A prominent Liberal Democrat peer resigns, claiming Nick Clegg is | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Lord Oakeshott said the party had lost their roots, | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
He called for a change in leadership. We will be assessing how | :00:14. | :00:25. | |
damaging this is for the party leader. | :00:26. | :00:26. | |
We'll be analysing the figures coming from both sides in | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
Both sides present the figures which they say back their case | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
We have put forward the benefit over the period of 15 years. We calculate | :00:35. | :00:43. | |
that as each individual being ?1000 better off. By staying within the | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
UK, it's worth ?1400 to each person in Scotland, each year for the next | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
20 years. Stoned to death by her father | :00:55. | :01:00. | |

the new scheme promising better standards | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
in private rented properties. Critics describe it | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
as a meaningless gimmick. Good afternoon | :01:25. | :01:47. | |
and welcome to the BBC News At One. In the last hour, | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
a senior Liberal Democrat peer accused of trying to undermine Nick | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Clegg as party leader has resigned. Lord Oakeshott had commissioned | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
and leaked a poll suggesting Mr Clegg would lose his Commons seat | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
at the general election next year. Mr Clegg said his actions were | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
"totally unacceptable" and had warned that the peer would face | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
disciplinary action when Parliament Our chief political correspondent is | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
in East London for us, where the Deputy Prime | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Minister was speaking earlier. Norman, how much trouble does this | :02:22. | :02:33. | |
cause him? Simon, the entrails of the plot to unseat Nick Clegg have | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
this morning been laid bare after the man behind the attempt, Lord | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
Oakeshott, Matthew Oakeshott, one of the most long-standing Liberal | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
Democrats, conceded he was the man behind four opinion polls | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
deliberately commissioned to show that Nick Clegg was, in his words, | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
leading the party to disaster, in an attempt to provide local party | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
activists with the evidence he hoped would galvanise them into moving | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
against Nick Clegg. This matters not just because it shows the level of | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
disquiet within the party, not just because Matthew Oakeshott is a man | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
who helped establish the party way back in the 1980s, not just because | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
he is a key ally of Vince cable, one of his closest confidants and often | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
regarded as his key political left and it at Westminster, but because | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
in his resignation statement Matthew Oakeshott through a political hand | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
grenade over his shoulder in the direction of Nick Clegg by | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
suggesting that Vince Cable new about these four polls at the centre | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
of the plot. Not that he commissioned them, not that he | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
intended to destabilise Nick Clegg, but that he was aware that Matthew | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
Oakeshott was commissioning these four plots which were intended to | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
unseat Nick Clegg. Now, that is a huge, huge problem for Mr Clegg | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
because if true, it would suggest that Mr Cable had some knowledge of | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Lord Oakeshott's actions and would suggest that Vince Cable, Mr | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
Clegg's number two, might have been implicated in this plot, albeit up | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
to now he has vehemently denied any knowledge and yesterday denounced | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
his former friend Matthew Oakeshott for conducting those polls. What do | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
you think Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrat party will do now? I think | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
Clegg will want an absolute categorical assurance from Vince | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
Cable that he was not manoeuvring, that he had not sanctioned or given | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
a green light to Matthew Oakeshott to behave in this way. This morning, | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
they insisted they were 100% convinced that Mr Cable was not | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
involved but there is a separate problem for Nick Clegg. We learned | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
this morning that two local parties in Liverpool and Cambridge are to | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
hold emergency meetings to consider Mr Clegg's position. These two | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
constituencies are significant because they are two areas where the | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Liberal Democrats suffered a drubbing in the local elections. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
There is a twin threat to Mr Clegg's position. There is on one | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
hand the manoeuvring is of the likes of Lord Oakeshott and on the other | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
hand, the evident disquiet of party members. It isn't just these two | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
parties. We learned yesterday in a poll of ordinary Lib Dem members | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
that some 40 this unwanted Nick Clegg to quit. -- some 40 but | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
wanted. It's a big day in the run-up to | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Scotland's independence referendum in September - | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
with voters being given conflicting information about whether they will | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
be better or worse off. The Scottish Government is arguing | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
that independence could mean an extra ?1,000 for each person - | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
but the UK Government says voters would have more if they stay | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
in the United Kingdom. Our Scotland correspondent | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Lorna Gordon is in Edinburgh. Yes, Simon, it really felt as if the | :06:00. | :06:10. | |
argument stepped up a gear today, with the UK government and the | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
Scottish Government clashing, publishing two rival documents which | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
are pretty weighty, heavy and complicated and heavily contested. | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
They contain economic facts, statistics and arguments. | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
Edinburgh, early morning and Scotland's capital wakes up to a | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
conundrum - and economic bonus or a UK dividend. Some Scots have already | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
decided which way they will vote. For them, the economic arguments | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
aren't important. I've never considered the economic issue but I | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
am personally very much against it. The economic argument isn't the most | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
important thing to me. It's important not to be run by people in | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
London who don't have much to do with Scotland, and to be run by a | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
government that we can vote for. For others, the economy is key. I want | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
to know how much it is going to affect you and your family as an | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
individual. In amongst all of the figures, oil features heavily but | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
there is more to the arguments than that. The Scottish Government claim | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
that the benefits of independence far outweigh the costs and will | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
eventually lead to an extra ?1000 for every man, woman and child. We | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
say that by working together, by improving productivity in the | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Scottish economy, by enhancing our working age population and by | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
increasing employment, we can grow the Scottish economy to give us an | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
additional tax - not by increasing individual taxes but by growing the | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
economy - of ?5 million a year by 2030. That amounts to ?1000 for | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
every man, woman and child in the country. Both sides are disputing | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
the other's analysis. The Scottish Government accuses the Treasury of | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
cooking the books, the Treasury argument that the Scottish | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
Government's statistics are not credible. With declining oil | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
revenues and an ageing population, it is all easily avoided by staying | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
within the UK. It is worth ?1400 for each person in Scotland each year | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
for the next 20 years. That's the UK dividend and the further ahead you | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
look, the more the pressures build. Today has seen a blizzard of | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
statistics from both sides - those who want the union to continue and | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
those who seek independence and agree on one thing, that Scots face | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
their most important decision for more than 300 years. But there the | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
consensus ends. The alternate visions for Scotland's future are | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
wildly different, hotly contested and share little common ground. | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
This is pretty heavy stuff and quite difficult to digester but it is | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
ultimately extremely important. The figures - people have been mulling | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
over them but I think it will come down to one simple thing for the | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
voters. They will have to decide who they believe there is a long now | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
until they vote. The vote on a referendum takes place 16 weeks | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
tomorrow on September the 18th. For more on the arguments | :09:21. | :09:23. | |

that's bbc.co.uk/scotlanddecides Rolf Harris has been questioned | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
by the prosecution barrister on the second day of | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
his giving evidence at his trial. He accepted that complimenting one | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
of his alleged victims when she was wearing a bikini | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
at the age of 13 could suggest that He denies 12 counts of indecent | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
assault, relating to four girls. Sangita Myska was in court | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
and sent this report. Rolf Harris today arrived at court | :09:49. | :10:01. | |
as he has throughout this trial holding the hand of his daughter | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
Bindi and with an arm around his wife of 50 years, all win. -- all | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
when Harris. He faced tough questions from the prosecution about | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
his account of his relationship with his daughter's friend, his first | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
alleged victim. As he sat in the witness box, the entertainer claimed | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
it was she who had instigated the affair when she was 18 and he was | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
53. The prosecution attacked his story. The prosecutor said: | :10:30. | :10:59. | |
The prosecution put it to the entertainer that far from having | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
consensual relationship with his alleged victim, he had groomed her, | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
thereby psychologically dominating her into womanhood and it was this | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
that later drove her to alcoholism. The entertainer was also asked about | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
a letter he had sent the alleged victim's father. The prosecutor | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
said: Rolf Harris is expected to continue | :11:21. | :11:54. | |
giving evidence into tomorrow. He is charged with 12 counts of indecent | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
assault. He denies the charges. Hundreds of migrants are being | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
evicted by riot police from several illegal camps outside | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
the French port of Calais. Many have been there for months - | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
some trying to smuggle themselves French authorities say | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
an outbreak of scabies and a lack of running water pose a health risk | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
- and the sites need to be cleared. Paul Adams in Calais has | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
just sent this report. Dawn came and the migrants were | :12:17. | :12:28. | |
ready. In the camp they call Syria, some had already packed their bags. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
They don't have much and it didn't take long. These people have known | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
dreadful pride patients. This would simply be another bad day. -- | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
Private nation. A symbolic line was drawn between the migrants and the | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
port which draws them here. Not knowing what to expect, they beat a | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
retreat. You can go, she says. Take your belongings with you, we'll | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
destroy what remains, but you're free to go. The police moved in | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
slowly, inspecting every makeshift tent to make sure no one was left | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
inside. This place has grown hugely in recent months and is filthy. | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Authorities say there is an outbreak of scabies. This whole operation, | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
which people have been expecting for 48 hours, is proceeding pretty | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
smoothly. Tent by tent, the camp is being cleared. It's fairly calm but | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
over the process looms the question, where are these people supposed to | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
go? We thought France was a European country and that we would be safe | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
here in this country because we ran away from war. I am from Syria. But | :13:40. | :13:49. | |
we see the opposite. Belatedly, and in vain, the authorities tried to | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
explain their plans, offering the prospect of a shower, clean clothes | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
and better accommodation for anybody willing to move. But the migrants | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
don't trust the authorities. Egged on by local activists, they | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
barricaded themselves into a nearby shelter. They suspect a trap and | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
fear they will be arrested, even deported. While the stand-off | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
continued, bulldozers moved in. The Syrian camp has gone. The problem | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
that created it has not. A woman has been stoned to death | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
by her father and brothers outside the High Court | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
building in the Pakistan's second The woman was reportedly killed | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
for marrying a man She's believed to have been | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
three months pregnant. Murder on the streets of Lahore, in | :14:32. | :14:47. | |
broad daylight. A woman in love and pregnant was stoned to death and no | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
one intervene tent. Farzana Bibi was only 25. Herbert Read husband will | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
now have to bury her and her unborn child. -- her bereaved husband. | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
Women were morning in front of the victim's shrouded body and they were | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
in shock this could happen to any of them. The couple were on their way | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
to court, having married against the wishes of the victim's parents, | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
unacceptable in a deeply conservative country. Her family | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
filed for -- filed a case for abduction and the couple were coming | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
to contest it. 20 members of her family were waiting here. They tried | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
to snatch away from her husband and when she resisted, they pelted her | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
with stones until she collapsed dead. Her father surrendered after | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
the attack but the others got away. In the aftermath of the stoning, | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
condemnation and indignation. So-called honour killings are common | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
in Pakistan but stoning in public is another level of horror. It's called | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
an honour killing and I always put that in quotation marks because the | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
concept that the honour of the family resides in the woman's body, | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
the woman is the repository of honour of the family and the | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
community, is not necessarily the case. She has a right to make her | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
own decisions about her own life. Many here in Pakistan are calling | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
this case already premeditated murder. Unfortunately in past cases | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
of so-called honour killings, the attackers got off very lightly. The | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
question now is, will the revolting aspect of this public stoning make a | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
difference, a positive difference, to the way justice is delivered | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
forward in here? -- for women. A senior Liberal Democrat, | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
Lord Oakeshott, has resigned from the party, | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
saying it was "heading for disaster" The internet giant Google is to | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
build self-driving cars - some The Old Street mural - | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
in memory of a murdered young man. His family hope it will make people | :16:53. | :17:04. | |
think twice before carrying a knife. And we talk to Tom Cruise and | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
Emily Blunt Obese people who lose just 3% of | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
their body weight can significantly improve their health - but only if | :17:11. | :17:21. | |
the weight stays off. New guidelines from NICE add that stigmatising | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
overweight people does not work, and can actually put them off seeking | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
help. If some overweight people were sent to slimming classes, it says, | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
the cost would be easily covered by the benefits to the NHS. Here's our | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
health correspondent Dominic Hughes. Losing that excess | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
weight is hard work. Now, experts believe the losing a | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
few pounds and keeping them off can make a real difference to our | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
health. Many people at this exercise class | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
have been referred by their GP. The National Institute | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
for Health and Care Excellence says more exercise is only part | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
of the solution. The guidelines being produced are | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
not about quick fixes and they most certainly don't | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
contain any magic bullets. They contain a series | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
of recommendations related to the kinds of things individuals can | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
do, the sorts of programmes people can go along to all be prescribed | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
by their GP which will help them to lose relatively small | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
but important amounts of weight. This matters because the number | :18:16. | :18:27. | |
of people who are overweight or More than a quarter | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
of adults are now classed as obese and a further 42% of men | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
and a third of women are overweight. Dealing with the long-term | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
consequences of obesity costs the Eventually, this woman turned to the | :18:41. | :19:02. | |
support offered by a diet club, which may help. You have an issue | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
with weight and once you realise that is a problem and admit to it, | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
help is out there and you can do it. You cannot do it by yourself, it is | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
not a matter of eating less, but you can do it with the right support | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
group. But some people believe this advice lacks ambition. | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
I think as a piece of advice it is not bad for a beginning. | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
But if you are obese or morbidly obese, losing 3% | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
of your body weight, you are still going to be obese at the end. | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
NICE says sensible, sustainable weight loss is the key | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
and that the weight must stay off for life if the benefits to | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
The Church of England is attempting to give | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
people in debt an alternative to using pay-day lenders by promoting | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
The Church has announced pilot schemes in Liverpool, | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
London and the diocese of Southwark almost a year after the Archbishop | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said he would try to force pay-day | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
So all the money has been done and that is your receipt. In London's | :20:02. | :20:19. | |
East End, church members offer advice on matters financial as well | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
as spiritual. For two years, Stapp had been steering their congregation | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
towards more responsible borrowing. Look at your expenditure and your | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
income and then work out how much you can actually afford. There is no | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
rollover. Credit unions and mutuals are not for profit and they are run | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
for members by members. They provide services including savings and | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
loans. Money deposited by savers is then used to fund low-interest | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
rent. The interest rates are much lower. The church scheme is being | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
supported by a former city regulator. We could end up with a | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
vibrant financial industry. In the short-term, the issue for payday | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
lenders is not about competitors, but educating the public to | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
understand they can get finance from alternative providers, more ethical | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
providers. But at best the church scheme could provide just 10% of the | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
small loans made to borrowers. That leaves a big gap in the market. The | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
archbishop needs to be realistic about what can be delivered as a | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
result of this. The payday industry has been going for quite some time | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
now and the regulation has had massive breath of occasions. -- | :21:43. | :21:51. | |
ramifications. The government is to introduce a new law to cap the cost | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
of payday loans. We will find out what that cabbies is an ex-month. | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
In Thailand, the army says it's now released 124 | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
leading politicians, activists and academics who were taken into | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
76 people are still detained, most from the Red Shirt movement | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
Those who have been released were told to avoid political activity, | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
and to notify the military of any travel. | :22:14. | :22:14. | |
Jonathan Head's report from Bangkok contains some flash photography. | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
Thailand's military rulers have been losing the propaganda war. | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
So, for the first time, they've been showing video evidence | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
These are leaders of the pro-government Red Shirt | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
movement in captivity saying they are being well treated. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
These are the activists with the ability to mobilise elements | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
None has been able to speak publicly about their detention, | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
nor is it clear what conditions the military imposed for their release. | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
Some detainees are refusing to accept any conditions. | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
The former education minister was arrested yesterday and is one. | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
He's been prosecuted for failing to hand himself | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
And the military is tightening its censorship. | :22:57. | :23:10. | |
Hundreds of websites have disappeared from Thai screens. | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
The ministry in charge of regulating the Internet says much | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
The military wants us to monitor two issues. | :23:17. | :23:29. | |
One, anything which portrays the monarchy in a bad light. | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
And second, anything which threatens unity and stability. | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
We don't want the country to break apart, | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
There are Thais who have welcomed the military's intervention. | :23:37. | :23:46. | |
The army will be grateful for these supportive images. | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
But in reality, they've thrown this country into uncertainty. | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
The cost of their coup is hard to gauge, but it could be high. | :23:52. | :24:08. | |
Would you consider looking after a vulnerable stranger or | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
Thousands of people already do, and local authorities would | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
The BBC's Graham Satchell has been finding out more... | :24:15. | :24:25. | |
It's lunchtime at Pauline and Dave's house in Liverpool. | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
They both have severe learning difficulties. | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
They live with Pauline and Dave, who cook and care for them. | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
Pauline used to be a care worker in a residential home. | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
Both her and Dave have been trained and CRB checked. | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
So they all live together, but Alma and Keith also have some | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
When you work in a big industry like a nursing home or a hospital, | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
of course you help people and you give them the best you can, but you | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
For Alma and Keith, after years in out of hospital | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
and residential care, they are very much part of a family. | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
If it weren't for Dave and Pauline, I'd be on the streets now. | :25:10. | :25:21. | |
The average cost of looking after someone in the community like | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
this is just over ?30,000 a year, half the cost of residential care. | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
Just one of the reasons authorities now want to | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
North London, and Jennifer is buying food, an evening meal for two. | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
Jennifer is 26, and like many her age has struggled | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
So, in something of a reverse of the scheme in Liverpool, | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
Jennifer has moved in with the redoubtable 98-year-old Anne. | :25:48. | :25:49. | |
Were you happy to have someone come and live with you? | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
Jennifer keeps Anne company, keeps an eye on her, | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
cooks the evening meal and pays just ?100 a month in rent. | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
Some of my friends have been horrified of the idea, | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
so it just depends on the person, I think, and the lifestyle they lead. | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
You wouldn't like to go into any kind of care home? | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
I know I am, but I try to be young inside. | :26:22. | :26:35. | |
This home share scheme is called Care To Stay. | :26:36. | :26:37. | |
Along with Shared Lives, it is a successful, | :26:38. | :26:39. | |
economical model of care, and maybe a blueprint for the future | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
Now, how safe would you feel being taken in a car driven by... | :26:43. | :26:55. | |
Just a computer controlling things - a car with no steering wheel, | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
The US giant Google has announced plans to build 100 self-driving | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
vehicles, and has started trying them out in California. | :27:03. | :27:04. | |
Supporters claim their use could reduce the number | :27:05. | :27:06. | |
of accidents, but some researchers say they could make traffic worse. | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
Our technology correspondent Rory Cellan Jones reports. | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
Could this be the future of motoring? Knows steering wheel, | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
accelerator or break. Just strap yourself in, programme your | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
destination and off you go. The maximum speed is 25 miles an hour. | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
Sensors and software detect other vehicles and softer materials should | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
make it safer if the car did hit a pedestrian. Google is to build 100 | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
of these vehicles in the next stage of a hugely ambitious project which | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
has so far involved adapting existing cars. The firm believes the | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
years from now this car will bring increased mobility to all sorts of | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
people. A car without a driver could cut congestion and reduce | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
accidents, 90% of which are caused by human error. To make this work | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
would need is huge transformation both in the way we regulate our | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
transport system and in our attitude to motoring. Google's existing self | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
driving car has driven 100 miles without an accident. It can detect a | :28:20. | :28:29. | |
cyclist pulling out. Our software detects the hand signal as the | :28:30. | :28:31. | |
cyclist pulls out and moves accordingly. This may be an idea | :28:32. | :28:38. | |
whose time has come. This is a natural progression of technology. | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
Modern cars have more and more automatic technology built into | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
them. Adaptive cruise control, automatic parking. I don't think | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
everyone will want them, but for elderly drivers, it could be an | :28:52. | :28:57. | |
option. Google plans to run a pilot scheme near its Californian | :28:58. | :28:59. | |
headquarters in the next couple of years. But it will be a long time | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
before most city streets are ready for motoring without motorists. | :29:05. | :29:13. | |
Now, a look at the weather. Grey, leaden skies with outbreaks of rain | :29:14. | :29:24. | |
for most of the UK. The cloud continues to pile in in the hours | :29:25. | :29:28. | |
ahead. Plenty of drizzle in just about all areas but I'm a glass half | :29:29. | :29:34. | |
full kind of chap, so it has been a lovely morning in western Scotland, | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
Northern Ireland. We will see more cloud build and an outside chance of | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
one of two showers. Contrast that with the East of Scotland, a cool | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
breeze of the North Sea. Outbreaks of rain will get heavier. Also | :29:49. | :29:54. | |
heavier after a brief respite this afternoon in the North of England. | :29:55. | :30:00. | |
Hazy sunshine in Cornwall, temperatures in the high teens. | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
Further bursts of heavy rain across central parts of England. At least | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
in East Anglia it is a better day than yesterday. Tonight, a fairly | :30:10. | :30:15. | |
damp night with cloud dominating. The wettest conditions tend to be in | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
the North of England and southern Scotland. The main exception is the | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
far north of Scotland and western parts of Northern Ireland. | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
Temperatures similar to last night, around nine to 13 degrees. On | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
Thursday, low pressure is firmly in charge. Winds ease for the southern | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
half of the UK, but this area of high pressure becomes our friend | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
later in the week. It starts to exert its influence across the | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
northern part of Scotland and England by Thursday. Still outbreaks | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
of rain for a good part of the day in southern Scotland, northern | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
England and Northern Ireland. But more sunshine in Wales, the | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
Midlands, the Southeast and East Anglia. Temperatures higher than | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
they have been. That could be enough to set off a couple of heavy local | :31:05. | :31:10. | |
showers into the evening. Then the better news you been waiting for. It | :31:11. | :31:14. | |
looks like things will turn much drier by the end of the week as that | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
area of high pressure pushes towards us. Still some showers across | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
southern parts of England and Wales on Friday. But most will have a | :31:23. | :31:28. | |
drier, brighter, less breezy day, so it should feel a bit warmer. Warmer | :31:29. | :31:34. | |
still as we go into the weekend. It won't be completely dry, but most of | :31:35. | :31:38. | |
us will have a predominantly dry weekend with breaks in the cloud | :31:39. | :31:40. | |
allowing sunshine at times. Our top story: a senior Liberal | :31:41. | :31:54. | |
