The future of social care in England. Ministers set out plans | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
this lunchtime. Loans will be on offer to those in | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
residential homes, but there's no conclusion on reforming the funding | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
of the system. The white paper I'm publishing today represents the | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
greatest transformation of the system since 1948. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
The future of social care in England is being set out by the | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Health Secretary this lunchtime. The Government's plans include | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
offering elderly people Government- backed loans, so that the sale of | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
their homes can be delayed until after their death. But it's not yet | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
clear how this proposal will be funded or how the social care | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
system as a whole will be paid for in the long term. Here's our social | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
:01:55. | :01:57. | ||
affairs correspondent, Alison Holt. For 61 years Geoffrey and Barbara | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Bostock have been married, bringing up a family, building a home | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
together. But Alzheimer's has now robbed Barbara of those memories. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
One of the hardest tasks I have to do is getting her undressed at | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
night and into her nightie and into bed. She sees me as a dirty old man, | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
and not her husband of 61 years. Today's white paper promises to | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
make it easier for people like the Bostocks to get information about | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
what help might be available. As things are, they feel completely | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
let down. They are giving us the absolute minimum. When we die, they | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
are going to take 40% in inheritance tax. It is just not | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
fair. The Social Care Bill includes plans for deferred loans with | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
interest that will allow people to pay care home bills without selling | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
their house until later. It expands an existing scheme. If a person | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
moves areas, their care plan will move with them. And the postcode | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
lottery which means you get different support in different | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
places will be tackled. The white paper I'm publishing today | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
represents the greatest transformation of the system since | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
1948. The practical effect will be to give service users their carers | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
and their families more peace of mind. Services will be organised | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
around each individual's care and support needs, their goals and | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
aspirations. With no answers on the money, this white paper fails the | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
credibility test. It is half a plan. The proposals he has set out today | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
are in danger of appearing meaningless and may in fact raise | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
false hopes amongst older people, their carers and families. Missing | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
from the plans here at the Department of Health is any clear | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
decision on how this under-pressure overstretched system will be funded | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
in future. That's been pushed out until the Treasury sets out the | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
next Comprehensive Spending Review. The Government says it agrees in | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
principle with the cap on how much someone should have to pay for care, | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
but there is dismay among many that the tough decisions on funding | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
haven't been made. We face serious challenges today with local | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
authorities being cash strapped, restricting access to social care. | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
Many older and disabled people are not get the support they need now. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
The update to the care system in England will be carefully watched | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
elsewhere in the UK, but the pressure to sort out how it is paid | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
for will only increase. With me is Ros Altmann. She's an | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
economist and the director-general of Saga. What difference do you | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
think the plans that have been announced this lunchtime are going | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
to make to pensioners in England? To be honest, there isn't going to | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
be an awful lot of difference at the moment. We've got some plans. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
We've got some proposals, but we don't actually know how these are | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
going to be implemented, when they are going to be implemented and how | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
they are going to be funded. The Government has also released what | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
it call as progress report on finding the funding for these | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
reforms. It is actually a lack of progress report I'm afraid. We | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
don't still know what's going to happen and how we are going to make | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
people's lives better. You heard the Government's argument, that | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
commitment is there to reform social care, but at the moment they | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
don't know how much money they've got until they see what's happening | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
in other departments. Well, this is one of the big issues here. We have | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
a society where we've got lots more older people who need looking after. | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Now, it is great news that we've got more older people but we can't | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
as a civilised society say, "I'm sorry, we don't have any money, so | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
we are not going to look after you." The reality is that if we | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
don't spend a little more money on social care now - birden will fall | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
on the NHS. That will fall over. Everybody else will lose, so the | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
Government doesn't have a choice between whether or not to spend | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
more money. It has to spend some more money. It is not like we have | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
no money at all. We can spend money on all sorts of things. This is a | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
question of Government priorities. You are an economist. How would you | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
fund social care? Who should pay for it in the long run? We have to | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
have a fair partnership between the individuals and their families and | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
the state. At the moment, the system means that anybody who has | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
done some saving or who has a little bit of money put aside ends | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
up getting no help at all from the state, unless they qualify for NHS | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
care. Those who did no saving get everything paid. What we need is a | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
system where the individual and their families pay something. | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
Perhaps pay quite a lot towards their care, but up to a maximum. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
And they are allowed to protect some of their savings. And then the | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
state comes in after that. That would be a fairer system. People | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
could then put some money aside, they could prepare for it. They | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
would know what the limit is of how much they would need to spend, and | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
the family could club together and do that. But we don't have that | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
kind of system at the moment. We just have this stark unfairness | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
where if you have saved you pay everything and lose all your life- | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
savings, and if you haven't saved you get everything picked up. That | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
is not a sustainable way forward with so many older people. | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Altmann, thank you investment The Liberal Democrats are warning | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
there will be "consequences" if David Cameron can't push through | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
plans to reform the House of Lords. The Prime Minister suffered his | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
biggest Commons rebellion last night, forcing him to abandon a | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
timetable for legislation. The issue was raised at Prime | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
Minister's Questions. Mr Cameron finds himself in an invidious | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
position, caught between his coalition partners and many of his | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
own backbenchers, with Nick Clegg this morning insisting a deal is a | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
deal and he expects Mr Cameron to deliver on reform. And Mr Clegg's | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
deputy, Simon Hughes, warning of consequences if Mr Cameron does not | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
deliver. At the same time Mr Cameron's backbenchers, many of | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
them replain implacably opposed to Are greater than last Clearly | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
passions are running high, with the Prime Minister apparently involved | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
in a spat last night with one of the leading rebels, Jesse Norman, | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
which Downing Street insist it's not involve angry exchanges, but at | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
which witnesses say there was a lot of finger pointing. It was seized | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
on this morning. Last night he lost control of his party and not for | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
the first time he lost his temper as well. Because we understand it | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
was fisticuffs in the lobby with the Member for Hereford and South | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
Hertfordshire. I notice the posh boys have ordered him off the | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
estate today. He doesn't seem to be here. Mr Cameron dismissed the | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
argy-bargy as tittle-tattle and half-baked got ip. Downing Street | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
says it has been blown out of all proportion. The Prime Minister | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
urged Ed Miliband to support reform,. If we want to see House of | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Lords reform, all of those who support House of Lords reform need | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
to not only vote for House of Lords reform but support the means to | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
bring that reform about. He came to the House of Commons yesterday | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
determined to vote yes and then vote no. How utterly pathetic! | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
What's interesting, and I think what we've gained from that comment | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
by the Prime Minister and what we are hearing from Downing Street is | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
that the focus of Number Ten's efforts seem to be in trying to win | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
over the Labour Party rather than trying to convince the concept ibs | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
in their own party. The trouble is that the moment the Labour Party | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
are notted in mood to play ball. Thank you. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
So Spain now. Thousands of people have lined the streets to support | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
coal miners who've been marching for three weeks to a mass protest | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
in Madrid about the austerity cuts. The Spanish Government is putting | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
VAT up by 3% to 21%. And there'll be further cuts to public spending | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
too. The miners fear cutting subsidies will cost them their jobs. | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
Let's join our correspondent Tom Burridge. | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
On a day when the Spanish Prime Minister announced yet more cuts to | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
the public sector here in Spain and controversially an increase in the | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
level of VAT paid by everyone, miners turned out in the capital | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
and took over one of the main Avenues to protest against | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
Government cuts. Hundreds of miners with thousands | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
capital. They are angry about to Spain's mining sector. This is a | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
reaction to Government cuts not only in the mining sector, as the | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Government here taxes more and spends less to try and bring this | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
country out of its crisis. These people believe that's not the | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
answer to Spain's problems., and some of the miners have travelled a | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
long way to bring their message to the capital. Many of them walked | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
along Spain's motorways. It was a three-week journey from their | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
mining towns in the far north of Spain. In those towns in recent | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
weeks, mine verse fought running battles with the police. The | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
miners' weapons are fire crackers. At times they have resembled a | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
rebel Army in a war in which neither the miners nor the | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
Government looks like stepping down. The head of Spain's Government | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
today was announcing yet more cuts to public spending, as well as a | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
rise in Spain's rate of VAT. TRANSLATION: One has to be | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
realistic. The way to build Europe has never been easy. We have agreed | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
on a strategy. We have agreed that it is the time. But we are seeing | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
and we will see in the future tensions, difficult unanimous votes, | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
declaration which is are out of place, and many troubles. But at | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
least we have already decided where we want to go, and that we want to | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
do it as soon as possible. As the Government reduces its | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
spending, the discontent here rises, but Spain will soon receive | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
billions of eurozone money for its troubled banks. Madrid is also | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
under pressure from abroad. Spain's banks will receive about 30 billion | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
euros worth of eurozone money by the end of this month, Sian. That's | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
why Madrid is under so much pressure to rein in its spending | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
and gets its budget deficit in order. We've had reports of clashes | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
between the police and demonstrators at that demonstration. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
It seems the situation there is escalating. Tom, thank you. | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
At least 20 people are reported to have been killed in a suicide | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
bombing in Yemen. Dozens more are said to have been wounded in the | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
attack. It happened on a police academy in the capital, Sana'a. | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
Police there say it bore all the hallmarks of an Al-Qaeda attack. | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
A father accused of killing his 17- year-old daughter because he | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
believed she had brought shame on his family cryed in court today and | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
denied her murder. Iftikhar Ahmed sobbed in the witness box as he | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
gave evidence. He said he would never hurt his daughter Shafilea | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
and described her as very talented, bubbly and talkative. | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
Judith more sits at Chester Crown Court. | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
Shangs you will remember that's the prosecution's case here that | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed suffocated their daughter, Shafilea, | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
with their bear hands with a plastic bag in 2003 while their | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
other children watched. Both parents denied murder and this | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
morning Iftikhar gave his account of events. He began to cry as he | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
was asked whether he had been responsible for the death of his | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
daughter, Shafilea. No, he said. And he was asked, do you know who | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
was responsible for Shafilea's death? No, he said again. And then | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
they talked that he and his defence barrister Tom Bayliss QC about the | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
effect the allegations had had on the family, that was Shafilea's | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
parents, Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed had been responsible for murder. He | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
said there had been constant finger pointing and it had been difficult | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
for the family. Then he talked about the trial itself. He was | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
asked how have things been for you. He said, it has made us come closer | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
together, because we've been fighting together as a family. | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
Because we've been fighting to achieve justice for Shafilea, he | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
said, we want to know what happened to her. That has always been the | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
case from day one. The QC asked: Do you think you will ever find out | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
what happened to Shafilea? Iftikhar paused and said, we were hoping to | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
but I don't think we ever will. We are expecting Iftikhar this | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
afternoon to continue giving evidence here at Chester Crown | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
Court. Both he and his wife Farzana Ahmed deny murdering Shafilea in | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
:15:32. | :15:34. | ||
The England footballer, John Terry is continuing his evidence against | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
the accusation he racially abused another player, Anton Ferdinand | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
during a match last year. John Terry said he was keen to speak to | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
police about the alleged abuse because he said there was nothing | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
out there that would prove he did anything wrong. Our sports | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
Correspondent joins us from Westminster magistrates court. | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
have heard John Terry admits he did use the word black, along with | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
other expletives to Anton Ferdinand. But he argues he was repeating what | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
Ferdinand accused him of saying. The prosecution maintains John | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
Terry would have reacted very differently the way he did if that | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
was the case. We have also heard from Ashley Cole. A man used to | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
dealing with crosses, but now facing cross-examination, John | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
Terry arrived for a second day of questioning about whether he had | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
racially abused an opponent. It was during this match at Loftus Road in | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
October, the Chelsea captain the admitted using the word, a black | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
together with obscenities in a heated exchange with Anton | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
Ferdinand. John Terry believes he had been accused of racist abuse by | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
Ferdinand and responded by sarcastically repeating the words. | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
It was argued John Terry was reacting angrily to taunts about an | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
alleged affair with the palm of former team-mate -- team-mate, | :17:06. | :17:16. | |
:17:16. | :17:17. | ||
Wayne Bridge. For the prosecution, John Terry, remaining calm denied | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
it was the case, saying: Why would this incident tip me over the edge | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
when I have had it a million times before. He was accused of elaborate | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
flannel to cover up what he had done once he became aware that | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
footage of the alleged incident had been broadcast and dividing -- | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
devising a statement he issued denying any wrongdoing following | :17:43. | :17:53. | |
:17:53. | :17:57. | ||
the match. Terry denied that was His Chelsea colleague, Ashley Cole | :17:57. | :18:02. | |

called as a defence witness telling the court he had heard Ferdinand | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
using the word black. I can tell you, Ashley Cole also | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
said while giving evidence, he believe this trial shouldn't have | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
been brought to court. He said "I think we shouldn't be sitting here. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
If I repeated something I thought you said it would be different than | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
if someone had just said something". He was backing John Perry -- John | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
Terry's version of events. John Terry denies the charge and the | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
case continues at 2pm. Our top story this lunchtime: | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
Paying the cost of social care - ministers say cheap loans will be | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
on offer to those in residential homes, but questions remain about | :18:52. | :19:02. | |
:19:02. | :19:04. | ||
how they'll be funded. I am at Stonehenge when you plans are being | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
unveiled to bring some serenity to the stones. | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Later on BBC London: The pools, parks and sports halls closed this | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
summer because they're being used as training venues for the Olympics. | :19:16. | :19:26. | |
:19:26. | :19:31. | ||
And shimmying and shaking for London 2012. | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Dairy farmers are warning that hundreds of them could go out of | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
business because of cuts in the price they're paid for their milk. | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
Three of the UK's biggest processing companies are cutting | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
the price they pay to farmers by up to two pence a litre. Today | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
thousands of milk producers are protesting in London calling for | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
the cuts to be reversed. Our Correspondent Ed Thomas is at a | :19:49. | :19:59. | |
:19:59. | :20:00. | ||
farm in Congleton in Cheshire. We have around 180 cows here who | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
produce around 4,000 litres of milk every day. The milk produced here | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
it is sent to milk processors who sell it on to the supermarkets. But | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
speak to the farmers here and elsewhere and they will tell you it | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
is them being squeezed and it is a squeeze that is putting the | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
industry at risk. It is a simple rule of business. | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
Sell at a higher price than what it costs to make. But for dairy | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
farmers, those numbers are not adding up. This family have been | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
farming for over 70 years. The falling price of milk could put an | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
end to his business. We have had to soak them up for too long and it | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
cannot continue. Farmers are frustrated and angry. Farmers are | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
heartbroken. Absolutely heartbroken and they don't know where to turn. | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
The problem is the price of milk along the supply chain. We pay | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
around 52p for a litre of milk at the supermarket. It cost farmers | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
around 30p to produce it. But some dairies will soon only pay those | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
farmers around 25p a litre. Today, farmers will protest outside | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
Westminster. They want the Government to end the stand-off | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
over prices between the farmers and the dairies. I have been pressing | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
both sides of the industry very hard to develop a voluntary code of | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
practice about what should be in the contract between the milk | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
producer and a process that. They have not got to that stage and I am | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
disappointed. But I am pushing both sides hard. There is also the | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
question of the big supermarkets. A price cut on the shells means price | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
cuts for the dairy processors, the people who pay the farmers. But one | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
of the big chains, Morrison's today said it is ready to talk. We are | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
talking to farmers and processors to come up with long-term solutions, | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
to help even out the volatility in the price of milk. That is the way | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
forward for the long-term viable dairy industry in Britain. Farmers | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
want to talk and quickly, because many say they have reached crisis | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
point. The big worry here and elsewhere is | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
this two pence per litre Court, which is being planned for August. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
Farmers are in Westminster to say they want it to be stopped. And | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
then they want to talk about some sort of stabilisation of prices to | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
:22:45. | :22:47. | ||
protect their industry. A jury has convicted a 26-year-old | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
woman of murdering a teenage girl. Hannah Bonser stabbed to death 13- | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
year-old, Casey Kearney in a Doncaster park, allegedly to get | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
admitted to hospital. Let's speak to our correspondent Danny Savage | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
who's at Sheffield Crown Court. What happened in court? | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
The jury took just over two hours to convict hammer on such of murder. | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
It was a shocking crime. It happened in February half-term when | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
Casey Kearney, a 13-year-old from Doncaster was walking through a | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
park at Doncaster town centre on Valentine's Day on her way to a | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
friends for a sleep over. Walking in the opposite direction was 26- | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
year-old Hannah. They were strangers and had never met. And | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
without any exchange of wire -- words, Anna turned round and stab | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
Casey in the abdomen. She collapsed immediately, managed to dial 999 | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
but died later that day. Throughout this trial, much was made of her | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
mental health states. She has a long history of being treated for | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
mental health problems. She has had a period in a psychiatric hospital. | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
She described herself in the weeks before as a psychopath. But the | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
jury decided she could not hide behind those mental health problems | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
and convicted her of murder at Sheffield Crown Court today. We are | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
expecting to hear from Casey's family, and had no answer will be | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
sentenced at 2pm this afternoon. The UK is to double the amount of | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
money it gives to fund family planning services in the developing | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
world. Aid will go up from �90 to �180 million over the next eight | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
years. Let's speak to our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh. How big | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
is the problem at the moment? is a huge issue for women and | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
adolescent girls in developing countries. One in 10 adolescent | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
girls is married by the age of 15. Figures are startling. 220 million | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
or William girls without access to contraception and there is a summit | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
in London which is trying to raise awareness and raise this issue. The | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
UK is taking the lead on this and is doubling the amount it spends. | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
It reckons it will provide another 24 million William -- women with | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
contraception access by 2020 and prevent 40,000 or more deaths from | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
botched abortions and Medical complications and prevent 20 | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
million unintended pregnancies in the next eight years. Be it is not | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
just about money is it, it is about education? Absolutely. It is | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
education. The longer women spend in school, the later they are | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
likely to have children and get married and have children's. And | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
the more likely they will be lifted out of poverty. It is about women's | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
empowerment. We have a global population above 7 billion. It is | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
about enabling women and families to have the children they want | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
rather than a succession of unplanned and unintended | :26:01. | :26:11. | |
:26:11. | :26:14. | ||
pregnancies. Chris Moyles is to leave the Radio | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
1 breakfast show at the end of September. He's been presenting the | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
show since 2004 and is the longest- serving breakfast presenter in the | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
station's history. He's being replaced by Nick Grimshaw, who | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
currently hosts the weekday show from ten until midnight. | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
Work begins today on a new visitor centre at Stonehenge - one of the | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
UK's most popular tourist attractions. At the moment visitors | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
can park nearby and walk to the site. But the new plan would see a | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
nearby road closed completely and a new centre built a mile and a half | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
away, which will tell the story of the stone circle. Louise Hubball is | :26:42. | :26:52. | |
:26:52. | :26:52. | ||
there. More than a million visitors come here every year. It is a World | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
Heritage Site. But the criticism is, the facilities are far from world | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
class. It is one of the world's most | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
instantly recognisable landmarks. For over 5,000 years, the mystery | :27:06. | :27:14. | |
of this circle has drawn visitors in. But for tourists today, their | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
experience begins here. Straight off a busy road and into basic | :27:18. | :27:28. | |
:27:28. | :27:29. | ||
facilities. And once you are at the site... The busy road slices | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
straight through what was the ancient ceremonial route up to the | :27:33. | :27:40. | |
stones. I was very surprised to cross the road. People do need | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
access to the site. But I think the road noise is detrimental to the | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
experience of it. It has been here for a long time. Why does it take | :27:51. | :27:57. | |
as long as 30 or 40 years to do something about it? English | :27:57. | :28:03. | |
Heritage is unveiling plans to turn back time. To close the road to | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
traffic and returned the monument to a more serene landscape. But the | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
question is, why has it taken so long? Change was promised in the 19 | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
80s when Stonehenge became a World Heritage site. The commitment was | :28:19. | :28:26. | |
made by the Government's to improve the presentation and the setting of | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
Stonehenge. Yes, it has taken a long time, but we have finally got | :28:31. | :28:37. | |
there. With these fans -- plans, visitors for generations to come | :28:37. | :28:43. | |
can enjoy a mystical atmosphere without so many passing cars. | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
Work will begin here shortly and it is expected to be completed by the | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
summer of 2014. English Heritage are hoping any disruption will be | :28:52. | :29:02. | |
:29:02. | :29:08. | ||
outweighed by the future benefits. Showers are not too far away. This | :29:08. | :29:14. | |
picture was taken on the Isle of Wight. There is a shower in the | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
distance looking back towards Portsmouth. The Met Office had just | :29:18. | :29:21. | |
issued an Amber warning with torrential downpours along the | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
south coast in the next couple of hours. There is the risk of | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
localised flooding. On the radar picture, the cluster of | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
thunderstorms developing and it will be with us for the next few | :29:32. | :29:39. | |
hours. We have a thicker cloud and rain across north-east England. In | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
between the showers this afternoon or with a bit of brightness we can | :29:44. | :29:50. | |
manage 17, 18. Showers to come across parts of the Midlands and | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
south-east England but it is turning drier through the night. | :29:53. | :29:57. | |
Cloud to the north-east of Scotland but first thing tomorrow morning, a | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
window of dry weather for many parts of the country. At 8:00am | :30:02. | :30:05. | |
tomorrow, Sunshine across parts of the south-east corner. Although it | :30:06. | :30:11. | |
will be on the chilly side. Well broken cloud across parts of the | :30:11. | :30:16. | |
Midlands and northern England. But as we move to the north-east coast | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
it is looking more Ngorongoro Crater with patchy and light rain. | :30:20. | :30:26. | |
In Scotland, better chance of seeing breaks in the cloud and | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
giving dryness in the morning. A cloudy start across Northern | :30:30. | :30:36. | |
Ireland. In Wales we have the Sunshine at 8 am, but it is a | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
cloudy start across Devon and rain for Cornwall. This band of rain | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
will push north and east as we go through the day arriving across | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
parts of South Wales and Trust -- stretching through the south coast | :30:48. | :30:54. | |
in the afternoons. Thicker cloud to the north-east of Scotland. But in | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
between these two areas, it should be dry with Sunshine. By the time | :30:58. | :31:03. | |
we get to Friday, the weather system pushing north and with the | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
ground saturated, we are keeping an eye on this because there is | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
potential for localised flooding. To the north it is looking dry and | :31:12. | :31:17. | |
bright in Scotland. It stays on the cool side for the weekend. | :31:18. | :31:21. | |
Widespread showers across England and Wales which could be heavy on | :31:21. | :31:26. |
