1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Kay Oliver our UK Europe correspondent. The Tories are accusing

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: labor there of pinching, stealing their ideas k.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: A new move to get Britain working. The Work and

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: Pension Secretary in Liz Kendall has told MPs and the

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: Commons today that they intend to create a new jobs

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: and career service connecting to work scheme. But her counterpart,

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: Helen Weightley for the Tories said that basically they've just

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: turned what was their work well program into their own branding.

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: So she's saying she is very pleased that they are

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: making these moves forward, but they've had fourteen years to

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: come up with their own plans and she think it's

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: quite rich of them obviously to steal what they see

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: as their own unique ideas. Now this all comes ryan

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: as we were saying that a big focus here on

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: youth unemployment and eighteen to twenty five year olds have

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: been told they have to earn or learn or lose

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: their benefits. Now figures show the unemployment at the moment

18
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: for young people here stand at fourteen point eight percent,

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: which is up from twelve percent just last year. That

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: Liz Kendall obviously highlighting the changes that they're going to

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: make said that she will be piling more money into

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: what she sees as a scheme that will basically encourage

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: and help people to find jobs. She feels that what's

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: currently around dates back to the nineteen eighties or nineties,

25
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: and this is going to get people basically back into

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: where they should be. And there's also going to be

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: more money for youth mental health schemes. So it's a

28
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: big package that basically they're designing to try to get

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: people off benefits, get them back to work, and make

30
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: it easy to find jobs.

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Well, I suppose at least they have the decency to

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: change the name of the program before they stole it.

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, very.

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Quickly, Russia has expelled a British diplomat, accusing him of espionage.

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Do we know exactly what he's done?

36
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: Well, no, this is the State news agency has reported.

37
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: This is the country's FSB security service. They are saying

38
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: that the diplomat, whose photo has actually been shown on

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: TV bulletins, that he's provided false information on his documents

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: and carrying out espionage. Now, of course, the Foreign Office

41
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: here are saying this is not the first time that

42
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: Russia has made malicious and baseless accusations against our staff.

43
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: They intend to respond in due case in due course.

44
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: But interestingly, last week it emerged that the UK obviously

45
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: lifted those restrictions on Ukraine, using the British supplied storm

46
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: Shadow missiles on targets inside Russia for the first time.

47
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: So it's quite interesting that this has happened at this

48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: particular time.

49
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: Certainly, thank you very much for that update. That's Kay Oliver.
