:01:40. > :01:42.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
:01:43. > :01:45.David Cameron is promising the biggest reform of the prison
:01:46. > :01:53.In a speech today he called the failures of prisons
:01:54. > :01:55.in England and Wales - with high levels of violence
:01:56. > :01:59.Six new 'reform prisons' are to replace
:02:00. > :02:07.GPS tags could be fitted to non violent criminals,
:02:08. > :02:10.so they go home during the week, or on day release.
:02:11. > :02:12.And prison league tables would be published -
:02:13. > :02:15.and those with the lowest level of re-offending could get more cash.
:02:16. > :02:22.Here's our Home Affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford.
:02:23. > :02:29.David Cameron this morning, walking into a prison system where violence
:02:30. > :02:33.is rising, murders are at record levels and the number of prisoners
:02:34. > :02:38.reoffending after their prison time remains stubbornly high. A system
:02:39. > :02:43.that sometimes works but often does not. We need a prison system that
:02:44. > :02:48.does not see prisoners as liabilities to be managed but as
:02:49. > :02:53.potential assets to be harnessed. But the failure of our system today
:02:54. > :02:59.is scandalous. 46% of all prisoners will reoffend within one year of
:03:00. > :03:04.rerelease. And current levels of prison violence, drug taking and
:03:05. > :03:07.self harm should shame us all. While it is not unusual for a Prime
:03:08. > :03:12.Minister to make a speech about crime it is unusual for one to
:03:13. > :03:16.commit himself so strongly to prison reform which is perhaps why in the
:03:17. > :03:22.21st century so many inmates are still held in Victorian jails. At
:03:23. > :03:27.the heart of his proposed wholesale reform is better education. These in
:03:28. > :03:31.rates were learning bicycle maintenance but he also wants to
:03:32. > :03:36.give prison governors more power to run their jails as they see best.
:03:37. > :03:40.And even for staff to get bonuses where reoffending rates are low. But
:03:41. > :03:45.business for as say he's avoiding the biggest questions like how many
:03:46. > :03:49.people should be in prison in the first place. I think it has to look
:03:50. > :03:53.first at principles and what the purpose of prison is. What do we
:03:54. > :03:57.want prisons to do, who should be in prisons, what are the outcomes we
:03:58. > :04:01.would expect because right now they are failing and that is seen in
:04:02. > :04:06.reoffending rates and also the other issues. The Prime Minister wants to
:04:07. > :04:11.look at a new satellite tag which would allow the tagging of some
:04:12. > :04:14.offenders, they would keep their jobs and only go to prison at the
:04:15. > :04:19.weekend. Technology is not always the answer. In Brixton prison this
:04:20. > :04:23.afternoon I met Ensley, in for his second time behind bars and helping
:04:24. > :04:26.at the National prison radio station. He says it wasn't prison
:04:27. > :04:32.but failed to reform and the first time, it was what happened after he
:04:33. > :04:37.was released. Won I couldn't sort out my housing. That is what led to
:04:38. > :04:41.me reoffending. I felt I wasn't getting any help and advice
:04:42. > :04:46.frustrating. Jails in England and Wales keep offenders of the street
:04:47. > :04:50.but often it is only a temporary fix. The Prime Minister is now
:04:51. > :04:54.offers in what he calls full on prison reform. Daniel Sandford, in
:04:55. > :04:56.Brixton prison. With me now is Our Home
:04:57. > :05:04.Editor - Mark Easton. Quite a claim, the biggest reforms
:05:05. > :05:08.since Victorian times. The government has given itself quite a
:05:09. > :05:11.challenge, prisons are expensive and too many prisoners reoffend and
:05:12. > :05:16.another Prime Minister says they will solve both problems at the same
:05:17. > :05:20.time, reducing cost and improving performance simultaneously. David
:05:21. > :05:24.Cameron said his government could do more with less. How to square that
:05:25. > :05:28.circle with presence? Since coming to power the Conservatives have
:05:29. > :05:31.repeatedly talked about increasing local control and competition in
:05:32. > :05:35.prison as a way of pushing up standards without pushing up the
:05:36. > :05:40.cost. And we got more on that today in what was a wide ranging speech
:05:41. > :05:44.but as you have heard, some argue that the Prime Minister sidestepped
:05:45. > :05:48.the biggest issue of the more, the fact that we have so many people in
:05:49. > :05:52.prison, consistently high numbers. The prison population, said the
:05:53. > :05:56.Prime Minister, was a matter for judges, not him. But many prison
:05:57. > :06:00.governors will say that only when you sort out the chronic
:06:01. > :06:04.overcrowding will they be in a position to deal with what the Prime
:06:05. > :06:07.Minister admitted was a scandalous failure. Thank you.
:06:08. > :06:10.Winds of almost 100 miles an hour have battered parts of southern
:06:11. > :06:12.England and Wales - more than fifteen thousand homes
:06:13. > :06:15.Road, train and ferry services have been disrupted.
:06:16. > :06:18.Coastal areas have borne the brunt of the bad weather.
:06:19. > :06:20.Duncan Kennedy is in Lymington in Hampshire.
:06:21. > :06:31.Duncan? George, it is almost 12 hours since Storm Imogen began, and
:06:32. > :06:34.it is still battering parts of southern England and Wales. Here in
:06:35. > :06:42.Hampshire for instance the winds are still gusting at 70 files mile --
:06:43. > :06:47.miles per hour. It is disrupted everything, ferry and train services
:06:48. > :06:51.and the roads. And 15,000 homes are tonight without electricity because
:06:52. > :06:55.power lines have been brought down. Also tonight we've had these reports
:06:56. > :06:56.that two young children in the Midlands have been injured after a
:06:57. > :07:03.wall came down on top of them. From Devon to Dartford, the southern
:07:04. > :07:18.part of Britain powerful storm of the winter. This
:07:19. > :07:26.close, just like in Aberystwyth where mountainous waves churned over
:07:27. > :07:33.the seafront. This is Barton on Sea, near Bournemouth. As you can see,
:07:34. > :07:38.the waves are trundling in here, at speeds of 90 mph, the winds are
:07:39. > :07:42.mocking us over, it is hard to stand up. In some places waves have been
:07:43. > :07:48.14 metres high. It's been up. In some places waves have been
:07:49. > :07:50.like this for several hours. That did not stop people coming
:07:51. > :07:56.like this for several hours. That experience it for themselves. What
:07:57. > :08:01.do you think of this? Horrendous, absolutely horrendous. Really,
:08:02. > :08:02.really rough. The wind is so strong. We've just come down for a couple
:08:03. > :08:09.really rough. The wind is so strong. days to see the weather. Quite a
:08:10. > :08:19.spectacle. Hard to stand up. I can't open my car door, the wind is too
:08:20. > :08:23.strong! In Worcestershire this wall collapsed on two children, seriously
:08:24. > :08:27.injuring a boy of four and a girl of seven. It follows concerns raised
:08:28. > :08:31.about the war two weeks ago. Basically it hit two children in the
:08:32. > :08:36.process of collapsing. They were quickly removed from under the
:08:37. > :08:41.initial rubble and were treated on the scene by Ambulance Service
:08:42. > :08:46.personnel. Transport networks have been disrupted everywhere, from
:08:47. > :08:49.submerged tracks in Wales to blocked ones at Bodmin in Cornwall with
:08:50. > :08:55.passengers having to climb onto the track after the train hit a tree. We
:08:56. > :09:00.had to wait here all the time, we had a few classes and we have missed
:09:01. > :09:07.them. It's very annoying. 15,000 homes also had their electricity cut
:09:08. > :09:11.in this storm. After a mild, uneventful winter of weather so far
:09:12. > :09:15.in the South, storm Imogen has been a reminder of the season's power.
:09:16. > :09:22.A second inquest into the death of Private Cheryl James at Deepcut
:09:23. > :09:24.Barracks 20 years ago has heard that she may not
:09:25. > :09:28.The lawyer for the family says there's new evidence which needs
:09:29. > :09:31.Cheryl James, who was 18, was found with a single gunshot
:09:32. > :09:35.Our Home Affairs correspondent June Kelly reports.
:09:36. > :09:42.Cheryl James passed out from the Army in the summer of 1995.
:09:43. > :09:43.This footage was filmed by her family.
:09:44. > :09:47.Six months after she joined up, they were told she was dead.
:09:48. > :09:50.Cheryl, in the weeks before she was fatally injured
:09:51. > :09:58.with a single bullet wound to her head.
:09:59. > :10:09.Today her father Des described how is she seemed to thrive in the
:10:10. > :10:14.military and was like a burst of the Army. He and his wife Doreen have
:10:15. > :10:18.always questioned whether their vivacious teenager would have taken
:10:19. > :10:22.her own life. She was one of four recruits to die at Deepcut. Today in
:10:23. > :10:25.a dramatic development there by Mr Alison Foster QC said it was
:10:26. > :10:30.pathological evidence which showed that the shot which killed Private
:10:31. > :10:43.Cheryl James meant not have been self-inflicted. The barrister for
:10:44. > :10:45.Surrey Police, John Beggs QC, in the front, described this claim is
:10:46. > :10:47.extremely speculative. He was involved in highly charged exchanges
:10:48. > :10:50.with Cheryl's father when he questioned Mr James's criticisms of
:10:51. > :10:55.the police investigation. Des James said, I have lived through this, I
:10:56. > :11:00.know what went on. The QC questioned his contract with officers, saying,
:11:01. > :11:04.did it occur to you that you yourself had distracted the police?
:11:05. > :11:09.The coroner stopped that line of questioning. The QC later said to
:11:10. > :11:13.Cheryl's father, you are not the most impartial witness. The name of
:11:14. > :11:16.Deepcut has represented a dog episode in the history of the
:11:17. > :11:18.British Army. For years the families of the soldiers who died have been
:11:19. > :11:42.fighting to find out what happened at the base. Now with this
:11:43. > :11:45.first new inquest the death of Cheryl James will be examined in
:11:46. > :11:47.detail in a public forum. This has never happened before. Des James was
:11:48. > :11:50.asked about claims that Cheryl might have been depressed. He said he was
:11:51. > :11:52.not aware of it and she was fine the last time the family had seen her,
:11:53. > :11:56.on her 18th birthday. David Cameron has been
:11:57. > :11:59.accused of scaremongering after Downing Street warned
:12:00. > :12:01.that the numbers of asylum seekers coming to the UK would increase
:12:02. > :12:04.if Britain left the European Union. The prime minister said he did not
:12:05. > :12:08.want to give the French an excuse to tear up a deal that allows UK
:12:09. > :12:11.border staff to check Here's our deputy political
:12:12. > :12:16.editor, James Landale. It is called the Jungle, a makeshift
:12:17. > :12:21.camp in the north of France with its own libraries and war and scholar.
:12:22. > :12:25.Thousands of migrants who David Cameron said could end up in Britain
:12:26. > :12:30.if we vote to leave the European Union and France sends border staff
:12:31. > :12:33.home. There are any number of opposition politicians in France who
:12:34. > :12:36.would love to tear up the excellent agreement we have with funds to make
:12:37. > :12:40.sure that we have our borders on their side of the channel. I don't
:12:41. > :12:45.think we should give those politicians any excuse to do that.
:12:46. > :12:50.The deal he talks about was agreed by Tony Blair in 2003. It allowed
:12:51. > :12:55.British border officials to check and block asylum seekers on French
:12:56. > :13:01.soil. S instead of declaring refugees from Calais, as was hoped,
:13:02. > :13:05.they continued to come. Now French politicians warned that they could
:13:06. > :13:09.tear up the Treaty of Britain left the EU. The Prime Minister is right
:13:10. > :13:14.to say that France would probably break the treaty and we'd go back to
:13:15. > :13:21.the types of numbers that we had, 80,000 plus, before that treaty was
:13:22. > :13:25.made, in 2003. But instead of gathering in one camp like in Cali
:13:26. > :13:28.officials claimed that many of these migrants would probably spread out
:13:29. > :13:33.across the south of England with only some of them held in detention
:13:34. > :13:38.centres. David Cameron is making this warning because he wants people
:13:39. > :13:42.to be aware of what he sees as one risk of leaving the EU. The danger
:13:43. > :13:45.is that if the strategy backfires and people think he's being alarmist
:13:46. > :13:51.is no longer making the positive case for staying in. In Calais this
:13:52. > :13:55.week there were yet more protests against migration. In London today
:13:56. > :14:01.the Prime Minister's critics dismissed what they called his sad
:14:02. > :14:05.and disappointing tactics. Not only is it irresponsible scaremongering,
:14:06. > :14:09.it is wrong. First it is a treaty between Britain and France nothing
:14:10. > :14:13.to do with the EU, and secondly, the French government have said that if
:14:14. > :14:16.they had an open border with the UK to be an humanitarian disaster in
:14:17. > :14:22.Calais and it is not a cause they would pursue. The real risk is that
:14:23. > :14:25.there's nothing in the negotiation that restricts the free movement of
:14:26. > :14:29.people from Europe. A referendum that many thought would focus on the
:14:30. > :14:34.economic risks of remaining only thing in the EU will also involve a
:14:35. > :14:39.debate about immigration and the future of camps like these.
:14:40. > :14:41.Dissident Republicans have said they carried out a shooting
:14:42. > :14:43.in Dublin last week, in which a man was killed and two
:14:44. > :14:47.A man claiming to speak for the Continuity IRA told the BBC
:14:48. > :15:04.Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler reports.
:15:05. > :15:33.police officers, but it is now claimed they were members of the
:15:34. > :15:37.continuity IRA. Everybody was forced to run for their lives as they began
:15:38. > :15:40.firing shots. One man was injured and the police are concerned about
:15:41. > :15:44.the possibility of more violence. Armed officers have made themselves
:15:45. > :15:48.very visible, staging checkpoints around the city. Up till now, they
:15:49. > :15:50.have linked it with organised crime gangs but now they need to consider
:15:51. > :15:55.the possibility that dissident Republicans were involved. In a
:15:56. > :16:03.statement, the Continuity IRA claimed the members killed the man
:16:04. > :16:11.in this hotel in retaliation. They said they were prepared to carry out
:16:12. > :16:17.other attacks against people who they called drug dealers and
:16:18. > :16:25.criminals. Dissident groups like the Continuity IRA present themselves as
:16:26. > :16:29.against the political progress that has happened in Ireland and across
:16:30. > :16:36.the border. But the police say it can lead them to violent conflict
:16:37. > :16:39.with other gangs. The claim by this group calling themselves the
:16:40. > :16:43.Continuity IRA, it does not matter what they call themselves, they
:16:44. > :16:50.cannot be allowed to act in this manner. There is no way of verifying
:16:51. > :16:55.the claim but the Irish police have spent a third day gathering evidence
:16:56. > :16:58.at the hotel where the shooting took place and they've
:16:59. > :17:02.at the hotel where the shooting took pictures, some of which show the gun

:18:08. > :18:10.The Laggan-Tormore project is a massive ?3.5bn development
:18:11. > :18:16.But - with the recent collapse in energy prices -
:18:17. > :18:20.there's concern over whether the investment will pay off.
:18:21. > :18:44.Yes, this very big, very expensive development is accessing previously
:18:45. > :18:51.untapped fields. The turning on of the gas comes at a difficult time
:18:52. > :18:55.for the wider offshore industries. It has taken five years, billions of
:18:56. > :19:05.pounds and thousands of workers to build it. Here is fresh gas from the
:19:06. > :19:16.newly capped reserves, coming out to shore. This project has pushed the
:19:17. > :19:22.limits of what is possible. This is one of the longest in the world, and
:19:23. > :19:25.the deepest in the UK. We are pushing the boundaries rather than
:19:26. > :19:28.the technology but even then we are stretching that as well. Getting the
:19:29. > :19:40.gas as sure is technically challenging. There is this huge gas
:19:41. > :19:46.plant but a really significant part of what is going on is taking place
:19:47. > :19:51.miles out to sea. There are no platforms to be seen. There are long
:19:52. > :19:55.pipelines which transport the gas almost 100 miles back to shore. But
:19:56. > :20:00.this was all commissioned when the price of oil and gas was far more
:20:01. > :20:07.buoyant. It is not clear how profitable it will be. We need to
:20:08. > :20:12.look at it long term. I think the big focus is to make sure these
:20:13. > :20:17.fields operate in the most cost-effective manner.
:20:18. > :20:21.fields operate in the most have commissioned it in the current
:20:22. > :20:29.climate given the slump in their product? It is a difficult question.
:20:30. > :20:33.I think this project had some difficult points. Very
:20:34. > :20:39.I think this project had some say whether we could sanction it or
:20:40. > :20:43.not. These islands have been sheltered from the worst of the
:20:44. > :20:46.downturn. Shetland is the only place in Britain to have a sovereign
:20:47. > :20:53.wealth fund worth hundreds of millions of pounds. It has meant a
:20:54. > :21:00.tremendous amount to Shetland. It was a pure place for thousands of
:21:01. > :21:08.years and has been prosperous for the last 40 or so. The water west of
:21:09. > :21:12.Shetland could hold a fifth of the remaining gas reserves. It is
:21:13. > :21:15.important not just for the islands but for Britain's energy security in
