:05:49. > :05:54.of them are registered as overcrowded. If we take the long
:05:55. > :05:58.view and go back to 1900 we can see how the present population has been
:05:59. > :06:02.rising for more than a century. It has doubled in the last quarter of a
:06:03. > :06:10.century. Obviously, the population has risen but the proportion jailed
:06:11. > :06:14.in 1901 was 86 out of 100,000 people, today it is more than
:06:15. > :06:21.double. British incarceration rates are the highest in Western Europe.
:06:22. > :06:29.France lock up far fewer, Italy and Germany lower still. In Scandinavian
:06:30. > :06:33.countries present is used much more rarely. Why have our present numbers
:06:34. > :06:41.doubled in recent decades when crime has halved? Commenting on the jail
:06:42. > :06:44.population figures, Labour's Shadow Attorney General recently said it
:06:45. > :06:47.was inconceivable that the sum of human wickedness could have doubled
:06:48. > :06:54.in her lifetime. Today, the Justice Secretary Liz Truss said the real
:06:55. > :06:59.explanation is we've exposed more of the wickedness that was always
:07:00. > :07:04.there. The criminal justice system has got better at catching and
:07:05. > :07:10.convicting criminals. Sentence length is no better reflect the
:07:11. > :07:15.severity of crimes like domestic violence, rate and child abuse. It
:07:16. > :07:22.is not the sum of human wickedness but has doubled, it is that we are
:07:23. > :07:27.driving it out from the shadows and pretending -- putting it where it
:07:28. > :07:33.belongs, behind bars. There are 300,000 more six offenders in jail
:07:34. > :07:38.than before but less violent offenders. What has happened is
:07:39. > :07:42.sentences have got longer, the population has clearly shifted, but
:07:43. > :07:47.the budgets have got smaller. The number of front line officers has
:07:48. > :07:51.fallen sharply and with fewer staff, assaults, self harm and suicide have
:07:52. > :07:56.reached record levels. What is to be done? You could spend more money but
:07:57. > :07:59.the Ministry of Justice is demanding efficiency savings. You could insist
:08:00. > :08:05.fewer people are jailed but ministers claimed that would
:08:06. > :08:08.endanger the public. This government is pinning hopes on reoffending
:08:09. > :08:11.dropping. The Co-Op Bank has announced it's
:08:12. > :08:13.putting itself up for sale. The high street bank -
:08:14. > :08:16.which has more than 4 million customers -
:08:17. > :08:18.almost collapsed in 2013 after It was bailed out by American hedge
:08:19. > :08:21.funds but has struggled to strengthen its finances
:08:22. > :08:24.because of low interest rates. Our business editor Simon Jack
:08:25. > :08:26.reports on its problems and what the sale could mean
:08:27. > :08:33.for the bank's customers. At the co-operative bank we believe
:08:34. > :08:49.actions speak louder than words. Well named for its ethical stance,
:08:50. > :08:51.the actions of the Co-op Bank have given it a rather more difficult
:08:52. > :09:05.reputation. Co-op Bank's problems started with
:09:06. > :09:15.an ill-fated merger with Britannia Building Society. It helped punch a
:09:16. > :09:22.hole in the finances. Paul Flowers was embroiled in a drug scandal in
:09:23. > :09:34.November of the year. The required an emergency rescue in me which saw
:09:35. > :09:43.their stake cut to 20%. Today, the foresail SANE was put up and the new
:09:44. > :09:53.boss explained why. The scale of the transformation challenge that we
:09:54. > :09:58.took on was bigger than expected. Since there are near death
:09:59. > :10:03.experience, the Co-op Bank has never really regained full financial
:10:04. > :10:09.health. A combination of problems have meant it has been very
:10:10. > :10:13.difficult for banks big and small to build up their cash reserves and the
:10:14. > :10:21.only options open to them are for the current owners to put in more
:10:22. > :10:26.money or put themselves up for sale. The Co-op is a classic bank caught
:10:27. > :10:30.in the middle, not big enough to join the big boys and too big to be
:10:31. > :10:39.nimble. Other banks are in a similar position. PSP, virgin money. -- TSB.
:10:40. > :10:45.If you joined them with a bag of that size you could start to make
:10:46. > :10:53.the kind of cost savings. Getting that right is important. Whoever
:10:54. > :11:00.they sell to have to have the same sort of principles. It seems to have
:11:01. > :11:08.gone downhill. Is everything going to go online? For customers it is
:11:09. > :11:12.business as usual but the high Street could lose 150-year-old name.

:11:44. > :11:45.The authorities warned that both overflow channels were damaged
:11:46. > :11:49.and they are concerned that a 30 foot wall of water could hit homes
:11:50. > :11:52.Overnight they've been trying to reduce water levels -
:11:53. > :12:08.The Oroville dam has been unable to cope with historically high levels
:12:09. > :12:14.of rain. The overflow channel crumbled to pieces. For the first
:12:15. > :12:21.time since it was built, it was relying on an emergency overflow
:12:22. > :12:26.channel, but that was soon in trouble as well. Nearly 200,000
:12:27. > :12:32.people were told to leave their homes immediately, sent to
:12:33. > :12:36.evacuation centres set up across the surrounding area. My neighbourhood
:12:37. > :12:41.was already basically empty. I panicked and started putting things
:12:42. > :12:44.in my car. I'm a little bit scared. We are trying not to go near the
:12:45. > :12:51.area so we can go home but we will probably be stuck down here. For the
:12:52. > :12:54.first time in 25 years the National Guard has put in place a state-wide
:12:55. > :13:01.alert and soldiers are being sent into the area amidst worries from
:13:02. > :13:08.locals about looting. Last time we did this was the 1992 riots. We put
:13:09. > :13:13.out a notification not to report them but to be ready to go for all
:13:14. > :13:18.who are part of the Californian National Guard. Effort to plug the
:13:19. > :13:26.damaged by using helicopters were successful, the authorities said. By
:13:27. > :13:32.Sunday night the water level had decreased enough that the emergency
:13:33. > :13:39.channel was no longer in use. But there was relief expected. No

:15:14. > :15:24.visited 50 Tesco stores across England and found out-of-date
:15:25. > :15:35.special offers in 33 of them. At some stores, staff say it's
:15:36. > :15:41.a recurring problem. And at another store,

:16:25. > :16:26.problems with their control of the special offers,
:16:27. > :16:28.and it's the special offers that bring customers in,
:16:29. > :16:30.make people reach for more and perhaps spend a little bit

:27:42. > :27:46.will pick up in the sunshine, but for eastern Scotland it stays cloudy
:27:47. > :27:49.and it won't get all that warm here. This patchy rain across the
