:05:49. > :05:53.comments reflect concern among Lib Dem delegates over the direction in

:05:58. > :06:02.like our weather, never good for very long with strong wind from

:06:08. > :06:14.conference season - is it time to change course? That is what the
:06:14. > :06:18.Liberal Democrats debated today. Plan A is not working. We have the
:06:18. > :06:23.power, it we have the courage, to stand up and argue for a better
:06:23. > :06:27.approach. No longer can deficit reduction by means of cuts in
:06:27. > :06:32.public spending be the top priority. For government has to choose
:06:32. > :06:37.between a growth strategy that worked and George Osborne.

:06:51. > :06:56.attacked from borrowing too much and borrowing too little at the
:06:56. > :07:00.same time. He said he would not apologise for the austerity, the
:07:00. > :07:07.cuts needed to tackle the deficit, but then he gave a stark warning
:07:07. > :07:13.about the dangers that lie ahead. The country must not get stuck in a
:07:13. > :07:19.downward escalator, where slow or no growth means bigger deficits
:07:19. > :07:26.leading to more cuts and even slower growth. That is the way to
:07:26. > :07:30.economic disaster and political oblivion. That warning that slow-
:07:30. > :07:36.growth could lead to spending cuts leading to slower growth sounded an
:07:36. > :07:40.awful lot like what Labour says. He says the economy needs to be
:07:40. > :07:44.stimulated but there is a difference - Vince Cable argues the
:07:44. > :07:47.route to that is not more government borrowing. Today Vince
:07:48. > :07:53.Cable and Nick Clegg visited an engineering firm to highlight what
:07:53. > :08:00.they would do for British businesses. What businesses need,
:08:00. > :08:04.they insist, is not more government spending but bank loans. If we need

:08:10. > :08:14.to expand lending rapidly to the manufacturers, the exporters, the
:08:14. > :08:18.high growth companies that power our economy, and I can announce to
:08:19. > :08:23.you today that we will have one. new British business bank will be
:08:23. > :08:27.set up with a billion pounds of taxpayers' money and private
:08:27. > :08:33.investment. It willing to help small and medium-sized firms get
:08:33. > :08:37.the loans they need to expand. It will buy existing loans made by its
:08:37. > :08:41.other banks with the aim of making it less risky for them to make
:08:41. > :08:46.fresh loans. This is one of the firms in Brighton that once that
:08:46. > :08:53.money. The chief executives say the banks want him to risk his own
:08:53. > :08:58.house before they will give him the money they need. Often banks will
:08:58. > :09:04.ask the personal director to put their own money on a line. Wells
:09:04. > :09:10.companies wait for the new British business bank, and it could take 18
:09:10. > :09:13.months to set up, the economic weather looks very grim indeed.
:09:13. > :09:21.The Conservative party chief whip has made his first public apology
:09:21. > :09:28.for abusing a Downing Street police officer. It is claimed he swore and
:09:28. > :09:31.called the police officer or a pleb. Andrew Mitchell said he hadn't
:09:31. > :09:34.shown the officer the respect he deserved, but denied ever having
:09:34. > :09:37.used the word pleb in his outburst last week. That's angered the
:09:37. > :09:39.Police Federation which wants an inquiry into the affair, saying Mr
:09:39. > :09:41.Mitchell was questioning the integrity of the police. Our
:09:41. > :09:43.political correspondent Carole Walker reports. No sign of the
:09:43. > :09:46.bicycle he wheeled into the altercation with police, but Andrew
:09:46. > :09:51.Mitchell did decide to confront the media and give his side of the
:09:51. > :09:56.story. It had been the end of a long and frustrating day, not that
:09:56. > :10:00.that is any excuse for what happened. I didn't show the police
:10:00. > :10:05.the amount of respect I should have done. They do an incredibly
:10:05. > :10:10.difficult job. I have apologised to the police and the police officer
:10:10. > :10:14.involved on the gate, and he has accepted my apology. No estimate
:10:14. > :10:19.shall have tried to cycle out through the main vehicle gate of
:10:19. > :10:23.Downing Street last Wednesday night but the police told him to dismount
:10:24. > :10:29.and use a smaller gate alongside it. For some says they have seen the
:10:29. > :10:34.police account of the outburst that followed and it says he did call
:10:34. > :10:39.the police for a pleb. Sources say Mr Mitchell is adamant he did not
:10:39. > :10:43.use the word pleb, though today he did not quite say that. I am very
:10:43. > :10:48.clear about what I said, and I want to make it clear that I did not use
:10:48. > :10:52.the words that have been attributed to me. Police representatives have
:10:52. > :10:56.reacted angrily to the suggestion their officers were not telling the
:10:56. > :11:03.truth. Used challenging the integrity of the offices by denying
:11:03. > :11:07.he has said what has been reported. I believe the officers, and if an
:11:07. > :11:11.inquiry proves he was lying he should be sacked. There are
:11:11. > :11:14.conflicting accounts of what happened here. The Prime Minister's
:11:14. > :11:18.spokesman said he accept the statement from his chief whip
:11:18. > :11:23.Andrew Mitchell, and believes he did the right thing in apologising,
:11:23. > :11:27.but does that suggest he doubts the word of the police? I understand Mr
:11:27. > :11:31.Mitchell believes it is down to different recollections of the
:11:31. > :11:36.incident, but the suggestion he used the word pleb is particularly
:11:36. > :11:41.toxic because it fuels accusations the Tories are arrogant and out of
:11:41. > :11:47.torch. I have been told however that jokes about social class are
:11:47. > :11:52.not good for the unity of the coalition, but as a mea pleb I
:11:52. > :11:59.couldn't resist it. More seriously, Lib Dem ministers do not believe
:11:59. > :12:03.this is the end of the round. Explaining to the media what was
:12:03. > :12:12.not said is not the same as saying what was said. Andrew Mitchell is
:12:12. > :12:17.still in his job, but Labour are keeping up the pressure for an
:12:17. > :12:23.inquiry. Let's speak to our political editor in Brighton. On
:12:23. > :12:26.that last point, I gather you have some new developments on this?
:12:26. > :12:32.Labour were pushing for an investigation, the Lib Dems were
:12:32. > :12:34.saying there were loose ends that needed tying up. This letter is an
:12:34. > :12:41.attempt by the government to finally end those calls and answer
:12:41. > :12:48.the queries. It is a letter from the civil servant in the country
:12:48. > :12:53.Jeremy Heywood, who points out that the number 10 head of security and
:12:53. > :12:58.the private principal secretary of the Prime Minister spoke about what
:12:58. > :13:02.happened. He said there clearly remains a genuine difference of
:13:02. > :13:09.view about what words were actually used, but here is the critical
:13:09. > :13:14.point. He says he has been talking to the head of the Metropolitan
:13:14. > :13:18.Police, and they have concluded "in the light of the apology given, and
:13:18. > :13:23.also the fact that the officer concerned has accepted the apology
:13:23. > :13:32.and doesn't wish to pursue the matter further, the Metropolitan
:13:32. > :13:36.Police Commissioner reiterated no further action will be taken." They
:13:36. > :13:39.seem no interest in a further investigation. The apology failed
:13:39. > :13:47.to end the calls for more information about who said what and
:13:47. > :13:52.when, but this letter from the Cabinet Secretary is designed to
:13:52. > :14:01.still them. There is more information and a

:18:33. > :18:37.truth is, there are subtle differences between the charge in
:18:37. > :18:42.the Magistrates' Court and the charge that he faces in front of
:18:42. > :18:46.the FA disciplinary commission. Fiercely patriotic, John Terry was
:18:46. > :18:50.one of his country's greatest ever central defenders, never afraid to
:18:50. > :18:55.put his body on the line. His career was defined by commitment
:18:55. > :18:58.and controversy. Look at John Terry! He first represented his
:18:58. > :19:05.country in 2003, replacing David Beckham as captain three years
:19:05. > :19:10.later. I realise that the responsibility is even higher, on

:19:26. > :19:31.races and charges. He continued to be selected by Roy Hodgson but last
:19:31. > :19:35.night finally turned his back on England. John Terry was fantastic
:19:35. > :19:39.to me when I first got into the game. He looked after me and he has
:19:39. > :19:46.been very professional. I have to wish him good luck and I have to
:19:46. > :19:51.respect his decision. He missed out Patrice Evra. Luis Suarez was

:22:41. > :22:48.of setting up a website which was involved with terrorism as well.
:22:48. > :22:54.Both these men have protested their innocence and both have tried to
:22:54. > :22:57.fight this battle of extradition, but the European Court will not
:22:57. > :23:03.continue this case, and extradition could proceed within the next few
:23:03. > :23:09.weeks. Summer appears to have come to an abrupt end as much of the UK
:23:09. > :23:12.braces itself for one month of rain in the next 24 hours. Winds of up
:23:12. > :23:15.to 60mph are expected to hit the North of England and parts of
:23:15. > :23:19.Scotland while other areas could see three inches of rain. In a
:23:19. > :23:23.moment, we will be speaking to Danny Savage, who was in West
:23:23. > :23:28.Yorkshire the first, Jon Kay reports on the flooding and
:23:28. > :23:38.disruption in the West. Somerset woke up to find that
:23:38. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:43.summer was over. Autumn at most definitely arrived. In this village
:23:43. > :23:49.it had rained all day yesterday and then all night long. Taking many
:23:49. > :23:52.residents by surprise. People here say they cannot believe how quickly
:23:52. > :23:59.a flooded. There is a river just down there and it burst its banks
:23:59. > :24:07.in the early hours. Within minutes, Wall Street was just covered in
:24:07. > :24:17.water. -- the whole street. The tense ands house will need weeks of
:24:17. > :24:17.
:24:17. > :24:21.repair. Inside and out. It is like a lake at the moment. A lot of
:24:21. > :24:28.money has been spent on flood defences here, but local people say
:24:28. > :24:31.it is the worst they have seen in 25 years. Next door, the dishwasher
:24:31. > :24:37.is full of river water and they have not dared to check the family
:24:37. > :24:45.photos. It is so horrifying you cannot take it in. You can't even
:24:45. > :24:49.be bothered crying, it is so awful. The local fire brigade received 200
:24:49. > :24:56.call-outs to flooded homes and block roads. Many rail services
:24:56. > :25:00.were also badly affected. Chaos, chaos, absolute chaos. It is not
:25:00. > :25:05.just the recent rainfall that has caused these problems, but the fact
:25:05. > :25:09.that the ground is still wet from our terrible summer. It came up to
:25:09. > :25:15.about a foot and a half, but I understand there is more on the way,
:25:15. > :25:19.so we are bracing ourselves. In the West Country, water levels are now
:25:19. > :25:26.dropping, but there is more wild weather to come, and in some parts
:25:26. > :25:30.of Britain, it is only just beginning.
:25:30. > :25:39.One of the areas with an increased risk of flooding is the North of
:25:39. > :25:42.England. What are the critic Harold -- the particular concerns where
:25:42. > :25:48.you are, Danny? The concern is that the weather front is going to grind
:25:48. > :25:53.to a halt. Some forecasters say that we could see 10 centimetres of
:25:53. > :25:58.rain falling in parts of the Pennines. The river behind me is
:25:58. > :26:02.already in flood and the water is thundering through. It is about 80
:26:02. > :26:07.metres wide. At the bridge, there are still spare capacity and it is
:26:07. > :26:14.going to need that capacity because there is so much rain expected and
:26:14. > :26:16.lots of rail disruption as well. have just the man to give us an
:26:16. > :26:23.have just the man to give us an update.
:26:23. > :26:27.As Danny was saying, it is going to get worse before it gets better.
:26:27. > :26:31.The coldest September day on record in some parts of Northern Ireland.
:26:31. > :26:35.The amber warnings have certainly been justified. There is a lot of
:26:35. > :26:38.disruption as we have heard. That rain is gradually pushing north. We
:26:38. > :26:42.have seen the worst of it in the south but increasingly it is
:26:42. > :26:51.northern parts of the UK that are in the firing line. Not just any
:26:51. > :26:58.rain but strong winds, up to 60 or 70mph. 80 mm potential across
:26:58. > :27:04.northern England. Further west, it is pretty wet across Northern
:27:04. > :27:10.Ireland and Spain chilly. The lowest eight degrees. Why is it so
:27:10. > :27:14.that? Because we have this big area of low pressure, unusually deep,
:27:14. > :27:19.around the centre. In the centre, it does not move but at the flank
:27:19. > :27:24.is where we get the strongest wind. Strong to care for us wins in
:27:24. > :27:29.northern Scotland and Northern Ireland. -- strong to gale-force.
:27:29. > :27:33.Further south and further east, mild and bright. 15 or 16 degrees,
:27:33. > :27:36.but you'll be lucky to get to double figures if you are sitting
:27:36. > :27:39.under that band of rain. By Wednesday, things improving, but
:27:39. > :27:43.rather windy in the West. Potentially some heavy rain in
:27:43. > :27:53.southern areas but elsewhere, sunny intervals and scattered showers. In
:27:53. > :27:56.the short term, keep the line for the flood warning handy. For the
