the right track and turning back on his economic plans would be a | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
disaster. In his Autumn statement, George | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Osborne, told the House of Commons, "It's taking time, but the British | :00:19. | :00:29. | |
:00:29. | :00:30. | ||
economy is healing." in his Autumn Statement we showed his coalition | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
Government is confronting the problems instead of ducking them. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
The deficit is going up and knock down on his watch. We remembered | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
the posters saying I will cut the deficit, not the NHS. We'll be | :00:44. | :00:46. | |

still causing unnecessary deaths in Good afternoon and welcome to the | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
BBC news at One. The Chancellor, George Osborne, has | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
been telling MPs there is "no miracle cure" for the UK's economic | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
problems, in his Autumn Statement. He's been on his feet for half an | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
hour. Let's have a look at the key developments this morning. The | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Office of Budget Responsibility downgraded its growth forecast down | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
from 0.8% to 0%. The Chancellor admitted the national debt would | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
:02:28. | :02:46. | ||
Are we facing more austerity? He knows the answer to that. Yes we | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
are. More tax rises are coming and more spending cuts are on the | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
weight. The man that lives next door knows the journey ahead is | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
about to get longer and harder. People know there are no quick | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
fixes to these problems. But they want to know that we are making | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
progress and the message from today's Autumn Statement is we are | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
making progress. The problem is the deficit. It is not falling fast | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
enough. It could take until 2018 to deal with the big difference | :03:19. | :03:29. | |
:03:29. | :03:29. | ||
between what the Government has got coming into what it is spending. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
quickly enough and it is no where near were forecast. All of which | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
means the debt is increasing, not falling. That was the key targets | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
and the Government will miss it. short, the tougher economic | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
conditions mean that while the debt as it is forecast to go on falling, | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
instead of taking three years, it is going to take four. It is not | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
all doom and gloom. There is extra money for investment in roads and | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
schools, that was announced yesterday. The planned rise in fuel | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
duty won't happen, all of which is designed to ease the squeeze. | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
Speaking earlier, the Labour leader was damp. The deck as it is going | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
up and knock down on his watch. We remember the posters with his | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
airbrushed face, saying I will cut the deficit, not the NHS. The facts | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
speak for themselves, he has cut the NHS and he is not cutting the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
deficit. The Chancellor and coalition think they're on the | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
right track. They reckon their tax and spend found -- plans offer. But | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
it will take longer than planned to get the wind back in the sales of | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
the UK economy. Our chief economics correspondent, | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
Hugh Pym, is with me. What has caught your eyes so far? | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
It's is a bleak prognosis. In other words more austerity. A bit of | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
better news he announced, is borrowing this financial year would | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
be lower than last year. They had been predictions it would be higher, | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
which would have been embarrassing for the Chancellor to have higher | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
borrowing. He has avoided that. But he is having to shift his key debt | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
reduction target. He said he wanted to reduce Government debt as a | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
percentage of national income in the 2015, 16 year. It was a firm | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
target when he took the job in 2010, now he is saying it is delayed. He | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
has pushed back the austerity programme into 2017, 18. And | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
spending in that final year will be more than 4 billion a lower in real | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
terms than it might have been before today's announcement. If you | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
like, he has some of the bad news out there as expected, but trying | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
to say this is very much to external events. The Office for | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Budget Responsibility says it is largely down to the world economy. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
But Labour is likely to contest that. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
Let's speak to our political correspondent, Norman Smith. There | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
is a lot at stake at this? wasn't just about economic facts | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
and figures, it was a direct appeal to the public for patients, and is | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
also an appeal by the Chancellor for people to trust him. Because, | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
based with sluggish, falling growth, the Chancellor's response was to | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
delay the economic turnaround, delay his own targets, putting back | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
when we will begin to pay off debts, put him back when we will have got | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
rid of the structural deficit by a further year. The danger | :06:37. | :06:46. | |
politically, it can be presented as a man in a sombrero simply saying | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
later, later. The Chancellor's response is, we are getting there. | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
The global position is much worse and to abandon the position we are | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
in would put us in a worse situation. He is asking for | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
patients from the British public. We're talking about a years of | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
austerity. No one alive today will have lived anything like that. Aids | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
for years of entrenchment in public spending. | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
And we'll have more on the Chancellor's speech later in the | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
programme. The King Edward the VII Hospital in | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
London has confirmed that it's fallen victim to a prank call in | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
which an Australian radio station tried to contact the Duchess of | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Cambridge. A nurse who took the call discussed the Duchess' | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
condition - she's being treated there for chronic sickness. The | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
hospital's chief executive said patient confidentiality is taken | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
extremely seriously and that a review had begun into how calls are | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
handled. Our Royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, is at the | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
hospital now. Embarrassment for the hospital, | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
certainly, which has said it deeply regrets the incident. And | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
difficulty for the unfortunate switchboard operator, and | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
unfortunate for the night duty nurse, who believed they were | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
talking to the Queen. Both from Buckingham Palace, and St James's | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
Palace, they are taking it in their stride. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
It was a few hours at the William had left the hospital on Monday | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
night, that the Australian radio station made the call. A disc | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
jockey called pretending to be the Queen. | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
:08:32. | :08:32. | ||
Good morning. Could I speak to, Kate please, my granddaughter? | :08:32. | :08:42. | |
hold on. Are they putting us through? If this has worked, it is | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
the easiest prank call I have ever made. In the ensuing conversation, | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
which we are not broadcasting, a nurse gave details about Kate's | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
condition. Like any patient she is entitled to confidentiality. The | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
hospital prides itself on its long association with the Royal Family. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
In a statement it says it deeply regrets the incident. The chief | :09:07. | :09:17. | |
:09:17. | :09:20. | ||
Prince William arrive at the hospital shortly after midday, | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
without making any comment. He is expected to spend several hours | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
with his wife. The first public comments about Kate's pregnancy | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
within the Royal Family, came from the Earl of Wessex this morning. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Deep sympathy with Catherine. We know somebody who has suffered | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
exactly the same. We wouldn't wish that on anybody. All the best | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
wishes for her. Back at the hospital, all aspects of security | :09:49. | :09:57. | |
As for the patient, without breaching her confidentiality, | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
there has been no further information this morning and I am | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
not sure we will get any more details today. William is still at | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
her bedside. The Palace last night said she is continuing to feel | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
better. The number of severely premature | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
babies that survive is on the increase - that's according to two | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
studies of more than f5,000 births in hospitals across England. | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
However, researchers from University College London and Queen | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Mary University of London, also discovered that the proportion of | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
children who have severe disabilities has remained unchanged. | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
Our medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh, reports. | :10:34. | :10:43. | |
Fragile, vulnerable and tiny. This little boy weighed just want 0.5lb | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
when he was delivered a 24 weeks. Any one out of 10 babies born that | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
early will survive. He is doing well in east London. When I found | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
out she was going into labour, I thought, she cannot be, it is only | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
four months. It is shocking to see him this small, but he is doing | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
good. In 1995, 40% of babies born between 22 and 25 weeks, and | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
admitted to intensive care survived. In 2006, the figure rose to 53%. | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
Hello. Doctors say although the research was done in England, the | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
improvements apply across the UK. Obstetric colleagues are using more | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
antenatal steroid to make the baby's lungs mature, so it is | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
easier for them to breed. We are better at paediatricians from | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
stopping babies becoming cold when they are first born. The air has | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
been a dramatic increase in the number of severely premature babies | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
being admitted to intensive care. Doctors are not sure why. It is not | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
because of multiple births from fertility treatment, which has been | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
a problem in the past. And decreasing age of mothers explains | :11:55. | :12:04. | |
only part of the rise. It costs �1,500 a week to care for a baby in | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
intensive care. And although more are doing well, there has been no | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
improvement in the proportion who end up with a serious disability. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
Around one in five he had conditions such as cerebral palsy, | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
blindness or deafness. A decision's expected today on the | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
future of London's Olympic Stadium. A deal which would have seen West | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Ham United take over the venue collapsed last year. But the | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
Premier League club is expected to be named as the preferred bidder | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
again. Our sports correspondent, James Pearce, is here. What has | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
changed? This is a step forward, but a process that has had plenty | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
of steps backwards. West Ham have already been announced as preferred | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
bidders. Last time the deal collapsed under legal challenges. | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
There are differences this time. At that initial phase they were going | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
to buy the stadium. We no major changes, there would be down | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
scaling. But now they will have �150 million worth of retractable | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
seating but in which makes it a better view for spectators. He will | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
pay for that? That is why this deal is far from done. Yes, they are | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
preferred bidders, but it is far from done. It will cost �150 | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
million putting in the seating, and West Ham are only offering �50 | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
million. Boris Johnson once the club to greet two extra money | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
generated because they are the tenants of the Olympic Stadium and | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
the taxpayer should have some say in it. An interesting line from the | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
legacy company is saying, other parties might not be able to meet | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
the necessary conditions, so are progressing a detailed design for a | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
non-football option. So we're not much further forward at all. | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
A powerful typhoon which has caused destruction across parts of the | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
Philippines is now known to have killed more than 200 people and | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
left thousands missing. Worst hit was a mountainous coastal region, | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
which took the full force of the storm. Residents in one area were | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
hit by a mudslide after they'd abandoned their homes for an | :14:11. | :14:21. | |
evacuation centre. Kate McGeown sent this report from from Manila. | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
The human cost of Typhoon Bopha. Torrents of water came down the | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
mountains, killing and injuring scores of people. People like this | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
family. TRANSLATION: My father is in | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
hospital. My mother and older brother was swept away by water. | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
That was the last time I saw them. My mother said to me, "I love you". | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
Carried to safety by his cousin, young Julius is facing the fact | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
most of his immediate family are dead. More than half of the | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
reported casualties off from the same province. Most of their crops | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
have been wiped out, power and communications are down, homes and | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
infrastructure destroyed. The Government in Manila has often been | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
accused of doing too little and too late when it comes to disasters | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
like this. But this time be seen to have been more proactive. The | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
President went on television to advise people to leave at risk | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
areas. There were phone numbers made available and people were | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
being sent messages on Facebook and Twitter, to advise them what to do. | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
This preparation appears to have paid off. Preparation centres are | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
providing basic care of thousands. Rescue workers are saying, as bad | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
as things are, they could have been worse. Typhoon Bopha was the | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
strongest to hit the Philippines or years. And the strongest to hit | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
this area in decades. In the past, typhoons of this strength claimed | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
thousands of lives. But this time, people in its path had warning and | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
the death toll is substantially lower. But for these people, that | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
is little comfort. One life lost, one widely had destroyed, is still | :16:10. | :16:20. | |
:16:20. | :16:20. | ||
Our top story this lunch time: the Chancellor has downgraded Britain's | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
growth forecasts but says the country is on the right track and | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
turning back on his plans would be a disaster. He told the House of | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
Commons it's taking time but the British economy is healing. | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
Coming up: seven wickets for England's bowlers, including that | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
Tendulkar. On BBC London, GP care varies | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
across the capital, but a new report suggests it doesn't | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
necessarily depend on whether you live in a rich or poor area. | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
And with the first snowfall across the south-east, how is the weather | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
for the next few days? Planners will decide today whether | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
to give the go-ahead to build Britain's biggest moss income east | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
London. At if you are times the size of St Paul's Cathedral, it's | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
been dubbed the megamosque and will become the European centre for the | :17:12. | :17:21. | |
world's largest Islamic movement, Tablighi Jamaat. Critics say it'll | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
become an Islamic enclave as the followers of Yusuf Jamma have to | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
keep contact with secular life to a minimum. | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
In sight of Canary Wharf, the world's largest missionary movement | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
now wants to build a huge new mosque to be their regional | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
headquarters. Tablighi Jamaat already own this piece of | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
industrial wasteland. For years they've used makeshift port cabins | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
for prayers. Tablighi Jamaat was Muslims to go | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
back to a pure Islamic faith untainted by modern attitudes. They | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
believe their followers should have as little as possible to do with | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
the wider secular society. It's from here that they want to preach | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
that message. The leaders have refused us interviews, notoriously | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
adverse to publicity. We want to talk so some of the people going to | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
pray. I'm late. I am the imam. are the imam. Hello. Can I quickly | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
ask you? I haven't got time. I'm late. Can I ask you about the new | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
mosque you want to build? I cannot give you anything right now. | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
cannot give me an interview. But some non- tab leaguey Muslims were | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
taby to speak. -- Tablighi. I feel there is a need for people like | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
them because they are presenting a true, peaceful image of Islam. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
Campaigners against the Newham mosque worry about the movement's | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
ideology. They are teaching that Muslims should keep themself | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
separate from everybody else. They should isolate them from everybody | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
else and the more you do that, the better Muslim you are. It's very | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
antisocial teaching and doesn't help any integration and community | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
feeling. In effect, what they would do in the long-run is build a get | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
yo, an Islamic enclave. The new mosque would hold 9,000 worshippers, | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
nearly four times of capacity of St Paul's Cathedral. | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
Many local Muslims are also uneasy about the new mosque but were | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
nervous about speaking publicly against it. Some told us it would | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
give one Islamic group too much dominance over the whole community. | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Planning experts are advising the local authority to refuse | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
permission for the mosque complex, arguing it doesn't provide the | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
desired mixture of housing and jobs. Frankie Dettori has been banned | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
from racing for six months after he failed a drugs test in France in | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
September. The six-month ban means Dettori will miss the 1,000 and | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
2,000 Guineas but he will be back in time for the Derby. | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
COMMENTATOR: Another win for Dettori. In a sport with few | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
household names, he is the superstar. Frankie Dettori, the | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
bubbley personality, the countless winners, the flying dismounts. But | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
from success to scandal, after a hearing in Paris, Dettori banned | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
for taking n unspecified substance. Today his lawyer said he'd made a | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
mistake. He also accepts that he has let down the sport he loves and | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
all those associated with it, as well as the wider public. But, most | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
of all, and this is his greatest regret, he has let down his wife | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
and children. It was back in September that Dettori competed | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
here at Longchamp on the outskirts of Paris. He didn't win any of his | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
four race, but the drugs test that he failed that day has now had the | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
most serious of consequences. Ever since he won all seven races | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
at Ascot in 1986, Dettori has been pure box office from. A team | :21:05. | :21:13. | |
captain on Question of Sport Stop it, boys. To a torch-bearer at this | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
year's Olympics. For nearly 20 years, the Frankie Factor has been | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
racing's greatest asset People go racing because Frankie is riding. | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
Autograph hunt remembers swarming around him. Everyone recognises him. | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
That's why this is news right around the world. Dettori, who's | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
banned until May, has vowed to rebuild his reputation. But | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
racing's brightest star now faces his toughest challenge. | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
Now, if you bought a lottery ticket in Hertfordshire in June, you need | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
to look under your sofa now. Someone somewhere is sitting on a | :21:51. | :21:54. | |

unclaimed prize. -- 11.00pm. Where could it be? Down the back of | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
a couch? Buried at the bottom of a handful? Here? There? Time's almost | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
up in the search for a missing multi-million pound lottery ticket | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
Everyone has been looking for it. Everybody I know. People who have | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
never even bought a ticket have been looking for it. Have you had a | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
good luck? Definitely. But no joy. I could do with �63 million. | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
this newsing agent in Stevenage they have seen a steady stream of | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
hopefuls, none with the magic numbers. Recently everyone is | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
looking for the tickets. Searching high and low, in vans, cars, houses, | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
upstairs, downstairs, anywhere they can think of. They have until | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
11.00pm to come forward, if not the money will go to charity, becoming | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
the biggest unclaimed jackpot in British Lottery history. While | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
there is time, we have hope. We hope the winner comes forward and | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
we can pay them out. They've had 180 days since the day of the draw. | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
Chance may be slim but hopefully we'll be helping someone to | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
celebrate. Mis-placed tickets have been found in time before. Ieries | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
Jeffries scooped �20 million after a TV appeal. Maurice Mogg won �1.9 | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
million in 1997. His ticket turned newspaper his secretary's make-up | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
back and Chris Jackson won �250,000 in 2000. His ticket found in a | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
shoebox in the back of the car he was living in. The local paper has | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
reported the Lotto frepbzy and now the campaign to keep the money -- | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
Frenzy. It was bought here. It should go to good causes in this | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
area and not to the rest of the country. With the added interest, | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
it comes to almost �46 -- 64 million. A staggering amount to win. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
A staggering amount to lose. Cricket and England have had the | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
better of the opening day's play in the third test in Kolkata, | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
restricting India. James Anderson took three wickets, including | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
Sachin Tendulkar, who made 76. Joe Wilson reports. | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
Cricket, of course, is a great unifyer. Everyone knows that the | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
team that bats first in Kolkata should score loads. Of 616, 643, | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
631, India's recent totals. But every run must be completed which | :24:42. | :24:52. | |
:24:52. | :24:53. | ||
Virender Sehwag seemed to forget. Run out. Still, Che Pujara has | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
great powers of concentration - normally. And Monty Panesar appears | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
to have been practising his celebration. | :25:01. | :25:11. | |
:25:11. | :25:11. | ||
Gautam Gambhir, from a decent catch by Trot. Virat Colely was caught | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
and England inspired. India 136-4. Remember this th man it. Seemed | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
that the world was waiting for Sachin Tendulkar to retire or to be | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
retired. Here was another 50 to extend his record at the top of the | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
all-time scoring list. If this is his farewell tour, India wants to | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
enjoy it, but there is painful viewing. | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
Swan to Singh, catching practice. James Anderson and Matt prier a | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
precious moment. When things are going your way, it's always | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
tempting to want mofrplt Anderson to Ashwin. -- want more. | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
Seven wickets taken. Certainly England's day it. Could be their | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
match. Now, a look at the weather. Philip | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
is here. is here. | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
Snow for many this morning. Yes across the south-east one or two | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
woke up to those scenes. This afternoon, for the most part will | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
be a sunny one for many parts of the British Isles. There is the | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
cloud across the south-eastern quarter of the British Isles that | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
brought more snow than we were expecting, but following on behind | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
clear skies for many and there will be a further supply of wintry | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
showers in eastern coastal counties of England. A chilly one in | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
prospect. That's as high as the temperatures get. As soon as the | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
sun is down, a widespread frost. An early one for Scotland and Northern | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Ireland, because we are bringing in cloud, rain, sleet and snow here. | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
These are the towns and city temperatures but in the countryside | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
it'll be one of the coldest nights of the week thus farment | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
Minus five or minus six. -- thus far. Tomorrow morning and the | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
commute. Ten to 15 centimetres on the highest ground in Scotland. | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
Above 200m, five to 10 centimetres. If you are thinking about the M8 | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
there could be significant snowfall. The snow extending even at this | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
stage in the morning down towards Cumbria. Further south where you | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
have had showers overnight, watch out for ice through eastern coastal | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
counties. It is that sort of damp time of year there. Could be quite | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
a tricky situation with regard to ice across central and southern | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
England. Always milder down towards the south-west. Similar sort of | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
prospect into the south-western corner of Wales, too. If you are | :27:29. | :27:36. | |
at minus something on the dashboard as you drive to work. A really wet | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
start across a good of Northern Ireland. But bear in mind what I | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
intelait snowfall. Significant amounts here. -- bear in mind what | :27:46. | :27:53. | |
I say about Northern Ireland. Watch out for the snow getting into | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
the north of England, not just in higher levels. It could be into | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
major conurbations as a covering later in the day. | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
The weather feature lurking win tent through the course of Friday. | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
A lot of isobars on the chart. Yes there will be sunshine away from | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
eastern coastal fringes where it will be a dank day. But with the | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
wind in that direction, those are the temperatures you can expect. We | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
forget about low pressure towards the weekend. High pressure | :28:19. | :28:26. | |
dominating but rather cloudy across the northern parts of the British | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
Isles. Please bear in mind what I say about the travel situation in | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
Scotland and northern England. You can get more updates here and at | :28:35. | :28:40. | |
the Bakke weather website. More now on what the Chancellor has | :28:40. | :28:45. | |
been saying. Hugh Pym joins us. What has been | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
going on? We learned about the real losers. The continued squeeze will | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
hit people on benefits. Most working age benefits, the | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
Chancellor said, increases capped at 1% over the next three years, | :28:57. | :29:01. | |
even if inflation is above that. As well as people who are unemployed, | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
it'll affect people on some tax credits. So they could be in work, | :29:04. | :29:10. | |
on tax credits, and they will be squeezed there. In terms of | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
possible winners., business got measures they will applaud. Cuts in | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
corporation tax, 1p in the pound. A big boost to investment allowances | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
and drivers. The 3p fuel duty increase, that was set to take | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
effect in January, hasn't been postponed. The Chancellor said it | :29:26. | :29:31. | |
has been cancelled it. Just won't happen. So, that's the way he sees | :29:31. | :29:34. | |
the better news at the end of the speech. But overall, as we have | :29:34. | :29:39. | |
been hearing, it is an austerity Autumn Statement. Thank you very | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
much that's the economics of it. What about the politics. Carole | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
Walker is in Westminster? Well we saw some very interesting coalition | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
saw some very interesting coalition politics on display as the | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
Chancellor announced he was not going to introduce a mansion tax, | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
the levy on the most expensive profits r properties which the Lib | :29:56. | :30:02. | |
Dems wanted. Nick Clegg shook his head in disappointment at that. | :30:02. | :30:09. | |
Just to pick up on what Hhu, gh was talking ban important signal from | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
the Chancellor who wants to keep the benefits, certainly not | :30:12. | :30:16. | |
increasing any fagser than public sector pay. -- faster. This of | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
course a Chancellor who will have to get through some legislation to | :30:19. | :30:24. | |
keep these benefits down. Interesting boost for business, in | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
particular some extra funding for the regional development | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
partnerships. That's something which Lord Heseltine has been | :30:33. | :30:37. | |
recommending and of course as Hugh mentioned there. He got a big cheer | :30:37. | :30:42. | |
when he announced that the 3p rise in fuel duty, due to come in the | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
new year will be scrapped altogether. I think he was | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
desperate to show that despite the very grim overall picture, he did | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
have at least some positive news to announce. | :30:51. | :30:57. | |
Thank you very much. Now a reminder of your main story: | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
the Chancellor downgrading Britain's growth forecast but says | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
the country is on the right track and turning back on his economic | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
plans would be a disaster. In the last few minutes, the Shadow | :31:08. | :31:15. | |
Chancellor, Ed Balls showed the statement showed the true scale of | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
economic failure. We have learned growth is downgraded, this year, | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
next year, the year after, the year after and the year after that, too. | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
The longest double-dip recession since the Second World War, now | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
followed by the slowest recovery in the last 100 years. Well ux keep | :31:31. | :31:34. |
