:01:17. > :01:21.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. Plans to change
:01:21. > :01:24.the pension system will be announced this afternoon. Ministers
:01:24. > :01:27.want to introduce a flat-rate state pension, set at �144 a week, which
:01:27. > :01:34.will replace the basic pension of �107 - and the various means-tested
:01:34. > :01:37.add-ons. The Government says three quarters of a million women will be
:01:37. > :01:41.better off but six million people will need to pay more national
:01:41. > :01:50.insurance to pay for it. With the details, here's our chief economics
:01:51. > :01:55.correspondent. For Today's workers, the future generations of
:01:55. > :02:00.pensioners, these reforms are designed to simplify and often
:02:00. > :02:04.baffling state pension system. The aim is to let people know precisely
:02:04. > :02:10.what they can expect. Ministers out meeting supermarket workers this
:02:10. > :02:14.morning argue that people will find it easier to plan for retirement if
:02:14. > :02:18.there is a guarantee of a decent state pension. The idea is for
:02:18. > :02:22.people at work today, they know that they will get an amount from
:02:22. > :02:28.the Government which will be a basic amount to live on. Where they
:02:28. > :02:33.have a workplace pension, they can save with confidence. Right now,
:02:33. > :02:38.the basic state pension is around �107 a week for a single person. On
:02:38. > :02:42.top of that, many workers qualify for a second state pension. The
:02:42. > :02:48.less well-off can apply for the means-tested pension credit. That
:02:49. > :02:54.ensures a minimum pension income of �143 a week. The gunman was to
:02:54. > :03:00.bring in an automatic minimum of �144 in today's money from 2017
:03:00. > :03:06.with few p -- fewer people means tested. The self-employed will get
:03:06. > :03:09.a higher pension as well women who have spent time out of the
:03:09. > :03:14.workplace. Millions of people in work will be affected by the
:03:14. > :03:18.changes will stop the Government does not want any additional public
:03:18. > :03:24.spending. Some will be better off in a retirement but others will not
:03:24. > :03:28.be so happy with the outcome. are a group of people, part way
:03:28. > :03:34.through their Korea, earning above average earnings, he would have
:03:34. > :03:38.expected to go on and build up the state pension bigger than �144 a
:03:38. > :03:43.week. They will not get that. Millions of public sector workers
:03:43. > :03:47.and those in final salary schemes will have to pay higher national
:03:47. > :03:52.insurance contributions. Existing pensioners and those who retire
:03:52. > :03:58.before the spring of 2017 will not be included in the changes. Some
:03:58. > :04:01.like Barry are not happy. If we are introducing a new pension, everyone
:04:01. > :04:10.should start and a level playing field. We should all start on the
:04:10. > :04:13.minimum pension figure. We should all be on the same level. Labour
:04:13. > :04:19.says the Government has delayed introducing the plans by a year and
:04:19. > :04:24.has called for a detailed breakdown of the winners and losers. How
:04:24. > :04:30.significant will these pension changes be? These are really big
:04:30. > :04:37.changes to the pensions landscape. A very complex system. Most people
:04:37. > :04:40.in work to not understand what they will be entitled to. The idea is
:04:40. > :04:44.that if you work long enough, you will basically be guaranteed a
:04:44. > :04:49.simple state pension and you will not have other things to worry
:04:49. > :04:54.about. It will mean an end to means testing for many pensioners,
:04:54. > :04:58.filling in complicated forms. Many do not get what they are entitled
:04:58. > :05:04.to. You mention the winners and losers. 6 million people need to
:05:04. > :05:07.pay extra national insurance. Will that be a difficult issue? Unions
:05:07. > :05:13.representing public sector workers have already started complaining
:05:13. > :05:18.about that. 6 million people are in secure schemes, known as final-
:05:18. > :05:23.salary, and they get an incentive. Higher national insurance for
:05:23. > :05:28.employers and employees. They paid 1.4% more. They will get a better
:05:28. > :05:33.state pension at the end of it. When it is introduced, they will
:05:33. > :05:36.probably fill a bit of pain in terms of higher contributions.

:09:15. > :09:20.difficult conditions. Let's hear from Danny Savage in North
:09:20. > :09:26.Yorkshire. As you can see, there is a good covering of snow here. It
:09:26. > :09:30.fell for a couple of hours during the morning. It has stopped and the
:09:30. > :09:34.sunshine is out. You are not be surprised to hear that when it was
:09:34. > :09:40.snowing it caused the usual problems. It has been talked about
:09:40. > :09:47.for days. This morning, the snow arrived. The first heavy falls were
:09:47. > :09:52.over the hills of the North. Traffic was soon down to one lane
:09:52. > :09:57.on the A66. Critters were at clearing what they could on the
:09:57. > :10:01.ribbon of road running across the bleak moors. Up on the border
:10:01. > :10:06.between Cumbria and County Durham, the main job is to keep this busy
:10:06. > :10:11.road open, linking east and west. There has not been a huge amount of
:10:11. > :10:15.snow yet but it has been causing problems. Police were quickly on
:10:16. > :10:19.the scene of this accident, where one vehicle appeared to have spun
:10:19. > :10:22.out of control. There has not been widespread disruption yet but
:10:22. > :10:28.motoring organisations are stressing that drivers should be
:10:28. > :10:35.extra careful in these conditions. It only takes a small amount to
:10:35. > :10:39.cause a problem. It may be the ice underneath which is causing the
:10:39. > :10:43.problem - worse than a good depth of snow. Heavy snow has fallen
:10:43. > :10:49.elsewhere. This was the scene in Leicestershire, with people trying
:10:49. > :10:54.to carry on as normal. In Cambridge, getting around on foot and bicycle
:10:54. > :11:01.suddenly became more problematic. As ever, some took advantage of the
:11:01. > :11:05.winter conditions. Sledges were out in County Durham. There is more
:11:05. > :11:11.snow forecast today. Whilst it may look pretty, the messages to be
:11:11. > :11:15.careful if you want to avoid the attention of the emergency services.
:11:15. > :11:20.A couple of places we did not get to in that report, there were bad
:11:20. > :11:25.traffic conditions in Aberdeen this morning caused by icy weather. In
:11:25. > :11:30.the last hour, there have been reports of snow falling in Central
:11:30. > :11:35.London. The emphasis of the problem goes east into North Yorkshire this
:11:35. > :11:43.afternoon. A fall weather forecast at the end of the bulletin with the
:11:43. > :11:50.very latest. Snow is still falling in Leicestershire. Is it likely to
:11:50. > :11:55.get better or worse? I am afraid it is set to get worse. We have
:11:55. > :12:01.already had about an inch of snow, which is still falling. That will
:12:01. > :12:06.continue this afternoon and into this evening. You can see how much
:12:06. > :12:12.snow we have had. Chatting to businesses, all mines are focusing
:12:13. > :12:17.on the evening commute home. Conditions will get worse. People
:12:17. > :12:21.need to figure out when the best time is to go home. The rush-hour
:12:21. > :12:25.will be difficult and hazardous because of the conditions. Some
:12:25. > :12:32.people have told me they have decided the journeys they are
:12:32. > :12:36.planning to take, they have decided they will not be making them at all.
:12:36. > :12:40.There will be a full weather forecast at the end of the
:12:40. > :12:44.programme. French air strikes have been continuing in Mali. Britain
:12:44. > :12:50.has said it will offer support to the French mission. David Cameron
:12:50. > :12:57.has said there will be no Army boots on the ground. The first RAF
:12:57. > :13:03.plane has taken off for Mali. Our diplomatic correspondent reports.
:13:03. > :13:11.Last night, in France, this was an RAF plane being loaded with French
:13:11. > :13:17.military equipment for their offensive in Mali. The C-17 has
:13:17. > :13:25.unique capability in terms of load and left. It says a lot about our
:13:25. > :13:29.strategic abilities. We can move large loads very quickly to decide
:13:29. > :13:38.locations. Of the two plains, one broke down and another is being
:13:38. > :13:42.made ready. They do not want direct involvement in fighting on the
:13:42. > :13:48.ground. France is a strong ally and friend but what is being done in
:13:48. > :13:53.Mali is in our interests. There is a very dangerous Islamist regime
:13:53. > :13:58.ING control in the Noss of the country. It was threatening the
:13:58. > :14:06.south of the country and we should support the action. We were first
:14:06. > :14:09.out of the blocks in helping them. Why is France fighting in Mali? The
:14:09. > :14:14.governor of this former West colony appealed for help against rebels
:14:14. > :14:17.trying to seize control of the country. The rebels include Al-
:14:17. > :14:23.Qaeda elements. They are heavily armed and some are fighting for an
:14:23. > :14:30.Islamic state. Militants are swearing revenge on France. Mali is
:14:30. > :14:35.desperately poor. Parts are mineral rich. The imposition of Sharia law
:14:35. > :14:40.means a ban on music, tobacco and make-up. The French Cabinet is
:14:40. > :14:45.entirely focused on the crisis in Mali. The minister says military
:14:45. > :14:49.intervention has started well but his warning the job is not yet done.
:14:49. > :14:57.TRANSLATION: there is a difficult situation in the West where we have
:14:57. > :15:02.come across armed militants. The Mali Army was effective in the East
:15:02. > :15:06.on Friday. The Army is under intense rebel pressure. If the
:15:06. > :15:16.rebels were to win, Al-Qaeda and Islamic extremists would be in a
:15:16. > :15:17.
:15:17. > :15:22.much stronger position to launch Mark Doyle is with us now. What has
:15:22. > :15:25.been the impact of the French airstrikes on the rebel areas so
:15:26. > :15:30.far? Well, the impact of the airstrikes has been just that,
:15:30. > :15:36.really. They can attack from the air, they can attack buildings but
:15:36. > :15:40.they don't have the boots on the ground. So for example in the town
:15:40. > :15:45.of Gao, we were speaking to eyewitnesses there, that is about
:15:45. > :15:49.1,000 north-east of where I am speaking to you from, deep in the
:15:49. > :15:54.desert, there were attacks on Sunday and Islamists there were no
:15:54. > :15:57.longer so after the attacks. That is the pattern, but without the
:15:57. > :16:03.boots on the ground it is impossible to hold any of the
:16:03. > :16:06.places that they are attacking. The French are waiting for West African
:16:06. > :16:12.forces to support them in the operation.
:16:12. > :16:17.Thank you. Our top story: Plans to overhall
:16:17. > :16:22.the pension system with a single flat-rate from 2017 will be

:18:12. > :18:15.clearest indication yet that he wants a referendum on the UK's
:18:15. > :18:19.relationship with the rest of the European Union. The Prime Minister
:18:19. > :18:22.said a vote would take place once he had negotiated changes with the

:18:35. > :18:41.makes the speech about Europe later this month. What do you think that
:18:41. > :18:46.his message is likely to be? Well, the message today, seemed to be not
:18:46. > :18:50.to panic. Or to quote David Cameron more accurately from his early
:18:50. > :18:54.morning interviews, that there is in reason to be scared, to be
:18:54. > :18:59.frightened about the idea of having a referendum on the EU as Europe is
:18:59. > :19:05.changing. He said he was optimistic and confident he could renegotiate
:19:05. > :19:12.a better deal for the European Union, but it is difficult, for him
:19:12. > :19:17.to continue the Dad's Army analogy, as many are saying back to him, who
:19:17. > :19:21.do you think you are kidding? Many fear he is leading Britain to the
:19:21. > :19:26.exit door, which is why the Prime Minister began a series of
:19:26. > :19:31.telephone calls to EU leaders to allay their concerns, but we simply
:19:31. > :19:35.do not know what will happen.if the British people vote "no". We don't
:19:35. > :19:40.know, other EU leaders don't know, maybe even David Cameron does not
:19:40. > :19:45.know. Thank you.
:19:45. > :19:49.Eight crew members have been rescued from a tug boat off the

:20:26. > :20:33.afternoon that will be on the seabed, but it does not have fuel

:20:47. > :20:50.defendantion coast, a tug boat was sinking with eight crew members on
:20:50. > :20:55.board. Lifeboats, Naval ships and a
:20:55. > :20:59.military high pressure were all sent to the rescue. With the crew
:20:59. > :21:05.safely off, attention turned to the half a metre long hull in the --
:21:05. > :21:09.hole in the side of the vessel. It happened broadside, and it put
:21:09. > :21:13.really a bad gash down the hull, low in the water.
:21:14. > :21:19.The tug on the right, here, is now stable. It was pumped out for
:21:19. > :21:23.several hours. The authorities had feared a major
:21:23. > :21:27.pollution incident, if she had sunk with over 200 tonnes of diesel on
:21:27. > :21:32.board, but it seems that the risk has passed.
:21:32. > :21:38.Nearby, a more dramatic sight, this is the vessel that the tug had been
:21:38. > :21:42.towing. She collided with it somehow. Slowly, sinking this lunch
:21:42. > :21:46.time, now but because she is empty, the authorities say she is not a
:21:46. > :21:50.danger. The hull was being taken off for
:21:50. > :21:54.scrap, I assume. So there is no risk of pollution from that vessel.
:21:54. > :21:58.That was much less of a concern if you like.
:21:58. > :22:03.The water here is thought to be deep enough for the vessel to sink
:22:03. > :22:09.to the seabed without affecting other ships. Meanwhile, the salvage
:22:09. > :22:15.crews are still assessing the tug to work out how she can be repaired.
:22:15. > :22:19.So, despite the dramatic pictures, the message is that there is relief
:22:19. > :22:25.that this seems to be under control. Thank you.
:22:25. > :22:28.Now, after the success of the Olympic Games makers at London 2012.
:22:28. > :22:32.The organisers of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow are launching an
:22:32. > :22:37.appeal for volunteers. They are hoping to recruit 15,000 people in
:22:37. > :22:43.what could be the biggest peacetime deployment for a common cause in
:22:43. > :22:46.Scotland's history. Lorna Gordon joins us from Glasgow.
:22:46. > :22:52.For the Commonwealth Games to be a success, lots of things have to
:22:52. > :22:56.happen to a precise timetable. The venues, including the Sir Chris Hoy
:22:56. > :23:00.velodrome here in the East End of Glasgow are well on track, well on
:23:00. > :23:08.time. Today the formal application process opened for those interested
:23:08. > :23:12.in becoming volunteers. The next name to call out... It is
:23:12. > :23:17.not perhaps the usual Monday morning greeting, the commuters
:23:17. > :23:24.heading to work through one of Glasgow's busy train stations a
:23:25. > :23:29.friendly smile and worts of encouragement from Games volunteers.
:23:29. > :23:33.Glasgow needs thousands of people like these to help out in the 2014
:23:33. > :23:35.Games. We have had lots of interest from
:23:35. > :23:40.Scotland, also from England and Wales and Northern Ireland and
:23:40. > :23:43.further afield, even places like India. We want people to have great
:23:43. > :23:49.communication skills. It is all about friendly people and Glasgow
:23:49. > :23:54.is such a friendly place. The games makers, the volunteers
:23:54. > :23:57.were a huge success at the London Olympics. Helping spectators and
:23:57. > :24:01.competitors like Anthony Joshua, who believes that they showed what
:24:01. > :24:06.a difference the volunteers can make at sporting events.
:24:06. > :24:09.They were interactive. They smiled, helped with everything, there was
:24:09. > :24:14.support getting to the venue and back.
:24:14. > :24:19.Did it make a difference? Yes. They were doing lots of work behind the
:24:19. > :24:23.scenes. I'm sure they made a huge impact.
:24:23. > :24:26.50,000 people have registered interests in volunteering at the
:24:26. > :24:33.Commonwealth Games, but today the applications itself opened and
:24:33. > :24:40.interest is likely to be high. I enjoy meeting people. I like to
:24:40. > :24:43.keep the pride in Glasgow. A feel-good feeling in a city which
:24:43. > :24:53.already has a reputation for being friendly. Hopefully a taste of what
:24:53. > :24:57.is to come when the Games get under way in 2014. That is Collide, the
:24:57. > :25:01.Commonwealth Games mascot for 2014. As to the applications? Well the
:25:01. > :25:08.online process opened at 7.00am. Already more than 5,000 people have
:25:08. > :25:13.applied. The golfer, Rory McIlroy is set to
:25:13. > :25:17.become one of the highest paired sports stars in the world when he
:25:17. > :25:22.is unveiled at Nike's new brand ambassador. The deal is reported to
:25:23. > :25:28.be worth about �77 million. Andy Swiss has more on this.
:25:28. > :25:33.At just 23, he is the man who has it all. Rory McIlroy, bags of
:25:33. > :25:39.talent, thousands of fans and now millions and millions of pounds.
:25:40. > :25:43.�77 million, in fact, in a deal with Nike to turn one of the
:25:43. > :25:49.world's youngest sports stars into one of its richest.
:25:49. > :25:53.It is a dream deal. You walk forward, stay healthy and do what
:25:53. > :26:00.he does best, that is playing golf. If he does it well there could be
:26:00. > :26:07.even more big dreams. The dream pushes Rory McIlroy into
:26:07. > :26:13.sports Super League. The boxer, Floyd may weather earned
:26:13. > :26:16.�55 million. Tiger Woods earned �38 million, and David Beckham earned
:26:16. > :26:21.�29 million, but for Nike there will be huge benefits. The brand
:26:21. > :26:25.had a tough few years, first with damaging allegations about Tiger
:26:25. > :26:31.Woods' private life and then about another client, Lance Armstrong,
:26:31. > :26:35.who they have since dropped..$$NEWLINE Nike hope that
:26:35. > :26:38.Rory McIlroy's clean-cut image will add to the sporting appeal.
:26:38. > :26:43.This is where the sports people broaden themselves out. David
:26:44. > :26:48.Beckham is the best example. We take a football player, perhaps no
:26:48. > :26:51.longer the football player he was but he is a very well rounded
:26:51. > :26:57.person. They are looking at Rory McIlroy,
:26:57. > :27:01.he seems to have the lifestyle to match and they are taking a punt on
:27:01. > :27:07.it. If has been some journey for Rory McIlroy, from childhood
:27:07. > :27:12.project ijy to global superstar, now his talent has a bank balance
:27:12. > :27:16.to match. It has been a great night for
:27:16. > :27:20.British talent at the Golden Globes Awards. Adele won for the theme
:27:20. > :27:25.tune of Skyfall. The stars love the Golden Globes
:27:25. > :27:29.Awards. They are prestigious but more relaxed than the Oscars. More
:27:29. > :27:34.of a party atmosphere. A good chance to see which films have the
:27:34. > :27:39.buzz about them. Which have momentum as we build up to the
:27:39. > :27:42.Academy Awards in six weeks' type. There was a buzz about Les
:27:42. > :27:48.Miserables. Directed by Tom Hooper it was a big
:27:48. > :27:56.winner of the evening. Taking benefit musical and Best Comedy and
:27:56. > :28:01.Best Actor and Best Actress. Les Miserables... Les Miserables is
:28:01. > :28:05.a project of passion. It took a lot of courage to make it.
:28:05. > :28:09.The biggest surprise, and the biggest applause of the evening
:28:09. > :28:13.went to Bill Clinton who introduced Lincoln, the film with the most
:28:13. > :28:18.nominations of the night. The Steven Spielberg biopic, had been
:28:18. > :28:21.widely tipped for glory. In the end it only picked up one
:28:21. > :28:26.award. And the award goes to Daniel Day-
:28:27. > :28:33.Lewis. Are you sure there is room for
:28:33. > :28:37.another ex-President on this stage? Well if you thought that was
:28:37. > :28:42.showing off, Her Majesty the Queen of England is about to parachute in
:28:42. > :28:49.to make a last-minute pitch for Skyfall! The Bond film was
:28:49. > :28:57.nominated in one category, benefit Original Song.
:28:57. > :29:03.Music and lyrics by Adele and Paul Epworth. Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
:29:03. > :29:07.Honestly, I have come out for a night out with my friend, Ida, we
:29:07. > :29:11.are new mums. I was not expecting this. Thank you very much.
:29:11. > :29:15.In the TV drama category, Dame Judi Dench won for Best Actor in
:29:15. > :29:21.Homeland. Just before I go I want to dedicate
:29:21. > :29:24.this to my mum. Who I know is out there tonight looking down on me,
:29:24. > :29:30.bursting with pride and telling everyone up there all around her
:29:30. > :29:35.how well her son is doing in acting. The other huge hit of the night was
:29:35. > :29:40.Argo. Taking Best Drama and winning Ben Affleck Best Director. It is
:29:41. > :29:45.unusual for a director to win a Golden Globes, and not be nominated
:29:45. > :29:47.for an Oscar, but that is Hollywood. Now, let's get the full weather
:29:47. > :29:50.forecast. forecast.
:29:50. > :29:55.Phil is here. Part of the secret of making the
:29:55. > :30:01.weather palatable is wearing the right gear, these guys have it
:30:01. > :30:05.sussed here. They will not care about the amber warning but some of
:30:05. > :30:09.you should. Especially to the eastern side of the British Isles.
:30:09. > :30:14.There is a wee bit of the first lines of snow there, but this
:30:14. > :30:19.feature is more significant, bringing rain, sleet and snow it is
:30:19. > :30:24.to the eastern side of England that there are major concerns.
:30:24. > :30:29.There could be up to five to 10 centimetres in that area, but to
:30:29. > :30:36.the west, a different story. The snow is confined to the high ground
:30:36. > :30:41.in Wales. A mixture of sunny spells and showers. The temperatures six
:30:41. > :30:45.to seven Celsius. In Northern Ireland, you are going to see more
:30:45. > :30:49.in the way of sunshine. In the north and the east, more rain. In
:30:49. > :30:54.the west of Scotland faring well but the north-east picking up on
:30:54. > :30:59.the top end of the weather front. To the south of the borders, south
:30:59. > :31:06.of Newcastle, to the Lincolnshire Wolds, the East Midlands, up to
:31:06. > :31:11.five to 10 centimetres lib real. As a rough rule of thumb south of
:31:11. > :31:16.London it is watery rather than wintry. And when you thought it was
:31:17. > :31:21.going to pile through, the southern portion does but brings an area of
:31:22. > :31:26.rain through the M25 zone down to Kent, how much? Two to five
:31:26. > :31:31.centimetres. If you miss it this afternoon you may get it overnight.
:31:31. > :31:35.Then as that pulls away, the skies clear into a cold night. A
:31:35. > :31:39.widespread frost here with ice. Where all of the surfaces have been
:31:39. > :31:46.wet, bay that in mind as we start the new day -- bare.
:31:46. > :31:50.Snow and ice may not be a problem over the next due -- few hours but
:31:50. > :31:54.over the next few days, you will have to take care.
:31:54. > :31:58.Leaden skies to the east. Brighter conditions for Northern Ireland,
:31:58. > :32:02.western Scotland Wales and the southern counties. A supply of snow
:32:02. > :32:07.showers getting in. Look at the temperature professional. That is
