News at One. World leaders have welcomed the narrow victory for the | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
New Democracy Party in Greece. Uncertainty remains in the concerns | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
over the party's ability to form a strong and stable government. Talks | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
have begun to form a coalition with the party's leader saying he will | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
seek changes in the terms of its bail out. This morning Germany said | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
now want the time for granting leeway. Our correspondent Matthew | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
Price is in Athens. As you just indicated, there is a sense outside | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Greece's bored thaerz this country somehow walked up to the edge of | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
the precipice, looked over the edge and just about pulled itself back. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Most Greeks wouldn't see it like that. As far as they're concerned, | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
their economic crisis still exists in the same intense levels that it | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
did before this, though the politics is slowly, this week, we | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
believe, getting cleared up. My report contains flash photography. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Greeks headed to work this morning, those that have jobs, a new leader, | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
but the same old problems weighing them down. It was a cliffhanger of | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
an election. The biggest vote, just, for the party that Europe's leaders | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
wanted. The Conservative Giorgos Samaras could smile last night. Now | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
he has to deal with the biggest debt crisis modern Greece has known. | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
I will make sure that the sacrifices of the Greek people will | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
bring the country back to prosperityment Today, he arrived at | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
the President's office to be asked to form a government that. Should | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
be possible. But it could be quite a weak one. This appointment binds | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
the eurozone -- buys the eurozone some time. Mr Samaras is likely to | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
continue the policies that Brussels and Berlin believe will bring down | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
Greek debt. Yet, the challenges are immense. And the suffering is | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
growing. We found this make-shift clinic, run by a charity, more used | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
to working in the developing world. The state cuts to hospital funding | :03:33. | :03:43. | |
part of the bail out plan. Underthe watchful eye of hipocrates, today's | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
medical students didn't believe continuing the bail out policies | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
would work. It's the same recipe that has been used for the last two | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
years. This hasn't changed anything. It only made things worse. You're | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
coming to the end of your studies. Do you think you will snai Greece | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
to work? It's not a change any more. We have to go abroad because we | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
have to work somehow. We cannot be unemployed till our 30s and 35. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Poverty levels are rising everywhere. The cost gros' lenders | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
say, the -- Greece's lenders say of bringing down debt. Some believe | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
investment is needed now. More loans to go into the day-to-day | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
societyal and business needs. Otherwise the economy will die. | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
It's dying now. Politics has inched forward here. There's no certainty | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
the economy will. Greece remains a source of instability for the | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
eurozone and beyond. I think that's exactly why politics | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
appears to be moving relatively quickly at the moment. The | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
President today said he wants a government formed immediately and | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
Giorgos Samaras, the winner of the elections, is this afternoon | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
beginning his negotiations to look for coalition partners. Explain | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
what happens next then? Well in terms of the politics, those | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
coalition negotiations could go on for two or three days. I think the | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
sums is that they will wish to -- assumption is that they wish to get | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
them done as quickly as possible. A relatively strong coalition should | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
be able to be formed with a little leeway. But of course, then the big | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
task begins, because the task here is not forming the next government. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
The task here is getting the country out of its economic | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
difficulties. Greece's international lenders have | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
indicated that their team will come back into oodgeens once a | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
government is formed -- Athens once a Government is formed to continue | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
discussions. The Greek government would hope the next couple of | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
billion in emergency funding would be handed over in time for July, | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
broadly speaking when this government would run out of money. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Then this government has to deliver its promises. That's where there is | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
going to be a lot of trouble potentially. This is a population, | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
a large amount of whom, the majority of whom one could say, | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
believe the current course is not working. Europe believes it is | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
working. Account new government find a course between the two? | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
Can the new government find a course between the two The markets | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
rose after the election. Spain is causing the main concern. Yields | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
rise ago buff 7% on its bonds. -- Rising above 7% on its bonds. Our | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
chief economics correspondent Hugh Pym reports. The City of London | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
arrived from work breathing a sigh of relief, the prospect of an early | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Greek exit from the euro faded. In early trading shares were higher. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Investors know there's uncertainty not least over whether the new | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Greek government will try to renegotiate the bail out terms. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
There will be some negotiation, what we don't know is what will tur. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
You've got to remember 22% unemployment in Greece, more | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
homeless people, yes, there will have to be some softening. Germany | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
doesn't want to lose sight of austerity and the need for | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
structural reform. The German view on any changes to the Greek bail | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
out deal was becoming clear this morning. The Foreign Minister said | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
Germany was ready to talk about the time frame, but the substance of | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
the reforms was not negotiable. The City of London and other financial | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
centres know there's a lot more to the eurozone crisis than Greece. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
And fundamental concerns are still out there. There are big question | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
marks over the sustainability of public finances in much larger | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
economies, like Italy and Spain. Spain's ten-year borrowing cost was | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
around 6.8% on Friday. This morning it jumped to 7.1%, widely regarded | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
as an unsustainable rate. Spanish taxpayer is picking up the | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
bill for recapitalising the Spanish banking system. This translates | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
into a very higher debt burden of the Spanish government and hands | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
the interest rates, the funding costs for Spain keep rising. The | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
broader concern in the market is that the Spanish government as a | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
whole will probably need some sort of bail out package. It may seem | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
like unfortunate timing that world leaders are flying it a beach | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
resort in Mexico. The German Chancellor, French President and | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
Italian Prime Minister are joining other members of the good. 20 for a | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
summit meeting. You can be sure that Greece, Spain and the future | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
of the eurozone will be high on the agenda. | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
The Prime Minister, David Cameron, will arrive shortly in Mexico. He | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
has already warned that a delay in forming a Government in Greece | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
could be very dangerous. The crisis in the eurozone and the fallout | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
from the elections in Greece will dominate the summit. Michelle | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
Fleury joins us from Los Cabos now. Top of the agenda? Well, David | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
Cameron as you mention arriving shortly. He's coming here with a | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
stark warning that inaction on the eurozone crisis could result in | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
years of stagnation or possibly even the break up of the eurozone, | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
which would be bad for Britain and bad for the global economy. He says | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
the challenge they face is as much one of political will as an | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
economic problem. Now we know the outcome of the Greek election, he's | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
also going to tell business leaders here that what's needed from | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
eurozone countries is action. They know what they need to do. The | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
question is - are they willing to make the sacrifice that will | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
entail? The big question - will anything actually come out of this | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
summit? Well, I'm standing here in an idyllic location, but will it be | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
harmony around the table when the world leaders, which control 90% of | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
all economic growth in the world, and that's the big question. I | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
think David Cameron is talking about political will. He'll have to | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
find some of his own. One of the ideas being discussed is a banking | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
union. That might potentially affect the competitiveness of | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
Britain's financial sector, something he'd be keen to protect, | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
but also at the same time, Britain as much as the rest of the eurozone | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
and the global economy, needs stability to return. I think as is | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
the case with many of these summits, people who expect world leaders to | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
leave here with all of the answers, though, to the big economic | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
challenges that we currently face, including how to promote growth, | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
may be slightly disappointed. you. | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
In France, the new President, Francois Hollande's plans to | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
promote growth and take longer to reduce the deficit have been | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
boosted in Parliamentary elections. His party won a comfortable | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
majority, freing it from relying on votes from anti-austerity parties. | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
Our business editor Robert Peston is here. So following the elections | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
in Greece, has anything actually changed? Or does the situation | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
remain as precarious as ever? remains fairly unstable. Most | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
people would say the fact that it looks as though the New Democracy | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
Party has the basis to form a reasonably stable coalition is a | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
good thing. It mean that's at least there is somebody, an institution, | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
a group of people for the eurozone to negotiate with. But it looks | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
very certain that there will still be a pretty big gap, even between | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
New Democracy, which is not as opposed to austerity as the SYRIZA | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
party, even though they're not as opposed, they still want some | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
renegotiation of the bail out package. They want a delay of a | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
couple of years in the implementation of the cuts. That is | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
not what Germany and other members say. They particularly don't want | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
that. There's uncertainty about whether or not the two sides can | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
come together. There's something more fundamental going on. One of | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
the thing's that's striking is that Spanish borrowing costs are back at | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
those dangerous, unaffordable levels. Why is that? It is because, | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
actually, as far as investors are concerned, Greece isn't the pig | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
problem, Spain is the big problem. We -- the big problem, Spain is the | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
big problem. We are a long way to seeing a solution to the | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
fundamental problems, where a number of countries don't look as | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
though they can get through the current downturn without more | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
support from the rest of the eurozone, in particular Germany and | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
Germany is not yet ready to give that financial support. There's a | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
paradox here, which is that George Osborne pointed this out last week, | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
he said funnily enough, he thought the panic caused by a Greek exit | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
could lead the eurozone to take the kind of fundamental actions | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
necessary. Curiously, the fact that the result of the Greek elections | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
may suit some eurozone leaders may have put off the reform that George | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
Osborne an the markets are looking for. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
Thank you. The Children's Minister has | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
admitted there are serious weaknesss in England's care system | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
after a report claimed young people were left vulnerable to abuse. A | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
joint investigation by a group of MPs describes the situation as a | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
scandal. Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt reports. | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
This 14-year-old knows how isolated you can feel in care. She was moved | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
away from the area and friends she knew and felt the professionals | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
meant to protect her didn't listen and didn't care. So she ran away | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
again and again. She was soon being sexually exploited by men. They | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
know that obviously you're vulnerable for a start because | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
you're unsettled and depressed where you are. Then they kind of | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
like do what they want. If you refused, like I refused one person | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
before, and I got hit in the face. Then after that, I couldn't | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
remember what happened to me, until I got brought home. Today's all- | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
party Parliamentary report says children who go missing from care | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
are being put in great danger. It calls for an independent | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
investigation into children's homes, which are failing to protect | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
children. There should be urgent action to reduce out of borough | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
placements, which mean children can be sent hundreds of miles from home | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
and better data is needed on the number of children running away | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
from care. It is a scandal that children that we take into care to | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
protect and safe guard them are in the care system further damaged, | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
further exploited and groomed. That is a scandal. I think the public | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
pressure will be such that, I hope, the Government will take account of | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
that public opinion and make the changes that need to be made. | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Parental responsibility for children in care lies with local | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
authorities. They say the report makes uncomfortable reading, but | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
point out, when children are moved to a new area, there may be a good | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
reason. If you have a child who's been the victim of violence or | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
sexual abuse, the last thing you would do is put them in a | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
children's home round the corner, where the person making them a | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
victim can easily get at them. Often Councils look to break that | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
cycle by finding the child somewhere to begin a new start away | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
from the abuser. The Government says the failing is highlighted in | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
the care system are unacceptable and it will set out urgent next | :15:33. | :15:43. | |

Tom Maynard has died after being hit by a tube train this morning. | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
The 23-year-old, the son of Matthew Maynard was tipped as a future | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
England international. Surrey Cricket Club said he was a talented | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
batsman. The final report into the PIP | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
breast implant scandal concluded that the gel material does not | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
cause a long-term threat to human health, but the reviews say that | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
the implants, filled with non- medical grade silicone, do have a | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
higher rupture rate. So, in terms of long-term damage to | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
women's health, this is not as bad as some thought it would be? | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
should be reassuring for the 47,000 women who have PIP implants. The | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
review led by Sir Brce Keogh, the medical NHS director looked at | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
worldwide evidence and said that they found very little difference | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
in the chemical composition of the unauthorised gel filler used, | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
compared to medical grade filler. There was one substance found in | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
other implants, but at higher levels than the PIP implants, but | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
even said this was not a long-term health risk. On the issue of breast | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
cancer, they said that the incidence of breast cancer of women | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
with the PIP breast implants is lower than the general population | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
and no evidence from testing that the implant called damage cells. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
What did emerge was the rupture rate. That was higher than thought. | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
That can cause problems? Yes, these are sub-standard the implants. They | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
are not as strong as other implants. It, roughly, equated to a double | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
the rate of ruptures. Something like 15 to 30% ruptured in ten | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
years. That could cause problems such as swelling, swollen limp | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
nodes and tenderness, but no long- term health risk. So the question | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
for women is do they keep the implants? Most appear to have done. | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
Several hundreds have decided to have them removed. | :17:50. | :17:55. | |

Queeen's Club. In Egypt, supporters of the Muslim | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
Brotherhood are flocking to Tahrir Square after its candidate, | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
Mohammed Morsi claimed he had clinched victory for the Islamists | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
in the presidential election, but in an announcement by the ruling | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
military koifl, that it had granted itself new powers has overshadowed | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
the result and mounting to allegationss that the army has | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
mounted a coup. Jon Leyne is in Cairo for us now. | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
After taking the new powers last night, the ruling military council | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
today has come out to reassure Egyptian it is is committed to the | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
hand over to civilian rule. A senior general said that they would | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
not interfere with the rule of the new President, but it is unlikely | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
to satisfy the op -- opposition, who believe that the military have | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
taken back many of the hard-won gains of the last year's revolution. | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
Is it a celebration or demonstration? Muslim Brotherhood | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
supporters in Tahrir Square believe that Mohammed Morsi is the new | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
President. But they are furious that the | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
ruling military council have seized back the power to make laws, | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
control a budget and even to write the constitution. | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
We are very angry. This is not the responsibility to decide that for | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
This is the responsibility of the President, for the Parliament, for, | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
they can't make laws now, at least after the power went from them. | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
They can't return it back. The opposition have called it a | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
military coup, but not many have come out here to protest against it. | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
Once again the demonstrators are out in force in Tahrir Square, | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
demanding the end to military rule, but do these people represent | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
Egypt? Or is it these Egyptians, trying to get to work on a Monday | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
morning? Out here in the souks and the alleyways, many have grown | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
weary of politics. They want the country to get back to normal. | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
It is time to go back to work. We need not to go to Tahrir Square. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Enough. That's the sort of sentiment that | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
the military may be banking on as they take back many of the gains of | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
the revolution. Today, soldiers prevented MPs from | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
going into the Parliament, elected with such celebration late last | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
year. Now it is officially dissolved. Counting is continuing | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
in the presidential election. It is clear that the result will be close. | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
If Mohammed Morsi is the winner, he may be President in little more | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
than name only. Are the Muslim Brotherhood prepared to live with | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
that? Or will they join with the rest of the opposition in mounting | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
a new challenge tow military rule? So, the first question facing Egypt, | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
how much of a fight are the Muslim Brotherhood and the rest of the | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
opposition going to put up? Canle military withstand another round of | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
protests on the streets, or have they overplayed their hand? And if | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
the military get past the initial opposition, can they return Egypt | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
to the prosperity that is to be the only guarantee that this country | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
will return to stability? In the last hour another sister of Shafila | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
Ahmed has been giving evidence at Chester Crown Court in the trial of | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
their parents. Previously, Alesha Ahmed told the court she had seen | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
her parents murder Shafila Ahmed in Warrington in 2003. | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
Iftikhar Ahmed and Forza Italia deny the charges. | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
Judith Moritz is in the courts for us -- Farzana Ahmed. | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
This is the first time that the court has heard in mess mess -- | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Sehreen Shafaat. She was asked when she had last seen her sister. She | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
told the court it was on the evening of the 11th September, 2003. | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
That is the day that the prosecution alleged that Iftikhar | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
Ahmed and Farzana Ahmed murdered their daughter. | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
Sehreen Shafaat said she had gone to bed as normal. When she woke up | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
the next day that her sister was not there. | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
She said that she had assumed that her sister had run away, but then | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
the pros cure -- prosecutor presented the court with written | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
documents in the girl's handwriting. Saying that the documents had been | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
shown to the police by a friend of the daughter. It was said that | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
these documents were letters that were written to the girl's friend | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
about the sister's death. Then she said that they were not letters, | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
but free writing, fiction, make- believe, not even about themselves. | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
So they were just beginning now in the court to look at the letters, | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
the content of them. The court has risen for lunch and are expecting | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
the sister to continue in the witness box this afternoon. | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
Iftikhar Ahmed and the mother deny murdering their daughter, Shafila | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
Ahmed, who was 17 years old. Caresers who look after sick or | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
disabled relatives at home are putting their own health at risk by | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
delaying visits to the doctor. In a survey it showed that four out of | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
five had said that their own health had suffered because of the role | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
that they were taking on. Tracy Sloan knows how demanding it | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
can be caring for someone disabled or vulnerable. Her son has cerebral | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
palsy and needs full-time care. -- -- she has been treated after | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
cancer, but has had no time away from her responsibilities to | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
rerecover. Philip comes first. Other things | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
get left to the side. You get round to doing them, but sometimes it is | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
two or three months later. I left my own health this time. My last | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
smear test a couple of months ago was fine, I thought it would be OK. | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
Many carers go through the same thing. A coalition of charities | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
questioned over 3,000 people and found that almost 40% put off | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
having medical treatment because of their responsibilities. More than | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
80% said that their physical and mental health suffered. | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
This amount of ill health is worrying. If that ill health leads | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
the carer to crack up, then we have two problems, the person that they | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
have been caring for and the individual themselves to try to | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
sort out. The Department of Health said that | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
carers like Tracy made invaluable contributions to society. The NHS | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
should make these people a high priority. | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
The police are investigating an allegations of assault against the | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
tennis player, David Nalbandian. The Argentinian injured a line | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
judge during the final at the Queeen's Club in London yesterday. | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
He was disqualified for unsportsman like conduct. Andrew McDougall | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
needed treatment for the injury to his shin. | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
England play their final group game at Euro 2012 tomorrow. Wayne Rooney | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
is expected to be in the starting line-up after sitting out the first | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
two games bafr the a ban. He says that England can win the | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
championship and puts the success down to the relaxed atmosphere in | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
the team camp. A frustrated fan for the first two | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
matches, he has served his time. Tomorrow night in the Ukrainian, it | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
is time to release Wayne Rooney on Euro 2012. | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
Yeah, I'm hoping to contribute to the team. To do well in the | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
tournament. You know, I think as a team, we have high standards. | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
Certainly myself. I set myself high standards. I put pressure on myself | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
to do well. It's been eight years since he | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
scored a goal at a major championship as an 18-year-old in | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
Euro 2004. Roy Hodgson is his fourth England | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
manager and will put him into the side. He has been impressed by | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
Wayne Rooney's influence in the squad. | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
In training sessions he is lively, enthusiastic and he has been a | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
catalyst for good performances in training. That is very positive. | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
England should extend the stay at their Krakow base. Yes, Wayne | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
Rooney's return is going to give them a big lift, but they have done | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
pretty well without him so far. That is Walcott! Theo Walcott gave | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
them the spark that they needed against Sweden. His involvement | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
tomorrow night is in the balance, though, a hamstring problem has | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
returned. That puts more pressure on Wayne Rooney to deliver. | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
He puts the ball in the net. That is what he is there for. He is | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
going to bring football home to England. This is our year. | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
Wayne Rooney has declared that England can, with a bit of luck, | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
win this tournament, but even in a city where the strange and the | :27:48. | :27:54. | |
bizarrely is celebrated daily, that would surely top the lot. | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
And finally, an unexpected stop for the Olympic Flame this morning. 25- | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
year-old David State, a charity Frazer and British Red Cross | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
volunteer walked to his pregnant girlfriend, Christine Langham and | :28:08. | :28:14. | |
proposed. He was even carrying a ring! And of | :28:14. | :28:20. | |
course, you will be pleased to know she said "yes", do the delight of | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
the crowd. Then Mr State continued on his way. | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
He gave the torch to somebody and gave me a cuddle. That was nice. | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
Then he got down on one knee, I nearly passed out. I nearly had my | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
baby there and then! Congratulations to both of them. | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
Now let's have a look at the Now let's have a look at the | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
weather with lawyer yab Tobin. Finally good news for us, for a few | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
days. A brief glimmer of summer. Finally starting to feel like June, | :28:48. | :28:54. | |
drier and warmer than it has been, but it does not last all week. | :28:54. | :29:01. | |
Later this week there will be more rain. The radar has shown that the | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
rain was in the south-east. It has cleared away. There is rain in | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
Northern Ireland. It is heavy, but most places today are dry with lots | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
of sunshine. Showers are to develop in the | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
afternoon. The focus of the heavier showers are in the north-east of | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
Scotland. Elsewhere, the focus is really on | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
things being drier, brighter, with light winds in the June sunshine | :29:25. | :29:32. | |
and temperatures up to 18 Celsius. We could get up to 20 Celsius today. | :29:32. | :29:37. | |
There are splatters of blue across the map. | :29:37. | :29:43. | |
A few showers dotted around. The northern areas of Cornwall, Devon, | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
perhaps into the west country, the Midlands could see a few, but you | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
are more likely to stay dry, unless you live in Northern Ireland. It is | :29:52. | :29:58. | |
cool, cloudy and wet here. Rain coulding heavy later on. | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
Through the evening, many places ending on a fine, dry note. | :30:02. | :30:07. | |
Northern Ireland improving in the night. As it turns drier and the | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
rain then pushes into Scotland. A damp night here. | :30:12. | :30:19. | |
In the north it is chilly but elsewhere, typically 10 to 13 | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
Celsius. So again, sunny spells and scatter | :30:23. | :30:27. | |
showers over the north-east of Scotland and England but few and | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
far between. You are more likely to be dry with sunshine. Temperatures | :30:31. | :30:39. | |
up on today's 19 to 21 Celsius, so it is looking fine to start Royal | :30:39. | :30:41. | |
Ascot tomorrow. Sunshine here. The winds will be | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
light, the sun will be out, but it is not set to last. This is how it | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
looks for the rest of us on Wednesday. A repeat performance. | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, very similar. By Wednesday with the | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
sunshine, a few showers we could be up to 22 Celsius, but as I | :30:57. | :31:02. | |
mentioned it is not set to last for long. By Thursday there is heavy | :31:02. | :31:07. | |
rain and even thunder storms, so turning cooler, but my advice, make | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
the most the sunshine for the next few days as maybe that is all we | :31:11. | :31:18. | |
are going to get. The top story: Relief as a pro-bail | :31:18. | :31:24. |
