:01:16. > :01:17.following injury to Joe Hart, ahead Good evening and welcome

:01:18. > :01:46.to the BBC News at Six. David Cameron has given a robust

:01:47. > :01:50.defence of his Government's record. It follows accusations

:01:51. > :01:59.by Iain Duncan-Smith, who resigned as Work

:02:00. > :02:01.and Pensions Secretary last Friday, that the Conservative

:02:02. > :02:02.party's policies - and last week's budget in particular

:02:03. > :02:05.- risked dividing the country. Mr Cameron hit back,

:02:06. > :02:11.saying the Conservatives remained Here is our political editor Laura

:02:12. > :02:17.Kuenssberg. Clearing up the mess sounds simple

:02:18. > :02:23.but this is more than a one broom job. In the last 48 hours numbers

:02:24. > :02:28.ten and 11 have been accused of putting the rich before the poor.

:02:29. > :02:35.Letting down the most vulnerable for votes. Now the rows behind the black

:02:36. > :02:36.door have brutally spilled out into public. David Cameron

:02:37. > :02:47.door have brutally spilled out into under pressure like this. With his

:02:48. > :02:52.government in trouble he was off to answer Iain Duncan-Smith back. He

:02:53. > :02:56.chose not quite to kill Mr Duncan Smith with kindness, but showed some

:02:57. > :02:59.respectful stop my Right Honourable friend contributed an enormous

:03:00. > :03:04.amount of the work of this government. He can be proud of what

:03:05. > :03:07.he achieved. But he rejected Iain Duncan-Smith's most stinging attack,

:03:08. > :03:11.that the Government is running out of compassion. Will go on with our

:03:12. > :03:16.plans to rebuild sink estates, help those with mental health conditions,

:03:17. > :03:19.to extend our troubled families programme, to reform our prisons,

:03:20. > :03:23.and to tackle discrimination for those whose life chances suffer

:03:24. > :03:27.because of the colour of their skin. None of this would be possible if it

:03:28. > :03:30.wasn't for the actions of this government and the work of my Right

:03:31. > :03:34.Honourable friend the Chancellor in turning our economy around. Trying

:03:35. > :03:40.to end with a flourish of his familiar promise. We are a modern,

:03:41. > :03:42.compassionate, one nation Conservative government. Plenty of

:03:43. > :03:47.noise but look at the backbenchers' body language, it doesn't admit Ali

:03:48. > :03:52.transmit huge admiration. The ditching of planned changes to

:03:53. > :03:56.disability benefits less than a week from the budget allowed Labour to

:03:57. > :04:00.label the whole thing MS. The budget has a big hole in it and it's up to

:04:01. > :04:02.the Prime Minister to persuade his great friend the Chancellor of the

:04:03. > :04:10.Exchequer to either come here and explain the -- how he will fill that

:04:11. > :04:13.hole or maybe he should consider his position. Jeremy Corbyn didn't even

:04:14. > :04:17.mention the man who has done most damage. Iain Duncan-Smith was

:04:18. > :04:21.nowhere to be seen at his home today, nor anywhere in Westminster.

:04:22. > :04:25.In his absence though, others were willing to give the pressure up,

:04:26. > :04:28.praising the man who walked out. May I warmly welcome my Right Honourable

:04:29. > :04:32.friend's generous comments about my Right Honourable friend the member

:04:33. > :04:34.for Chingford who is so widely respected on these benches. The

:04:35. > :04:38.British people will not take kindly to the idea that we must cut

:04:39. > :04:46.benefits to vulnerable people in order to hand over every penny to

:04:47. > :04:48.the EU. There was nothing like open revolt against the Prime Minister

:04:49. > :04:54.but don't mistake that for overwhelming support. Secretary

:04:55. > :04:56.Stephen Crabb. But spare a thought for the new Work and Pensions

:04:57. > :05:00.Secretary Stephen Crabb, taking to his feet after a torrid few days,

:05:01. > :05:03.confirming that controversial changes to disability payments won't

:05:04. > :05:08.go ahead, and promising no extra cuts to welfare. So I can also

:05:09. > :05:12.confirm that after discussing this issue over the weekend with my Right

:05:13. > :05:15.Honourable friend is the Prime Minister and the Chancellor, we have

:05:16. > :05:18.no further plans to make welfare savings beyond the very substantial

:05:19. > :05:23.savings legislated for by Parliament two weeks ago which we will focus on

:05:24. > :05:27.plummeting. This leaves a question over the middle of the budget, the

:05:28. > :05:30.set of numbers that is meant to shape how the government spends and

:05:31. > :05:35.saves, but as David Cameron has found to his cost in the last couple

:05:36. > :05:36.of days not everything is in his control. Laura Kuenssberg, News,

:05:37. > :05:38.Westminster. So at the heart of this row lies

:05:39. > :05:42.the accusation that in last week's budget the better off in society

:05:43. > :05:44.gained while the vulnerable Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed

:05:45. > :05:49.is here with his assessment. Two big issues rolled up

:05:50. > :05:55.to George Osborne's front door today - the major allegation

:05:56. > :05:58.from Iain Duncan-Smith that his Budget of last

:05:59. > :06:05.week simply wasn't fair. And that the ditching of disability

:06:06. > :06:07.payment savings could leave a large black hole in the Chancellor's

:06:08. > :06:09.Budget calculations. Let's consider that

:06:10. > :06:11.fairness issue first. If we look at how people

:06:12. > :06:14.are affected by the tax changes last week, this graph shows

:06:15. > :06:16.the difference between the richest The poorest 10% are no better off

:06:17. > :06:20.according to the Institute They will see their household income

:06:21. > :06:36.increase by around ?268 a year. Critics may say that is unfair,

:06:37. > :06:39.but the change should be seen in the context of

:06:40. > :06:40.the broader economy. This budget did very little

:06:41. > :06:43.to the distribution of income. It gave away a little bit

:06:44. > :06:46.of money to income tax If you look over the longer

:06:47. > :06:52.period we have seen significant takeaways from people

:06:53. > :06:54.of working age on benefits, as promised by the

:06:55. > :06:57.Conservative manifesto. And very significant takeaways

:06:58. > :06:59.from people right at the top People in the middle

:07:00. > :07:08.remarkably unaffected. The Treasury looks at the issue

:07:09. > :07:15.of fairness differently. It analyses the total

:07:16. > :07:17.tax paid and the amount In 2010 - the richest fifth

:07:18. > :07:27.of all households paid 49% Whereas the poorest

:07:28. > :07:37.fifth paid around 6%. After six years of austerity,

:07:38. > :07:40.the proportion of tax paid by the richest fifth

:07:41. > :07:42.has risen to 52%. the cuts have have been handled

:07:43. > :07:47.fairly. Finally, let's look at that issue

:07:48. > :07:50.of the dreaded "fiscal black hole" Delaying the personal independence

:07:51. > :07:54.payment reforms for disabled people could cost the Government around

:07:55. > :07:59.?1.3 billion by 2020. But consider - by then

:08:00. > :08:08.the Government will be spending ?810 billion a year

:08:09. > :08:14.on public services - so ?1.3 billion is relatively small

:08:15. > :08:16.change. It could easily be paid

:08:17. > :08:18.for by better economic growth And we won't know about that

:08:19. > :08:22.until the Autumn Statement towards the end of this year -

:08:23. > :08:26.when my Treasury sources tell me any new areas for cuts -

:08:27. > :08:33.if needed - will be made clear. And we can speak to our political

:08:34. > :08:45.editor Laura Kuenssberg Laura, that commitment on welfare

:08:46. > :08:50.savings made in the last half an hour or so, how significant is that?

:08:51. > :08:53.It is a big promise. In the last couple of days the Conservative

:08:54. > :08:58.Party have had a dreadful time, one minister described it as being on a

:08:59. > :09:02.kamikaze mission. The announcement from the brand-new Secretary of

:09:03. > :09:04.State for work and Stephen Crabb, doesn't just mean those

:09:05. > :09:08.controversial changes to payments for disabled people have been

:09:09. > :09:11.junked, it would also mean, as he said, that there will be no new

:09:12. > :09:15.welfare cuts through the course of this Parliament right up until 2020.

:09:16. > :09:20.For many people around the country there have already been significant

:09:21. > :09:24.benefit cuts, billions have come out of the budget and we should not

:09:25. > :09:28.forget that fact. But this is a big promise to make at a time when money

:09:29. > :09:33.is tight and when the Government is publicly very committed to hitting

:09:34. > :09:36.their targets to get rid of the deficit. Making a big promise like

:09:37. > :09:40.this suggests either lots of money is going to have to be saved from

:09:41. > :09:44.elsewhere, or the government might have to forget about their targets,

:09:45. > :09:48.or they are just praying that the economy picks up and gets much

:09:49. > :09:53.better and better and suddenly taxes come flooding in from elsewhere that

:09:54. > :09:56.they hadn't been anticipating. One irony, of course, that is probably

:09:57. > :10:01.the announcement Iain Duncan-Smith himself would dearly love to make.

:10:02. > :10:03.He might have had to resign to do it but it seems he has got his way.

:10:04. > :10:06.Laura, thank you very much. A teenager who killed a police

:10:07. > :10:08.officer in Merseyside by knocking him down in a stolen car

:10:09. > :10:11.has been cleared of murder Clayton Williams killed PC

:12:04. > :12:06.grieved, he grinned for the camera. What he did was

:12:07. > :12:10.described as ruthless. Clayton Williams said it was pitch

:12:56. > :12:57.that will never end. The Metropolitan Police has

:12:58. > :13:00.said its investigation into claims of a Westminster paedophile ring -

:13:01. > :13:02.Operation Midland - Scotland Yard also confirmed

:13:03. > :13:08.that the former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor will not be

:13:09. > :13:10.prosecuted over historic Tom Symonds reports on controversial

:13:11. > :13:27.investigation that raised questions He was accused of horrifying crimes,

:13:28. > :13:32.he lived under suspicion for a year, now he's been cleared. Last year

:13:33. > :13:36.when Harvey Proctor was named as an abuser and murderer he came out

:13:37. > :13:50.fighting. I am completely innocent of all these allegations. I am a

:13:51. > :13:58.homosexual, I am not a murderer, I am not a paedophile. His accuser,

:13:59. > :14:01.Nick, in his 40s told police three boys were murdered and others abused

:14:02. > :14:06.at locations including the Dolphin Square apartments, the Carlton club,

:14:07. > :14:12.and even this abandoned village to used by the military on Salisbury

:14:13. > :14:15.Plain. Nick named a string of establishment diggers including

:14:16. > :14:19.former prime ministers Sir Edward Heath, former Home Secretary Lord

:14:20. > :14:23.Brittan and Labour peer Lord Janner. The net closed the inquiry today

:14:24. > :14:28.finding insufficient evidence to allow prosecutors even to consider

:14:29. > :14:31.charges. But Scotland Yard strongly defended itself. The Met can't

:14:32. > :14:35.apologise for investigating serious allegations of crime. It's right we

:14:36. > :14:37.do that, it's right we follow the evidence without fear or favour and

:14:38. > :14:42.reach a conclusion on what the evidence tells us. I do regret if

:14:43. > :14:45.anyone has been distressed by this investigation, but it was right the

:14:46. > :14:49.investigation took place. Harvey Proctor today called for the

:14:50. > :14:53.resignations of the Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe and other

:14:54. > :14:56.senior officers. For a public inquiry and for Nick to be

:14:57. > :15:01.prosecuted. The only other person Nick accused who is still alive was

:15:02. > :15:04.Field Marshal Lord Bramall, one of Britain's most distinguished

:15:05. > :15:07.soldiers. Today in his first television interview he told the BBC

:15:08. > :15:11.the police inquiry should have focused not on him but on Nick. I've

:15:12. > :15:18.never complained about being investigated. Only be heavy-handed

:15:19. > :15:24.and very unintelligent way that they went about it. I think they could

:15:25. > :15:30.have said, look, if they had taken any trouble to put their effort onto

:15:31. > :15:35.questioning the so-called victim, I think they would have found that it

:15:36. > :15:44.was very unlikely. Instead detectives reached this early

:15:45. > :15:48.conclusion. We believe what Nick is saying is credible and true. The Met

:15:49. > :15:50.has since withdrawn that statement, though police today said no evidence

:15:51. > :15:56.had been found that Nick misled them. But there are things he has

:15:57. > :15:59.not been able to explain. How could such prominent men, their lives

:16:00. > :16:03.carefully controlled, have got away with it? How could a boy suffered so

:16:04. > :16:08.badly with no one, not least his mother, raising the alarm? And if it

:16:09. > :16:14.went on for so long, involved so many, then where are the witnesses?

:16:15. > :16:19.There is one outstanding line of inquiry. One of the boys Nick said

:16:20. > :16:24.was murdered resembled Martin Allan, missing since 1979, and so now a new

:16:25. > :16:26.inquiry will begin, its task to explain Martin's unsolved

:22:01. > :22:08.Parents have been bringing their children to the peer to lay flowers.

:22:09. > :22:09.There are thoughts with another family who have suffered unspeakable

:22:10. > :22:17.heartbreak. The world number one Novak Djokovic

:22:18. > :22:19.has weighed into the controversial issue of prize money

:22:20. > :22:21.in tennis competitions, by saying male players should earn

:22:22. > :22:24.more money than their female counterparts because more

:22:25. > :22:25.people watch them play. His comments followed claims

:22:26. > :22:27.by a tournament organiser that the women's game rides

:22:28. > :22:30.on the coat-tails of the men. Here's our Sports

:22:31. > :22:39.Correspondent Andy Swiss. Two champions, same prize money.

:22:40. > :22:44.When Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams won Wimbledon both took

:22:45. > :22:50.home ?1.9 million but suddenly that equality is being questioned as

:22:51. > :22:54.William is lost at the weekend the tournament organiser described the

:22:55. > :23:02.woman's game in less than flattering terms. They ride on the coat-tails

:23:03. > :23:08.of men. They are very lucky. If I was a leading player I would go down

:23:09. > :23:14.every night on my knees and thank God that Roger Federer and Rafael

:23:15. > :23:19.Nadal were born because they have carried the sport. Novak Djokovic

:23:20. > :23:26.said women players had fought for what they deserved but... Our men's

:23:27. > :23:30.tennis world should fight for more because statistics show we have much

:23:31. > :23:38.more spectators in men's tennis matches. Men's tennis generally

:23:39. > :23:43.attracts more TV viewers. Last year 9.2 William watched the men's final

:23:44. > :23:49.at Wimbledon compared to 4.3 million for the women's final. The WTA says

:23:50. > :23:55.women's tennis attracts the hundred 95 million viewers around the world.

:23:56. > :24:01.It has produced some of the biggest stars in women's sport. The biggest

:24:02. > :24:14.of all has hit back. I think those remarks are very much mistaken and

:24:15. > :24:19.very inaccurate. Williams's final last year sold out quicker than the

:24:20. > :24:28.men's final. Some believe that the game has never been stronger. Brands

:24:29. > :24:32.are showing around women's sport. There has been more investment and

:24:33. > :24:39.interest in women's sport in the last year or two than ever. For now

:24:40. > :24:42.this traditionally genteel sport is looking increasingly divided. The

:24:43. > :24:46.question of equality is proving one of controversy.

:24:47. > :24:48.British hopes of winning the oldest trophy in international sport

:24:49. > :24:53.Work has begun on building the catamaran that the Olympian Sir

:24:54. > :24:57.Ben Ainslie believes will bring the America's Cup home

:24:58. > :24:59.to Britain for the first time in its 165 year history.

:25:00. > :25:08.This is what you get when you cross a boat with a plane.

:25:09. > :25:14.But this is only the British team's training

:25:15. > :25:25.The actual race boat is being built in secret here in Hampshire.

:25:26. > :25:29.This is the first time the catamaran has been seen in public.

:25:30. > :25:31.They are starting with the hulls, where layers of composites

:25:32. > :25:44.We would kind of like to be the Mary Berry of boat-building,

:25:45. > :25:46.and not sort of a first-round loser in the bake-off.

:25:47. > :25:49.The race boat won't be finished for months,

:25:50. > :25:52.so for now Sir Ben Ainslie's team is using training

:25:53. > :26:01.This is team two and we are already heading towards 40-50 mph

:26:02. > :26:06.The actual race boat that we've seen will be going at something

:26:07. > :26:18.No one was hurt but it shows the challenges all the teams

:26:19. > :26:21.It's the Everest of sailing, if you like, for us.

:26:22. > :26:25.We've got a fantastic campaign now for the

:26:26. > :26:31.next 12 months building up to Bermuda.

:26:32. > :26:34.As I said, if we can reach our targets we have set

:26:35. > :26:37.in each of the key areas then I think we can

:26:38. > :26:41.Last month Sir Ben's team won the latest warm up round in Oman.

:26:42. > :26:43.But it's Bermuda next year that counts.

:26:44. > :26:45.Could the competition for this silverware finally bring Britain's

:26:46. > :26:52.Duncan Kennedy, BBC News, Portsmouth.

:26:53. > :27:09.It was a mixed bag today. Some of us saw lovely spells of sunshine. A

:27:10. > :27:16.lovely view across the North Sea. A lot of us did not see any sunshine.

:27:17. > :27:21.Some of us stayed under the cloud. This is in northern Scotland. A

:27:22. > :27:27.little bit of rain to go with that. Still breezy. Elsewhere, dry. West

:27:28. > :27:31.is more likely to see cloud. Under clear skies and light wind

:27:32. > :27:40.temperatures drop away. Rural spots will call colder. Northern Scotland

:27:41. > :27:48.still breezy, the occasional spot of rain. Edinburgh should be dry with

:27:49. > :27:54.sunshine. More cloudy in Glasgow. The western side still fairly cloudy

:27:55. > :27:59.but there will be some breaks. Chilly with those breaks. Some mist

:28:00. > :28:04.and fog. Good spells of sunshine for eastern areas away from the mist and

:28:05. > :28:08.fog which should not last long. Cloud increasing as we go into late

:28:09. > :28:10.morning and afternoon but some spells of sunshine through eastern

:28:11. > :28:16.Scotland and southern and eastern parts of England. The winds are late

:28:17. > :28:24.for most places. It should feel pleasant enough but under the cloud

:28:25. > :28:29.it will be at or 9 degrees. Similar on Wednesday. Not much rain. The

:28:30. > :28:34.occasional spot of Brazil. Some showers in the north-west but most

:28:35. > :28:39.places will be dry. This weather front moves away to be replaced by a

:28:40. > :28:40.more active system on Thursday. It is going to be turning increasingly

:28:41. > :28:44.wet and windy. That's all from the BBC News at Six

:28:45. > :28:46.so it's goodbye from me
