soldier who was killed in an attack in Woolwich yesterday. According to | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
BBC sources, one of the suspects is Michael Adebolajo, seen here on the | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
right. He was brought up in a devout Christian family before converting | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
to Islam. Tributes are left at the army barracks in Woolwich as David | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
Cameron says the UK will not have in to terrorism. We will defeat violent | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
extremism by standing together, by backing our police and security | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
services and above all by challenging the poisonous narrative | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
of extremism on which this violence feeds. Properties in London and | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Lincolnshire are searched as police tried to determine a motive for the | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
killing. I will be reporting live from Woolwich with the very latest | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
on the police investigation here and on the Prime Minister's visit to | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
Woolwich this lunchtime. The other news this lunchtime. The man accused | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
of murdering April Jones tells the court he can't remember where he put | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
her body. The decline in the number of | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
district nurses is causing unnecessary suffering, says nursing | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
leaders. The growing number of children being abused by other | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
children. Charities warn of the risks of online pornography. Later | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
on BBC London we will be live in Southeast London as the Prime | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Minister and the Mayor visit the scene of yesterday's terror attack. | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
:01:49. | :02:05. | ||
We will have reaction from the local the BBC News at One. It has been | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
confirmed that the man killed in the ferocious attack in Woolwich in | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Southeast London yesterday was a serving soldier. He has not been | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
named because members of his family are still being informed. The | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
soldier was hit by a car and then hacked to death by two men carrying | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
knives and meat cleaver is. Senior Whitehall firm -- sources have | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
confirmed that both suspects were known to the security services. They | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
remain under armed guard in hospital. The BBC understands that | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
one of them is Michael Adebolajo. This morning officers raided an | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
address in Greenwich and a property in Lincolnshire has also been | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
searched. In the last hour, the Prime Minister said the attack had | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
sickened us all at that the nation would remain resolute. Muslim groups | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
have strongly condemned the murder. Ben Brown is in Woolwich for us. | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
It is almost 24 hours in that road just down there behind me beyond the | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
police cordoned a young British soldier was hacked to death by two | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
suspected Islamic extremists. The police investigation continues. | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
There have been raids this morning. There is a very meticulous forensic | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
investigation down there at the scene. The Prime Minister is here in | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Woolwich this lunchtime. He has been meeting community leaders, religious | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
leaders, the local MP at the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. This | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
report from our home affairs correspondent, Tom Symonds. | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
The shock has turned to sorrow. A procession of well-wishers bearing | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
flowers have started arriving at the scene of the murders. Flowers at the | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
huge Woolwich Barracks near here. A massive police operation is centred | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
on the town. This morning officers were searching the ground, inch by | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
inch, trying to reconstruct the minutes of madness that left a | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
British soldier dead on a British street. Trying to work out why these | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
men acted as they did. Earlier the government's COBRA emergency | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
committee met and the government confirmed the suspects were known to | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
the security services. The Prime Minister said yesterday's events | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
were not just an attack on us, but a betrayal of Islam. The people who | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
did this were trying to divide us. They should know something like this | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
will only bring us together and make us stronger. Today, our thoughts are | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
with the victim and with his family. They are grieving for their loved | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
one and we have lost a brave soldier. The London Mayor, Boris | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Johnson, arrived in the Woolwich midmorning. He spent time discussing | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
the incident with senior police officers. He has described what | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
happened here is sickening and unforgivable. The police operation | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
is fast-moving. It appears to be focusing on family members of the | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
attackers. This flat in Greenwich was raided early this morning. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Neighbours said three unidentified women and a teenager were taken | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
away. In this area there is real anger at the murders. Last night, | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Woolwich was tense. Members of the English Defence League briefly | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
tussled with police. The town centre was flooded with officers. That | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
continues. Across London we have an extra 1200 officers on duty on -- | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
and they are being highly visible to reassure people that leave -- life | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
carries on as usual. My appeal is for calm. The identity of the dead | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
soldier is expected to be revealed shortly. The MOD is still contacting | :05:35. | :05:44. | |
members of his family. Well-wishers have described him as a fallen hero. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
The Prime Minister David Cameron has been here Woolwich this lunchtime. | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
He has just been at the town hall meeting community leaders. We have | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
seen his motorcade and we gather he has gone to work -- Woolwich | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
Barracks in the last few minutes as well. He will also be talking to the | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
police in command here. Let's talk to our political correspondent in | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Downing Street. Those remarks from the Prime Minister very much at | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
pains to try to ease any community tensions that may have arisen as a | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
result of this murder? Very much so. The Prime Minister here was | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
essentially trying to deliver a keep calm and carry on message. In his | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
statement here he said that the people who carried out this attack | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
wanted to try to divide the country, but he believed it would only unite | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
people. He is in Woolwich this afternoon and community cohesion is | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
very important. He's essentially trying to ensure, along with many | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
other leaders, that what the people behind this attack partly wanted to | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
make happen which was to turn communities against each other, the | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Prime Minister is there to try to ensure it does not happen. The BBC | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
now understands the suspects in this attack were known to MI5, the | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
Security service. Their names did feature over recent years in various | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
investigations. One was intercepted by the police trying to leave the | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
country last year. The Prime Minister nodded at that. He said | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
there would be proper scrutiny and proper questions but clearly the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
investigation needs to take place. The criminal investigation. There | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
are significant questions about MI5, the Security service and the | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
inevitable could this have been prevented? Thank you very much | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
indeed. Woolwich very much a community in shock after what | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
happened here on that road down there beyond the police cordoned | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
yesterday. This is an area that is very much intertwined with the | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
military. The barracks here, Woolwich Barracks, has been here for | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
hundreds of years. Let's go to our correspondent Sangita Myska at the | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
barracks. People have been coming all-day and laying flowers in | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
tribute to the soldier who died here yesterday afternoon? Yes indeed. As | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
you say, the barracks have a long 300 year history, a connection with | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
this area. Plenty of local people coming here, deeply shocked by what | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
happened yesterday. You can see some of the floral tributes that have | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
been arriving. We still don't know the name of the soldier but plenty | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
of the cards associated with these flowers are calling him a fallen | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
hero. Let me read you a couple of the messages which sum up the | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
atmosphere here today. One card reads, you were innocently taken, | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
wrong, wrong, wrong. Another, much respect to a true hero savagely | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
taken on our streets. Finally, an empty bed in the barracks tonight | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
and son is gone. We love you, our unknown soldier. Earlier, I spoke to | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
somebody who had been an army cadet here and had visited these barracks | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
many times when she was a teenager. She broke down in tears telling me | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
she was still in contact with soldiers who were on the inside and | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
that people were feeling deeply moved, but from what she understood | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
soldiers still kick -- keen to wear their uniforms outside. We are | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
expecting the Prime Minister to arrive here shortly. Now back to | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
you. Thank you very much indeed. Woolwich very much the scene of | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
intense police activity still this afternoon. The friends investigation | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
continuing at the scene of the murder -- forensic investigation. At | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
least two separate police raids, one in Lincolnshire, one in Greenwich, | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
where people were taken away in a police van. Now back to the studio. | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Ben Brown with the picture in Woolwich. Security at the military | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
barracks across London has been tightened. The two attackers are | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
under armed guard in hospital as the security services try to establish | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
whether they were working alone or as part of a terrorist network. More | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
details about that from our security correspondent, Frank Gardner. | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
The slow, painstaking search for clues and evidence is under way at | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
the scene of the attack in Woolwich. It has now emerged that the suspects | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
were known to the Security service for their radical views but it is | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
not thought they were under surveillance. This morning in | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Whitehall, key political security and intelligence figures arrived for | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
a meeting with the Government's emergency committee called COBRA. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
The Prime Minister chaired it. Boris Johnson was among those attending. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
It is completely wrong to blame this killing on the religion of Islam but | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
it is also equally wrong to try to draw any link between this murder | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
and British foreign policy or the actions of British forces who are | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
risking their lives abroad for the sake of -- for the sake of freedom. | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
This is where one of the suspects has been taken, the Royal London | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Hospital in Whitechapel. He will likely be questioned when he | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
recovers from being shot by the police yesterday. The lines of | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
enquiry being followed up by investigators include worthy acting | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
alone? Who did they meet and where did they travel to? As the people of | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Woolwich still come to terms with what has happened on their streets, | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
one former British radical says the attackers understood the propaganda | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
value of their message. Where we have failed us in popularising | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
counter narratives to this ideology that completely disconnect somebody | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
who quite clearly is speaking in a London accent and is willing to kill | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
his own fellow citizens, probably for a country he has never visited, | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
whether it is Iraq or Afghanistan and he has more affinity to citizens | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
:11:38. | :11:39. | ||
and a third countries on his own citizens. This is both a murder | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
enquiry and counterterrorism investigation. It may take days, | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
even weeks, to find all the ad -- answers. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
So many questions, there will be talk about the fact the suspects | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
were known to some degree but that is also a key element, they have to | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
establish whether they were working as part of a larger group? Yes. As I | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
said, this is both a murder enquiry, very much fled by the | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
police, and a full-scale counterterrorism investigation, also | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
being led what is -- led by what is called SO15. They are very much | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
assisted in this by MI5, the security service. It has taken 24 | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
hours for it to emerge partly from David Cameron's clips that it turns | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
out that these were not exactly clean skins, these men were subject | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
to a security service investigation. They probably at some stage may have | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
been under surveillance in the past but I don't think they were under | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
surveillance at the time. If they were, whoever was doing the job | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
needs to be sacked because they did what they did. The indications I am | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
getting from people in Whitehall as there is no indication that they | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
were on the verge of doing something violent. That is always the problem. | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
There might be hundreds of people that they are aware of who are | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
individuals of concern, backpack -- perhaps because they have radical | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
views, but you can't tell when somebody is going to flip over and | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
those angry views are going to translate into violence. Many | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
thanks, Frank Gardner. This morning, Scotland Yard issued a | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
statement about the amount of time it took to -- took police to respond | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
to yesterday's incident after concern was expressed by number of | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
members of the public that it appeared to take a long time for | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
officers to reach the scene. One MP has said he wants to raise the issue | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
with the Home Office, saying it would be worrying if there had been | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
an unwarranted delay. Let's get more from our home affairs correspondent, | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
Matt Prodger. What has the Met said in response to these elements of | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
criticism? The Met has fed within 14 minutes of the first 999 call being | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
made to police they had firearms officers on the scene and that was | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
ten minutes, within ten minutes, of them actually being told there was a | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
gun at the scene, that one of the attackers had a gun. My sources tell | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
me that is within the parameters with which the Metropolitan Police | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
consider it to be acceptable. The unofficial aim is to have 80% of | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
such cases dealt with within 12 minutes, in other words an 80% of | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
cases firearms officers arrive on the scene within 12 minutes of being | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
deployed. In this case it was ten minutes. There are at least three | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
armed response vehicles on each side of any time but there is usually | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
more. Most of the time there is more than a total of six covering the | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
capital. Usually their location is intelligence led, for example by | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
Trident, the gang crime command who would give them any kind of | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
intelligence as to where they might be needed. A lot of the time that | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
would not include a location such as Woolwich. Woolwich would not be high | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
on their radar. With regards to the activities of uniformed officers on | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
the scene, the information, the instructions they would have got | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
would have been that as soon as it was clear that one of the attackers | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
had a gun they would have been told not to approach the attackers. | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
Prodger, there will be much more on this is story throughout the | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
:15:18. | :15:24. | ||
murdering April Jones has told Mold Crown Court he can't remember where | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
he left her body. Mark Bridger insisted he hadn't killed April, but | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
had caused her death by accidentally running over her in his Land Rover. | :15:32. | :15:42. | |
He denies the charges against him. They have been several heated | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
exchanges in the court this morning, as Mark Bridger's claimed that he | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
simply couldn't remember what he did with April Jones's body was tested | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
over and over again. The prosecution claimed he is a man prepared to lie | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
and say anything in order to save himself, rather than to help find | :15:59. | :16:08. | |
April. Scouring the countryside surrounding Machynlleth, the search | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
for April Jones became the largest in UK police history. It lasted for | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
nearly seven months. The man accused of April's murder says he has no | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
recollection of what he did with her body, after he says he accidentally | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
ran her over. In court, Mark Bridger became animated as he was quizzed | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
about his memory of that night and how he could remember some studies | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
that smacks specific details but not others. He answered, I have a dead | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
child that I killed in my car. How does that affect anyone? I had pins | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
and needles, I felt sick with fright and beer. This little girl had died. | :16:47. | :16:54. | |
Was dead in my car. In the public gallery, April's parents listened | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
intently as Mark Bridger was asked to explain the difference between | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
lies and fabrication. He was asked about his memory of taking April to | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
his cottage and what happened there. He accepted that he may have wiped | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
away blood in the bathroom and the hallway. But he refuted that they | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
had been a massive clean-up, any attempt to conceal traces of April. | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
The morning after April went missing, Mark Bridger was picked out | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
by the police helicopter. He told others he knew nothing about her | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
disappearance. Today he accepted that had been a lie. Though he says | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
because he wanted to find April. Mark Bridger was also challenged | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
over the fragments of bone found in his fireplace. He told the court he | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
used to use it to cook meals, he'd cooked a whole chicken and even a | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
squirrel in there. He said there was no way to prove that the fragments | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
were of a human person. He denies abduction, murder, concealing and | :17:52. | :18:02. | |
:18:02. | :18:03. | ||
trying to destroy traces of April's body. Our top story. According to | :18:03. | :18:08. | |

throwing millions of tonnes of ash into the atmosphere and bringing air | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
transport across Europe to a halt. Now scientists in Iceland are | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
working on a way of predicting the next big eruption. Our correspondent | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
has been down into the heart of a dormant volcano to find out how they | :19:07. | :19:15. | |
are doing it. Plunging deep into a volcano. Just a few cables holding | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
us. It's a tight squeeze at the top but then the underground vault opens | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
to reveal a mass of colour forged by huge explosive forces. This is | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
Iceland's volcanic laboratory. 5000 years ago, and eruption carved out | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
this chamber. It is here in the heart of the volcano that scientists | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
can better understand what is happening at the source. But in | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
order to better predict eruptions, they need to head up to the surface. | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
Up above, the future team is heading out on the road. It's a group of | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
scientists with an arsenal of volcanic sensors at their disposal. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Their aim dash to give us all more warning the next time a volcano | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
stirs. Today they are putting the finishing touches to a new gas | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
monitor, one of a host of new sensors which will look for | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
tell-tale signs of magma intruding through the ground beneath. The | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
nerve centre of the operation is the Icelandic meteorological office in | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
Reykjavik. There they scour the data coming from the monitoring network | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
24 hours a day. Volcanoes actually scream, I'm about to erupt, before | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
they dropped. They show many measurable signs. It's the challenge | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
for today's volcanologists to gather that information and make use of it | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
in real-time. That is what FutureVolc is about. Of course, not | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
of this would have happened without this, the 2010 eruption of | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
Eyjafjallajokull, which closed down much of European air sprays and left | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
travellers stranded around the world. Researchers say the new | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
science being done above and below could prove vital next time around. | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
We need to understand how magma is slowing inside the volcano prior to | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
eruption. How this magma will come out. We want to better quantify it | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
so we can have better advice on where to fly safely will stop What | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
is certain is that threat from Iceland volcanic systems is not | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
going anywhere. Here, it's never a question of if the top will blow, | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
:21:30. | :21:30. | ||
just when. A growing number of children are being sexually abused | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
by other children. Figures obtained by the NSPCC say more than 5000 | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
children were reported to the police in England and Wales as an abuser in | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
the last three years. Almost all of them were boys. Charities believe | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
the problem is increasing, partly because access to online pornography | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
is becoming easier. You may find some of this report distressing. | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
This woman says her nine year-macro daughter was sexually abused by a | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
boy of the same age. Her words are spoken by an actor to protect her | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
child's identity. He aggressively rubbed himself up against her, | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
getting very excited and telling her what he wanted to do to her in very | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
graphic language. He had his hand around her neck. According to | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
Freedom of information figures obtained by the NSPCC, more than | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
5000 offences under 18 is committing child abuse were reported to police | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
over the last three years. In some cases the perpetrator was as young | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
as five, and almost all of them were boys. More than half of the offences | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
were classified as serious, including rape. The NSPCC and the | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
Lucy Faithfull Foundation, which works on preventing child abuse, | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
believe indecent images online warping young people stuff edition | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
of normal behaviour. Certainly for some particularly vulnerable and | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
young people, they are developing really problematic behaviours and | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
thinking that has informed their own sexually abusive behaviour towards | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
other children, as a result of their viewing of online hard-core | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
pornography. The four main Internet providers have told the government | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
they plan to put safety filter is in place by the end of the year. But | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
computer experts say children are easily able to get around them. | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
There's also a wider issue of awareness. A recent government | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
report on young sexual offenders concluded that police, teachers and | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
social workers often missed warning signs in children who might sexually | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
abuse. There are these warning signs out there that we do need to be | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
better educated about. I have some sympathy to the idea that around a | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
vulnerable children, we should be putting more resources into | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
educating their carers and making sure they are aware of the risks out | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
there. Campaigners say this growing problem can't be solved by just | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
blocking Internet sites. They believe it's more about education, | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
and schools and parents talking about the potential threats, that | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
could lead children to committing sex crimes. Global stock markets | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
have fallen sharply today. There was a 7% drop in Japanese shares and the | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
London stock market opened lower this morning. One reason is the of a | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
slow-down in China. But it comes after several weeks of strong gains | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
in share prices. Hugh Pym can explain a little more about why this | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
is happening. Stock markets have been roaring ahead in recent weeks. | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
There was maybe a sense this morning, is the party over? Party on | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
the back of suggestions in the US last night that the Federal reserve, | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
the central bank, might ease back of its support for the economy. | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
Earlier, weaker growth figures from the Chinese economy, which has been | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
the world's engine in recent times. Let's look at how those markets | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
might have been doing. So far today, the latest data we have from the | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
markets, I can tell you that the London stock market was down about | :25:01. | :25:10. | |
2% earlier today. The McKay, the main index in Tokyo, was down 7%. | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
Other markets following in continental Europe as well, | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
including Germany. Despite those falls, even after that, London is | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
still up 14% over the year to date. The Tokyo market is still 40% higher | :25:26. | :25:36. | |
:25:36. | :25:41. | ||
than it was at the beginning of this year. That's the context of it. | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
decade ago there were nearly 13,000 district nurses in England. Last | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
year there were fewer than 7500. The Royal College of Nursing says the | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
lack of NHS nurses who look after people in their homes is causing | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
unnecessary suffering to patients and putting undue pressure on other | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
parts of the health service. NHS England says the decline in numbers | :26:02. | :26:11. | |
has been counted by an increase in other community staff. Meet one of | :26:11. | :26:19. | |
the women who are friends in need of... For more than a century and a | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
half, district nurses have been supporting people in their own | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
homes, keeping them out of hospital. These highly qualified staff play a | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
leading role in NHS community teams. At a time of great pressure on | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
hospital accident and emergency units, the Royal College of Nursing | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
says district nurses are needed now more than ever. But their numbers | :26:38. | :26:47. | |
are falling. Official figures indicate a decade ago there were | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
nearly 13,000 NHS district nurses in England. Last year, 7500, that's a | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
fall of more than 40%. With this huge reduction in the numbers of | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
district nurses, whilst at the same time the massive growth in the | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
population and more and more people with convex conditions, I have to | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
say, unfortunately, we really are failing people who deserve so much | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
more. NHS England insists when you count other type of community staff | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
such as school nurses and health visitors, the overall figure has | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
increased. In the past when the NHS has faced spending squeeze as now, | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
hospitals needs have always come first. But the Royal College of | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
Nursing say future, the needs of community services should be given | :27:32. | :27:42. | |

British summer. You might be thinking of barbecues, but think | :27:53. | :28:02. | |
again. We have a cold northerly wind today. That has brings does not been | :28:02. | :28:09. | |
bringing showers nationwide. Some snow in Scotland. There is a | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
developing area of low pressure. Tonight and tomorrow, that will | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
bring both wet and windy conditions to much of the country, particularly | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
focusing on eastern England. For the rest of the day the showers will | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
come thick and fast on that cold northerly wind. Temperatures are | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
down. It feels chilly outside. Not a great deal of sunshine. Still a bit | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
of snow in the showers across the high ground of Scotland this | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
afternoon. Conditions here will be atrocious. Hill walkers might want | :28:38. | :28:48. | |
:28:48. | :28:57. | ||
to think again. For Northern Ireland and south-west England, here, there | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
will be relatively few showers. Overnight, the area of low pressure | :29:00. | :29:07. | |
is going to deepen. That will bring outbreaks of rain overnight across | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
eastern counties of England. The wins will really begin to howl. Gale | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
force gusts, potentially reaching 50 to 60 mph towards the east coast of | :29:16. | :29:24. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. There will be a lot of cloud and outbreaks | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
of rain continuing into the afternoon, making it feel really | :29:27. | :29:34. | |
cold. A bit drier and brighter and warmer to the north and west of the | :29:34. | :29:38. | |
country. Conditions will be very challenging for the golfers at the | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
PGA golf, with cloud, rain and strong winds for Friday. An | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
improvement as we go on into this weekend, as indeed there will be for | :29:45. | :29:50. | |
most parts of the country. Saturday looks like being a decent day. High | :29:50. | :29:58. | |
pressure starts building. Sunday, we will keep the Sunni theme going. | :29:58. | :30:08. | |
Temperatures beginning to rise. Further west, Sunday is probably the | :30:08. | :30:15. | |
better of the two days, with sunny spells forecast. On Monday, Bank | :30:15. | :30:25. | |

Holiday, it turns cloudy with lunchtime. It has been confirmed | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
that it was a serving British soldier who was killed yesterday in | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
south-east London. According to BBC sources, one of the suspects is | :30:39. | :30:43. | |
Michael added a larger, seen here on the right. Tributes have been left | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
