Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
It's the most significant reshuffle of his cabinet since the | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
David Cameron has been unveiling the changes this morning which are | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
The biggest surprise was the departure of Michael Gove | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
from his job as Education Secretary and the appointment | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
of the relatively unknown minister, Nicky Morgan, who takes his place. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
The new Foreign Secretary will be Philip Hammond after William Hague | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
announced his decision to step down last night. | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
Mr Cameron has now doubled the number of women in the Cabinet | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Our political correspondent, Robin Brant, reports. | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
Still and motionless on the outside, but behind the front door, David | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
Cameron is making big changes. It is the most significant shake-up of his | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
team since he became Prime Minister. And guess who is happy. Nicky Morgan | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
is the new Education Secretary. The Cabinet has a working mum in it once | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
again. She is one of several women who have been promoted. She will sit | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
alongside Liz Truss. Still in her 30s, she is the new Environment | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
Secretary. Esther McVey also gets to the top, kind. She will attend | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Cabinet but stays in her junior job as employment minister. The former | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
TV presenter will reprise what she did before politics. Expect to see | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
and hear a lot of on TV, pushing the Conservative case. Hello, my name is | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
Michael. You will hear a lot more hellos on the airwaves from this man | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
as the Conservatives go into full election fighting mode. Even though | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Michael Gove has been demoted today. He arrived at Downing Street to be | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
told he is out of education. Some saw him as a crusader for reform, | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
other hated -- others hated what they called his old-fashioned, | :03:27. | :03:27. | |
antagonistic approach. William Hague announced last night | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
he is quitting as Foreign Secretary, unusually he stays on in the cabinet | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
with a campaigning role. Philip Hammond steps up from defence to | :03:42. | :03:42. | |
become the new Foreign Secretary. Nicky Morgan takes over at | :03:43. | :03:58. | |
education. Liz Truss is now in charge at environment. Esther McVey | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
also attends Cabinet but she is not actually in it. There is a balance | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
between experience on the one hand and renewal. We are fortunate in our | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
party to have some extremely talented people, now coming to the | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
fore. So let's give them their opportunity. This reshuffle is | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
fore. So let's give them their two things, how the government | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
fore. So let's give them their and sounds to the voters. There is | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
also a message from David Cameron to the people inside his own party. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
With William Hague moving sideways and Hammond moving up, it is looking | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
a bit more Eurosceptic. The Tories are now clearly on an election | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
footing. Emotions for big hitters like William Hague means less global | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
campaigning with Hollywood stars, but more time to fight in the | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
marginals. More women are being promoted today, but the risk is, for | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
years in, it will be seen as presentation and little more. I | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
think politics has to look and sound like Britain. When three quarters of | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
the Cabinet are men, clearly like Britain. When three quarters of | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
has fallen short. It just so happens this reshuffle comes on the day and | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
pain is marked the anniversary of the birth of suffragette Emily | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Pankhurst. Long after she helped secure votes for women, the Cabinet | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
and Conservative Party remains dominated by men. | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
So among the biggest changes is Nicky Morgan's new job as | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
Education Secretary - replacing Michael Gove, who's overseen | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
the biggest shake-up of England's schools system for decades. | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
So what impact will the change have on teachers and pupils? | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
It is a new job indeed for the man who spent the past four years | :05:28. | :05:38. | |
transforming education according to his vision. Instead of Education | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
Secretary, Michael Gove is now Chief Whip. He | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
Secretary, Michael Gove is now Chief political move. The divisive | :05:48. | :05:57. | |
figure's radical reforms to schools and teaching have made him a hero to | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
figure's radical reforms to schools some at an enemy to many. He has | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
attracted vehement dislike from across the education establishment. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Made clear at one teaching union conference. Gove must go. Today | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
those same union celebrated his surprise departure from education. I | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
have been in education for over 30 years and I think Muckle Gove is the | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
most unpopular secretary of state for education with teachers that I | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
have ever experienced -- I think Michael Gove is. Despite the anger, | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
in some cases personal hatred directed at him, Mr Gove pressed on | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
with his vision. He changed the school curriculum, toughened up GCSE | :06:42. | :06:42. | |
and A-level exams and school curriculum, toughened up GCSE | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
growth of academies and free schools, even teachers more control, | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
allowing them to answer more directly to Whitehall and cutting | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
out what he called local bureaucracy. He brought passion to | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
the job to drive up standards. What he has done has got to work through. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
There are virtually no more changes he can make. He has been a great | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
change in education and it is better he goes on to something else. Less | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
than a year before the general election, a safe pair of hands has | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
taken over the education brief. Nicky Morgan, a working mother who | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
has quietly risen through the Whitehall ranks since being elected | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
in 2010. Were you brought in to make peace after Michael Gove? It is | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
unlikely she will undo Mr Gove's reforms or introduce radical ideas | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
of her own, but it is hoped a less toxic figure will help win back | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
support from teachers. As one of many new women in top jobs, it is | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
also help she -- hope she will help sell David Cameron's government to | :07:44. | :07:44. | |
voters. Our chief political correspondent, | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
Norman Smith, A far more extensive reshuffle, what | :07:47. | :07:56. | |
is your verdict? Normally they tend to be a nip and tuck job. This time | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
David Cameron has grabbed the Cabinet by the scruff of its lapels | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
and given it an almighty shake-up. He has fundamentally recast the | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
conservative side of the coalition in a reshuffle that is more radical | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
than anyone in Westminster had expected, not just in terms of the | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
names that have gone. William Hague leaving the Foreign Office, Michael | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Gove leaving education. But in terms of the public face of the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Conservative Party. It is an attempt to end the old school tie, old boy | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
image of the Conservative Party and bring in many more women, doubling | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
the number of women in the Cabinet, presenting a more feminine, more | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
voter friendly face to the electorate. We have also seen a | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
marked political shift, a much more hard edged Eurosceptic Conservative | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
side of the coalition. Not just with the promotion of Philip Hammond to | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
Foreign Secretary, a man who has openly countenanced leaving the | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
European Union, but in the demise of many what I would call euro | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
moderates, who have now left the government. What we are left with | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
is, in effect, a war cabinet, a campaigning cabinet with one eye on | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
the general election. What will be interesting is whether this shake-up | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
is sufficiently radical to promote the other two parties, the Liberal | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Democrats and the Labour Party, to carry out their own reshuffles. | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
And you can find the full details of the cabinet reshuffle on the BBC | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Egypt says it hasn't received an official response | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
from the Palestinians to its proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza. | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
Israel has approved the Egyptian plan but said | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
if the rocket fire into Israel didn't stop, it was prepared to | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Our Middle East correspondent, Yolande Knell, reports. | :09:40. | :09:49. | |
Smoke rising on the Gaza skyline once again. After an early-morning | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
Israeli strike. This building took a direct hit, leaving more | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Palestinians to pick through rubble for their possessions. The number | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
killed here has reached more than 190. But overnight, diplomatic | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
efforts to end the two-way violence gathered pace. This was an Arab | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
League meeting in Cairo. Egypt, a key player, said a time for a | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
cease-fire, in order to mediate a longer term deal -- set a time for a | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
cease-fire. Israel accepted but the factions in Gaza did not. We are | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
here at the main hospital in Gaza city, one of the few locations where | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
a mass officials feel they are safe enough from a possible Israeli | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
attack to come out and speak to the media. -- where how mass | :10:43. | :10:54. | |
the cease-fire proposal was discussed by everyone except us. We | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
will continue defending our people and fighting. We are fighting to | :11:00. | :11:07. | |
improve conditions. The cease-fire opposable is like an ambush. Soon, | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
more Palestinian rockets were fired from Gaza. Here they were | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
intercepted over the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon. As the | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
sirens sounded, locals went rushing for cover. Now with no truce in | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
place, Israeli officials are threatening to widen their military | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
action. No country would sit idly by while its civilian population is | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
subjected to terrorist rocket fire. Israel is no exception. If Hamas | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
rejects the Egyptian proposal, and the rocket fire from Gaza does not | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
cease, and that appears to be the case now, we are prepared to | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
continue and intensify our operation to protect our people. Large numbers | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
of Israeli troops remain along the Gaza border, awaiting orders. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Meanwhile, the strategic efforts to try to end the fighting continued. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
-- continue. In a moment we'll be speaking to | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
James Reynolds in Tel Aviv, We have heard that Israel has | :12:15. | :12:27. | |
resumed air strikes in Gaza, can you confirm that? We can confirm that, | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
we have seen those at strikes clearly from our rooftop position, | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
five to the south and east of the Gaza Strip and a couple of short | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
time ago to the North. Smoke has just dispersed from that. In the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
past few hours since the cease-fire was supposed to have come into | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
effect, about 40 rockets fired by Miller to and groups in Gaza into | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
Israel, including some of the longer range kind -- militant groups. One | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
reached high -- a city about 100 miles from here. Hamas says it wants | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
another of its activists released from Israeli jails and says it wants | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
to see an end to the border restrictions imposed by Israel and | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
Egypt. These were tightened after her master control of this small | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
coastal strip seven years ago. -- after Hamas took control of the a | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
lot of ordinary Palestinians we have spoken to agree there needs to be | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
those kind of political achievements to come out of this conflict, | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
especially after all of the bloodshed they have seen. | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
Our Middle East correspondent, James Reynolds, is in Tel Aviv. | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Israel is threatening to intensify its military action | :13:39. | :13:54. | |
It looks like that may be happening. It is a response to the rockets | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
fired by Gaza. We have just come back from Ashdod, a few miles from | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
Gaza. Week saw the damage caused by a rocket in a garden and we saw | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
arguments between Israelis, one woman called for peace and another | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
said Israel should continue its operation. We saw people shouting, | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
saying cease-fire, what cease-fire? They wanted their government to | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
continue. If they look weak and stop, | :14:27. | :14:38. | |
There's been an unexpected and sharp rise in inflation. | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
It rose from 1.5% in May to 1.9% in June - increasing the prospect of | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
There's also been another rise in UK house prices - the highest rate | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
for four years according to the Office for National Statistics. | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
Our economics correspondent, Simon Jack, has more. | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
the squeeze on consumer pockets is back on. | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
The cost of the national shopping basket went up faster than expected | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
in June. Inflation had been on a downward trend so today's jump, the | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
biggest in nearly two years, was a surprise. Prices rose by 1.9% in the | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
year to June, that is up from a rate of 1.5% in May. Almost The summer | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
sales are now, in July, last year the retailers went early because the | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
weather was not so good which means last year, in June, clothing and | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
footwear was a bit cheaper, making it look more expensive this time | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
around. Some of the rise came from food prices, they have been falling | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
in recent months as supermarket competition intensified, but in June | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
they stopped falling and levelled out. Inflation may well resume, | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
downward trend, but out. Inflation may well resume, | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
comes on the same day figures showed house prices rose 105% over the same | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
period. How will the Bank of England respond? -- 10.5%. They will not be | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
panicking over the raid, it is still below the targets, and sterling | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
could fall further. -- over the rate. The first rise will be next | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
year rather than this year we think. Remember wages are rising less than | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
1% per year on average, half the speed prices are going up, it means | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
that the cheque of -- at the check out, we feel poorer everyday. The | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
bank may wait for evidence that this is changing before making a move. | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
People using payday lenders will see the cost of borrowing fall | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
The financial regulator has imposed a cap on payday lending which means | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
no one will have to pay back more than twice the amount they borrowed. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
Last year around one and a half million people took out | :16:45. | :16:46. | |

Swansea. Thousands here are in trouble with payday loans. | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
Swansea. Thousands here are in borrowers in this seaside city have | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
been demanding a cap on costs. We managed to get a lot of the payday | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
companies to stop but we need more control. This mother of two, is | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
leading the campaign after the shock of having to pay back more than | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
twice what she borrowed. I was struggling, I was depressed, I would | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
not go out of the house, nobody knew. How much did you have to pay | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
back? Lou Makro sometimes doubled the amount, sometimes more with the | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
charges. What other costs, it is not only the high interest rates, you | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
can be charged just for having the money in your account or for a | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
faster transfer or for rolling over the lone longer or for paying back | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
the money later. The point of the cab is to try to put a limit on all | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
of the costs. The cap limits interest and fees to know more than | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
0.8% per day, ?24 per month on ?100, penalties, no more than ?15 | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
for paying late, total charges never more than 100% of the loan. This | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
catches the money shop, more than 100% of the loan. This | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
nearly costs ?30 a month, and Wonga, charging 1% per day. The industry is | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
warning this will limit the options for borrowers. What will happen to | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
those people when they need to pay their bills and they need to get | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
access to quick cash? They will turn to illegal lenders alter those | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
operating outside the UK. Some operators in Swansea have axed | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
payday loans already. The cab is expected to remove over 40% of the | :18:35. | :18:35. | |
lenders income. -- the cap. David Cameron unveils his most | :18:36. | :18:41. | |

to the Brandenburg Gate. It's Germany's fourth World Cup | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
victory and then its first Our Berlin Correspondent Stephen | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Evans has been Anticipation was sky-high. The | :19:37. | :19:57. | |
aeroplane carrying the side that won the World Cup did pass the city of | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Berlin and sent the fans below into orbit. CHEERING | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
And then, finally back on home soil, they got tetchy mulch was welcome as | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
the cavalcade drove slowly through the city. This team gave Germany | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
their fourth World Cup -- Jamaal . Jubilate shin across the country, | :20:21. | :20:31. | |
but concentrated at the Brandenburg gate in Berlin -- jubilate shin. The | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
side was presented to hundreds of thousands of fans at exactly the | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
same place where they watched the victory on Sunday. Then the | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
atmosphere was tense, today, it was extraordinary. The atmosphere, they | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
are going crazy. They are happy. It is a party, celebration. It seems | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
like the whole of Berlin has come to welcome the side, sometimes like the | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
whole of Germany. This nation was gripped by football fever. Now it is | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
gripped by the victory. Angela Merkel had already done her bit of | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
celebration, in the change in -- changing room with the team after | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
the victory. I up in the atmosphere a German astronaut did his own | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
celebration -- higher up. On planet Earth, in Germany, there has been | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
loud jubilate shin -- celebrations among the people. | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
He was the man who David Cameron was vehemently against - | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
but this lunchtime the former prime minister of Luxembourg, Jean-Claude | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
Juncker, has been officially confirmed as the new president | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
What will his appointment mean for the EU and the UK? Well, he won a | :21:49. | :22:02. | |
clear majority which gives him a mandate, to set up the next | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
commission and put forward his priorities. Top of which, everyone's | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
priority, more growth and more jobs, particularly for the 6 million | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
unemployed youth in southern Europe. It is clear the question of | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
Britain's relationship with the European Union will loom large | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
during the presidency. He did not mention it during a speech in | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
Parliament today even though it was one thing he said would be a | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
priority for him as he campaigned during the election. Obviously David | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
Cameron 's efforts to stop him were red bruise in experience, some | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
bridges are going to have to be rebuilt that it was a bruising | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
experience. Jean-Claude Juncker will now have to put forward his own | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
commission, he needs a representative from each member | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
state. This morning the Prime Minister has nominated Lord Hill, | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
leader of the House of Lords, as Britain's next EU Commissioner. It | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
is safe to say the nomination is something of a surprise. He's not | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
one of the names who were top of the list, being put about, rumoured. The | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
Prime Minister has put out a statement saying he has experienced | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
in government and the private sector, that he's a good negotiator. | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
Talking to people around here, I did a straw poll of British MEPs, the | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
response was Lord Hill, who? He will have to make himself better known in | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
Europe. And I guess better known to the British public if he is to be | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
one of the main people trying to sell back to the UK the reasons why | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Britain should stay in the European Union. Thank you for joining us. At | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
least 19 people have been killed in an accident on the Moscow Metro at | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
the height of morning rush hour. Scores were injured, some seriously, | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
when a packed commuter train braked abruptly between stations of the | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
city. The cause of the crash, one of the worst incidents ever on the | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
Metro, is reported to have been a power surge. | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
More nurses will be employed on acute hospital wards in England, | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
under new guidelines from the health regulator. | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
It's estimated the move will increase the NHS nursing budget | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
High death rates at the Mid-Staffordshire NHS Trust put | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
the focus firmly on safe staffing levels as our health correspondent, | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
Understaffed wards are dangerous for patients. | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
The shocking failing exposed by the Francis Inquiry | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
into Stafford Hospital has already resulted in more nurses. | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
The NHS is being told to be flexible and look at the patients needs on | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
each ward, the guidelines warn there is a risk of harm is one nurse is | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
caring for more than eight patients. It is thought the NHS in England | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
will need to spend around ?200 million extra on the budget, but | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
better care can be cheaper, preventing infections for example | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
could save up to ?700 million per year. There is argued we know more | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
important piece of work in the NHS at the moment -- arguably. Staffing | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
levels are an issue for members of the public, people want to feel | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
confident in the wards that they are admitted to. Nursing leaders have | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
welcomed the new advice but they warned some hospitals are already | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
struggling to recruit staff. We know there was a staff shortage across | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
the United Kingdom in relation to nursing and health care systems. We | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
also know that nursing is a great profession and lots more people are | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
coming into the profession. The plans say there should be an | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
immediate trigger to put on extra staff if patients are not getting | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
help with basic care. The government says it is a major step forward but | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
Labour is warning too many hospitals are currently working beyond their | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
capacity. Flying off on holiday is one thing | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
but imagine blasting off to an out of this world holiday | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
destination, like this? Some say space tourism from the UK | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
is only a few years away. And now a number | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
of locations are vying to build Only one will be chosen - | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
and the successful spaceport will also be used to launch commercial | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
satellites. In a few years time tourists could | :26:14. | :26:28. | |
be flocking to the tranquil north Wales coastline to go to space. By | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
2018, this airfield could be the place people come to, to go into | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
orbit. It seems like the stuff of science fiction. The government | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
really does want to have a launch site for space plane somewhere in | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
the UK. In just a few years, lots of people could be turning up to | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
airports wearing astronaut suits. And being sent into orbit. The plan | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
is to convert an existing airfield, such as this one in North Wales. | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
Space planes could be taking off from this very runway. Carrying | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
people and also British made satellites. The announcement was | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
made this morning. At the Farnborough airshow. We have a | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
success story of space in the UK which is growing and we have new | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
opportunities to seize, one of those is space tourism. There is not a | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
working space plane yet but companies are designing them. This | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
one takes off and it fires a spacecraft with tourists into space. | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
one takes off and it fires a seater for a joyride. And this space | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
plane can take satellites into seater for a joyride. And this space | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
and come back to earth. As well as this location, there are seven other | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
potential sites, one in England, and six in Scotland. Which has more room | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
of airfield close to the sea than any other part of the country. | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
remote airfields. We can see ourselves flying from Scotland, but | :28:06. | :28:12. | |
also new key. Satellites will be the first payload for the spaceport, | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
this will be a boost to British space companies like this one in | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
Guildford. The site for the spaceport will be selected next | :28:22. | :28:24. | |
March, when the UK can begin their long haul journey into space. | :28:25. | :28:31. | |
It is fairly quiet at the moment today, but it will be changing later | :28:32. | :28:41. | |
this week. Certainly for the rest of the afternoon sunny spells and | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
feeling warm. Most places dry, with a small risk of showers across | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
northern Scotland. Some breaks coming and going in the cloud giving | :28:51. | :28:52. | |
brighter spells throughout the afternoon. More sunshine compared to | :28:53. | :28:59. | |
yesterday. It will feel warmer. Temperatures 19-20 degrees. | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
yesterday. It will feel warmer. yesterday, still the mid-20s in the | :29:04. | :29:04. | |
London area. yesterday, still the mid-20s in the | :29:05. | :29:10. | |
northern England but we could see some brighter spells to finish the | :29:11. | :29:15. | |
day, or cloud in Northern Ireland and keeping the sunshine in Belfast. | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
Cloud across Scotland, well broken and risks of showers. The cloud will | :29:21. | :29:28. | |
continue over the West, turning murky across the south-west of | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
England and Wales with rain arriving for Northern Ireland and Scotland. | :29:33. | :29:36. | |
Dry in many central and eastern areas with breaks in the cloud and | :29:37. | :29:41. | |
another warm night. Around dawn, temperatures in the mid-teens. | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
Starting the morning, this area of cloud and rain is sitting in | :29:47. | :29:49. | |
Scotland and Ireland. It will be moving south, and it will be | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
brighter for Ireland. Showers moving into western Scotland. This front | :29:54. | :29:58. | |
will move through England, Wales and the south-west and we could see | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
heavy downpours throughout the afternoon despite the temperatures | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
still in the low 20s. Ahead of that we have the sunshine and we have | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
some heat with possible temperatures of 27 in London. The frontal system | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
will clear away on Thursday, it should be fine and dry with sunny | :30:15. | :30:19. | |
spells. Isolated downpours possible throughout the afternoon. Humidity | :30:20. | :30:23. | |
will increase, temperatures will be climbing. A lot of places reaching | :30:24. | :30:34. | |
up to 30 degrees, in the London area. It will be an uncomfortable | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
and muggy night, with temperatures holding up into the high teens. I | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
Friday, the humidity is more likely to trigger thunder. -- by Friday. At | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
the moment it looks like over south-west areas, pushing north, but | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
still high temperatures across the country. By the end of the week we | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
will have warm weather, high humidity and uncomfortable nights | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
for sleeping. We will increase the risk of thundery downpours | :31:04. | :31:05. | |
particularly on Friday and especially Saturday. The top story, | :31:06. | :31:15. | |
David Cameron has reshuffled his cabinet in the biggest government | :31:16. | :31:17. | |
shake-up since coming to power. | :31:18. | :31:18. |
