:00:14. > :00:24.For last time it did my make-up by ended up looking like Dracula.
:00:24. > :00:37.
:00:37. > :00:47.pop this on for me. There we are. Well, sadly, I didn't make the rock
:00:47. > :00:49.
:00:49. > :00:56.god grave, because there is only one Gene Simmons! And there you are.
:00:56. > :01:05.I must handed to you. Even for the male of the species, you actually
:01:05. > :01:10.looked quite nice! He did have a bit of a strike on the earlier on.
:01:10. > :01:16.I do not know how you say this... On that note, do you prefer wearing
:01:16. > :01:21.no make-up and been it in that character, or as you are now?
:01:21. > :01:25.and yes. Getting up on stage and being at the robot, the living
:01:25. > :01:33.legend, is one thing, and it is also nice to get off and hang out
:01:33. > :01:40.with you. How did you feel? I felt like a rock god. I thick make-up
:01:40. > :01:45.has its time. Women understand it. At night, when it is time to be
:01:45. > :01:51.self empowered, they put on their make-up, high heels... How do you
:01:51. > :01:55.feel? I like a bit of make-up. Not as much as you. Do you put it --
:01:56. > :02:03.pull it off before you go to bed? Your wife Shannon it is in tonight.
:02:03. > :02:11.Do you prefer Jean it with his make-up or without? I like him just
:02:11. > :02:18.the way he is. I am a greasy one. This make-up conversation has gone
:02:18. > :02:27.on a long time! You started it! I just work here. Anything in this
:02:27. > :02:31.water? No, just the water. It is four days and tell Matt starts his
:02:31. > :02:37.rickshaw ride, and we are asking you what you're doing to raise
:02:37. > :02:42.money for Children in Need. Gene is going to do his bit by hopping into
:02:42. > :02:48.my rickshaw a bit later on with one of his newest fans. He is just
:02:48. > :02:52.arriving. Hopefully he will be here on time! All will be revealed.
:02:52. > :02:55.Across the country, complaints against nurses are for allegedly
:02:56. > :02:59.delivering poor quality care are on the rise. A survey of nurses
:02:59. > :03:03.themselves shows many feel they no longer have the time to look after
:03:03. > :03:08.people properly, so what is going on? Anita Rani has been to
:03:08. > :03:16.Manchester. A report today shows how some
:03:16. > :03:23.people are neglected by nurses. Widespread concerns across the
:03:23. > :03:29.NHS... There was no care there. No dignity, no respect, no end the
:03:29. > :03:33.siege -- empathy... There was a term -- a time when nurses could do
:03:33. > :03:38.no wrong, but now, patients are complaining that that perception is
:03:39. > :03:46.a far cry from reality. So how is it that a profession once so highly
:03:46. > :03:53.regarded is now so heavily under fire? I have come to a hospital in
:03:53. > :03:58.Manchester to find out what being an nursed really means into a's NHS.
:03:58. > :04:01.-- in today's NHS. This support manager has been a nurse for nearly
:04:01. > :04:06.50 years and has seen a lot of changes, particularly in the way
:04:06. > :04:11.nurses are trained. It is more academic than when I first did my
:04:11. > :04:16.training. You didn't need to go to university like you do now. It was
:04:16. > :04:22.based a generally in the School of Nursing, it was more practical,
:04:22. > :04:26.more ward based. What makes a good nurse? You have got to want to be
:04:26. > :04:31.an nurse, you can't just say, I will do my nursing degree. It is
:04:31. > :04:37.hard, it is unsocial sometimes, and there is a lot of pressure from all
:04:37. > :04:45.directions. You have got to be a certain type of person, and you
:04:45. > :04:50.can't always get back at university. Sarah O'Brien qualified as an nurse
:04:50. > :04:54.and last year. Our student nurses prepared for just how stressful the
:04:54. > :04:57.job is? I think they have a good idea before they go into the
:04:57. > :05:02.profession, there is a lot in the media about the pressures of
:05:02. > :05:07.Nursing. I'm not sure they know how stressful it is and how challenging
:05:07. > :05:11.it can be when they start. Nursing is known as the caring profession,
:05:11. > :05:15.but last month one survey of nurses revealed more than half feel they
:05:15. > :05:20.are too busy to provide the level of care they would like. We know
:05:20. > :05:24.that nurses don't set-off to be uncaring, we need to find out what
:05:24. > :05:28.is changing somebody who wants was compassionate into somebody who is
:05:28. > :05:32.tired and sometimes not as compassionate as we would wish, or
:05:32. > :05:38.they would wish. There has been so much in the press about nurses
:05:38. > :05:42.lacking compassion, have you seen evidence of that? The majority of
:05:42. > :05:50.nurses, the ones I work with, work very hard under trying
:05:50. > :05:56.circumstances, and the patient is always the focus of their attention.
:05:56. > :06:01.Despite how busy the award is, I always find time to talk to my
:06:01. > :06:05.patients and show that bit of compassion -- of the ward.
:06:05. > :06:10.standard of care is so good here that they have been nominated for a
:06:10. > :06:14.national award, and patients are full of praise. The care, the skill,
:06:14. > :06:17.and the determination that these nurses have got, I don't know where
:06:18. > :06:22.we would be without people like that. They are worth their weight
:06:22. > :06:26.in gold. So why does the nursing profession attract so much
:06:26. > :06:29.criticism? It has been claimed that part of the problem lies in the
:06:29. > :06:33.increase in health care assistants. To the public, they may look like
:06:33. > :06:38.nurses, but unlike nurses, they don't have to be trained all
:06:38. > :06:43.registered. We are finding that the brochure is changing as people
:06:43. > :06:47.tried to save money. Some are excellent, and some hospitals will
:06:47. > :06:50.train at them, they will get qualifications. But we have other
:06:50. > :06:55.areas where they are not getting the training, they can arrive on
:06:55. > :06:59.the board in the first day, watch what is going on. We believe that
:06:59. > :07:04.is part of the workforce that needs regulating and they need a minimum
:07:04. > :07:08.levels of training. They are a valuable member of the team,
:07:08. > :07:12.however, when the skill mix is the wrong way round, we find that the
:07:12. > :07:17.care can suffer. Many, including Maxine, believe the real issue
:07:17. > :07:24.stems from a culture that puts cost cutting above care. I think the NHS
:07:24. > :07:29.and the more senior people, I don't mean nurses,... We are dealing with
:07:29. > :07:33.human beings here. Because of the financial pressures, sometimes they
:07:33. > :07:36.are losing sight of that. With more cuts on the way, it is hard to see
:07:36. > :07:40.how this job will get any easier, but from what I have seen today,
:07:40. > :07:44.there is a real determination to change public perception and
:07:44. > :07:49.provide patients with the level of care they expect in spite of the
:07:49. > :07:53.challenges. Anita, we heard you talk about
:07:53. > :07:57.health care assistants and nurses. What is the difference? Mainly,
:07:57. > :08:02.they are not trained nurses. There is no code of conduct. But they
:08:02. > :08:06.have been around for ages. They are called clinical assistants,
:08:06. > :08:13.auxiliary nurses, and the jobs that they have differed depending on
:08:13. > :08:17.their experience. Basic nursing, feeding patients, cleaning the ward,
:08:17. > :08:25.to changing catheters, but they will never make a clinical decision.
:08:25. > :08:29.Also, their wages are a lot lower than nurses. They go up to 18,000.
:08:29. > :08:34.Complaints against nurses and midwives are up 50%. Why do you
:08:34. > :08:39.think that is, and what is being done to improve standards? Nurses
:08:39. > :08:44.think it is due to short staffing. A report by the RCN showed that
:08:44. > :08:49.there was a direct link between staff and levels and patient health.
:08:49. > :08:54.In California and in Victoria in Australia they have mandatory
:08:54. > :08:58.ratios, and they have very positive results. If you're patient deaths.
:08:58. > :09:03.The RCN have been pushing this through the House of Lords, they
:09:03. > :09:07.want the same thing to happen here, mandatory staffing levels that are
:09:07. > :09:11.enforced by law. The Department of Health said they want to free up
:09:11. > :09:19.nurses by reducing the amount of bureaucracy, and make it easier for
:09:19. > :09:27.them to come forward if they feel there is a complaint. Gene, have
:09:27. > :09:31.you ever required any nursing assistants, after doing this?
:09:31. > :09:37.course, I have caught my hair on fire a few times. But in all
:09:37. > :09:42.seriousness, the answer to most national healthcare issues is to
:09:42. > :09:46.privatise a certain segment of it, so that it gives a competitive
:09:46. > :09:49.level, you can take the number of dollars the government spends on
:09:49. > :09:56.something and be it to private companies, you will find the
:09:56. > :10:01.quality goes way up. But the unions on the side, let Cabot doesn't do
:10:01. > :10:05.what it does best. The very contentious, but we will get you
:10:05. > :10:12.involved in the discussion! It did look pretty explosive, which you
:10:12. > :10:16.were doing? It is my job, I wouldn't recommend it. Marty Jopson
:10:17. > :10:25.has been to Ayrshire to find out how one man's dynamite idea changed
:10:25. > :10:31.It is fair to say that most of Britain's industrial landscape
:10:31. > :10:37.emerged from the countryside with a bang. In the mid- 19th century, one
:10:37. > :10:44.man was to change the way and the scale we blow things up. This is
:10:44. > :10:54.Ayrshire. It was here that Alfred Nobel came to manufacture one of
:10:54. > :10:57.history's most world changing inventions, dynamite. This man is a
:10:57. > :11:02.director at the explosives company that now operates on this historic
:11:02. > :11:06.site. How did he get into blowing things up? His father had been in
:11:06. > :11:12.the business of blowing things up most of his life. He went on to
:11:12. > :11:17.study, and met up with a chap who had invented nitroglycerine. He was
:11:17. > :11:22.initially trying to look at the properties of nitroglycerine.
:11:22. > :11:26.it had another property, it was hugely explosive. Would you
:11:26. > :11:30.detonate nitroglycerine, it produces a huge volume of hot gas
:11:30. > :11:34.very quickly, and that gives you a massive increase in pressure. It is
:11:34. > :11:39.the pressure that causes the explosion. This is exactly how
:11:39. > :11:45.gunpowder works as well. But nitroglycerine produces 75 times
:11:45. > :11:51.more pressure than gunpowder. This was the beginnings of the age of
:11:51. > :11:56.high explosives. No bill started manufacturing what he called
:11:57. > :12:01.blasting oil in the 1860s. But it had a major problem. Nitroglycerine
:12:01. > :12:06.is extremely dangerous and sensitive. In fact, it would
:12:06. > :12:11.explode without warning. Making it was fraught with danger. A Nobel's
:12:11. > :12:15.own brother died in a nitroglycerine explosion. It is so
:12:15. > :12:24.sensitive, it cannot be pumped, so Nobel used to the natural condors
:12:24. > :12:27.of these sand dunes to solve the problem. It was allowed to float
:12:27. > :12:32.gently down specially constructed lead troughs. If it was difficult
:12:32. > :12:36.enough to make it, nobody was going to buy such an unpredictable
:12:36. > :12:45.explosive. Nobel's answer was to mix the nitroglycerine with
:12:45. > :12:51.something else. He used this stuff. This is fossilised algae. It is an
:12:51. > :12:55.increase of -- incredibly fine clay. He had invented dynamite! Not going
:12:55. > :13:00.off in a customer's hand was a great selling point, and production
:13:00. > :13:06.boomed. He opened factories in 12 countries, including the one which
:13:06. > :13:13.became the largest in the world by 1900, supplying the world's
:13:13. > :13:18.industry, but London Underground, the railways, the Suez Canal. All
:13:18. > :13:24.possible because of dynamite. Dr Iain Mackintosh is a licensed
:13:24. > :13:30.explosives boffin. So this is clearly not a stick of dynamite?
:13:30. > :13:35.this is a stick of dynamite, this a -- that is a cutting charge, which
:13:35. > :13:42.is a development from the basic principles of dynamite, but using
:13:42. > :13:47.modern explosives for space -- it.. Ian is testing a new charge to see
:13:47. > :13:57.if it can cut through an inch of steel. I guess we better get it
:13:57. > :14:06.
:14:07. > :14:11.Oh, my word, look at that! You can really see how this would be useful
:14:12. > :14:15.for demolishing buildings. It is an amazing material. We often think
:14:15. > :14:20.that explosives are all about destroying things. And in fact
:14:21. > :14:24.Alfred Nobel himself was dubbed by the press as the merchant of death.
:14:24. > :14:32.This so upset him that he ploughed millions of his fortune into
:14:32. > :14:39.setting up the famous Nobel prizes. But for my money, his discovery of
:14:39. > :14:43.dynamite, high explosives, changed I could not have said it much
:14:43. > :14:49.better. People point to anything resulting in death and say it is
:14:49. > :14:53.bad, but dynamite is wonderful for humanity, it clears mountains and
:14:53. > :14:58.allows mankind to pick up a shovel and let them do that. You can pick
:14:58. > :15:03.up a dig and dig a hole or aim it at another human being. It is what
:15:04. > :15:08.we do with it. Dynamite was a wonderful too tool for mankind it
:15:08. > :15:13.improved our life. Pyre tech necks have been a massive part of your
:15:13. > :15:17.stage show? It is important. I am sick of tired of bands getting on
:15:17. > :15:23.stage and thinking they are doing a favour by putting on a show. We
:15:23. > :15:27.like to get up there and blow the be Jesus out of everything that
:15:27. > :15:32.they see! Look at that, is that their choice? It is their choice.
:15:32. > :15:39.We are there to do the bidding. We have had an e-mail from a fan
:15:39. > :15:45.asking if you are coming to the UK? Yes, of course. We are releasing
:15:45. > :15:51.our 1,000th studio album in the year. As well as a 4ft high monster
:15:51. > :15:57.book and a DVD and a 100-show worldwide tour. England is the
:15:57. > :16:01.mecca of rock Gods, we will be here. As well as your music, you are a
:16:01. > :16:07.businessman. You have a great amount of merchandise and spin-offs.
:16:07. > :16:11.We have lovely stuff here. This is Dave, he is our props man. He is
:16:11. > :16:17.dressing as weapon. There is good stuff here? There is
:16:17. > :16:21.everything. For the kids, for the grown-ups, we do everything from
:16:22. > :16:28.condoms to gas masks. This is family fun. Don't get too excited.
:16:28. > :16:36.We have ties and toys, literally thousands. We did a deal with Kiss
:16:36. > :16:46.and Hello Kitty. There is literally a huge roll-out
:16:46. > :16:51.of Kiss Hello Kitty. You are here to start the Rock
:16:52. > :16:57.awards? Yes, I am proud to say that Classic Rock Awards, I'm hosting it.
:16:57. > :17:01.It is going to be at the Roundhouse. I'm proud to be a keynote speaker
:17:01. > :17:06.at the London Business School. Showing young people that the world
:17:06. > :17:12.is not just in bobbings. It is Prague manage eic, you have to
:17:12. > :17:16.understand the nature of business. You are a massive inspiration to
:17:17. > :17:22.all ages of people. This little boy is obsessed with
:17:22. > :17:27.you. He is seven. This is his home- made consume for Hallowe'en.
:17:27. > :17:30.Get in! This is a younger version of you, this is three-year-old
:17:30. > :17:33.cliarf. He would really like to meet you.
:17:33. > :17:38.. Christopher, you are a powerful and attractive man.
:17:38. > :17:43.Indeed. What about this one here... Of course we love it when dogs look
:17:43. > :17:46.like their owners. Well, my ears are not quite that
:17:46. > :17:50.big. We found this one online.
:17:50. > :17:54.Somebody did that for real. That is in the a computerised thing.
:17:54. > :17:59.That is for real. Going back to that comment, I love
:17:59. > :18:01.it when people look like their dogs, if you are wondering what John
:18:01. > :18:06.Sergeant looks like, well, let's find out.
:18:06. > :18:10.I have come to Britain's first Bulldog modelling agency, to find
:18:10. > :18:16.out what it takes to become the best of British.
:18:16. > :18:20.What are we going to do today? We have invited the dogs to come to a
:18:20. > :18:24.casting session as models. What is the purpose? To promote the
:18:24. > :18:27.dog breed, also next year there will be so many national events
:18:27. > :18:33.that we think that the Bulldog is a particular icon for the British
:18:33. > :18:40.events, for the Olympics. Weighing in at over 50lbs,
:18:40. > :18:48.averaging 16 inches in length, is a inches in height and developing
:18:48. > :18:53.wrinkles at birth, the name derives from a 17th century spate of bull-
:18:53. > :18:58.bating. As the crowds gather, it is time for me to turn into a bull
:18:58. > :19:05.expert. You are looking for the most
:19:05. > :19:13.obedient dog. The one that responds well to commands.
:19:13. > :19:18.Sit! Ask him for your paw. Then a high five.
:19:18. > :19:23.High five! This is Nelly. She is unique.
:19:23. > :19:31.Is she nervous? No. He loves being the centre of attention.
:19:31. > :19:37.important is it for them to get a modelling contract? Obviously, very.
:19:37. > :19:42.Being top dog can be lucrative. An indemand Bulldog can make �150 for
:19:42. > :19:52.a magazine shoot. �300 for a TV mer shall and having more wrinkles
:19:52. > :19:53.
:19:53. > :19:59.makes the dog more valuable.. It is time for the judging to begin.
:19:59. > :20:04.Harry is 100% white. So, he thinks he is a polar bear? Archie is a
:20:04. > :20:10.real star model. It is confusing, isn't it? They all
:20:10. > :20:15.look alike after a while, don't they? I like the high five. George
:20:15. > :20:20.was born blind. Once you see the heads, that is it.
:20:20. > :20:25.Yes, the typical British look. Look what she is doing! I am pleased to
:20:25. > :20:35.say that we have found a brilliant Bulldog A clear winner, I think,
:20:35. > :20:39.
:20:39. > :20:45.in... Duke! # You're simply the best
:20:45. > :20:50.# Better than all the rest. # reason we chose Duke is because he
:20:50. > :20:55.is a good performer and looks good from almost every angle. Who knows
:20:55. > :21:03.what the future holds for Duke. Acting, modelling, advertising,
:21:03. > :21:12.there could be no stopping him! You're a massive dog fan, Gene,
:21:12. > :21:16.aren't you? Have been called one a few times, yes! We have our dog.
:21:16. > :21:24.We have a picture of you taking your friend Snippy for breakfast.
:21:24. > :21:32.Let's have a look. Can I have a steak sandwich and
:21:32. > :21:37.diet Coke. Hold on a second, Snippy, do you want a steak sandwich? Yes,
:21:37. > :21:44.make that two steak sandwiches. Is that it? Yeah, that's it.
:21:44. > :21:50.It sounds good, doesn't it? Snippy is often brighter than I am.
:21:50. > :21:56.We are so madly in love with our dogs. We have two cats. One is
:21:56. > :22:01.named Mao Tse-tung! Good name! those of you who are not students
:22:02. > :22:07.of history, the most photographed human being of the 2 20th century,
:22:07. > :22:11.it was Mao Tse-tung! This is important, can the cameras go down
:22:11. > :22:17.to my chest. I'm wearing something that means a lot to me. Instead of
:22:17. > :22:20.doing this as a fashion statement I wanted to say that my profound love
:22:20. > :22:23.and respect and admiration for the British Armed Forces, always
:22:23. > :22:27.remember the people that make your life possible. Right here.
:22:28. > :22:34.Thank you very much. OK. Well we think that we can top
:22:34. > :22:38.that, now, then, not that, Gene is riding a rickshaw, Matt's rickshaw
:22:38. > :22:43.later on. I am? You are sitting as a
:22:43. > :22:47.passenger. We will see how we get on later
:22:47. > :22:54.with a dog that loves a three- Wheeler. We saw him arriving
:22:54. > :22:57.earlier on. This is our 17-month- old St Bernard, Harley.
:22:57. > :23:01.The team brought in his own side car.
:23:01. > :23:07.This is a remarkable story. Let's see how they get on later on. As
:23:07. > :23:13.far as phrasing is concerned, if you are trying to push the envelope,

:23:40. > :23:47.I'm taking you through the English language, the fishy bits of jargon
:23:47. > :23:52.that pollutes the Irish Seas! N-the day we used terms on the radio,
:23:52. > :23:56.such as a lock stat. Meta data. on me.
:23:56. > :24:02.To me and my colleagues they would make sense, to anyone outside, I
:24:02. > :24:07.think they would be baffling. We are AWACS on a tide of Gibb rirb

:24:23. > :24:28.not. Good riddance! I've come ashore to meet language expert,
:24:28. > :24:32.Professor David Crystal. He thinks that used appropriately, jargon can
:24:32. > :24:37.work as a professional short-hand. There are two ways of looking at
:24:37. > :24:42.this, internally, to the point of which that the group that the
:24:42. > :24:47.jargon belongs. There it is valuable. If I can use one word
:24:48. > :24:51.that summarises ten words, that may save time and money. Where jargon
:24:51. > :24:58.gets a bad press is that people think that everyone thinks like
:24:58. > :25:00.them. They start to spout out the jargon to a general audience who
:25:00. > :25:05.don't know what they are talking about.

:25:45. > :25:52.means that kids get a good education if they go to school.

:26:02. > :26:07.have you triumphed? What has the progress been? No! It has done a U-
:26:07. > :26:14.turn and gone worse. I have had an open admission from lawyers, saying
:26:14. > :26:19.they have had so many situations because of the English language.
:26:19. > :26:23.Obama is crying out to say that they are going to make it illegal
:26:23. > :26:27.to put jargon in public information. That is what we should have here,
:26:27. > :26:32.the right to have plain English! There are more than 1 million words
:26:32. > :26:39.in the English language. Astonishingly, 80% of them relate
:26:39. > :26:44.to some form of technical jargon. Is there anything we can do to stop
:26:44. > :26:48.this proliferation of gobbledygook? Yes! Complain! Think of it from
:26:48. > :26:54.this point of view. I am the person rye writing the piece. Unless you
:26:54. > :26:57.say that I have written something that is not understandable, how am
:26:57. > :27:00.I going to know? One of the reasons that this stuff is out there is
:27:00. > :27:06.that people did not feed back in that way.

:27:30. > :27:35.Earlier on, Gene was the latest star turn to feature in our
:27:35. > :27:40.Rickshaw Challenge. Here he has a little bit of help from Pudsey and
:27:40. > :27:45.Harley. This is the dog leg. It is never easy going around the corner
:27:45. > :27:51.with the hound on board. What is going to happen? He has gone!

:28:01. > :28:10.leaderboard? We can reveal that Gene is at the very top of the
:28:10. > :28:15.leaderboard with 19.8 seconds. -- Gene.
:28:15. > :28:19.I have news for you Matt. Oh, yes, go on.
:28:19. > :28:29.We can reveal how much money you have raised so far, even before you
:28:29. > :28:36.have set foot on the rickshaw. Let's have another drum roll...
:28:36. > :28:41.�178,494! You are kidding me! pressure! I am shocked. Please,
:28:41. > :28:45.keep the donations coming. Matt said it would be great to get
:28:45. > :28:49.to �100,000. I can't believe it.
