:05:11. > :05:19.There are a lot of children on Facebook. How worried should parents
:05:20. > :05:23.be? It is worrying that we need a sense of proportion. Most Facebook
:05:24. > :05:28.users have a safe and enjoyable experience. But maybe this raises a
:05:29. > :05:31.warning and the question. The warning is for parents. These

:05:37. > :05:41.even if you friend your child is to monitor them, you will not see these

:05:46. > :05:52.life should mirror their real-world life. If a stranger said, come to a
:05:53. > :05:57.secret place, you would say No. The question for Facebook is, it has 1.6

:07:43. > :07:44.and that they genuinely are now ready to see a scaling down

:08:04. > :08:13.in negotiations and in political action since the beginning
:08:14. > :08:15.of the crisis. However, if we negotiate,
:08:16. > :08:18.it does not mean we will The two tracks are
:08:19. > :08:26.separate from each other. Syria's war is also a major
:08:27. > :08:29.humanitarian crisis. Munich's deal means
:08:30. > :08:37.government and rebel forces must let aid enter besieged areas
:08:38. > :08:41.where people are starving. Imagine that we have several convoys

:08:45. > :08:46.not make a difference? Do you think this
:08:47. > :08:48.is a turning point? Strong words have
:08:49. > :08:56.emerged here in Munich. The next week will make it clear
:08:57. > :09:01.whether this was a major breakthrough that could help ease

:09:27. > :09:28.only selling around 50,000 David Sillito examines
:09:29. > :09:44.the paper's demise. 30 years ago, it was set up with a
:09:45. > :09:48.vision to be bold, innovative and above all independent of the
:09:49. > :09:52.political tribes. Over the years, its front covers have been
:09:53. > :09:56.startling. It was the first broadsheet to switch to tabloid, and
:09:57. > :10:04.now with a heavy heart, it is the first to give up on print. It has
:10:05. > :10:09.been a tough day, and lots of people have had a painful day. Having said
:10:10. > :10:13.that, as I said to staff, think it is the right thing for the
:10:14. > :10:17.Independent. We are going to wear our readers are, embracing a digital
:10:18. > :10:20.future, and this transition is completely necessary. The
:10:21. > :10:25.announcement about selling its sister paper was made yesterday.
:10:26. > :10:31.Today's announcement was hardly a surprise. At its peak, the
:10:32. > :10:38.Independent was selling 425,000 copies a day. 25 years on, weekday
:10:39. > :10:42.sales are closer to 30,000. This has gone further and moved faster than
:10:43. > :10:46.elsewhere but every newspaper is travelling in the same direction. No
:10:47. > :10:51.one has found a way of making money out of digital in the way they used
:10:52. > :10:55.to have to print. And remember, when it was set up, this was not just a
:10:56. > :11:03.journalistic adventure. This was the cutting edge of new technology. 30
:11:04. > :11:09.years on, going digital seems inevitable to its joint founder and
:11:10. > :11:14.first editor. Not only are all newspapers across the world losing
:11:15. > :11:18.circulation, but they are losing advertising income very seriously.
:11:19. > :11:27.So it's a double whammy. The only question is, when do you come to
:11:28. > :11:30.terms with it? And so on its website today, news of the Independent's new
:11:31. > :11:36.future. Goodbye to print, and also more than half the 200 staff.

:12:40. > :12:43.For a reception teacher, observing children is part of her job. Now,
:12:44. > :12:47.that assessment is becoming more formal and will be used to judge
:12:48. > :12:54.what difference the school makes by age 11. Baseline testing involves
:12:55. > :12:59.assessing a child's skills on a given day, including social skills
:13:00. > :13:04.like listening or taking turns, literacy skills, such as using words
:13:05. > :13:09.and naming letters, and in maths, things like counting or very simple
:13:10. > :13:12.sums. Today, parents with children going into reception next year said
:13:13. > :13:19.it was all about how it is carried out. I don't necessarily feel
:13:20. > :13:21.comfortable with the idea but I recognise that it's quite an
:13:22. > :13:25.important thing for a child to have an assessment, to establish whether
:13:26. > :13:31.they are performing at the level they should be. I know they are a
:13:32. > :13:37.bit young to have it very formal, but as long as it does not add
:13:38. > :13:40.stress, think it is OK. It depends on the level of assessment and what
:13:41. > :13:46.kind of pressure that may put on the children. At the age of four, it is
:13:47. > :13:51.important not to put any pressure on children. This school, like many
:13:52. > :13:57.others in England, has chosen a kind of assessment which involves
:13:58. > :14:00.observing children whilst they do an activity. But there are two other
:14:01. > :14:04.kinds being piloted which are much more formal, and it is quite
:14:05. > :14:12.possible that those may be the ones the Government favours. Many
:14:13. > :14:16.teachers are uneasy about testing children to judge school
:14:17. > :14:20.performance, but Baseline tests already exist in Wales. Scotland
:14:21. > :14:23.plans to introduce something similar. The headteacher here told
:14:24. > :14:29.me it is essential that ministers in England learn from the pilots. It is
:14:30. > :14:32.going to be here to stay, so it is important for the profession to
:14:33. > :14:36.speak up and speak about the good things that come out of Baseline
:14:37. > :14:41.assessment, and the models that actually work in the classroom.

:16:39. > :16:45.Overall women earn on average nearly 20% less than men. It includes

:16:52. > :16:58.The gap can widen according depending to the sector. In finance
:16:59. > :17:02.it as big as 35%. In health care women earn nearly a quarter less
:17:03. > :17:08.than men. I spoke to one group of women, two of them senior managers,
:17:09. > :17:11.about the reasons why. Some men are better at saying what their
:17:12. > :17:15.contribution and impact was, which can help drive the level of bonuses
:17:16. > :17:18.they get. Women are more likely to talk about how the team works to
