:05:38. > :05:44.change the terms of the debate to convince us that Brexit is not
:05:45. > :05:49.inevitable. He is setting up an Institute to try to further the
:05:50. > :05:53.cause. He has provoked an onslaught of abuse from many of the leading
:05:54. > :05:58.Brexit campaigners who say that it shows that he is arrogant, out of
:05:59. > :06:04.touch, it is undemocratic, teaching the British people as fools. It is
:06:05. > :06:07.worth remembering he is also contradicting the present Labour
:06:08. > :06:11.leader Jeremy Corbyn who says that his party will respect the vote in
:06:12. > :06:16.the referendum last year and has instructed his MPs to support the
:06:17. > :06:20.move is to begin the formal Brexit negotiations. Tony Blair is somebody
:06:21. > :06:25.who in his day was a remarkable campaign. He won three general
:06:26. > :06:30.elections. The legacy of the Iraq war means he is a hugely divisive
:06:31. > :06:35.figure and even some of those who share his concerns about Brexit may
:06:36. > :06:40.be wary of his involvement. Tony Blair's intervention is not going to
:06:41. > :06:44.problem for the government as it embarks on this mission but it does
:06:45. > :06:51.face some really huge difficulties on the road to Brexit.
:06:52. > :06:52.One is famous for its brands like Marmite.
:06:53. > :06:55.The other, the US food giant Kraft Heinz, has ketchup
:06:56. > :07:06.But now Kraft Heinz has made a ?100 billion takeover bid for Unilever,
:07:07. > :07:12.But the signs are that Kraft may well continue to push for a deal.
:07:13. > :07:15.If it happens it would be one of the largest mergers
:07:16. > :07:17.Our Business Editor Simon Jack reports.
:07:18. > :07:23.Unilever, a name that may not be known in every household, but every
:07:24. > :07:36.household will recognise what techniques. Marmite, PG tips, Surf
:07:37. > :07:40.and dozens more. Hines which makes beans, and Cadbury, wants to put
:07:41. > :07:43.these brands in one basket. Unilever say that Kraft trying to get the
:07:44. > :07:48.company on the cheap and have rejected the offer but in mega deals
:07:49. > :07:54.like this the first offer is rarely the last and Kraft will have a plan
:07:55. > :07:58.to justify a higher one. They do that by radically cutting costs with
:07:59. > :08:02.Unilever and pushing up Unilever's profits beyond what Unilever have
:08:03. > :08:07.been prepared to offer to the market. Kraft will do that because
:08:08. > :08:13.they have a different perception of what they are rated profit is done
:08:14. > :08:18.here in Europe. When it comes to takeovers that does not get much
:08:19. > :08:22.bigger than this. Kraft is offering ?115 billion which would put it in
:08:23. > :08:26.the top three mergers and acquisitions of all time. The
:08:27. > :08:31.combined company would be worth over ?200 billion. It would wield
:08:32. > :08:36.enormous power. One of the reasons both company's shares rose on the
:08:37. > :08:42.prospect that a deal may yet be done. Kraft has a track record of
:08:43. > :08:51.buying well-known UK brands and not a good one. In 2009 Ed Bott Cadbury.
:08:52. > :08:55.After promising to keep the factory near Bristol open it backtracked.
:08:56. > :08:58.That led to changes to the takeover rules requiring companies to spell
:08:59. > :09:02.out their plans for jobs and premises in more detail but many
:09:03. > :09:06.feel they do not go far enough. At the moment the legal powers do not
:09:07. > :09:13.allow the government to block takeovers of this kind but there is
:09:14. > :09:23.a wider competition this year which the competition authorities should
:09:24. > :09:28.investigate. Sky was snapped up. Great businesses on special, say
:09:29. > :09:34.others. Unilever says it is not just about price. These two companies
:09:35. > :09:34.just do not go well together. Shareholders will have the last
:09:35. > :09:39.word. The driver of a bin lorry that
:09:40. > :09:42.crashed in Glasgow in 2014, killing six people, has admitted
:09:43. > :09:44.to a motoring offence that occurred Harry Clarke, seen here
:09:45. > :09:48.on the right, pleaded guilty to culpable and reckless driving
:09:49. > :09:52.in September 2015. His licence had already been
:09:53. > :09:54.revoked after the crash Our correspondent Steven Godden
:09:55. > :10:10.is at Glasgow Sheriff Court. It was the mag days before Christmas
:10:11. > :10:13.in 2014 Harry Clark was driving a bin lorry through the centre of
:10:14. > :10:19.Glasgow when he lost consciousness and the chaos that followed his
:10:20. > :10:23.out-of-control vehicle, knocking over pedestrians, and six people
:10:24. > :10:27.were killed. In the vehicle accident on Friday it was determined that
:10:28. > :10:31.tragedy could been prevented if Harry Clarke had not lied about his
:10:32. > :10:35.history of blackouts. He has never been prosecuted for what happened
:10:36. > :10:40.that day but he had his licence revoked. That is crucial to today.
:10:41. > :10:44.Nine months after the bin lorry crash, neighbours saw Harry Clarke
:10:45. > :10:49.in the car park outside his house. He drove the car out onto the street
:10:50. > :10:54.and return two hours later. Prosecutors said he was a danger to
:10:55. > :11:00.the public, he should have known he was unfit to drive. They accepted
:11:01. > :11:03.his guilty plea to a charge of reckless and dangerous driving. He
:11:04. > :11:07.left without making any comment but he will be back here at the end of
:11:08. > :11:10.next month for sentencing when he could be jailed.

:11:39. > :11:41.And in April they're set to change for the first time in seven years
:11:42. > :11:43.to reflect the shift in property values in many areas.
:11:44. > :11:46.But some of the revaluations are so dramatic that many
:11:47. > :11:48.businesses, big and small, are worried about the impact.
:11:49. > :11:50.Some even fear they could be put out of business.
:11:51. > :11:53.But the government maintains that more will end up benefiting
:11:54. > :12:05.It is a tale of two high streets. On the left there is Bolton where many
:12:06. > :12:11.business rates are going down. On the right, London's Brick Lane, now
:12:12. > :12:17.the home of hipsters where rates are going up. The owner of this
:12:18. > :12:21.chocolate shop currently pays ?29,000 in rates. She does not know
:12:22. > :12:26.her new bell but that's expert has worked it out. It is not good.
:12:27. > :12:34.Unfortunately your bill over the next five years will increase up to
:12:35. > :12:39.?47,000 per year. Effectively a 62% increase over five years. I am
:12:40. > :12:48.speechless. If we can afford it it will be by the skin of our teeth.
:12:49. > :12:51.It is all change on business rates, from shops and pubs

:13:13. > :13:17.More than half a million of them whose bills are going up.
:13:18. > :13:20.The level of increases is just enormous.
:13:21. > :13:27.And it is very difficult to see any business, particularly
:13:28. > :13:32.when business rates are often the third largest
:13:33. > :13:34.outgoing, to sustain that level of increase.
:13:35. > :13:36.It is very difficult to see those businesses
:13:37. > :13:38.This is the biggest shake-up to business
:13:39. > :13:42.Streets like this one will have to share a far
:13:43. > :13:44.bigger burden than they used to because property values have gone
:13:45. > :13:48.But in other parts of the country, the changes will bring
:13:49. > :13:53.Back to Bolton and a family run bakery who reckon
:13:54. > :14:06.Our rateable value on this premises has gone down. We are a net gain in
:14:07. > :14:12.this shop by about ?4000 a year. We quite like it. Under devolution
:14:13. > :14:16.there are changes in Scotland and Wales as well. Edinburgh Castle will
:14:17. > :14:21.see its rates rocket. Northern Ireland will not get an overhaul for
:14:22. > :14:24.another few years. In England the government says the changes will be
:14:25. > :14:27.phased in and more will benefit than lose out but for those who do life
:14:28. > :14:33.may be far from sweet. Tony Blair calls on people

:19:28. > :19:32.suggested it was time Our Sports Correspondent David
:19:33. > :19:49.Ornstein is at the Emirates Stadium. For 21 years Arsenal and Arsene
:19:50. > :19:53.Wenger have gone hand in hand. But the club have struggled to get their
:19:54. > :19:57.hands on a major trophy recently. He has been under pressure before but
:19:58. > :19:59.is out of contract in the summer and today for the first time
:20:00. > :20:04.acknowledged that his time here could be coming to a close. For
:20:05. > :20:11.Arsenal the feeling was all too familiar. Badly beaten, all eyes on
:20:12. > :20:16.the boss. For club and coach, is the end finally in sight? No matter what
:20:17. > :20:21.happens I will manage next season. Visit here or somewhere else, you
:20:22. > :20:25.know? That's absolutely for sure. You do not stay somewhere for 20
:20:26. > :20:32.years and what out after a defeat like that. I have the strength and
:20:33. > :20:38.experience to respond to that. In 1996 he arrived to headlines of
:20:39. > :20:47.Arsene who? But he silenced critics by collecting trophies. He turned
:20:48. > :20:49.the likes of Thierry Henry into superstars and his team became
:20:50. > :20:52.invincible is, going an entire league season unbeaten. Three
:20:53. > :20:56.Premier League titles and six FA cups among his achievements. Arsene
:20:57. > :21:01.Wenger has not only managed this club but transformed it. The club,
:21:02. > :21:05.the new stadium, and this state-of-the-art training ground are
:21:06. > :21:09.all based on his vision. But not everything has gone to plan, he has
:21:10. > :21:15.failed to conquer Europe and has not won league title since 2004 causing
:21:16. > :21:19.a split amongst the fans. I have never seen Arsenal win the league
:21:20. > :21:24.which is sad and I want that to happen. He has done us proud but I
:21:25. > :21:29.think he has overstayed now. Enough is enough, we need to move on. I
:21:30. > :21:36.would like to announce he's going to step down now so he can go out on a

:24:52. > :24:57.horrible. He's lovely. It hasn't always been easy. Joan helped Ken
:24:58. > :25:06.get treatment for schizophrenia. Did she save your life? Yes. We just

:25:17. > :25:24.I think of you, I don't have to put it into words. He's just that part
:25:25. > :25:29.of me. They will marry tomorrow with the full support of their families
:25:30. > :25:33.on what will be Joan's birthday. What does the future hold in store?

:25:46. > :25:57.Spring blooms encouraged again this weekend, some mild weather for the
:25:58. > :26:02.past few days, staying that way, the breeze will pick up once again but
:26:03. > :26:07.it would be bone dry, outbreaks of rain affecting western and northern
:26:08. > :26:10.parts of the UK overnight am not amounting to match, pepping up a bit
:26:11. > :26:14.in west of Scotland later in the night. With the blanket of cloud it
:26:15. > :26:19.will be frost free for the vast majority, one or two fog patches,
:26:20. > :26:26.hill fog, quiet start to Saturday morning. Early reign in Northern
:26:27. > :26:33.Ireland clearing, behind it brightening up, there will be blast
:26:34. > :26:37.the showers. A band of rain moving its way through Northern England and
:26:38. > :26:42.North Wales, to the size of that we start with plenty of cloud,
:26:43. > :26:47.brightens up a bit more especially into south-east England. What about
:26:48. > :26:51.these temperatures for mid-February? Going out on Saturday evening light
:26:52. > :26:54.rain moving south through parts of England and Wales, still blustery
:26:55. > :27:00.showers across north-west Scotland and looking ahead to the second part
:27:01. > :27:05.of the weekend, breezy across the board, variable cloud, the odd spot
:27:06. > :27:09.of rain around. Later moving into part of Northern Ireland and western
:27:10. > :27:13.Scotland. So we have established the mild weekend and in fact going into
:27:14. > :27:20.the start of next week it will be even milder. It's just possible on
:27:21. > :27:27.Monday that somewhere might get as high as 17 Celsius. But before you
:27:28. > :27:36.get too carried away we are not expecting clear blue skies, lots of
:27:37. > :27:40.cloud coming and might see a bit of sunshine and maybe realise the 1617.
:27:41. > :27:45.Many of us will fall short of that but it will still be very mild for
:27:46. > :27:48.the time of year although later next week it will turn colder again but
:27:49. > :27:54.still nowhere near as cold as it was last weekend. The forecast wherever
:27:55. > :27:58.you are or where you are going is on a website and you can see in more
