:01.Co-op. Ministers visited one of the stores today to hear how it is
:09:01. > :09:05.being implemented. 40,000 staff, not already in the scheme, will be
:09:05. > :09:09.signed up. This is extra pay in many ways, it is not pay that you
:09:09. > :09:13.get today, but it is put aside for you for the future. I think people
:09:13. > :09:18.are quite positive. The number of times people have said, "It is the
:09:18. > :09:23.push that I need to start saving." The figures underline the decline
:09:23. > :09:27.in workplace pensions. There are eight million people in employer
:09:28. > :09:32.schemes. Fewer than three million are in private schemes, the lowest
:09:32. > :09:36.since the 1950s. The rest - more than five million - are in the
:09:36. > :09:38.public sector. The new policy will boost the numbers. In terms of
:09:38. > :09:42.Government policies that will affect people, this will be one of
:09:42. > :09:46.the biggest. We know there are millions of people not saving for a
:09:46. > :09:50.pension. Most of them know they should, but find it baffling and
:09:50. > :09:55.this will overcome all the barriers to pension saving. A number of

:13:58. > :14:01.unfairly high. Petrol and diesel cost pretty much the same in the

:14:06. > :14:11.The Olympics was only a few weeks ago, but in the short time since
:14:11. > :14:18.that amazing Opening Ceremony, the price of fuel has rocketed. When
:14:18. > :14:25.the caldron was lit, petrol cost �1.33 a litre, today it is �1.40 a
:14:25. > :14:32.litre. That adds �3.50 every time you fill an average family car. The
:14:32. > :14:39.high prices are changing lives. Weekly mileage is 350 miles a week
:14:39. > :14:43.and my husband's is 250 miles a week to 300. That costs us �600 a
:14:43. > :14:48.month. We can't afford it any more. We will sell our house, we will buy
:14:48. > :14:52.a house in Plymouth and we will move closer to work. You might be
:14:52. > :14:56.old enough to remember when diesel was cheaper than petrol, but that
:14:56. > :15:00.was many years ago. These days, diesel is always more expensive.
:15:00. > :15:05.And that has led the AA to question whether diesel drivers are getting
:15:05. > :15:08.a fair deal. We have seen the wholesale price of diesel at a
:15:08. > :15:12.lower level than the wholesale price of petrol. Yet on the
:15:12. > :15:18.forecourts, drivers are paying 4p a litre more. At the moment, they
:15:18. > :15:22.would feel they are being ripped off. The big question then - why
:15:22. > :15:26.exactly is diesel more expensive? Partly because our refining
:15:26. > :15:30.capacity is old and was set up to produce fuel oil and petrol. We
:15:30. > :15:34.have to import some of our diesel which pushes up prices. Diesel
:15:34. > :15:38.costs more to refine than petrol. Finally, we are one of the few
:15:38. > :15:42.European countries that didn't tax diesel at a lower rate than petrol.

:21:17. > :21:20.needed. Schools with large numbers of
:21:20. > :21:24.disadvantaged pupils have received sizeable sums from the pupil
:21:24. > :21:28.premium. This is one. Two thirds of the children here at
:21:28. > :21:32.this academy in London are eligible for the money, that is targeted at
:21:32. > :21:37.those from poorer families. The head used it to employ extra staff
:21:37. > :21:42.and to reduce the class sizes for ten-year-olds. She says it is
:21:42. > :21:50.paying off. This class is a small class. We
:21:50. > :21:55.have two small classes in two years year two and year five. Those are

:22:05. > :22:09.the pupil premium given to the school. It is worth �600 per pupil,
:22:09. > :22:15.costing the Government �1..25 billion. This school has seen
:22:15. > :22:18.academic results among the poorer children improve, but work carried
:22:18. > :22:21.out by Ofsted suggests in many schools it has not made a
:22:21. > :22:27.difference. It says that is not good enough.
:22:28. > :22:32.Schools are not using the pupil premium money effectively. 50% of
:22:32. > :22:36.schools surveyed said it made little or no difference to the way
:22:36. > :22:43.they operated. That is fine if they can demonstrate that the poor
:22:43. > :22:48.children are catching up with their more prosperous counterparts.
:22:48. > :22:52.Schools can use the pupil premium as they wish, meaning it can be
:22:52. > :22:55.absorbed into the overall budgets, but one teaching union says other
:22:55. > :22:59.cuts to funding meant it was not really extra money.
:22:59. > :23:03.Schools are doing their best to maintain provision that they had
:23:04. > :23:08.previously, but they have had cuts to their base budgets. So the pupil
:23:08. > :23:12.premium is not really new money it is money that is supporting
:23:12. > :23:16.existing school budgets. This is a flagship policy, the

:25:26. > :25:30.I have had the rabbit it is absolutely delicious.
:25:31. > :25:36.The atmosphere here is lovely. It is much more relaxed than I thought

:25:40. > :25:46.coming here today was a tester, I thought it was excellent. I chose
