:01:32. > :01:33.in South Sudan reaching the communities who need it,

:01:52. > :02:12.here visiting our school feeding programme. The next state is fairly
:02:13. > :02:20.stable, but it is surrounded by very unstable ones. There are really is
:02:21. > :02:37.fairly severe food insecurity even famine. I am here at a school on the
:02:38. > :02:42.outskirts of the displaced persons camp. Schoolchildren coming from all
:02:43. > :02:53.over the south of the country in search of peace. A lot of very
:02:54. > :03:04.unhappy children here. Very hungry. The food crisis in security means
:03:05. > :03:12.this is an enormous challenge for us to meet our commitment to feed
:03:13. > :03:18.everyone. We are seeing huge numbers of displaced people coming in. They
:03:19. > :03:25.are not at school and they are arriving very hungry and fairly
:03:26. > :03:26.weak. We are than as a school feeding programme, it is helping
:03:27. > :03:29.them get back on your feet. Let us take a look at UK aid
:03:30. > :03:32.to South Sudan, in response to the first famine declared
:03:33. > :03:35.anywhere in the world since 2011. ?100 million is allocated
:03:36. > :03:40.to South Sudan for this year. No extra funding has been announced
:03:41. > :03:51.in response to the famine, but we are one of the biggest donors
:03:52. > :03:54.there and 400 British troops are being sent to help,
:03:55. > :04:04.as part of the UN mission. Joining us now, Alistair Dutton,
:04:05. > :04:07.who runs the Catholic aid charity SCIAF, and from London,
:04:08. > :04:27.Sir William Patey, who used to be Thank you for joining us. I wonder
:04:28. > :04:37.how much the divisive politics in the country have made the famine
:04:38. > :04:46.situation even worse? Yes, the new niche in only came into being in
:04:47. > :04:55.2011. For most of its young life, South Sudan as seen in conflict
:04:56. > :05:00.raging. For people to hear cattle, plant crops, things like that, that
:05:01. > :05:07.has been a huge problem. People are fleeing from waves in the face of
:05:08. > :05:15.sectarian fighting. South Sudan It was always going to be in the PKK
:05:16. > :05:18.send with regard to the security of food supplies, but the situation has
:05:19. > :05:25.become a lot worse because of the civil war. Suggestions that PED
:05:26. > :05:34.workers cannot even get through to the areas where they are most
:05:35. > :05:37.needed. The first responsibility of government is to provide
:05:38. > :05:42.humanitarian aid and if they cannot do that, they have a responsibility
:05:43. > :05:49.to allow those who can deliver that to do so. Who is responsible? We
:05:50. > :05:57.look very closely with the United Nations and all the other charity
:05:58. > :06:05.organisations. We put in place all the mechanisms to give humility they
:06:06. > :06:11.need and we have been able to help thousands, but the situation is
:06:12. > :06:17.intensifying. Famine declared only two weeks ago and there are 1
:06:18. > :06:22.million people rate on the edge of famine. Government troops and rebel
:06:23. > :06:27.troops seem to be responsible for atrocities. There was a piece on the
:06:28. > :06:32.BBC News about this last night. That is part of the problem. You have
:06:33. > :06:39.divisions amongst the leadership of the government. They are not always
:06:40. > :06:44.entirely in control of the various forces. The error random forces both
:06:45. > :06:50.within the government and the rebels, who are basically out of
:06:51. > :06:57.control. That is a huge problem. Are you happy with EE and currently
:06:58. > :07:03.going to South Sudan? If you look at the way the crisis is proceeding,
:07:04. > :07:08.that is going to only get worse in the next few months. We can do
:07:09. > :07:14.something at the moment but we need to be able to do more, so that is
:07:15. > :07:18.why we are appealing for extra Eades at the moment. But that is just a
:07:19. > :07:23.small part of what must happen. A lot more work has to be done on the
:07:24. > :07:29.behalf of the United Nations and by individual countries. How do you
:07:30. > :07:35.feel about the political situation? What needs to happen now? The
:07:36. > :07:44.various parties in South Sudan an assured themselves incapable of
:07:45. > :07:46.reaching a political settlement. A ceasefire was negotiated towards the
:07:47. > :07:52.end of last year and that has already broken down. The most
:07:53. > :07:58.successful piece initiative are ones which are broken by a crusade
:07:59. > :08:03.parties. The United States, United Kingdom and Norway have a long
:08:04. > :08:09.history of working in this part of the world. It may be calls for a
:08:10. > :08:16.combination of the United Nations and the African union to try and
:08:17. > :08:17.broker a peace, even if they have to do it forcefully. Thank you both
:08:18. > :08:20.very much for joining us. A big marker moment in the Six
:08:21. > :08:23.Nations is coming up this weekend. Scotland play England
:08:24. > :08:24.for the Calcutta Cup If we win, it will be the first time
:08:25. > :08:29.we have beaten England Our very own John Beattie
:08:30. > :08:32.remembers the match well. He was on the winning team,
:08:33. > :08:57.so we sent him to Twickenham, It was a year for which brought us
:08:58. > :09:05.the bold new way to play music. Cold War angst and antinuclear protest. A
:09:06. > :09:13.lonely tongue to power of Britain's first female Prime Minister. It was
:09:14. > :09:19.1983. It also brought us something else. The last time Scotland beat
:09:20. > :09:26.England at Twickenham. Scotland will hope to make something out of this
:09:27. > :09:37.situation. Laidlaw. Eagles weighed and he is going clear. He has
:09:38. > :09:44.scored. I plead in late March and it was one of the most memorable days
:09:45. > :09:49.of my life. I cannot believe it has been repeated. These things have
:09:50. > :09:58.come and gone, but still no victory in London. England were cooler that
:09:59. > :10:05.the anime in time to when the wooden spoon. But it was an expanding
:10:06. > :10:09.Scottish performance. The team with one to win the grand slam the
:10:10. > :10:17.following year. Why do we have such terrible record south of the border.
:10:18. > :10:26.I put it to an England legend, the former Wil Carling captain. He is
:10:27. > :10:31.not totally upset about that. It is something I like. But it will end at
:10:32. > :10:38.some point. For the first time for a long time, they are coming down with
:10:39. > :10:45.a genuine belief that they could be victorious. There is always talk
:10:46. > :10:56.than they could win and then there is the hangover. I do not mean to be
:10:57. > :11:00.arrogant. I genuinely think they could. What was like losing to
:11:01. > :11:13.Scotland when you wear an England player. There's always something a
:11:14. > :11:18.bit different. Is there? My personal bet was that they came after 1990.
:11:19. > :11:25.That was my most painful experience as a captain. We were taught the
:11:26. > :11:40.biggest lesson I ever got in my career. Russell,. There is a real
:11:41. > :11:46.chance for Scotland to perpetrate these 34 years of heart. This is a
:11:47. > :11:58.much improved team, as shown in the victories over Wales and Ireland. It
:11:59. > :12:02.was a different model by Quinn. . We are saying a lot of drinks to the
:12:03. > :12:11.room of the England team captain in the hotel. The day after, I actually
:12:12. > :12:19.had my first McDonald's. I hope the team has the chance to celebrate. I
:12:20. > :12:21.am sure I am speaking on behalf of everyone in 1983. That record needs
:12:22. > :12:33.to be consigned to the dustbin. From an established sport
:12:34. > :12:41.like rugby, to a brand-new one, which looks like it could be
:12:42. > :12:43.even more risky. This year, the UK was the first
:12:44. > :12:45.to recognise parkour These two young practitioners have
:12:46. > :13:08.made a film to promote it. Choose good health. Choose a
:13:09. > :13:11.starting place. Choose your friends. Choose to be breathless, tackling
:13:12. > :13:18.the obstacles in front of you. Choose to travel and experience new
:13:19. > :13:24.things. Physical strength and pursuit which gets your heart
:13:25. > :13:26.pumping like never before. The star of the film and the director join me
:13:27. > :13:29.know. The star of that film,
:13:30. > :13:31.Robbie Griffith, and its director, Johnstone MacPherson-Stewart,
:13:32. > :13:40.are here with us now. How did you get into the sport in
:13:41. > :13:44.the first place? I got into it through indoor classes first, which
:13:45. > :13:54.are obviously not much more safe environment. Now you can take it out
:13:55. > :14:04.everywhere. How did that come about? We wanted to recreate the opening
:14:05. > :14:12.scene of Trainspotting. It must been complicated film. When he told me
:14:13. > :14:20.the idea, we went through on a Saturday morning to film it. It was
:14:21. > :14:24.very quiet at the start. But with the running sequences, I was having
:14:25. > :14:31.to run as fast as to keep up. You both do it. It is now officially a
:14:32. > :14:38.sport within the United Kingdom. Would you like to be able to compete
:14:39. > :14:44.in the Olympics? I would like to make a career out of it, maybe
:14:45. > :14:49.teaching it, as well as competing. Although it is a sport, some people
:14:50. > :14:56.might regard it as an art form. Would you agree? Especially for
:14:57. > :15:08.yourself, as a film maker. There are so many brilliant things to capture.
:15:09. > :15:14.You can fill some beautiful shots. Have you ever hurt yourself? Not
:15:15. > :15:22.yet, touch wood. But it can be dangerous? Yes, if you are overdoing
:15:23. > :15:29.it, do it under the guidance of the coach who knows what they are doing.
:15:30. > :15:32.Have you ever get into trouble? We chain keep out of peoples ways, we
:15:33. > :15:42.try to be as respectful as possible about people their property. Have
:15:43. > :15:45.you ever been stopped by the police? Sometimes we got question, but when
:15:46. > :15:50.the understand we're not trying to vandalise anything, it OK. Thank you
:15:51. > :15:55.both very much for joining us. Dancing and dementia
:15:56. > :15:57.are two words you would not necessarily put together,
:15:58. > :15:59.but it seems music might be a way to help hold
:16:00. > :16:01.on to memory for longer. Edinburgh University has teamed up
:16:02. > :16:03.with choreographer Chris Wilson, to research the impact
:16:04. > :16:05.of dance lessons. Timeline went along
:16:06. > :16:07.to one of his sessions at the Eric Liddell
:16:08. > :16:22.Centre in Edinburgh. OK, hands up. Everybody has an
:16:23. > :16:27.incredible story. Everybody in this group, if you talk to them, some of
:16:28. > :16:34.them have been nurses abroad, worked in the RAF, flight attendants. I
:16:35. > :16:44.nursed in West Lothian. I used to jive when I was younger. Just enjoy
:16:45. > :16:49.getting moving and the atmosphere. Everybody has a varying degree of
:16:50. > :16:52.dementia. And whilst they might not remember me and my name on a weekly
:16:53. > :16:58.basis, they remember what I was doing with them. At least, they were
:16:59. > :17:02.doing the exercises at a faster rate than the week before. It was almost
:17:03. > :17:06.like the concept of muscle memory. The exercises I repeat in a week the
:17:07. > :17:12.basis were getting better, getting faster. Some are specifically
:17:13. > :17:15.targeted at what a nation pathways, some are silly and they laugh at
:17:16. > :17:20.themselves for doing it, because they get muddled up. Actually,
:17:21. > :17:25.anybody at any age would be the same. But they were enjoying them.
:17:26. > :17:30.So it sparked this interest that there is such a thing as muscle
:17:31. > :17:34.memory and there is definitely something in music and physical
:17:35. > :17:39.movement, repeated physical movement, that should possibly be
:17:40. > :17:43.investigated as a form of therapy. I come here every Wednesday. Enjoy it
:17:44. > :17:48.very much for stop it really gets you going. And it keeps going for a
:17:49. > :17:53.while after, too. Edinburgh University got involved with the
:17:54. > :17:59.project at the end of last year and got in contact with us. We have a
:18:00. > :18:04.ten month experiment period. The university are sending their
:18:05. > :18:09.students into our sessions to take data effectively, which will
:18:10. > :18:17.hopefully reinforce my hypotheses about dance as a form of therapy.
:18:18. > :18:24.It's fun, yes, great fun. It's just a bit of a laugh, and it's natural.
:18:25. > :18:32.People forget about being who they are and they join in. Otherwise
:18:33. > :18:37.we'll be sitting like this, sad, said two hours. There were a lot of
:18:38. > :18:44.reasons I wanted to work with older adults in this way. Having seen both
:18:45. > :18:50.my Gran and mother fall victim to dementia and how lonely that can be,
:18:51. > :18:55.and thought that providing dance and music, even for just half an hour a
:18:56. > :19:01.week, would make a huge difference to an individual's life. Well done!
:19:02. > :19:03.Amazing work! You'll have seen the extraordinary
:19:04. > :19:06.news this week, about the man jailed for shooting dead the Scottish
:19:07. > :19:08.toddler Alistair Grimason His name was Daimi Akyuz.
:19:09. > :19:12.He was released early from prison and, within a week, he was gunned
:19:13. > :19:15.down at his own wedding. Alistair Grimason's
:19:16. > :19:27.dad, David is here. Did you even know he was out of
:19:28. > :19:33.prison? I had no idea until I received a phone call from a friend
:19:34. > :19:37.in Turkey who gave me the news. How did he get out? He had a sentence
:19:38. > :19:44.that was to all intents and purposes a life sentence. We were told he
:19:45. > :19:48.would serve around 36 years. But I think with the attempted coup in
:19:49. > :19:53.Turkey last year there have been a lot of arrests and the jails are
:19:54. > :19:55.starting to be overcrowded. The reports I'm reading are that
:19:56. > :20:01.prisoners who have served more than ten years are being released, and he
:20:02. > :20:06.had served 13. That is far earlier than would have been expected. What
:20:07. > :20:11.actually happened in the incident where he himself was shot? I believe
:20:12. > :20:14.it was at his own wedding and he had stepped outside at night, at the
:20:15. > :20:19.reception, and he was approached by a gunman and the man killed him. I
:20:20. > :20:24.believe the man with him was injured as well. And what went through your
:20:25. > :20:30.mind when you first heard that? I was shocked to hear he was out, and
:20:31. > :20:33.I was disappointed to hear after the long court cases with my family and
:20:34. > :20:42.having to face him over a period of six months, that suddenly he was
:20:43. > :20:45.out. But for some reason I felt sadness as well at his death. If he
:20:46. > :20:50.had been kept in jail where he should have been, he would still be
:20:51. > :20:57.alive. At the moment, his family are suffering the way we suffered. I
:20:58. > :21:02.won't mourn his death, I should never have known him, but at the
:21:03. > :21:10.moment there are a family and have Turkey suffering the way we did. Is
:21:11. > :21:15.there any justice in this? Not for me. I take no comfort in his death.
:21:16. > :21:21.After Alistair's death we campaigned for a long time about raising
:21:22. > :21:28.awareness about the misuse of firearms in Turkey, and this is
:21:29. > :21:35.another instance of that. Here are pictures of Alistair, that we are
:21:36. > :21:39.seeing now as a toddler. As I say, it is almost 14 years on, but I
:21:40. > :21:46.imagine he is always in your thoughts. Perhaps no more so now
:21:47. > :21:50.than when all this has brought it back. He is in our thoughts
:21:51. > :21:55.everyday. It was a real injustice, what happened to him. These
:21:56. > :22:00.injustices happen throughout world. Alistair would have been 16 in
:22:01. > :22:04.January this year. He would have been leaving school and going to
:22:05. > :22:07.university soon. He never got that opportunity to enjoy his life. The
:22:08. > :22:12.man who was killed this week took that away. It seems as if Turkey has
:22:13. > :22:17.not got safer when this man can be shot down at his own wedding. I've
:22:18. > :22:24.been reading reports today that over the last five years there has been a
:22:25. > :22:31.50% increase in gun sales in Turkey. 9 million handguns and 85% are
:22:32. > :22:37.unregistered. You have taken your campaign all the way to the UN. Any
:22:38. > :22:50.sign of progress there? Yes, after I campaigned about firearms in Turkey
:22:51. > :22:55.I campaigned about the treaty to control the flow of arms. That was
:22:56. > :23:02.adopted in 2013. It is hoped that can control the flow of arms getting
:23:03. > :23:08.into conflict areas. How has your own life moved on? It's a difficult
:23:09. > :23:10.thing to live with, to have a relative or someone who has been
:23:11. > :23:16.killed at the hands of another. But you live with it and you move on. At
:23:17. > :23:26.the moment I have another son, a three-year-old son, he keeps me
:23:27. > :23:28.going and keeps a smile on my face. Thank you for coming in, David.
:23:29. > :23:31.Gun crime here in the UK is thankfully not all that common -
:23:32. > :23:33.due in part to the work of police dogs.
:23:34. > :23:36.Explosive search dogs are the elite of the elite -
:23:37. > :23:38.and one of them, Patch, has just retired after
:23:39. > :23:40.working at the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games and on
:23:41. > :24:30.Yes! Good girl! The lead will come off and I'll detach the collar from
:24:31. > :24:36.her neck and she will just wait until she is instructed to continue.
:24:37. > :24:39.Wait, wait, good girl. Find it. Good girl.
:24:40. > :24:42.Patch is here now with her police handler, PC Steve Warden,
:24:43. > :24:46.who is the dog handling lead for Aberdeen Police.
:24:47. > :24:56.Thank you for coming in. What age is she now. She is ten years old. She
:24:57. > :25:03.looks younger, I know. And she has just finished her service. Maybe at
:25:04. > :25:11.her age she would like a comfy seat. Come on, then. It's a good idea. So
:25:12. > :25:16.what does retirement mean for her? She can put her paws up with the
:25:17. > :25:24.rest of the dogs at home. She has done her part. You must have gotten
:25:25. > :25:34.attached to her. Very much so. Are we keeping you awake? We do get very
:25:35. > :25:40.attached to our dogs, they live with us at home, they are part of your
:25:41. > :25:48.day-to-day life, on duty, off duty, all the time. She still lives with
:25:49. > :25:53.you? Yes, but she's now moved inside. Tell us some of her career
:25:54. > :26:02.highs. She's met some very important people. Absolutely. She's had very
:26:03. > :26:08.good life. We've been to London 2012 Olympics, we were there for almost a
:26:09. > :26:11.month. The Commonwealth Games, various state visits and obviously
:26:12. > :26:17.royal Deeside in Aberdeen. It's a huge part of our day-to-day work
:26:18. > :26:26.when the Royal family are up. Where do I sign up? We mentioned that she
:26:27. > :26:33.is a sniffer dog, but no ordinary sniffer dog - she is a specialist.
:26:34. > :26:37.She certainly is. There are a number of specialisms and she is an
:26:38. > :26:43.explosives detection dog. There are other disciplines we can train them
:26:44. > :26:48.in, whether it be firearms, and cash and explosives. Why are spaniels
:26:49. > :26:52.particularly good at it? Just look at her. She speaks for herself. We
:26:53. > :26:59.try to stick with the gundog breeds because of search ability, search
:27:00. > :27:05.awareness. She enjoys it. Yes. And it's great fun working these dogs.
:27:06. > :27:11.Thousands of years ago into these dogs' noses. When you get the dogs
:27:12. > :27:15.from? How do you know which dog is going to be good at the job and
:27:16. > :27:24.which not? A variety of places. Rescue homes, springer spaniel
