From Central Government. We have been seen to government says 201314, we been seen to government says 2013 14, we could not sustain all services with the level of reduction infunding. Services with the level of reduction in funding. The council said rising demand for Adult Social Care services had driven much of its £10 million overspent on this years budget. Cuts under consideration are Library Services and bus services. What more evidence do we need. Austerity is unleashing chaos across oui austerity is unleashing chaos across our country. Squeezing our local authorities and putting jobs and the Vital Services they deliver, at risk. Experts say northamptonshires position is probably due to a number of factors, some particular to the county but it could indicate a wider problem. Ministers and Civil Servants will worry that northamptonshire is a leading indicator of something that could happen more generally. We have had eight years of cuts to council budgets, a far greater impact on them sign fancy the nhs and welfare budget. The question is how far you can welfare budget. The question is how faryou can go welfare budget. The question is how far you can go with that policy before it begins to produce results like this. The implications for communities and northamptonshire are due to be discussed at a Council Meeting later this month. Government inspectors have been invited to find out if the council have been conducting its finances properly. A prominent conservative mp has upped his criticism of Civil Servants. In orderfor the uk his criticism of Civil Servants. In order for the uk to his criticism of Civil Servants. In orderfor the uk to remain in the European UnionsCustoms Union. Jacob riis mood riis mood told us today that treasury impact forecasts were politically influenced. With the referendum and eu the treasury has gone back to making forecasts. It was politically advantageous for them for them in the past. It is the same for them iiow. The past. It is the same for them now. I think they are misleading the figures. To use a figure grzelak fiddling the figures, he thinks it is deliberate . Yes, he does. It is the second time in a week questioning the impartiality of Civil Servants, trying to undermine their warnings about the brexit. This is more thanjust their warnings about the brexit. This is more than just a their warnings about the brexit. This is more thanjust a row their warnings about the brexit. This is more than just a row about a backbench mp to challenging figures. He leads an important section of conservative mps on whom theresa mays future as mp may depend. That could block those opposed to any form of staying in a Customs Union with the eu after brexit. That subject will be discussed at key ministerial meetings this week. Theresa may has ruled out staying in the Customs Union but is open minded about another Customs Union. He could be seen to put pressure on theresa may ahead of a crucial week in which we may find out more about our future relations with the european union, but also if people do not like what they hear, theresa mays future as prime minister. The government has announced a package of Financial Support for Small Companies affected by the collapse of the Construction Company carillion. The British Business bank will allocate £100 million in loans. Customers worried about repaying mortgages will be offered help. Thousands of suppliers we re offered help. Thousands of suppliers were left without payment when they went into Administration Last month. The director of the fbi has defended its work after a classified memo was released accusing it of bias against president trump, and abuse of power. The memo written by republican members of Congress Says the fbi got permission to wiretap one of mr trumps advisers in 2016 by using unsubstantiated evidence which had been paid for by his political opponents. The memo is out. A controversial document of the Russian Investigation is released. They are the headlines that tell of a vicious fight at the heart of the United States government. For president from, his decision to release a memo of accusing the fb eye working against him isjustified. It is a disgrace what is happening in our country. Far of his opponents this isa country. Far of his opponents this is a president and republican parties who have engineered a political stunt. Under attack, the head of the fbi is to fight. Addressing his staff, Christopher Ray said. The memo written by republicans describes a politically biased Justice Department and fbi. Who were determined to ensure donald trump lost the election. They got a warrant and someone lost the election. They got a warrant and someone in the trunk campaign using opposition research, paid for by a Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton campaign. This was due to the alleged links with russia. It has put relations between the white house and fbi at her new law. With worries of a constitutional crisis. Dennis edwards, the former singer of the temptations has died at the age of 74. He temptations has died at the age of 7a. He sang on the groups memorable hits, including papa was a rolling stone. Papa was a rolling stone. And when he died. Was he left me was alone. Papa was a rolling stone. Dennis edwards and the temptations. It is tempting to predict the outcome of the six nations rugby. With that and the six nations rugby. With that and the rest of the sport is Mike Russell Mike bushell. How to pick a winner today. The wales and scotland teams will be arriving, into the tunnel at the principalility stadium around now, greeted by the welsh hymns, but that will be nothing compared to the noise when they kick off this this years six nations, in less than an hours time. The cauldron isjust beginning the cauldron is just beginning to bubble here. From the stadium wall, it says it is not a sport, it is what we live for. This is notjust 80 minutes, it is a lifetime. This gives you some sense of rugby and the match. The welsh team might need every decibel of encouragement, every decibel of encouragement, every ounce of emotion, it is a very experimental well side. Every ounce of emotion, it is a very experimentalwellside. So every ounce of emotion, it is a very experimental well side. So many players out injured. That will be a recurring theme throughout the course of the six nations. Scotland, optimism, having competed with new zealand of the art and beating australia. Their top court as a player who was famed for his unpredictability and they have attacking players, slayer in the bones and the best tactic for wales might be to keep the ball away from stuart hogg in particular. We will see how long that scottish encouragement and ink courage that lasts. Optimism. England played france. England are in italy on sunday. It may well come down to england versus ireland in the final weekend. Whoever ends up winning this match, they will be starting off the tournament and looking upwards. Thank you, joel. What annoys. That is before kick off. Live in cardiff. Both of those matches live on bbc one. Manchester city can go 18 ppoints clear at the top of the premier league, if they can win at burnley, and the champions in waiting, are indeed in front it took them just 21 minutes to find an opening, carved beautifully by danilo, the brazilian defender. Its approaching half time in the early game in the scottish premiership. Its goalless so far between kilmarnock and celtic, but the League Leaders suffered an early blow losing defender Dedryck Boyata to injury. A win will see Brendan Rodgers side go 1a points clear at the top of the table. Theres a spring in the step of the british david cup team, ahead of todays doubles rubber, in spain against spain. Jamie murray and Dominic Inglot, play with the tie at 1 1. It followed the heroics of debutant cameron norrie, who produced the performance of his life to beat, Roberto Bautista agut, whos 91 places higher in the world rankings. He only turned professional last june and this was his first ever professional match on red clay. Andy murray tweeted this was one of best results ever. Ijust looked at my forehand the whole match and thought i was tougher than the guy through the whole match. Physically had some problems in the end but i was really pumped with my efforts, its given me lots of confidence. My first match on clay so im just stoked. Jamie murray and Dominic Inglot play in the doubles rubber later today and its live on bbc two and the bbc sport website from 1 oclock this afternoon. That is all the sport now on a very exciting afternoon ahead. The next news on bbc one is at the later time of seven oclock. Goodbye until then. Hello again, you are watching the bbc one weve seen news channel. More now on the governments offer of a package of Financial Support for Small Companies hit by the collapse of the constructing and services firm, carillion the state backed sir vincegable; saidmlnistersdgadt its far too late. I mean, for goodness sake, i mean the government knew about the trouble of carillion months ago, which is why it was feeding it contracts. It should have been aware there was a supply chain. I setup the British Business bank several years ago in the coalition. In order to. This is what will be providing the guarantees . And the question is why on earth wasnt it mobilised much sooner. But i think there is a deeper problem here. I mean one of the fallouts from carillion is that large numbers of small and medium sized companies, which are very well run, are going go down. Its already happening, its a sort of crash in slow motion. One of the reasons is that carillion was not observing the government requirement that you pay your suppliers. A lot of these Small Companies were lending money to carillion, they were on a 120 day payment period. And that should never have been tolerated. Just on this question of taking up the offer. A least one company has told us privately that it wont do it and suspects other Companies Wont do it. Its going to take the risk but it says that others will be worried that if they are seen to take up these offers, their customers will then think, ortheirsuppliers will think, ah, maybe they are in trouble. And then that could actually damage them, almost to take the help thats on offer. Well, there is a confidence issue and the problem is that, you know, you have got a complex supply chain, much of which depends on credit worthiness, and i can see their problem. But the British Business bank was set up several years ago to provide credit to small business. It is already doing it. It happens indirectly through peer to peer lending and other platforms. So i would hope that, actually, Companies Take full advantage of it. Thats what its there for. Six people have been injured after a gunman opened fire in the central italian city of macerata. Local media reports that the shooter took aim from his car window, targeting a group of people who appeared to be migrants from africa. The gunman has been arrested. Many gps feel undervalued, unable to provide safe care and want to quit theirjobs, according to research with doctors who have left the profession early. Nhs england has promised an extra five thousand gps by the end of the decade, but recent statistics suggest the service is continuing to lose doctors. The government insists it has the highest ever number of gps in training. Northamptonshire county council has imposed emergency spending controls as it faces severe financial challenges. The notice bans all new expenditure at the council, with the exception of Statutory Services for protecting vulnerable people. Last month the government said an inspector would look into allegations of financial failings at the authority. It is believed to be the first such notice issued in more than 20 years. The labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn has been speaking at his partys local government conference in nottingham and he blamed tory austerity cuts for the situation in northamptonshire. This conservative government has sent our Public Services spiralling into crisis. After nearly eight years of conservative government, councils have lost 50 of their funding from Central Government. And yesterday, we found that tory run northampshire council is effectively bankrupt. What more evidence do we need . Austerity is unleashing chaos across oui country, squeezing our local authorities and putting jobs and a vital a little earlier tony travers at the London School of economics told me that the cut in Central Government the overall fall is spent in funding will be less than 50 . It is a big change. For that, many fine will be less than 50 . It is a big change. Forthat, many fine councils find themselves near the edge. The question is which councils will get to the edge first. Northamptonshire council have signed to have done that first. Is there anything particular about Northamptonshire Council and why they have found themselves at the start of the queue . They have a low council tax take. It was baked into the system by capping, they have been capped for years. It is hard to increase at night. Compared with neighbouring authorities, northamptonshire probably has a low tape from council tax. Against that, the neighbouring authorities, many not in different circumstances, are not in different circumstances, are not new the edge. The investigation that the housing secretary has put in place will reveal some of this, we will find out more. It is politically awkward for the council, government, it is a conservative romp council. They cannot have an argument with their own party. What do you think it is about the kind of stability of local government finances in england . We have seen councils now under these kind of pressures for eight years. I think the question is how much work and that goal. The government has protected the nhs, protected welfare and most of pensions and so on and so on. And most of pensions and so on and so on. That has put on extra pressure for Council Services and the government has had to step in, aduu the government has had to step in, adult care with funding. If the government continues to push local government continues to push local government funding down, we will get more of these Northamptonshire Council cases. It is easy forjeremy corbyn to pick it up and have political fun with that. 0ligarchs suspected of corruption will be forced to explain how they fund their luxury lifestyles in britain. The security minister, ben wallace, has told the times that he wants to crackdown on criminals and fraudulent politicians who use britain to launder money gained through corruption. Earlier i spoke to dal babu, a former chief superintendent at the metropolitan police. He explained some of the thinking behind the new unexplained wealth orders. I think what they want to do is establish where people have got their money, and if you have £50,000 or more, thats probably not going to affect the majority of us, then they want to have the opportunity to ask people were they got that money from. Actually it could apply a lot lower than oligarchs but that is really what looking at, people who are the International Super wealthy who often choose to live in this country. Absolutely. Ben wallaces interview in the times was very much about the oligarchs and the big headline was, we are coming after you. It would be interesting to see what substance there is nothing this because what we have to remember, there are lots of oligarchs, many of them own football clubs here, many of them are a legitimate Business People here, but there is a thread of individuals, if people have been watching the bbc mcmafia series, they will know there are afraid of individuals who are conducting affairs in a sort of unlawful way, and the difficulty is, i was speaking to the cab driver on the way in and he was saying you would be surprised how many people there are, they live a parallel life, huge excesses, huge extravagance. But in terms of what the minister says, what i would be interested in is what resources are put in place. These people are sophisticated individuals. They will have accountants in place. Lawyers. Lawyers, yes. Bitcoins. You trade in bitcoins, that crypto currency, all of this goes under the radar. I would be very much interested in what resources are in place to deal with this. You mention mcmafia, which a lot of people have seen on bbc one, and the interesting thing about that is that it is based on a factual account by the distinguished journalist misha glenny, and they have fictionalised the stories he uncovered. There is clearly something here. The question is, i suppose, whether this is really about cracking down on the money, following the money, as they say, whether there is some politics in this. Clearly there are more tensions now with russia and there have been for many years with britain, and you could argue that people have lived h
