:01:27. > :01:30.and welcome to the BBC News at One. The Prime Minister has told business
:01:31. > :01:33.leaders he's "deadly serious" when he says Britain could leave
:01:34. > :01:35.the European Union. In a speech to
:01:36. > :01:37.the CBI's annual conference, David Cameron said Britain could
:01:38. > :01:40.survive outside the EU. But he said he wanted
:01:41. > :01:42.a more flexible Europe. During his speech,
:01:43. > :01:45.the Prime Minister was heckled Our political correspondent,
:01:46. > :02:00.Alex Forsyth, reports. Should the UK remain in the European
:02:01. > :02:02.Union? Soon, we will all be asked to decide. According to the Prime
:02:03. > :02:08.Minister, it is one of the biggest political choices in a lifetime. But
:02:09. > :02:12.first, David Cameron is trying to negotiate a new deal with European
:02:13. > :02:16.leaders and today, addressing a business conference in London, he
:02:17. > :02:22.said unless the EU changed, he would rule nothing out. Is this
:02:23. > :02:25.organisation flexible enough to make sure countries inside the Eurozone
:02:26. > :02:31.can grow and succeed and countries outside the Eurozone like Britain
:02:32. > :02:36.can find what they need as well? If it is flexible enough, we will stay.
:02:37. > :02:41.If it is not, we will have to as good very profound question, is this
:02:42. > :02:44.organisation for us? The Prime Minister's pitch was not
:02:45. > :02:49.received well by everybody. Come on, guys, if you sit down now you can
:02:50. > :02:54.ask a question rather than making falls of yourself by standing up and
:02:55. > :02:58.protesting. He had to address anti-EU heckling. Mr Cameron knows
:02:59. > :03:02.nothing about this process will be easy but he says he is confident of
:03:03. > :03:06.achieving change in the four areas he has set out, more powerful
:03:07. > :03:10.national parliaments, restricting benefits for migrants, attracting
:03:11. > :03:16.non-Eurozone countries and making the EU more competitive. Critics
:03:17. > :03:19.said this renegotiation is purely cosmetic and will not achieve real
:03:20. > :03:23.reform. Frankly, what he was doing today is
:03:24. > :03:27.setting out the usual scare tactics rather than making a positive case
:03:28. > :03:31.for what Britain could do outside the EE you because we are a strong
:03:32. > :03:36.nation, it could trade freely, it could maintain economic relations
:03:37. > :03:40.with Europe being outside the control of the EU. In Brussels, it
:03:41. > :03:44.European leaders will receive the demands in writing for the first
:03:45. > :03:49.time tomorrow. The letter is not expected to reveal much that is new
:03:50. > :03:52.but it will mark the start of an intense period of negotiation and a
:03:53. > :03:57.difficult time for David Cameron as he tries to convince European
:03:58. > :04:00.leaders his reforms are reasonable and persuade Eurosceptics they are
:04:01. > :04:05.meaningful. The last time the Prime Minister met
:04:06. > :04:09.EU leaders in Brussels, the Britain question was barely mentioned. In
:04:10. > :04:13.December, there is a crucial meeting to hammer out a deal, before then,
:04:14. > :04:16.David Cameron has much diplomatic work to do.
:04:17. > :04:18.Let's speak to Norman Smith, who's at Westminster.
:04:19. > :04:24.So the Prime Minister's toughest message yet to Europe?
:04:25. > :04:32.Let's be honest, there is a view among many business leaders and Tory
:04:33. > :04:36.MPs and EU leaders that Mr Cameron just is not serious about pulling
:04:37. > :04:41.out. His heart is not in leaving the EU and he will eventually sign on
:04:42. > :04:45.the dotted line to stay in. What we got today was not quite David
:04:46. > :04:49.Cameron's dirty Harry moment but a moment when he tried to eyeball EU
:04:50. > :04:55.leaders and say, look, do not doubt my resolve to campaign to leave if
:04:56. > :04:59.you do not give me what I want. More than that, he signalled there would
:05:00. > :05:02.be no backtracking over some of his most contentious demands such as
:05:03. > :05:08.barring EU migrants from claiming benefits for four years, even though
:05:09. > :05:13.a mother -- a number of other countries have said, no way, you
:05:14. > :05:17.cannot have that. What is going on? He is trying to reassure voters he
:05:18. > :05:22.is evenhanded and he has not made his mind up. He is trying to
:05:23. > :05:26.reassure Tory sceptics, that is the Labour view. And above all, he is
:05:27. > :05:29.trying to strengthen his bargaining hand ahead of the publication
:05:30. > :05:34.tomorrow of that letter setting out his demands because he knows if he
:05:35. > :05:40.goes on the negotiating chamber and other EU leaders think, come on,
:05:41. > :05:41.David, you are not serious, if they think he is bluffing, he knows he
:05:42. > :05:45.will get next to nothing. The Chancellor, George Osborne,
:05:46. > :05:47.says he has reached agreement with four government departments to cut
:05:48. > :05:49.day-to-day spending by Mr Osborne warned the country
:05:50. > :05:53.against "losing its nerve" Plans have also been announced for
:05:54. > :06:01.nine new prisons, which ministers Our political correspondent,
:06:02. > :06:12.Chris Mason, reports. Take an overview of government
:06:13. > :06:18.departments in Whitehall that right now and for many, the squeeze is on.
:06:19. > :06:23.That word deficit is back. It's never went away. But the Chancellor
:06:24. > :06:27.wants to eradicate it. It is only when you control spending
:06:28. > :06:31.and live within your means that you can build a country with security
:06:32. > :06:36.and opportunity at its heart. We are not making savings for the sake of
:06:37. > :06:42.savings. We will make savings for a purpose. To deliver a better, more
:06:43. > :06:48.secure life for our citizens. So what has been signed off so far? The
:06:49. > :06:50.Chancellor has done a deal with four departments, transport, local
:06:51. > :06:55.government, environment and the Treasury. Each will cut to
:06:56. > :07:02.day-to-day spending by 8% a year. Roughly 30% by 2020. These are big
:07:03. > :07:06.cuts, 30% is a very big cut day-to-day spending. It is important
:07:07. > :07:10.to be clear this is not most of the transport budget, most of the
:07:11. > :07:14.transport budget is capital spending and the Chancellor is not talking
:07:15. > :07:17.about that this morning. This is not most of local government spending,
:07:18. > :07:20.that is funded through council tax and so on. He is right we have to
:07:21. > :07:26.tackle the deficit but it does not have to be cut on the scale because
:07:27. > :07:29.he has given tax cuts away to the richest and corporations, but
:07:30. > :07:34.cutting benefits and tax credits to the middle and low or owners of the
:07:35. > :07:39.poorest in society, it is just not fair. The wrangling over budgets is
:07:40. > :07:42.far from over, not least because benefits is not yet signed off. The
:07:43. > :07:47.Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan-Smith is digging his heels on
:07:48. > :07:52.the patrollers changes to the Universal Credit -- proposed
:07:53. > :07:56.changes. His aides say he has not threatened to resign over the issue
:07:57. > :07:58.but they describe it as a breadline for him. We have not heard the last
:07:59. > :08:04.of this. One thing that is agreed his time is
:08:05. > :08:08.up for old prisons like this in Brixton in South London. George
:08:09. > :08:12.Osborne says they will be sold to make way for new housing, with nine
:08:13. > :08:17.new jails being built. Five will be finished within five years.
:08:18. > :08:24.Meanwhile, the head of NHS England, Simon Stevens, has suggested that
:08:25. > :08:26.negotiations with the Treasury have left him worried about
:08:27. > :08:29.Our health editor, Hugh Pym, is here.
:08:30. > :08:31.The NHS is supposed to be ring-fenced.
:08:32. > :08:38.It is easy to assume health is not a problem, the government said it is
:08:39. > :08:42.protected and there will be ?8 billion more by 2020 in real terms.
:08:43. > :08:46.What has emerged today through an interview back one has given to
:08:47. > :08:51.health service Journal is that our continued wranglings between the NHS
:08:52. > :08:56.and the Treasury. He says considerably more progress is going
:08:57. > :09:00.to be needed before we can say we have a genuinely workable NHS
:09:01. > :09:05.funding solution. He says that the rubble will really hit the road next
:09:06. > :09:08.year. He wants a commitment from the Chancellor to front-load this ?1
:09:09. > :09:15.billion. That means instead of flat funding and a big increase of ?8
:09:16. > :09:19.billion in 2020, it you phase it in with ?4 billion and ?5 billion, and
:09:20. > :09:24.?6 billion. The Treasury has not accepted that so far. I want want
:09:25. > :09:27.protection for the social care budget in England so the NHS does
:09:28. > :09:31.not pick up social care problems as it did in the last Parliament. A lot
:09:32. > :09:36.of tooling and froing. The Treasury saying, we always get a special
:09:37. > :09:40.reading from the big spending departments wanting more money, but
:09:41. > :09:41.there is clearly more work to be done with two weeks and I was
:09:42. > :09:43.spending review. A major report into corruption
:09:44. > :09:46.in athletics is going to be The report is
:09:47. > :09:49.from an independent group set up by the World Anti-Doping Agency,
:09:50. > :09:51.and it's been looking into claims that Russian athletes
:09:52. > :09:54.had paid bribes to cover up doping. But as our sports correspondent
:09:55. > :10:09.Richard Conway reports, its impact The world of athletics is fearing
:10:10. > :10:15.the worst. There are claims senior figures took bribes, that an alleged
:10:16. > :10:19.cover-up over failed drugs tests took place. Now a report will,
:10:20. > :10:23.according to one of the investigators, reveal a different
:10:24. > :10:28.scale of corruption. Lamine Diack stepped aside as
:10:29. > :10:32.President of the IAAF in August but he is now the subject of a French
:10:33. > :10:37.criminal investigation following claims he took money from the
:10:38. > :10:40.Russian athletics Federation. In return, it said he allowed Russian
:10:41. > :10:45.athletes who had violated doping rules to continue competing. The man
:10:46. > :10:49.who succeeded him as President, Lord Coe, wants this to be a cathartic
:10:50. > :10:53.moment for the support. Dog days for our sport but I am more
:10:54. > :10:58.determined than ever to rebuild the trust in our sport, it is not going
:10:59. > :11:02.to be a short journey and I am determined to rebuild and repair the
:11:03. > :11:05.sport with my council colleagues. But this is a long road to
:11:06. > :11:11.redemption. That is a view echoed by many past
:11:12. > :11:14.and present athletes who now want to see governance reforms. In many
:11:15. > :11:18.ways, it is D-Day. We have an idea of what might come out in the
:11:19. > :11:23.report. When we see the details of it, I hope it is not as bad as some
:11:24. > :11:27.people think. But what it will do, it will be a day that changes how
:11:28. > :11:33.the sport of athletics is run. One big question that will undoubtedly
:11:34. > :11:36.emerge is about the integrity of anti-doping procedures. There are
:11:37. > :11:43.those who now believe the front and athlete confident -- confidence has
:11:44. > :11:47.been seriously eroded. I am hugely disappointed. The system that was
:11:48. > :11:53.put in place to try and protect athletes is in itself apparently
:11:54. > :11:59.being corrupted. It seems to be the officials who are very much part of
:12:00. > :12:04.the profiteering from this, so the athletes themselves ultimately the
:12:05. > :12:07.victim is. The authors of this report have no direct power to

:12:12. > :12:14.for Russia to be banned from all, edition is including eczema's
:12:15. > :12:20.Olympic Games, if corruption is proven. -- from all competitions.
:12:21. > :12:24.That will be a matter for the IAAF who must now try to restore trust
:12:25. > :12:26.both in the sport and in the leadership.
:12:27. > :12:30.Let's speak to our sports editor Dan Roan, who's in Geneva.
:12:31. > :12:37.This report will be published very soon, a game changer says one of the
:12:38. > :12:41.authors. It sounds like it will have a big impact on athletics. That is
:12:42. > :12:48.right. It is a beautiful day in Geneva. In around one hour, a shadow
:12:49. > :12:54.will be cast over not just athletics, but the world of sport

:13:03. > :13:07.behind me in Geneva and will deliver what many expect to be a damning
:13:08. > :13:12.report, a report, Vermont in the making, is expected to conclude

:13:53. > :13:57.at the fact it seemed covered up by the very individuals whose job it
:13:58. > :14:01.was to safeguard the sport. I think this will raise serious questions

:22:02. > :22:04.sort of thing. The worrying thing is that today it looks like we have got
:22:05. > :22:06.halfway to this threshold. It is 50 years since the UK
:22:07. > :22:10.abandoned the death penalty after a series
:22:11. > :22:13.of high profile cases in the 1950s. Among them Ruth Ellis, the last
:22:14. > :22:16.woman to be hanged in Britain, and Timothy Evans, an innocent
:22:17. > :22:19.25-year-old from south Wales who went to the gallows in the infamous
:22:20. > :22:21.10 Rillington Place murders. Our legal correspondent
:22:22. > :22:23.Clive Coleman looks back at the cases that led to the end
:22:24. > :22:30.of capital punishment. In 1950, Timothy Evans was accused
:22:31. > :22:47.of murdering his wife Beryl At his trial at the Old Bailey, he
:22:48. > :22:51.accused the man who lived in the flat above the couple, but ten
:22:52. > :22:54.Rillington Place in Notting Hill, former special constable John
:22:55. > :23:00.Christie. Three years after Timothy was convicted and hanged, the bodies
:23:01. > :23:04.of three strangled women were discovered in an alcove in
:23:05. > :23:09.Christie's kitchen. He was a serial killer who had murdered six women,
:23:10. > :23:13.including his own wife. He confessed to killing barrel. For those years,
:23:14. > :23:20.Timothy's half sister Maureen lived closed to Christie. We used to have
:23:21. > :23:25.to see him in the streets. We used to say we wanted to go out and rip
:23:26. > :23:29.him to pieces. But we could not do anything or say anything, because we
:23:30. > :23:35.couldn't or didn't want to make it any worse for mum. In 1953, another
:23:36. > :23:39.man with learning difficulties, 19-year-old Derek Bentley, was
:23:40. > :23:44.hanged for the murder of a policeman during a bungled burglary. The court
:23:45. > :23:47.was told his accomplice, 16-year-old Christopher Cray, shocked the
:23:48. > :23:52.officer but he was too young to be executed. The case increased public
:23:53. > :24:01.disquiet about the death penalty. Derek Bentley was posthumously
:24:02. > :24:06.pardoned. NEWSREEL: On June the 21st, Ruth
:24:07. > :24:09.Ellis was convicted of murder... It was the execution of the glamorous
:24:10. > :24:14.young mother which raised concern about the death penalty to a new

:24:20. > :24:23.holes fired by Ruth Ellis on Easter Sunday 1955. She had lain in wait
:24:24. > :24:28.for her lover to leave the pub. As he did, she called out and shot.
:24:29. > :24:33.AZI FARNI: On the floor wounded, she fired three more bullets and killed
:24:34. > :24:38.him. Ruth Ellis had extraordinarily powerful personal mitigation. Days

:25:19. > :25:21.and two years later his family moved in, but he kept it
:25:22. > :25:31.Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy is in the village of Salfords.
:25:32. > :25:42.This is the house in question, the white one you can see in the
:25:43. > :25:46.distance, the house which Robert Fidler built without permission on
:25:47. > :25:54.green belt land. The council say he tricked them and it should come
:25:55. > :25:57.down. Today it reaches the final hurdle in the High Court. The judges
:25:58. > :26:05.will decide whether this house will finally have to be demolished. The
:26:06. > :26:10.house might be mock Tudor, but the arguments are 100% real. This is the
:26:11. > :26:14.Castle Robert Fidler built 15 years ago - without planning permission,
:26:15. > :26:19.even though he says he has always been in the right. He construct it
:26:20. > :26:22.it behind this wall of straw bales. They stayed up for four years. The
:26:23. > :26:30.house took shape in secret behind it. He moved in with his family in
:26:31. > :26:35.2002. Robert Fidler argued that as the house had stood for four years
:26:36. > :26:37.without any objections, the local council should have given
:26:38. > :26:42.retrospective planning permission. But in a series of legal battles, is
:26:43. > :26:45.the courts have always backed the council, who say it cannot be built
:26:46. > :26:52.on green belt land. Today, Robert Fidler went to the High Court for
:26:53. > :26:59.one last, defiant time. Their case is based entirely on deceit and
:27:00. > :27:03.lies. My case is based entirely on the truth. I have never told any
:27:04. > :27:07.lies or broken any laws. I believe that one day we will all stand
:27:08. > :27:12.before Almighty God and give account of. I would not like to be in their
:27:13. > :27:16.shoes. So do you feel confident? Robert Fidler told the court that
:27:17. > :27:21.the house has bats and newts and cannot be demolished because they
:27:22. > :27:24.are protected. He also says he has since sold the house and is no
:27:25. > :27:30.longer the owner. He has always depicted this is a David and Goliath
:27:31. > :27:33.battle against the council and the courts about where you can and
:27:34. > :27:38.cannot build your home. That battle is now coming to an end. Despite the
:27:39. > :27:43.bats and the newts, Robert Fidler has lost pretty much every legal
:27:44. > :27:47.battle over this in the past 15 years. Today in court he said he was
:27:48. > :27:52.being harassed and bullied by the council over the matter. The council
:27:53. > :27:55.have always said it is a matter of principle and this house behind me
:27:56. > :27:56.has to come down. We are expecting a decision some time this afternoon
:27:57. > :27:59.from the High Court. And finally, diners at a restaurant
:28:00. > :28:03.in Mississippi had a shock A huge hole opened up in the car
:28:04. > :28:09.park outside as they were eating. Customers said they were having
:28:10. > :28:11.dinner when suddenly the lights went They rushed out to find
:28:12. > :28:16.their cars swallowed by a hole More than 10 cars had fallen
:28:17. > :28:21.into it - with one left teetering on the edge.
:28:22. > :28:33.Amazingly no-one was injured. Emergency personnel said an
:28:34. > :28:35.underground storm drain may have collapsed, or building work carried
:28:36. > :28:42.out on the dynamite have had an effect.
:28:43. > :28:49.Time for a look at the weather, with Louise Lear.
:28:50. > :28:53.What a miserable morning in Lancashire this morning. Not much
:28:54. > :29:02.better in the Lake District. Heavy rain has been the story, as well as
:29:03. > :29:19.wind. Severe gales in places. Moving from Northern Ireland across north
:29:20. > :29:27.Wales. Eastern and southern areas, staying pretty grey and clouded.
:29:28. > :29:31.Still mild. Moving into the early evening rush-hour, the winds will
:29:32. > :29:35.strengthen and we will have some significant rain coming into western
:29:36. > :29:42.Scotland, with some localised flooding possible. Also, severe
:29:43. > :29:46.gales on the higher routes. Some of the rain will start to ease for the
:29:47. > :29:53.rush-hour. Further south, easy but slightly drier for driving home in
:29:54. > :29:59.the M4 corridor. There is more rain to come, though. It will be a mild
:30:00. > :30:03.night for all. The rain, slowly easing away from Scotland.
:30:04. > :30:09.Significant rain starting to gather into the south-west, however.
:30:10. > :30:12.Drifting towards south-east England during the day tomorrow. We will
:30:13. > :30:19.also pick up more showery outbreaks across the north-west. An incredibly
:30:20. > :30:24.mild afternoon for this time of year tomorrow. It looks as though this
:30:25. > :30:31.weather front will be a bit of a nuisance. It does sink a bit further
:30:32. > :30:37.south. The next pulse of wet weather drifts into north-west England and
:30:38. > :30:43.southern Scotland. Wednesday, pretty grey, wet and windy. Perhaps
:30:44. > :30:51.slightly drier and brighter further south. Still pretty mild. But as the
:30:52. > :31:00.front sinks south, we start to introduce something a bit cooler.
:31:01. > :31:13.Temperatures not too extreme. It will be a brief spell.
