:02:01. > :02:04.at Six. The Levein Inquiry into press standards has heard from more
:02:04. > :02:07.celebrities today, including the actor Sienna Miller and the best-
:02:07. > :02:10.selling author JK Rowling. Both spoke of how they and their
:02:10. > :02:15.families were affected after their privacy had been invaded by
:02:16. > :02:19.reporters and photographers. Sienna Miller said she had been spat on
:02:19. > :02:24.and Miss Rowling recalled finding a message from a journalist in her
:02:24. > :02:31.child's school bag. Nicholas Nicholas Witchall has spent the day
:02:31. > :02:35.at the inquiry. She's written books which have captivated millions of
:02:35. > :02:38.children. Yet for the writer JK Rowling there is an absolute rule,
:02:38. > :02:45.that her own children are entitled to complete privacy. Unfortunately,
:02:45. > :02:48.as she told the href is -- Leveson Inquiry. A significant section of
:02:48. > :02:52.the press, in my view, have seen that almost as a challenge. Many
:02:52. > :02:57.times she said she felt trapped in her home by photographers. She
:02:57. > :03:02.recalled one incident just after the birth of her son. So we were
:03:02. > :03:06.besieged for a week and then I believed that the photographers had
:03:06. > :03:13.disappeared and, for the first time in a week, I was able to get out of
:03:13. > :03:16.the house with my daughter and the baby. And we were - on this
:03:16. > :03:21.occasion I saw the photographer taking the picture from across the
:03:21. > :03:25.street. I pulled my daughter behind me because I didn't want her
:03:25. > :03:30.photographed and I rather absurdly gave chase, how I thought I was
:03:30. > :03:36.going to outrun a 20-something paparazzi, while pushing a buggy
:03:36. > :03:40.and my daughter was "calm down, mum, don't be silly, it doesn't matter"
:03:40. > :03:43.but it mattered hugely to me. another occasion a letter from a
:03:43. > :03:53.journalist was slipped into the school bag of her five-year-old
:03:53. > :03:55.
:03:55. > :04:02.daughter. I felt such a sense of invasion that my daughter's bag...
:04:02. > :04:08.It's very difficult to say how angry and how angry I felt that my
:04:09. > :04:13.five-year-old daughter's school was no longer a place of, you know,
:04:13. > :04:17.complete security from journalists. Much of the media did excellent
:04:17. > :04:22.work, she said but there was a section which seemed to have few
:04:22. > :04:30.scruples. The attitude seems to be utterly cavalier, indifference.
:04:30. > :04:34.What does it matter? You're famous, you're asking for it. JK Rowling
:04:34. > :04:38.said that if you fought back against some newspapers you could
:04:39. > :04:43.expect retribution. In the case of the actress Sienna Miller the risks
:04:43. > :04:47.could amount to physical danger. She told the inquiry how for a
:04:47. > :04:50.number of years she faced almost daily pursuit by photographers, at
:04:50. > :04:55.times she said it had been terrifying. I would often find
:04:55. > :05:00.myself, I was 21, at midnight running down a dark street on my
:05:00. > :05:03.own with ten big men chasing me and the fact that they had cameras in
:05:03. > :05:07.their hand meant that was legal but if you take away the cameras what
:05:07. > :05:10.have you got? You have a pack of men chasing a woman and obviously
:05:10. > :05:14.that's a very intimidating situation to be in.
:05:14. > :05:18.Photographers seem to know her movements and reporters her secrets.
:05:18. > :05:22.She accused her family of leaking information. There was one
:05:22. > :05:26.particular very private piece of information that four people knew
:05:26. > :05:31.about and I had been very careful to not - to only tell my mother, my
:05:31. > :05:36.sister and two of my closest friends. A journalist had phoned up
:05:36. > :05:40.saying they knew about this and so yes, I accused my family and people
:05:40. > :05:44.who would never dream of selling any sort of information on me. I
:05:44. > :05:48.accused them, someone in that room of selling a story. In fact, her
:05:48. > :05:50.phone was being hacked. When she finally saw the notes kept by Glenn
:05:50. > :05:59.Mulcaire, the News of the World investigator, this is what she
:05:59. > :06:04.found. Dates referring to very personal things within my life, all
:06:04. > :06:07.my telephone numbers, the three I changed in three months, my access
:06:07. > :06:13.numbers, pin numbers, my password for my e-mail that was actually
:06:13. > :06:18.used to hack my e-mail in 2008. whole experience she said had
:06:18. > :06:22.created distrust and anxiety and had left her feeling violated.
:06:22. > :06:27.We can talk to Nick at the Royal Courts of Justice. We have had some
:06:27. > :06:31.days of this evidence, any sort of theme beginning to emerge? Four
:06:31. > :06:38.days of witness testimony now and I think there are some themes
:06:38. > :06:42.emerging. Today, from JK Rowlatt -- Rowling, Sienna Miller, Max Mosley,
:06:42. > :06:46.first there is a section of the British media that has few scruples
:06:46. > :06:49.in the way it deals with the rights and feelings of the people that
:06:49. > :06:53.they come up against, the commercial imperative is to get a
:06:53. > :06:58.story, a photograph. Second, that people, whether they be celebrities
:06:58. > :07:01.or ordinary strepbs, -- citizens, feel genuinely intimidated about
:07:01. > :07:05.standing up to some British newspapers. The impression, rightly
:07:05. > :07:14.or wrongly, is that they can be bullies and that there is no
:07:14. > :07:18.effective control over them. Thank you.
:07:18. > :07:23.A future rows kwrou -- furious row has broken out between the unions
:07:23. > :07:29.and the Government after Ministers claimed next week's strike could
:07:29. > :07:32.cost half a billion pounds. Union leaders have hit back saying that's
:07:32. > :07:37.fantasy economics. The industrial action is expected to cause
:07:37. > :07:41.widespread disruption. They are the public services that
:07:41. > :07:46.millions of us rely upon. But next week they face the worst disruption
:07:46. > :07:52.in a generation as Wednesday's strike on November 30th now looks
:07:52. > :07:55.inevitable. Hundreds of thousands of teachers and civil servants
:07:55. > :07:59.walked out last June over plans to make them pay more and work longer
:07:59. > :08:03.for their pension. Despite months of talks, unions and the Government
:08:03. > :08:06.have so far failed to reach a deal. The responsibility for that
:08:06. > :08:10.disruption lies squarely with the trade union leaders who have
:08:10. > :08:14.decided on a strike even while negotiations are ongoing. I think
:08:14. > :08:18.that is irresponsible. I think it is wrong. And people should know
:08:18. > :08:22.who to blame. I think it's a bit silly for the Prime Minister to be
:08:22. > :08:29.trying to demonise union leaders in this very, very simplistic way. He
:08:29. > :08:33.needs to understand we have been working for months, trying to
:08:33. > :08:39.engage his Ministers in serious negotiations. Unfortunately, that's
:08:39. > :08:42.not been happening. The impact will be widespread and will start at our
:08:42. > :08:46.borders. Civil servants across Government have been asked to
:08:46. > :08:51.volunteer to check passports and man border posts. And for the first
:08:51. > :08:55.time in years, the NHS will be hit, too. Next Wednesday will see the
:08:55. > :08:59.first national strike in the health service since 1988. Now emergency
:08:59. > :09:05.cover will be provided, doctors and the vast majority of nurses will be
:09:05. > :09:08.at work. But hundreds of thousands of staff are expected to walk out
:09:08. > :09:12.including healthcare assistants and the likes of porters and cleaners.
:09:12. > :09:16.It's likely to be the biggest day of industrial action since the late
:09:16. > :09:19.70s. Up to two million workers could strike. But in a worst case
:09:19. > :09:24.scenario, today the Treasury said it could cost the economy up to
:09:24. > :09:28.half a billion pounds. It estimates more than two thirds of all schools
:09:28. > :09:32.will close, so many parents will be -- won't be able to work. This
:09:32. > :09:35.primary school in Cardiff is one of thousands that will shut. It's a
:09:36. > :09:39.lot of trouble really because you have parents going into work who
:09:39. > :09:44.haven't got - especially my mum, she's no one to look after my
:09:44. > :09:49.brother and he is special needs. my son has to suffer for one day, I
:09:49. > :09:51.am sure it's going to benefit all round. There could be more
:09:51. > :09:55.disruption. Today one union indicated November 30th could just
:09:55. > :10:02.be the start and without a resolution to the dispute further
:10:02. > :10:05.national strikes would be inevitable in the new year. That
:10:05. > :10:09.strike will take place the day after the Chancellor's autumn
:10:09. > :10:12.statement. His chance to show how he is going to get the economy
:10:12. > :10:17.growing against a backdrop of gloomy forecasts. Figures out today
:10:17. > :10:20.show the number of young people in England who aren't in education,
:10:20. > :10:26.training or work has risen to a record high. But one company that's
:10:26. > :10:29.bucking the trend is Toyota, which has unveiled plans for 1,500 new
:10:29. > :10:34.jobs in Derbyshire. From there, our political editor Nick Robinson
:10:34. > :10:38.reports. Stick to the plan and things will
:10:38. > :10:44.get better, so says David Cameron and this is what better looks like.
:10:44. > :10:47.Toyota are promising to create up to 1500 new jobs at their plant. A
:10:47. > :10:51.welcome bit of good news for a Prime Minister who knows that next
:10:51. > :10:57.week his Chancellor will have to tell the country the bad news,
:10:57. > :11:01.about just how far the economy is off course. I want Britain to be a
:11:01. > :11:04.manufacturing success story in this century and today's announcement is
:11:04. > :11:11.unqualified good news for Derbyshire, for Toyota, and for
:11:11. > :11:15.Britain. Derby's a place where they boost they make not just cars, but
:11:15. > :11:18.planes and trains, too. David Cameron set up this city,
:11:19. > :11:22.Derby, as a test of the Government's entire economic
:11:22. > :11:28.strategy. A few months ago he brought the entire cabinet here to
:11:28. > :11:34.Rolls Royce and promised that the economy would focus again on
:11:34. > :11:40.manufacturing, on making things. But weeks later they were marching
:11:40. > :11:45.in the streets here when bombardia said it would have to cut 1400 jobs
:11:45. > :11:51.when an order for new British trains was given to the German
:11:51. > :11:57.company Siemens. Alan's family business makes parts
:11:57. > :12:01.for trains. That's a destination board. His firm had plans to expand.
:12:01. > :12:09.Not now. How many jobs might that have created here? Two jobs over a
:12:09. > :12:13.period of five years. Just making those? Just on that component.
:12:13. > :12:17.does he want from the Chancellor next Tuesday? He can sum it up in
:12:17. > :12:21.one word, confidence. We are in a position where we are in a status
:12:21. > :12:25.quo and don't have the confidence to do anything much further than we
:12:25. > :12:30.are at the moment. We would love to be in a position where we can
:12:30. > :12:35.expand rather than stay as we are. That would increase training, jobs,
:12:35. > :12:38.investment for the future. Unemployment here is up 13% in the
:12:38. > :12:47.past year and today new national figures showed that more than one
:12:47. > :12:52.in five 18-24-year-olds are classified as not in employment,
:12:53. > :12:55.education or training. That's NEET, for short, that's not how it feels.
:12:55. > :12:59.I have qualifications but still can't get work because of the
:12:59. > :13:04.recession. With unemployment rising and growth stalling, Labour says
:13:04. > :13:09.the autumn statement is the time to change course. The statement will
:13:09. > :13:13.mark a crucial moment in the economic course of our country. It
:13:13. > :13:18.will show comprehensively that the biggest economic gamble for a
:13:18. > :13:22.generation has failed. So, it's far, far better to change course and
:13:22. > :13:26.have a credible deficit reduction plan based on higher growth and
:13:26. > :13:31.employment, rather than a failing plan based on low growth and high
:13:31. > :13:35.unemployment. When the Chancellor delivers his autumn statement next
:13:35. > :13:40.Tuesday it will in part be a report back on the state of the economy.
:13:40. > :13:48.But the test of it will be whether he can give hope to communities
:13:48. > :13:53.like this. Nick is in now back in London in
:13:53. > :13:55.Downing Street. We heard in your report what business wants, any
:13:56. > :14:01.hints about what's likely to be in the Chancellor's statement next
:14:01. > :14:04.week? An intriguing hint today, which backs up what we have been
:14:04. > :14:07.hearing that infrastructure spending, in other words, spending
:14:07. > :14:10.on things like road projects and transport projects, broadband, for
:14:10. > :14:15.example, things that persuade companies to invest and create jobs
:14:15. > :14:19.will be the real focus of next Tuesday's statement. The
:14:19. > :14:24.Chancellor's deputy, Danny Alexander, said in a speech today
:14:24. > :14:29.at lunchtime that he wanted to switch spending to capital spending,
:14:29. > :14:33.strip out the jargon, what does that mean? Cuts in day-to-day
:14:33. > :14:35.spending in order to spend more on building things. And what that may
:14:36. > :14:38.mean is simply looking around Whitehall for little bits of money
:14:38. > :14:43.that have not been spent by Government departments and doing
:14:43. > :14:46.that, but it may mean something much more dramatic than that. And
:14:46. > :14:50.certainly one source tonight suggested this was an important
:14:50. > :14:54.move that would switch money from one side of the balance sheet to
:14:54. > :14:58.the other. The hope being that confidence is given to people when
:14:58. > :15:01.they see that Britain is building again.
:15:01. > :15:05.At the Stephen Lawrence murder trial the chief forensic scientist
:15:05. > :15:09.in the investigation has spoken of the concerns he had about crucial
:15:09. > :15:12.evidence. Adrian Wain said he had been worried about contamination of
:15:12. > :15:16.clothing. Gary Dobson and David Norris deny murdering Stephen
:15:16. > :15:20.Lawrence at a bus stop in London 18 years ago. Our home affairs
:15:20. > :15:26.correspondent Tom Symonds is at the Old Bailey.
:15:26. > :15:30.The case against Gary Dobson and David Norris hangs on forensically
:15:30. > :15:34.microscopic particles, hair, fabric fibres and blood found on their
:15:34. > :15:38.clothes and on Stephen's. The prosecution says it puts them at
:15:38. > :15:48.the scene of the killing. The defence, that over the years the
:15:48. > :15:49.
:15:49. > :15:53.The forensic scientist in charge, Adrian Wain, here on the right,
:15:53. > :15:58.oversaw the examination of key clothing exhibits in the 1990s. In
:15:58. > :16:03.1999, police carried out a review of the way clothes were stored in
:16:03. > :16:13.these paper bags. The court heard quoted a report, referring to
:16:13. > :16:28.
:16:28. > :16:33.The forensic scientist agreed he could imagine saying that. Shortly
:16:33. > :16:39.after the killing his lab carried out the examination of Stephen's
:16:39. > :16:44.black, blood-stained jacket, but not, his blue jumper, worn
:16:45. > :16:48.underneath, it was less likely to have got fibres from the suspects.
:16:48. > :16:58.In 2001 the police wanted to get it tested. The suspects told them,
:16:58. > :17:02.
:17:02. > :17:11.eight years on, he had concerns. He Barrysters for Colin Norris, here
:17:11. > :17:18.on the left and Gary Dobson have said they cannot -- David Norris
:17:18. > :17:23.and Gary Dobson have said they cannot.... The prosecution has told
:17:23. > :17:32.the jury that the risk of contamination is ther retal, not
:17:32. > :17:36.realistic. Our top story tonight: More A-list

:18:06. > :18:11.it's a different story. New jobs at New figures on migration in and out
:18:11. > :18:14.of the UK have been published. The latest figures are for 2010 and
:18:14. > :18:20.showed the difference between the number of people coming in, minus
:18:20. > :18:25.those leaving the country is just over 250,000. That is a record. Our
:18:25. > :18:28.home affairs correspondent has the details.
:18:28. > :18:32.This latest net migration figure is the highest on record and a
:18:32. > :18:39.headache for ministers, who know all too well that immigration is a
:18:39. > :18:44.key issue for so many of the public. One of the reasons the figure is so
:18:44. > :18:48.high is because of people like Claire Guile. She and her family
:18:48. > :18:54.planned to emigrate to New Zealand, but then decided to stay put. They
:18:54. > :18:59.are part of a trend. Emigration from the UK is at the lowest for a
:18:59. > :19:05.decade. If we went to New Zealand we would have had to work harder.
:19:05. > :19:10.We would have had to find childcare. We would have had to pay for
:19:10. > :19:16.medical care. The houses were not much cheaper. It would meant we
:19:16. > :19:23.both would have to work full-time. What are the annual figures? At
:19:23. > :19:28.1,000 people came into the UK. These figures remain steady. Only
:19:28. > :19:32.339,000 people emigrated. 252,000 is the difference. The net
:19:32. > :19:39.migration total. This is more than double the Government's target of
:19:39. > :19:43.100,000 by 2015. What the figures tell us is in 2010 net migration
:19:43. > :19:47.was much too high. That is why we took immediate action when we came
:19:47. > :19:51.into Government on the work route, on students and were about to
:19:51. > :19:54.announce breaking the link between coming here and setting here and on
:19:55. > :19:58.-- settling here and on the family route. We knew it would take a full
:19:59. > :20:04.Parliament to get net migration down to sustainable levels we want.
:20:04. > :20:07.We think the Government has the wrong target. They are not
:20:07. > :20:13.fulfilling promises they made. They said net migration should go down.
:20:13. > :20:19.It has gone up 10% on their watch. They said they would make sure more
:20:20. > :20:26.people were repelled at the borders. The number has gone down instead of
:20:26. > :20:30.up a suburban hair and beauty salon, which like so many shops have an
:20:30. > :20:35.international staff. Agnieszka Wieczorek planned to stay

:21:52. > :21:55.The operators of a helicopter which crashed in the North Sea killing
:21:55. > :21:59.all 16 people aboard had been planning to replace its main gear
:21:59. > :22:02.box a week before the disaster. That is according to an air
:22:02. > :22:08.accident report published today. The helicopter was flying from an
:22:08. > :22:14.oil platform in the North Sea to Aberdeen in April 2009. From there,
:22:14. > :22:19.our Scotland correspondent sent this report.
:22:19. > :22:23.It was called flight 85 November. This work was helicopter and what
:22:23. > :22:28.should have been a routine journey, ferrying passengers from a platform
:22:28. > :22:32.more than 100 miles off-shore. The wreckage was the evidence of a
:22:32. > :22:37.catastrophic gear box failure. The crew making one Mayday call,
:22:37. > :22:41.followed quickly by another, as the aircraft plummeted into the water.
:22:41. > :22:44.All 16 on board died. In this, the worst accident in the North Sea for
:22:44. > :22:49.r for more than 20 years. Those there to cancel their families
:22:49. > :22:55.through their loss say they will welcome today's findings. People
:22:55. > :23:00.have gone through a lot of grieve, a lot of pain, loss, anger. A lot
:23:00. > :23:04.of uncertainty as well, because of what was actually the cause of the
:23:04. > :23:08.disaster. Today is an opportunity that that part, at least, can be
:23:08. > :23:13.established. This much was already known, there
:23:13. > :23:21.was a huge search for any survivors. An eyewitness spoke of the aircraft
:23:21. > :23:26.descending rapidly before it hit the surface of the sea. In the
:23:27. > :23:30.beginning of March the helicopter's gear box was replaced. 25th, a
:23:30. > :23:34.metallic particle was found and an inspection ordered. The
:23:34. > :23:39.manufacturer was consulted. The report states this consultation led
:23:39. > :23:44.to a misunderstanding or miss communication. Plans to replace the
:23:44. > :23:50.faulty equipment were cancelled. are pleased to see the air accident
:23:50. > :23:53.branch report. They provided us with a detailed, very painstaking,
:23:53. > :23:57.obvious forensic examination of what went wrong. The off-shore
:23:57. > :24:01.workers were returning home when this accident happened. The
:24:01. > :24:05.helicopter was just 20 minutes away from landing.
:24:05. > :24:11.The helicopter's operators say procedures have now been
:24:11. > :24:14.strengthened and have been changed. This report makes 17 safety
:24:14. > :24:24.recommendations for the industry to try and ensure that a tragedy like
:24:24. > :24:34.this never happens again. Rob Andrew, England's elite rugby
:24:34. > :24:36.

:24:45. > :24:49.apologised for recent events. Yesterday, the RFU said it would
:24:49. > :24:55.investigate the highly-damaging leak of reports, which lifted the
:24:55. > :24:59.view on the England players' view on the failed World Cup. Today,
:24:59. > :25:04.many who think it was to damage, drew drou drew, came out to fight -
:25:04. > :25:08.- Rob Andrew came out to fight his corner. As they left New Zealand
:25:08. > :25:13.last month having been knocked out of the quarter-finals, England's
:25:13. > :25:19.players may have thought it could not get worse. Since then English
:25:19. > :25:24.rugby has lurched from one crisis to another. Today, the man many
:25:24. > :25:28.feel is responsible finally said "Sorry." I apologise. I am saddened
:25:28. > :25:32.about what is going on at the moment. I am saddened for English
:25:32. > :25:37.rugby, because it's not a fair reflection on everything in English
:25:37. > :25:41.rugby. From the moment this drinking session spiralled out of
:25:41. > :25:48.control, England's dismalWorld Cup was dogged by off-field
:25:48. > :25:57.controversies. The sense of scandal culminated in three reports into
:25:57. > :26:00.the campaign. They revealed a squad driven by the management. Today Ian
:26:00. > :26:06.Smith resigned. I am absolutely shattered by what is going on.
:26:06. > :26:11.Both on and off the field, at the moment.
:26:11. > :26:17.You know, this last 127 months has been the most extraordinary working
:26:17. > :26:23.environment that anybody could possibly be in.
:26:24. > :26:28.-- this last 12 months. Amid all the chaos, it is easy to forget
:26:28. > :26:34.that England are six nation champions. Time is running out to
:26:34. > :26:37.find a road to recovery. Well, English rugby finds itself no
:26:37. > :26:43.chief executive, no coach and no captain. It appears the Government
:26:43. > :26:48.now have had enough. The Sports Minister said last night he wants
:26:48. > :26:50.an entire revamp of the structure of the RFU. Four years until
:26:50. > :26:56.England host the next World Cup, time is very much of the essence.
:26:56. > :27:00.Thank you very much. That takes us to the weather.
:27:00. > :27:03.A lively night out there A lively night out there
:27:03. > :27:10.weatherwise. I have got a beauty of a satellite
:27:10. > :27:15.picture to show you. Not too beautiful if you are stuck out in
:27:15. > :27:20.the Atlantic. Nothing too exceptional for us. Nonetheless
:27:20. > :27:24.very windy. The Northern Isles seeing gusts. It is this squally
:27:24. > :27:28.weather front which brings rain across the country. Gusts across
:27:29. > :27:33.the Pennines, 50-60 miles per hour. Be aware of that. Rain will extend
:27:33. > :27:40.down to the south-escalator on. Clearing up behind and turning
:27:40. > :27:43.chilli. -- chilly.
:27:43. > :27:48.Sunshine across the heart of England. A nip in the air, mind you.
:27:48. > :27:53.The last of the overnight rain clear from East Anglia and the far
:27:53. > :27:58.south-east. A lot of Sunshine across southern counties. The winds
:27:58. > :28:05.not too strong. Patchy cloud. All in all, a reasonable start to the
:28:05. > :28:10.day. For Wales it should be dry, fine and sunny. Cloud across
:28:10. > :28:14.Snowdonia. More cloud over the Irish Sea. Chilly, breezy and
:28:14. > :28:19.showers around. Cold over Scotland. Snow falling to
:28:19. > :28:24.low levels. It should be settling to 300 metres. High-level routes
:28:25. > :28:28.could be affected by that. Some blustery showers across
:28:28. > :28:33.northern areas. One or two making it further south. Through the
:28:33. > :28:37.afternoon a lot of fine and sunny, if rather chilly weather out there,
