:01:36. > :01:40.Good evening and welcome to the BBC's news at six. Hopes that the
:01:40. > :01:43.taxpayer will see a return on the billions spent on bailing out the
:01:43. > :01:48.banks rose today after Lloyds Banking Group announced a big
:01:48. > :01:56.profit. It made over just �2 billion in the first six months of
:01:56. > :01:59.the year. In the same period last year it lost �450 million. The
:01:59. > :02:04.Government could start selling its stake in the bank as early as
:02:04. > :02:10.Monday morning. Lloyds, taxpayers have owned a huge
:02:10. > :02:16.chunk of it since the crash of 2008, but a Sale side is about to go up
:02:16. > :02:20.on it. The privatisation could be the end of the disposing off �5
:02:20. > :02:25.billion of the shares to big City investors as soon as Monday morning.
:02:25. > :02:30.The chief secretary to the Treasury did not rule that out. There is not
:02:30. > :02:34.a fixed timetable and we are not going to rush it. The results are
:02:34. > :02:39.welcome as a sign the bank is continuing on the right path.
:02:39. > :02:44.Lloyds, in dire straits a few years back, can be sold because it is
:02:45. > :02:51.almost back in the pink. Profits in the first half of this year were
:02:51. > :02:56.�2.1 billion, compared to a loss in 2012. Lloyds is very close to being
:02:56. > :03:01.fully fixed. New management is in place and costs have been reduced
:03:01. > :03:07.and a lot of the business that is not essential part of the growth
:03:07. > :03:15.strategy has been sold or excepted. This is what the Chancellor will
:03:15. > :03:20.look at. 61p is what the taps alone needs to get the share price up to.
:03:20. > :03:25.73.6 pence is the price we paid for shares when we bailed out the bank.
:03:25. > :03:31.74p, the market price tonight, higher than what taxpayers pay for
:03:31. > :03:36.them. One of the reasons why Lloyds is so much more recovered and
:03:36. > :03:41.closer to privatisation than the other big semi nationalised banks,
:03:41. > :03:48.the Royal Bank of Scotland, is because Lloyds is all about this,
:03:48. > :03:54.branch banking, retail banking. It does not have RBS' complicated
:03:54. > :03:58.investment banking or much overseas. RBS, are probably still years away
:03:58. > :04:03.from its privatisation, but there will be a bit of important progress
:04:03. > :04:10.tomorrow with the announcement of a new chief executive. Meet Ross
:04:10. > :04:14.McEwan, the new boss. He is from New Zealand. Back at Lloyds an
:04:15. > :04:20.initial share sale would raise between 2.5 and �5 billion, very
:04:20. > :04:24.much a first step along the road to taxpayers getting back our �20
:04:24. > :04:29.billion. Robert, you say the Government could start selling its
:04:29. > :04:36.stake as early as Monday morning. How will George Osborne make that
:04:36. > :04:41.decision? The choice is sow now or wait until September or October
:04:41. > :04:46.because the city goes on holiday like most of the world he in a lot
:04:46. > :04:52.of August. If he misses the window of Monday or Tuesday, it is then
:04:52. > :04:58.very hard to press the button on the share sale until the autumn.
:04:58. > :05:02.There is momentum behind the share price as I've just mentioned. The
:05:02. > :05:08.shares closed tonight above the price which we as taxpayers paid
:05:08. > :05:13.for the state. He will not get that back if he were to try and sell
:05:13. > :05:17.this second because the big institutions that would buy the
:05:17. > :05:23.shares which demands a bit of a discount. But the Chancellor does
:05:23. > :05:28.not need to get the full prize that we paid in this initial sale
:05:28. > :05:31.because he is only selling a bit. He would hope that when he sells a
:05:31. > :05:39.more shares further down the track, the price will be higher. The
:05:39. > :05:44.dilemma it is a bird in the hand question. If he sells on Monday, he
:05:44. > :05:48.can be pretty confident he will get a reasonable price. There is a risk
:05:48. > :05:53.if he waits until the autumn that markets might have the jitters and
:05:53. > :05:57.the prize could be lowered. But there could be a wonderful some are
:05:57. > :06:00.on the stock market and the prize could be higher in the autumn. My
:06:00. > :06:06.hunch would be that he will go with the momentum and we will see
:06:06. > :06:11.something within days. The American whistleblower Edward Snowden,
:06:11. > :06:16.described by his lawyer as the most wanted man on the planet, has left
:06:16. > :06:22.Moscow airport. His lawyer said he had received the papers needed to
:06:22. > :06:27.enter Russian territory. Snowden, who exposed America's top-secret
:06:27. > :06:31.electronic surveillance programme, arrived in Russia in June. Daniel
:06:31. > :06:37.Sandford is at the Kremlin now. This is going to annoy the
:06:38. > :06:42.Americans. Yes, very much so. In the last few minutes, the White
:06:42. > :06:46.House spokesman has described the decision as extremely disappointing
:06:46. > :06:51.and said it undermines the long- standing co-operation between
:06:51. > :06:56.America and Russia on law and order. White House officials are already
:06:56. > :07:00.suggesting President Obama may now be reconsidering his summit which
:07:00. > :07:04.he was supposed to be having with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, the first
:07:04. > :07:08.proper summit that has ever been between that two men, now in
:07:08. > :07:14.jeopardy because Russia has decided to give temporary asylum to Edward
:07:14. > :07:17.Snowden. The Americans are so infuriated because of Edward
:07:17. > :07:21.Snowden claimed he could be tortured in America and he could
:07:21. > :07:26.face the death penalty and he could not face a fair trial. That has
:07:26. > :07:30.been accepted by the Russians and he has been allowed to leave the
:07:30. > :07:35.airport and he has evaded the media for five weeks and no-one will be
:07:35. > :07:40.able to find him now and less he wants to be found. The BBC has
:07:40. > :07:45.learnt two-thirds of fines issued to employers of illegal workers in
:07:45. > :07:50.the last five years remain unpaid. The Home Office issued almost �80
:07:51. > :07:55.million in fines and has so far only collected �25 million. The
:07:55. > :08:05.Home Office has been carrying out a major UK wide operation against
:08:05. > :08:09.illegal immigrants. Stay where you are. Stepping up the pressure to
:08:09. > :08:13.salvage its reputation. Since the Home Office took over
:08:13. > :08:19.responsibility for border controls in April, it has tried to send out
:08:19. > :08:23.a strong message. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
:08:23. > :08:28.Swansea today that meant moving in to arrest their shop worker,
:08:28. > :08:33.suspected of breaching a student visa, he admitted working here 12

:08:54. > :08:59.We have a grip. We have an environment where we are making it
:08:59. > :09:03.increasingly difficult for people to be in the UK illegally. Back in
:09:03. > :09:08.Swansea a raid on a nail bar reveals that two more suspects. The
:09:08. > :09:14.woman tells of the so she entered the UK in the back of a lorry. The
:09:15. > :09:17.man was thought to have overstayed on his student visa. This is a
:09:17. > :09:22.public attempt to restore confidence in immigration controls.
:09:22. > :09:28.At the same time the Government is looking to double the maximum fine
:09:28. > :09:33.for employing illegal workers to �20,000. But the system has been
:09:33. > :09:40.failing. More than 8500 employers have been fined in the last few
:09:40. > :09:44.years. But only �25 million has been paid. The Government says its
:09:44. > :09:50.Immigration Bill will reduce unpaid fines. Its critics say it must do
:09:50. > :09:55.more. We do not need a one off stump for TV cameras, we need
:09:55. > :09:59.regular, concerted action to deal with this. Tonight rates are
:10:00. > :10:05.continuing across the UK. The Home Office hopes its message will
:10:05. > :10:09.travel beyond the borders. English local authorities have been
:10:09. > :10:16.heavily criticised for piling up huge profits from parking fines and
:10:16. > :10:20.permits. The RAC says the council's earned a total of nearly six added
:10:20. > :10:25.million pounds after their costs were taken into account. Outside
:10:25. > :10:30.London Cornwall and Brighton notched up the biggest profits.
:10:30. > :10:36.If you think the cost of parking is going up, the chances are you are
:10:36. > :10:41.probably right. Parking charges, residential permits and finds, say
:10:41. > :10:47.the RAC, last year generated most English councils vast cash
:10:47. > :10:51.surpluses, up �54 million on the year before. Cornwall council
:10:51. > :10:58.amassed one of the biggest surpluses. We are very old
:10:58. > :11:02.pensioners who do not have a lot of money, so we are very cross.
:11:02. > :11:07.money should be spent in the right place. It should go back to the
:11:08. > :11:14.general public and not be held. motorists in Cornwall think they
:11:14. > :11:17.have got it bad, it is striders in London that are worst hit. Eight
:11:17. > :11:22.out of 10 councils earning the biggest surpluses are in the
:11:22. > :11:29.capital city with Westminster City Council topping that table. Local
:11:29. > :11:34.authorities in England, over 350, generated a combined surplus of 560
:11:34. > :11:39.fact million pounds, with only a minority operating their parking
:11:39. > :11:45.services at a loss. The majority that generated a surplus must by
:11:45. > :11:50.law and that money to their transport budgets. It is reinvested
:11:50. > :11:55.back into the road into newt two ways systems, into concessionary
:11:55. > :12:00.fares to allow our elderly to use public transport. Everything goes
:12:00. > :12:05.back into transport. It is transparent and clear. That may be
:12:05. > :12:08.the case in Westminster, but last week a court ruled that parking
:12:08. > :12:14.charge rises in Barking in north London were unlawful because the
:12:14. > :12:18.money had not been spent appropriately. Barnet council
:12:18. > :12:25.already had a surplus of �4 million when the new charges were brought

:12:34. > :12:39.his way into the row, saying unfair parking rules need to be reined in.
:12:39. > :12:44.That may mean it is local authorities, not drivers that are
