and welcome to the BBC News at One. The Prime Minister has told business

leaders he's "deadly serious" when he says Britain could leave

the European Union. In a speech to

the CBI's annual conference, David Cameron said Britain could

survive outside the EU. But he said he wanted

a more flexible Europe. During his speech,

the Prime Minister was heckled Our political correspondent,

Alex Forsyth, reports. Should the UK remain in the European

Union? Soon, we will all be asked to decide. According to the Prime

Minister, it is one of the biggest political choices in a lifetime. But

first, David Cameron is trying to negotiate a new deal with European

leaders and today, addressing a business conference in London, he

said unless the EU changed, he would rule nothing out. Is this

organisation flexible enough to make sure countries inside the Eurozone

can grow and succeed and countries outside the Eurozone like Britain

can find what they need as well? If it is flexible enough, we will stay.

If it is not, we will have to as good very profound question, is this

organisation for us? The Prime Minister's pitch was not

received well by everybody. Come on, guys, if you sit down now you can

ask a question rather than making falls of yourself by standing up and

protesting. He had to address anti-EU heckling. Mr Cameron knows

nothing about this process will be easy but he says he is confident of

achieving change in the four areas he has set out, more powerful

national parliaments, restricting benefits for migrants, attracting

non-Eurozone countries and making the EU more competitive. Critics

said this renegotiation is purely cosmetic and will not achieve real

reform. Frankly, what he was doing today is

setting out the usual scare tactics rather than making a positive case

for what Britain could do outside the EE you because we are a strong

nation, it could trade freely, it could maintain economic relations

with Europe being outside the control of the EU. In Brussels, it

European leaders will receive the demands in writing for the first

time tomorrow. The letter is not expected to reveal much that is new

but it will mark the start of an intense period of negotiation and a

difficult time for David Cameron as he tries to convince European

leaders his reforms are reasonable and persuade Eurosceptics they are

meaningful. The last time the Prime Minister met

EU leaders in Brussels, the Britain question was barely mentioned. In

December, there is a crucial meeting to hammer out a deal, before then,

David Cameron has much diplomatic work to do.

Let's speak to Norman Smith, who's at Westminster.

So the Prime Minister's toughest message yet to Europe?

Let's be honest, there is a view among many business leaders and Tory

MPs and EU leaders that Mr Cameron just is not serious about pulling

out. His heart is not in leaving the EU and he will eventually sign on

the dotted line to stay in. What we got today was not quite David

Cameron's dirty Harry moment but a moment when he tried to eyeball EU

leaders and say, look, do not doubt my resolve to campaign to leave if

you do not give me what I want. More than that, he signalled there would

be no backtracking over some of his most contentious demands such as

barring EU migrants from claiming benefits for four years, even though

a mother -- a number of other countries have said, no way, you

cannot have that. What is going on? He is trying to reassure voters he

is evenhanded and he has not made his mind up. He is trying to

reassure Tory sceptics, that is the Labour view. And above all, he is

trying to strengthen his bargaining hand ahead of the publication

tomorrow of that letter setting out his demands because he knows if he

goes on the negotiating chamber and other EU leaders think, come on,

David, you are not serious, if they think he is bluffing, he knows he

will get next to nothing. The Chancellor, George Osborne,

says he has reached agreement with four government departments to cut

day-to-day spending by Mr Osborne warned the country

against "losing its nerve" Plans have also been announced for

nine new prisons, which ministers Our political correspondent,

Chris Mason, reports. Take an overview of government

departments in Whitehall that right now and for many, the squeeze is on.

That word deficit is back. It's never went away. But the Chancellor

wants to eradicate it. It is only when you control spending

and live within your means that you can build a country with security

and opportunity at its heart. We are not making savings for the sake of

savings. We will make savings for a purpose. To deliver a better, more

secure life for our citizens. So what has been signed off so far? The

Chancellor has done a deal with four departments, transport, local

government, environment and the Treasury. Each will cut to

day-to-day spending by 8% a year. Roughly 30% by 2020. These are big

cuts, 30% is a very big cut day-to-day spending. It is important

to be clear this is not most of the transport budget, most of the

transport budget is capital spending and the Chancellor is not talking

about that this morning. This is not most of local government spending,

that is funded through council tax and so on. He is right we have to

tackle the deficit but it does not have to be cut on the scale because

he has given tax cuts away to the richest and corporations, but

cutting benefits and tax credits to the middle and low or owners of the

poorest in society, it is just not fair. The wrangling over budgets is

far from over, not least because benefits is not yet signed off. The

Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan-Smith is digging his heels on

the patrollers changes to the Universal Credit -- proposed

changes. His aides say he has not threatened to resign over the issue

but they describe it as a breadline for him. We have not heard the last

of this. One thing that is agreed his time is

up for old prisons like this in Brixton in South London. George

Osborne says they will be sold to make way for new housing, with nine

new jails being built. Five will be finished within five years.

Meanwhile, the head of NHS England, Simon Stevens, has suggested that

negotiations with the Treasury have left him worried about

Our health editor, Hugh Pym, is here.

The NHS is supposed to be ring-fenced.

It is easy to assume health is not a problem, the government said it is

protected and there will be ?8 billion more by 2020 in real terms.

What has emerged today through an interview back one has given to

health service Journal is that our continued wranglings between the NHS

and the Treasury. He says considerably more progress is going

to be needed before we can say we have a genuinely workable NHS

funding solution. He says that the rubble will really hit the road next

year. He wants a commitment from the Chancellor to front-load this ?1

billion. That means instead of flat funding and a big increase of ?8

billion in 2020, it you phase it in with ?4 billion and ?5 billion, and

?6 billion. The Treasury has not accepted that so far. I want want

protection for the social care budget in England so the NHS does

not pick up social care problems as it did in the last Parliament. A lot

of tooling and froing. The Treasury saying, we always get a special

reading from the big spending departments wanting more money, but

there is clearly more work to be done with two weeks and I was

spending review. A major report into corruption

in athletics is going to be The report is

from an independent group set up by the World Anti-Doping Agency,

and it's been looking into claims that Russian athletes

had paid bribes to cover up doping. But as our sports correspondent

Richard Conway reports, its impact The world of athletics is fearing

the worst. There are claims senior figures took bribes, that an alleged

cover-up over failed drugs tests took place. Now a report will,

according to one of the investigators, reveal a different

scale of corruption. Lamine Diack stepped aside as

President of the IAAF in August but he is now the subject of a French

criminal investigation following claims he took money from the

Russian athletics Federation. In return, it said he allowed Russian

athletes who had violated doping rules to continue competing. The man

who succeeded him as President, Lord Coe, wants this to be a cathartic

moment for the support. Dog days for our sport but I am more

determined than ever to rebuild the trust in our sport, it is not going

to be a short journey and I am determined to rebuild and repair the

sport with my council colleagues. But this is a long road to

redemption. That is a view echoed by many past

and present athletes who now want to see governance reforms. In many

ways, it is D-Day. We have an idea of what might come out in the

report. When we see the details of it, I hope it is not as bad as some

people think. But what it will do, it will be a day that changes how

the sport of athletics is run. One big question that will undoubtedly

emerge is about the integrity of anti-doping procedures. There are

those who now believe the front and athlete confident -- confidence has

been seriously eroded. I am hugely disappointed. The system that was

put in place to try and protect athletes is in itself apparently

being corrupted. It seems to be the officials who are very much part of

the profiteering from this, so the athletes themselves ultimately the

victim is. The authors of this report have no direct power to

sanction individuals or even countries, but there have been calls

for Russia to be banned from all, edition is including eczema's

Olympic Games, if corruption is proven. -- from all competitions.

That will be a matter for the IAAF who must now try to restore trust

both in the sport and in the leadership.

Let's speak to our sports editor Dan Roan, who's in Geneva.

This report will be published very soon, a game changer says one of the

authors. It sounds like it will have a big impact on athletics. That is

right. It is a beautiful day in Geneva. In around one hour, a shadow

will be cast over not just athletics, but the world of sport

and its -- in its entirety. The head of a Commission that has been set up

by the World Anti-Doping Agency will hold a press conference in the hotel

behind me in Geneva and will deliver what many expect to be a damning

report, a report, Vermont in the making, is expected to conclude

there was evidence of systematic, state-sponsored doping in Russian

athletics. -- 11 months in the making. And it was covered up by

senior officials at the head of the sport, the world governing body the

IAAF. A report that basically reveals doping, cheating, Highbury

and extortion. Sport has been no stranger to scandal in recent times,

we are in Switzerland, just down the road from the headquarters of Fifa

in Zurich. What makes this a remarkable and so serious is it

affected results on the field of play. Not just the amount of doping

at the fact it seemed covered up by the very individuals whose job it

was to safeguard the sport. I think this will raise serious questions

for track and field. Whether or not Russia has to be banned from

international competition, including the Rio game is, in 2016 next year,

what a task facing the man whose three months ago became President of

the IAAF, Sebastian Coe. He has to react to today's report and find a

redemption for athletics. Thank you. David Cameron's wants Brussels he is

serious about securing reform in Europe. He says Britain could

survive outside the EU. And disbelief from diners as cars

tumble into a gigantic hole in a restaurant car park.

And we will have a full weather round-up, taking a look at the week

ahead. The leader of the main opposition

party in Myanmar - formerly Burma - has told her supporters it is too

early to celebrate and has urged them to remain calm as they wait for

the results of yesterday elections. them to remain calm as they wait for

the results of yesterday's elections.

Aung San Suu Kyi's party is widely expected to win

the largest number of seats, but the constitution, rewritten by the

army, Our correspondent Jonah

Fisher sent this report. After 24 hours of waiting

and speculation, at last there was For people whose last

memory of an election is a stolen one 25 years ago,

this was a first indication that The first 12 seats to be declared

all went to the opposition party, Just a few official results,

but tallying with what we have been hearing unofficially, that the NLD,

Aung San Suu Kyi's party, is on course for a big win,

quite possibly a landslide. TRANSLATION: If we do win,

I will be more than just happy. In my 40 years,

there has been no change, and in the last five years, the

country has been completely ruined. If NLD wins,

I know our country will change. Through years of detention

for tomorrow. For now, which try which has

suffered so much is celebrating a

rare moment of hope. It was, by any standards,

an unimaginable tragedy. Ten years ago

a young couple were celebrating their wedding in Jordan when suicide

bombers attacked three hotels. 27 of their friends and family were

murdered by Al-Qaeda terrorists. Our correspondent Caroline Hawley

was also caught up in the attacks She has been back to Jordan to

find out how Nadia and Ashraf It is my long-awaited,

planned today. And it was really perfect -

until that moment. But with their guests all gathered

in the hotel ballroom, Both of their fathers and Nadia's

mother were I never had a wedding.

This is all that I have left. I have no video, I have no memories,

it is only a couple These photos were taken literally

people screaming. And when I looked,

I saw my father beside. He just took two steps

and fell down. His soul was going out of his body,

I don't know. I really admire

your strength because what I saw We relive that day every day,

even if we don't talk about it. Why ARE you willing to talk about

it - because I know it is painful? We have this second chance

and we have to tell the story to the rest of the world

so they can understand it. Isis or Al-Qaeda or any

extremism groups, they are not After that day,

you know what are your priorities We would like to be called

survivors - we are not victims. I survived

and I am still surviving everyday. Two American military personnel and

a South African are reported to have been killed in an attack in Amman.

It is thought the attacker was a Jordanian police officer.

The United Nations weather agency is warning that the earth's climate is

moving into uncharted territory at a frightening speed, with

the prospect of hotter temperatures and more extreme weather events.

It says carbon dioxide levels in the earth's atmosphere hit

And here scientists in London claim that

the long-feared moment, when global warming breaches a key threshold,

Well with me is our science correspondent Rebecca Morelle.

Two bits of bad news today. For the 30th year in a row, carbon dioxide

levels have hit a record high. Also, the UK Met Office says lowball

temperatures will have risen by one Celsius since preindustrial levels

this year. One Celsius might not sound much but to put it into

context, scientists have a threshold which they have set at two Celsius

from preindustrial levels. If the Earth's trickster to use to stay

below this, we will still see some effects from climate change but we

will be able to deal with them. If however it goes above two Celsius,

then we will see some terrible effects, dramatic sea level rises,

ice caps melting, permafrost thawing, diseases spreading, that

sort of thing. The worrying thing is that today it looks like we have got

halfway to this threshold. It is 50 years since the UK

abandoned the death penalty after a series

of high profile cases in the 1950s. Among them Ruth Ellis, the last

woman to be hanged in Britain, and Timothy Evans, an innocent

25-year-old from south Wales who went to the gallows in the infamous

10 Rillington Place murders. Our legal correspondent

Clive Coleman looks back at the cases that led to the end

of capital punishment. In 1950, Timothy Evans was accused

of murdering his wife Beryl At his trial at the Old Bailey, he

accused the man who lived in the flat above the couple, but ten

Rillington Place in Notting Hill, former special constable John

Christie. Three years after Timothy was convicted and hanged, the bodies

of three strangled women were discovered in an alcove in

Christie's kitchen. He was a serial killer who had murdered six women,

including his own wife. He confessed to killing barrel. For those years,

Timothy's half sister Maureen lived closed to Christie. We used to have

to see him in the streets. We used to say we wanted to go out and rip

him to pieces. But we could not do anything or say anything, because we

couldn't or didn't want to make it any worse for mum. In 1953, another

man with learning difficulties, 19-year-old Derek Bentley, was

hanged for the murder of a policeman during a bungled burglary. The court

was told his accomplice, 16-year-old Christopher Cray, shocked the

officer but he was too young to be executed. The case increased public

disquiet about the death penalty. Derek Bentley was posthumously

pardoned. NEWSREEL: On June the 21st, Ruth

Ellis was convicted of murder... It was the execution of the glamorous

young mother which raised concern about the death penalty to a new

full. Still here in the walls of this north London pub are the bullet

holes fired by Ruth Ellis on Easter Sunday 1955. She had lain in wait

for her lover to leave the pub. As he did, she called out and shot.

AZI FARNI: On the floor wounded, she fired three more bullets and killed

him. Ruth Ellis had extraordinarily powerful personal mitigation. Days

before the killing, David Whitney hazard physical violence towards her

had caused a miscarriage. On the day of her execution, the crowds

supporting her mat outside Hollywood prison. It was these three cases

more than any theoretical arguments about deterrence, retribution or the

inhumanity of executions by the state, which lead on this day in

1965 to capital punishment itself finally being laid to rest.

A farmer from Surrey who has refused to tear

down a mock Tudor castle that he built without planning permission

Robert Fidler built the four-bedroomed home in 2000,

and two years later his family moved in, but he kept it

Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy is in the village of Salfords.

This is the house in question, the white one you can see in the

distance, the house which Robert Fidler built without permission on

green belt land. The council say he tricked them and it should come

down. Today it reaches the final hurdle in the High Court. The judges

will decide whether this house will finally have to be demolished. The

house might be mock Tudor, but the arguments are 100% real. This is the

Castle Robert Fidler built 15 years ago - without planning permission,

even though he says he has always been in the right. He construct it

it behind this wall of straw bales. They stayed up for four years. The

house took shape in secret behind it. He moved in with his family in

2002. Robert Fidler argued that as the house had stood for four years

without any objections, the local council should have given

retrospective planning permission. But in a series of legal battles, is

the courts have always backed the council, who say it cannot be built

on green belt land. Today, Robert Fidler went to the High Court for

one last, defiant time. Their case is based entirely on deceit and

lies. My case is based entirely on the truth. I have never told any

lies or broken any laws. I believe that one day we will all stand

before Almighty God and give account of. I would not like to be in their

shoes. So do you feel confident? Robert Fidler told the court that

the house has bats and newts and cannot be demolished because they

are protected. He also says he has since sold the house and is no

longer the owner. He has always depicted this is a David and Goliath

battle against the council and the courts about where you can and

cannot build your home. That battle is now coming to an end. Despite the

bats and the newts, Robert Fidler has lost pretty much every legal

battle over this in the past 15 years. Today in court he said he was

being harassed and bullied by the council over the matter. The council

have always said it is a matter of principle and this house behind me

has to come down. We are expecting a decision some time this afternoon

from the High Court. And finally, diners at a restaurant

in Mississippi had a shock A huge hole opened up in the car

park outside as they were eating. Customers said they were having

dinner when suddenly the lights went They rushed out to find

their cars swallowed by a hole More than 10 cars had fallen

into it - with one left teetering on the edge.

Amazingly no-one was injured. Emergency personnel said an

underground storm drain may have collapsed, or building work carried

out on the dynamite have had an effect.

Time for a look at the weather, with Louise Lear.

What a miserable morning in Lancashire this morning. Not much

better in the Lake District. Heavy rain has been the story, as well as

wind. Severe gales in places. Moving from Northern Ireland across north

Wales. Eastern and southern areas, staying pretty grey and clouded.

Still mild. Moving into the early evening rush-hour, the winds will

strengthen and we will have some significant rain coming into western

Scotland, with some localised flooding possible. Also, severe

gales on the higher routes. Some of the rain will start to ease for the

rush-hour. Further south, easy but slightly drier for driving home in

the M4 corridor. There is more rain to come, though. It will be a mild

night for all. The rain, slowly easing away from Scotland.

Significant rain starting to gather into the south-west, however.

Drifting towards south-east England during the day tomorrow. We will

also pick up more showery outbreaks across the north-west. An incredibly

mild afternoon for this time of year tomorrow. It looks as though this

weather front will be a bit of a nuisance. It does sink a bit further

south. The next pulse of wet weather drifts into north-west England and

southern Scotland. Wednesday, pretty grey, wet and windy. Perhaps

slightly drier and brighter further south. Still pretty mild. But as the

front sinks south, we start to introduce something a bit cooler.

Temperatures not too extreme. It will be a brief spell.

Now a reminder of our top story this lunchtime...

David Cameron warns Brussels he's deadly serious

about securing reform in Europe - he tells business leaders Britain
