:01:15.:01:36.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. The Education Secretary

:01:37.:01:41.

Michael Gove has spelled out his vision for state education in

:01:42.:01:43.

England, saying the schools should be as good as those in the private

:01:44.:01:47.

sector. Mr Gove said state schools were already improving and listed

:01:48.:01:50.

some changes he believes would make them better. State schools could

:01:51.:01:56.

stay open longer. He wants more emphasis on discipline and is

:01:57.:02:02.

introducing tougher exams. As our education correspondent Reeta

:02:03.:02:04.

Chakrabarti reports, not all teachers are convinced.

:02:05.:02:11.

To some, he is the saviour of England's schools. Two others, he is

:02:12.:02:17.

an arrogant meddler. But none would dispute is that Michael Gove is a

:02:18.:02:21.

man with big ambitions, a passion even, for rigorous standards and no

:02:22.:02:25.

excuses. This morning, at a carefully chosen venue, a state

:02:26.:02:29.

funded free school that is twinned with Eaton, Mr Gove said he wanted

:02:30.:02:33.

to break down what he called the Berlin Wall between state and

:02:34.:02:39.

private schools. My ambition for our education system is simple. When you

:02:40.:02:43.

visit a school in England, standards must be so high all round that you

:02:44.:02:48.

simply cannot tell whether it is a state school or an independent,

:02:49.:02:54.

fee-paying school. So, a future Conservative government would help

:02:55.:02:58.

state schools like this one in London to offer a nine or ten hour

:02:59.:03:02.

day, just like independent schools, with time for structured homework,

:03:03.:03:07.

music and sport. These teenagers, perhaps predictably, were not

:03:08.:03:10.

thrilled at the prospect. If they were like, you have to come to the

:03:11.:03:15.

club after school, I would be like, do I have to? If it was a nine or

:03:16.:03:19.

ten hour day, it takes away from that aspect of having a social life

:03:20.:03:23.

where you develop as a person. Michael Gove's words are likely to

:03:24.:03:29.

go down better with parents with doubts about the state system. But

:03:30.:03:32.

the headteacher here defends her sector, which she says as well on

:03:33.:03:37.

less money than private schools. The idea that you should be able to walk

:03:38.:03:41.

into any school and it just seemed like a particular type of school is

:03:42.:03:46.

rather dampening to the creativity and individual spirit of schools.

:03:47.:03:51.

Certainly, what we do here is said, you can do anything of the

:03:52.:03:54.

independent sector does, as long as you have the right people and bubbly

:03:55.:03:59.

bit more money behind it. A relentless drive to set high

:04:00.:04:03.

standards and accept Noakes juices for poor performance is what marks

:04:04.:04:07.

out Michael Gove. But he has made enemies in the process, not so much

:04:08.:04:13.

for his vision, but his methods. The Labour peer Sally Morgan said he was

:04:14.:04:16.

politically motivated in replacing her as chair of the schools watchdog

:04:17.:04:21.

Ofsted on something he strongly denies. The said he should not

:04:22.:04:25.

surround himself with yes-men. Labour said he has got his

:04:26.:04:29.

priorities wrong. I wish the Secretary of State would focus on

:04:30.:04:33.

improving teacher quality, how we get the best or fried teachers into

:04:34.:04:37.

our classrooms, how we keep training them and refreshing them as

:04:38.:04:41.

professionals rather than some of the gimmicks we have seen today.

:04:42.:04:45.

Ruffling feathers in the education establishment is something Michael

:04:46.:04:47.

Gove thinks is a price worth paying, but others think the man with the

:04:48.:04:51.

big idea would do better to take more people with him.

:04:52.:04:54.

Let's speak to our Political Editor Nick Robinson, who's at Westminster.

:04:55.:05:04.

This is quite a bold claim for Michael Gove to be making. It is a

:05:05.:05:08.

big claim am a big ambition from a man who generates a big fuss pretty

:05:09.:05:12.

much whenever he puts his head above the parapet. The claim was that

:05:13.:05:17.

actually, now people do not have to go to private schools, they don't

:05:18.:05:20.

have to move house to a better postcode to get a good state

:05:21.:05:24.

education. The ambition that every state school could be as good as

:05:25.:05:32.

those private schools. Controversy, we have seen in recent days. Michael

:05:33.:05:35.

Gove is one of the most courteous men in West -- Westminster, and yet

:05:36.:05:41.

he is one of the most loathed people in the world of education because

:05:42.:05:44.

they see him as a revolutionary, a man trying to impose traditional,

:05:45.:05:48.

rather than what are often called progressive values. He is very

:05:49.:05:53.

polite in public, in private rather less so, denigrating people who have

:05:54.:05:57.

been running the education system for years as what he called the

:05:58.:06:02.

blog, like that 1950s movie, a great, amoeba-like thing that stops

:06:03.:06:05.

reform from happening. He has blamed civil servants, teachers and

:06:06.:06:10.

educationalists. Today, he was playing nice, though. And of course,

:06:11.:06:15.

he hopes the parents will say, we are on his side. But he will worry

:06:16.:06:19.

that if teachers say there is too much meddling and not enough money,

:06:20.:06:22.

that parents may listen to them instead.

:06:23.:06:24.

David Cameron has called for a premium rate helpline for flood

:06:25.:06:27.

victims to be scrapped. It follows angry complaints when people

:06:28.:06:30.

affected by the floods discovered they were being charged 41 pence a

:06:31.:06:34.

minute. The Environment Agency says it makes no money on the calls.

:06:35.:06:37.

Tonight, there are still three severe flood warnings in place for

:06:38.:06:41.

the Midlands and the south-west. Jon Kay reports from Somerset.

:06:42.:06:53.

A new week, but no respite. This is how Monday morning started in Devon.

:06:54.:07:06.

And this was the Cornish coastal town of Looe, the high tide taking

:07:07.:07:10.

over the high street, even filling the supermarket aisles. Michelle's

:07:11.:07:13.

restaurant was among those flooded, and when she realised that a call to

:07:14.:07:17.

the Environment Agency's Floodline could cost her up to 41p a minute,

:07:18.:07:23.

she was outraged. It is another extra expense. It is crazy. They

:07:24.:07:29.

should not be charging. They should not be making money out of people

:07:30.:07:32.

who are getting flooded and their livelihoods are being put in

:07:33.:07:37.

jeopardy. It is wrong. The Environment Agency says the

:07:38.:07:40.

Floodline has been running for 15 years, and the costs have always

:07:41.:07:44.

been publicised. They insist that they don't make any money out of it.

:07:45.:07:49.

It is run by a private operator, so the charges are determined by them.

:07:50.:07:56.

We have recognised, as technology has improved, that there are better

:07:57.:08:03.

ways of doing this. Well, the Environment Agency confirmed to me

:08:04.:08:06.

this afternoon that they have already set up a cheaper 0345

:08:07.:08:10.

number, but they have decided not to publicise it yet because they don't

:08:11.:08:15.

want to confuse people, they say, while they are dealing with this

:08:16.:08:20.

ongoing winter incident. The way the Environment Agency spends its money

:08:21.:08:24.

has also been questioned today, after its chairman said there were

:08:25.:08:28.

choices to be made about whether to protect our towns or the countryside

:08:29.:08:33.

from flooding. On the banks of the river parrot in Bridgwater, people

:08:34.:08:36.

think urban areas like there's need most rejection. In a town,

:08:37.:08:42.

everywhere gets flooded. It comes to a standstill. Businesses will not be

:08:43.:08:48.

able to operate. Old-age pensioners, how will they get about? Here we

:08:49.:08:53.

have got our dining room floor and sitting room floor. But head into

:08:54.:08:56.

the countryside, and you get a very different answer. Rob's village home

:08:57.:09:02.

has been flooded by the same river, and he says rural areas like his

:09:03.:09:07.

need just as much protection. It is a very naive argument that the

:09:08.:09:12.

country is just full of farmers and tractors, and everybody else works

:09:13.:09:19.

in the city. The countryside is a total environment. That debate is

:09:20.:09:25.

set to continue, and it seems, so is this terrible weather.

:09:26.:09:28.

A second inquest has opened today into the death of Anne-Marie

:09:29.:09:31.

Ellement, a Royal Military police officer who hanged herself after

:09:32.:09:34.

claiming she was raped by two male colleagues. Her sister said Corporal

:09:35.:09:40.

Ellement was "absolutely devastated" when military investigators decided

:09:41.:09:44.

not to prosecute the two men. Duncan Kennedy reports.

:09:45.:09:53.

Joining the Army was a dream come true for Corporal Annemarie

:09:54.:09:56.

element, but the royal military police was a unit she came to hate.

:09:57.:10:02.

She told friends two colleagues raped her in Germany, but that when

:10:03.:10:07.

she complained their and here in Wiltshire, her colleagues turned on

:10:08.:10:12.

her. She said she was only by superiors and became angry over the

:10:13.:10:17.

lack of Army support. The inquest heard that she became depressed, and

:10:18.:10:24.

in October 2011, she killed herself. Her family have fought for this

:10:25.:10:27.

second inquest, because they believe the truth did not come out in the

:10:28.:10:32.

first one. We want justice and some answers, and we want to know the

:10:33.:10:38.

real reason for what happened to my little sister and why she was not

:10:39.:10:41.

protected. Her mother, Alexandra Barritt, told the inquest she,

:10:42.:10:47.

Annemarie, was belittled by staff. She was distressed that no one had

:10:48.:10:50.

been charged. She added, Annemarie felt she got no support from the

:10:51.:10:54.

Army. Her sister Sharon also gave evidence, saying Annemarie could not

:10:55.:11:00.

believe they were not taking the allegations seriously. Army justice

:11:01.:11:05.

is, she said, they have got away with what they did to me. On another

:11:06.:11:11.

occasion here at the military camp, Corporal Ellement went to a rugby

:11:12.:11:18.

match where a soldier, in front of hundreds of spectators, shouted out,

:11:19.:11:22.

she is the girl who cried rape. Corporal Ellement told her family

:11:23.:11:26.

she was mortified by the comment. Corporal Derek Bennett, in the

:11:27.:11:29.

suit, said welfare in her unit was nonexistent, but the Ministry of

:11:30.:11:35.

Defence will argue that Corporal Ellement did receive support

:11:36.:11:37.

following the rape allegation. Health campaigners are calling on

:11:38.:11:40.

women over 70 to continue checking for breast cancer. It follows new

:11:41.:11:44.

evidence which shows that this age group accounts for more than half of

:11:45.:11:47.

all deaths from breast cancer each year. At the moment, in England,

:11:48.:11:51.

Wales and Northern Ireland, screening stops automatically for

:11:52.:11:55.

women when they are 70. Here's our Health Correspondent Branwen

:11:56.:12:03.

Jeffreys. A nice day in the garden, one of

:12:04.:12:06.

life's simple pleasures, something Rosemary Webb really appreciates. A

:12:07.:12:12.

year ago, at the age of 83, she was told she had breast cancer. She is

:12:13.:12:16.

of a generation that like to talk about cancer. But Rosemary is glad

:12:17.:12:22.

she asked for regular checks, which led to early treatment. Younger

:12:23.:12:28.

people seem to be a bit more open with their body workings. Elder

:12:29.:12:34.

people, my generation, perhaps feel a bit, not shy, but a bit more

:12:35.:12:40.

reticent in going to a doctor. But it needs to be done. It is the most

:12:41.:12:47.

common type of cancer in women. Around 41,000 women in England are

:12:48.:12:50.

told each year that they have got breast cancer. 13,000 of those cases

:12:51.:12:56.

are in women over the age of 70, but more than half the breast-cancer

:12:57.:13:03.

deaths are in this age group. Although breast cancer survival has

:13:04.:13:07.

improved massively. In 1971, it was just 54%. By 2011, it was up to 84%.

:13:08.:13:16.

Breast cancer is increasingly a success story, but success still

:13:17.:13:22.

largely relies on picking up the disease early on. Screening plays an

:13:23.:13:29.

important part in that. The NHS starts inviting women as they get

:13:30.:13:33.

close to the menopause. Those invitations for regular checks now

:13:34.:13:38.

go on into your early 70s. But you can ask to be checked after that.

:13:39.:13:42.

Women over 70 in good health can benefit from treatments, too, but

:13:43.:13:47.

may not be aware of all the possible warning signs. Most people know that

:13:48.:13:53.

a lump is a sign of breast cancer, but there are other symptoms such as

:13:54.:13:57.

a brash, a nipple turning in when it's normally turns out, or casting

:13:58.:14:01.

around the nipple. Any of those symptoms or anything unusual, you

:14:02.:14:05.

should get checked out as soon as possible with a doctor. Rosemary has

:14:06.:14:10.

been told she has a good chance of staying clear of cancer, leaving her

:14:11.:14:15.

free to get on with her life. My future is great, really secure, I

:14:16.:14:20.

feel. I am able to stay with the family and see grandchildren get

:14:21.:14:22.

married and have great grandchildren. I would be quite

:14:23.:14:27.

happy just coasting along as I am at the moment. And there is no reason

:14:28.:14:32.

why other older women can't share in the success of breast cancer

:14:33.:14:36.

treated. -- treatment. Former minister Tim Yeo has been

:14:37.:14:38.

dropped as the Conservative candidate for his South Suffolk

:14:39.:14:41.

constituency. Mr Yeo, who was recently cleared of breaking

:14:42.:14:43.

parliamentary rules on lobbying, was deselected in a secret ballot of

:14:44.:14:48.

local party members. Some complained that Mr Yeo had been "virtually

:14:49.:14:51.

invisible" in parliament and in the constituency. Lloyds Bank, which was

:14:52.:15:06.

bailed out by taxpayers at the height of the financial crisis, has

:15:07.:15:09.

said preparations to sell billions of pounds of shares to the public

:15:10.:15:13.

are well advanced. The share price fell today or news it is setting

:15:14.:15:18.

aside more money to settle claims caused by the mis-selling of payment

:15:19.:15:23.

protection insurance. Our business editor, Robert pest and reports.

:15:24.:15:31.

9000 ?800 million, that is ?9.8 billion, the total bill for Lloyds

:15:32.:15:37.

compensating customers it mis-sold PPI insurance, which is more than

:15:38.:15:41.

the national income of Iceland. An almost unbelievable bill for Lloyds

:15:42.:15:48.

past misbehaviour. The bank is gradually getting back to health. We

:15:49.:15:53.

have had to put even more aside to compensate people for mis-sold

:15:54.:15:57.

payment protection insurance, ?10 billion now from this bank loan, 20

:15:58.:16:02.

billion from the banking system as a whole. There is a massive silver

:16:03.:16:06.

lining. When you add together all the costs for giving back money to

:16:07.:16:11.

victims of mis-selling, some ?20 billion is being injected into the

:16:12.:16:15.

economy and that is one of the big reasons why Britain is growing

:16:16.:16:18.

again. These people in Birmingham explain where all the money is

:16:19.:16:24.

going. We have not been abroad and we decided that is what we will do.

:16:25.:16:30.

We have treated ourselves. My brother got some money back but I

:16:31.:16:36.

have not received anything. In spite of the enormous costs of

:16:37.:16:40.

compensating victims of mis-selling, the bank is performing much better

:16:41.:16:44.

than it was and its share price is comfortably above what we, at tax

:16:45.:16:49.

payers, paid to rescue it joined the crisis of 2008. That is why the

:16:50.:16:54.

Government is working on detailed preparations for the next phase of

:16:55.:16:59.

privatisation. The Government sold ?3 billion of Lloyd shares in the

:17:00.:17:03.

autumn and is now working on a second sale of ?5 billion of shares

:17:04.:17:11.

for April, and that would be five times the size of the recent Royal

:17:12.:17:15.

Mail privatisation. We cannot carry on Mike this with banks not

:17:16.:17:18.

performing like they should. -- like this. As soon as we get these banks

:17:19.:17:26.

sensibly in a fixed state in the private sector, the better for all

:17:27.:17:27.

of us. A huge multi-billion pound mass

:17:28.:17:39.

market share sale, aimed at millions of people. The Government will want

:17:40.:17:44.

to offer these to retail investors. There will probably be special terms

:17:45.:17:47.

for Lloyds Bank customers. I think they will be very tempted to try to

:17:48.:17:53.

sell them all out in one go. Should that happen, it would be a political

:17:54.:17:58.

as well as financial event. Ed Miliband has recently pledged to

:17:59.:18:01.

break up the big banks, including Lloyds. If investors became

:18:02.:18:06.

convinced that Labour 's plans to dismantle the banks are credible,

:18:07.:18:13.

privatisation would be even harder. Our top story... The Education

is hard to believe. According to human rights groups, North Korea

:21:00.:21:04.

persecutes Christians. British lecturer Colin McCulloch left

:21:05.:21:08.

youngsters to act responsibly. I am pleading to every youngster to think

of the things they are doing. It has cost my son his life. The whole

family is devastated. Our lives will never be the same again. I hope this

message is heeded because, for us, life is virtually over. Now, one

minute your car is parked safely on the driveway, the next moment it has

vanished. That's what happened to one family in High Wycombe. They

:22:48.:22:50.

discovered a sinkhole 30 feet deep and 15 feet wide, big enough to

:22:51.:22:54.

swallow a car. Thankfully, no-one was injured. Sangita Myska's been

looking into the story. Imagine waking up to this. A whole that

exactly what happened to fill and Liz Conran from High Wycombe. They

were first alerted to the sinkhole when they were woken up by their

daughter on Sunday morning. We heard a piercing scream about 7am. She was

:23:25.:23:30.

looking out the window, my car, my car, it has gone! This pit has left

:23:31.:23:40.

Neighbours literally speechless. We saw it on television and I went...

:23:41.:23:48.

Gobsmacked! 100 years ago, this part of the Chilterns used to be

regularly mindful clay. The pits were filled in and houses built on

top. The last four months of heavy winter rain have eroded the subsoil,

:23:59.:24:03.

leaving this hole in its wake. Luckily no one here was hurt. This

sinkhole swallowed a car with the driver still in it in America.

He thought it was an original work by the Russian artist, Marc Chagall,

told it is fake, and is having to resort to court action to stop it

being destroyed. The forgery was discovered by the BBC's Fake or

:24:48.:24:52.

Fortune programme. Here's our arts editor, Will Gompertz. Here is the

:24:53.:25:07.

controversial painting, dated 1909, 1910. It is destined for destruction

:25:08.:25:15.

because it is, according to the Marc Chagall committee in France, a

:25:16.:25:19.

fake. The owner is not contesting the judgment but he does want his

:25:20.:25:24.

painting back. We are having to take some action against the committee by

:25:25.:25:28.

taking out an injunction, just as a holding operation. We do not want to

:25:29.:25:32.

do anything which could destroy the painting in the near future. We want

:25:33.:25:38.

to be able to negotiate with them so we can come to a reasonable

:25:39.:25:44.

settlement with them. A booming art market means there is plenty of

:25:45.:25:48.

potential to make a lot of money for buying and selling famous modern

:25:49.:25:53.

Art, making those in the business to authenticate it very powerful. Who

:25:54.:25:58.

are they? Sometimes it is someone from the family, perhaps a son. They

:25:59.:26:03.

may well know the work of the artist. Sometimes it is someone who

:26:04.:26:09.

has done a thesis on the subject and has perhaps produced the catalogue.

:26:10.:26:15.

They may well be able to pursue a certificate of authenticity. It

:26:16.:26:19.

comes down to what the market accepts as the expertise. The

:26:20.:26:24.

Chagall Committee said this painting was an imitation of the Reclining

:26:25.:26:36.

Nude of 1911. They said the body was devoid of sculptural expression, the

:26:37.:26:40.

arms awkward and out of kilter. It is, they said, drab and unrealistic.

:26:41.:26:47.

Buying a forgery is an occupational hazard for any art collector. Even

:26:48.:26:53.

museums have been caught out. It can be embarrassing and expensive to be

:26:54.:26:57.

duped. Having your artwork confiscated and destroyed, well,

:26:58.:27:00.

that must be heartbreaking. Time for a look at the weather. Here's Matt

:27:01.:27:02.

Taylor. Nothing fake about the satellite

:27:03.:27:12.

picture behind me. This is the next big thing of low pressure bringing

:27:13.:27:17.

stormy conditions to our shores. Before it arrives, we do have

:27:18.:27:21.

clouded with us. That has been producing rain across western areas.

:27:22.:27:28.

The rain extends through the Irish Sea and into eastern parts of

:27:29.:27:31.

Northern Ireland and western Scotland. The whole system is

:27:32.:27:34.

pushing its way northwards and eastwards. It will produce snow on

:27:35.:27:39.

the tops of the Pennines and the Scottish mountains. There will be

:27:40.:27:42.

heavy and thundery showers pushing in. In the clear spells, we will see

:27:43.:27:50.

temperatures drop low enough for frost and ice, particularly in

:27:51.:27:53.

Scotland, Ireland and northern England. It would be a damp start.

:27:54.:28:00.

Elsewhere heavy, thundery showers. The emphasis will be on a few

:28:01.:28:06.

showers tomorrow. Many will have a predominantly dry day. Whilst most

:28:07.:28:10.

of you will finish the day dry, not the case across Devon and Cornwall.

:28:11.:28:16.

This is the area of cloud which, by Tuesday night, winds itself up into

:28:17.:28:22.

a vigorous pressure system. The wind will strengthen again into Wednesday

:28:23.:28:25.

morning. Severe gales will be possible, maybe 80 miles an hour. We

:28:26.:28:29.

will see high tides as well around the West and the potential for

:28:30.:28:35.

coastal flooding. A little bit of sunshine between the showers. It

:28:36.:28:40.

will not feel anything special. A low-pressure system will push into

:28:41.:28:42.

the North West of Scotland by the time we go into Thursday. We will

:28:43.:28:48.

still see some rain. Drier and brighter weather for a time. It will

:28:49.:28:52.

feel fresh in the breeze. More rain on Thursday

:28:53.:28:53.
