the baby twins born joined together who've now been separated in an | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
emergency operation. Rosie and Ruby had a rare condition that meant | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
they were attached at the stomach and shared several body parts. It's | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
a really rare condition and so it's pretty dangerous to try and | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
separate them, but a problem meant they had to go ahead with surgery | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
to save their lives. Rosie and Ruby enjoying a bit of motherly love, | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
just like any newborn baby. But they start to life is very | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
different to most. Their condition is really rare, with only around | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
one in 100,000 children born joined together. It happens when the baby | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
is developing inside their mum's tummy. Sometimes an egg breaks | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
apart to make two babies, identical twins, but in a few cases they | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
don't part completely, leaving them attached. After the baby's -- often | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
babies born this way don't survive. The one operating on such tiny | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
babies and are also dealing with structures that are crucial for | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
life. I think it must be very difficult surgery, and that's why | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
sadly lots of babies dumped naked, so Woods won the Pollit pair have | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
been separated successfully. girls were treated at the Great | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Ormond St Hospital in London. Surgeons there are experts in this | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
type thing. In 2009, Rital and Ritage Gaboura, who were joined at | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
the head, were successfully separated. And five years before, | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf were also treated there. Even with | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
expert help though, the girls' parents were warned that Rosie and | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
Ruby might not survive. It was worrying. We kind of felt they were | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
signing their lives away. But if they didn't have it that could have | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
been just as risky. In some cases conjoined babies share some much of | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
their bodies they can't be separated but can go on to live | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
long lives together. Ronnie and Donnie from America are the oldest | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
conjoined twins at 60 years-old. Rosie and Ruby can now grow up | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
independently. Although they are now making headlines around the | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
world, the chances are they won't be able to remember their | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
extraordinary start to life. Chelsea Captain John Terry's | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
revealed he won't appeal his four match ban for racially abusing | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Anton Ferdinand. The ex-England captain was charged by the FA two | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
weeks ago despite being cleared by a court in July. He had until today | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
to appeal but has accepted the punishment. He's always said he's | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
not racist but apologised for using bad language. Staying with sport, | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
things are going from bad to worst for Lance Armstrong, the cyclist | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
caught up in a massive cheating scandal. Three of the former Tour | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
de France winner's sponsors have dropped him after accusations he | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
lead the most successful drugs scam in sporting history. And those | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
accusations have caused a big stir in the world of cycling today. Team | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Sky have announced they're going to make all their riders sign a letter | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
saying they've never used drugs. Brit Bradley Wiggins is their big | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
star and will have to make the promise. Mark Cavendish was with | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
the team but has announced this afternoon he's joining another team. | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
And we know football stars get paid a lot of money. But it looks like | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
you've got to pay a high price to be a fan too. The cost of watching | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
live footy is going up, according to a new survey out today. It also | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
looked at how much you are being charged for pies, grins and | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
everything else that goes into a What better way to warm up at half- | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
time and a nice, warm cup of tea. Here in Manchester they got the | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
most expensive tea in the country, they are charging �2.50. At Oldham | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Athletic's a few miles down the road, it will cost you �1.70. We | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
know this from a new survey from BBC Sport. What we also know is the | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
cost of things like Tees, tickets, price and programmes is on the up. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
They studied 166 clubs in England and Scotland, including women's | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
football. Last season, the average price of the cheapest adult ticket | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
in England was �19.10. This season it is �21.24. That is a rise of | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
11.7 %. The study looked down all four divisions including the League | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
One's Oldham. Why do you think the cost of football is going up? | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
Mainly it's the wages for players demand. Your top players, they | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
demand higher wages and some of that money has to be brought back | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
into football. So what else do we know? The most expensive match-day | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
ticket is �126. That is at Arsenal. But in the women's Superleague, | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
tickets range from �4 to �6. And the cheapest cups of tea and pies | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
can be found in Alloa in Scotland, it's just 50p for a cup of tea | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
there. Because they're so much football being shown on TV now and | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
the cost of it in the stadiums is coming up, people might just not | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
turn up. It's a great danger. We see attendances falling in all of | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
the leaks. But it's not all bad news. Clubs like Oldham say they | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
understand football is expensive, so they put on special offers so | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
people can afford them. If you worry kid, you can get a season | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
ticket for a tenner. Lots of other clubs say they are doing the same | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
thing, as they try and make sure that the next generation of fans | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
:06:21. | :06:29. | ||
aren't driven away by rising prices. When eight-year-old Aron visited a | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
memorial to the famous Welsh prince Llywelyn, who died way back in 1282, | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
he was so disappointed about its poor state he wrote to the Welsh | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Government demanding they improve things. Yeah, the prince may have | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
died more than 700 years ago, but that didn't stop Aron riding in to | :06:43. | :06:53. | |
:06:53. | :06:53. | ||
In days of old when knights were bowled and Wales was separated from | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
the UK, there was a Welsh prince called Llywelyn, who fought to keep | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
it that way. He lost out in battle to the English King Edward, a big | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
turning point mackerel in history. Because ever since then the two | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
countries have been joined, but that's not the end of the story. | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
For 700 years, the place where he died had no shiny statute. It has | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
been left unloved until then Unite came forward, let's call him Aron | :07:18. | :07:28. | |
:07:28. | :07:30. | ||
of Wales. We were coming along and we went to see the place, it was a | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
terrible mess. After his visit, Aron was so shocked at the state of | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
the Prince's resting-place that he wrote to Wales' First Minister, | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
Carwyn Jones, and said it was a disgrace. The minister wrote back | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
and bowed more would be done to keep the Principles memory alive | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
because his story is an important one. We were pleasantly surprised | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
that Carwyn Jones has reacted so positively. This is an important | :07:54. | :08:03. | |
matter of principle. It is part of Wales' history. We should respect | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
that history. And so, by this tale of bravery and fighting for what | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
you believe in, Aron of Wales has followed in the footsteps of noble | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
prince Llywelyn. A big credit to Arun Nayer. What did you reckon | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
