:00:52. > :00:57.the baby twins born joined together who've now been separated in an

:00:57. > :01:02.emergency operation. Rosie and Ruby had a rare condition that meant

:01:02. > :01:05.they were attached at the stomach and shared several body parts. It's

:01:05. > :01:09.a really rare condition and so it's pretty dangerous to try and

:01:09. > :01:16.separate them, but a problem meant they had to go ahead with surgery

:01:16. > :01:20.to save their lives. Rosie and Ruby enjoying a bit of motherly love,

:01:20. > :01:24.just like any newborn baby. But they start to life is very

:01:24. > :01:28.different to most. Their condition is really rare, with only around

:01:28. > :01:33.one in 100,000 children born joined together. It happens when the baby

:01:33. > :01:38.is developing inside their mum's tummy. Sometimes an egg breaks

:01:38. > :01:43.apart to make two babies, identical twins, but in a few cases they

:01:43. > :01:47.don't part completely, leaving them attached. After the baby's -- often

:01:47. > :01:50.babies born this way don't survive. The one operating on such tiny

:01:50. > :01:54.babies and are also dealing with structures that are crucial for

:01:54. > :01:58.life. I think it must be very difficult surgery, and that's why

:01:58. > :02:02.sadly lots of babies dumped naked, so Woods won the Pollit pair have

:02:02. > :02:05.been separated successfully. girls were treated at the Great

:02:05. > :02:09.Ormond St Hospital in London. Surgeons there are experts in this

:02:09. > :02:14.type thing. In 2009, Rital and Ritage Gaboura, who were joined at

:02:14. > :02:16.the head, were successfully separated. And five years before,

:02:16. > :02:19.Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf were also treated there. Even with

:02:19. > :02:26.expert help though, the girls' parents were warned that Rosie and

:02:26. > :02:30.Ruby might not survive. It was worrying. We kind of felt they were

:02:30. > :02:34.signing their lives away. But if they didn't have it that could have

:02:34. > :02:37.been just as risky. In some cases conjoined babies share some much of

:02:37. > :02:41.their bodies they can't be separated but can go on to live

:02:41. > :02:47.long lives together. Ronnie and Donnie from America are the oldest

:02:47. > :02:50.conjoined twins at 60 years-old. Rosie and Ruby can now grow up

:02:50. > :02:54.independently. Although they are now making headlines around the

:02:54. > :02:56.world, the chances are they won't be able to remember their

:02:56. > :02:59.extraordinary start to life. Chelsea Captain John Terry's

:02:59. > :03:02.revealed he won't appeal his four match ban for racially abusing

:03:02. > :03:07.Anton Ferdinand. The ex-England captain was charged by the FA two

:03:07. > :03:10.weeks ago despite being cleared by a court in July. He had until today

:03:10. > :03:16.to appeal but has accepted the punishment. He's always said he's

:03:16. > :03:19.not racist but apologised for using bad language. Staying with sport,

:03:19. > :03:23.things are going from bad to worst for Lance Armstrong, the cyclist

:03:23. > :03:26.caught up in a massive cheating scandal. Three of the former Tour

:03:26. > :03:33.de France winner's sponsors have dropped him after accusations he

:03:33. > :03:37.lead the most successful drugs scam in sporting history. And those

:03:37. > :03:40.accusations have caused a big stir in the world of cycling today. Team

:03:41. > :03:44.Sky have announced they're going to make all their riders sign a letter

:03:44. > :03:47.saying they've never used drugs. Brit Bradley Wiggins is their big

:03:47. > :03:54.star and will have to make the promise. Mark Cavendish was with

:03:54. > :03:58.the team but has announced this afternoon he's joining another team.

:03:58. > :04:02.And we know football stars get paid a lot of money. But it looks like

:04:02. > :04:08.you've got to pay a high price to be a fan too. The cost of watching

:04:08. > :04:12.live footy is going up, according to a new survey out today. It also

:04:12. > :04:20.looked at how much you are being charged for pies, grins and

:04:20. > :04:24.everything else that goes into a What better way to warm up at half-

:04:24. > :04:30.time and a nice, warm cup of tea. Here in Manchester they got the

:04:30. > :04:34.most expensive tea in the country, they are charging �2.50. At Oldham

:04:34. > :04:38.Athletic's a few miles down the road, it will cost you �1.70. We

:04:38. > :04:43.know this from a new survey from BBC Sport. What we also know is the

:04:43. > :04:47.cost of things like Tees, tickets, price and programmes is on the up.

:04:48. > :04:51.They studied 166 clubs in England and Scotland, including women's

:04:51. > :04:59.football. Last season, the average price of the cheapest adult ticket

:04:59. > :05:04.in England was �19.10. This season it is �21.24. That is a rise of

:05:04. > :05:09.11.7 %. The study looked down all four divisions including the League

:05:09. > :05:16.One's Oldham. Why do you think the cost of football is going up?

:05:16. > :05:19.Mainly it's the wages for players demand. Your top players, they

:05:19. > :05:23.demand higher wages and some of that money has to be brought back

:05:23. > :05:29.into football. So what else do we know? The most expensive match-day

:05:29. > :05:35.ticket is �126. That is at Arsenal. But in the women's Superleague,

:05:35. > :05:39.tickets range from �4 to �6. And the cheapest cups of tea and pies

:05:39. > :05:43.can be found in Alloa in Scotland, it's just 50p for a cup of tea

:05:43. > :05:46.there. Because they're so much football being shown on TV now and

:05:46. > :05:53.the cost of it in the stadiums is coming up, people might just not

:05:53. > :05:57.turn up. It's a great danger. We see attendances falling in all of

:05:57. > :06:00.the leaks. But it's not all bad news. Clubs like Oldham say they

:06:00. > :06:04.understand football is expensive, so they put on special offers so

:06:04. > :06:07.people can afford them. If you worry kid, you can get a season

:06:07. > :06:11.ticket for a tenner. Lots of other clubs say they are doing the same

:06:11. > :06:21.thing, as they try and make sure that the next generation of fans

:06:21. > :06:29.

:06:29. > :06:33.aren't driven away by rising prices. When eight-year-old Aron visited a

:06:33. > :06:36.memorial to the famous Welsh prince Llywelyn, who died way back in 1282,

:06:36. > :06:39.he was so disappointed about its poor state he wrote to the Welsh

:06:39. > :06:43.Government demanding they improve things. Yeah, the prince may have

:06:43. > :06:53.died more than 700 years ago, but that didn't stop Aron riding in to

:06:53. > :06:53.

:06:53. > :06:57.In days of old when knights were bowled and Wales was separated from

:06:57. > :07:02.the UK, there was a Welsh prince called Llywelyn, who fought to keep

:07:02. > :07:06.it that way. He lost out in battle to the English King Edward, a big

:07:06. > :07:09.turning point mackerel in history. Because ever since then the two

:07:09. > :07:14.countries have been joined, but that's not the end of the story.

:07:14. > :07:18.For 700 years, the place where he died had no shiny statute. It has

:07:18. > :07:28.been left unloved until then Unite came forward, let's call him Aron

:07:28. > :07:30.

:07:30. > :07:35.of Wales. We were coming along and we went to see the place, it was a

:07:35. > :07:39.terrible mess. After his visit, Aron was so shocked at the state of

:07:39. > :07:42.the Prince's resting-place that he wrote to Wales' First Minister,

:07:43. > :07:46.Carwyn Jones, and said it was a disgrace. The minister wrote back

:07:46. > :07:50.and bowed more would be done to keep the Principles memory alive

:07:50. > :07:54.because his story is an important one. We were pleasantly surprised

:07:54. > :08:03.that Carwyn Jones has reacted so positively. This is an important

:08:03. > :08:07.matter of principle. It is part of Wales' history. We should respect

:08:08. > :08:14.that history. And so, by this tale of bravery and fighting for what

:08:14. > :08:18.you believe in, Aron of Wales has followed in the footsteps of noble

:08:18. > :08:24.prince Llywelyn. A big credit to Arun Nayer. What did you reckon

:08:24. > :08:28.about my poetry? For those of you who weren't watching this morning,

:08:28. > :08:35.we have a very special announcement. The results of one of the biggest

:08:35. > :08:41.awards going are... I can officially announced that the

:08:41. > :08:48.winner... Or you are loving this. Of the best roundabout in Britain
