The Prime Minister urges MPs to unite behind his draft deal

:00:00.:00:07.

The proposals received a mixed reception in the Commons,

:00:08.:00:19.

has the Prime Minister done enough to win over MPs from his own side?

:00:20.:00:22.

Europe is about working together to advance our shared security. It is

:01:41.:01:53.

Good evening and welcome to the News at Six.

:01:54.:01:56.

David Cameron has called on MPs to support his draft deal on reforms

:01:57.:01:59.

In a statement to the House of Commons he said the government

:02:00.:02:04.

had reached an "important milestone" in its attempt to change Britain's

:02:05.:02:07.

The draft proposal includes a limit on benefits to EU citizens working

:02:08.:02:14.

in Britain but critics say it falls far short of the ban

:02:15.:02:17.

Mr Cameron also says he is looking at measures to strengthen

:02:18.:02:28.

If the Prime Minister has such a good deal on Europe, some of his

:02:29.:02:35.

colleagues are, well, a bit shy at giving it their full support. The

:02:36.:02:39.

Prime Minister is making the best of a bad job. I regret to inform you

:02:40.:02:43.

that my position is still what it was yesterday morning. Let's wait

:02:44.:02:52.

and see when this whole thing is agreed, and try and see what it

:02:53.:02:59.

really means, every bit of it. Very nice to see you. They are not

:03:00.:03:02.

allowed to criticise it yet but they could say they are behind him. So

:03:03.:03:07.

the Prime Minister sped off to make his case to the Commons. We will

:03:08.:03:12.

never be part of the euro, never be part of the Schengen zone, never be

:03:13.:03:16.

part of a European armour, never be forced to bail out the Eurozone with

:03:17.:03:23.

our taxpayers money, and never be part of a Euro superstate. A clear

:03:24.:03:26.

path that can lead to a fresh settlement for Britain in a reformed

:03:27.:03:31.

European union. The Prime Minister says he secured Britain's exclusion

:03:32.:03:36.

from Schengen, a European army and a European superstate. The Prime

:03:37.:03:41.

Minister is living in a never-never land, we have never argued for those

:03:42.:03:45.

things and don't intend to. We need to work with our allies in Europe to

:03:46.:03:50.

achieve the more progressive reforms people need to build a more

:03:51.:03:55.

democratic Europe. There was upset from Tory Eurosceptics, but less

:03:56.:03:59.

fierce than you would expect. Rather than just rearranging the deck

:04:00.:04:04.

chairs, wouldn't it be better to direct the British people to the

:04:05.:04:07.

available lifeboat while the band is still playing before the inevitable

:04:08.:04:12.

happens? The thin gruel has been further watered down, Mr Speaker. My

:04:13.:04:16.

right honourable friend has a fortnight in which to salvage his

:04:17.:04:21.

reputation as a negotiator. Some are frustrated because the Prime

:04:22.:04:24.

Minister has not delivered all of this, the Tory manifesto where he

:04:25.:04:33.

promised ending benefits for migrants. You promised a ban, but

:04:34.:04:37.

what the draft deal achieves is limits, in every other walk of life

:04:38.:04:41.

we have to come from ice, why don't you accept it is a compromise? It is

:04:42.:04:46.

a negotiation and I am happy to be judged on what we set out in our

:04:47.:04:50.

manifesto. Do you accept there is a difference? I am very happy to be

:04:51.:04:55.

judged on what we have achieved, big progress for Britain on things

:04:56.:04:57.

people previously said were impossible. You wouldn't get a

:04:58.:05:01.

restriction on benefits, you wouldn't have a four-year deal, you

:05:02.:05:04.

wouldn't be able to address these issues. We have done that. We are

:05:05.:05:09.

careful in saying, I'm not trying to kick over the table, walk out the

:05:10.:05:13.

door and say I'm not going to speak to these people unless I get every

:05:14.:05:17.

demand under the sun. I said here are the things we need and we are

:05:18.:05:21.

well on our way to fixing them. So you accept you are on your way to

:05:22.:05:25.

fixing them rather than achieving what you promised? We haven't yet

:05:26.:05:29.

got this achievement fixed, this is a draft. We have to work very hard

:05:30.:05:33.

in the next two weeks to get this deal. With no less fuss than usual,

:05:34.:05:38.

if a less flamboyant haircut, senior Tories like Boris Johnson have been

:05:39.:05:42.

pushing Mr Cameron for something else as well. Perhaps I can ask the

:05:43.:05:47.

Prime Minister how these changes as a result of this negotiation will

:05:48.:05:51.

change the treaty so as to assert the sovereignty of this House of

:05:52.:05:55.

Commons and of these Houses of Parliament. In other words a law

:05:56.:05:59.

that would say that our Parliament, not the European Court, is in

:06:00.:06:03.

charge. Can you confirm ministers are working on a new British law

:06:04.:06:07.

that would make clear it is more important than EU law, and that

:06:08.:06:12.

would be published in February? If there is more we can do to make

:06:13.:06:14.

clear parliamentary sovereignty and to reform our situation in terms of

:06:15.:06:19.

the Human Rights Act I would be keen to do that. Do you deny that

:06:20.:06:23.

ministers are working on such a proposal that you expect to publish

:06:24.:06:28.

alongside it? I've answered the question quite clearly. Not quite.

:06:29.:06:33.

That's the answer you are getting. Do you want this to appear like a

:06:34.:06:41.

fair race? Of course. So why are you allowed to be out there leading when

:06:42.:06:45.

your colleagues are expected to be silent? Because the negotiation has

:06:46.:06:50.

not finished. Once those terms are agreed and once there has been a

:06:51.:06:55.

cabinet meeting on the basis of whether we should stay, then of

:06:56.:06:59.

course cabinet ministers who want to campaign in the other direction are

:07:00.:07:03.

able to. Trying to keep his party together in the next couple of

:07:04.:07:07.

months is a preoccupation for the Prime Minister. Keeping the UK

:07:08.:07:09.

inside the European Union is a bigger pressure, still.

:07:10.:07:13.

Laura, David Cameron says this draft deal will change Britain's

:07:14.:07:18.

relationship with the European Union, what are your assessments,

:07:19.:07:22.

has he done enough to persuade MPs? It felt like this should been have a

:07:23.:07:26.

big occasion in Parliament. Think of hours, days and months when there

:07:27.:07:31.

has been, maybe not blood, but certainly sweat and tears as MPs

:07:32.:07:34.

have torn each other apart over our relationship with the European

:07:35.:07:38.

Union. Today it was in comparison a relatively polite affair. Not

:07:39.:07:43.

because MPs think it is a marvellous deal and he has solved all the

:07:44.:07:47.

problems in the world, art partly because the Prime Minister has

:07:48.:07:50.

silenced his ministers, some of those who favour exit at this point.

:07:51.:07:54.

And also because behind the scenes he has been working very hard to try

:07:55.:07:59.

to get MPs onside. Now, when we come to the campaign proper, because this

:08:00.:08:03.

is still a bit of a phoney war, it may feel very different. He may well

:08:04.:08:09.

be under much more pressure. Let's face it, most members of the public

:08:10.:08:12.

are not going to make up their mind on staying or leaving the European

:08:13.:08:16.

Union based on how much the Tories are slapping each other round the

:08:17.:08:20.

chops in Parliament. But that said the atmosphere here does make a

:08:21.:08:23.

difference to the whole climate around the campaign. And so far

:08:24.:08:27.

number ten is managing to keep a lid on at least the public side of

:08:28.:08:30.

dissent in the ranks. Laura, thanks very much.

:08:31.:08:33.

His disappearance has gripped the nation for decades and prompted

:08:34.:08:36.

suspected sightings around the world.

:08:37.:08:37.

Now more than 40 years after Lord Lucan vanished,

:08:38.:08:39.

his only son has been granted a death certificate by the High

:08:40.:08:42.

Lord Lucan was never seen again after the nanny to his three

:08:43.:08:46.

children was murdered at the family home in 1974.

:08:47.:08:48.

The mystery of Lord Lucan, an unsolved murder and subsequent

:08:49.:08:58.

It remains one of Britain's most notorious crimes.

:08:59.:09:05.

And this is his son, George Bingham, who today

:09:06.:09:08.

became the new Lord Lucan and the eighth Earl of Lucan.

:09:09.:09:14.

The judge's decision to issue a death certificate

:09:15.:09:16.

declaring his father dead meant he could now inherited

:09:17.:09:20.

the title after years of personal anguish.

:09:21.:09:22.

In the circumstances, I think it is quite possible

:09:23.:09:26.

that he saw his life at an end, regardless

:09:27.:09:28.

of guilt or otherwise and being dragged through the courts

:09:29.:09:33.

and the media would have destroyed his personal life.

:09:34.:09:37.

And the chances of getting custody of his children back. And that may

:09:38.:09:42.

well have pushed a man to end his own life. Sandra Rivette was a nanny

:09:43.:09:48.

to the Lucan children. She was found brutally murdered in November 1974

:09:49.:09:53.

in the family home in Belgravia, in London. Lord Lucan's estranged wife

:09:54.:09:57.

was also attacked but survived the assault. He then vanished.

:09:58.:10:04.

was also attacked but survived the Sussex the following day. The police

:10:05.:10:08.

found no trace of him. There were whispers he was being protected by

:10:09.:10:11.

his aristocratic friends and had left the country. Events at

:10:12.:10:16.

his aristocratic friends and had house still provoke speculation and

:10:17.:10:18.

often wild theories more than 40 years on. In law, Lord Lucan is now

:10:19.:10:24.

presumed dead. At the rumours about his whereabouts and what happened

:10:25.:10:25.

here are unlikely to end. his whereabouts and what happened

:10:26.:10:32.

the family of Sandra Rivette, also in court today, there is no closure.

:10:33.:10:37.

I think there will be justice for Sandra when we just know we can put

:10:38.:10:42.

the last pieces together and realised that Lucan was involved,

:10:43.:10:45.

which obviously he is, because you wouldn't disappear for 41 years if

:10:46.:10:50.

you were innocent of something, would you? The Metropolitan Police

:10:51.:10:54.

still considered the Lord Lucan case open but they have no active lines

and difficult journeys home Our China correspondent

John Sudworth reports. This week, Guangjo train station has

:12:14.:12:22.

looked more like the venue although it has

:12:23.:12:25.

been a lot less fun. These extraordinary

:12:26.:12:30.

scenes of congestion are being blamed on the sheer weight

:12:31.:12:34.

of numbers, as well as bad weather. Many of the stranded

:12:35.:12:40.

are migrant workers, desperate to get home

:12:41.:12:43.

after months away. I think about my parents at home

:12:44.:12:46.

and I feel very warm But adding to the holiday woes this

:12:47.:13:03.

year is a far larger concern. China's industrial

:13:04.:13:12.

landscape is changing. The factories, once the centrepiece

:13:13.:13:17.

of this economy, are relocating So, many migrants are packing

that's now being completed. More than 70 world leaders

will gather in London tomorrow to try to raise over ?6 billion

:15:05.:15:07.

to help the millions who've been affected by the conflict

:15:08.:15:09.

in Syria. 4.5 million people have fled

:15:10.:15:12.

the fighting and one of the countries most affected

:15:13.:15:14.

is Syria's neighbour, Lebanon. Lebanon is around the size

:15:15.:15:17.

of North Yorkshire, but it's home to over

:15:18.:15:20.

a million refugees. Clive Myrie is in the

:15:21.:15:23.

village of Ketermaya. Fiona, it is pretty bad. Consider

:15:24.:15:41.

this, the town of Ketermaya has a population of around 20000 and close

:15:42.:15:45.

to a quarter of those people are Syrian refugees, a huge number when

:15:46.:15:51.

you consider the UK as a whole took in 1,000 Syrians last year, so

:15:52.:15:54.

imagine the pressure on social services here, schools and so on.

:15:55.:15:59.

And as I have been finding out, to make things worse, the new arrivals

:16:00.:16:02.

are pretty much locked out of the Labour market, they can't work.

This man says he wants to work but it is tough.

:16:20.:16:21.

He would get less than ?10 a day and there are too few jobs anyway.

:16:22.:16:27.

Vouchers secure a bag of supplies, but this isn't Government help.

:16:28.:16:31.

Countries like Britain say they want the labour market opened up

:16:32.:16:37.

so more refugees can work and they won't try to head for Europe,

:16:38.:16:41.

but Lebanon argues the neighbouring war

:16:42.:16:43.

has wrecked growth and there aren't enough jobs for their own people.

on that very scheme. As a child protection

officer, for her, this specially adapted vehicle

is vital. I can't physically

get out without it. Born without thigh bones,

Denise says she cannot walk more And I can't even walk

to work, so I would have

:20:55.:20:56.

to give my job up. 360,000 people like Denise

are being reassessed as part called Personal

Independence Payments. Denise was told she is

no longer disabled enough to receive the money that

the assessment process? There are millions of

people in the system. If you don't get the decision that

which gives you that opportunity to think well, actually,

my occupational therapist or my physio and my GP

allows for an appeal so you have got opportunities

Leicester City Jamie Vardy's long-range volley

we are free of the pressure, we enjoy doing the training

that was bottom of the table Back then, the idea that Leicester

could win the league would have seemed

utterly unthinkable. Football has seen some

that's for sure. games against Manchester City and

Arsenal. But for now, this footballing fairy

tale shows no sign of ending. You know, it has been relatively

:24:16.:24:34.

quiet at the last day also, Chile, not perishing really cold, but it

:24:35.:24:38.

has been cold, and things will change now, we have milder weather

:24:39.:24:43.

on the way and at the end of the week, the weekend and into next week

:24:44.:24:46.

is looking really turbulent, some potentially nasty weather once poor,

:24:47.:24:50.

but for the time being, it is cloud coming in of the Atlantic, all of

:24:51.:24:55.

that cloud will be over us in the next 24 hours. Here is the rain

:24:56.:24:58.

crossing the country through the course of the evening and overnight,

:24:59.:25:02.

a little bit of snow across the upland areas of Northern Britain but

:25:03.:25:08.

by the early part of the morning, milder air coming off the Atlantic

:25:09.:25:10.

sofa places like Plymouth, double figures first thing in the morning

:25:11.:25:14.

and for the early birds, and overcast and damp start but still

:25:15.:25:17.

chilly across the north-east, the cold air is not going away, pretty

:25:18.:25:25.

raw across the eastern coasts and north-east of Scotland but for Wales

:25:26.:25:28.

and most of England, you will feel the mild air coming in and the mild

:25:29.:25:32.

south-westerly is continuing to Friday, a bit of brightness in

:25:33.:25:37.

eastern areas but for the West, we are forecasting rain, so from

:25:38.:25:41.

anywhere from Belfast and Glasgow and Friday night, all of us should

:25:42.:25:45.

see some rain. Double figures for the end of the week across most of

:25:46.:25:48.

the UK. I will show you the weather maps for the weekend because things

:25:49.:25:52.

will be changing quite a bit, a lot happening, so have to pace yourself.

:25:53.:25:57.

One area of low pressure coming in on Saturday night into Sunday, a bit

:25:58.:26:02.

of a break and then, wow, look at this, I have to get out of the way,

:26:03.:26:08.

a huge area of low pressure which will bring some very unsettled and

:26:09.:26:10.

blustery weather, lots of showers, so be steady with those umbrellas

:26:11.:26:13.

through the course of the weekend and into next week, so the word is

:26:14.:26:17.

very, very unsettled weather on the way.
