2:00 pm
hello. in 2000 jobs to go at bae systems. 750 posts will go in lancaster —— lancashire. parts of california's wine region is destroyed. ten people —— at least ten people have died. it's pretty awful. coming up an afternoon live, some sport. where was missing out on russia. we are also going to look if that means the end of the manager chris coleman. in the weather, what a grey day. we all drew back the
2:01 pm
curtains, the sunshine has arrived. i will tell you that you are in half an hour. thank you. the new technique that will tell you that... hello. this time yesterday it feared that thousands of jobs hello. this time yesterday it feared that thousands ofjobs would go, it's much worse, its 2000 jobs. many of them in lancashire whether typhoon is produced. they heard rumours thatjobs were at risk. they had heard rumoursjobs were at risk but the numbers
2:02 pm
announced this morning were higher than expected. many were told not to speak about their jobs, but of course, there is concern. we have only found out today. we were kind of expecting it. the news knew before we did. just one of them things. it is what it is. you are always disappointed when jobs go. they are good jobs and they create value in the local economy and there may well be an impact on the supply chain as well. it is always disappointing but i do not think it is a great surprise. plenty of signals in the business planning processes indicating see you tomorrow. the cafe across the road would be the first place to feel the impact. massive, massive. need to get theresa may down here to sort it out. is she coming down? it is notjust the north—west. more than 300 maritime jobs will be lost in portsmouth, another 400 aircraft workers will get redundancy in east yorkshire. with all the cuts across bae systems business, nearly 2000 jobs will go in the next few years.
2:03 pm
bae is a major employer and it will have an impact in places like this. local companies in the supply chain could also be hit. but there are bigger questions about the future for sites like this and the uk's ability to produce defence equipment. i think this is damaging for the uk's industrial capability. exports are key to the future of the uk with brexit. aerospace is the number one export. what we are doing is diminishing that capability in a time when i would like to see it continue and at a time when typhoon is still in contention. another typhoon took to the skies this morning, but it is the falling demand that has slowed production here and prompted this wider review of how bae operates. asa
2:04 pm
as a result of internal restructuring so it can continue to be one of our effective companies across the world. this is not related to any other uk defence decisions. the honourable members can shout or they like, it was very striking, and i hope we can not get politics into this. you had a little chuckle as you and she said that. all of these sites will be devastated of these needs. we will fight every single redundancy. the
2:05 pm
government outsourcing the responsible fee of this. is this the problem... is this the other typhoon is under pressure? there are other pressures around. there are markets that the government needs to be seeking out for us. just as the united states does. i am to open about... united states spending nearly 25%,... our about... united states spending nearly 25%,... 0urshipbuilding industry is being devastated, being built in korea rollin here. there is a world class aircraft being built
2:06 pm
at warton. the government says bae systems and the government is that stands ready to support them. we have been here before,. the government to step in and take its responsibility right. what does that mean? the government should commit toa number of mean? the government should commit to a number of things. , the government should commit to the building 12 new hawks. the government should commit to the typhoon of the markets. saudi
2:07 pm
arabia? i am talking about saudi arabia. by ensuring that those aircraft are produce right now... about the bombarded the buckle. —— and that the bombardier the buckle. we don't produce helicopters, we import some from the
2:08 pm
united states. we have lost our capacity to defend ourselves as a nation. everybody is concerned about brexit and how that is going to go. what is that six say about them the success what is that six say about them the success of brexit? it is going to be incredibly difficult. we have parts in this process that cross the channel at least nine times. a smooth transition of those components is going to have a devastating impact on if we are competitive. thank you. the chancellor philip hammond... form the basis of budget decisions. the chancellor philip hammond is likely to have less money to play
2:09 pm
f—zé’iéiéf 37:15? , .,,.. h , . n the office for budget responsibility, whose economic predictions form the basis of budget decisions, says the first half of 2017 has seen productivity fall "significantly" and it will also lower its predictions for the next five years. don't forget — you can let us know what you think — tweet us using the hashtag afternoonlive.all the ways to contact us on screen right now. if you have got any questions, tweet me and we will let you know. theresa may has challenged public bodies to "explain or change" sweeping inequalities between different ethnic groups in areas such as education, housing and criminal justice. the government's racial equality audit, published this morning, makes for stark reading. is almost double that of white british adults. 32% of white british pupils
2:10 pm
on free school meals reached expected standard. but only a third of white british pupils on free school meals reached the expected standard at the end of primary school — worse than any other ethnic group. over 80% felt they "belonged to britain". it also showed that the overwhelming majority of people of all ethnicities felt that they "belonged to britain". in a society where it seems racial barriers are not what they used to be, today's new report paints a different picture. as expected, much of the data shows disadvantage for black and ethnic minority communities. i want to see more action... this youth worker has been stopped by police more than 100 times. a0 years, nothing seems to have moved on. nothing seems to have moved on. the system is designed to push disparity
2:11 pm
because it is based on race discrimination. some of the key findings in the government's race disparity audit found fewer black and bangladeshi people who own their own homes compared to white, indian and pakistani groups. black caribbean pupils were permanently excluded at three times the rate of white british pupils. and that ethnic minorities underrepresented at senior levels across the public sector. this woman has been a science teacher for ten years and she says many ethnic minorities still face ongoing discrimination. the majority of people from bme communities are also affected by poverty and working—class white boys in my school, they are disproportionately affected as well. and sexism, and as a teacher, we're not given the tools to challenge or to face these massive problems in our society. the government has announced a number of measures. in hotspots such as coventry, bradford and east london,
2:12 pm
to help people from ethnic minorities getjobs, as well as traineeships for 16—24—year—olds. it is shining a light, looking at all public services, the outcome by ethnicity, and seeing what more can be done to tackle the injustices. but labour has accused the government of not taking enough action. the question is, what will they do? how will we change this record that has been playing for generations? the report is the first time differences between ethnic groups have been looked at on the widespread scale. the new website is full of thousands of statistics giving a comprehensive view of how people from different backgrounds are treated in our public services. the audit was ordered by theresa may shortly after taking office last year. described by the prime minister
2:13 pm
as holding up a mirror to our society, many agree racial injustice is still an issue. if you do not have the right people around the table with the lived experience in order to influence, you will get more of the same. today's data is now available online. the government says they will implement some of the recommendations from the lammy report into the treatment of young offenders from black and ethnic minorities. let's speak to the reports author — the labour mp, david lammy in westminster. this hasn't come to a surprise for you at all? know. i think the first time we have got them in one place. i think it is healthy to get regional variation and to get a
2:14 pm
different picture across the country but there isn't anything new here. we know the issues that remain in oui’ we know the issues that remain in our schools and our country. real concern about exclusion, particularly for black boys. it has been a stagnant labour market for some time. none of these issues are new. the real issue is action. change the record which of them playing all my life. what happens to the report? i was pleased that the government was pleased with the recommendation. in the relation to the cruel justice recommendation. in the relation to the crueljustice system as a whole.
2:15 pm
the background... i made five recommendations. i talked about... i talked about our youth justice system so i hope i will hear more how the government responds to my view before the end of the year. how the government responds to my view before the end of the yeahm this a financially driven or not? my own view is that different government stomach after a significant period of austerity, things are tougher and black and ethnic minorities. what lies behind
2:16 pm
these figures are profound. here in london in the south east, lots of middle—class people haven't experienced the same. but for significant part of the country ethnic minorities and working class, these are serious issues. what you say to those that we are always going on about racism? that it is endemic in this country and that there does not seem to be any way out. we are getting an idea of the scale, and i have no idea. how do we get out of this? there are some positives. black and ethnic minority
2:17 pm
children going to universities that we have never seen before. that women doing better than before. it is not all doom and gloom. chinese young people succeeding in schools. there is some progress in this country, of course. the truth is that you can't wrest back on your laurels. you can't leave class and ethnic minority of the agenda. these are urgent serious issues that costs the country a fortune. 13 billion in oui’ the country a fortune. 13 billion in ourcriminal the country a fortune. 13 billion in our criminaljustice system. despite that we are on the same issues, we
2:18 pm
have got to move forward in a constructive way. notjust have got to move forward in a constructive way. not just a conversation yet again what all the problems are but a determination to get over those problems. david thank you very much. theresa§ public bodies... at least ten people have been killed in a dozen wildfires across california. prince william and harry are looking to people in the health sector. wells missed out
2:19 pm
to qualify for the world cup. —— wales missed out to qualify for the world cup. barbarians are forming a winning side. theirfirst match world cup. barbarians are forming a winning side. their first match will be next month. i will be back with a full update in 15 minutes. more than a dozen wildfires raging across california have killed at least ten people — and forced an estimated 20,000 people from their homes. 0ur correspondent richard galpin has the latest. across parts of california huge wildfires have been out of control since the weekend. the flames came up, we came down here and you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face.
2:20 pm
the fire was coming up over the homes, probably 100—foot flames, spotted on both sides of the street. the flames have notjust been laying waste to the countryside. towns and cities have also been burning. this is santa rosa in northern california, ablaze. people in some areas here were already ordered to leave. all our pictures are gone, everything. everything's gone. we've got a fire pit. it's pretty awful. where homes and shops once stood, now there's little left in parts of santa rosa, napa and nevada city, in the heart of northern california's famous wine—growing region. i mean, this is like apocalyptic, it seems. this is so out of the norm. like, i'm from southern california, and everything is dry out there, and i'm used to fires, but i've never seen anything like this in an urban area. so far, it's estimated at least 1,500 buildings have been destroyed across the state.
2:21 pm
this satellite map shows the scale ofjust some of the fires in the north. the biggest covers an area of more than a0 square miles. every spark is going to ignite a fire. and so, regardless of what that may be, wind can impact and start fires, down power lines, vehicles pulling off into the dry grass, all of those things have the potential. and under these kind of conditions, the risk is just extreme of new starts.
