:02:19. > :02:23.unions, by proposing the biggest change in a generation to the way

:02:33. > :02:35.
:02:35. > :02:40.be half of membership... Let me be clear... I do not want any
:02:40. > :02:44.individual to be paying money to the Labour Party in affiliation fees
:02:45. > :02:49.unless they have deliberately chosen to do so. Men and women in trade
:02:49. > :02:55.unions should be able to make a more active, individual choice on whether
:02:56. > :03:05.they become part of our party. Labour says that union funding
:03:06. > :03:14.
:03:15. > :03:18.accounts for almost a quarter of the for Ed Miliband. If just one in
:03:18. > :03:23.three trade unionists decide to hold onto their cash, rather than make a
:03:23. > :03:26.deliberate decision to hand it over to the Labour Party, they could lose
:03:26. > :03:36.�3 million. But the Labour leader believes this is a way to get rank
:03:36. > :03:45.
:03:45. > :03:53.and file trade unionists actively involved in politics. I embrace the
:03:53. > :03:56.change and look forward to the debates that will take place.

:04:11. > :04:17.say the Labour Party will still be dependent on trade union cash. Ed

:05:06. > :05:11.cost Labour millions of pounds for head and saying, what is this about?
:05:11. > :05:14.It is not a knockout fight with the unions, it is a complicated
:05:14. > :05:21.organisational tussle which will leave many people wondering if Ed
:05:21. > :05:25.Miliband is actually standing up to the unions. So what happens if the
:05:25. > :05:29.union simply turn around and say, you know what? We don't want to
:05:29. > :05:34.change the way we affiliate to the Labour Party. And that could
:05:34. > :05:38.happen, because Mr Miliband's people said they would not need any rule
:05:38. > :05:42.changes do ring about these reforms. In other words, they hope to do it
:05:42. > :05:45.with the co-operation of the trade unions. What happens if the big
:05:46. > :05:49.unions, and some of them have indicated they do not like these
:05:49. > :05:54.reforms, the to sit on their hands and say no thanks? The danger is
:05:54. > :05:58.that Mr Miliband is not able to deliver, and that plays into the

:06:18. > :06:21.of being freed. But the judges at the European Court of Human Rights
:06:21. > :06:25.said their ruling did not mean there was any chance of imminent release
:06:25. > :06:29.for him and two other killers who brought the challenge. However,

:06:39. > :06:43.He is one of the country's most notorious multiple murderers. On the
:06:43. > :06:48.7th of August 1985, Jeremy Bamber shot his adopted parents and sister
:06:48. > :06:52.and her two young sons. Following his conviction, the trial judge
:06:52. > :06:56.recommended that he served 25 years, but under the system that
:06:56. > :07:01.operates at the time, the Home Secretary imposed a whole of life
:07:01. > :07:06.tariff. He and two other multiple killers have argued that the whole
:07:06. > :07:13.life tariff, which cannot be reviewed, amounts to inhuman and
:07:13. > :07:16.degrading treatment and breaches their human rights. The justice
:07:16. > :07:18.system in England and Wales is highly unusual in that it is one of
:07:18. > :07:22.the only ones in Europe where someone can be sentenced to prison
:07:22. > :07:27.for the rest of their natural life. Today the European Court of Human
:07:27. > :07:31.Rights ruled that people given those sentences were entitled to a review.
:07:31. > :07:36.The court found that with a life sentence then needed to be both the
:07:36. > :07:40.possibility of release and review, and that therefore there had been a
:07:40. > :07:44.violation of human rights in the case of all three men. But it
:07:44. > :07:51.emphasised that today's ruling meant no imminent prospect of release.
:07:51. > :07:54.the evidence showed that these people need some hope of review, and
:07:54. > :08:00.there is a much greater incentive to engage with the prison system, to
:08:00. > :08:05.work on their behaviour, to behave well. There are currently 49 people
:08:05. > :08:08.in England and Wales serving whole life sentences, including the worst
:08:08. > :08:16.of the worst convicted murderers, people like Rose West and the man
:08:16. > :08:18.who murdered Milly Dowler, Levi Belfield. The Government, already
:08:18. > :08:22.concerned about rulings from the European Court of Human Rights on
:08:22. > :08:27.issues such as prisoner voting, had this response. I think the British
:08:27. > :08:31.people will be deeply frustrated by this. It is not what they want and
:08:31. > :08:34.what they believe is right. It reaffirms to me my own determination
:08:34. > :08:38.to see real changes to our human rights laws and to see a real

:08:59. > :09:04.would imagine Tory backbenchers would express it even more
:09:04. > :09:08.colourfully. David Cameron is livid, we heard from his official
:09:08. > :09:12.spokesman that he is very, very, very disappointed in the ruling. He
:09:12. > :09:16.profoundly disagrees with the decision of the court, and the Prime
:09:16. > :09:20.Minister is a strong supporter of whole life tariffs, so no doubt
:09:20. > :09:24.about what David Cameron thinks about the ruling the court has made.
:09:24. > :09:27.The UK Government cannot appeal against this ruling, so this is the
:09:27. > :09:32.end of it. It has six months to consider what it does next. I have
:09:32. > :09:35.just been with the primary star's official spokesman, and he was asked
:09:35. > :09:43.whether he would consider legislation to act in British law
:09:43. > :09:49.this idea of the whole life tariff. He would not say but there are six
:09:49. > :09:56.months to consider. It puts into the spotlight the European Convention on
:09:56. > :09:59.Human Rights, and we just heard from Chris Grayling that they want to see
:10:00. > :10:03.the end of it. There are plenty on the other side of the coalition who
:10:03. > :10:07.believe it is an integral part of the modern British justice system,
:10:07. > :10:10.so despite all the talk from the Conservatives, there will be no
:10:10. > :10:13.change for the next few years, nothing before the next general
:10:13. > :10:18.election, but it will be increasingly likely that the
:10:18. > :10:23.Conservatives will go into that election promising to get out of the
:10:23. > :10:28.European and, and that could have a serious bearing on membership of the
:10:28. > :10:31.union. The man found guilty of abducting
:10:31. > :10:35.and murdering five-year-old April Jones in Machynlleth in mid Wales
:10:35. > :10:38.has been attacked in prison. Mark Bridger, who was serving a life
:10:38. > :10:44.sentence, was slashed in the face with a makeshift blade after being
:10:44. > :10:47.set upon by another inmate at Wakefield prison on Sunday. He was
:10:47. > :10:51.taken to hospital for treatment. At least 30 people have been injured
:10:51. > :10:55.in a huge explosion in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The blast is
:10:55. > :11:00.thought to have been caused by a car bomb. It happened in the southern
:11:00. > :11:04.suburbs of the city, a stronghold of Hezbollah, which has been fighting

:11:29. > :11:34.through what has happened in court and reminders of the background to
:11:34. > :11:39.this case. Jimmy Mubenga was a married father of five who had lived
:11:39. > :11:44.legally in the UK for 16 years, but a decision was made to deport him in
:11:44. > :11:48.2010 because he had served a prison sentence for assault. He ended up on
:11:48. > :11:53.a British Airways flight accompanied by three G4S security guards. A
:11:53. > :11:59.struggle broke out, and this inquest jury was unequivocal about what
:11:59. > :12:02.happened next. They say the methods used by the guard to restrain him
:12:02. > :12:07.amounted to a unlawful killing. Passengers described how, with his
:12:07. > :12:11.hands cuffed behind his back, Jimmy Mubenga's head had been forced down
:12:11. > :12:15.and his torso so that his head was between his knees, and he was held
:12:15. > :12:19.in that position for up to 15 minutes. Another passenger described
:12:19. > :12:24.how he was saying, you are killing me, I cannot breathe, I cannot
:12:24. > :12:29.breathe. When the verdict was read out in court, Jimmy Mubenga's widow
:12:29. > :12:32.wept and cried out his name twice. This, of course, has serious

:24:14. > :24:17.as firm favourite to retain the trophy having won three of the last
:24:17. > :24:21.four series against Australia, not to mention the recent troubles that
:24:22. > :24:28.have hit the Australian team since arriving in the UK. Let's cross to
:24:28. > :24:30.Nottingham and Joe Wilson is there for us. The two captains going
:24:30. > :24:34.through their final pre-match obligations, meeting the referee,
:24:34. > :24:38.speaking to the media. Lots of cameras here. In a few moments
:24:38. > :24:42.Australia will be using these great facilities in Nottingham for their
:24:42. > :24:44.final training session before the Ashes. They have been forced into
:24:44. > :24:48.extreme measures already, sacking their coach before the first test.
:24:48. > :24:51.They seem more at ease with themselves as a consequence. But
:24:51. > :24:56.remember, this is an Australian team that comes here having lost their
:24:56. > :25:00.last four matches. There are some who would rather predict the trend
:25:00. > :25:04.freezing over in July than Australia winning the Ashes. -- the River
:25:04. > :25:08.Trent. The reason is part banter, part hard reality. The Australian
:25:08. > :25:13.team that govern in Nottingham can no longer weaken the opposition
:25:13. > :25:18.through reputation. It's a far cry from Glenn McGrath. 563 test
:25:18. > :25:22.wickets, and he has had a predictable formula with the Ashes,
:25:22. > :25:28.predicting a 5-0 victory, now he hopes they can thrive on being the
:25:28. > :25:31.underdogs. A lot of pressure on England, they are expected to win.
:25:31. > :25:38.The Australian team have nothing to lose. Hopefully they will go out and
:25:38. > :25:41.give it everything they have got. With all of its history, England
:25:41. > :25:48.against Australia is a series which sells itself and sells out grounds,
:25:48. > :25:54.but that does not stop the hype. The fact is, after the Lions rugby, and
:25:54. > :25:57.Andy Murray at Wimbledon, the bar of success has been raised high.
:25:57. > :26:01.fantastic. We hope to do the same. There is a feel-good factor that
:26:01. > :26:04.comes from the nation doing well, and we hope to tap into it, and in
:26:04. > :26:09.six weeks times we can be up alongside those guys as a victorious
:26:09. > :26:12.English team. In his career so far, Alistair Cooke has risen to every
:26:13. > :26:20.challenge, but in England captain expected to win the Ashes is a rare
:26:20. > :26:24.position that could just become a vintage have said that they thrive
:26:24. > :26:29.as underdogs. Admittedly they have frozen a bit when favourites. As for
:26:29. > :26:33.Michael Clarke, he said he is inspired rather than intimidated by
:26:33. > :26:39.Andy Murray's success at Wimbledon. What else could he say? We will see
:26:39. > :26:43.the result here tomorrow morning. Greatly looking forward to it. It is
:26:43. > :26:47.not just the voices of choir members that are in harmony. According to
:26:48. > :26:51.scientists in Sweden it seems that singing together also synchronises
:26:51. > :26:54.heartbeats. They found that when people sing in unison their pulses
:26:54. > :27:02.go up and down at the same rate. Let's speak to our Welsh
:27:02. > :27:05.correspondent who is at the International musical Eisteddfod.
:27:05. > :27:08.The choirs come to compete here from around the world and they know that
:27:08. > :27:14.they have two fine tune their performances. But any choir
:27:14. > :27:17.conductor will tell you they also have booby on the beat, and the
:27:17. > :27:21.research suggests something physiological helps them do it. This
:27:21. > :27:24.choir from Indonesia are preparing the next song, so let's have a word
:27:24. > :27:29.with the Eisteddfod director. What do you make of the research? I think
:27:29. > :27:36.there is something in it. The idea of them moving together and
:27:36. > :27:39.breathing together is vital. Sometimes in rehearsals you do not
:27:39. > :27:44.have to give a beat, the choir will do it together. The more choir gets
:27:44. > :27:50.to know each other, yes, they do find shoes with each other. They use
:27:50. > :27:54.their ears and breathing. -- they do find -- fine tune with each other.
:27:54. > :27:59.They will also look at the health effects of singing. They looked
:27:59. > :28:02.lively onstage. Is there something in that? Definitely. When you go to
:28:02. > :28:08.a choir rehearsal it should be joyful, something you enjoy doing.
:28:08. > :28:12.They are showing what you do. It is a community and the people come
:28:12. > :28:22.together and enjoy. That's what it's all about. Enjoy the rest of the
:28:22. > :28:38.
:28:38. > :28:48.Eisteddfod. We will leave you with and our reporter in perfect harmony
:28:48. > :28:54.with them. Time for a look at the parts of the country tomorrow, and
:28:54. > :28:57.we will see that at the test match, in actual fact. Today, we have
:28:57. > :29:02.sunshine and temperatures higher than they were yesterday. We are
:29:02. > :29:06.looking at around 2627d. Tomorrow with more cloud around it will feel
:29:06. > :29:11.a good deal cooler. We started with a low cloud and misty weather this
:29:11. > :29:15.morning in the Midlands, and across Wales. That quickly burned off and
:29:15. > :29:18.the sunshine has been lifting the temperatures, 27 in Durham at the
:29:18. > :29:21.moment, one of the warmest places in the country and significantly warmer
:29:21. > :29:24.here than yesterday. There is some cloud on the far north of Scotland
:29:24. > :29:32.but away from here little if any cloud around the door, so with the
:29:32. > :29:36.sun beating down temperatures will continue widely, 26 to 28 Celsius.
:29:36. > :29:39.Maybe a bit cooler around the coast, a gentle breeze in Norwich, four
:29:39. > :29:43.example. And in Scotland with the cloud cover temperatures will be
:29:43. > :29:47.lower. We have a weak weather front bringing in the cloud in northern
:29:47. > :29:51.Scotland. As it pushes towards the south, some low cloud in the south,
:29:51. > :29:55.so misty, murky and some drizzle as well. Further south and further
:29:55. > :29:58.west, clearer skies, and after the heat of the day it could be an
:29:58. > :30:02.uncomfortably warm night tonight. Changes tomorrow, particularly for
:30:02. > :30:06.northern and eastern areas of the UK. The weather front is bringing
:30:06. > :30:10.little or no rain. It drags much more cloud to the south. The cloud
:30:10. > :30:14.may thin and break up early in the day. For some parts of the UK,
:30:14. > :30:18.temperatures much lower compared with today's value. Although we
:30:18. > :30:23.could see late sunshine across East Anglia and northern England, the
:30:23. > :30:26.north-east will be significantly cooler. 17 degrees for example is
:30:26. > :30:31.expected in Newcastle tomorrow. For many in northern and eastern areas
:30:31. > :30:33.of Scotland, those temperatures will be lower as the fresh air comes in.
:30:33. > :30:35.Across South Wales and southern England and Northern Ireland where
:30:35. > :30:39.we have the sunshine for longer, temperatures should not be far off
:30:39. > :30:44.those values today. As we had further north and east, the
:30:44. > :30:47.temperatures will be noticeably lower. Probably by six or seven
:30:47. > :30:50.degrees. As we head through Thursday, a bit more cloud around.
:30:50. > :30:56.Some will retreat back to the eastern coastal areas. Sunny spells
:30:56. > :30:59.developing more widely. Temperatures typically in the low to mid 20s,
:30:59. > :31:03.probably a cooler and fresher feel across the south-east. But still
:31:03. > :31:07.high pressure on the shore, so very little if any rain at all. The week
:31:07. > :31:10.weather front may arrive in the North West on Friday will stop with
:31:10. > :31:14.high pressure building back in over the UK it will break up a lot of the
:31:14. > :31:18.cloud, so a lot of sunshine on Friday and the temperatures rising
:31:18. > :31:21.as well. Across the northern half of the UK we will see increasing cloud
:31:21. > :31:31.dropping the temperatures on Saturday, to the south, temperatures
:31:31. > :31:33.
:31:33. > :31:38.lunchtime. Ed Miliband has set out what he called historic changes of
