:02:07. > :02:11.aus news at 6pm. One of the most influential organisations has
:02:11. > :02:14.issued its starkest warnings about the prospects for the global
:02:14. > :02:18.economy. The International Monetary Fund said there is a risk of a
:02:18. > :02:23.double-dip recession and Britain is included in that gloomy forecast.
:02:23. > :02:31.The IMF said Governments must be ready to re-think their policies if
:02:31. > :02:36.growth remains as clugish as it fears. -- sluggish as it fears.
:02:36. > :02:40.The state of the world economy is under the magnifying glass again.
:02:40. > :02:45.This time a gloomy view from the leading think-tank, the IMF. It
:02:45. > :02:51.says the world is entering a dangerous new phase. It talks of a
:02:51. > :03:01.weak and bumpy recovery and says leading economies are facing
:03:01. > :03:04.
:03:04. > :03:10.anaemic growth. The global economy has entered a dangerous new phase.
:03:10. > :03:13.Strong policies are needed, both to improve the outlook and to reduce
:03:13. > :03:18.the risks. The Chancellor has admitted that UK growth forecasts
:03:18. > :03:21.will have to be reduced. Now the IMF has done just that, as it has
:03:21. > :03:28.with other economies. Earlier this year, the OBR, that's the
:03:28. > :03:35.Government's official forecaster, predicted 1.7% growth. In June the
:03:35. > :03:39.IMF said more like 1.5%. Now it says 1.1%. There's a message for
:03:39. > :03:43.the British Government - if growth weakens further, the deficit
:03:43. > :03:46.reduction plan should be delayed. We have the discipline and
:03:46. > :03:51.determination to putting right the huge deficits and debts that we
:03:51. > :03:56.were left by the last Government and we will go on with absolute
:03:56. > :04:01.determination doing that and no wavering in that whatsoever. These
:04:01. > :04:05.are very worrying figures for America and for Britain too.
:04:05. > :04:09.Politicians cannot sit on their hands for longer. We need to act
:04:09. > :04:17.for growth and jobs. It's the only way to secure the future and get
:04:17. > :04:21.our deficits down. The IMF warning the eurozone needs to get to grips
:04:21. > :04:25.with its crisis. Students took to the streets of
:04:25. > :04:28.Athens to protest about spending cuts.
:04:28. > :04:32.The IMF believes recession is a possibility in Europe as well as
:04:32. > :04:35.the US. Of course, any major downturn in
:04:35. > :04:40.the leading European economies would have a big impact on all of
:04:40. > :04:45.us here in the UK. That's because 40% or so of our
:04:45. > :04:48.goods and services, exports, go to the eurozone. Economies are so
:04:48. > :04:52.interlinked now that you cannot escape the consequences of someone
:04:52. > :04:57.else's slowdown. That is really what this latest IMF report means
:04:57. > :05:05.for the UK. All advanced economies are facing tough times and we can't
:05:05. > :05:10.avoid the consequences. We will speak to our political
:05:10. > :05:13.editor, Nick Robinson in a moment. First let's go to Stephanie
:05:13. > :05:16.Flanders, who is in Washington. We have been reporting about how tough
:05:16. > :05:21.things are for some time. How significant is this latest report
:05:21. > :05:24.from the IMF? Well, George, we have heard a lot of this. Of course this
:05:24. > :05:28.is just one report and one set of economic forecasts which will
:05:28. > :05:32.probably turn out to be wrong, the actual numbers. The significance is
:05:32. > :05:37.that you have all of the world's Finance Ministers gathering here in
:05:37. > :05:40.Washington at the end of the week. What the IMF is telling them, is
:05:40. > :05:44.the prospects for their recoveries have drasticly worsened in the last
:05:44. > :05:47.few months. This is something they are focused on in Europe and
:05:47. > :05:51.America. It is actually for all of the global recovery, it will be
:05:51. > :05:54.weaker than they expected. If policy makers don't get their act
:05:54. > :05:58.together, we could look at a prolonged slowdown or even a
:05:58. > :06:02.recession, particularly in the US and maybe in the UK. The IMF does
:06:02. > :06:06.not want us to panic. They think policy makers can make this path
:06:06. > :06:10.easier. They have to do lot of things they have not wanted to do.
:06:10. > :06:14.The European policy makers have to get their act together. In America,
:06:14. > :06:17.they have to resolve some of their differences in Washington, to get a
:06:17. > :06:23.proper deal on the US debt situation and prevent a recession
:06:23. > :06:26.there. The advice for the UK is more nuanced. They think that the
:06:26. > :06:33.UK is one step closer to the time when the Government will have to
:06:33. > :06:37.re-think its approach to the deficit. Thank you. Isn't this more
:06:37. > :06:44.pressure on the Government, some would say to think about growth
:06:44. > :06:48.more, or what some are calling have a Plan B? It is enormous pressure
:06:48. > :06:50.on them. Again and again you hear ministers here at the Liberal
:06:50. > :06:54.Democrats conference and Conservatives in Whitehall, around
:06:54. > :07:00.the world, say there is only one plan, plan A. We must stick to it,
:07:00. > :07:03.we are agreed. Yet, George, behind the scenes I can reveal there is a
:07:03. > :07:07.fascinating discussion beginning to take place in the Cabinet about
:07:07. > :07:13.whether there is something more they could do to stimulate growth.
:07:13. > :07:16.Not Plan B. It would be sticking to cuts in what's called current
:07:16. > :07:19.spending, every day spending on salaries, for example and benefits
:07:19. > :07:28.and the like. The debate which is beginning to shape up is around
:07:28. > :07:33.what is called "Capital spending." Spending on building thins, on road,
:07:33. > :07:37.on rail, on broadband infrastructure, to stimulate growth.
:07:37. > :07:44.We have heard plans to accelerate existing projects. We have heard
:07:44. > :07:47.plans to find money that is unspent in other budgets and allocate to
:07:47. > :07:50.councils to build, for example a road, to allow a new housing
:07:50. > :07:53.development to take place. Some Cabinet ministers are telling me
:07:53. > :07:58.here and elsewhere they believe the Chancellor could go further, that
:07:58. > :08:02.it would be possible, in other words, to change his existing
:08:03. > :08:09.spending plans on capital projects to spend a few billion pounds more,
:08:09. > :08:13.to stimulate growth, without they claim abandoning plan A, without
:08:13. > :08:16.spooking the financial markets. It's the beginning of an important
:08:16. > :08:20.debate about what Government does in the face of these serious
:08:20. > :08:25.economic warnings. Thank you both.
:08:25. > :08:27.She was held by police for six weeks, accused of tampering with
:08:27. > :08:31.drugs at a Greater Manchester hospital, where several patients
:08:31. > :08:35.had died. Today the nurse, Rebecca Leighton, has been speaking for the
:08:35. > :08:39.first time about the ordeal. Despite being released and the
:08:39. > :08:47.charges dropped, she says she is still pestered by the press and is
:08:47. > :08:51.too frightened to go out on her own. She was accused of killing her
:08:51. > :08:54.patients. She spent six weeks in jail. Now, for the first time
:08:54. > :09:00.Rebecca Leighton has spoken about what she has been through and the
:09:00. > :09:06.moment she was arrested. I woke up to police banging on the door. I
:09:06. > :09:11.just thought that the police wanted to ask further questions or
:09:11. > :09:15.interviews or what not. I thought I'd be home for tea-time. Surely
:09:15. > :09:20.they know I've not done anything wrong. Rebecca Leighton was
:09:21. > :09:25.arrested after the deaths of three patients. All three received
:09:25. > :09:30.contaminated saline. On 22nd July she was charged with criminal
:09:30. > :09:34.damage with intent to danger life. On September 2nd, all charges were
:09:34. > :09:39.dropped. 12 days later, she was told she could return to nursing,
:09:39. > :09:43.but remains suspended from Stepping Hill, while they investigate claims
:09:43. > :09:48.she stole medicine. I pleaded with the police every day, all the time,
:09:48. > :09:52.just please don't stop looking. Don't stop with me, because if you
:09:52. > :09:57.do, then surely the person that has done these horrific things is still
:09:57. > :10:03.going to be out there. It worried me. Security remains tight at
:10:03. > :10:06.Stepping Hill. Here, every car is checked in and
:10:06. > :10:10.out because the person who contaminated this saline could
:10:10. > :10:13.still be inside the hospital. 60 detectives need to speak to
:10:13. > :10:18.hundreds of witnesses. This includes patients, visitors and
:10:18. > :10:24.staff. It's also an investigation that has
:10:24. > :10:28.changed Rebecca Leighton's life. I'm living at my parents. I'm not
:10:28. > :10:32.where I used to live. I am not working. I cannot go out without
:10:32. > :10:35.people taking pictures of me. I cannot walk down the street on my
:10:35. > :10:40.own because I'm kind of a bit scared really. One day Rebecca
:10:40. > :10:47.Leighton hopes to return to work as a nurse, while the families of
:10:47. > :10:51.those who died at Stepping Hill are still waiting for answers.
:10:51. > :10:57.The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said he's apulled at the
:10:57. > :11:01.killing of a former -- appalled at the killing of a former President
:11:01. > :11:06.of Afghanistan. Burhanuddin Rabbani was killed in a bomb blast at his
:11:06. > :11:13.home in Kabul. He was meeting with two Taliban members at the time of
:11:13. > :11:20.the attack. A music teacher has been found guilty of murdering his
:11:20. > :11:24.fiancee. He battered her and strangled her before he stored her
:11:24. > :11:33.body in a suitcase. Our correspondent joins us now from
:11:33. > :11:38.Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. Andrew Lindo lived in this
:11:38. > :11:46.development here. When he was found guilty someone in the gallery
:11:46. > :11:49.shouted, "Yes." He described his Christmas as the best ever. He was
:11:49. > :11:53.the charming music teacher, described as a lady's man. She was
:11:53. > :11:57.the woman who fell for him while married to someone else, so gave up
:11:57. > :12:02.everything to be with the man, who it was said swept her off her feet.
:12:02. > :12:07.But last December, here at their home in West Yorkshire, Andrew
:12:07. > :12:10.Lindo lost his temper and brutally murdered Marie Stewart in a
:12:10. > :12:14.prolonged and vicious attack, after which he concealed her body in a
:12:14. > :12:22.bag. As soon as Lindo had hidden the
:12:22. > :12:25.body of his fiancee in their garage he drove in his car 15 miles to
:12:25. > :12:30.Barnsley to collect his lover, who he brought back here. He told
:12:30. > :12:34.anyone who would listen that his fiancee had gone missing with
:12:34. > :12:39.another man. Despite her family's suspicions that lie held for two
:12:39. > :12:44.months. During that time Lindo, who sang in
:12:44. > :12:49.local bands, posted fake Facebook messages from the fiancee he
:12:49. > :12:54.murdered, coning the world that she had left him and their two young
:12:54. > :13:01.children. Neighbours always doubted his story. It really didn't make
:13:01. > :13:09.any sense because she loved her kids so much. She was a huge part
:13:09. > :13:12.of their lives. It didn't add up. It didn't. Lindo convinced his new
:13:12. > :13:22.girl friend that he was planning a new life with her. She told the
:13:22. > :13:25.
:13:25. > :13:30.But in February this year, police discovered Marie Stewart's body in
:13:30. > :13:34.the garage and Lindo's lies unravelled.
:13:34. > :13:39.He conned so many people. He told women he was trying to impress he
:13:39. > :13:45.was a single father. He made his home look like a bachelor pad. He
:13:45. > :13:50.could not con a jury today. They took less than an hour to find him
:13:50. > :13:54.guilty and he'll be sentenced tomorrow. Customers facing a
:13:54. > :13:58.confusing array of energy charges are to be given a helping hand.
:13:58. > :14:02.Chris Huhne has promised to make it easier for consumers to spot the
:14:02. > :14:05.best deals and sign on for them. Speaking at the Liberal Democrats
:14:05. > :14:12.conference in Birmingham, he said he was determined to get tough with
:14:12. > :14:16.the big suppliers. Winter is fast approaching. The two
:14:17. > :14:21.rounds of energy price rises means that warming our homes will cost
:14:21. > :14:26.around �160 more than just 12 months ago.
:14:26. > :14:30.That's bad news for this couple who live in Essex. June is disabled.
:14:30. > :14:37.They need to keep the heating on. They find the range of offers and
:14:37. > :14:41.deals simply too confusing. We're high energy users, both on gas and
:14:41. > :14:48.electricity. We have an incentive to look around. It's really
:14:48. > :14:51.difficult. It is difficult within the supplier's tariffs, let alone
:14:51. > :14:56.between tariffs. Any simplification has to be an advantage. Does the
:14:56. > :15:01.Government have any plans to make life easier? The good news is that
:15:01. > :15:06.more simple tariffs are coming. Companies will have to say on deals
:15:06. > :15:10.where you might find a cheaper deal. There are plans for customers to
:15:10. > :15:14.benefit financially when firms are fined for wrong doing. The Energy
:15:14. > :15:23.Secretary is warning the industry over predatory pricing, which he
:15:23. > :15:27.fears may be keeping new comers out It is not fair that big energy
:15:27. > :15:32.companies can push prices up for those who do not switch while
:15:32. > :15:36.offering cut-throat prices for new customers which stop small firms
:15:36. > :15:40.entering the market to provide real competition. Privatisation was
:15:40. > :15:42.meant to deliver savings for consumers, but the big six
:15:42. > :15:47.companies have faced criticism as spiralling commodity prices have
:15:47. > :15:50.sent a -- bills higher. Will the plans make a difference? He is
:15:51. > :15:54.about time that someone took steps to make sure that this market,
:15:54. > :15:58.which is categorised by bad selling, complex tariffs and the
:15:58. > :16:02.impossibility to get the right deal, that something is done to make life
:16:02. > :16:06.easier for consumers. If you are never switch supplier, doing so now
:16:06. > :16:13.could save you a couple of hundred pounds, but energy reforms take
:16:13. > :16:17.time, and for some the benefits may not be felt this winter.
:16:17. > :16:21.It is a little after quarter past six, our top story tonight: The
:16:21. > :16:25.world's economy, including Britain, is at risk of a double-dip
:16:25. > :16:29.recession. The IMF says weak growth has left the major economies in
:16:29. > :16:34.danger. Coming up: Packing up and ready to
:16:34. > :16:38.go, but how the move and Ireland from the Arctic to the south coast?
:16:38. > :16:43.And later on the BBC News Channel, I will have more on those stark
:16:43. > :16:46.warnings from the IMF about global economic growth and why Italy's
:16:46. > :16:56.prime ministers as the country's downgrade is now about politics and
:16:56. > :16:58.
:16:58. > :17:01.A BBC investigation has uncovered evidence of possible fraud and
:17:01. > :17:05.serious wrongdoing in building works overseen by Edinburgh City
:17:05. > :17:09.Council. Nearly half of the staff at the property Conservation
:17:09. > :17:14.Department have been suspended and the police are now investigating.
:17:14. > :17:18.Scotland correspondent James Cook reports from Edinburgh.
:17:18. > :17:23.They call Edinburgh the Athens of the north, and the city council has
:17:23. > :17:27.unique powers to protect the beauty of Scotland's capital. When owners
:17:27. > :17:31.cannot agree on repairs, the council can step in, or do the work
:17:31. > :17:37.and demand payment. Now some officials are accused of abusing
:17:37. > :17:41.those powers. Anita has owned this cafe for 20 years, but now the
:17:41. > :17:48.business is facing ruin. The council ordered repairs to the roof
:17:48. > :17:52.of the building, but as the work's Wandong, the cost went up. In fact,
:17:52. > :17:58.it more than doubled. -- as the works went on. When I received a
:17:58. > :18:05.bill, I almost collapsed, I literally had to sit down. My share
:18:05. > :18:12.was �11,000. I just cannot afford that. I charge �1 for a role.
:18:12. > :18:17.not just one case. In 2005, repair work ordered by the council
:18:17. > :18:24.amounted to �9.2 million. By 2009, that had risen to �20 million. Last
:18:24. > :18:28.year, 2010, surveyors were working on �30 million worth of projects.
:18:28. > :18:33.Now the police want to know what has been going on in the city. They
:18:33. > :18:36.are investigating a claim that a council official went on holiday
:18:36. > :18:40.paid for by contractors. Nearly half the property Conservation
:18:40. > :18:46.Department, some 15 staff, have been suspended. I am now convinced
:18:46. > :18:52.that there is something that has been illegal that has gone on, and
:18:52. > :18:56.that has involved a few council officers. The council says it is
:18:56. > :19:02.taking the claims seriously. It has called in external auditors, and it
:19:02. > :19:08.is co-operating with the police. It is cold comfort in the cafe, where
:19:09. > :19:15.Anita is selling up. I feel I have worked for these is to hand it over
:19:15. > :19:20.to the council. -- worked all these years. As the allegations mount, it
:19:20. > :19:23.is clear that many other people feel the same way.
:19:23. > :19:27.Aid agencies in Pakistan of wine that a slow response to the
:19:27. > :19:31.country's floods could cost more lives as many people do not have
:19:31. > :19:37.access to food, water, shelter or healthcare. More than 300 people
:19:37. > :19:42.have already been killed, another 7 million affected by heavy rains.
:19:42. > :19:49.The Pakistan air force has begun dropping aid in the worst-affected

:20:00. > :20:05.roads. The only way to reach many in need is by air. There is a new
:20:06. > :20:10.Highland landscape here. We joined the Pakistan air force on their
:20:10. > :20:17.first relief mission of this year's floods. They are not just dropping
:20:17. > :20:21.the Elf. They also supplied it. And down below, the hungry came running.
:20:21. > :20:25.Once again, flood victims are looking to the military for help.
:20:25. > :20:31.Many here despair of the ineffective civilian government.
:20:31. > :20:36.Then we find a rare patch of dry Land, a narrow strip of roadway,

:20:40. > :20:43.people are very anxious to move forward. There is a lot of
:20:44. > :20:49.desperation here. They say they have been stacked in this area for
:20:49. > :20:56.a month and a half, completely Karl, and they have received no relief
:20:56. > :21:02.supplies at all. -- completely cut off. So I scramble for the ration
:21:02. > :21:05.packs which contain essentials like rice, cooking oil and milk, a
:21:05. > :21:12.lifeline for this marooned community, but each bag will only
:21:12. > :21:16.last a family for about a week. After dropping the aid, we flew one,
:21:16. > :21:21.scouting for others who need help. His family beckoned us from the
:21:21. > :21:25.rooftop. Their location was noted for the next relief flight. The

:23:20. > :23:24.huge sense of responsibility, I think, because they will be
:23:24. > :23:30.millions of people there watching their home team and expecting us to
:23:30. > :23:34.get results, so hopefully we can perform well. Weymouth will be the
:23:34. > :23:40.venue for the Games. Britain is the most successful nation in Olympic
:23:40. > :23:45.sailing history, so everything points to more home success. In
:23:45. > :23:51.Sydney in 2000, there were three British sailing gold medals. There
:23:51. > :23:55.were two in Athens. But the four gold medals, a silver and a bronze
:23:55. > :23:58.brought home from Beijing will be hard to match. All the other
:23:58. > :24:02.countries are making big step changes in their programme, making
:24:02. > :24:06.them more competitive and making it more difficult for us to win. I
:24:06. > :24:09.think it will be difficult and unlikely that any nation will win
:24:10. > :24:14.six medals, like we did in Beijing. This is the women's match-racing
:24:14. > :24:21.crew. On the left, Lucy and Kate Macgregor. It will be the first
:24:21. > :24:26.time that two sisters sail together for Britain at an Olympics. We know
:24:26. > :24:30.each other a bit too well, so we have our ups and downs
:24:30. > :24:35.occasionally! I think overall it is fantastic sailing with your sister,
:24:35. > :24:39.we know each other, we trust each other, and you know how each other
:24:39. > :24:44.is feeling, and that is great. decision to select the British

:25:34. > :25:39.discovered this island's seven years ago. It was revealed by a
:25:39. > :25:45.melting glacier. Today he has returned with a team of helpers to
:25:45. > :25:50.bag it up, rocked by Rock, and bring part of it back home. I had
:25:50. > :25:56.this idea, what if we could take its south from here, all the way to
:25:56. > :26:01.the UK? We could found a new nation. This idea won and Arts Council
:26:01. > :26:05.competition, and they gave M �500,000 to make it happen. When he
:26:05. > :26:09.gets his rocks back to Britain, he will rebuild the island on a raft
:26:09. > :26:14.the size of a football pitch and toe it around the south coast of
:26:14. > :26:18.England, part of next summer's Cultural Olympiad. He is calling it
:26:18. > :26:22.Nowhereisland, designed to make us think about nation heard and the
:26:22. > :26:30.environment. He thought it would not be here if it was not for the
:26:30. > :26:34.melting of the glaciers. After being towed around the coast of
:26:34. > :26:38.south-west England, Nowhereisland will end up somewhere here in
:26:38. > :26:44.Bristol. Let's as people hear what they think. Is it art, and is it
:26:44. > :26:49.worth the money? Yes, I would say it is hard, very expensive.
:26:49. > :26:53.Anything seems to pass far. If they want the environment, half a

:27:19. > :27:23.Tomorrow some rain and sun, but they will be in different places.
:27:23. > :27:27.Let me show you where the rain has been today, this slice through
:27:27. > :27:31.Wales and the Midlands. It has been pushing up into East Yorkshire and
:27:31. > :27:34.Lincolnshire at times, heavier bursts getting into Wales and the
:27:34. > :27:38.West Country. It is a wriggling weather front, which is wriggling
:27:39. > :27:42.down towards the south-east. Still some fairly heavy bursts in there,
:27:42. > :27:50.too. More wet weather will drive across the West of Scotland, windy
:27:50. > :27:52.as well, but in between some fog patches forming across the heart of
:27:52. > :27:56.England where services are damp after today's rain. Tomorrow will
:27:57. > :28:01.be a blustery day in the north, and there will be some showers around,
:28:01. > :28:11.too. This is where the main action will be tomorrow morning, wet and

:28:11. > :28:15.windy across western Scotland and Northern Ireland for a time. There
:28:15. > :28:20.is that narrow band of rain, getting into the far north of
