:01:34. > :01:37.News at One. The BBC understands that the Bishop of Durham, Justin
:01:37. > :01:42.Welby l be named as the next Archbishop of Canterbury, in
:01:42. > :01:46.secretary session to Rowan Williams. He is known for his opposition to
:01:46. > :01:54.same-sex marriage and his support for women clergy A formal
:01:54. > :01:58.announcement will be made tomorrow morning.
:01:58. > :02:02.It was just one year ago that Justin Welby made the traditional
:02:02. > :02:07.entry to Durham Cathedral as the incoming Bishop. Now he is set to
:02:07. > :02:12.be named as the spiritual leader of the Church of England and nearly 80
:02:12. > :02:19.million Anglicans around the world. This is what I wear to.... Among
:02:19. > :02:25.those he has been chosen over, the Archbishop of York, famous not
:02:26. > :02:30.least for cutting up his dog collar in protest against President Mugabe.
:02:30. > :02:35.And the Bishop of London, who had to deal with weeks of anti-
:02:35. > :02:40.capitalist protests on the steps of St Paul's. Justin Welby started out
:02:40. > :02:47.his working life in business, spending 11 years as an oil
:02:47. > :02:50.executive. Then he sensed a call to the priesthood and was ordained.
:02:50. > :02:55.Reconciliation and conflict- resolution has been a major part of
:02:55. > :02:58.his ministry on his way -- ministry. Educated at Eton and Cambridge, he
:02:58. > :03:04.and his wife had six children, but have known tragedy. He understands
:03:04. > :03:09.something of the sort of darker side of life. He's had personal
:03:09. > :03:15.tragedy in his life. He's had a child that has died in a car crash.
:03:15. > :03:21.That has given him a sort of, I think a richer understanding of the
:03:21. > :03:26.complexity of the world. Besides the more head-line grabbing
:03:26. > :03:30.divisions that he will inherit over such as homosexuality, he will be
:03:30. > :03:34.faced with the financial structures. Filling the pews in the towns and
:03:34. > :03:39.the cities and the rural areas, a challenge where his managerial
:03:39. > :03:45.experience could be a benefit. Today, people in his present dicesy
:03:45. > :03:48.gave their reaction. It is nice for Canterbury. It is a shame he's
:03:48. > :03:53.going. He has really inspired us, in a way that we needed to be
:03:53. > :04:00.inspired. I think he can do that for the whole church.
:04:00. > :04:09.And like Archbishop Rowan Williams before him, Justin Welby is likely
:04:09. > :04:12.to find his biggest challenge is holding that whole church and the
:04:12. > :04:21.leaders together. Quite a task considering he has been a bishop
:04:21. > :04:27.for less than a year. Quite an experience at the top of the Church.
:04:27. > :04:31.That will be tested in all sorts of ways in the coming months. At the
:04:31. > :04:35.start of his tenure in office. Outside the Church he is a member
:04:35. > :04:38.of the commission on banking standards. He has made it clear he
:04:38. > :04:42.relishes the opportunity to speak out in public and political life.
:04:42. > :04:47.We will have more of that, I am sure. Within the Church, one issue
:04:47. > :04:51.which has been a particular problem, though it may be near solution for
:04:51. > :04:56.Rowan Williams, is women Bishops. There is the possibility that will
:04:56. > :04:59.be passed later this month. However, on the issue of homosexuality, most
:04:59. > :05:03.certainly will be a difficult and divisive one for him as it was for
:05:03. > :05:06.Rowan Williams. There are those who are looking for more radical steps
:05:06. > :05:09.on what they would call inclusiveness in the Church, who
:05:09. > :05:15.will be weary of him. But professional colleagues, friends
:05:15. > :05:22.are saying today he's a man of tremendous courage of very deep
:05:22. > :05:27.faith, of very deep personal faith, rooted in Evangelical Christianity.
:05:27. > :05:31.We will hear from him tomorrow to find out more. Indeed. Thank you.
:05:31. > :05:35.David Cameron has said he is determined that the inquiries into
:05:35. > :05:39.child abuse at children's homes, the BBC and children's hospitals
:05:39. > :05:44.should bring the truth to light. He did not want them to turn into a
:05:44. > :05:46.witch hunt against gay people. In a television interview, Mr Cameron
:05:46. > :05:50.urged people with evidence against paedophiles to go to the police.
:05:50. > :05:56.There is a danger, if we are not careful that this could turn into a
:05:56. > :06:00.sort of witch hunt, particularly against people who are gay. I am
:06:00. > :06:05.worried about the sort of thing you are doing right now, giving me a
:06:05. > :06:09.list of names you have taken off the internet. If anyone has any
:06:09. > :06:13.information about anyone who is a paedophile, no matter how high up
:06:13. > :06:15.in British society they are, that is what the police are for.
:06:15. > :06:21.political correspondent is at Westminster for us. Expand on what
:06:21. > :06:25.he had to say and this issue of a potential witch hunt against gay
:06:25. > :06:28.people? This was a significant move by the Prime Minister to respond to
:06:28. > :06:32.the welter of speculation about the latest allegations of child abuse,
:06:32. > :06:38.in particular, of course, the claim that a senior Conservative from the
:06:38. > :06:41.Thatcher era may have been involved in child abuse in North Wales. That
:06:41. > :06:47.is now the subject of an inquiry. The Prime Minister believes there
:06:47. > :06:50.is a danger of people being smeared unfairly by this. He wants anyone
:06:50. > :06:56.with information to go to the police. He was pressed in that
:06:56. > :07:00.interview about the renewed idea of having an overarching inquiry into
:07:00. > :07:04.the allegations of abuse in a series of different institutions,
:07:04. > :07:07.not just the North Wales children's homes, but in the NHS, the BBC and
:07:07. > :07:10.so on. He says he feels at the moment it is more important for the
:07:10. > :07:16.police to look at specific allegations and try and get to the
:07:16. > :07:22.truth this that way. Interestingly enough, he didn't rule out a wider,
:07:22. > :07:25.overarching inquiry in the future. Thank you. China's President Hu
:07:25. > :07:29.Jintao has told the Communist Party Congress that the party could be
:07:29. > :07:39.undermined if it fails to tackle corruption. He was speaking at the

:08:00. > :08:07.political theatre on a grand scale and designed to showcase unity.
:08:07. > :08:12.After a decade in power, President Hu Jintao is stepping down. His
:08:12. > :08:15.awkward style has not always won him public affection. Under his
:08:15. > :08:20.leadership, China has become the world's second largest economy. As
:08:20. > :08:26.he was speaking, his successor, Xi Jinping, looked on.
:08:26. > :08:33.He was surrounded by former leaders. You don't rule alone in China.
:08:33. > :08:38.President Hu spoke of the country's achievements, but warned that
:08:38. > :08:42.corruption could prove fate toll the party. TRANSLATION: We must
:08:42. > :08:45.maintain a tough position in cracking down on corruption at all
:08:45. > :08:50.times and conduct thorough investigations into major
:08:50. > :08:55.corruption cases. All those whovy alate state laws - whoever they are
:08:55. > :09:00.- must be brought to justice, without mercy.
:09:00. > :09:07.Away from the Congress, normal life continues. In China the party
:09:07. > :09:11.decides t public has no say. The future of one-billion plus people
:09:12. > :09:16.will be decided by a handful of men. This woman says that President Hu
:09:17. > :09:22.has done a great job. She is confident he will pick the right
:09:23. > :09:27.successor. This man does not want to talk about politics. He says he
:09:28. > :09:34.will get in trouble as soon as we leave. It is a reminder that
:09:34. > :09:38.despite all the remarkable changes, China remains an authoritarian
:09:38. > :09:43.state. With growing expectations, the Communist Party is under
:09:43. > :09:48.intense pressure - to deliver. China may be richer than it was ten
:09:48. > :09:55.years ago, but it is not necessarily better off. There is

:10:12. > :10:17.changes are we likely to see in terms of the relationship with the
:10:17. > :10:24.west? I don't think we will notice much difference, to be honest. The
:10:24. > :10:28.big area for China at the moment is the Far East. Its relationship with
:10:28. > :10:33.Japan - a very difficult relationship, of course. I don't
:10:33. > :10:39.think it will be a different country when it comes to dealing
:10:39. > :10:45.with either Britain or the United States or Europe or anybody else. I
:10:45. > :10:49.think we'll just see a continuation of the same kind of rule.
:10:49. > :10:53.Domestically, it will be something else. Thank you, we have to leave
:10:53. > :10:58.it there. Thank you. The Bank of England has announced that interest
:10:58. > :11:05.rates will be kept at their record low of 0.5%. It has ruled out
:11:05. > :11:09.pumping more cash into the economy. It is an important decision by the
:11:09. > :11:15.Bank of England - no more new money at this stage to be scattered
:11:15. > :11:18.around the economy. �375 billion has been created so far under the
:11:18. > :11:24.policy known as quantitative easing. The bank could have opted for more,
:11:25. > :11:29.but did not. One, the economy appears to be stabilising. The
:11:29. > :11:33.second is that quantitative easing has reached the limits of its
:11:33. > :11:37.effectiveness. It is not stimulating the credit growth to
:11:37. > :11:42.businesses, to consumers. The Bank of England does have another plan
:11:42. > :11:47.under way to boost lending by the banks, so it may wait to see how
:11:47. > :11:52.that develops. Business leaders say quantitative easing should not be
:11:52. > :11:56.axed. They should keep Q E.ON the table. If the economy weakens, if
:11:56. > :12:02.the storm clouds come back and rain on us again, then of course the
:12:02. > :12:06.bank must hold QE in reserve. effective has the money creation
:12:06. > :12:09.programme been so far? What benefits has it brought to the
:12:09. > :12:14.economy? Well the bank argues without it the recession would have
:12:14. > :12:17.been worse and unemployment higher. There are some sceptics who are not
:12:17. > :12:21.so sure. It was supposed to help companies like this drilling
:12:21. > :12:25.business raise cash. It believes the Bank of England policy will
:12:25. > :12:29.help eventually, but has not done much so far. I don't think it has
:12:29. > :12:35.yet. I think it will in time. Certainly the initial quantitative
:12:35. > :12:40.easing put in there was absorbed by the banks and used to recapitalise
:12:40. > :12:46.themselves. I believe there is lending out there. Much will decide

:18:04. > :18:09.already preparing for Christmas. John is a full-time carer for his
:18:09. > :18:12.mother who has been diagnosed with dementia. Here, his mother is
:18:12. > :18:19.amongst understanding friends, but outside she needs a little more
:18:19. > :18:26.consideration. There are times when she cannot perform as everyone else
:18:26. > :18:31.can. You just need that little bit of extra time to do things, and
:18:31. > :18:35.that little bit of extra space to do an activity or action. If people
:18:35. > :18:40.were a bit more patient with her, then the results from her are
:18:40. > :18:43.better. In centres like this up and down the country there are always

:18:47. > :18:52.Prime Minister once everyday places like supermarkets, banks and GP
:18:52. > :18:56.surgeries to become more accessible for people with the condition. And
:18:56. > :18:59.that is where the dementia friends come in. Ministers are calling for

:28:24. > :28:28.Fairly quiet for many of us today. What you have today we will most
:28:28. > :28:34.likely keep for the afternoon. There is some sunshine out there,
:28:34. > :28:37.but it doesn't last beyond the afternoon. Behind me, this ominous
:28:37. > :28:43.cloud is gathering and that will bring rain by tea time into the
:28:43. > :28:47.Highlands and the Islands of Scotland. There is a little around
:28:47. > :28:51.her south-western England. Cloud has been coming and going but it is
:28:51. > :28:54.pleasant and the winds have eased down since this morning. The
:28:54. > :28:57.temperatures are a bit above what we've seen this week which is about
:28:57. > :29:04.average for the time of year. Pleasant weather. Western areas
:29:04. > :29:08.seeing thicker cloud and the odd drizzly shower. By the afternoon,
:29:08. > :29:13.the rain is knocking on the door of the Highlands of Scotland. That is
:29:13. > :29:16.the big change with the wind strengthening and ushers in rain to
:29:16. > :29:20.the western areas. A damp evening if you're travelling here. Further
:29:20. > :29:25.south, we keep the clear skies, so a chilly night, but in contrast a
:29:25. > :29:31.wet and windy one further north. The rain is slowed to go south so
:29:31. > :29:36.we could have 20 or 30 mm of rain in Scotland. In the south, lighter
:29:36. > :29:40.winds, a touch of patchy ground frost and maybe some mist and fog.
:29:40. > :29:44.We are split three ways tomorrow. The south and east see the best of
:29:44. > :29:48.the dry and bright weather but for Wales and northern England the rain
:29:48. > :29:52.could be throughout the day. In the north, it brightens in Northern
:29:52. > :29:56.Ireland but there will be a rash of showers. We are talking hailstones,
:29:56. > :30:00.thunder, sleet and snow over the hills of Scotland. Decidedly
:30:00. > :30:06.miserable under the band of rain which Peps up across Wales. That is
:30:06. > :30:10.tied in with this weather front which sort of stays put as we start
:30:10. > :30:15.the weekend. By that stage the rain will move into southern and eastern
:30:15. > :30:19.parts, so we are rather wet in the East on Saturday and it could be a
:30:19. > :30:22.late evening until it clears, but then we will see fewer showers but
:30:22. > :30:27.they will come in on a chilly breeze with Hale, thunder, sleet
:30:27. > :30:31.and snow in the hills. Sunday looking like a quieter day of the
:30:31. > :30:36.weekend. Less showers, but a cold start and back to business by
:30:36. > :30:39.Monday as the rain arrives again. Just to reiterate, the weekend look
:30:39. > :30:43.showery with most of the showers on Saturday. Hopefully a dry day on
:30:43. > :30:47.Sunday but a chilly breeze and the frost first thing on Sunday morning.
:30:47. > :30:55.A bit of a mixed bag. Enjoy the sunshine if you see it today and
:30:55. > :30:59.there is plenty more where there on Thanks. Now a reminder of our top
