:02:06. > :02:11.Good Evening. Welcome to the BBC's news at Six. There was a fall in

:02:11. > :02:16.the rate of growth in the UK economy, down to just 0.2% between

:02:16. > :02:19.April and June of this year. The Office for National Statistics said

:02:19. > :02:23.one-off events such as the extra Bank Holiday for the Royal Wedding,

:02:23. > :02:28.had dented growth. The Chancellor's said it's positive news that there

:02:28. > :02:32.is growth, but Labour have hit back, saying the recovery is being choked

:02:32. > :02:35.off. Here is our Economics Editor, Stephanie Flanders.

:02:35. > :02:39.The letters stand for Gross Domestic Product, the sum total of

:02:39. > :02:43.everything that's made in the UK. It's been knocked about a bit

:02:43. > :02:49.lately, with delays on production lines from the Japanese earthquake,

:02:49. > :02:54.some hot weather and a certain marriage that took place in April.

:02:54. > :02:59.The result: Growth of just 0.2% in the second quarter, even less than

:03:00. > :03:07.before when the economy was recovering from the snow. Overall,

:03:07. > :03:11.our GDP's now grown by just 0.7% in the past 12 months. The ONS says

:03:11. > :03:14.growth would be half a percentage point higher without all the one-

:03:14. > :03:17.off factors, but the Chancellor would still be presiding over a

:03:17. > :03:21.deeply sub par recovery. You are confident in yourself that this is

:03:21. > :03:25.the best recovery we could be getting? Of course it is a

:03:25. > :03:30.difficult route out of a very deep recession, a very big banking

:03:30. > :03:34.crisis, the largest budget deficit of any major economy in the world,

:03:34. > :03:36.but any other route would lead to disaster because it would lead to

:03:36. > :03:40.instability, concerns over Britain's ability to pay its way in

:03:40. > :03:44.the world and that would lead to higher unemployment, less growth

:03:44. > :03:49.and that's not a path I'm prepared to see Britain travel down.

:03:49. > :03:53.To the Shadow Chancellor, it's Mr Osborne that's taking the gamble.

:03:53. > :03:56.This is a Chancellor in denial. I have to say, I thought his response

:03:57. > :04:00.today was staggeringly complacent. Families and businesses up and down

:04:00. > :04:03.the UK will say, we are having a really hard time, worried about the

:04:03. > :04:07.future and our Chancellor shrugs his shoulders and says, I'm going

:04:07. > :04:11.to carry on regardless. He's looking to me, deeply, deeply out

:04:11. > :04:14.of touch. So much for the talking heads in Westminster. I went to a

:04:14. > :04:19.different Downing Street in Birmingham to find out how the

:04:19. > :04:22.recovery is going there. This glass company has invested in

:04:22. > :04:27.new machines right through the downturn and managed to take on

:04:27. > :04:32.workers. But the official figures ring true to the managing director.

:04:32. > :04:35.The last two or so years have been a step change in reduced demand and

:04:35. > :04:38.the recovery has just come back from people getting a little closer

:04:38. > :04:41.to where they were before, so there's no underlying surge of

:04:41. > :04:47.demand that we can see. The British economy's had a lot of

:04:47. > :04:53.ups and downs since we started the industrial rev all those years ago.

:04:53. > :05:03.There had been plenty of slow recoveries, but this is proving to

:05:03. > :05:09.

:05:09. > :05:13.be the slowest in nearly a hundred Now, this is how long it could take

:05:13. > :05:16.us today to get back to where we were. That is if there is no more

:05:16. > :05:20.bad news. Some people say that's the

:05:20. > :05:24.inevitable price of the financial crisis, there's no way around it.

:05:24. > :05:27.But others say the Government should be doing more now to force

:05:27. > :05:30.the pace. The Chancellor's hemmed in by the

:05:30. > :05:33.fact that public spending has fallen quite rapidly. At the same

:05:33. > :05:36.time, interest rates are at rock bottom, there's nowhere else for

:05:36. > :05:41.them to go. So there's very little there for the Chancellor to throw

:05:41. > :05:45.at the economy to get it moving again. We are not alone. The US

:05:45. > :05:50.economy recently hit its own soft patch, but our recovery seems more

:05:50. > :05:54.susceptible to special factors than most.

:05:55. > :05:58.Let's go to Downing Street now and talk to our Deputy Political Editor,

:05:58. > :06:01.James Landale. As we saw in Stephanie's report, plenty of

:06:01. > :06:05.differences between Labour and the Government, was are there questions

:06:05. > :06:08.being asked now within the coalition? What's interesting is,

:06:08. > :06:11.on the fundamental policy of cutting the deficit, there is no

:06:11. > :06:14.evidence of any real division within the coalition. You've got,

:06:14. > :06:18.for example, the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, making it very clear

:06:18. > :06:23.today that he fully supports the pace and the depth of the spending

:06:23. > :06:26.cuts that the Government's embarked upon. On the question of growth,

:06:26. > :06:30.that's where there are diveriant voices beginning to emerge. You

:06:30. > :06:33.have the Liberal Democrats like Mr Cable saying, what you need is to

:06:33. > :06:36.inject more money into the economy with more quantitive easing. On the

:06:36. > :06:39.other side of the fence, you have the Conservatives, particularly the

:06:39. > :06:42.Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, saying you want tax cuts,

:06:42. > :06:45.reductions in things like national insurance to try and make it easier

:06:45. > :06:49.for companies to try to employ people or perhaps reducing the top

:06:49. > :06:53.rate of tax so Britain's more attractive to foreign companies to

:06:53. > :06:57.locate here. Now, George Osborne and David Cameron spent the day

:06:57. > :06:59.denying Flatley reports that they are at odds themselves over any

:07:00. > :07:04.future growth strategy, although it's interesting when you talk to

:07:04. > :07:09.them both about tax, Mr Osborne's willing to contemplate the idea of

:07:09. > :07:13.tax changes in the future, but Mr Cameron's much more reluctant to

:07:13. > :07:18.get into that. I think the bottom line though for today's figures is

:07:18. > :07:21.this - they don't actually change the fundamental political landscape.

:07:21. > :07:25.The recovery is clearly feeble, the Government is clearly under

:07:25. > :07:30.pressure to do more, but at the moment, that pressure is not

:07:30. > :07:34.overwhelming, at least not for now. All right, James, thank you.

:07:34. > :07:38.The Norwegian lawyer who's been asked to defend Anders Behring

:07:38. > :07:41.Breivik says self-confessed killer is probably insane. Breivik

:07:41. > :07:44.apparently believes he was fighting a war to defend the Western world.

:07:44. > :07:49.In the last hour, the Norwegian authorities have started to publish

:07:49. > :07:55.some of the names of Breivik's 76 victims. From Oslo, James Robbins

:07:55. > :07:59.reports on the aftermath of the attack and what's known about the

:07:59. > :08:02.man behind it. The official naming of Norway's

:08:02. > :08:08.dead is under way. A shocking reminder that most

:08:08. > :08:13.victims were children or very young adults. Among them is this 20-year-

:08:13. > :08:23.old model and talented dancer. The youngest killed in the massacre is

:08:23. > :08:27.believed to be just 14. Amongst those tipped as future stars was a

:08:27. > :08:31.21-year-old described by the Prime Minister as one of the country's

:08:31. > :08:34.most promising youth politicians. Among those missing after trying to

:08:34. > :08:41.swim away was a talented speaker who addressed a Labour Party

:08:41. > :08:45.Conference in April and 45-year-old Monica Bosei who ran the summer

:08:45. > :08:49.camp at Utoeya for years. This is their self-confessed killer, Anders

:08:49. > :08:54.Behring Breivik. Today the lawyer defending him described him as

:08:54. > :08:58.insane. This whole case has indicated he's

:08:58. > :09:04.insane. Have you asked him? He's in a war, he says the rest of the

:09:04. > :09:09.world, especially the Western world, don't understand his point of view

:09:09. > :09:13.that in 60' years time, we will all understand him.

:09:13. > :09:18.He called Breivik very cold and was asked if he showed any remorse?

:09:18. > :09:21.says that he is sorry that he had to do this, but it was necessary to

:09:21. > :09:24.start a revolution in the western world.

:09:24. > :09:28.An exchange of text messages between a 16-year-old girl and her

:09:28. > :09:38.mother at the height of the attack has been released by the family.

:09:38. > :09:51.

:09:51. > :09:58.The teenager believes Breivik is a The girl survived the massacre.

:09:58. > :10:03.This is part, just part of Norway's response to all that, the spreading

:10:03. > :10:06.sea of flowers outside Oslo Cathedral. Norwegians say they are

:10:06. > :10:11.determined to prove the killer utterly wrong in every way, wrong

:10:11. > :10:16.for what he did of course, but also wrong if he really believed the

:10:16. > :10:20.massacre would destroy Norway or start some sort of revolution.

:10:20. > :10:24.Some Norwegians are critical of the police and Government. The police

:10:24. > :10:30.for taking for too long to reach the island, the Government for

:10:30. > :10:34.failing to provide helicopters for a ra id -- rapid response. I don't

:10:34. > :10:40.think this could have gone faster, I can't see how that could be

:10:40. > :10:44.possible within this distance and under these conditions. So we will

:10:45. > :10:47.always try to be better but I can't see how we could have done this

:10:47. > :10:51.faster. For now though, Norway's focus is

:10:51. > :10:57.on the dead and those still missing. Each evening, the police will

:10:57. > :11:07.release more names as the terrible process of identifying all who've

:11:07. > :11:10.Norway's Justice Minister has praised the Security Services for

:11:10. > :11:13.their response to Breivik's twin attacks last Friday. But four days

:11:13. > :11:16.on, there are questions about whether the police were quick

:11:16. > :11:21.enough to get to the island where the killer went on the rampage. It

:11:21. > :11:24.was left to local people to help the traumatised teenagers. Our

:11:24. > :11:30.Europe editor, Gavin Hewitt, has been talking to some of the

:11:30. > :11:33.rescuers. Across from the island where so

:11:33. > :11:36.many died, there are people still waiting with young people still

:11:36. > :11:40.missing. What is emerging here is the story

:11:40. > :11:46.of those rescued and questions about the police' response. The

:11:46. > :11:49.heart of this rescue was a campsite and their small boats. This couple

:11:49. > :11:53.launched their boat to help people swimming from the island where a

:11:53. > :11:58.man dressed as a policeman was hunting their friends down.

:11:58. > :12:04.The first thing was that they don't trust us, they shout from the water

:12:04. > :12:08."can I trust you?" and we had to make some comfort to them to say

:12:08. > :12:13."yes, you can trust me". The gunman roamed the island for over an hour.

:12:13. > :12:18.Many of the young people were using their mobiles to call for help.

:12:18. > :12:22.Someone had to call the police and then some other girl said, "you

:12:22. > :12:26.don't need to, we have but they don't believe us". The injure wrd

:12:26. > :12:31.drif tonne a nearby town where the police were waiting for assault

:12:31. > :12:35.units to arrive from Oslo. The police roadblock terrified those

:12:35. > :12:38.rescued -- the injured were driven to a nearby town. There was a

:12:38. > :12:42.policewoman there with black suit and gun and all the seven people in

:12:42. > :12:46.my car were screaming in shock, they shouted at me "don't stop,

:12:46. > :12:51.drive, drive", because that's how the guy was dressed.

:12:51. > :12:54.When the police swat teams arrived, they used a local police boat, but

:12:54. > :12:58.it was too small for them, quickly took on water and broke down. So

:12:58. > :13:03.they had to turn to private boats like this in order to make it

:13:03. > :13:07.across to the island where the gunman was.

:13:07. > :13:11.This was the boat eventually used by the swat teams. They captured

:13:11. > :13:15.the gunman after just two minutes. It was a press helicopters that

:13:15. > :13:20.took this picture of Breivik on the island, but the police helicopters

:13:20. > :13:24.was way to the south and the police teams travelled by road. The local

:13:24. > :13:28.community is reluctant to criticise the police' response, but it is the

:13:28. > :13:34.people of a small campsite who were the rescuers of shivering and

:13:34. > :13:39.injured young people. I have seen things that nobody

:13:39. > :13:43.should have to see. The overriding problem was that the gunman had

:13:43. > :13:48.calculated that by setting off an explosion in Oslo, he would draw

:13:48. > :13:56.the police there while he had time to massacre young people at a

:13:56. > :14:00.summer camp. Here, the BBC's learned that many

:14:00. > :14:03.family doctors routinely prescribe anti-depressants, sleeping pills

:14:04. > :14:08.and and painkillers, even though they suspect the patients may have

:14:08. > :14:10.an addiction to the drugs. The shocking find ition from the Family

:14:10. > :14:17.Doctors Association also revealed that many GPs are aware of the

:14:17. > :14:22.issue but find it difficult to help -- findings from the family doctors

:14:23. > :14:29.association. Claire Marshall has the details. In America they call

:14:29. > :14:33.it farm Ged don, hundreds are dying from the use of prescription drugs.

:14:33. > :14:38.For Rachel, it began with prescription prozac and diazepam

:14:38. > :14:43.for anxiety and depression. No monitored the amount she was taking.

:14:43. > :14:47.She's remembering a friend who died abusing prescription drugs. I would

:14:47. > :14:52.take the whole dose in two days then ring up the doctor and say,

:14:52. > :14:57.I've lost my prescription and get it replaced and do the same again,

:14:57. > :15:02.do it in two days. When I run out, I would buy it.

:15:02. > :15:06.Such abuse is on the increase. So this is codeine, you can get it on

:15:06. > :15:11.prescription or buy it over-the- counter. What you might know know

:15:11. > :15:15.is it's in the same family as heroin, they both produce a

:15:15. > :15:20.physical addiction. Today's figures are startling. Of a survey of 200

:15:20. > :15:23.GPs in the UK, nearly 80% prescribe to people who may be addicted and

:15:23. > :15:33.more than half are worried about the buy bues and that more research

:15:33. > :15:36.

:15:36. > :15:45.At a time it hit the wrong thing, but he did try to do the best how

:15:45. > :15:49.our patients. We neat the research. How did you used to get hold of the

:15:49. > :15:54.prescription drugs? I would go to people and ask them for their

:15:54. > :16:00.painkillers and give them money. They could get a refill right away.

:16:00. > :16:04.Even before the prescribed time, they could get one. Darren is now a

:16:04. > :16:08.counsellor. He is seeing more and more people with the same addiction.

:16:08. > :16:13.People sit in their homes at night, swallowing tablets, knowing they

:16:13. > :16:18.have a problem, but the pride, fear and shame surrounding it means it

:16:18. > :16:21.does not come to the surface. is no centralised system for

:16:21. > :16:26.recording prescriptions and with proposed changes to GP practice

:16:26. > :16:32.boundaries in England and Wales, it could become even easier to shop

:16:32. > :16:36.around for prescription drugs. Good night, my angel, sleep tight.

:16:36. > :16:40.Those were the words of Amy Winehouse's father at her funeral

:16:40. > :16:47.today. Family and close friends attended the Service in North

:16:47. > :16:52.London. Mark Ronson and Kelly Osbourne were among the mourners.

:16:52. > :16:59.After the dramas of her life, it has ended with a quiet family

:16:59. > :17:08.funeral in North London. Her father Mitch Winehouse, her brother Alex,

:17:08. > :17:12.her mother, Janis. The ranks of photographers lining the walls of

:17:12. > :17:17.the crematorium reminded that this was the funeral of Amy Winehouse, a

:17:17. > :17:23.talented pop star, famous for her voice, songwriting but also her

:17:23. > :17:27.troubled life. Among the mourners, her manager, her friend Kelly

:17:27. > :17:32.Osbourne as well. Both had known her at her lowest. While the world

:17:32. > :17:36.knew the pop star, they were remembering her daughter, a friend.

:17:36. > :17:43.Her producer, Mark Ronson, said he had lost his soulmate, someone that

:17:43. > :17:48.was like a sister to him. As he and other mourners left the service, we

:17:48. > :17:51.were told how Mitch had talked about her headstrong youth and how

:17:51. > :17:55.she had conquered her drug addiction recently but not her

:17:55. > :18:03.drinking. The service ended with the words, good night, my angel,

:18:03. > :18:07.sleep tight. Mummy and daddy love you ever so much.

:18:07. > :18:11.Our top story tonight: The Chancellor George Osborne has

:18:11. > :18:15.defended his handling of the economy, after new figures show the

:18:15. > :18:20.economy growing at just 0.2% in the last quarter.

:18:20. > :18:26.And coming up, lucky to be alive. The woman who drove off a Cornish

:18:26. > :18:30.cliff as the brave jogger who found her car. I did not think there

:18:30. > :18:38.would be anybody inside, so I climbed down, expecting it to be

:18:38. > :18:42.empty, but there was an ad in the passenger seat. -- her lady in the

:18:42. > :18:46.passenger seat. The boss of the IMF warns America

:18:46. > :18:56.but the clock is ticking to deal with its debts.

:18:56. > :18:58.

:18:58. > :19:01.And why BP profits disappoint It was one of the worst nights of

:19:01. > :19:05.violence that Northern Ireland has seen in years. Two weeks ago,

:19:05. > :19:09.petrol bombs, bricks and bottles were thrown at police during a

:19:09. > :19:13.nationalist demonstration in the Ardoyne area, in protest at an

:19:13. > :19:19.Orange Order parade. Today police have released previously unseen

:19:19. > :19:23.footage of the riot. The runaway car that could have

:19:23. > :19:28.caused carnage in Belfast. The burning vehicle was being pushed

:19:28. > :19:31.towards police lines, but the rioters lost control. The car was

:19:32. > :19:36.on a hill and it could not be stopped. The plan had been to turn

:19:36. > :19:41.right at this corner. That is where the police were positioned. But the

:19:41. > :19:44.car kept going straight on, into a wall and into a garden. That did

:19:44. > :19:49.not stop the rioters. Even though the vehicle was full of petrol,

:19:49. > :19:55.they tried to push it back towards the police, oblivious to the

:19:55. > :20:00.dangers. There is no doubt whatsoever this vehicle could have

:20:00. > :20:05.exploded in the middle of what you can see is at least 100 people.

:20:05. > :20:10.Mostly young teenagers, bystanders, and there were children present.

:20:10. > :20:13.The potential was this vehicle could have exploded. It ran out of

:20:13. > :20:18.control in among the crowd and it could have exploded, resulting in

:20:18. > :20:23.numerous casualties. The riot took place two weeks ago, in one of the

:20:23. > :20:27.most heavily populated parts of North Belfast, the nationalist

:20:27. > :20:31.Ardoyne district. Violence broke out after an Orange Order parade

:20:31. > :20:35.near the area. Police decided to release the CCTV footage to show

:22:53. > :22:56.it is one meeting per month since the general election with

:22:56. > :23:02.executives from Rupert Murdoch's company. In that sense, it is quite

:23:02. > :23:07.a lot. George Osborne is met other people, too, in 38 meetings. This

:23:07. > :23:12.represents about 30% of his meetings with media organisations.

:23:12. > :23:15.Compare that to Ed Miliband, he is just above at 31%. They are in the

:23:15. > :23:21.same ballpark area, but George Osborne is in Government and people

:23:46. > :23:50.adjudicating that bid, met James Murdoch twice in January of this

:23:50. > :23:54.year. The Government are promising to publish the minutes of that

:23:54. > :23:58.meeting in due course. People will be poring over them, to see if

:23:58. > :24:04.there is any nod or a wink to what was being discussed at those

:24:04. > :24:07.meetings. The Cabinet minister with the highest amount of face time

:24:08. > :24:10.with Rupert Murdoch was Michael Gove, six separate meetings with

:24:11. > :24:14.Rupert Murdoch himself since the general election. This one is not

:24:14. > :24:18.going away yet and when the minutes come out, people will be looking to

:24:18. > :24:25.see if there is any hint whatsoever that there was improper discussion,

:24:25. > :24:28.something which the culture secretary himself denies. Thank you.

:24:28. > :24:32.An extraordinary tale of survival and bravery. A woman plunged over

:24:32. > :24:36.the side of a Cornish cliff in her car but was rescued after spending

:24:36. > :24:42.the entire night on the cliff side. The car was discovered by a jogger

:24:42. > :24:48.this morning perched on a slope at St Agnes headland. Let's go live to

:24:48. > :24:53.St Agnes now. George, you can see just how steep

:24:53. > :24:57.this cliff is. The car has now been removed. A beautiful evening

:24:57. > :25:03.tonight, but yesterday it was very misty, and it is thought that the

:25:03. > :25:10.car came over the edge, flipped over, bounced two or three times,

:25:10. > :25:14.before coming to rest just metres from the edge. After 18 hours,

:25:14. > :25:20.clinging to a cliff face, this was the moment the driver knew that it

:25:20. > :25:24.was going to be OK. But there was drama right until the end. The

:25:25. > :25:29.alarm was only raised this morning when a job that saw the car

:25:29. > :25:34.teetering on the edge. He scrambled down and was amazed to find

:25:34. > :25:38.somebody inside. She said that she was here yesterday afternoon at 4

:25:38. > :25:42.o'clock, when it was very misty, and she missed the road and started

:25:42. > :25:46.to tumble down the cliffs. She got thrown into the passenger seat when

:25:46. > :25:52.she was tumbling down. By the grace of God she stopped before the

:25:52. > :25:57.cliff-edge. It is only from the air that you get the sense of the

:25:57. > :26:01.horror of the situation. The car's precariously balanced position is

:26:01. > :26:05.stomach-churning. Just imagine being trapped, not just for hours,

:26:06. > :26:10.but in the dark and the cold overnight, never knowing if the car

:26:10. > :26:16.was about to topple over. And for the emergency services, this is not

:26:16. > :26:20.the kind of rescue that they are used to dealing with. This is very

:26:20. > :26:25.unusual. It is just one of those accidents when it happens and

:26:25. > :26:29.nobody knows how or why. We often have people stuck on cliffs that

:26:29. > :26:32.have attempted to climb up and realised that they cannot make it.

:26:32. > :26:37.That is our usual work on these cliffs, but to find a car is very

:26:37. > :26:42.unusual. The woman was airlifted to hospital in Truro where she

:26:42. > :26:48.underwent treatment for minor injuries. The car did not fare

:26:48. > :26:52.quite so well, however. The driver is believed to be a woman in her

:26:52. > :26:56.fifties. I have spoken to the hospital tonight and they say she

:26:56. > :26:59.is recovering well after receiving some treatment. If anything, she

:26:59. > :27:05.seems bewildered at the amount of attention that her escape is

:27:05. > :27:15.getting. A gorgeous evening in Cornwall, how

:27:28. > :27:35.Aberdeen, where it has been cool, and cloudy. Elsewhere, there is a

:27:35. > :27:39.lot of cloud. Clearer skies further West. Temperatures tonight will be

:27:39. > :27:43.similar to last night, possibly down to single figures in Scotland.

:27:43. > :27:50.A lot of cloud for central and eastern areas of England for most

:27:50. > :27:53.of the day. That finger of cloud and rain arrived from the West,

:27:53. > :27:57.into Scotland. For the rest of England it will be dry, brightening

:27:57. > :28:01.up to the East of the Pennines in the afternoon. The odd shower

:28:01. > :28:05.possible to the East of London. Through the Midlands, some

:28:05. > :28:11.brightness and sunshine at times. Sunnier spells into the South West

:28:11. > :28:15.of England, but some cloud arrives in the end of the afternoon. A warm

:28:15. > :28:19.day in Wales, with plenty of sunshine and light winds. In

:28:20. > :28:25.Northern Ireland, this is the change, the rain coming across from

:28:25. > :28:29.the West and reaching Belfast by 6 o'clock in the evening. Some rain

:28:29. > :28:34.coming into the western mainland of Scotland, but a warm day in

:28:34. > :28:42.Inverness and Aberdeen, 20 degrees in the sunshine. By the evening we

:28:42. > :28:46.have got some rain in Aberdeen. To the South East it will be bright

:28:46. > :28:50.and warm on Thursday. On Friday there is more cloud in southern

:28:50. > :28:53.England with even some showers, but further North it will be dry and

:28:53. > :28:58.bright. Temperatures by the end of the week, nearer average for this
