the boss of Pfizer defends the US firm's proposed takeover of the | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Ian Read fended off tough criticism but couldn't guarantee that | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
the ?63 billion takeover would not result in British job losses. | :00:15. | :00:28. | |
We will be efficient by some reduction in jobs that I cannot tell | :00:29. | :00:30. | |

and welcome to the BBC News At One. Executives from the American drugs | :01:11. | :01:32. | |
firm Pfizer have faced a grilling by MPs over their planned takeover of | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
the British-based firm AstraZeneca. The chief executive Ian Read said | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
the ?63 billion takeover would strengthen the UK's scientific base, | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
but couldn't guarantee it would not Our industry correspondent | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
John Moylan reports. It would be the biggest ever | :01:44. | :02:02. | |
take-over of a British company by a foreign business, but Pfizer's ?63 | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
billion plan to buy AstraZeneca has worried unions, politicians, and | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
scientific community. So Pfizer's chief executive Ian Read arrived at | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Westminster knowing he would face a grilling of the likely impact of | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
this huge deal on the strategically important pharmaceuticals sector. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Drug companies spend billions on research and development but MPs | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
wanted to know how much of the ?12 billion currently spent by the firms | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
would remain. It is not the percentage of sales spent on | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
research it is how productive it is. I do not expect that the combined | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
total will remain the same. I expect it will be lower. How much lower? At | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
this stage, I cannot give a figure on that. There was no clarity either | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
on jobs. Pfizer has cut 60,000 in takeovers over recent years but how | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
many would go in Britain? Two previous sizeable increases in | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
company size have meant a sizeable reduction each time in the number of | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
jobs. That is the major area of cutting, is it? I am not sitting | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
here saying we can be more efficient without reduction in jobs. We will | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
be efficient by some reduction in jobs. What I cannot tell you is how | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
much and how many and where. The boss says the company has made a | :03:22. | :03:35. | |
series of commitments linked to this there is a five-year commitment to | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
UK research. Pfizer will also guarantee some jobs in laboratories | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
at the quayside of Macclesfield. And he says his promises are legally | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
binding. But one of the country's leading scientists said the promises | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
of Aix and with too many caveats. I don't think that is strong enough. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Research is a long-term business. I have researched for 40 years of my | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
life and I know five years is not a long enough often to be committed | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
to. They need to look at a 10-year horizon at least if they are going | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
to make an important impact on this area. AstraZeneca employs 2000 staff | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
at this site in Macclesfield in the North West of England. Pfizer's boss | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
told the committee that the firm would keep a presence here but they | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
are not convinced. I don't feel reassured. What does substantial | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
mean? We asked Ian Read and he said we would know it when we see it but | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
that is not good enough. AstraZeneca has so far rejected Pfizer's | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
advances. They told MPs that the take-over was a distraction and the | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
firm could go it alone. We actually think we are successful. We think we | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
can continue implementing our strategy and go it alone. And | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
there's potential merger would create a certain worry for me. The | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Government insists Pfizer's commitments would have to be | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
meaningful and binding but that might not satisfy critics. This | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
highly controversial plan still has a long way to run. Our chief | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
political correspondent Norman Smith is in Westminster. It got quite | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
heated at times. Did MPs get the guarantees they wanted? I think the | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
blunt answer is no. There was one telling moment at the end of the | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
hearing when a Conservative MP turned to the boss of Pfizer and | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
said to him, we have not had the level of straight talking that we | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
need. This was despite the warm words from the American executive | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
about what a good company Pfizer was, how it was devoted to science, | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
how it was bringing forward life changing treatments for patients. | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
Howard had made unprecedented commitments on these commitments | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
were legally binding and would last for five years. The problem was a | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
lack of detail. There were no specifics on what sort of jobs might | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
be lost and which sites could be closed down and the level of RND and | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
investment, and tax advantages for Pfizer. Nothing. I think that left | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
MPs profoundly frustrated and sceptical. Why this matters in the | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
bigger picture is it is very hard to see the Prime Minister giving the | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
go-ahead for the deal if we have a cross-party select committee coming | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
out and saying actually we don't trust these guys. Secondly the Prime | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
Minister has said very clearly that he wants more reassurances from | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Pfizer. Today he got nothing. And wide that matters? It is | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
questionable whether Pfizer will want to go ahead with a deal without | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
Government backing. Ian Read was asked if it would still go ahead | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
without Government backing and he did not give a categorical answer, | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
but you sense they would be reluctant to proceed in the teeth of | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Government opposition. Thank you. Detectives investigating | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence have arrested a 59-year-old | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
man on suspicion of murder. The 35-year-old chef disappeared | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
from her home in York in 2009. Our correspondent Danny | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
Savage is there for us now. In five years since Claudia Lawrence | :06:52. | :07:04. | |
disappeared, this is by far and away the most significant development in | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
this investigation. She used to live in the house behind me with the | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Green door and it has always been the working assumption of this | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
police inquiry that she set off from here early in the morning in March | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
to her job as a chef at York University, and at some point along | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
that route, she disappeared. No trace of her has ever been found. | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Until recently it felt like the police investigation had stalled, | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
and was not going anywhere. Then a month ago we had a high profile | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
appeal on the fifth anniversary of her disappearance on the BBC | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
Crimewatch programme. The police then found new evidence using new | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
forensic techniques. Things like DNA on a cigarette found in her car. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Fingerprints in the house. Calls from the public. The CCTV that | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
showed a mystery vehicle in the area at the time. Police seemed to | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
advance that inquiry from that point to this significant development | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
today, the arrest of a 59-year-old man from the York area. Police say | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
that forensic examinations and searches are being conducted which | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
are respected to be on-going over a number of days. A car has also been | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
seized as part of inquiries. Significantly police say they cannot | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
rule out the possibility of further arrests in the future as this | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
continues. Her father has campaigned in a high profile way over the years | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
and he has welcomed the developments today. He also acknowledges this is | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
the most significant development in the inquiry into the disappearance | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
of his 35-year-old daughter in five years. Police are questioning the | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
man and arrest on suspicion of murder and their inquiries continue. | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
Danny Savage, thank you very much. The United States is flying manned | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
surveillance missions over Nigeria to help search for hundreds | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
of schoolgirls kidnapped Yesterday, a video was released | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
apparently showing more than security experts are now examining | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
the footage to look Our world affairs correspondent | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Nick Childs reports. These first tantalising images of | :09:02. | :09:17. | |
the abducted schoolgirls have stirred a mixture of emotions. | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Desperate relatives and friends have been scanning them, hoping to | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
identify loved ones. But could they also reveal important clues from the | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
vegetation, the surroundings, the shadows, for the international | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
effort to find and free these children? From Washington, more | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
details of its team of experts on the ground in Nigeria, now numbering | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
nearly 30. I can report to you that our interdisciplinary team with | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
representatives from the State Department, the department of | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
defence, the FBI and others, it up and running now from the embassy in | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
Nigeria, helping to support the Nigerian Government by providing | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
military and law enforcement assistance as well as a surveillance | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
and reconnaissance support. And the latest from the Foreign Secretary is | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
that the British team deployed on Friday has had meetings with the | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
President and the families and is working with the United States and | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
how else to help. The Americans say they are also conducting mantis | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
surveillance flights, possibly with aircraft like these. -- man. But the | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
challenge is still huge. North East Nigeria from where the girls were | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
taken is a troubled region. Sambisa Forest Reserve is three quarters the | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
size of Scotland, which is where they are thought to be now. The | :10:44. | :10:55. | |
vegetation means you cannot see if you are a drone, which negates the | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
advantage of Western forces. The authorities say all options are open | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
to secure the release of the girls but should that mean negotiating | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
with the lead of Boko Haram for the release of his imprisoned fighters | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
in exchange? That could complicate the broader struggle against Boko | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
Haram and international support for Nigeria from countries are uneasy | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
about such bargaining with a terrorist group. Nick Childs, BBC | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
News. Mark dial is in Abuja for us. The fact that they are not ruling | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
anything else means that negotiation is still possible. Yes, that is | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
certainly the case. The Government put out a statement late last night | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
saying they were studying the video, and specifically in the video | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
the leader of Boko Haram says that he is prepared to perhaps release | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
these girls in a prisoner swap with the Government handing over Boko | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
Haram prisoners that they have got. The Government statement says that | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
all options are open. That clearly indicates that negotiations are one | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
option which the Nigerian Government is considering. Thank you. | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
A teacher who was stabbed to death in her classroom died from shock and | :12:14. | :12:16. | |

A woman who claims she was sexually abused by Rolf Harris | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
when she was a child has been cross-examined today in court. | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
The alleged victim was questioned about a trip to Hawaii in 1978, | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
in which she claims she was assaulted by the television star. | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
Our correspondent Sangita Myska is at Southwark Crown Court . | :12:39. | :12:50. | |
That is right. The woman who has accused Rolf Harris of repeatedly | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
abusing her from the age of 13 today faced gruelling question from his | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
defence about the truthfulness of that story. His defence team put it | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
to her that she had been a wilful teenager who had had plenty of time | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
to get her story straight. Once again, tightly holding the hand of | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
his daughter, and supported by his wife, veteran entertainer Rolf | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
Harris arrived at court under the gaze of both the British and | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
Australian media. He was here to launch his defence against | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
accusations that he had indecently assaulted a family friend when she | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
was just a girl. Representing him, his defence counsel. She told the | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
alleged victim that as a teenager she had had a temper and could be | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
strong minded, wilful and argumentative. She questioned the | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
witness's claimed that the abuse had begun on a holiday with the Harris | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
family in the 1970s. She said: You were going across the world with | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
Emmanuel scared and who was creepy. Why on earth did you go? -- with a | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
man you were scared of. The victim replied because I wanted to go with | :14:06. | :14:15. | |
Bindi and I knew Rolf Harris would not be around much. At the time, he | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
was a mainstay of children's television. The QC repeatedly asked | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
about the notes from the holiday. She said there was no mention in | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
your diary or any hint of unhappiness | :14:35. | :14:35. | |
about the notes from the holiday. She said there was no at all in the | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
diary. Alleged victim replied, no, because if someone saw my diary I | :14:40. | :14:40. | |
would not want anyone to know about it. Rolf Harris is charged with 12 | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
counts of indecent assault against four women. He denies the charges. | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
Seven of those charges related to this one victim. In the last hour, | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
the defence counsel has been repeatedly questioning her about her | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
claim that she was driven to alcoholism as a result of the abuse | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
meted out by Rolf Harris. The defence has put it to her that she | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
willingly experimented with alcohol as a teenager. The prosecution QC | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
has gone on to put as a teenager. The prosecution QC | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
has gone on to it to her that at your house | :15:19. | :15:19. | |
has gone on to it to her that at your drink was freely available. | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
There had been a problem with alcohol isn't in your family. The | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
case continues. Thank you. Our top story this | :15:27. | :15:31. | |

Now, what makes you tick? Time dominates our lives. | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
Do you relish that alarm in the mornings, or do you just grapple for | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
the snooze button? Leading scientists are warning that | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
we are increasingly ignoring our body clock, and that could have | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
serious consequences for our well-being. Our health and science | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
reporter, James Gallagher, has been looking at the issue as part of the | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
Time dominates our lives. Whether it is the mechanical ticking of these | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
cogs and pendulums inside the bell tower at Manchester Town Hall or | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
simply the phone in your pocket, a clock is never far away. Are we | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
paying attention to the right one? We have all got one of these deep | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
inside our brains. It might not look this spectacular but it rules our | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
lives - how strong we are, our brain function - even the odds of having a | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
heart attack are ruled by our own body clock. In hectic rush of modern | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
life and 24-hour society, have we forgotten its importance? An | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
ordinary tea time in the Griffiths household. This is a family working | :17:00. | :17:26. | |
This is a family working on a military schedule. A smartphone is | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
keeping Phoebe up late into the night. The parents share the exact | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
same job. That is why he is in bed in the middle of the afternoon while | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
his wife is working. He has a night shift still to come. The daughter is | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
at karate class. Steve has to get her there, disrupting his sleep. | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
Life does not let you have the sleep any more. Kids want extra curricular | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
activities. You need to cram it all in. I could do with more sleep. I | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
would like there to be a 26 hour day, rather than a 24-hour day. This | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
lifestyle comes at a cost. Pioneering studies have said that | :18:19. | :18:29. | |
activity of our DNA is changed and how our bodies run. These pathways | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
can be underlying links to the negative health outcomes, such as | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
cardiovascular disease, obesity and potentially cancer. There have been | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
calls for doctors to stop prescribing sleep to tackle these | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
problems. When life is so busy, that might just be the hardest pill to | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
swallow. Well, with me is Russell Foster is | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
a professor of circadian neuroscience at Oxford University. | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
In terms of the body clock, what price ignoring it? Element with 60% | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
of our lives will be spent asleep. It is the single most important | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
behaviour we experience. Quality of life joined the day is dependent on | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
the quality of sleep we get at night but did forget the fact that so many | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
important things are going on. The ability to come up with new | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
solutions to complex problems are all going on in the brain at night. | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
The body is rebuilding metabolic pathways. You cannot have a | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
functional day without a good night's sleep. How much is our | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
function is dominated by sunlight? It is critically important. What it | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
does is set the internal day, the body clock, to the external world. | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Morning light exposure is critical in allowing us to align our biology | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
appropriately to the demands of working and resting. | :20:01. | :20:04. | |

Pregnant women are being encouraged to give birth in units run by | :20:08. | :20:28. | |
midwives rather Proposed guidelines for England | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
and Wales from the advisory body, NICE, say new evidence suggests | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
that midwife units are as safe as labour wards led by doctors if | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
the woman is considered a low risk. Our health correspondent, | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
Branwen Jeffreys, reports. than working out where to have your | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
baby is a big decision. Report Today's says low risk women should | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
be encouraged to choose a unit led by midwives. Research shows it is | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
just as safe for them as a hospital ward run by doctors. The advice is | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
being updated for women. Some hope this will also send a clear message | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
to the NHS. Make absolutely sure that all the different facilities | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
are there, so that women really can make a choice. Nobody is trying to | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
push women into having a baby where they do not want to. Deciding where | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
to have your baby is an intensely personal choice. Some women will | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
want the experience of a midwife led unit, others will prefer the | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
reassurance of a traditional hospital ward, just in case anything | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
goes wrong during labour. This midwife unit is just down the | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
corridor from the labour ward. The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
added it to give women more choice. Midwives say, in some areas, the | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
rise in birth rate means that are not enough options. The provision of | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
maternity services are very patchy. In some parts of the country, they | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
are under pressure and there is a need to expand availability of | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
services in those areas to meet the needs of the local population. For | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
most parents, a safe arrival is what they want most. These guidelines | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
will increase pressure to offer real choice, giving them in greater | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
control over a precious experience. Britain's two busiest airports, | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
Heathrow and Gatwick, both submit their bids today to be | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
allowed to build a new runway. The Airports Commission will choose | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
between a second runway for Gatwick, a third | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
for Heathrow or an extension to one But it won't make a decision until | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
after the next general election. Our transport correspondent, | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
Richard Westcott, is at Heathrow. Richard, what's the likelihood | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
of these actually getting built? It is a good question. There is a | :22:40. | :22:51. | |
good chance we will never get a new runway built, no matter what | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
happens. If you think of this process like the journey, it is like | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
long haul to New Zealand but stopping across at lots of point | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
along the way and having a bit of bad weather thrown in as well. We | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
have to wait till September before we even know if a project for a | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
huge, new airport in the Thames estuary, is going to be included on | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
the short list. That error of London once. Then we have to wait until | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
after the general election before we get the final recommendation and | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
then it is down to the new government to make a decision. | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
Interestingly, the boss of British Airways has often said he does not | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
think that will ever be a new runway. | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
The internet search engine, Google, has been told that it must remove | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
some sensitive information about individuals if it is out | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
The ruling was made by the European Court of Justice. | :23:39. | :23:42. | |

Football, in the last hour it's been announced | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
This has been a long-running saga and a sting in the tail for Google. | :23:49. | :23:58. | |
What it concerns is a Spanish man. He is the original complainer. He | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
banned when he put his name into Google, very old story from the | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
1990s came up about his house being repossessed. He did not like that. | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
He complained and wanted it taken down. Google says it just links to | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
stuff on the internet and does not actually control the data will up | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
the final ruling from the Court of Justice said, it is up to you. That | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
has extraordinary consequences, according to lawyers. They now say | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
it will be open to anyone who does not like anything about them on the | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
internet to go to Google and say, I want to take that down and Google | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
will have to do it. Google is saying that could have severe consequences | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
for freedom of speech. What can people do? This has put | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
extraordinary power into people 's hands and giving Google a huge, | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
bureaucratic challenge. They could have thousands of millions of | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
requests from people asking for the information to be removed. The | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
information might still be there on a newspaper website that you would | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
find it a lot more difficult to get to Google removed it from its search | :25:04. | :25:05. | |

in the last hour it's been announced that the Tottenham manager, | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
Tim Sherwood, has left the club. He'd been in charge for six months | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
and led Spurs to sixth-place in the Premier League and qualification | :25:15. | :25:17. | |

been opened at Headley Court. Some of the plants are going to be on | :25:39. | :25:48. | |
display at the Chelsea flower show. Heads Court has treated over 500 | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
seriously wounded soldiers and others from the conflict in | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
Afghanistan. At least 200 of them are amputees and before that the | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
wounded from the war in Iraq. For most of them, the treatment can go | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
on for several years. It can be very tough physical and rehabilitation. | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
For those being treated here, the chance to learn gardening therapy is | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
also the chance to learn some news -- skills. A row is planted to mark | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
a new beginning and the opening of a gardening centre with a difference. | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
-- a rose. These soldiers are both at the rehabilitation centre and now | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
learning horticulture as part of their therapy. Hayden was injured in | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
a car accident. This is a nice change from clinical physio that we | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
do. It is nice and relaxing. Not only is it mentally relaxing but it | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
also gets you up and about without realising it, which is actually good | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
physio. Horticultural therapist Carol is working with Guardsman John | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
Dawson. He was shot in the head while serving in Helmand. He has | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
been a patient here since September 2012. I love doing it. You come down | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
here and it is peaceful and relaxing. You do what is asked and | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
once you are done you go back to the ward and just relax. There is no | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
stress, it is just relaxing. There is no one having a go at you. No | :27:22. | :27:26. | |

She firmly believes in the healing powers of gardening. It is also | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
being engaged in purposeful activity, that there is a reason | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
behind it, it is not just the gym equipment and they have to focus on | :27:51. | :27:57. | |
what you are doing. The number of all winded from Afghanistan is going | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
down although some soldiers are still being treated here many years | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
on. This gardening therapy can help to sow the seeds of recovery and the | :28:08. | :28:19. | |
start of a return to normal life. HighGround is keen to help | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
soldiers, winded or otherwise, in their transition back to normal | :28:25. | :28:33. | |
life. -- wounded or otherwise. The charities say the experiences may be | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
mirrored in the experience of soldiers leaving the Army today as | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
they transition back into civilian life. | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
Things are warming up. Today, we aren't dodging the downpours. The | :28:44. | :29:02. | |
showers have got going again. Yet again, some of them are heavy. Hale | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
is mixed in again. It is not raining all the time. You get to see a bit | :29:09. | :29:18. | |
of sunshine. It may not be too long until the next one comes along. A | :29:19. | :29:23. | |
lovely end the afternoon across western Scotland. To the east, some | :29:24. | :29:25. | |
heavy showers. Maybe a rumble western Scotland. To the east, some | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
thunder. A few showers continue in old an island. They are still with | :29:31. | :29:33. | |
us across northern England, the Midlands, the East of England and | :29:34. | :29:37. | |
into the sap is. Some heavy downpours. -- into the South East. | :29:38. | :29:49. | |
Not quite as breezy in south-west England. The showers tonight are | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
still with us into the first part of tonight, across eastern areas before | :29:55. | :29:58. | |
finally easing. We will keep some patchy cloud and breeze. Light | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
winds, clear skies and temperatures dip away. It'll be colder than this | :30:04. | :30:08. | |
in countryside. Maybe a touch of ground frost. Some spots in Scotland | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
will be down to freezing. A chilly start in the morning. As we go on | :30:15. | :30:19. | |
through the morning, you will think, where are the showers? There | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
are not any developing. For England, Wales and the use of Scotland, it is | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
mainly dry. We do get cloud and outbreaks of rain in Northern | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
Ireland and the West of Scotland. It will hold the temperature down. | :30:34. | :30:36. | |
Elsewhere it will be warmer and a sign of things to come. High | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
pressure is building in. Coming into Thursday, shunting away the rain | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
bearing weather fronts in Scotland and Northern Ireland. More of us | :30:46. | :30:49. | |
will be dry and warm on Thursday. There will be cloud around. Sunny | :30:50. | :30:56. | |
spells, maybe hazy at times. Many parts of the UK will be into the | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
high teens and low 20s going Thursday into Friday. The best of | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
the sunshine will be across southern areas. Into the weekend, the chance | :31:05. | :31:06. | |
of showers and becoming areas. Into the weekend, the chance | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
of showers unsettled. Until then, dryer, warmer weather, some | :31:12. | :31:17. | |
occasional sunshine. Still fairly chilly. Plenty of time for me to | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
keep this tie on for a little time yet. Thank you very much. Now a | :31:23. | :31:28. | |
