:00:19. > :00:23.five facing a difficult start in life. You just get stuck in a rut,
:00:23. > :00:30.really, sitting in all day doing nothing. Sitting around being bored

:01:42. > :01:47.reaction from unions and business leaders to the latest figures on
:01:47. > :01:51.youth unemployment. More than a million people aged between 16 and
:01:51. > :01:58.24 are now jobless - the highest it has been since records began in
:01:58. > :02:04.1992. Total unemployment now stands at 2.2 million. Just today, it was
:02:04. > :02:12.announced that nearly 2000 more jobs are at risk. We report from
:02:12. > :02:16.Gloucester. There is not much light in the
:02:16. > :02:21.gloom of the jobs market. Some areas have higher levels of
:02:21. > :02:25.joblessness, but the south-west of England has seen an increase. For
:02:25. > :02:29.young people, finding a job seems to get tougher by the month. There
:02:29. > :02:35.are now more than 1,000,016 to 25 year-olds unemployed, including
:02:35. > :02:39.students looking for work. Sam, 17, has done a two week course at
:02:39. > :02:44.Gloucestershire College to helping hand for a job. He wants to work in
:02:44. > :02:49.catering, but after several months, he has had no luck. You just get
:02:49. > :02:53.stuck in a rut, really, sitting in all day, doing nothing. Sitting
:02:53. > :02:57.around been board has made me want to get a job, because if you have

:03:19. > :03:23.Amey! To worry is that with slow growth, it will be hard to bring
:03:23. > :03:29.down unemployment and provide enough opportunities for young
:03:29. > :03:33.people in full-time education. The Labour leader said it was time for
:03:33. > :03:37.ministers to act. Instead of blaming everybody else and making
:03:37. > :03:41.excuses, the government should listen to stop it should change
:03:41. > :03:46.course, take action to get our economy moving, and most of all,
:03:46. > :03:50.but our young people back to work. The business secretary hosted an
:03:50. > :03:54.apprenticeship summit to highlight initiatives to help young people.
:03:54. > :03:57.There is no silver bullet, and we are concentrating on this
:03:57. > :04:02.apprenticeship initiative, giving small companies an incentive to
:04:02. > :04:07.take on young people into apprenticeships on a bigger scale.
:04:07. > :04:11.Some older workers like Martin are finding life just as tough as their
:04:11. > :04:16.younger counterparts. He is learning plumbing. He left the RAF

:04:25. > :04:30.employing me. That was very shocking. I thought there would be
:04:30. > :04:33.something out there. There are still unfilled vacancies, and it is
:04:33. > :04:37.not all bad news, with Northern Ireland seen a slight fall in
:04:37. > :04:41.unemployment. With announcements today that many more jobs are at
:04:41. > :04:47.risk because of employers making cuts, there could be troubled
:04:47. > :04:50.waters ahead. The bleak news on jobs comes as the
:04:50. > :04:54.Bank of England's governor Sir Mervyn King warned that Britain's
:04:54. > :04:58.economy could stagnate until the middle of next year. The bank has
:04:58. > :05:03.now cut its growth forecast for this year and next to about 1%,
:05:03. > :05:10.saying the global economic outlook had worsened. Sir Mervyn did so
:05:10. > :05:16.that inflation is likely to have reached its peak. There is some
:05:16. > :05:18.flash photography in this report. Anyone looking for good news about
:05:18. > :05:27.the economy from the Bank of England today would have been
:05:27. > :05:33.sorely disappointed. The difficult economic environment, flat, long
:05:33. > :05:36.and arduous. The details were even gloomier than the Governor. Three
:05:36. > :05:40.months ago, the Bank of England was expected the economy to grow by
:05:40. > :05:46.more than 2% next year. In this new report, the forecast is for growth
:05:46. > :05:51.of just 1%. They are not expecting much growth at all over the next
:05:51. > :05:56.few months. The only good news is that for once, they have lowered
:05:56. > :06:01.their inflation forecast as well. Inflation has climbed relentlessly
:06:01. > :06:06.over the last two years to more than 5%. But from now on, the bank
:06:06. > :06:10.expected to drop like a stone, to barely 2% by the end of next year.
:06:10. > :06:14.So there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if the tunnel is a lot
:06:14. > :06:19.longer than the Bank originally thought. We would expect that next
:06:19. > :06:23.year, real take-home pay will start to recover slowly. The
:06:23. > :06:28.extraordinary squeeze on real take- home pay that we have seen it
:06:28. > :06:31.should now begin to come to an end. Bank watchers drew a clear lesson
:06:31. > :06:35.to stop the Bank of England is going to be printing more money to
:06:35. > :06:39.support the economy. Maybe a lot more. These forecasts are so weak

:07:02. > :07:05.that Italy can manage its massive debt. If Europe's government cannot
:07:05. > :07:10.get on top of the crisis over the next few months, Sir Mervyn things
:07:10. > :07:15.we are all in for a bumpy ride. Gradually, we will be able to put
:07:15. > :07:19.things right, but in the short run, they road developments in the world
:07:19. > :07:22.economy about which we can do little. In the long run, the
:07:22. > :07:27.Governor likes to say that we are masters of our fate. The bank and
:07:27. > :07:31.government have a plan for recovery, and eventually we will get there.
:07:31. > :07:37.But the long run is turning out to be much longer than anyone hoped,
:07:37. > :07:40.or the Bank expected. Let's go live to Downing Street and
:07:40. > :07:45.our political editor. These latest figures from the bank and on jobs
:07:45. > :07:50.are going to put extra pressure on the Chancellor. Pressure, head of

:07:54. > :07:58.the nearest thing we get to it. I understand it there will be a
:07:58. > :08:03.package of measures in that designed to deal with some of these
:08:03. > :08:07.problems, some sort of initiative on a youth unemployment, although I
:08:07. > :08:12.am told he is not convinced that a tax break for small companies to
:08:12. > :08:15.hire the young and unemployed is the way forward. Some sort of
:08:15. > :08:20.rebate for companies that use enormous amounts of energy, like
:08:20. > :08:25.Rio Tinto, which lost so many jobs in Northumberland today. Most
:08:25. > :08:29.intriguing of all, a new scheme to underwrite the mortgages of people
:08:29. > :08:34.who struggle to find a deposit large enough to actually buy a new
:08:34. > :08:38.home. There is a gap between people who want to buy, and lenders who
:08:38. > :08:41.dare not risk direct. The government believes it can make up
:08:41. > :08:47.some of that shortfall by underwriting an insurance scheme
:08:47. > :08:50.for that. Ministers say to me they know that will not be enough. They
:08:50. > :08:54.continued to blame the euro-zone for the troubles they are in. They
:08:54. > :08:59.will not be helped politically by Lord Oakeshott, a leading Lib Dem,
:08:59. > :09:03.who said they needed a lesson in economics if they blame the current
:09:03. > :09:07.unemployment figures on the euro- zone, because these figures rated
:09:07. > :09:12.two policies six months ago. One other thing that is more about feel
:09:12. > :09:17.than policy, this is when we are seeing more and more images of
:09:17. > :09:21.Margaret Thatcher. It is to promote a new film, but it is an unhelpful
:09:21. > :09:25.reminder of the past for this government.
:09:25. > :09:29.Doctors are calling for all smoking in cars to be banned across the UK,
:09:29. > :09:32.even if it is your own car and you are driving alone. The British
:09:32. > :09:40.Medical Association says there is compelling scientific evidence that
:09:40. > :09:44.people in smoky cars are exposed to very high levels of harmful poisons.
:09:44. > :09:49.It is something a lot of smokers enjoy - lighting up once they have
:09:49. > :09:53.started driving. But after the smoking ban in public places, could
:09:53. > :09:59.the private car be the next no- smoking zone? I think the
:09:59. > :10:04.government... I think they have penalised us everywhere we go.
:10:04. > :10:10.is good to stop passive smoking in another area where you generally
:10:10. > :10:14.get a lot of people. This woman smoked throughout her son's
:10:14. > :10:19.childhood, with no idea of the harm she could be doing him. Ben is now
:10:19. > :10:24.14 and has as much. She is worried she is responsible. I could blame
:10:24. > :10:28.the government for not smoking -- stopping me, all the tobacco
:10:28. > :10:32.companies, but it has got to be down to me. I am a grown-up and I
:10:32. > :10:37.chose to do that, I am not proud of it. How much potential damage our
:10:37. > :10:40.drivers doing to their health when they light up? The average car
:10:40. > :10:45.journey in the UK is 23 minutes long, and on their journey, a
:10:45. > :10:50.smoker is likely to have one cigarette. A single cigarette it
:10:50. > :10:54.estimated to produce 12 times the level of toxins you get in the car
:10:54. > :11:02.of a non-smoker. This test is measuring how many cancer-causing
:11:02. > :11:07.particles a cigarette create in a car. Experts say children in
:11:07. > :11:12.smokers cars are especially vulnerable. So many children are
:11:12. > :11:18.admitted to hospital every year with chronic asthma, glue ear, and
:11:18. > :11:21.it is always associated with sudden infant deaths as well. In the
:11:21. > :11:25.longer term, exposure to second- hand smoke will greatly increase
:11:25. > :11:29.your chances of developing emphysema and lung cancer.
:11:29. > :11:33.charities have been campaigning on the issue for years, and
:11:33. > :11:37.politicians are now looking more closely. But how likely is a ban?
:11:37. > :11:43.In Wales and Northern Ireland, they are considering it in a car-

:11:47. > :11:54.This marks the first move into people's private territory. If they
:11:54. > :11:57.were to introduce a ban on smoking, they would then introduced one on

:13:45. > :13:49.was not a lot of shouting. In fact, none of those watching this fatal
:13:49. > :13:55.attack realised that Stephen had been so badly injured. He managed

:18:32. > :18:35.why the Government has just announced they will be a code of

:21:07. > :21:14.pitch in football. He said, if there was, it should be settled
:21:14. > :21:18.with a handshake. This is a short extract. You might make a movement

:21:38. > :21:42.probably already been done. An inquiry into the death of a
:21:42. > :21:46.woman trapped in a mineshaft in Ayrshire says that she might have
:21:46. > :21:52.survived if it hadn't been for a series of failings by Strathclyde
:21:52. > :21:55.Fire Service. Alison Hume fell 40 foot down a disused mineshaft in
:21:55. > :22:03.Galston in 2008. Health and safety rules delayed a rescue for six
:22:03. > :22:07.Alison Hume was walking home in a thick fog when the earth opened up
:22:07. > :22:13.beneath her. As she strayed off the path, an old coal mine suddenly
:22:13. > :22:18.gave way. She had just been made a partner in a law firm. She had two
:22:18. > :22:22.teenage daughters. Her family think she should still be here today.
:22:23. > :22:28.think we are angry to the attitude of certain members of the fire
:22:28. > :22:35.service. It makes it worse for me. I mean, it is proved that Alison
:22:35. > :22:42.should not have died. After a search, her daughter raised the
:22:42. > :22:45.alarm at 2am when she heard her mother's screens. After the 999
:22:45. > :22:49.call, firefighters were actually here pretty quickly. Then the
:22:49. > :22:54.problems began. A fireman was sent down the hole, but without any
:22:54. > :22:59.rescue equipment. Senior officers overruled a paramedic and other
:22:59. > :23:06.firefighters who wanted to go down to rescue her. When she was finally
:23:06. > :23:10.brought out, it was 7.4 tea in the morning, and too late. The judge

:23:14. > :23:18.were more concerned with health and safety policy than saving lives.
:23:18. > :23:22.Every person at their incident, the overall goal was to rescue Alison
:23:22. > :23:25.Hume. We could see all the options available to us and we selected
:23:25. > :23:29.what we thought was the best option at the time to rescue her
:23:29. > :23:34.successfully. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. You will not
:23:34. > :23:38.apologise to her family? There are a number of emergency services that
:23:38. > :23:42.attended this incident. It was not just the fire service. But Alison
:23:42. > :23:46.Hume's family say that their confidence in the fire service has
:23:46. > :23:51.been shaken. They say health and safety has been used as an excuse

:23:55. > :23:58.Martin Johnson, the England rugby union manager, has resigned. It
:23:58. > :24:02.follows that side's disappointing World Cup in New Zealand, which
:24:02. > :24:06.ended in a quarter-final defeat by France and featured a series of
:24:06. > :24:13.controversies on and off the field. Dan Roan joins us now from
:24:13. > :24:16.Twickenham. Well, Martin Johnson's decision to walk away from England
:24:16. > :24:21.was really no surprise. From the moment that England crashed out of
:24:21. > :24:25.the World Cup, his position was in some peril. Today, he explained why
:24:26. > :24:30.he felt he had to go. This report contains flash photography.
:24:30. > :24:33.colossus for both club and country, Martin Johnson remains arguably the
:24:33. > :24:39.most successful player in England rugby history. The only man to lead
:24:39. > :24:44.his nation to World Cup glory in 2003, he secured his place in
:24:44. > :24:49.sporting folklore. The hope was that his unique status would make
:24:49. > :24:52.up for a lack of managerial experience. Winning this year's Six
:24:52. > :24:57.Nations hinted at progress. But a shattering quarter-final defeat to
:24:57. > :25:01.France last month brought England's dismal World Cup campaign to a
:25:01. > :25:05.premature end. Today, he decided to bring the uncertainty over his
:25:05. > :25:10.position to an abrupt end. I didn't come to this decision lightly. I
:25:10. > :25:14.think it is in the best interests of myself and the England team that
:25:14. > :25:18.I do not carry on into next year. England's World Cup was docked by a
:25:18. > :25:22.series of controversies. A Queen's town drinking session spiralled out
:25:22. > :25:27.of control, eventually costing Mike Tindall his international career.
:25:27. > :25:31.The sense was that Johnson had been undermined by his players and
:25:31. > :25:37.employers, who remained silent. would like to have seen him with a
:25:37. > :25:41.little bit more backing from the RFU, a bit more support from the PR
:25:41. > :25:45.of the whole World Cup, giving them a bit more support them and using
:25:45. > :25:51.his strength. Whoever replaces him will have to contend with a
:25:51. > :25:55.governing body going to drew unprecedented upheaval. REPORTER:
:25:55. > :25:59.Do you not have to take some responsibility as well? Surely you
:25:59. > :26:02.are accountable to some extent? Absolutely, in terms of the
:26:02. > :26:08.department and the structure of the professional game. That is the
:26:08. > :26:12.understanding of my role in this, and... Of REPORTER: So you will not
:26:12. > :26:17.go? You're not considering resigning? Absolutely not.
:26:17. > :26:21.Johnson has rarely tasted defeat like this. His reputation as one of
:26:21. > :26:25.rugby's icons remains intact. But, ultimately, playing greatness did
:26:25. > :26:29.not translate into coaching success. It may well be that the RFU decide
:26:29. > :26:33.to replace him with England's first ever foreign coach. It is a big
:26:33. > :26:36.decision. A host the World Cup in four years time and they have
:26:37. > :26:44.little time to get it right, just two and-a-half months until the
:26:44. > :26:51.A cloudy night tonight and something we haven't seen too much
:26:51. > :26:55.of recently. A soggy evening, that rain becoming more extensive across
:26:55. > :26:58.Northern Ireland and overnight. That will spread northwards across
:26:58. > :27:03.parts of north-west England and central Scotland. Not much of it
:27:03. > :27:06.gets to eastern England, where it has been a very dry year.
:27:06. > :27:11.Temperatures should stay well above freezing by about five or six
:27:11. > :27:15.degrees. Later in Northern Ireland it may turn up at chilly. Some
:27:15. > :27:19.sunshine in Belfast early on. Elsewhere it will take a while but
:27:19. > :27:22.most places will see some sunshine on Thursday. The rain does
:27:22. > :27:26.eventually pull away in Scotland. The cloud may linger in the south-
:27:26. > :27:30.east. More cloud and rain pushes into Northern Ireland and maybe
:27:30. > :27:33.south-west Scotland. For a good part of the day, Scotland will see
:27:33. > :27:37.some brighter spells. For Northern Ireland it will brighten up quite
:27:37. > :27:42.nicely across the north-east, sunshine coming across here.
:27:42. > :27:47.Eventually, perhaps in the London area, some sunshine as well. Parts
:27:47. > :27:51.of the south-east will stay cloudy until late on. Semi across the
:27:51. > :27:55.south-west, but the breeze starts to pick up and more cloud spills
:27:55. > :27:58.into war squabble. The same goes for western fringes of Wales. We
:27:58. > :28:01.should have some sunshine for most of the day in Cardiff and
:28:01. > :28:04.temperatures could reach 13. Temperatures could reach a level 12
:28:04. > :28:08.in Cardiff. But it turns increasingly wet and windy. The
:28:08. > :28:12.wind becomes more of a feature to Thursday night and Friday,
:28:12. > :28:16.particularly blustery across western coasts. Most of Wales
:28:16. > :28:22.should be dry, because the wind is coming from the south. It will be
:28:22. > :28:32.mild, with that of sunshine. Much of England and Wales look dry and
