Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:36.:01:41.

British school children are falling behind their global rivals according

:01:42.:01:43.

to an international league table released today. The UK failed to

:01:44.:01:49.

make the top 20 nations in the latest tests taken by 15-year-olds.

:01:50.:01:53.

They were tested on three key subjects - maths, reading and

:01:54.:01:57.

science. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and

:01:58.:01:59.

Development, which organised the tests, found that East Asian

:02:00.:02:01.

countries are forging ahead despite Britain spending more than average

:02:02.:02:07.

on education. Our Education Correspondent, Reeta Chakrabarti

:02:08.:02:16.

reports. How will are teenagers stare in the

:02:17.:02:20.

global race? This performance by the UK suggests that is plenty to worry

:02:21.:02:25.

about. The headteacher at his Birmingham school think so. Our

:02:26.:02:30.

students have to compete globally in terms of gaining employment in the

:02:31.:02:34.

future. Jobs are anywhere in the world and students need to be

:02:35.:02:40.

prepared for that. It is concerning. International league tables focus on

:02:41.:02:44.

mathematics. The UK came 26 out of 65 countries. Within Europe, Poland,

:02:45.:02:52.

at 14 is the most improved. What stands out is the dominance of these

:02:53.:02:57.

Asia, which from Shanghai to South Korea has a clean sweep of the top

:02:58.:03:02.

five places. This is learning Korean style, a fierce worth a kick that

:03:03.:03:07.

sees teenagers putting up to 13 hours study a day. Even the little

:03:08.:03:13.

ones do a double shift, piling onto the school bus in the evening for a

:03:14.:03:20.

second round of study. The child's life... Wiese showed reports of

:03:21.:03:24.

these 15-year-olds in Birmingham. Could they cope with that regime? I

:03:25.:03:29.

don't think I could deal with it because it is hard enough doing six

:03:30.:03:32.

our schools every day and then homework after it. I have a social

:03:33.:03:39.

life. They do have time for their families and go out. In the Commons,

:03:40.:03:46.

the Education Secretary said countries which are strong

:03:47.:03:49.

performers shared certain features which he was trying to copy. There

:03:50.:03:55.

is an emphasis on social justice. And a commitment to an academic

:03:56.:03:59.

curriculum for all students. A high level of autonomy from bureaucracy

:04:00.:04:06.

for head teachers. Accountability performance, and headteachers have

:04:07.:04:09.

the critical power to hire who they want. Earlier, Michael Gove laid the

:04:10.:04:15.

blame for the UK's performance at the opposition's door. Labour said

:04:16.:04:19.

it achieved a lot in government, but... Our international competitors

:04:20.:04:27.

did that. The lessons of today is how you compete in the global race.

:04:28.:04:31.

It is about having qualified teachers. The performance of Wales

:04:32.:04:37.

is of particular concern with teenagers achieving lower than

:04:38.:04:39.

average scores than the rest of the UK. Decisively why is the subject of

:04:40.:04:44.

hot debate. As we've heard, the international

:04:45.:04:46.

survey found that within the UK pupils in Wales score below average

:04:47.:04:50.

in all three core subjects, reading, maths and science. Wales' Education

:04:51.:04:54.

Minister described the results as disappointing but insisted radical

:04:55.:05:00.

reforms were underway. Our Wales correspondent, Hywel Griffith

:05:01.:05:06.

reports. You think it is a sign of status?

:05:07.:05:13.

Learning what reputation can mean, this Cardiff school has a good

:05:14.:05:17.

academic record, but it is in a system that sits at the bottom of

:05:18.:05:22.

the class, according to today's results, Welsh pupils are at least

:05:23.:05:28.

half a school year behind UK average in mathematics, reading and science.

:05:29.:05:33.

What these results reflect the decisions made over a decade ago in

:05:34.:05:38.

the first years of devolved government when these teenagers were

:05:39.:05:42.

in their first years of schooling. The Welsh government said it would

:05:43.:05:47.

free teachers from a regime of constant testing. In 2001 it

:05:48.:05:51.

scrapped league tables, a decision that followed three years later by

:05:52.:05:56.

the abolition of tests for 11 and 14-year-olds. By 2010 there was a

:05:57.:06:03.

spending gap with Welsh pupils getting ?600 per pupil less than in

:06:04.:06:08.

England. Those other countries put in place a national programmes, most

:06:09.:06:14.

of Europe did it, to ensure teachers have the bodies of knowledge and the

:06:15.:06:18.

approaches to be good teachers. We didn't, we thought Wales would not

:06:19.:06:25.

have to do it. These test results have raised the political

:06:26.:06:28.

temperature in Wales. The Labour government here was already under

:06:29.:06:33.

pressure for bad PISA scores three years ago. It says changes made

:06:34.:06:36.

since we'll have an impact eventually. There are no quick

:06:37.:06:43.

fixes. It will take years to learn the lessons from PISA and turn it

:06:44.:06:48.

around to meet the challenges. The biggest of those challengers will be

:06:49.:06:52.

to restore the reputation of Wales and show its pupils are finally on

:06:53.:06:56.

the right path. And to find out more about how

:06:57.:07:00.

countries fared in the PISA test and even take the test yourself, visit

:07:01.:07:06.

our website. The Royal Bank of Scotland has

:07:07.:07:09.

apologised to hundreds of thousands of customers after a technical

:07:10.:07:12.

failure left them unable to use their debit or credit cards

:07:13.:07:16.

yesterday. Those with accounts at NatWest and Ulster Bank were also

:07:17.:07:19.

affected. The bank says the computer glitch was repaired within hours but

:07:20.:07:22.

as our personal finance correspondent, Simon Gompertz

:07:23.:07:24.

reports, several customers are still experiencing difficulties.

:07:25.:07:38.

Last night and today, RBS look like a bank not working properly for its

:07:39.:07:43.

customers. Transactions including Nat West and Ulster Bank are handled

:07:44.:07:48.

by a complex computer system which crashed. Greg from Sheffield could

:07:49.:07:54.

not get cash yesterday and then this morning he found his salary had

:07:55.:07:57.

disappeared from his account, it was only re-credited late today. Being

:07:58.:08:03.

unable to get my money and then being told I did not have any money

:08:04.:08:10.

at all, was really shocking. It has affected my trust with RBS and I am

:08:11.:08:13.

considering whether to stay with them. What is embarrassingly as it

:08:14.:08:19.

has happened before. Branches extended opening last summer as

:08:20.:08:23.

customers struggled with a computer glitch. Customers did not leave

:08:24.:08:30.

after last year's fiasco, but it looks like the repeat offender, the

:08:31.:08:35.

consequences in terms of people deserting the bank could be much

:08:36.:08:40.

more serious. Adding to their worries, the newly installed chief

:08:41.:08:45.

executive admitted that for decades, RBS failed to invest

:08:46.:08:50.

properly in its systems and mass might's system failure at the end of

:08:51.:08:54.

a frantic shopping day was unacceptable. Can RBS handle

:08:55.:08:59.

Christmas and its huge volume of shopping? It says the problem was

:09:00.:09:05.

not that the system was overloaded. We are confident this is unrelated

:09:06.:09:10.

to the problems in 2012 and we are confident it was unrelated to volume

:09:11.:09:14.

is going through yesterday. Many used Twitter to vent their Curie

:09:15.:09:17.

about bargains missed, not being able to pay for petrol and pledging

:09:18.:09:24.

to change banks. It is another shambles and the banks have to put

:09:25.:09:29.

it right quickly and sort out and convince their customers what they

:09:30.:09:32.

will do to prevent this happening again. They have allowed these

:09:33.:09:37.

systems to crash time after time. If the banks cannot sort it out, the

:09:38.:09:43.

regulator will have two step in. RBS has promised to reimburse anyone out

:09:44.:09:47.

of pocket, but the grievance is many were left at tales angry,

:09:48.:09:56.

embarrassed and unable to pay. An Italian woman who claims she was

:09:57.:09:59.

forced to have a caesarean section when she had a mental breakdown here

:10:00.:10:02.

has been speaking about her treatment at the hands of British

:10:03.:10:05.

authorities. She says she was then compelled to give up her baby for

:10:06.:10:08.

adoption by social services in Essex. Her lawyer has told the BBC

:10:09.:10:11.

that her treatment amounted to "pure brutality". Our correspondent,

:10:12.:10:18.

Alison Holt, is following the story. What should have been a two-week

:10:19.:10:23.

training trip to Stansted Airport for a pregnant Italian woman has

:10:24.:10:27.

become a drawn-out battle over her chart. She became ill after not

:10:28.:10:31.

taking medicine for her bipolar condition and was section. And then

:10:32.:10:37.

the baby was taken into the care of Essex county council. In Italy and

:10:38.:10:41.

well again, the woman has told newspapers there she did not consent

:10:42.:10:45.

to what happened. Her lawyer describes the treatment as

:10:46.:10:48.

brutality. TRANSLATION: to chat -- snatch

:10:49.:10:55.

people from their own family has happened in other regimes with no

:10:56.:10:59.

democracy. Think of the Hitler youth and North Korea. You cannot think of

:11:00.:11:04.

this happening in a western country. But this is a complicated case. In

:11:05.:11:10.

June 2012, the woman was described as profoundly ill and sectioned

:11:11.:11:13.

under the mental health act. Five weeks later the baby was delivered

:11:14.:11:18.

Rice as Aryan section after doctors, worried about risks, applied for a

:11:19.:11:23.

court order. The child was placed in the care of Essex children's

:11:24.:11:27.

services. In May this year, the Italian court ruled the child should

:11:28.:11:31.

stay in England and this up Toba, the UK courts of the child could be

:11:32.:11:37.

placed for adoption. Essex county council has said it

:11:38.:11:41.

acted in the best interests of the baby and they care proceedings

:11:42.:11:44.

judgement released today, said with no other family members able to take

:11:45.:11:49.

the child, it's best chance of stability was through adoption. Once

:11:50.:11:53.

the baby was born, its interests needed to be protected. And because

:11:54.:11:58.

it is a separate human being from the mother, decisions can be made

:11:59.:12:03.

about its welfare and have to be made about its welfare. Cases

:12:04.:12:08.

involving children are often difficult and painful. And this

:12:09.:12:12.

case, spanning two countries looks like it has some way to go before it

:12:13.:12:19.

is settled. Two of the most senior RUC men

:12:20.:12:22.

murdered by the IRA during the troubles were ambushed during

:12:23.:12:27.

collusion. That is the finding of a report released this evening. We go

:12:28.:12:36.

live to Belfast and our correspondence that. Give us the

:12:37.:12:39.

background to this case? Harry Breen and Bob Buchanan had been visiting

:12:40.:12:42.

their counterparts in an Irish police station south of the Irish

:12:43.:12:49.

border in 1989. It was as they travel back they were ambushed by an

:12:50.:12:52.

IRA unit. They were shot dead as they drove their car across that

:12:53.:12:57.

border road. Allegations persisted afterwards that there had been

:12:58.:13:01.

collusion between a rogue Irish police officer and members of the

:13:02.:13:09.

provisional IRA. Those rumours that -- persisted for almost two decades

:13:10.:13:14.

and this enquiry would was set up. Today the judge has found all of the

:13:15.:13:18.

evidence points towards a conclusion that information was in fact

:13:19.:13:24.

leaked. He said it was more likely to have been leaked from the station

:13:25.:13:28.

than anywhere else and reached the conclusion that there was collusion

:13:29.:13:33.

between members of the Irish police force and members of the provisional

:13:34.:13:38.

IRA. But he did not name any of the officers that are believed to have

:13:39.:13:40.

been behind this. Thanks very much.

:13:41.:13:45.

The trial of two men accused of murdering the off-duty soldier, Lee

:13:46.:13:48.

Rigby, has been hearing from a police officer who rushed to the

:13:49.:13:53.

scene. She told the court that when one of the men rushed towards her

:13:54.:13:56.

she thought she too would be killed. Michael Adebolajo and Michael

:13:57.:13:59.

Adebowale both deny murdering Lee Rigby at Woolwich in south east

:14:00.:14:01.

London in May. Our Home Affairs Correspondent June Kelly is at the

:14:02.:14:07.

Old Bailey. Another painful day in court for Lee

:14:08.:14:12.

Rigby's family. We heard from some of the paramedics and police

:14:13.:14:15.

officers who turned out on that afternoon. This report does contain

:14:16.:14:21.

stressing material. Just after Lee Rigby's killing and

:14:22.:14:25.

the two men on trial are waiting for the police. Michael Adebolajo runs

:14:26.:14:36.

at them, dropping one of his weapons. You can see him go down as

:14:37.:14:42.

police marksmen open fire. Here they aim at Michael Adebowale. He was

:14:43.:14:46.

shot and wounded also. This footage was shown to the jury. This is it

:14:47.:14:54.

from another angle. Michael Adebolajo underground and then

:14:55.:14:59.

Michael Adebowale with his weapon raised. Lee Rigby's body was lying

:15:00.:15:05.

close by. He had been butchered by the men with a meat cleaver and a

:15:06.:15:11.

knife. The court saw footage of them dragging his body into the middle of

:15:12.:15:16.

the road. In particularly gruesome evidence with the soldier's blood on

:15:17.:15:20.

his hands, Michael Adebolajo was recorded delivering a message. The

:15:21.:15:25.

only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying

:15:26.:15:30.

daily by British soldiers. It is and I wore an eye and a tooth for a

:15:31.:15:34.

tooth. The men made no attempt to lead the scheme. Michael Adebolajo

:15:35.:15:39.

said he wanted the police to kill him. One officer giving evidence

:15:40.:15:48.

said he described Michael Adebolajo's actions.

:15:49.:15:59.

The men, who deny murder will be back in court tomorrow as the

:16:00.:16:05.

prosecution continues its case. Thank you very much. The time is 6.

:16:06.:16:21.

16pm. Our top story this evening. Britain's school children are

:16:22.:16:25.

falling further behind their global rivals, according to international

:16:26.:16:30.

league tables. Still to come: Glasgow remembers those who died in

:16:31.:16:37.

Friday's helicopter crash. In Sportsday, a scare for Australia as

:16:38.:16:42.

captain Michael Clarke sits out their penultimate net session before

:16:43.:16:44.

the second Ashes Test. David Cameron has spent the second

:16:45.:17:01.

day of his visit to China in the country's commercial powerhouse,

:17:02.:17:05.

Shanghai. Announcing deals worth ?5 billion, the Prime Minister said a

:17:06.:17:10.

trading relationship was in both countries interests. One of China's

:17:11.:17:13.

main state-run newspapers has dismissed Britain saying it's no

:17:14.:17:22.

longer a "big country". You will never guess who I had in the back of

:17:23.:17:28.

my cab today, that is what they were saying in down town Shanghai. This

:17:29.:17:42.

firm is investing ?18 million to export the cabs around the world.

:17:43.:17:50.

British jobs being guaranteed by Kay niece money. He says the facts and

:17:51.:17:54.

figures speak for themselves. There has been more Chinese investment in

:17:55.:17:58.

Britain in the past 18 months than in the past 30 years. 500 business

:17:59.:18:06.

leaders and six British Government ministers gathered to hear him say

:18:07.:18:10.

he wants yet more. The facts and the figures are extraordinary. They

:18:11.:18:14.

point to an enormous opportunity for Britain and for British business and

:18:15.:18:19.

opportunity I'm determined that we grab with both hands. Partnership

:18:20.:18:23.

with Britain is good for China too, he claims. A point he made in

:18:24.:18:33.

mandarin. Wei shuang fang you li. In both sides' interests. Thank you

:18:34.:18:35.

veryvery much. Travelling with him have read claims they are Cameron's

:18:36.:18:41.

cronies and they resent. It alongside the big corporations and

:18:42.:18:45.

the money spinners like the Premier League are many with rather more

:18:46.:18:51.

modest aims. I make sausages, I want to sell them in China. May be the

:18:52.:18:56.

key to doing that? Having someone on my side, like the Prime Minister,

:18:57.:19:00.

will remove the bureaucracy that is there and will ensure I can get a

:19:01.:19:04.

health certificate for my sausages in this huge market. There are more

:19:05.:19:09.

Chinese students in Britain than from other country. One asked David

:19:10.:19:12.

Cameron today why he was acting more like a businessman than a Prime

:19:13.:19:17.

Minister? We are all going to have make our way in this global economy

:19:18.:19:22.

and play to to our strengths. One of Britain's strengths is that we are

:19:23.:19:26.

an open and welcoming economy. That is what is in it for us. What is in

:19:27.:19:31.

for China? We want your money, what do you want? We want your resources

:19:32.:19:40.

and we want your experience. David Cameron regards China as

:19:41.:19:45.

indispensable to Britain's economic future. What do the Chinese really

:19:46.:19:51.

think of us? One newspaper here dismisses Britain as an old European

:19:52.:19:58.

country, nice to travel to, nice to study in. The inquest into the death

:19:59.:20:07.

of Mark Duggan whose shooting by police sparked riots in London and

:20:08.:20:11.

elsewhere has heard that he appeared to be surrendering when he was

:20:12.:20:15.

killed. A witness said Mr Duggan had a mobile phone in his right hand and

:20:16.:20:20.

was holding his hands up. His evidence contradicts that of police

:20:21.:20:23.

officers who said he was holding a gun when he was shot dead in North

:20:24.:20:35.

London in 2011. August 2011 and Mark Duggan has been shot by police.

:20:36.:20:39.

Unmarked police cars surround a minicab in which he was travelling.

:20:40.:20:43.

This footage was filmed from a ninth floor flat from a member of the

:20:44.:20:47.

public. Witness B, as he is known, gave evidence today. He said that

:20:48.:20:51.

Mark Duggan had tried to run away from the police. He wasn't holding a

:20:52.:20:56.

gun, he said, but a mobile phone. Witness B said, "it looked like a

:20:57.:21:00.

phone clutched in his hand, he had his hands above his shoulders, near

:21:01.:21:04.

his face." He was asked by a lawyer for the Duggan family, Lesley

:21:05.:21:10.

Thomas, "are you saying Mark Duggan was shot when he looked as if he was

:21:11.:21:18.

surrendering?" He replied, "yes." This evidence contradicted the

:21:19.:21:21.

police account of the shooting. They said dug. -- Mark Duggan had a gun.

:21:22.:21:32.

He said he didn't. The inquest heard that Witness B took the footage to

:21:33.:21:35.

the BBC last year. A journalist there noted that B initially thought

:21:36.:21:40.

gun, but then read newspapers, then thought it was black berry. The

:21:41.:21:45.

police shooting of Mark Duggan sparked the Tottenham riots which

:21:46.:21:49.

led to the worst unrest in England for a generation. Mr Duggan's family

:21:50.:21:53.

and friends want to know how and why he was killed. The inquest is now

:21:54.:21:58.

nearing the end of its evidence, a jury will soon be asked to consider

:21:59.:22:06.

its verdict. The names of all nine people killed when a helicopter

:22:07.:22:10.

crashed into a pub in Glasgow on Friday night have been released the

:22:11.:22:14.

search and recovery operation has now ended at the Clutha Vaults bar.

:22:15.:22:18.

The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, visited the scene of the

:22:19.:22:22.

tragedy. 11 people remain in hospital. Side by side in mourning.

:22:23.:22:35.

The Clutha families are comforting each other. They came to say

:22:36.:22:40.

goodbye. They did not stand here alone. A really lovely boy. I just

:22:41.:22:46.

can't believe it. I cannot believe it. You just don't expect to go out

:22:47.:22:53.

for a night and something like that happen. It's so tragic. The scale of

:22:54.:22:59.

the tragedy has been matched by the response, so many lives torn apart.
