Up to 50 billion euros -
that could be the price the UK | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
has to pay to settle
the Brexit divorce bill. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
The UK has offered more money
in a bid to get trade | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
talks started next month. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
The Foreign Secretary says he hopes
talks can now move on. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:22 | |
The offer that the Prime Minister
is able to make at that council | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
will be one that guarantees
sufficient progress - I think that's | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
what everybody round the table -
all the 27 plus us - | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
wants to achieve. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
But the EU's chief negotiator
Michel Barnier says negotiations | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
are not over and more needs
to be done. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |

Murdered in 1996 -
lawyers for the man convicted | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
of killing Lin and Megan Russell say
they've uncovered new evidence that | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
could prove his innocence. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
Closed in the 1960s -
now some of the 4,000 miles | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
of railway lines could be re-opened
under new government plans | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
to boost the economy. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
Hundreds of thousands of tonnes
of perfectly edible food thrown away | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
in the UK every year -
a charity calls for better | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
labelling on packaging. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
In Wales, murdered just months
after leaving the Nantlle Valley - | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
now new evidence that could cast
doubt on who killed | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
Lyn and Megan Russell. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
And concern a lack of English
classes for Syrian refugees | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
will make it harder for them
to settle here. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:29 | |
Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at One. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
The Government has offered
to increase significantly the amount | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
of money it's willing to pay
the European Union as part | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
of the Brexit process. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
The BBC understands the Government
is now prepared to pay between 40 | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
and 50-billion euros
in an attempt to facilitate talks | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
on a future trade deal. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
But the EU's chief negotiator
Michel Barnier says the negotiation | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
is not over and that more work
is needed before trade | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
talks can begin. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
Our political correspondent
Leila Nathoo has this report. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
She hopes she on her way to the
divorce deal after rounds of | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
meetings, more money now on the
table to leave the EU. It is | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
understood that could be up to 50
billion euros paid over a number of | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
years to allow trade talks to begin.
The government won't get into | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
specific numbers but insists the UK
will meet its financial obligations. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
The Prime Minister is going to go
forward to the European Council with | 0:02:38 | 0:02:43 | |
a think a very fair offer and what
we want to see is progress towards | 0:02:43 | 0:02:50 | |
the second phase of the
negotiations, and that's really what | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
I think everybody now wants to do.
For now and the EU is refusing to | 0:02:53 | 0:02:58 | |
confirm anything has already been
agreed. Do you welcome Britain's | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
position to pay more, Mr Barnier? We
are still working. What does the UK | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
have to pay for? Things we signed up
to as EU members that have not yet | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
been delivered, including investment
projects in poorer regions, pensions | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
for EU staff, and guarantees of
loans to countries like Ukraine. Now | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
it appears some are prepared to
think longer term. As we leave, if | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
you compare the two together over a
40 year period, even on the net | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
terms, that would amount to about
£360 billion saving to the UK | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
Exchequer as we leave because we
will not make contributions at that | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
two-year period. Getting money back
from the EU was one of the main | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
pictures of the Leave campaign and
now Remainer is claimed voters were | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
mis-sold. They never said there was
going to be this big Bill to pay and | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
secondly we are not seeing the
central pledge that they made in | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
that campaign to win it, to persuade
your viewers who voted leave to Vote | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
Leave, it is not being delivered on.
The divorce bill is just one of | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
three areas on which Brussels wants
to see sufficient progress before | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
allowing talks to begin on a future
trading relationship. EU leaders | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
will meet in a fortnight to formally
decide whether Britain has offered | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
enough. Money may not longer be the
sticking point, the focus now is on | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
the Irish border. They are inching
towards a breakthrough but there is | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
still a long way to go before the
shape of Britain's departure becomes | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
clear. Leila Nathoo, BBC News,
Westminster. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
In a moment we'll be speaking
to our Europe Correspondent Damian | 0:04:30 | 0:04:40 | |
Grammaticas
but first our Assistant Political | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
Editor Norman Smith. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Would 40 to 50 billion be enough to
get the talks started? Ministers are | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
cautiously hopeful they can sell
this revised divorce payment of EU | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
to move on to trade talks but
they've got to be able to sell it to | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
their own MPs too and crucially to
the public. On the former the signs | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
are encouraging for the government
because there has not been a great | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
big bad Brexit backlash. In fact,
even those Tori Brexit ears, who | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
just a few days ago were saying we
cannot be held to ransom by the EU, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:14 | |
are now saying 40 billion, we could
live with that, and the former Tori | 0:05:14 | 0:05:20 | |
leader Iain Duncan-Smith saying,
look, we will save staggering | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
amounts of money by leaving the EU.
The real uncertainty is the public, | 0:05:23 | 0:05:28 | |
and that is where the government is
much more uncertain territory | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
because just a few months ago
Theresa May said the bill would be | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
20 billion euros and of course
remain campaigners have been | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
reminding people this morning that
during the referendum voters were | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
told we would be getting money back
from the EU, £350 million a week for | 0:05:43 | 0:05:50 | |
the NHS. So that is where ministers
are having to approach the debate | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
much more cautiously, not just
because the negotiations are not yet | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 | |
nailed down, but because they know
they have to be able to sell the | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
final deal to the public. Norman
Smith in Westminster, thank you. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
Damian Grammaticas in Brussels, what
is the reaction fair? What they have | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
been saying here is that good
progress has been made, there have | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
been concessions but they will not
confirm an agreement has been done. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
Michel Barnier this morning has been
in Germany speaking to audiences | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
there. This is what he had to tell
them. TRANSLATION: There is a third | 0:06:21 | 0:06:29 | |
subject which we are still working
on, despite the rumours in the media | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
today. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
And that is the subject
of | 0:06:36 | 0:06:37 | |
financial obligations. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
So, he said there are very clearly
we are still working on it, and | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
again he has said a second speech in
the last few minutes saying that | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
negotiations are ongoing and he
helps, but is not in position in a | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
minute to say that is sufficient
progress made. The EU will seek to | 0:06:52 | 0:06:59 | |
determine that on Monday when
Theresa May is due to come here to | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
meet Jean-Claude Juncker. But one
thing that I think is very important | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
to say in this is the EU view is
very simple, it's all about sorting | 0:07:06 | 0:07:12 | |
out financial commitments, financial
obligations that our current | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
obligations relating to the current
membership of the EU, and once this | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
is done, and if this is done, this
does not buy access to a future | 0:07:20 | 0:07:26 | |
trade deals. That is a separate
negotiation that will happen in the | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
future. What the EU is looking for
is this broad outline of the | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
agreement on the different areas and
saying that is still to be nailed | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
down, and ultimately it is actually
a decision that will be made by the | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
EU's 27 other member states at the
summit here in December. They are | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
the ones who will finally say
whether there has been a broad | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
agreement on the financial issues.
Damian Grammaticas in Brussels and | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Norman Smith in Westminster, thank
you both. President Trump has used | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
his Twitter account to share
inflammatory videos which were | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
posted online by the deputy leader
of the far right group Britain | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
First. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:12 | |
The videos purport to show Muslims
committing acts of violence. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
I looked at them. The third one is a
teenage boy pushing somebody off a | 0:08:14 | 0:08:21 | |
roof. Extraordinary the President of
the US is tweeting these videos. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
Even by the standards these are
ordinary to appear in a presidential | 0:08:24 | 0:08:31 | |
Twitter stream. They are unverified
but inflammatory videos. One of them | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
is a video that is said to be an
Islamist mob pushing a teenage boy | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
of the roof and there appear to be
bodies or people being pushed off a | 0:08:38 | 0:08:44 | |
roof but by whom and to the
individuals are is impossible to | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
say. There is a retweet of a 25
second video which it says is a | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
Muslim destroying a statue of the
Virgin Mary and a bearded man is | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
shown smashing the plaster statue.
There is a 35 seconds video in which | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
it says it is a Muslim migrant
beating up a boy on crutches. The | 0:08:58 | 0:09:05 | |
video shows somebody being beaten up
but we have no details. The | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
President makes no comment in these
retweets. They have come from the | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
account of Jane Frances-Kelly with
the deputy leader of the far right | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
group Britain First. She has tweeted
her delight that the President | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
should have done this. She says in
her twit, God bless you, Trump, God | 0:09:21 | 0:09:26 | |
bless America and she now knows that
those tweets she originated have | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
been shared by around 43 million
people. Donald Trump's antipathy | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
towards Muslims is well-known. But
the idea that a serving US President | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
should share these inflammatory
videos posted by far right group | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
shows you how far mainstream
political debate has shifted in the | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
States and of course it will feed
into the debate about his visit to | 0:09:48 | 0:09:53 | |
the UK next year. Richard Lister,
thank you. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
The American television
network NBC has sacked | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
one its biggest stars -
Matt Lauer - the host of Today - | 0:10:00 | 0:10:06 | |
its flagship morning news programme,
because of a sexual | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
misconduct allegation. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:09 | |
Mr Lauer, who's 59, has
presented the programme | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
for more than 20 years. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
A statement by NBC said he'd been
accused by a colleague | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
of "inappropriate sexual behaviour". | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
They said it was the first complaint
about his behaviour but they also | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
were given reason to believe it may
not have been an isolated incident. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
North Korea says it has
successfully tested a new type | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
of intercontinental ballistic
missile that can reach the whole | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
of continental United States. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
of continental United States. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
The country says it is its "most
powerful" ballistic missile to date. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
It landed in Japanese
waters but flew higher | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
than any other missile the North
had previously tested. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
The UN Security Council will hold
an emergency meeting later today. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Paul Adams is in South Korea
and sent us this report. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:51 | |
The face and the voice
of North Korean defiance. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
The announcer with news
of Pyongyang's latest | 0:10:56 | 0:10:57 | |
and boldest missile test. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
Kim Jong Un photographed
giving the order. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:02 | |
I approve this test
launch, he writes. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
For the party and the country,
courageously fire. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
This was the 23rd
missile test this year. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
The first since mid-September. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
It took off in the early
hours of the morning | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
north of the capital Pyongyang. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
north of the capital Pyongyang. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
It flew for 53 minutes,
landing in the sea 600 miles away. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
Crucially, higher than
any previous missile. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:30 | |
2,800 miles up into space. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:31 | |
Experts say this means North Korea
now has missiles capable of hitting | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
almost anywhere in America. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
After a pause in testing
that lasted 75 days, | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
this is a stark reminder
of the determination | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
of the North Korean leader
to pursue his nuclear | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
and missile programme. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
Today's statement from Pyongyang
that the programme poses no threat | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
to anyone provided the country's
interests are not infringed, | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
will come as little comfort. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
A missile was launched a little
while ago from North Korea. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
I will only tell you that we
will take care of it. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
A fresh challenge for President
Trump and his Administration. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
Little doubt here that this
represents something new. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
It went higher, frankly,
than any previous taken. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
It's a research and development
effort on their part, continuing | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
to build ballistic missiles. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:23 | |
to build ballistic missiles. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:24 | |
They could threaten
everywhere in the world. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
Korea's President on the phone
to Donald Trump this morning. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
The test took his government
by surprise and called it | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
a reckless provocation. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
South Korea responded with a missile
test of its own but warnings, | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
threats and pressure appear to be
having little effect. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
Kim Jong Un says North Korea now
has its own nuclear force. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
A bold claim but only
partially true. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:52 | |
He has the bombs and the missiles -
putting one on top of the other | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
and making it work,
that's still some way off. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
Lawyers for a man found guilty
of murdering a mother and daughter | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
in Kent in 1996 say they'll release
significant new evidence today that | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
raises serious questions
about his conviction. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
Lin Russell and her six-year-old
daughter, Megan, were attacked | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
as they walked along a quiet country
lane near the village | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
of Chillenden in Kent. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
Here's Wyre Davies. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:22 | |
Here's Wyre Davies. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:22 | |
Michael Stone has always denied
being involved in the attacks. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:28 | |
It was a notorious murder,
a brutal unprovoked | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
attack in rural Kent
on a | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 | |
family walking home
from a school swimming gala. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:37 | |
45-year-old Lin Russell
and her six-year-old | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
daughter Megan were killed
in the frenzied hammer attack. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
That one's quite heavy. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
But Josie Russell survived,
despite suffering terrible injuries. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
Nine-year-old Josie was left
for dead at this isolated spot | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
in the Kent countryside
on 9th of July 1996. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
She'd been walking
along this country lane | 0:13:53 | 0:14:05 | |
with her mum Lin and
six-year-old sister Megan, | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
they were going home just
on | 0:14:07 | 0:14:08 | |
the other side of this copse. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Michael Stone, a known criminal
and drug addict, was arrested a year | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
later and found guilty
of the Russell murders. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
He's serving a life sentence
but has always protested | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
his innocence. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:18 | |
There's no forensic evidence
against Stone and he was | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
convicted on the strength
of a disputed confession to a fellow | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
prisoner and Stone's legal team say
they now have compelling new | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
evidence linking this
man, Levi Bellfield, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
to the Russell murders. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:28 | |
The killer of schoolgirl
Milly Dowler, Amelie Delagrange, and | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
Marsha McDonnell, is serving
two full-life terms. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
Many say Bellfield has
committed dozens of similar | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
serious crimes. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
The similarities you've
got are a woman, | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
a blitz attack with something
heavy like a hammer, you | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
know, just those features make it
an extremely rare crime. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
I think in the absence
of other facts he would be a | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
good suspect. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:57 | |
From the high security Frankland
prison Michael Stone | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
acknowledged his violent criminal
past but told me that unlike | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Bellfield he had no history
of attacking women. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
You've got a track record
of violence, you hit a man | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
with a hammer, you've got... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
with a hammer, you've got... | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
Yeah, but it's just
desperate to link me | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
to the crime. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
But it's not even similar
because I went to the house of | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
someone who I found out was messing
about with people and I went around | 0:15:23 | 0:15:29 | |
his house to warn him not
to do it and he grabbed | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
my throat and I picked
a mallet, it wasn't | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
a hammer, it was a mallet,
to strike him with it | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
to
get him off my neck. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:38 | |
It's nothing like attacking
a child or a mother | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
and her child. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:42 | |
There's no similarity really. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:43 | |
Levi Bellfield has always denied
any involvement in the | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
Russell murders but later today
lawyers for Michael Stone will | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
release new evidence that the BBC
has seen and which they say it means | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
his case must now go
to the Court of Appeal. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |

A 15-year-boy has been remanded
in custody at Leeds Youth Court | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
after he appeared charged with
causing the deaths of five people | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
in a car crash in Leeds. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Two brothers of 12 and 15,
as well as another 15-year-old, | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
were killed, along with two men
in their 20s, | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
when a Renault Clio hit a tree
in the Meanwood area of the city | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
on Saturday night. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
Two of the country's largest train
operators could be broken up as part | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
of a new rail strategy
to improve services. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
The plans could also see railway
lines closed in the 1960s | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
reopened, if they can
help to boost the economy. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
But Labour have criticised the ideas
as "flimsy re-announcements". | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
Here's our transport
correspondent Richard Westcott. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:41 | |
Beeching report has been published.
5000 miles of railway and over 2000 | 0:16:44 | 0:16:49 | |
stations are to be closed. More than
50 years on, people still talk about | 0:16:49 | 0:16:55 | |
the Beeching cuts. Thousands of
miles of rail line were closed down. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
Now the Government says it might
open some other game. I come from | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
the north where a lot of the smaller
stations were closed down in the | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
1960s and it has made it very
difficult for people to get around. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
For people in villages there are a
lot of places that not serviced | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
well. I think it is a brilliant
idea. I was delighted to hear that | 0:17:13 | 0:17:19 | |
news. It worked here Scottish
Borders, where a reopened Beeching | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
line has been far more popular than
expected but new lines cost hundreds | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
of millions of pounds and even if
they are approved, could be many | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
years off. Ministers also want to
change who does what in our | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
railways. Right now, it is bitty and
complex. Private firms run the | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |
trains, the publicly owned Network
Rail runs the track and they are | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
often bad at working together to fix
problems. This is the East Coast | 0:17:43 | 0:17:53 | |
mainline. Virgin Trains flying up
and down between London and | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
Edinburgh. But this line has one of
the worst pun jollity records the | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
country is another Government wants
to change who is in charge of fixing | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
up and renewing the track amber
signals. Ministers plan to set up a | 0:18:00 | 0:18:07 | |
public-private partnership on the
line. The idea is that we have one | 0:18:07 | 0:18:12 | |
person in charge, one brand, a
pooling of resources, so that the | 0:18:12 | 0:18:17 | |
leadership team of the new East
Coast partnership is responsible for | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
the redeeming those of the tracks,
for planning repairs, for running | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
the trains. So a bigger role for
plough that countries were both | 0:18:24 | 0:18:29 | |
companies, plans to reopen
mothballed line. But Labour are not | 0:18:29 | 0:18:34 | |
convinced. How likely is that this
will happen when you have a | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
government that has a record of
downgrading, delays and | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
cancellations? They should follow
through on the commitments made in | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
2010, 2012, 2015 and 2017. The
Government is also talking about | 0:18:45 | 0:18:50 | |
breaking up two the biggest rail
franchises, Govia Thames league, | 0:18:50 | 0:18:55 | |
which includes striker riddled
southern trains, and great Western, | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
where InterCity southern services
between the south-western London | 0:18:58 | 0:19:05 | |
might be run by a different company.
The Government says it will all mean | 0:19:05 | 0:19:10 | |
better services. Opponents doubt it
will work, passengers just want | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
their trains to run on time. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
Our top story this lunchtime... | 0:19:17 | 0:19:22 | |
Up to 50 billion euros could be the
prize the UK has to pay to settle | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
the Brexit divorce bill. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
And still to come... | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
In Wales Today - they've come
from Syria to start a new life here, | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
but there's concern a lack
of English classes will | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
prevent them getting work. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
And Swansea's top scorer won't be
on the pitch to face Chelsea - | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
Abraham's on loan from the London
club and isn't allowed to play them. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
Every year, millions of tonnes
of perfectly good food | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
are being needlessly thrown away. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
Now manufacturers and retailers
are being urged to make labelling | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
on products clearer,
to stop the waste. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
The food charity Wrap says a third
of the UK's two million tonnes | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
of food waste is thrown away every
year simply because of | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
confusion over date labels. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:11 | |
Here's our environment
analyst, Roger Harrabin. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:18 | |
We throw away £5.5 billion worth of
food a year because it is not used | 0:20:18 | 0:20:24 | |
in time, according to the waste
manager Walne. -- Walne. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:34 | |
About a third of waste food
happens because people | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
are confused by food
labels, it says. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
We asked shoppers if
labels are clear enough. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
If you are a day passed something,
do you throw it away? | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
Not normally. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:44 | |
You've usually got a few
days, haven't you? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Roughly, if it looks
all right, you will eat it? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
Yeah, of course, yeah. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
And if it smells all
right, of course. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:51 | |
I've had toast with a bit
of green on and, like, | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
threw up but you live
and learn, don't you? | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
I'm a student and as long
as it is food I will pretty | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
much eat it, to be fair. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
So, what to do? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:02 | |
Well, fruit is what we
most often throw away. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
Mostly, we should keep it
in the fridge, Wrap says. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
It wants to see this little fridge
label on things that | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
would keep longer chilled. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
The idea as well is that
when you pick it up | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
with the new guidance
that is being recommended, | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
if it should go in the fridge it
will have a nice clear picture | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
of a fridge on it. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:21 | |
And food firms should put clear
labels on all produce | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
so people know Wrap's answers
to questions like these. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:29 | |
How cold should I keep my fridge? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
You should keep your fridge at five
Celsius or below, or food spoils. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
Should I keep potatoes
in the fridge? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
No, it turns the starch into sugar
and makes them gritty. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
What about pineapples in the fridge? | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
Yes if it is cut, no if it is whole. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:48 | |
Yes if it is cut, no if it is whole. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
That is a trick question. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
And here is a trick question
that divides the nation. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
Bread - in the fridge
or out of the fridge? | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
Wrap says the fridge actually
helps keep bread fresh. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
It stops it going mouldy. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
But also, it makes bread
tasted stale more quickly. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
So it is your choice. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
And what about milk? | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
It is something people throw away
too quickly, according to Wrap. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
Remember that you can freeze right
up to the use by date, | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
so even if you've got an open pack,
and we do in our own home, label up, | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
put it straight in the freezer
and then you can use | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
at another time. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:25 | |
Getting to know our food better
will leave cash in our wallets. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
It will also help prevent farmers
expanding into rainforest areas | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
to grow more food and also
reduce greenhouse gases. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
That's a big result
for a little label. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |

The European Court of Justice has
ruled that a window salesman | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
who worked for the same company
for 13 years but didn't | 0:22:44 | 0:22:49 | |
receive any paid leave
is entitled to claim his | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
full backdated holiday. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
He was a self-employed and. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
Legal experts say it could have big
implications for companies operating | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
in the so-called gig economy. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:01 | |
Our personal finance correspondent
Simon Gompertz reports. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:09 | |
Drivers, delivery riders, careers -
are they workers or self-employed? | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
And if they are workers, now there
is the question of whether they are | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
due back holiday pay. A judge said a
Briton who sold windows had not only | 0:23:16 | 0:23:26 | |
been wrongly treated as
self-employed but should be | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
compensated for the paid leave he
had mist. It can't be challenged in | 0:23:29 | 0:23:34 | |
terms of European law... His lawyer
said the decision was highly | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
significant. For him in means he can
potentially claim back for the | 0:23:37 | 0:23:42 | |
holiday that he didn't take for a
period of nearly 14 years of working | 0:23:42 | 0:23:48 | |
for a business, and he didn't take
that on the basis that he wasn't | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
going to be paid for that holiday.
So, if, like Mr King, the sash | 0:23:51 | 0:23:57 | |
window salesman, you want to get
compensation for your right to paid | 0:23:57 | 0:24:01 | |
leave, you have to be classified as
a worker or employee wrote, rather | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
than self-employed. If the time off
was undertaken, that is OK and there | 0:24:04 | 0:24:10 | |
is no limit on how much you can
build up, then the employer has to | 0:24:10 | 0:24:16 | |
pay you back for the leave that
you've mist. A group of Uber drivers | 0:24:16 | 0:24:22 | |
won tribunal case this month to be
treated as workers. Now bills for | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
holiday pay threatened to make these
cases much more costly. For too many | 0:24:26 | 0:24:31 | |
people in the gig economy it is like
a wild West, where employers dodge | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
their responsibilities and routinely
fail to pay them the minimum wage, | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
holiday pay, sick pay. But some
argue that piling restrictions on | 0:24:39 | 0:24:46 | |
so-called gig economy firms could
become to productive. At the moment | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
there is a lot of uncertainty and
that uncertainty could deter firms | 0:24:50 | 0:24:55 | |
from offering flexible working
arrangements that have helped keep | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
unemployment low and given people a
greater degree of flexibility than | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
they otherwise would have seen if we
didn't have things like Uber or | 0:25:01 | 0:25:07 | |
deliver root. The window salesman is
likely to be due thousands of | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
pounds, but who else? The legal
services adjusting it could | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
eventually be tens of thousands of
people. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:21 | |
A war crimes appeal hearing
in the Hague was cut short | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
dramatically when one defendant
drank what he said was poison | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
upon hearing the verdict. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:27 | |
Slobodan Praljak was one of six
former Bosnian Croat political | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
and military leaders up
before the court. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:31 | |
He was sentenced to 20 years
in prison in 2013 for crimes | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
in the city of Mostar. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:35 | |
The court was suspended
in confusion and the emergency | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
services were called. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:42 | |
The technology giant Apple is having
to deal with a major problem | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
with its online security. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
It's emerged that a flaw
in the latest version of its Mac | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
operating system, called High
Sierra, means your computer can be | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
accessed without a password. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:53 | |
Our technology correspondent
Rory Cellan-Jones is here. | 0:25:53 | 0:26:00 | |
A are busy working to fix this fast.
Deeply, deeply embarrassing for | 0:26:00 | 0:26:06 | |
Apple, which has always prided
itself on being more secure, it | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
thinks, and the software on PCs. A
Turkish security researcher noticed | 0:26:09 | 0:26:14 | |
this yesterday, Twitter to Apple,
you type in this one word, route, | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
you don't have to put in a password,
click a couple of times and you are | 0:26:18 | 0:26:23 | |
in. Isidoro Diaz, amazingly, been
spotted a couple of weeks ago on a | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
support forum for Apple users where
someone said it was a good | 0:26:27 | 0:26:36 | |
workaround to deal with other
problems, and then word spread and | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
Apple is having to rush to fix this
hole in its defences. In the last | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
few minutes we have to had some news
about the Uber, talking of security, | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
because there was a data breach
involving Uber last year with some | 0:26:45 | 0:26:50 | |
millions of customers and drivers,
and we now know how many people were | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
involved in the UK did talk we have
been pressing Uber. We asked how | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
many people in the UK and they
finally, with a figure, 2.7 million | 0:26:57 | 0:27:02 | |
drivers and riders. This happened
months ago and they told the world | 0:27:02 | 0:27:07 | |
nothing so they have faced pressure
for that. They are sane people do | 0:27:07 | 0:27:12 | |
not need to take any action because
they have not seen any evidence of | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
fraud or misuse but I think they
will be preparing themselves for big | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
fines for their failure to disclose
this in the first place. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:25 | |
England all-rounder Ben Stokes has
arrived in New Zealand | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
amid speculation that he could still
make an appearance in the Ashes. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
The 26-year-old, who was born

The England and Wales Cricket Board

A sculpture of the founder
of Pakistan, Mohammed Ali Jinah, has | 0:27:49 | 0:27:54 | |
been unveiled at the British Museum
in London to mark the 70th | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
anniversary of India's partition. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
The bronze bust has been
made by Philip Jackson, | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
who also sculpted the Gandhi figure
in Parliament Square | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
and footballer Bobby Moore
in front of Wembley Stadium. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
This report from Shabnam Mahmood
contains some flash photography. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:14 | |
Adding the final touches
to the bronze bust of the man known | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
as the founding father of Pakistan. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
The project marks the end of six
months of work for the sculptor, | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
who was inspired by old photographs
of Mohammed Ali Jinnah. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:29 | |
He was quite a formal man
and a lot of the photographs | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
show him sort of standing straight
onto the camera with his | 0:28:32 | 0:28:34 | |
arms down by his side. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
I was desperate to find something
that I could use to bring the... | 0:28:36 | 0:28:41 | |
Sort of bring a little bit
of humanity to the sculpture. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:46 | |
And then I noticed that he used
a monocle, which I suppose even | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
in those days was reasonably
unusual, and so I've got him holding | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
a monocle and I thought that made it
quite an interesting sculpture. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:56 | |
Mr Jinnah is on the
Viceroy's left... | 0:28:56 | 0:28:58 | |
Jinnah spent his younger years
studying law in London before | 0:28:58 | 0:29:04 | |
against the British. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:06 | |
He later demanded an independent
homeland for Muslims, | 0:29:06 | 0:29:10 | |
creating Pakistan in 1947. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:14 | |
Here at the British Museum,
the sculpture is unveiled | 0:29:14 | 0:29:16 | |
by the Mayor of London,
in front of a huge crowd of people. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:20 | |
Pakistan!
Pakistan! | 0:29:20 | 0:29:26 | |
It's been funded by
the government of Pakistan. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:31 | |
This has been conceived by us,
this has been funded | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
by the government of Pakistan,
and I think this is a tribute | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
by the people of Pakistan
to their great leader, | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
the founder of the nation. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
The statue will now move
to its permanent place | 0:29:40 | 0:29:44 | |
at Lincoln's Inn in central London,
where Mohammed Ali Jinnah | 0:29:44 | 0:29:46 | |
qualified as a barrister. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:47 | |
For many here, it's a tribute
that is long overdue. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:50 | |
In general, for our young
people and the like, | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
he's a leader that we should be
looking up to - his | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
principles, his ideas. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:57 | |
So I'm really proud
today, seeing the bust. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:01 | |
I think it's amazing,
particularly that it's been | 0:30:01 | 0:30:05 | |
made using newsreels,
because the photographs in those | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
days were not so good. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:12 | |
days were not so good. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:12 | |
in the partition of the Indian
subcontinent 70 years ago. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |

Time for the weather with Tomasz
Schafernaker. No prizes for guessing | 0:30:30 | 0:30:34 | |
what is ahead.
Yes, cold, but we like that, so take | 0:30:34 | 0:30:38 | |
all that fresh Arctic air,
especially outside in Oxford Street | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
in central London. That is the story
for this evening and overnight, so | 0:30:41 | 0:30:46 | |
lots of clear weather, not
absolutely everywhere, we have got | 0:30:46 | 0:30:49 | |
some showers around, and look at the
satellite and you can see a lot of | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
lumpy cloud coming in from the North
Sea. Those are showers which are | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
falling as a bit of sleet and snow
across the North York Moors, the | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
Pennines, but for most of us it is
still rain. Not quite cold enough | 0:31:00 | 0:31:04 | |
for snow even though I know it feels
chilly. Through the course of this | 0:31:04 | 0:31:08 | |
evening, a lot of clear whether.
Let's look at 60 because the | 0:31:08 | 0:31:12 | |
temperatures will already be barely
above freezing across Scotland. You | 0:31:12 | 0:31:16 | |
can see whether wintry must is. 4
degrees in Belfast, five in London, | 0:31:16 | 0:31:26 | |
four around the south coast, so more
or less the same whether you are in | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
the north of the country or the
south, temperatures will be around | 0:31:29 | 0:31:33 | |
three or four. Lots of clear whether
with occasional showers here and | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
where and quite a strong | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
with occasional showers here and
that is where it feels particularly | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
chilly. Tonight, city centre Luke
temperatures would be desperately | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
cold but will probably dipped down
to around freezing or below. Coastal | 0:31:45 | 0:31:49 | |
areas may be around two or three
degrees above zero but out in the | 0:31:49 | 0:31:57 | |
really cold areas, the Prince Potts,
we could get around minus six or | 0:31:57 | 0:32:01 | |
seven. It will be a repetition. Cold
morning, lots of crisp sunshine and | 0:32:01 | 0:32:10 | |
around the coasts, in the East,
sunshine. With the wind, in Norwich | 0:32:10 | 0:32:18 | |
and Newcastle, it is going to feel
like it is minus three degrees. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:23 | |
Chilly weather continues into Friday
but in some areas, the temperatures | 0:32:23 | 0:32:28 | |
are just starting to creep up and
that is a sign of things to come as | 0:32:28 | 0:32:31 | |
we head into the weekend because
with this area of high pressure... | 0:32:31 | 0:32:36 | |
High and low pressure is just wind
spinning around in different | 0:32:36 | 0:32:39 | |
directions, more or less. Within
this high pressure, we have slightly | 0:32:39 | 0:32:44 | |
milder air, and use the word mild
very, very loosely and is wafting in | 0:32:44 | 0:32:51 | |
ever so gently in our direction so
the temperatures will be gently | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
rising as we go through the course
of the weekend so maybe back up to | 0:32:54 | 0:32:58 | |
10 degrees but the thinking is that
well into next week, it looks like | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
it is going to turn cold once again.
Nothing unusual, typical weather for | 0:33:01 | 0:33:05 | |
the time of year.
Thank you. A reminder of our main | 0:33:05 | 0:33:09 | |
story... Up to 50 billion euros
could be the price the UK has to pay | 0:33:09 | 0:33:14 | |
to settle the Brexit divorce bill.
That is all from the | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 |
