:01:54. > :01:58.has issued a stern warning to anyone in Britain involved in
:01:58. > :02:04.passing off horsemeat as beef, saying they will face the full
:02:04. > :02:07.force of the law. Last night, the Food Standards Agency raided a

:03:25. > :03:30.there was no comment. Shoppers at a local farmer's market had varying
:03:30. > :03:35.opinions about ready meals. I do not trust it now to be honest. You
:03:35. > :03:39.do not know what you are getting in the package. There is no health
:03:39. > :03:45.hazard with horsemeat. It should not be in there, the French eat it
:03:45. > :03:50.all the time. The FSA claims that the West Yorkshire house supplied
:03:50. > :03:54.carcasses that went to Farmbox Meats near Aberystwyth. It then
:03:54. > :04:00.alleges some of the meat was made into kebabs and burgers. But the

:04:21. > :04:26.of consumers. The Environment Secretary was in Brussels and he
:04:26. > :04:30.hinted they may yet be raids on other sites. We saw vigorous action
:04:30. > :04:35.taken yesterday and there may be more procedures coming forward, but
:04:35. > :04:38.I do not want to prejudice those investigations in public.

:05:07. > :05:11.endemic across the entire European Union. But when they sit down
:05:11. > :05:16.tonight it might be tense because there has been a lot of the blame
:05:16. > :05:21.shifting. Britain blaming France, France blaming the Romanians,
:05:21. > :05:25.Britain are blaming a convoluted supply chain. They are all in the
:05:25. > :05:32.dock until they restore public confidence. Tonight Owen Paterson
:05:33. > :05:37.has come up with a wish-list. He wants DNA testing and he was a

:05:45. > :05:49.point the finger elsewhere. Apologies for the quality of the

:05:53. > :05:57.economy according to the Governor of the Bank of England, but Sir
:05:57. > :06:01.Mervyn King has warned it will be weak and inflation will remain
:06:01. > :06:06.stubbornly high for the next two years.
:06:06. > :06:10.If the Bank of England was celebrating a birthday today, the

:06:16. > :06:21.presented all 81 of the quarterly economic reports since 1993 and
:06:21. > :06:25.today he tried to offer some good news. The UK economy is set for a
:06:25. > :06:31.recovery. That is not to say that the road ahead will be smooth. This
:06:31. > :06:35.has not been a normal recession and it will not be a normal recovery.
:06:35. > :06:40.The new forecast show the economy growing this year, though not quite
:06:40. > :06:45.as fast as they were hoping in November. Once again, the forecast
:06:46. > :06:51.for inflation is quite a lot higher. Inflation is at 2.7% now, well
:06:51. > :06:54.above target for the best part of seven years. In November, the best
:06:55. > :07:01.guess was that it would fall back to two present by the beginning of
:07:01. > :07:05.next year. It now thinks it will rise again and be around 3% in one
:07:05. > :07:11.year's time. There are different things putting up inflation, but
:07:11. > :07:16.the Governor said quite a few, like the rise in tuition fees, were a
:07:16. > :07:20.result of Government policies. Finance and education and green
:07:20. > :07:24.policies have pushed up prices and that makes our job in the short run
:07:24. > :07:30.more difficult. Do you think that is something they should have borne
:07:30. > :07:33.in mind? I hope they did, but it is up to them to decide it. We will
:07:33. > :07:38.have to deal with the consequences and we will have to look at the
:07:38. > :07:44.price increases. Looking through higher inflation means ignoring it.
:07:44. > :07:47.Anyone hoping for an early rise in interest rates will be disappointed.
:07:47. > :07:52.Long-term Sir Mervyn King said the Government should be doing all it
:07:52. > :07:56.could to booze Britain's potential, but it did not see much scope for a
:07:56. > :08:00.short-term boost. There is some frustration at the Bank of England.
:08:00. > :08:05.In many ways they have thrown a kitchen sink at this economy in
:08:05. > :08:09.terms of the Monetary response, yet the economy has been flat for four
:08:09. > :08:14.years. Something other than interest rate cuts or printing more
:08:14. > :08:18.money needs to be done to spur on a recovery. The bank will reach
:08:18. > :08:22.another milestone in July when Mark Carney becomes governor. He may
:08:22. > :08:27.want to strike a different tone, but if these new forecasts are
:08:27. > :08:30.right, his first order of business will be a rather familiar,

:08:59. > :09:04.of killing six of his children in a house fire has told a court how she

:09:08. > :09:12.Mick Philpott and his wife Mairead set fire to the house to set up the
:09:12. > :09:17.mistress. She had recently moved out of the house with her five

:09:21. > :09:27.appalling of circumstances. Acrid smoke engulfed their bedrooms as
:09:27. > :09:31.they slept. The prosecution claimed their parents were responsible and
:09:31. > :09:35.say the catalyst for the tragedy was the ending of a complicated
:09:35. > :09:40.domestic arrangement at their home. At the centre of that arrangement
:09:40. > :09:44.was Mick Philpott himself. He and Mairead lived in the Derby council
:09:45. > :09:51.house with their six children. But he also moved his mistress, Lisa

:09:56. > :10:01.the court that two women shared Mick Philpott. She said they would
:10:01. > :10:04.take it in turns. But when she tired of his domineering nature and
:10:04. > :10:09.left, he would not accept it and the battle for custody of her
:10:09. > :10:14.children followed. The court has been told the fire was a botched
:10:14. > :10:18.plan intended to frame her. But under cross-examination at Lisa was
:10:18. > :10:23.admitted she had lied on a sworn affidavit before the custody

:11:58. > :12:03.his father who is also seriously ill, having brought back the virus

:12:27. > :12:33.organs like the kidneys. But fortunately it does not pass easily
:12:33. > :12:38.between humans. We consider the risk to the UK population, whether
:12:38. > :12:43.in the UK or abroad, it remains very low indeed. Of course it is a
:12:43. > :12:48.concern there is an infection which has caused severe illness and we
:12:48. > :12:53.still know very little about it and where it has come from, but
:12:53. > :12:57.nevertheless the number of cases worldwide remains very low. This is
:12:57. > :13:02.as close as I can get to the coronavirus which is being analysed

:13:07. > :13:13.unwittingly come into contact with the virus in the 17 days since the
:13:14. > :13:18.man flew back in from Saudi Arabia? Health officials have traced up to
:13:18. > :13:24.100 contacts, including people he was sitting near him on the plane
:13:24. > :13:28.and no-one, apart from his son, has fallen seriously ill. It is also

:21:28. > :21:33.divide across England? Councillors in places like Durham argue a
:21:33. > :21:37.scheme to encourage more new homes is actually diverting hundreds of
:21:37. > :21:42.millions of pounds from deprived areas, often in northern England,
:21:42. > :21:46.to rich areas mostly in the South. The new homes bonus is funded from

:21:49. > :21:53.Government. Every council contributes the same proportion
:21:53. > :21:57.from their grant. The cash is then redistributed to councils according
:21:57. > :22:01.to the number of houses built in their area. The new homes bonus
:22:01. > :22:05.means poorer, northern councils, pay more money in, because their
