:00:00. > :00:13.are. Train passengers have had to contend
:00:14. > :00:20.with the first of three weekend part-closures of a
:00:21. > :00:24.key London to Scotland rail route. Work on an ?81 million improvement
:00:25. > :00:27.plan means the West Coast Line will be closed between Euston station
:00:28. > :00:40.and Hemel Hempstead this weekend. It was quiet at Houston today.
:00:41. > :00:44.Evenly so, with hardly any passengers and even fewer trains. It
:00:45. > :00:48.is exactly what Network Rail wanted to happen this weekend. We are
:00:49. > :00:50.renewing the track and the signalling and the only way we can
:00:51. > :00:54.do it is by shutting down the railway completely for a very long
:00:55. > :00:58.time which would inconvenience a lot of people, or else do it in
:00:59. > :01:02.piecemeal blocks. This is what is causing all the disruption, and ?81
:01:03. > :01:07.million project to replace power lines, cable and track at Watford.
:01:08. > :01:10.When it is finished, it is hoped passengers won't notice anything
:01:11. > :01:15.other than a trouble-free journey. So for the next three weekends,
:01:16. > :01:18.there will be just this hourly Virgin service to and from the
:01:19. > :01:21.Midlands diverted along the Chiltern line. Network Rail says the warnings
:01:22. > :01:26.to passengers have been heeded for the most part. I travel to Euston
:01:27. > :01:30.station 34 times a week and I have not seen any leaflets or anything
:01:31. > :01:33.come around. I was supposed to be going back to Liverpool, I have not
:01:34. > :01:38.realise there are any train so I will have to delay my trip to next
:01:39. > :01:41.week. If you are using London Midland, this is how you get in and

:01:56. > :01:58.is Monday, when there will be reduced services well into the
:01:59. > :02:02.afternoon. People are being told that their timetables will not be
:02:03. > :02:06.their regular ones. So the advice may be well worn but it applies more
:02:07. > :02:09.than ever, check before you travel and be prepared to wait.

:02:48. > :02:51.abused by her care home nurse. Bridget Rees was repeatedly
:02:52. > :02:56.manhandled in the Mary Seacole Nursing Home in Hackney last year. I
:02:57. > :03:01.went in one day and she said a nurse punch me in the face. And I said
:03:02. > :03:07.what did you do then? She said I punched her back. Her family became
:03:08. > :03:12.suspicious and secretly installed CCTV, hidden in this clock, in the
:03:13. > :03:17.NHS run home. There they filmed her being treated roughly by this lady.
:03:18. > :03:22.The slapping, the poking. Wood slapping her arm down. She has a big

:03:29. > :03:32.ill-treatment and wilful neglect and given four months in prison. After
:03:33. > :03:37.being moved to a new care home, Bridget Rees died of pneumonia but
:03:38. > :03:41.her family have lodged a petition and are calling on the government to
:03:42. > :03:45.install CCTV in all care homes across the country. If we had been
:03:46. > :03:50.able to have the CCTV camera all the way through, we definitely would
:03:51. > :03:54.have. The sector regulator are exploring whether CCTV might be used
:03:55. > :03:58.in future to stamp out abuse at care homes. At the same time, though,
:03:59. > :04:04.they recognise they have a responsibility to protect people's

:04:19. > :04:21.anyone available for interview, but in a statement they told us that
:04:22. > :04:27.following the incident they carried out a full investigation. They say
:04:28. > :04:31.they have now reviewed their recruitment policy and in short all
:04:32. > :04:36.staff are trained in safeguarding adults and safe practice. For Donna

:04:41. > :04:43.family or any elderly vulnerable person to be put on the situation my
:04:44. > :04:45.Nan was in. I would not want that to happen to any other person, it has
:04:46. > :04:48.been dreadful. Weather now, and tomorrow will start
:04:49. > :04:52.off wet, with some heavy bursts of rain, becoming lighter during the
:04:53. > :04:54.day, with some brighter spells later That's it,
:04:55. > :05:16.we'll be back tomorrow evening, Good evening. Conditions in the next
:05:17. > :05:19.24 hours may not match those of the big storms of autumn and winter but
:05:20. > :05:24.they will make for an unpleasant summer staples of already some

:05:36. > :05:37.western areas as we start the day, but let's concentrate on the
:05:38. > :05:41.southern half of the country for tomorrow, this is where the wettest
:05:42. > :05:43.and windiest conditions will be to begin with. Rain spreading across
:05:44. > :05:49.some parts, some of which will be heavy. Strong winds across the South
:05:50. > :05:52.coast and then another surge which could cause some damage pushing in
:05:53. > :05:56.from the west later. The most persistent rain will be in Wales and
:05:57. > :06:00.the Midlands, many will turn dry and brighter through the afternoon. For
:06:01. > :06:03.the middle half of the country, just one or two showers to start off, but
