clashes with David Cameron over controversial changes to childcare.

He says he's not convinced by government plans to allow a nursery

staff and childminders to look after more children. I know how much any

parent listening to this programme will really really care that we get

this right in terms of improving both affordability of childcare

which we must do, but also the quality. We will ask what this could

mean for other government plans going forward and also this

lunchtime, Castro, the man charged with imprisoning and sexually

abusing three women in Cleveland is about to appear in court. A woman

and child were held captive at his home for over a decade. Police

released recordings of the moment regulator warns demand on A&E

departments in parts of England are unsustainable. David Moyes is

expected to be confirmed as the new manager of Manchester United. And

how it's taken 200 years and 2000 miles to bring one of Britain's

greatest art collections home but Hello. Good afternoon. Welcome to

the BBC News at One. The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, has

attacked collision plans to relax rules on how many children nursery

staff and child minders can look after. His comments caused

confusion over the Government's flagship oi policy. The

Government's been defending plans to change childcare rules in

England. Under the proposals, the ratio would increase and carers

able to look after more children. So, it's the day after the Queen

speech. The couple at the top of the coalition have unveiled the

plan for the year ahead but the kids are causing problems.

I am going to a childcare centre, you can ask me about the policy

then. I will do my weekly... REPORTER: So you are not blocking

plans for cheaper childcare? So, Nick Clegg supports affordable

childcare but now we learn that the Deputy Prime Minister has been

raising concerns with David Cameron for weeks. He is unconvince bad the

plans to let nurseries look after more Children In Need. The men

unveiled big changes. They are looking at increasing the ratio.

One person to care for five children under the age of two two.

Aifpled at getting trusts down. The Conservative minister in charge of

childcare, wants to push ahead. The ratios are not compulsory, this

is about professionals in the sector being able to exercise their

judgment and to clifr deliver an affordable, high-quality service to

parents. The row eis significant as

childcare is not a sideline issue for the coalition. It is a big deal.

They want to get costs down and help gets parents, mostly mums, moo

work. Now we have a childcare policy,

rejected by parents, rejected by nursery providers and rejected by

the Government's own experts. is shaping up to be quite a row.

Countries like France and Denmark do it with loser rules but Nick

Clegg says that the evidence does not convince them that the changes

lead to cheaper and safer childcare. Our Political Correspondent is in

Westminster. This is a big deal. What does it tell us about the

coalition and these and other plans going forward? Well, this is a

nose-to-nose, toe -toe divide. With neeer side backing down. Nick Clegg

going on the airwaves to publicly fill it. His own proposals for

childcare ratios, why? He does not think it would work nor that it is

popular, but Liz Trust, to be summoned to the Commons to explain

what is going on, far from entering make and cowed like a scolded

Spaniel, told off by a master, to go in there and basically give both

barrels to Nick Clegg's argument, to say that the reason that the

childcare costs are the highest in Europe, is that the childcare

ratios are the tightest. For Downing Street to row ein behind

her. Why it is significant is not that it is a tiff, a rift within

the coalition it is that childcare is an issue that is profoundly

important. It is one of the main pressure points on family budgets.

In other words it is critical to the squeezed middle. That is why

the coalition absolutely cannot afford to get this wrong, which is

why, I suspect, that this is proving a difficult divide.

Thank you very much. In the next few minutes a man is to

I appear in court in Cleveland, Ohio in the United States, charged

with kidnapping and raping three women held captive in his house for

a decade. The prosecutors decided no to bring charges against the two

brothers, saying that there was no evidence against them. Laura is

outside of the Courtroom to bring us up-to-date.

In 25 minute's time Ariel Castro will appear in the court to be

charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape.

That event will be carried live on television. The first chance to see

Ariel Castro. He will enter a plea. This morning, Gina DeJesus and

Amanda Berry are waking up in their own homes for the first time in a

decade. Michele Knight is in hospital where her condition is

described as good. Ariel Castro was arrested on Monday,

together two brothers. Investigators now say that the

brothers have no case to answer. The focus is squarely on Ariel

Castro. Ariel Castro is to appear before a judge in a few hours' time.

He faces four counts of kidnapping, four not three, because of the

child involved. Three counts of rape. His two brothers are not

being charged. There is no evidence that these two

individuals had any involvement in the commission of the crimes

committed against Michelle, Gina and Amanda and the minor child.

The house where the women were held is silent now, but a newly-released

police recording, captures the moment of their dramatic rescue.

We've found them. We've found them. We have a female with a young child

with her. Make it two. We also have a Michele Knight in the house.

Yesterday two families and communities celebrated the return

of long-lost daughters. The parents of Gina DeJesus never gave up hope,

holding vigils every year, the most recent two weeks ago.

I'm the won that had the heart and soul to fight to see this day.

Cos I knew my daughter was out there alive.

The victims are all apparently in good health, but their ordeal was

long and will have taken its toll. The full, harrowing picture of what

they experienced on the house on Seymour Avenue is only now

beginning to emerge. And those disturbing details about

what went on in the house are beginning to emerge. The New York

Times is reporting that on the anniversary of the day on which the

women were abducted that Ariel Castro would allegedly bake them a

birth day cake. Emergency emissions through A&E are

out of control in some parts of the country, that is accord fog David

Prior, the head of the health service regulator for England. He

said there was no guarantee like that at Staffordshire hospital

could be prevented in the future. The pressure on A&E Department

departments across the NHS have been growing. Now David Prior, head

of the English health service regulator, the Care Quality

Commission says that merge emissions are out of control in

large parts of the country, rising at an unsustainable rate. He said

that another health scandal could not be ruled out.

There are no guarantees. We cannot give the public a cast - iron

guarantee that there will never be another Mid Staffs.

David Prior is not the first health expert to point to the pressures in

emergency care. Nurse es leaders are sounded similar warnings.

We are heart fpbed that David Prior, the Government's own regulator has

come out so explicitly to say what we have been saying. This system is

under a huge strain. It is manifested especially in A&E

departments. I am sorry to say it is older people especially that are

struggling and suffering. A number of different factors have

come together to pile on the pressure on A&E departments. An

ageing population meaning more older epeople are admitted. The NHS,

111 urgent care helpline is funneling more patients to A&E, but

the pressures have been building for months, if not years. In

England, alone, an extra 4 million people are year are using the

emergency services compared to 2004. Now today the A&E is promising

extra help and a review of -- is underway as to how this is working,

but solutions are long-term, and many A&E departments are struggling

now. A former Sussex police sergeant has

been jailed for ten months for trying to sell a story to the Sun

Newspaper. James Bose was accused of trying to pass on information to

celebrities. The 30-year-old admitted misconduct

in a public office last month after being charged by detectives from

Operation Elveden. The investigation into alleged police

corruption. Senior probation officers have

accused the Government of taking risks with public safety by

pressing ahead with an overhall of measures to rehabilitate offenders.

Private groups and charities would supervise for ex-offenders for up

to a year after leaving jail. The Justice Secretary is on a mission.

He has come to the office of the drug support group, RAPt, to

explain his plans. Staff at RAPt are skilled at helping offenders

stay off drugs and find a job or training. The kind of

rehabilitation work that Chris Grayling wants to see more of.

Under his plans prisoners will receive support and supervision for

up to 12 months on release. That means extra monitoring for 65,000

offenders a year. The objective, to stop prisoners committing crimes

when they are let out. I am not expecting a sudden drop-

off, I expect an aim to see a steady step by step reduction, year

by year. The Government's reforms will be in

place by 2015. An ambition programme with no extra money for

it. Private firms and voluntary groups to be paid, according to how

many offenders under their supervision steer clear of crime.

Staff in the field welcome the idea of this programme, but there are

doubts of whether a system of paying companies in they cut re-

offending will work. Payment by results is untried and

untested in the community where the supervision of offenders is

concerned. There is the belief from the

Secretary of State that this will make a difference but we don't have

any hard evidence. The Government wants the

rehabilitation process to begin in prison. Almost half of inmates

commit near ciel within a year of being let out. The numbers are

higher for those on short sentences. The newers -- measures will be

judged a success if more offenders turn their lives around and never

have to return through the prison gates again.

The Everton manager, David Moyes, is spected to be confirmed as the

new manager of Manchester United. Replacing Sir Alex Ferguson who

announced his retirement yesterday. His first task may be to sort out

the situation with Wayne Rooney. Dan Roan is at Old Trafford for

with us more. Well, the arrival of David Moyes

here does appear to have been something of a done deal. The

contract expires at the end of the season. Although the two clubs are

talking, therefore it appears a formality. He has won plaudits

during his 11 years at Goodison Park for forging a sense of

togetherness on limited budgets. He eis seen as a man who couldtown the

traditions laid down by Sir Alex Ferguson, but in trying to emulate

the great manager, is surely one of the greatest challenges any new

boss has ever faced. Time for a change. Replacing the

irreplaceable is the task for David Moyes, to take over from Sir Alex

Ferguson at Old Trafford, the hand overrover expected to be confirmed

soon. Having announced the retirement yesterday afternoon it

is understood he helped hand 46 pick his successor, but David Moyes

unproven at the top. Can he maintain his grip on the English

game? I thought that they would have gone for somebody who had a

track record with a bigger including in -- club in the

Champions League in winning titles, but if there is a man that did not

fit that category, then David Moyes is the perfect choice.

David Moyes enjoyed a 19-year long playing career. Then becoming the

manager of Preston. At Everton's silverware, that was

elusive and the United fans were divided.

There is a mutual respect for Sir Alex Ferguson and David Moyes.

not putting a downer on David Moyes but I don't think is the right man

for the job. David Moyes managed Wayne Rooney. One task will be to

hang on to him as it emerged that the striker asked to leave Old

Trafford two weeks' ago. David Moyes proved he can stand up to the

game's most successful manager, now he must try to emulate him, to be a

worthy successor in the hot seat. These are exciting times at Old

Trafford. There are growing rumours that Cristiano Ronaldo could be set

for a return here to Manchester United.

As for David Moyes, will this prove a poisoned chalice? Or a wonderful

opportunity? We will have to wait mounting political row over proposed

changes to childcare. The Deputy Prime Minister says he is

unconvinced by proposals to allow nursery staff and childminders to

look after more children. And still to come. The Arctic Convoys. 70

years on, their bravery is energetically modified wheat could

be extended. Three London clubs going for two places in the

Norfolk today to open an exhibition that will allow the public to see a

priceless collection of old masters that left Britain for Russia more

than 200 years ago. The paintings were sold by the family of the

original owner, Britain's first prime minister Sir Robert Walpole,

to cover his grandson's huge gambling debts. Our Moscow

Correspondent Daniel Sandford has followed their journey. Seen across

the melting river, just one month ago, one of the most important

museums in the world, in Saint Petersburg. And inside, being

carefully wrapped for travel, a priceless set of old masters. Among

them, the head of a Franciscan monk. Packed in these crates is part of a

great collection of art ever to leave British saws that shores, and

for four months only, it heading back to its original home. After a

journey of 2000 miles, the paintings arrived at Howton Hall a fortnight

ago and were originally collected by Britain's first prime minister, Sir

Robert Walpole, who built the house for them. But after his death, a

gambling grandson led to the pictures being sold. The buyer was

the Russian Empress Catherine the great who shipped the whole

collection to Saint Petersburg and it took two centuries and the

enthusiasm of art historians to return the paintings to their

original walls. We are so used to seeing art works in galleries and

museums. We forget that works of art were meant to be admired, to be

cherished, in the environment of people's homes. The house is like a

time capsule. Some rooms have been left exactly as they were in the

late 18th century. And this summer, for the first time in over 200

years, these paintings are back. From this powerful portrait of Pope

Clement IX, two Rembrandts touching picture of an old woman, some of the

best paintings of the 17th-century back for a short while where Sir

Robert Walpole once hung them, something his direct descendant told

me he relishes. The furniture is here. The sculptures, the original

materials, and a lot of the chairs, and putting the pictures back is the

last piece in the jigsaw. But once the summer is over, the paintings

will be packed up again and returned to Russia. A new player has entered

the market for showing sports on television. BT are to broadcast

exclusive Premier League football and Premiership Rugby from next

season. They've paid nearly �1 billion for the rights. So can the

new kid on the block compete with the likes of SKY? Our Technology

Correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones joins me now. It's a huge

investment. They obviously think it's going to be worth it. It's a

huge gamble, �1 billion, and they think it's important because

increasingly customers are getting everything, TV, broadband and phones

from one player. They need to be strong in them, too. They are

nowhere in TV if you look at the figures. Virgin Media has 3.7

million, and BT vision has just three quarters of a million but the

real worry for them is broadband, where it is currently having 6.3

million customers ahead of virgin, but look at SKY, already 4.3 million

customers, and BT needs to make sure they don't lose vital broadband

market and think sport is the way to do it. The competitors won't take

this sitting down. SKY are already aggressive about this. They are

saying, we have seen others off before, the likes of ITV Digital who

tried to come into the market, and didn't make an impact. They say BT

is throwing money against the wall but SKY has banned BT adverts from

sky sport which is being looked at at the regulator. Looking at this

closely, making sure there is no impact on their incredibly

successful business. Thank you. Figures obtained by the BBC have

revealed there have been hundreds of cases over the past four years when

hospitals in England made errors that should never have happened. The

mistakes included surgeons removing healthy organs, and forceps being

left inside patients after surgery. The figures show that although rare,

there have been more than 750 such incidents, known in the NHS as

"Never Events". Nicola Beckford reports.

Seven inch forceps left behind during an operation for a gall

bladder. Donna was in continual pain after her surgery but had no idea

why. When she went for a scan, it got even worse. I felt like I was

going to vomit, the pain was horrendous because it was acting

like a magnet, and the only way I could describe it, what insights

coming out on the outside. I can't understand how a mistake like that

could happen. "never events" are a category of medical incidents deemed

so serious they are never supposed to happen. Procedures like the

surgical check list are in place to make sure it's impossible but

despite this, Freedom of information requests revealed they have been 762

recorded cases in England since 2009. In the past four years, in

hospitals across England, there have been 222 reports of foreign objects

left inside patients, 214 cases of surgery on the wrong part of the

body, and 73 reports of feeding tubes being placed in patient's

lungs instead of their stomach. The care quality commission recently

described the standard of reporting as buyer of "never events" . Some

say more needs to be done to prevent them. Where is the follow-up at the

hospital where it happened on a regular occasion? People went in to

tell them, to educate them and the year after, the number of events is

falling. There's no point having a system where you just simply have

people repeat offenders with nothing being done about it. The NHS does

nine -- 5 million operations a year and those responsible states the

risk of a never event happening is tiny, one in 20,000, but they are

working to reduce this further. need to find out what has happened,

that the teamwork has not worked. Larger hospitals have 30 operating

theatres and is not across the whole trust but in a pocket or a

particular group of theatre is working to a different system. Donna

received a 6-figure sum as compensation but three years later,

she remained limited by constant pain, wishing her never event had

not happened. The supply route between Scotland and Russia where

vital during the Second World War but also cost the lives of thousands

of men. Arctic convoys between 1941 and 1945 had to negotiate storms,

ice floes and attacks from German forces. They often sailed from the

Scottish highlands and today veterans from the Royal Navy and

Merchant Navy have travelled back to hold a reunion. Robert Hall joins me

from the shores of Loch Ewe. indeed, this has to be one of the

most beautiful spots in Scotland, very peaceful on this spring

afternoon but if you had been here during the Second World War, this

anchorage would have been crowded with ships, travelled from the USA,

and other ports around the UK to assemble and begin the long and

dangerous journey from which sadly so many didn't return. Surrounded by

the beauty of a Highland landscape, they came here determined to reach

the spot which means so much. It may seem a lifetime ago, but every man

who wears the white beret of the Arctic convoys can still feel the

cold and fear which haunted those voyages around the top of the world.

We had what we called the great storm, waves almost the height of

tall high-rise flats. It was so bad, coming over that the boat was

smashed by the waves. Storms and enemies eager to target the 1400

vessels which made the trip. In the case of one convoy, only 11 out of

35 cargo ships reached port. On the clifftop above the wartime

anchorage, veterans and the families of man who made their last journey

here kept silence. Comrades in arms and 70 years on, new friends.

couldn't believe that I was not the only survivor. We were pleased to

meet up again and I've got a lot of stories to tell. The number of guys

who were lost, it was terrible. As Churchill said, it was the worst of

voyage of the world, wasn't it? Tomorrow, these men had home as the

poppies once more like bright in the sunshine. A Fellowship whose stories

are forever bound to this community. It's not just here in Scotland the

3000 who lost their lives and veterans honoured in Russia, too. On

HMS Belfast this afternoon, there will be a reception given by the

Russian government so that the two countries can share memories and

Russia can offer her thanks to a brotherhood, really, which was never

more obvious than when we stood on that headland earlier this morning.

Robert, thank you very much indeed. There's been a baby boom at Chester

Zoo. After ten years of trying unsuccessfully to breed black rhino,

scientists say they may have found the solution by carefully studying

rhino dung. They appear to have found the key to successful

reproduction. Now four calves have been produced in as many years and

another is due at the end of the month. Time for a look at the

strong gusty wind already today and we will see the wind strengthening

further across England and Wales. Already 60 mph around the coast of

Wales, and it will continue with lively gusts of wind, unseasonably

windy. It's also pretty wet. The radar sequence showing heavy rain

across Northern Ireland earlier and its continuing to push across much

of western England, Wales and southern Scotland and will continue

to spread further east accompanied by lively gusts, and they could be

travel problems on the ferries and bridges in particular this

afternoon. Sunny spells in the south-east and east Anglia and there

will be showered in northern Scotland. It could get up into the

teens. Thunderstorms possible in Northern Ireland giving a potential

for travel problems. It's pretty cold with a wet and windy weather

across northern England. Temperatures struggling in single

figures. It will stay windy and the wind is whipping up further across

southern England. A blustery end to the day. We will see some of the

rain tracking across the south-east but not much for the gardens. Rain

spreading north across Scotland, heavy downpours for Wales through

the night and still blustery although the wind will die down

through the night. Temperatures- 10 Celsius. Friday, a noticeable breeze

but it won't be as powerful as today. Some showers drifting from

west to East. Parts of southern Scotland, not too much in the way of

rain. Eastern England again, a bit of sunshine here, and temperatures

could climb up into the high teens. Elsewhere, the wind will be

lighter, 13-14, fairly typical. We can expect those temperatures this

weekend. The weather front bends right back around on itself and

brings another spell of wet weather from west to east during Saturday

and it will be breezy, and either side of it, some dry conditions in

the east at first, and some sunshine to end the day across the West.

Actually, many of us will start Sunday with sunshine but quickly

clouding over in the West as another bank of rain had its way in during

the course of the day. Sunshine gradually disappearing so the

weekend isn't a write-off totally, but not as glorious as last weekend.

I cool breeze blowing. Some sunshine, particularly in the West

on Saturday afternoon. Alex, thank you very much indeed. At 1.30pm, a

reminder of our main story this lunchtime. The political rift over
