:02:06. > :02:08.says a future Tory government would impose tighter restrictions
:02:09. > :02:14.on people with extremist views. She told the Conservative conference
:02:15. > :02:17.in Birmingham that the proposals would include giving
:02:18. > :02:19.the police new powers to ban individuals from speaking at public
:02:20. > :02:21.events or attending rallies. But
:02:22. > :02:23.the new strategy has been criticised The former shadow home secretary,
:02:24. > :02:28.David Davis, said he believed the measures would have "real trouble"
:02:29. > :02:30.getting through Parliament Here's our political correspondent,
:02:31. > :02:44.Carole Walker. Security measures have become
:02:45. > :02:47.routine at conferences like this. The government's terror threat
:02:48. > :02:51.remains severe. But the Conservatives want to tackle
:02:52. > :02:56.extremist ideology which can ultimately lead to violence. This
:02:57. > :03:00.morning, the Prime Minister defended plans for new powers which he said
:03:01. > :03:04.would put the security and safety of the public first. The problem we
:03:05. > :03:10.have had is this distinction of saying we will only go after you if
:03:11. > :03:15.you are an extremist that directly supports violence, which has left
:03:16. > :03:19.the field open for a lot of extremists who know how to be
:03:20. > :03:23.careful not to step over the line. But frankly, these are people who
:03:24. > :03:28.have radicalised young minds, poisoned them and lead to people
:03:29. > :03:32.heading off to Syria or Iraq to take part in this ghastly slaughter. In
:03:33. > :03:36.her conference speech, the Home Secretary said a future Conservative
:03:37. > :03:41.government would bring in far reaching measures to tackle groups
:03:42. > :03:44.and individuals who spread hatred as part of a new counter extremism
:03:45. > :03:51.strategy. It will aim to undermine and eliminate extremism in all its
:03:52. > :03:56.forms. Neo-Nazis and other forms of extremism, as well as Islamist
:03:57. > :04:01.extremism. And it will aim to build up society, to identify extremism,
:04:02. > :04:08.confront it, challenge it and defeat it. She said the new strategy for
:04:09. > :04:11.tackling extremism would include banning orders for extremist groups.
:04:12. > :04:16.If the Home Secretary has a reasonable belief that an
:04:17. > :04:20.organisation has activities that spread, insight, promote or justify
:04:21. > :04:24.hatred, membership will become a criminal offence. Extremist
:04:25. > :04:29.disruption orders would be introduced for individuals deemed to
:04:30. > :04:33.be spreading hatred. They could be banned from speaking at public
:04:34. > :04:37.events, banned from broadcasting or face restrictions on their use of
:04:38. > :04:40.social media. The Home Secretary is making it clear that a future
:04:41. > :04:44.Conservative government would go much further than the coalition in
:04:45. > :04:48.taking on those who peddle extremist views. But some Tory MPs are
:04:49. > :04:53.concerned that some of the sweeping powers could undermine civil
:04:54. > :04:57.liberties and freedom of speech. These are quite incredible powers to
:04:58. > :05:02.limit democratic rights, rights that people have had for 200 years in
:05:03. > :05:06.this country. And they are based on the Home Secretary having a
:05:07. > :05:11.reasonable belief. That is the test, not evidence. A reasonable belief
:05:12. > :05:15.that an organisation will break certain criteria. The Home Secretary
:05:16. > :05:18.also said the Tories would revive plans which were torpedoed the
:05:19. > :05:22.Liberal Democrat to give the police and intelligence services access to
:05:23. > :05:24.internet communications data. But she could face a tough battle to put
:05:25. > :05:34.her plans into action. Carole Walker, BBC News, Birmingham. Let's
:05:35. > :05:40.speak to our political correspondent. Tough talk from the
:05:41. > :05:44.Home Secretary. How has gone down? Music to be is of the
:05:45. > :05:47.Conservatives. They love the sort of tough, uncompromising, no-nonsense
:05:48. > :05:52.security speech they got from Theresa May. They loved her language
:05:53. > :05:55.- I will not flinch, I will stand up to terrorism. The question is,
:05:56. > :06:01.though, how will it go down outside the hall? There, it got a far more
:06:02. > :06:05.muted reaction, with many Tories uneasy at the sort of powers Theresa
:06:06. > :06:09.May is seeking. These are powers which will not be focused on
:06:10. > :06:13.terrorists or those convicted of anything, but will be focused on
:06:14. > :06:16.people who espouse views which are anti-democratic or insight people
:06:17. > :06:23.towards racial discrimination or hatred. There is a clear concern
:06:24. > :06:27.that Mrs May may struggle to get this through Parliament. This
:06:28. > :06:30.follows the huge controversy we had yesterday, when George Osborne
:06:31. > :06:37.outlined his plans for further curbs on working age benefits.
:06:38. > :06:40.Considerable criticisms from welfare groups, charities and the Liberal
:06:41. > :06:43.Democrats. A short time ago, my colleague Nick Robinson asked the
:06:44. > :06:46.Prime Minister why he was pressing ahead with this two-year freeze on
:06:47. > :06:49.working age benefits. We have identified here, at this
:06:50. > :06:52.conference, that if you freeze those working age benefits for two years,
:06:53. > :06:54.that will save ?3 billion. I think there is
:06:55. > :06:57.a good justification for it, which is that if you take the years
:06:58. > :07:04.from 2007-2017, it will mean benefits are not growing faster than
:07:05. > :07:08.earnings, which is basic fairness. But isn't that something a
:07:09. > :07:11.policymaker would say and no family As someone tries to afford the food
:07:12. > :07:17.bill or the gas bill, they are not looking at a graph of how benefits
:07:18. > :07:21.have gone up compared with earnings. They are saying,
:07:22. > :07:22.we can't afford school uniform. I will tell you how we
:07:23. > :07:27.will help those families. You can earn ?10,500
:07:28. > :07:37.before you start paying tax. We have frozen, for many households,
:07:38. > :07:40.their council tax, which is a big bill people pay
:07:41. > :07:42.out of their post-tax income. So where we can help, we are helping
:07:43. > :07:48.every family in this country. But on the other hand, you find
:07:49. > :07:51.money to cut the tax for people who inherit pensions, you cut the price
:07:52. > :07:55.of buying a house, you cut the tax bill of millionaires, and then you
:07:56. > :07:58.say to hard-working families, I'm terribly sorry,
:07:59. > :08:00.you're going to have to lose. You will have to not have your tax
:08:01. > :08:03.credits keep up with inflation. Because we have also made sure the
:08:04. > :08:21.rich have paid their share. We have raised stamp duty
:08:22. > :08:25.on expensive homes. Yesterday,
:08:26. > :08:36.we announced to companies who come to Britain, we
:08:37. > :08:38.have said a 20% corporation tax The worst thing that could happen
:08:39. > :08:43.for Britain's families is to ignore It is a drag anchor on our economy
:08:44. > :08:50.and we have to deal with that. I think families in Britain
:08:51. > :08:55.understand that. It is a big statement of intent on
:08:56. > :08:59.curbing benefits and another big statement of intent on security.
:09:00. > :09:02.Both will of course delight natural Conservative supporters. We also had
:09:03. > :09:06.an announcement in Lahore earlier from Chris Grayling, the Justice
:09:07. > :09:10.Secretary, about getting rid of Xbox is an play stations from young
:09:11. > :09:15.offenders' institutions. To me, it all seems designed to galvanise the
:09:16. > :09:18.party faithful. There is a curious symmetry between the two main
:09:19. > :09:22.parties. Last week, we had Ed Miliband tried to fire up the Labour
:09:23. > :09:27.Party faithful with his big pledges on the NHS. This week, we have the
:09:28. > :09:31.Conservative Party, it seems to me, trying to fire up their party
:09:32. > :09:32.faithful with those big announcements on benefits and
:09:33. > :09:35.security. David Cameron's also promised that
:09:36. > :09:39.by 2020 people will be able to see their GPs at a time that suits
:09:40. > :09:42.them, with surgeries open longer Earlier this year, a pilot scheme
:09:43. > :09:51.in 20 areas allowed hundreds of surgeries to stay open all
:09:52. > :09:54.week and the government now wants But the body that represents GPs,
:09:55. > :10:01.the BMA, says doctors are already under "extreme pressure"
:10:02. > :10:03.and that the government is offering "promises tomorrow rather
:10:04. > :10:05.than solutions today". Here's our health correspondent,
:10:06. > :10:06.Dominic Hughes. The aim is more flexible opening
:10:07. > :10:09.hours at GPs' surgeries to fit in with patient hi family
:10:10. > :10:19.and work life. The government has already set out
:10:20. > :10:22.plans to try to achieve that Now it wants to extend the policy,
:10:23. > :10:26.with the goal a few years from now We do need to recognise in the NHS
:10:27. > :10:30.that expectations have changed. People don't always want to have to
:10:31. > :10:36.take time off work to see their GP. They want to sort out problems
:10:37. > :10:38.at the weekends as well. A ?50 million fund which started
:10:39. > :10:42.in April this year was available to of technology and collaboration to
:10:43. > :10:48.allow weekend opening. 100 million is now being committed
:10:49. > :10:51.for next year, and the Conservatives say that if re-elected,
:10:52. > :10:54.there would be more money to allow seven day a week access for all
:10:55. > :10:57.patients across England by 2020. But with the population growing,
:10:58. > :10:59.along with the needs of elderly patients, doctors' representatives
:11:00. > :11:04.have warned of unacceptable pressure and the possibility
:11:05. > :11:08.of a recruitment crisis. They say that under this government,
:11:09. > :11:11.the percentage of the health budget They claim today's announcement
:11:12. > :11:21.doesn't address the central We have large numbers of patients
:11:22. > :11:26.moving out of hospital and into the community, so we need to address
:11:27. > :11:29.the current pressures and the fact that we are not able to provide
:11:30. > :11:32.as accessible a service as we would like, before talking
:11:33. > :11:35.about what we believe are currently Ministers have also announced today
:11:36. > :11:37.that every patient in England will have a named GP
:11:38. > :11:40.accountable for their care. But Labour, which has a policy
:11:41. > :11:43.of guaranteeing a wait of no more than 48 hours for an
:11:44. > :11:46.appointment, said that despite this government's pledges, it had become
:11:47. > :11:58.harder to get to see a doctor. And Hugh is with me now. There is a
:11:59. > :12:02.feeling that we have heard this before. What is new? A year ago, the
:12:03. > :12:07.Prime Minister, at the Conservative Party conference, made this pledge
:12:08. > :12:11.that we have heard more about today, that he wanted to extend GP access
:12:12. > :12:17.so that people could get in, seven days a week. He set up this ?50
:12:18. > :12:21.million fund. There have been questions over whether in some of
:12:22. > :12:25.the pilot areas, it has made much of a difference. Now he is extending it
:12:26. > :12:31.and says that if re-elected, he wants it to go through to 2020. A
:12:32. > :12:38.new element is that he wants every patient to have a named GP. That was
:12:39. > :12:40.previously available for over 75s. This is an aspiration for next year
:12:41. > :12:46.and beyond. But what difference will it make? Du patients want it, or
:12:47. > :12:49.would they rather that they can see a GP within a couple of days rather
:12:50. > :12:52.than having access over the whole week? Will GP within a couple of
:12:53. > :12:55.days rather than having access over the whole week? Will GPs be able to
:12:56. > :12:58.me, if we are working weekends more, we will need days off during the
:12:59. > :13:04.week. So is the whole system going to get stretched? The British
:13:05. > :13:08.Medical Association, who protect the interests of GPs, say it does not
:13:09. > :13:12.address the fundamental pressures of rising population and increased
:13:13. > :13:16.workload. They say there is a recruitment crisis. New GPs are not
:13:17. > :13:20.just available to take the workload. They need to be trained. People
:13:21. > :13:22.don't want to do the job any more, and there is a funding problem not
:13:23. > :13:30.addressed by this announcement. Police in Essex have revealed that a
:13:31. > :13:33.deputy headteacher in Southend who was found dead earlier this month
:13:34. > :13:37.had been secretly filming young boys in the school changing room and that
:13:38. > :13:41.a local swimming pool. It is thought that Martin Goldberg killed himself
:13:42. > :13:44.after being questioned over allegations of possessing indecent
:13:45. > :13:46.images of teenage boys. Let's speak to our correspondent, who is in
:13:47. > :13:54.Southend. What is known about this man? At the
:13:55. > :14:00.school today, there was a real sense of betrayal. I can't believe that a
:14:01. > :14:03.pillar and dedicated teacher, who was the deputy head and a maths
:14:04. > :14:10.teacher, could have been taking these in -- indecent images. The
:14:11. > :14:15.headteacher said Mr Goldberg must have been leading a double life,
:14:16. > :14:18.because he is so shocked by what has come out. Three weeks ago, the
:14:19. > :14:24.police had some information and went to his house and asked to see his
:14:25. > :14:28.computer. The next day, Mr Goldberg was found dead. It is believed he
:14:29. > :14:33.killed himself. Police then found more than 600 indecent images. It is
:14:34. > :14:37.believed he took a camera hidden in his bag into the changing rooms at
:14:38. > :14:41.the school and into the changing rooms at a local swimming pool, and
:14:42. > :14:45.took pictures of boys around nine to 12 years of age. This has
:14:46. > :14:51.potentially been going on for 14 years. What is particularly shocking
:14:52. > :14:54.is that the police and crime commission is saying that Essex
:14:55. > :14:57.Police knew about this for nine-month. They knew there was
:14:58. > :15:01.information from Toronto that Mr Goldberg should be investigated for
:15:02. > :15:06.being involved with indecent films. It is not act on that for nine
:15:07. > :15:07.months, so there are serious questions for Essex Police about
:15:08. > :15:17.their investigation. Police fear a 15-year-old girl
:15:18. > :15:21.missing from her home in Bristol may be trying to reach Syria to join
:15:22. > :15:28.jihadists fighters. They have warned that naive Muslims are being tricked
:15:29. > :15:32.into joining extremist groups. What do we know about this disappearance?
:15:33. > :15:38.All morning, visitors have been turning up at the family home in the
:15:39. > :15:42.eastern area of central Bristol to offer support to the family of this
:15:43. > :15:47.teenage girl. They've told me they are shocked by this news, they've
:15:48. > :15:52.described the 15-year-old as talented, bright, outgoing, they say
:15:53. > :15:57.she comes from a large and loving family, and they are shocked at the
:15:58. > :16:01.speculation that she might have gone to Syria to join Islamic State. It
:16:02. > :16:05.is understood her parents went to pick her up from school on
:16:06. > :16:12.Wednesday, she was not there, they alerted the police. They suspect she
:16:13. > :16:16.may have gone to London, met up with an older girl, got on a plane at
:16:17. > :16:22.Heathrow then flown to Turkey with the aim of getting to Syria. The
:16:23. > :16:27.constable has said there are indications this girl may have been
:16:28. > :16:30.radicalised, but the family said a few moments ago there are no
:16:31. > :16:37.indications that is the case at the moment. In regards to her family,
:16:38. > :16:40.she is an intelligent, beautiful young lady who is missed by her
:16:41. > :16:46.family and that is all that matters at the moment. The family are
:16:47. > :16:51.appealing for privacy at the moment. Meanwhile, the police have said
:16:52. > :17:00.there priority is to find this 15-year-old before she crosses the
:17:01. > :17:05.border into Syria. The family statement goes on to say, we miss
:17:06. > :17:15.you very much, you are not in trouble. The message is, we want you
:17:16. > :17:19.to be safe, please come home. Pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong

:17:55. > :18:01.elections for Hong Kong's chief executive. We are here at one of the
:18:02. > :18:11.supply tents, where there are red, bananas, supply -- gas masks. Do
:18:12. > :18:17.people think Beijing will respond? I don't think they will listen because
:18:18. > :18:21.if they change their mind it will put them in a difficult decision of
:18:22. > :18:27.facing the problem of China, because maybe the people in China will think
:18:28. > :18:34.that they can copy the case in Hong Kong and then we'll be out of
:18:35. > :18:37.control. I think the normal practice of using force is not listening to
:18:38. > :18:41.the people but it is the right of people here to express what they
:18:42. > :18:49.want. I don't what the result will be. There is a real air of defiance
:18:50. > :18:53.in Hong Kong but some people here think the protesters are pushing
:18:54. > :18:56.their luck, demanding too much, and they fear that if the demonstrations

:21:46. > :21:49.sugary drinks. We need to reduce the amount of sugar. There is sugar in
:21:50. > :21:54.soft drinks, sweets, that is where they are getting it from. We need

:22:37. > :22:52.by 0.9% from April to June. Changes to the way GDP is calculated
:22:53. > :22:55.means the economy is now bigger and has grown faster than previously

:23:11. > :23:14.more significant ones, such as the money companies spend on research
:23:15. > :23:19.and development. However, although the economy is bigger, so is the
:23:20. > :23:22.national debt under the new methods. Into the calculation come, for
:23:23. > :23:27.example, network rail debt, and Royal Mail pension guarantees, big
:23:28. > :23:32.additions to the overall debt pile. That growing pile is a problem. It

:24:40. > :24:44.Saturday she was claiming alone, scouting a new route up Japan's

:24:49. > :24:56.right near the summit when Mount Ord Taki -- mount on Taki suddenly
:24:57. > :25:00.exploded without warning. It of a lot day. Suddenly I heard a noise. I
:25:01. > :25:06.looked back and I saw tonnes of ashes and rocks in the air. I
:25:07. > :25:10.crouched down. The smell of sulphur was very strong and I could not
:25:11. > :25:16.breathe. Then I saw lots of rock flying. I thought I was going to
:25:17. > :25:20.die. I thought I was going to be trapped in the gas and directly on
:25:21. > :25:29.the spot. I thought to myself, why did I here today? -- why did I come
:25:30. > :25:32.here. She jammed herself into a hole in the rocks, head there for an hour
:25:33. > :25:43.as the mountain exploded meters away. -- hiding there. I was hiding
:25:44. > :25:47.beneath the rock. Sometimes I could see, then suddenly it would go
:25:48. > :25:51.completely black. There were three big eruptions. The last was the
:25:52. > :25:56.biggest. That was when I saw a rock the size of a small car, and others
:25:57. > :26:06.the size of washing machines flying by. I could hear the noise of the
:26:07. > :26:10.rocks flying by. After one hour, the eruptions died down. She took a
:26:11. > :26:15.chance and ran for it, claiming down as fast as she could go. She knew
:26:16. > :26:22.there were many others back up there on the mountaintop. I wonder about
:26:23. > :26:27.those people I saw hanging around on the peak. People who were taking
:26:28. > :26:30.pictures and enjoying the view. It was a really beautiful day. People
:26:31. > :26:35.were having a great time. There was a lot of laughing, people were
:26:36. > :26:45.happy. Now I wonder what happened to them. I ask her if this. Going back
:26:46. > :26:48.to the mountains. She says she has already been and will go again
:26:49. > :26:56.tomorrow. The mountains are her life.
:26:57. > :26:59.At the beginning of the year we were telling you last
:27:00. > :27:04.Well, we're now at the end of a month which is likely to go down
:27:05. > :27:09.Meteorologists say the UK as a whole saw less than an inch of rain -
:27:10. > :27:12.and it's been one of the warmest Septembers since records began.
:27:13. > :27:14.Our correspondent, Sangita Myskar, is at Kew Gardens
:27:15. > :27:20.Just to give you some context, this September we've had about 20% of the
:27:21. > :27:24.rainfall we would expect in September, but the horticultural
:27:25. > :27:31.experts were saying do not worry, because mother nature is taking care
:27:32. > :27:36.of the plans. Bejewelled tree tops, plump fruit, and the perfect
:27:37. > :27:40.conditions for those of them jobs means here at Kew Gardens the driest
:27:41. > :27:45.September since records began is proving a treat. It is nature's
:27:46. > :27:48.showground and it will be spectacular this year. I've noticed
:27:49. > :27:54.the fruit in trees, the route in plans, they are bearing fruit better
:27:55. > :28:00.than ever. It will be a good season for autumn colour. Would I be right
:28:01. > :28:04.in thinking it might be the driest September on record but keep calm
:28:05. > :28:10.and keep gardening? Don't panic, nature is great, it will work out in
:28:11. > :28:14.the end. Not since 1959 has the UK experienced the September like it.
:28:15. > :28:22.Back then, sunbathers ran out to catch a late tan. This year, the
:28:23. > :28:24.country is far from parched. Heavy rainfall in January left fields
:28:25. > :28:30.flooded and brought misery to landowners. Then sporadic bursts of
:28:31. > :28:38.rain until August made it the wettest eight months on record.
:28:39. > :28:42.September has been abnormally dry. As we head towards the weekend,
:28:43. > :28:47.temperatures will recover closer to average and what we normally expect
:28:48. > :28:51.for the time of year. Probably will be needing those winter coats
:28:52. > :28:55.especially if you live in Scotland. For now, BBC viewers across the UK
:28:56. > :29:04.are capturing the first images of what promises to be a spectacular
:29:05. > :29:07.autumn. The other question for a nation of Gardners is whether to
:29:08. > :29:12.expect a hosepipe ban. According to the Environment Agency there as now
:29:13. > :29:17.plan at the moment because of that rain we had earlier in the year. --
:29:18. > :29:22.there is not a plan. Let's find out what is in store for the rest of us.
:29:23. > :29:26.Some will still be hoping for a bit of rain but be careful what you wish
:29:27. > :29:32.for because not 1 million miles away we are seeing record rainfall at
:29:33. > :29:39.Montpellier. Around half a year's worth fell in three or four hours.
:29:40. > :29:44.The clouds responsible for that has been pushing overhead but where is
:29:45. > :29:49.our art? It is waiting in the wings off Greenland. There will be a bit
:29:50. > :29:52.more in the way of rain. Even this afternoon we could have some more
:29:53. > :30:00.rain around in the UK, particularly the next few hours in Northern
:30:01. > :30:06.Ireland. It will push in in the evening. There is some good sunny
:30:07. > :30:11.spells to come. Cloudy in north-west England. The cloud could thicken up
:30:12. > :30:15.sufficiently to see some wet weather in Cornwall. Mostly dry and warm.
:30:16. > :30:22.Temperatures about where they should be. The exception is England, across
:30:23. > :30:30.parts of Kent and is. Some passing showers. -- Kent and Essex. In the
:30:31. > :30:34.West, if you want rain I cannot promise it because look at how it
:30:35. > :30:41.fragments as it heads eastwards. We do see some more wet weather in
:30:42. > :30:52.Scotland later. A dry night, fairly mild, with some fork taking us into
:30:53. > :30:56.the morning. Lovely, autumnal afternoon in store on Wednesday,
:30:57. > :31:05.called but dry. There will be closed compared with today. There will be
:31:06. > :31:08.some splashes of rain. Still lifting temperatures into the low 20s.
:31:09. > :31:16.Turning Calder across the North. That signals the start of a chilly
:31:17. > :31:22.night. Other than some splashes of rain in England and Wales it will be
:31:23. > :31:24.dry and bright. Change will come towards the north-west,
:31:25. > :31:29.strengthening wind touching gale force, heavy rain working in,
:31:30. > :31:34.through Friday night it will push across England and Wales. That will
:31:35. > :31:42.open the door to what we can call bottom. Expect temperatures to drop
:31:43. > :31:47.away -- autumn. We will see some windy weather and some wet weather
:31:48. > :31:54.as well. There will still be some sunshine. The top story this lunch
