To the Bbc News At Six. Tunnel vision on the one side, mind boggling hypocrisy on the other. The Prime Minister and the snp traded accusations, as theresa may addressed the conservative Party Conference in glasgow. She claimed the snp are pursuing independence at any cost and called on the Party Faithful to campaign for a united britain post brexit. The snp claimed she was making a power grab. Sarah smith was watching. No cuts here welcome to glasgow. A rather lonely little protest came out to greet the Prime Minister, who has come here to try and resist another referendum on Scottish Independence. Theresa may has heard the warnings that the snp really might try to call another vote. She said they should focus on governing scotland. Politics is not a game and government is not a platform from which to pursue constitutional obsessions. A Tunnel Vision nationalism, which focuses only on independence at any cost, sells scotland short. Butjust in case, shes already rehearsing the arguments against Scottish Independence and for the union. We are four nations, but at heart we are one people. Let us live up to that high ideal, and let us never stop making loudly and clearly the positive optimistic and passionate case for our Precious Union of nations and of people. Thank you. A key message there from theresa may to nicola sturgeon, stop all this talk about independence. The people of scotland dont want another referendum, the Prime Minister says. Its certainly the very last thing she wants. No one here wants to fight a referendum whilst also negotiating brexit. Scottish tories are on the up. Once written off, they are now the snps biggest challengers. They insist they want to stop another referendum because it would be divisive, not because they might lose. If there is to be another referendum on Scottish Independence, do you think you would win . I think there is every chance that the no campaign, the unionist campaign, the pro uk campaign could win by even more because the economic case for independence has utterly collapsed and also, the snp forcing this onto a public in scotland that dont want it would see them have an immediate hit and make it a far harder mountain for them to climb. Outside the conference, some people preparing for the fight. Senior snp figures say it is the Prime Ministers refusal to consider a separate, bespoke brexit deal for scotland that may lead to another referendum. I think if the uk government does not reach a Compromise Agreement with the Scottish Government to protect our place in europe, there will be a referendum on scotlands independence because we have to protect our place in europe. Either the Prime Ministers rhetoric mean something and she respects the people of scotland and respects the Scottish Government, or she doesnt. Times running out for the Prime Minister. It is the Scottish Conservative Party who will have to lead the fight for the union if there is to be another referendum. They may soon have a battle on their hands. You heard Angus Robertson saying time is running out. What does he mean . The snp say that if the uk government want to avoid another referendum on Scottish Independence, they must agree to a separate brexit dealfor they must agree to a separate brexit deal for scotland, they must agree to a separate brexit dealfor scotland, which they must agree to a separate brexit deal for scotland, which would allow scotla nd deal for scotland, which would allow scotland to stay in the eu single market. They say they want a commitment on that before article 50 is triggered later this month. The pilot of the plane which caused the Shoreham Airshow disaster, in which 11 people died, was flying too low and was too slow. Those are the findings of the final report into the crash in 2015 by Air Accident Investigators. The pilot, who survived, says he remembers nothing about the crash, but investigators say he could have aborted his final manoeuvre to prevent the accident, as Richard Westcott reports. Its still shocking. A vintage jet crashing Out Of The Blue a packed road, killing 11 people. Todays report explains what happened. As pilot andy hill begins his loop, hes more than 300 feet too low and nearly 50 mph too slow. At the top of the manoeuvre, the engine should be at full power but its not. Hes still too low and slow but doesnt seem to realise. And four seconds later, by around this point here, he could, potentially still have saved the plane. He didnt. Andy hill says he cant remember anything about the accident, so we may never know why. The investigators found that he was used to flying a much smaller plane and may have got confused. The pilot was also qualified to fly other aircraft at displays, including another vintage jet aircraft called the jet provost. We found that the jet provost, at the top of such a manoeuvre would achieve the speed and height very similar to that achieved in the accident flight. Its certainly a possibility that he had misremembered the figures from the other aircraft type. The report says a lack of Safety Planning was the reason this accident was so deadly. No one was clear who was in charge of safety, was it the organisers, or was it the regulator . Plenty was done to protect people inside the airshow, but almost no thought went into protecting people who happened to be driving by. I remember seeing it hit the ground and at that moment ijust instinctively turned away and covered my face. Thomas was standing on this spot when the hunter crashed just feet away, the fireball burning his hands and legs. Slightly angry that not enough thought was put into the planning, into the risk assessment, the report showing there was a lax culture around the preparation of these displays. The feeling was that it was saved last year, if you put it on again it will be the same. Among the 11 who died was mark reeves, a 53 year old plane enthusiast whose family gave their reaction. The early days of this crash were getting over, trying to move on with, you know, get back to normality, with the funeral but as time has gone on it has turned to the investigation, why this has happened. Its turned to how it could happen and i dont see a near end in sight. The family now know why this plane crashed but with the pilot still being investigated for manslaughter and the inquests to come, it may be months before they know if anyone will be held to account. Iam standing i am standing on the bridge where thousands came from All Over The World to lay flowers after the accident. In the background, the lights of the airfield. The safety tea m lights of the airfield. The safety team has done itsjob. All eyes move on to the Police Investigation and inquests. They have already changed the rules for air shows, tightening up the rules for air shows, tightening up Risk Assessments and training for pilots. But what is not clear is if they are going to change what they do for the aircraft. These vintage aircraft will no longer be allowed to perform aerobatics if flying over land and people, only over the sea. The results from yesterdays election to the Northern Ireland assembly are starting to come in. The democratic unionists have seen a drop in their vote but are on course to be the largest party. 35 of 90 seats have been declared. The final results will not be known until tomorrow. Chris buckler is at a count in belfast. Fights between the dup and sinn fein over a botched energy scheme, the Irish Language and more, led to the colla pse Irish Language and more, led to the collapse of Power Sharing at storm on. But they have been returned as the two biggest parties in Northern Ireland. The votes are being counted but it is clear they may have made gains at the expense of the centre ground, the opposition parties. All of that raises questions about whether a Power Sharing government can be formed again. This report contains flash photography. Belfasts reputation has long been linked to divisive politics and if anything, the latest election has cemented that. People returned to the ballot box to make their choice. After the collapse of Northern Irelands Power Sharing government, thatis irelands Power Sharing government, that is anything but a laughing matter. For those who find themselves voting again just ten months after the last election. There is too much bickering and fighting. Instead of looking after the people and trying to do something for the people. There is too much in house fighting. Something for the people. There is too much inhouse fighting. They are trying to blame each other for what is happening in the country. Stalemate. The results of this vote look unlikely to make much difference to the stand off at storm on. If walking out of government was a gamble for sinn fein, it has paid off. They have increased their share off. They have increased their share of the vote, narrowing the gap between them and their Old Coalition partners, the dup. A personal success partners, the dup. A personal success for their new leader and potential deputy First Minister, michelle 0neill. Potential deputy First Minister, michelle oneill. The office of first and it is then needs to do more than anyone else elected. They need to step outside their comfort zone, be true to the principles of Power Sharing and work on the basis of equality. That will be seen as a message to arlene foster, the dup leader forced from the office of First Minister win sinn fein brought down Power Sharing. First minister win sinn fein brought down powersharing. The ordinary man and woman in Northern Ireland want and woman in Northern Ireland want an assembly up and running and working for them with my party and all parties playing their role. We have proved we are up for that and we call on other parties to be up for it and stop messing about with devolution and wrecking the hope and aspirations of the entire community. The dup and sinn fein have three weeks to do a deal, otherwise people face the prospect of the westminster government is taking over the running of Northern Ireland, at least for a period. To avoid that, irish nationalists and british unionists must come together again. What might matter is how much they value power. Officials in ireland say Human Remains of a significant number of babies and infant children have been discovered in Underground Chambers at the site of a former church run mother and baby home. Excavations were ordered at tuam in County Galway by a Commission Set up by the Irish Government last 0ctober, following allegations about the deaths of nearly 800 infants at the home between 1925 and 1961. The red cross says chemical weapons appear to have been used in the iraqi city of mosul, which Government Forces are trying to liberate from so called Islamic State. 12 people have been hospitalised but exactly what chemical has been used is still unknown. Wyre davies has been to the hospital in the city of irbil and sent this report. It is what local civilians, the Iraqi Government and International Aid agencies had most feared, an 11 year old boy lying in a Hospital Ward with serious burns, blisters and breathing difficulties. Doctors are in no doubt that this is a deliberate attack with chemical weapons. We have the mainly it has affected the respiratory tract, so some people have breathing problems, like an asthma attack. The majority of patients have developed different sizes of blisters, especially in exposed areas. When the patients come, we have to take care that they are properly decontaminated with water and soap, the whole body. We destroy their clothes. They will get new clothes. If they need medication, mainly forthe respirator it, for the lungs, they get medication. Fighting between Government Forces and so called Islamic State has driven thousands from their homes to refugee camps. But with 700,000 civilians still trapped in western mosul, that Islamic State might now be using chemical weapons is a huge concern. Fighting is still heavy but Government Troops say they are easing Islamic States grip on mosul, its last major stronghold in iraq. With Islamic State threatening to kill those who leave the city, and relentless shelling from the government side, escape is not easy. This family was inside the western pa rt this family was inside the western part of the city this morning and as they escaped, there was fighting inside their house. Two members of the Security Forces that freed them we re the Security Forces that freed them were killed, and according to them, many more are being kept by so called Islamic State as human shields. Sammy mahmud and his family survived the warped logic of Islamic State and count themselves lucky to have escaped with nothing but their lives. Under ias, having a simple simm card for a phone, or a woman refusing to cover her face, could mean certain death. My kids have not been to school for three years, and we lived in constant fear of upsetting the islamists. Islamic state may be facing imminent defeat in mosul, but as the latest incident has demonstrated, no one is safe from an organisation that is showing its own people precious little humanity. Our top story this evening. Theresa may calls on scottish tories to fight for the union and warns the snp against Tunnel Vision nationalism. And ill be reporting from the North Yorkshire inn which has been crowned pub of the year by the Campaign For Real Ale for its beer, its open fires and its atmosphere. Coming up in sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news, englands cricketers have started strongly in antigua as they look to make a winning start in their one day series against the west indies. The number of workers on zero hours contracts has reached a record high over the course of last year close to a million people. For 2016, that meant nearly 14 more people than the year before were employed on the controversial contracts that dont guarantee a fixed period of work. But the new figures also reveal an indication that Big Companies may now be going off the idea of zero hours contracts, as our economics editor kamal ahmed reports. Nadine cooperfrom spalding in lincolnshire. She sorts and packs potatoes and is on a zero hours contract no guarantee about the amount of work she will do each week. It is flexible and it fits with her family life. Nadine is one of that large band of employees happy on a controversial contract. It is good for me because it gives me family quality time as well. When my wife is at work, i look after our little boy. When my wife is on herfour days off, i come in for two days and do two days of work. But then i also get two days as a family with my wife and my little boy. A very different story for sophie shaw, who worked for seven years on zero hours contracts in the restaurant business. It was a chaotic life. I was working in restaurants on zero hour contracts. I started off with one but i would get three hours one week, 60 hours the next week. You couldnt live like that, so i ended up taking on two other jobs in order to have some kind of security. And it still wasnt enough. It was a nightmare, it was crazy. I ended up having to move all the way from york to london in order to secure a full time job. The contracts have been attacked. Sports direct was criticised for Victorian Working Practices after it was revealed that thousands of its staff were on zero hours. That company has reformed and many other firms are seeing zero hours as a hindrance, not a help. The rate of growth in the number of contracts has slowed markedly. A Jd Wetherspoon pub in central london. But what happened at this company is really interesting. Tens of thousands of staff at this pub chain used to be on zero hours contracts, but the company decided to change and encouraged people onto guaranteed hours. Yes, the number of people on zero hours is at a record, but lots of businesses are coming away from them. No one wants to have their Employment Practices dragged through the media or even westminster, so i think weighing up the different options they have available to them is a really sensible approach. Its not great for employees. You know, we have seen the zero hours contracts workers tend to be paid less. If youre worried about putting food on the table and how many hours you will get, it is not the ideal recipe for a really motivated workforce. And that issue of low pay is worrying for this man, the chancellor, planning for his budget next week. Because low pay means less tax for the treasury, not good if youre trying to balance the books. Expect action when Philip Hammond unveils the contents of the Famous Red Briefcase next wednesday. The government says its likely to refer a proposed £12 billion merger between sky and 21st Century Fox to the media regulator 0fcom. Concerns have been raised over what would be one of the biggest ever Media Mergers in uk history about Broadcasting Standards and competition. 0ur Media Editor amol rajan is here. Rupert murdoch tried this before and failed, whats different this time . Rupert murdoch tried this in 2010, when news corporation, his company, placed a bid for bskyb and we had the Phone Hacking Scandal leading to the Phone Hacking Scandal leading to the closure of the the News Of The World and the Leveson Inquiry and he calculate it that it was too toxic. Since then he has split the company in two between the News Division and zist in two between the News Division and 21st Century Fox, the Entertainment Division, and the bid is coming from the Entertainment Division and he thinks that tactic will be enough to convince the mega later not to worry about this on competition grounds. Thank you forjoining us. The regulator to worry. Cumbria police has unreservedly accepted the criticism of an investigation into the death of 13 month old Poppi Worthington four years ago. The Police Complaints watchdog found it wasnt fit for purpose and that officers didnt look sufficiently into whether she had been abused despite her injuries. A family courtjudge ruled she had probably been sexually assaulted by her father, who denies any wrongdoing. Judith moritz reports. Poppi worthington only lived for 13 months.

All drivers applying for a Minicab License in london will have to pass a test to prove their english skills before they can get behind the wheel.
