Economic storm not over, says PM

Economic storm not over, says PM

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has warned Britain of economic "bumps in the road" ahead but vowed "we will weather the storm together".

And in a pre-election swipe at his political rivals, he said "now is not the time to turn back", adding: "I will not let you down."

He also said the Budget would be held on 24 March and confirmed a pay freeze on senior public employees.

The Tories said the biggest risk to a recovery was Mr Brown staying in power.

Shadow Chancellor George Osborne said the prime minister had not delivered on his promise to "end boom and bust" and he had no new ideas to secure recovery, having previously announced a pay freeze on top public salaries.

The father of a British boy kidnapped in Pakistan has returned home, against the wishes of the country's police, the BBC has learned.

Sahil Saeed, five, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, was seized by an armed gang while staying with relatives last week.

Interior minister Rehman Malik told the BBC that police had wanted the boy's father Raja Saeed to stay as a witness.

Mr Malik has said someone " very close to the family" had taken Sahil. Mr Saeed has not been named as a suspect.

A source close to the family had told the BBC they were unaware he had left Pakistan.

The coroner at an inquest into the death of four British soldiers in a blast in Afghanistan has pointed to "inadequacies" in training.

In his summing-up, Wiltshire and Swindon coroner David Masters said there were issues with how soldiers were trained to deal with bombs.

Cpl Sarah Bryant and SAS reservists Cpl Sean Reeve, L/Cpl Richard Larkin and Pte Paul Stout died in 2008.

Cpl Bryant is the only British female soldier to have died in Afghanistan.

The four were killed in 2008 in a Snatch Land Rover, a light vehicle in which at least 37 UK soldiers have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Justice vote carried in assembly

Justice vote carried in assembly

Stormont

 

Members of the assembly have voted in support of a motion to devolve policing and justice powers to Northern Ireland.

As expected the Ulster Unionist Party did not support the move, however, the motion received the necessary cross-community consent to be passed.

Policing and justice powers will now be devolved on 12 April.

Disagreement on the timing of the devolution of the justice powers had threatened to collapse Northern Ireland's power-sharing administration.
