:02:19. > :02:23.than 2.5 million. The latest figures show that the young and
:02:23. > :02:26.women are the worst hit as they struggle to find jobs. The sharp
:02:26. > :02:28.rise in unemployment is just one of many challenges the coalition
:02:28. > :02:32.Government faces. Tonight, a furious row in the commons over the
:02:32. > :02:35.figures. And there's more trouble as the unions threaten a massive
:02:35. > :02:38.walkout over pension cuts, that's in a moment, but first our chief
:02:38. > :02:45.economic correspondent Hugh Pym on the biggest jump in the
:02:45. > :02:48.unemployment total for nearly two years.
:02:48. > :02:52.Unemployment, it's a growing problem for those caught up in the
:02:52. > :02:56.misery of joblessness and it tells us something about the fragile
:02:56. > :03:01.state of the economy. With more than 2.5 million now out of work.
:03:01. > :03:05.Not far short of a million of those are aged between 16 and 24. Youth
:03:05. > :03:10.unemployment has jumped again. These young people in Bristol told
:03:10. > :03:15.us of their struggle to find work. I have applied to about, and I am
:03:15. > :03:19.not joking, maybe about 100 shops and no one's even had the decency
:03:19. > :03:28.to reply. They could have the courtesy to actually say I haven't
:03:28. > :03:32.got the job. I have been looking for a job since I was 16, every
:03:32. > :03:36.weekend getting turned away. Female unemployment is now the highest in
:03:36. > :03:43.more than 20 years. This job club in Nottingham helps women with a
:03:43. > :03:48.search for jobs. Cheryl was a retail executive, but was made
:03:48. > :03:52.redundant and so far she hasn't found anything. At first as a
:03:52. > :03:57.manager I was looking for a position in a manager position, but
:03:57. > :04:02.now just because I don't want to be on benefits I am willing to do
:04:02. > :04:09.cleaning jobs or work in a bar or waitress, I am that determined not
:04:09. > :04:13.to go on benefits. The UK workforce story until now
:04:13. > :04:16.has been public sector job cuts with private sector job creation
:04:16. > :04:19.more than compensating for that leaving total employment increasing.
:04:19. > :04:25.And Ministers have been quick to point that out. But the latest
:04:25. > :04:29.figures over a three-month period paint a different picture. Between
:04:29. > :04:33.April and June private sector employment rose by 41,000 but that
:04:33. > :04:37.was outweighed by a plunge of 111,000 in the public sector total,
:04:37. > :04:41.over the same period. And looking ahead there are predictions of more
:04:41. > :04:46.bad news to come on the jobs front. The chances are that there will be
:04:46. > :04:50.a peak somewhere in the order of two and three quarter million, but
:04:50. > :04:53.if the economy performs even less well than expected the situation
:04:54. > :04:58.could turn out to be even worse than that. Unemployment in Scotland
:04:58. > :05:07.has fallen in recent months, but nobody there or elsewhere in the UK
:05:07. > :05:10.is assuming there's any rapid improvement on the horizon.
:05:10. > :05:12.Those unemployment figures were at the heart of bruising exchange at
:05:12. > :05:15.Prime Minister's Questions. The labour leader accused the
:05:15. > :05:17.Conservatives of not caring about those who ended up on the dole. Mr
:05:17. > :05:21.Cameron admitted the rise in unemployment was disappointing but
:05:21. > :05:26.he said the coalition was doing all it could to get people back to work.
:05:26. > :05:29.Here's our deputy political editor James Landale.
:05:29. > :05:32.The pressure behind this door is growing, pressure to do more to
:05:32. > :05:36.create jobs and help the economy grow at home, pressure to shield
:05:36. > :05:39.Britain from the growing financial turmoil abroad. So when the man
:05:39. > :05:45.next door headed for the Commons he knew he would be pressed for
:05:45. > :05:49.answers. For every two jobs being cut in the public sector, less than
:05:49. > :05:54.one is being created in the private sector. Isn't that the clearest
:05:54. > :05:58.sign yet that his policy isn't working? This Government is
:05:58. > :06:01.reducing the welfare bill and is cutting - and reforming public
:06:01. > :06:05.sector pensions, if we weren't taking those steps you would have
:06:05. > :06:08.to make deeper cuts in terms of the rest of the public sector, he would
:06:08. > :06:11.be having more unemployment in the public sector, that is the truth.
:06:11. > :06:15.In Scotland today unemployment actually fell which the First
:06:15. > :06:18.Minister said was down to more spending, not less, on big
:06:18. > :06:21.Government projects like new motorways. I am urging the
:06:21. > :06:25.Chancellor is to look at the Scottish experience and to see
:06:25. > :06:30.within that experience some of the ingredients of how to get through
:06:30. > :06:34.this recession, I am urging if you like, not just a plan B B.
:06:34. > :06:38.Cameron said you can't spend your way out of a debt crisis. Mr
:06:38. > :06:43.Miliband accused him of complacency. Youth unemployment is at its
:06:43. > :06:47.highest level for 19 years. Women's unemployment is at its highest
:06:47. > :06:53.level for 23 years. The highest level since the last time there was
:06:53. > :06:58.a Tory Government. It turns out he is just like all the others. For
:06:58. > :07:02.him, unemployment is a price worth paying. It is this Government
:07:02. > :07:06.that's cutting corporation tax, that's frozen council tax, that cut
:07:06. > :07:09.the petrol duty, that started the regional growth fund, that ended
:07:09. > :07:13.Labour's jobs tax, that has the biggest apprenticeship programme in
:07:13. > :07:17.decades, and that's increased capital spending compared with what
:07:17. > :07:22.Labour left. The truth is, Mr Speaker, it was the last Government
:07:23. > :07:26.that robbed young people of their future by piling up the debt.
:07:26. > :07:30.the Government says it's sticking to its plan A, it cannot afford to
:07:30. > :07:39.increase spending but it's under growing pressure to find growth
:07:39. > :07:42.from somewhere. And the guys in there haven't found it yet.
:07:42. > :07:45.The Government came under attack from another front today, trade
:07:45. > :07:47.union leaders have called for a day of action on November 30th to
:07:48. > :07:50.protest against changes to public sector pensions. The biggest unions
:07:50. > :07:53.in the country have decided to ballot their members over a
:07:53. > :07:55.campaign of walk-outs right through the winter. The Chancellor, George
:07:55. > :08:03.Osborne, said strikes would be deeply irresponsible and damage
:08:03. > :08:06.prospects for jobs. John Moylan reports.
:08:06. > :08:10.Individually they're some of the most powerful unions in Britain.
:08:10. > :08:16.But now their united in a dispute that could bring more than two
:08:16. > :08:21.million workers out on strike. give formal notice to 9,000
:08:21. > :08:27.employers that we are now balloting for industrial action. GMB's proud
:08:27. > :08:31.to support not just this, but the move straightaway to industrial
:08:31. > :08:36.action ballots. We are giving notice of our intention to ballot
:08:36. > :08:40.for industrial action. This level of co-ordination amongst the main
:08:40. > :08:44.trade unions is relatively rare and it does underline the strength of
:08:44. > :08:49.feeling there is over this pension issue. But having spent years
:08:49. > :08:52.trying to shed its 1970s one out, all out image, the trade union
:08:52. > :08:55.movement does look set to embark on some of the most sustained
:08:55. > :09:00.industrial action that Britain has seen in decades.
:09:00. > :09:04.The row is over plans to cut billions from the cost of pensions.
:09:04. > :09:08.Unions claim staff are being asked to pay more into the pot in
:09:08. > :09:13.contributions, and work considerably longer only to
:09:13. > :09:17.eventually end up with a smaller payout. It's a toxic combination
:09:17. > :09:22.which Lisa Turner says she can't afford. A teacher, she took part in
:09:22. > :09:25.a strike in June and she says she's prepared to walk out again. People
:09:25. > :09:30.don't go on strike because they feel like it over tiny things, this
:09:30. > :09:34.is a huge difference. This will make a difference to our family of
:09:34. > :09:37.getting about �200 worse off a month we will be. It's more bad
:09:37. > :09:42.news for the Government, and it led the Chancellor to criticise union
:09:42. > :09:45.leaders. I think the union bosses are behaving in a deeply
:09:45. > :09:48.irresponsible way. Deeply irresponsible, because talks are
:09:48. > :09:51.still going on, deeply irresponsible because at a time
:09:51. > :09:55.when the whole world, including Britain, faces a real economic
:09:55. > :09:59.challenge, this is only going to damage jobs and prosperity for the
:09:59. > :10:02.whole country. The strikes that are coming will be on a different scale
:10:02. > :10:05.to the action seen this summer. And it could leave the public facing
:10:05. > :10:13.some of the most widespread disruption to services that the UK
:10:13. > :10:17.has seen in years. Our political editor Nick Robinson
:10:17. > :10:19.joins us now from Edinburgh. Scotland's First Minister calling
:10:19. > :10:24.for an alternative economic approach, we have those
:10:24. > :10:29.unemployment figures, we have the strike calls over pensions. There's
:10:29. > :10:33.a lot of pressure mounting up on the Westminster Government. Huge
:10:33. > :10:37.pressure, yes. The global economy is in a much worse state than
:10:37. > :10:40.ministers expected a few weeks ago. The unemployment figures are much
:10:40. > :10:46.worse than they hoped. The projections for growth will be
:10:46. > :10:49.worse too and have to be revised soon. Now yet the Government in
:10:49. > :10:52.London always always expected a day like this to come. A day when they
:10:52. > :10:56.come under pressure, not just from the Labour opposition, not just
:10:56. > :10:59.from a massive protest planned by the trade unions, but from
:10:59. > :11:03.Scotland's First Minister as well, calling for an alternative economic
:11:03. > :11:06.approach saying that they could keep the confidence in the markets
:11:06. > :11:09.by building more roads, building more bridges, more capital
:11:09. > :11:14.expenditure, in other words, but without radically changing their
:11:14. > :11:18.spending plans overall. In Downing Street they call that plan B for
:11:18. > :11:22.bankruptcy, but actually privately behind the scenes they are
:11:22. > :11:26.desperately searching around for ways to get the economy moving
:11:26. > :11:34.without radically rewriting the spending plans.
:11:34. > :11:37.Thank you. The Chief Inspector of Prisons for England and Wales, Nick
:11:37. > :11:41.Hardwick, has warned that new gangs are forming in jails. He said this
:11:41. > :11:44.was because of the influx of people charged over last month's riots and
:11:44. > :11:49.that gang activity was growing as more young people were joining for
:11:50. > :11:52.their own protection. Two men who claim they were kept as
:11:52. > :11:55.virtual slaves on a travellers' site in Bedfordshire, have been
:11:55. > :11:58.speaking about their ordeal for the first time. The men spent months at
:11:58. > :12:01.the Greenacres site, but they had escaped before police raided it
:12:01. > :12:04.over the weekend. They claim others had been trapped there for years.
:12:04. > :12:13.Yesterday four men appeared in court charged with enslaving a
:12:13. > :12:17.number of people. Alongside the hustle and bustle of
:12:17. > :12:21.tourists and shoppers people living rough on the streets can an be
:12:21. > :12:26.invisible and according to one man who says he became a virtual slave
:12:26. > :12:32.here it was all too easy for an alcoholic like him to be picked up.
:12:32. > :12:37.He says he is still too frightened to be identified. If someone offers
:12:37. > :12:41.you �50 a day and as much booze you a you -- as you want, that's happy
:12:41. > :12:47.days. That's why it's just so easy for them to grab you and put you in
:12:47. > :12:51.the van. Once you are in there, they've got you. That was 2008
:12:51. > :12:53.before the current investigation. He claims once the Greenacres site
:12:54. > :12:59.there was no money and hardly anything to eat. He lived crammed
:12:59. > :13:03.into a horsebox and worked horrendous hours. As I was on the
:13:03. > :13:08.bottom bunk I usually got kicked in the face to wake up. You get up
:13:08. > :13:13.about 3.00am, hustle to get in the van, everyone gets in the van and
:13:13. > :13:18.we drove, or I would say -- for I would say an hour and a half to the
:13:18. > :13:24.site where we were working at. was the work like? Hard. It was all
:13:24. > :13:28.block paving. Breaking up driveways. He eventually managed to escape and
:13:28. > :13:32.went to the police but he says he was there for eight months. I think
:13:32. > :13:37.people stayed because of fear, because you saw what was going on
:13:37. > :13:42.in front of your eyes. You saw if someone tried to leave you are
:13:43. > :13:50.going to get beaten up. The police put him on a train back to his
:13:50. > :13:55.brother. He was shocked by what he saw. He had physically been beaten,
:13:55. > :14:02.clearly numerous times. I mean, his bones and his ribs were all visible
:14:02. > :14:06.from where he hadn't eaten properly and hadn't had a diet. His teeth
:14:07. > :14:11.were black because he had no nutrition. These are the sheds we
:14:11. > :14:18.were kept in... It's a deeply shocking story that Adam knows only
:14:18. > :14:22.too well. Four years before this he says he too was held at --
:14:22. > :14:31.greenacres. He was promised pay, instead he found skauler and what
:14:31. > :14:36.he views as slavery. I got moved out of a caravan into a shed that
:14:36. > :14:41.was sometimes - sometimes locked, sometimes not. It was literally,
:14:41. > :14:45.you were released for work in the morning. Both men have since turned
:14:45. > :14:55.their lives around, but say they are still haunted by their
:14:55. > :14:58.
:14:58. > :15:01.experiences at the site. Just over a year after Pakistan's
:15:01. > :15:03.devastating floods which affected a quarter of the population
:15:03. > :15:06.authorities in Sindh province are warning that floods this year are
:15:06. > :15:09.even worse. The southern region has been hit by the heaviest monsoon
:15:09. > :15:19.rains in a century. Over five million people have already been

:15:23. > :15:27.A full 20 ft below these waters used to the shops and homes.
:15:27. > :15:31.Villages as far as the eye can see and across southern Pakistan have
:15:31. > :15:38.totally disappeared. The authorities in this province say
:15:38. > :15:44.that these clubs are worse than the massive disaster last year. We find
:15:44. > :15:48.this family stranded on a piece of a high ground. Their home has gone
:15:48. > :15:56.and most of their livestock drowned but they managed to save a couple
:15:56. > :16:00.of chickens. Everyone was in the Village but suddenly the rains came
:16:00. > :16:05.says this woman. They fled during the night and left us. But they
:16:05. > :16:11.have been saved by the army which says it has rescued affecting 1000
:16:11. > :16:15.people by boat but fears that others are still cut off.
:16:15. > :16:22.catastrophe is a huge because people are still coping with the
:16:22. > :16:29.Flat last year. We were coping with that kind of damage and now the
:16:29. > :16:34.next flood has come. The damages to fault. It seems reminiscent of last
:16:34. > :16:39.year. People are rescued and brought to camps like this but then
:16:39. > :16:44.how they are treated after having lost all their belongings and their
:16:44. > :16:50.homes depends very much on its luck. In this camp they have run out of
:16:50. > :16:55.tents so many are having to sleep out in the open. This is where this

:17:53. > :18:02.Barroso, warned today that the debt crisis is the biggest challenge
:18:03. > :18:11.facing Europe in a generation. Our Europe Editor, Gavin Hewitt,
:18:11. > :18:15.has more. President Sarkozy of France and Angela Merkel of Germany
:18:15. > :18:20.moved today to try to fix the crisis of Greeks -- of grease and
:18:20. > :18:24.its debts. They are seeking guarantees that in exchange for aid,
:18:24. > :18:29.Greece would live by its commitments and cut its deficit.
:18:29. > :18:36.The fear that Greece is headed for bankruptcy has savaged the Markets
:18:36. > :18:40.and the banking sector. Two French banks Salk their ratings downgraded
:18:40. > :18:44.today because of their exposure to the Greek debt. And there were
:18:44. > :18:48.warnings at the European Parliament today that Europe could be
:18:48. > :18:54.destroyed by the euro-zone crisis. One minister declared that Europe
:18:54. > :18:58.was in danger, another said that the European Union itself could not
:18:58. > :19:02.survive a break-up of the euro-zone. We are confronted with the most
:19:02. > :19:07.serious challenge of a generation. It is a fight for what Europe
:19:07. > :19:12.represents in the world and for European integration itself.
:19:12. > :19:14.President boroscope said the answer to the Greek crisis was more
:19:14. > :19:19.integration but doubts were expressed that Greece could be
:19:19. > :19:24.saved. The European people to not believe in what you're saying and I
:19:24. > :19:30.do not think even viewed now believe it. We all know that Greece
:19:30. > :19:33.is going to default. There are increasing doubts over whether
:19:33. > :19:37.Greece can escape bankruptcy in the long term. A German minister said
:19:37. > :19:41.it would not be the end of the world if Greece was eventually
:19:41. > :19:48.forced out of the euro-zone. And the Dutch government has begun
:19:48. > :19:55.exploring the cost to its banks if Greece runs out of money. So full
:19:55. > :20:00.holds Greek debt? The Greek banks hold 49 billion euros in Greek debt.
:20:00. > :20:04.Germany holds a 10 million euros. France is next with an exposure of
:20:04. > :20:09.9 billion but the risk to British banks is much smaller at 2.2
:20:09. > :20:13.billion euros. If Germany does not bailed Greece out then we need a
:20:13. > :20:17.back-up plan for when it goes horribly wrong. I do not get a
:20:17. > :20:22.sense at all that we have any back- up plan so if the default happens

:20:42. > :20:47.shot himself. Raoul Moat blinded a policeman while On The Run last
:20:47. > :20:52.year and killed his former girlfriend. The coroner has heard
:20:52. > :20:57.from police far arms officers who said no one at the scene had used
:20:57. > :21:02.the new type of a taser shot guns before. Was there any explanation
:21:02. > :21:07.as to why these police officers had not use these weapons before and
:21:07. > :21:13.yet use them on Raoul Moat? We had always known that tasered fans had
:21:13. > :21:17.been used but the question was, until fired first? Today we heard
:21:17. > :21:21.from West Yorkshire police officers who were deployed that night. But
:21:21. > :21:25.they had never seen those weapons before and had certainly not used
:21:25. > :21:30.them before. Their team leader that might said that he had raised the
:21:30. > :21:35.issue that he and the other officers were not trained but the
:21:35. > :21:40.reply from their inspector was, you are trained. The aim was to try to
:21:40. > :21:44.take Raoul Moat a life. After the officers were deployed they said
:21:44. > :21:52.negotiations took a turn for the worse. Raoul Moat was saying things
:21:52. > :21:56.like, it is going to end tonight in this field. They -- he then raised
:21:56. > :22:01.the gun to the sight of his head and one of the Serb then decided to
:22:01. > :22:05.fire at the taser gun. Another officer said that Raoul Moat bent
:22:05. > :22:10.let out a yell as if he had been hit by someone. A second shot was
:22:10. > :22:15.fired which missed Raoul Moat completely and then he shot himself
:22:15. > :22:20.in the head. They were asked why they had taken that action and one
:22:20. > :22:24.officer said, it was either do something or do nothing and watch
:22:24. > :22:26.him commit suicide. Who decides what gets built in your
:22:26. > :22:29.neighbourhood? The planning minister Greg Clark has told the
:22:29. > :22:31.BBC that the new guidelines will lead to more development. But he
:22:31. > :22:38.insists that local communities rather than property developers
:22:38. > :22:45.will be empowered by the new rules. Here's our local government
:22:45. > :22:49.correspondent, Mike Sergeant. sum it is a battle to save England
:22:49. > :22:54.from the forces of development. Two others, much needed reform of a
:22:54. > :23:00.broken system. The government plan led to hulls of process from
:23:01. > :23:06.countryside groups. Why the fuss? It is a simplification of an often
:23:06. > :23:10.impenetrable system. At the moment local authorities have over 1000
:23:10. > :23:14.pages of planning guidance which is now to be replaced by 152 page
:23:14. > :23:18.booklet. The minister who wrote it says he will not water down the
:23:18. > :23:23.document but the final version may put more emphasis on the
:23:23. > :23:28.environment when it comes out next month. There are concerns that some
:23:28. > :23:34.of the environmental aspects may not be as strongly expressed as was
:23:34. > :23:38.our intention. But we are clear that our intention is to insure
:23:38. > :23:42.those safeguards will continue for the environment and we will do
:23:42. > :23:46.whatever is necessary to make that clear. The argument from the
:23:46. > :23:49.government has not changed much. Ministers think the current system
:23:49. > :23:54.strangles the economy at a time when thousands of new homes are
:23:54. > :24:00.needed. Local people have been encouraged to get involved with
:24:00. > :24:06.planning and help shape development. The framework puts the onus on the
:24:06. > :24:10.community to gather evidence about local housing needs. Those arguing
:24:10. > :24:15.against the proposals are not conceding much either. They want
:24:15. > :24:19.building on brownfield sites previously used for something else.
:24:19. > :24:26.Campaigners fear the new system will make it easier and cheaper to
:24:26. > :24:29.bulldoze green fields. That line of hills across there is the place we
:24:29. > :24:35.are keen to protect. Some are worried that local forces could be
:24:35. > :24:40.drowned out by influential property developers. Everything will relate
:24:40. > :24:45.to what the developer can offer and the local community and their long-
:24:45. > :24:48.term needs will not be properly considered. The government says the
:24:48. > :24:53.new framework will protect the country and result in more
:24:53. > :25:03.development. The question is, where? And other local people feel
:25:03. > :25:04.
:25:04. > :25:06.that they have a say. -- whether local people.
