:01:44. > :01:47.Scotland's biggest industrial site, is to be closed. 800 jobs will be
:01:48. > :01:52.lost after the owner's shock decision to call in the liquidators.
:01:53. > :02:00.It follows a bitter dispute over pay and pensions. Hundreds more jobs are
:02:01. > :02:04.still under threat tonight at the site's oil refinery which has been
:02:05. > :02:18.shut during the dispute. The company said it hasn't yet decided whether
:02:19. > :02:25.to restart it or not. At 10am, they filed into the net
:02:26. > :02:29.fate. They are called inane to dispute. They had been warned to
:02:30. > :02:33.accept a pay freeze and poorer pension or get the sack. Absolutely
:02:34. > :02:39.devastated, that is all I am going to say. It is a disgrace what they
:02:40. > :02:44.have done here. Where does that leave you? Out of a job, like
:02:45. > :02:55.everybody else. Harry has worked here for 37 years. Disappointed,
:02:56. > :03:01.frustrated, angry. Yeah, really angry. But some contractors will
:03:02. > :03:07.also lose work and they have a different take. It is terrible, folk
:03:08. > :03:10.are losing their jobs because folk will not take a pension cut.
:03:11. > :03:14.Everybody has had to tighten their belts. A lot of subcontractors will
:03:15. > :03:21.lose their job, because INEOS will not take a pension cut. How did it
:03:22. > :03:25.come to this? INEOS come which owns Grangemouth, said it wanted to
:03:26. > :03:28.invest in petrochemicals, but only if it could cut staff costs. The
:03:29. > :03:34.workers called a strike and the company pulled the plug. Does this
:03:35. > :03:37.not look like vengeance? It is a sad day for everybody on the site. We
:03:38. > :03:41.are certainly not punishing them. But we have got to the point where
:03:42. > :03:44.the workers have not supported, through this ballot, the terms and
:03:45. > :03:48.conditions changes we want to make, which are needed for the business to
:03:49. > :03:52.survive and get that investment. This is the man that made the
:03:53. > :03:58.decision, Jim Ratcliffe, the billionaire owner of one Mac. He
:03:59. > :04:02.still controls Scotland's only refinery. It is a tangled, complex
:04:03. > :04:06.business. It includes the petrochemical plant, which made
:04:07. > :04:10.products including plastics and the refinery itself, which produces fuel
:04:11. > :04:15.from crude oil. The site also provides steam, which drives
:04:16. > :04:20.Northsea oil through the pipeline. So, what effect will the decision
:04:21. > :04:25.have? In terms of the petrochemical plant, it is quite likely it will be
:04:26. > :04:28.closed for good. There is the possibility that the liquidator
:04:29. > :04:32.might be able to sell the physical assets to someone else. The Scottish
:04:33. > :04:38.Government is leading the search for a buyer. Yes, we have been in talks
:04:39. > :04:42.with a potential buyer and, yes, that would be a far better prospect
:04:43. > :04:46.than closure of the plant. Our priority has been, right from the
:04:47. > :04:49.start, to try to bring the sites together, allow the investment and
:04:50. > :04:54.secure the future of the plant. That is what we are still doing and are
:04:55. > :04:57.determined to do. For now, these workers face an uncertain future and
:04:58. > :05:03.many of them are preparing for a long, late winter.
:05:04. > :05:10.This is not just about jobs, the plant is a symbol of Scotland's
:05:11. > :05:15.industrial muscle, isn't it? Yes, very much so. The union, Unite,
:05:16. > :05:19.describes what has happened here as an act of economic and industrial
:05:20. > :05:24.vandalism. That is the prism through which this is being seen. An
:05:25. > :05:30.old-style dispute between management and workers, rather than a dispute
:05:31. > :05:35.with a necessarily political dimension. That could change, if
:05:36. > :05:38.Alex Salmond could secure a buyer for the petrochemicals plant.
:05:39. > :05:42.Clearly, that would do him no harm at all. If, on the other hand, that
:05:43. > :05:46.refinery, that is so important to Scotland, closes, and it is still
:05:47. > :05:51.subject to negotiation, it would be a very different story. This dispute
:05:52. > :05:55.is not over yet. David Cameron says he wants to roll
:05:56. > :05:57.back the green tax is added to household energy bills. The
:05:58. > :06:01.announcement came in a furious exchange between the Prime Minister
:06:02. > :06:04.and Ed Miliband over the rising cost of gas and electricity. Mr Cameron
:06:05. > :06:07.also said there will be a review into whether there is proper
:06:08. > :06:14.competition between energy suppliers.
:06:15. > :06:18.This was the day when soaring energy bills and mounting calls for
:06:19. > :06:22.government action turned the heat up and David Cameron. And it is clear
:06:23. > :06:29.that he is not enjoying it. Was John Major right on the windfall tax? For
:06:30. > :06:34.weeks, he has dismissed calls from Labour to freeze energy bills. But
:06:35. > :06:39.he could not have foreseen today's warning from a former occupant of
:06:40. > :06:44.Number 10. Hence today's rushed and surprise announcement. We will be
:06:45. > :06:47.having a proper competition test, carried out over the next year, to
:06:48. > :06:51.get to the bottom of whether this market can be more competitive. I
:06:52. > :06:56.want more companies, I want more, better regulation, I want better
:06:57. > :07:00.deals for consumers. But, yes, we also need to roll back the green
:07:01. > :07:04.charges he put in place as Energy Secretary. The government is
:07:05. > :07:11.scrabbling to catch up with opponents. Boy, did Ed Miliband know
:07:12. > :07:16.it. He really is changing his policy every day of the week. It is
:07:17. > :07:21.extraordinary. His Energy Secretary says it has nothing to do with green
:07:22. > :07:26.taxes. 60% of the green taxes were introduced by him. Who is the man
:07:27. > :07:31.who said to vote blue to go green? It was him! John Major agreed with
:07:32. > :07:35.him, the Labour leader said, that it was time to stand up to energy
:07:36. > :07:40.companies. By this time, the Prime Minister was obviously losing his
:07:41. > :07:44.cool. The difference is, John Major is a good man, the Right Honourable
:07:45. > :07:48.gentleman is acting like a conman. That is what we are saying. He is
:07:49. > :07:51.promising something he knows he can't deliver. Believe it or not,
:07:52. > :07:55.there are some things you said we cannot say in the House of Commons
:07:56. > :08:03.and that was one of them. The word conman is frankly unparliamentary.
:08:04. > :08:14.The Prime Minister is a man of great use of language, it is a bit Soaring
:08:15. > :08:17.Soaring energy prices are proving difficult to handle for David
:08:18. > :08:19.Cameron. His mood will not have cooled down when he hears the
:08:20. > :08:25.reaction of his Liberal Democrat partners. One source told me that
:08:26. > :08:30.the Tories presented no properly worked policies on this. We will not
:08:31. > :08:37.allow a panicky U-turn to dictate government policy. Ouch. So, has the
:08:38. > :08:41.Government got a plan for cutting energy bills? The Prime Minister is
:08:42. > :08:46.focusing on what he says is the green part of the average bill, the
:08:47. > :08:51.?122 spent on green taxes. The Lib insist that is wrong and only ?50 of
:08:52. > :08:56.that subsidises wind and solar power. The rest is help for
:08:57. > :08:58.householders to fit things like new boilers and insulation. With the
:08:59. > :09:03.Tories wanting green taxes cut and the Lib Dems resisting, the four
:09:04. > :09:08.meant that run this coalition now face weeks of difficult
:09:09. > :09:11.negotiations. We have been working hard to examine every aspect of
:09:12. > :09:16.peoples energy bills. We are going to do so methodically. We're not
:09:17. > :09:19.going to make announcements on the hoof. We want to make sure people
:09:20. > :09:23.are not paying any more than they need to for their energy and that we
:09:24. > :09:27.deliver the vital commitments to the environment and green energy. Today
:09:28. > :09:33.we got a new prime ministerial promise to cut energy bills. Just
:09:34. > :09:36.one thing we are waiting for, the news of when and by how much.
:09:37. > :09:39.In the last half-hour the former broadcaster Stuart Hall has been
:09:40. > :09:42.charged with 16 historic sexual offences, against two girls.
:09:43. > :09:43.Lancashire Police has been investigating more allegations
:09:44. > :09:56.against the 83-year-old made after he was jailed.
:09:57. > :09:59.Russia says it is dropping piracy charges against Greenpeace activists
:10:00. > :10:03.involved in the recent arctic protest. The 30 protesters, which
:10:04. > :10:07.includes six from Britain, will instead face the lesser charge of
:10:08. > :10:12.hooliganism. They were arrested last month after activist 's tried to
:10:13. > :10:15.scale a Russian oil platform. The attack on a Kenyan shopping mall
:10:16. > :10:18.last month was one of the worst terrorist incidents of recent years
:10:19. > :10:22.and tonight the BBC has established that 50 people from Britain have
:10:23. > :10:26.links to the organisation behind it. The group Al-Shabaab is based in
:10:27. > :10:35.Somalia. Our Home Affairs correspondent June Kelly has this
:10:36. > :10:40.exclusive report. Al-Shabab is a militant organisation
:10:41. > :10:45.with links to Al-Qaeda. In a propaganda video released last week,
:10:46. > :10:48.there was praise for jihadis said to have travelled from the UK to
:10:49. > :10:54.Somalia to fight and die for Al-Shabab. Among them, this man,
:10:55. > :11:00.named in the film and Talha. He speaks about his roots in Tower
:11:01. > :11:06.Hamlets in east London. The Muslim people in Britain, especially of
:11:07. > :11:12.Tower Hamlets, were at the Citadel this morning. The BBC have
:11:13. > :11:17.established that Talha's real name is Taufail Ahmed and that he is of
:11:18. > :11:22.Bangladeshi origin. In 2008 he left to travel to Somalia. He fought with
:11:23. > :11:26.Al-Shabab for four years. In 2012, he was killed. His death has been
:11:27. > :11:31.confirmed by the Foreign Office. In Tower Hamlets, we have spoken to a
:11:32. > :11:36.former schoolmate of Taufail Ahmed. He was aware of his transition from
:11:37. > :11:41.teenage gang member to political extremist and religious zealot. He
:11:42. > :11:45.does not want to be identified. In gang culture, street cred is what
:11:46. > :11:49.gives you self-worth. So, for somebody that has lots of religious
:11:50. > :11:53.zeal and passion, for him to actually make the alternate
:11:54. > :11:56.sacrifice, to go and fight on a battlefield, it would have been the
:11:57. > :12:02.ultimate street cred. The circumstances of his death are
:12:03. > :12:03.unclear. Lawyers for his family here are now investigating uncorroborated
:12:04. > :12:10.claims that British military personnel were involved. There are
:12:11. > :12:15.Somalis eyewitnesses that identified those involved as British personnel.
:12:16. > :12:20.For those reasons, we think that further inquiries need to be made
:12:21. > :12:24.and the family has quite legitimate questions that need to be answered.
:12:25. > :12:28.The Ministry of Defence has declined to comment. Meanwhile, Taufail
:12:29. > :12:36.Ahmed's former schoolmate is reflecting on his death. What did he
:12:37. > :12:42.achieve? What did he get out of it at the end of the day? Some of us
:12:43. > :12:46.certainly think he was used. Many Britons who go abroad as jihadis are
:12:47. > :12:49.never heard of again. Now it has been established that Taufail Ahmed
:12:50. > :12:55.is among those who have died fighting for an extremist cause.
:12:56. > :13:00.A Chief Constable has told a committee of MPs that there is to be
:13:01. > :13:04.a review of a decision not to bring misconduct proceedings against three
:13:05. > :13:11.police official trips. They are accused of attending to discredit
:13:12. > :13:14.Andrew Mitchell. It is the latest twist in the plebgate affair, as it
:13:15. > :13:19.has become known, that has soured relations between politicians and
:13:20. > :13:23.police. Three policeman, a detective, a
:13:24. > :13:26.Sergeant and an inspector. All accused of lying to help bring down
:13:27. > :13:31.a cabinet minister. Today, they came not to court but something similar,
:13:32. > :13:35.Parliament, and insisted they had nothing to apologise for. I don't
:13:36. > :13:40.think we can give an apology at the moment. I suggest you can give an
:13:41. > :13:44.apology for spinning a yarn to the press to get some money out of high
:13:45. > :13:49.public office, clearly what you were motivated to do. That is not what we
:13:50. > :13:54.were motivated to do. You disagree with the IPCC and the Chief
:13:55. > :13:57.Inspector of police who said you miss conducted yourself. You are
:13:58. > :14:02.saying you are completely innocent of this matter? There was no
:14:03. > :14:06.intention to mislead, I do not feel we lied about what went on in the
:14:07. > :14:10.meeting. There was no conspiracy towards Mr Mitchell. They are
:14:11. > :14:14.talking about a meeting last autumn, at Andrew Mitchell's office in the
:14:15. > :14:17.West Midlands. The present state of the Police Federation asked for a
:14:18. > :14:21.meeting after the then Tory Chief Whip was accused of calling offices
:14:22. > :14:26.in Downing Street plebs, something he always denied. After the meeting,
:14:27. > :14:29.the police said Mr Mitchell had not told them what he said. Mr Mitchell
:14:30. > :14:34.recorded the meeting and proved he had. The police were asked if they
:14:35. > :14:39.had used the case to campaign against spending cuts. You thought
:14:40. > :14:42.that, collectively, you could bring down in a brother Government in
:14:43. > :14:49.penalty for what you thought was bad policy? I absolutely refute that
:14:50. > :14:55.suggestion. After all of the questions, MPs were not happy with
:14:56. > :14:58.the answers. This is not a television game show, it is a
:14:59. > :15:03.serious question about serious issues. Can I say on behalf of the
:15:04. > :15:06.committee that we have found your evidence most unsatisfactory?
:15:07. > :15:09.Throughout this saga, MPs at Westminster have been simply
:15:10. > :15:13.incredulous that these three policeman had not face disciplinary
:15:14. > :15:16.proceedings. Today, the Chief Constable that made that decision
:15:17. > :15:23.told MPs that the case for misconduct proceedings would now be
:15:24. > :15:28.reinvestigated. I have already written to Mr Mitchell. I wrote to
:15:29. > :15:30.him on Monday. It has not been public domain, because I felt it was
:15:31. > :15:34.a personal apology from me and he should receive it personally. I have
:15:35. > :15:39.taken the decision that the decision-making process should be
:15:40. > :15:42.revisited, independently. Apologies from some police today, but not all.
:15:43. > :15:49.MPs will give their verdict next week and they are not expected to
:15:50. > :15:55.pull punches. Our top story this evening.

:16:27. > :16:35.A school in Gloucestershire has been forced to close after an invasion of
:16:36. > :16:38.venomous spiders. They from from the false widow species and they have
:16:39. > :16:44.been crawling their way across southern England. The bite can
:16:45. > :16:48.cause, pain, swelling and nausea, it has long been established on the
:16:49. > :16:52.south coasting, but now more and more of them are being found inland
:16:53. > :16:58.and further north. Our correspondent has been finding
:16:59. > :17:06.out more. Schools out for spiders. At the Dean
:17:07. > :17:11.Academy no lessons today. The only uniforms have been worn by pest
:17:12. > :17:15.total officers who have spent the day fumigating classrooms. This is
:17:16. > :17:19.what they are trying to eradicate. The false widow spider, which has
:17:20. > :17:24.been found in several areas of the school. A week before Hallowe'en,
:17:25. > :17:29.this surprise day off school has been a reality check for poop
:17:30. > :17:33.pupils. I was scared at first, because I didn't know what kind it
:17:34. > :17:37.was, and I am not really a big fan of spiders. I was shocked to hear
:17:38. > :17:43.she was having a day off school for spiders. I am not complaining. I
:17:44. > :17:48.like the spiders now, but I wouldn't pick one up. You like them because
:17:49. > :17:53.they have given you a day off? Yes. It was like someone had stabbed in
:17:54. > :17:58.the the back. Steve doesn't like them. He was bitten by one in Devon
:17:59. > :18:01.last week and had such an extreme reaction he needed an emergency
:18:02. > :18:06.operation. By the fourth day it had gone black
:18:07. > :18:12.on top. I was struggling to move. I had been to the doctor, antibiotics
:18:13. > :18:18.weren't working. I got taken to hospital. In spider expert, who
:18:19. > :18:22.lives near the school, says he has received more reports of false
:18:23. > :18:28.widows but he thinks it is down to increased media coverage and some
:18:29. > :18:31.sensational headlines. He says the spiders are not lethal and there is
:18:32. > :18:35.no need to panic. It is not aggressive, and if you have got
:18:36. > :18:40.bitten by it you are unlucky. . The school says it only closed after
:18:41. > :18:44.taking expert advice. Tonight, we did find an eight legged visitor at
:18:45. > :18:48.the entrance but we are told this is nothing to worry about.
:18:49. > :18:54.They hope the school gates will re-open by tomorrow morning.
:18:55. > :19:02.In the meantime, the check also go on for some time yet.
:19:03. > :19:06.-- checks will. A court martial heard how a Royal
:19:07. > :19:09.Marine on active duty in Afghanistan shot dead an injured Afghan two
:19:10. > :19:14.years ago. The man was shot in the chest with a pistol at close range,
:19:15. > :19:19.with the incident captured on a helmet mounted camera, the commander
:19:20. > :19:23.and two other marines deny murder. Our defence correspondent was in
:19:24. > :19:28.court. Give us the background to this case.
:19:29. > :19:31.Well, the three Royal Marines on trial here for murder were first
:19:32. > :19:36.discovered when a video was found on one of their computers by civilian
:19:37. > :19:41.police and then the RMP looked into it. They are having their identities
:19:42. > :19:45.conrevealed and the prosecution began with their video, it was
:19:46. > :19:49.shown, the helmet camera which showed the three moving the Afghan
:19:50. > :19:53.insurgent who lay injured and disarmed on the ground, one marine
:19:54. > :19:57.suggests shooting him in the head. The other was seen by the court
:19:58. > :20:01.saying that is too obvious. Then marine A was shown with a pistol in
:20:02. > :20:10.his hands aiming at the chest. There is a shot. A says, there, shuffle

:21:36. > :21:38.sold cars and used the girl to wash them. Neighbours said they had no

:21:45. > :21:48.know, because they were always washing cars outside. You know, I
:21:49. > :21:54.may have seen her but I felt really sorry for her, a child of that age
:21:55. > :22:00.being in there for so long. The judge described this as a deeply
:22:01. > :22:08.disturbing case, sentencing the couple he told them you didn't treat
:22:09. > :22:12.in girl as a human being. You took advantage of her sun radget. You

:22:49. > :22:54.display, or pay the fine. A pound for 20 minutes it is too
:22:55. > :22:59.much. Five quid for two hours? Yes, if you nip off to go get change from
:23:00. > :23:06.somewhere because you have no change you end up with a ?50 fine.

:23:40. > :23:42.should say how much money traffic enforcement brings in and where it
:23:43. > :23:47.goes. The drivers should get five minutes extra time before they get a
:23:48. > :23:50.ticket. All of this we are told is having a negative impact on
:23:51. > :23:56.business. Here we have Matt and Jordan getting on with their job.
:23:57. > :24:00.They are doing so in a designated loading bay. That doesn't always
:24:01. > :24:07.help They can be expensive. We have suffered some months, two or ?300 in

:25:15. > :25:19.Catherine's family was also there, Michael and Carol with their two

:26:07. > :26:12.behind those stained glass window, the service which is now under way
:26:13. > :26:14.is entirely private. There there will be no visual record of it at

:26:20. > :26:22.principle guests to another room so photographs could be taken. They
:26:23. > :26:25.will be released tomorrow night. As for George, well, he seemed to be

:26:43. > :26:46.It is time for the weather. . After the strong winds and the
:26:47. > :26:50.heavy rain so far this week, the weather is putting its feet up for
:26:51. > :26:54.the next 24 hours, we have seen things becoming calmer through the
:26:55. > :27:00.day, and tomorrow looks like being a quiet day. By Friday we are back to
:27:01. > :27:04.square one. Strong winds and heavy rain return. Still some showers in
:27:05. > :27:09.the north, but they don't fizzle out, and the wind to the north will
:27:10. > :27:13.die down as well. Then we are left with in contrast to recent nights, a
:27:14. > :27:19.quiet night. Perhaps a few patches of mist and fog in England and
:27:20. > :27:23.Wales, rather chilly in some rural spots, with temperatures as low as
:27:24. > :27:27.three or four. So on we go into Thursday, a fine start to the day,
:27:28. > :27:32.perhaps a bit more cloud drifting into the far south, giving the odd
:27:33. > :27:36.light shower, but really not amounting to much. We are dominated
:27:37. > :27:41.by fine weather. Slight change is the way things feel. It was so mild
:27:42. > :27:44.earlier on. It is cooler for Scotland and Northern Ireland.
:27:45. > :27:48.Temperatures round 11 or 12, for northern England more sunshine,
:27:49. > :27:52.similar highs, 12 or 13. Further south plenty of sunshine to take us
:27:53. > :27:56.through the afternoon and feeling pleasantly mild, highs of 16 or 17.
:27:57. > :28:00.Just notice towards the south-west, a fine day this week, the exception
:28:01. > :28:04.is not the rule this is a ridge of high pressure that will be with us
:28:05. > :28:10.for Thursday, but here is what that bit of cloud, it is the shield round
:28:11. > :28:13.this area of low pressure. Some heavy rain to the south of the
:28:14. > :28:17.British Isles, then it will concentrate on Scotland and Northern
:28:18. > :28:22.Ireland, a wind away day throughout, perhaps not too bad, for example up
:28:23. > :28:26.to 19 in London. It will stay windy. Sharper showers are possible towards
:28:27. > :28:32.the far south-west. Then for the weekend, we stay unsettled. A fine
:28:33. > :28:36.starred start to Saturday. On Sunday it looks like we are back to dodging
:28:37. > :28:42.showers. Thank you. A reminder of the main
