Jose Mourinho is sacked as Chelsea's manager | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
after a disastrous start to the season. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
From triumph just seven months ago, when he led his team | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
to the Premier League title, to this, no longer the special one, | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
as Mourinho is driven away from the club's training ground. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
He's been a good manager here, he's done well, and his time is up. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
I think they've treated him badly, to be honest. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
I think the players should be ashamed of thems also. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Chelsea has sacked their most successful manager, Jose Mourinho, | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
after a terrible start to the season. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
The man who dubbed himself the Special One | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
led his team to Premier League triumph in May. | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
the club has seen a complete reversal of fortune. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Chelsea have lost nine of their 16 games this season | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
and are now just one point away from the relegation zone. | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
Joe. Yeah, you may have been watching, reading, listening a few | :02:06. | :02:19. | |
hours ago as BBC Sport through Dan Roan revealed that the deed had been | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
done. We had begun to wonder what Roman Abramovich was waiting for, | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
the delay, I'm sure down to Jose Mourinho's unique status at Chelsea, | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
but so strained had relations become between manager and players, in | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
particular, that even a volley to seemed preferable to Mourinho. -- -- | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
void. Jose Mourinho leaving Chelsea today, | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
unwilling even to be seen. Remember, he had begun his second | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
spell at the club with a promise This time, he said, | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
he would be happy. Well, look at him this | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
season, happiness lives It became Mourinho versus | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
the world, with his own players, in Mourinho's mind, | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
even betraying his work. If that made the end | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
inevitable, officially Chelsea | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
say the parting was mutual. In reference to Mourinho, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
their statement reads: Is three titles over two spells | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
makes in the most successful manager in our 110 year history. But both | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Jose and the board have agreed results have not been good enough | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go | :03:29. | :03:29. | |
our separate ways. Three in the box for Mahrez. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
He curls it in. On Monday night, Mourinho watched | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
a team in blue play with tenacity, If that defeat sealed | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
Mourinho's fate with the owner, not every supporter | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
at Stamford Bridge today We have come all the way here, | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
we are from Lancashire, and we have found out | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
he has gone. At the end of the day, | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
he has been a good manager here, he has done well but his time is up, | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
everyone has their time I think they have treated him badly, | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
to be honest, the players Only the Chelsea players themselves | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
really know if Mourinho was right So Roman Abramovich | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
must find another manager. Money to him has never been | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
an issue, but what is he selling Come to a club on the brink | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
of the relegation zone they will play Chelsea | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
without Mourinho. I am shocked, to say the least, | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
they must have already somebody lined up, to have done it now, | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
they must have somebody paid to take over the reins, whether that be | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
short-term or long-term, I suppose we will find | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
out very quickly, Chelsea's decline | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
has been staggering. After two goes out | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
the job, Mourinho must now be part of their history, | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
but after leaving an apparently demotivated, declining team, where, | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
any successor may ask What now? Guus Hiddink has been | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
tipped as a temporary option, but surely general Sisi need a long-term | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
strategy to recapture all the ground they have lost. -- Chelsea need. We | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
need immediate future, their regular media conference scheduled for | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
tomorrow has been cancelled. Joe, thank you. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
The President of the European Council has warned David Cameron | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
that some of his proposals for reform ahead of a referendum | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
on British membership of the EU are unacceptable. | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
David Cameron wants changes to protect the power of national | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
parliaments to make the EU more competitive and cut red tape | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
and to protect countries that don't use the euro from decisions | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
But most controversially, he wants to ban | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
in-work benefits for migrants for four years. | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
And that's proving to be a sticking point for EU leaders. | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
Sobey, nearly three years ago now, David Cameron made a very big | :06:14. | :06:28. | |
problems, which was also a big risk. -- Sophie. He promised to change the | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
rules of the whole European Union and then give us a vote on whether | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
we wanted to stay. Tonight is its first major chance to get the other | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
27 political leaders onto his side. There is a very big problem already | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
- he is determined to cut back the benefits that workers from Spain, | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Poland or Hungary can get if they work in the UK, but it is very hard | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
to find anyone else in this place who agrees with him. | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
Having an entourage - shiny cars, lots of staff - | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
The Prime Minister is walking into a fight, maybe a trap, | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
We are not pushing for a deal tonight, but we are pushing for real | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
momentum so that we can get this deal done, so I'm going to be | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
battling hard for Britain right through the night, | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
and I think we'll be getting a good deal. | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
Are you prepared to back down on some of | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
your proposals on benefits, Prime Minister? | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
He won't answer yet because he can't. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
The Prime Minister wants to change how Europe works, | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
cut back benefits for EU workers in Britain. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
But he needs all the other European leaders to agree. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
It's legitimate to listen to the British Prime Minister | :07:39. | :07:48. | |
but unacceptable to revise founding European commitments, | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
proposals to restrict benefits for your people in the UK? | :07:53. | :08:06. | |
As far as I know, David Cameron's proposals | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Three are supportable, easy for us, basically we agree. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Some parts of the British proposals seem unacceptable. | :08:14. | :08:26. | |
It's about Brexit, but I think this is no time for exit in Europe, | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
The real business, of course, is done behind closed doors. | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
That's why there's this frantic atmosphere, scouring for clues | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
of anything that said outside, but listening to leader after leader | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
as they arrive, the odds seem against David Cameron. | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
The German leader, Europe's decider, said, we would like | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
to keep Britain in the EU but at the same time | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
don't want to limit basic liberties. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
Yet it's even been hard for David Cameron | :09:01. | :09:13. | |
to elbow his arguments adamant onto the table. | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
EU leaders are trying to concentrate on the migrant crisis. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
But while the desire to help is genuine, | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
the clash over benefits is very real. | :09:23. | :09:23. | |
So far there is nothing in the nitty-gritty | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
that even these power brokers can agree. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
And look who else is in town today - the Labour leader, sensing perhaps | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
David Cameron is taking the biggest gamble of his career. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
But he's come here for an argument without being | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
Why can't he just say, well, actually, this argument really | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
belongs within the Conservative Party, and perhaps the | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
Conservative Party should sort out what their problem is first? | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
It was pressure in his own party that pushed the Prime Minister | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
changing the UK's relationship with the EU, | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
then giving you a vote to stay or go. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
But looking around this room, trying to get | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
nearly 30 countries on side, politics at home | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
There is going to have to be compromise on one side or another, | :10:02. | :10:15. | |
but there is precious little sign of idiot. So far tonight it is | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
stand-off, with David Cameron and the other leaders about two sets | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
down to dinner where they will discuss these tricky issues. | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
Remember, this is a negotiation, and at the beginning of any hard | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
negotiation, few people are willing to show their real hand. | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
81 people have been convicted of being part of the largest | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
car-insurance fraud network ever seen in the UK in a series of trials | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
obtained by Gwent Police, shows a vehicle being driven | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
into a forklift truck to make it look | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
The scam cost the insurance industry more than ?750,000. | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
The head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
has been ordered to stand trial in France for alleged negligence | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
over a compensation payment to a businessman. | :11:05. | :11:05. | |
when she was French Finance Minister. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
Her lawyer says she denies any wrongdoing | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
and will appeal against the decision in the next few days. | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
A review is to be held into how the NHS investigates deaths | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
following a damning report into a mental-health trust. | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
Southern Health has been strongly criticised for failing to carry out | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
proper investigations into hundreds of unexpected deaths - | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
as the BBC exclusively revealed last week. | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
Today, as the official report was published, | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
the chief executive of Southern Health apologised unreservedly | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
and said improvements had to be made. | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan reports. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
We've spoken to all their families, who say failures by Southern Health | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
Most say a lack of compassion afterwards from the trust added | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
Nico Reed died in 2012 - he choked to death on his own vomit | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
after being left unchecked for longer than he should have been. | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
Southern Health were not his care provider | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
but were responsible for investigating his death. | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
His mother, whose case is highlighted in today's report, | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
is appalled by how they've been treated. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
and we were so unimportant to them, they literally didn't care. | :12:23. | :12:33. | |
They didn't care enough to even engage with us. | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
We were nothing to them, and we were just brushed aside. | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
The trust wrote to them, saying they'd carried | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
out an initial assessment but decided not to involve the family. | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
An independent investigation has now been ordered. | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
it will be over four years since Nico died. | :12:52. | :13:04. | |
Today's report reveals significant widespread problems | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
Last week, we obtained a leaked version of the report which said | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
there were 1454 unexpected deaths over a four-year period. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
Of those, more than 1,100 were not investigated. | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
But in today's published report, half of those deaths | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
have been reclassified as expected death incidents. | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
That still leaves over 700 unexpected deaths, | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
of which 450 were never investigated. | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
NHS England said it had approved complex to decide what was and was | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
not an unexpected debt. They head of southern England met me today. The | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
report says a failure of governance led to too few deaths being | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
investigated. You must have considered resigning. Let me be | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
clear, our board and myself are very clear that over this four year | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
period which this report looks at our investigations and reporting | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
processes, we are clear that we did not get it right. We have made a lot | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
of improvements... Why are you not resigning? The buck stops with you, | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
you have to take responsibility for the failures. We have made a lot of | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
improvements already, and our nurses and doctors of a very compassionate | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
end of life care to many people, they offer high quality services. So | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
no resignations, but that does not been no change. The regulator will | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
come here in the New Year and carry out an inspection. They are also | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
going to carry out a broader piece of work looking at how deaths are | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
investigated, because the fear is that the issues investigated yet may | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
be more widespread across the system. NHS England said that | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
Southern Health have lost the confidence of a number of families. | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
Rebuilding trust after such scathing criticisms will require more time | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Jose Mourinho is sacked as Chelsea's BBC News, Southampton. | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
manager after a disastrous start to the season. | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
the Government's new plan to reshape our sporting future. | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
And coming up on Reporting Scotland at 6.30: | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
The Celtic and Rangers managers agree | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
that expanding Scotland's top flight could benefit the game. | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
And it may look like a dinky donkey derby, | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
but it's actually the Grand National for Shetland ponies. | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
More than 100,000 children could be facing Christmas in temporary | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
accommodation - some in places like hostels and B - | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
after a rise in the number of families asking for help | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
Many of them have lost their homes after being evicted. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
The latest figures show that in September this year, | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
almost 69,000 households in England were in temporary accommodation. | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
That's 13% more than September last year. | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
Jeremy Cooke has been to meet three families facing an uncertain future. | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
The last moments before another family is made homeless. | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
She and ten-year-old Ellie have packed their bags. | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
But there's no real preparation for when the bailiff | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
Did you need a photocopy of your eviction notice? | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
And with that, quietly, they are out. | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
Akoua, a full-time hospital cleaner, is inside for hours | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
explaining how she couldn't afford the rent, had no tenancy agreement | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
and so no housing benefit, but was finally evicted. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
Her support worker has seen it all before. | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
Homelessness touches everybody, so it doesn't matter | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
if you're working full time or if you are on benefits, | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
the situation is if the landlord wants | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
there's not very much you can do. | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
Akoua is offered emergency overnight accommodation. | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
Those evicted generally only qualify for help if they are vulnerable | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
Across town, the Kara family know that | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
Diresh and Jeilan and the three girls lost their home four years | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
ago, and that began the miserable trail of temporary accommodation, | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
We had to spend three nights in the car while they | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
were investigating, you know, whether we were intentionally | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
homeless, whether they had a duty of care, so we had nowhere | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
Today's numbers say nearly 69,000 households in England now live | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
The family here has been moved seven times. | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
The stink of damp is everywhere | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
A working family with an uncertain future. | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
It is like waiting for life to begin, basically. | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
You come home, every day you are thinking you will get | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
a phone call saying we have to move next week. | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
We don't have any fixtures on the wall, we don't put | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
any pictures up, there is hardly anything in the front room, | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
because you are always constantly ready for | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
An acute shortage of social housing is | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
a nationwide problem, a London crisis. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
When we spoke to Harrow Council, they were struggling to house 1,000 | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
families with only 35 available properties. | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
It's a disastrous situation, we are having more and | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
more numbers coming into the same situation | :18:45. | :18:45. | |
The Council are doing the best job we possibly can to make sure | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
these people have a roof over their heads, but it's not | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
a home, it's a roof over their heads, and that's | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
the trouble, because it is destroying communities | :18:57. | :18:57. | |
Eviction levels are high and rising, up 30% in the last three years. | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
And across London, yet another family is waiting | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
I just don't want to move house or, like, | :19:09. | :19:21. | |
I don't know which place I'm heading to. | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
The housing charity Shelter says thousands of families will be | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
and blames a chronic lack of affordable housing. | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
The Government insists there will be more money to tackle the issue | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
and that it's committed to helping the most vulnerable in society. | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
Members of the Democratic Unionist Party are gathering in Belfast | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
Arlene Foster is standing unopposed and will become Northern Ireland's | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
first female First Minister in the New Year. | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
She's only the third leader of the DUP in its 45-year history. | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
Chris Buckler is at the hotel where the party is meeting. | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
There'll be no surprises about the outcome - | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
but what are the challenges for her in the new job? | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
Yes, this isn't a contest, it is a coronation, Arlene Foster will leave | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
here is DUP leader. Her political career began after a childhood that | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
was affected by violence in Northern Ireland. The IRA tried to kill her | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
father and she herself as a teenager was on a school bus which had a bomb | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
exploded under it. Now, she will go into the role of First Minister in | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
January to sit alongside Martin McGuinness as Deputy First Minister, | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
of course, Martin McGuinness of Sinn Fein, the party with historical | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
links to the IRA and the relationship between the parties is | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
of course crucial to the success of power-sharing here. There are | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
challenges for the party, as you mention. They are facing an election | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
in a matter of months to the the Vamps Assembly and there are | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
questions about which direction she will lead the party -- the Stormont | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
Assembly. Will be tough on things like blocking the introduction of | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
same-sex marriage in Ireland or will she soften their stance? It is | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
remarkable to think that since this party was formed at the start of the | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
1970s, only two people have led it, Ian Paisley and Peter Robinson and | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
tonight, Arlene Foster's name is added to that list. | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
A 17-year-old boy from the UK has been killed on a skiing holiday | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
The teenager was with a group of friends when he lost control | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
According to French police, he was going down too fast | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
despite signs asking for skiers to slow down | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
Almost all cancers are caused by environmental factors | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
and lifestyle choices - like smoking and drinking too much | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
alcohol - that's according to the latest research | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
But the new study is at odds with a report earlier this year | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
which indicated that most cancers were down to bad luck and the result | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
There are choices we can all make to cut our risk of cancer, | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
most importantly not smoking, having a balanced diet and not | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
getting obese, and protecting our skin from sun damage. | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
But what proportion of cancers are really down to lifestyle, | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
The biggest cancer killer of women in the UK is lung cancer. | :22:23. | :22:34. | |
Victoria Hurd lost her mum to the disease last year. | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
As with most cases, she had been a committed smoker. | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
It is the second Christmas without my mum and it is devastating | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
to know that my little boy won't really remember my mum | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
when he grows up, so when I look at young women smoking, | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
I think they are absolutely crazy, because they are going to pay | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
the price 30 years down the line because they possibly | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
Every family in the UK has been touched by cancer. | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
There are 2.5 million people in the UK living | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
When it comes to bad luck or lifestyle, researchers | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
in New York mathematically modelled cancer incidents and conclude that | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
between 70-90% of cases are the result of environmental | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
factors, and just 10-30% are down to bad luck. | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
That contradicts other US research from January which claimed that | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
The latest research team say an unhealthy lifestyle | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
is like playing Russian roulette with your health. | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
There is an element of luck whether a person gets cancer or not. | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
But if someone smokes or is exposed to other external factors, | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
then that is like adding two or three more bullets to the gun | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
and therefore there is still an element of luck but the odds now | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
Old age is the biggest risk factor for cancer and while none | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
of us can hold back time, a healthy lifestyle will lower our | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
odds of getting cancer and a host of other diseases. | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
Why is it proving so difficult to get more people - | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
young and old - to take up sport and get fit? | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
That's a question the Government's still grappling with. | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
Now children as young as five will be targeted | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
Sport England is to share its ?1 billion budget more widely | :24:30. | :24:42. | |
in what's being described as the biggest shake-up | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
of community sport in over a decade. | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
Our Sports Correspondent Katie Gornall reports. | :24:47. | :24:47. | |
A few miles from London's Olympic Park, the fight for the sporting | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
The Sports Minister announced the biggest shakeup of community | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
sport in over a decade, and a plan the Government hopes | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
There are lots of groups that provide support to communities, | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
where there are perhaps physical or learning difficulties, to older | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
people's groups and we definitely want to encourage that in order to | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
make sure we get more people physically active. Under the | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
Government's plan, money will be diverted from national governing | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
bodies, with more made available to charities and community groups, like | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
this boxing club in north London. And this is what prompted the | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
Government to act. Since 2012, the number of adults playing sport in | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
England has fallen and for 5-10 -year-olds, it has dropped. | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
Previously, Sport England supported those aged over 40 but to tackle the | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
dip, the new strategy will look after children aged five and over | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
outside of school -- aged 14. The battle to secure the legacy remains | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
as tough as ever. Many were welcomed the announcement is a chance for the | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
country to strengthen its relationship with sport while others | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
will suggest the problems are partly the Government's own making. Cuts to | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
local authority budgets and a decline in school sport have also | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
been blamed for disappointing participation figures in the wake of | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
London 2012. Many of our members rely on people being able to take | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
part in their activities in local authority facilities, so if they are | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
more expensive or there are fewer of them, it will make an impact. It is | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
not just enter sports and leisure centres to get people fit, we all | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
have a role to play and the individual has as well. The London | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
Olympics were sold on a promise to inspire a generation. As those | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
memories fade, now comes an attempt to revive its sporting legacy. | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
Some or rather springlike scenes. The weather is ridiculous at the | :26:42. | :26:51. | |
moment, isn't it? Weather watchers have been sending us pictures of | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
daffodils, such as here in Oxfordshire and further north, we | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
have cherry blossom, would you believe? It really is extremely mild | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
for this time of the year. Temperatures today peaked in the | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
south-east of London, London, 16 degrees. The average temperature | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
nearer 7-9. We have some rain across East Anglia and the south-east, that | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
will break and a few showers blown into Western areas. The brisk wind | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
will continue but not a cold night. Not as warm as last night in the | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
south but the most, temperatures remaining in double figures. | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
Tomorrow, breaks in the cloud and tantalising glimpses of the Sun in | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
the east before it clouds over and we see rain pushing into the | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
northern half of the UK. Further south, a few showery bursts early | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
on, across Wales and the south-west, may be fading into the Midlands but | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
mostly dry. It will cloud over in East Anglia after some early | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
sunshine. Some rain the northern England, chiefly the north-west, but | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
it will be wet the most of the day across Northern Ireland, heavy rain | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
into the South and West of Scotland, a couple of inches before it clears | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
away and there will be more rain overnight. This weather front brings | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
the first spell of rain, another one line set up overnight and then | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
stumbles into England and Wales is weak head into Saturday. Saturday, | :28:09. | :28:16. | |
the rain will continue in south-west England and Wales, the heaviest | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
across South Wales. Either side of that, something a bit brighter, | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
still very, very mild on Saturday, those temperatures across the board | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
14 or 15 degrees. Maybe not quite as mild as that on Sunday, a blustery | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
day, again it will be windy, some sunshine and some showers. | :28:34. | :28:34. | |
Thank you. That's all from the BBC News at Six, | :28:35. | :28:37. | |
so it's goodbye from me | :28:38. | :28:40. |
