:00:11. > :00:15.Labour attacks as undemocratic plans to cut the number of MPs.

:00:16. > :00:20.Constituency boundaries could be changed to create

:00:21. > :00:37.There is an absence of fairness in these proposals, which I don't

:00:38. > :00:46.But the government says the changes would ensure

:00:47. > :00:50.Also in the programme: he Great British bunfight -

:00:51. > :00:52.now hosts Mel and Sue say they'll quit.

:00:53. > :00:54.The British nurse who contracted ebola is accused

:00:55. > :02:01.Day two of the temporary truce in Syria holds

:02:02. > :02:08.to cut the number of MPs and to create equal-sized seats

:02:09. > :02:26.The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the former Chancellor George Osborne

:02:27. > :02:28.are among those whose seats would go.

:02:29. > :02:30.The total number of MPs across the United Kingdom

:02:31. > :03:06.The changes would affect at least 550 constituencies.

:03:07. > :03:08.The party performs better in urban seats

:03:09. > :03:09.like Stoke, which tend to have fewer voters.

:03:10. > :03:12.Under the plans, every constituency will have between 71,000

:03:13. > :03:18.So in England the number of MPs will fall from 533

:03:19. > :03:23.From 40 to 29 in Wales from, 59 to 53 in Scotland and from 18

:03:24. > :03:42.Orkney and Shetland and the Western Isles will

:03:43. > :03:45.have fewer voters, as will the two new constituencies on the Isle of

:03:46. > :03:48.The Government's determined every seat shall be equal.

:03:49. > :03:49.Currently, we have seatings which are three

:03:50. > :03:53.So one elector's vote is worth three times

:03:54. > :03:56.That simply is not fair, which is why we are determined

:03:57. > :03:59.to ensure that we have equal sized constituencies, which is

:04:00. > :04:02.But some of the plans are controversial.

:04:03. > :04:04.For the first time a new constituency will straddle the

:04:05. > :04:07.Cornwall/Devon border across the Tamar and there is strong local

:04:08. > :04:09.We are one country, they're another country.

:04:10. > :04:11.Why don't they just keep it to themselveses?

:04:12. > :04:13.I think it will be fine, because you

:04:14. > :04:15.know we are all very similar Devon and Cornwall.

:04:16. > :04:17.For Labour there is another dimension to these boundary

:04:18. > :04:21.All three of the MPs here in Stoke have been really critical

:04:22. > :04:24.of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership and his supporters have already raised

:04:25. > :04:26.the possibility of using the shake-up of the constituencies to

:04:27. > :04:29.get rid of these MPs and bring in their own people, potentially

:04:30. > :04:31.changing the face of the Labour Party.

:04:32. > :04:33.In terms of anyone trying to

:04:34. > :04:36.exploit this for political gain, for making this about them and not

:04:37. > :04:39.about the people we choose to serve, they

:04:40. > :04:44.This process has been likened to a game of

:04:45. > :04:46.musical chairs, but MPs and

:04:47. > :04:48.the House of Lords still have to approve

:04:49. > :04:50.the measures and there is a

:04:51. > :05:01.public consultation, so the is still everything to play for.

:05:02. > :05:05.If you want to know how your local area could be affected,

:05:06. > :05:07.here's lots of information on our website - including a full breakdown

:05:08. > :05:14.The two hosts of the Great British Bake-Off, Sue Perkins

:05:15. > :05:18.and Mel Giedroyc will quit the programme when it leaves the BBC

:05:19. > :05:20.after the current series to go to Channel Four.

:05:21. > :05:22.BBC News understands the corporation would have had to spend an extra

:05:23. > :05:25.?10 million a year to keep one of its most popular programmes.

:05:26. > :05:27.The BBC said it doesn't have infinite resources.

:05:28. > :05:29.Our Media Correspondent, David Sillito, is outside the

:05:30. > :05:35.What does this mean for the future of the programme?

:05:36. > :05:44.Well, all this came from more than a year of talks and last night the BBC

:05:45. > :05:49.said - ?15 million, and no more. It seems like the end for the BBC and

:05:50. > :05:55.suddenly in came Channel Four offering ?25 million and it seemed

:05:56. > :05:58.like a done deal. But it appears - it has certainly emerged, that

:05:59. > :06:01.no-one had been talking to the presenters.

:06:02. > :06:07.Three weeks in, they are on a roll, as are we. Mel and Sue. The

:06:08. > :06:11.presenters of Britain's biggest show. Welcome to Great British Bake

:06:12. > :06:15.Off. It is not welcome today. It is goodbye. Following a decision to

:06:16. > :06:18.move to Channel 4, they issued a statement saying - we were very

:06:19. > :06:20.shocked and saddened to learn yesterday evening that Bake Off will

:06:21. > :06:39.be moving from its home: It's gutting. They are one of the

:06:40. > :06:42.main reasons I watch it. It is a real shame. They add a lot to the

:06:43. > :06:49.programme. I think it is terrible. It is part of our constitution.

:06:50. > :06:52.Channel 4 and Love Production said they respected Mel and Sue's

:06:53. > :06:57.decision to go but it raises a few questions about the move. It emerged

:06:58. > :07:02.today the BBC was outbid by Channel 4 by around ?10 million and a former

:07:03. > :07:06.Channel 4 Chief Executive was not happy with what they have done.

:07:07. > :07:10.Channel 4 has very seriously shot itself in the foot with this deal.

:07:11. > :07:14.They have spent two years arguing against privatisation and they have

:07:15. > :07:19.now behaved precisely like a fully privatised company. In response,

:07:20. > :07:23.Channel 4 said its public service programming is at a record level.

:07:24. > :07:26.But what seemed like a done deal has more than a few unanswered

:07:27. > :07:30.questions. Mary Berry is reported today to have said the move

:07:31. > :07:34.certainly wasn't her decision, but TV is a business. And the take-off

:07:35. > :07:40.of the Bake Off's ratings has changed everything. This year's tent

:07:41. > :07:42.has now been packed away but when it reappears, it looks set to be

:07:43. > :07:48.Channel 4's signature dish. MPs are calling for an emergency

:07:49. > :07:51.debate as hundreds of low income families say their tax credits have

:07:52. > :07:54.been cut in error. One example is a teenage mother

:07:55. > :07:57.who says she was left struggling to feed her child after her money

:07:58. > :08:00.was stopped when she was incorrectly accused of being married

:08:01. > :08:02.to a dead 74-year-old. Labour is demanding the US company

:08:03. > :08:05.hired by the government to investigate suspected benefit

:08:06. > :08:18.fraud be stripped of its contract. Concentri sx, a high value, global

:08:19. > :08:22.business company. We are a multinational company who

:08:23. > :08:31.have been asked to reduce the benefits bill. We are global and

:08:32. > :08:35.local. The company stand accused of making numerous errors themselves.

:08:36. > :08:41.They were accusing me of being married to a 74-year-old bloke that

:08:42. > :08:44.used to live here, way before I did. 19-year-old Nicola Mackenzie is a

:08:45. > :08:52.single mother from West Yorkshire. Her tax credits were stopped when

:08:53. > :08:59.krflt oncentrix told her she was married. The man who is meant to be

:09:00. > :09:02.her husband, is actually dead but she told Victoria Derbyshire

:09:03. > :09:09.programme, the company wanted her to prove T I said he was deceased in

:09:10. > :09:13.July 2016. They said, you need him to make contact. I said -- heaven

:09:14. > :09:20.doesn't have opening hours. Hundreds of tax credit recipients, mostly in

:09:21. > :09:23.low-wage jobs, have contacted MPs in recent weeks to complain about

:09:24. > :09:28.Concentrix stopping their benefit. This single mother says she has been

:09:29. > :09:36.left with just ?20 to last the next fortnight. It's soul destroying. I

:09:37. > :09:45.have worked 3 # years. I worked from the day I left school, full time. -

:09:46. > :09:48.32 years And to come to this. Concentrix has a three-year contract

:09:49. > :09:52.to save the Government some of the billion or so wrongly paid annually

:09:53. > :09:56.in tax credits. It is a payment by results model. Essentially the more

:09:57. > :10:00.they save tax payers, the more they earn. So far they've put nearly ?300

:10:01. > :10:05.million from the overall bill but MPs say they are increasingly making

:10:06. > :10:11.mistakes. They have given them case after case after case, where they

:10:12. > :10:15.have cut first, and thought and acted afterwards and I hope the new

:10:16. > :10:21.Government is actually going to be concerned with this and will act.

:10:22. > :10:37.In a statement, within the past half hour, the company told us:

:10:38. > :10:45.Those who have lost out will hope Concentrix resolve their problems

:10:46. > :10:48.quickly. The ceasefire in Syria's

:10:49. > :10:51.five-year war is largely The seven-day truce hopes to allow

:10:52. > :10:55.in humanitarian aid and suspend fighting between Syrian Government

:10:56. > :10:56.forces and many of the main If the ceasefire holds,

:10:57. > :11:00.then the US and Russia will carry out joint air strikes on militant

:11:01. > :11:03.groups not included in the truce - The confirmed death toll

:11:04. > :11:10.from the five-year conflict has now risen to over 301,000 people -

:11:11. > :11:13.with the actual figure Our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen

:11:14. > :11:18.is in Aleppo in Syria and sent this report from the city's

:11:19. > :11:23.old market place. They say a couple of

:11:24. > :11:29.dozen metres from rebel positions and this is -

:11:30. > :11:33.was - one of the oldest covered Today, because of the ceasefire,

:11:34. > :11:45.they tell me that things are quieter than they have been

:11:46. > :11:48.because there has been fierce fighting over

:11:49. > :11:52.the course of the summer. Certainly I was speaking to one

:11:53. > :11:55.general and he said by about midday More if things have

:11:56. > :12:03.really flared up. The question about this

:12:04. > :12:06.ceasefire is, if it lasts, Will there be some kind of political

:12:07. > :12:14.process built upon it that might inch this country away

:12:15. > :12:17.from war towards peace? Or will it simply be,

:12:18. > :12:20.as others have been, a time for armies to rest,

:12:21. > :12:25.to regroup, to resupply and to get Of course, the damage

:12:26. > :12:32.here is absolutely tragic. But, the loss of human life,

:12:33. > :12:36.perhaps 400,000 dead in Syria, over more than five years,

:12:37. > :12:42.that's much worse. You can't bring back all those

:12:43. > :12:52.who've died in the country that used to be here -

:12:53. > :12:55.the mix of people. Jeremy Bowen reporting

:12:56. > :12:57.there from Aleppo. Campaigners calling for a public

:12:58. > :13:00.inquiry into the policing of the clash between the police

:13:01. > :13:04.and striking miners at Orgeave 32 years ago have met

:13:05. > :13:06.with the Home Secretary, They were told she will give her

:13:07. > :13:17.decision by the end of October. The campaign has focussed

:13:18. > :13:20.on the conduct of South Yorkshire police outside a coking plant,

:13:21. > :13:22.and the accounts they gave The highest September temperatures

:13:23. > :13:25.since 1911 have been recorded The mercury hit more than 34

:13:26. > :13:34.degrees Celsius in places, and much of the south of England has

:13:35. > :13:37.been bathed in sunshine. The unusually hot weather has

:13:38. > :13:39.brought health warnings, too. Duncan Kennedy is Eastbourne -

:13:40. > :13:55.an unexpected last blast of summer? This beach was crowded today. One of

:13:56. > :14:01.the places which saw temperatures rise into the late 20s, 28. But it

:14:02. > :14:04.was at Gravesend in Kent we saw the incredible figure of 34.4. A

:14:05. > :14:08.September figure not seen since 1911. Now, whilst many people like

:14:09. > :14:11.here and elsewhere have been enjoying it, you are right, there'll

:14:12. > :14:23.besome health warnings as well. This morning forecasters were right

:14:24. > :14:28.about the scorcher bit. Dry, warm and sunny highs... But way off on

:14:29. > :14:33.the temperatures. This was Brighton. It could have been Benidorm. Whilst

:14:34. > :14:37.next door in Eastbourne, the swimmers and sunbathers couldn't

:14:38. > :14:43.believe it. What difference does it make having temperatures around 30?

:14:44. > :14:47.Well, it is a bonus. Is it a sign of things to come, I don't know sn Did

:14:48. > :14:53.you expect to be on the beach in September? No. Gravesend in Kent hit

:14:54. > :15:03.34.4 degrees. The highest September temperature since 1911. Public

:15:04. > :15:09.Health England warned elderly people to be careful. What is the message

:15:10. > :15:16.for the elderly? To put on plenty of cream and fluids. Here in Sussex,

:15:17. > :15:21.they were applying suntan lotion to the llama's ears, whilst the

:15:22. > :15:27.merecats were treated to cooling broccoli ice lollies and with it a

:15:28. > :15:31.message to animal owners. Animal welfare doesn't stop at the zoo.

:15:32. > :15:39.Good ventilation, and going for a walk in the cool part of the day.

:15:40. > :15:45.Sun striking thing is the number of daddy long legs around. Researchers

:15:46. > :15:49.think there are 200 billion of them. We have a warm climate with warmer,

:15:50. > :15:53.milder summers, perfect conditions. Temperatures also soared. Further

:15:54. > :15:57.north, in Bradford it was playtime in the park, whilst at Gillingham in

:15:58. > :16:03.kept, they saw 30 degree temperatures for serve hours today.

:16:04. > :16:08.But look at this - Cardiff. One area in western Britain where yellow rain

:16:09. > :16:09.warnings are in place. September 2016, exceptional for

:16:10. > :16:16.some, forgettable for others. Plans to cut the number of MPs

:19:22. > :19:29.dramatic night. The Scottish nurse,

:19:30. > :19:31.Pauline Cafferkey, who contracted ebola in West Africa in 2014 has

:19:32. > :19:34.appeared at a hearing to decide whether she deliberately

:19:35. > :19:42.concealed her high temperature The panel agreed to drop the charge

:19:43. > :19:46.that she acted dishonestly when her temperature was recorded during

:19:47. > :19:51.screening. Let's speak to our Scotland correspondent. Pauline

:19:52. > :19:54.Cafferkey has suffered a protacted ordeal in terms of contracting

:19:55. > :19:58.Ebola. What else was said at the hearing today? Yes, it's been a very

:19:59. > :20:03.stressful two years for Pauline Cafferkey. She was here throughout

:20:04. > :20:06.this first day of the hearing. She has admitted allowing her

:20:07. > :20:09.temperature being recorded incorrectly while transiting through

:20:10. > :20:16.an Ebola screening area at Heathrow. At the time her temperature was

:20:17. > :20:22.above 38. Instead it was recorded by a colleague as being 37. 2. We heard

:20:23. > :20:26.from two medical experts who said her judgment at the time would have

:20:27. > :20:30.been impaired because she was in the early stages of this life

:20:31. > :20:34.threatening illness. And she was suffering from exhaustion. The

:20:35. > :20:38.dishonesty charge is dropped but others are still handing. Falling

:20:39. > :20:42.short of the standards expecting and potentially putting the public at

:20:43. > :20:46.risk. Miss Cafferkey and her solicitor reject those allegations.

:20:47. > :20:50.Her solicitor said there was no evidence of serious professional

:20:51. > :20:52.misconduct by Miss Cafferkey, who has been excellent unblemished

:20:53. > :20:53.record as a nurse. The hearing here will continue tomorrow.

:20:54. > :20:59.Thank you. Jeremy Corbyn is delusional

:21:00. > :21:01.and kidding himself - not the barbs of a Conservative

:21:02. > :21:03.opponent, but the words of the Labour MP fighting Mr Corbyn

:21:04. > :21:06.for the leadership of the party. The winner will be announced in just

:21:07. > :21:12.under a fortnight and contender Owen Smith has been talking

:21:13. > :21:25.to our Political Editor, I'm calling from the owen Smith

:21:26. > :21:31.campaign. Owen has a track record for taking on the Tories and beating

:21:32. > :21:33.them. Hard going. Owen Smith's supporters trying to persuade Labour

:21:34. > :21:42.members even when they are opted move. They know and he knows Jeremy

:21:43. > :21:50.Corbyn's the overwhelming favourite. Well, a room in a leisure centre is

:21:51. > :22:00.ready for another marathon call. Good morning. A leader has to win.

:22:01. > :22:05.With Jeremy we have no chance. Jeremy Corbyn claims the Tories are

:22:06. > :22:09.in retreat I think it is delusional and I think the reality is Jeremy

:22:10. > :22:12.needs to think a bit more about the straight, honest politics he started

:22:13. > :22:17.his campaign with. The straight, honest truth is that we are, right

:22:18. > :22:21.now, at our lowest ebb in the polls, ever. I think he is misleading

:22:22. > :22:25.himself if he thinks we are heading towards an electoral victory. So you

:22:26. > :22:28.are suggesting that he and some of his supporters are lying. They have

:22:29. > :22:34.said repeatedly - look, they have been ahead in some opinion polls,

:22:35. > :22:36.Labour has been doing well in by-elections and won mayoral

:22:37. > :22:40.elections. That possibly isn't true. Isn't truth he has been able to

:22:41. > :22:48.motivate thousands of supporters and you haven't, in the same way.

:22:49. > :22:51.Michael Foot drew 20,000 to rallies. We have had mass rallies many times

:22:52. > :22:53.in the past. It doesn't necessarily translate into the only mass

:22:54. > :22:58.movement that really matters, which is the mass movement of people

:22:59. > :23:03.voting Labour. He says his values are the same as the leader he is

:23:04. > :23:07.trying to beat. We are going to ask you to write down the most important

:23:08. > :23:10.thing for the next Labour Party leader. But for some of Owen's

:23:11. > :23:16.supporters, the most important thing seems that he is not Mr Corbyn.

:23:17. > :23:26.Reveal your words. Unity, leadership, listening.

:23:27. > :23:31.It feels like Jeremy closes himself off Hynd the walls in the Opposition

:23:32. > :23:37.office and refuses to listen to anyone with a different opinion.

:23:38. > :23:40.It's as simple as that. The Labour Party has always been in coalition

:23:41. > :23:44.with the Members of Parliament and the members of the party and the

:23:45. > :23:47.trade unions. I have written communication. I have written

:23:48. > :23:52.voters. Principles. Feminism. I think we have forgotten that we are

:23:53. > :23:57.a movement and not a man. Don't you and your colleagues, though, in

:23:58. > :24:03.Westminster, have to accept that if he wins again, the party is changed?

:24:04. > :24:09.Well, my vision of the Labour Party is a serious party of power. Is of a

:24:10. > :24:13.party that's created, was created, still exists in order to hold power

:24:14. > :24:16.at Westminster through the ballot box in order to change people's

:24:17. > :24:21.lives. If you don't win this time, would you run again? I'm not going

:24:22. > :24:25.to get into that. I will wait and see what happens on 24th. Would you

:24:26. > :24:29.rule it out? I'm in the ruling anything in or out. Thinkties a

:24:30. > :24:33.hypothetical question for the dim and distant future. Let's get to the

:24:34. > :24:39.24th and see what happens. So, what is most important to him? That's

:24:40. > :24:41.what we need. Labour's huge new membership will judge if he is a

:24:42. > :24:47.priority for them. His characters capture

:24:48. > :24:48.the imagination and bring joy to millions of children

:24:49. > :24:51.in the Britain and around the world. The BFG, Willy Wonka and Matilda

:24:52. > :24:54.are just some of the many creations of the writer Roald Dahl who would

:24:55. > :24:57.have been 100 years old today. And nowhere is commemorating him

:24:58. > :25:01.with more enthusiasm than Cardiff, where he grew up -

:25:02. > :25:05.as Sian Lloyd now reports. "I is not understanding human beings

:25:06. > :25:08.at all", the BFG said. "Mr Willy Wonka can make

:25:09. > :25:12.marshmallows that taste of violet." Stories that are loved by millions

:25:13. > :25:15.of children, including pupils at Roald Dahl's

:25:16. > :25:25.former school in Cardiff. Reading to celebrate the centenary

:25:26. > :25:27.of his birth, when his work is more

:25:28. > :25:28.popular than ever. His story began here,

:25:29. > :25:42.100 years ago today. The family home in Cardiff has

:25:43. > :25:44.changed little since Roald Dahl His earliest recollections were

:25:45. > :25:53.formed here and some played a part in the magical stories

:25:54. > :25:56.that he later went on to write. "Ah", said the BFG, "I is wondering

:25:57. > :26:01.how long it is before Roald Dahl wrote many

:26:02. > :26:05.of his books in a shed An idea he said he got

:26:06. > :26:10.from the Welsh author Dylan Thomas, "Oh you wicked beastly

:26:11. > :26:16.beast", cried Trunky. He began writing for children

:26:17. > :26:19.more than 70 years ago. His stories still rank alongside

:26:20. > :26:21.modern day best sellers. He popularised, I think,

:26:22. > :26:24.the children's book as a genre and now those readers are parents

:26:25. > :26:30.who are passing on that legacy. Dahl worked closely

:26:31. > :26:37.with the illustrator Quintin Blake. He used to say you could talk

:26:38. > :26:40.to children about everything, I think the drawings

:26:41. > :26:51.are a way of saying - you are not to take

:26:52. > :26:54.this too seriously. And in some schools,

:26:55. > :26:57.the celebrations for what would have been Roald Dahl's 100th birthday,

:26:58. > :27:16.have been as colourful Nick. For some parts of the country

:27:17. > :27:23.a scorcher. Absolutely. For others, it has been chucking

:27:24. > :27:26.down. We have had 27 mm of rain in one hour in Keel in Staffordshire.

:27:27. > :27:30.Let's talk about the heat. It is exceptional for this time of year.

:27:31. > :27:34.29 in Hull. Glasgow sitting around 15 this afternoon. So, why the

:27:35. > :27:37.difference? It all depends how close you are to this weather front across

:27:38. > :27:42.western parts of Britain. Along that weather front we have had pulses of

:27:43. > :27:44.energy riding north, along it, producing under thisry outbreaks of

:27:45. > :27:49.rain and intense downpours in places. This weather front still a

:27:50. > :27:52.player over the next few days. We will look at the rainfall picture as

:27:53. > :27:56.it developed over the past few hours. The rain bouncing off the

:27:57. > :28:00.ground in the West Midlands and heavy bursts into north-west

:28:01. > :28:03.England. We are concerned about the risk of intense thunderstorms, the

:28:04. > :28:07.north Pennines into south-east Scotland. At the very least, some

:28:08. > :28:13.developing surface watered and spray. All this pushing further

:28:14. > :28:16.north may clips parts of Northern Ireland and into northern Scotland

:28:17. > :28:22.and storms maybe later into the night in the far south-west and does

:28:23. > :28:26.by day, big temperatures that's the picture by night. Warm today and

:28:27. > :28:29.very hot overnight. Near 20. Tomorrow cloud in Northern Ireland

:28:30. > :28:34.could deliver outbreaks of rain, still to northern Scotland and the

:28:35. > :28:38.early storms will push away from the south-west, leaving much of England

:28:39. > :28:42.and Wales dry, sunny spells. A cloudier day for south-east Scotland

:28:43. > :28:46.north-east England. Warmer for Wales and west of England but heat very

:28:47. > :28:50.much into south-east England, East Ang Leeia, the East Midlands, here

:28:51. > :28:54.temperatures near 30. Fronts moving north across northern Britain,

:28:55. > :28:55.Thursday to Thursday night. Cooler for all by the end of the
