:02:03. > :02:12.The government insists most public sector workers have reported for
:02:13. > :02:18.work today. This is what frustration looks like. Today around 1 million
:02:19. > :02:22.public sector workers, downed tools and picked up placards. Fed up with
:02:23. > :02:28.pay freezes, salary caps and working conditions, union members say that
:02:29. > :02:33.this is the only way to make the government set up and listen. So who
:02:34. > :02:38.exactly has gone out question mark today's action involves several
:02:39. > :02:44.unions. Teachers, council workers, civil servants and some firefighters
:02:45. > :02:48.are taking part in the strike. As you can see, thousands of people
:02:49. > :02:52.have turned up here in the centre of Birmingham, to make their voices
:02:53. > :03:00.heard. All across the country members have manned picket lines and
:03:01. > :03:05.attended rallies and marches. Among the strikes, firefighters walked out
:03:06. > :03:09.in Gateshead, Unison members demonstrated in York, Scotland was
:03:10. > :03:12.also affected in Dundee. There was action in Northern Ireland and
:03:13. > :03:18.Swansea. And thousands turned out in London. Away from the picket lines,
:03:19. > :03:23.this is what the unions say is the reality. Chris Black is a union
:03:24. > :03:29.branch secretary, but she's also a single mother, who works for
:03:30. > :03:35.Somerset County Council. On a salary of ?16,000, she says a pay rise of
:03:36. > :03:39.just ?400 in three years is turf. We have had a pay freeze for a number
:03:40. > :03:45.of years, in the last year they offered us a 1% pay rise, we took
:03:46. > :03:49.that. But really what it amounted to was about 10p per hour more. They
:03:50. > :03:56.have offered is 1% again this year, but it will not work. I cannot
:03:57. > :04:03.afford just 1% pay rise, to continue to pay my bills. Not surprisingly
:04:04. > :04:06.not everybody is happy about the action, services are disrupted and
:04:07. > :04:12.not for the first time this year some parents have had to take time
:04:13. > :04:16.off work. It has been a big hassle, we got to know about it last week
:04:17. > :04:21.which did not help. It's the second or third time this year. We are
:04:22. > :04:25.running out of patience. If it is unavoidable, but it has caused lots
:04:26. > :04:31.of disruption you know. When we're working. Alongside the
:04:32. > :04:35.inconvenience, questions about the validity of this type of action.
:04:36. > :04:40.Based on union ballots with such low turnouts. The government says it's
:04:41. > :04:45.now looking at whether to introduce tougher anti-strike clause in the
:04:46. > :04:47.future. When unions go on strike it is hard working people that suffer
:04:48. > :04:54.the consequences the most, vulnerable people that depend on
:04:55. > :04:58.public services, parents that have to take a day off work because their
:04:59. > :05:01.local school is closed, these strikes risk damaging those who are
:05:02. > :05:09.working hard to get the country moving against white teachers simply
:05:10. > :05:15.cannot work until they are 68. There is a system of pay, there is no
:05:16. > :05:20.indication it will improve standards and they have abolished the national
:05:21. > :05:23.pay scale. There may have been a party atmospheric many events but
:05:24. > :05:29.the messages have been loud and clear, and the unions say that the
:05:30. > :05:31.Well, marches are taking place in cities
:05:32. > :05:34.across England, in a moment we'll speak to our industry correspondent
:05:35. > :05:36.John Moylan in Birmingham, but first Sophie Hutchinson who's in
:05:37. > :05:47.You can see behind me several thousand people have flooded into
:05:48. > :05:51.Trafalgar Square to protest. Many more who are sneaking down Regent
:05:52. > :05:58.Street, in central London to join the elite. They represent a number
:05:59. > :06:02.of unions, more than six of them here today, the Fire Brigades
:06:03. > :06:08.Union, Unison, National Union of Teachers to name but a few. You can
:06:09. > :06:12.see the banners waving in the wind. They represent council workers,
:06:13. > :06:16.refuse collectors, librarians, teachers and firefighters, NHS
:06:17. > :06:22.workers. The main complaint from most of them is overpaid. The public
:06:23. > :06:34.sector workers insist that over the last four years they have seen a pay
:06:35. > :06:38.freeze -- it is over pay. They say they are ?4000 worse off per year,
:06:39. > :06:42.since 2010. These thousands of people today is just a small
:06:43. > :06:48.proportion of those taking part in this mass strike. STUDIO: Sophie,
:06:49. > :06:53.thank you. John, big strikes in Birmingham, could there be more to
:06:54. > :06:56.come? Possibly yes, there has been a big demonstration here, the union
:06:57. > :07:01.members have left and they are marching around the city centre.
:07:02. > :07:07.What is at the heart of this, the issue of public sector pay, the 1%
:07:08. > :07:10.payoff in local governor. Today, the LGA representing local government
:07:11. > :07:13.says that is the limit of what can be afforded, it is not the same as
:07:14. > :07:19.saying it is an absolute final offer. I have been speaking to Dave
:07:20. > :07:23.Prentis, leader of Unison, he has made clear union wants to talk and
:07:24. > :07:28.they want to negotiate and sort it out. Unison intend to assess today,
:07:29. > :07:32.to see the strength of feeling among the members and see whether it can
:07:33. > :07:36.elicit some sort of response from the employers. There is talk in
:07:37. > :07:40.union circles of two more days of industrial action in September.
:07:41. > :07:44.Unison has said it intends to ballot members in the health service, it
:07:45. > :07:48.has hundreds of thousands of people in the health service. There's a
:07:49. > :07:50.possibility if the ballot takes place and they vote for industrial
:07:51. > :07:54.action that in the autumn we could see a repeat of the events, but on
:07:55. > :07:58.bigger scale. Thank you for joining us.

:08:04. > :08:09.The Prime minister insists that the government is acting to keep
:08:10. > :08:11.people safe by ensuring that the police and security services
:08:12. > :08:14.can retain existing powers to access the data they need.
:08:15. > :08:18.The move follows a recent ruling by the European court of Justice -
:08:19. > :08:20.which would have meant such data could be deleted.
:08:21. > :08:29.Our security correspondent Gordon Corera reports. In the
:08:30. > :08:34.modern world we are communicating more and more. But how much should
:08:35. > :08:38.the state have access to those communications? Government officials
:08:39. > :08:42.say it is Powers which are vital to deal with a growing range of threat,
:08:43. > :08:45.and today the Prime Minister made the case of a new emergency
:08:46. > :08:51.legislation to be presented before Parliament next week. We face real
:08:52. > :08:54.credible threats to our security, from serious organised crime, the
:08:55. > :09:00.activity of paedophiles, from the collapse of Syria and the growth of
:09:01. > :09:03.ISIS, and al-Shabab in East Africa. I am not prepared to be a Prime
:09:04. > :09:07.Minister that has to address the people after a terrorist incident
:09:08. > :09:11.and explain I could have done more to prevent it. Officials say being
:09:12. > :09:16.able to access data was vital in stopping the 2006 plot to blow up
:09:17. > :09:20.aeroplanes and every other county terrorist investigation in the last
:09:21. > :09:29.five years. As well as catching serious criminals. --
:09:30. > :09:34.counterterrorist investigation. The government says new legislation is
:09:35. > :09:39.needed to maintain existing powers, a case the Home Secretary made
:09:40. > :09:42.before Parliament. It can prove or disprove alibis, it can identify
:09:43. > :09:48.associations between potential criminals and it can try suspects
:09:49. > :09:51.and victims to the crime scene. At Westminster previous proposal for
:09:52. > :09:57.accumulation is data Bill which would have expanded powers all three
:09:58. > :10:02.party leaderships today agreed to back the new legislation, and
:10:03. > :10:07.critics pass proposal say this is because new powers are not added,
:10:08. > :10:12.and safeguards are being introduced meaning they are winning the back a
:10:13. > :10:15.temporary fix. Because this legislation will automatically
:10:16. > :10:20.delete itself in 2016 it forces something that we have been arguing
:10:21. > :10:24.for, a long time, complete rethink of how the entire system works.
:10:25. > :10:28.Civil liberties groups will scour the legislation to see whether it is
:10:29. > :10:32.simply about maintaining existing powers. But they will not have long,
:10:33. > :10:33.since the legislation will be introduced into Parliament next
:10:34. > :10:39.week. Well,
:10:40. > :10:46.our chief political correspondent The government says this is about
:10:47. > :10:51.retaining, not expanding powers, but some will question that. There has
:10:52. > :10:55.been some opposition but it has been muted. Confined to a smattering of
:10:56. > :11:00.backbench MPs. It means bluntly this bill will almost certainly become
:11:01. > :11:03.law by the end of next week, its extraordinary given how contentious
:11:04. > :11:09.and divisive and controversial this sort of issue is. The reason the
:11:10. > :11:12.government has been able to garner such support is twofold, one,
:11:13. > :11:16.they've gone out of their way to Arsenal large the concerns of their
:11:17. > :11:25.critics who got Civil Liberties issues, -- to
:11:26. > :11:32.the biggest reason frankly is the very big picture painted by Mr
:11:33. > :11:40.Cameron and to Reza May. The Prime Minister said he knew of terror
:11:41. > :11:46.plots -- Theresa May. He knew they were thwarted because the security
:11:47. > :11:50.services had the power to monitor certain situations. Mrs May said,
:11:51. > :11:56.without this legislation, lives would be lost. In this context it is
:11:57. > :12:01.almost impossible or any MP who has Civil Liberties concerns to say
:12:02. > :12:10.never mind public safety, I have qualms about privacy. Because of the
:12:11. > :12:12.grave picture that Mrs May and Mr Cameron have painted, that is why
:12:13. > :12:14.there has been widespread support for the mission. Thank you for
:12:15. > :12:18.joining us. A woman has been stabbed to death
:12:19. > :12:22.while working at an NHS hospital The attack took place yesterday
:12:23. > :12:25.morning at the in-patient unit of Wotton Lawn Hospital,
:12:26. > :12:27.which treats people with acute It's thought the attack was
:12:28. > :12:30.carried out by a patient. A man in his sixties has been
:12:31. > :12:33.arrested on suspicion of murder. Let's speak to our correspondent
:12:34. > :12:43.Andrew Plant who's in Gloucester. What can you tell us? Well, Sophie,
:12:44. > :12:48.police were called here before 7:30am yesterday to reports a female
:12:49. > :12:51.member of staff, health care assistant received serious stab
:12:52. > :12:55.wounds. When they got here she was being treated by the doctors that
:12:56. > :12:58.work here, she was rushed down the road 200 metres to the
:12:59. > :13:01.Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, the doctors could not do anything for
:13:02. > :13:07.her and she died of her injuries about 8:30am yesterday. Now, the
:13:08. > :13:12.police yesterday arrested a man. Had not told a lot about him other than
:13:13. > :13:17.he's in his 60s -- they have not much about him. He's a patient here,
:13:18. > :13:25.police said still he's in custody still being questioned. This
:13:26. > :13:28.hospital has 88 rooms, but it only takes the most acute mental health
:13:29. > :13:31.patients from across Gloucestershire. You can imagine
:13:32. > :13:36.there are a lot of staff here, not just doctors and nurses, also
:13:37. > :13:40.psychotherapists, they also do painting therapy here. We've not
:13:41. > :13:44.seen a lot of activity today. Although in the last half now we
:13:45. > :13:47.have seen a police van arriving, there is forensically activity going
:13:48. > :13:51.on inside. Other than that no further statement from the police
:13:52. > :13:55.although we had a statement from the people that run this place, they
:13:56. > :14:00.said it would be inappropriate for them to comment further while the
:14:01. > :14:03.investigation is ongoing although they said their thoughts are with
:14:04. > :14:08.the family of the woman that has lost her life.
:14:09. > :14:10.The United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon,
:14:11. > :14:13.has warned that the situation in Gaza is on a knife-edge and
:14:14. > :14:17.Mr Ban said the region could not afford another full-blown war.
:14:18. > :14:20.He demanded that Hamas stop firing rockets at Israel and urged

:15:09. > :15:14.level of destruction remind of the power of Israel's military arsenal.
:15:15. > :15:18.There are calls for restraint in the international community but no sign
:15:19. > :15:23.that they're being listened to. Gaza is on a knife edge. The
:15:24. > :15:28.deteriorating situation is leading to a downward spiral which could
:15:29. > :15:34.quickly get beyond anybody's control. Israel says the air force
:15:35. > :15:39.tries hard to avoid civilian casualties. Before houses are
:15:40. > :15:44.bombed, warnings are telephoned to people inside, and a dummy missile
:15:45. > :15:50.is fired before the real one. The so-called knock on the roof. It does
:15:51. > :15:55.not always work. Israel today called the deaths of eight civilians in a
:15:56. > :15:59.house in Khan Younis on Tuesday a tragedy, saying that the victims had
:16:00. > :16:04.gone back inside to soon after the warning.
:16:05. > :16:12.The rocket fire continues from Gaza too. Islamic Jihad have been firing
:16:13. > :16:17.longer rain rockets than ever before, confirming they have been
:16:18. > :16:22.building better stockpiles of weapons, capable of reaching almost
:16:23. > :16:28.every city in Israel. The dome air defence system has been in action
:16:29. > :16:32.today. And the Israeli army continues
:16:33. > :16:38.slowly to gather forces on the border with Gaza. Their presence, a

:16:47. > :16:50.Previous rounds of hostilities like this have ended in ceasefires
:16:51. > :16:54.before. There's no sign we're anywhere near that point this time.
:16:55. > :17:01.It's not even clear for the moment who might be able to mediate between
:17:02. > :17:11.the warring sides. Jurors have at the inquest of Cherry
:17:12. > :17:19.Goose triggered the broix on the riots in 1985 found failures by
:17:20. > :17:23.police contributed to her death. -- Brixton.
:17:24. > :17:27.The Brixton riots were almost 30 years ago. Why has this come about
:17:28. > :17:34.now? It has come about now because she died in 2011. The inquest into
:17:35. > :17:37.her death has had to be held and obviously some preparations have
:17:38. > :17:40.taken part in that. It has been going on for the past week. What the
:17:41. > :17:45.inquest had to determine is whether or not the injuries that she
:17:46. > :17:49.sustained, all those years ago, contributed to her death. A
:17:50. > :17:56.pathologist said they did because she was more susceptible to
:17:57. > :18:07.illnesses. The inquest also had to look at the role of the police
:18:08. > :18:11.because it was a police officer, Inspector Douglas Lovelock who shot
:18:12. > :18:17.her and caused the injurings. In the finding which is damaging for the
:18:18. > :18:20.police, is that the Met failed to check properly and did not check who
:18:21. > :18:23.was living at the address before the raid took place. A number of
:18:24. > :18:27.failings found. As for the inspector, who gave evidence at the
:18:28. > :18:33.inquest, he stood trial a year later and he was in fact acquitted.
:18:34. > :18:38.Although he has told tin quest that he was responsible -- has told the

:21:45. > :21:50.So, questions too as to whether this will be money well spent.
:21:51. > :21:56.The French intelligence services say they have uncovered a plot by
:21:57. > :22:00.jihadists to blow up the Eiffel Tower, the luefr and even a -- the
:22:01. > :22:13.luefr and even a nuclear p plant. Egypted messages were found between
:22:14. > :22:18.a butcher and a Al-Qaeda member. Why are details being released now? The
:22:19. > :22:22.French Government, like the British Government are setting out the
:22:23. > :22:27.perimeters in the form of an anti- terror bill, which will give them
:22:28. > :22:34.the power to look at jihadi websites and the powers to stop these from
:22:35. > :22:39.travelling abroad. They told us about a plot, involving a
:22:40. > :22:49.29-year-old Algerian. He was working in south-eastern France. He had made
:22:50. > :22:54.contact with this Lieutenant. In the content of the messages, he was
:22:55. > :23:01.asked to identify targets. The Eiffel Tower and also nuclear sites
:23:02. > :23:06.and also bars and places where ordinary French people might gather.
:23:07. > :23:12.He had identified a festival, for example. The Lieutenant was suitably
:23:13. > :23:16.impressed and invited him to go to Algeria for ten days. When he
:23:17. > :23:21.returned he would be awaiting instructions. He was arrested en
:23:22. > :23:24.route to that meeting. The number of people on the waiting list for
:23:25. > :23:30.treatment in England has passed three million for the first time
:23:31. > :23:35.since 2008, according to the latest figures. The new President of the
:23:36. > :23:38.Royal College of Surgeons says the waiting time target should be
:23:39. > :23:42.reviewed so people with urgent conditions don't have to wait for 18
:23:43. > :23:49.weeks, while others could be asked to wait longer.
:23:50. > :23:53.Some operations such as hip replacements make a massive
:23:54. > :23:57.difference to patients. Waiting times for routine surgery in England
:23:58. > :24:04.are lower than ten years ago. That has been driven by targets to cut
:24:05. > :24:08.delays at every stage. Now, the new surgeons' leader said it is time for
:24:09. > :24:12.a debate. Could some patients wait longer? With more patients waiting,
:24:13. > :24:17.can the targets still be met? I would like to think it would be
:24:18. > :24:20.sustainable. People don't want to wait, quite clearly. One of the
:24:21. > :24:26.things I think we need to think about is, is 18 weeks too long for
:24:27. > :24:33.some people? And possibly, can other people wait longer? Around the UK,
:24:34. > :24:37.waiting times vary. In England and Scotland the target is for 90% of
:24:38. > :24:42.patients to be treated within 18 weeks. That's the time between your
:24:43. > :24:47.GP referral to hospital treatment, such as an operation. In Northern
:24:48. > :24:53.Ireland and Wales, patients face longer waiting times.
:24:54. > :24:58.Waiting figures published today show the target in England is being met.
:24:59. > :25:01.The number on the waiting list overall is now more than three
:25:02. > :25:05.million. A sign of the broader financial pressures in the health
:25:06. > :25:10.service. The whole system is under tremendous pressure in terms of
:25:11. > :25:14.money. That is clearly bursting out, potentially in terms of waiting
:25:15. > :25:17.times. It is the wrong thing is to start to change the targets,
:25:18. > :25:22.actually. The thing to look at is the budgets a tnd money. The
:25:23. > :25:27.Government has recently put more money into waiting. ?215 million in
:25:28. > :25:31.England to help with backlogs. It says there are no plans to
:25:32. > :25:36.reconsider the 18-week target. Labour also backs the target it
:25:37. > :25:43.introduced, saying cutting waiting was an historic achievement for the
:25:44. > :25:48.NHS. India's batsmen are building a big
:25:49. > :25:54.score in the first test against England at Trent Bridge. They
:25:55. > :26:02.started the second day on 259 for 4. Our sports correspondent is there.
:26:03. > :26:06.It is bright and breezy here in Nottingham. That is the weather. I
:26:07. > :26:13.don't think it is England's mood. A morning of toil for them. One wicket
:26:14. > :26:17.as a regard. I am sure India are enjoying their lunch.
:26:18. > :26:22.Much work goes into preparing a Test Match. At Trent Bridge they cover up
:26:23. > :26:29.the wicket, not out of shame, it is just in case it rains.
:26:30. > :26:34.For fast bowlers it is like old birthday cake - dry, steal, long
:26:35. > :26:40.past celebrating. Get the ball in, hope for a response. Dropped! An
:26:41. > :26:43.early chance missed to get rid of the captain.
:26:44. > :26:50.Vijay was in his zone of concentration. A steedy lot of runs.
:26:51. > :26:56.How do we get them out then, the body language screamed. It demands
:26:57. > :27:00.patience. A slow match is not necessarily bad. Five days of
:27:01. > :27:06.cricket means five days of paying public. There was Dhoni dancing to
:27:07. > :27:12.the ball to whack it for four. No doubt he was enjoying himself. As
:27:13. > :27:16.for James Anderson, not so sure! Could that man eat two ice creams
:27:17. > :27:22.before the next four? Vijay just about won. He had been batting since
:27:23. > :27:31.yesterday morning, not stopping. Four runs short of his 150, suddenly
:27:32. > :27:36.it seized. LBW to relief. Surprise! India refused to use the review
:27:37. > :27:41.system, so there was no way that Vijay could call for a replay.
:27:42. > :27:44.England may see that as some form of justice.
:27:45. > :27:51.India's captain is still at the crease. He'll resume on 81.
:27:52. > :27:58.In batting conditions here, which are in essence, still more Nagpur
:27:59. > :28:01.than Nottingham. An American pilot whose flight was
:28:02. > :28:04.forced to land because of bad weather managed to keep his
:28:05. > :28:10.passengers happy when they were forced to sit on the plane for hours
:28:11. > :28:17.on the ground. Speaking to BBC Radio captain Bradner ordered his decision
:28:18. > :28:22.to order 50 takeaway pizzas to be delivered to the plane. I ordered
:28:23. > :28:26.half cheese and half meat. That is the good choice in case somebody
:28:27. > :28:32.doesn't like meat. How many pizzas were there? 50 large ones. I tell
:28:33. > :28:37.you something, we are a big family here and we consider the passengers
:28:38. > :28:44.our extended family. Once they set foot on my aircraft I
:28:45. > :28:50.will take care of them. Who paid for the pizza? I did. Really? Out of
:28:51. > :28:55.your own money? Yes. Will you claim that money back now? Will your
:28:56. > :29:01.company reimburse you? The President of the company called me and
:29:02. > :29:08.insisted on reimbursing me. You are a hero. I just ordered pizza.
:29:09. > :29:10.Time for the weather now. There is some mixed weather around,
:29:11. > :29:16.isn't there? For the weekend as well. The
:29:17. > :29:22.satellite shows that mixed weather we have today. We are a lot of --
:29:23. > :29:26.have a lot of cloud in the east. Between plenty of sunshine to be
:29:27. > :29:30.enjoyed. That cloud in the east, that is quite a stubborn weather

:29:36. > :29:39.eastern England into western Scotland. West is best in terms of
:29:40. > :29:44.sunshine. Cloudy over Northern Ireland w a few outbreaks of rain.
:29:45. > :29:51.There'll be some decent sunshine to be enjoyed throughout the remainder

:31:00. > :31:02.sunshine. If you are lucky enough to head to T in the Park, Friday
:31:03. > :31:07.probably is going to be the better of the days. Sunshine around. By
:31:08. > :31:12.Saturday, the rain will head in across Scotland and turning fresher
:31:13. > :31:26.too into Sunday. All in all, we have things turning wet across the
