:01:35. > :01:38.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. Pensions are being
:01:38. > :01:42.reformed today, in what is being described as the biggest shake-up
:01:42. > :01:44.of the system in decades. Over the next two years, up to 11 million
:01:44. > :01:47.people will be enrolled automatically into workplace
:01:47. > :01:57.pensions and will start making contributions from their pay. Their
:01:57. > :02:00.
:02:00. > :02:05.employer will also contribute. Simon Gompertz has the details.
:02:05. > :02:09.It is the biggest change in pensions for decades. 11 million to
:02:09. > :02:14.be signed up automatically for workplace pensions, an attempt to
:02:14. > :02:19.reverse a dramatic decline. Most people know they need a pension but
:02:19. > :02:22.it has been too complicated and too much hassle. This scheme will get
:02:22. > :02:26.them into saving and get money from their firm and the government and
:02:26. > :02:32.it is a vital first step to tackling the pensions timebomb.
:02:32. > :02:36.shift will be most marked in towns like Redcar, the region with the
:02:36. > :02:39.lowest number saving in company pensions and to many struggling on
:02:39. > :02:44.just the state pension. Big employers like Morrisons here are
:02:44. > :02:50.the first to get a green light to annul their staff. Once in, they
:02:50. > :02:55.have a smaller wage packet to take home but the company will chip in
:02:55. > :02:59.as well -- and roll their staff. do think it is a good idea. I
:02:59. > :03:02.remember from being a kid, my dad said you should be in a pension and
:03:02. > :03:07.make sure you have got money saved for your future, because no one
:03:07. > :03:11.else will pay for you. It will be a struggle but I think it is one of
:03:11. > :03:15.those things I have got to do. rules are if you are over 22, your
:03:15. > :03:20.employer will have 20-year-old you in a pension as long as you are
:03:20. > :03:27.earning more than �1,105 a year. If you do have the right to opt out
:03:27. > :03:35.but only after you have been signed up -- earning more than �8,105 a
:03:35. > :03:39.year. They have to communicate changes at and then we can
:03:39. > :03:43.automatically involve people. than one in three people here are
:03:43. > :03:48.contributing to a pension in the workplace. The question is, will
:03:48. > :03:53.they stick with it? Some fear as many as half could opt out because
:03:53. > :04:00.they cannot afford the payments. Minimum contributions start low but
:04:00. > :04:05.rise to at least 4% out of your pay. I cannot afford to put money in a
:04:05. > :04:10.pension at the minute. She does not work. At my age now I would have to
:04:10. > :04:15.put too much into it to make it worth my while because I am 50 now.
:04:15. > :04:22.At the store, it has been the norm to retire on nothing more than your
:04:23. > :04:29.state pension. If staff do stay with the workplace scheme, it will
:04:29. > :04:34.be difficult to have an extra income on top.
:04:34. > :04:40.Simon Gompertz joins me now. Supermarkets are the first to join
:04:40. > :04:46.the scheme. It is because they are the biggest employers. Morrisons
:04:46. > :04:50.has 130,000, Tescos, Sainsbury's, others as well. In November,
:04:50. > :04:54.another few thousand, the threshold goes down to companies which have
:04:54. > :05:00.50,000 employees. Next year, there will be some months where 2 million
:05:00. > :05:04.a year a month are being enrolled because it will be the medium-sized
:05:04. > :05:09.companies where most people work. In five years' time, the smallest
:05:09. > :05:14.companies will have to be included. And we get to that figure of 11
:05:14. > :05:19.million new pension savers in five or six years' time. The question is,
:05:20. > :05:23.how many of those will stick with it, as I was saying. It could be
:05:23. > :05:28.that 2-5 million will opt out. We are not sure how popular it will be.
:05:28. > :05:31.Thank you. Labour says 100,000 affordable
:05:31. > :05:36.homes should be built, using money from the sale of 4G mobile phone
:05:36. > :05:39.licences. The shadow chancellor, Ed Balls, has just told his party's
:05:39. > :05:42.conference in Manchester, that the expected windfall of between three
:05:42. > :05:44.and �4 billion could also pay for the stamp duty holiday for first-
:05:44. > :05:54.time buyers. Our political correspondent Iain Watson joins us
:05:54. > :05:55.
:05:55. > :05:58.from Manchester now. Ed Balls has just finished his speech. He was
:05:58. > :06:02.addressing this particular problem. Labour is ahead in the opinion
:06:02. > :06:08.polls but if you ask voters, who do you trust to run the economy, or
:06:08. > :06:13.who to blame for the financial crisis, the answer is far less
:06:13. > :06:16.positive for the Labour Party. Et also say we can do things different
:06:16. > :06:21.from the Conservatives but he is also trying to convince us that he
:06:21. > :06:25.would not spend money the country does not have.
:06:25. > :06:30.Labour's slogan is rebuilding Britain. The Shadow Chancellor
:06:30. > :06:34.appears to be taking this literally. He also has to rebuild public trust.
:06:34. > :06:38.He has been careful to make sure spending commitments were fully
:06:38. > :06:42.costed. He said if Labour were in power they would build 100,000 new
:06:42. > :06:48.homes. This would be funded by selling of frequencies for the next
:06:48. > :06:53.generation of mobile phones. Let's use money from the Ford G sale and
:06:53. > :06:57.build 100,000 new affordable homes to rent and by creating thousands
:06:57. > :07:01.of jobs. Let's get our construction industry moving again. That has
:07:01. > :07:08.gone down well with delegates but it is important to read the small
:07:09. > :07:14.print. They are not promising to spend any extra money on housing or
:07:14. > :07:19.anything else if they win the next election in 2015. Hard times are
:07:19. > :07:22.going to last longer than any of us hope and we cannot promise to put
:07:22. > :07:27.everything right straight away. Which is why, however difficult
:07:27. > :07:30.this is, when we don't know what we will inherit, we cannot make any
:07:30. > :07:34.commitments now that the Labour government will be able to reverse
:07:34. > :07:39.tax rises or spending cuts, because unlike Nick Clegg, we will not make
:07:39. > :07:43.promises we cannot keep. That message was not designed to appeal
:07:43. > :07:48.to the trade unions and it did not. Even before Ed Balls took to the
:07:48. > :07:53.stage, the leader of one of the country's biggest unions got his
:07:53. > :07:58.retaliation in first. I say to Ed Balls, asking the poorest for
:07:58. > :08:03.further sacrifices for a crisis which they did not cause, is the
:08:03. > :08:08.road to political ruin. Ed Balls and Ed Miliband were in power when
:08:08. > :08:12.the banks needed to be bailed out and Labour lost its record for
:08:12. > :08:16.economic competence. Winning it back is more important than keeping
:08:16. > :08:20.their own supporters happy. What Ed Balls also said was if
:08:20. > :08:24.Labour took power in 2015, during the first year in office, he would
:08:24. > :08:27.carry out a root and branch review of public spending and cutting down
:08:27. > :08:31.on government waste. The Conservatives are saying why does
:08:31. > :08:36.he not come clean now and tell us what his spending plans would be?
:08:36. > :08:40.Strangely enough, on this, the unions and the Conservatives agree.
:08:40. > :08:44.The trade unions want to see far greater commitments this side of
:08:44. > :08:48.the general election and others will tell me that his speech was
:08:48. > :08:52.not ambitious enough and they want to see far greater policies which
:08:52. > :08:55.address the interests of working people from the Labour leadership.
:08:55. > :08:58.A senior Metropolitan police officer has appeared in court

:16:59. > :17:02.that they could increase the risk of crashes. The European Aviation
:17:02. > :17:07.Safety Agency is setting out final proposals for new regulations that
:17:07. > :17:11.will cover every airline in the European Union. British pilots'
:17:11. > :17:15.representatives have strongly criticised the planned changes.
:17:15. > :17:18.Let's talk to Richard Westcott from Heathrow.
:17:18. > :17:23.Well, British pilots are among the most tightly regulated in the world,
:17:23. > :17:26.but that is not the case across some countries in Europe,
:17:26. > :17:32.especially in the south and the east of Europe. What we have today
:17:32. > :17:37.is a plan to come up a universal set of rules to govern pilot hours
:17:37. > :17:41.across the whole of the EU. For British pilot it is could mean
:17:41. > :17:46.longer shifts, they would be more tired. That could lead to accidents.
:17:46. > :17:51.It is thought that tireness helps to cause around one in five plane
:17:51. > :17:55.crashes around the world it was a factor in accident in buffalo, New
:17:55. > :17:58.York, three years ago when more than 50 people died. The European
:17:58. > :18:01.Aviation Safety Agency has come up with a plan to set a minimum
:18:01. > :18:06.standard for flying hours across the EU.
:18:06. > :18:11.But although it will improve things in some countries, British pilots
:18:11. > :18:15.say they will be working longer shifts. That could cause accidents.
:18:15. > :18:20.The UK aviation industry is impressively safe, but pilots are
:18:20. > :18:23.well-placed to see the warning signs. A warning sign that we have
:18:23. > :18:28.been repeatedly presenting is the risk of pilots falling asleep on
:18:28. > :18:33.the flight deck. Under these proposals that risk
:18:33. > :18:38.will increase substantially. Pilot fat eek is a big issue N a
:18:38. > :18:44.recent survey, nearly half of UK pilots admitted falling asleep by
:18:44. > :18:47.mistake. A third of them woke up to find the co pilot asleep as well.
:18:47. > :18:53.These changes will not mean longer fliering hours across a year, but
:18:53. > :18:58.they will mean longer shifts. Three early starts in a row could
:18:58. > :19:03.become seven early starts in a row. Pilots could end up working longer
:19:03. > :19:09.hours across a two-week period, up from 95 to 110. They may have to
:19:10. > :19:12.fly an hour longer at night. The UK safety regulator, the CAA sports
:19:12. > :19:17.the plan. Arguing that overall, passengers will be safer than
:19:17. > :19:20.before. With the recommendations for the
:19:20. > :19:25.first time, oprairts are going to be legally required to look into
:19:25. > :19:29.the fatigue of their crews. This will bring safety benefits for the
:19:29. > :19:34.travelling public. This is still just a final proposal.
:19:34. > :19:38.It will be at least a year before any new law comes into force.
:19:38. > :19:42.As I said there, not quite done yet. The European Parliament must
:19:42. > :19:46.approve. This but this is key, the CAA, the UK regulator is happy with
:19:46. > :19:51.it. That means that the Government is happy with it. It is almost

:21:19. > :21:24.Duggan was holding a gun like this when they shot him dead. The gun
:21:24. > :21:27.was found about ten feet from where he fell to the ground. Kevin

:22:09. > :22:16.Every morning, people who work in Spain's public hospitals cut the
:22:16. > :22:21.traffic on this main road in Madrid. Angry about government cuts, they
:22:21. > :22:25.are marshaled by the police. This is an indication of how strong
:22:25. > :22:29.people feel in Spain about the cuts to public health. The government is
:22:29. > :22:33.cutting billions off the budget, but there is one section of society
:22:33. > :22:38.that is especially affected by the austerity.
:22:38. > :22:43.That group is the young. Students like Aida Gutierrez, who
:22:43. > :22:48.is now studying to become a doctor. When she finally finishes, six
:22:48. > :22:52.years of study, she will do four as a junior doctor. She knows things
:22:52. > :22:58.will be harder with ever fewer jobs and resources in Spain's public
:22:58. > :23:03.health system. I am worried about not finding
:23:03. > :23:08.anything in my superballity. It is really difficult to study and
:23:08. > :23:12.work for ten years, then to go into a hospital and not to find anything,
:23:12. > :23:17.that will be hard. What if you don't find something in
:23:17. > :23:20.your superballity? I am sure that I will not stay here until someone
:23:20. > :23:24.calls me. I will go out.
:23:24. > :23:28.I want to work as a doctor. You will go abroad? Yes.
:23:28. > :23:32.Then, there are the junior doctors of today.

:24:02. > :24:04.The frustration of some of Spain's young spilled over last week. Many

:25:50. > :25:54.from a different air support base and operated not by the Sussex
:25:54. > :25:57.force, but the National Police Air Service. The changes will be phased
:25:57. > :26:01.in over England and Wales, there will be fewer aircraft. They will
:26:01. > :26:05.take off from fewer centres, but those behind the new service say it
:26:05. > :26:08.will be more efficient, not hampered by the county or the
:26:08. > :26:13.police area borders. We are still flying the same number
:26:13. > :26:17.of hours but with fewer aircraft. So each individual aircraft flies
:26:17. > :26:25.more hours. We have made changes to the bases, so that they are more
:26:25. > :26:28.strategic, covering a greater area. With border last tasking, the
:26:28. > :26:31.nearist aircraft will attend. The aircraft will be controlled

:29:38. > :29:41.Jump forward, and has you hinted it is so different this time. This
:29:41. > :29:46.year the temperatures are struggling. We have had a brisk
:29:46. > :29:50.wind. We have had rain, showers, everything about this weather says
:29:50. > :29:55.autumn. Here is why. Low pressure that will
:29:55. > :29:59.be there for much of the week. Showers and longer spells of rain
:29:59. > :30:04.coming. That is has it has been today. Damp in the south-east. The
:30:04. > :30:07.showers in the west if you are lucky a bit of sunshine inbetween
:30:07. > :30:11.the showers this afternoon. This is how it is looking at 4.00pm. The
:30:11. > :30:16.showers heavy at times, moving quickly on the brisk winds through
:30:16. > :30:19.south-west England and Wales. One or two showers in the north-west of
:30:19. > :30:23.England. Brightening up over the next hour. In Northern Ireland a
:30:23. > :30:27.lull, but there are more heavy showers pushing through from the
:30:27. > :30:31.west as the afternoon goes on. Over western Scotland, showers merge to
:30:31. > :30:36.give a longer spell of rain later. In the east of Scotland you are
:30:36. > :30:39.avoiding the showers into the north-east of England too. Fewer

:31:27. > :31:32.England a drier day. Sunshine in northern Scotland. It will be
:31:32. > :31:36.breezy and cool though. On Wednesday I have changed the day
:31:36. > :31:43.but not the weather. Wet for a time in the far south-east. Windy too.
