The report on the Liverpool Care Pathway says doctors used it as an | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
excuse for poor quality care, and that it was a tick box exercise. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Also, the deaths of two soldiers in the Brecon Beacons. It's thought | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
they were training for the SAS. A cap on the amount of money people | :00:34. | :00:36. | |

controversial end of life regime as an excuse for poor quality care, | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
that's according to an independent review which was published today. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
The Liverpool Care Pathway, it recommended that in some cases | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
medical teams withdrew treatment, food and water from sedated patient | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
in the final days. Doctor said it could offer people a peaceful, | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
pain-free death. The review suggested the care plan was offered | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
-- and incorrectly and Ltd and is now being axed. Giving patients a | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
peaceful and dignified death is one of the most important thing is the | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
NHS can do. But the review heard heartbreaking stories. Guidelines | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
designed to make people 's final I was more comfortable were | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
misunderstood, leaving patients thirsty and families distressed. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
Tony Kinsella's sister was put on the Liverpool Care Pathway. The lead | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
up to her death was difficult. days she was panting for breath, she | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
was dying. Cracked lips, swollen tongue. Non-that looks to be in any | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
way peaceful or dignified. Liverpool Care Pathway is an | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
alternative to endless treatment. It starts by recognising that a patient | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
is dying. This leads to a fundamental review of treatment, | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
looking after all their needs. They may possibly have medicine, food and | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
fluids withdrawn. But families are supposed to be consulted. Today's | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
were you found these guidelines became just a tick box exercise in | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
some hospitals. They thought was OK for junior doctors particularly to | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
put people on the Liverpool Care Pathway in the middle of the night, | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
at weekends, on bank holidays, with no senior people involved. I think | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
the communications tended to be really awful. The government agrees | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
a different and more personal approach is now needed to reassure | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
patients and families. The Liverpool Care Pathway will be phased out over | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
the next year. What lessons do you think have been learnt from the | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
Liverpool Care Pathway example? think what happened is something | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
which was very well-intentioned wasn't understood properly by staff | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
in all cases. Communication was not always very good. And therefore it | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
became tainted. That is why we got this action that the government has | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
had to take, whether Liverpool Care Pathway is being phased out. From | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
now one, families who felt that things have gone wrong will be | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
entitled to an independent assessment. And senior doctors will | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
have to sign off these decisions, so we don't see problems with bad | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
decisions being made out of hours. What was very striking about the | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
review team and what they said was they heard many things which | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
resonated with the stories of poor care, patients being left thirsty, | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
which resonated with what happened at the Mid Staffs NHS trust and all | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
the horrors of the failings there. Again, this is part of the drive to | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
improve care, particularly for elderly people. It is at the core of | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
what hospitals should be doing. servicemen who died during a | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
military training exercise on the hottest day of the year are | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
understood to have been taking part in a selection process for the | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
territorial SAS. The BBC believes the men, who happened been named, | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
were in the early stages of final sex -- vinyl selection when I | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
collapsed in training in the Brecon Beacons. The ministry of defence is | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
investigating their deaths. A third servicemen remains in a serious | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
condition in hospital. These photographs capture the moment a | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
helicopter came to the aid of the soldiers who collapsed on a training | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
exercise on one of the hottest days of the year. Two of them died and | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
another is seriously ill in hospital. The remote and rugged | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
landscape of the Brecon Beacons is where the British Army's long tested | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
soldiers skilled and entrance to the limit. This is also where the | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
gruelling selection process begins for those who want to join the elite | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
SAS, for both regular and reservist units. The pass rate is around just | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
:05:39. | :05:39. | ||
10%. We are going...Though the Ministry of defence never comments | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
on special forces, in the 1980s the BBC did film soldiers going through | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
the selection process for the regular SAS. Those -- slightly less | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
demanding, the territorial SAS units follow similar tests of long marches | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
and orientate -- orienteering to weed out the rest. Quite | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
surprisingly, it's open to civilians with no military experience, as well | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
as those in the reserves. On Saturday, it's believed that a group | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
of under 100 were taking part in a similar exercise when six of them | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
collapsed in the heat. Yellow if this was soldiers undergoing SAS | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
selection, then the chances are they'd have probably been working | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
independently as individuals and moving as individuals, rather than | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
as a team. When that happens, it's much more difficult to detect the | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
symptoms of heat illness. This isn't the first time that soldiers have | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
done training exercises on the Brecon Beacons. The extreme cold in | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
the winter has also claimed lives. But this latest tragedy will raise | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
questions about supervision and safety during one of the British | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
military's toughest tests. underlying principle is always that | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
you need, for the most demanding operations, the most demanding | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
training. That clearly can't be risk-free. But it may be, and we | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
will have two wait for the inquiry, which may not be published for | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
obvious reasons, but the army will have to consider at the end of it | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
whether or not things should have been done differently in this case. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
The solitude and beauty of this landscape of -- is always made it | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
popular. But this weather, combined with the extreme challenges, are a | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
reminder of the dangers. Let's go to the Brecon Beacons now and talk to | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
our Wales correspondent. It's a very beautiful area but it also has very | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
difficult to rain. What were conditions like at the weekend? | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
Saturday was the warmest day of the year. Although the Brecon Beacons | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
form an open and inviting landscape for many walkers, there is very | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
little shelter here from the sun. We understand that this party was | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
walking through into the afternoon. In the mid-afternoon, temperatures | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
reached 30 Celsius. They would have been carrying very heavy packs, | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
backpacks with about �80 worth of equipment. And walking for several | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
hours for many miles, often up steep ridges. It is an orientation TASS, | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
so they are often working alone, finding their way from a to B, often | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
against the clock. The military are continuing to investigate this | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
alongside Dyfed-Powys Police. They will want to ensure that all the | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
proper protocols were followed. One of the key ones is to make sure that | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
anyone who ventures out on these mountains on a military expedition | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
has with them enough water. You would expect them to have at least | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
three litres of water, and also some form of raising an alarm if things | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
were to go wrong. That investigation continues. And a third servicemen | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
continues to be seriously ill in hospital. Welfare cap limiting | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
households to �26,000 a in benefit payments is being introduced by | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
local authorities across Britain from today. The government says the | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
measure will encourage people back to work. But campaigners fear it | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
doesn't take into account the high cost of housing in some areas. And | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
it will hit large families particularly hard. Set up to provide | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
a safety net, the government thinks the benefits system for some has | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
become a trap. It's a trap, ministers say, that is unfair to | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
those out of work, because there's little incentive to hunt for a job, | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
and an fate of those in work you have to pay for it. So, across | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
England, Scotland and Wales, there will now be a benefits cap, so no | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
household gets more in benefits than a working family. Under the cap, | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
families are limited to �500 a week and payments, individuals to �350 a | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
week. Amongst the benefits affected our jobseeker's allowance, housing | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
and child benefits. But those on disability allowance and working tax | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
credit are exempt. The cap is very clear. It's literally saying that | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
people on welfare you are not in work, apart from the exemptions such | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
as those who are disabled, they should actually not be earning more | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
than average earnings netted out after tax, which is fair to | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
taxpayers who are themselves often struggling on marginal and average | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
earnings. So how has this gone down with people in Manchester? I think | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
people get too much on benefits will start I think to cap it is right. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
think it's probably right to introduce a cab but I think it's a | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
bit low. I'd be happy with 350 quid a week, I be able to live like a | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
king. The politics is brutally simple. Overall, benefits cuts are | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
popular. It's why some Tories and some voters would like ministers to | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
go further. It's why Labour is toughening up its own message. | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
think the benefit cup is a good idea in principle. It's a shame today's | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
cap has proved such a shambles in practice. We've learned today that | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
there are 4000 families, about 10%, with big numbers of children who | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
won't come under this cap when it is introduced. Critics add that it | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
doesn't tackle underlying issues, such as the difficulty of finding | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
work or the big regional differences in the cost of living. But for | :11:08. | :11:16. | |
ministers, this is an idea that can save money and be popular. Let's | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
speak to Norman Smith at Westminster. You are hearing about | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
the politics of this. How much of this changes -- change is financial | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
and how much political? Yes, it is absolutely about raw party | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
politics. Why? Because benefit reform is hugely popular. A poll for | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
the DWP today suggests that some 74% of voters backed the cap. Of those | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
opposed, a third were opposed because they didn't think it was | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
tough enough. So the government are using the fact Labour voted against | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
the measure in the Commons to try and pin them into a corner, as the | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
claimant friend, on the side of scroungers. Iain Duncan Smith | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
repeatedly referred to Labour in interviews today as welfare party. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
It is such an obvious, gargantuan political elephant trap that the | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
most short-sighted of labour adviser could easily see it coming. So | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
Labour are now trying to re-present themselves as the true party of | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
welfare reform. They say they have come forward with their own proposal | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
for a cap on overall welfare spending over the lifetime of the | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
parliament. And you just sends in a climate of austerity, when there is | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
perhaps less public sympathy for claimants, the beginning of a | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
bidding war between the parties, to see who can sound tougher, more | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
serious about welfare reform. third of Britain is effectively | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
off-limits for low income working families because private rents are | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
too high, that's according to a report. The resolution foundation, | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
which campaigns on behalf of low to middle income families, says nearly | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
half of the UK has rent which is more expensive than mortgage | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
repayments. Anyone trying to find a decent place of their own, | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
especially in or around London, knows how difficult house-hunting | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
has become, with mortgages and social housing often unavailable, | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
private renting is the only option for many. Where I live it is �800 | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
for just a flat. We are spending up to 50% of what we take a one rent. | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
think I'm spending more than half of what I earn on rent. The report | :13:24. | :13:34. | |
:13:34. | :13:34. | ||
suggests great swathes of southern England are now beyond the reach of | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
low income working households looking for a modest but affordable | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
home. Affordable is defined as housing costs of no more than 35% of | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
disposable income. A modest home is one where the rent is below 75% of | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
similar properties in an area. spreading beyond London and the | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
south-east to other parts of the country. You can find affordability | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
blackspots in almost all parts of the country. BBC online help -- sink | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
to later launched today also identifies how renting a modest | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
two-bedroom home for less than �700 a month is almost impossible in | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
London and much of the south-east. The government is committed to | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
building more affordable homes and has launched help to buy schemes in | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
England. However, there is concern that additional demand generated by | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
government backed loans will push up house prices still further. Is there | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
an answer, a solution to this affordability problem? It's building | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
more houses. Everyone would agree with that. Ministers are saying that | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
they question some of the figures in the resolution foundation report, | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
but they don't question the problem. Yes, there is a huge issue of an | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
affordability for many people trying to move to London or the | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
south-east. For some, even the whole of southern England. The government | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
says they are doing what they can, building more homes, particularly | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
trying to encourage the building of affordable homes. They've also got | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
schemes for first-time buyers in particular, so they can get on the | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
housing ladder with a government loan. At the housing minister told | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
me just now that he's not going to be able to bring down house prices | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
in the short-term, certainly not in this Parliament. His critics are | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
saying that some of those government measures, particularly loans to try | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
and help people get on the housing ladder to buy a place, are actually | :15:13. | :15:23. | |

found snow in their playground this relentless growth of the Chinese | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
economy. But figures today confirmed that growth is slowing. In the last | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
three months, the economy grew by 7.5%, but that's down from 7.7% in | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
the previous quarter. Just a few years ago, the economy grew by more | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
than 10%, mainly down to exports. By last year, export growth had slumped | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
to just 5%, a huge drop on previous years. Our correspondent Jon | :16:40. | :16:50. | |
:16:50. | :16:52. | ||
Sudworth sent this report from This is China's economy as you do | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
not normally see it. Almost every shop on this street is closed. The | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
once booming town now empty and despondent. Space for rent, the sign | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
says. Just up the road, Longshan, one of China's biggest shipyards was | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
opened a decade ago. It is now in deep trouble and is appealing for | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
government help. A few restaurants remain open to cater for those who | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
still have jobs. 20,000 people have been laid off over the past two | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
years. We all know that Longshan lacks money, this worker says. If | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
the government can help it would be a good thing. | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
But this town is already proof of the limits of China's old model of | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
growth based on massive, ever expanding investment. This empty | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
hotel stands as a stark testimony to the results. Huge overcapacity not | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
just in shipbuilding but other industries as well. So, future | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
prosperity, this government 's so-called China dream, depends on | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
rebalancing the economy to one based on consumer spending. It is highly | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
risky because, to do so, policymakers known in the short term | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
they actually need to slow down growth, it is part of the plan. | :18:17. | :18:22. | |

are also perhaps the first glimmer of the pain that some of that | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
slowing growth may cause. Until now, China has depended on | :18:59. | :19:04. | |

A woman has died trying to raise money by swimming the English | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Channel. Susan Taylor died in Boulogne on Sunday, after getting | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
into difficulty during her swim. She was doing the 21-mile endurance test | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
to raise money for Rainbow's Hospice in Loughborough, Leicestershire. Ms | :19:28. | :19:31. | |

He starts his journey in the began and since its beginning in | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
1928, Ismailia has been a power base for the group. Until last year, it | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
could rely on its local support. But with the election of one of its own | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
to the presidency, resident Morsi, things changed. Tucked away in a | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
poor neighbourhood is the Muslim Brotherhood's first headquarters, a | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
mosque founded decades ago with the aim of combining political Islam | :23:04. | :23:12. | |
with charity. This has been the mainstay of the group. Generating | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
strong grassroots support. These young members are carrying bags of | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
basic food supplies on their way to poor families during the Muslim | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
fasting month of Ramadan. TRANSLATION: The group has been | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
doing a lot of charity work for many years, they do it for God, not | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
themselves. If charity was all it needed to remain popular, it would | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
be safe. But, clearly, it was not. Evidence of actual support for the | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
Muslim Brotherhood here is hard to spot. We have been travelling around | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
the city today and have hardly seen any posters supporting the ousted | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
president or his group. Next to me is anti-Muslim Brotherhood graffiti | :23:58. | :24:08. | |
sprayed across the wall of the main government building in the city. | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
Ismailia joined last month the wave of massive demonstrations nationwide | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
against the rule of President Morsi. The people were angry with what they | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
saw as presidential power grabbing and the failure of Morsi to help the | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
economy. If you want to find another major reason why the Muslim | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
Brotherhood lacks support, go to the nearest market. It is the price of | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
food that people care about. Since the removal of former President | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
Morsi, prices of basic commodities have soared, and people are angry. | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
TRANSLATION: If you bought a packet of butter and found it expired, you | :24:56. | :25:03. | |
would throw it away. We elected Morsi. His year in office was | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
negative. That's why Egyptians revolted against him. | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
After one day in what was once a Muslim Brotherhood heartland, what | :25:13. | :25:16. | |

rain, a glacial lake about the town burst and the force of the water | :27:10. | :27:17. | |
ravished everything in its way. This used to be the road leading to the | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
village. It is now cut off beyond this point. When the flash floods | :27:23. | :27:28. | |

boulders, devastating towns in their path and killing thousands of | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
people. Many are still trying to go beyond these treacherous mountains, | :27:37. | :27:44. | |

Here's Chris Fawkes. There is no end in sight to the | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
current hot spell. Temperatures in London will probably creep up to 32 | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
Celsius over the next few days which compares favourably with these | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
locations around the world. If you have friends and family visiting | :28:40. | :28:46. | |
these locations, you do have the bragging rights this summer. High | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
pressure is keeping these impressive temperatures across England and | :28:48. | :28:54. | |
Wales. Weak weather fronts are bringing some cloud into the North | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
West of Scotland and Northern Ireland which will keep things cool | :28:57. | :29:04. | |
and fresher here in the afternoon. Patchy cloud also affecting the | :29:04. | :29:10. | |
Irish Sea coast. Inland across England and Wales, clear, blue skies | :29:10. | :29:16. | |
ten pitches around the south-east of England up to 31 Celsius this | :29:16. | :29:22. | |
afternoon. Over Northern Ireland, sunny spells, but thicker cloud in | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
the north and west of Scotland bringing light rain and drizzle | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
particularly to the Hebrides. For the women's football the matches | :29:31. | :29:37. | |
continue in Sweden. It should stay dry for England as they take on | :29:37. | :29:43. | |
Russia. Overnight, after such a hot day, temperatures will be slow to | :29:43. | :29:49. | |
fall away. Around ten, temperatures will still be in the 20s across the | :29:49. | :29:56. | |
Midlands, perhaps 27 in the centre of London, quite uncomfortable. With | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
clear skies, temperatures will gradually fall away through the rest | :30:00. | :30:07. | |
of the night. A few spots of rain perhaps creeping in across Wales and | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
south-west England. Tomorrow morning, another fine looking day. | :30:12. | :30:18. | |
Plenty more sunshine. Another hot one. Temperatures may be a degree up | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
on today. Up to 32 Celsius which would potentially make it the | :30:23. | :30:28. | |
