0:00:03 > 0:00:04Good evening from York.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06This week, the Cold War fighter plane which has
0:00:06 > 0:00:08found a new home in Yorkshire.
0:00:08 > 0:00:18And why we should all be taking fewer antibiotics.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Hello.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29This week we're in the city of York which has become home to the French
0:00:29 > 0:00:32fighter plane which was created to deliver a devastating nuclear
0:00:32 > 0:00:37payload.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39It's highly advanced, it's beautiful looking, and it's superb
0:00:39 > 0:00:40performance.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42But it is a bringer of death and destruction.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Also tonight, why antibiotic resistance poses a
0:00:44 > 0:00:46huge danger to our health.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I lost my big right toe and almost half of my
0:00:49 > 0:00:55foot within a period of 12 hours.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58And, later in the programme, the marriage agency which says it can
0:00:58 > 0:01:03find men up to four wives.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We have heard the warnings.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Antibiotics, the basis of modern medicine, are losing their effect
0:01:08 > 0:01:11and we could be facing a worldwide catastrophe.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13So what is being done?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Well, a team of scientists from Leeds have come up with a device
0:01:16 > 0:01:19that might be able to hold back this health apocalypse.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Jamie Coulson reports.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Let's start with a quiz question.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Should you give this patient antibiotic?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32What can I help you with this morning?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I can't get rid of this cold.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37My throat's burning, my nose is all blocked,.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39My throat's burning, my nose is all blocked.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40The symptoms are the same.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41If it's a bacterial
0:01:41 > 0:01:43infection it could be just what the patient needs.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46But if it's a virus it will have no effect whatsoever.
0:01:46 > 0:01:52And handing out a prescription could take is one step closer to an
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And handing out a prescription could take us one step closer to an
0:01:55 > 0:01:56antibiotic Armageddon.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58It's happened and in many cases it has rendered
0:01:58 > 0:01:59the drugs, the antibiotics, unusable.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03What we really need is efforts to reduce demand and stop
0:02:03 > 0:02:06treating these things like sweets.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Potentially by 2050, we could have 10 million
0:02:10 > 0:02:12deaths a year globally.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So what if you could invent something that would tell you if it
0:02:15 > 0:02:19is bacterial or not?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21It is the scientific Holy Grail.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22It's a very quick device.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24It takes five to ten minutes to take a measurement.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26And it gives the GP the information that
0:02:26 > 0:02:31they need to prescribe.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33A miracle out of mould!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Bacteria have been developing resistance to antibiotics
0:02:36 > 0:02:40ever since Alexander Flemming discovered penicillin.
0:02:40 > 0:02:46Put an antibiotic next to a bug or next to
0:02:46 > 0:02:49a series of bugs and as sure as light is day some of those will
0:02:49 > 0:02:51develop resistance to that antibiotic.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53And that resistance can cause devastation.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56How do I know you're going to be here at 10am,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Monday, Wednesday, Friday, for the next six weeks?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Because I want to do something to break the habit of just
0:03:01 > 0:03:02work, work, work...
0:03:02 > 0:03:05This was Jonathan Lewis 17 years ago, trying
0:03:05 > 0:03:08to get hit.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09to get fit.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Since then he went on to develop type two diabetes and an
0:03:12 > 0:03:13infection in his toe.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I lost my big right toe and almost half of my foot
0:03:17 > 0:03:19within a period of 12 hours.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24It is as poisonous as that.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28He had picked up sepsis caused by a drug resistant bacteria.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32So every time I have an infection, I have a different strain
0:03:32 > 0:03:37of the infection, I therefore have to have different treatment.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39It has put an Exocet missile right through
0:03:39 > 0:03:44my ability to function properly.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49I have had numerous MRIs, numerous x-rays, numerous operations,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53and I can never get rid of it.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Jonathan has spent much of the past five
0:03:55 > 0:03:58years in hospital.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It is frightening when the theatre staff recognise you
0:04:01 > 0:04:05and say, "Hello, Jonathan, you're back with us again."
0:04:05 > 0:04:07And Jonathan is one of the lucky ones.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09He is still alive.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Across Europe about 25,000 people die every year of drug
0:04:13 > 0:04:15resistant infections.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And I am really worried, as are experts, that
0:04:18 > 0:04:24if we don't do things to control this, we will risk losing
0:04:24 > 0:04:25antibiotics.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28And they underpin modern medicine.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31One important step is to reduce the number of people
0:04:31 > 0:04:34taking antibiotics.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36But the more we take the quicker the bacteria adapt
0:04:36 > 0:04:39and become resistant to them.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40People are using antibiotics when they
0:04:40 > 0:04:41don't necessarily need them.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45This may be because they are being prescribed them or they are taking
0:04:45 > 0:04:50antibiotics that they've got sitting in the cupboard.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52But the key thing is, if you take antibiotics when you
0:04:52 > 0:04:55don't need them they will stop working for you in the future.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57# Antibiotics, we're wonderful pills...#.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Public-health England has launched a national advertising
0:04:59 > 0:05:03campaign to persuade people not to ask for them.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07# Don't always think that we can make you better #.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09But are we listening?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12If we look at how many antibiotics were prescribed in
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in the first three
0:05:14 > 0:05:15months of this year, in
0:05:15 > 0:05:18the Vale of York there were enough issued for around one in seven
0:05:18 > 0:05:20people.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24In Bradford, Harlow and Scarborough, that figure goes up to
0:05:24 > 0:05:29around one in five.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30--
0:05:30 > 0:05:30-- hole
0:05:30 > 0:05:30-- hole and
0:05:30 > 0:05:34-- hole and Scarborough.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36-- Hull and Scarborough.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38But the worst culprit of all is South
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Lincolnshire, where there were enough issued for almost one in four
0:05:41 > 0:05:42people.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43So what were they taking them for?
0:05:43 > 0:05:44We asked people in Stamford.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Probably a chest infection.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I think it was a sinus infection.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48I had a tooth infection.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49For a toe infection.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51It was for interstitial cystitis, yeah.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52They don't work, though.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54GPs are under pressure for lots of different
0:05:54 > 0:05:57reasons, and they have very short appointments in which to see people.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00But I think if you've got a patient sitting in front of you and their
0:06:00 > 0:06:03expectation is that they want to go away with a prescription for
0:06:03 > 0:06:07something, it can be quite hard to say no.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11In Leeds, GPs have been targeting students.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15We're trying to get the message across to people
0:06:15 > 0:06:16that viruses don't respond to antibiotics,
0:06:16 > 0:06:17because it is still an
0:06:17 > 0:06:22issue that a lot of our community don't understand that.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25So they could do, with a bit more help.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27It would be really useful if we had a test
0:06:27 > 0:06:31that we could use to check whether the patient had a viral or a
0:06:31 > 0:06:36bacterial infection.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Researchers around the world are working on this very problem.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43And at the forefront is a team from Leeds.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47This little plastic slide could be a weapon in
0:06:47 > 0:06:52the fight against antibiotic resistance.
0:06:52 > 0:06:58A lab would take a few days to identify whether an is viral
0:06:58 > 0:06:59or bacterial.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02What we are trying to do is to develop a simple test that
0:07:02 > 0:07:04can indeed be used next to the patients, that can say
0:07:04 > 0:07:07in five, ten minutes, this is a really high
0:07:07 > 0:07:12chance of being viral, or it's a really high chance of being
0:07:12 > 0:07:14bacterial.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19Scientists in Leeds have created a chip that can do just that.
0:07:20 > 0:07:20So that's simple.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22It's a very simple concept.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24However, the science and the research that has gone into
0:07:24 > 0:07:28developing all this technology, to make it work, that's a very
0:07:28 > 0:07:31challenging enterprise and has taken us many,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34many years to get to this point.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Here's how it should work.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41They have had to find five different molecules to load onto the chip
0:07:41 > 0:07:42and test the infection.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45That has taken 12 years so far.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50What we are measuring is a response of the body,
0:07:50 > 0:07:51as a result of the infection.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53It is not just one measurement of one
0:07:53 > 0:07:59marker as we call it, but we have to melt
0:07:59 > 0:08:01the word measure a multiple of
0:08:01 > 0:08:02these markers at the same time.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04They have finally reached the point where
0:08:04 > 0:08:06the molecules are being added to the chips.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09This is where the engine sort of gets integrated into the chassis,
0:08:09 > 0:08:10if you like.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12And if the integration is not perfect then the device won't work.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15And this is the end result.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18When a patient goes and sees a GP, the GP will take blood
0:08:18 > 0:08:20and what the GP wants to know is
0:08:20 > 0:08:21the concentration of certain markers
0:08:21 > 0:08:26which are a response of the body as a result of the infection.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28The blood then flows onto this device, into
0:08:28 > 0:08:32this end of the device, where the actual
0:08:32 > 0:08:34measurements will be taken by
0:08:34 > 0:08:35an electronic chip.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37The results of the measurements are then
0:08:37 > 0:08:39transferred to a computer where the GP can read off
0:08:39 > 0:08:43the results and make a diagnosis from that information.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46The device now has to go through clinical trials.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49We are at least five years away from instant
0:08:49 > 0:08:55diagnosis, but the fight to save antibiotics has begun.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00If we can reduce that pressure early on in the
0:09:00 > 0:09:03antibiotic bug chain, then we really can slow down this
0:09:03 > 0:09:05rush towards resistance.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11It might mean fewer people in Jonathan's situation.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I saw it on the night and I haven't seen it since.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17And it takes me back.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21After three weeks, Jonathan's lost over a stone.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I was fit, I had never been ill in my life before.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29How times have changed!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I won't let this defeat me.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36And...
0:09:36 > 0:09:39You know, I will fight till the end.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43How do you feel about a world where antibiotics
0:09:43 > 0:09:46don't work any more and many people may have to go through what you have
0:09:46 > 0:09:47been through?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Well, I hope first of all that no one will have to go
0:09:50 > 0:09:52through what I've been through.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54But it will be a world of pain, it will
0:09:54 > 0:10:01be a world of increasing deaths, and it will be a world, frankly,
0:10:01 > 0:10:05that people wouldn't want to live in.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13And if you've got a story you'd like to tell us about, you can
0:10:13 > 0:10:14contact us on Facebook or Twitter.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Coming up on Inside Out:
0:10:17 > 0:10:21The Cold War bomber that has landed in Yorkshire.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Polygamy, the practice of a man marrying more than one woman,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32is becoming more common in the UK.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35But why would a man want several wives
0:10:35 > 0:10:37and why would a woman wants to share her husband?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Well, Chris Jackson has been investigating a website which
0:10:39 > 0:10:43offers a matchmaking service with a difference.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48This is the man who markets second wives.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Hello, my name is Azad Chaiwala.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55I am the founder of polygamy.com and secondwife.com...
0:10:56 > 0:11:00..the world's first-ever polygamy-based relationship website.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Even though it's not recognised by the law here,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Azad believes polygamy is the future.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08The whole idea is to build bigger and better families.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Ten years from now, it's not going to be
0:11:11 > 0:11:12a taboo any more.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14So you're convinced there's a demand out there.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18100,000 plus people are already signed up, so of course there is.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I want to tell you about polygamy.com -
0:11:20 > 0:11:22the very first matrimonial website...
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Polygamy.com is for everyone, but Azad's first website,
0:11:25 > 0:11:32secondwife.com, is specifically aimed at Muslims.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57My name is Azad Chaiwala and I welcome
0:11:57 > 0:11:59you to secondwife.com, where you will find like-minded
0:11:59 > 0:12:02brothers and sisters who are wanting to revive the last
0:12:02 > 0:12:05tradition of polygamy.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Azad's business was founded on recruiting willing
0:12:06 > 0:12:09wives for Muslim men, as he explained to me
0:12:09 > 0:12:12on a break from the office.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You must have heard the arguments, people saying
0:12:14 > 0:12:17it sounds a bit like the man who wants to have his cake and eat it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18You know...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20What's wrong with that?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I mean, there are other means of doing it.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24There are other deception all ways of doing it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Like affairs, prostitution, etc.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27And those are not necessarily good for relationships.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Here it is more honourable, because you are upfront about it.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Most Muslims in the UK don't practice polygamy.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40But some interpretations of the Quran say a man they married
0:12:40 > 0:12:43two, three or even for women, as long as he can deal justly and
0:12:43 > 0:12:45fairly with each of them.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47So how does that work out in practice?
0:12:47 > 0:12:54Well, I am on my way to meet one couple in Yorkshire to find out.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Tarek, a doctor, was using Azad's website to find a second wife
0:12:57 > 0:12:59when he met Tracy by chance.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01They got together in February.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Cosy cottage.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Cosy cottage.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Cosy cottage.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Yeah.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Log burner.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Oh, I would love a log burner.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Two horses, and then me and you can go riding.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Yeah.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16And go for romantic picnics.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Of course.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I have currently two wives and an ex-wife.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I found there is a lot of ladies who are not
0:13:23 > 0:13:25married, whether they are
0:13:25 > 0:13:29growing old or they have been divorced and nobody is really
0:13:29 > 0:13:31interested in them, or they are single mothers.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34So I thought, well, if I have the ability to manage more
0:13:34 > 0:13:40than one wife then I would like to take this opportunity.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43And do people outside of the Islamic faith,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45friends of yours, do they understand?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Do they get this?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Quite a few people are asking me how can
0:13:49 > 0:13:50you manage that?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I say, it sounds complicated or difficult, however,
0:13:53 > 0:13:58once you reach an agreement together you will find it easy.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I am not just doing it to have.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01I am doing it to give.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I thought long and hard about polygamy and I thought, OK, this
0:14:04 > 0:14:10could actually work out to my advantage.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I want to be married to somebody but I still want to be able
0:14:13 > 0:14:16to travel and have my independence.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19So really you were only after a part-time husband, really?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Physically, it's a part-time husband.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Emotionally...
0:14:24 > 0:14:27It's a full-time husband.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I will do it, I will do it.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I've got it on the first one.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32You want it on which one?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34There.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Tighten it up.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Maybe just move that one up one.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38OK.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41The way I see it, I've got the best of everything.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43You signed up for one day a week.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Has that worked out?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48He has always been very straight with me in what he can
0:14:48 > 0:14:49manage and everything.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54And he did say one day and one night per week.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Tracy has now asked to renegotiate the written marriage contract.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02She wants Tarek for two days and nights each week.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07I've found myself being more insecure with my marriage, with
0:15:07 > 0:15:09just being one day and one night.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And what about his other wife, though?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13That means less time with her, of course.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17I do think about my co-wife.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21And the situation that she is in.
0:15:21 > 0:15:28They are at home, they have got child number six coming along.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32So she does need more support.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34But polygamy is not for everyone.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37When it comes to users of secondwife.com, men outnumber
0:15:37 > 0:15:40women three to one.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42If someone is offering themselves up as a second
0:15:42 > 0:15:45wife, they may not know what is going on with the first wife.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46And whether she is happy.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48True.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51This is why I encourage everybody to be open.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53So you have to have everybody involved on the table.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55From the outside, some people might say that
0:15:55 > 0:15:57this is just the guys having their own way.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58You can't...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01And having a lot of fun and the women don't really get
0:16:01 > 0:16:02much of a say in this.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It takes two hands to clap.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06A guy can't do it on his own.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09And the fact that we've got so many successful marriages and the fact
0:16:09 > 0:16:11that we've got so many women that have signed
0:16:11 > 0:16:13up themselves - a lot of
0:16:13 > 0:16:14these women are highly educated and professionals,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16doctors, teachers, lawyers, business ladies - and they
0:16:16 > 0:16:21are opting to enter this kind of relationship.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Bigamy, that is when you marry again before getting
0:16:23 > 0:16:28divorced, can land you in prison for up to seven years.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30But polygamous marriages are marked by spiritual or
0:16:30 > 0:16:32religious ceremonies and, as they are not
0:16:32 > 0:16:33recognised by law, there is
0:16:33 > 0:16:38no reliable figure for how many take place in the UK.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Polygamy should be thought of in terms of a hub and
0:16:40 > 0:16:44spoke model, where typically you have a husband with multiple
0:16:44 > 0:16:49wives, where the husband is the one choosing who the wives are.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52So in a sense the husband has full control over who every single member
0:16:52 > 0:16:54of that family is.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Is there a wider impact of polygamy, not just on
0:16:57 > 0:16:58those at the centre of it?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I think that as the country is trying to get
0:17:00 > 0:17:04a greater sense of equality, certainly trying to make some steps
0:17:04 > 0:17:07towards greater gender equality, I think this is something that would
0:17:07 > 0:17:08be a stumbling block.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10This would be a setback.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14So you should be able to just feel his mouth.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Lift your reins up a bit.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Try to keep...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20So within polygamy do you feel you are an
0:17:20 > 0:17:22equal partner in this?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23No.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25No, I don't.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29As much as it is an experience and I really love Tarek,
0:17:29 > 0:17:34I wouldn't do it again, because it is not easy, emotionally.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36It really isn't.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39According to the Quran, of course, he could actually find a
0:17:39 > 0:17:41third wife or even a fourth.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43How would you feel about that?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I don't want that.
0:17:46 > 0:17:53If Tarek is absolutely adamant that he wants that, then...
0:17:53 > 0:17:57I have to think very strongly about my options.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Are you OK?
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Yeah, I'm OK.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02It is up to the man, as wise as he could be,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04to treat them fairly.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06And kindly, and caring.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08So if he doesn't have this skill or ability,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12it might be very difficult to avoid, you know, higher chances of jealousy
0:18:12 > 0:18:16which can cause problems.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18The women have the choice that she can walk
0:18:19 > 0:18:20away from the marriage at any point.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Whoa!
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Good boy.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Good boy, good boy.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Back in the office, Azad has just launched his third
0:18:26 > 0:18:27matchmaking website.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30As part of the practical marriage guide, I will
0:18:30 > 0:18:32give you 100 questions to ask your future spouse prior to getting
0:18:33 > 0:18:34married.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37He believes a lot can be learned from how some Muslims go
0:18:37 > 0:18:39about finding a husband or wife.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42But he has boundaries.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Is the natural extension of this that there might
0:18:44 > 0:18:47be secondhusband.com?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Me, personally, that's not something I advocate.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51But if somebody wants to start that website,
0:18:51 > 0:18:52that's their own choice.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I'm not going to go around protesting.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58And what about Azad's personal quest for a second wife?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01So far he has only managed to bag one.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Because I'm quite picky.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05And when I say picky, I'm being quite practical.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I have said this before - I would like to marry somebody
0:19:08 > 0:19:09fairly local to me.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11The website came about from my need and thinking,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14well, there will be other people in my situation.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17It is benefiting a lot of people and that gives me a lot of
0:19:17 > 0:19:18satisfaction.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Myself, my number will come.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I am a very patient person, and I believe in divine decree -
0:19:23 > 0:19:26that maybe there is a reason that it has not happened.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Thank you very much.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Polygamy.com.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Bye-bye.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43One of the fastest nuclear bombers ever built has been
0:19:43 > 0:19:44transported from France to the Yorkshire Air Museum
0:19:44 > 0:19:45in Elvington near York.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48The French Mirage IV was designed to carry a
0:19:48 > 0:19:49gigantic nuclear bomb.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52And with rising tensions between North Korea
0:19:52 > 0:19:56and the US, it is a timely reminder of a threat many thought had been
0:19:56 > 0:19:57consigned to the history books.
0:19:57 > 0:20:04Lucy Hester reports.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06The Mirage IV in flight.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09A supersonic aircraft, capable of 1,800 miles an hour.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12But its beauty belied its deadly purpose.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15It was built to drop a nuclear bomb 40 times more
0:20:15 > 0:20:20powerful than the one that destroyed Hiroshima.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23It's highly advanced, it's beautiful looking and it's
0:20:23 > 0:20:25superb performance.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28But it is a bringer of death and destruction.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33The ultimate threat.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38The Mirage IV, pride of the French air force,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42now the latest exhibit at Elvington Air Museum.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44And the plane buffs will love this one.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Sleek lines, more like a rocket than a plain, and a
0:20:47 > 0:20:52huge bomb bay built into its undercarriage.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57So why is this relic of the Cold War here in a hangar in
0:20:57 > 0:20:58the Yorkshire Air Museum?
0:20:58 > 0:21:03Well, the big clue is right next to it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08A British Halifax Bomber but with French air force markings.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12France was defeated and occupied in 1940.
0:21:12 > 0:21:22But the bulk of her air force was safe in North Africa.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28And from there air men formed two bomber
0:21:28 > 0:21:30squadrons that served at Elvington from 1944.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33There were so many French airmen here it became known as
0:21:33 > 0:21:34La Petite France.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36And this bit of Yorkshire became a central part of
0:21:36 > 0:21:41the campaign to liberate Europe.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46This memorial garden in Elvington commemorates over 2,000 who with two
0:21:46 > 0:21:50French squadrons, and they paid a heavy price for their bombing
0:21:50 > 0:21:53raids against their own country.
0:21:53 > 0:22:01Over 200 of them died trying to liberate France.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04It is that French connection that led to the gift of the finest
0:22:04 > 0:22:11surviving French bomber from a very different era.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14The two squadrons are still flying today, but during the
0:22:14 > 0:22:1960s, 70s, 80s, the French nuclear deterrent was
0:22:19 > 0:22:22done by these Mirage IV aircraft.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26The two French squadrons that were based here flew them.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29So there is a really strong connection.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31It took more than a decade of red tape and high-level
0:22:31 > 0:22:37negotiations before the Mirage could be removed from France.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Any transfer of a major nuclear defence aircraft
0:22:40 > 0:22:45to another country, let alone a museum third party in another
0:22:45 > 0:22:50country, obviously has to be taken at the highest levels of Government.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55But with the final hurdles cleared, earlier this year on the outskirts
0:22:55 > 0:22:58of Paris, a team began the painstaking task of taking the
0:22:58 > 0:23:05aircraft apart and loading it on board a huge lorry.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08But it is as long as a swimming pool and, with a
0:23:08 > 0:23:1312 metre wingspan, this was never going to be easy.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16After a whole day spent loading, the giant consignment
0:23:16 > 0:23:20was finally on its way to Yorkshire, in a convoy of two lorries and
0:23:20 > 0:23:25two vans.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I have made the reverse journey to the one that brought the
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Mirage to Yorkshire.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32It was just a few miles from here, in Paris, that
0:23:32 > 0:23:35the aircraft was once displayed at the city's science Museum.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40The Mirage IV is an iconic aircraft in France.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44I am here to learn more about it from one of the elite group
0:23:44 > 0:23:46of pilots who flew it during the Cold War.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51The Mirage IV was the most beautiful aircraft that they
0:23:51 > 0:23:53built from the beginning.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59It was a fantastic aircraft.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Capable of flying at very high altitude, 52,000 feet.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08It was a bomber, but in dogfights some fighter pilots were
0:24:08 > 0:24:11very surprised.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15The only problem that we had - the visibility due
0:24:15 > 0:24:20to the nuclear flash is very small.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24No doubt DeGaulle took a military man's pride in the Mirage IV...
0:24:24 > 0:24:29The Mirage IV was the poster boy of the French air force - built
0:24:29 > 0:24:38in 1964, its ultimate weapon of attack in the new nuclear age.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43The Cold War began with the final collapse of Germany's Third Reich by
0:24:43 > 0:24:45the end of World War II.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Relations between the Allies, the commonest
0:24:46 > 0:24:52soviet Union in the East and the capitalist West quickly soured.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Nazi occupied territories were carved up
0:24:54 > 0:24:58and the so-called iron curtain came down across Soviet claimed Eastern
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Europe.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06The Cold War was fuelled by an arms race of nuclear weapons
0:25:06 > 0:25:16capable of previously unimaginable destruction.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Against this backdrop, Pierre Alain Antoine
0:25:19 > 0:25:21got his pilot's wings back in 1970.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25He would one day fly a Mirage IV, armed with a 60 kilotonne
0:25:25 > 0:25:30nuclear warhead, facing the Soviet Union.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34That warhead was a freefall bomb, and had to be dropped directly
0:25:34 > 0:25:36over its target.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40You arrive at 600 knots, 200 feet.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45You climb at 4.5 G.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49When the bomb is dropped, you have to descend very quickly, by an
0:25:49 > 0:25:56upside-down manoeuvre, at -20 degrees at night, in the clouds,
0:25:56 > 0:26:00etc, to avoid the nuclear flash.
0:26:00 > 0:26:06It was a very difficult manoeuvre.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08It was a close-knit team of pilots who
0:26:08 > 0:26:13flew the Mirage IV.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16the mission they were trained for, thousands of people would die in an
0:26:16 > 0:26:19action that would probably be the pilot's last.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22The Mirage carried only enough fuel for the outward
0:26:22 > 0:26:24journey.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27It's not a question for me.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30We were trained to launch the bombs.
0:26:30 > 0:26:37And it was absolutely not in our mind to say yes or not.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38No.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41We were following orders, and if it is not
0:26:41 > 0:26:44the case then change your job.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It took four days of convoy travelled
0:26:46 > 0:26:50for the aeroplane to reach its new home.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53When it arrived here in Elvington to join the collection,
0:26:53 > 0:26:58the prize Mirage was in bits, like a giant Airfix model.
0:26:58 > 0:27:05And it was then that the work to put it together had to begin.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It took two weeks of hard work from specialist French
0:27:08 > 0:27:15engineers before the Mirage was complete.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20It is now the only one in existence outside of France.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22People understood that this was the place for it to come.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27It has been a great project and you only have to look at
0:27:27 > 0:27:31it to realise it was worth every minute, really.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32An increasing proportion of the museum's
0:27:32 > 0:27:36collection now comes from the Cold War era.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40And the Mirage joins planes like the Victor nuclear bomber, its
0:27:40 > 0:27:43British equivalent.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47The front line of the French nuclear deterrent, the
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Mirage was designed to keep France as a global power and,
0:27:50 > 0:27:51after the bloodshed of the Second World War,
0:27:51 > 0:27:57able to resist ever being invaded again.
0:27:57 > 0:28:04Pierre Alain believes it played a huge part in post-war peace.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Absolutely for sure, 100%.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Because never, never a president took the
0:28:08 > 0:28:15possibility to push the button first.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17But now with North Korea, I am not sure.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20And it is a real danger for us.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23It was once cutting-edge military technology.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Now it is a museum piece.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29But Mirage was designed to counter the threat of
0:28:29 > 0:28:35nuclear war, and today, decades on, that threat remains ever present.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43That's all from here in York, but make sure you join me next week.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46We'll have the story of a spinal operation which could help soldier
0:28:46 > 0:28:51and amputee Ben Parkinson to walk unaided, we investigate fire safety
0:28:51 > 0:28:53in a Yorkshire tower block and meet
0:28:53 > 0:28:59the twins whose lives have been studied since they were born.
