The police in Manchester demand an end to the feuding between two

:00:07.:00:11.

criminal families. As police mourn their colleagues killed in the

:00:12.:00:16.

grenade and gun attack, a call for the violence to stop. Enough is

:00:16.:00:22.

enough. This has to end. That's why we have been working with

:00:22.:00:28.

individuals. That's why we have had such an intensive policing

:00:28.:00:32.

operation in place. Another arrest of a man who

:00:32.:00:37.

glorified the main suspect, Dale Cregan, as a legend on Facebook.

:00:37.:00:41.

Also on tonight's programme: How Government money aimed at helping

:00:41.:00:45.

the poorest schoolchildren in England isn't being spent on them.

:00:45.:00:48.

An inquest into the poisoning of a former Russian spy will examine

:00:48.:00:52.

whether he was killed by the Russian Government.

:00:52.:00:55.

A baby born at Camp Bastion - the first time a British soldier has

:00:55.:01:01.

given birth in a war zone. Over �1 million worth of watches

:01:01.:01:05.

stolen from a department store in full view of customers.

:01:05.:01:13.

Coming up on the BBC News Channel. Grand National organisers announce

:01:13.:01:20.

changes to improve safety for jockeys and horses, but there's no

:01:20.:01:30.
:01:30.:01:36.

Good evening. Welcome to BBC News at Six. Police investigating the

:01:36.:01:39.

deaths of two of their colleagues have appealed to two criminal

:01:39.:01:44.

families in the community to end their feuding saying "enough is

:01:44.:01:51.

enough". It was revealed the police have had to issue a number of so-

:01:51.:01:56.

called Osman warnings in the area. Detectives have been given until

:01:56.:01:59.

tomorrow morning to continue questioning Dale Cregan about the

:01:59.:02:04.

murders of Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone. Danny Savage is at the scene.

:02:04.:02:07.

What detectives will not be drawn on at the moment is who exactly

:02:07.:02:11.

they have given those warnings about death or serious injury to.

:02:11.:02:14.

Here at the scene of the murders tonight, the area remains sealed

:02:14.:02:17.

off. You will probably notice the big pile of flowers that have been

:02:17.:02:20.

building up behind us here. It's been moved further down the street.

:02:20.:02:29.

This cordon is expected to be partially lifted this evening as

:02:29.:02:32.

more details have begun to emerge. The place where two unarmed

:02:32.:02:39.

officers were killed is not only a murder scene, but it is becoming an

:02:39.:02:41.

unofficial memorial. Today the neighbourhood police team paid

:02:41.:02:46.

their respects. These were friends, as well as colleagues. Fiona Bone's

:02:46.:02:50.

family have travelled here from the Isle of Man. There have been tens

:02:50.:02:54.

of thousands of messages of support for both her and Nicola Hughes, who

:02:54.:02:59.

were killed in a gun and grenade attack. One local woman, who

:02:59.:03:03.

doesn't want her identity revealed, heard what happened. I was going

:03:03.:03:10.

out to put some rubbish out and I heard gunshots. It was like boom,

:03:10.:03:17.

boom, boom, BOOM - one big one, it was like a grenade. Then I heard a

:03:17.:03:23.

woman cry out screaming. It was pain. Someone had been hurt bad. I

:03:23.:03:28.

can still hear the screaming now. Police now say what happened here

:03:28.:03:34.

was possibly the result of an ongoing interfamily feud and have

:03:34.:03:39.

called for it to stop. Enough is enough. This has to end. We were

:03:39.:03:43.

investigating a feud between two criminal families. We continue to

:03:43.:03:47.

do that. The link between that and Tuesday's events is still part of

:03:47.:03:51.

an active investigation. Dale Cregan, the man under arrest in

:03:51.:03:55.

connection with Tuesday's double murder, may have been part of that

:03:55.:03:58.

feud. He's also being questioned about the murders of father and son

:03:58.:04:03.

David and Mark Short. They were killed in separate incidents

:04:03.:04:07.

earlier this year. The Shorts are understood to be one of the

:04:07.:04:11.

families today's police statement was aimed at. Quite how two

:04:11.:04:15.

officers then ended up being targeted is still unclear. But

:04:15.:04:19.

detectives say certain individuals may still be at risk from a batch

:04:19.:04:27.

of hand grenades used here and in previous incidents. Those deemed at

:04:27.:04:34.

being at risk have been given a so- called Osman warning. Police have

:04:34.:04:36.

very credible intelligence that someone's life is in danger, not

:04:36.:04:41.

only in danger but someone has the ability to carry out that threat

:04:42.:04:46.

and their life is in imminent danger. A 22-year-old man has been

:04:46.:04:53.

arrested after a Facebook site was set up describing Dale Cregan as "a

:04:53.:04:58.

legend". To tastelessly add derogatory comments to think they

:04:58.:05:02.

are poking fun at such a tragic situation will always cause a great

:05:02.:05:06.

deal of emotion. This afternoon, the Chief Constable of Greater

:05:06.:05:09.

Manchester police came to the murder scene for the first time to

:05:09.:05:14.

lay his own tribute. Here, the painstaking work goes on as

:05:14.:05:18.

elsewhere detectives have been given more time to question Dale

:05:18.:05:22.

Cregan. We have also had more details about

:05:22.:05:24.

the 28-year-old man arrested yesterday on suspicion of

:05:24.:05:32.

conspiracy to commit murder. His name is Steven Garvey. The BBC

:05:32.:05:35.

understands his arrest concerns the phone call to report a burglary,

:05:35.:05:38.

the phone call that lured the two police officers here prior to the

:05:38.:05:42.

shooting. That is one of the many avenues this investigation is

:05:42.:05:48.

following at the moment. Money intended to improve the

:05:48.:05:52.

education of students from poor families in England isn't being

:05:52.:05:58.

spent properly according to the schools watchdog, Ofsted. Some of

:05:58.:06:03.

the �1.25 billion "pupil premium" is being used to plug holes in

:06:03.:06:12.

school budgets instead of being targeted at the most needy.

:06:12.:06:19.

A big divide - the pupil premium was brought in to bridge that gap.

:06:19.:06:24.

But the regulator says in too many schools it's failing to make a

:06:24.:06:30.

difference. Schools are not using the pupil premium money effective

:06:30.:06:35.

li. 50% of schools surveyed said -- effectively. 50% of schools

:06:35.:06:38.

surveyed said it's made no difference to the way they operate.

:06:38.:06:43.

That is fine if they demonstrate those poor children are catching up

:06:43.:06:50.

with their prosperous counterparts. The pupil premium is is a flagship

:06:50.:06:54.

Government policy with a big budget. Sit worth �600 per pupil in England

:06:54.:06:59.

this -- it is worth �600 per pupil in England this year. It is given

:07:00.:07:03.

to schools for any child eligible to free school meals in the past

:07:03.:07:11.

six years. A smaller sum is given to those whose parents serve in the

:07:11.:07:17.

Armed Forces. The New North Academy has been given the pupil premium

:07:17.:07:21.

for two-thirds of its children. The head here has used the money to

:07:21.:07:26.

employ extra staff and to reduce class sizes for ten-year-olds.

:07:26.:07:31.

class is a very small class. We've got two small classes of 17 in Year

:07:31.:07:35.

5 because we are seeing that as a pivotal year in moving the children

:07:35.:07:40.

forward to Year 6. This is a pilot and we are using the pupil premium

:07:40.:07:46.

to explore that pilot. Schools can use the pupil premium as they wish,

:07:46.:07:49.

meaning it can be absorbed into their budget. One teaching union

:07:49.:07:54.

said other cuts to funding meant it wasn't really extra money. Schools

:07:54.:07:58.

are doing their very best to maintain provision that they had

:07:58.:08:03.

previously. The fact is, they have had cuts to their base budget. So

:08:03.:08:07.

the pupil premium is not really new money, it's money that is

:08:07.:08:11.

supporting existing school budgets. Ministers need the pupil premium to

:08:12.:08:16.

be a winner. They say it is extra funding and shows they are serious

:08:16.:08:20.

about social mobility. Ofsted wants to see results. They will criticise

:08:20.:08:23.

schools during inspections if they can't show any and say the money

:08:23.:08:27.

may have to be ringfenced so it is more targeted at those who really

:08:27.:08:32.

need it. An inquest into the death of the

:08:32.:08:35.

former Russian spy, Alexander Litvinenko, will examine claims

:08:35.:08:39.

that the Russian Government were involved. Mr Litvinenko, who was a

:08:39.:08:45.

British citizen, died after being poisoned by the radioactive

:08:45.:08:49.

substance polonium six years. Any Russian involvement would amount to

:08:49.:08:57.

an act of state-sponsored nuclear terrorism on the streets of London.

:08:57.:09:03.

Alexander Litvinenko met a slow, painful death in a London hospital,

:09:03.:09:06.

poisoned by radiation. He was a fierce critic of the Kremlin, but

:09:06.:09:11.

was it behind his killing? Today, a lawyer for his widow, said it was

:09:11.:09:14.

vital to establish whether the killing had been a targeted

:09:14.:09:18.

assassination by agents of a foreign state. If it was, he said

:09:18.:09:22.

it would be an act of state- sponsored nuclear terrorism on the

:09:22.:09:27.

streets of London. Do you believe the Russian state was behind your

:09:27.:09:35.

husband's murder? Till now, I believe it. Again, what I say,

:09:35.:09:42.

polonium was used, a high level of radioactive material, what you

:09:42.:09:47.

can't buy, you can't find anywhere because it is all under state-

:09:47.:09:51.

control. In 2006, police followed a radioactive trail. They found

:09:51.:09:59.

traces of polonium at a bar in Piccadilly, in offices in Mayfair

:09:59.:10:03.

and also at the Millennium Hotel in Grosvenor Square. It was here, at

:10:03.:10:07.

the Pine Bar of the Millennium Hotel that Alexander Litvinenko

:10:07.:10:12.

drank tea with some Russian visitors. That's the moment police

:10:12.:10:16.

believe the radioactive poison was administered. They followed its

:10:16.:10:20.

trial all the way back to Moscow. The Crown Prosecution Service says

:10:20.:10:25.

it has enough evidence to charge two men - one this former security

:10:25.:10:30.

officer - Andrei Lugovoi, now a Russian MP. Another confirmed today

:10:30.:10:33.

as Dmitry Kovtun. Both deny involvement and remain in Russia.

:10:33.:10:38.

Britain and Russia's leaders have been trying to patch up relations,

:10:38.:10:43.

including at the Olympic judo. It will Litvinenko's murder led to a

:10:43.:10:49.

major row, diplomats expelled. An inquest may aggravate relations

:10:49.:10:55.

further and may not get all the answers. Any sort of definitive

:10:55.:10:58.

answer will be extremely difficult to ascertain without Russian

:10:58.:11:01.

Government co-operation. That is unlikely to be forthcoming.

:11:01.:11:06.

Coroner indicated he would look at Russia's role. Material on possible

:11:06.:11:09.

links between Mr Litvinenko and British intelligence may not be

:11:10.:11:15.

released. The full inquest begins in the new year.

:11:15.:11:19.

A baby has been born at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. It's

:11:19.:11:22.

believed to be the first time a British soldier has given birth in

:11:22.:11:26.

a combat zone. The mother, a gunner in the Royal Artillery, didn't

:11:26.:11:29.

realise she was pregnant. The Ministry of Defence says it does

:11:29.:11:33.

not allow pregnant women to serve on the frontline.

:11:34.:11:37.

In a place more used to dealing with death than with new life, it

:11:38.:11:42.

was here at the field hospital at Camp Bastion that the baby was born.

:11:42.:11:47.

The soldier, who is originally from Fiji, was close to the end of her

:11:47.:11:50.

six-month tour. She's in the Royal Artillery and had been deployed

:11:50.:11:57.

with the 12th Mechanised Brigade. She went to medics complaining of

:11:57.:12:00.

stomach pains. It was only then that she learnt she was pregnant.

:12:00.:12:04.

On Tuesday the baby was born five weeks premature. The soldier

:12:04.:12:08.

conceived her child before being sent to Afghanistan. The MoD says

:12:08.:12:11.

mother and child are in stable condition and are receiving the

:12:11.:12:16.

best possible care. The statement goes on to say, "It is not military

:12:16.:12:20.

policy to allow servicewomen to deploy on operation if they are

:12:20.:12:24.

pregnant. In this instance, the MoD was unaware of the pregnancy." This

:12:24.:12:28.

is the first time a British soldier is known to have given birth on the

:12:28.:12:31.

frontline. Although more than 170 servicewomen have been sent home

:12:31.:12:35.

from Iraq and Afghanistan after discovering they were pregnant.

:12:35.:12:40.

Doctors say there are some women who don't realise they are pregnant.

:12:40.:12:44.

I remember when I was first qualified and I looked after a

:12:44.:12:48.

young 16-year-old girl who had actually presented to hospital, she

:12:48.:12:53.

had been sent to do her GCSE exams in the morning and she came along

:12:53.:12:57.

at 11.00pm and had her baby and didn't realise she was pregnant.

:12:57.:13:02.

This unusual case has fuelled debate over whether more medical

:13:02.:13:06.

checks are needed before women are deployed to the frontline.

:13:06.:13:12.

soldier in question was extremely lucky that she was actually at Camp

:13:12.:13:16.

Bastion when she gave birth. There, there is a properly-established

:13:16.:13:21.

medical facility which could look after her properly. If she had been

:13:21.:13:25.

sent out on patrol, it may well have been a different story indeed

:13:25.:13:29.

and the outcome might have not been what it is. A team of medics is on

:13:29.:13:33.

its way to Camp Bastion to help care for the soldier and her baby

:13:33.:13:39.

on their RAF flight home. BSkyB will be allowed to continue

:13:40.:13:44.

to hold its broadcasting licences despite its former chairman being

:13:44.:13:48.

strongly criticised in the report into the phone hacking affair by

:13:48.:13:58.
:13:58.:13:59.

the media regulator, Ofcom. It says his failure to investigate the

:13:59.:14:02.

allegations is "difficult to comprehend and ill-judged".

:14:02.:14:05.

A court has been told that the man whose death sparked the riots

:14:05.:14:08.

across England last year had pulled a handgun from his waistband

:14:08.:14:14.

moments before he was shot dead by police. The claim about Mark Duggan

:14:14.:14:22.

came during evidence given by a police firearms officer. No gun was

:14:22.:14:29.

found on his body. Matt Prodger was in court. What else was said today?

:14:29.:14:33.

Well, this officer gave evidence from behind a screen to protect his

:14:33.:14:40.

anonymity. He said that he was within five metres of the taxi

:14:40.:14:46.

containing Mark Duggan. He saw Mr Duggan inside, he said with his

:14:46.:14:51.

hand underneath his jacket. He said that arm came out to reveal a gun.

:14:51.:14:55.

Two shots were fired. Mark Duggan clutched his chest before falling

:14:55.:14:59.

to his knees. This officer said that he was then the first person

:14:59.:15:03.

to search Mark Duggan, but he found no sign of the gun either on his

:15:03.:15:08.

body or underneath his body. The prosecution alleges that a gun was

:15:08.:15:11.

later found some ten feet away on the other side of railings. This

:15:12.:15:16.

officer was also asked why he had made no mention of the claim that

:15:16.:15:20.

Mark Duggan was holding a gun when he provided a statement a few hours

:15:20.:15:27.

later to which he replied, "I don't know." The officer denies having

:15:27.:15:31.

supplied the gun to Mark Duggan. An inquest will not be held until next

:15:31.:15:41.
:15:41.:15:46.

Our top story tonight: Police investigating the deaths of two of

:15:46.:15:49.

their colleagues in Greater Manchester have appealed to two

:15:49.:15:56.

criminal families in the area to end their feuding. Could the

:15:57.:16:02.

Premier League hold the key to improving's health. Surprising bad

:16:02.:16:07.

figures from the eurozone, as the Euro-crisis continues. We hear how

:16:07.:16:10.

more UK employers will be forced to enrol their workers in a pension

:16:10.:16:20.
:16:20.:16:23.

The Government has defended its controversial reform to the welfare

:16:23.:16:28.

system, which will see multiple benefits rolled into one, known as

:16:28.:16:30.

the Universal Credit. Iain Duncan Smith said he would not be deterred

:16:30.:16:34.

by criticism that his reforms are unachievable or that they are a

:16:34.:16:40.

cover for cuts. He was speaking to our political editor Nick Robinson.

:16:40.:16:44.

Imagine a change affecting 19 million people. A change which will

:16:44.:16:49.

see the end of six different benefits. A change to a new online

:16:49.:16:54.

system, delivering just one - Universal Credit. Starting for some

:16:54.:17:00.

as early as next year. That is exactly what the welfare secretary,

:17:00.:17:05.

Iain Duncan Smith, spends his time doing. Tax credits, jobseeker's

:17:05.:17:10.

allowance. If they are on income support and a lone parent - so

:17:10.:17:15.

pages... The plan is for all those forms to go and be replaced by this

:17:15.:17:20.

- a screen designed to look like a monthly pay slip. It is a change

:17:20.:17:24.

because it changes the nature of how people go from being out of

:17:24.:17:30.

work to back in work. It makes it simpler, which is a huge thing. It

:17:30.:17:33.

makes it easier and it rewards those who make the right decision

:17:33.:17:38.

to go back to work. Those who work with people who depend on benefits

:17:38.:17:41.

have heard the sales pitch, but they are growing worried about what

:17:41.:17:46.

it will mean for the people who need their help. There will be a

:17:46.:17:50.

lot at a loss, who have nevered used a computer in their life.

:17:50.:17:55.

fear is just one held by organisations like the Citizens

:17:56.:17:59.

Advice Bureau. Politicians often talk about what they are doing

:17:59.:18:01.

being the biggest change since the start of the welfare state. This

:18:01.:18:10.

time it is. For the 2,000 -- 2,000 volunteers we are feeling: Iain

:18:10.:18:14.

Duncan Smith turned down a new job in the Cabinet reshuffle in part

:18:14.:18:19.

because he wanted to prove the doubters wrong, including those who

:18:19.:18:22.

mutter about him inside Government. I think they say Iain Duncan Smith

:18:22.:18:27.

- he's a dreamer. I don't sleep enough to dream, to be frank with

:18:27.:18:32.

you. It is a job that takes me so many hours. It is not about

:18:32.:18:36.

dreaming - this is about caring. Honestly, I know people think

:18:36.:18:42.

caring is about saying "Have some more money." Real changing is

:18:42.:18:47.

saying "I want to change your life with you, so you take control to be

:18:47.:18:53.

a better person." Changing lives by stopping the system treating

:18:53.:18:59.

claimants like children. So in the future those unemployed will get

:18:59.:19:04.

their benefits once a month. This is a project running late. It is

:19:05.:19:07.

�100 million over budget. There are organisations all over the country

:19:07.:19:11.

that are screaming out for decisions that need to be made if

:19:11.:19:17.

this is to land on time. When you hear the criticisms, the doubters -

:19:17.:19:22.

are you demoralised? I am never demoralised these days. I have been

:19:22.:19:26.

leader of the Conservative Party - it doesn't get worse than that.

:19:26.:19:29.

Government insist their welfare revolution is on time, on budget

:19:29.:19:34.

and will be fair. If they are wrong, millions will notice, even though,

:19:34.:19:42.

for now, very few have even heard the words - Universal Credit.

:19:42.:19:45.

The bodies of three British servicemen killed in Afghanistan in

:19:45.:19:48.

the last week have been brought back to Britain. Families, friends

:19:48.:19:53.

and members of the public paid respects in Carterton in

:19:54.:19:59.

Oxfordshire as the cortege went by. Those who died were Lance Corporal

:19:59.:20:02.

Duane Groom from the Queen's Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier

:20:02.:20:05.

Guards. Sergeant Gareth Thursby and Private Thomas Wroe from 3rd

:20:05.:20:09.

Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment. Watches worth more than �1 million

:20:09.:20:13.

have been stolen from a department store in Manchester City centre in

:20:13.:20:18.

full view of customers. Three men used an axe and crowbar to smash

:20:18.:20:23.

display cabinets. The men were in the store for less than two minutes

:20:23.:20:29.

before making off with the watches. As masked men stormed into

:20:29.:20:33.

Selfridges yesterday they kpwhited an audacious daylight robbery,

:20:33.:20:38.

smashing cases with crowbars. In less than two minutes more than 100

:20:38.:20:45.

watches were stuffed into a holdall. More than �1 million was gone. The

:20:45.:20:50.

showroom at Selfridges offered the thieves rich pickings. Now police

:20:50.:20:58.

say the jewellery taken is likely to be sold off in less luxurious

:20:58.:21:02.

surroundings. We don't encourage anyone who is offered a high-value

then make the necessary enquiries to see if these are the watches

swept out of the shop to a waiting getaway car. It was later found

abandoned. Today, it was business as usual at the store, apart from

the empty cases. The watch department here is closed today.

The staff inside are clearing up and assessing the damage. Some of

thaw in the pay freeze, it's not a particularly warming one. It will

:22:19.:22:25.

be set at 1% from next year, broadly in line with the Chancellor,

:22:25.:22:27.

George Osborne's plans for the public sector's workers under his

control as well. Here in Scotland those on the higher salaries will

:22:32.:22:36.

get no rise at all. Those on the lowest will get a little extra.

:22:36.:22:41.

John Swinney is trying here to boost economic growth. That is what

:22:41.:22:45.

it's about, to boost confidence. Other measures include bringing

forward a programme of building more schools and also construction

Three years ago, the Premier League set out to improve men's health.

:25:00.:25:04.

The project involved attracting 10,000 men from across England to

:25:04.:25:08.

work on their health and fitness. Initially they found 80% of men

:25:09.:25:13.

were leading risky lifestyles. Today's report shows three years

:25:13.:25:17.

later, at least one-quarter of them have improved their fitness, diet

:25:17.:25:24.

and weight. Wfrpblgts the LFC badge we can attract men to -- With the

much of the afternoon. I think one or two heavy showers from Oxford
