There is no prospect of Britain

Hello, good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at One. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Downing Street has ruled out
the prospect of the UK staying | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
in any kind of European customs
union after Brexit, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
after days of disunity
within the Conservative party. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
after days of disunity
within the Conservative Party. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
In a customs union, the UK
would have tariff-free | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
trade within the EU,
but would lose the ability | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
to strike deals with other
countries around the world. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:24 | |
The EU's chief negotiatior
Michel Barnier has just | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
arrived in Downing Street
this afternoon for talks | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
with the Brexit
Secretary David Davis. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
Our political correspondent
Leila Nathoo reports. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:41 | |
On his way to London, the EU's chief
Brexit negotiator, chief for -- keen | 0:02:41 | 0:02:47 | |
for talks to resume, and to speed
up. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:53 | |
My feeling, not a minute to lose,
because we have to achieve this, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:58 | |
and, once again, not a minute to
lose. There's so much work to do, so | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
we have decided for this reason to
all the contact. Theresa May has | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
been under pressure to Seymour about
the kind of Brexit she wants. As she | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
returned to Downing Street this
morning Number Ten insisted Britain | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
was clear that they would be leaving
the customs union. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
So what does that mean? At the
moment Britain can trade freely with | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
the EU, as EU member states Taunton
impose tariffs on each other's | 0:03:24 | 0:03:30 | |
goods. All states also impose the
same taxes on goods coming in from | 0:03:30 | 0:03:36 | |
outside the block, the individual
states cannot do their own deals | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
with other countries and that is
what Theresa May wants to change, by | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
ruling out staying in any sort of
customs union with EU after Brexit. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
What I would say about the customs
union is that if we were members of | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
it it would inhibit our ability to
strike deals with other countries, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
and that is one of the benefits of
Brexit, that we can have more | 0:03:55 | 0:04:02 | |
flexible -- Flex ability and we can
extend those trade deals across the | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
world. But the Prime Minister's
critics warn that a break with the | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
EU will be damaging for the economy,
disrupting trade with a crucial | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
partner, and raising questions about
trade across the Irish border. There | 0:04:13 | 0:04:19 | |
are a lot of answers we need to know
to be able to react. It is like | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
anything else but it is major. As
business grows we have issues we | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
have to deal with but this is
outside of our control currently. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
Once it is divine. But the impact
will be very severe on us. Some | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
closing for closer ties in the
future set around the Cabinet table | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
-- once it is decided, but the
impact will be very severe. For 19 | 0:04:40 | 0:04:47 | |
months we have heard a lot of "We're
not going to do this and we're not | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
going to do that." What are we going
to do? That is what we are waiting | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
to hear, and it is what the 27
countries the UK is negotiating with | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
a waiting to hear, and in the
meantime the uncertainty is really | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
bad for business. This is a crucial
week for Brexit negotiations, not | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
just between the UK and Brussels but
also within the Cabinet. Senior | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
ministers are trying to settle on
what they want. I categorically | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
waving goodbye to a customs union
after Brexit Theresa May has tried | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
to appease the rest of Tory
Brexiteers, but there will need to | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
be compromised and agreement on
detail for any of the discussions to | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
move on. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Leila Nathoo, BBC News, Westminster. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Let's speak to our assistant
political editor Norman Smith. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Key is out in the cold in Downing
Street. Is this essentially what all | 0:05:31 | 0:05:37 | |
this is Norman? And appeasement of
Brexiteers? Fascinating, isn't it? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:46 | |
Well, Jane, Theresa May has been
under huge pressure from Brexiteers | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
breathing down her neck who fears
she may be moving towards a softer | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
type of Brexit but now she has
thrown them a great big juicy Brexit | 0:05:55 | 0:06:01 | |
bone, by saying we will not be
staying in the customs union, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
something she has said before, but
seeing that we will not be in any | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
kind of reworked or revamped customs
union by the back door. Is that the | 0:06:08 | 0:06:13 | |
end of matter? Maybe not, because
Tory Bremainers, when you look at | 0:06:13 | 0:06:21 | |
Government documents, statements by
Government ministers, they look at a | 0:06:21 | 0:06:27 | |
customs framework partnership and
they believe there is still scope | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
for some sort of fudge that could
keep us in an EU trading block. More | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
than that, they don't | 0:06:34 | 0:06:40 | |
than that, they don't believe Mrs
May as the numbers in the Comments | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
to force us through any kind of
customs union and later in the month | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
we may get a vote on this, and of
Jeremy Corbyn were to decide | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
withdrawing his lot with the | 0:06:49 | 0:06:55 | |
withdrawing his lot with the Tory
Remainers Mrs May to be in real | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
difficulty, so this battle could be
far from over. Norman, thanks for | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
now, Norman Smith there. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
As Michel Barnier and David Davis
hold talks in Downing Street, | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
Chris Morris from the BBC's
Reality Check team is here | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
to explain what stage we're
at in the Brexit negotiations. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
Chris? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:23 | |
Yes, it feels like there are two
broad sets of negotiations | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
going on at the moment -
one between the EU and the UK, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
and another within the British
Government, trying to reach | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
agreement on what it wants
the future relationship | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
with the EU to look like. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
And the EU has emphasised
on numerous occasions that until it | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
has a clearer idea of the UK
position, negotiations | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
on the future can't really begin. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:41 | |
So what's happening at the moment? | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
Well, to start with there
is still a lot of work to be done | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
on the outstanding issues from phase
one of the talks. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
We discussed them a lot last year. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
The future status of the Irish
border, a financial settlement | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
or divorce bill, and the future
rights of EU citizens here and UK | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
citizens elsewhere in Europe. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:57 | |
And when it comes
to the Irish border, | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
the issues of customs arrangements -
which we've heard so much | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
about today - looms large. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
How can you have an invisible
border there without some | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
kind of customs union? | 0:08:09 | 0:08:17 | |
The challenge is to resolve
all of these issues in the next few | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
months and turn them into a legal
text - a Withdrawal Agreement that | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
would have to be ratified and signed
before the UK leaves | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
the EU in March 2019. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
At the same time negotiations
are about to begin on a transition | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
period after Brexit for up
to two years. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
Those arrangements mean the UK
would have to follow all EU | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
rules and regulations,
without having any | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
say in making them. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
But they would give businesses
and governments more time | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
to plan for the future. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:42 | |
But what will the future
actually look like? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Negotiations on that
haven't even begun yet, | 0:08:44 | 0:08:45 | |
and the other 27 EU countries
are still considering their joint | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
position while they wait for more
clarity from London. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
Trade is the obvious issue -
will the UK remain closely aligned | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
with EU rules and regulations,
will it try to forge its own path, | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
or - as seems likely -
will it try to negotiate a mixture | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
of the two? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:07 | |
The EU is already warning against
'cherry-picking' the best bits. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
There are also a host of other
issues on which we cooperate | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
closely with the EU -
security and policing, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
for example, and foreign policy. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
New relationships need to be
negotiated there too. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
So 'plenty to do' is
putting it mildly - | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
no wonder that the EU negotiator
Michel Barnier said today | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
there isn't a minute to lose. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
But unravelling a relationship that
has developed over more than 40 | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
years was never going to be easy | 0:09:29 | 0:09:37 | |
Chris, thank you. Chris Morris. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
A white supremacist has been
convicted of a terrorist offence, | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
after planning to carry out
a machete attack on a gay | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
pride event in Cumbria. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
20-year-old Ethan Stables plotted
to target people attending an LGBT | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
event at a pub in Barrow. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
Prosecutors said he had
expressed homophobic, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
Nazi and racist views online. | 0:09:54 | 0:10:02 | |
You may find some of the evidence
upsetting. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Our home affairs correspondent
Dominic Casciani reports. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:09 | |
Ethan Stables, self-confessed neo
Nazi. He planned to carry out an | 0:10:09 | 0:10:17 | |
attack. He had been homeless in
Barrow, and eventually moved into a | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
small dilapidated flat in the town.
Behind his front door last June, he | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
spoke online about how he hated gay
people, and he began to amass | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
weapons. He recorded this shocking
video... It's just like gay people, | 0:10:29 | 0:10:37 | |
much nicer when they are on fire. He
told members of the Private neo Nazi | 0:10:37 | 0:10:43 | |
Facebook group there were Pride flag
is flying over a nearby pub and it | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
was time to turn hate into action.
In a series of increasingly | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
frightening posts, Stables revealed
his plan. "I Am going to war | 0:10:50 | 0:10:56 | |
tonight," he told them. I am going
to walk in with the machete and | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
slaughter every single one. Some
encouraged him, but one replied, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
that's not right. He posted this
reconnaissance poster and signed | 0:11:04 | 0:11:09 | |
off, I'm fighting for what I believe
in, my country, my folk, my race. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:16 | |
The barmaid was setting up for the
night when armed officers, tipped | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
off by a Facebook user, Rushton. "
-- they rushed in. It frightened me. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:28 | |
I felt like a deer in the
headlights, they said there had been | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
a terrorist threats made against the
pub and this person was going to | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
comment while the event was on and
basically harm people. -- come in | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 | |
while the event was on. I was so
angry afterwards to think someone | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
would actually do something like
that to a peaceful place. With the | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
armed police over there, the manhunt
in Barrow continue and shortly after | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
10pm he was arrested on this road,
between his flat and the target. The | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
prosecutor said this was his last
act of reconnaissance before he | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
would have gone home to get his
weapons. This is what police | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
recorded finding after they broke
into his flat, a swastika flag on | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
the wall, weapons including an act
is laid out and prepared, evidence | 0:12:08 | 0:12:13 | |
that Stables was trying to make his
own explosives. It would have been a | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
bloodbath, no getting away from
that. I just wish it was taken more | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
seriously... Lee Wicks runs the LGBT
support group who was the target and | 0:12:22 | 0:12:29 | |
said the far right once more
becoming emboldened as the | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
unchallenged on social media.
Personally I think Facebook should | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
have closed his account. I was quite
horrified to see his main picture | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
was him looking very Aryan in front
of a swastika banner flag, and the | 0:12:39 | 0:12:48 | |
literature was very extreme Nazi
propaganda. Facebook has not | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
commented on by he remained online,
despite at least four complaint | 0:12:51 | 0:12:59 | |
against him. During his defence he
claimed he never meant his words and | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
that he was in fact bisexual. His
conviction today for preparing an | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
act of terrorism means he could face
a life sentence. Dominic Casciani, | 0:13:06 | 0:13:12 | |

A man accused of hacking
into computers at the FBI and Nasa | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
has won a High Court
challenge against extradition | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
to the United States. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:22 | |
Lauri Love, who's 32,
could have faced 90 years | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
in prison if found guilty
in a trial in America. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
Angus Crawford reports. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:28 | |
Lauri Love is a wanted man. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
US authorities say he is a hacker
who stole vast amounts of data. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
For his supporters,
he is vulnerable, with | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
Asperger's syndrome. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
If sent to America,
he could face a lifetime in jail. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:46 | |
Today, the High Court had to decide
if he could be extradited. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
The judges ruled the risk
of severe depression | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
and suicide was too great. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
We're very happy and relieved. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:59 | |
We're very thankful
for the High Court for the judges, | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
for their wisdom and discernment. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
Thankful for all the support we've
had, without which I'm not sure | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
I would have made it this far. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:08 | |
For Lauri's father,
a hugely symbolic day. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
There is a consensus of agreement
about the things that really | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
matter, about decency,
about justice, about fairness. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
I've always believed to be born
in these islands is to win | 0:14:21 | 0:14:27 | |
the lottery of life,
and that what makes Britain great, | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
makes it Great Britain,
is not our power or our might | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
but the fact it's
a great place to live. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
But what is his son
actually accused of? | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
US authorities say he was part
of the hacking group Anonymous, | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
breaking into the systems of the US
Army, Nasa and the FBI | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
and stealing what he found,
boasting of his exploits. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:49 | |
He was traced via a Romanian e-mail
address and a PayPal account. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
He's been interviewed
here by National Crime | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
Agency, but not charged. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
Lauri Love's future,
though, is still uncertain. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:06 | |
Though he can't be sent
to the US for trial, | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
he may still be prosecuted here. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |

Senior figures in the African
National Congress will hold | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
an emergency meeting this afternoon,
to decide the future of the South | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
African President Jacob Zuma. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:22 | |
It's understood he's
refused to stand down, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
even after six top ANC officials
visited him at home in Pretoria | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
yesterday to ask him to resign. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
Jacob Zuma is facing
corruption allegations, | 0:15:32 | 0:15:33 | |
and many in the ANC want
Cyril Ramaphosa to take over. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:40 | |
The only surviving suspect
in the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
Salah Abdelsam, has gone on trial
in Brussels relating to a gun battle | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
with Belgian police. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
He told the court, "I am not
afraid of you, I am not | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
afraid of your allies. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
I put my trust in Allah." | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
Gavin Lee sent this report. | 0:15:54 | 0:16:02 | |
Under armed guard and tight
security, Salah Abdeslam, | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
once one of Europe's most wanted
men, being driven to court this | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
morning in Brussels. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:15 | |
He was alleged to be the sole | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
survivor of the Paris attacks
in 2015, when multiple locations | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
were targeted and 130
people were killed. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
Police traced Abdeslam's movement
in the hours after the attacks | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
to a service station
near the Belgian border, | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
but he went into hiding. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
Finally arrested in
Brussels four month later. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:36 | |
Salah Abdeslam has been in prison
for almost two years and allegations | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
about his involvement in the Paris
attacks are still to come to court. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
But here in Brussels,
where he's been driven from a French | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
prison to face a separate case
about allegations of attempted | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
murder, when police officers came
to a safe house attempting | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
to arrest him, here in Brussels. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:59 | |
SHE SPEAKS FRENCH | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
This footage shows a similar scenes
in court today, though filming of | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
Abdeslam and the second suspect,
also said to have been in hiding, | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
was promoted. Abdeslam spoke only to
say that he would remain silent | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
throughout the trial and that as a
Muslim he was being judged | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
mercilessly. He refused to stand
atop the second suspect who fled the | 0:17:24 | 0:17:29 | |
Brussels hideout also gave evidence.
He told the court that the weapons | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
used to fire and police have been
kept in a bedroom of the property | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
but he claimed he didn't know where
they were from. Investigators are | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |
still hoping they will be able to
glean some significant information | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
from this case, which adds to the
picture of what happened in Paris, | 0:17:43 | 0:17:48 | |
and discover as much information as
they can about the wider network | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
involved even if today, on the
surface, it looks unlikely. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |

The pressures facing the NHS have
been hitting the headlines | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
throughout the winter. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
With increasing demands
and an ageing population, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
many people are discussing
the future funding | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
of the health service. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
Now, a group of independent health
experts, commissioned | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
by the Liberal Democrats,
has recommended creating a new tax, | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
to replace national insurance. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
The money would be ringfenced for
the NHS and social care in England. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
Our health editor Hugh
Pym has the details. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
CHANTING: Save our NHS! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Thousands of demonstrators marched
through London at the weekend | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
calling for increased funding
for the NHS. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
Health unions joined other
campaigners, arguing | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
there was a winter crisis
which needed urgent | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
action and investment. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
Today a report from health experts,
including the former | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
head of NHS England,
has called for new proposals | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
to NHS funding problems. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:35 | |
The report, commissioned by the
Liberal Democrats, calls for an | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
extra £4 billion on top of inflation
for the NHS in England in the next | 0:19:39 | 0:19:44 | |
financial year, more than double the
increase announced in the budget. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
A single, ring-fenced tax
for health and social care | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
replacing National Insurance. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:51 | |
And reinstating a commitment
to cap the costs paid | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
by individuals for social care. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
It is important that we understand
the NHS is not a wasteful service. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
It is a service that is creating a
very healthy population and | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
continues to do so. But if we want
that, we have to fund it. If we | 0:20:06 | 0:20:11 | |
don't want it, that's a decision we
should be making as a population and | 0:20:11 | 0:20:16 | |
this new form of taxation, ring
fenced, would make that a lot | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
easier. At a ring fenced attacks
dedicated to health and social care | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
may not be as straightforward as it
seems. Some health economists say | 0:20:23 | 0:20:31 | |
could raise more questions than
answers. What happens when the | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
doesn't rise and produce enough
money that you want a span of the | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
NHS? That begs the question, what is
enough and who decides on a? It | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
seems to me you can't escape some of
the difficult political decisions | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
about how much we would like to
spend on health and social care. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:49 | |
Getting the over 65 to want to carry
on working to pay national insurance | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
is one proposal in the report to
cover higher NHS spending. The | 0:20:53 | 0:20:59 | |
Liberal Democrat leader, visiting a
hospital today, says whatever form | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
it takes higher taxation will be
needed. Taxes are never popular but | 0:21:02 | 0:21:07 | |
I think we do have to be honest with
the public. If you want a | 0:21:07 | 0:21:12 | |
first-class NHS, and I think we do
as a country, we've got to pay for | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
it and we've got to pay for it in a
way that is related to people's | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
ability to pay. In response, the
department for health and social | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
care said the NHS had been
prioritised in the budget and an | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
extra £2 billion had already been
provided for health and social care | 0:21:28 | 0:21:33 | |
in England. There are, though,
growing calls for long-term thinking | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
on funding as the NHS celebrates its
70th birthday this year. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:42 | |
Another 452 jobs are being lost
as a result of the collapse | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
of the construction
and services firm Carillion. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:46 | |
It comes on top of the 377 job
losses announced last week. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
At the time it went
into liquidation last month, | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
Carillion employed 20,000
people in the UK. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:59 | |
Lloyds Banking Group has
banned its customers | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
from using its credit cards to buy
virtual currencies, such as Bitcoin. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
The group says it's protecting
people from running up debts | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
they may never be able to repay. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
Our personal finance correspondent
Simon Gompertz is here. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:15 | |
Probably worth explaining a little
bit more again about Bitcoin. We | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
keep hearing about it. What is it,
how does it work? It is one of | 0:22:19 | 0:22:24 | |
several what they call crypto
currencies and they are basically | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
invented currencies that operate on
the internet. You can't hold them | 0:22:28 | 0:22:35 | |
because they're not real, they are
virtual, as you say. You can't keep | 0:22:35 | 0:22:40 | |
them in a bank account. They are not
regulated and controlled by the Bank | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
of England, so what's the
attraction? Well, they're quite | 0:22:44 | 0:22:49 | |
secret so people don't really know
who has the money, how it is | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
behaved, so criminals have been
using them, and also, for many, it | 0:22:53 | 0:22:58 | |
has been a gamble. They have seen
the values go up and up and then | 0:22:58 | 0:23:03 | |
down and they have been attracted to
get into them. This is the wild West | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
of finance at the moment, online
money. Let's look at what has | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
happened to the values. A year ago,
one Bitcoin was worth £700, in | 0:23:11 | 0:23:16 | |
theory. You can pay for some things
with them on the internet. That went | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
up in December to nearly £14,000, so
a huge increase, hundreds of | 0:23:20 | 0:23:25 | |
thousands of people trying to get in
on it on this country, now it has | 0:23:25 | 0:23:30 | |
gone down below £6,000. In fact it
is dropping today. So you can see, | 0:23:30 | 0:23:35 | |
what Lloyds is worried about. They
say they are protecting customers | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
from making losses but it is worried
about itself, that it will lend out | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
credit to people and it won't be
able to get the money back from | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
people if they have lost it on
Bitcoin. This is what Lloyds are | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
saying but how does it actually stop
someone from using their credit card | 0:23:48 | 0:23:52 | |
to do this? Some people in banking
so they are a bit perplexed about | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
this because you just buy something
from a merchant who has one of those | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
consoles, you put your card in. But
in fact each merchant has a code and | 0:23:59 | 0:24:03 | |
Lloyds can block those codes, so it
can do it. Questions being asked on | 0:24:03 | 0:24:08 | |
the internet today about whether it
is right to stop people spending | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
their own money and the answer to
that is, if it is on a credit card | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
it is not their own money, it is
credit, and Lloyds is not stopping | 0:24:15 | 0:24:20 | |
people from using their debit cards
to take money straight out of their | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
bank accounts to buy Bitcoin. Thank
you very much, Simon Gompertz. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
A who admitted using the dark web
to export and sell the high-strength | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
painkiller Fentanyl has been
sentenced to eight years in prison. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Kyle Enos, who's 25,
was selling the drug, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
which is significantly stronger
than heroin, around the world. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
Our correspondent Tomos Morgan
is at Cardiff Crown Court. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:46 | |
Fentanyl is a drug that is at least
25 times stronger than heroin and | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
has been linked to over 60 deaths in
the UK just last year. The National | 0:24:56 | 0:25:02 | |
Crime Agency investigated and
identified Kyle Enos as a | 0:25:02 | 0:25:07 | |
significant fentanyl dealer and
found that he had been trading the | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
drug, buying and selling, over the
dark web under a pseudonym, 2/150 | 0:25:10 | 0:25:19 | |
customers, in the UK and in North
America. Police raided his residence | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
last year and found he had several
bags of varying strengths of the | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
evidence that he had been changing
the strength of the drug and | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
tailoring it for the different
customers that were ordering it from | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
him. He said he would use the money
he had made from his illegal | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
business to pay for a university
degree but he had also paid for a | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
luxury apartment here in the centre
of Cardiff. The judge sentenced Kyle | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
Enos to eight years.
Thank you very much, Thomas Morgan | 0:25:46 | 0:25:52 | |

Our sports correspondent
Azi Farni reports. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
COMMENTATOR: Kelly Holmes
for Great Britain. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
What a performance! | 0:26:26 | 0:26:27 | |
You are the double Olympic
champion, Kelly Holmes. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
To be Olympic champion,
aged 34, I had achieved it. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
Suddenly, I had no idea who I was,
what I wanted to be. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
The biggest thing that
I felt was a loss | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
of identity and kind of purpose. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:45 | |
As an athlete, Dame Kelly Holmes
had it all - success, | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
structure, support. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:51 | |
For many like her, their sporting
lives are mapped out. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
But come retirement,
all that disappears. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:54 | |
I had always been announced
as an Olympian, or an Olympic | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
athlete, or an international
athlete, and suddenly, | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
I'm having to reel off
lots of places that I'd go, | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
or roles that I'd have to play,
and it made me feel | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
like a little bit sort of lost. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
Among her many post-athletics
ventures, Dame Kelly | 0:27:07 | 0:27:12 | |
has opened this cafe
in her hometown of Hildenborough. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
Its name comes after her running
number when she won double Olympic | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
gold, but what about the transition
to life after sport, | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
when you don't have gold
medals to look back on? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
Former England rugby union captain
Catherine Spencer played | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
in two World Cup finals. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
She lost both, retired and then
watched as her team-mates | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
lifted the trophy in 2014. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
You know, I probably, every day,
at some point during the day, | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
I'll think about it. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:38 | |
I'll think about not
winning the World Cup. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
I was absolutely devastated. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:42 | |
I was completely gutted that this
hadn't happened four years earlier. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:47 | |
It was so hard to watch,
and it's taken me six or seven years | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
to start to feel comfortable
about my retirement. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
I've been retired now 12 years,
and I can honestly say, | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
it's only in the past year
and a half that I've | 0:27:57 | 0:28:02 | |
kind of got in my head,
you know what, I know who I am | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
and what I want to be. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
In fact, more than half of the 800
former professional sports people | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
who replied to a survey
by the Professional Players' | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
Federation said they'd had concerns
about their mental or emotional | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
well-being since retiring. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:21 | |
Just over half reported financial
difficulties in the five years | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
after stopping playing,
with money being the biggest single | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
worry after retirement. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
But whose responsibility is it
to help them transition? | 0:28:28 | 0:28:32 | |
Should governing bodies
help at this time? | 0:28:32 | 0:28:38 | |
Yes, because we have seen so much
of what we're talking about now, | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
the detrimental effects of sport. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:42 | |
You don't want a negative in sport,
because sport actually should be | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
the best thing that anyone has
in their life. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
And with three global sporting
championships coming up | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
in the next three months,
the challenge across sport may not | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
just be winning more medals. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:53 | |

People in Moscow have been battling
record levels of snow, | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
which has blocked roads
and grounded flights. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:04 | |
Russia's meteorological service says
the capital has seen more | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
than half its average monthly
snowfall in just 24 hours. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:12 | |
Steve Rosenberg ventured out -
and sent us this report. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:17 | |
Well, it's no secret that in Russia,
in the winter, it snows. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:22 | |
But it doesn't normally
snow quite like this. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
For the last two days,
we've seen more than one month's | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
worth of snowfall in Moscow. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:31 | |
It's the biggest snowfall
here since records began, | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
and that's causing problems
for the authorities who are normally | 0:29:34 | 0:29:37 | |
pretty good at dealing with all this
white, fluffy stuff. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
Thousands of snowploughs have
come onto the streets | 0:29:40 | 0:29:42 | |
to try to clear the roads. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:44 | |
It's not just affecting
Moscow but cities across | 0:29:44 | 0:29:46 | |
central Russia, too. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:48 | |
And the Moscow authorities have
been sending out text | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
messages to people -
I got one this morning - | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
telling us to leave our cars at home
and to use public transport. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:58 | |
What happens to all of this
snow once it's fallen? | 0:29:58 | 0:30:01 | |
Well, once the snowploughs have
cleared it and piled it up, | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
it's taken to the edge of the city
to be disposed of in special | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
snow disposal centres. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:15 | |
Well, it's not quite
as bad as that here, | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
but if you've been out | 0:30:19 | 0:30:20 | |
and about today you won't be
surprised to learn that forecasters | 0:30:20 | 0:30:23 | |
saying this week could be one
of the coldest snaps of the winter | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
and the freezing conditions | 0:30:27 | 0:30:30 | |
are set to last. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
This footage was taken by police
as they attended incidents | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
on the icy M20 in Kent. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
Fortunately, no-one was seriously
injured, and the motorway | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
has now been cleared. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:39 | |
The Met Office has issued yellow
warnings of snow and ice | 0:30:39 | 0:30:41 | |
for large swathes of the UK. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:44 | |
Louise Lear knows plenty about all
of that. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
I'm sure those in Moscow are
laughing at us back home because we | 0:30:51 | 0:30:56 | |
had a centimetre or two across
Sussex and Kent through this morning | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
but, nevertheless, it did cause some
problems. Not for all, though. A | 0:30:59 | 0:31:04 | |
glorious morning across the Lake
District although I suspect for you, | 0:31:04 | 0:31:07 | |
you could wake up to some snow
tomorrow. There is more on its way | 0:31:07 | 0:31:11 | |
because it is bitterly cold right
across the country and we've got | 0:31:11 | 0:31:13 | |
this weather front moving in as we
speak. That will arise through the | 0:31:13 | 0:31:17 | |
night and I. Will start off as rain
along the coast and quickly turn to | 0:31:17 | 0:31:22 | |
smoke across north west England and
Northern Ireland. We're not too | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
concerned but it is worth bearing in
mind it elsewhere, a bitterly cold | 0:31:25 | 0:31:29 | |
start to the morning. A widespread
frost. Some snow to travel south and | 0:31:29 | 0:31:35 | |
east. During the early rush hour
tomorrow, it is likely to be sitting | 0:31:35 | 0:31:40 | |
across the north-east of England,
down into the Lake District and for | 0:31:40 | 0:31:44 | |
West Wales. Behind a scattering
office -- scattering of showers, | 0:31:44 | 0:31:52 | |
snow and hail. The showers will add
to the accumulations we have here, a | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
cold morning as well. The frontal
system, sitting through northern | 0:31:56 | 0:32:00 | |
England and into Wales. Rain across
the south-west coast and for central | 0:32:00 | 0:32:04 | |
and south eastern areas, it will
start off cold and frosty but you | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
might see a bit of sunshine if
you're lucky. As we go through the | 0:32:07 | 0:32:11 | |
day, the weather front will weaken
as it pushes further south into the | 0:32:11 | 0:32:15 | |
Midlands so by the afternoon, a band
of cloud through Lincolnshire, the | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
Midlands, a few snow showers and
sandwiched either side, sunny spells | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
with a scattering of showers to the
north-west. But the one thing that | 0:32:22 | 0:32:26 | |
unites the country, called for all
of us and it will feel better out | 0:32:26 | 0:32:31 | |
there. As we move through the
evening and the temperatures start | 0:32:31 | 0:32:35 | |
to fall away, darkness Falls and we
could see the front pepping up a | 0:32:35 | 0:32:38 | |
little bit across parts of
Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, East | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
Anglia, maybe to the east of London.
First thing on Wednesday morning, we | 0:32:41 | 0:32:45 | |
can't rule out the risk of some
lying snow, nothing too significant. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:49 | |
That clears away and Wednesday is
much more straightforward. Sunny | 0:32:49 | 0:32:53 | |
spells and windy weather pushing
into the north-west it up a bit less | 0:32:53 | 0:32:59 | |
cold so we are not so concerned
about snow, famous last words, but | 0:32:59 | 0:33:04 | |
quite a lot of cloud lingers on
Thursday. Friday, we should see some | 0:33:04 | 0:33:09 | |
sunny spells so if you haven't
already got the message, this week | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
we might have changed the month but
winter is still with us. It is going | 0:33:12 | 0:33:17 | |
to be cold, a widespread frost and
some of us at times could see some | 0:33:17 | 0:33:21 | |
snow but nothing like Moscow!
Thank you very much, Louise Lear. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:28 | |
