A breakthrough in relations between Britain and Iran, | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
as the Iraq crisis deepens. Two and a half years | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
after it was ransacked, British staff will be sent back | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
to the embassy in Tehran. We will be reopening our embassy | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
in Tehran. Initially, this will be with | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
a small diplomatic team, but it is an important step forward in | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
our bilateral relations with Iran. In neighbouring Iraq, fierce clashes | :00:25. | :00:39. | |
between government troops and insurgents just 40 miles from the | :00:40. | :00:40. | |
capital. our bilateral relations with Iran. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
We will be asking what role Iran might play | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
in tackling the ISIS fighters in Iraq. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
Also tonight, a Court of Appeal victory means doctors must now | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
consult patients if they place a "do not resuscitate" order | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
on their notes. Inflation falls | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
to a four and a half year low, but prices are still rising faster | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
than wages. What's in your sausages? | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Warnings that there could be more diseased meat | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
because of changes at slaughterhouses. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
And maintaining Britain's waterways, after the winter floods, | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
the Government is criticised by MPs for not spending enough | :01:13. | :01:13. | |
to prevent them. On BBC London, the schoolboy who | :01:14. | :01:25. | |
died at an illegal rave is named. And guilty of faking her husband's | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
death, the company sentenced for an insurance scam. -- the couple. | :01:31. | :01:46. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
There has been a diplomatic breakthrough | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
in relations between Britain and Iran, as the Iraq crisis deepens. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
The Foreign Secretary, William Hague, has announced | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
that the British Embassy in Tehran is to reopen for the first time | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
since 2011 as he called on Iran to play a more positive role | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
in the volatile region. America is sending almost 300 | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
troops to Iraq to protect embassy staff there as ISIS-led fighters | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
continue to push towards Baghdad. The Islamist insurgents | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
have now come within just 40 miles of the capital. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
There was fierce fighting overnight, forcing many people | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
to flee their homes. In a moment, the latest from Iraq, | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
but first this report from our political editor, Nick Robinson. | :02:26. | :02:37. | |
What a difference three years can make. This was the British embassy | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
in Tehran in November 2011, a mob ransacked offices, smashed pictures | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
of the Queen, and chanted deaths to England. The building has been | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
closed ever since, but that is about to change, along with those -- this | :02:52. | :03:01. | |
country's relationship with Iran. It is right to rebuild that | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
relationship. We would be doing that anyway, irrespective of what is | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
happening in Iraq... But what is happening in Iraq has convinced the | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
West to improve relations with neighbouring Iran. These are | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
pictures of the Sunni extremist group ISIS which is now fighting | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
just 40 miles from Baghdad. This is the most serious threat to | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Britain's security that there is today. The number of foreign | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
fighters in that area, the number of foreign fighters, including those | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
from the UK who could try to return to the UK, this is a real threats to | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
our country. And this is the man Britain and the United States hope | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
they can do business with, the Iranian president, who used his | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Twitter account to show he is a different type of leader, a man who | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
watches his team play in the World Cup and tweets, proud of our boys. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
Our top stories, 300 American Armed Forces Day... This morning in | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
America people awoke to the news that they are having to think the | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
previously unthinkable. The history of the rift between the US and Iran | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
goes back to the Islamic Revolution in the capture of 52 American | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
hostages only freed after 444 days. Even without all that history, there | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
would be problems, not least this - Iran's nuclear programme. Peaceful, | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
they say, but others are not sure, and they expressed their doubts | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
about how far any new relationship should go. While we should welcome | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
the resumption of diplomatic relations and normalisation, isn't | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
it necessary to reassure our closest allies in the Middle East that there | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
are very severe limits for the foreseeable future as to the kind of | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
relationship we can have with Iran? Is it not going to be the kind of | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
relationship the West had with the Soviet Union during the Cold War? On | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
the streets of the Iranian capital, the British embassy Stanza, waiting | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
for the diplomats to return students here are not protesting today. This | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
one says good relations with the people in the countries of the world | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
can have a great positive effect on the advancement of our country. You | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
know the old saying, my enemy's enemy is my friend. It is a cliche, | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
of course, but that is because it has so often been proved true. Today | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
in Iran did not become a friend of Britain's, she certainly became a | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
little less of an enemy. Nick Robinson, BBC News, Westminster. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
In Iraq, the militant offensive has reached the outskirts of Baquba, | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
a city of around 500,000 people just 40 miles from Baghdad. | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
ISIS fighters and other armed groups are understood | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
to have attacked some of the suburbs overnight before being pushed back | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
by government forces. From Baghdad, | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Jonathan Beale reports. Iraqi forces are taking the fight | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
to the Sunni extremists. In Kirkuk, they were using tanks | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
to target ISIS fighters, but even heavy armour can't halt | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
the violence spreading through swathes of the country. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
We travelled out of Baghdad, north towards the city of Baquba, | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
the new front line for the ISIS jihadists and 60 kilometres away. | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
This is one of the main routes into Baghdad, | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
and behind me, about 30 kilometres in the distance, | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
is the city of Baquba, and we're told that ISIS forces | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
have already entered parts of the city. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
And, off course, if they take Baquba, then it's a clear route | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
into the capital. We went as far as we were told | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
it was safe to go, to meet Ali, who lives in Baquba. | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
So you're running away from ISIS? And he's witnessed the fighting. | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
He told me it was going to be a bloody fight | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
between Sunni and Shia, and he warned it would soon | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
be happening in Baghdad too. Ibrahim also had a narrow escape. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
Now back home with his family, he is a policeman injured | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
while fighting the Sunni extremists in Samarra, thankful that, | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
unlike some of his comrades, he's lived to tell the tale. | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
He says ISIS are ruthless. TRANSLATION: They shot at | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
the convoy, all civilians. One of them shot at the tyres of | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
the bus and killed everyone in it. The bus was carrying 24 men, | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
and they killed them all. Ibrahim doesn't believe that ISIS is | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
strong enough to take Baghdad, but today another bomb went off in the | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
city centre, killing three people. Even if ISIS have not yet | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
reached the city, there are signs that | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
their sympathisers are already here. Jonathan Beale, BBC News, Baghdad. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Our world affairs editor, John Simpson, is in Baghdad now. | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
What role can Iran play in trying to tackle the ISIS fighters in Iraq? | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
Well, I think it is true to say, Sophie, that Iran is the only | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
external country that can do anything here. It already | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
influencers the government in Iraq a great deal, too much, many people | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
say. By comparison, Britain, the United States are past players who | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
aren't doing anything here really very much, and all they can do is to | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
try to co-ordinated their views and put a little bit of pressure on Iran | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
to get it to do what they want. -- co-ordinated. But Iran is running | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
this as its game, and not as a British or American game. This city | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
doesn't really feel now quite so much as though it is about to fall. | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
I mean, last week was really difficult with three battalions of | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
the regular army just running for it. Things have stabilised now, and | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
although Baquba is only 35, 30 seven miles away, it nevertheless does | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
seem to be stabilising there a little bit. -- 37 miles away. And as | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
we heard, Baghdad is a very different and much more formidable | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
proposition, so people here are starting to hope that ISIS won't be | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
coming down this far. John Simpson in Baghdad, thank you. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
John Simpson, is in Baghdad now. The Court of Appeal has ruled that | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
a woman with terminal cancer had her human rights violated | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
because she was not consulted about a "do not resuscitate" | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
order placed in her medical notes. 63-year-old Janet Tracey died | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge three years ago. | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
The ruling means that patients in England, or their families, | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
should be consulted about whether or not to try to resuscitate them. | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
Here is Jon Brain. Everyday at hospitals across the | :09:45. | :09:58. | |
country, doctors face the dilemma of whether to resuscitate a dying | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
patient. Often they decide it is kinder not to even try. Admitted | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
with a broken neck and already suffering from terminal cancer, | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Janet Tracey was well aware she might never return home. But she was | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
devastated to discover that staff at Adam Brookes had put a "do not | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
resuscitate" notice in her records without consulting her. -- | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
Addenbrooke's. Today her family went to the Court of Appeal to hear three | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
judges ruled that the hospital had reached her human rights. It was | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
extremely distressing for my wife, she was in tears, and nobody should | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
have to go through that in hospital. You know, any hospital. | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
When Mum found out that the decision had been made without her | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
consultation, she was very upset, and the hospital also told her that | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
we have said it was OK for them to put the note in her file, and we | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
didn't. So it's very difficult to explain how upset she was. As she | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
lay in her hospital bed here, Janet Tracey had problems with her | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
breathing and found it difficult to talk, but she did write a note to | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
doctors showing she wanted to be consulted about her treatment. | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Please don't exclude me, it said. The hospital trust says it will now | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
carefully considered the implications of the day's judgment. | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Janet Tracey's family say they hope that no one else will have to go | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
through the same experience. She would have expected us to do | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
something in the light of her death to put things in place for others, | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
that was the person she was, she cared for others all her life. | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
Today's reeling does not mean that relatives will have the right to | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
demand that resuscitation of their loved ones has to be attempted, it | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
will be a decision for doctors alone, but it is a decision they | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
will have to convey to those affected. Jon Brain, BBC News, | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
Cambridge. Inflation has fallen to its lowest | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
level for four and a half years. It stood at 1.5% in May. | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
Supermarket price wars helped to push down on food prices, | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
and cheaper airfares also contributed to the lower rate. | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
But prices are still rising faster than wages, | :12:09. | :12:09. | |
as our economic correspondent, Simon Jack, reports. | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
After the races, the going for the economy seems officially good to | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
firm with further evidence that is not pushing prices up to fast. In | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
fact, thanks to cheap travel and food, inflation in May fell to its | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
lowest level in four and a half years, but is that being felt in | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
punters' pockets? We struggled in 2007 and 2008, but things are better | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
now. Up the economy is picking up, it is very positive, people have got | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
a few quid. Whether it is in Ascot or Aylesbury, prices are still | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
rising, just less quickly. The economy is growing at a rate we have | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
not seen before the big downturn, unemployment has fallen sharply, and | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
inflation is low, but prices are still rising more than wages, so is | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
it too soon to say that the big squeeze is over? I don't think the | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
pay rises are going up with inflation, I don't feel like I am | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
getting my money back in my wages. Everything seems to be high, bills | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
and everything, but wages don't go high. Last week, the Bank of England | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
warned it may raise interest rates this year to head off inflation, so | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
what would it make of these numbers? It is a bit of a pinch, but it is | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
low to be concerned, so interest rates will probably rise in the next | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
six to 12 months, but slightly later than we thought previously. One | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
thing, getting much less affordable is housing. Prices rose 99% on | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
average across the country, and by more than inflation in every part of | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
the UK. -- 9.9%. The betting is the Bank of England will tell us how it | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
intends to rain that in next week. The Chinese government has said it | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
wants to invest in a number of the UK's major infrastructure projects, | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
including high-speed rail and nuclear power stations. The | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
announcement was made as the Chinese Prime Minister signed a series of | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
trade deals in London. He is here on a three-day visit and met the Queen | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
at Windsor Castle this morning. Simon Jack, reports. | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
The United States says it has captured one of the key suspects | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
in the attack on its consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
two years ago. Gunmen stormed the diplomatic | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
compound and set it on fire, killing four Americans, including | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
the US ambassador, Chris Stephens. The Pentagon said that Ahmed Abu | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Khatallah was captured on Sunday and is now in American custody | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
outside Libya. An investigation team has been | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
set up in Scotland to try to help parents whose babies died find out | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
what happened to their remains. It follows the scandal | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
at a crematorium in Edinburgh, where for decades staff secretly buried | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
or scattered the ashes of babies. The Scottish Government also says | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
new laws will be brought in to improve the way | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
remains are dealt with. But a BBC investigation has revealed | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
that the practice has been occurring across the UK, | :15:04. | :15:04. | |
as Lorna Gordon reports. the cremations of young and new-born | :15:05. | :16:09. | |
babies. In 2008 more than 1,000 sets of ashes were not returned to | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
parents. What has become clear is are the inconsistencies in the way | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
different crematoria deal with infants who have died. Sian | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
Marshall's son was stillborn. She got to hold him for a few hours, | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
dress him, tell him he was loved. She was also told there would be no | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
remains from his cremation and recently discovered ashes had | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
existed and were scattered without her knowledge. I was the one who | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
carried him and felt every niggle and gave birth. I wanted to decide | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
where his ashes went in the end. It's awful. There are moves no | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
change practices here in Scotland and a suggestion the law elsewhere | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
in the UK is also clarified in the hope no more families have to suffer | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
the same ordeal. Our top story this evening: | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
More than two years after it was attacked, Britain is to re-open | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
its embassy in Iran following a breakthrough in relations. | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
And still to come: At the World Cup, England insist | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
they're ready for the challenge and can beat Uruguay on Thursday. | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
Serving up a meal deal - the Surrey primary leading the way in how new, | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
healthier school lunches are prepared. | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
And for over 100 years it's been where Londoners have their say | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
- now Speakers Corner gets a makeover. | :17:33. | :17:44. | |
MPs have accused the Government of getting | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
its spending priorities wrong and not doing enough to maintain flood | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
defences in England and Wales. Record levels of rain fell | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
on parts of England and Wales last winter, making it | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
the wettest in more than 200 years. Around 7,000 properties were | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
flooded, with parts of Somerset under water for three months. | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
Although the Environment Agency says they did protect more than a | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
million properties, the MPs' report says current levels of maintenance | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
funding is at a "bare minimum". Our Science Editor, David Shukman, | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
joins us from Datchet in Berkshire, one of the areas worst affected. | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
Thank you, when the weather is this good, it is very easy to forget that | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
dreadfulp winter and all the flooding. It is this very spot, | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
beside the River Thames a few months ago, at the worst of the flooding | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
that the waters reached up about this high. The MPs on the Select | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
Committee want the Government to learn some lessons from this. In | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
particular, that it is not enough just to spend money on new flood | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
defences, you also have to look after them as well. | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
In the battedle against flooding, clearing even a small screen can | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
make a small difference. Up and -- a big difference. Twaems are at work | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
up and down the country but the Select Committee says not enough is | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
being done. It is hard to believe a stream like this can possibly cause | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
any trouble but if it gets blocked and there is heavy rain, the water | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
level rises and causes flooding nearby. The MPs say while it is | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
vital for the country to keep investing in flood defences and | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
barriers, it is just as important to spend more money on work keeping the | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
waterways flowing freely. The flooding of recent months came | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
during the wettest winter on record but a key factor was where flood | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
defences had been built in previous years and how well they had been | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
maintained. Had there been regular maintenance | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
and dredging of caught courses, over a period of time, the last 15 to 20 | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
years, not just the last three or four years, then it would have had | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
quite dramatic impact on resisting flooding. Over this current | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
five-year period, the Government has committed ?3.2 billion to preventing | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
flooding but spending on maintenance, which was ?170 million | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
two years ago, fell last year to 174 million. In the Somerset levels, | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
under water, the one thing people called for was for the rivers to be | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
dredged. under water, the one thing people | :20:18. | :20:18. | |
called for was for Experts said called for was for the rivers to | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
this wouldn't have helped much but the work has now started. People's | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
lives are so on edge at the moment. One drop of water and, you know, it | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
raises all hell of concerns. The water outside is always going to be | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
a major problem, so it is still a long way off from being sorted out. | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
The Government says it is spending as much as it can on flood | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
prevention despite fight Financial Times and is planning for the | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
climate to become more extreme. The fact is, though, there is no single | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
easy answer to floods. Cleaning streams won't be the answer on its | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
own but every option comes with a price too, which seems expensive, if | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
the sun is shining. The supermarket chain Morrisons is | :21:02. | :21:10. | |
to cut thousands of management jobs as part of a restructuring | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
of the way it runs its stores. 2,600 jobs will go, | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
many of them department managers. But Morrisons says it will create | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
4,000 jobs in new and smaller stores. | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
The chain posted an annual loss of ?176 million | :21:21. | :21:21. | |
in the year to February. in the year to February. | :21:22. | :21:34. | |
MPs have voted introduce mandatory jail terms for | :21:35. | :21:35. | |
people caught twice with a knife. adults would reef a minimum | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
six-month jail term on their second conviction for carrying a knife. The | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
measure was backed by most Conservatives and Labour MPs. The | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Liberal Democrats voted against the change. | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
people caught twice with a knife. Hygiene inspectors have told the BBC | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
that more diseased meat could end up in sausages and pies because | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
of changes to EU rules governing safety checks in slaughterhouses. | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
The new regulations are supported by Britain's Food Standards Agency | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
- but opposed by many of its 1,100 frontline inspectors. | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
Our Environment Correspondent, Claire Marshall, reports. | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
Another day at the office for the meat inspectors. | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
One medium-sized abattoir in Suffolk. | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
They examine each pig manually to see if it should be eaten. | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
But this method is now changing. It's not a pretty site. | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
We can't show you most of the process here. | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
But what happens in abattoirs is key. | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
Inspectors have always handled the meat but now they're being told | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
to stand back and try to spot disease just by looking at it. | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
It's unusual to be let inside a place like this, but | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
the owner wants to make a point. He believes that disease | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
will be missed. You could have | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
an abscess or arthritic joints missed, any lesions and abnormal | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
glands could end up in sausages and we don't want that to happen. | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
This isn't about your food becoming more risky to eat. | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
It's more about knowing if there is something unplesant on your plate. | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
Ron Spellman has 30 years experience and represents food | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
inspectors across Europe. Kew I won't be eating pork pies | :23:04. | :23:18. | |
and sausages from now on because even though it won't make me ill, | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
in all probability, it may, but probably not, I do not want that | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
kind of material - puss and parts of abscesses minced into my food. | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
But the Food Standards Agency says there | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
is science behind the shake-up. There is more awareness now - | :23:32. | :23:53. | |
where does our food come from and what exactly is in it? | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
Kew And you can hear | :23:56. | :24:07. | |
the full investigation into the slaughterhouse changes on "File | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
on Four", on BBC Radio 4 at 8.00pm. In Brazil, England are preparing | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
for their crucial match on Thursday against Uruguay. | :24:14. | :24:14. | |
There's plenty of speculation about the role that Wayne Rooney | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
might play - if any - following his performance at the weekend. | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
but there is growing excitement about radio heap Sterling. It is | :24:20. | :24:29. | |
said you can often learn more in defeat than in victory. In the race | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
of Raheem Sterling, defeat was a revelation. Fit to burst with | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
steepage exuberance, he announced himself on the world stage with a | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
performance that thrilled a much with aing nation. A performance, | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
largely responsible for the feelings of opt stitch that followed the | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
loss. It was obviously a dream come true for any young lad to make an | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
appearance in such a big tournament. When I was on the pitch I tried to | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
think of it as a normal game and not really think about the importance of | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
it and just try to express myself and do my best for the team. | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
Sterling's story began in jam aica. He moved to London as a child and | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
grew up in the shadow of Wembley Stadium, dreaming of playing for | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
England. He always had great skill and balance. To see him playing in | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
the number 10 role at such a young age, is incredible. I always thought | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
that would be his position, he can go left or right. I thought it would | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
take more time. It is amazing the fact he has played for England at | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
the World Cup. He made his Liverpool debut two years ago, to become their | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
second-youngest ever player and England coach and former defender | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
Gary Neville says he is an exciting prospect. If you are watching, you | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
think you cannot can't stop him, he can go left or right and he has | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
speed. Italian defenders were some of the best in the world E took them | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
into uncomfortable places the other night. A tattoo featuring his | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
two-year-old daughter features on his arm. | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
He has made his mark. He'll be hoping for a repeat performance. | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
Elder statesman of the squad, has said that the squad has been crying | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
out for youthful exuberance. Wayne Rooney has hit back at suggestions | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
from the press today that he was training away from the first team | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
yesterday because he is about to get dropped. He said on social media he | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
was simply doing his own extra training and he sometimes wonders | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
what the press are getting at. Time for the weather now with John | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
Hammond. Like Brazil in Scotland today. | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
Temperatures soaring up to 26. It hasn't been as sunny else where. | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
Showers in parts of central Scotland now drifting down through the | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
borders into Cumbria. Most of us will avoid these but it turns damp | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
later through central and eastern parts of England. A muggy night A | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
humid night, particularly across northern towns and cities. | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
Temperatures here staying in the high teens all night. Mo some | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
mistiness around, too. That muggy feel continues. | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
Hopefully the brightness developing here but the odd shower too. | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
Northern Ireland sharing in the sunshine but there could be light | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
showers in the eastern side of Scotland across the borders down | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
into the Pennines, maybe the high ground of Wales and south-west. | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
Fairly isolated but one or two quite sharp ones possible. That's it. Most | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
of us will avoid them entirely and stay dry with some sunshine. More | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
cloud around than today across southern and eastern areas. It'll | :27:50. | :27:52. | |
feel comfortable enough, though, if you are heading off to Ascot, for | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
example, cloudier skies. It will be cloudy again on Thursday but with | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
light winds and dry weather it should be OK, I think. Thursday will | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
be a fairly cloudy day across the country. A breeze come down from the | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
north. A cooling breeze, too. The odd shower around but again, most | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
places will be dry. That breeze will carry somewhat cooler conditions | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
down from the north, as I mentioned. It'll knock temperatures on the head | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
across northern and central areas. One more warm day across the south. | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
Temperatures into the mid-20s, potentially, the risk | :28:24. | :28:24. | |
across northern and central areas. One of the odd sharp shower. Looking | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
forward to the weekend. Drier weather to come. | :28:29. | :28:30. | |
