winning the first time since 1936. -- after winning the title for the | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
first time. Good afternoon and welcome to the | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
BBC News at 1pm. The Prime Minister has called | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
for MPs from all parties to back plans for air strikes | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
against the Islamic State group in Syria, as Westminster prepares | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
for tomorrow's crucial vote. David Cameron met with the Cabinet | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
this morning and said they'd approved a motion, setting out | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
the need for military action as part of a "broader strategy" involving | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
diplomacy and humanitarian aid. The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
has given his Mps a free vote tomorrow, but he is appealing to | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
them to oppose the bombing campaign. Our political correspondent, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Robin Brant, reports. There are 24 hours to go before MPs | :02:05. | :02:17. | |
debate whether to attack in Syria. The Cabinet met this morning to | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
agree the final preparations. Will this bombing make Britain a safer | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
place? He is the man that will make the final decision on the bombing. | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
That comes after the vote in Parliament tomorrow. The Defence | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Secretary, Michael Fallon, has called for the RAF to drop bombs on | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
so called IS in Syria. The prime confident the majority of MPs agree. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
This has been a very deliberate and proper process: a cabinet meeting, | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
legal advice, a proper motion in front of the House of Commons, ten | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
and a half hours debate tomorrow in the House of Commons. | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
This is the man who made it possible, Jeremy Corbyn does not | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
support air strikes and he tried to make his MPs back him but many do | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
not agree. Your cultural secretary Angela Deputy and the Northern Irish | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
secretary, the list goes on. They will get a free vote that they | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
wanted that this lunchtime there was no letup as the Labour leader to try | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
to try and persuade them. As them to think again about the implications | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
of what we're doing and please vote against supporting this | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
government's military endeavours in Syria. The divisions in the Labour | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
Party are key to this book. David Cameron is confident he has around | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
320 on his own side who will back him and another 50 Labour MPs to | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
support air strikes and ten others from the DUP and Liberal Democrats | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
to agree. Remember some on his own side don't want it and will put | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
against it. -- and will vote against it. There is no pine for the final | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
state of Syria and they know less about the outcome of this war than | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
we knew about Libya and Iraq and that how badly they turned out. As | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
the prospect of British bombing nears, peaceful protest continued. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
This was Glasgow last night. The matter what side you are on everyone | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
seems to agree that this is the start of something and not the end. | :04:26. | :04:26. | |
Well, David Cameron's case for British military strikes | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
in Syria is that RAF strikes against IS targets in Iraq have proved | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
successful and he says extending them is "the right thing to do". | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
But there are still questions about the exact nature and scope of the | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
proposed mission and what difference British strikes would make. | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Our diplomatic correspondent, Caroline Hawley, reports. | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
British aircraft have been bombing IS targets in Iraq for over a year. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
The government argues that it strikes in Syria would help cut the | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
supply lines to the group and would make a difference. RAF tornadoes are | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
poised to expand their mission in the Middle East. The US and France | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
are already bombing targets in northern Syria and the German | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
government has today agreed on a support role. British aircraft are | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
conducting intelligence gathering. The Cameron says the UK would bring | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
special capabilities to the coalition. The missiles carried by | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
the attorney was our highly accurate. The RAF currently has a | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
tornadoes based in Cyprus. The plan is to increase that to ten. They | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
will be supplemented by the deployment of-fighters. -- typhoon | :05:36. | :05:44. | |
fighters. The government says it will not defeat IS but it will | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
degrade. It. Then expanding further in Syria and it will relieve the | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
pressure on opposition forces that are being attacked by IS. They can | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
enhance the prospects of the political negotiations that are now | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
under way from leading to a new and more secure Syrian state. These IS | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
tunnels, discovered by Kurdish fighters in Iraq, are a reminder of | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
how difficult the militants are to target. This is not a bunch of | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
fanatical gangsters using brutality in Iraq and Syria, it is a network, | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
it is a brand, it is an inspiration sadly to a lot of young people. This | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
is not going to be defeated with more bombs in Syria. There is broad | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
agreement on the danger posed by so-called Islamic State. Major | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
questions still exist on the best way of confronting them. | :06:45. | :06:45. | |
Let's speak to our assistant political editor, Norman Smith. | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
A big day ahead of Westminster tomorrow and a decisive day. The | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
fact it is going ahead shows that the Prime Minister is confident he | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
has the numbers that he needs. This is the motion that MPs will be | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
putting on a ten hours of debate tomorrow. Prime Minister's Questions | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
has been scrapped to allow a full day of debate on this motion and the | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
expectation is that David Cameron will win comfortably. But do not let | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
that disguise the difficult questions that David Cameron will | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
face MPs, particularly about who will provide the ground troops to | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
take on IS. There is scepticism about his suggestion that there are | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
70,000 moderate fighters ready to take it to IS. MPs are questioning | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
who they are and whether they will work together and whether they will | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
fight IS instead of President Assad. The motion stresses the need for a | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
diplomatic and humanitarian plan and it cites the US backing, but it | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
stresses the need to avoid civilian casualties. This lunchtime, the | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has warned that civilians will be | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
killed. He said that we will kill people in their homes with our | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
bombs. He has urged Labour Party members to press their MPs to oppose | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
action. As for the Liberal Democrats, they will decide their | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
position later tonight. The Scottish National Party are against the | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
motion. MPs might vote for this, but be aware there are serious doubts | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
and apprehension about what Britain is getting into. | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
Thousands of operations and hospital appointments in England | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
have been cancelled today, despite a planned walk-out | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
Two further strikes have been suspended while the British Medical | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Association and the government try to resolve their dispute about a | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
Our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes, reports. | :08:40. | :08:54. | |
This man has already had an operation cancelled three times. The | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
strike meant that it was put back again. His response to a fourth | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
translation is not what we might have expected. It is annoying, but | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
in this case I 100% behind them. What can they do? They have been | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
driven against a brick wall and they cannot do anything else. I would do | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
the same if I was a junior At the Royal Blackburn Hospital, | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
plans were in place to cope with the threat | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
of a strike by junior doctors. doctor. Senior staff are ready to | :09:23. | :09:35. | |
fill the gaps left by the junior colleagues. Our priority is to make | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
sure that patients get the care that they need. We needed to do a lot of | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
planning for today so that we know that our contingency plans an | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
effective and we can put in place the plan is to make sure that we | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
have the doctors on the ward to deliver the care that patients will | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
require. This hospital has had to cancel around 10% of the operations | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
that were scheduled to take place today. Across England, that means | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
between 4000-5000 cancelled operations and across England many | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
more outpatient appointments were rescheduled. The BMA and the | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
government now have until January to resolve this dispute. Many junior | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
doctors believe that the threat of strike action and the disruption it | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
cause was justified. Although patients have been disrupted and I | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
am sorry that has happened, I feel that something good can come from | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
this and overall I think in the long term if we can get a second their | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
contracts we can improve patient safety in the long term. At this | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
hospital staff had been busy rebooting 700 cancelled | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
appointments. At this other hospital, 47 operations were | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
cancelled and patients were told to come in if they could. Many beds. We | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
know that many of the patients who would have been seen are still | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
attending for the outpatient clinic appointments as normal. The main | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
factor has been our operations that we have had to postpone today. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Deadline is now in place for a resolution of this row over a new | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
contract with junior doctors. If talks fail, strikes could be back on | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
the agenda along with more destruction for patients. A report | :11:20. | :11:31. | |
by medical experts have suggested that the Yorkshire Rapper, Peter | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Sutcliffe, should be taken out of hospital and returned to prison. | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Sutcliffe - who murdered 13 women - started his 20 life sentences | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
in a standard jail, but was moved to Broadmoor in 1984. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
The Justice Secretary must give the final consent to that. | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
Our correspondent, Danny Savage, reports. | :11:48. | :11:48. | |
Peter Sutcliffe, a notorious 20th-century serial killer. | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
He murdered 13 women over a six-year period | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
Now aged 69, he has spent most of his jail sentence in Broadmoor | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
He was sent here after being diagnosed with paranoid | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
schizophrenia, but it is now understood he is no longer mentally | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Her son has today given his view on what he makes | :12:07. | :12:17. | |
There is a difference between Broadmoor and prison, | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
but I'm not in a position where I'm full of anger and hatred, | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
I'm not sure whether or not he needed to be in Broadmoor or not, | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
but what I do believe is he is ill, he must have been ill to have done | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
the things that he did, it's 40 years since it happened, I let the | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
professionals make the decisions, and hopefully they have made | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Sutcliffe's last victim was Jacqueline Hill in 1980. | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
The police reconstructed her last movements in Headingley in Leeds. | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
The killer was finally caught the following year. | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
Wherever you are here in West Yorkshire, | :12:59. | :12:59. | |
you're never too far from somewhere where the Yorkshire Ripper struck. | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
His serial killings left people terrified to go out for years, | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
but today isn't about moving him towards freedom. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
It was ruled some years ago that Peter Sutcliffe will never | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
But what do experts make of the move from a secure hospital to a prison? | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
Mental disorder, specifically schizophrenia | :13:23. | :13:23. | |
in this case, as we reported, is a severe and enduring condition. | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
Its symptoms can abate with treatment, | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
however it is unlikely to completely go away if treatment is stopped. | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
And one destination for Peter Sutcliffe could be | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
Wakefield Prison, in the very county where he repeatedly killed. | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
Danny Savage, BBC News, West Yorkshire. | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
Well, our correspondent, Duncan Kennedy, is at | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
Two things. First we will get confirmation from the doctors and | :13:56. | :14:11. | |
psychiatrists that Peter Sutcliffe's paranoid schizophrenia | :14:12. | :14:20. | |
is really under control and there -- and IT produces a different of risk. | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Michael Gove will have to decide whether to act on the clinical | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
advice or whether to seek further or family advice. It is highly | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
sensitive. Peter Sutcliffe, despite his mental illness, was responsible | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
for the murder of 13 women and the attempted murder of seven others. | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
Michael Gove will want to take his time on this and we have just hired | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
that he may want to take six months to make his decision whether to move | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
him. -- we have just heard. It is not about moving Peter Sutcliffe to | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
any kind of open prison or releasing him. In 2009-2010, the High Court | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
ruled he must spend his whole life behind bars of whatever type that | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
is. The decision is whether he stays in the hospital or moves to a | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
maximum security prison where life will be different. | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
The Prime Minister has called on Mps "across all parties" to support him | :15:14. | :15:17. | |

In sport: Chelsea have unveiled plans for only 60,000 seater stadium | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
on the site of Stamford Bridge. The local council will decide on the | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
application after successful consultation. | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
It's day two at the climate change summit in Paris, where delegates are | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
getting down to the nitty gritty of thrashing out a global deal to | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
China remains the world's biggest carbon emitter. | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
Just this week the authorities in Beijing have warned | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
about air pollution in the capital, and told industrial plants to | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
Work on construction sites was suspended | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
and people were warned to cut down how much time they spend outdoors. | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
It might not seem like it, but it is the middle | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
The air is so polluted, it has darkened the sky. | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
A recent study showed that even breathing this kind of air | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
for an hour can reduce a person's life expectancy by 20 minutes. | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
It is akin to being a heavy smoker, smoking a pack and a half | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
We wanted to know, how are people in the city coping with the bad air? | :16:39. | :16:48. | |
TRANSLATION: I'm trying to avoid going outside, | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
my throat hurts, and I think people should drive less and all | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
TRANSLATION: I don't have a face mask. | :16:55. | :17:05. | |
I am used to bad air now because I've always worked on the streets. | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
On days like this it is very easy to fall ill, the smog definitely | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
TRANSLATION: I have to keep working to earn | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
a living, I have not bought any facemasks. | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
Pollution is a serious issue, but ordinary people like me have no | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
A recent survey showed the majority of people in China's | :17:26. | :17:35. | |
biggest cities have little faith that the polluted air will improve | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
Despite pledges coming from the Paris conference, most believe | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
At the other end of the scale, it's small islands like Vanuatu in the | :17:44. | :17:57. | |
Pacific that are already threatened by the effects of climate change. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
These low-lying islands are predicted to be one | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
of the first nations to be submerged by rising seas. | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
Matthew Price reports from the village of Tokaru. | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
This is the ferry service which is taking people across to some | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
You can see that this village is right at sea level, | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
there is barely a metre or so that would have to rise to get up | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
Because when there are storm surges, cyclones, tropical storms, | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
and the rest, like there was at the beginning of this year, | :18:38. | :18:46. | |
And what that meant during the last storm was that 200-300 | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
metres of village had water in it and they had to start from scratch | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
in many ways, and many buildings which they have had to rebuild. | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
That is why the chiefs of this village are now talking | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
They want to remove the whole village and get it to | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
And that is where they want to relocate, towards that hill, | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
to get to higher land, it is what many communities across the Pacific | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
As the sea levels rise, which in turn makes the storm surges | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
from tropical cyclones and the like, that much higher, | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
One of the big things which nations like Vanuatu are | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
hoping to see come from the Paris conference, is more funding to help | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
A jury has been watching CCTV images of a gang who stole tens | :19:49. | :19:59. | |
of millions of pounds worth of jewellery from a safety deposit | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
vault in London's Hatton Garden over the Easter weekend. | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
They were caught on one of the few working cameras covering | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
The court was told that other cameras weren't recording | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
because the unit operating them had been stolen. | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
From Woolwich Crown Court, here's Daniel Sandford. | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
This was the only moment during the heist when the men were caught | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
This man has never been identified, he has been referred to in court | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
With him is 60-year-old Daniel Jones who was earlier recorded out on | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
the street apparently coordinating part of the burglary using what | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
seems to be a walkie-talkie. All the main CCTV recorders in the | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
They stole an estimated ?14 million worth of jewellery, much of | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
They drilled through the wall of the Hatton Garden safety deposit | :20:47. | :20:56. | |
to break into the vault and to assist them the jury have a model | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
of the holes the burglars made in front of them, in the court room. | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
They have heard how Brian Reader, at 76 of the oldest of the men, came | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
to England's biggest ever burglary using someone else's bus pass. | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
Seeing in these newly released pictures from the trial, | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
most of the other robbers arrived at the scene of the crime | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
by white transit van, posing as work men in high visibility jackets. | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
They brought some of the equipment into the building | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
in wheelie bins, and made off with their loot the same way. | :21:25. | :21:33. | |
Air accident investigators in Indonesia have said that a | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
faulty component and errors by the pilots caused an Air Asia flight to | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
crash into the Java Sea a year ago, killing all 162 people on board. | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
Air accident investigators in Indonesia have said that a | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
faulty component and errors by the pilots caused an Air Asia flight to | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
crash into the Java Sea a year ago, killing all 162 people on board. | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
The report said a soldered joint in the Airbus A3-20's flight control | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
computer was cracked and during the flight from the Indonesian city | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
of Surabaya to Singapore it malfunctioned four times. | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
Banks that are built around an app on a smartphone rather than | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
a high street branch became a step closer to reality today when the | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Bank of England granted a licence to a new bank called Tandem. | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
Smartphone apps have become the most popular way of checking bank | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
accounts, so financial entrepreneurs are using them to bypass traditional | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
Our personal finance correspondent, Simon Gompertz, | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
This report contains flashing images. Mobile phone apps have taken | :22:21. | :22:33. | |
off to be the most popular way of banking, so people are setting up | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
banks that are little more than apps, targeting millions of | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
customers. Every we can make this perform better for the customer by | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
learning what preferences are. Like tandem Bank, based in London, using | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
140 staff it offers what traditional banks employ tens of thousands of | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
people to provide. We would like to be the first of the mammals, but we | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
think that customers will gradually realise they have an alternative to | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
the dinosaurs. We have financial services ready for a revolution. 250 | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
miles away, this bank thinks they can steal 5% of the banking market | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
with an app and you will not even need to use a password. How will you | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
do your banking when it is just an app and how will you stay safe? They | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
have stored your facial features, your voice patterns for security, so | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
you take a selfie and they will verify your identity and let you | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
into the app. You had to set up your account first and to do that with | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
your documents you just photograph them while you're sitting on the | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
sofa and a check these and you never have to go into a branch. Can you | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
trust a bank that is an app? Is it safe? It is very safe. It is based | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
around your face and your boys in your identity. It is based on | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
systems we have built from scratch using the best of encryption | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
technology. The challenge for the new bank will be persuading people | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
who tend to be reluctant to switch to take the plunge, but they could | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
pose a significant threat to their rivals on the high street. | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
There's a growing north-south divide in the standard of secondary | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
education in England according to Ofsted and children from poorer | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
Its annual report says a third of secondary schools | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
in the Midlands and the north of England are not good enough. | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
Our education correspondent, Robert Pigott, reports. | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
The teamwork and harmony that have brought success to Millfield science | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
and performing arts college, this secondary school near Blackburn | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
has achieved rapid improvement, two thirds of | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
What I would like you to do is to create as many words as possible... | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
Millfield was rated good in its last Ofsted inspection, partly | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
Ofsted says teaching and leadership of schools can be poor. | :25:03. | :25:22. | |
A third of secondary schools in Midlands and the North are not doing | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
well enough. 60 local authorities in the county and we have 13 of the | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
worst. A look at the map shows the widening divide. Local councils | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
where less than 60% of secondary pupils are in good schools are | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
concentrated in the North, in places like Bradford in Hartlepool. The | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
best performing areas are in the south, including some proprietors of | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
London. Problems recruiting good teachers and heads is exasperating | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
underachievement and teaching unions agree. Teacher recruitment has been | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
very difficult and it is getting more difficult all the time. 84% of | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
our members are saying it is more difficult than in previous years. | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
That has to affect those schools that are in more challenging areas | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
and some of those areas are in the North and Midlands. The Education | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
Secretary, Nicky Morgan, acknowledge that more action was needed to | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
tackle pockets of underperformance. She said the new national teaching | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
service being piloted next year in the North West would send some of | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
the best teachers to the areas that needed them most. | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
Your Christmas tree lights could be among a number of household | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
electronic goods slowing down the speed of your broadband. | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
That's the warning from the regulator Ofcom, | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
which says up to 6 million homes and offices could improve their wifi | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
They also say one and a half million homes in rural areas still can't get | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
the minimum broadband speed the Government is promising. | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
Here's our technology correspondent, Rory Cellan Jones. | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
Britain is speeding up as superfast broadband reaches much of the | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
country, but here in rural Devon they are still in the slow lane. | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
Graham is among 1.5 million in the countryside getting speeds of | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
The minimum the government now says will soon be guaranteed to everyone. | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
He says rural Britain is missing out. | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
I don't think the current programme is fair to rural areas compared to | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
urban areas, and so we have a programme which is serving the needs | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
of the towns and cities and not serving the needs of rural areas. | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
It is not just deep in the countryside that there are | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
issues, right in the centre of London this 1980s housing | :27:43. | :27:44. | |
development is another place where speeds are way below what the | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
A metropolitan area, there is absolutely no reason why | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
in 2015 every house has not got fast broadband. | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
BT have not installed it because they can't, | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
Ofcom says there are challenges in delivering better coverage, | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
but improving your Wi-Fi network can help. | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
The regulator has launched an app which checks your wireless signal | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
Some people might be able to use this app to improve their Wi-Fi | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
networks but many more will be concerned that they can't even get | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
a decent internet connection into their home in the first place. | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
They will be looking to Ofcom to put pressure | :28:22. | :28:24. | |
on the telecoms companies to speed up the roll out fast broadband. | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
It is BT's Openreach division which is responsible for many of | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
Critics say it is not doing a great job and would | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
Ofcom's new boss is reviewing the state | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
of the broadband market and makes it clear she is minded to things up. | :28:43. | :28:49. | |
I think there will be change, we are looking at a number | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
of options, but I think it is very unlikely that we will conclude that | :28:53. | :28:55. | |
the status quo which has worked over the last ten years is where we are | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
Where people do have fast broadband, they are now using it | :29:00. | :29:07. | |
for all sorts of services, and that means the gap between the digital | :29:08. | :29:10. | |
It is the first day of December and for many of us it will not feel like | :29:11. | :29:34. | |
it today. We did have some more typical winter weather in Scotland. | :29:35. | :29:37. | |
Here are some snowy scenes. We did not get the snow as expected in the | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
north-east of England. We got some slow in Scotland, but still levels | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
have been rising and mostly what is following in Scotland is rain. -- we | :29:48. | :29:54. | |
got some slow. South-westerly winds developing and some drizzle in the | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
Western Hills, but we will get some shelter and sunshine in the Midlands | :30:00. | :30:03. | |
and that will do good things for the temperatures, could reach 16 | :30:04. | :30:08. | |
Celsius. Temperatures rising across Scotland. It will be a mild wind for | :30:09. | :30:15. | |
all of us. Some drizzle on the hills and then the rain will come back to | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland and it will trickle down towards northern | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
England. By the time we reach rush hour tomorrow we will they colder | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
air returning to north-west Scotland were some showers. It should dry up | :30:28. | :30:33. | |
in Northern Ireland in the morning and the rain will move towards the | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
Borders and maybe into Snowdonia, but the rush-hour will start | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
blustery and dry, cloudy and mild. Through the day we will find this | :30:46. | :30:52. | |
rain stalling. It will. In north-west England and Wales and | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
will be some heavy rain over the hills. To the south and east it will | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
be brighter with sunshine and very mild, although it will be quite | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
breezy. The wind will ease through the day and it will be a lovely day | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
for Scotland and Northern Ireland with some sunshine and it will be | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
colder than today. There may be some frost in Scotland during tomorrow | :31:13. | :31:17. | |
night. This weather front keeps the rain going in this area across Wales | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
and Northern Ireland tomorrow night. The rain will clear away from | :31:23. | :31:24. | |
northern England on Thursday and will head into the Midlands. It is | :31:25. | :31:31. | |
turning cooler from the North but it will be another nice day on Thursday | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
for Scotland and Northern Ireland. It will not be as nice in Wales. We | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
have seen the rain that is continuing, there could be four | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
inches or more, so bear in mind this hotline number. The sunshine will | :31:44. | :31:51. | |
come out in Wales and northern England on Friday but only briefly | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
before wet and windy weather arrives just in time for the weekend. | :31:56. | :32:02. | |
