:01:41. > :01:44.workers from Eastern Europe over British ones. In a speech today, the
:01:44. > :01:53.party's shadow immigration minister, Chris Bryant, had to tone down his
:01:53. > :01:56.comments after the firms accused him of getting his facts wrong. In a

:02:06. > :02:12.are two of the country's best-known retailers, now at the heart of the
:02:12. > :02:17.row over immigration and jobs. Tesco and Next have been criticised by the
:02:17. > :02:24.Labour Party for favouring foreign workers over British people. This is
:02:24. > :02:29.a new giant distribution plant of Tesco. Workers have been offered
:02:29. > :02:34.lower wages to transfer from a base that has closed, and most haven't,
:02:34. > :02:38.leading to the country hiring far more foreign workers. Today the
:02:38. > :02:48.immigration spokesman for Labour had softened his message. I want to see
:02:48. > :02:48.
:02:48. > :02:53.more companies providing assurances and demonstrating what they are
:02:53. > :02:59.doing to train and recruit local staff. Even for temporary posts.
:02:59. > :03:04.Rather than bringing workers in from abroad. Tesco said they have
:03:04. > :03:09.employed a large percentage of foreign workers, and it is higher
:03:09. > :03:18.than the old plant down the road, and today Labour are at pains to
:03:18. > :03:20.insist Tesco is a good employer. There is a confused message here.
:03:20. > :03:29.These Tesco workers seemed less bothered in the Labour Party about
:03:29. > :03:35.the mixture of foreign and British workers. If the workers pay taxes,
:03:35. > :03:40.who cares? They are doing the same thing as us anyway, they just put
:03:40. > :03:45.more graft in I suppose. More confusion surrounded a number of
:03:45. > :03:49.Labour 's initial claims, that Next found it cheaper to hire workers
:03:49. > :03:54.from Poland through a website that only advertises in Polish,
:03:54. > :03:59.effectively paying them less than the minimum wage. Today that party
:03:59. > :04:09.withdrew the claim. In a statement withdrew the claim. In a statement

:04:28. > :04:33.migrants come from the European Union, 55% come from outside where
:04:33. > :04:36.our migration reforms are having an effect. The problems Labour has had

:04:48. > :04:51.So how many people from EU countries actually work in Britain? Our Chief
:04:51. > :04:57.Economics Correspondent Hugh Pym is here and has been looking at the
:04:57. > :05:02.figures. Yes, George, today's exchanges have highlighted the
:05:02. > :05:04.changing world of the modern workplace. Employers want
:05:04. > :05:07.flexibility, recruiting extra temporary staff to manage peaks in
:05:07. > :05:09.the workload, but there's a perception in some communities that
:05:09. > :05:16.British workers aren't getting a fair chance because foreign workers
:05:16. > :05:20.are cheaper. This woman used to run a cleaning
:05:20. > :05:25.business. She didn't want to be identified because she feared local
:05:25. > :05:32.reaction. She charged businesses �9 per hour for a cleaner but one of
:05:32. > :05:35.her clients didn't want to pay that. When we said we couldn't continue it
:05:35. > :05:41.was quickly advertised on a Polish website and the next day we were
:05:41. > :05:46.given a team of Polish workers to train up at �7 per hour. The British
:05:46. > :05:50.economy is creating new jobs in many industries and they are going to
:05:50. > :05:56.both UK and foreign workers. If you look at the breakdown of the
:05:56. > :06:00.workforce, there are 27 million UK nationals in employment, and of the
:06:00. > :06:06.rest 1.4 million come from other parts of the European Union. That
:06:06. > :06:12.number has increased by 2.3% over the last year, comparing with a 1.4%
:06:12. > :06:15.increase in the UK nationals total. Whether it is agriculture,
:06:15. > :06:20.manufacturing warehouse operations, there can be big increases in the
:06:20. > :06:27.demand for workers at certain times of the year. Many employers argue
:06:27. > :06:34.they cannot meet the demand locally so they use agencies who find
:06:34. > :06:39.workers often from outside the UK. By advertising a job in Poland only
:06:39. > :06:42.in Polish and not advertising it in the UK, they could be seen to be
:06:42. > :06:47.indirectly discriminating against UK workers but I have never seen an
:06:47. > :06:50.instance of that and most of the time employers are keen to get
:06:50. > :06:55.workers from their locality and would certainly advertise in the UK
:06:55. > :07:02.before getting workers from overseas. The government admits the
:07:02. > :07:06.benefits system can make it hard to take temporary work, but future
:07:06. > :07:09.reforms should make it easier for British workers.

:07:42. > :07:50.tunnel boring machines into the ground to start building a super
:07:50. > :07:52.sewer to clean up the Thames. This site and some others has cost the

:08:03. > :08:09.water company, but it has to agree how much it will increase prices on

:08:13. > :08:20.million customers are facing the prospect of an unexpected rise in
:08:20. > :08:26.bills. When prices were set in 2009, we didn't know how much some of the
:08:26. > :08:30.small things would cost. Now we are making the application, but we don't
:08:30. > :08:36.want to claim it all back in one year, we want to spread it over
:08:36. > :08:40.several years to avoid a spike in bills. Costs have been soaring as it
:08:40. > :08:46.bought land for its planned super sewer designed to clean the Thames,
:08:46. > :08:50.but bad debts have been rising as well, as more people do not pay

:22:37. > :22:43.spell in custody. It could be at least one year before the case goes
:22:43. > :22:47.to trial. The former leader of the Scottish Conservative Party, David
:22:47. > :22:51.McLetchie, has died of cancer at the age of 61. A Labour Party in
:22:52. > :22:57.Scotland for seven years before standing down in 2000 and five amid
:22:57. > :22:59.a controversy over his taxi expenses. The First Minister
:22:59. > :23:06.described Mr McLetchie as a very considerable politician of the
:23:07. > :23:12.devolution era. Cricket and the fourth Ashes test looks set to be
:23:12. > :23:15.heading for an exciting climax with Australia chasing 299 runs. England
:23:16. > :23:23.need wickets to secure the series win over the tourists. Joe Wilson
:23:23. > :23:27.has a latest. Entertainment for the queues. If there is one lesson
:23:27. > :23:32.Australian fans have had to learn, it is how to accept sympathy with
:23:32. > :23:38.good humour. Faced with Ian Bell emissaries, you have to either laugh
:23:39. > :23:48.or cry. He reached the highest score of his summer with this and he might
:23:48. > :23:51.be incredible, but he is not infallible. Beaten on 113 by
:23:51. > :23:58.Australia 's chief balloon burst. When he departed, England were only
:23:58. > :24:05.219 ahead and Harris was not finished. Tim Bresnan pushed England
:24:05. > :24:11.onwards with 45 valuable runs. And more from Graeme Swann, who swung
:24:11. > :24:17.away and got away with it. For Australia, not amusing. England were
:24:17. > :24:21.all out 290 ahead. The crowds -- clouds play their game and
:24:21. > :24:30.Australia's batsmen were not going anywhere. Chris Rogers allusive,
:24:30. > :24:33.avoiding near misses. Australia past 100 and England did not know where
:24:33. > :24:43.the wickets were coming from. The solution was Graeme Swann. Rogers
:24:43. > :24:45.
:24:45. > :24:54.out. Trot triumphant. LBW, Graeme Swann again. Warner left Australia
:24:55. > :24:58.168-3, searching for 299. Target The suddenly seemed more distant. And
:24:58. > :25:07.even more distant because England have just taken two more wickets,
:25:07. > :25:14.Clark and Smith both going, victims of Stuart Broad. 175-5, Australia.
:25:14. > :25:18.299 to win. This match has just shifted in England 's direction. In
:25:18. > :25:22.the last few minutes at the World Championships in Moscow, Christine
:25:22. > :25:31.Ohuruogu has been running in the 400 metres final. Andy Swiss is that the
:25:31. > :25:38.stadium. It was a photo finish? Extraordinary drama inside the
:25:38. > :25:44.stadium. The good news is that Christine Ohuruogu is the world
:25:44. > :25:49.champion over 400 metres but only after a photo finish. She came into
:25:49. > :25:55.the final with high hopes, she was speaking at the right time but as
:25:55. > :26:01.she came into the closing straight, she was trailing the athlete from
:26:01. > :26:06.Botswana. But she is famed for her late bursts of speed and once
:26:06. > :26:12.again, an extraordinary display of power. It was agonisingly close. It
:26:12. > :26:16.was impossible to tell who had one but after a few agonising moments,
:26:16. > :26:20.it came up that although they had tracked the same time, Christine
:26:20. > :26:28.Ohuruogu had won the gold medal. So another gold medal to go with her
:26:28. > :26:33.world title in 2007 and her Olympic title from 2008. As far as Britain
:26:33. > :26:35.is concerned, it is their second gold medal of these World
:26:35. > :26:41.Championships after the victory of more thorough on Saturday. But what
:26:41. > :26:51.a day. She is the World Championship thank you for that good news.
:26:51. > :26:54.
:26:54. > :26:59.today but we will lose those through the night as it turns dry and clear
:26:59. > :27:04.with starry skies and if you are watching those meteor showers, it
:27:04. > :27:10.might be chilly. Then we have more cloud moving into Northern Ireland
:27:10. > :27:15.through the early hours perhaps with patchy rain. Time is an city
:27:15. > :27:20.temperatures, 11-13 degrees. What colder in the countryside. We start
:27:20. > :27:25.tomorrow across south-west England with dry weather, perhaps some cloud
:27:25. > :27:29.towards the north-west. Sunshine along the south coast into parts of
:27:29. > :27:37.East Anglia and the East Midlands, it is a bright start but towards the
:27:37. > :27:40.West we have more clout and patchy rain across parts of Wales. Damp and
:27:41. > :27:47.grisly for Northern Ireland at this stage. Cloud to the north-west of
:27:47. > :27:54.Scotland, 12 showers scattered around and we shall see a mixture of
:27:54. > :27:58.sunshine and showers for parts of Scotland and north-east England. To
:27:58. > :28:00.this either that, cloud and rain moving across Wales and the Midlands
:28:00. > :28:05.and for those Southern counties, after that bright start, it should
:28:05. > :28:11.stay mostly dry if cloudy for the afternoon. Temperatures similar to
:28:11. > :28:17.today. On Wednesday, the best weather sitting to the East, further
:28:17. > :28:20.west it looks cloudy and another week weather front moves into the
:28:20. > :28:25.south-west corner bringing patchy rain. Temperature is not far from
:28:25. > :28:28.the average. It will turn warm and muggy for the end of the week but
:28:29. > :28:33.along with that comes a weather front, with heavy showers and longer
:28:33. > :28:40.spells of rain. More details on the forecast on the website. Thank you
