islands. One of British person was on board. We will bring you the | :00:29. | :00:29. | |

about the future we face unless there's urgent action | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
to tackle antibiotic resistance. We need to re-educate all 7 billion | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
of us all over the world that antibiotics are useful when used | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
with the right thing and in the right dosage, just as we were | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
putting the final touches to our paper there was a major study being | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
done in the US demonstrating that at least one in three of all | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
antibiotics prescribed are not necessary. | :01:04. | :01:04. | |
And overcrowding, drug abuse and violence - | :01:05. | :01:05. | |

In the last few minutes it has been reported that an eejit at passenger | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
plane flying from Paris to Cairo last night has crashed off the Greek | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
islands. Flight MS804 had 56 passengers | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
and ten crew on board, Most of the passengers | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
were Egyptian. There were also 15 | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
French people and one Briton. The Airbus 320 left Paris | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
at about 11PM yesterday evening It was scheduled to fly over | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
the Adriatic and across Greece, arriving in the Egyptian capital | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
soon after 3am. It went missing from the radar | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
at 2.45am local time, with the first reports coming out | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
about five hours ago. The plane was flying at 37,000 feet | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
when it disappeared ten miles The last contact with the pilot | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
was about ten minutes before Egypt's prime minister | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
says search and rescue The French have offered planes | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
and ships to help out. The Egyptian prime minister | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
was asked if terrorism could be involved - | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
he said no possibility These were the scenes at the | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
check-in desk at Charles de Gaulle airport as the news emerged this | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
morning. The eejit air flight took off from here hours earlier at | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
11:09pm yesterday evening -- eejit air. The airline said there were 56 | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
passengers including one child and two babies, including ten crew on | :03:31. | :03:43. | |
board MS804. The Airbus 820 was travelling from Paris to Cairo. It | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
disappeared from radar about ten miles after entering Egyptian | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
airspace of the Mediterranean Sea. The airline tweeted that flight | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
MS804 lost contact at quarter to three, about 20 minutes before it | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
was scheduled to land in the Egyptian capital. They said they had | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
contacted the authorities. Search teams have been sent to the last | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
recorded location, 30 to 40 miles north of aged's coast. According to | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
one unconfirmed report, the captain of a ship about 150 miles south of | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
the Greek island, reported seeing a flame in the sky. They have | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
pinpointed roughly where they have seen it go down -- where they | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
believe it has gone down, unfortunately the deepest part of | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
the Mediterranean. My belief is there are ships, radar and a plane | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
on the way to the crash site and so they are basically suggesting that | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
it has actually gone down into the Mediterranean. As time goes by, | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Cairo International Airport has become a focal point, where families | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
of the missing passengers have started to gather. They await news | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
of their loved ones. We can speak now to our Paris | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
correspondent Lucy Williamson who's The latest we are hearing is that | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
they think this plane may have come down near the Greek island of car | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
Paphos. What are you hearing? It has been quite confusing morning | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
with the Egyptian authorities appearing to say one thing and then | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
retracting and the Egyptian military denying they have had this distress | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
signal sent to them. Now it seems that the bits of information we are | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
getting are coalescing around the possibility that the plane has | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
crashed into the sea but it is of course very early days still. Behind | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
me the EgyptAir desk has just opened, I don't know if you can see | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
but it is mobbed here this morning, people here in France obviously | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
concerned for the French passengers on board the plane along with the 30 | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Egyptian and many other nationalities of course. But also | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
questions being raised here in front about what, if anything, might have | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
gone wrong here at Charles de Gaulle airport where the plane took off. Of | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
course we don't know yet whether the plane has crashed and what might | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
have caused it but you can imagine at a tense time like this in France | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
there are already questions being asked. What can you tell us about | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
who was on board? 56 -- 66 people, one Briton amongst those other | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
nationalities, mostly Egyptian, and some French as well as others, what | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
can you tell us about those security personnel on board? | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
We know that there were ten crew on board, and according to the reports | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
from Egypt air there were seven cabin crew, seven crew, if you like, | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
and three security officials. We are not clear yet exactly what role they | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
played but that is one of the things that people are keen to pin down, | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
what their role was and why they were on board, was it a regular | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
thing? EgyptAir have had problems in the past, are hijacking back in | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
March, another Egyptian airline was blown up over the Sinai last | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
October, so eejit has had a rather bad year when it comes to airline | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
security. Whether the security officials were a routine thing or | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
whether they're a were something special and as I say that is the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
question, one of many questions being asked here. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Our correspondent Sally Nabil is in Cairo. | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
What is the latest you are hearing their? | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
I am at Cairo International Airport where many family of the passengers | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
have been arriving over the last hour. They looked distressed and | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
heartbroken and they were reluctant to speak to the media, we rarely | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
managed to speak to one of them and they complained about the lack of | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
information and want the authorities to give them more information about | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
what has happened. They are still waiting for more updates from the | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
aviation authorities. Just a short while ago the Egyptian Prime | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Minister spoke to the media, when he was asked about the reasons behind | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
the sudden disappearances that it was very early to make presumptions. | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
He said they are investigating all possible scenarios and not excluding | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
any of them. He said it might be a terrorist attack, who knows? They | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
are still digging into the story and looking at all of the options. In | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
less than four minutes from now the Ministry of civil aviation will hold | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
a press conference -- hold a meeting with the families and we will have | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
to wait and see what is happening but they are dismissing reports | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
talking about the reasons behind the disappearance of the plane and said | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
that media should stick to official statement issued by eejit air or the | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
Ministry of civil aviation. -- issued by EgyptAir. | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
Ayew able to confirm whether there were distress reports or not? There | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
have been conflicting reports. It was reported there was a distress | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
signal at around 4:30am local time, the military team reported as | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
discovering that, but a military statement later totally denying the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
reports. So far we know that no distress calls were issued from the | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
cabin crew, according to official statements. We understand as well | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
that rescue and search operations are under way, the Army has already | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
deployed aircraft and maybe ships to search the area where the plane is | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
believed to have disappeared. Greece is helping as well, France has | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
offered help, we understand the National Security Council will | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
convene shortly. The Egyptian president has been in contact to try | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
to coordinate the search and rescue operations and efforts. . | :10:01. | :10:07. | |

following the disappearance of that flight, there is a free number you | :10:12. | :10:13. | |

Let's catch up with the sport. I still cannot get over the size of | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
that Diamond! Liverpool's dreams of another | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
European trophy and maybe even more importantly | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
champions league football Their fans outnumbered those | :14:05. | :14:05. | |
of opponents Sevilla in the Europa League final | :14:06. | :14:15. | |
last night in Basel, but on the pitch their players were | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
very much second-best. Liverpool dominated the first half | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
and took a deserved lead with this spectacular effort | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
from Daniel Sturridge. It took just 17 | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
seconds for Seviilla to equalise Kevin Gameiro put the Spanish side | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
level and then their captain Coke ruined Liverpool's | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
night with two goals. The second was initially | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
ruled out for offside It's Sevilla's THIRD successive | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
Europa League final win. It's the second final Liverpool have | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
lost under manager We will use this, that is what we | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
have to do. We are not in and international competition next year, | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
which means no football on Thursday, so we will use it and we will come | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
back stronger, that is the shore. They may have been relegated | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
from the Premier League, but some good news for Aston Villa | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
fans this morning, as a takeover has been agreed by Chinese | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
entrepreneur Dr Tony Xia. He's agreed a ?60-million | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
deal with current owner Randy Lerner, which is subject | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
to Football League approval. It would make him the sole owner | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
of the now Championship club. Overcrowded cells, thousands | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
of assaults, endemic drug use Prisons in England and Wales | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
face enormous challenges in achieving their aim | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
of rehabilitating prisoners Now the Government has unveiled | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
a series of proposals aimed Under the plans, tagged inmates | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
could be sent home on week days and there would be more emphasis | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
on educating prisoners. Governors in six prisons - | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
including Wandsworth, one of the biggest in Europe - | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
will be given new powers over budgets and setting | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
the daily regime. This week our correspondent | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
Ed Thomas has been reporting Here are some extracts | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
from his reports, which give a sense You won't be able | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
to defend yourself. If you can't defend yourself, | :16:05. | :16:18. | |
you'll become a victim, innit. They'll have murders in here, | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
left, right and centre. I've gone to them and I said | :16:25. | :16:47. | |
at the end of the day you are putting me in a predicament | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
where I have no alternative With the greatest of respect | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
they are so short staffed in here this place can't run, | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
it's unsafe, even a lot of the staff There is spice, you can get heroin, | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
you can get crack, you can get Right now all I've got to do | :17:01. | :17:14. | |
is go down to the twos, to the threes, to the ones, | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
everything is there, Here to discuss this | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
is Courtney Porter who has spent much of the last decade | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
in the prison system, Mark Johnson who spent time in jail | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
as a young adult and now runs a mentoring charity, | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
Former prison governor Peter Dawson, and Nina Champion a prison | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
education specialist. Thank you for joining us. Peter, you | :17:36. | :17:45. | |
are a former governor and deputy director of the Prison Reform Trust. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
The director of the Prison Reform Trust has summed up the situation in | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
Britain's is this by saying they have been the most neglected, least | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
visible public service. How would you sum it up? That is right. It is | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
encouraging that the Government has put prisoners at the front of their | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
injured agenda. It shows there is an urgent and immediate problem to be | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
soulful stock of prisons are not safe, it will not be possible for to | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
rehabilitate. That was a snapshot we are looking at. How representative | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
is it? Some prisoners are still doing a good job. National numbers | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
show the number of people dying, the number of assaults and the amount of | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
disorder in prisons is all getting worse. Those trends appear to be | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
accelerating. Where does rehabilitating inmates rank in the | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
list of priorities? Most people who have lived or worked in prison say | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
the safest prisons are the ones where prisoners are out most and | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
staff have a chance to get to know them it means staff can see where | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
they are not coping. Why does that not happen? It is the ratio between | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
staff and prisoners. You can increase the number of staff and | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
look at the number of people held in prison. We have doubled the number | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
of people imprisoned over the last 20 years. We have said you spent the | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
last ten years in and out of prison. What have you experience is being? | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
Mental health issues is the big thing. They do not address people | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
with mental health issues. You go in there and to get put into the stick. | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
It is really horrible. I have suffered from depression, illness. I | :19:46. | :19:55. | |
have tried to kill myself before. There's nothing for mental health. | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
That is a big issue. There was nothing where you get out of jail. | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
When you come out of jail there is nothing. They leave us with nothing. | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
You have to go to the Jobcentre for a course. There is no help, nothing. | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
When you have gone inside, each time, how have you felt? Have you | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
ever felt you are therefore rehabilitation? There is no | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
rehabilitation. I go in there and to the courses. When you come out none | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
of the courses are helping me. Do they do courses inside? Why did | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
they not help? You get the courses. When they come out | :20:39. | :20:50. | |
of jail, they do not mean nothing. You go to the Jobcentre. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
I have done English, maths, painting and decorating. | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
Quite a few courses. When I go to the Jobcentre, I have said, can you | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
for a forklift course? I found in jail and took it to the Jobcentre. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
They said, we cannot help you. You have to try and | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
sign on, tried to look for work. I have nowhere to live. I am sofa | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
surfing right now. Did you ever settle into a life with | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
a job? No, they never give people second | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
chances. If you have a criminal record, no one | :21:35. | :21:35. | |
gives us a second chance. Me, I will work anywhere. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
I will give 100%, 10% back. They do not do anything. My mother suffers | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
from schizophrenia. I have been through the system for a long time. | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
They do not help my mum, let alone me. You are 45. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
You went to jail when you were 16. You have spent four years in all in | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
jail. Tell us your experiences. said already about mental health and | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
drink and So many people have drink related | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
offending. None of the announcement is around | :22:17. | :22:29. | |
addressing the true causes. He said he would | :22:30. | :22:30. | |
put mental health as the number-one priority for him. | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
We are talking about staffing levels designs of prison and putting | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
prisoners back in control, but not getting to the | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
point. The last time you are in jail was | :22:42. | :22:54. | |
1997. What stop cycle? It was not prison. I used drugs from a very | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
early age. I got clean in 2000. I went to one-year residential drug | :23:06. | :23:06. | |
treatment. It was a 1970s room, with holes in the chairs and with a group | :23:07. | :23:17. | |
of people who really understood the nature of my problems. They were | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
prepared to roll their sleeves up and get into my head. | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
All of the consequences I had in the past. | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
caused me huge consequences, we talk about the victims. The | :23:26. | :23:36. | |
Once I addressed those reasons, I started to want to go to learn. I | :23:37. | :23:48. | |
did an RSA in arboriculture. I set up a charity in 2009 with my own | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
money. Now it turns over 1.6 million and reaches | :23:55. | :23:54. | |
The key parts, which gets missed across the board makes me quite | :23:55. | :24:06. | |
angry, is the public. When somebody goes to court and goes to prison, | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
the public wants to know the reasons they are there getting addressed. | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
Not literacy and numerous ee. It is very middle-class perception of | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
education and vocations. -- and numerous leave. You work with | :24:23. | :24:33. | |
education in prisons. The prison 's education trust has been calling for | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
a long time for reform to prison education. It is not just about a | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
sick qualifications but it includes out. It includes a much wider | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
aspect, addressing behaviours and attitudes, working with other | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
people. All the skills you need to survive and cope in prison and after | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
release. How widely is that happening? | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
Half will reoffend within a year of release. It needs radical change. | :25:03. | :25:15. | |
It is absolutely crucial. Education is a real driver for that. It is | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
about engaging people in education. Often they have really bad | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
experiences. The broad description of what you give would be different | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
from the perspective most people have when the word, education, is | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
first mentioned. Is that what you think will happen? I really hope so. | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
Giving governors the freedom and flexibility to look at the needs of | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
prison populations. Every prison is different. Prisoners who want | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
on courses and have a career, actually they should be harnessed. | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
He said he had to wait three months to get on a course. | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
Using things like arts and sports and | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
releasing people on day release and college and going on placements, all | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
of these things should drive a much bigger focus. One thing you cannot | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
get around is about the criminal record and people being | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
reluctant to give someone a second chance. The report | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
I recognise it as understanding what prisons are like and how | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
stitching bits together is difficult. Another important | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
announcement the Prime Minister made is called banging the box in the | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
civil service. You do not have to say at the first point whether you | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
have a criminal record or not. People can see what you are like and | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
judge you on your personality. It is really important that other | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
employers do that. The Prime Minister said it to put down a | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
challenge to other employers to adopt the same procedure. They were | :27:06. | :27:15. | |
talking about education progression. He has done a lot of low-level | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
courses. People want to progress to higher levels. If you're going for a | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
job in competing against some of who does not have a conviction, you have | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
something extra to offer an employer and say, I have a level three rather | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
than a level two and I have this further experience. That will give | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
you the edge. Housing is the main thing was that if you do not have | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
someone stable with you, they move you back into the same area where | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
you will be offended. It is appalling. I have been through the | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
system so much. They have never, ever help me out. What do you say | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
about that? More importantly a more relevant now | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
is I am in an organisation run by mostly prisoners. | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
disconnect, the announcements made in prison, everyone agrees broadly | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
it is really positive but it still does not tackle the real key points. | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
within four walls. The problem is, everybody gets out. If he has not | :28:21. | :28:34. | |
had his key issues addressed, why other reasons you are here? I know | :28:35. | :28:41. | |
Courtney did not get assessed. He still has not been assessed for | :28:42. | :28:45. | |
mental health. On release there is a disconnect because there are 21 | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
different providers around the country that to rehabilitation | :28:51. | :28:52. | |
within the community and they need to be shared. The governors need to | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
have a stake in long-term rehabilitation. We need to be | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
looking at that as not to separate organisations or five, it needs to | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
be one. Someone needs to be in charge of getting the numbers down | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
and really reducing reoffending. That is what so great about looking | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
at the outcome focused measures. It is about looking at | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
what is beyond the gate. If you start to say, you will be judged on | :29:21. | :29:27. | |
a number of people who reoffend when they are released and the number of | :29:28. | :29:30. | |
people with accommodation at the number of people going into | :29:31. | :29:34. | |
education training, suddenly that becomes a big incentive for everyone | :29:35. | :29:37. | |
to start looking beyond the gate and what will happen afterwards. | :29:38. | :29:45. | |
Well, in a statement the Justice Secretary Michael Gove | :29:46. | :29:47. | |
said prisons must do more to rehabilitate offenders. | :29:48. | :29:50. | |
In a statement he said: "By trusting governors to get on with the job, | :29:51. | :29:53. | |
we can make sure prisons are places of education, work and | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
These reforms will reduce re-offending, cut crime | :29:57. | :29:58. | |
Let me bring you some news on the missing plane that was travelling to | :29:59. | :30:18. | |
Cairo, MS804, 66 passengers on board, believed to have gone down | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
near to the Greek island of Karpathos. We are hearing the Royal | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
Navy is now making contingency plans to help in the search. RFA Lyme Bay, | :30:27. | :30:32. | |
Cardigan Bay and HMS enterprise are all in the region and are ready to | :30:33. | :30:37. | |
help if requested. You can see there the map, the plane went down in the | :30:38. | :30:43. | |
early hours of the morning just short of Cairo, its destination from | :30:44. | :30:49. | |
Paris. It was an Airbus A320. There were initial reports that a distress | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
signal was sent out but those reports have been denied. The | :30:54. | :30:59. | |
Egyptian Prime Minister has said he cannot rule out any possibility when | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
asked whether a terrorist attack was behind that plane going missing. We | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
are expecting a news conference live in Paris shortly, so we will bring | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
that to you when it happens, and we will keep you up-to-date with all of | :31:14. | :31:15. | |
the latest of elements. In the next few minutes a court | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
is due to rule on a privacy injunction preventing identificaiton | :31:20. | :31:26. | |
of a celebrity involved We will be talking about that in | :31:27. | :31:28. | |
Junction and the ruling today. Sir Nicholas Winton, | :31:29. | :31:43. | |
the man known as Britain's Schindler is remembered for bringing nearly | :31:44. | :31:45. | |
700 Jewish children to Britain in 1939 - we speak to his son | :31:46. | :31:47. | |
and one of the children he rescued. Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom | :31:48. | :31:51. | |
with a summary of todays news. It's reported that an EgyptAir plane | :31:52. | :31:54. | |
from Paris to Cairo that disappeared off radar overnight has | :31:55. | :32:04. | |
crashed 130 miles off There were 66 people on board, | :32:05. | :32:08. | |
including one British person. Flight MS804 - an Airbus A320 - | :32:09. | :32:12. | |
was en route from Paris to Cairo. It went missing about 20 minutes | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
before it was due to land The RAF says it is making | :32:16. | :32:24. | |
contingency plans to help look for the missing plane, and the Royal | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
Navy said it has three ships in the region ready to help if requested. | :32:28. | :32:31. | |
Superbugs resistant to antibiotics will kill someone every three | :32:32. | :32:33. | |

A global review led by the economist Jim O'Neill was asked | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
by the Prime Minister to investigate the problem two years ago. | :32:41. | :32:43. | |

a new contract for junior doctors in England. | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
Both sides reached an agreement on weekend working, | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
after ten days of talks at the conciliation service, | :33:13. | :33:14. | |

More than 200,000 Vauxhall Zafiras are to be recalled for a second time | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
over a problem that has seen some cars burst into flames. | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
The manufacturer said the issue was caused by improper | :33:38. | :33:39. | |
repairs to the vehicles' blower motor resistor. | :33:40. | :33:42. | |
The cars were initially recalled last December. | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News. | :33:46. | :33:52. | |
Let me just tell you that we are hearing from the Supreme Court that | :33:53. | :34:02. | |
the celebrity who wants to keep his name out of a tabloid newspaper in a | :34:03. | :34:09. | |
story about alleged extramarital activities has won his fight at the | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
Supreme Court to stop the Sun On Sunday revealing his identity, that | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
has just come through and we will be talking about it shortly, but that's | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
just through from the Supreme Court. That catch up with the sport with | :34:21. | :34:21. | |

against Sri Lanka at Headingley. The 31-year-old needs just 36 runs | :35:10. | :35:13. | |
to become the youngest player Let me bring you back to that | :35:14. | :35:32. | |
Supreme Court ruling I was telling you about a moment ago. The | :35:33. | :35:36. | |
celebrity who wants to keep his name out of a tabloid newspaper story | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
about alleged extramarital activities has won his fight against | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
the Sun On Sunday revealing his identity. Let's take you straight to | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
the supreme court to listen in. Section 12 subsection four's | :35:50. | :35:51. | |
reference to a privacy code is relevant to the children since MGN | :35:52. | :35:58. | |
subscribes to the independent press and the scope which confirms editors | :35:59. | :36:02. | |
must demonstrate an exceptional public interest to override the | :36:03. | :36:05. | |
normally paramount interests of children. Fourthly, as to public | :36:06. | :36:12. | |
availability. It is true that the story has been accessible on the | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
Internet and social media. But if the injunction were to be lifted | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
there would be intensive coverage of the story by the Sun On Sunday and | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
there is little doubt by other newspapers, as well as unrestricted | :36:27. | :36:31. | |
Internet and social media coverage. All of which would constitute | :36:32. | :36:34. | |
additional and potentially more enduring invasions of the privacy of | :36:35. | :36:39. | |
PDFs, his partner, and their children. Turning to other factors, | :36:40. | :36:46. | |
if publication were permitted now, it would be likely to deprive a | :36:47. | :36:51. | |
trial of any real purpose since all privacy by then would have been | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
destroyed. Damages after the event, whatever their measure, would be | :36:57. | :37:00. | |
unlikely to give any real consolation or redress to any of | :37:01. | :37:05. | |
those involved. Bearing in mind all the circumstances, the court has | :37:06. | :37:11. | |
come to the conclusion that the injunction should continue pending | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
trial on the basis that first the absence on present evidence on any | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
genuine public interest justifying publication means that a permanent | :37:21. | :37:24. | |
injunction would be likely to be granted at trial, and second and | :37:25. | :37:28. | |
interim injunction is appropriate to project -- protect PJS, his partner | :37:29. | :37:37. | |
and their children pending a full trial which should not be rendered | :37:38. | :37:47. | |
substantially relevant. The appeal will accordingly be allowed and the | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
injunction restored and continued until trial or further order. | :37:51. | :37:58. | |
The court is now adjourned. That was the ruling in the Supreme | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
Court that means that the celebrity who wants to keep his name out of a | :38:03. | :38:07. | |
tabloid newspaper story about alleged extramarital activities has | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
won his fight to stop the Sun On Sunday revealing his identity. We | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
heard the judge saying the editors must demonstrate exceptional public | :38:17. | :38:18. | |
interest to override the paramount interest of children and said that | :38:19. | :38:27. | |
was not the case in this particular case. He described relatively old | :38:28. | :38:31. | |
sexual history and two young children involved here. The | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
injunction remains in place. We will be talking more about that added | :38:36. | :38:36. | |
later. Let's get more now on the EgyptAir | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
plane which has gone missing One report says it's come down 130 | :38:40. | :38:41. | |
miles from the Greek The plane was flying | :38:42. | :38:45. | |
from Paris to Cairo when it I can now speak to Simon Boxall, | :38:46. | :38:49. | |
an oceanographer with Thank you for joining us. Tell us | :38:50. | :39:03. | |
how easy or difficult it will be to locate wreckage if it has gone down | :39:04. | :39:08. | |
in that area, as is suspected? If it has, it would be relatively easy to | :39:09. | :39:13. | |
locate service wreckage. A very different scenario to MH370 which | :39:14. | :39:16. | |
tragically went down over two years ago in the Indian Ocean. They have a | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
fairly accurate pinpoint as to where the plane was last seen on radar so | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
the search area is very small and of course it sits surrounded by | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
reasonably close land, which means that ships, aircraft and helicopters | :39:31. | :39:33. | |
can reach the scene relatively quickly. In the cage of MH370 it was | :39:34. | :39:43. | |
two or three days for a ship to get there, by the time aircraft got | :39:44. | :39:46. | |
there they only spent a short period of time on search, so it is a | :39:47. | :39:49. | |
question of when rather than if they find anything from this particular | :39:50. | :39:51. | |
aircraft. And how long do you suspect a search like this might | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
take? It is difficult to say. There is an assumption that the | :39:57. | :39:59. | |
Mediterranean is shallow, but the area it has gone down in is very | :40:00. | :40:04. | |
rugged, up to three kilometres, nearly two miles deep, so it is | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
still deep water and anything on the sea bed will take months to find and | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
recover. But that is assuming it has gone down. It is very early to say | :40:13. | :40:20. | |
yet. It is not a simple task but it is possible. What about conditions | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
in the area? Those are factors that will be relevant in any search and | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
rescue operation. We have heard that air traffic control report no | :40:30. | :40:33. | |
serious weather issues. That does not tell us what the state of the | :40:34. | :40:37. | |
sea is like, aircraft don't tend to worry about the state, and this area | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
can whip up some big storms this time of year. I have worked out | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
there and in the space of a few hours you can go from flat, calm | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
seas to stormy seas quite quickly. The weather will not necessarily be | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
that classic Mediterranean flat, calm sea, so that can cause problems | :40:54. | :40:58. | |
but again it comes back to identifying what happened to the | :40:59. | :41:01. | |
aircraft and then the search and rescue would be a relatively small | :41:02. | :41:04. | |
area. They will get to the bottom of what happened. If and when the | :41:05. | :41:10. | |
wreckage is located, if this is what has happened, will it be retrieved | :41:11. | :41:16. | |
from the sea bed? What normally happens? We are looking at deep | :41:17. | :41:21. | |
water so it is retrievable, if you think back to the problems BP had | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
with the Gulf of Mexico spill, the water there was relatively shallow | :41:28. | :41:31. | |
compared to the water here, so you are still talking about | :41:32. | :41:34. | |
technological challenges, but it is possible, there is the tools and | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
technology to work to these depths, so it is a question of mounting an | :41:39. | :41:44. | |
exercise, assuming there is nothing on the sea bed, to recover from the | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
sea bed, and we are looking here at the black boxes. And presumably an | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
Operation Magnum 's would be very expensive, specialist undertaking? | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
Very much so but of course there are a lot of countries and operation | :41:58. | :42:04. | |
like this. It would be under the auspices of the extent -- to an | :42:05. | :42:07. | |
extent of the EU as well. Thank you very much. Let's go back | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
to the Supreme Court which has rejected an attempt to overturn a | :42:13. | :42:15. | |
privacy injunction which prevents the identical occasion of as a | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
liberty involved in an extramarital threesome in England and Wales. The | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
court ruled it was private and there was no public interest despite | :42:25. | :42:28. | |
intense coverage outside in America, Canada and Scotland. Sarah Campbell | :42:29. | :42:36. | |
is at the Supreme Court. Tell us more about the reasons given in the | :42:37. | :42:43. | |
judgment. This court case started off as a | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
basic kiss and tell story, two individuals going to a national | :42:49. | :42:51. | |
newspaper with details of sexual encounters with a married, | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
well-known public individual, and it developed from there. In January of | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
this year and injunction was put in place on the grounds of breached | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
privacy, which meant nobody in England or Wales, no paper, no | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
publication, could publish the name of that individual. What is | :43:11. | :43:13. | |
different about this case is that the name was published in the United | :43:14. | :43:19. | |
States, Canada and Scotland, and so what News group newspapers, who | :43:20. | :43:22. | |
owned the Sun On Sunday, was arguing was that because effectively that | :43:23. | :43:26. | |
was the case this injunction should be lifted, but by a majority of 4-1 | :43:27. | :43:31. | |
today the Supreme Court gave their judgment to say, no, that is not the | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
case. Going through the reasons, this has always been a balancing act | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
between the freedom of expression of the press, their right to do that, | :43:40. | :43:45. | |
and the rights of the individual. In summing up the judgment, saying | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
privacy interests, the publication would infringe the privacy rights of | :43:52. | :43:54. | |
PJS, their partner and their children. There is no public | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
interest in publishing kiss and tell stories or criticisms of Private | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
sexual conduct. And with relation to this injunction and whether these | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
injunctions work or not, this is interesting, it says, as to public | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
availability it is true the story has been accessible on the Internet | :44:13. | :44:15. | |
and social media but if the injunction were to be lifted there | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
would be more intensive coverage, and he goes onto say that this would | :44:20. | :44:22. | |
mean additional and potentially more enduring invasions the privacy of | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
PJS, their partner and children. There is an ongoing legal court | :44:28. | :44:33. | |
case, in the run-up to the court case looking at breach of privacy, | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
so we now know that nobody should be able to publish the names involved | :44:38. | :44:43. | |
until that court case happens. One of the four judges who did disagree | :44:44. | :44:48. | |
said that although the story would involve acute unpleasantness, it is | :44:49. | :44:52. | |
not going to go away, injunction or no injunction, which gives a sense | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
that even in legal circles this is a tricky issue. | :44:57. | :44:57. | |
Thanks very much, Sarah. Let's talk now to Sara Mansoori QC, | :44:58. | :45:03. | |
a leading injunction lawyer, who has represented football stars | :45:04. | :45:06. | |
Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs as well as Max Mosley, | :45:07. | :45:08. | |
who used to be in charge Thank you for coming in, what is | :45:09. | :45:14. | |
your reaction to the ruling? It represents a fundamental shift in | :45:15. | :45:20. | |
the law of privacy, and it is a recognition by the Supreme Court | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
that these injunctions protect not just secrets but also from | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
unwarranted and unwelcome intrusion, where that intrusion is going | :45:30. | :45:37. | |
When you say it is a fundamental shift in the law of privacy, define | :45:38. | :45:47. | |
at exactly. It is a fairly new remedy that is available. It has | :45:48. | :45:57. | |
come from the Law of Confidence. Once information is out in the | :45:58. | :46:01. | |
public domain, it is no longer confidential. We have seen the | :46:02. | :46:05. | |
definition of privity being explained so it does not just | :46:06. | :46:09. | |
protect secrets but also protects from unwarranted harassment. One of | :46:10. | :46:15. | |
the key factors cited by the judge is that they must demonstrate an | :46:16. | :46:28. | |
interest to overwrite bashers mag they must demonstrate that children | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
are paramount. -- they must demonstrate. This is a family right | :46:33. | :46:39. | |
as well as an individual right. The other factor that was very important | :46:40. | :46:43. | |
was public interest. The newspaper had failed to demonstrate there was | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
any public interest in publishing this story. What it's all to do was | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
say that there was public interest because you were correcting a false | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
image this couple were presenting. It was found that was not the case. | :46:56. | :47:03. | |
What would your expectation be? The threshold was raised for newspapers | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
to publish and it is less likely that celebrities would seek | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
injunctions or they are still likely... This is likely to continue | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
and injunctions are likely to be sought. Will anything change | :47:16. | :47:21. | |
materially? We will have to see what happens in practice. What we have | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
seen is increased attention on the individuals who have sought this in | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
junction. It may be that others think it is not worth it. -- this | :47:30. | :47:36. | |
injunction. We will have to see what happens in practice. | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
We will be live in Paris as Egypt and the British Royal Navy will hunt | :47:41. | :47:53. | |
for the missing name. We will keep you up to date with all the latest | :47:54. | :47:54. | |
developments. In 1939, with Europe on the brink | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
of war, a British man - Sir Nicholas Winton - | :47:59. | :48:01. | |
did an extraordinary thing. Aware of the growing threat | :48:02. | :48:03. | |
from Nazis, he arranged for at least 669 Jewish children to be rescued | :48:04. | :48:06. | |
from Prague and brought to England. Undeterred by bureaucracy in both | :48:07. | :48:09. | |
countries, he worked tirelessly to find British families willing | :48:10. | :48:11. | |
to look after the boys He died last summer at the age | :48:12. | :48:14. | |
of 106, with the prime minister describing him as a "great man" | :48:15. | :48:20. | |
and the chief rabbi praising his After the war, Sir Nicholas' heroic | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
efforts were kept quiet for a half-century, | :48:26. | :48:31. | |
until being revealed on Esther Rantzen's TV programme | :48:32. | :48:33. | |
That's Life' in 1988. Vera Gissing is here | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
with us tonight. I should tell you that | :48:39. | :48:40. | |
you are actually sitting next to He is here tonight, so you too | :48:41. | :48:43. | |
can thank Mr Winton. And I am another of | :48:44. | :49:11. | |
the children that you saved. That was incredibly moving. It was | :49:12. | :49:37. | |
the most moving TV seen in my opinion. You were one of the kids. I | :49:38. | :49:45. | |
was not there. I did not know anything. You are saved thanks to | :49:46. | :49:53. | |
him. Yes, he saved my life and the lives of my parents. I was always, | :49:54. | :50:00. | |
is this real? I am sorry, I didn't know. I must introduce you as well. | :50:01. | :50:09. | |
You are the son of Nicholas Winton. With great imagination he chose the | :50:10. | :50:15. | |
same name. Your father did something so extraordinary. It is moving for | :50:16. | :50:20. | |
everybody to watch. For you as a child, seeing your dad and knowing | :50:21. | :50:29. | |
what he did how old were you? I was in my 30s. It was only when I saw | :50:30. | :50:33. | |
that piece of film I realised the significance of what he had done. At | :50:34. | :50:40. | |
that point, it was just fables and stories. I do not know about you. I | :50:41. | :50:45. | |
did not pay a huge amount of attention to all the things my | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
father said. I realised the implications of it. It was very | :50:50. | :50:54. | |
moving. Still today I can get quite tearful watching it. How did he | :50:55. | :51:04. | |
react? I think he had felt he had been hoodwinked. He thought he was | :51:05. | :51:09. | |
going as an adviser for the story. He did not know there were these | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
children he had saved in the audience. It was very much a setup, | :51:14. | :51:21. | |
the way you guys in TV do it. You are going to a memorial service for | :51:22. | :51:28. | |
Sir Nicholas. You have come from the United States. Tell us why you have | :51:29. | :51:35. | |
travelled so far. I came straight from home, in Madison, Wisconsin. My | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
family and I have lived there for 40 years since we left England in 1975. | :51:41. | :51:48. | |
But that was also my second stay in England. I spent two times seven | :51:49. | :51:55. | |
years here in this country. The first seven years were during the | :51:56. | :51:59. | |
war. The second seven years were when the Russians invaded. The | :52:00. | :52:05. | |
Russians with the Warsaw Pact armies. They invaded Czechoslovakia | :52:06. | :52:11. | |
literally and physically. That is until we ran again and ran to | :52:12. | :52:20. | |
England again. You were an H girl, living in Czechoslovakia. You put on | :52:21. | :52:28. | |
a train. -- and eight-year old girl. What did you know about being sent | :52:29. | :52:35. | |
away from your family? I knew a great deal. Comparatively more than | :52:36. | :52:39. | |
many children. I am grateful to my parents for that. They were honest | :52:40. | :52:45. | |
with me. I just had my eighth birthday when I left. Around the age | :52:46. | :52:51. | |
of six and seven, things started changing in my life. I was an only | :52:52. | :52:57. | |
child, we were Jewish but not particularly highly religious. I was | :52:58. | :53:02. | |
very safe and secure and had loving parents. Particularly my mother was | :53:03. | :53:10. | |
a very, very active and proactive and bright woman. She happened when | :53:11. | :53:18. | |
I was about six, seven, to hear a speech and then read it in the | :53:19. | :53:21. | |
newspaper by a member of argument from here, whose name was George | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
Lansbury. He was talking about Hitler and telling the families that | :53:28. | :53:34. | |
Hitler meant business. This was not just a question of perhaps an | :53:35. | :53:37. | |
exiting Austria, which is what happened, or even an exceeding part | :53:38. | :53:45. | |
of Czechoslovakia. -- annex thing. Hitler meant business and he was | :53:46. | :53:54. | |
going to annihilate nations. Your family well understood what was | :53:55. | :54:02. | |
going on. The chance you were given by being put on that train. When did | :54:03. | :54:06. | |
you realise that Sir Nicholas Winton was the man who did that and that | :54:07. | :54:10. | |
you effectively owe your life to him? I did not realise anything | :54:11. | :54:18. | |
about him before the beginning of 1990. When this film happens, I | :54:19. | :54:31. | |
think I knew. People ask, how come you didn't know who saved your life? | :54:32. | :54:43. | |
He invented this organisation, which was called, the British committee | :54:44. | :54:51. | |
for children from Prague. As he says in his DVD, he invited himself to be | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
the president of this committee and he called a meeting with himself. | :54:57. | :55:02. | |
There will be a great sense of humour but this is what he did. I | :55:03. | :55:08. | |
have many documents, correspondence, with him. They were signed with a | :55:09. | :55:15. | |
squiggle. At the bottom there was a stamp which said, the British | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
committee for children from Prague. My mother assumed there was a | :55:20. | :55:25. | |
network of people in Prague, who were trying to help children. She | :55:26. | :55:31. | |
would say, we have another letter from the committee. It was not that | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
they were ignorant or in different to the person who saved hours, the | :55:37. | :55:44. | |
children. They felt there was a group, a network, or something. On | :55:45. | :55:50. | |
his part he was working in London as a stockbroker. He went out of his | :55:51. | :55:57. | |
way to help these kids, these families. What was he like? The | :55:58. | :56:03. | |
first misconception is he did this single-handedly. He had workers | :56:04. | :56:06. | |
staying in Prague while he was back in London. Without them it would not | :56:07. | :56:11. | |
have been possible. He was the instigator of the project. In those | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
days, the stock exchange closed at 3:30pm. He had the afternoon and | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
evening is to work on this as a project. As a project, it was nine | :56:22. | :56:26. | |
months of part-time work. Very intensive part-time work but it was | :56:27. | :56:35. | |
a project for him. Tell us what he was like. His motto was, if | :56:36. | :56:41. | |
something is not impossible, there must be a way of doing it. That is | :56:42. | :56:49. | |
what drove him, I presume. Yes, and continued to in later life. He had a | :56:50. | :56:53. | |
number of other projects where he was determined to make a difference. | :56:54. | :56:59. | |
I am also picking up on some of his ideas, as she would expect. I am | :57:00. | :57:06. | |
working on sorting the problem for generation rents, one of the big | :57:07. | :57:10. | |
issues of today. He was determined that when something needed doing, | :57:11. | :57:13. | |
get on and do it and do not worry about the niceties of whether it is | :57:14. | :57:17. | |
right or whether the rules prohibit it. Just make sure it gets done. | :57:18. | :57:24. | |
Good to talk to your both. You are off to the memorial service. | :57:25. | :57:27. | |
Imminently. Stay with us for the latest lines | :57:28. | :57:37. | |
out of Greece and Paris on the missing airline plane. | :57:38. | :57:44. | |
Mixed fortunes today. There is some cloud, rain and some of us will have | :57:45. | :57:56. | |
some sunshine. On the satellite you can see the extent of the cloud | :57:57. | :58:00. | |
cover. It is a weak weather front heading east. The second one coming | :58:01. | :58:05. | |
in is also producing some wet weather. Moving across Northern | :58:06. | :58:12. | |
Ireland, it will fringe into western parts of England, Scotland and Wales | :58:13. | :58:15. | |
as we go through the course of the day. In between there is some | :58:16. | :58:19. | |
sunshine. We have bigger cloud out towards the east. Again some | :58:20. | :58:23. | |
isolated showers. Cloud breaking up with sunny spells developing and the | :58:24. | :58:28. | |
rain continuing to push through and out of Northern Ireland, moving | :58:29. | :58:31. | |
across much of northern Scotland, north-west England, Wales and the | :58:32. | :58:34. | |
south-west will stop this afternoon across Northern Ireland be one or | :58:35. | :58:38. | |
two showers. -- and the south-west was to hear is the heavy rain moving | :58:39. | :58:45. | |
across Scotland making good progress towards eastern areas by 4pm. There | :58:46. | :58:49. | |
will be heavy rain across much of north-west England. Ranging over | :58:50. | :58:52. | |
towards north-east England. Heavy rain over North Wales. Into East | :58:53. | :58:59. | |
Anglia, Essex and Kent, variable amounts of cloud. Some thick enough | :59:00. | :59:04. | |
for the odd shower but sunny spells as well. In the sunshine it will | :59:05. | :59:09. | |
feel pleasant. Full south-west England and South Wales, the tail | :59:10. | :59:12. | |
end of the weather front. It is fairly weak and the rain will be | :59:13. | :59:17. | |
patchy in nature. In the evening and overnight, there goes the rain | :59:18. | :59:21. | |
heading off into the North Sea. They'll be quite a lot of clout was | :59:22. | :59:24. | |
some breaks in the cloud and clear skies. I overnight temperatures not | :59:25. | :59:33. | |
too low for most of us we are looking at double figures. -- | :59:34. | :59:38. | |
overnight temperatures. Across Scotland and Northern Ireland, the | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
far north of England, showers moving south across the Pennines. We could | :59:43. | :59:47. | |
see one or two into South Wales. For most it will be dry and there will | :59:48. | :59:50. | |
be some sunshine. Later in the day, it looks like we will see some | :59:51. | :59:55. | |
coming into the West. The timing for the band of rain keeps changing. It | :59:56. | :59:59. | |
will have a real impact on what is happening with the weather at the | :00:00. | :00:02. | |
weekend. This is what we think at the moment. Through the weekend rain | :00:03. | :00:09. | |
will be eastwards. The weather once again is looking unsettled. | :00:10. | :00:20. | |
Hello, it's Thursday, it's 10am. | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
I'm Joanna Gosling, welcome to the programme | :00:30. | :00:30. | |
if you've just joined us- coming up before 11. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
The top story today - search planes and ships speed | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
to an area off the Greek islands where a passenger plane | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
people disappeared off radar in the early hours of this morning. | :00:42. | :00:55. | |
They have pinpointed a relatively accurate area of where the plane was | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
last seen said the surge area is fairly small and the area is | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
surrounded by land which means ships and aircraft can reach the area | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
quickly. Egypt's Prime Minister says they can | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
not rule out a terrorist We will be live in Cairo | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
and at Charles de Gaulle airport in France where families wait | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
anxiously for news. Also today - one death every three | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
seconds from superbugs, the latest blunt warning | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
about the future unless there's urgent action to tackle | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
antibiotic resistance. An EgyptAir passenger plane, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
flying from Paris to Cairo, has disappeared from the radar | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
screens over the Mediterranean sea. Aviation officials in Egypt say | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
they believe the flight crashed. Flight MS804 had 56 passengers | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
and ten crew on board, Most of the passengers | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
were Egyptian, there were also 15 French | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
people and one Briton. The Airbus 320 left Paris | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
at about 11PM yesterday It was scheduled to fly over | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
the Adriatic and across Greece, arriving in the Egyptian capital | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
soon after 3am local time. It went missing from | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
the radar at 2am local time, with the first reports coming out | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
about five hours ago. The plane was flying at 37,000 feet | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
when it disappeared ten miles The last contact with the pilot | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
was about ten minutes before Egypt's Prime Minister | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
says search and rescue The French have offered planes | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
and ships to help out. The Royal Navy says it is also ready | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
to assist. The Egyptian Prime Minister | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
was asked if terrorism could be involved - | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
he said no possibility These were the scenes | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
at the check-in desks at Charles de Gaulle airport as the news | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
emerged this morning. The EgyptAir flight took off | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
from here hours earlier The airline said there were 56 | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
passengers including one child and two babies, | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
as well as ten crew on board MS804. The Airbus A320 was travelling | :02:56. | :03:07. | |
from Paris to Cairo. It disappeared from radar about ten | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
miles after entering Egyptian airspace above the | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
Mediterranean Sea. The airline tweeted that flight | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
MS804 lost contact at 2:45am, about 20 minutes before | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
it was scheduled to land They said they had contacted | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
the authorities. The majority of the passengers were | :03:20. | :03:32. | |
from Egypt. There was one British citizen and 15 were French. | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
TRANSLATION: The president of the Republic has held an urgent meeting | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
with the Prime Minister and other ministers. The first priority is to | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
inform the families. The Foreign Ministry crisis is operational. An | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
emergency number has been provided and the families have been hosted at | :03:51. | :03:51. | |
a hotel. Search teams have been sent | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
to the last recorded location, 30 to 40 miles north | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
of Egypt's coast. According to one unconfirmed report, | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
the captain of a ship about 150 miles south of the Greek island | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
of Karpathos reported They have now pinpointed roughly | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
where they think it has gone down. Unfortunately it is the deepest part | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
of the Mediterranean. My understanding is there are ships, | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
boats and a radar plane on its way to the crash site, | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
and so they are basically suggesting that it has actually gone down | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
into the Mediterranean. As time goes by, Cairo International | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Airport has become a focal point, where families of the missing | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
passengers have started to gather as they await news | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
of their loved ones. We can talk to our transport | :04:39. | :04:51. | |
correspondent Richard Wescott, who is here. They think they have | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
pinpointed a possible crash site, what is that based on? | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
It is based on radar, effectively. Every commercial aircraft brings out | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
messages of where it is, the height it is, the speed it is, we can all | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
look at that data on various apps and the data just stopped. There | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
will also be lots of military radar around there, you cannot hide from | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
military radar, it picks up objects in the sky and does not rely | :05:15. | :05:35. | |
on the aircraft telling it where it is so there is a fair bet they would | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
have spotted it if it stops sending signals but carried on flying | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
because there is a lot of military in that sensitive area, Egypt, | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Greece, so on, so that is what they are basing it on, it effectively | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
disappeared from the radar screens. What do they have to go on, at these | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
early stages, as they start to look at what could have caused the | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
plaintiff to severe? I have just been at a conference of | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
air Accident Investigation does, 44 countries represented, and they said | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
the same thing, they never jumped to a conclusion, it is critical. But it | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
is significant that there does not appear to have been a distress | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
signal and when you talk to pilots they say even in pretty bad | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
emergencies you have normally got a chance to get some kind of distress | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
call out, it is quite quick to do, you can punch in four numbers and | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
press enter. They will be trying to control in an emergency | :06:13. | :06:38. | |
first but there is normally time after that to at least tell somebody | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
they are in trouble. That doesn't seem to have happened this time, | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
which suggests something happened very, very quickly. The radar data | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
stops when it was very high, does not show it coming down at all, so | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
it all points to something happening quickly. That could literally be a | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
hole in the aircraft, a fault with the aircraft, when it breaks up in | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
the air. That is very, very red. It of course leads to the possibility | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
as well that there could be at explosive device on board. | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
We know there were three security personnel on board, is that unusual? | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Not for aircraft flying in those sorts of areas. The Americans have a | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
lot of air marshals flying on board as well looking for suspicious | :07:05. | :07:05. | |
people, people doing suspicious things, so it is not unusual but | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
that is just people on board. It is quite possible if this was some kind | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
of terrorist attacks, and we don't know it was, that there is nothing | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
to the on-board. It is possible something could have been put on the | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
aircraft at an airport it visited beforehand, so there would be | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
nothing they could do. People like that are there to dis- incentivise | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
attacks, and if someone tries to storm a cockpit those people come | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
into their own, but it does not necessarily mean these things cannot | :07:32. | :07:32. | |
happen. You can find the latest on this | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
developing story on a special live bait on the BBC News website. We | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
will keep you updated of course on all the latest developments here, we | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
have got more coming up shortly. Let's catch up with the rest of the | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
news in the BBC newsroom. The Supreme Court has just rejected | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
an attempt to overturn a privacy injunction preventing identification | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
of a celebrity involved in an extramarital threesome | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
in England and Wales. The 4-1 decision says just because | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
the couple is well-known is no right to invade privacy. There is no | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
public interest, however much it may be of interest to members of the | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
public, in publishing kiss and tell stories or criticisms of Private | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
sexual conduct simply because the persons involved are well known. | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Superbugs resistant to antibiotics will kill someone every three | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
seconds by 2050 unless the world acts now, according | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
A global review led by the economist Jim O'Neill was asked | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
by the Prime Minister to investigate the problem two years ago. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
In its final report it says over ?27 billion needs to be | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
While the review was taking place, doctors discovered bacteria that can | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
shrug off a medicine called colistin - known as | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
More on that story during the programme. | :08:53. | :09:03. | |
A leading Conservative MP campaigning for the UK to leave | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
the EU says the debate has descended into "insults, personal attacks | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
Steve Baker, who co-chairs the Conservatives For Britain group, | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
has accused Downing Street of briefing against Tories | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
However, Number Ten has dismissed the claims and insist its campaign | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
The doctors' union, the British Medical Association, | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
is to ballot its members about whether to accept a deal | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
reached yesterday with Government negotiators to end the dispute over | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
a new contract for junior doctors in England. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Both sides reached an agreement on weekend working, | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
after ten days of talks at the conciliation service, | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
The BMA says it's the "best and final way" to end the row. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
Researchers from Oxford University say people who have symptoms | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
of a minor stroke should be given aspirin immediately. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
A study in the medical journal The Lancet claims the benefits | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
of aspirin in preventing further strokes or limiting their harm | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
A rare diamond has fetched an astonishing ?39.5 million | :09:58. | :10:09. | |

who controlled the Diamond Syndicate in London. | :10:28. | :10:28. | |
The buyer's identity hasn't been made public. | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News. | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Lots of you getting in touch about the prison reforms that we were | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
talking about. Proposals to give governors more control to try to | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
help with rehabilitation of inmates. Audrey says, my son is in Exeter | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
prison, he says staff say no to letting people out | :10:50. | :11:07. | |
too often. William says, the idea of sending non-dangerous offenders to | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
jail is outdated nonsense. Late in says, the main essential support | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
should be from someone who follows the rehab programme with each | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
prisoner then follows them outside also to closely help through the | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
initial discharge period. Also, many prisoners would benefit better from | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
community service rather than custody. Probation officers should | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
have access to a variety of help agencies to do more than simply | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
supervise. Kay says, the military prison has a | :11:32. | :11:41. | |
high non-offending rate, why don't we look at that? | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
Eight Tai Chi teacher had e-mailed to say they were in prison for a | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
minor offence, asked to teach tai chi whilst in prison but was not | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
allowed to because prison is meant to be punishment. OK, but if you | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
want to help prisoners change their lives, why not use every possible | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
thing to help, he asks? Kelly says, I'm watching your piece | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
on prison reform and feel the problem starts way back into society | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
in the way we socialise boys who are taught to switch off their feelings, | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
not allowed to cry, etc. By the time they get to present it is too late | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
the many. Thank you for those comments. | :12:16. | :12:17. | |

We will keep you updated of course on the plane that is believed to | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
have gone down near the Greek island of Karpathos en route from Paris to | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
Cairo. We will be live with our correspondent in Paris in just a few | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
moments. First, let's catch up with the sport. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
For many the cricket means summer's really here. | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
England take on Sri Lanka at Headingley in less than an hour, | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
Alastair Cook's men should be full of confidence after an impressive | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
series win in South Africa over the winter. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
Let's speak to our correspondent Andy Swiss, who's in Leeds | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
A big day for Captain Cook? That is right, the fans, as you can | :13:01. | :13:11. | |
see, are starting to arrive here and they know they could watch a piece | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
of cricketing history potentially today because Alistair Cook needs | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
just 36 more runs to reach the 10,000 mark, in Test cricket, and if | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
he does so he will be the first Englishman to reach 10,000 runs, and | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
would also be the youngest ever player to reach 10,000 will stop | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
Cook, 31 years four months old, six months younger than Sachin Tendulkar | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
when he reached the 10,000 milestone. He would be just the 12th | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
player in test history to get to 10,000 runs, joining the likes of | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
ten dork, Brian Lara, router bit, and he says he is looking forward to | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
the challenge. Great to try to score the 36 runs. I have just got to put | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
that to bed now after this press conference and focus on doing what I | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
have done I suppose in the previous ten years, which is trying to | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
concentrate on that ball coming down and nothing else. If it is your day, | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
try to go began to get a big score. Alistair Cook and his team should be | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
confident after that Test series win in South Africa, also their | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
impressive performance at the world Twenty20. There will be a debut for | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Hampshire captain James Vince, we expect him to bat at number five. As | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
far as the weather, it is dry at the moment, a bit overcast, we expect | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
rain later this afternoon but the fans here keeping their fingers | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
crossed for something like a full-day's play. | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
Thank you very much. Let's hope Captain Cook can fail to those | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
10,000 runs. -- can fail. Don't forget you can listen | :14:43. | :14:49. | |

Joanna. Of course! | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
Let's go back to our main news, the missing EgyptAir passenger plane | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
which was flying from Paris to Cairo. | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
It vanished from the radar screens over the Mediterranean sea. | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
Some reports say it came down 130 miles of the Greek island of | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
Karpathos, we hear that comes from a Greek boat operator who saw a flash | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
in the sky in the area, that is being reported by Greek media. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
Ships, helicopters and planes are heading to that region, the Royal | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
Navy says it has both in the area ready and willing to assist. | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
We can speak now to our Paris Correspondent, | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
Lucy Williamson, who's at Charles de Gaulle Airport. | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
That is where the plane took off from. We also joined by selling the | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
bill in Cairo, the destination which of course was not reached. | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
Tell us the latest about what you are hearing. It is the long and | :15:55. | :16:04. | |
frustrating wait for information. At the EgyptAir desk, families are | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
waiting in a nearby hotel or at the airport. Help has been offered in | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
the Mediterranean to search. Over and above the search and the | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
question of where the plane has gone is the question of if it has indeed | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
crashed, why it did so. There is already a spotlight on the security | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
situation at Charles de Gaulle airport, the procedure the plane | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
went through before it took off. All speculation at the moment before we | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
know exactly what has happened to it. Certainly this is an airport | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
which has received a lot of attention when it comes to security | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
over the past few months. Standing here this morning I have seen | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
several people walking around security, armed people walking | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
around in groups, as is normal. Sadly, what is the latest you have? | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
It is definitely a tragic moment for the families of the passengers. I am | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
here in Cairo airport. Families have been arriving. They were distressed. | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
They were huge pain and grief. I was speaking to an old lady a short | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
while ago, her daughter was a stewardess on the flight. The lady | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
was heartbroken and she was in tears. She spoke to her daughter | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
last night and have heard no more. I woke up to the horrifying news. I | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
came to the airport and have not been given any information. I know | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
nothing. I have just been given a couple of phone numbers. Authorities | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
said they would keep us updated. So far we know nothing. Egyptian | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
authorities are expected. They are expected to hold a press conference | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
in less than three hours from now for that they're going to give some | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
information about what happened. So far, EgyptAir issued a statement | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
dismissing all media reports that have been talking about the reasons | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
behind the disappearance of this plane. It is very early to make any | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
assumptions about why the plane has disappeared. Rescue and search | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
operations are under way. They are trying to do all they can to clarify | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
what has happened. Let's speak to air accident in the | :18:23. | :18:35. | |
eight, Tony Cable. What do they have to go on? Not a lot at the moment. | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
Possibly radar data. -- are accident investigator. They are saying that | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
has suddenly been lost that is where an aircraft response to an | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
interrogation from the ground was if you lose electrical power, certainly | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
electrical power on the aircraft, that would disappear. There is still | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
probably primary radar, the old-fashioned sort, where you send a | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
radar beam out and you detect the Echo. If you had an in-flight | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
break-up, you can on occasion on primary radar, one return becomes a | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
number of returns with different pieces of the aircraft. That could | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
be an indication. What other possible reasons for a plane | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
disappearing at this stage? -- what are the possible reasons? You focus | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
on the technical side, if there was a problem with the mechanics of the | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
plane. Would there be a mechanical issue at this stage which could | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
cause a plane to come down? There is a multiple number of possibilities. | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
Only as evidence comes in will that be clear. I have been fairly -- | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
there have been fairly severe electrical problems on these planes | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
in the past, plus all the radios. They have not been able to | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
communicate. Is that communications? It depends how the loss of the | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
systems are handled. It has not caused any accidents. The problem | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
has been fixed. It has a pretty good safety record, hasn't it? Like all | :20:20. | :20:29. | |
passenger aircraft a very good safety record. The dangerous bit is | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
getting to the airport. How long is the investigation likely to take? Is | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
the most important thing to get the black boxes? Yes. A bit daft to be | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
carrying data, flight data, on the aircraft. If you do lose it, | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
particularly at sea, you have got to recover the wreckage to get the | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
black boxes and get the information. There have been proposals to | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
transmit the data in real-time. Does that not happen? No, it is very | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
primitive. It is quite conservative, the aviation industry in changing | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
things. It takes a lot of doing. An air France plane went down in the | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
Atlantic about five years ago and it took two years to recover to find | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
the boxes. They were quite lucky with the two rain it landed on. Any | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
Marine recovery tends to be prolonged and expensive and | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
difficult. Parts of the Mediterranean are quite deep. I do | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
not know about that area. We were talking earlier that it was around | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
three kilometres deep. Thank you. We will of course keep you updated on | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
all the devell and as we get them. Have you decided how you will be | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
voting in the EU referendum? The first televised debate will be on | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
the 26th of May in Glasgow, presented by Victoria. If you can | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
get to Glasgow from wherever you are ready want to take part, e-mail | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
Victoria to have your chance to question senior politicians from the | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
Leave and Remain campaigns. The debate will be broadcast live. On | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
the 6th of June we are in Manchester for another debate weeks before the | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
actual vote on the 23rd. That is open to everyone take place during | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
normal airtime between 9am and 11am. The way to get in touch is the same. | :22:43. | :22:51. | |
There has been another extremely stark warning that the era of | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
antibiotics will come to an end. It is claimed one person in three will | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
die form a truck resistant infection by 2050 unless action is taken now. | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
David Cameron commissioned the study a couple of years ago to look | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
at the world-wide impact of illnesses like MRSA and TB | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
as treatments like antibiotics become less effective. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
So why do we find ourselves in this position? | :23:22. | :23:34. | |
Let's talk to Professor Laura Piddock, who advised on the report. | :23:35. | :24:46. | |
Yvonne Smith, who lost her father to a superbug infection. | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
Derek Butler, from charity MRSA Action UK. | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
Sharon Brenan, a transplant patient and health journalist. | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
And Professor Paul Cosford from Health from Public Health England. | :24:58. | :25:07. | |
Thank you for joining us. Laura, first of all, you are a professor of | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
microbiology. Explain why the drug resistance is happening. Bacteria | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
evolved to survive all sorts of different hostile environments, and | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
that includes antibiotics. Because bacteria double their numbers so | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
quickly, something like E. Coli in 20 minutes. The numbers of drug | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
resistant bacteria increase very rapidly, including inpatient or in | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
the environment within a few hours. -- in patients or the environment. | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
Where are we now in terms of antibiotic resistant bugs? We're in | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
a situation where anywhere in the world there will be drug resistant | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
bacteria, including multidrug resistant bacteria. The concern is | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
that we, and animals, and our foods are transferring these around the | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
world. When they cause an infection in people they can be very hard to | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
treat. For many infections, it will mean the first, second and third | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
choice drug does not work. For a few patients there may be no drugs that | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
will work. Looking ahead to a possible future without antibiotics, | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
what would that look like? Antibiotics and all areas of | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
medicine. They are really important in the treatment of cancer patients, | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
transplant patients, and those having joint replacements like hips. | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
Potentially, we could see many treatments in those types of | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
patients no longer being effective. But, most of us get infections in | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
our lifetimes. Many times we have all had the past and we will all | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
need them in the future. The real worry is that these types of | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
drug-resistant infections could occur to any other at any time. You | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
rely on take three different types daily. Why are you reliant on them? | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
I was born with cystic fibrosis. Over time it ruins your lungs. | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
Almost three years ago I had a double lung transplant. That means I | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
am constantly immunosuppressed. Because of that my body finds it | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
very hard to fight infections. I need and got it every day to try to | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
reduce the chance of rejection or infection of my transplanted lungs. | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
You must be acutely aware of the dangers of antibiotics, bugs | :27:41. | :27:48. | |
becoming resistant to antibiotics. Many friends have made it through | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
the transplant process, which is very hard, and then died five | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
months, nine months later from chest infections they have not been able | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
to treat. It is devastating. These people are 22, 24 years old. Let's | :28:02. | :28:09. | |
speak to eve on Smith. Possibly the most famous drug-resistant infection | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
is MRSA. Your father died from this infection and your mother almost | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
did. Presumably it has made you aware of the risks of all of this. | :28:20. | :28:28. | |
Yes. Absolutely. You know, my father died because it was like eight years | :28:29. | :28:37. | |
beyond when my mother had the infection. I believe the drug | :28:38. | :28:46. | |
resistance had become too much. His antibiotic treatment did not work. | :28:47. | :28:52. | |
It worked for my mother and she has survived it. But my father was too | :28:53. | :29:03. | |
poorly to survive. Sorry. I just wanted to bring in Laura at that | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
point. What is it that makes the antibiotics work for one person over | :29:08. | :29:13. | |
another? For some antibiotics, we know they were better when patients | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
are fitter will have a better immune response. This is because it is | :29:18. | :29:23. | |
thought that the ads were ticks damage the bacteria, not necessarily | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
killing them, but they become more easily recognised by the immune | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
response. We do not know why some patients respond and others do not | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
when they have an identical infection. We do know those patients | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
who are more vulnerable are more likely to be at risk. Derek, your | :29:41. | :29:47. | |
grandfather, stepfather and uncle all died of MRSA infections and your | :29:48. | :29:54. | |
chair of MRSA Action UK. How worried are you? I am very worried. My own | :29:55. | :30:04. | |
father, 95, survived a very serious E. Coli infection. It shows the | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
power, the success that antibiotics have. It is not about today's | :30:10. | :30:15. | |
generation. It is about tomorrow's generation. Our children and our | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
grandchildren will live in a world if we do not know something about it | :30:21. | :30:23. | |
that my father did when he was a young person. He has explained what | :30:24. | :30:29. | |
the world was like before the use of penicillin in the 1940s. I can | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
assure you it is not a world we would like to live in. Most of us | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
today have lived in an antibiotic era. Get an infection, we go to the | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
doctors and they give us an antibiotic. That may not be a | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
possibility in the future. Do you think we are heading to a future | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
without antibiotics? This is a wake-up call. The report out today | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
suggests there is some significant problems on the horizon if we do not | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
act now. In addition to the things that have been mentioned so far, it | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
is important to remember we camper van many infections. We sometimes | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
forget the basic messages around washing your hands, covering your | :31:09. | :31:14. | |
mouth and nose when you cough and sneeze. Teaching children basic | :31:15. | :31:20. | |
measures. The winter flu vaccine, which this coming winter will be | :31:21. | :31:26. | |
offering all children up to the third year of primary school, very | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
important to stop infection spreading in our communities. We | :31:30. | :31:33. | |
have good evidence as to the effectiveness. Remembering to use | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
antibiotics appropriately. We know for instance that only 10% of sore | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
throats need an advert it but 60% of people with a sore throat going to | :31:43. | :31:48. | |
GPs will get an antibiotic. There are some simple things we can do. | :31:49. | :31:55. | |
What do you think about GPs, in the majority of cases, prescribing and | :31:56. | :31:56. | |
to objects that not needed? There is a significant issue there | :31:57. | :32:06. | |
and it is partly making sure we get the right guidance to GPs... But it | :32:07. | :32:10. | |
is not a new issue, why is it taking so long for the guidance to get | :32:11. | :32:14. | |
through? We monitor continually what is happening and we can see where | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
resistance is developing and alter our guidance accordingly. But there | :32:19. | :32:23. | |
is something for all of us when we have a cough or a cold and a sore | :32:24. | :32:29. | |
throat and we go to the GP, instead of expecting an antibiotic what it | :32:30. | :32:33. | |
is sensible to do is expect an explanation for our symptoms. If we | :32:34. | :32:38. | |
expect an explanation it allows the GP2 not just prescribed because | :32:39. | :32:43. | |
there is that expectation... Where do the expectation come from, is it | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
the patient wanting them or the GP handing them out because it is | :32:48. | :32:51. | |
easiest? There is a complex set of things that happens when a GBC is a | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
patient and they will be lots of those in any circumstance but there | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
is something we can all do, which is to remember to do what we can to | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
prevent infection, to get vaccinated, and to seek an | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
explanation of our symptoms instead of seeking an antibiotic when we go | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
to the GP. Laura, what do you think about the overprescribing of | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
antibiotics and the statistic earlier about the use of antibiotics | :33:17. | :33:23. | |
in farming? It is important to remember many of the infections from | :33:24. | :33:27. | |
the pre-antibiotic era are still treatable today with the drugs we | :33:28. | :33:35. | |
have, including many common sore throats. The reason health care | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
practitioners use a lot of antibiotics if they cannot diagnose | :33:40. | :33:42. | |
when the patient is with them what is causing the sore throat or other | :33:43. | :33:50. | |
infection. 60% of patients get prescriptions from GPs when only 10% | :33:51. | :33:54. | |
needed. The GP cannot distinguish the 10% from the other 50%. May I | :33:55. | :34:03. | |
interrupt? Do come in there, Yvonne. I need to say some important things, | :34:04. | :34:13. | |
really. If you can see me I would like to present a pair of vinyl | :34:14. | :34:23. | |
gloves. Yes, we can see that. The whole issue of antibiotics is | :34:24. | :34:32. | |
absolutely preventable, and it is preventable if you start from the | :34:33. | :34:40. | |
beginning. What happens is that a nurse or doctor sneezes, they put on | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
the vinyl gloves without washing their hands, you cannot touch gloves | :34:45. | :34:53. | |
without using your hands. They haven't washed their hands. There is | :34:54. | :35:00. | |
a very, very simple procedure called scrubbing up which a lot of nurses | :35:01. | :35:05. | |
and doctors don't actually do. Let's get Paul's response on that. Sorry, | :35:06. | :35:11. | |
we will come back to you, Laura." Of course MRSA and can unless in | :35:12. | :35:16. | |
hospitals is an important issue. It is important to remember rates of | :35:17. | :35:20. | |
MRSA have virtually halved over the last ten years, and indeed when I | :35:21. | :35:25. | |
was medical director in the East of England some years ago we managed to | :35:26. | :35:30. | |
reduce our rates of Clostridium difficile by over 90% in a year, and | :35:31. | :35:36. | |
that carried on, so the point Yvonne is making are important and | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
hospitals are working hard to make sure of that. Have those rates come | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
down because of the hygiene issues that Yvonne is talking about? That | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
is part of the answer but we mustn't be complacent and we know that we | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
must continue to observe very carefully and investigate any case | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
of MRSA and seed death very carefully and there are other | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
organisms we are concerned that we are monitoring as well, one that is | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
particularly difficult to pronounce which we are monitoring at the | :36:09. | :36:14. | |
moment and we make sure our hospitals no when they have that and | :36:15. | :36:17. | |
can take all the actions they need it in respect of those. It is a | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
complex system, hospitals are very focused on this but they are complex | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
and difficult to make sure we get right. Laura, you wanted to say | :36:26. | :36:31. | |
something? The first point of the review report today is to increase | :36:32. | :36:38. | |
public awareness across the globe about how important antibiotics are | :36:39. | :36:42. | |
and of the really important part that the public have to play in | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
preventing infection and preventing transmission of drug-resistant | :36:48. | :36:50. | |
bacteria. We are getting focused on MRSA here but the report does not | :36:51. | :36:56. | |
focus on MRSA, it calls attention much more to negative bacteria | :36:57. | :37:00. | |
infections which often people will carry these bugs in their gut | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
without any knowledge that they are there, and it is only when they | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
perhaps need a procedure that then it causes an infection that then | :37:09. | :37:14. | |
requires treatment. On that, a final board from you, Sharon, because it | :37:15. | :37:18. | |
is presumably something you are aware of every day, hoping the | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
people around you are aware of hygiene issues because you are | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
potentially vulnerable? The thing with antibiotic resistance, it is | :37:28. | :37:31. | |
easy to think when you are ill that you need antibiotics, to get back to | :37:32. | :37:34. | |
work, to look after your children, and I think to solve this and raise | :37:35. | :37:38. | |
awareness globally it is about seeing us as a community, | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
antibiotics is a precious communal resource and if we do not treat it | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
like that then the future could be very bleak. Thank you all very much | :37:46. | :37:49. | |
for your thoughts. Let's catch up with the sport. | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
Liverpool's dream of another European trophy and Champions League | :37:56. | :37:57. | |
They were beaten 3-1 by Sevilla in the Europa League final last night. | :37:58. | :38:01. | |
It's the second final they've lost under manager Jurgen | :38:02. | :38:03. | |
Aston Villa are set be taken over by Chinese entrepreneur Dr Tony Xia. | :38:04. | :38:10. | |
He's struck a ?60-million deal with current owner Randy Lerner, | :38:11. | :38:12. | |
which is subject to Football League approval. | :38:13. | :38:14. | |
It would make him the sole owner of the Championship club. | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
Harlequins prop Joe Marler has withdrawn from England's | :38:19. | :38:20. | |
Marler was suspended for kicking an opponent in April. | :38:21. | :38:28. | |
That followed a two-match ban for calling Wales' Samson Lee "Gypsy | :38:29. | :38:30. | |
And history beckons for England captain Alastair Cook ahead of this | :38:31. | :38:38. | |
morning's first Test against Sri Lanka at Headingley. | :38:39. | :38:41. | |
The 31-year-old needs just 36 runs to become the youngest player | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
England lost the toss at Headingley so they have been put into that. | :38:44. | :38:57. | |
Thanks very much, Tim. Some comments just threw on the antibiotics | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
discussion, one tweet, as long as we are giving antibiotics to farmyard | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
animals we will never stop these superbugs. | :39:07. | :39:09. | |
Another has treated, the experts know that antibiotics are given | :39:10. | :39:12. | |
Ronchi to farm animals and nothing is done to stuff it. | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
Graham says, I cannot get antibiotics from the doctor even | :39:16. | :39:18. | |
when I need them, it is a blanket ban. | :39:19. | :39:23. | |
Let's go back to the missing plane. Ships, helicopters and planes are | :39:24. | :39:26. | |
heading for a certain area of the Greek islands. We can look at a | :39:27. | :39:32. | |
video... I'm not sure if we Can take a look at it... I think we can, | :39:33. | :39:39. | |
there you go. It shows their souls converging on what is thought | :39:40. | :39:43. | |
potentially to be that crash zone in the Mediterranean Sea. It is just | :39:44. | :39:48. | |
near to the Greek island of Karpathos. The Egypt air passenger | :39:49. | :39:56. | |
plane from Paris to Cairo was carrying 56 passengers and ten crew, | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
it vanished from radar screens in the early hours of the morning. | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
There are reports that it came down 130 miles off the Greek island of | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
Karpathos. As you can see on these radar images, that is where the | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
vessels are headed, the Royal Navy saying it is in the area and ready | :40:16. | :40:17. | |
to assist. Let's talk now to Captain Mike | :40:18. | :40:20. | |
Vivian, a former head of Flight Operations | :40:21. | :40:22. | |
at the Civil Aviation Authority. We can also go to aviation analyst | :40:23. | :40:34. | |
Sean Massenet. Captain Mike Vivian, what are your | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
thoughts? We have little to go on, just the fact the plane went off the | :40:39. | :40:44. | |
radar at 37,000 feet, not far short of its final destination? That is | :40:45. | :40:50. | |
right, good morning to you. Very unusual, the safest part of the | :40:51. | :40:57. | |
flight is of course at Cruise, high altitude, and it tends to point | :40:58. | :41:00. | |
towards some either catastrophic failure of the aircraft or a | :41:01. | :41:07. | |
security issue involving the aeroplane itself, and I note this | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
aircraft had been traversing the north Africa and continent in the | :41:12. | :41:15. | |
days before this incident so there will be an examination of what went | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
on at Paris Charles de Gaulle, security measures there and all the | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
other issues like the crew, the passengers, and the service history | :41:24. | :41:28. | |
of the aircraft. Elaborate more on what you are thinking when you talk | :41:29. | :41:31. | |
about traversing the African continent in the days before? It is | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
possible, I wouldn't want to cause too much alarm, but it is possible | :41:37. | :41:43. | |
some device was secreted there in some way or another, an extension of | :41:44. | :41:46. | |
what happened at Sharm el-Sheikh with Metrojet. It is a possibility. | :41:47. | :41:54. | |
We also need to look at the security at Paris. I know people are saying | :41:55. | :41:58. | |
security at Paris is obviously beefed up after the incident they | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
have had but it is significant, in my book, that after the Sharm | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
el-Sheikh disaster, I think it was over 80 people who had what is | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
called air side passes, passes to go bare fight onto the tarmac of the | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
aircraft, were withdrawn by the French authorities. That would raise | :42:19. | :42:21. | |
some questions as to why they were there in the first place, but it | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
does tend to suggest the French took action after the Sharm el-Sheikh, as | :42:26. | :42:32. | |
was necessary. So how would you sum up airline airport security, because | :42:33. | :42:38. | |
there are tight controls around passengers, where would you see | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
potential loopholes? The problem in the past has been safety, and that | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
problem, I don't want to be complacent, but by and large it is | :42:50. | :42:52. | |
solved because we have an incredibly safe industry. Last year there were | :42:53. | :42:58. | |
something like 3.3 billion passengers, 36.5 million passengers, | :42:59. | :43:07. | |
a tiny, tiny fraction, about 100 people lost their lives, so the | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
problem is security and it is right to say security is not consistent | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
throughout the world despite international regulations, | :43:19. | :43:19. | |
requirements and audits to check that it is, and there has been | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
concern, which the Sharm el-Sheikh accident raised, of the possibility | :43:25. | :43:30. | |
of an inside job, in other words people who have access to the | :43:31. | :43:34. | |
aircraft or luggage on the ground and are able to do things which none | :43:35. | :43:39. | |
of us would want to be party to. That is the problem in ensuring a | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
uniform level of security. I'm not saying that was the issue here in | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
this accident involving EgyptAir but it is an issue which has once again | :43:49. | :43:53. | |
had the spotlight put on it. Sean Moffat, what are your thoughts? I | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
could not disagree with anything Captain Vivian has said. There are | :43:58. | :44:02. | |
quite a wide variety of possibilities here. We don't know, | :44:03. | :44:08. | |
probably the local militaries know a lot more than we do, there is an | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
awful lot of minatory in that part of the of the world, the Egyptians | :44:13. | :44:15. | |
themselves, the Israelis, the Greeks, the Turks, and we hear the | :44:16. | :44:21. | |
Royal Navy is involved in the search, and also American fleets, so | :44:22. | :44:24. | |
all of those will probably have a rather better idea of what happened | :44:25. | :44:27. | |
here than anybody else, but of course we will not be hearing those | :44:28. | :44:33. | |
ideas from them, I suspect. Mike was saying that the safest time on a | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
plane is when it is cruising at high altitude. It was doing that when it | :44:38. | :44:42. | |
came down. For you, therefore, would it point most likely to some sort of | :44:43. | :44:48. | |
terrorist incident? Well, I suspect that is probably the case but really | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
it is very early to be speculating about this. As you say, the aircraft | :44:54. | :44:59. | |
was at its Cruise, 37,000 feet, Cruise level. It was flying at more | :45:00. | :45:06. | |
than 500 knots, Cruise speed, and then it just disappeared off the | :45:07. | :45:10. | |
kind of radar that you and I can look at on our computer screens. | :45:11. | :45:13. | |
That does not mean to say the aircraft is Sapp has disappeared, | :45:14. | :45:19. | |
because that trace on the radar screens comes from equipment on | :45:20. | :45:22. | |
board the plane -- bag with the aircraft itself has disappeared. The | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
plane has to be sending out the information for that price to | :45:27. | :45:29. | |
appear. It is possible, as has happened in the past, that somebody | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
has turned off that equipment, hijackers have done that in the | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
past, and then the aeroplane effectively disappears. We are not | :45:37. | :45:40. | |
talking about what is generally known as the real radar that fires | :45:41. | :45:44. | |
the signal from the ground or the sea and gets the reflections back of | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
the admin, that probably wasn't available to the controllers, that | :45:49. | :45:51. | |
it might have been available to the military in the area who may have a | :45:52. | :45:54. | |
better idea, but of course, as you have said, we are seeing the ships | :45:55. | :45:57. | |
converging on a particular area. There are reports there was a brief | :45:58. | :46:08. | |
distress signal but now it appears there was not one at all. How easy | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
is it for a pilot if there is a sign of anything to very quickly send an | :46:14. | :46:21. | |
alert? There is an order of priorities as to what to do if you | :46:22. | :46:26. | |
have an emergency. The communication is about third in that. You are told | :46:27. | :46:31. | |
to retain control of the aircraft, which is the most important thing, | :46:32. | :46:36. | |
and then to navigate accordingly, to leave the area you are in and | :46:37. | :46:42. | |
communicate that distress. Whatever it is that is causing you to take | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
the action you are. It is not top priority. Insofar as there is a | :46:48. | :46:54. | |
report about the beacon or distress call, I disagree there was a | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
distress call. If there was a distress signal, it would have come | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
from a beacon or device that was employed when a device impact water | :47:05. | :47:09. | |
or the ground and send off a signal to locate it. It may or may not be | :47:10. | :47:17. | |
the case. I agree that there will be sufficient and extensive radar | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
coverage. When I was flying over this area, you are always under | :47:22. | :47:26. | |
radar cover. It is a very heavily congested area and a very | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
militarised area. People are watching with interest as to what is | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
going on. Yes, definitely, there will be some radar data. As to when | :47:36. | :47:41. | |
the signal disappeared off radar is open to question. It may be the | :47:42. | :47:49. | |
aircraft broke up in the air and came down in pieces or it may be | :47:50. | :47:52. | |
that the radar was lost but it's still descended. Then the signal was | :47:53. | :47:55. | |
lost as it impacted the water, I do not know. We will have to see what | :47:56. | :47:57. | |
they are saying. Last November new guidelines | :47:58. | :48:00. | |
were issued about how the medical profession should deal with women | :48:01. | :48:03. | |
going through the menopause - six months on, the British Menopause | :48:04. | :48:05. | |
Society says it's still not seeing A survey released today shows that | :48:06. | :48:08. | |
half of women will go through the menopause without seeing | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
a single medical professional. Only 3% of women know | :48:13. | :48:14. | |
about the guidelines, published by Nice - | :48:15. | :48:17. | |
the National Institute for Health Many menopausal women will get | :48:18. | :48:19. | |
sleeplessness, hot flushes, night sweats and memory loss | :48:20. | :48:24. | |
and we've heard some women are so desperate | :48:25. | :48:26. | |
to relieve their symptoms, they've even turned | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
to unregulated treatments. In Shrewsbury we've got | :48:30. | :48:39. | |
Julie Chandler who went through a surgical menopause | :48:40. | :48:41. | |
at an early age. And Jayne Harrison's at her home | :48:42. | :48:42. | |
in the Peak District - if you don't mind me saying so, | :48:43. | :48:45. | |
you're currently going You're helping other women on how to | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
deal with symptoms that work. Let's talk in our studio | :48:51. | :49:03. | |
to Dr Heather Currie - she's a gynaecologist and also Chair | :49:04. | :49:06. | |
of The British Menopause Society, The menopause affects women | :49:07. | :49:17. | |
differently. The key underlying process is our ovaries stop working | :49:18. | :49:24. | |
or in some cases are removed. That leads to our bodies becoming low in | :49:25. | :49:29. | |
a very important hormone, oestrogen. While the focus of menopause is on | :49:30. | :49:35. | |
periods stop paying and the expected consequences of that, flashes and | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
sweats, what we want more people to know about is the effects of the | :49:40. | :49:43. | |
lack of oestrogen which often stop with flashes and sweats but other | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
symptoms, as you have mentioned, but also have later health consequences | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
as well, particularly relating to bone and heart health. Only half the | :49:53. | :49:59. | |
women going through it can seek professional help. Can women skate | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
through and not receive any symptoms. A third of women felt they | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
had to put up with it. They did not have a sense of seeking more | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
information. Around that is the lack of understanding of the late effects | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
of being low on oestrogen. So, everyone should seek treatment | :50:20. | :50:26. | |
because of the long-term effects. Everyone should have a better | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
understanding about this process of becoming low on oestrogen and how it | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
can effect them. What they do about it is individual. There are | :50:35. | :50:37. | |
treatments which are very effective but also diet and lifestyle changes | :50:38. | :50:41. | |
are really important. The whole purpose of this campaign is to raise | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
awareness of the importance but also to encourage women just to get more | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
information so that however they choose to manage their menopause, it | :50:50. | :50:53. | |
is an informed choice based on accurate information. I want to talk | :50:54. | :51:00. | |
about those options in a moment. Want to go to Jane because you are | :51:01. | :51:03. | |
50 and you are going through the menopause right now. How is it | :51:04. | :51:09. | |
affecting you? When were you first aware that things were changing for | :51:10. | :51:18. | |
you? I was probably about 47 and I probably did not realise | :51:19. | :51:21. | |
straightaway it was the menopause. There were a number of other changes | :51:22. | :51:25. | |
going on in my life and I thought it was the impact of that. Then, I | :51:26. | :51:34. | |
would be waking up about three o'clock in the morning for about six | :51:35. | :51:38. | |
to 12 months. I had very little sleep and it was impacting on my | :51:39. | :51:42. | |
business and that is when I talked it over with a friend who said, it | :51:43. | :51:48. | |
could be the menopause. I felt quite young internally, so I thought, | :51:49. | :51:53. | |
really? It was at that point I went to the doctor and discuss some of my | :51:54. | :51:56. | |
symptoms. Absolutely it was the menopause. I am in constant contact | :51:57. | :52:03. | |
with my doctor now to ensure that my medication is correct. So I am not | :52:04. | :52:09. | |
on HRT currently but we might get to that stage eventually. You are | :52:10. | :52:16. | |
managing it, are you? Ayew at a stage where the symptoms not impact | :52:17. | :52:25. | |
on you? -- are you at? I have made some changes to my lifestyle. I am | :52:26. | :52:31. | |
out exercising a lot more. I have also changed my diet. I have gone | :52:32. | :52:37. | |
from vegetarian too full of Egan. It has a high oestrogen content in | :52:38. | :52:48. | |
soya. -- vegetarian to the Egan. What they do not tell you about is | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
the impact it will have on your identity. Going from somebody who | :52:54. | :52:57. | |
was really energetic and working 60 hours a week, being able to | :52:58. | :53:02. | |
articulate really well in front of clients, to becoming some quite | :53:03. | :53:10. | |
quiet, introverted, very low mood, and not being able to string a | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
sentence together sometimes as well. Those have a significant impact if | :53:16. | :53:18. | |
you work at a particular level in business. Those sorts of things were | :53:19. | :53:24. | |
not discussed actually with the doctor, interestingly. You are just | :53:25. | :53:30. | |
43 but you went through the menopause very early because you had | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
your ovaries removed. That meant overnight US hit with the menopause. | :53:35. | :53:41. | |
How did that impact on you? That was really hard. I had my ovaries | :53:42. | :53:46. | |
removed when I was 39. Menopause was a long way from my thoughts at that | :53:47. | :53:51. | |
time. Even though I had been told to expect to go through the menopause, | :53:52. | :53:54. | |
I do not feel I was prepared for the impact. When your hormones tail off | :53:55. | :54:01. | |
generally because of getting older and approaching the menopause | :54:02. | :54:04. | |
naturally, for me, one day everything was fine. The next day I | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
had no oestrogen of my own and the symptoms hit me incredibly hard. The | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
hardest part was the night sweats, the way it affected my sleep. I was | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
literally tossing and turning the entire night tried to find a cold | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
patch on my pillow to cool down my face. I was on fire, I felt like I | :54:24. | :54:29. | |
was on fire. The husband put a ceiling fan in the bedroom to try to | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
help but it did not touch the symptoms. They did not want to give | :54:34. | :54:39. | |
me HRT. I asked for it having tried so many other over-the-counter | :54:40. | :54:43. | |
natural remedies. Nothing did anything for me. Despite spending a | :54:44. | :54:51. | |
fortune I was getting nowhere. The lack of sleep was affecting me at | :54:52. | :54:53. | |
work and at home, my concentration. In the end I said, if you do not | :54:54. | :54:56. | |
give me something, I will crash the car because I cannot function. Did | :54:57. | :55:06. | |
you get something? I was referred to a genetic counsellor because of my | :55:07. | :55:15. | |
risk of breast and the varying cancer -- ovarian cancer. The letter | :55:16. | :55:18. | |
was written saying I was going to be having a double mastectomy. Although | :55:19. | :55:23. | |
HRT is associated with a slight increased risk of breast cancer, I | :55:24. | :55:31. | |
was doing the ultimate thing to drastically reduce my risk of breast | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
cancer. The very small increase for just a few months before I had the | :55:36. | :55:39. | |
other surgery, by having HRT, was fine for them it was perfectly | :55:40. | :55:43. | |
acceptable. Within a couple of days of having HRT I was normal again. | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
Life could resume and it was fantastic. That is good. I know you | :55:48. | :55:56. | |
are concerned about unregulated treatments. What is the issue there? | :55:57. | :56:03. | |
Women are not expecting symptoms. If they want to seek treatments, there | :56:04. | :56:12. | |
is a perception that HRT is risky. Many women have put off going to the | :56:13. | :56:16. | |
doctor because they think all that will happen is they are prescribed | :56:17. | :56:22. | |
HRT. As we have said, there is lots more around managing menopause and | :56:23. | :56:26. | |
diet and lifestyle are hugely important. Hormone replacement | :56:27. | :56:29. | |
therapy is the most effective treatment. For the majority of women | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
it has more risks and more benefits. What there has been increasing | :56:35. | :56:37. | |
interest in is looking at some unregulated therapies. These are bio | :56:38. | :56:45. | |
identical therapies, products obtained from some pharmacies where | :56:46. | :56:49. | |
there is not the same standardisation and regulation of | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
the contents of the products. Is it supposed to be a more natural | :56:55. | :57:01. | |
version of HRT? The point of HRT is to give back oestrogen. The | :57:02. | :57:04. | |
consequences for the effects and impact on social and work life that | :57:05. | :57:09. | |
the lack of oestrogen can have, we have heard about. The whole point of | :57:10. | :57:13. | |
HRT is to give back oestrogen. We can do that in very natural low-dose | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
preparations aiming to mimic the oestrogen we used to produce. For | :57:19. | :57:23. | |
some, that is still seen as a drug is still seen as being associated | :57:24. | :57:29. | |
with risk. These preparations are also using similar types of | :57:30. | :57:33. | |
oestrogen but not in a regulated way. To take the treatments that are | :57:34. | :57:39. | |
very natural and safe and mimic our own hormones, we can do that in | :57:40. | :57:43. | |
prescribed ways without going to unregulated sources. Soya milk and | :57:44. | :57:50. | |
of Egan diet, that was mentioned there. -- a vegan diet. This is all | :57:51. | :57:59. | |
useful stuff. Not smoking and cutting down alcohol, it can all | :58:00. | :58:05. | |
help in managing the early symptoms getting confidence and self-esteem | :58:06. | :58:08. | |
back and it can help later health problems. Thank you very much. | :58:09. | :58:16. | |
The missing EgyptAir plane will be discussed. I will be back tomorrow. | :58:17. | :58:27. | |
Have a good afternoon. | :58:28. | :58:30. |
