:00:11. > :00:12.The Chancellor called it the Budget for the next generation,
:00:13. > :00:18.and hits back at those who say it will mean more austerity.
:00:19. > :00:22.What I am saying in this Budget is, we have got to hold to the course
:00:23. > :00:26.we have set out, we have got to take action on public finances now
:00:27. > :00:31.so that we are stable and secure and we don't pay later.
:00:32. > :00:34.But financial experts say living standards will suffer -
:00:35. > :00:39.and Labour accuse Mr Osborne of favouring the well-off.
:00:40. > :00:42.He has cut capital gains tax to the wealthiest 5% in our country,
:00:43. > :00:45.and at the same time he has paid for that by cutting the benefits
:00:46. > :00:53.We think that is, to be frank, a scandalous choice.
:00:54. > :00:57.Parents set to lose the automatic right to be school governors -
:00:58. > :01:03.part of the radical reforms to education in England.

:02:04. > :02:06.24 hours after George Osborne's Budget, and it is being picked over
:02:07. > :02:10.by financial experts, the Labour Party and even
:02:11. > :02:15.The respected Institute for Fiscal Studies has
:02:16. > :02:18.warned of more austerity and lower living standards.
:02:19. > :02:21.Labour accuses the Chancellor of taking from disabled people
:02:22. > :02:28.Those welfare changes are a concern for some Tory MPs,
:02:29. > :02:35.too, as our political editor, Laura Kuennsberg, reports.
:02:36. > :02:42.How does it all work, Chancellor? The day after his budget, George
:02:43. > :02:46.Osborne's mathematics and his motivations are being questioned.
:02:47. > :02:52.Some of the claims branded disingenuous, the sums too
:02:53. > :02:59.optimistic. And real cuts - hardly something to celebrate. We make sure
:03:00. > :03:02.that in uncertain times we are fit for the future, by taking action on
:03:03. > :03:08.our public finances so that we do not pay later. And we back small
:03:09. > :03:12.businesses, are self-employed, above all working people, by reducing
:03:13. > :03:17.their taxes so they can help us grow the economy. Reality has arrived
:03:18. > :03:22.along with the budget on MPs' desks. And the probability emerges that the
:03:23. > :03:27.Chancellor only has a 50-50 chance of hitting the targets in the red
:03:28. > :03:31.book, and accusations he is fixing the figures. I really admire George
:03:32. > :03:35.Osborne's love of a five year plan, because it is always five years
:03:36. > :03:41.away. He missed every single target he set for himself in 2010. And then
:03:42. > :03:45.five years later, in 2015. And in the Tory ranks, there is also on
:03:46. > :03:51.happiness, with rebellion brewing. Sarah Stuart from problem is one of
:03:52. > :03:54.more than 600,000 people with disabilities who might be affected
:03:55. > :03:58.by changes to the personal independence payments. When cases
:03:59. > :04:03.are reviewed in future, the benefits will be calculated differently for
:04:04. > :04:08.some. She is worried she might miss out. People like me that used to
:04:09. > :04:12.work all the time and are now needing help from the system they
:04:13. > :04:18.paid into, it is an or full-time. Some Tories are ready to campaign to
:04:19. > :04:20.fight the change. This change is wrong-headed and it really hits the
:04:21. > :04:25.wrong people. They are always tinkering around the edges - that
:04:26. > :04:28.needs to happen so that you have a slightly fairer system. But I think
:04:29. > :04:33.the package which has been offered up to now, which is still a
:04:34. > :04:37.consultation, does go too far. The minister in charge admitted many
:04:38. > :04:40.thousands of people might lose out, but the total amount will go up. We
:04:41. > :04:45.will see more people overall benefiting from the system. It will
:04:46. > :04:48.continue to improve year-on-year and overall we will still see an
:04:49. > :04:52.increase in funding every year in this Parliament. What do you say to
:04:53. > :04:56.a disabled person who might lose a vital share of their income, and the
:04:57. > :05:00.person next door might get a tax cut? But the two things are not
:05:01. > :05:07.linked. This is not a financial measure. It is providing a fair,
:05:08. > :05:12.sustainable benefit which provides support and affects genuine, ongoing
:05:13. > :05:17.extra costs. Tory Eurosceptics are plotting with Labour over the tax on
:05:18. > :05:21.tampons as well. The Government hopes that within days, they will be
:05:22. > :05:27.allowed to scrap it. That would help. Like with any budget, it is a
:05:28. > :05:30.test of the Chancellor's reputation. George Osborne has got bigger
:05:31. > :05:34.ambitions than being in charge of the Treasury for ever. So he was
:05:35. > :05:38.trying to impress is own MPs as well as the public. His team insist he
:05:39. > :05:42.has made the right big and bold decisions, but the budget has not
:05:43. > :05:48.gone entirely to plan. That was such a big occasion, wasn't it? Indeed,
:05:49. > :05:50.budgets always are. Events which changes, there is and all of our
:05:51. > :05:52.lives. So why are some experts saying
:05:53. > :05:55.that there could be trouble ahead, Our economics editor,
:05:56. > :06:01.Kamal Ahmed, is here with me. You have been taking a good look at
:06:02. > :06:08.the numbers? I have indeed, yes. Day two, and a day of in-depth
:06:09. > :06:11.analysis of the Budget. That hitting that vital budget
:06:12. > :06:15.surplus target is going to be very And that there are more public
:06:16. > :06:30.sector cuts ahead in all likelihood. This time around he has responded to
:06:31. > :06:34.bad economic news by shuffling some figures around. If he gets more bad
:06:35. > :06:39.economic news, he will either have to abandon that target or do
:06:40. > :06:41.something serious, some significant tax increases or real spending cuts.
:06:42. > :06:44.Those real spending cuts could come in the year
:06:45. > :06:48.The IFS says that if the Chancellor is to achieve his fabled budget
:06:49. > :06:51.surplus, he will need to find a further ?10 billion of cuts
:06:52. > :06:54.to planned spending on public services by 2021.
:06:55. > :06:59.Those cuts could fall most heavily on non-protected departments such
:07:00. > :07:03.as the Home Office and Justice - they may have to find a further 13%
:07:04. > :07:10.The Chancellor also announced income tax cuts - increasing the personal
:07:11. > :07:19.allowance and taking 585,000 people out of the higher 40p rate of tax.
:07:20. > :07:23.But according to one analysis, that cut tends to be more
:07:24. > :07:29.It will boost the incomes of the richest 20% of households
:07:30. > :07:37.That figure for the poorest 20% of households?
:07:38. > :07:41.There was some better news for the Chancellor today.
:07:42. > :07:43.The Bank of England said wage increases were stronger and that
:07:44. > :07:46.productivity was rising - and after the bad news
:07:47. > :07:49.on productivity yesterday, that will come as a welcome
:07:50. > :07:56.For this manufacturing firm, Mr Osborne's pledge to support
:07:57. > :08:05.The Treasury made productivity improvements - crucial
:08:06. > :08:14.for maintaining growth - a central part of the Budget.
:08:15. > :08:20.If you put your efforts into your staff and machinery and invest back
:08:21. > :08:23.into the company, you are getting more work, you are widening your
:08:24. > :08:25.capabilities and strengthening your reputation.
:08:26. > :08:27.One final thought - never underestimate Mr Osborne's
:08:28. > :08:29.ability to find a little extra something behind the fabled
:08:30. > :08:36.As one government source pointed out to me, yesterday's figures
:08:37. > :08:39.were so poor, things - before the next election -
:08:40. > :08:47.For as long as anyone can remember, parents have played a part
:08:48. > :08:49.in running schools by being governors.
:08:50. > :08:53.It is all part of the sweeping changes, including making
:08:54. > :08:56.all state schools academies - published by the Government today.
:08:57. > :08:59.Labour says it will be costly and disruptive,
:09:00. > :09:02.but the Government argues parents will have more choice.
:09:03. > :09:13.Here's our education editor, Branwen Jeffreys.
:09:14. > :09:18.Schools across England are facing a massive shake-up. Teachers will have
:09:19. > :09:26.to prove their classroom skills to qualify. And all schools will become
:09:27. > :09:29.academies within years. Rebecca Jones is a parent governor at this
:09:30. > :09:34.primary school in Manchester. Under these plans are elected parent
:09:35. > :09:40.governors will go when it becomes an academy. Parents give immediate
:09:41. > :09:43.feedback if there is an issue. And if you don't have the parent
:09:44. > :09:50.governors, I don't think the parents would feel able to approach the
:09:51. > :09:54.school about issues. Which one of these pictures to you think is going
:09:55. > :09:58.back into the past...? Like most primary schools, it is still run by
:09:59. > :10:02.the council. But that will have to change within the next six years.
:10:03. > :10:06.Tell me which one you are choosing... Samantha Kinghorn
:10:07. > :10:09.headteacher here. She resisted pressure to become an academy
:10:10. > :10:14.before. But what about other government plans? Headteachers who
:10:15. > :10:18.move to a struggling school will get more time - at least two years, to
:10:19. > :10:22.turn things around before the inspectors arrive. That would be
:10:23. > :10:25.welcome. At the moment I feel sometimes that Headteachers are a
:10:26. > :10:30.bit like football managers. You make one mistake or you have only been in
:10:31. > :10:35.a school for one year, and you are pumped off! So what friends will it
:10:36. > :10:39.make to their education? The only these changes taken together are
:10:40. > :10:46.meant to give headteachers and schools much more freedom to shape
:10:47. > :10:50.what they teach. It will also create huge change of schools -- huge
:10:51. > :10:54.chains of schools competing with each other across England. The
:10:55. > :10:58.question is, who holds them to account? Steve Lancashire is the
:10:59. > :11:03.chief executive two primary school chains. He says they use the Freedom
:11:04. > :11:06.of being an academy to offer something different. They are held
:11:07. > :11:11.to account, he says, through their results. All of our schoolchildren
:11:12. > :11:14.will go to a capital city in a foreign country to experience a
:11:15. > :11:19.foreign culture. It is distinctive about what we can provide as a group
:11:20. > :11:24.of schools, rather than individual schools, and as an academy rather
:11:25. > :11:27.than as a council school. The Education Secretary tells me she
:11:28. > :11:31.wants parents to have a bigger say, so why get rid of elected parent
:11:32. > :11:34.governors? We want governors to be there because of the skills they
:11:35. > :11:38.bring. I think there are much more effective ways for parents to be
:11:39. > :11:42.involved rather than just having a couple of parents on the governing
:11:43. > :11:45.bodies. We want to set up a parent portal so that parents know what is
:11:46. > :11:49.going on and better complaints mechanism. Schools will still have
:11:50. > :11:50.to try to impress parents, but there is no guarantee there
:11:51. > :11:54.to try to impress parents, but there transition to the new system.
:11:55. > :11:57.EU leaders in Brussels are making yet another attempt to tackle
:11:58. > :11:59.the large numbers of migrants and refugees trying to reach Europe.
:12:00. > :12:02.The proposed plan would see migrants arriving in Greece sent
:12:03. > :12:05.But Turkey wants a number of concessions from the EU.
:12:06. > :12:07.Our Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas
:12:08. > :12:22.It sounds like there are still a number of obstacles in the way?
:12:23. > :12:26.There are. This grand bargain has real problems still to overcome. The
:12:27. > :12:31.first one, is it legal? One leader coming here today said it was on the
:12:32. > :12:36.edge of legality, because international law and human rights
:12:37. > :12:39.law says that refugees arriving all have to have their cases heard
:12:40. > :12:44.individually. There is not the infrastructure in Greece to do that.
:12:45. > :12:49.That is one problem. Secondly, those concessions Turkey wants, things
:12:50. > :12:54.like speeding up his free access for Turkish people to the EU - many
:12:55. > :12:56.European countries very unsure about giving concessions to Turkey at a
:12:57. > :13:01.time when they have real worries about human rights in Turkey. And
:13:02. > :13:06.Turkey also wants the speeding up of its accession talks to the EU.
:13:07. > :13:09.Cyprus, an EU member, is not recognised by Turkey and has said it
:13:10. > :13:11.will block that. Lots of problems ahead.
:13:12. > :13:14.Paul Daniels, one of the country's most popular entertainers,
:13:15. > :13:17.has died at the age of 77, just weeks after being diagnosed
:13:18. > :13:22.He died at his home in Berkshire in the early hours of this morning.
:13:23. > :13:25.For 15 years, he was a well-known fixture on Saturday night TV

:14:36. > :14:39.few weeks, up until the last 48 hours when he slipped into a sleep.
:14:40. > :14:43.But even minutes before he slipped into that sleep,
:14:44. > :14:47.he was smiling at me and joking and singing Beatles songs.
:14:48. > :14:51.I had a letter yesterday from a lady who had met us and she said,

:15:22. > :15:24.young, but having looked back on them and all the magic he did
:15:25. > :15:26.on YouTube, he will always be one

:17:23. > :17:35.this is going to be with us not only for the coming generation
:17:36. > :17:37.but for the generations Katie is 15, loves singing and drama
:17:38. > :17:41.and going to the movies. Her battle against weight has been
:17:42. > :17:49.a lifelong challenge. 14-year-old Becky likes R
:17:50. > :17:52.music and Justin Bieber. She too is working hard
:17:53. > :17:56.to shed the pounds. When it comes to calories,
:17:57. > :18:00.for both girls, the problem has been It was like a pot of Pringles,
:18:01. > :18:06.an iced coffee, a croissant. Chocolate cereal and I would have
:18:07. > :18:09.in my lunch rolls and crisps. I would have, like, chicken nuggets
:18:10. > :18:15.or just something out And then your mum would
:18:16. > :18:20.give you your supper? Yeah, and I would have lunch
:18:21. > :18:24.and I would have breakfast. For their parents
:18:25. > :18:27.it is a major worry. They know that obesity can
:18:28. > :18:30.destroy children's health Why didn't you, as a mum,
:18:31. > :18:38.simply feed her less food? We hid bread in places
:18:39. > :18:45.like the laundry basket Now Katie is fighting back,
:18:46. > :18:54.has found the strength to lose two stone and is determined
:18:55. > :18:59.to lose more. I'm around 16 right now and so,
:19:00. > :19:03.like, obviously I will see when I get to where I want to be
:19:04. > :19:06.but roughly like ten stone Katie is on the right road,
:19:07. > :19:12.using exercise and diet. For others, though,
:19:13. > :19:14.the challenge is still daunting. Four out of five obese children
:19:15. > :19:18.will become obese adults. Overweight young people
:19:19. > :19:20.look relatively healthy, they get up and about,
:19:21. > :19:23.they move around, they do things But when they are in their 40s
:19:24. > :19:30.and 50s, you find that the body Becky is doing well, going
:19:31. > :19:38.to the gym, choosing healthy food. But being overweight can also bring
:19:39. > :19:41.psychological problems and for her, the bullying started
:19:42. > :19:48.at primary school. I would feel like I was always
:19:49. > :19:51.being talked about so I would walk round a corner and there
:19:52. > :19:55.would be a group of people. Even if I didn't know them
:19:56. > :19:57.and they were laughing, I would think they
:19:58. > :19:59.were laughing at me. It's hard to see your child
:20:00. > :20:04.sort of feel that way. I don't think there's anything
:20:05. > :20:06.quite as heartbreaking than when your child tells
:20:07. > :20:08.you that they hate themselves and they don't want to look
:20:09. > :20:11.at themselves in the mirror. Counting calories, choosing water
:20:12. > :20:18.instead of fizzy drinks. Overweight children
:20:19. > :20:22.need this kind of help. They can't take responsibility
:20:23. > :20:24.for their own actions, they are children and they are

:20:56. > :21:06.there was "no evidence" of abuse What's the reaction been
:21:07. > :21:21.to today's findings? Perhaps inevitably for some abuse
:21:22. > :21:24.survivors, today has been a day of disappointment, some saying they
:21:25. > :21:28.lost trust in the authorities many years ago. It is worth considering
:21:29. > :21:33.that some of these crimes happened for decades ago when vulnerable
:21:34. > :21:37.children, put into the care of the state, became the victims of
:21:38. > :21:41.sustained sexual abuse. In the following years they were silenced.
:21:42. > :21:48.About 20 years ago an enquiry was held here, some 700 allegations were
:21:49. > :21:52.looked into and many people were happy then but rumours persisted
:21:53. > :21:57.that there may have been some people who evaded justice. Lady Justice
:21:58. > :22:02.Macur has been through more than a million pages of evidence and she
:22:03. > :22:08.says she is satisfied there was no cover-up, no national figure who got
:22:09. > :22:13.away with it. But we are still left with some questions tonight, why is
:22:14. > :22:18.it only in the last three years that some perpetrators have been brought
:22:19. > :22:24.to court? Will some victims feel put off about coming forward to give
:22:25. > :22:26.evidence? One thing is clear, this probably isn't the final chapter in
:22:27. > :22:27.the story. Thank you. A brief look at some of the day's
:22:28. > :22:30.other other news stories. Owners of dangerous dogs will face

:23:22. > :23:28.among other people, a smoking dog called Butch and a horse-racing
:23:29. > :23:30.butcher called Bacon. He was best known as host
:23:31. > :23:33.of the current affairs programme Tonight, with a distinctive
:23:34. > :23:37.and informal style. The director general of the BBC,
:23:38. > :23:46.Tony Hall, has called him England's Grand Slam-deciding game
:23:47. > :23:59.against France in the Six Nations Meanwhile, the Welsh Rugby union has
:24:00. > :24:03.said it is disappointed that England prop Joe Marler has been cleared to
:24:04. > :24:08.play despite a racial slur allegedly made against an opponent. Joe Marler
:24:09. > :24:09.is on the bench but coach Eddie Jones has denied the decision was
:24:10. > :24:11.made as punishment. Dan Roan's report contains
:24:12. > :24:21.language that some viewers It is the incident that has
:24:22. > :24:29.threatened to overshadow England's grand slam bid. When prop Joe Marler
:24:30. > :24:33.was heard saying gypsy boy at Wells appointed Samson Lee last weekend, a
:24:34. > :24:37.player who has been open about his traveller heritage than many
:24:38. > :24:41.expected a ban but instead he escaped punishment and today the
:24:42. > :24:45.Welsh Rugby union expressed their surprise, saying there was no place
:24:46. > :24:49.for racist language in sport. We don't condone any sort of
:24:50. > :24:56.determination, race, religion, sexuality. As an organisation I
:24:57. > :25:02.think probably we slightly disagree with it. But that hasn't impressed
:25:03. > :25:09.England coach Eddie Jones who hit back at what he sees as Welsh
:25:10. > :25:16.inconsistency. If you look at the statements from Wales yesterday,
:25:17. > :25:21.maybe they don't know about it. They clearly think it was a racist
:25:22. > :25:26.comment? At one time they didn't yesterday but they do now. Do you
:25:27. > :25:30.think it was a racist comment? I've said what I've had to say on that
:25:31. > :25:35.topic. We have a grand slam in front of us. It is no wonder that coach
:25:36. > :25:38.was the focus to be on the performance is on his side had swept
:25:39. > :25:43.all before him and now only France in Paris stand in their way. It may
:25:44. > :25:48.be hard to believe but less than six months ago England were at rock
:25:49. > :25:52.bottom having crashed out of their very own World Cup here at
:25:53. > :25:57.Twickenham after just three matches. That humiliation led to an internal
:25:58. > :26:01.inquiry, the replacing of their captain and the sacking of head
:26:02. > :26:05.coach Stuart Lancaster so how have they turned things around so
:26:06. > :26:11.dramatically? We have been runners-up for the last four years.
:26:12. > :26:14.Maybe it was a mental edge. Like I said that we have had those failures
:26:15. > :26:21.in the past to drive us on to finally cracked it but until we win
:26:22. > :26:25.this weekend, I'm not happy, I'm not resting. This was the last time
:26:26. > :26:28.England won the grand slam, 2003, the same year they lifted the World
:26:29. > :26:30.Cup but emulating that will take some doing. So far they have made
:26:31. > :26:32.the perfect start. A bright meteor was sighted flashing
:26:33. > :26:35.across the skies over the UK People reported seeing a bright
:26:36. > :26:41.flash of blue or green light moving It's believed the spectacle
:26:42. > :26:58.was caused by magnesium-white trail. Clouding of but it has been a
:26:59. > :27:06.beautiful day for most, the warmest day of the year in the Highlands.
:27:07. > :27:12.Not for everybody but we did see 19 degrees. Different in Aberdeen, only
:27:13. > :27:17.eight and really quite cold, 5 degrees, a lot of coastal fog. There
:27:18. > :27:22.were some lovely spells of sunshine for most of us today, a pleasant
:27:23. > :27:28.spring afternoon. Things are set to change as we run through the night.
:27:29. > :27:34.That cloud will creep steadily westwards through the night,
:27:35. > :27:41.bringing low cloud and a spot of drizzle and coastal fog. Further
:27:42. > :27:45.west, clearer skies, a touch of frost and mist and fog. It should
:27:46. > :27:49.lift quickly and the best sunshine will be further west that it will be
:27:50. > :27:55.a cold, grey, disappointing start for many tomorrow. And with the
:27:56. > :27:59.strength of the wind on the coasts, it will feel disappointing. A lot of
:28:00. > :28:06.low cloud around, but spot of drizzle on the cost. We might see
:28:07. > :28:10.some breaks in the West and in Northern Ireland and West is best in
:28:11. > :28:15.terms of the sunshine. As the day continues, some of the cloud will
:28:16. > :28:20.creep further westwards so the sunshine state of the extreme west
:28:21. > :28:25.with temperatures not as warm as today. We might scrape double
:28:26. > :28:30.figures, across the north coast it will be a bit cooler and cloudier.
:28:31. > :28:33.The high-pressure spreads to the west and keep things quiet but
:28:34. > :28:38.cloudy and cold moving into the weekend. If you haven't already
:28:39. > :28:40.heard, we keep the dry theme but there will be quite a bit of cloud
:28:41. > :28:44.around and it will stay chilly. That's all from the BBC News at Six
:28:45. > :28:47.so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's
:28:48. > :28:50.news teams where you are.
