Six O'Clock News

Available for over a year

The government has offered another concession to potential rebels, ahead of a vote on its benefits changes. The timing of eligibility changes to the Personal Independence Payment will now wait until a review is published next year. Also: 20,000 people have crossed the Channel in the first six months of the year. And a happy ending for the Disney cruise ship passenger who rescued his daughter from the waves.
