:00:27. > :00:33.He says a future Labour government would pay for thousands more NHS

:01:55. > :01:57.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:58. > :02:01.In his last conference speech before the general election, the Labour

:02:02. > :02:04.leader, Ed Miliband has set out his stall as a future prime minister.

:02:05. > :02:07.He put the NHS at the heart of his pitch, pledging

:02:08. > :02:13.a fund to pay for tens of thousands more doctors, nurses and midwives.

:02:14. > :02:16.It would be paid for by a "mansion tax", a crackdown on tax avoidance

:02:17. > :02:22.It was, said Mr Miliband, his mission to restore people's

:02:23. > :02:25.Our political editor Nick Robinson reports form the conference

:02:26. > :02:34.His report contains some flash photography. Today marked the start

:02:35. > :02:40.of an eight-month job application, so says Ed Miliband. The role to be

:02:41. > :02:45.filled, Prime Minister. The decision to be taken by you next May.

:02:46. > :02:48.ANNOUNCER: Please welcome the leader of the Labour Party, Ed Miliband.

:02:49. > :02:51.His hope today to prove that politics could make a difference by

:02:52. > :02:56.setting out his goals for a full decade in power. But first the

:02:57. > :02:59.question that has faced every recent Prime Minister, would he be prepared

:03:00. > :03:03.to order British forces to take military action in the Middle East?

:03:04. > :03:11.We support the overnight action against ISIL. What needs to happen

:03:12. > :03:17.now is that the UN needs to play its part, a UN Security Council

:03:18. > :03:19.resolution to win the international support to counter that threat of

:03:20. > :03:23.eyesore. APPLAUSE

:03:24. > :03:27.For now no agreement to the RAF joining air strikes over Iraq or

:03:28. > :03:31.Syria. The big theme of this speech, not the threats the country faces,

:03:32. > :03:36.but his repeated insistence that together the country could build a

:03:37. > :03:39.better future. Together says it's not just a powerful few at the top

:03:40. > :03:43.whose voices should be heard, it's the voice of everyone. Together says

:03:44. > :03:46.it's not just a few wealthy people who create the wealth of our

:03:47. > :03:50.country, it's every working person. Together says we just can't succeed

:03:51. > :03:56.as a country with the talents of a few, we got to use the talents of

:03:57. > :03:59.all. That worked together used more than 50 times. It was a contrast,

:04:00. > :04:06.claims, to the Tories who have left so many to struggle on their own.

:04:07. > :04:09.The deck is stacked, the game is rigged in favour of those who have

:04:10. > :04:12.all the power. Friends, in eight months time we are going to call

:04:13. > :04:17.time on this way of running the country. A speech of well over an

:04:18. > :04:22.hour delivered largely from memory with just the odd note didn't

:04:23. > :04:26.mention the deficit once. But it clearly didn't always excite its

:04:27. > :04:30.audience. What it did do was spell out six goals for ten years of a

:04:31. > :04:36.Miliband premiership, that's right, ten years including one that really

:04:37. > :04:42.did wake them up. It's time to care about our NHS. We

:04:43. > :04:46.need doctors, nurses, midwives, care workers, who are able to spend

:04:47. > :04:51.proper time with us, not rushed off their feet. So we will set aside

:04:52. > :05:03.resources so that we can have in our NHS 3000 more midwives, 8000 more

:05:04. > :05:07.GPs and 20,000 more nurses. The NHS with time to care.

:05:08. > :05:12.They let to their feet for that and his promise of how he would pay for

:05:13. > :05:17.it, by taxing expensive houses, and taxing tobacco firms and hitting tax

:05:18. > :05:22.avoiding hedge funds is to raise ?2.5 billion a year.

:05:23. > :05:26.We built the NHS, we saved the NHS, we are going to repeal the health

:05:27. > :05:30.and social care bill and we are going to transform our NHS for the

:05:31. > :05:35.future. That is what the next Labour government will do. And, friends, we

:05:36. > :05:39.will do it together! APPLAUSE

:05:40. > :05:42.They also loved his attacks on David Cameron, a man he accused of

:05:43. > :05:46.splitting the country in an effort to appease Ukip. He said he was a

:05:47. > :05:51.compassionate conservative before the election and he imposed, the

:05:52. > :05:58.vindictive, the unfair bedroom tax after the election.

:05:59. > :06:05.APPLAUSE David Cameron, you have been found

:06:06. > :06:09.out. Voters, he said, would soon face what he called the most

:06:10. > :06:16.important choice in a generation. We are ready. Labour's plan for

:06:17. > :06:18.Britain's future: Let's make it happen together. Thank you very

:06:19. > :06:22.much. APPLAUSE

:06:23. > :06:25.The question, of course, is whether voters in eight months time will be

:06:26. > :06:30.ready to see him to see them together in number ten. Ed Miliband

:06:31. > :06:34.says he's at the start of an eight-month job interview. He chose

:06:35. > :06:40.not to sell himself but an idea and a symbol of that idea, the NHS. As

:06:41. > :06:44.if to illustrate his theme the Labour leader took the applause with

:06:45. > :06:46.his wife Justine, not on his own but together.

:06:47. > :06:49.Let's talk to our political editor Nick Robinson who's at the Labour

:06:50. > :06:58.You described that speech, or rather Mr Miliband, saying he is on an

:06:59. > :07:04.eight-month job interview now. Was this the speech to get him the job?

:07:05. > :07:07.What was fascinating was what he left off the job application. You

:07:08. > :07:11.might have thought with conversation about military action being taken by

:07:12. > :07:14.the RAF in the Middle East, potentially in the next few days if

:07:15. > :07:17.Parliament is recalled this week, that there would have been a long

:07:18. > :07:21.and detailed explanation of his attitude towards foreign policy.

:07:22. > :07:24.There wasn't. You might have thought with questions about the deficit and

:07:25. > :07:27.how to get the economy moving again they would have been a long speech

:07:28. > :07:45.about the economy but there wasn't. There are also out of other things

:07:46. > :07:48.that often in the last speech before a general election Prime Minister

:07:49. > :07:51.'s, or those who want to be prime ministers, go through a list saying

:07:52. > :07:54.we must be seen to set out our views like a sort of UK version of the

:07:55. > :07:56.State of the union speech on welfare, immigration and other

:07:57. > :07:59.issues but there was nothing to be said at all. I think there is a

:08:00. > :08:02.reason for that. Ed Miliband wanted to sum up the essence of him, the

:08:03. > :08:04.essence of Labour's plan and the essence of what they will offer at

:08:05. > :08:06.the next election. He believes that's a different philosophy and he

:08:07. > :08:08.believes the electorate will reject what he believes is a selfish

:08:09. > :08:11.Toryism that helps the rich and privileged and will opt instead for

:08:12. > :08:16.Labour who don't in his language leave people on their own. That is

:08:17. > :08:19.his belief. Some will attack him. I suspect he will get some bad

:08:20. > :08:23.write-ups in the newspapers tomorrow, but remember this, nobody

:08:24. > :08:26.thought he would get a job as the Labour leader and nobody thought he

:08:27. > :08:30.would be ahead in the polls and on current poll ratings he is due to be

:08:31. > :08:33.our next Prime Minister. Nick Robinson in Manchester, thank you.

:08:34. > :08:36.For the first time America and Arab allies have launched air strikes

:08:37. > :08:38.into Syria against the extremist group, so-called Islamic State.

:08:39. > :08:41.At least 70 IS militants are reported killed long with 50

:08:42. > :08:48.Islamic state has seized large areas of Syria and Iraq, and the US has

:08:49. > :08:54.President Obama has pledged to continue the fight against Islamic

:08:55. > :08:58.state - the group's stronghold of Raaqa in eastern Syria was targeted

:08:59. > :09:10.Five Arab states assisted the US in the operation -

:09:11. > :09:12.significantly, all but one are predominantly sunni muslim

:09:13. > :09:19.Our first report tonight is from our North America

:09:20. > :09:28.When President Obama said there would be no safe place and for

:09:29. > :09:32.Islamic State this time he meant it. This was unleashed on Sunni

:09:33. > :09:36.extremist targets in Syria. From these cruise missiles to fighter

:09:37. > :09:41.aircraft to drones and critically the participation of the air forces

:09:42. > :09:45.of a number of other Arab countries. And in the clear light of day the

:09:46. > :09:51.flattened buildings, the rubble, the twisted metal and chaos, the

:09:52. > :09:54.evidence of what had unfolded. That coalition of Gulf states and Jordan

:09:55. > :09:57.was something that the President stressed when he spoke at the White

:09:58. > :10:01.House this morning. Last night on my orders and

:10:02. > :10:04.America's Armed Forces began strikes against Eisel targets in Syria. The

:10:05. > :10:10.strength of this coalition makes it clear to the world that this is not

:10:11. > :10:13.America's fight alone -- Eisel. Above all the people and governments

:10:14. > :10:18.of the Middle East are rejecting ISIL and standing up for the peace

:10:19. > :10:21.and security that the people in the region and the world deserve. One of

:10:22. > :10:25.the country with an interesting role in the overnight raids is Syria

:10:26. > :10:28.itself. The country's representative at the UN was given the heads up but

:10:29. > :10:34.officials here are keen to stress there was no negotiation. We did not

:10:35. > :10:38.seek the regime's permission, we didn't coordinate our actions, we

:10:39. > :10:45.didn't discuss targets, they say. What is clear is that Syria did not

:10:46. > :10:50.stand in America's way. And that is because the Assad regime has come

:10:51. > :10:53.under sustained attack from Islamic State. The Sunni extremists have

:10:54. > :10:56.taken over Basque swathes of land, so much so that the city of rack Hur

:10:57. > :11:03.has become the effect of headquarters of IS and their

:11:04. > :11:07.playground by the look of it. That explains its targeting in the

:11:08. > :11:11.overnight air strikes -- vast swathes of land. Islamic State was

:11:12. > :11:16.parading its hostage, the freelance journalist John Cantlay, reading

:11:17. > :11:19.under duress from a preprepared script. Senior US politicians seem

:11:20. > :11:25.content to call the Islamic state nasty names, awful, vile, a cancer,

:11:26. > :11:29.an insult to our values. At such petty insults don't really do much

:11:30. > :11:37.harm to the most powerful Jihadist movement seen in recent history. But

:11:38. > :11:41.one notable absentee from this joint action against the jihadists is

:11:42. > :11:45.America's closest ally Britain. David Cameron who is in New York

:11:46. > :11:48.ahead of the UN General Assembly has issued a statement saying that he

:11:49. > :11:54.supports the strikes and will be discussing over the next couple of

:11:55. > :11:57.days what else the UK could do. But the Pentagon which released these

:11:58. > :12:02.videos of the attacks has for the moment the vital support it needs,

:12:03. > :12:05.that of the moderate Sunni states. Jon Sopel, BBC News, Washington.

:12:06. > :12:08.Last night's strikes marked a new chapter in America's fight

:12:09. > :12:11.So who's joined the US in the military action -

:12:12. > :12:14.what's its legal basis - and for how long could the airstrikes continue?

:12:15. > :12:23.Here's our diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall.

:12:24. > :12:29.A bombardment, seemingly out of the blue, but not Damascus bombing

:12:30. > :12:35.Syrian rebels this time but the U.S. Air Force with Arab allies. Critics

:12:36. > :12:38.will call it yet another US led military intervention in a foreign

:12:39. > :12:43.country without UN Security Council approval. At the fanatical followers

:12:44. > :12:47.of the so-called Islamic State used by barbaric methods and they are

:12:48. > :12:53.seen as a threat that could envelop the whole region in chaos. I'm

:12:54. > :12:58.worried that today's strikes were not carried out at the direct

:12:59. > :13:03.request of the Syrian government but I note that the government was

:13:04. > :13:10.informed beforehand. I also note that the strikes took place in areas

:13:11. > :13:14.no longer under the effective control of that government. These

:13:15. > :13:20.attacks are the strongest international response yet to the

:13:21. > :13:25.so-called Islamic State network. Led by the US but also involving Jordan,

:13:26. > :13:31.Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Emirates. Most of them also

:13:32. > :13:40.taking an active military role. The aim is to target these areas. The

:13:41. > :13:45.strikes themselves were carried out by fighters, bombers and unmanned

:13:46. > :13:50.drones. Plus dozens of Tomahawk land attack missiles, a massive barrage.

:13:51. > :13:54.They hit a wide area including rack Hur, which is seen as an IS

:13:55. > :13:58.stronghold. Targets included command and control centres, training camps

:13:59. > :14:02.and even a finance centre used by the extremists. Though it is thought

:14:03. > :14:07.IS dispersed some of its fighters and weapons in anticipation of the

:14:08. > :14:11.attack. Ironically the Syrian President could well benefit from

:14:12. > :14:15.this turn of events. Only a year ago his government was the potential

:14:16. > :14:20.target of US strikes. Now the Americans are taking on some of his

:14:21. > :14:25.enemies for him. It's inevitable that air strikes against ISIS will

:14:26. > :14:28.help the Assad regime. That's just an unintended consequence. We are

:14:29. > :14:33.basically putting our fingers in the mangle of somebody else's Civil War,

:14:34. > :14:36.and you have to do that sometimes. And what of other unintended

:14:37. > :14:40.consequences, curbs on the Turkish border say they are worried that IS

:14:41. > :14:44.fighters are coming their way to flee the air strikes. The refugee

:14:45. > :14:49.crisis there, already hundreds of thousands strong, could get even

:14:50. > :14:56.worse. Bridget Kendall, BBC News. The time is just before 6:15pm.

:14:57. > :15:03.Ed Miliband has set out what he calls a fairer Britain before the

:15:04. > :15:09.general election. Back in the swim -

:15:21. > :15:24.a West Ham fan when the club moves World leaders are being asked to

:15:25. > :15:34.make bold pledges to address climate change at a one-day summit in

:15:35. > :15:36.New York. Opening the gathering

:15:37. > :15:38.of 120 world leaders, the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon,

:15:39. > :15:40.said the global response to climate change will define our future

:15:41. > :15:44.and that a clear vision is needed. The summit aims to build momentum

:15:45. > :15:47.for a new world treaty on reducing Our science editor, David Shukman,

:15:48. > :16:06.reports. From the melting of the ice, in the

:16:07. > :16:11.far north of the Arctic, to the rising sea level threatening

:16:12. > :16:17.low-lying countries like Bangladesh. The dirt storm has hit. The fear of

:16:18. > :16:21.dust storms and drought intensifying in the grain belt of the United

:16:22. > :16:31.States. Climate change is described by the United Nations as potentially

:16:32. > :16:34.devastating. Today the UN called a special summit on global warming.

:16:35. > :16:42.There has been deadlock in negotiations. Maybe some Hollywood

:16:43. > :16:46.star dust could help. I play characters often solving problems. I

:16:47. > :16:51.believe mankind has looked at climate change in that same way. As

:16:52. > :16:54.if it were a fiction. As if pretending that climate change

:16:55. > :17:01.wasn't real would somehow make it go away. The smallest islands say this

:17:02. > :17:06.is a a matter of survival. Pleading for help hasn't really worked. A

:17:07. > :17:12.young mother from the Marshal Islands in the Pacific tried a poem

:17:13. > :17:16.to her baby daughter. They say, your daughter and your granddaughter too

:17:17. > :17:21.will wander rootless with only a passport to call home. Then her

:17:22. > :17:27.daughter was brought on stage. It's not often a baby gets a standing

:17:28. > :17:33.ovation at a UN summit. Getting anywhere on climate change has

:17:34. > :17:42.always been a struggle. The talking starting back in 1992 in Rio.

:17:43. > :17:47.Emissions of carbon dioxide total 28 billion tonnes. Five years later

:17:48. > :17:51.came the Kyoto treaty. By then annual emissions were running at

:17:52. > :18:00.more than 32 billion tonnes and the treaty only covered a few dozen

:18:01. > :18:04.countries anyway. By the time of the Copenhagen summit, emissions were

:18:05. > :18:08.more than 34 billion tonnes and they just keep rising. This year, they

:18:09. > :18:12.are set to climb to more than 40 billion tonnes with no sign yet of a

:18:13. > :18:18.cut, which climate scientists say should happen soon. Carbon dioxide

:18:19. > :18:22.swirling above America, Europe and China. Some countries, cities and

:18:23. > :18:27.companies are cutting emissions on their own. The UN wants a global

:18:28. > :18:29.deal next year. Though there is no guarantee of getting one. David

:18:30. > :18:35.Shukman, BBC News. Experts at the World Health

:18:36. > :18:37.Organisation claim the number of people with Ebola could reach 20,000

:18:38. > :18:40.by November if swift action isn't taken now. Here, it's been revealed

:18:41. > :18:43.that 164 NHS staff have volunteered to go to West Africa as part of the

:18:44. > :18:47.UK's efforts to contain the Ebola crisis there. Over 2,500 people have

:18:48. > :18:56.already died from the disease. A woman and child have died

:18:57. > :18:59.after being hit by a train Both were pronounced dead

:19:06. > :19:13.Dave Lee Travis, has been found He was cleared of a second charge

:19:14. > :19:17.of the same offence. The jury were unable to reach

:19:18. > :19:20.a verdict on a third charge There is some flash photography in

:19:21. > :19:39.this report. Today, a jury found that one of his

:19:40. > :19:54.victims had at least told the truth. In 1995, he indecently assaulted a

:19:55. > :19:59.TV researcher on the day he appeared in the spoof chat show, Mrs Merton.

:20:00. > :20:08.His victim said he grabbed her breasts in a studio corridor.

:20:09. > :20:13.Today's verdict, the end to a career which took DLT to the heights of

:20:14. > :20:18.light entertainment. Top of the Pops and a show on Radio 1 for 25 years.

:20:19. > :20:24.His victim, now an entertainer, is entitled to anonymity. She wasn't

:20:25. > :20:29.the only woman to have been groped by DLT. A journalist, who didn't

:20:30. > :20:32.testify, has spoken about her own experience of meeting the former DJ

:20:33. > :20:43.at his home in 2012. He got me to stand up and I

:20:44. > :20:46.didn't know what was going on. So I stood up, then he pulled me

:20:47. > :20:50.back onto his lap and kissed me. Sort of went (makes noise),

:20:51. > :20:52.like that. I thought - this has never

:20:53. > :20:54.happened to me before. I've had some very aggressive

:20:55. > :20:56.and unpleasant interviewees, but I'd never had, what I class,

:20:57. > :21:02.as a groping. When the Jimmy Savile scandal blew

:21:03. > :21:04.up, Scotland Yard launched Operation Yewtree, investigating

:21:05. > :21:06.historical sex abuse allegations. DLT told the jury he'd no

:27:11. > :27:14.have been a couple of weather fronts. They have produced rain to

:27:15. > :27:18.northern England and Scotland. The cloud will continue to push south

:27:19. > :27:22.this evening and over night tonight, along with the rain. A different

:27:23. > :27:26.picture for tomorrow morning, overcast skies, patchy rain, showers

:27:27. > :27:30.to the north and west. Temperatures around 10-13 degrees. As we start

:27:31. > :27:34.the day. We have some of that patchy rain to clear away by around about

:27:35. > :27:37.lunchtime it should move out into the North Sea and skies will

:27:38. > :27:41.brighten. Still the potential for one or two showers, but many places

:27:42. > :27:44.for the afternoon should be dry and bright. A little bit on the breezy

:27:45. > :27:52.side. We have that north-westerly breeze. For south-west England we

:27:53. > :27:54.will see sunshine with temperatures 17-18 degrees. The showers to the

:27:55. > :27:59.south-east giving us an idea there is the potential for one or two

:28:00. > :28:03.around. A good deal of dry weather with afternoon brightness,

:28:04. > :28:06.Manchester seeing 16. Temperatures for Northern Ireland 14-15. Around

:28:07. > :28:12.average across parts of Scotland where it will be dry and bright with

:28:13. > :28:16.patchy cloud. Through Thursday we keep high pressure building to the

:28:17. > :28:21.south. Weak weather fronts in the north will keep things more overcast

:28:22. > :28:25.here. We could see patchy light rain and drizzle around. Further south

:28:26. > :28:30.it's more than likely to stay dry with brightness around. Northern

:28:31. > :28:33.areas overcast, fortunes changing on Friday, Scotland and Northern

:28:34. > :28:37.Ireland enjoying brighter skies. Further south, warm it will be quite

:28:38. > :28:41.cloudy. A good deal of dry weather throughout the weekend. It will be

:28:42. > :28:43.rather over cast at times. It should stay fairly warm. Fiona.
