"You quit." | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
Six of Ukip's senior members have
now resigned in protest | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
against the party
leader Henry Bolton. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
They've left because
he won't step down | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
after a vote against him | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
and a string of stories
about his private life. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
We'll bring you all
the latest from Westminster. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
If he hangs around politics, given
what has happened and the nature of | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
his inner sanctum, I don't think it
will be good for him or anyone he is | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
with. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
Also this lunchtime: | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
a government watchdog
questions the accuracy | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
of some of England's A&E
waiting time figures. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
The head of the army is to warn that
Britain's armed forces risk falling | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
behind Russia if they
aren't given more money. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |

Pressure continues to mount on UKIP
leader Henry Bolton this lunchtime | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
after four senior members
resigned, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
including the party's deputy leader,
its assistant deputy leader, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
its immigration spokesman,
its trade spokesman. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:54 | |
Deputy leader Margot Parker,
resigned last night. They've all | 0:02:00 | 0:02:07 | |
stood down in protest at Henry
Bolton's refusal to quit as leader, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
following a string of revelations
about his private life - even though | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
the party executive backed a vote of
no confidence in him. Our Political | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
Correspondent Alex Forysth, is at
Westminster. Over the course of the | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
weekend and over the course of the
morning, one after another, senior | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
figures in Ukip have walked away
from their positions on the front | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
bench in protest at the decision by
Henry Bolton to stay on, they say | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
his personal life has become too
much of a distraction and he has to | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
go. The question now is how long he
can hang on in his post and only | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
this morning Henry Bolton told me he
has no plans to | 0:02:33 | 0:02:39 | |
resign I'm not making any comment.
Despite growing pressure, he says | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
he's not going anywhere, Henry
Bolton insisting he wants to keep | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
leading Ukip, even though the ruling
body says he should quit and now, a | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
string of senior members have
resigned because he will not go. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
Including Margot Parker, he stepped
down as deputy leader, Mike Hookem | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
has quit as assistant deputy, Tim
Aker, as local government spokesman, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
David Curtin, as front man for
education, William Dartmouth has | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
given up his job as trade spokesman,
and John Bickley has walked away | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
from his role with immigration. If
he hangs around politics, given what | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
has happened and the nature of
everything that has happened, it | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
will not be good for him or everyone
he is with. My advice would be, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
look, Henry, we don't want to keep
arguing with you and causing you any | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
more trouble, why don't you just go
and sort out your personal life. It | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
is over his relationship with
25-year-old Jo Marney, he says it is | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
over after she had to apologise for
sending racist text messages, that | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
has not appease critics. After being
elected only four months ago, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:44 | |
promising to restore unity, his
position risks tearing the party | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
apart. This is where Ukip has marked
some of its big moments, outside | 0:03:48 | 0:03:54 | |
Europe house, the key EU base in
London, but after it's success in | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
the Brexit referendum, Ukip lost
direction and has been plagued by | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
bitter infighting, with four leaders
in just over a year, prompting some | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
to ask whether now anyone can lead
this party back from the brink. The | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
party chairman today insisted Ukip
still has a role in representing | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
those who backed Brexit. That is why
Ukip are so important and why we | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
must stay on the field of play, get
our house in order and do it | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
quickly, once we have, we have a
purpose. 17.4 million voters are | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
important. Even those embroiled in
the leadership crisis recognise how | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
damaging it is audible Likud party. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:38 | |
-- damaging it is for the league at
-- for the beleaguered party. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:48 | |
He says he does not want his future
to be decided by senior members | 0:04:48 | 0:04:55 | |
within Ukip. They will vote on his
future, that could be a vote not | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
just on the fate of Henry Bolton but
on the face of Ukip as a whole. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:08 | |
NHS England has been asked to
explain changes to the way hospitals | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
calculate their figures for Accident
and Emergency treatment times. The | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
UK Statistics Authority says the
alterations could have left people | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
reaching "misleading conclusions".
Our Health Editor, Hugh Pym is here | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
with more details. What has been
going on? The four our accident and | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
Emergency target for patients to be
discharged after admitting, that is | 0:05:28 | 0:05:34 | |
a gauge of how well it is doing,
what the statistics watchdog is | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
saying, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
is, we are not sure if you are
calculating these figures | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
accurately, people may have reached
misleading conclusions about how | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
well or not the local hospital is
doing, following information | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
supplied by the BBC about how
walking centres and minor injury | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
centres are treated by the trust,
they are allowed to include them in | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
figures if they run the centres but
not if they are elsewhere in the | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
local community run by a different
provider. It seems at least six | 0:06:03 | 0:06:11 | |
trusts started doing this and it
improved their performance, it may | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
well have been more. An e-mail seed
by the BBC suggests they may have | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
been in courage to do so by the
regulator, NHS Improvement, they say | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
it is up to individual trusts to
accurately report these figures, | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
there is no intention to
artificially inflate the figures, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
but certainly, the fact that the
stats watchdog is looking into this | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
suggests there is some worry about
it because these stats have to be | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
done transparently and any changes
are not acceptable unless they are | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
declared in advance. What difference
is likely to happen, what are they | 0:06:43 | 0:06:51 | |
being asked to do? The BBC
understands it could be every trust | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
must recalculate the figures going
back over a year, month on month | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
data may have to be changed. May not
change very much but the principle | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
of the thing. For a patient trying
to judge the performance of their | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
local hospital, these figures are
important, if it changes thanks to | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
the way the data has been compiled,
that is a pretty serious matter. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:17 | |
The head of the army says
the government must invest more | 0:07:17 | 0:07:23 | |
in the armed forces or risk falling
behind "potential enemies." | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
In a speech later this afternoon,
General Sir Nick Carter will say | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
Britain can't afford to sit back
while countries like Russia | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
improve their capabilities. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
His comments have been
approved by the Defence | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
Secretary Gavin Williamson | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
and come amid speculation that
the military is to face more cuts. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
Richard Galpin reports. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
For three years now, the Russian
military has been asserting itself | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
on the world stage. Playing a
Kieran, for example, in the Syrian | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
Civil War. -- playing a key role. It
has been spending heavily to develop | 0:07:50 | 0:07:57 | |
sophisticated weapons, like missiles
fired into Syria from the Caspian | 0:07:57 | 0:08:03 | |
Sea, a distance of almost 1000
miles. Now, the head of the British | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
Army, General Sir Nick Carter, is
claiming Russia's growing capability | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
including in cyber warfare is
eclipsing Britain's Armed Forces, | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
which are potentially facing further
deep cuts. In a speech later today, | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
is it better to say: | 0:08:22 | 0:08:29 | |
-- he is expected to say. If we go
back to the planning round in 2012, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:39 | |
when the army was reduced to 80,000,
there was a promise made of an | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
uplift to make sure that the army of
2020 was properly equipped and | 0:08:44 | 0:08:49 | |
capable. And it seems to me that the
government at the moment is | 0:08:49 | 0:08:56 | |
threatening to reduce that. And I
think that would be a big mistake. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
That fear of further budget cuts to
the army and other services is | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
probably what is driving today's
announcement by the army chief. It | 0:09:06 | 0:09:11 | |
is extremely unlikely British forces
will confront Russia alone. It would | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
only be as part of Nato, which has a
military budget more than ten times | 0:09:14 | 0:09:20 | |
that of the Russians. There is no
doubt Russia has become more | 0:09:20 | 0:09:27 | |
aggressive, these exercises, for
example, held last year in the | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
European part of the country. The
government here insist that with | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
commitments to Nato, Britain's
security is not in doubt. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:44 | |
A manufacturing firm that makes
ejector seats has admitted breaching | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
a health and safety law over
the death of a Red Arrows pilot. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham
died in 2011 after being | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
accidentally ejected from his plane. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:56 | |
Danny Savage is at
Lincoln Crown Court. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:03 | |
Sean Cunningham was 35 years old,
fast jet pilot with the RAF, he had | 0:10:03 | 0:10:09 | |
flown Tornados and seen action in
Iraq. His dream as a boy was to | 0:10:09 | 0:10:14 | |
become a red arrows pilot. Ascribed
as an absolute gentleman he achieved | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
his goal but was tragically killed
as he prepared for a training flight | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
back in 2011. -- described. The
manufacturer of the ejector seat | 0:10:22 | 0:10:28 | |
have pleaded guilty to breaching
health and safety laws. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:34 | |
This is the Red Arrows Hawk jet that
Sean Cunningham was rejected from, | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
the Egyptian seat was
unintentionally triggered as he | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
carried out his preflight checks, it
went off while the plane was | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
stationary on the ground. -- the
ejector seat. Not only did his seat | 0:10:46 | 0:10:52 | |
reject him from his brain, but the
parachute attached failed to deploy, | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
should have saved his life but
instead he crashed back down to the | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
ground, still strapped in the seat.
He died from his injuries. The Red | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
Arrows are based here at RAF scans
and in Lincolnshire, which is where | 0:11:06 | 0:11:12 | |
Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham
was injured, fatally, in November, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
2011. His inquest heard that an over
tightened nut and bolt stopped it | 0:11:15 | 0:11:21 | |
from working properly, and the
manufacturers of that seat, Martin | 0:11:21 | 0:11:26 | |
Baker, knew about the issue and told
some air forces but not the Ministry | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
of Defence, and so the engineers
here were unaware of the issue. Sean | 0:11:30 | 0:11:36 | |
Cunningham's sister, mother and
father were at Lincoln Crown Court | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
today, to hear the guilty plea from
Martin Baker. This has been a long | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
ordeal for them. We welcome the
conclusion of the coroner, which | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
confirmed what we knew all along.
Sean was blameless and his tragic | 0:11:48 | 0:11:55 | |
death... Excuse me... | 0:11:55 | 0:12:01 | |
death... Excuse me... His tragic
death was preventable. -- | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
Martin-Baker. The director of
Martin-Baker, John Martin, second | 0:12:04 | 0:12:10 | |
left, admitted the health and safety
charge on behalf the company, but | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
Martin-Baker continues to work with
the Red Arrows and the rest of the | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
RAF, as they make all of the ejector
seats for fast jets. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:24 | |
Martin-Baker have expressed their
deepest condolences to the family | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
and friends of Sean Cunningham, in a
statement today, they will face a | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
sentencing hearing next month. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:36 | |
The trial of a man accused
of the Finsbury Park | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
mosque attack has begun. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:40 | |
Darren Osborne is accused
of deliberately driving | 0:12:40 | 0:12:41 | |
a van into worshippers,
killing one person. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
He denies murder
and attempted murder. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
Daniel Sandford is following
the case at Woolwich Crown Court. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:53 | |
What happened in court today? The
jury were told that Darren Osborne | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
is facing charges of the murder of
Ali and the attempted murder of | 0:12:57 | 0:13:03 | |
other people, the prosecution
counsel said that the defendant | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
deliberately drove a heavy Luton box
van into a group of Muslims in the | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
early hours of the 19th and, and the
prosecution says the defendant was | 0:13:12 | 0:13:17 | |
trying to kill as many of the group
as possible. In the event he killed | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
one person, a 51 your old man,
Makram Ali, his family were in court | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
today. -- 51-year-old man. The
prosecution asked the jury why | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
someone would do such a wicked
thing, the prosecution says, easy | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
answer, Darren Osborne had left a
note, found in the van, and the note | 0:13:34 | 0:13:41 | |
read, why are their terrorist on our
streets today, three recent terror | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
attacks, children splattered against
walls at concerts. The prosecution | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
say Darren Osborne had become
obsessed also with events in | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
Rochdale, where Muslim men were
accused of abusing young women. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
Darren Osborne wrote in the note,
when people get it, this is | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
happening up and down our green and
pleasant land, feral inbred Muslim | 0:14:00 | 0:14:05 | |
men preying on children hunting in
packs. It is the prosecution's case | 0:14:05 | 0:14:10 | |
that this was a terrorist attack
designed to intimidate the Muslim | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
community. The case is set to last
about two weeks. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:19 | |
A 54-year-old man, arrested
after an eight-year-old girl | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
was stabbed to death near Walsall
in the West Midlands, | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
is understood to be her father. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
Mylee Billingham died in hospital | 0:14:27 | 0:14:28 | |
after being found seriously injured
on Saturday evening. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
Her father, believed
to be Bill Billingham, | 0:14:30 | 0:14:31 | |
is critically ill with a stab wound
to the stomach. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
Sima Kotecha reports. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
Eight-year-old Mylee Billingham,
described as a little angel, she was | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
stabbed to death at the weekend.
Tributes lay outside the bungalow in | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
the area of Brownhills, near
Walsall, it is where police were | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
called to just after 9pm, Saturday.
Mylee was found inside with serious | 0:14:52 | 0:14:59 | |
injuries, rushed to hospital but
police say medics were unable to | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
save her. She died a short time
later. A couple of doors down, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:07 | |
neighbours are in shock. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:13 | |
It's terrible. It's just... It's
usually quiet down here, nothing | 0:15:13 | 0:15:23 | |
like this happens down here. A
54-year-old man was arrested | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
yesterday on suspicion of attempted
murder. The BBC understands he is | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
Bill Billingham, the father of Mylee
Billingham. He was taken to hospital | 0:15:31 | 0:15:37 | |
with a stab wounds to his stomach
and is said to be in a critical | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
condition. At Miley's school
headteacher had this to say. We are | 0:15:41 | 0:15:46 | |
all number and in shock. Everyone at
the school is completely devastated. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
Mylee Billingham was dearly loved by
us or Geoff Hurst smile lit up the | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
room and in fact it never left her
face. She was a fun loving, happy | 0:15:55 | 0:16:01 | |
eight-year-old who had her whole
life ahead of her. She took a full | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
part in school life, particularly
and enjoying singing and performing. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
She was just a lovely girl. Our
hearts go out to her family at this | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
difficult time. Police are treating
what happened as a domestic incident | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
and say they're not looking for
anybody else. A postmortem | 0:16:14 | 0:16:21 | |
examination is taking place today to
try and work out the exact cause of | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
Mylee Billingham's. , the little
angel whose short life ended in a | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |

Six of Ukip's senior members have
now resigned in protest | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
against the party leader Henry
Bolton. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
And tributes are paid to Jimmy
Armfield, who has died aged 82. | 0:16:52 | 0:17:02 | |
As the working week begins
in the United States, | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
hundreds of thousands of employees
will not be behind their desks, | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
as federal government services
are still shut down. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
Senators held a rare
Sunday sitting yesterday, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:22 | |
but delayed a vote on a budget
measure which would have allowed | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
civil servants to go back to work. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:27 | |
Democrats and Republicans remain
in deadlock, with President Trump's | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
immigration policy one
of the main sticking points. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:31 | |
From Washington,
David Willis reports. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
Members of Congress met
throughout the weekend, | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
desperate to find a solution
to a crisis that has shutdown | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
desperate to find a solution
to a crisis that has shut down | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
the government of the largest
economy in the world. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
At the other end of Pennsylvania
Avenue, the president, | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
too, was in residence,
after shelving plans to attend | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
a fund-raising dinner
at his Florida retreat Mar-a-Lago. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
At issue, the fate of these people,
the so-called dreamers, | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
young people brought
to the United States illegally | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
whom President Trump is threatening
to deport in a few weeks' time. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:03 | |
Democrats want to link their fate
to a funding bill that | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
would end the shutdown. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
The Republicans want
it debated separately. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:14 | |
Yet despite having the majority
in both houses of Congress, | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
Republicans need the opposition's
support in order to get a funding | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
bill through the Senate. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
After several days of rancour,
the Republican leader pledged | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
to bring the dreamers issue up
for debate within the next | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
few weeks, in return
for ending the shutdown. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
The shutdown should stop today. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:40 | |
And we'll soon have a vote that
will allow us to do exactly that. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:48 | |
So, let's step back from the brink,
let's stop victimising the American | 0:18:48 | 0:18:54 | |
people and get back to work
on their behalf. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
But Democrats are adamant they want
an earlier agreement to protect | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
the dreamers from deportation. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
We've had several conversations,
talks will continue. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
But we have yet to reach
an agreement on a path forward that | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
would be acceptable for both sides. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
The White House released pictures
of President Trump receiving | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
updates from Capitol Hill,
but the president has been | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
criticised by Democrats
for what they call his shifting | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
positions on immigration. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:25 | |
Chuck Schumer said on Saturday
it was like negotiating with Jell-o. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
The last government shop down
here in 2013 lasted 16 days | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
The last government shutdown
here in 2013 lasted 16 days | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
and caused the closure of many
national parks and monuments. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
It also led to around 800,000
workers being placed | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
on temporary leave. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
The effects of this shutdown
will start to be felt today, | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
as the working week gets
under way here. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
The Senate will reconvene later
in the hope of resolving this game | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
of political brinkmanship. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
The vote is set for noon. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
David Willis, BBC News, Washington. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
Our correspondent Jane
O'Brien is in Washington. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
How likely is it that senators will
reach a deal today? Well, they do | 0:20:02 | 0:20:10 | |
seem to be inching out close to some
kind of compromises, but the issue | 0:20:10 | 0:20:17 | |
will be, will it be enough? The
Republicans are suggesting, | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
indicating, that they will be open
to look at the legislation to deal | 0:20:19 | 0:20:25 | |
with this issue of dreamers in the
next few weeks or so. But Democrats | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
are very worried that if they don't
get a firm guarantee, they will lose | 0:20:29 | 0:20:35 | |
all leverage that they would have
obtained by shutting down the | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
government. So, the irony is that
most Americans think that their | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
SHOULD be some protection for
dreamers, but most Americans also | 0:20:40 | 0:20:45 | |
want the government to stay open. So
at what point does this issue become | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
a worth the fight that we're now
seeing in Congress over government | 0:20:49 | 0:20:56 | |
funding? That will be the point I
think at which one party or the | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
other will blink is in the political
fallout from this is likely to be | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
considerable on both sides of. There
is enough blame here to go around | 0:21:02 | 0:21:08 | |
all parties and the President. And
of course we're coming into the | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
mid-term elections, when the fate of
Congress could change hands. There | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
could be a shift in power. So there
is a lot riding on this. It's not | 0:21:13 | 0:21:21 | |
just about immigration. And also,
today is when most people will start | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
to feel the effects of the shutdown.
At the weekend people were not at | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
work and were not asking for
services. Today, that could change | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
and we could see an increase in
anger from ordinary Americans are | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
able Jane O'Brien, many thanks. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson
is meeting his US counterpart Rex | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Tillerson in London this lunchtime. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
The two men are expected
to discuss the situation | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
in Syria, Iran and Yemen. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:47 | |
The meeting comes at a difficult
time in transatlantic relations - | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
after President Trump refused
to visit the UK and open | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
the new US embassy. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:54 | |
Let's speak to our Diplomatic
Correspondent James Landale | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
who's in central London. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:57 | |
What have they been discussing? | 0:21:57 | 0:22:04 | |
Well, Rex Tillerson met the Prime
Minister in Downing Street this | 0:22:04 | 0:22:10 | |
morning and he is having lunch with
the the Foreign Secretary at his | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
official residence right now. The
context for this meeting was clearly | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
the rocky patch in the UK-US
relationship. Both countries have | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
differences over fundamental issues
of international affairs and also | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
the president is refusing to come to
Britain to open his new embassy. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
What was interesting in that public
remarks that were made in the last | 0:22:25 | 0:22:31 | |
hour is that yes, Rex Tillerson, the
Secretary of State gave the usual | 0:22:31 | 0:22:36 | |
reassurances about the importance of
the relationship, particularly on | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
security and the economy, but he
also said, we need to pay attention | 0:22:39 | 0:22:44 | |
to that relationship. That was a
tacit acknowledgement that things | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
are not great at moment and need to
be improved before the Prime | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
Minister meets the President in
Davos later this week. In terms of | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
the substance of the talks, they
discussed the situation in northern | 0:22:53 | 0:22:59 | |
Syria, the new Turkish offensive
against the Kurds and they were at | 0:22:59 | 0:23:04 | |
one in saying there needs to be
restraint on all sides. Yes, Turkey | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
has a right to defend its border and
the Kurds have been a strong ally in | 0:23:06 | 0:23:13 | |
the fight against IS but there needs
to be restraint and a limit on | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
civilian casualties. On the other
crucial part of the talks, Iran, I | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
think there will be less common
ground. That's what they're talking | 0:23:19 | 0:23:25 | |
about right now. The president is
fiercely opposed to the Iran nuclear | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
deal. The British and the Europeans
are trying to do whatever they can | 0:23:28 | 0:23:34 | |
to protect that deal, which they
think genuinely makes the world | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
safer. So, that I think will be the
area where the talks will be quite | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
tough. Thank you. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
A former Treasury minister
and Remain supporter says economic | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
growth in the UK is likely to be
better than predicted this year. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
Lord O'Neill thinks gloomy forecasts
about the possible effects of Brexit | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
are likely to be "dwarfed"
by improved global economy activity. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
Our economics correspondent
Andy Verity is here - | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
unexpected views from a Remainer? | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
That's right. If you remove a 18
months ago, the Remain side were | 0:24:00 | 0:24:08 | |
saying it would be a disaster if we
had a Brexit vote. The Treasury | 0:24:08 | 0:24:13 | |
itself was saying the effects would
be immediate and profound, talking | 0:24:13 | 0:24:19 | |
about half a million more
unemployed, maybe 800,000. That | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
didn't happen, in fact come and
implement has gone down. The growth | 0:24:21 | 0:24:28 | |
has not been quite what we were used
to before, it has generally been | 0:24:28 | 0:24:33 | |
less than 2% for the last couple of
years. We know that they have had a | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
uncertainty on the one hand, because
we don't know the outcome of the | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
Brexit negotiations. That makes it
difficult for corporations who want | 0:24:39 | 0:24:40 | |
to invest to be able to predict how
the future is going to work out and | 0:24:40 | 0:24:47 | |
work out whether they want to invest
or not. That has slowed it down. On | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
the other hand we have the weaker
pound, which has slowed down | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
consumer spending because imports
have got more expensive, but it has | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
helped exporters, because their
goods are more competitive. That has | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
helped growth, as the former
Treasury Minister Lord O'Neill has | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
been forced to admit. I certainly
would not have thought the UK | 0:25:01 | 0:25:08 | |
economy would be as robust as it
currently seems. But that is because | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
it looks to me like some parts of
the country, led by the north-west, | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
are actually doing way better than
people seemed to realise or | 0:25:15 | 0:25:21 | |
appreciate, as well as this crucial
fact, the rest of the world is doing | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
way better than many people would
have thought a year ago. So, it | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
makes it easier for the UK. So,
ironically, Rita, one of the biggest | 0:25:28 | 0:25:34 | |
reasons is that the Eurozone is
doing a lot better, because the | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
pound is weaker, they want our cars,
which has helped to lift car | 0:25:36 | 0:25:42 | |
exports, while at home we are not
buying as many cars. It has all | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
helped to rebalance the economy and
although growth is not as good as it | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
used to be, it is certainly better
than most of the dire predictions. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:55 | |
One in three young women in the UK
are avoiding smear tests | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
for cervical cancer,
because they're embarrassed | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
to show their bodies to doctors,
according to a health charity. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust,
which surveyed more than 2000 women, | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
said cervical cancer is the most
common cancer in women under 35, | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
yet the majority of those questioned
didn't know they were most at risk. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
Here's our Health Correspondent
Michelle Roberts. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
A smear test can help find abnormal
cells before they turn into cancer. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
But of the 5 million women in the UK
invited for screening each year, one | 0:26:18 | 0:26:24 | |
in four do not attend. We need a bit
more education around the problems, | 0:26:24 | 0:26:30 | |
around what a smear test is. For me
like being under 205I just don't do | 0:26:30 | 0:26:36 | |
it told anything about it. When you
got your U were in different about | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
going? Indeed I was a little bit
worried, what is it about? But I | 0:26:39 | 0:26:45 | |
really have to do it and actually I
haven't done it but probably I have | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
to do it. I think it will be awhile
before I just kind of like have to | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
go for it, and that's basically all
there is to it. It is helpful to | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
have a friend who can come with you
maybe and sit in the waiting area | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
and stuff that. The survey by Jo's
Cervical Cancer Trust found one in | 0:26:59 | 0:27:05 | |
three of young women aged between 25
and 35 were embarrassed to attend | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
the smear test. A third said they
would not go if they had not waxed | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
their bikini area. One in six said
they would rather miss their smear | 0:27:13 | 0:27:18 | |
test then go to a gym class. When
Jade Goody died of cervical cancer | 0:27:18 | 0:27:24 | |
in 2009, extra women turned up for
tests. A decade on the number | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
turning up is low again and experts
are worried. Virtually all of my | 0:27:27 | 0:27:33 | |
patients feel the need to apologise
to me before we start. I'm really | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
sorry I haven't waxed my legs, I am
sorry I didn't shave, I am sorry I | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
had a show yesterday rather than
this morning. My answer is, I don't | 0:27:41 | 0:27:45 | |
think about that, I am here to do a
job, we're doing the examination or | 0:27:45 | 0:27:52 | |
the proceeding and that is that.
This man is chief executive of Jo's | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
Cervical Cancer Trust. He says body
image issues could be putting lives | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
in danger. Cycle cancer is largely
preventable. Smear tests prevent a | 0:27:58 | 0:28:04 | |
large percentage of all cervical
cancers of. If women are being put | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
off attending screening, there is a
real risk that more women being | 0:28:07 | 0:28:12 | |
diagnosed and potentially losing
their lives. Women aged 25 dew 49 | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
are offered tests every three years
on the NHS. Those between 50 and 64, | 0:28:14 | 0:28:20 | |
every five years. Getting checked
save lives. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:27 | |
Princess Eugenie has become
engaged to her long-term | 0:28:27 | 0:28:28 | |
boyfriend Jack Brooksbank. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:29 | |
A statement from Buckingham Palace
said the couple got engaged | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
in Nicaragua earlier this month. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:33 | |
The wedding will take place
in the autumn of this year | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
at George's Chapel in Windsor. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:41 | |
The former England football captain,
Jimmy Armfield, has died aged 82. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
He played for Blackpool
for seventeen years and represented | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
his country 43 times. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:47 | |
After retiring he worked
as a summariser for BBC Radio. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:54 | |
Our sports correspondent David
Ornsetin looks back at his life. | 0:28:54 | 0:29:01 | |
Jimmy Armfield rose to prominence in
black and white. But he would though | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
on to carve the most colourful of
careers. Born in Greater Manchester | 0:29:04 | 0:29:09 | |
in 1935, Armfield was perhaps
destined for the field. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:15 | |
COMMENTATOR: Armfield moving up...
And it has hit the post can nearly | 0:29:15 | 0:29:21 | |
always had a little tennis ball in
my pocket, would push it along the | 0:29:21 | 0:29:24 | |
street and play with it if that's
what led to me becoming a | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
footballer. One club players have
always been where but Armfield was | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
one of them, playing 627 games for
Blackpool, many of them as captain, | 0:29:30 | 0:29:37 | |
over 17 years as a dashing
right-back. It is why they have | 0:29:37 | 0:29:42 | |
since named a stand after him and
elected a statue in his honour. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:44 | |
Jimmy was loyal and loved. He won 43
caps for England. Armfield, a | 0:29:44 | 0:29:52 | |
perfect interception... 15 of them
as skipper and he was part of the | 0:29:52 | 0:29:58 | |
1966 World Cup winning squad, only
injury preventing him from playing | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
in the tournament. They said, you're
not playing in the warm-ups, you've | 0:30:00 | 0:30:06 | |
got to be fit for the start of the
World Cup. And I never played again. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:11 | |
It is better we won, because today,
people look back and they say, you | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
remember the World Cup squad, you
were a member, it is not the same as | 0:30:14 | 0:30:20 | |
being in the XI who played in the
final. But the point was, it is | 0:30:20 | 0:30:24 | |
better that they won. Later,
Armfield turned his hand to | 0:30:24 | 0:30:27 | |
management, taking Leeds United to
the 1975 European Cup Final. He | 0:30:27 | 0:30:33 | |
spent the best part of 40 years as a
summariser for the BBC, becoming | 0:30:33 | 0:30:35 | |
known to many as the voice of
football. In a statement the | 0:30:35 | 0:30:40 | |
Armfield family said to me passed
away peacefully after a decade-long | 0:30:40 | 0:30:45 | |
battle with cancer. The flow of
tributes, a fitting reflection of | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
one of the greats of English
football. The former England | 0:30:47 | 0:30:53 | |
football captain Jimmy Armfield, who
has died aged 82. Let's have a look | 0:30:53 | 0:30:57 | |
at the weather. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:05 | |
at the weather. We have still got | 0:31:06 | 0:31:07 | |
has died aged 82. Let's have a look
at the weather. We have still got | 0:31:07 | 0:31:07 | |
some lying snow in some areas but it
is starting to fall in the coming | 0:31:07 | 0:31:14 | |
days. Yesterday some places
struggled to get above freezing, | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
whilst the milder air was already
arriving in south-west England. By | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
tomorrow most of us will be in
double figures, maybe even higher | 0:31:21 | 0:31:26 | |
for parts of Wales and western
England. We have lost the cold air, | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
the winds have changed direction,
bringing the milder air across the | 0:31:29 | 0:31:34 | |
country. And we've also got some
sunshine this afternoon, not for | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
everyone but where we have it, 11
Celsius, feeling quite plus and. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
More cloud the further west you are.
Showers fading and losing intensity | 0:31:40 | 0:31:46 | |
during the afternoon. A mild day for
all. A fairly quiet evening. Some | 0:31:46 | 0:31:53 | |
icy stretches across eastern parts
of Scotland and north-east England. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:59 | |
Our next spell of wet and windy
weather then arrives from the west | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
through tomorrow. But it will be a
much milder night. Certainly, a more | 0:32:02 | 0:32:08 | |
unsettled day tomorrow, with
outbreaks of rain spreading | 0:32:08 | 0:32:14 | |
eastwards, coupled with strong
winds. Quite a wet rush-hour for | 0:32:14 | 0:32:20 | |
many. This is how it looks at eight
click the morning. The rain will be | 0:32:20 | 0:32:27 | |
slowly clearing from Northern
Ireland, a little bit more to come | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
in the afternoon. Some patchy fog.
But also some strong winds. It looks | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
like the intensity of the rain will
be across the Midlands, East Anglia | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
and the south-east of England and
the M4 corridor and behind it, some | 0:32:35 | 0:32:40 | |
grey and murky conditions, but mild.
One way or another we're all going | 0:32:40 | 0:32:45 | |
to see some rain tomorrow. It will
not be raining all the time. There | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
could be some sunshine at times. But
more showers pushing eastwards | 0:32:48 | 0:32:54 | |
through the afternoon. Temperatures
compared to recently, so much | 0:32:54 | 0:33:00 | |
milder. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:06 | |
milder. But there is another system
coming in from the Atlantic and this | 0:33:06 | 0:33:09 | |
time you can see the squeeze in the
isobars, some very windy weather. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:15 | |
Severe gales on Tuesday night
coupled with heavy rain, which will | 0:33:15 | 0:33:20 | |
continue to sink south-eastwards
through Wednesday. Behind it, some | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
sunshine and showers, but and, which
is are starting to dip again. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:27 | |
Staying winds, particularly on
Thursday. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:33 |
