Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News At One. The UK economy grew

:01:29.:01:38.

by 0.8% during July August and September. The fastest pace for

:01:39.:01:41.

three years. Figures from the Office for National Statistics show all

:01:42.:01:43.

sectors of the economy grew, including a 2.5% rise in the

:01:44.:01:49.

construction industry. The Chancellor, George Osborne, said

:01:50.:01:51.

that Britain was on the path to prosperity, though Labour said the

:01:52.:01:55.

rising cost of living meant that for millions of people it didn't feel

:01:56.:01:58.

like a recovery. Here's our chief economics correspondent Hugh Pym.

:01:59.:02:06.

The economic outlook is brightening both here on Tyneside and around the

:02:07.:02:10.

UK. After being hard hit by the recession, a recovery is underway

:02:11.:02:14.

here with many firms recruiting. After solid expansion in the first

:02:15.:02:18.

half of this year, businesses report will pick up in the three months to

:02:19.:02:23.

September. Now in the third quarter we have seen that confidence become

:02:24.:02:27.

a confidence to invest, implants and machinery, new premises but

:02:28.:02:31.

particularly in new skills, taking on new staff and training them, and

:02:32.:02:35.

that confidence to invest we really welcome. The Chancellor visiting a

:02:36.:02:41.

textiles business, was quick to hail the news of growth across all main

:02:42.:02:45.

areas of the private sector, services, construction and

:02:46.:02:49.

manufacturing. Britain's hard work is paying off. We can see that in

:02:50.:02:53.

these economic numbers today. It shows we're on the path to

:02:54.:02:56.

prosperity. Lots of risks remain so we have to stick with a plan that

:02:57.:03:00.

has got us this far. The economy has been growing steadily since the turn

:03:01.:03:04.

of the year in what looks like a sustained recovery. But even after

:03:05.:03:18.

today's, overall economic activity has still not return to levels seen

:03:19.:03:21.

before the recession. Economic output known as GDP is still 2.5%

:03:22.:03:23.

below where it was in 2008. Within that, construction remains 12.5%

:03:24.:03:27.

short of prerecession levels. Manufacturing, 9% lower, and the

:03:28.:03:33.

important services sector is now 0.4% higher than it prerecession

:03:34.:03:38.

peak. With average wage is still lacking behind cost-of-living

:03:39.:03:41.

increases, Labour argue that for most consumers, there was no real

:03:42.:03:47.

recovery. For families, pensioners, their living standards are going

:03:48.:03:51.

down, not up, and we need a recovery which is not only strong and lasts,

:03:52.:03:56.

but delivers the working people. We asked people how they felt about

:03:57.:04:01.

their jobs and spending power? Very little disposable income. It's quite

:04:02.:04:07.

hard, to be honest. For me personally, I can see huge

:04:08.:04:10.

difference between not having a pay rise and the cost of living going

:04:11.:04:14.

up. You can see the comparison, but I'm very fortunate to be in a job.

:04:15.:04:22.

Various growth in the UK but more water needs to flow under the bridge

:04:23.:04:26.

before we can be sure there was a balanced recovery north and south

:04:27.:04:30.

and across the whole economy. Let's speak to out correspondent Peter

:04:31.:04:36.

Plisner who's in Dudley. It may not be boom time there, Peter, but is

:04:37.:04:41.

there a sense the economy has turned a corner? Yes, growth here is

:04:42.:04:45.

extremely good. A lot of it around manufacturing and a lot of it is

:04:46.:04:48.

happening as a direct result of growth in sales of the car-maker

:04:49.:04:52.

Jaguar Land Rover. This lunchtime, we are in Dudley, and here they are

:04:53.:04:59.

building industrial units speculatively, which means there's

:05:00.:05:02.

no tenants lined up for these units but I'm told interest is high. Today

:05:03.:05:07.

I've spoken to a variety of companies on the estate, an IT firm,

:05:08.:05:12.

Jose a lot of firms are now buying new computers and infrastructure.

:05:13.:05:17.

Another firm, a door manufacturer, who went bust two years ago, and are

:05:18.:05:22.

now under new management and say they are doing extremely well in the

:05:23.:05:27.

current economy. Landlords here say that they are seeing fewer empty

:05:28.:05:32.

unit and along with the phones here are expanding into empty units.

:05:33.:05:36.

Currently, 3000 jobs on the estate and it's expected to grow as the

:05:37.:05:40.

economy grows. Peter, thank you very much. Let's speak to our political

:05:41.:05:46.

correspondent, Carole Walker. I guess the Chancellor must be feeling

:05:47.:05:49.

pretty vindicated having stuck to his plan? That's right. Ministers

:05:50.:05:55.

are always keen to sound complacent but George Osborne said this morning

:05:56.:06:00.

there is now an economic recovery. He was able to talk about momentum

:06:01.:06:05.

and that's important because if people feel more positive about the

:06:06.:06:08.

outlook for the economy, they are more likely to invest, and that

:06:09.:06:12.

provides more jobs and growth. It was interesting to see a survey to

:06:13.:06:16.

date with suggested, although people are more optimistic about the

:06:17.:06:21.

economy as a whole, they are not necessarily optimistic about their

:06:22.:06:26.

own economic circumstances. That underlines Labour 's big argument

:06:27.:06:31.

that wages are not keeping pace with rising prices, people are not seeing

:06:32.:06:36.

improvements in their own personal circumstances. So the big challenge

:06:37.:06:40.

now for the government is to convince people it only by sticking

:06:41.:06:44.

with their tough economic recipe that they will begin to see

:06:45.:06:48.

improvements in their own family finances. OK, thank you. A deal has

:06:49.:06:56.

been done to save the Grangemouth petrochemical plant from closure.

:06:57.:06:59.

Fresh talks came after the Unite union accepted a rescue plan that

:07:00.:07:01.

they had previously rejected, which includes a pay freeze and changes to

:07:02.:07:04.

pensions. The announcement has been welcomed by politicians in London

:07:05.:07:08.

and Edinburgh. The owner of the plant, who earlier this week

:07:09.:07:11.

announced the closure of Grangemouth, tells the BBC the deal

:07:12.:07:13.

should secure its future for many years. Let's cross to our Scotland

:07:14.:07:24.

Correspondent, James Cook. Yes, just a few hours ago, this was in danger

:07:25.:07:29.

of having a very different outcome. It's been an extraordinary week here

:07:30.:07:33.

and Grangemouth looked at one stage as if it would go down in history as

:07:34.:07:38.

an industrial catastrophe. A byword for a collapse in the economy in

:07:39.:07:42.

this part of Scotland. And further afield. That has all changed,

:07:43.:07:50.

though, this morning. Last time, the Long walk to meet management ended

:07:51.:07:54.

in disaster. Half the site was too close, the other half was at risk.

:07:55.:07:59.

In desperation, the workers ask for a second chance, and will accept the

:08:00.:08:03.

changes to pay and pensions they had fought so hard to stop. And today,

:08:04.:08:08.

it was good news. The plant had been saved. What did they tell you in

:08:09.:08:15.

there? The plant is safe, yes. We've still got the job. It's a relief,

:08:16.:08:22.

yeah. I've only been here three months and left a perfectly secure

:08:23.:08:25.

job to come here and to be told you were getting sacked, two days ago,

:08:26.:08:29.

really disappointing but you just got to be happy now we are still

:08:30.:08:33.

getting jobs. Sharing the plant was going to shut was very worrying for

:08:34.:08:37.

everyone and now everybody is happy to go back to work. I think from

:08:38.:08:41.

where most people have been during the week, its belief and people feel

:08:42.:08:48.

very, very pleased for my family, and my colleagues. But there's a lot

:08:49.:08:51.

of people very, very worried, staring into the abyss. Absolutely

:08:52.:08:56.

fantastic. Is the big three bittersweet? It is a chance for a

:08:57.:09:02.

new beginning because if the management can develop trust with

:09:03.:09:05.

us, the plant has a good future. Eight days ago, Ineos close to the

:09:06.:09:11.

plant and said it would remain shut until a deal was struck. On Tuesday,

:09:12.:09:16.

workers refused to accept the cuts to pay and pensions and within 24

:09:17.:09:20.

and was, Ineos said it was closing the plant with a loss of 800 jobs,

:09:21.:09:25.

and yesterday, Unite caved in saying it will accept the original offer

:09:26.:09:31.

warts and all. So what of the man who held the fate of these workers

:09:32.:09:36.

in his hands? The founder of Ineos spoke exclusively to the BBC. We

:09:37.:09:40.

could not have plotted the root of how we have arrived at where we have

:09:41.:09:44.

arrived today but at the end of day, it's great news for everyone. My

:09:45.:09:49.

only regret is a serious regret that we, the unions, have caused a lot of

:09:50.:09:56.

distrust of people. The deal to save Grangemouth makes it less reliant on

:09:57.:10:01.

the North Sea. Ineos will now invest ?300 million in a new terminal to

:10:02.:10:05.

import gas from America. It has the backing of the UK and Scottish

:10:06.:10:11.

Governments. As Wednesday was a day of desolation, this is a day of

:10:12.:10:14.

encouragement. The important thing about people pulling together to

:10:15.:10:17.

secure this investment, it's not the next year or next week, but for the

:10:18.:10:22.

future of Grangemouth as a facility. I believe for the next 25 years.

:10:23.:10:25.

That's what's important about today's announcement. So victory for

:10:26.:10:31.

the workers but at a cost. This has been a roller-coaster week with a

:10:32.:10:38.

bittersweet ending. And in the past few minutes we have heard from the

:10:39.:10:42.

Unite union who said relief would ring round this community and would

:10:43.:10:46.

ring around the whole of Scotland but also accepted workers would have

:10:47.:10:51.

to make sacrifices. There are many questions remaining. There's a place

:10:52.:10:56.

supplies 70% of Oscars bash Scotland's fuel. How could such an

:10:57.:11:05.

important strategic asset end up in this situation? That'll be debated

:11:06.:11:09.

in the coming days but, for now, there is just a huge amount of

:11:10.:11:13.

relief. James, thank you very much there at Grangemouth. New advice has

:11:14.:11:17.

been given to elderly and vulnerable people on how to stay warm this

:11:18.:11:20.

winter. Public health officials have suggested that people struggling

:11:21.:11:23.

with the cost of heating their homes should heat only their living room

:11:24.:11:26.

in the daytime and the bedroom last thing at night. They say this will

:11:27.:11:29.

help avoid the 24,000 excess deaths which happen each winter. Ben

:11:30.:11:40.

Geoghegan reports. The cold weather isn't far-away and every year it

:11:41.:11:44.

brings with it a spike in illness. In England, there is around 24,000

:11:45.:11:50.

preventable deaths each winter. So, public health officials are warning

:11:51.:11:55.

people to think ahead. We want to inform them of the risks that can

:11:56.:11:58.

happen with cold weather. We want people to plan and prepare it and be

:11:59.:12:03.

safe. And we know that cold weather hurts people and causes harm and we

:12:04.:12:08.

want to try to avoid as much of this as we can. Planning ahead means

:12:09.:12:11.

checking your heating system and setting it at between 18-21dC. Homes

:12:12.:12:17.

should be properly insulated. Young children and the elderly should get

:12:18.:12:22.

their flu jab. But affording to stay warm will be hard for some people

:12:23.:12:28.

this year. Four of the big six energy companies have announced

:12:29.:12:31.

price rises. Some charities say, as a result, the number of elderly

:12:32.:12:37.

people looking for financial support is going up. Our applications this

:12:38.:12:41.

year since April are up by 10%. People who need the most basic

:12:42.:12:46.

things, who need help with their utility bills are desperately

:12:47.:12:51.

worried at the increasing numbers of older people and it's a real concern

:12:52.:12:57.

to us. Today campaigners, including Age UK and Barnardos, have written

:12:58.:13:01.

to the Prime Minister calling for politicians to do more to help. The

:13:02.:13:06.

charities say, in Europe, Britain is second only to Estonia for the

:13:07.:13:09.

number of people who are struggling to pay their energy bills. The

:13:10.:13:14.

government has been helping to provide better insulation in some

:13:15.:13:18.

homes. Ministers say cold weather payments, discounts and a bigger

:13:19.:13:22.

state pension will also help people to stay warm this winter. The

:13:23.:13:28.

security giant, Serco, which is at the centre of a government contract

:13:29.:13:30.

scandal, has announced that its chief executive, Chris Hyman, is

:13:31.:13:33.

stepping down. The company is being investigated by the Serious Fraud

:13:34.:13:35.

Office after claims that the government was overcharged millions

:13:36.:13:38.

of pounds for electronically tagging criminals who were either dead, in

:13:39.:13:46.

prison, or were never tagged at all. A memo leaked by the whistle-blower

:13:47.:13:49.

Edward Snowden, and published in today's Guardian, suggests that

:13:50.:13:51.

America regularly monitored the phone calls of at least 35 world

:13:52.:13:57.

leaders. It follows a complaint made by the German Chancellor Angela

:13:58.:13:59.

Merkel to President Obama, about claims her conversations were being

:14:00.:14:05.

listened to. France and Germany want America to take action to regain

:14:06.:14:09.

trust. Our correspondent Matthew Price is at a summit of European

:14:10.:14:19.

leaders in Brussels. Matthew. Yes, there has been some concern, of

:14:20.:14:23.

course, because of these reports that British intelligence services

:14:24.:14:27.

have been working alongside their American counterparts on monitoring

:14:28.:14:30.

some European citizens and indeed, possibly some of your's leaders.

:14:31.:14:35.

David Cameron, speaking a few moments ago in Brussels, didn't

:14:36.:14:38.

directly address those allegations but he did say the intelligence

:14:39.:14:41.

services in Britain helped to keep us safe and the work they do is

:14:42.:14:44.

vital and they are properly scrutinised by Parliament in the UK.

:14:45.:14:49.

David Cameron wanted the headlines today to be about cutting Brussels

:14:50.:14:54.

not what bureaucracy, but the spying row has overshadowed everything

:14:55.:15:00.

else. Angela Merkel joins David Cameron this morning with British

:15:01.:15:03.

businessmen who want her support in joining Brussels to cut red tape in

:15:04.:15:08.

regulation but her main focus is elsewhere. She says the mobile phone

:15:09.:15:13.

that she uses for government business is encrypted still, she

:15:14.:15:18.

believes she was spied on by America.

:15:19.:15:24.

TRANSLATION: I think the most important thing right now is to work

:15:25.:15:28.

out how Western allies can best cooperate in the future. Trust needs

:15:29.:15:33.

to be rebuilt. That implies that trust has been severely shaken. The

:15:34.:15:39.

French president outlined what the two countries propose to do about

:15:40.:15:42.

it. TRANSLATION: France and Germany will

:15:43.:15:47.

start discussing the matter with the Americans. To agree a common

:15:48.:15:51.

framework by the end of the year. Essentially, they are talking about

:15:52.:15:55.

not spying on one another. Though how you control a clandestine

:15:56.:16:00.

activity is hard to see. Some here regard this as an opportunity to

:16:01.:16:05.

push for new rules on data protection, online privacy, where

:16:06.:16:09.

and how all our data is stored in the EU. The leaders are making

:16:10.:16:14.

progress on that issue. But report that dozens of world leaders may

:16:15.:16:17.

have been spied upon will be unnerving.

:16:18.:16:30.

Angela Merkel has been talking about that issue. She has said they

:16:31.:16:37.

are short and long-term measures which need to be looked at and they

:16:38.:16:41.

will be looked at in the future. At the moment there was no appetite in

:16:42.:16:46.

Europe for reworking the asylum policy.

:16:47.:16:49.

The economy has grown at its fastest rate for three years. The

:16:50.:16:54.

Chancellor says it shows that Britain is on the mend.

:16:55.:17:02.

And still to come... One of the world's leading festivals comes to

:17:03.:17:06.

Wales. This is hardly the most glamorous

:17:07.:17:18.

bit of the music industry. If you want to find a truly global

:17:19.:17:25.

audience, this is the place to be bus-stop later on BBC London,

:17:26.:17:29.

Harrods change coffee suppliers after an investigation by this

:17:30.:17:34.

programme. Back on ice at the London Palladium with any

:17:35.:17:42.

performance of the Nutcracker. -- a new performance.

:17:43.:17:45.

It is a year to the day since the first cases of ash dieback disease

:17:46.:17:50.

were officially confirmed in Britain's native woodland. Since

:17:51.:17:52.

then tens of thousands of trees with the disease have been

:17:53.:17:57.

identified across the UK. Experts are trying to find ways to protect

:17:58.:18:00.

remaining woodland. Our correspondent is in Hucking Wood in

:18:01.:18:02.

Kent. You join me in an absolutely

:18:03.:18:13.

beautiful estate here in Kent which is managed by the Woodland Trust.

:18:14.:18:18.

Experts have been telling me their ashtrays have also been hit by ash

:18:19.:18:25.

dieback, as have 250 sites across the UK. -- ash trees. This could be

:18:26.:18:35.

part of the solution to dealing with this disease, as an have been

:18:36.:18:42.

finding out. They are integral to our view of the British countryside.

:18:43.:18:47.

For at least a year, ash trees have been under attack. Experts like

:18:48.:18:53.

Austin Brady claimed 90% of ash trees could be killed by ash

:18:54.:18:59.

dieback. There is no cure. Can you describe the signs? This is a young

:19:00.:19:06.

ash tree. It has grown from seed. If you look at the main part come

:19:07.:19:11.

up the central stem has started to die back. -- domain part, the

:19:12.:19:21.

central stem. Ash trees are the third most common broad leaf tree.

:19:22.:19:28.

Deciduous canopies are essential for entire ecosystems. Lose the

:19:29.:19:34.

trees and we could lose a host of other much loved plants and in sex.

:19:35.:19:43.

Scientists are relying on plant genetics to reforest affected areas.

:19:44.:19:51.

-- and insects. 10,000 saplings have been planted in this field,

:19:52.:19:56.

made up of 14 different varieties of ash. They will all be exposed to

:19:57.:20:03.

ash dieback. Those that survive will be resistant to the disease

:20:04.:20:09.

and they could form the basis of a brand new breeding programme.

:20:10.:20:13.

Scientists say this is only one part of the solution. Stopping the

:20:14.:20:18.

import of foreign ash trees and teaching the public to spot the

:20:19.:20:23.

signs of ash dieback will be essential to ensure seedlings like

:20:24.:20:30.

these grow long into the future. There is also more good news today.

:20:31.:20:35.

The BBC has learnt the National Trust say they have identified

:20:36.:20:41.

species of ash which might also be resistant to the disease. Clearly,

:20:42.:20:47.

progress has been made but undoubtedly a very long way to go.

:20:48.:20:51.

A 3D printer and suspected homemade gun components have been seized

:20:52.:20:54.

during police raids in Manchester. A plastic magazine and trigger,

:20:55.:20:56.

which detectives suspect could be fitted together to make a firearm,

:20:57.:21:00.

and would be able to get through a metal detector unnoticed. Greater

:21:01.:21:03.

Manchester Police said forensic experts were assessing whether the

:21:04.:21:05.

parts could make a genuine weapon. Greater Manchester Police believed

:21:06.:21:18.

that this piece of plastic may be the trigger of a gun. They say it

:21:19.:21:24.

was bound with what could be a magazine, as part of the first

:21:25.:21:28.

firearm in Britain to be produced by a 3D Printer. Police seize parts

:21:29.:21:33.

and the printer yesterday when they raided a shop in with an oar,

:21:34.:21:39.

Manchester. Police say firearms experts are examining the parts. --

:21:40.:21:45.

Wythenshawe. Detectives issued a statement saying it was a really

:21:46.:21:51.

significant discovery. This afternoon they released a second

the component parts for a 3D gun. The police arrested the shop owner

during the raid. He will not be identified. Today he was back in

:22:06.:22:10.

his shop. He says the plastic parts are actually components of the

:22:11.:22:15.

printer itself. It enables the printer to print better. It is

:22:16.:22:21.

nothing to do with a gun whatsoever. I do not know a gun that could fit

the sort of thing. I have no idea why they think it could be part of

a gun. Earlier this year, the BBC filmed the world's first 3D printer

have seized one even further testing. They say they have opened

:22:49.:22:55.

up a wider debate about this next generation of weapons. A letter

:22:56.:22:59.

bomb sent to Northern Ireland's chief constable has been

:23:00.:23:01.

intercepted at a postal sorting office in County Antrim. An Army

:23:02.:23:05.

bomb team dealt with the device at Mallusk early this morning. It had

:23:06.:23:08.

been addressed to Matt Baggott at the police's headquarters in east

:23:09.:23:11.

Belfast. Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said it was a

:23:12.:23:13.

callous and reckless attack. What is going on here? That is not

:23:14.:23:28.

the only incident that has taken place in the last 24 hours. There

:23:29.:23:35.

have been two separate security alerts and two letter bombs. They

:23:36.:23:41.

have both been sent to senior members of the police force of

:23:42.:23:44.

Northern Ireland. The first was sent to the headquarters and

:23:45.:23:49.

specifically to the Chief Constable. The second which has been

discovered was once again be dressed in a high-profile officer

from the PSNI. Police are still dealing with that discovery. --

:23:58.:24:05.

addressed. There have been dozens of security alerts in recent weeks

:24:06.:24:10.

like schools and homes having had people move out of them. What is

:24:11.:24:15.

worrying is the fact that police officers have been targeted over

:24:16.:24:18.

several times in recent days. There have been several bombs thrown at

:24:19.:24:25.

police vehicles. Police make it clear that they believed dissident

:24:26.:24:30.

republicans are involved. The security and safety of police

:24:31.:24:33.

officers in Northern Ireland is of great concern. Labour has won the

:24:34.:24:42.

Dunfermline by-election for the Scottish Parliament with a majority

:24:43.:24:51.

of 3000. The by-election was caused by the resignation of Bill Walker,

:24:52.:24:56.

who was jailed for domestic abuse. In the early hours of this morning

:24:57.:25:00.

Labour got confirmation they had taken the seat convincingly from

:25:01.:25:05.

the Scottish National Party. I declare Cairo Hilton to be elected

:25:06.:25:12.

to serve in the Scottish Parliament. With a majority of more than 2800,

:25:13.:25:19.

it was a sweet but hard fought victory. The winning candidate was

clear why she believes voters have turned away from the nationalists.

:25:24.:25:33.

The trust that Dunfermline people marks a step to rebuilding people's

:25:34.:25:38.

faith and trust for us. We are trying to connect with communities

:25:39.:25:43.

across Scotland. Tonight's result makes sure we are firmly on that

:25:44.:25:48.

road. Labour has wrestled the seat back from the SNP. As much as

:25:49.:25:53.

Labour might make out this is a shape of things to come, with the

independence referendum next year, there is a limit to what can be

industry bosses from across the globe have gathered in Cardiff for

:26:09.:26:14.

the international WOMEX festival. It is only the second time the

:26:15.:26:16.

festival has been held in the UK. Eight global gathering where

:26:17.:26:28.

artists tripe and put their music on the map. -- try. WOMEX is an

:26:29.:26:39.

annual travelling festival, centre of the world music scene. What

:26:40.:26:44.

counts as world music? It is easy to say that world music is the

:26:45.:26:49.

music that is not Anglo and American rock. It is everything

:26:50.:26:55.

else. It celebrates traditional music from all around the world.

:26:56.:27:03.

Folk music, Welsh music, Peruvian music, African... Everything that

:27:04.:27:10.

is not Anglo Saxon and American rock. The concert sees thousands of

:27:11.:27:18.

delegates swarm around the stalls. Artists, companies and countries

:27:19.:27:22.

buying and selling music to one another. If you want a truly global

:27:23.:27:28.

audience, this is the place to be. That is what has brought this man

:27:29.:27:35.

from Mumbai to Wales. He hopes this could lead to a world tour. You get

:27:36.:27:40.

to present to a talent to the worldwide audience. It is a world

:27:41.:27:45.

music platform. You get to meet so many people from across the globe.

:27:46.:27:49.

It is the ideal kind of situation an artist would want to be in.

:27:50.:28:00.

Others have more modest ambitions. George a ruse has just brought out

:28:01.:28:07.

her album. She has been getting airplay on Radio 2. -- Georgia Ruth.

:28:08.:28:16.

It is a horrible concept - selling yourself. The best thing to do is

:28:17.:28:21.

to be happy in your performance. From Welsh folk to Peruvian music

and beyond. This week it is all under one roof and waiting to be
