:00:07. > :00:10.A call from the Prime Minister for Britain to find its "can-do spirit"
:00:10. > :00:14.to work its way out of economic trouble.
:00:14. > :00:19.He tells the Conservative Conference the country needs to be
:00:19. > :00:23.energised, not paralysed by gloom and fear. Let's see an optimistic
:00:23. > :00:29.future. Let us show the world some fight. Let us pull together. Let us
:00:29. > :00:35.work together and let us together lead Britain to better days ahead.
:00:35. > :00:41.The latest growth figures show we are all spending less. Food-wise,
:00:41. > :00:45.bread and that has gone up so much, milk has gone up. You can't manage.
:00:45. > :00:54.Also on tonight's programme: Amanda Knox back on home soil and speaking
:00:54. > :00:59.as a free woman for the first time. Thank you to everyone who has

:01:50. > :01:56.David Cameron has closed the Conservative Party Conference with
:01:56. > :02:00.a call for Britain to rediscover what he called its can-do optimism.
:02:00. > :02:04.He said his Government was showing leadership in tough times on a day
:02:05. > :02:07.when official figures showed slower growth than previously forecast. Mr
:02:07. > :02:11.Cameron said it was important to tell the truth about the economy.
:02:11. > :02:15.But not end up paralysed by gloom and fear. We will have more on
:02:15. > :02:19.those economic figures. First, Nick Robinson on the Prime Minister's
:02:19. > :02:22.call for Britain to show some fight. This report contains flash
:02:22. > :02:29.photography. When the news is bleak, when times
:02:29. > :02:36.are grim, what do we need from a leader? David Cameron's answer
:02:36. > :02:42.today was belief in ourselves, in our country, in him. Not long ago,
:02:42. > :02:47.he, they, we, thought this speech would be dominated by the riots, by
:02:47. > :02:52.Britain's long, hot summer. Instead, it was overshadowed by the economic
:02:52. > :02:55.storm still breaking around our heads. I know how tough things are.
:02:55. > :03:00.I don't for one minute underestimate how worried people
:03:00. > :03:05.feel, whether that is about making ends meet, or the state of the
:03:05. > :03:10.world economy. The truth is right now, we need to be energised, not
:03:10. > :03:13.paralysed by gloom and fear. Let us bring on the can-do optimism, let
:03:13. > :03:18.us summon the energy and the appetite to fight for a better
:03:18. > :03:23.future for our country, Great Britain. APPLAUSE His party
:03:23. > :03:26.listened hard, but rarely looked as if they were energised. Perhaps it
:03:26. > :03:31.was the realisation that their Government is not just struggling
:03:31. > :03:36.with paying the bills for the last economic crisis, but facing a new
:03:36. > :03:42.one. The threat to the world economy and to Britain is as
:03:42. > :03:46.serious as in 2008 when world recession loomed. The eurozone is
:03:46. > :03:53.in crisis. The French and the German economies have slowed to a
:03:53. > :03:57.stand-still. Even mighty America is questioned about her debts. It is
:03:57. > :04:00.an anxious time. That anxiety was increased for some by this
:04:00. > :04:05.morning's headlines suggesting the Prime Minister wanted families to
:04:05. > :04:10.pay off their own credit cards. Those words briefed to journalists
:04:10. > :04:16.last night were never in fact delivered. His speech was changed.
:04:16. > :04:20.The only way out of a debt crisis is to deal with your debts. That's
:04:20. > :04:25.why households are paying down the credit card and the storecard bills.
:04:25. > :04:29.So, he did not call on people to save or to stop spending. But he
:04:29. > :04:34.did claim that that was what Government had to do, to bail out
:04:34. > :04:40.the mistakes of the last Labour Government. Our plan is right. Our
:04:40. > :04:45.plan will work. I know that you can't see it or feel it right now.
:04:45. > :04:50.Slowly but surely, we are laying the solid foundations for a
:04:50. > :04:55.stronger future. And the vital point is this: If you don't stick
:04:55. > :04:58.with it, it won't work. Growth would come, he said, by cutting
:04:59. > :05:03.business regulations here and in Brussels, by reforming welfare, by
:05:03. > :05:09.launching what he called a Tory housing revolution. A leader
:05:09. > :05:13.struggling with a sore throat struggled to rouse his audience. It
:05:13. > :05:17.was social policy not economics that released his, their passion.
:05:17. > :05:21.The apartheid between private and state education is one of the
:05:21. > :05:29.biggest wasted opportunities in our country today and let it be us, the
:05:29. > :05:34.Conservative Party, who helped to tear it down. APPLAUSE Standards
:05:34. > :05:39.back in schools, teachers back in control, the Conservatives are back
:05:39. > :05:44.in Government. They love that and the promise that his friend, the
:05:44. > :05:49.Education Secretary, would end what he called the scandal of a failing
:05:49. > :05:54.adoption system. His wife loved the pledge to legalise gay marriage, to
:05:54. > :06:02.encourage commitment, he said. As fof his opponent, Ed Miliband, he -
:06:02. > :06:05.- as for his opponent, Ed Miliband, he wasn't mentioned once. You know
:06:05. > :06:09.what? We don't boo our leaders, we are proud of what they have done
:06:09. > :06:15.for our party and what they have done for our country. He ended with
:06:15. > :06:19.a national pep talk, a call to reject pessimism, to embrace the
:06:19. > :06:24.British spirit. Let's see an optimistic future. Let us show the
:06:24. > :06:32.world some fight. Let us pull together. Let us work together. Let
:06:32. > :06:37.us together lead Britain to better days ahead. APPLAUSE It was an
:06:37. > :06:43.invitation to keep the faith and she will and here at least they
:06:43. > :06:49.will. This was less a conference speech and more a call to arms. The
:06:49. > :06:55.Prime Minister is saying to the country we have been great before,
:06:55. > :07:03.we can still do it again. Before then, though, Conservatives will
:07:03. > :07:05.leave here preparing for difficult days ahead.
:07:05. > :07:09.David Cameron's call for more optimism comes on a day when
:07:09. > :07:14.Britain's growth figures have been revised down mainly because we are
:07:14. > :07:18.all cutting back when we go to the shops. Official figures show
:07:19. > :07:23.consumer spending has seen its biggest fall in more than two years.
:07:23. > :07:28.Hugh Pym has more. Growth is lower than we thought,
:07:28. > :07:31.just 0.1% between April and June. Take manufacturing and other areas
:07:31. > :07:35.like financial services and the crucially important one of consumer
:07:35. > :07:38.spending and you get the latest picture published today. We have
:07:38. > :07:46.learned that the consumer economy is stalling with price inflation
:07:46. > :07:49.running well ahead of wage rises and so squeezing budgets. This
:07:49. > :07:55.woman can tell you all about that. She has four children to feed and
:07:55. > :07:59.it is a real struggle. Things are really tight. Anything, you look at
:07:59. > :08:04.anything and even the gas and the electric, it is hard. You are
:08:04. > :08:08.looking at �20 a week on things like that. Food-wise, even like
:08:08. > :08:12.bread and that, it's gone up so much, milk has gone up. It is just
:08:12. > :08:18.- you can't manage. Tesco and Sainsbury's know a lot about our
:08:18. > :08:21.buying habits. Today both reported figures and gave their views on
:08:22. > :08:25.shoppers' struggles. Tesco is doing well overseas, but UK sales are
:08:25. > :08:31.down and the boss told me higher petrol prices were taking their
:08:31. > :08:37.toll on family budgets. We have got a startling statistic the first
:08:37. > :08:41.half of the year, last six months, �750 million spent on filling the
:08:41. > :08:45.petrol tanks up by our customers. That is money that they can't
:08:45. > :08:49.afford to spend on other things for their home and for their every day
:08:49. > :08:53.needs. At Sainsbury's, sales were up, but they have noticed customers
:08:53. > :09:03.are tightening their belts. If the Government wants people to pay off
:09:03. > :09:11.debts, the message is, it is already happening. We have seen
:09:11. > :09:15.customers do this for a long while. Of course, what might be good for
:09:15. > :09:18.individual consumers or households might not be such good news for the
:09:18. > :09:22.wider economy. If lots of people start paying down their debts and
:09:22. > :09:27.spending less on goods and services, that is not going to help the
:09:27. > :09:30.recovery. It could make an already weak growth outlook even worse.
:09:30. > :09:35.It wasn't all doom and gloom in the months between April and June.
:09:35. > :09:43.Household spending was down 0.8%, but manufacturing output saw an
:09:43. > :09:46.increase of 0.2%, service industries registered a 0.2% rise.
:09:46. > :09:49.There is more to the economy than just shopping but consumer spending
:09:49. > :09:55.is a vital part of it and the recovery will depend on whether
:09:55. > :09:58.that spending can pick up again. We can join Nick in Manchester. We
:09:58. > :10:03.seem to start the day with the Prime Minister telling us we should
:10:03. > :10:09.all pay off our credit cards. Then we ended up with what was
:10:09. > :10:13.effectively a big pep talk? never intended us to start the day
:10:13. > :10:17.that way. It was never I am told meant to be an instruction for
:10:17. > :10:21.people to pay off their credit cards, to save and not to spend. It
:10:21. > :10:25.was meant as a description of what was happening. I think what we saw
:10:25. > :10:30.today is the fact that much of what will really affect the real economy
:10:30. > :10:33.could not really be debated here, couldn't be discussed here. The
:10:33. > :10:39.Prime Minister is waiting, not for what he can do, but for what the
:10:39. > :10:42.Bank of England will do, probably tomorrow, to see whether it prints
:10:42. > :10:46.more money, so-called quantitative easing. He is waiting to see what
:10:46. > :10:50.the eurozone will do. Will they rescue the banks that are in
:10:50. > :10:54.trouble? We are waiting too for much more detailed announcements
:10:54. > :10:59.from the Chancellor to come next month in his autumn statement when
:11:00. > :11:04.we hear the details of his plan to get money in loans to small
:11:04. > :11:08.businesses and for that so-called Tory housing revolution. While we
:11:08. > :11:13.wait, a little nervously, it seems to me what the Prime Minister
:11:13. > :11:18.thought was worth doing is trying to invoke the spirit of the
:11:18. > :11:22.Olympics and hope that would cheer us all up.
:11:22. > :11:26.A tearful Amanda Knox says he is overwhelmed at being back on US
:11:26. > :11:30.soil after her acquittal for the murder of Meredith Kercher in Italy.
:11:30. > :11:34.In her first public comment as a free woman, Amanda Knox, who spent
:11:34. > :11:38.four years in jail, spoke to supporters in her home city of
:11:38. > :11:42.Seattle. David Willis was there and his report contains flash
:11:42. > :11:46.photography. Acquitted of murder and now back
:11:47. > :11:52.home, quite a week for Amanda Knox. It will wonder that she's
:11:52. > :12:00.struggling to take it all in. They are reminding me to speak in
:12:00. > :12:06.English. I'm having problems with that. I'm really overwhelmed right
:12:06. > :12:12.now. I was looking down from the aeroplane and it seemed like
:12:12. > :12:19.everything wasn't real. What's important for me to say is just
:12:19. > :12:22.thank you to everyone who's believed in me, who's defended me,
:12:22. > :12:28.who's supported my family. My family's the most important thing
:12:28. > :12:36.to me right now and I want to go and be with them. So thank you for
:12:36. > :12:43.being there for me. APPLAUSE Relief on the part of Amanda Knox's family
:12:43. > :12:47.that she's back home, but as for Meredith Kercher, Amanda Knox's
:12:47. > :12:50.lawyer stressed that she and Amanda had been friends and she urged Miss
:12:50. > :12:55.Knox's supporters to remember Meredith in their prayers. That was
:12:55. > :12:59.followed by a plea to the media for Amanda Knox to be left alone, to
:12:59. > :13:06.rebuild her life, a request which may not be granted. Although her
:13:06. > :13:10.father insists she has no plans to sell her story. No, it's a matter
:13:10. > :13:14.of giving Amanda some time to kind of readjust to being able to be
:13:14. > :13:18.outside and do what she wants, hopefully when she wants. Although
:13:18. > :13:22.the emphasis is on getting back to normal here in the sleepy Seattle
:13:22. > :13:28.suburb where she grew up, it's thought that eventually Amanda Knox
:13:28. > :13:37.may have little option but to sell her story in order to meet legal
:13:37. > :13:42.bills estimated at �750,000. Amanda Knox's family had asked people here
:13:42. > :13:46.to play down the homecoming nature of her release out of respect for
:13:46. > :13:50.Meredith Kercher. The view here is that Amanda Knox, far from being
:13:50. > :13:58.guilty of Meredith's murder, was the victim of a massive miscarriage
:13:58. > :14:06.of justice. The International Monetary Fund has
:14:06. > :14:11.warned a global recession next year can't be ruled out. It is as it
:14:11. > :14:18.says economic growth in European countries is in danger of petering
:14:18. > :14:23.out. Fears are being raised over a
:14:23. > :14:26.blurring of the lines between private and NHS care after news
:14:26. > :14:30.emerged of GPs prompting patients to go private. A York-based
:14:30. > :14:34.practice has written to some of its patients offering them a range of
:14:34. > :14:39.minor treatments privately claiming they are not funded by the local
:14:39. > :14:43.NHS. Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes has the story.
:14:43. > :14:46.Pat Summers needed a small surgical procedure, not essential or life-
:14:46. > :14:50.threatening, but something she would rather have done. So when her
:14:50. > :14:54.doctor told her the operation was no longer available on the NHS and
:14:54. > :15:00.she would have to pay, what did she think? She said, "We can't do it
:15:00. > :15:06.for nothing any more. We are going to, we can do this smaller ops" and
:15:06. > :15:10.you have the service there, why not use it. I was quite happy. This is
:15:10. > :15:13.what around 30 patients were sent, a letter saying their minor
:15:13. > :15:18.surgical procedure was no longer available on the NHS and they now
:15:18. > :15:21.had the option to have them completed as a private patient.
:15:21. > :15:31.Accompanying this was a price list for treatments at the clinic which
:15:31. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:43.is owned by the practice itself. And in Haxby village, there was
:15:43. > :15:49.some concern over patients paying for services that were once
:15:49. > :15:52.available on the NHS. Don't you think we are paying for at National
:15:52. > :15:58.Insurance and everything? It is getting a little bit ridiculous now.
:15:58. > :16:04.I think it is symptomatic of the pressures the NHS is under. Wartime
:16:04. > :16:09.not convinced about is the government's plans will do anything.
:16:09. > :16:13.The government's reforms of the NHS in England put GPs at the heart of
:16:13. > :16:17.the commissioning process, but doctors here have set up a private
:16:17. > :16:21.practice to fill the gap caused by services being cut in the financial
:16:21. > :16:25.squeeze. Many are concerned that if doctors up are responsible for
:16:25. > :16:31.buying and selling services, that could create a conflict of interest.
:16:31. > :16:35.This process where doctors can have private companies has not been you,
:16:35. > :16:39.it is about managing those conflicts of interest and making
:16:39. > :16:44.sure we are clear about how we manage that. At the surgery, they
:16:44. > :16:47.say they have done nothing wrong, but the proposed changes to the NHS
:16:48. > :16:54.in England means its relationship with private companies will come
:16:54. > :17:01.under closer scrutiny. Our top story tonight:
