:01:38. > :01:43.spending. �5 billion will be made through efficiency savings in the
:01:43. > :01:49.public sector including an end to automatic pay rises. There will be
:01:50. > :01:55.more cuts to Local Government spend spending, but other budgets are

:02:17. > :02:23.-- the economy is not growing as fast as they hoped. So today, they
:02:23. > :02:27.are announcing a further 11. . 5 billion of cuts. The Chancellor told
:02:27. > :02:34.MPs that �5 billion would be found through efficiency savings and there
:02:34. > :02:41.would be an end to automatic public sector pay rises. It is unfair to
:02:41. > :02:47.other parts of the other sectors that don't get it. We will end
:02:47. > :02:51.progression pay in the Civil Service and we are working to remove
:02:51. > :02:55.automatic pay rises for time served in our schools, NHS, prisons and
:02:55. > :03:01.police. He said the Treasury, Cabinet Office and Local Government
:03:01. > :03:04.would each be cut by 10%. But there was good news. I can tell you
:03:04. > :03:09.because of the savings we have made, we can help families with their
:03:09. > :03:16.bills. We will fund councils to freeze council tax for the next two
:03:17. > :03:23.years. There will be some extra cash to spend on infrastructure, but it
:03:23. > :03:31.will be lower than when the coalition came to power. Labour said
:03:31. > :03:35.it might borrow more to fund projects like this, but it would
:03:35. > :03:38.stick to the department departmental plans. They are telling us the
:03:38. > :03:42.economy is healing the Government, but things are getting worse for
:03:42. > :03:45.ordinary families. We need a fairer plan to get growth moving, living

:03:48. > :03:53.So far, Whitehall departments have delivered the cuts they have been

:04:04. > :04:08.Well, we will talk to Norman Smith who is in Westminster, but first
:04:08. > :04:12.Hugh Pym is here with me in the studio. He admitted this was going
:04:12. > :04:16.to be difficult to make the cuts. What caught your eye so far?
:04:16. > :04:22.number about 10% in terms of the departmental budgets for day-to-day
:04:22. > :04:27.spending, a 10% cut for this year 2015/16 is in line with what has
:04:27. > :04:32.happened or will have happened until then. Pain in certain areas, cuts
:04:32. > :04:37.being spelled out for culture, media and sport, but not as big cuts for
:04:37. > :04:41.museums and sport, but still cuts. Home Office down. Other departments
:04:41. > :04:46.down. One thing that caught my eye in terms of affecting hundreds of
:04:46. > :04:50.thousands of people is the end to automatic pay progression. In other
:04:50. > :04:55.words an extra pay rise each year for service in many areas of the
:04:55. > :04:57.public sector. He said he would extend that to the Civil Service
:04:57. > :05:01.next year and maybe health and police beyond that. We have seen
:05:01. > :05:06.threatened industrial action in the teaching world because of the end of
:05:06. > :05:09.local pay bargaining there. This could provoke further unrest in the
:05:09. > :05:14.public sectorment of Norman, what are the headlines so
:05:14. > :05:20.far? Well, Simon, what struck me although this is a just a 12 month
:05:20. > :05:25.spending round, it had the feel of a Budget with a series of tabloid Hine
:05:25. > :05:30.grabbing measures. We have got more money for the intelligence services
:05:30. > :05:35.and an extension to the council tax freeze. The battlefield of Waterloo
:05:35. > :05:38.is to be rend owe vaitds in time for the 200th anniversary. This was a
:05:38. > :05:43.political moment. Yes, it was about clawing back money, but it was also
:05:43. > :05:47.an attempt to position the coalition ahead of the next election. What we
:05:47. > :05:52.have seen is both Labour and the coalition almost sort of powering
:05:52. > :05:56.and blocking each other as they make moves. So, George Osborne announces
:05:56. > :06:00.�11. 5 billion worth of cuts. Ed Balls, says we will accept those.
:06:00. > :06:04.George Osborne says he is looking at a cap on welfare spending and Ed
:06:04. > :06:09.Balls says he will look at those two. What it means is both sides are
:06:09. > :06:12.moving closer and closer together in the run-up to the next election.
:06:12. > :06:17.Norman, thank you very much. There is more on the Spending Review on

:06:49. > :06:58.Steve Rosen burg. If he is where they say he is, where is he going to
:06:58. > :07:02.go? It is unclear. It is unclear whether he is actually here because
:07:02. > :07:08.ever since he reportedly arrived here on Sunday, no one has actually
:07:08. > :07:13.seen him. President Putin said he is in a transit zone and is free to go
:07:13. > :07:19.at any moment. The question is, can he really do that because some
:07:19. > :07:24.Russian media reports were suggesting that Edward Snowden is
:07:24. > :07:28.stuck now and because his American passport has been annulled he cannot
:07:28. > :07:32.buy a ticket to his onward destination. The Americans are
:07:32. > :07:38.trying to persuade the Russians to expel him. The Russians are saying,
:07:38. > :07:42." Sorry, no can do. There is no extradition treaty between our
:07:42. > :07:47.countries." If he is here, the longer he stays here, the bigger the
:07:47. > :07:50.chance his secrets could fall into Russian hands.
:07:50. > :07:55.The Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has lost the leadership
:07:55. > :08:01.election in the Labour Party and is leaving politics. She was defeated
:08:01. > :08:11.by Kevin Rudd. Julia Gillard called the ballot to end uncertainty about
:08:11. > :08:13.
:08:13. > :08:17.For weeks, there had been intense speculation that Australia's first
:08:17. > :08:22.female Prime Minister would face yet another challenge to her position as
:08:22. > :08:27.the Labour Party leader. Her arch rival, Kevin Rudd, the man she had
:08:27. > :08:34.ousted as Prime Minister three years ago, believing the time was right
:08:34. > :08:39.for revenge. The truth is, many, many MPs have requested me for a
:08:39. > :08:44.long time to contest the leadership of the party because of the
:08:44. > :08:49.circumstances we now face. A few hours ago, the returning officer for
:08:49. > :08:55.the Labour Party vote confirmed that Mr Rudd's judgement had been right.
:08:55. > :09:01.We have just conducted the ballot. There was a spill for position of
:09:01. > :09:06.leadership. I can announce the result. It is Kevin Rudd 57 votes,
:09:07. > :09:10.Julia Gillard 45 votes. The move against Julia Gillard Julia
:09:10. > :09:15.Gillard came as opinion polls indicated the Labour Party under her
:09:15. > :09:20.leadership would be defeated in elections due in September. And now,
:09:20. > :09:27.she is stepping down. Kevin Rudd has been elected as leader of the
:09:27. > :09:30.Parliamentary Labour Party. I congratulate Mr Rudd. I have written
:09:30. > :09:35.to the Governor General asking her to commission Rudd as Prime Minister
:09:35. > :09:41.of Australia. Her three years as Prime Minister were particularly
:09:41. > :09:47.bruising. I will not be lectured about sexism by this man. I will
:09:47. > :09:52.not. As a woman, she felt she was the victim of prejudice. And now,
:09:52. > :10:01.she is being pushed out of power by a man who had once been her ally in
:10:01. > :10:05.the Labour Party, but turned into a Here a 22-year-old man has gone on
:10:05. > :10:12.trial for the murder of an organist who was killed on his way to

:10:37. > :10:41.who went out that night looking for someone to attack. Jurors were told
:10:41. > :10:46.the 68-year-old was assaulted here, the prosecution said the attack was
:10:46. > :10:54.savage and a pick axe handle used. But jurors were told that the
:10:54. > :10:58.killers were caught on CCTV. 22-year-old Jonathan Bowling is seen
:10:58. > :11:02.on the far side and closest is Ashley Foster. The court were told
:11:02. > :11:06.both men were like brothers than friends. Before the attack they had
:11:06. > :11:09.been drinking rum and coke and vodka. The prosecution claim that
:11:09. > :11:14.minutes after Alan grieves had been beaten, both were heard laughing in
:11:14. > :11:20.a nearby park. The prosecution said that robbery was not a motive and
:11:20. > :11:26.nothing was stolen from Alan grieves. Jonathan Bowling admitted
