:02:25. > :02:30.heart-break. An interfaith prayer vigil for the dead. In his role as

:02:40. > :02:47.assurance. I come to offer the love and prayers of the nation. I am

:04:45. > :04:49.President's call for meaningful action in the wake of these
:04:50. > :04:53.killings will soon be tested. A senior Democrat will try and
:04:53. > :04:57.introduce a law to ban assault weapons. The question is whether
:04:57. > :05:04.the political climate has changed after this tragedy, so that such a
:05:05. > :05:11.ban can pass. Let's pick that up now with our
:05:11. > :05:16.correspondent, who joins us from Newtown. How much has the feeling
:05:16. > :05:21.towards gun laws changed since what happened in Newtown? Well,
:05:21. > :05:26.unfortunately in America they have seen mass shootings before, but I
:05:26. > :05:32.think why this one particularly is so different is because it involves
:05:32. > :05:37.children of such a young age and shot in such a brutal way using an
:05:37. > :05:41.assault weapon. An assault weapon which had previously been banned by
:05:41. > :05:45.federal law, but that law had lapsed in 2004. There is talk now
:05:45. > :05:49.about having that reinstated. Certainly President Obama was here
:05:49. > :05:53.last night, speaking at that memorial service and he vowed to
:05:53. > :05:59.use all the powers of his office to make sure that something like this
:05:59. > :06:01.never happened again. He didn't mention gun control specifically.
:06:01. > :06:06.But there is increasing pressure for something to be done, possibly
:06:06. > :06:09.to tighten the laws. Many States over the last few years have seen
:06:09. > :06:13.laws against guns actually get more lenient.
:06:13. > :06:17.Thank you. You can find out more about the
:06:17. > :06:23.debate on gun laws in America and some profiles of some of those who
:06:23. > :06:30.lost their lives in the Newtown shootings. It's on the BBC News
:06:30. > :06:34.website. A further 300,000 people are likely
:06:34. > :06:37.to have been pushed into fuel poverty by Christmas, according to
:06:37. > :06:42.Government advisers. A household is considered to be fuel poor if more
:06:42. > :06:49.than 10% of income is spent on Energy Bills. The big six energy
:06:49. > :06:54.firms have all announced price rises this winter. The annual
:06:54. > :06:57.direct debit bill per year is �1,000.
:06:57. > :07:03.It's the perfect Christmas scene. With our energy prices up, and
:07:03. > :07:08.winter upon us, the last thing many households will want this year is a
:07:08. > :07:13.white Christmas. The latest figures suggest that a further 300,000
:07:13. > :07:19.households will be pushed into fuel poverty by the latest rounds of
:07:19. > :07:22.energy price hikes. Leaving 6.5 million households classed as fuel
:07:22. > :07:27.poor. Some suggest the figure could go higher in the years to come.
:07:27. > :07:32.And it is the vulnerable who suffer most. Over half of them are
:07:32. > :07:38.pensioners. Around one-third have a disability or a long-term illness.
:07:38. > :07:41.Around one fifth, or 20%, they have a child under five. With Energy
:07:41. > :07:46.Bills already at record high levels, this report warns that the plight
:07:46. > :07:50.of the fuel poor has never be more serious. What's more, there are now
:07:50. > :07:56.real concerns that in the coming years our domestic Energy Bills
:07:56. > :08:00.could go higher. Some fear that global gas prices
:08:00. > :08:05.could be one of the main drivers. The Government's plans for low-
:08:05. > :08:11.carbon energy will also increase our bills. Today, the energy
:08:11. > :08:14.regulator confirmed we would all pay an extra �12 on average a year
:08:14. > :08:17.to upgrade the electricity and gas networks. We know that people are
:08:17. > :08:22.struggling with their bills. That is something we are very conscious
:08:22. > :08:26.of. Our plans are designed to make sure that customers pay the minimum
:08:26. > :08:30.for the necessary upgrades to the infrastructure.
:08:30. > :08:35.The report calls for a step-change in the energy efficiency of our
:08:35. > :08:42.housing stock. It warns that in England help for the fuel poor will
:08:42. > :08:45.be cut by almost half. So what can the Government do? Gas prices will
:08:45. > :08:49.have doubled by 2007. No-one can do anything about that. I am
:08:49. > :08:53.determined to do as much as we can, whether on competition, to drive
:08:54. > :08:59.down energy costs or whether in energy efficiency. That will not
:08:59. > :09:03.help this Christmas, when for many, there'll be just one way to keep
:09:03. > :09:07.bills low. The Queen is going to Downing Street tomorrow to attend a
:09:07. > :09:10.Cabinet meeting as an observer. It is thought to be the first time a
:09:10. > :09:15.monarch has done so since Queen Victoria's reign. She is expected
:09:15. > :09:18.to sit next to the Prime Minister. Nick, how much is Downing Street
:09:18. > :09:27.revealing about what is likely to happen tomorrow? Not a great deal.
:09:27. > :09:32.It has to be said. The Queen, she has regular meetings with her Prime
:09:32. > :09:36.Ministers. Perhaps, surprisingly, she has never attended a Cabinet
:09:36. > :09:40.meeting. No monarch has since Queen Victoria. Tomorrow, the Queen will
:09:40. > :09:45.come here to Downing Street. The purpose of the visit is to receive
:09:45. > :09:48.a Diamond Jubilee gift from the Cabinet. They've had a kind of a
:09:48. > :09:55.whip around and they are not revealing what they have raised or
:09:55. > :09:59.what that gift is. A previous Government for a previous jubilee
:09:59. > :10:05.bought her a silver coffee pot. She will join the Cabinet meeting, not
:10:05. > :10:10.for the 90 minutes, be -- but it is thought for 30 minutes. Downing
:10:10. > :10:15.Street are saying she will be an observer. She's not expected to
:10:15. > :10:19.make any contributions. Judging by the sharp questions she asked at
:10:19. > :10:23.the Bank of England last Thursday, you never know!
:10:23. > :10:25.Thank you. Nick Clegg has set out the differences between his party

:11:36. > :11:40.compromise. The party's future in Government would be in coalition,
:11:40. > :11:44.said Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems would be those who tempered the
:11:44. > :11:49.iedlogs of left and right. It is, at times like these, that Britain
:11:49. > :11:53.needs a party rooted in the centre ground, which anchors the country
:11:53. > :11:58.there. The Liberal Democrats are that
:11:58. > :12:07.party. We're not centre-ground tourists.
:12:07. > :12:10.The centre ground is our home. The strategy had already borne
:12:10. > :12:17.fruit. It was his presence that stopped the Conservatives from
:12:17. > :12:22.pushing through a further �10 billion of benefits cuts. We agreed
:12:22. > :12:27.to update them all in line with the pay raises we can afford from the
:12:27. > :12:37.public sector from 1%. We rejected the more extreme reforms that had
:12:37. > :12:43.been put on the table. But after 2015 15 things like the winter fuel
:12:43. > :12:50.allowance and free TV licenses for the elderly can be cut. It is not
:12:50. > :12:53.sustainable to somehow say that people, multi-millionaire
:12:53. > :12:57.pensioners still receive universal benefits across the board. It is
:12:57. > :13:03.something we need to look at. was a pitch for the centre ground.
:13:03. > :13:08.The problem is everyone else wants to be there too. Nick Clegg's
:13:08. > :13:12.likening his new approach to the making of sausages. He wants the
:13:12. > :13:18.public to know what goes into coalition policy and what he
:13:18. > :13:23.insists is left out. I guess the taste test will be in the opinion
:13:23. > :13:28.polls. Thank you. Nearly 60 MPs and peers from all parties have joined
:13:28. > :13:32.forces to urge the Prime Minister to drop his plans to legalise same-

:14:25. > :14:29.This tragedy has been closely followed in India. And the media
:14:29. > :14:33.were out in full force. It's been the wish of Jacintha Saldanha's

:14:37. > :14:42.gathered here today to pay their last respects. The police have had
:14:42. > :14:47.a very hard time controlling the crowds. This is an event that has
:14:47. > :14:51.devastated this very close, tightly-knit community. Many people
:14:51. > :14:57.are raising questions, wondering how this could have happened in the
:14:57. > :15:01.first place. Her final resting place is in this grave at the
:15:01. > :15:05.Church cemetery. Mrs Saldanha's husband, who brought her body from
:15:05. > :15:10.the UK, inspected it earlier in the day. The Church service was

:15:21. > :15:26.Most families here have a loved one living and working abroad. So this

:16:23. > :16:29.doors are open to those who need help and support. Sometimes, though,
:16:29. > :16:32.that accessability can have dangers. Earlier in the year, the Reverend,
:16:32. > :16:37.Reverend John Suddards was murdered in his vicarage. His death prompted
:16:37. > :16:42.concerns about the dangers facing the clergy and their families.
:16:42. > :16:46.Reverend John Suddards had been the vicar of St Mary's Church in
:16:46. > :16:52.Thornberry for six months when he was attacked and murdered. He was
:16:52. > :16:55.well aware of the potential risks that came with the collar and once
:16:55. > :16:58.discussed the issue with a community radio station.
:16:58. > :17:03.I think it is very important, the Church has been there for the
:17:03. > :17:08.people of Thornberry for hundreds of years. We do have to take risks,
:17:08. > :17:13.but we believe they are the risks we are called on to take.
:17:13. > :17:16.Risks that just months later would cost his life. Such murders are
:17:16. > :17:21.rare, but abuse and violence are not.
:17:21. > :17:25.I came here, there was a big group of lads kicking a football up
:17:25. > :17:31.against the crucifix here. A football, repeatedly doing it. I
:17:31. > :17:35.was unnerved by that. So I came out, I grabbed the ball, went inside and
:17:35. > :17:39.locked the doors. Father Kevin Scully was badly
:17:39. > :17:43.beaten up at his church in East London.
:17:43. > :17:49.I raze how close and dangerous the situation had been. How near to
:17:49. > :17:54.real hurt, and real danger that I was. So that affected the way that
:17:54. > :17:58.I behaved, especially, I would see groups of lads coming around, I
:17:58. > :18:04.would lock up the church. I was anxious. I had to seek professional
:18:04. > :18:10.help. I was unnerved and had lost my confidence.
:18:10. > :18:16.Now, the number of these attacks can be difficult to categorise.
:18:16. > :18:20.Academic research in the past, has named the clergy as one of the most
:18:20. > :18:24.at-risk groups of professionals working in the community. This is

:18:30. > :18:34.and tried to attack me? Where would I go? The doors are there? These
:18:34. > :18:38.courses don't teach martial arts, the aim is to prevent situations
:18:38. > :18:43.escalating to the point of violence, so that priests, and in this case,

:18:48. > :18:53.If you are aware you are on your own in that vicarage, you are
:18:53. > :18:57.putting yourself at danger. Say "no", but give an alternative.
:18:57. > :19:04.For many, that may feel as if it goes against the core beliefs, but

:19:26. > :19:30.Now let's speak with our correspondent. What more do we

:19:34. > :19:38.he swore at the police officers who tried to stop him riding on his
:19:38. > :19:42.bike through the main gates of Downing Street. He apologised for
:19:42. > :19:47.that and has paid a political price, but he denies calling the officers
:19:47. > :19:51.morons and plebes, who should know their place. These are the alleged
:19:51. > :19:57.comments in a police log book about the event and those comments were
:19:57. > :20:00.leaked to two national newspapers. So the issue is who leaked that
:20:00. > :20:03.information without authorisation and Scotland Yard says that the
:20:03. > :20:08.Metropolitan Police got a fresh tip-off on Thursday about this. On
:20:08. > :20:13.Saturday they arrested a constable with the diplomatic protection
:20:13. > :20:17.group. He has been suspended and he has been bailed until next month. I
:20:17. > :20:22.should make the point that this is not one of the officers on duty,
:20:22. > :20:25.involved in the incident in Downing Street itself at the time. We have
:20:25. > :20:29.had reaction from the Police Federation saying it expresses

:21:17. > :21:21.Azelle Rodney was 24 when he was shot dead by the police in north

:21:30. > :21:34.scores of witnesses, including the marksman who fired the fatal shots.
:21:34. > :21:38.That officer did not give him time to put his hands up, get out or
:21:38. > :21:42.anything, you know? So, you are supposed to stop and warn somebody
:21:42. > :21:49.before you do something. He did not do that.
:21:49. > :21:55.He didn't stand a chance. This footage, filmed from a police

:22:02. > :22:06.working on intelligence, that the men they were chasing were
:22:06. > :22:15.respected of being armed with machine guns and on their way to
:22:15. > :22:22.rip off a Colombian drugs gang. One officer stopped and opened fire.
:22:22. > :22:28.Sweet as... This is a reconstruction of how the car drew
:22:28. > :22:33.level with the Gulf and that officer, known only as E7, shot
:22:33. > :22:37.Azelle Rodney in the back seat. E7 told the inquiry he believed that
:22:37. > :22:42.the suspect was reaching forward for a weapon to open fire. Guns
:22:42. > :22:45.were found in the car, but not in Azelle Rodney's hand. One former
:22:45. > :22:49.Scotland Yard firearms commander, described the judgment call that
:22:49. > :22:52.the marks men have to make. The police officer is aware that
:22:52. > :22:56.the time frame that they are working to is about a quarter of a
:22:56. > :23:00.second. Now that is how long it will take, potentially, for the
:23:00. > :23:03.person in the car they are approaching to produce and to fire
:23:03. > :23:07.a weapon. The inquiry chairman will now have
:23:07. > :23:09.to decide whether the force used against Azelle Rodney was
:23:09. > :23:15.absolutely necessary. He will produce his report next
:23:15. > :23:20.year. At least nine girls have been
:23:20. > :23:24.killed and three others injured in an explosion in Afghanistan.
:23:24. > :23:29.A spokesperson for the governor of the Nangarhar province in the east
:23:29. > :23:34.said that the girls were collecting fire wood when one of them hit a
:23:34. > :23:39.landmine with an axe. The girls were said to have been aged between
:23:39. > :23:44.nine and 12. The population of Scotland has risen to its highest
:23:44. > :23:52.level. The ruls from the 2011 Census showed that the biggest rise
:23:52. > :23:55.was amongst those over 0, but also increases in those under safplt
:23:55. > :24:00.-- 15. Lorna, what do the figures tell us?
:24:00. > :24:06.Well, this is a snapshot of what life was like in Scotland on the
:24:06. > :24:09.27th of March, 2011. It throws up headline figures. The first being
:24:09. > :24:16.that after 30 years of Scotland's population being stagnant or
:24:16. > :24:20.declining, it is on the rise once again. Increasing by 233,000 to
:24:20. > :24:26.just under 5 .3 million, according to the estimates. That means that
:24:26. > :24:30.the population has increased by 5% between 20 2001 and 2011, the
:24:30. > :24:35.fastest growth rate between two sensus dates in the last century.
:24:35. > :24:41.It is also the first sensus when the number of people aged 65 and
:24:41. > :24:50.over was higher than the number aged under 15. An increase notable
:24:50. > :24:55.in people aged over 80, where the numbers have increased by 19%. Are
:24:55. > :24:59.they boring statistic? Well, they are important. They help plan where
:24:59. > :25:04.the public services are needed most. So what we know is that Scotland's
:25:04. > :25:10.population is growing older and it is increasing.
:25:10. > :25:14.Do we know why? As to the increasing, there is a couple of
:25:14. > :25:19.minor reasons, we found that out today, one is that there are more
:25:19. > :25:23.children under irthe age of five. There are also more births than
:25:23. > :25:27.deaths. You don't get the break down in the figures that you had
:25:27. > :25:31.for England and Wales, but because of earlier work, we know that the
:25:31. > :25:39.suggestion is that the vast majority of the population increase
:25:40. > :25:44.is due to migration. As to the ex ct -- exact breakdown of ethnicity
:25:44. > :25:46.and employment in Scotland, we will not find that out until the summer
:25:46. > :25:50.of next year. Thank you very much.
:25:50. > :25:54.The Tour de France winner and Olympic champion, Bradley Wiggins
:25:54. > :25:59.has been voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year. The Gold
:25:59. > :26:04.Medal winning help at that time leet, Jessica Ennis was the runner
:26:04. > :26:11.up and the US Open tennis champion, Andy Murray, came therd. More than
:26:11. > :26:17.1..5 million votes were cast last night. The five runner up got
:26:17. > :26:21.100,000 votes each, more than many previous winners.
:26:21. > :26:25.England's cricketers have won a historic victory, winning a Test
:26:25. > :26:29.Series in India for the first time in nearly 28 years. Centuries from
:26:29. > :26:34.Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell helped to secure the draw that they needed
:26:34. > :26:40.in the fourth and the final match in Nagpur to take the series 2-1.
:26:40. > :26:48.Alastair Cook said it was a special day for the team.
:26:48. > :26:53.Try, try, and try again. In India, England persevered, a slow march to
:26:53. > :26:57.history. However much the country changes, one thing remains. At home
:26:57. > :27:02.India's cricketers are expected to win. The only chance that they had
:27:02. > :27:09.of taking the Test was to grab the wickets on Monday morning. Ian Bell
:27:09. > :27:14.made the first 50 of of the series. Jonathan Trott went on and on. He
:27:14. > :27:20.was India's irritant. India were not amused. Trt Jonathan Trott
:27:20. > :27:23.thrives on this situation. At lunch England were nearly 250 runs ahead.
:27:23. > :27:32.Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott still together. There was not time for
:27:32. > :27:37.India to bowl England out again. India's tactic of beating England
:27:37. > :27:43.by spin unravelled. The overwhelming win in the first Test
:27:43. > :27:47.seemed like a dream. Ian Bell helped himself, but England were
:27:47. > :27:52.patient. They were hopeless against spin bowling at the start of the
:27:52. > :27:57.year. Was Kevin Pietersen at home in the dressing room again? It
:27:57. > :28:02.looked like it. Jonathan Trott fell for 143, there was time for Ian
:28:02. > :28:07.Bell to get to 100. Then the two teams agreed to a draw and the
:28:07. > :28:10.series went to England. The new captain had done what no England
:28:10. > :28:16.can't has managed for nearly 30 years.
:28:16. > :28:20.It has been an incredible tour. To end it like we did today, to
:28:20. > :28:24.convincingly bat out, it was a nervous dressing room, knowing how
:28:24. > :28:28.close we were to doing see so special, but to do it as convincing
:28:28. > :28:34.I -- convincingly as we did, it was incredible.
:28:34. > :28:39.This is the kind of result that careers are defined by.
:28:39. > :28:43.Now let's have a look at the weather. Louise is here. It is
:28:43. > :28:47.weather. Louise is here. It is brollies up, I'm afraid.
:28:47. > :28:52.Some of vus seen sunshine, but I suspect that the story is for --
:28:52. > :28:56.some of us have seen sunshine today, but I suspect that the showers will
:28:56. > :28:59.be becoming more widespread. So far the showers have been over North
:28:59. > :29:03.Wales, north-west England and stretching into the north-east of
:29:03. > :29:08.Scotland. There is a cluster of a shower
:29:08. > :29:12.cloud. The two weather fronts are straddled either side of northern
:29:12. > :29:16.Britain. If you don't have the showers it is grey and damp, but
:29:16. > :29:21.there are breaks into the central and the southern areas. You cling
:29:21. > :29:25.on to the best of the sunshine. Then the showers becoming more
:29:25. > :29:30.widespread. By the middle of the afternoon pushing into the south-
:29:30. > :29:35.west. Highs of 10 Celsius, but come showers could be sharp. A cluster
:29:35. > :29:39.of showers over Wales. More waiting out in the wings to push to the
:29:39. > :29:45.west and the east. For Northern Ireland, not a bad
:29:45. > :29:51.afternoon. About seven Celsius. Staying cloudy, but also dry. The
:29:51. > :29:55.same tie for the Great Glen. There are the showers into parts of
:29:55. > :29:59.Aberdeenshire and to the north-west of the Pennines. Some starting to
:29:59. > :30:03.migrate to the east. If you continue to see sunny spells in
:30:03. > :30:06.East Anglia and the London area, I suspect for the evening rush hour
:30:06. > :30:12.some of the showers could be frequent as they continue to drive
:30:12. > :30:17.to the west and the east. Accompanied by strong winds in the
:30:17. > :30:21.south-west, this at the -- they could be up to 50 miles an hour. In
:30:21. > :30:28.the evening, clearer skies to the west and in the Northern Ireland
:30:28. > :30:33.and in Scotland freeze ing fog and icy surfaces.
:30:33. > :30:37.If the fog lingers that will affect the temperatures, further western
:30:37. > :30:43.areas seeing the best of the brightness. A quiet day on Tuesday.
:30:43. > :30:49.More cloud into the south-east than today. Highs of five to 10 Celsius,
:30:49. > :30:54.but all change for Wednesday. More wet and windy weather arriving.
:30:54. > :30:57.Some significant rainfall likely. The potential may be for up to 30
:30:57. > :31:04.millimetres of rain into the south- west. That is pushing to the north
:31:04. > :31:11.and the east. A wet day in prospect. The highs looking about five to 12
:31:11. > :31:13.Celsius. There are more details on the weather online or join me live
