Accident & Emergency units are facing collapse unless ushlingent | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
changes are made. Doctors and managers say a shortage of staff and | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
ever-rising patient numbers have created a real crisis. Unless we do | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
something pretty serious over the next six months, the system is in | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
danger of falling over next winter. We will be asking what changes are | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
needed to ease the pressure on the A&E network. Also tonight: The ayes | :00:34. | :00:40. | |

warned that the Accident & Emergency system could collapse next winter | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
because of unsustainal demand and a shortage of staff. -- unsustainal. A | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
review of experts, based on data from more than half the A&E units in | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
the UK say the scale of the challenge was the biggest for a | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
decade. A&E is the front door of the NHS for | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
a growing number of patients. Not only for life and death emergencies, | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
or urgent health problems, but many patients seeking help with coughs | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
and colds, cuts and grazes. NHS managers say hospitals are now | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
so busy, they're barely coping and without help, the A&E system could | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
fail next winter. We could just end up getting very, very large queues | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
of patients waiting in ambulances outside hospitals, having to wait on | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
trolleys and in corridors. Hospitals will do all they can to ensure they | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
treat patients as quickly as possible with the right quality of | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
care, but if the system is overwhelmed, that is what ends up | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
happening. Dr Taj Hassan spends his working days constantly on the go, | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
making sure A&E is running smoothly, seeing one patient after another. | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
How are you doing? I don't feel very well. How can I help?Patients like | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Jaclyn Smith, who has travelled from hall tax to this A&E in Leeds. -- | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
travelled from Halifax. She has seen her GP and had tests done. They are | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
all saying there is nothing wrong but you know yourself. I have come | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
to the teaching hospital to get my answers. The intense pressure in A&E | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
is storing up problems. After seeing how tough it is, junior doctors | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
don't want to train to be emergency consultants. Emergency medicine as a | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
speciality is attractive to very junior doctors. When they see the | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
environment they are working in presently, that puts people off. A&E | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
departments have been you under steadily increasing pressure. In | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
England Government figures show the number of people turning up has | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
almost doubled from 20 years ago. The four-hour target has made it | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
more convenient. People know they will be seen quickly. Out of doors | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
GP services changed almost ten years ago and the quality has varied. | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
Recently the new 111 number in England has sent more people to | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
hospitals, all adding to the pressure. | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
That's prompted a review of emergency care in England. The hale | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
secretary says most A&E departments are coping well with the demand. -- | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Health Secretary. Of course there are times when there is more | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
pressure. That's why we have announced big changes this week, | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
allowing hospitals to be involved in how we spend money to keep people | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
out of A&E and to keep them use alternatives. It is a very big | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
change. And, a big challenge, to convince patients it seek help | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
elsewhere. But -- to seek help. But NHS England and ministers know it is | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
crucial to reducing the strain on Accident & Emergency. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Branwen is with me now. When we talk about a crisis this coming winter, a | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
window of six months to make urgent changes. What kind of changes are | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
they talking about? The real quhal inis this is a problem -- challenge | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
is this is a problem that has built up over a decade so any changes over | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
six months will have a limited impact. One thing is to make 111 | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
work better. It has had teething problems. If that is working in a | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
better state, it'll really make a difference. But the longer-term | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
problem is giving patients confidence. If they try to get an | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
appointment with their GP, if they ring out and hours and they have | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
confidence, that will help. At the moment patients are voting with | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
their feet and going to A&E and that's one of the things that is | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
creating real pressure on the system. Thank you very much. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Now, more than 100 Conservative MPs have shown their dissatisfaction | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
with the Government's approach to the European Union, in a comobs' -- | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
European Union. In a Commons' vote tonight they backed an amendment. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Don't bang on about Europe. Don't obsess about it. Don't talk to | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
yourselves. So, David Cameron once told his MPs. But today in the | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Commons it was clear - many are simply ignoring his advice. They | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
argued about what wasn't in their own Queen's Speech - a law to | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
establish a referendum on Europe. The political establishment has | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
essentially closed ranks over the last 30 years and denied the | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
electorate a choice. We now have a golden opportunity to right this | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
wrong. Within the EU, the UK will continue to thrive as a major player | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
on the world stage. Our economy will be stronger but outside, I believe | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
the future will be bleak. After the debate, the vote. How many would | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
publicly express regret at the Referendum Bill that isn't there? | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
The ayes to the right, 130. That the reaction to the news that alock with | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
a few Labour MPs and a handful of others, well over 100 Tories had | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
made their dissatisfaction plain. Over half of Conservative | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
backbenchers voted for something which they knew, whatever he said in | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
public, David Cameron really didn't want them to vote for. They believe | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
that their pressure produced the promise of an in-out EU referendum, | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
their pressure produced, they believe, a draft bill this week. And | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
they intend to keep that pressure coming. So what is the next step for | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
the man behind tonight's vote? keep pushing for legislation. | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
Because, you know, we said right from the start that there is a deep | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
public mistrust about politicians making promises. They have heard too | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
many promises broken before about EU referenda. Today Tory MPs tried | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
turning the pressure on Nick Clegg when he stood in for David Cameron | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
at Prime Minister's Questions. This leaflet at him. Was that man an | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
imposter or a hypocrite? Government, he replied, had already | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
changed the law to promise a referendum if Europe wanted more | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
powers. We should have a referendum on Europe when the rules change. | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
he added. By the way, I think it is a question of when, not if. Every | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
day of the Prime Minister's trip to the United States has been | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
overshadowed by the in-out debate. Every day he has insisted that Tory | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
backbenchers could do as they liked. It is a free vote. It is a free | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
vote. As I have said I'm very relaxed about that. I don't think | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
people can read in, anything, really to the scale of that free vote. | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
is not quite so relaxed at one of his better-known MPs, Nadine | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Dorries, formerly of the celebrity youngle, says she wants to stand on | :08:52. | :09:02. | |
:09:02. | :09:29. | ||
forecast and lowered the inflation outlook for the first time since the | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
financial crisis struck five years ago. The news was qualified by a | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
rise in unemployment and figures from the eurozone that showed the | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
recession there is dopening. Here is our Economics Editor, Stephanie | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Flanders. -- is deepening. The Governor of the Bank of England has | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
had a lot of bad news to deal with in the past few years. But for once, | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
today, the news from his quarterly press conference was good. Today's | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
projections are for growth to be a little stronger and inflation a | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
little weaker than we expected three months ago. That's the first time | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
I've been able to say that since before the financial crisis. But he | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
said this was no time for complacency. And our recovery was | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
still at the mercy of events across the channel. Figures out today | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
showed the eurozone economy Shah rank overall in the first three | :10:16. | :10:26. | |
:10:26. | :10:30. | ||
months of the year -- Sri Lanka. -- There is a 15,000 rise in the | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
broadest measure of unemployment in the first three months of the year. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
Employment fell. But more up-to-date statistics were more encouraging | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
with the number claiming job seekers' allow allowance falling in | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
April to just under 1. 5 million. Even the bank's new forecasts don't | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
show the economy getting back to where it was before the crisis until | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
the end of next year, at which point inflation may still be over 2%. But | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
in his time at the bank, Sir Mervyn King has presented 82 of these | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
things. This was his last. So it was also a chance to look back. You | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
might have forgotten, but the bank's supposed to aim at inflation of 2%. | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
It managed that exactly, on average, in King's first five years as | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
governor but since then prices have risen at an average rate of 3.20% a | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
year. The Chancellor revamped the bank's inflation target recently to | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
give the next governor, Mark Carney, more room to support the recovery. | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
But that could also mean inflation stays higher for longer, at a time | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
when average earnings are growing at the slowest rate in more than a | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
decade. The economy is weak enough without the Central Bank trying to | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
bring inflation back to target. Most people would support that, other | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
than at the point where the fact that inflation is so far above | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
wages, has been one of the factors holding the economy back. Mervyn | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
King's team, Aston Villa, escaped relegation last night. Asked about | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
the new team at the Bank of England, he said he was optimistic. But for | :11:59. | :12:07. | |
the bank and the recovery, much will depend on events in Europe. | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
As Stephanie mentioned, the eurozone is now in its longest period of | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
recession since its creation. France has become the latest country to | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
suffer, slipping back into recession for the third time since 2008. Its | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
economy has contracted by 0.20% in the first three months of the year. | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
It is yet another setback for the embattled President, Francois | :12:29. | :12:38. | |
Hollande, who took office exactly a year ago. | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
365 days in power. Exactly a year ago, Francois Hollande became French | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
President. This is the trailer for a new film about his presidency, but | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
his poll ratings have fallen faster than any previous French leader. And | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
today, on the anniversary, France was declared back in recession. ! | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
People are leaving France. I don't think a good President lets people | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
leave. Every day we have to deal with it. Yes, it is a reality. | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
was out of the country today but vote remembers blaming him for | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
unemployment at nearly 11%. -- but voters are blaming him. And for | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
failing to deliver growth and jobs. On the campaign trail, he had come | :13:22. | :13:32. | |
to a steel plant where Furnesses are facing closure. He promises to do | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
everything to keep them open but they have been mothballed and | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
workers have accused him of a broken promise. Nothing happened. He made a | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
nice-sounding promise. We waited but he did nothing. He pulled the wool | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
over our eyes. The in country, consumer confidence has collapsed, | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
with the public reluctant to spend. An indication of the scale of the | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
problem here is the sharp decline in household spending. France has seen | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
the largest drop in almost 30 years. And even after the steep decline in | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
car sales last year, they're car sales last year, they're | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
car sales last year, they're expected to fall 8% this year. A | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
year ago, in torrential rain, Francois Hollande came to power, | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
promising to make growth, rather than austerity the priority in | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
Europe. He has won allies but real Europe. He has won allies but real | :14:20. | :14:30. | |
:14:30. | :14:32. | ||
Europe. He has won allies but real change has proved difficult. | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
majority of the French have not changed. It is the same with Mr | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
Holland. They blame it on the economy. We are in a recession for | :14:43. | :14:52. | |
the first time. Dash-macro the third time. Of course he does his best to | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
repair the damage of ten years of Conservative policies. More and more | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
French people understand France needs to become competitive. The | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
question is whether Francois Hollande can become a reforming | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
president or whether he is too weak and indecisive. | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
A series of car bombings has struck Shia districts in the Iraqi | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
capital, Baghdad. Police say at least 18 people were killed. Ten | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
people died and 14 were wounded when two car bombs exploded in the | :15:25. | :15:34. | |
ethnically mixed northern city of police has apologised for the delay | :15:34. | :15:44. | |
:15:44. | :16:00. | ||
in this dash-macro in securing subjected girls as young as 11 to | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
appalling abuse, approaching them on the Cowley Road and getting them | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
addicted to drugs and drink. We know that for years, police, social | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
workers and others miss opportunities to protect them. One | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
of the seven men convicted, Akhtar Dogar, was arrested twice on | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
suspicion of rape and sexual assault after complaints by two of the | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
girls. That was 2006. His brother, Anjum Dogar and another of the | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
defendants were also arrested on similar charges. Each time, the | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
victims felt unable to continue and the cases were dropped. The Crown | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
Court and service is also reviewing other cases that were not proceeded | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
with. -- the Crown Prosecution Service. It wasn't that we did not | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
try. I think what we were doing was responding case-by-case, and it | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
wasn't until the end of 2010, into 2011 that we started to join up the | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
dots and see the bigger picture. Where were the mist of that unity | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
is? All six of the victims in this case were known to social workers. | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
Five spent time in careful stop all of the girls ran away but one was | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
reported missing to the police 126 times in 15 months. One of the | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
victims told me social workers and police did little to help her mum | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
find out what was happening. It is scary to think that she was alone | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
doing that. People who are supposed to be helping would not help her. | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
She never gave up and that is why I am still here now. These days in | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
Oxford, police and social workers work together to try to prevent | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
street exploitation. Child protection campaigners say that | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
catastrophic failures in this case show why adults need to listen to | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
troubled teenagers. It is really important that parents, | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
professionals and frontline staff have a really good understanding of | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
how sexual exploitation and abuse can affect children and young | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
people, how it can affect their behaviour. We need to recognise that | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
these are children and young people in need, in need of care and in need | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
of protection. It is the job of the serious case review to examine why | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
the girls were failed for so many years. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
The coalition government says it is extremely concerned by the | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
possibility of price-fixing by major oil companies which would have put | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
up the price of petrol at the pump. Officials of firms including Shell | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
and BP were raided by officials from the European commission who say they | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
are worried that companies may have colluded in reporting distorted | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
prices for more than a decade. The next big step in mobile | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
computing, according to the internet giant Google, is a computer | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
integrated into a pale spectacle frames. The new Google glass product | :18:47. | :18:52. | |

asked to create apps to turn this into a product that consumers might | :19:33. | :19:41. | |
actually buy. We are going to find more ways to use it. Right now we | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
are in the phase of discovering what we can do. Just when smart phones | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
came out. Here is my first go. I am seeing a screen, quite a big screen, | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
it looks like a 20 inch plasma in the distance. You can see what I am | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
seeing on this camera. I control it by the voice. OK, glass, take a | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
picture. There is a picture of the cameraman, not very good picture but | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
never mind. Get directions to the golden gate bridge. It is going to | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
take a bit of time to find those directions, but I am getting them in | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
my eye and I will get spoken directions. Head north-west.Take a | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
picture. This product is a long way from | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
being in the hands of consumers and already concerns are being raised. | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
Someone to ban it from being used by drivers and casinos say it should | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
not be used there. There is one question in peoples minds, is this | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
cool or it creepy? I think it is creepy. Creepy cool technology. | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
you worried I am recording a video right now? It would be creepy if I | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
didn't know, yes. I wouldn't want to talk to you! Take a picture. You are | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
talking to your glasses, that is hilarious! This blogger told me he | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
had hardly taken the glass off since he got it a month ago. This is a | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
better way to live online. Doing things with the computer without | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
touching it. That really changes your relationship with technology. | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
In a really big way and we are just starting to get a taste of it. | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
Technology enthusiasts believe wearable computers will make our | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
lives better. Many privacy campaigners don't like what they | :21:34. | :21:44. | |

tonight with the great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
lead role. It is one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of the | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
summer. Arts editor has been talking to the start about the challenge of | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
playing one of the most famous characters of 20th century | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
literature. The timeless glamour of the original Sunset strip. France's | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
code is all, a sunset play Mac for the rich and famous. But -- back in | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
1924 a young fun loving camp -- couple moved to escape the | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
Hellenistic attractions of New York city. But F Scott Fitzgerald found | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
the contagion is just as irresistible. He continued his love | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
affair with booze. And he wrote a novel, The Great Gatsby. | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
Appropriate, then, that the latest movie version of his jazz age | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
classic should open this year's Cannes Film Festival. Gatsby is a | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
mysterious, aloof millionaire, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Who | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
acknowledges taking on such an iconic literary character is a risky | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
business. It is in a way, a recipe for disaster. For me, I looked at it | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
as an incredible character to take on, something that was subtle in its | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
approach but had so much power and depth and meaning in every single | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
line. It is like an amusement park. Shall we? Gatsby represents the | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
dubious values of the emerging nouveau riche of 1920s America. This | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
tasteless ostentation is designed to woo Daisy Buchanan, a married member | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
of the money elite. I don't think she has foresight, I think she lives | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
very much in the moment. When she is with Gatsby, I think she believes | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
they will be together. The film has been criticised for obscuring | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
Fitzgerald's elegant and sensitive prose with roller-coaster camera | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
suite and a dizzying cocktail of camera effects and bop music. | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
are going out to see it and buying the book. Fitzgerald had to suffer a | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
much crueller and more ill informed... People don't do their | :24:03. | :24:12. | |
homework all the time, ill informed criticisms. Excessive, extravagant, | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
showy, superficial, these portray the world that Fitzgerald -- | :24:20. | :24:30. | |
:24:30. | :24:31. | ||
describe the world that Fitzgerald living memory is, several parts of | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
the UK have had to enjoy more sleet and snow. Several inches fell on | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
high ground as a far south as Devon last night. Snow in May is rare but | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
not unheard of. Experts say that in 1979 it snowed across England and | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
Wales for four consecutive days. Chelsea have won the Europa league, | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
beating Benfica 2-1 in the final in Amsterdam. They left it to action | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
time to score the winner. -- extra time. Chelsea 's path through the | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
continent's lesser club come petition is not necessarily the one | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
champions of Europe would have wanted. Their fans needed little | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
reason to celebrate after another turbulent season. While the English | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
club bid to become the first side to hold the rope and champions league | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
crown is simultaneously, their opponents were desperate to end a 50 | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
year wait for any European title. Benfica were unlucky not to take the | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
lead. Chelsea's all-time record goalscorer Frank Lampard went close | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
to adding another. Interim manager Rafa Benitez will never be popular | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
with Chelsea's fans, but the sense is that he may have gained their | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
respects with another former Liverpool man broke the deadlock. | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
Fernando Torres, keeping his feet and his composure to put his side | :25:52. | :26:00. | |
one up. The lead did not last long. Benfica were handed a penalty. Oscar | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
Cardozo made no mistake. With extra time and penalties looming, | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
Branislav Ivanovic provided a happy ending to Chelsea's long campaign. | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
The defender's stunning injury time header, delivering yet another | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
trophy. Despite playing their part in the match, injured captain John | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
Terry insured he was kitted up to share in the glory. Chelsea, the cup | :26:26. | :26:30. |
