:00:00. > :00:11.Tonight, what would you do for the perfect body? We meet one teenager
:00:12. > :00:18.so desperate to lose weight he's prepared to risk his life. Is it
:00:19. > :00:23.more dangerous to text and drive or drink and drive? Find out when I am
:00:24. > :00:27.put through my paces later in the show.
:00:28. > :00:35.That's all coming up on tonight's Inside Out with me, Mary Rhodes.
:00:36. > :00:39.Many of us try to lose a little bit of weight from time to time. Most of
:00:40. > :00:45.us who do wish there was an easy way to do it. But would you be tempted
:00:46. > :00:48.by a shortcut? Some people are taking a substance that's supposed
:00:49. > :00:53.to guarantee results but at what price? We have been investigating
:00:54. > :01:01.the so`called quick`fix that can be fatal.
:01:02. > :01:08.Being a former world champion boxer I certainly know what it takes to
:01:09. > :01:14.get into shape. But burning fat and building muscle just isn't easy.
:01:15. > :01:19.Bodybuilders knee too. Doing it right takes hard work. But it's why
:01:20. > :01:24.some cheat with drugs like steroids. And accord according to web chat
:01:25. > :01:30.there's another substance doing the rounds. This one burns fat. It's
:01:31. > :01:36.called DNP. This stuff heats you up, it makes you sweat and then it
:01:37. > :01:44.delivers its knockout blow. By killing people.
:01:45. > :01:47.Chris Mapletoft and Sarah Houston took DNP. He was working out. She
:01:48. > :01:51.was losing weight. Now their families are living life without
:01:52. > :01:54.them. I have spent most of my working life training in gyms which
:01:55. > :01:57.is why I want to know more about this substance and why people are
:01:58. > :02:05.taking chances with it. I am hoping Luke can help. He's been talking
:02:06. > :02:10.about DNP on a website forum. Luke's a Midlands teenager and a fitness
:02:11. > :02:14.fanatic. He's also been using DNP behind his parents' back. That's why
:02:15. > :02:19.he doesn't want us to show you his face. His name's not really Luke
:02:20. > :02:24.either. Luke, how long have you been
:02:25. > :02:28.bodybuilding for? I've been bodybuilding for three years now. Do
:02:29. > :02:32.you enjoy it? I love it, it's my lifestyle now. How did you get to
:02:33. > :02:36.hear about DNP? It was from this other bodybuilder. He was like an
:02:37. > :02:40.icon in Australia and I researched him and found out that he was using
:02:41. > :02:46.DNP so I thought if it worked for him, it might work for me. So
:02:47. > :02:51.someone in the sport of bodybuilding was taking it, he looked good? Yeah,
:02:52. > :02:55.he was like the physique that every teenager would want. That's what you
:02:56. > :03:00.wanted? Yeah, that's what I wanted at the time, yeah.
:03:01. > :03:06.It also gave Luke a reason to try it but what is DNP or dinitrophenol?
:03:07. > :03:10.The man in the know is a poisons expert so whatever it is, it doesn't
:03:11. > :03:15.sound good. Well, it's a chemical that's been around for probably just
:03:16. > :03:19.over 100 years or so. It's a precursor of TNT, an explosive and
:03:20. > :03:23.then later on mainly in the 1930s, it came into fashion as a weight
:03:24. > :03:32.loss agent, but fairly rapidly banned because of its toxicity.
:03:33. > :03:35.Normally when you eat food it gets metabolise eshgs d and the energy
:03:36. > :03:40.that's released gets stored within the body as a chemical and DNP stops
:03:41. > :03:44.that storage and the body has to find other ways of getting rid of
:03:45. > :03:48.that energy and it gets rid of it in the form of heat. Luke knows all
:03:49. > :03:53.about that. After the first three days my temperature like really went
:03:54. > :03:58.up really high. I started sweating constantly. So I had to have a fan
:03:59. > :04:05.around me every time wherever I was. Your breathing is like rapid, and
:04:06. > :04:09.you can't sleep because you're constantly sweating. But despite the
:04:10. > :04:17.horrific side`effects, Luke was still convinced it was worth it.
:04:18. > :04:23.It's also pretty easy to get hold of it. This company's based in Turkey.
:04:24. > :04:27.DNP for sale, rapid delivery. Luke had no problem finding it either. I
:04:28. > :04:32.already knew he had used it once, but now he is using it again. The
:04:33. > :04:38.side`effects, well, tell me about them. How bad were they? This time
:04:39. > :04:45.when I took it, it did give me more of an allergic reaction, as well. It
:04:46. > :04:51.was a heat rash. I had to go to A My heart rate increased and sweating
:04:52. > :04:56.got even worse. I was dehydrated. My lips were bleeding and when I mean
:04:57. > :05:01.dehydrated, I thought I was going to die. So DNP's clearly having a
:05:02. > :05:05.dramatic effect on Luke's body and I am getting more concerned he is not
:05:06. > :05:11.taking the risks seriously. Luke, I want to show you something. This is
:05:12. > :05:19.Chris, 18 years of age, keen sportsman. Took DNP and tragically
:05:20. > :05:24.lost his life. Here we have Sarah. A promising medical student. But again
:05:25. > :05:28.a tragic end. In fact, DNP has been linked to the
:05:29. > :05:33.deaths of all the people I am showing Luke here. Just looking at
:05:34. > :05:39.these, how does it make you feel? It makes me feel that they might not
:05:40. > :05:43.have been aware of the dosage, so that's why this could have occurred.
:05:44. > :05:47.It's not as bad a drug if you know what you are doing. I think that
:05:48. > :05:53.these people probably didn't have the correct dosage and didn't know
:05:54. > :05:58.about getting very dehydrated which would cause death.
:05:59. > :06:02.You are saying about the dosage, surely it's the poison they're
:06:03. > :06:08.putting in their mouths? It is that, as well, but if you put more dosage
:06:09. > :06:12.in, it's more poison towards you. Convincing Luke he is risking his
:06:13. > :06:15.life is proving much harder than I thought and I am also really
:06:16. > :06:19.concerned by how easily he managed to get hold of this stuff. I am even
:06:20. > :06:23.more shocked when our supply arrives.
:06:24. > :06:26.Packed into a small box with no instructions whatsoever. But more
:06:27. > :06:33.importantly, there's not a warning to say if you take these things they
:06:34. > :06:36.might just kill you. The Food Standards Agency is already
:06:37. > :06:39.talking tough. It can prosecute anyone caught selling DNP to burn
:06:40. > :06:45.fat but some websites are trying to get around that by warning people of
:06:46. > :06:49.the dangers. Putting a disclaimer on the bottle
:06:50. > :06:53.or the label doesn't cover you in any way. It's already illegal to
:06:54. > :06:56.sell this as a food supplement so the legislation is already there.
:06:57. > :07:00.It's already active. In terms of what we need to do to prosecute
:07:01. > :07:04.anyone that sells this or anyone trafficking it, the law is already
:07:05. > :07:08.provided for. But we still managed to get hold of
:07:09. > :07:12.DNP. Is the law working? We have already closed or altered 40
:07:13. > :07:17.websites around the world to stop this industrial chemical coming in
:07:18. > :07:21.and being used for people. Geoff and Gina Houston say that's
:07:22. > :07:25.not enough. Their daughter Sarah died after taking DNP and like
:07:26. > :07:30.Luke's parents didn't know she was taking it. If I can't stop Luke, I
:07:31. > :07:34.am hoping her grieving parents can talk some sense into him. Tell me
:07:35. > :07:41.about Sarah, what kind of a girl was she? She loved life. She loved to
:07:42. > :07:46.have fun with her friends. She was passionate about her medicine. She
:07:47. > :07:52.would have made an exceptional doctor. When did you find out then
:07:53. > :07:57.she was taking DNP? We found out after she died. The police found a
:07:58. > :08:04.brown envelope of pills in her room. It was only about three months later
:08:05. > :08:10.that we found out they were DNP capsules. I brought Luke along who's
:08:11. > :08:15.been taking DNP. What advice can you give him? Luke, over what period of
:08:16. > :08:19.time had you been taking DNP and what sort of side`effects did you
:08:20. > :08:25.have from taking it? Heavy breathing and sweat sweating throughout the
:08:26. > :08:31.night, not being able to sleep. Did that frighten you, scare you? Yeah.
:08:32. > :08:34.Did you go to hospital? When I had my allergic reaction that's when I
:08:35. > :08:37.went to hospital. You realise in hospital there's nothing they can do
:08:38. > :08:41.to help you. Once you have taken it, it's a completely irreversible
:08:42. > :08:47.reaction. Once it starts working, there's nowhere to go. It's
:08:48. > :08:54.horrendous, so that's why... It is what killed our daughter. And we
:08:55. > :08:57.loved her very much. Geoff and Gina's message to Luke is
:08:58. > :09:01.deliberately blunt. But they also want the Home Secretary to sit up
:09:02. > :09:04.and listen. That's why we are here in front of the cameras saying,
:09:05. > :09:08.look, guys if you are taking it, you have got to stop it because your
:09:09. > :09:15.life's in danger. But also that's why we want to appeal to Theresa May
:09:16. > :09:25.in terms of getting it reclassified because it raises the Met abottlic
:09:26. > :09:28.rate and is `` metabolic rate and is incredibly dangerous and therefore
:09:29. > :09:34.should be a controlled substance. Their MP is also backing them. I
:09:35. > :09:38.have written to the Home Secretary. This is not a drug to be used to
:09:39. > :09:42.control body weight. It can be lethal and is proving to be
:09:43. > :09:46.increasingly lethal because we have seen this increase in deaths. While
:09:47. > :09:57.changes to the law will take time, Geoff and Gin A's meeting with Luke
:09:58. > :10:00.has `` Gina's meeting with Luke has already made a difference. Yeah, I
:10:01. > :10:05.am going to stay away. What they said about their daughter when she
:10:06. > :10:08.passed away, they didn't know what killed her. It was an unexplained
:10:09. > :10:11.death and that's quite scary. It seems Luke has learned his lesson in
:10:12. > :10:17.time. Other users haven't been so lucky.
:10:18. > :10:21.I do hope that Luke sticks to his word. If you would like advice on
:10:22. > :10:29.how to lose weight safely, there's more information on our website.
:10:30. > :10:35.Next, from diets to dangerous driving. In a recent survey yearly
:10:36. > :10:38.half of all drivers questioned admitted to being distracted by
:10:39. > :10:46.phones on the road. Really how dangerous can sending a quick text
:10:47. > :10:50.be? Traffic cops see things like this
:10:51. > :10:56.all the time and hear the same old excuses. The first reason you came
:10:57. > :11:01.to our attention is you are not wearing a seatbelt. Sorry finishing
:11:02. > :11:05.off a quick text. It doesn't take long and sometimes they're really
:11:06. > :11:10.important. Important enough to risk your life
:11:11. > :11:14.or someone else's? In getting the sat`nav to work or changing the
:11:15. > :11:17.destination, that's essential, isn't it?
:11:18. > :11:21.In a recent survey 75% of drivers felt that driving was riskier than
:11:22. > :11:27.it was ten years ago and they blame it on being distracked by gadgets.
:11:28. > :11:33.`` distracked by gadgets. `` distracted by gadgets. He is still
:11:34. > :11:43.on the phone. There he is. Phone to his ear. Have you got your phone
:11:44. > :11:46.with you? Grab your phone out. OK. Before we carry on I will caution
:11:47. > :11:53.you... When it comes to multitasking on the
:11:54. > :11:57.move West Midlands traffic cops PC Mark Holden and PC Eric O'Neill have
:11:58. > :12:03.seen it all. You get people watching DVDs and things on laptops while
:12:04. > :12:10.driving along. A lot of people having video conferences calls now.
:12:11. > :12:16.Reading a newspaper. People putting on make`up. Male and female.
:12:17. > :12:20.Basically, you name it, if you can possibly do it in the car somebody
:12:21. > :12:26.will try to do it at some point while driving.
:12:27. > :12:30.It goes on so much spotting them is easy. This chap's got hold of the
:12:31. > :12:37.steering wheel and has not got the phone to his ear, he is holding it
:12:38. > :12:41.in his hand. For Nazan Fennel the warnings can't be overstated. Her
:12:42. > :12:49.daughter Hope was hit by a lorry and killed in 2011.
:12:50. > :12:56.It was her 13th birthday. Just five weeks into her 13th birthday, so as
:12:57. > :13:01.she said herself, a brand new teen. She loved it. She loved being a
:13:02. > :13:05.teen. The trucker, who had been texting and driving through the city
:13:06. > :13:09.prior to running Hope over, was convicted and jailed for dangerous
:13:10. > :13:14.driving and perverting the course of justice for deleting his texts.
:13:15. > :13:21.When he realised what was under his vehicle and the emergency services
:13:22. > :13:29.were called, and a lot of people were panicking out here, he went
:13:30. > :13:33.back into his cab and deleted the evidence which was his texting all
:13:34. > :13:39.the way through, approaching about half an hour before he struck Hope.
:13:40. > :13:43.Nazan is now campaigning for greater road safety in Birmingham as part of
:13:44. > :13:49.that campaign, a ghost bike marks the spot where Hope was killed. The
:13:50. > :13:56.presence of the bike means that someone has died here at this spot
:13:57. > :14:01.exactly. This is a visual warning for the traffic as I say. And for
:14:02. > :14:06.the pedestrians crossing. It makes them think what is this for here?
:14:07. > :14:10.What's happened here? We saw plenty of bad habits at the
:14:11. > :14:14.very crossing where Hope died. It seems this type of behaviour isn't
:14:15. > :14:19.as socially unacceptable as drinking and driving. But I have come to meet
:14:20. > :14:27.someone who says he can prove it's just as dangerous. Vp Dr Nick Reed
:14:28. > :14:30.is a researcher at the Transport Research Laboratory and he is Gok
:14:31. > :14:36.put my driving skills to the `` he is going to put my driving skills to
:14:37. > :14:43.the test in a simulator. This is the driving simulator. First, with no
:14:44. > :14:50.distractions. Then the phone goes. OK. A text.
:14:51. > :14:56.This could prove to be interesting. First, find my phone.
:14:57. > :15:01.It's probably the office. It usually is.
:15:02. > :15:04.Yeah, it's my producer. Am I coming out on Friday?
:15:05. > :15:09.I wonder if she needs an answer now? Probably.
:15:10. > :15:16.This is the variability and position as she goes around the bends. These
:15:17. > :15:21.are the reaction times. The sat`nav needs my attention now.
:15:22. > :15:30.OK, Mary. The location for the shoot has changed. We would like you to
:15:31. > :15:35.head to RG 403 GA. This is where it gets interesting. The doctor's
:15:36. > :15:41.giving me a drink. I have to say it's a bit early! Even for a
:15:42. > :15:45.journalist! I will pour this for you. Crikey. The measure of alcohol
:15:46. > :15:48.in there will get to you the legal limit. We would like you to drink
:15:49. > :15:53.that within five minutes, if you can. Back behind the wheel I can
:15:54. > :15:59.feel the alcohol is taking effect. I am not convinced that using my phone
:16:00. > :16:03.is worse than this. Her position behind that vehicle is very much `
:16:04. > :16:06.much more than it was in the controlled condition. Well done,
:16:07. > :16:12.that's the end of the drive. You can bring the vehicle to a halt. That
:16:13. > :16:17.glass is wine is really taking effect. So I am not really safe
:16:18. > :16:24.behind one of these. Right, Nick, I would be interested to know how I
:16:25. > :16:28.got on. OK, come in, take a seat. So, firstly, in the base line drive
:16:29. > :16:32.you drove very well compared to other people we have seen in here,
:16:33. > :16:37.you drove well, controlled, very careful. But what about when I was
:16:38. > :16:41.distracted texting on my phone? The big difference that we noticed was
:16:42. > :16:44.your position in the lane. Firstly, when you were following that lead
:16:45. > :16:47.vehicle. You were staying much further behind and your position
:16:48. > :16:51.relative to that vehicle was changing a lot more. Your responses
:16:52. > :16:55.were clearly impaired by the distractions we were throwing at
:16:56. > :16:59.you. There was a tendency to drift across the lane, you probably
:17:00. > :17:03.noticed when you were sending the message you were moving across the
:17:04. > :17:07.lane. Sometimes into the lane adjacent which clearly would be a
:17:08. > :17:12.big risk. Then we did the final drive, the third drive with the
:17:13. > :17:16.alcohol. Although your reactions and driving was clearly impaired, it
:17:17. > :17:19.wasn't to the same extent in the measures we were taking to the
:17:20. > :17:23.distractions. Your reaction times were actually faster when you had
:17:24. > :17:29.the alcohol than they were when you had the distractions. So even though
:17:30. > :17:33.I felt so unsafe after the wine, I was actually more dangerous when
:17:34. > :17:38.using my phone. It fits with our research. The times when you are
:17:39. > :17:42.using the smartphone, when you are being distracted by these other
:17:43. > :17:47.tasks you are at greater risk of collision than when you are at the
:17:48. > :17:51.legal limit of alcohol. Back in Birmingham, the officers are
:17:52. > :17:59.moving in on the drivers behaving badly. It's the simple things that
:18:00. > :18:04.give it away. He has it in his right hand. Come from the right`hand lane,
:18:05. > :18:11.turning right. He still can't give a signal.
:18:12. > :18:19.Those lights were on amber then. The man driving the white van is
:18:20. > :18:27.drinking from a flask. And yet more drivers are being stopped for using
:18:28. > :18:30.their phones. Yeah, he still is. Tell me what you know about using
:18:31. > :18:40.your phone and the law whilst driving. OK, you are restricted...
:18:41. > :18:45.And this driver reaches 80mph in a 50 zone. Is there any reason for
:18:46. > :18:49.your speed? With so many cars on the road the way we behave and the
:18:50. > :18:53.choices we make when we are driving are more important than ever before.
:18:54. > :18:57.When you are travelling, you know, at 30, 40mph in a motor vehicle, you
:18:58. > :19:02.are travelling great distranses in seconds. Things can change in an
:19:03. > :19:07.instant. `` distances. Just turning around ash not looking at the road
:19:08. > :19:09.in front `` around or not looking at the road in front can make the
:19:10. > :19:13.difference between somebody dying and somebody not dying. Sound advice
:19:14. > :19:17.there. It's easy to get caught newspaper
:19:18. > :19:22.the moment and think one text can't really hurt, but having been put
:19:23. > :19:29.through my paces it showed just how distracting it can be.
:19:30. > :19:35.Ludlow Castle was built in the 12th century want as Richard III's
:19:36. > :19:37.childhood home for a time. We are going into the great hall now. There
:19:38. > :19:41.would have been a porch here. You can see there is a doorway that
:19:42. > :19:44.would have gone to those quarters. The door we are going through may
:19:45. > :19:49.even be the original door. There's bits of original door this way and
:19:50. > :19:55.window shutters up on one of those windows. Sonia is the custodian here
:19:56. > :19:59.at Ludlow Castle. She told me a bit about what it would have been like
:20:00. > :20:03.for Richard III living here. You can see the fireplace here. There would
:20:04. > :20:08.have been big roaring fireplaces. Over the doorways they would have
:20:09. > :20:11.had rugs and things hanging to keep drafts out. For a child of eight or
:20:12. > :20:16.nine that would have been brilliant running around. Know billity would
:20:17. > :20:20.have sat in the `` nobility would have sat in the window seats
:20:21. > :20:25.watching everyone having fun. What a great place to be a child. Fantastic
:20:26. > :20:29.for riched around III. `` Richard III. It's fantastic as a room, but
:20:30. > :20:33.can you imagine as a real house. Although it was an important place
:20:34. > :20:38.in the King's life, it was under a council car park in Leicester where
:20:39. > :20:43.his remains were uncovered. It is a year since that extraordinary
:20:44. > :20:47.discover discovery put the city on the world map but after all the
:20:48. > :20:54.initial excitement, a reburial planned for this spring has been
:20:55. > :20:58.left in limbo. This is not a fight over an object.
:20:59. > :21:06.It's about laying to rest a human being in the most appropriate place.
:21:07. > :21:17.Richard's remains will leave Leicester over my dead body.
:21:18. > :21:22.In 2012 an archaeologist dig turned into one of the most extraordinary
:21:23. > :21:26.discoveries in recent history. This is the exact moment archaeologists
:21:27. > :21:36.started to unearth the King in a car park. Yeah. There is the other
:21:37. > :21:42.leg... Then a year ago this week came the news that everyone was
:21:43. > :21:52.waiting for. The individual exhumed in September 2012 is indeed Richard
:21:53. > :21:58.III. At the University, home to the expert team behind the dig, students
:21:59. > :22:03.flock to open days. Archaeologists were overwhelmed by interest and
:22:04. > :22:08.Leicester was well and truly in the global media spotlight. Canada.
:22:09. > :22:13.South Africa. The Philippines. Thailand. For Leicester, things
:22:14. > :22:24.couldn't have been going better until out of nowhere a group calling
:22:25. > :22:28.themselves the Plantagenet Alliance. They're challenging for the way the
:22:29. > :22:34.licence for the dig was granted. Are you a trouble`maker? Um... I am
:22:35. > :22:54.quite passive, I think. Generally I am not a trouble`maker, I am trying
:22:55. > :22:57.to right a wrong. Where did it all go wrong? I have come to the
:22:58. > :23:01.University of Leicester to meet the man who project managed the Richard
:23:02. > :23:04.III dig and whose name is on the licence that started this whole
:23:05. > :23:08.thing off, and who, since January, is now an OBE. Your words say a
:23:09. > :23:10.research excavation is under way to investigate the remains of
:23:11. > :23:14.Leicester's FraWhere did it all go wrong? I have come to the University
:23:15. > :23:18.of Leicester to meet the man who project managed the Richard III dig
:23:19. > :23:21.and whose name is on the licence that started this whole thing off,
:23:22. > :23:24.and who, since January, is now an OBE. Your words say a research
:23:25. > :23:27.excavation is under way to investigate the remains of
:23:28. > :23:30.Leicester's Franciscan Friary and also potentially locate the burial
:23:31. > :23:33.place of Richard III whose remains were interred here in 1485. At this
:23:34. > :23:37.stage within the application you are making it clear to the Ministry of
:23:38. > :23:40.Justice it could be his remains that we find, but we are not sure? Yes,
:23:41. > :23:44.absolutely. Ultimately, a project like this you can't just sort of
:23:45. > :23:48.dive in, in the hope you can find a burial straightaway. But at no stage
:23:49. > :23:52.do the Ministry of Justice come back to you and say, hold on, you are
:23:53. > :23:56.talking about Richard III here, we have to do this differently? No, not
:23:57. > :23:59.at all. Before every dig where human remains are likely to be found
:24:00. > :24:02.archaeologists have to apply to the Ministry of Justice for a licence to
:24:03. > :24:06.exhume any that might be unearthed along the way. I do feel quite
:24:07. > :24:08.unhappy that people think the University did something incorrectly
:24:09. > :24:11.because we followed normal practice on the exhumation of many, many
:24:12. > :24:14.burials over the years. For example, at the High Cross Leicester
:24:15. > :24:18.development we excavated over 1,300 burials and followed due process. Of
:24:19. > :24:21.course, at the time we applied we didn't know whether we were actually
:24:22. > :24:25.going to find Richard III or not but the application reflects the fact
:24:26. > :24:28.that if we did find him this will be the process we would follow
:24:29. > :24:31.subsequently, i.e. That they'd be reinterred in Leicester Cathedral.
:24:32. > :24:33.Under the terms of the current licence, the University are still
:24:34. > :24:36.the custodians of the King's remains. It's a big responsibility
:24:37. > :24:39.with 24`hour security at a secret location on campus. There's lots of
:24:40. > :24:42.research in the University that needs to be done in high`security
:24:43. > :24:46.areas for various reasons. Of course, in the interests of making
:24:47. > :24:49.sure that the bones are safe and secure, we have kept him in this
:24:50. > :24:53.facility because it's a particularly safe one. No one really knows that
:24:54. > :24:58.this is where he is, apart from you? No, there's only two of us who have
:24:59. > :25:01.access to it. Is this the room? This is the room. Because there are
:25:02. > :25:04.people who feel so strongly about it what we don't want is to risk
:25:05. > :25:08.somebody taking action on those emotional feelings or souvenir
:25:09. > :25:14.hunting or whatever. It's our duty to make sure that they are safely
:25:15. > :25:16.kept until the re`interment. Archaeologists at the University of
:25:17. > :25:22.Leicester believe it's best practice to rebury remains as close to where
:25:23. > :25:28.they were found as possible. But not everyone agrees. So who are the
:25:29. > :25:37.Plantagenet Alliance? What exactly do they want? I have come to York to
:25:38. > :25:42.try to find out. York. Historic city and seen as
:25:43. > :25:50.Leicester's biggest rival to rebury the King. It's had a Richard III
:25:51. > :25:55.Museum since the 1990s and it's here that I have arranged to meet a
:25:56. > :25:58.Yorkist on a mission. What are we looking at here? This is the Roe
:25:59. > :26:03.family tree, my father's family tree, goes back to about 1645. What
:26:04. > :26:10.descendant are you? 19 generations, so I am actually the 16th
:26:11. > :26:13.great`niece of Richard III. As 16th great`niece, Vanessa Roe believes
:26:14. > :26:20.she and other relatives should have been consulted when it became clear
:26:21. > :26:23.the remains were the King's. Once somebody becomes named, it doesn't
:26:24. > :26:26.matter how old they are or whatever, but if they do have descendants
:26:27. > :26:36.there should be some consultation in their final resting place. If
:26:37. > :26:40.Leicester was that bothered about him they would have dug him up years
:26:41. > :26:43.ago. They knew where he was. They had a very good idea where he was.
:26:44. > :26:48.Back in Leicester, a stone's throw from the dig site, more digging.
:26:49. > :26:56.Building work to transform the grounds around the cathedral is well
:26:57. > :27:00.under way. While inside... Today a cathedral website about Leicester's
:27:01. > :27:05.links to Richard and why his remains should stay here went live.
:27:06. > :27:09.Richard's story is completely embedded in Leicester's story.
:27:10. > :27:13.Whatever the court decides, that does not change. He will be
:27:14. > :27:18.remembered here. His remains are in the soil of Leicester. We look
:27:19. > :27:22.forward to his bones also being back in the soil of Leicester. It matters
:27:23. > :27:26.hugely to us all and to the people around us. I think it matters to the
:27:27. > :27:31.people of England that we do the right thing and that means he needs
:27:32. > :27:36.to be buried here. With delays caused by the judicial review, a
:27:37. > :27:40.spring reburial has already been abandoned. Now there are real
:27:41. > :27:46.concerns it might not happen this year. Taking this to the court at
:27:47. > :27:49.all seems to me to be not the best way to deal with the remains of a
:27:50. > :27:54.human being. I know it happens all the time but I think everyone
:27:55. > :28:00.regrets that that's where we have got to with this. The judicial
:28:01. > :28:07.review will be heard in London on March 13th. Only then will we know
:28:08. > :28:12.what's next for Richard III. That's it from me. If any of
:28:13. > :28:14.tonight's stories have struck a chord we would like to hear from
:28:15. > :28:21.you. You can share your thoughts with us and others on our football
:28:22. > :28:26.`` on our Facebook page or Twitter. If you have a story you think I
:28:27. > :28:29.should know about you can drop me an e`mail. From Ludlow, bye for now.
:28:30. > :29:14.See you next time. A longer day, more exams and tougher
:29:15. > :29:15.discipline. That is
