Pilot errors led to the Shoreham air crash which killed 11 men say | :00:07. | :00:10. | |

to the BBC News at One. Air accident investigators say | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
that the Shoreham Airshow disaster which killed 11 people was caused | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
by pilot error. The pilot was flying too low and too | :02:16. | :02:27. | |
slow. A vintage jet performing a loop the loops stand crashed onto | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
the A27 in 2015. In their final report | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
into the incident in 2015 in which a vintage jet performing | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
a stunt crashed onto the A27 - the investigators said the pilot | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
started the loop stunt too low - and too slow and could have taken | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
action to abort the display. Our correspondent | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Duncan Kennedy reports. This was the Hawker Hunter | :02:45. | :02:45. | |
jet at the centre of This is the jet over the Shoreham | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
area the day of the accident. It was during one manoeuvre that this | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
happened. The jet crashed by the A27 that ran alongside the showground. | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
Oh, my god! The fireball engulfed drivers and bystanders. A disaster | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
measured in seconds and gave little chance of escape. 11 men were | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
killed, it was the worst airshow accident in Britain in more than 60 | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
years. Among those who died was marked weaves, a plane enthusiast. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
His family today gave their reaction to the accident report. Obviously, | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
the AIB were brought in to discover the cause of the crash based on | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
fact, they were not there to attribute blame and they have | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
determined the cause. In that sense, we are satisfied, but obviously, it | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
has exposed a lot of key flaws in the running of their shows. Air | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
accident investigators produced this video today of what they say | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
happened. They say the pilot was lower than he should have been at | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
the start of the manoeuvre and there was not enough engine thrust or | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
speed. The aircraft was too low to perform the loop the loop and it may | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
be the pilot mis-read his height instruments. He hit the ground. | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
Investigators will not save the crash was avoidable but that a | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
number of factors combined to cause it. And escape manoeuvre was | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
possible and could have been conducted by the aircraft but with | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
some additional work, we found there are all sorts of human performance | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
limitations that might have prevented the pilot from recognising | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
he was too low all that and escape manoeuvre was necessary or possible | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
from that position. The pilot of the jet was Andy Hill, he survived with | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
serious injuries but has no memory of the crash. The report suggests he | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
may have confused his speed and altitude with other aircraft he had | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
flown. The report also found there were deficiencies of organisation | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
and maintenance. The aircraft was not complied with its permit to fly. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
There was a lack of clarity over who at the airshow was responsible for | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
safety. Controls to protect the public were ineffective. The Civil | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
Aviation Authority which governs safety at Britain's air displays has | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
already brought in a number of changes following this crash. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Increasing the distance between the display and the crowds watching | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
below and also requires pilots to be better qualified before carrying out | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
these acrobatic manoeuvres. Today's final accident report has answered | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
the technical question of what and why this crash happened. And that | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
may give some measure of understanding and comfort to the | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
relatives and friends of those who died. | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
And Duncan is in Farnborough - so Duncan what happens next? | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
Essentially, all the interested parties take away this report and | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
absorb it. It's very long and complicated, not least of course for | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
the families and their solicitors. This report was not about | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
apportioning blame, but finding out what happened, and what happened was | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
that this plane was flying too low and too slowly. The report also | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
concludes there were other contributing factors with the pilot | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
and the plane and the organisers. Going forward, what happens, the | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
police investigation into the pilot Andy Hill, now continues. They have | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
already questioned him under caution and they will now consider whether | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
he should face manslaughter charges or not. One final thing is that the | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
inquest can now go ahead. The coroner was waiting for this | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
accident report to be published and that has now happened so a date for | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
the inquest is now expected. That also should give some comfort to the | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
families of the Shoreham airshow disaster. | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
Theresa May has attacked the SNP, saying it is obsessed | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
with independence - regardless of fact and reality. | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Speaking at the Scottish Conservative conference in Glasgow, | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
the Prime Minister accused the Scottish Government | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
of "neglecting and mismanaging public services in Scotland" | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
and said it was the poorest and most vulnerable who benefited most | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
from the union between Scotland and the rest of the UK. | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
Lorna Gordon is in Glasgow - Lorna it's the first time she has | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
addressed the conference as PM and Theresa May did | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
This was a very wide ranging speech the Prime Minister gave and there | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
was a positive message about the union and the shared history but | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
what was most striking is that she came out swinging. She used quite | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
strong language in what was an aggressive attack on the SNP, | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
focusing in part on their policies at Holyrood and on their | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
constitutional position. She said they were a party interested in | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
stoking up what she called endless constitutional grievances, a party | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
focused on just one thing, independence, to the detriment of | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
the day job, delivering devolved areas of policy like health and | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
education. Politics is not a game, | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
and government is not a platform from which to | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
pursue constitutional obsessions. It is about taking the serious | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
decisions to improve people's lives. A tunnel vision nationalism | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
which focuses only on independence Those comments are provoked a | :08:29. | :08:47. | |
response from the SNP, who have their own conference in a | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
fortnight's time. Angus Robertson, deputy leader of the SNP, causing | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
the comments, ironical, hypocritical and surreal. He said he believed it | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
was Theresa May's government's constitutional obsession with a hard | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Brexit which is threatening Scottish jobs and livelihood and that she was | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
guilty of mind-boggling hypocrisy. Theresa May might have been wanting | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
to shut down the debate over independence ahead of starting those | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
negotiations over Brexit, but I think if anything, the language is | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
heartening on both sides of this debate over independence and the | :09:26. | :09:26. | |
rhetoric is ramping up. Police who investigated the sudden | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
death of a baby in Cumbria have been heavily criticised | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
as being disorganised and having Poppi Worthington who was just 13 | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
months old, collapsed at her home in Barrow-in-Furness | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
in December in 2012. The Independent Police | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
Complaints Commission found that the investigation | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
into her death was "not fit for purpose". | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
Judith Moritz reports. Poppi Worthington only lived for 13 | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
months. She was found with serious injuries at her home in Barritt in | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
2012. The investigation which followed her death was so flawed | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
that four years on, serious failings are still coming to light. The | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
watchdog, the IPCC, has published a report levelling heavy criticism at | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
Cumbria police. The investigator found evidence there had been an | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
unstructured investigation, essentially not fit for purpose. We | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
found concerns in relation to the way that the scene where Poppi had | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
been was managed. The report's details are a catalogue of mistakes | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
made by detectives. Crucial evidence was thrown away. Witnesses were not | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
interviewed for eight months. There was enough evidence to arrest | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
Poppi's father on Day 1. But Paul Worthington has never faced charges | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
although a High Court judge ruled he had probably sexually assaulted his | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
daughter shortly before her death. He has always denied this. For most | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
people, this is incomprehensible that the father was not investigated | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
immediately. By the time the trail was picked up, it had gone cold and | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
so probably, there will never be justice for Poppi Worthington and | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
that is a terrible thing. The IPCC found that two detectives who led | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
the investigation had cases to answer for gross misconduct. Both | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
are now retired. They waited until they got a firm report by the | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
pathologist with firm conclusions. That took seven months and in that | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
seven months, the whole investigation went into suspended | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
animation. That was wholly unacceptable because that was seven | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
months lost. A new inquest will be held in May and Poppi's mother says | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
that the failings have left her deeply and profoundly distressed. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Donald Trump has defended his Attorney General Jeff Sessions | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
as an honest man and dismissed calls for his resignation. | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
Senior US Democrats have demanded the Attorney General step down, | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
saying he had lied on oath at his confirmation | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
hearing over his contacts with the Russian Ambassador. | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
President Trump said Mr Sessions "could have stated his response more | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
accurately but it was clearly not intentional" and accused | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
the Democrats of a witch-hunt. Daniel Boettcher reports. | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
At the centre of the latest allegations of contact | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
between the Trump administration and Russia, the Attorney | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
At his confirmation hearing, he'd failed to tell | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
the Senate about two meetings with the Russian ambassador. | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Senior Democrats accuse him of lying under oath. | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
President Trump says he still has his full confidence. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
Jeff Sessions has resisted pressure to resign, but he has now removed | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
himself from any investigations looking into the election campaign, | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
including allegations of Russian interference. | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
The reason I believed I should recuse myself | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
is because I was involved in the campaign. | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
To a degree, I think it would have been perceived but I wouldn't have | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
been objective in participating in an investigation that might | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
I did not confirm or deny any investigation. | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
I just felt like I should clear the air. | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
But he's denied he did anything wrong, and describes what's been | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
said about his meeting with the ambassador as unfair | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
President Trump has come to his defence, tweeting: | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
The real story is all the illegal leaks of classified | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
and other information. It is a total witch-hunt. | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
This is Russia's ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak. | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
It's a post he is held for almost a decade. | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
There has been a furious response from Russia to allegations in some | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
US news reports that he is a spy. The Foreign Ministry describing it | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
as a media provocation and a stunning charge. | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
And when Russia's Foreign Minister was asked today about the continuing | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
controversy over his ambassador meeting Jeff Sessions, | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
his reply echoed words President Trump had used earlier. | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
TRANSLATION: I can only quote the phrase that has | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Saying that all this closely resembles a witch-hunt. | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
Or times of McCarthyism, which we thought had long passed | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
Mr Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, | :14:16. | :14:25. | |
was with Michael Flynn, who has since been sacked | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
as national security adviser, when he met Ambassador Kislyak | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
after the election. Daniel Boettcher, BBC News. | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
Our correspondent Jane O'Brien is in Washington. | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
Has the President and Mr Sessions done enough to make sure this goes | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
away? For now, I think, but the Democrats are still circling. I | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
think he's done enough to appease some Republicans who were worried | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
about what a distraction this was becoming. By taking himself out of | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
this investigations into allegations of Russian interference into the | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
election, he has quietened things down for the moment. Ultimately, | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
this is all about transparency and people simply don't know who met | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
whom, when, what the conversations were about and this is the problem | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
facing the Trump administration, because it's very difficult to prove | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
a negative. It's very difficult to prove these conversations were | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
innocent, that nothing happened, because people simply don't know. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
The more these revelations keep coming up that yes, senior officials | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
like the Attorney General did have contacts with Russian officials, | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
then the more it looks bad. Thank you. | :15:36. | :15:41. | |

Pilot errors caused the Shoreham air crash which killed 11 men. | :15:46. | :15:50. | |

Counting is under way for Northern Ireland's Assembly election vote. | :16:07. | :16:20. | |
Polls closed last night, with final results expected | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
It's the second time that Northern Ireland has had to choose | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
a government in the space of ten months. | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
This generation might not remember the Troubles, | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
but elections in Northern Ireland tend to expose all divisions, | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
and once the results of this vote are known, | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
the challenge could be holding onto power sharing. | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
The public seem to have been engaged by this campaign. | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
But a new government at Stormont doesn't just depend on the results. | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
It needs the parties to agree to enter into | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
At one stage last year, Sinn Fein and DUP seemed | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
so close that their leaders, Martin McGuinness and Arlene Foster, | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
were given the joint nickname of Marlene. | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
But that cosy relationship didn't last long. | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
The coalition government collapsed at the start of this year | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
after a series of rows, not least over a financial scandal | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
connected to the RHI, the renewable heat incentive, | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
a botched green energy scheme that was at one stage rejected | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
to cost the taxpayer around half ?1 billion. | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
That led to what felt like quite a divisive and at times | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
bad-tempered election campaign, but once the final votes | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
are counted, the parties will immediately have to start | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
thinking about negotiations to try to get power sharing | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
and Stormont back up and running again. | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
Here in our virtual assembly, we can see how the parties did | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
in the last election, which was, remember, | :17:49. | :17:49. | |
Then, the DUP won 38 of the 108 seats, while Sinn Fein | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
were in second place with 20 assembly members. | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
The opposition parties, the SDLP, the Ulster Unionists | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
and the Alliance, they will all hope to have increased their share | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
of the vote after the way that coalition fell apart, | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
and that's true for the smaller parties, too. | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
But actually gaining seats could be difficult, | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
because the number of assembly members is being reduced | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
So there will definitely be some disappointed former MLAs | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
The size of the DUP in the last assembly gave the party what's known | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
In effect, that's a veto to prevent any legislation they don't like. | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
They need to hold onto 30 seats to keep that veto. | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
Although the future of the petition of concern itself could be up | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
for discussion as the parties try to get an agreement that would | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
During this campaign, harsh words have been exchanged | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
between the DUP's Arlene Foster and the new Sinn Fein | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
By the end of this count, Stormont will have a new assembly, | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
but that doesn't mean it will have a government. | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
Let's find out a bit more from Chris who is in Belfast. There's been a | :19:02. | :19:17. | |
big turnout, but what happens next? Yes, turnout is up as much as 13% in | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
some constituencies, but the parties can't be sure what has happened yet, | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
so there are nervous faces behind me. It could be, and the opposition | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
parties will be hoping this, that some of those who are angered about | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
the way the power-sharing fell apart and the green Anjou scheme will be | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
frustrated with the power-sharing and how it works. But there will be | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
many motivated in the DUP and Sinn Fein camps out to support their side | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
in what many have called a divisive and perhaps even sectarian election. | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
Technically they have three weeks once the results are known to try to | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
form a government. If that doesn't happen, and frankly, given the | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
relationship between the DUP and Sinn Fein at the moment, that could | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
be a tough ask, then that stage there is a potential for direct | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
rule, that is Westminster stepping in and running things from here. As | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
far as Northern Ireland is concerned, that would cause great | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
difficulties for the assembly, and getting it back up and running would | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
be even more of an ask. The first results we will know in a very short | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
time, but it will be some time before we get a fuller picture | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
because of the corrugated voting system here that requires multiple | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
counts, and it is only when there's multiple cancer completed that we | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
will get a real picture of where the party stands. Chris, thank you for | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
that assessment, thank you. The number of people | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
on controversial zero hours contracts has reached a record high | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
with figures now close to a million. They're based on analysis of Office | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
for National Statistics data which reveals 110,000 more people | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
were on contracts that do not guarantee work in 2016 - | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
compared with the same Our business correspondent | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
Joe Lynam reports. Zero-hours contracts came | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
to prominence when it emerged that most of the warehouse staff at this | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
giant Sports Direct distribution Thousands of UK employers | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
avail of such contracts Companies don't need to provide | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
holiday pay, maternity leave Now we know that a record number | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
of people are currently working What we've seen over the last year | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
is another sharp increase, but in the last six months it does | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
seem to have slowed down that bit. Some of this might be because of, | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
you know, slower employment growth overall in the economy, | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
or it could start to be that employers have seen the negative | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
press that this has kind of consistently gotten and started | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
to move away from these contracts. But for trade unions, | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
zero-hours are a scourge. We know that these contracts often | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
mean people don't know how many hours they are working from one week | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
to the next, they are also missing out on key rights that most people | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
would expect at work. So things like the right | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
to unfair dismissal, the right to return to the same job | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
after maternity or paternity leave, and although we know this type | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
of flexibility can work for a small number of people, many, | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
many of our members telling us it's But not all people | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
on zero-hours hate them. Nadine in Lincolnshire says | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
they allow her to work It gives me family | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
quality time as well. When my wife is at work, | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
I look after our little boy. And then when my wife | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
is on her four days off, I can... You know, I come in for two days | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
and I do two days' work, but then I also get two days | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
as a family. While the number of people | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
on zero-hours contracts has soared since 2014, | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
it's also levelled Employers say that zero-hour | :22:34. | :22:34. | |
contracts provide the flexibility that the British economy needs, | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
and that they prevented unemployment But rising numbers of people working | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
without the rights and protections that their colleagues have | :22:45. | :22:55. | |

drivers was introduced by Transport for London last year but the online | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
cab firm argued the level Websites that sell prescription | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
medicines can seem a tempting alternative to visiting a GP, | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
especially if you're having problems getting a suitable | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
doctor's appointment. But there's a warning | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
these online services That's according to the health | :23:40. | :23:40. | |
regulator in England, Faye Kirkland, a practising GP | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
and journalist, reports. Advances in technology change the | :23:46. | :24:03. | |
way we interact with our doctors. More than 40 online companies offer | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
perception services in a glib, but the CQC services say that these | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
could put patient at risk. On this website, no examination is | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
needed, just an online form that gets reviewed by one of their | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
doctors, and prescription medication delivered within 24 hours. The site | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
was suspended by the CQC a month ago, partly as a result of our | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
report into the sale of online antibiotics. Last year as part of an | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
investigation, we went on their website and order antibiotics. We | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
posed as a man and said we had had ear pain for just a couple of days. | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
Halfway through the form, they started asking us questions about | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
being a woman. This raises significant concerns about identity | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
checks. Then they said this medication through the post to treat | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
the ear pain. As a GP, I can tell you I have never given it that this | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
condition, as it simply wouldn't work. That drug wouldn't have killed | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
the bugs that typically cause ear infections. This finding worried the | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
CQC, the watchdog for online prescribing services. As a result, | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
they inspected HR health care who run the site, and another online | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
provider. The report is published today highlight concerns with both | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
firms, with the safety, inappropriate ascriptions and the | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
qualifications. HN I health care told us they are now working to | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
improve their processes, and the information we received was due to a | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
system glitch. Andy Dowie at has voluntarily cancelled as red as | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
Laois and. We have now looked at 11 providers, two of which have been | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
published today. And we are quite shocked about what we have found, | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
and indeed in those other providers we have also found some really | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
serious problems, and those reports will be published over the next few | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
weeks. For the first time, the CQC has published a clear set of | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
standards for these online providers. For example, they must | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
verify patients match their photo ID, get a comprehensive medical | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
history, and seek permission to contact a patient's GP. The CQC | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
would have inspected all 43 online services in England by the end of | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
this year. Some could be providing good care, but until then, the | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
message from the watchdog is clear. Take caution when buying online. | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
It's been documenting some of Britain's most important history | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
for generations past and present, and this weekend the Imperial War | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
Museum celebrates its one hundredth birthday. | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
Founded in London while the first world war was still being fought it | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
now has a museum in Salford as well - and Robert Hall is there. | :26:45. | :26:53. | |
Kate, it's a rare experience to stand in front of a fragment of the | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
Twin Towers, and then walk a few paces to see the gun that fired the | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
first shall of the First World War. But from the beginning, the Imperial | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
War Museum project has been about more than just objects. At its heart | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
are people touched by conflict. By the time George V opened | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
the Imperial War Museum in its first home at the ill-fated | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
Crystal Palace, he already The museum had begun collecting | :27:18. | :27:19. | |
exhibits while the battles of the First World War | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
was still raging. Well, this is one of | :27:24. | :27:25. | |
the ration books... From the outset, the founders set | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
out to involve the public. Appeals printed in ration | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
books brought a flood The idea was initially | :27:35. | :27:36. | |
that it was to be firstly a sort of memorial to the war, | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
but primarily it was to cover people's experiences in the war, | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
and that meant it covered everybody from the front-line soldier | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
to the munition factory The best way to illustrate how | :27:47. | :27:48. | |
the Imperial War Museums have changed since the first collections | :27:49. | :27:58. | |
were put together a century ago There are 100,000 exhibits, | :27:59. | :28:00. | |
but over 3 million documents, photos, recordings and films that | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
tell the human stories from events Here we are in the Cabinet room, | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
and that is Churchill's chair there. Now 91, she typed the plans for | :28:09. | :28:16. | |
D-Day here in Winston Churchill's bunker and she shook hands | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
with world leaders at the conference which debated | :28:24. | :28:25. | |
the post-war future of Europe. And now that they are working | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
like this one works, for instance, where everything is active | :28:31. | :28:38. | |
and you can open doors and, you know, drop down mines | :28:39. | :28:40. | |
and I don't know what else you can do, I mean, the whole place | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
was abuzz when I came in. But reflecting the sad procession | :28:44. | :28:46. | |
of conflicts still erupting around the globe and connecting | :28:47. | :28:49. | |
with today's young people The images of war and conflict that | :28:50. | :28:51. | |
children see on Hollywood movies or video games are very unusual | :28:52. | :29:00. | |
in that, you know, they will have bespoke knowledge of individual | :29:01. | :29:03. | |
weapons systems, they will think people can jump from a tank | :29:04. | :29:05. | |
to a plane to an infantry officer and there is no understanding that | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
that is not reality. In Salford, every day | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
brings a chance to reflect Once an hour the museum is filled | :29:15. | :29:17. | |
with the faces and voices of those who lived through an experience | :29:18. | :29:27. | |
we can only share at a distance. The story which began | :29:28. | :29:30. | |
a century ago has no ending. Just a couple more objects, the | :29:31. | :29:43. | |
steel sentry box which was designed to protect the fire watchers who | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
waited so bravely to deal with in Centurions falling on our cities | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
during the Blitz. And this, some people might recognise it, it is a | :29:53. | :29:55. | |
Trabant, I remember being in Berlin when the Wall came down and watching | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
hundreds of these reeves did exhaust smoke coming from the former East | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
Germany full of excited Germans celebrating what they believe to be | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
a moment of liberation. So just two stories among so many. | :30:10. | :30:12. | |
So many indeed, thank you, Robert. Thoughts turn to the weekend, and | :30:13. | :30:25. | |
don't blame the messenger! Whilst there will be some drier and | :30:26. | :30:28. | |
brighter spells this weekend, there will be some spells of rain around | :30:29. | :30:32. | |
as well, and we have rain in many areas through today. This picture | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
was taken earlier on in Warwickshire, where the rain was | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
probably at its heaviest, and you can see from the picture we have a | :30:40. | :30:46. | |
lot of cloud. It is moving its way slowly northwards across England and | :30:47. | :30:51. | |
Wales and into Northern Ireland. Another picture in Dorset showing | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
the weather has cleared away, and the cloud looks a little thinner. | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
But as the wind picks up in the south-west and Wales, we could blow | :31:00. | :31:09. | |
in some further showery bursts of rain. Milder air as you head | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
northwards as the rain moves through the North of England, feeling quite | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
gerry-macro for Northern Ireland with this more persistent rain. | :31:19. | :31:23. | |
Scotland looks largely dry, the best of the sunshine across the northern | :31:24. | :31:25. | |
half of Scotland, and this weather watcher picture highlights the | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
difference, this was taken earlier on today in Lerwick. It won't be as | :31:30. | :31:36. | |
cold in northern Scotland tonight because all of this cloud is moving | :31:37. | :31:39. | |
northwards and taking wet weather into Scotland, we keep the | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
persistent rain going in Northern Ireland. There will be some showery | :31:44. | :31:51. | |
bursts of rain from time to time. As you can see, there is a lot of blue | :31:52. | :31:54. | |
on the map, and that will continue to be the case on Saturday. We have | :31:55. | :32:00. | |
this rain continuing, the wind off the sea, some snow over the | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
mountains, further rain for Northern Ireland and northern England for a | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
time, rain threatening eastern coastal counties of England, but the | :32:08. | :32:11. | |
rest of England and Wales, a little brighter, maybe a hint of sunshine, | :32:12. | :32:18. | |
but few showers not far away. And not just rain, we have snow across | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
other parts of Europe. A metre of snow possible in the Alps, that | :32:23. | :32:26. | |
could bring some disruption and it may lead to avalanches as well. Low | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
pressure on our shores, two, moving further north on Sunday, so some | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
changes. Not as wet for Scotland or Northern Ireland, but maybe some | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
stronger winds will blow in bands of rain with a hint of sunshine in | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
between. Very unsettled weather. Will this continue into next week? | :32:44. | :32:49. | |
Broadly speaking yes, drier on Monday, but there is a chance of | :32:50. | :32:51. | |
rain across some parts of England and Wales. Another band of rain | :32:52. | :32:56. | |
coming in again on Tuesday. A reminder of our | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
main this lunchtime. Pilot error caused the Shoreham air | :33:02. | :33:12. | |
crash which killed 11 men. Theresa May accuses the SNP of neglecting | :33:13. | :33:16. | |
public services in Scotland because of its accession with the issue of | :33:17. | :33:18. | |
independence. That's all from the BBC News at One, | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
so it's goodbye from me, | :33:22. | :33:25. |
