:03:02. > :03:05.times, struggled to cope with this extraordinary crisis, but insist
:03:06. > :03:10.they have always put the feelings of the families first. Yesterday's news

:04:03. > :04:11.thoughts now go out to the families of the passengers and crew on board
:04:12. > :04:14.the flight. Six countries are now contributing to the search, but bad
:04:15. > :04:19.weather prevented them from going out today. Chinese ships are also on

:04:49. > :04:50.Ocean, and that's definitive statements by the Malaysian
:04:51. > :04:56.authorities cannot seem final until they pull wreckage from the water,
:04:57. > :05:03.and that is still such a formidable pass that nobody can say when it
:05:04. > :05:09.will happen. `` task. Let's go to China now. Our
:05:10. > :05:13.correspondent is in Beijing. We saw those desperate scenes from
:05:14. > :05:16.relatives of the missing, many of whom cannot believe until wreckage
:05:17. > :05:20.is found that their loved ones are gone. Protests are pretty rare
:05:21. > :05:26.things on the streets of the Chinese capital. This one was highly
:05:27. > :05:30.emotional and spontaneous and appeared to catch the authorities by
:05:31. > :05:34.surprise. The police did their best to stop it. They are instinctively
:05:35. > :05:38.nervous of anything that looks like organise the gathering or shared
:05:39. > :05:43.grievance, but through sheer force of will, chanting, tell us the
:05:44. > :05:48.truth, the relatives pushed on the rail and made it to the Malaysian
:05:49. > :05:53.Embassy and handed over a statement that they do not accept this claim
:05:54. > :06:00.that the flight is lost, and with it, all hope. They want proof ``
:06:01. > :06:06.proof. What is also in the sting is that we are starting to see glimpses
:06:07. > :06:09.of the relatives putting more pressure on the Chinese government
:06:10. > :06:16.to intervene and do more on their behalf. The Chief Executive of
:06:17. > :06:21.Malaysia Airlines has defended the way his company has dealt with
:06:22. > :06:25.relatives of the missing passengers. Talking to our correspondents, he
:06:26. > :06:30.said his company's priority was to take care of those affected. We have
:06:31. > :06:42.done all we can within our means to help them. You must realise, in an
:06:43. > :06:46.incident like this, normally, in any tragedy, there is always some
:06:47. > :06:51.evidence in place. We have not had any evidence until maybe last night.
:06:52. > :06:58.So you are 100% sure the plane is lost. East on evidence provided to
:06:59. > :07:04.us, yes. Our transport correspondent joins me now. The time is running
:07:05. > :07:07.out, because this black box has batteries which last for just a
:07:08. > :07:12.couple of weeks more. I think it is unlikely that they are going to hear
:07:13. > :07:16.the black boxes. Then you move onto the second wave, which is the
:07:17. > :07:22.sonar, which is getting thrown submarines, no`one on them, they
:07:23. > :07:27.just the sea bed. They cannot overstate how difficult it is going
:07:28. > :07:31.to be defined as aircraft. You see all of these ships going out and you
:07:32. > :07:35.feel it is going to be found, but is very deceptive. They are still
:07:36. > :07:38.searching an area the size of the North Sea. I am told there are
:07:39. > :07:45.better maps of the moon 's surface than this sea bed area. They have
:07:46. > :07:49.not got the kit yet to find it. It could be months or years before they
:07:50. > :07:52.find anything, and it is possible they may never find this aircraft.
:07:53. > :07:57.There was a French aircraft that went down in the Atlantic Ocean,
:07:58. > :08:02.they found to breed a few days later, but it still took them two
:08:03. > :08:08.days to find the plane. `` they found debris. You can keep
:08:09. > :08:19.up`to`date with the search on the BBC News Channel or follow along on
:08:20. > :08:24.the BBC News website. Inflation is at its lowest level for four years.
:08:25. > :08:28.The Consumer Prices Index fell to 1.7% last month, down from 1.9% in
:08:29. > :08:31.January. The fall, which is partly down to lower fuel prices, means
:08:32. > :08:42.that the gap between pay increases and price rises continues to narrow.
:08:43. > :08:48.It is the cost of living increases that have been putting the squeeze
:08:49. > :08:52.on household budgets in the past two years. Today, the rate of ablation
:08:53. > :08:58.cell again. Smaller price rises and energy bills helped, and clothing
:08:59. > :09:04.and footwear also rose less quickly, but the main factor was here at the
:09:05. > :09:08.pumps. The fall of petrol and diesel prices. Wholesale prices were low
:09:09. > :09:12.towards January. The weather might have suppressed demand for fuel. It
:09:13. > :09:18.will be interesting to see what the supermarkets continue to do. Since
:09:19. > :09:22.the financial crisis, prices have been rising faster than earnings,
:09:23. > :09:28.meaning the amount of money in average pay packet will bring has
:09:29. > :09:32.effectively been falling. Today we have further evidence that this gap
:09:33. > :09:36.is now narrowing. Here is the picture. The red line shows the rate
:09:37. > :09:41.of inflation over the last 13 years, and it's sharp rise, much of
:09:42. > :09:46.it since the recession. Now look at the blue line to see how wages have
:09:47. > :09:50.failed to keep up. But it may not be too long before they meet and we
:09:51. > :09:58.start to see real rises in average pay. The latest numbers,
:09:59. > :10:03.manufacturing pay growth is growing quite rapidly. Construction growth
:10:04. > :10:06.is rising year on year. Over the next few months, we will see the
:10:07. > :10:10.rest of the economy picked up as well. But judging by the people we
:10:11. > :10:16.spoke to in a rainy Birmingham this morning, there is no feel`good
:10:17. > :10:19.factor just yet. Our salaries have stayed the same for years on end and
:10:20. > :10:24.we still have the same bills. It just seems like every day everything
:10:25. > :10:27.is going up in price, and they are trying to rectify things with
:10:28. > :10:33.salaries, but it is just not good enough. Most economists believe
:10:34. > :10:39.inflation will remain below the Bank of England's 2% target for the rest
:10:40. > :10:44.of this year, easing pressure on it to raise interest rates. Not so good
:10:45. > :10:51.for savers, but perhaps the end of the big financial squeeze on
:10:52. > :10:55.households is finally in sight. Our chief political correspondent is
:10:56. > :10:57.in Westminster. We have heard about lot of political arguments over
:10:58. > :11:02.recent months about the cost of living. How far will these figures
:11:03. > :11:05.go in changing that? I think they changed in the sense that the
:11:06. > :11:09.figures are hugely politically symbolic, because were the first
:11:10. > :11:14.time in a long time, for most people, pay is now increasing as
:11:15. > :11:17.fast as prices, so if you work in the private sector, which most
:11:18. > :11:22.people do, roughly around two thirds of people work in the private
:11:23. > :11:27.sector, pay is increasing at 1.7%. We have learned that inflation has
:11:28. > :11:32.come down to 1.7%. Pay and prices are now neck and neck for most of
:11:33. > :11:36.us. You would imagine, for ministers, this would be an occasion
:11:37. > :11:39.to do a little high then the jig in the corner of their office, but it
:11:40. > :11:43.has not been because most of us probably do not feel any better off
:11:44. > :11:48.at the moment, and also, it is a very different story in the public
:11:49. > :11:52.sector, where pay is still well behind prices increasing at just
:11:53. > :11:57.0.5%. There is another reason, and that is because ministers have got
:11:58. > :12:02.to sell some very difficult decisions and deficit reductions to
:12:03. > :12:06.the public in terms of LDM pounds worth of welfare cuts and filled in
:12:07. > :12:14.for the next election. `` ?12 billion. Today's figures are more
:12:15. > :12:17.problematic for Labour, because though they could argue that people
:12:18. > :12:23.will still be worse off than they were at the last election, you sense
:12:24. > :12:27.that gradually the tide is beginning to go out on the whole cost of
:12:28. > :12:33.living arguments, as slowly, pay creeps up to prices, with
:12:34. > :12:43.suggestions that by the second half of this year, pay will have
:12:44. > :12:46.overtaken prices. 14 people are now known to have died
:12:47. > :12:51.in a massive mudslide in the American state of Washington. But
:12:52. > :12:54.scores of people are still missing after the mud and debris swept
:12:55. > :13:02.through the town of Oso near Seattle. The authorities say they're
:13:03. > :13:05.still trying to account for more than 170 people who've not been
:13:06. > :13:10.heard from since Saturday. Are there any injuries? Yes, there are people
:13:11. > :13:14.yelling for help! A desperate call to the emergency services as a
:13:15. > :13:18.deadly tide of mud and rock crushed everything in its path. Houses were
:13:19. > :13:25.swept off their foundations, trees keeled over, and people were sucked
:13:26. > :13:30.into the sea of mud like quicksand. We were tumbled inside and had much
:13:31. > :13:36.in our eyes and nose and mouth. IM really grateful to be alive. From
:13:37. > :13:40.the air, it is possible to see the scale of the disaster. Weeks of
:13:41. > :13:44.unusually heavy rain had stopped and the ground, and then without
:13:45. > :13:50.warning, eight slice of the hillside collapsed into the river valley.
:13:51. > :13:54.There were frantic efforts to dig people out of the mud. One local
:13:55. > :14:00.resident heard screams and ran over to find a baby at his mother `` and
:14:01. > :14:07.his mother worried the need the debris. He used chainsaws to get
:14:08. > :14:10.them out arrived `` alive. It was just all debris. Another narrow
:14:11. > :14:16.escape, AIPAC dog pulled from the rubble. `` a pet. This family could
:14:17. > :14:23.not believe their luck. But others felt helpless and overwhelmed in the
:14:24. > :14:27.face of such distraught Ocean. `` this traction. We stayed back from
:14:28. > :14:32.the river, but unfortunately, we uncovered bodies, and we had to
:14:33. > :14:37.contact authorities to try and get somebody to come down and remove
:14:38. > :14:43.them. When help arrived, many used dogs, and others took to boats and
:14:44. > :14:46.even a hovercraft. It was dangerous work. Some rescuers got stuck in the
:14:47. > :14:51.mud themselves and had to be pulled out. This was a quiet community of
:14:52. > :14:56.180 people, but it did not stand a chance when a wall of mud, 1,500
:14:57. > :15:03.feet wide and 600 feet high on the crashed down on top of it. There
:15:04. > :15:07.were contractors coming in, people coming to work on their homes and

:15:16. > :15:17.it came it just the wrong time. The hopes for survivors is fading.
:15:18. > :15:32.No`one has been found since Saturday. Royal Mail says it is
:15:33. > :15:36.cutting 1600 jobs, mainly in managerial roles and at its head
:15:37. > :15:41.office. Consultations are now taking place with unions. Honda has also
:15:42. > :15:47.announced it is cutting production at its Swindon factory, leaving 340
:15:48. > :15:51.jobs at risk. They are the people who keep our
:15:52. > :15:56.letters and parcels moving 24 hours a day. In recent years, rank and
:15:57. > :16:01.file staff at Royal Mail have been at the front line as tens of
:16:02. > :16:05.thousands of jobs have gone. Now, five months after privatisation, the
:16:06. > :16:11.company has announced a new cost`cutting plan. This time, it is
:16:12. > :16:16.managers being targeted. The efficiency programme will see 1600
:16:17. > :16:22.managerial roles go, although 300 new posts are being created. It is
:16:23. > :16:27.expected to save the company ?50 million a year. In total, more than
:16:28. > :16:32.50,000 staff have left Royal Mail over the past decade. I'm
:16:33. > :16:36.disappointed by the way it happened and I'm surprised by the number that
:16:37. > :16:41.has been announced. We expected something to happen
:16:42. > :16:47.post`privatisation but the scale is very much a surprise to our members.
:16:48. > :16:50.There was bad news at Honda's Swindon plant today as well. Three
:16:51. > :16:56.and 40 full`time staff will lose their jobs, a further 160 agency
:16:57. > :17:01.workers will not have contracts renewed. The plant will suspend one

:17:08. > :17:12.demand from the continent. Europe is a marketplace has been very
:17:13. > :17:16.difficult, not just for us but other manufacturers as well. 90% of
:17:17. > :17:21.Swindon production goes into Europe so it is sensitive to a downturn in
:17:22. > :17:25.demand there. Just last week, the Chancellor outlined measures to
:17:26. > :17:29.boost manufacturing and exports. Today, visiting a steel plant in
:17:30. > :17:35.Wales, he insisted jobs were being created. We've had announcements in
:17:36. > :17:39.the last few days of thousands of jobs being created in construction,
:17:40. > :17:43.in the pub industry and of course here we are at the heart of
:17:44. > :17:46.manufacturing and there was a huge investment in the future of
:17:47. > :17:50.manufacturing in the budget. Any individual job loss is a matter of
:17:51. > :17:56.great regret but jobs are being created in Britain and the economy
:17:57. > :18:00.is moving forward. Back in Swindon, Honda said it is confident about the

:18:57. > :19:00.is considered one of the best locations in the world to harness
:19:01. > :19:04.it. Thousands of wind turbines are already helping to deliver wind
:19:05. > :19:09.energy to Britain, but critics have long complained that the turbines
:19:10. > :19:16.used are made abroad. Now, Siemens has announced it is creating 1000

:19:27. > :19:31.These docs have seen better days. There has been steady decline here,

:19:39. > :19:41.will cost ?300 million and be the UK's home of wind turbine
:19:42. > :19:49.manufacturing. All backed by Siemens. This is about starting in
:19:50. > :19:53.industry. The UK is the world's biggest wind market. The Humber is
:19:54. > :19:57.where many of the wind farms will be built. It has great natural
:19:58. > :20:01.resources, great local employment possibilities. We've looked at 100
:20:02. > :20:11.sites and we decided to choose whole. `` Hull. This whole area will
:20:12. > :20:18.be regenerated. Giant turbines on ships, rotors manufactured and
:20:19. > :20:21.exported from here. And with it, a belief that this will create a
:20:22. > :20:28.European renewable energy capital right here in Hull. To six lead,
:20:29. > :20:42.Hamid is to rise to the challenge. 1000 jobs will be created. `` to
:20:43. > :20:51.succeed, Hull needs to rise. This college is already creating students
:20:52. > :20:56.to build a demand. Siemens coming into the area will be absolutely
:20:57. > :21:01.fantastic. Not just the economy of whole. The government wants the UK
:21:02. > :21:05.to take lead. It says 11% of electricity produced last month was
:21:06. > :21:10.from wind power. That number will grow with thousands of new turbines
:21:11. > :21:16.already planned for the North Sea. It is great news for the UK,
:21:17. > :21:19.brilliant news for wind industry and our energy security. Bringing 1000
:21:20. > :21:22.green jobs in high`tech manufacturing to the north`east of

:21:52. > :21:55.Pistorius said he thought she was an intruder. Andrew Harding was in

:22:00. > :22:06.different from those read out yesterday. Yes, yesterday remember
:22:07. > :22:23.we heard rebid steam camp text in that she was angry. `` Reeva
:22:24. > :22:28.Steenkamp. We heard she was scared, he was jealous and angry. Today, the

:23:10. > :23:12.against Oscar Pistorius. The defence has now asked the two days to
:23:13. > :23:19.prepare themselves and talk to other witnesses. Then it is likely that
:23:20. > :23:23.Oscar Pistorius will be the first on the stand on Friday. One of his
:23:24. > :23:28.lawyers did tell me that was not guaranteed, it is possible he could
:23:29. > :23:33.come later. I managed to have a brief word with Oscar Pistorius as
:23:34. > :23:36.he was walking out of the court. He was looking very sombre and spoken
:23:37. > :23:41.almost a whisper. I asked to be was ready to give evidence and whether
:23:42. > :23:50.he felt the case was going OK. He simply said it is a tough time,
:23:51. > :23:53.there is a lot of stuff ahead. Relatives of a young soldier who
:23:54. > :23:57.died at barracks in Surrey nearly 20 years ago have been told they can
:23:58. > :24:03.apply to the High Court for a new inquest. Private Cheryl James, who
:24:04. > :24:07.was 18, died from gunshot wounds. She was one of four soldiers to die
:24:08. > :24:12.there during a seven`year period, sparking allegations of bullying and
:24:13. > :24:16.abuse. A happy, bubbly teenager. Private
:24:17. > :24:22.Cheryl James died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Her body
:24:23. > :24:28.was found on the outskirts of the barracks. The army said her death
:24:29. > :24:33.was a suicide. Surrey Police investigated, but there were no
:24:34. > :24:37.prosecutions. It took years for the family to have the evidence released
:24:38. > :24:43.to them. It has now finally led to the prospect of a new inquest. It is
:24:44. > :24:47.a vindication. My daughter has not had justice and finally we have a
:24:48. > :24:51.pretty important character in the legal system who has agreed with
:24:52. > :24:56.ours. We've always been very confident that this day would come.
:24:57. > :25:01.The more we learned about her case and her death, the more we were sure
:25:02. > :25:06.that this has not been properly investigated. If a decision is taken
:25:07. > :25:11.here at the High Court to approve the new inquest, the Ministry of
:25:12. > :25:17.Defence says it will provide support when needed. It has faced years of
:25:18. > :25:23.allegations of a cover`up and claims it failed its soldiers time after
:25:24. > :25:27.time. Cheryl James was one of four young recruits who died with the
:25:28. > :25:32.uncut `` gunshot wounds at this barracks. A series of investigations
:25:33. > :25:35.found evidence of bullying and abuse of the barracks, but calls for a
:25:36. > :25:42.full public enquiry have been refused. The authorities have
:25:43. > :25:49.persistently shut the families down and tried to quite listening ``
:25:50. > :25:52.literally close ranks. Families have looked to other institutions to help
:25:53. > :25:59.them, such as the police, but they have failed them. Private James's
:26:00. > :26:10.family now face a six`week wait to see if an inquest is approved.
:26:11. > :26:15.This winter was an usually wet and mild but according to a new store at
:26:16. > :26:20.the `` a new study at The Met office, it could be a sign of things
:26:21. > :26:27.to come. Summers are expected to be hotter and drier. What does the
:26:28. > :26:33.future look like? The headline is more of everything.
:26:34. > :26:36.They are open about the fact there is a lot that they don't know, but
:26:37. > :26:44.they reckon they have honed in on two trends. With Winters, the trend
:26:45. > :26:49.is for milder, wetter winters of the kind we've just seen. But there is
:26:50. > :26:55.also potential for the extreme cold we saw three winters ago. Summers,
:26:56. > :26:58.they say the trend is for hotter, drier summers, but there is still a
:26:59. > :27:04.potential for that terrible wash`out summer we saw in 2012. It is a very
:27:05. > :27:11.difficult challenge for them to pick the different factors apart.
:27:12. > :27:15.Why is it so difficult? We are a relatively small island on the edge
:27:16. > :27:20.of a very large ocean. So we receive a whole host of
:27:21. > :27:25.different factors at work ` whether the North Atlantic is getting
:27:26. > :27:29.warmer, for example. It is one thing to try to establish global trends
:27:30. > :27:36.for temperature or rainfall, but much harder to zero in on a
:27:37. > :27:40.relatively small piece of the Earth. There is one phrase that will
:27:41. > :27:46.attract a lot of interest. Human hand is detectable in some of
:27:47. > :27:48.this. That's right, they are cautious about whether global
:27:49. > :27:52.warming will necessarily mean more extreme weather in Britain, but they
:27:53. > :27:55.reckon may can detect it in a couple of ways.
:27:56. > :28:01.One is in summer heat waves. There is a greater risk of heat waves as
:28:02. > :28:04.the average temperature goes up. And also the intensity of rainfall.
:28:05. > :28:08.Warmer air can hold more moisture which at some point has the ball
:28:09. > :28:17.down, see you get a greater risk of increased intensity of rainfall. ``
:28:18. > :28:20.has to fall down. But the big unknown is the Jetstream we know so
:28:21. > :28:24.much about. They cannot pin down what is driving that and until then
:28:25. > :28:28.we will not know the certain what we are in for.
:28:29. > :28:38.What about today? Well, yesterday was lovely and sunny for much of the
:28:39. > :28:42.UK. Today is a different story. It is a cloudy picture. It has been
:28:43. > :28:47.heading eastwards, it will now turn around and work its way back
:28:48. > :28:52.westward is. And a need that it is largely disappointing with quite
:28:53. > :28:58.cold conditions, damp as well. There are some brighter weather drifting
:28:59. > :29:03.in from the North Sea with spells of sunshine developing in Yorkshire and
:29:04. > :29:07.Lincolnshire. East Anglia are doing quite well this afternoon. But under
:29:08. > :29:16.the rain, six or seven degrees is typical for many. Not a great feel
:29:17. > :29:19.at all. Something a bit brighter across Cornwall although it is
:29:20. > :29:24.clouding over in Devon without rain setting in through the afternoon.
:29:25. > :29:27.The western extremities of Wales should be drier and brighter and in
:29:28. > :29:32.Northern Ireland it is much brighter than yesterday. Similar temperatures
:29:33. > :29:35.in the North of Scotland where it should essentially be drier. Central
:29:36. > :29:41.southern areas will see a bit of patchy rain. This evening, the band
:29:42. > :29:45.of rain works westwards and the further east you are, the clearer
:29:46. > :29:49.the skies. Things could get a bit frosty but I think for many of the
:29:50. > :29:58.Premier League match as it should be essentially dried. Maybe just a spot
:29:59. > :30:01.of rain at the Manchester match. For the east overnight some holes in the
:30:02. > :30:07.east overnight some holes McLeod allow a touch of frost in a few
:30:08. > :30:12.places. `` holes in the cloud. Wednesday will be chilly, especially
:30:13. > :30:19.along the north`east coast. A fair bit of cloud along the east which
:30:20. > :30:22.will bring in some showers. A bit of snow across the Pennines. Showers in
:30:23. > :30:33.the West but there should be sun`dried bright weather across of
:30:34. > :30:39.Scotland. Thursday keeps the easterly wind. Quite blustery
:30:40. > :30:42.conditions. A fair bit of cloud and showers, most in the West and the
:30:43. > :30:46.South but there will be further showers coming in from the North Sea
:30:47. > :30:54.later on. Those temperatures still struggle. So a chilly breeze that
:30:55. > :30:55.will bring rain to some areas. Hopefully a bit warmer for the
:30:56. > :31:05.weekend. Our top story: In China, desperate
