21/08/2012 Newsnight

Tonight the darkness that leads There's nothing new in the idea of

Baby Blues, but one in five may suffer from postpartum psychosis

with catastrophic consequences for some. I started getting unpleasant

the stairs. I was just so my boy. In Newsnight exclusive,

we'll see how the problems can be three days. We'll ask what more can

thought British men had peculiar pregnancy. If it is legitimate rape,

they can shut that down. We'll see how the views can be used

by the Democrats. Rape is rape. borrowing going up, big economic

minds have advice for the Prime you lose touch with reality,

case it is can lead to a mother recognise the symptoms, but women

who have suffered from it, are trying to change this. Newsnight

have been given access to the lives shortly after coming birth. The

I was just so frightened, I didn't want to hurt my boy. I knew

somebody had to help me. Women are more at risk of severe

mental illness after giving birth than any time in their lives. One

day I thought about doing it, about smothering the boys while they had

their lunch time sleep. This woman did kill her baby and then herself.

What I saw that night, my beautiful wife and daughter, even now, I

can't come prehend that. We've been extraordinary access to the lives

of three women, who all became ill, Shelley Blanchard's baby is due in

the next few weeks, and she's come into her final checkup. But it is

not the baby that medical staff are It is her. One in ten new mothers

suffer from post-natal depression, but shelly is at risk something

Postpartum psychosis. Mental health problems of varying degrees will

affect one in four of us at some pointed in our lives. But women

given birth are susceptible to the most serious illness. I'm scared,

emotional now. I'm scared I'm going to harm the baby, or, I've read

some things that ,, sorry, I've read some things that women think

the baby is talking to them and telling them to do things and that

the baby will get taken away from me, that's my biggest fear. It is

not known what causes postpartum psychosis, but the massive more

mopbl changes that follow child birth are thought to play a

significant role. How are you well, since the last time I saw you?

Mood-wise, I'm agitated, sleep pattern is terrible. One in 500

women who have given birth will suffer from postpartum psychosis.

And it can strike out of the blue. The majority of women who have a

post postpartum psychosis or very, very severe depression illness,

will have no risk factors, they have no family history or past

illness, there is a proportion of women who you can predict. Shelley

Blanchard has buy polar disorder and means she's a one in two chance

of becoming severely ill after having her baby. Everyone looking

after her, knows they need to be alert. Dr Nick Best is a

psychiatrist. Who specialises in caring for pregnant women and new

mothers with mental health problems. OK, a long time no see, since I saw

you. He will be seeing Shelley Blanchard regularly over the few

months and she gets home visits from the community psychiatric

nurse. When the mood change happens, if it is, it can be rapid, so

that's where the eyes and ears of the midwife and health visitor is

helpful. If we got a call from anybody who expressed concern, we'd

come out immediately. Cool. It is the speed with which

the condition develops, together with the severity which makes it

dangerous. A person can move from being relatively ameanable and

understanding of a situation, to floridly unwell, psychotic,

delusional and paranoid, in the Daksha Emson knows how serious,

postpartum psychosis can be. I know about 5.30 or so, and, as I got to

the front door, I smelt a burning smell, normally I'd call out, honey

I'm home and she replied that she's here, and "oh Dave, ""and I'd hear

the baby babbleling away. It was Wait until you have another one. Oh.

When Dave's daughter, fraya was three months old his wife stabbed

her and then set both herself and baby on fire in their bedroom.

Daksha Emson died from her burns three weeks later. She'd left a

note. "Dave I'm absolutely convinced now of bad forces being

at work here. Our baby has to be protected from these forces... And

I'm going to protect her. I love her, she means everything to me.

And I'll do whatever I can to protect her from evil" It is only

now, 12 years since Daksha Emson's death that Dave can sort ourt her

text books, she studied psychiatry, and she was about to be a

consultant when she died. But few people knew about her condition.

She was afraid of the stigma. The inquiry into her death led to new

guidelines in the NHS, for the treatment of staff with mental

illness. Dave's writing a book about her story to help other

people in similar situations. Primarily, it is to speak to me,

speak to brothers and sisters, people that are suffering, fellow

mental health workers, people that are suffering with mental health

conditions, that you are not alone Shelley Blanchard is about to give

birth. Shelley's husband is in the Army, but he is able to come home

for a few weeks, and he is worried about what will happen to her after

the birth. It is not Baby Blues, is it, it is quite sieve, worst case

scenario, I could end up without a wife and child. So yeah, it is

worrying, but the fact that we're already, the knowledge that we have

enables us to understand or look for any signs of it. And with her

network of medical carers, it is unbelieveable the amount of people

she's got caring for her. Shelley's labour has gone on for two days,

Hello little man. Her teenager son That very first evening she starts

her anti-psychotic drugs. How are you coping emotionally? Doing

really well. I'm happy to have olive. He's just so gorgeous.

Oliver is a week old, Shelley is relaxed and happy with the support

she's getting. But Lee is going back to Northern Ireland soon.

boy. Hello, Best it is Shelley Blanchard here, I'm aware you're on

leave, but I wondered if you could give me a call because I'm feeling

unwell at the moment, thank you. Shelley's mood has begun to drop.

She's stopped taking the drugs because they make her drowsy, she

knows she needs help. That would be enough to get rid of an elephant.

It is scary. Especially feeling the way I'm feeling A few weeks later,

she's admitted to a special unit in Winchester, where mothers and their

babies can be kept safe during treatment. I started getting

unpleas isn't thoughts about Oliver. About wanting to hurt him. Dropping

him on purpose, and throwing him down the stairs. I was just so

frightened, I didn't want to hurt my boy. And I knew somebody had to

help me. But the thoughts were getting stronger and more frequent.

So, I had to tell somebody. I had to get some help. OK I have your

methods here. Will I put them in your hand.

Sometimes I feel lost being in here. I feel lonely sometimes. But Lee

comes in to see me every day, that's nice. It is nice to have a

visitor. Because it breaks up the day a little bit. Otherwise they

could be long and drawn out With postpartum psychosis still poorly

understood, and frequently misdiagnosed, psychiatristness

mental health workers are here to listen to to a woman who has been

through it herself. I became psychotic a few days leaving

hospital, when late one night, having just fed Finlay, who was

still very much in the cast iron grip of feeding routine, I faced

his sleeping body down on the bed and my brain snapped. It felt like

somebody had flicked a switch in my head. I looked at him and was

filled with an urge to kill him. I put my hand around his tiny neck,

not strong enough to hold his own head and began to squeeze. I wasn't

trying to harm him, I knew I musdont that, but I want to know

whether I was capable, and whether it is true or not, I convinced

myself I was. Jo, head of maths, became ill after her senged son was

born. She'd never suffered mental health problems before and I was

terrified her children would be taken away.

She decided her only way out was to commit suicide, and take Tom and

Finn with her. One day I thought about doing it about smothering the

boys while they had their lunch time sleep. I was met particular

lus in my thinking, I had to make sure the boys and dog were dead

before my own life, because I couldn't survive if they didn't.

is fully recovered now. But she's spent more than six months in a

secure psychiatric hospital while her husband cared for the boys. Jo

feels compelled to raise awareness of the condition, particularly with

health workers. Women are dying sixly because they had a baby,

which, shouldn't be happening. And, I feel, very strongly that because

I came so close to losing my life, that, I am in a position to be able

to talk about the extremes of the illness. And a lot of sufferers,

Oliver is now five months old and both he and Shelly are doing well.

If it wasn't able to go in the unit I think that I probably would have

ended up taking an overdose. Possibly killing myself. Because I

It is such a dark time. But out of that dark time I've managed to

learn a little bit more about missile and I think to come out of

it, and - myself and I think to come out of it and feel so happy,

I'm actually feeling really well now, I feel I could possibly say I

feel fantastic. Well I'm joipd by Jo Lyall who you saw in the report

and Dr Nisha Shah a consultant psychiatrist, who runs a service in

north London. Thanks very much for talking about this publicly.

What do you think mothers and health care professionals most need

to know about this? I think they need to know it exists. Because

there is so little awareness amongst mothers, well amongst the

general public and health professionals. And I think it was

very clear the lady who had bipolar, Shelley, they have a team looking

out for her. And that doesn't happen for other women. If they

haven't an existing mental health problem. Lots and lots of people

around me realised something was wrong and said, would say to me or

my husband, something is with Jo, my mum said it seems somebody else

in inside her body but none of us thought I was ill. Presumably you

were told by health care professionals, about physical

things that could go wrong about child birth but not mental side?

woman is more likely to have a mental health problem, than any

physical health problem. It is the biggest health problem that women

in the perinatal period are likely to suffer.

Dr Nisha Shah, the there remains a stigma with all mental health

problems, particularly with child birth and children, you're supposed

to be happy, and if you're not it is perhaps more of a stigma? That's

right, exactly what Jo is saying, to raise awareness is impeded by

people's fear what will happen when they present with a problem, that

is out of the range of what is considered to be normal. There's a

real anxiety, that we hear about things like baby P, we know about

what happens when children are mistreated and all mothers worry

about not treating their children properly and being separated by

them and that prevents people coming forward. What do you do with

health care professionals, saying you have to be aware of it and

sensitive to it and you're there to help, not to intervene, and protect

the child, but help the mother? think, perinatal health services,

that have slowly started growing, since, really the tragic death of

Dr Emson in 2000, bring it in their remit. That's what we do, making

sure maternity department, at the Whittington, we spend training

midwives and obstetricians, making sure everybody knows that mental

health problems are very common, that they are very, very treatable,

and that there are services, in some place, that exist to try and

help people deal with them. Did you feel the stig marks and

feel you should lied it? How did it creep up on you, how did you become

aware you had to start talking about it? Well, first I hid it for

months, because having a baby is supposed to be a joyful time. I

started to have delusions I was evil and not supposed to be a

mother, how do you tell anybody that, when you believe it so

completely that, well, I actually believefy told anybody, the boys

would be adopted and I would be put into prison, even though I did

nothing wrong. And I just had a moment of clarity, one day, and

realised I needed help. This was some months after I'd become ill.

What Dr Nisha Shah was saying, was it difficult to ask for help, not

because of the stigma, but because the boys might be taken away?

was, I had no idea how ill I was. I lost all sense of reality, I went

to the GP, and said I made plans to kill myself, the dog and myself, I

think I may be ill. That was Monday, by Friday, I was a patient on a

psychiatric unit, without my babies. But, it is treatable, that's the

whole point? It is, it is not always straightforward. Because

we're all individuals, and different treatments work better

with different women. And it didn't help I went months before I had any

treatment at all. That definitely complicated things a lot. But,

there are psychological interventions, medication, and I

was treated eventually with ECT, and that was what cured me, and

cured my psychosis. But, there will problems with each. Obviously ECT

is controversial and there are problems associated with it, but

when it works it is successful. Medication, has all sorts of side

effects. You could see from the film, that one of them is

unprecedented weight gain. And in six months in hospital, I put on

five stone. It is extraordinary. And psychological intervention

sometimes aren't enough, you need some sort of chemical intervention

as well. There's problems with each, but using a combination of them all,

it's possible to have a full recovery. We said earlier in the

report, that it is treatable, and it is also, sometimes, you can

predict it. But sometimes presumably you can't, and it creeps

up on people? Yes. Postpartum psychosis is a subtype really. It

is found it emxass many things and there's a blurring between Baby

Blues, which is not an illness it is something dirve. It is common?

50-60% first time mothers will experience that, but that's not

what we're concerned about, there's awareness and knowledge, to be able

to differentiate babey blues from post-natal depression, post-natal

depression from postpartum psychosis which is a different

illness, and therefore, does require a different set of

treatments. OK, but thank you very much and

we'll hear a lot about that. Now, if you want details of

organisations, which offer advice and support on postpartum psychosis

Now, if the coalition Government stands for one thing it is to

improve the economy. A central plank of that is to reduce

borrowing, as Opposition leader, David Cameron coin cyst tantly

argued you do not borrow your way out of a debt crisis. While one

month's borrowing figures are �600 million deficit for July may not

demonstrate that everything has gone hay wire, politically it is

bad news for the Government and in particular, George Osborne.

Newsnight heard rumblings that spending cuts had been considered

for the Autumn. We explore the Chancellor's options in a moment.

First, David Grossman with the extent of the problem. Very

carefully the Chancellor plotted a route out of deficit. Unfortunately,

the journey time has already had to be revised up once and now he is in

danger of having to do it again. The latest figures show the

Government borrowed �600 million last month. That is up 3.4 billion

on the same month last year, then there was a surplus of 4.2 billion.

Normally, in fact all but two of the 50 years, July has been a

banker of the month for the Treasury, and they can expect for

surplus because of income and corporate tax receipts. In July

this didn't happen. Corporate tax receipts so far has been going

slowly, relative to what the RBR is expecting in March. Today we see

the fecked of four large installments T reflects the

profitable of company, and the July receipts reflect the first payment

of profits on 2012, which suggests companies are less profitable this

year than was expected. Another factor was the closure of the he

will begin gas field, leading to lower than expected revenues from

the North Sea. Well they shoal that there are plane challenges for the

UK economy. They are difficult figures, but they show how

important it is to stick to the plan, to deal responsibly with

Britain's debts and not to add more to that. So, if you look at into

the figures what you see, driving them, I think, is a decrease in tax

receipt, mainly corporation tax, with an interesting factor in the

North Sea. As I say, what the figures really show is the

importance of sticking to the plan this Government has set out.

Treasury has a feeling of great solidity about it, but, when it

comes to the numbers upon which it bases Government policy, well, a

little more spongey. It is a noteable feature of this recession

that almost every set of Government projections, with time, begins to

look like the work of a wild-eyed optimist. For example, back in June,

2010, the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast for the

current year, we'd been borrowing �89 billion. That was revised in

March, 2011, to �101 billion and March 2012, the forecast had gone

up again, to �120 billion. And that could still be optimism, because

the first three months of this year, we're �10 billion behind where we

should be. Suggesting to some, that we could be looking at a total

deficit of a year, of �1670 billion. Or about 80% higher than the 2010

initial forecast. Well these are serious figures, and

they suggest that the central goal of George Osborne to reduce the

deficit, has not just not happened, but going the wrong way, he's

adding to the deficit, these borrowing figures are going higher,

and it is because he's driven us back in recession, and we have such

expensive costs of welfare benefits and keeping people on the dole

rather than seeing them in work and paying back into the xeck ker. It

is a failure of George Osborne's planning and he needs to change

course right now. So, what happens now? In Thais economic times, the

political rumour mill is in overdrive. A little while back it

was George Osborne's going to lose his job. Now, Newsnight hearse

rumblings that the Treasury has ordered new Government cuts, every

department to do their share for an emergency budget statement in the

Autumn. That may turn out to be nonsense, but what is true, is that

the politics of this get harder and harder for the Government. Some

Conservatives for example, point out that the Chancellor hasn't even

started down the road of cutting Increased.

There have been individual areas where there have been difficult and

painful cuts. But overall, there's been a big expansion of public

spending in cash terms and increase ever are I year in real terms. We

have to accept for a bit we can't have increaseness spending and we

have to try and keep it under better control and renew our attack

upon the costs of Government itself, because that would be the most

popular way of doing it. Government is deliberately pursuing policies

raising energy costs for example, it is watered down the proposals

forever planning liberal sedation, it is not moving rapidly as far as

Labour market is concerned, it imposed a lot of New Labour market

regulation upon employers, and yes it does need to take a closer look

at the policies and reverse them. So, how much longer will the jourpy

time wack to budget surplus be? And crucially is the Chancellor going

to have to step on the accelerator. David Grossman, well no-one from

the Treasury team was available to come on the programme tonight. We

did ask. We could have a couple of fine economic minds with us. Port

port port and - portsport ports, is worrying, 26% ahead of where we

thought we'd be. It is back in deficit in 2009. It could be a

blip? It is a big blip though. Actually a lot of damage being done.

All kinds of things are not working out as hoped. Basically the

Chancellor started off as Government betting on growth, and

no actual cuts to get rid of the deficit. The growth was never

likely to happen, hasn't happened, and so we just stacking up more and

more debt. The issue which nobody is very comfortable about is how

long can we stack that debt up. What do you make of the figures

think as the Treasury secretary said, they're volatile from month

to month. The underlying picture is this is what you would expect when

the economy is flat. We have had essentially no growth for the last

18 months. Where I would differ with John, is this that is at least,

in part a direct result of over rapid fiscal consolidation,

unnecessary cuts to the deficit too quickly, have actually in one of

the reasons why we have no growth, and that in turn, meant the deficit

hasn't come down as quickly as the Chancellor hoped. Let's look at

simplistic terms, the two possibilities is one is, is there

scope, because borrowing costs are low, to borrow more and have a big

stimulus, do you think that would work? That's clearly possible.

Remember, that. Advisable? Both, one thing we do know is when we

listen to what onsays, and what the Treasury Minister say, is that two

years ago, they said if we went on borrowing as we were, interest

rates would soar, the credit agencies would down grade us, we

would have to call in IMF, what happened? We're now borrowing, more,

than was forecast before the Chancellor introduced figurecal

consolidation programme. Not less but more. What happened? Well,

interest rates, compared to where they are two years, are

considerably lower than they were divo years ago. We can afford to

borrow more, and we should. I don't disagree with you. The reality is

we don't know, when foreign investors, in gilts will panic. We

don't know when interest rates go out of control. We've tested all

kinds of things in the economy, with masses of quantity Tateive

easing, very lose credit, nobody knows where that ends, accept it

must end in higher interest rates, and it must end in inflation. Maybe

years away, and you may be right in a year or two, you can get away

with spending and trying to stimulate the way out of it. If you

do that, remember what you're doing is immoral. You are living better

today at the expense of the people who follow us. So it may give rise

to less pain in the short-term. What it does is not good for the

next generation. I think, quite wrong actually. Borrowing now is

not borrowing from our children. We borrow from ourselves, debt is

finance now, you can't borrow from your unborn children. What we would

do now by borrowing is enable us to invest in things, and be good for

your children, getting jobs for young people, building roads and

bridges and schools. Great if the money is used for, but it is not

always used for such useful things. Absolutely you're borrowing from

your kids, you have no intention repaying the principle and interest,

they will. Onwhat is the alternative Basically, carrying on

as we are, isn't going to cut it. The mudling through, isn't going to

achieve what the Conservatives need to do by the next election, get

signs of growth in the economy, and they're going to either lurch in

one of two directions - either to go for more stimulus, that side of

the table. Or this side, the other way the Vicky Redwood approach,

which is to actually cut, expenditure, to actually take more

pain short-term, in return for getting a better economy, medium to

long-term. It is done places on earth, successfully, even on the UK,

on previous cycles. The state is too large, the state, the size it

is, means we have low growth baked in. If the Chancellor were to

decide to go down the route T would take a degree of political courage?

A lot of courage. He is according to an ITV poll tonight, 16%

effectively saying he is he's doing OK. It is difficult when you are in

the bigger political hole to take those strong economic decisions and

I know you are disagree. Maybe take the view, it can't get much worse,

he might as well take a go. Previous recessionss, I was working

for a Conservative Chancellor in the Treasury, in 1992, and Norman

Lamont took the right decision, he said we need to make savings and

cut spending, and raise taxes to get the Budget back to BA but we're

not going to do it now, until the economy starts recovering. The

fiscal tighting then didn't begin until 1994, until it was on an

upward trajectory. Basic economics of the same period, during the 90s,

we took 7% out of the size of the state and the state grew at 3% for

ten years, boy would that be an outcome now. Now the Republican

presidential candidate, Mitt Romney called on one of his own Senate

candidate to pull out of the race in a row over race. Todd Akin say

the women who are victims "legitimate rape" could not get

pregnant. What takes Congressman, Todd Akin away from challenged from

basic biology, is the Democratic party seized on the comments and

used them to attack Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan on attitude to abortion.

Congressman, Akin's latest ad campaign is called "forgiveness.

I'm Todd Akin and I afrof this message. Rape is an evil act, I use

the wrong words in the wrong way and I apologise. Todd Akin may be

contrite but he is not stepping down as candidate from mass youry,

despite pressure from fellow Republicans, so Democrats are

piling in. Views expressed were offensive, rape is rape, and the

idea that we should be persing and qualifying, and slicing what types

of rape we're talking about, doesn't make sense to the American

people. And certainly doesn't make sense to me. Since the 196 0s,

abortion has been one of the litmus test issues in America's culture

wars. Congressman, Akin is so- called pro-life. He was asked if he

opposes abortions, even in cases where the woman gets pregnant

through rape This is what he said. First of all, what I understand

from doctors, that's really rare, if it is a legitimate rape the

female body has ways to shut that whole thing down. President Obama

who holds a significant lead of Mitt Romney over women voters,

seized the opportunity to draw attention to the wider Republicans

positions on social issues. Romney's advice presidential

running mate, Paul Ryan is flatly against legal abortion. Even for

rape or incest. Accept where the woman's life is at stake.

Congressman Ryan worked with Todd Akin in Washington to narrow the

definition of rape, so the state would pay for fewer abortions. Mitt

Romney condemned Akin's comments and says, he does support legal

abortion for women who have been raped. I can't defend what he said.

I can't defend him. One reason support for Romney has been tepid

amongst Conservatives, is his pro- choice past. And he is seen by

critics as Governor Flip-Flop. believe abortion should be safe and

legal in this country, I have since the time that my mum took that

position when she ran in 1907s as a Senate candidate. I since since

this has been law for 20 years, I sustain and support t I sustain and

support that, of a right of a woman to make that choice. In 2012,

Romney says his thinking has evolved, and as a Pro-Life

President he would nominate Supreme Court justices who overturn Roe

versus Wade. If polls indicate majority of Americans support legal

aborgs, including the independent and moderate Republican voters, is

it really an issue that can help win or lose a presidential

election? Joining me now from Washington is, Craig Ferguson

director of Republican majority for choice, and Lila Rose founder of

life action. What do you think should happen to Todd Akin? I think

he should step down, that the number pro-choice and anti-choice

Republicans in are leadership and party have called for him to step

down, and I think it is time for him to take that lead. What do you

make of him, step down, and get out of it, because he is peopleersing?

Representative Akin apologiseds the comments that were clearly using

poor words, choice words were poor. What he was saying, and that's the

fact if it is conceived in rape, does not warrant the death penalty

of a abortion, and should not be killed because of the crimes of the

father, rape is a horrible thing, victims should be fought for and

protected but rapists should be held accountable of the law and not

the child. That's the position that Todd Akin was taking. It is

completely oppose today what his opponents, Claire McCaskill stands

for, which is funding of the biggest abortion chain and she

voted against a law that would stop, sexual predators were taking minors

across state lines which would hurt little girls of statutory rape.

some of that, would chime very much with what Paul Ryan has been saying,

the vice presidential hopeful for your party, no abortion, even if

the case of rape or incest, what do you think of that? We completely

oppose that position, the majority of Americans and Republicans oppose

that position, even the Romney/ Ryan ticket has come out to say, to

say there should be exceptions in the case of rape and incest. The

problem is he apologised for the words he used not the policy he is

pushing. It is a policy not supported by majority of

Republicans and Americans and it is akin to saying, that there's, we

need to punish the victim, the perpetrator of the crime and take

care of the baby, but the woman in the middle which has the crime upon

her is a vessel. It is a crime committed against a woman, it is a

violent and sexual crime, she needs medical resource available to her.

It should not be inputing our position and opinion in controlling

that position. I Can't agree more, but having investigated the biggest

abortion pyramid and cover up with little girls with secret abortions,

across the board.... I know that's an important issue in the United

States, but the important issue for the people in the world is what

impact if any this will have on the presidential race. I'm wondering

whether you feel, in Mitt Romney given his previous record, actually

he doesn't care very much about the issue but he has Paul Ryan on the

ticket, because people like you will be energiseed, so Mitt Romney

is Governor Flip-Flop? We need to get past the sound bites and look

at the issue, we are talking about the fundamental right to life,

which is the right to life for all people. If we can't protect that,

and don't have politicians protecting that, if our President

Obama is the most historic. think Mitt Romney is the man to

protect it? We need him to be President, because he will apoint

for life judges and stop funding the biggest abortion chain. Do you

think there are people within the Republican Party, who run for

office, but don't like to say they're pro-choice because it will

run them into problems. Frankly, some politicians, are lying on the

issue? Our party has created a system that makes it very difficult

for Republicans to get through a primary system who are pro-choice.

Our system is prochoice organisation is not the party

should be pro-choice entirely and promote a platform because that

doesn't represent the make-up of a party or party calling for a

constitutional ban on abortions with no exceptions. We should not

put this front and centre, as they did today, promoting this as one of

the top priorities of our country, and applauding we're pushing a

human life amendment with no exceptions. I wanted to know if it

put off people who are fiscal Conservatives for voting the

Republican Party because of the issue, does it put people off?

Tifplt detracts from a the strongest message we as rep

Republicans have which is the fiscal issue. We need to stand for

human rights, that's the life to right, Americans are listening,

young people are listening and women, we care about the right to

life and protecting women, protecting young girls who are

victims of rape and unborn children who deserve to be protected as well.

And deserve their fundamental right to life to be protected that's why

we're standing for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Planed parenthood denies

some alkpwaigss that was made Prince Harry on front of The

Telegraph. Do it now and do it now, tells Osborne chefs. FT has the big

business story about glon core bot wot and finally the Daily Mail has

tonight. Kirsty has much more Hello. I've got showers in the

forecast again for tomorrow but probably not as heavy or wrieed

part could stay largely cry. Heavy showers for England and Northern
