:04:18. > :04:24.will react. Our Moscow correspondent is in Moscow. We have had the
:04:25. > :04:31.reaction and very strong language from President Putin. Russia has
:04:32. > :04:35.reacted with anger. President Putin has said the shooting down of the
:04:36. > :04:42.jet was a stab in the back by accomplices of terrorism. He
:04:43. > :04:47.contrasted that with the heroism of Russian troops fighting terrorism.
:04:48. > :04:53.He said the Russian jet had been hit in Syrian territory. Turkey said it
:04:54. > :04:59.had violated Turkish airspace. Moscow denied that. He said the

:05:06. > :05:11.would have serious consequences for relations between Russia and Turkey.
:05:12. > :05:15.He said they would carefully analyse what had happened. These are very
:05:16. > :05:22.strong words and how Russia reacts next will depend on one man,
:05:23. > :05:27.President Putin. There had been concerned something like this could
:05:28. > :05:32.happen since Russia started their bombing campaign. Absolutely. Last
:05:33. > :05:36.month, Turkey complained that Russian jets were violating Turkish
:05:37. > :05:42.airspace. Russia admitted one incident and said one of the planes
:05:43. > :05:46.had strayed into Turkish airspace because of bad weather. Nato had
:05:47. > :05:50.criticised Russia for violating Turkish airspace. Perhaps not a
:05:51. > :05:55.surprise. But certainly, very strong language coming out of the Kremlin
:05:56. > :06:06.today. We will need to wait and see how Russia reacts next. Much more on
:06:07. > :06:10.the background to this story online. The NHS in England is to get an
:06:11. > :06:18.extra ?3.8 billion next year. The money is to pay partly for a full
:06:19. > :06:22.seven day a week health service. News of the extra money comes ahead
:06:23. > :06:26.of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement. He is expected to
:06:27. > :06:31.announce cuts. The NHS is in crisis,
:06:32. > :06:33.missing vital targets and growings sign the system is
:06:34. > :06:36.struggling to keep up with demand. including ambulance response times,
:06:37. > :06:39.wait in A and cancer treatment. All signs the system is struggling
:06:40. > :06:41.to cope with growing demand. After weeks of haggling,
:06:42. > :06:43.ministers and Health Service leaders are back in step over NHS spending
:06:44. > :06:46.plans for the next five years. They'd already agreed on the need
:06:47. > :06:50.for an extra ?8 billion a year by 2020, the big question was how
:06:51. > :06:54.quickly this would be phased in. This year's NHS budget is just
:06:55. > :06:58.over ?100 billion, and ministers have agreed an extra ?3.8 billion
:06:59. > :07:03.next year on top of inflation. The annual increases will continue
:07:04. > :07:07.to reach nearly ?8.5 billion The Government says it all adds up
:07:08. > :07:13.to an extra ?10 billion when you factor in extra money that
:07:14. > :07:17.went in this year. We are giving the money upfront so
:07:18. > :07:20.the NHS can implement its own plan There'll have to be savings
:07:21. > :07:25.elsewhere in Government spending to pay for this, but it just goes to
:07:26. > :07:29.show you can only have a strong NHS NHS leaders are relieved
:07:30. > :07:34.the extra money is coming in sooner rather than later, but they warn
:07:35. > :07:40.there's still a long way to go. We made the case for front loaded
:07:41. > :07:43.investment in the National Health The reason it's so important is that
:07:44. > :07:51.we've got to do two things; we've got to relieve the pressure
:07:52. > :07:53.on frontline nurses and doctors services that we know the
:07:54. > :08:00.Health Service will need over and hospital services right now,
:08:01. > :08:03.and we've got to invest in the new NHS Trusts say it will still feel
:08:04. > :08:08.like a tough spending settlement. Great to get an extra ?10 billion,
:08:09. > :08:11.particularly when other departments are having significant reductions,
:08:12. > :08:14.but this will still be the longest, deepest financial squeeze in NHS
:08:15. > :08:18.history between 2010 and 2020. Concerns remain about funding
:08:19. > :08:21.for programmes to prevent poor health and social care
:08:22. > :08:27.which fall outside NHS budgets. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
:08:28. > :08:29.will receive a proportionate increase in line with extra health
:08:30. > :08:47.spending in England, but details of Let's speak to our health editor.
:08:48. > :08:50.NHS leaders have welcomed the boost in funding but there are still
:08:51. > :08:56.concerns about funding for other parts of the NHS. That's right,
:08:57. > :08:59.particularly the public health prevention work done by local
:09:00. > :09:03.authorities. You heard it referred to their by Adam in his piece. As I
:09:04. > :09:09.revealed last week there are set to be cut in those budgets, things like
:09:10. > :09:13.sexual health, smoking cessation clinics, things that are considered
:09:14. > :09:17.to be pretty important. We will only know the scale of that tomorrow. The
:09:18. > :09:21.money for health education England, the training of nurses and doctors
:09:22. > :09:24.and so on, it seems very likely it will be announced that nurses will
:09:25. > :09:29.need to start paying tuition fees and borrow money for that in line
:09:30. > :09:33.with doctors and obviously other students. We will get all of that
:09:34. > :09:39.tomorrow. As you suggested, this deal today, giving ?3.8 billion
:09:40. > :09:44.above inflation, is very much what the NHS wanted. I detected quite a
:09:45. > :09:50.lot of relief talking to NHS leaders today that they got that money. The
:09:51. > :09:57.front loading you heard referred to. The ?8 billion that has been spoken
:09:58. > :10:03.about is ?8.4 billion. One thing that has emerged today which is
:10:04. > :10:06.important is that the cost of rolling out more services at
:10:07. > :10:11.weekends in hospitals and GP surgeries has to be accounted for by
:10:12. > :10:14.these numbers. Initially, NHS leaders wanted extra money for that
:10:15. > :10:18.and they are now not going to get it. I'm told that will come towards
:10:19. > :10:22.the end of the parliament in a few years. It is a big challenge
:10:23. > :10:25.delivering that and I think it will remain a big challenge, preparing
:10:26. > :10:32.for the efficiency savings which will very much be needed by that
:10:33. > :10:38.point. We need to know where they are going to come from. Alton Towers
:10:39. > :10:42.says human error was to blame for the roller-coaster crash this year

:18:47. > :18:55.Here's our social affairs correspondent, Alison Holt.
:18:56. > :19:01.Wrung of Maurice Robinson's earliest memories is of his father sexually
:19:02. > :19:05.abusing him. He describes what happened from them on as relentless.
:19:06. > :19:10.Today's report says the majority of child sexual abuse happens within
:19:11. > :19:13.family networks. Like a significant number of abuse survivors, Maurice
:19:14. > :19:20.did tell his mother but that didn't stop the abuse.
:19:21. > :19:24.I tried to explain as a three or four-year-old child would do. He got
:19:25. > :19:29.me again and said, you told your mum again, you mustn't tell anybody
:19:30. > :19:35.else. He said, I'm only teaching you and that was the way perpetrators
:19:36. > :19:38.work, they want to win all the time. The report by the Children's
:19:39. > :19:44.Commissioner for England draws on data from police, councils and abuse
:19:45. > :19:48.survivors. It estimates over two years up to 50,000 children were
:19:49. > :19:54.sexually abused, but only one in eight were known to the authorities.
:19:55. > :19:59.It also says 66% of child sexual abuse happens at the hands of family
:20:00. > :20:08.members or their close friends. Most children tell us they don't
:20:09. > :20:11.know how to tell. Most won't come to the attention of the services
:20:12. > :20:15.because of that. We need to recognise that and change it. The
:20:16. > :20:19.report team also found most children who managed to tell someone were 12
:20:20. > :20:23.or older, but for many, the abuse had started years before.
:20:24. > :20:29.Police leaders and others say we have to do much better. I think this
:20:30. > :20:33.now has to be a watershed moment for all partners and agencies involved
:20:34. > :20:40.in child protection matters. We now have to fundamentally rethink how we
:20:41. > :20:44.go about stopping abuse happening on he horrific scale that the
:20:45. > :20:51.Commission identified. Like Maurice, many only tell their stories as
:20:52. > :20:54.adults. More training is needed to spot signs of abuse as part of a
:20:55. > :20:55.drive to protect children who don't have the words to explain what is
:20:56. > :21:05.happening. Alison is here with me now. Alarming
:21:06. > :21:08.figures, potentially up to 450,000 children abused in a two-year
:21:09. > :21:12.period. How do they arrive at the figures? Well, they are an estimate,
:21:13. > :21:16.because in the end we'll never know for certain exactly how many chink
:21:17. > :21:20.are facing this sort of abuse and trauma. But, it's got comprehensive
:21:21. > :21:27.research behind it so the figures are robust. What they've done is,
:21:28. > :21:31.gathered data from police and local authorities, they've reviewed all
:21:32. > :21:37.existing research and, in addition to that, they have surveyed more
:21:38. > :21:40.than 750 adult survivors of abuse, so the most comprehensive survey of
:21:41. > :21:44.that particular type. They have combined it using a model used by
:21:45. > :21:50.Government to estimate the scale of problems and have come up with this
:21:51. > :21:56.figure of between 400,000 and 450,000 children being abused. I
:21:57. > :22:01.think it's fair to say the data is robust, it raises serious questions
:22:02. > :22:02.about how we deal with this and provides valuable detail about what

:22:55. > :22:58.handed. They had drilled through the vault
:22:59. > :23:05.wall but hadn't managed to get past the backs of the safe deposit
:23:06. > :23:09.cabinets inside the vault. But, the prosecution say, two days later, the
:23:10. > :23:14.men visited Machine Mart in Twickenham and bought a new pump and
:23:15. > :23:19.hose to push over the cabinets. That night, the men arrived again at
:23:20. > :23:24.Hatton Garden. But at that moment, according to the prosecution, Carl
:23:25. > :23:26.Wood, one of the men on trial today, walked away from England's biggest
:23:27. > :23:30.burglary. Terry Perkins, one of the ring
:23:31. > :23:31.leaders, recalled the moment six weeks later, recorded on a police
:23:32. > :23:50.bug in his car. And they did get in. They forced the
:23:51. > :23:56.cabinets over, crawled into the vault and got open 73 safe deposit
:23:57. > :24:01.boxes and ransacked them. On Easter Sunday morning, the
:24:02. > :24:05.prosecution say they made off with ?14 million worth of gold, diamonds,
:24:06. > :24:10.watches and jewellery, all stashed in their bags and two wheelie bins,
:24:11. > :24:15.only around a third of the stolen property has been recovered.
:24:16. > :24:21.In the last hour, the jury heard how six weeks after the burglary, the
:24:22. > :24:23.police were on to the gang and installed recording dwietions in two
:24:24. > :24:28.of their cars. They were listening in as the men discussed moving their
:24:29. > :24:32.loot. Eventually, as several bags of stolen property were being moved,
:24:33. > :24:38.detectives pounced and arrested most of the gang, but one of the men,
:24:39. > :24:42.known only as Basil, has never been identified.
:24:43. > :24:45.A number of Labour MPs are expected to back replacing Britain's Trident
:24:46. > :24:47.nuclear deterrent despite opposition from its leadership.
:24:48. > :24:50.The debate has been called by the SNP, which wants the nuclear
:24:51. > :24:55.Let's speak to our political correspondent, Carole Walker.
:24:56. > :25:02.The SNP have opened this debate, the party's defence spokesman Brendan
:25:03. > :25:05.O'Hara said there was political consensus across the parties and the
:25:06. > :25:12.people in Scotland, that they wanted to be rid of what he called "weapons
:25:13. > :25:16.of mass destruction", but what this debate and this vote later this
:25:17. > :25:19.afternoon does do is, it shines a very harsh light on the difficulties
:25:20. > :25:23.that there are within the Labour Party on this issue.
:25:24. > :25:28.The Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn, a life long campaigner against nuclear
:25:29. > :25:33.weapons wants to be rid of them. Most of his party, his MPs here at
:25:34. > :25:37.Westminster want to retain and renew the Trident nuclear weapons system.
:25:38. > :25:41.Now, the Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, has said, that is a
:25:42. > :25:45.shambles, Labour have been told to abstain when it comes to the vote
:25:46. > :25:51.later this afternoon, but it looks as though around 20 Labour MPs could
:25:52. > :25:54.in fact vote with the Government, thus underlining how difficulties
:25:55. > :25:55.for Labour to resolve its differences, particularly when it
:25:56. > :25:56.comes to security and defence. There are concerns that the use of
:25:57. > :26:01.performance enhancing drugs by rugby Figures show that a third
:26:02. > :26:06.of all the athletes banned in the UK are league or union players from
:26:07. > :26:19.Wales, as our Wales correspondent, It's a game where the pressure is on
:26:20. > :26:24.to be bigger, faster and stronger than the opposition. But despite
:26:25. > :26:28.testing for banned substances at every level of rugby, some are
:26:29. > :26:32.clearly prepared to run the risk of getting caught.
:26:33. > :26:37.Last week, two Welsh amateur level players became the latest to join
:26:38. > :26:42.the UK's banned list after being found to take performance enhancing
:26:43. > :26:46.drugs. They joined 15 other Rugby League and union players from Wales
:26:47. > :26:50.serving suspensions. The number of players who've been
:26:51. > :26:53.caught and banned is relatively small compared to the thousands who
:26:54. > :26:57.play rugby at grass roots level every week, but some argue they're
:26:58. > :27:01.only a symptom of a much bigger problem that the authorities failed
:27:02. > :27:05.to tackle. One former player spoke to the BBC anonymously about what
:27:06. > :27:09.he'd witnessed in Welsh rugby. His words are spoken by an actor.
:27:10. > :27:13.I think it's totally off the scale. I think people are probably blind to
:27:14. > :27:16.it and if the truth came out, I think there would be probably a lot
:27:17. > :27:24.more players who were banned from playing. It's not just a problem for
:27:25. > :27:28.Welsh rugby. Former England under 16 player Daniel Spencer-Tonks was
:27:29. > :27:33.given a four-year ban after testing positive in a third tier Rugby
:27:34. > :27:38.League game. At my level, you knew the testers were coming around
:27:39. > :27:41.potentially once a year pre-season and then maybe towards the end of
:27:42. > :27:47.the year they might come around after a game, probably not. I
:27:48. > :27:50.believe that's why it's so massive because you can get away with it.
:27:51. > :27:55.Doping is under scrutiny in every sport. In athletics and cycling,
:27:56. > :28:00.some have been shown to cheat their way to the very top. The ability to
:28:01. > :28:03.take a drug which passes through the body quickly has made it easier to
:28:04. > :28:07.be one step ahead of the testing regime. The drugs will leave the
:28:08. > :28:11.system very quickly, they can be quite confident when they are going
:28:12. > :28:14.to testing that they won't be caught because the current testing will not
:28:15. > :28:19.be able to detect the drugs because they are no longer in the system.
:28:20. > :28:23.Both Rugby Union and Rugby League admit there is an issue which they
:28:24. > :28:27.say they are addressing. I wouldn't say it's not an issue in rugby,
:28:28. > :28:31.because the fact that one player getting banned is one too many, as
:28:32. > :28:36.far as I'm concerned, so the challenge for us not just in rugby
:28:37. > :28:41.but in sport generally I think is to get it out of the game. A challenge
:28:42. > :28:46.for rugby at every level is to keep confidence in the sport and ensure
:28:47. > :28:48.supporters and sponsors and everyone is playing within the rules.
:28:49. > :28:53.Time for a look at the weather now with Chris.
:28:54. > :28:59.Seeing some big swings in temperatures this week across the
:29:00. > :29:05.UK. This picture was sent in yesterday showing some fog on the
:29:06. > :29:09.grass, fog on the horizon in the cold Arctic air, with temperatures
:29:10. > :29:13.down at minus six in Oxfordshire. Since then, temperatures have
:29:14. > :29:20.surged, some 15 degrees up. Neonatal to start the day and this morning we
:29:21. > :29:27.have had a recent change. You can see a lot of cloud here in
:29:28. > :29:32.Kent with outbreaks of rain. You get a sense of the weather front
:29:33. > :29:37.becoming more organised an active. It's going to drag its heels. For
:29:38. > :29:46.some in Kent it might be still raining in a couple of hours, but
:29:47. > :29:50.eventually becoming dry. Clumps of showers in some areas. For Northern
:29:51. > :29:53.Ireland, cloud write with showers and Northern Ireland having a few
:29:54. > :29:57.showers. At least between the showers you are going to see some
:29:58. > :30:02.sunny spells but you are in the cold air. The Atlantic flexes its muscles
:30:03. > :30:06.tonight. A breeze will come in from the sea.
:30:07. > :30:09.Temperatures eight to ten in the west. Notice the clearer skies
:30:10. > :30:12.further north and east, that is where we'll have the lower
:30:13. > :30:16.temperatures and in parts of Scotland, pockets of frost in
:30:17. > :30:23.shelter, temperatures perhaps down to minus two. Looking at Wednesday's
:30:24. > :30:27.picture, an east-west split. A weak weather front brings splashes of
:30:28. > :30:30.rain. In the eastern side, some sunshine but it will feel cool,
:30:31. > :30:35.temperatures seven degrees in Norwich and Edinburgh as well.
:30:36. > :30:40.We are all in a cloudy boat on Thursday, dry weather but a bit of
:30:41. > :30:44.rain across the north-west of the UK, heaviest in Scotland. It will
:30:45. > :30:52.start to get a bit milder. We end the week with low pressure bringing
:30:53. > :30:56.another pulse of rain across the UK. The winds are coming in from a
:30:57. > :31:00.south-westerly mild direction so temperature-wise on Friday, highs to
:31:01. > :31:03.12. It will be the mildest day of this week.
:31:04. > :31:07.The stripe of rain is a cold front and, as that swings through, as we
:31:08. > :31:11.head through Friday night, we'll get into the colder air. That is what we
:31:12. > :31:14.are looking at this weekend, cold enough for some wintry showers, snow
:31:15. > :31:17.over the high ground of northern parts of the UK, whereas further
:31:18. > :31:21.south we areliking at blustery conditions this weekend with some
:31:22. > :31:22.pulses of rain. Quite a changeable picture and big swings in
:31:23. > :31:25.temperatures over the next few days. Now a reminder
:31:26. > :31:28.of our top story this lunchtime. A Russian fighter jet has been shot
:31:29. > :31:31.down by Turkish forces That's all from us,
:31:32. > :31:37.now on BBC One it's time
