:01:43. > :01:47.Irish Lions in Australia next Good evening. Welcome to the BBC
:01:48. > :01:51.News at Six. David Cameron has made a series of key changes in his
:01:51. > :01:54.first major Cabinet reshuffle. Andrew Lansley, who steered through
:01:54. > :01:59.the controversial health reforms, has been replaced by the former
:01:59. > :02:02.Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt. And the Transport Secretary, who
:02:02. > :02:10.opposed a new runway at Heathrow, has been moved on, sparking off an
:02:10. > :02:12.angry reaction from the London Mayor, Boris Johnson. We'll have
:02:12. > :02:22.more on that but, first, here's our political editor, Nick Robinson, on
:02:22. > :02:23.
:02:23. > :02:27.what lies behind this Cabinet shake up. If only sweeping up political
:02:28. > :02:31.problems was this easy. They cleaned up Downing Street in
:02:31. > :02:35.preparation for some new ministerial brooms. The Prime
:02:35. > :02:40.Minister returned from early morning meetings in the House of
:02:40. > :02:44.Commons. He had been firing those deemed to have failed. It was to
:02:44. > :02:50.allow those he was going to hire to parade their way through the door
:02:50. > :02:53.of Number 10. One new arrival, Chris Grayling. He has been asked
:02:53. > :03:01.to head off criticism this Government has gone soft on crime
:03:01. > :03:07.and human rights. What have you got? The answer was Justice. His
:03:07. > :03:12.answer was Health. Many watchers predicted the sack for the former
:03:12. > :03:15.health secretary -- Culture Secretary. It is a huge task. The
:03:15. > :03:23.biggest privilege of my life. I'm looking forward to getting on with
:03:23. > :03:26.the job. Another surprise new face is Patrick McLoughlin. The former
:03:26. > :03:33.government chief whip now transport secretary. In it is about looking
:03:33. > :03:40.to the future, focusing on delivery and looking to the next generation.
:03:40. > :03:47.The Prime Minister today shuffled more than half the cabinet pack. He
:03:47. > :03:53.concentrated on the Tory, rather than the Lib Dem Part of the
:03:53. > :03:59.coalition. The man in charge of the controversial health changes now
:03:59. > :04:04.has to sell the policies. Jeremy Hunt, once in the firing line for
:04:04. > :04:08.the merger with BSkyB, it gets the job of winning them back. The job
:04:08. > :04:12.of Ken Clarke as Justice Secretary was meant to be filled by Iain
:04:12. > :04:17.Duncan-Smith. He turned down the Prime Minister's offer. Lucky for
:04:18. > :04:22.this man, who gets a big promotion. Ken Clarke warned colleagues
:04:22. > :04:27.against filling the prisons, partly because of cost. This is what Chris
:04:27. > :04:31.Grayling told the Tory conference about crime. People think our
:04:31. > :04:36.criminal justice system is broken. Worrying too much about the
:04:36. > :04:40.criminals and not enough about the justice. The woman who was made
:04:40. > :04:45.Transport Secretary less than a year ago, Justine Greening, now
:04:45. > :04:49.loses that job. She is replaced by a man that does a share have public
:04:49. > :04:54.opposition to expanding Heathrow Airport. Patrick McLoughlin is a
:04:54. > :04:57.plain-speaking former miner from the Midlands, nowhere near those
:04:57. > :05:03.airports. That was bitterly condemned by Boris Johnson, he said
:05:03. > :05:10.he would fight the madness of a new runway. This reshuffle did little
:05:10. > :05:15.to change the top of the Cabinet. The Chancellor, foreign, home,
:05:15. > :05:18.defence and Welfare Secretary is, all kept their jobs. Staying in
:05:18. > :05:22.position all the Liberal Democrat ministers. Back there are not at
:05:22. > :05:27.the top table is the man who resigned over his expenses two
:05:27. > :05:31.years ago, David Laws. He becomes Schools Minister. The Government
:05:31. > :05:36.can change the face is all they like. It is the policies that need
:05:36. > :05:40.to change. No change in the economic direction, no change on
:05:40. > :05:45.the reorganisation of the NHS. Delivery, that is what the Prime
:05:45. > :05:52.Minister says his changes are all about. Every solution deliver it
:05:52. > :05:54.brings with it potential political problems. -- solution delivered. As
:05:54. > :05:59.we've heard, Justine Greening, a fierce opponent of expanding
:05:59. > :06:06.Heathrow Airport, has lost her job as Transport Secretary. It has re-
:06:06. > :06:10.opened the row over Britain's airport capacity. Of all the cards
:06:10. > :06:13.the Prime Minister has played in this reshuffle, the appointment of
:06:13. > :06:18.Patrick McLoughlin as transport secretary is potentially one of the
:06:18. > :06:23.most important? His appointment could pave the way for a massive
:06:23. > :06:28.expansion of airport capacity in the south of England, including,
:06:29. > :06:32.potentially, a U-turn on opposing a third runway at Heathrow Airport.
:06:32. > :06:36.He was the Transport Minister under Margaret Thatcher. Today he said he
:06:36. > :06:41.had an open mind on the future of Heathrow. That is not the view of
:06:41. > :06:46.this woman - his predecessor - Justine Greening. Not just a
:06:46. > :06:51.supporter of high-speed rail, as a West London MP, she is a firm
:06:51. > :06:55.opponent of a third runway at Heathrow. That his coalition policy
:06:55. > :06:58.for now. More Conservatives are coming and the view that a third
:06:58. > :07:02.runway at Heathrow should be in the mix, including the Chancellor and
:07:02. > :07:06.others at the Treasury. If the Government wants to rethink its
:07:06. > :07:10.policy, it needs a Transport Secretary who can live with it.
:07:10. > :07:14.First up is a planned consultation on all of theirs. That could
:07:14. > :07:18.involve expanding Stansted or a brand new hub airport on the River
:07:18. > :07:22.Thames east of London or the controversial extra runway at
:07:22. > :07:25.Heathrow. Even the possibility of that prompted Boris Johnson to
:07:25. > :07:34.attack the reshuffle, saying it was clear the Government was ditching
:07:35. > :07:38.his promise not to expand Heathrow. He is not alone. If there any
:07:38. > :07:42.change to government policy in having a third runway at Heathrow,
:07:42. > :07:47.I would lose my seat. I was elected to Parliament in fighting the
:07:47. > :07:53.Campaign Against a third runway at Heathrow. I need to make sure that
:07:53. > :07:56.we, as a government committee to a promise. Increasing airport
:07:56. > :08:01.capacity and other infrastructure projects such as the high-speed
:08:01. > :08:06.rail line from London to Birmingham form a key part of the Government's
:08:06. > :08:13.search for economic growth. Transport Secretary needs to have
:08:13. > :08:16.an open mind about the options. He needs to ensure they are considered
:08:17. > :08:21.fairly. We need decisions from this government. Business cannot wait
:08:21. > :08:26.until 2015 to get a decision. Whatever change Patrick McLoughlin
:08:26. > :08:36.may bring, it will not be quick. Democrats are firmly opposed to
:08:36. > :08:37.
:08:37. > :08:41.Let's get more now from Nick Robinson in Downing Street. In a
:08:41. > :08:47.broader sense, what do these changes say about the direction of
:08:47. > :08:53.the Government? They say the Government is not changing its
:08:53. > :08:57.central economic strategy. The Chancellor stays in place. He has
:08:57. > :09:01.ensured that at junior ministerial level, many of his allies have jobs.
:09:01. > :09:06.There is one fascinating appointments in what Downing Street
:09:06. > :09:11.are saying about delivery rather than policy. The man who is chief
:09:11. > :09:16.executive of LOCOG, an investment banker, it joins the Treasury. His
:09:16. > :09:20.job is not to build Olympic Stadium but make sure that all those roads,
:09:20. > :09:25.houses, bridges and all the rest we have long been promised by
:09:25. > :09:29.politicians, actually do get built. What other changes really about?
:09:29. > :09:35.Addressing problems. The Prime Minister has gone through a list of
:09:35. > :09:40.problems and tried to find people to sort them. Airports, the NHS.
:09:40. > :09:46.Not just the unpopular reforms but the biggest squeeze to the health
:09:46. > :09:51.service finances in its entire lifetime. Jeremy Hunt awarded --
:09:51. > :09:56.rewarded for the way he handled the Olympics rather than the way he
:09:56. > :10:02.handled the Murdochs. Then justice. It is a real problem in the Tory
:10:02. > :10:06.family and the Tory press. Every solution brings its problems. If
:10:06. > :10:10.Chris Grayling wants more prison places, if he wants to lock up more
:10:10. > :10:17.people, what will that do? Cost more money and upset the coalition
:10:17. > :10:22.partners in the Liberal Democrats. The way out of all his problems, I
:10:22. > :10:32.suppose, is to have another reshuffle. And you can find full
:10:32. > :10:34.
:10:34. > :10:38.details of today's Cabinet reshuffle online at the website. In
:10:38. > :10:48.the Paralympics, at Ellie Simmonds missed out on her third gold medal
:10:48. > :10:53.
:10:53. > :10:57.of the Games but managed to get bronze. The last time we saw Prince
:10:57. > :11:02.Harry poolside, it was in rather different circumstances in Las
:11:02. > :11:08.Vegas. Today he was watching one of the few people to have made as many
:11:08. > :11:13.reason headlines as he has. 50m freestyle is the weakest event for
:11:13. > :11:19.Ellie Simmonds. She has two golds but a medal of any colour in this
:11:19. > :11:25.race would have been an achievement. Mary Keitany is the record holder.
:11:25. > :11:32.She never looked like catching have. -- Mirjam de Koning-Peper. The
:11:32. > :11:38.touch was good. Ellie Simmonds had another medal. The smile said it
:11:38. > :11:42.all. She has already secured her status as one of the superstars of
:11:42. > :11:47.these Games. The Prime Minister presented her gold medal last night.
:11:47. > :11:51.I asked the man in charge of her coaching if there has ever been
:11:51. > :11:55.anyone like her. She could be a one-off but we will not stop
:11:55. > :12:01.searching for another one like her, which will help the British team.
:12:01. > :12:06.She is unique. I think it is her attributes that such as her
:12:06. > :12:11.organisation, work ethic, ability to learn new things, which makes a
:12:11. > :12:14.champion athlete. Heather Frederiksen had been training to be
:12:14. > :12:19.an Olympics the match until an accident in 2004 letter with
:12:19. > :12:25.limited use of her right arm and leg. A doctor told her she would
:12:25. > :12:33.never swim again. Here she was racing to victory in the 100m
:12:33. > :12:39.backstroke, successfully defending the title she won in Beijing. That
:12:39. > :12:46.is Great Britain's this gold medal in the pool. Gold and silver in the
:12:46. > :12:54.archery. Danielle Bram won. The footballers have looked at
:12:54. > :13:00.tournaments with their skill for decades block. Blind players are no
:13:00. > :13:10.exception. How about that for a goal! Let's have a look at the
:13:10. > :13:16.
:13:16. > :13:21.Hopes that the Olympics would give a boost to Britain's flagging
:13:21. > :13:25.retail sales have been dashed. Figures out today show that sales
:13:25. > :13:28.actually fell by 0.4% in August, compared with a year ago. It seems
:13:28. > :13:37.people preferred to watch the Games on TV rather than spending time in
:13:37. > :13:42.the shops. Emma Simpson is in Stratford near the Olympic Park now.
:13:42. > :13:46.They are streaming out of the park after enjoying that afternoon of
:13:46. > :13:52.sport. Chances are, a lot of folks will do some shopping. We are at
:13:52. > :13:56.the edge of the Big Mal and it is heaving. Today the first piece of
:13:56. > :14:02.hard evidence about the impact of the Olympics in the retail set. It
:14:02. > :14:06.has been a very different story and elsewhere. It has been a glorious
:14:06. > :14:12.summer, with excitement and medals galore. There has been little gold
:14:12. > :14:15.for retail. Things did not bode well from the start as London
:14:15. > :14:20.streets and teed and shoppers stayed away from the west end,
:14:20. > :14:25.although numbers did not -- did pick up. Most of us enjoyed the
:14:25. > :14:31.Games so much, we did not want to shot, especially those lucky enough
:14:31. > :14:36.to come to the Olympic Park. It is once in a lifetime. I'm sure it has
:14:36. > :14:43.hurt the High Street. You have got to come. It has been done so well.
:14:43. > :14:48.The atmosphere was amazing. Retail sales overall have taken a hit.
:14:48. > :14:53.Food and drink were up. Big-ticket items like home furnishings were
:14:53. > :15:02.down. We were so glued to the television, even reliable growth in
:15:02. > :15:09.online sales shrank last month. In Stratford-upon-Avon, to shot owners
:15:09. > :15:14.stocked up for an Olympic spending spree. My gut feeling was, do not
:15:14. > :15:18.actually go there. I did not have any products. I am pleased with my
:15:18. > :15:24.decision. For the industry as a whole, any chance to boost sales
:15:24. > :15:29.has to be seized on right now. year to date has been poor. A
:15:29. > :15:36.number of retailers have struggled. Let's not forget retail is the
:15:36. > :15:41.biggest single private set employer. That is 3 million jobs. Jobs really
:15:41. > :15:46.matter. Just like the Olympics, there were winners and losers in
:15:46. > :15:50.retail. Sales at this bike shot chain have certainly moved up a
:15:50. > :15:54.gear. Since the Tour de France and the start of the Olympics, August
:15:54. > :16:01.has picked up. The first week of the Olympics was difficult. The
:16:01. > :16:07.second week picked up a me had a record week. The Olympic feel-good
:16:07. > :16:11.factor. -- and we had a record week. It is about whether this would
:16:11. > :16:15.transfer to the high street after the Games has gone. Some would say
:16:15. > :16:21.it is not a bad thing we have not gone shopping. August is
:16:21. > :16:25.traditionally quiet. What this economy needs is confidence.
:16:25. > :16:35.Retailers will hope there will be a pick-up in sales. Dare I mention
:16:35. > :16:36.
:16:36. > :16:39.David Cameron announces major changes to his Cabinet in a bid to
:16:39. > :16:46.relaunch the government. And coming up, Scotland's First Minister paved
:16:46. > :16:49.the way for a vote on Scottish independence.
:16:49. > :16:53.Later on the BBC News Channel, the Olympic boost that never happened,
:16:53. > :17:03.retailers suffer in August, but the service sector bucked the trend and

:17:06. > :17:09.reports a far better August than Hayes senior police officer in
:17:09. > :17:14.Northern Ireland says he fears someone could be killed if rioting
:17:14. > :17:18.continues into a third night. Rioters have taken to the street in
:17:19. > :17:23.north Belfast in a dispute over parades. With the latest, here is
:17:23. > :17:29.Ireland correspondent Mark Simpson. Keeping the peace in this part of
:17:29. > :17:33.Belfast has proved impossible. Two nights in a row. One road divides
:17:33. > :17:37.two communities, mainly Catholics on one side, Protestants on the
:17:37. > :17:43.other. Hardline elements on both sides of the road have been
:17:43. > :17:47.involved in the recent violence. Police came under attack as they
:17:47. > :17:52.tried to keep rival loyalist and republican crowds apart. In total,
:17:52. > :17:58.more than 60 have been hurt this week, all in this one small part of
:17:58. > :18:02.north Belfast. Today police made a short but direct appeal. We need an
:18:02. > :18:05.urgent resolution to this issue, or there is a very real possibility
:18:05. > :18:09.that somebody will be killed over the course of the next few days and
:18:09. > :18:12.weeks. Tension has been simmering since a loyalist band was accused
:18:12. > :18:17.of playing a sectarian June outside the local Catholic church, but
:18:17. > :18:22.there is a wider issue, the underlying divisions. Some
:18:22. > :18:26.Unionists say they feel left behind by the peace process. We are still
:18:26. > :18:31.suffering, and people in the United Kingdom have not grasped that.
:18:31. > :18:34.People and Stormont can say, yes, it has moved on. Some parts of the
:18:34. > :18:38.province have moved on, our community here has not moved on.
:18:38. > :18:43.Paddy Higgins lives on the other side of the road. He was born in
:18:43. > :18:48.1994, the same year as the IRA ceasefire. But he thinks Paumen and
:18:48. > :18:51.peace is still a long way off. There are people of my age you do
:18:51. > :18:55.get involved, and they have been brought up in a community where
:18:55. > :19:00.they have always got involved, and that is the only reason why they do,
:19:01. > :19:05.not choice. Here in the city centre, it is hard to believe there was a
:19:05. > :19:11.full-scale riot last night only a mile away. Life has continued as
:19:11. > :19:15.normal, not just here, but right across Northern Ireland. But back
:19:15. > :19:20.in north Belfast, the police were on high alert. Talks aimed at
:19:21. > :19:24.defusing the tension have so far failed.
:19:24. > :19:30.The mother of a man who was shot dead by the Metropolitan Police
:19:30. > :19:33.seven years ago has today accused officers of executing a son. 24-
:19:33. > :19:38.year-old at the Azelle Rodney was shot six times as police believed
:19:38. > :19:42.he was reaching for a weapon. An inquiry was shown footage of the
:19:42. > :19:47.police chase in which his vehicle was brought to a halt.
:19:47. > :19:50.Police in Norfolk have named a woman whose body was found in the

:20:05. > :20:09.way for a referendum on independence will be put before the
:20:09. > :20:13.Holyrood parliament, setting out his Government's legislative
:20:13. > :20:20.programme, Alex Salmond told MSPs that only independents would give
:20:20. > :20:23.Scotland the power to create growth and jobs. -- independence.
:20:23. > :20:29.A low-key start to an important day in the business of governing
:20:29. > :20:35.Scotland. A legislative programme, 15 bills. At its heart, one which
:20:35. > :20:39.will set out the framework for a referendum on independence. Without
:20:39. > :20:44.full responsibility for the economy, we will continue to be constrained
:20:44. > :20:48.by the choices, frequently disastrous choices, being made by
:20:48. > :20:52.Westminster. With independence we would have the fiscal powers needed
:20:52. > :20:57.for it -- needed to bring forward capital spending, encourage more
:20:57. > :21:01.businesses to invest will start up in Scotland. What do we know so far
:21:01. > :21:04.about how the referendum which could decide whether Scotland stays
:21:04. > :21:08.in or leaves the political union with England, Wales and Northern
:21:08. > :21:13.Ireland would work? It is expected to take place in autumn of 2014.
:21:13. > :21:17.The signals are that 16 and 17 year-olds will be allowed to vote,
:21:17. > :21:20.but it is not yet clear whether voters should after answer a
:21:20. > :21:26.straight question of whether there should be an additional question on
:21:26. > :21:30.more powers for Scotland. The SNP's opponents say this is a government,
:21:30. > :21:34.a First Minister obsessed with independence, with gimmicks over
:21:34. > :21:37.substantive policy. He says he cannot change Scotland because he
:21:37. > :21:42.does not have enough power, so he does not use the power he has to
:21:42. > :21:45.change Scotland for the better. What, then, of the other
:21:45. > :21:49.legislation on the cards? There will be built on same-sex marriage
:21:49. > :21:54.which has cross-party support but is opposed by some faith groups,
:21:54. > :21:57.including the Catholic Church. -- there will be a bill. The Scottish

:23:14. > :23:19.referendum as well. The question is whether people will feel they can

:23:23. > :23:27.time is not propitious, that they will feel cautious, concerned,
:23:27. > :23:31.anxious about the economy, and perhaps not open to the argument of
:23:31. > :23:36.independence. That is a concern that is shared by some strategists,

:23:58. > :24:01.breakthrough with both farmers and milk processors signing up to a
:24:01. > :24:05.voluntary code of practice. We can get more from Jeremy Cooke, who
:24:05. > :24:11.joined us from a dairy farm in Hinckley. Will the deal lead to
:24:11. > :24:16.higher prices for farmers? Well, yes, in a word, it should.
:24:16. > :24:19.Have a look at these beautiful cars, they represent the future of the
:24:19. > :24:24.dairy industry, but it is a future which has, we are told, been put at

:24:35. > :24:40.Dairy cows in an English meadow, a timeless vision of the British
:24:40. > :24:43.countryside, but for how long? Farmers have been warning that
:24:43. > :24:47.supermarkets and processes are driving costs so low that many of
:24:47. > :24:52.them are being forced out of business. Today, though, finally, a
:24:52. > :24:55.breakthrough. The industry has been so fragmented that we are never had
:24:56. > :25:00.enough power to do anything, but I have never seen the industry
:25:00. > :25:04.becomes so tight-knit as in the last six months, helping each other
:25:04. > :25:07.now, and I think the processes and the supermarkets have realised that
:25:07. > :25:12.the farmers mean business, and I think that is why we are starting
:25:12. > :25:17.to see things happen, because we will not give up now until the job
:25:17. > :25:22.is resolved. It is all about the prize of milk. Farmers complain
:25:22. > :25:25.that they are losing about 4p on every leader they produce. They say
:25:25. > :25:31.they have been bullied into contracts which give you my
:25:31. > :25:35.advantage to the big buyers. -- huge advantage. A series of cuts in
:25:35. > :25:39.the price that farmers are paid led to protests and now a voluntary
:25:39. > :25:43.code of practice. It says farmers should get more flexible contracts,
:25:43. > :25:47.be given better notice of price changes, and offered a chance to
:25:47. > :25:52.find better deals elsewhere. The National Farmers' Union has
:25:52. > :25:56.welcomed the news. Many big processors are also signing up.
:25:56. > :25:59.What the voluntary code of practice will do is enable farmers to
:25:59. > :26:02.understand how their price is calculated, and what they are
:26:02. > :26:06.telling me is that they want transparency, they want to
:26:06. > :26:10.understand why they get the prices they do, and this code of practice
:26:10. > :26:17.is a massive step forward. The code of conduct will not solve all of
:26:17. > :26:20.the problems, but it is a much needed positive move.
:26:20. > :26:24.That brings us to the weather now with John Hammond.
:26:24. > :26:32.No mention of the white stuff in his forecast, George, it is going
:26:32. > :26:35.to get warmer as we end the week, A band of cloud, the odd spot of
:26:35. > :26:39.drizzly rain nestling into southern counties as we go into this evening.
:26:39. > :26:44.At the other end of the UK, very windy across the far north, but a
:26:44. > :26:47.fine evening in between, and it will settle into a quiet night. The
:26:47. > :26:53.worst of the winds will moderate, the cloud will break up further
:26:53. > :26:58.south. A fresh night in rural spots, but not desperately cold anywhere.
:26:58. > :27:02.Tomorrow is looking good, a fine day, plain and simple. There will
:27:02. > :27:05.be fair weather cloud building up, but it should not threaten rain
:27:05. > :27:10.except for north-western parts of Scotland. Fleeting affairs. Any
:27:10. > :27:14.cloud across the south-east should tend to break up, and it will be a
:27:14. > :27:19.nice day and down the UK. There will be some cloud, a few showers
:27:19. > :27:23.running into northern parts of Scotland in particular, but broken
:27:23. > :27:26.cloud for Northern Ireland, northern England, too. Temperatures
:27:26. > :27:31.in the mid to high teens, breeze not too strong, feeling comfortable
:27:31. > :27:33.in the sunshine. Some of the best sunshine across southern counties,
:27:33. > :27:38.particularly towards the south coast where early cloud should
:27:38. > :27:41.clear away from the south-east, 21 in London, pretty comfortable.
:27:41. > :27:45.Looking further ahead, high pressure in the south keeps things
:27:45. > :27:51.fine and settled after a chilly start, but all changed further
