:01:43. > :01:45.In his final party conference speech before the next general election
:01:46. > :01:50.David Cameron has been promising tax cuts for millions of people.
:01:51. > :01:52.He said he would raise the threshold at
:01:53. > :01:55.which people pay the higher rate of tax of 40% from just under ?42,000
:01:56. > :02:01.to ?50,000 if the Conservatives win the next general election.
:02:02. > :02:04.The Prime Minister also pledged to increase the amount people can earn
:02:05. > :02:06.before they pay tax by an extra ?2,000 to ?12,500.
:02:07. > :02:09.Mr Cameron said he wanted to bring back fairness back to taxation.
:02:10. > :02:21.From Birmingham here's our Political Correspondent Carole Walker.
:02:22. > :02:29.A big moment for the Prime Minister after more than four years in power.
:02:30. > :02:33.He strode towards the stage with his wife co-ordinated in blue to tell
:02:34. > :02:39.voters why they should put him back in power at the coming election. He
:02:40. > :02:44.knew they would be wanting some positive reasons to do so, after
:02:45. > :02:48.tough messages this week on benefits cuts, economic challenges and the
:02:49. > :02:55.threat from extremists. The Prime Minister said the Islamic State
:02:56. > :03:00.militants are evil and said Britain could not opt out of the campaign
:03:01. > :03:06.against them abroad and at home. As always with this party, we will do
:03:07. > :03:12.whatever it takes to keep our country safe. And to those, to those
:03:13. > :03:18.who have had all the advantages of being brought up in Britain, but who
:03:19. > :03:24.want to go and fight for Isil, let me say this. If you try and travel
:03:25. > :03:29.to Syria or Iraq, we will use everything at our disposal to stop
:03:30. > :03:33.you. Taking away your passport, prosecute bg, imprison you and if
:03:34. > :03:37.you're there already we may prevent you from coming back. You have
:03:38. > :03:58.declared your allegiance. You are an enemy of the UK and you should
:03:59. > :04:04.expect to be treated as such. David Cameron set out his commitment to
:04:05. > :04:09.balance the books by 2018, saving ?25 billion through spending cuts
:04:10. > :04:15.alone. Then a real crowd pleaser. A promise of more tax cuts. I can tell
:04:16. > :04:25.you now... He promised to take more people out of the... We will raise
:04:26. > :04:31.the allowance to ?12,500. That will take a million more of the lowest
:04:32. > :04:38.paid workers out of income tax and give a tax cut to 30 million more.
:04:39. > :04:45.So with us if you work 30 hours a week on minimum wage you will pay no
:04:46. > :04:49.income tax at all. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. He promised to take more
:04:50. > :04:54.people out of the higher 40 pence rate. David Cameron said his
:04:55. > :04:58.personal experience of the NHS had helped shape his commitment to
:04:59. > :05:04.increase its funding in real terms throughout the next Parliament. And
:05:05. > :05:10.he turned on Labour. For me, this is personal. I'm someone who has relied
:05:11. > :05:13.on the NHS and whose family knows how important it is and what it is
:05:14. > :05:16.look to go to hospital night after night with a sick child, knowing
:05:17. > :05:20.when you get there there will be people who will love that child and
:05:21. > :05:25.care for that child just as like it was their own. And how dare they
:05:26. > :05:28.suggest I would ever put that at risk for other people's children.
:05:29. > :05:32.How dare they frighten those who rely opt NHS. The Prime Minister
:05:33. > :05:37.knows many want a tough line on Europe. He promised a win back
:05:38. > :05:42.powers from Brussels. Britain, I know you want this sorted. So I will
:05:43. > :05:48.go to Brussels and I will not take no o' for an answer. When it comes
:05:49. > :05:58.to free movement I will get what Britain needs. Anyone who thinks
:05:59. > :06:02.reports s... Be Prime Minister said there was only one choice. The
:06:03. > :06:08.Conservatives or Labour. Me in Downing Street or Ed Milliband in
:06:09. > :06:15.Downing Street. If you vote UKIP, that is a vote for Labour. And
:06:16. > :06:21.here's a thought. Here is a thought for you. On the 7th May you could go
:06:22. > :06:26.to bed with Nigel Farage and wake up with Ed Milliband! He said he would
:06:27. > :06:30.not claim to be a perfect leader, but a public servant with the right
:06:31. > :06:39.track record and a plan for the future. For you, for your family,
:06:40. > :06:43.for everyone. It was a speech peppered with optimistic messages,
:06:44. > :06:45.telling the voters how they would benefit from a future Conservative
:06:46. > :06:56.Government and staked out the territory for the tough battle
:06:57. > :07:00.ahead. With me now is Simon Jack. On taxation, they sounded like bold
:07:01. > :07:07.promises, but expensive ones. What will they cost? Raising the top rate
:07:08. > :07:12.of tax to ?50,000 will take 800,000 people out of that band and cost
:07:13. > :07:19.?1.6 billion by 2020. The more expensive one is raising the
:07:20. > :07:26.personal allowance, to 12,500. That will take one million people out of
:07:27. > :07:32.income tax and cost ?5.6 million. And together 7.2 billion. These are
:07:33. > :07:37.Treasury numbers and the IFFS, the independent body, is eye balling
:07:38. > :07:43.them and see no reason to disagree. Do we know where the money will come
:07:44. > :07:50.from? They say there is no question there will not be any tax rises
:07:51. > :07:54.elsewhere. That means savage cuts if they're going to come up with the
:07:55. > :08:02.money on a squeezed deficit. Thank you. Our assistant political editor
:08:03. > :08:08.Norman Smith is in Birmingham. This sounded like a preelection speech?
:08:09. > :08:15.I'm tempted to say what we have is almost a tale of two conferences. We
:08:16. > :08:21.started the week with the austere message about cuts and we end with
:08:22. > :08:26.what is a clear tub-thumping conference speech from the Prime
:08:27. > :08:31.Minister to galvanise his party and give them what they want. What they
:08:32. > :08:36.crave - tax cuts. But more than that, giving an iconic message they
:08:37. > :08:40.can go to the electorate with. Tax cuts not just for those on lower
:08:41. > :08:43.incomes, but for middle England. People who David Cameron said were
:08:44. > :08:48.not well off but who had been dragged into the 40 pence rate.
:08:49. > :08:54.Teachers, nurses. Police officers. People many Tories regard as their
:08:55. > :09:00.people. And there were other crowd pleasers. On Europe he said he would
:09:01. > :09:04.overcome the obstruction of judges in Strasbourg by introducing a
:09:05. > :09:08.British bill of rights to give supremacy to British courts and
:09:09. > :09:14.urged the party to trust him on Europe. I won't take no for an
:09:15. > :09:18.answer. And he said a Conservative Government would deliver English
:09:19. > :09:22.votes on English laws. If anyone was in any doubt we are on the cusp of a
:09:23. > :09:25.jebgs they can be -- general election they can be no doubt now.
:09:26. > :09:27.David Cameron has in effect fired the starting gun on the general
:09:28. > :09:34.election campaign. Thank you. Police investigating
:09:35. > :09:35.the disappearance of 14-year-old Alice Gross have launched a murder
:09:36. > :09:39.inquiry after a body was found last night in a river in west London,
:09:40. > :09:41.following an extensive search. Detectives say significant efforts
:09:42. > :09:44.had been made to conceal the body. Our Home Affairs correspondent
:09:45. > :09:59.Tom Symonds is in Hanwell, The official confirmation came at
:10:00. > :10:07.dawn from the police that this body had been found in the muddy canal
:10:08. > :10:10.just through that path. It is 33 days since Alice Gross went missing.
:10:11. > :10:15.There has been no identification of the body, but it is devastating news
:10:16. > :10:21.for her family and for the supporters who mounted a huge
:10:22. > :10:27.campaign to find her. On the toe path as the Tay dawned, two police
:10:28. > :10:31.tents were visible. This has become the scene of a potential murder.
:10:32. > :10:36.Forensics officers have been back and forth and the location has been
:10:37. > :10:42.photographed from all angles. I can confirm that significant efforts
:10:43. > :10:45.were made to conceal the body. For several reasons, including
:10:46. > :10:53.protecting the investigation, I do not wish to comment any further at
:10:54. > :10:59.this point on the circumstances. Alice Gross was finishing a walk on
:11:00. > :11:04.28th August and was heading home. She was last seen passing this point
:11:05. > :11:08.further down the canal. The body has been found on what would have been
:11:09. > :11:13.her lightly route home. Not far away is another path where her bag was
:11:14. > :11:19.found several weeks ago. For that reason this area has been more
:11:20. > :11:23.heavily searched. A stretch of water examined by divers and in some
:11:24. > :11:29.places drained. Yesterday, we watched this team from the London
:11:30. > :11:34.Fire Brigade Guede supported by Welsh officers. The body was found
:11:35. > :11:41.later further up the canal. This man has not been found. Arnis Zalkalns a
:11:42. > :11:46.builder with a former murder conviction has gone missing. Today
:11:47. > :11:51.police moved in on an area where people have told the BBC he has
:11:52. > :11:56.worked in house renovations in recent months. Now, the police have
:11:57. > :12:02.been criticised for the speed at which they have extended their
:12:03. > :12:06.operations to Latvia, where Arnis Zalkalns may be. They have been
:12:07. > :12:10.accused of not issuing a European arrest warrant in case he is spotted
:12:11. > :12:15.there. They have said they can't do that under the law and there is not
:12:16. > :12:19.enough evidence and today the local MP has backed that decision and said
:12:20. > :12:27.he backs the family and the police are doing everything they can. What
:12:28. > :12:30.happens now, well perhaps the focus moves back here. It is not going to
:12:31. > :12:34.be the end of the search and the police will want to search again the
:12:35. > :12:37.cordon they have put in here, the area surrounded by the tapes,
:12:38. > :12:40.because they want to be sure they have done the tightest search they
:12:41. > :12:45.can and it does take a great deal of time and effort to get right down on
:12:46. > :12:50.the ground, finger tip searching. There may be forensic evidence and
:12:51. > :12:52.we wait for the identification of that body. We we expect possibly
:12:53. > :12:57.today. Thank you. The Ministry
:12:58. > :12:58.of Defence has confirmed that the RAF has carried out two more
:12:59. > :13:01.air strikes on so-called Two Tornadoes fired four missiles
:13:02. > :13:08.at an armed pick-up truck, Yesterday RAF Tornados carried out
:13:09. > :13:11.their FIRST strikes since Parliament approved military action in Iraq
:13:12. > :13:13.last Friday. Clive Myrie is in Irbil in
:13:14. > :13:31.Northern Iraq. Yes, those six RAF jits flying two
:13:32. > :13:37.at a time on combat missions -- jets - are part of the military campaign
:13:38. > :13:41.being gauged against Islamic State and their field of operations is
:13:42. > :13:46.across the country. We saw strikes in the north-west and the latest
:13:47. > :13:53.strikes over night took place just 50 miles north of Baghdad. The jets
:13:54. > :13:59.are based in Cyprus and our defence correspondent is there. The Ministry
:14:00. > :14:03.of Defence has released this video showing what it says was a
:14:04. > :14:07.successful attack on Islamic State fighters in Iraq. It was the first
:14:08. > :14:11.time that RAF Tornados have fired their weapons since they have been
:14:12. > :14:16.authorised to engage targets on the ground. They say they hit an IS
:14:17. > :14:21.machine gut post and an armed vehicle. Last night the RAF launched
:14:22. > :14:27.their second set of air strikes. They flew to an area west of the
:14:28. > :14:31.capital, Baghdad. The two Tornados returned here on Cyprus in the early
:14:32. > :14:36.hours. Confirming the strikes, the Ministry of Defence said they had
:14:37. > :14:40.been tasked to carry out surveillance on a Islamic State
:14:41. > :14:47.centre. When they saw two vehicles leaving, one of which was armed,
:14:48. > :14:53.they fired. They were among a number of strikes by coalition forces in
:14:54. > :14:58.support of Kurdish fighters who have been taking ground from the
:14:59. > :15:04.extremists. The fighting has been focussed near the Syrian border. The
:15:05. > :15:08.Kurds say they now control the town. This war cannot just be won from the
:15:09. > :15:12.air. With the promise that there will be no western boots on the
:15:13. > :15:17.ground, the US and its allies have to rely on others to take on Islamic
:15:18. > :15:21.State. This group of moderate rebels fighting in Syria have been supplied
:15:22. > :15:27.with American weapons. But they still want more western help.
:15:28. > :15:31.TRANSLATION: Maybe if they paid more attention to us and gave more
:15:32. > :15:34.support to the moderate groups we could be in a different position.
:15:35. > :15:42.But at least we are on a different track now. There is little pause in
:15:43. > :15:46.the air campaign. In Cyprus Tornados once again took off for another
:15:47. > :15:48.mission over Iraq. But it is still too early to judge how much of a
:15:49. > :16:02.difference they're making. The last few days have seen some of
:16:03. > :16:06.the most intense bombing of the last several weeks of the campaign. The
:16:07. > :16:13.majority of the strikes have been in Syria without the involvement of the
:16:14. > :16:18.RAF. Britain's involvement in this campaign only extends across Iraq.
:16:19. > :16:22.Thank you very much. David Cameron tells

:23:20. > :23:25.they can to try to find her wherever she is. They said she is atypical
:23:26. > :23:28.bubbly, bright teenager who is into table tennis and running with her
:23:29. > :23:31.brothers and sisters. They said there was nothing about her
:23:32. > :23:35.behaviour in the days before she disappeared to make them suspicious
:23:36. > :23:40.in any way. They said she went to bed as normal last Tuesday, talking
:23:41. > :23:44.about going to school on Wednesday, but police believe she got on a
:23:45. > :23:47.plane and flew to Turkey and was planning to head to Syria. Her
:23:48. > :23:50.mother made this direct appeal to her daughter.
:23:51. > :24:04.All your brothers and your sisters, we miss you so, so much.
:24:05. > :24:20.She said that the house feel silent without her daughter. As for the
:24:21. > :24:24.possibility that she might have been radicalised, as the police have
:24:25. > :24:27.suggested, the family say there is no concrete evidence and for now
:24:28. > :24:32.they want to focus on finding her rather than on the labels.
:24:33. > :24:34.The Financial Conduct Authority has begun an investigation into Tesco
:24:35. > :24:36.after the retailer overstated its estimated half-year profits
:24:37. > :24:41.It comes as another supermarket, Sainsbury's, has announced that
:24:42. > :24:46.its like-for-like sales have fallen for a third consecutive quarter.
:24:47. > :24:48.They dropped almost 3% in the three months to September.
:24:49. > :25:00.Our business correspondent, Emma Simpson, reports.
:25:01. > :25:07.Growing sales, growing market share... The old boss's message was
:25:08. > :25:13.always upbeat. He has gone and his right-hand man is now in charge and
:25:14. > :25:20.things are getting tougher. Here is one of the reasons. A typical basket
:25:21. > :25:27.of groceries now costs the same as it did a year ago. Sainsbury's
:25:28. > :25:30.reckons food prices are falling, something that has not happened in a
:25:31. > :25:36.generation. That is good news for us, but it is not helping the
:25:37. > :25:40.supermarkets. With less cash coming through the tills, sales are in
:25:41. > :25:44.decline and Sainsbury's says the next quarter is not likely to get
:25:45. > :25:49.any better. Annual sales could fall for the first time in almost a
:25:50. > :25:56.decade. It marks the end of a tremendous track record. Really it
:25:57. > :25:58.is the end of an era, arguably for the entire supermarket industry.
:25:59. > :26:04.Growth is almost impossible these days. Discount shops are taking an
:26:05. > :26:09.increasing share and shoppers are moving to convenience and online.
:26:10. > :26:15.We're changing the way we set our prices. The fightback has begun.
:26:16. > :26:22.Sainsbury's has long campaigned on quality but it is now going on the
:26:23. > :26:26.offensive of prices. Sainsbury's have an issue with price perception
:26:27. > :26:32.so they have to move on price today and reduce prices to ensure they
:26:33. > :26:38.have the universal appeal. But the troubles run far deeper at its
:26:39. > :26:42.bigger rival Tesco with news today that Britain's financial watchdog is
:26:43. > :26:48.launching a full investigation into its accounting scandal. The huge
:26:49. > :26:52.error in its profits forecast has raised a question about whether this
:26:53. > :26:56.could be happening anywhere else. Sainsbury's insisted today it was
:26:57. > :26:59.100% confident in its accounting practices.
:27:00. > :27:01.For the first time in almost 100 years,
:27:02. > :27:05.drivers no longer need to display a paper tax disc in their windscreen.
:27:06. > :27:09.To pay their road tax, motorists now need to register their car
:27:10. > :27:13.at a post office or online, although the DVLA has this morning admitted
:27:14. > :27:15.there's been unprecedented demand on its website, causing difficulty
:27:16. > :27:25.Our transport correspondent, Richard Westcott, reports.
:27:26. > :27:32.A little piece of history disappears from our windscreens today. The
:27:33. > :27:36.Government says there is no point in having a piece of paper on show. The
:27:37. > :27:41.reality is the authorities have not done this for years, check people's
:27:42. > :27:47.tax discs by looking in the windscreen. Instead they use cameras
:27:48. > :27:50.that take a photograph of your number plate and check it against a
:27:51. > :27:58.database and if you have not paid your tax, it turns orange. On patrol
:27:59. > :28:04.with the DVLA on this road in Essex. Around one in every 200 cars they
:28:05. > :28:09.check is not taxed. We have just had a hit and that vehicle was showing
:28:10. > :28:14.up as unlicensed. I would assume you are mainly catching people in older
:28:15. > :28:19.cars are maybe even white vans. That is what a lot of people assume. It
:28:20. > :28:25.could be anything and everything. A pink Rolls-Royce on the way to a
:28:26. > :28:30.wedding, ambulances, three buses from the same company. If there is
:28:31. > :28:36.time left on your disk, it is still valid. But you do not have to
:28:37. > :28:39.display it. Used or renew online or at the Post Office. The website has
:28:40. > :28:46.been swamped today. If you buy a second-hand car, you have to tax it
:28:47. > :28:53.yourself. The seller gets a refund. The Government gets two lots of tax
:28:54. > :28:58.for the monthly car is sold. The RAC has another worry. The absence of a
:28:59. > :29:03.physical tax disc will encourage people to try to evade taxation
:29:04. > :29:06.which will be lost revenue to the Exchequer and that will affect every
:29:07. > :29:11.motorist because there is less money to spend on maintaining and
:29:12. > :29:16.improving the road network. That is not true according to ministers who
:29:17. > :29:20.say the changes will save millions. For drivers, there is one bit of
:29:21. > :29:23.good news. No more trying to tear the tax disc from the perforations
:29:24. > :29:39.without ripping the paper. The weather is about to get in June
:29:40. > :29:44.with the calendar. Good news or bad news, it depends how you feel. After
:29:45. > :29:49.the warmth of recent weeks, the warmth of late summer is about to be
:29:50. > :29:54.squeezed out by autumn. There will be a few hints of automotive the
:29:55. > :29:58.next few days. Generally we stick with largely dry weather. Sunny
:29:59. > :30:02.spells with one or two showers. Temperatures still at or above
:30:03. > :30:07.average. A few showers this afternoon. The old heavy shower. A
:30:08. > :30:12.bit of brightness in between. Showers in the Channel Islands
:30:13. > :30:18.clearing and a brighter and drier evening compared to this morning. We
:30:19. > :30:21.will see a few showers in the Midlands pushing through northern
:30:22. > :30:25.England as well. Followed by a sunny weather. A few showers in Scotland
:30:26. > :30:30.and Northern Ireland. But most of the afternoon will be predominantly
:30:31. > :30:34.sunny. Pleasant enough under the blue skies. But it is the blue skies
:30:35. > :30:38.which translate to clear skies tonight and a distinct chill in the
:30:39. > :30:42.air for the northern half of the UK. In the south, more cloud. Showers
:30:43. > :30:46.possible. The odd patch of mist and fog. Single digits for towns and
:30:47. > :30:52.cities further north. Rural areas could see a few degrees above
:30:53. > :30:58.freezing. Autumn nip in the air for the northern half of the UK.
:30:59. > :31:02.Pleasant start. Lovely and fresh with sunny weather before the breeze
:31:03. > :31:05.picks up with more cloud later. More cloud across parts of England and
:31:06. > :31:11.Wales. Sunny spells expected. Isolated showers. Temperatures at or
:31:12. > :31:16.above where they should be for the time of year. At the end of the
:31:17. > :31:20.week, autumn well and truly arrives. Deep area of low pressure to the
:31:21. > :31:27.south of Iceland shoving this weather our way. That will be the
:31:28. > :31:30.dividing line between late summer and autumn. The breeze picking up.
:31:31. > :31:37.Blustery day on Friday with strong to gale force across parts of
:31:38. > :31:42.Scotland and Northern Ireland. Persistent rain. The ugly side of
:31:43. > :31:46.autumn. The weather front opening the door to autumn will push its way
:31:47. > :31:51.across England and Wales on Friday night into Saturday morning. All
:31:52. > :31:55.should see some rain. Rain lingering to start the weekend in the east. It
:31:56. > :31:59.will eventually clear. The sunshine will be out. But you will all notice
:32:00. > :32:05.the change. It will feel cooler than it has done and more like it should
:32:06. > :32:11.Now a reminder of our top story this lunchtime.
:32:12. > :32:16.David Cameron tells his party conference a future Conservative
:32:17. > :32:18.government would bring in two major tax cuts.
