A violation of UN security resolutions. North Korea's third | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
nuclear test provokes condemnation. With fears Pyongyang is closer to | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
building a warhead, there's been criticism from around the world. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
The North Korea continues in this way it will face increasing | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
isolation and pressure from all of the members of the Security Council. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
The Government's back-to-work scheme it suffers a setback after | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
judges agree with a university graduate's claim that schemes have | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
been operating illegally. As food testing continues to discover the | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
extent of the horsemeat scandal, more crisis talks between the | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
government and the food industry. Barclays is to cut at least 3700 | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
jobs as part of a restructuring plan. In Rome, after yesterday's | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
shock announcement from Pope Benedict, attention is turning to | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
On BBC London. Be prepared to pay more for tickets at Heathrow if a | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
five year investment gets approved. And we find out why City Hall | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
:01:22. | :01:36. | ||
hasn't spent �100 million aimed at Welcome to the programme. The UN | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Security Council will meet in an hour's time to discuss North | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
Korea's decision to carry out a third nuclear test, in defiance of | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
United Nations warnings. There's been international condemnation and | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
criticism, even from North Korea's Major ally, China. With fears | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Pyongyang is closer to building a warhead small enough to armour | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
missile, William Hague called for new sanctions, which he said should | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
be backed by China. After weeks of stonewalling, North Korea did what | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
everyone told it not to. A nuclear test never fails to bring the | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
country together. In the absence of political freedom or guaranteed | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
meals, at least it is something to celebrate. The bomb North Korea | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
exploded underground at this Monckton test site was, it said, | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
smaller, lighter and more powerful than before. And it has made this | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
man more powerful in return. Kim Jong Un has only been North Korea's | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
leader for just over a year, but he's already fired off two long- | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
range rockets, and now one nuclear test. Each a direct challenge to | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
the world's major powers. They are still at the -- still trying to | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
perfect and work on the techie and -- technical aspects of the | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
programme. But it also shows a political dimension to it. They | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
will continue using their bargaining chips. The UN Security | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Council has called an emergency meeting and made swift reactions on | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
both sides of the Pacific. If North Korea continues in this way it will | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
face increasing isolation and increasing pressure from all of the | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
members of the Security Council. I hope that will be very clear at the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
meeting that will be held in New York today. But it's the response | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
of these men that will determine North Korea's future. China's new | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
leaders are growing increasingly tired of Pyongyang's rebellious | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
ways. By defying its main ally, North Korea has presented Beijing | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
with a very public test of its own. The options facing the | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
international community are has been as ever. Sanctions, the old | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
favourite, haven't worked. China's influence also seems to be waning. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
In the meantime, the world's least predictable nuclear state has, it | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
says, drawn one step closer to a viable, long-distance nuclear | :03:59. | :04:09. | |
weapon. Let's get reaction from Washington. Options are thin on the | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
ground. The UN Security Council is going to meet but realistically, | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
what are their options? Weaker next big immediately what they will do | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
is give some sort of statement condemning the nuclear tests. The | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Americans will be pushing hard for his strong statement. The Americans | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
are furious about this. President Obama has already called the test a | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
highly provocative act that threatens international security. | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
We can expect the Security Council to start thinking about yet another | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
round of sanctions against North Korea. There are already sanctions | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
in place, including a big arms embargo, a prohibition on importing | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
nuclear and military related technology, luxury goods, that sort | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
of thing. We can expect this to be strengthened. But the big question | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
is - can these sanctions ever really be effective while China | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
isn't really doing its best to implement them? That is what the | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Americans think the Chinese are doing. Can sanctions work if China | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
is not really serious about them? Gordon Corera is with me in the | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
studio. How concerned should we be about this? No we should be, | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
because of the size that North Korea might be making technical | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
moves forward. It might be close to some breakthroughs. It looks like | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
the size of the explosion is more significant than in previous tests | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
it has carried out. What intelligence agencies will be | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
trying to establish is firstly, what kind of material was used? | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
They have previously used plutonium, but there are concerns they might | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
be trying to develop a uranium bomb. As a limited supply of plutonium | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
they have but they have more potential to build many more bombs | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
using uranium. Secondly, the North Koreans claimed they had | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
miniaturised this bomb. If you want to deliver a nuclear weapon, you | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
need to put it on a missile. A very complicated feat which requires | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
miniaturising it. If they have miniaturised it and you put that | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
together with the rocket launch to launch a satellite that they | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
conducted in December, that is a worrying sign. It could mean | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
potentially, if they are really successful on this, they could be | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
able to launch a nuclear missile eventually at the United States and | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
certainly against Japan and South Korea, much closer to them. | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
Government's back-to-work schemes have suffered a setback after the | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Court of Appeal ruled that the regulations for some were created | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
unlawfully. The ruling came as a university graduate won her claim | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
that requiring her to work free at a problem store was unlawful. But | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
the government says it will take on new regulations to ensure the | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
schemes are lawful. How significant is this? You probably recall that | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Kate Riley, the 21-year-old graduate who says she was forced to | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
work in Ponteland, she said that it breached her human rights. Secondly, | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
that she believed the government regulations, all of these work | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
first schemes were based upon, that those regulations were unlawful. | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
She initially lost her case and bulk both counts, but today the | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Court of Appeal has ruled that those regulations upon which most | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
of the Government's work experience schemes are based, that those | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
regulations are unlawful. This is very embarrassing for the | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
government. Some say it has put the entire arrangements and programmes | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
into some sort of disarray. About an hour ago, Ms Riley came out and | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
give us her reaction to the news. I don't think I'm above working in | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
shops like pound land. I now work part-time in a supermarket. It's | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
just that I get -- expect to get paid for working. I hope the | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
government will rethink its strategy and do something which | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
actually builds on unemployed people's skills and tackles the | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
cause of long-term unemployment. I agree we need to get people back to | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
work, but the best way of doing that is by helping them not | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
punishing them. The government says it is going to seek to appeal | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
against this to the highest court, the Supreme Court. This morning, | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
the Employment Minister, Mark Hoban, has told the BBC that as a result | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
of this decision, he is seeking to act immediately. We are introducing | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
emergency regulations to deal with the comments of the court today. We | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
will ensure that people will continue to be required to | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
undertake activity that will help them into work. It's the right | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
thing to happen. Where the difference is between ourselves and | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
the Court of Appeal is about how much detail they should be in the | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
regulations. There's a degree of legal uncertainty this morning. It | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
is certainly very embarrassing for the government. The government | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
insists there's no change to people who are either on a scheme or about | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
to go on a scheme. The new regulations being placed in | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Parliament will mean that schemes going forward are lawful. It is | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
also making the point that anybody who didn't go on one of these | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
schemes and lost benefits, bears some suggestion they may be able to | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
get those benefits back. The government is saying that simply | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
isn't going to happen and that it's business as usual. Food producers, | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
retailers and the Food Standards Agency have been summoned to | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
another meeting with ministers today, to discuss the discovery of | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
horsemeat in Mautby products. Tomorrow there is an EU summit on | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
whether processed meals should have to be labelled with the meat's | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
country of origin. From Findus beef lasagne to these Aldi own brand | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
ready meals, and now this product from Tesco - all produced from the | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
same French factory and contaminated with horsemeat. The | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
question now, is this an isolated case or a taste of a far wider | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
problem? The Environment Secretary briefed cabinet colleagues today | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
and will chair another meeting with the food industry tonight, as tests | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
continued on processed beef products. Some of that testing has | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
been done here in Hamburg, where they regularly test for horsemeat. | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
They are now working flat out on samples from many countries. | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
have two different types of samples that we are being sent. One is the | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
standard to see standards, the quality control sample that | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
customers send on a routine basis. Those samples tend to be free from | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
all speed. However, not the samples that we are receiving from new | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
customers, we are receiving a large number of samples which have high | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
levels of horsemeat in them. As the scandal spreads, family butchers | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
like this one in Kent are winning new customers. They are interested | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
in where their products and foods are coming from, namely the | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
beefburgers, sausages, ready made things, even our own home-made | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
lasagne. So how did horsemeat produced here in Romania apparently | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
get labelled as beef and ended up in frozen ready meals? The French | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
authorities may give the results of their investigation as early as | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
:11:29. | :11:31. | ||
The criticism of the government is it needs to get a grip. It's | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
difficult to know what they are trying to get a grip of. Ministers | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
are desperate to try and draw a line under this crisis, because | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
every day it drags on. Public confidence is ebbing away. Instead, | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
they find themselves in the position of a Fat Controller on a | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
spectacularly bad day, yanking at the levers and not much happening. | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
Why? They say it's because they have no control over the crisis, | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
because it is happening across the Channel in meat processing plants | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
and abattoirs in other countries. The system, which is meant to be | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
policed by the European Commission, and when they are having to wait on | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
the men in white coats who are carrying out the tests on the | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
processed meat products that we eat here. But those tests aren't going | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
to be completed until Friday. In the meantime, it seems to me | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
ministers are engaged in make busy. Holding meetings with distributors, | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
retailers and EU officials, to try and counter the charge of | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
opposition politicians that they are doing nothing. The Fisherman's | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
Friends singer Trevor Grills has died in hospital after he was | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
seriously injured at a concert venue in Guildford. The group | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
announced that he died last night as a result of severe head injuries, | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
inflicted after he was hit by a falling metal door on Saturday. The | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
tour manager, Paul McDonald -- Paul McMullan, also died in the incident. | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
The day after Pope Benedict's shock announcement that he is to resign, | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
Catholics around the world are anxious to know who will succeed | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
him. The resignation opens the door to an array of possible successors | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
from Europe, Africa and South America. His final address will be | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
at St Peter's Square on Friday 27th. A day later, there will be an ex- | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
Pope. By Easter there will be a new Pope and ex-Pope. This is why the | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
Catholic Church is almost going into uncharted territory for | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
something like 600 years when this occurs. You are right, the | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
questions are already being focused. Is it going to be a younger or | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
older Pope? Is it going to be a liberal or conservative Pope? Is it | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
going to be someone from the developing world or the developed | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
world from Europe, as it has always been until now? There's an awful | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
lot of questions and very few answers for the time being. Let's | :13:50. | :14:00. | |
:14:00. | :14:01. | ||
get this report from our Europe correspondent. Towards the Vatican, | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
into the secrets held within. The tourists focused on the sites. But | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
behind them, behind the stunning facade, officials are already | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
planning for the appointment of a new Pope. The Vatican was obliged | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
to allow us a peek into its world today. A news conference with more | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
questions, perhaps, than answers. TRANSLATION: Views are living | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
through these days with a great deal of serenity. After all, it's | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
not a decision that was made at the last minute. It's a decision that | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
was well founded, very spiritual as far as they this concerned and from | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
the human point of view. The inner workings of the Vatican of obscure | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
and hidden. And yet what happens inside this church has a profound | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
impact right the way around the world. The next Pope's stance on | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
issues like contraception, abortion, the right of women to become | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
priests have an effect not just on the world's 1.3 billion Catholics, | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
it also, to a certain extent, affects all of us. Most of the | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
cardinals who will vote for their next leader were appointed by Pope | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
Benedict. So who could take over? Perhaps it's time for the first | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
African leader, Ghana's popular Peter Turkson is on some lists. | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Almost half of Catholics are Latin- American. The Archbishop of Sao | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
Paulo is the front-runner from there. Some mentioned the Canadian, | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
Mark Bouillet, a traditionalist, like Pope Benedict. More likely is | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
a European. Perhaps the current Archbishop of Milan, Angelo Scola. | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
In Germany today, the Pope's brother insisted whoever it is, | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
Benedict will not seek to influence them. | :15:42. | :15:46. | |

they fear their lives will be in danger from the Taliban when UK | :18:36. | :18:39. | |

to convince them that my life is in danger. He is not alone, in Helmand | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
we were approached by a group of interpreters still serving with | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
British forces. But now fear for what will happen when we leave. We | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
cannot show their faces, but they highlight the dangers they face. | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
is definitely they will target me to kill me. Local people, they say | :19:53. | :20:02. | |
in Fidel to us also. They have put their lives on the line, joining | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
troops on patrol. More than 20 interpreters working for the | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
British have already lost their lives. Those who did the same job | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
in Iraq were offered asylum and this only adds to their sense of | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
injustice. All we want exactly the same. They will all be targeted. | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
They should think about us. Special programmes have been set up to | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
allow other interpreters to it applied for asylum, Britain has not. | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
The MoD has insisted it won't abandon its interpreters, but so | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
far the UK Government says it will only consider individual claims, | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
based on merit. But the senior US General on the right, who has just | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
handed over command of NATO forces, believes the Afghan interpreters | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
are owed a debt. I think we have an obligation to look after them. Each | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
country in its own way, based on its Government and immigration | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
regulations have come to grips with that. In other conflicts like this, | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
the nations involved have made special efforts. They have taken | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
sides in this war, but their last hope is now an illegal challenge | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
demanding they be given the same rights as those who served with the | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
British in Iraq. Barclays is to cut 3,700 jobs after | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
it unveiled a restructuring programme, but very few of the | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
losses will be in the UK. The bank reported a plunge in profits last | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
year mainly due to scandals over miss-selling payment protection and | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
the fixing of the inter-bank lending rate. Its new Chief | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
Executive says he hopes to change the bank's culture. Here's our | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
chief economics correspondent, Hugh Pym. | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
It was a year to forget for Barclays, with the storm raising | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
after its involvement in the LIBOR fixing scandal was revealed. The | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
boss at the time, Bob Diamond quit, with the chairman and director | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
leaving soon afterwards. The new Barclays chief sets out how he | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
wanted to change to the bank. were too aggressive, we were too | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
short-term focus and on occasion, too self-serving. What we're | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
talking about is building a better Barclays that learns from those | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
experiences, that will deliver for all of the stakeholders. Today's | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
presentation was not in London, but at a venue near Westminster and | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
with various buzzwords displayed, the impression Barclays is trying | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
to create, is this is a bank moving in a new direction. There will be | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
job cuts in investment banking, bonuses will be reduced and the | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
unit helping clients with tax avoidance will close. Closing-down | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
the tax avoidance Unit, taking out 1800 staff, plus more. It is | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
significant changes. We will see if it and spills over into a cultural | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
change. No selling of payment protection insurance on things like | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
credit card has hit the coffers. They have had to increase the | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
amount set aside for compensation. You were running Barclaycard at a | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
time when PPI was being sold, do you take your share of | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
responsibility? I do take responsibility for the time I spent | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
at Barclaycard, for everything that happened at Barclaycard, including | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
the PPI issue. It is important we learn from the past and change the | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
way we run the business going forward. He now has to convince | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
customers he can change the culture, even though he was part of the old | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
regime and also convince shareholders, he can boost the | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
profits. Inflation has remained at 2.7% for | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
the 4th month in a road. It is the longest period inflation has | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
remained unchanged since records began. The Bank of England target | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
is 2%. The trial of a couple accused of | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
killing their six children in a Derby house fire last May opened | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
this morning at Nottingham Crown Court. Mick and Mairead Philpott, | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
along with a third defendant, Paul Mosley, deny six counts of | :24:12. | :24:22. | |
manslaughter. Our correspondent, Jon Brain, is outside the court. | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
Dramatic scenes in the courtroom as a distressing 999 call was played | :24:28. | :24:37. | |
to the jury made her by the parents last night. As the call was made, | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
Michael Philpott tried to get out of his seat in the dock. He was | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
made to sit down. He had his hands class post to his ears. That is the | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
prosecution case he and his wife were responsible for the fire. But | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
Richard lay them prosecuting said the intention was not to kill. We | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
say this was a plan which went horribly wrong and resulted in | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
total tragedy. What was the motive? According to the prosecution, | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
Michael Philpott was living with a wife and a mistress and 11 children. | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
The mistress, Leasowe Willis decided to leave because he was so | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
controlling. And that was the catalyst. A custody hearing was due | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
at the court the morning of the fire. According to the prosecution | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
he tried to set his mistress up by saying she made death threats and | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
someone was trying to torch the house and to kill the children. | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
That trial continues. Would you be confident of spotting | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
the signs of dementia in someone you didn't know? The charity | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
Alzheimers UK claims one in three people over 65 will develop | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
dementia. Now the Government wants to train a million people in | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
England to become what they call 'Dementia Friends' who are able to | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
spot signs of the illness, and help sufferers. Jenny Hill has the story. | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
In this town, it does not matter if you cannot remember. This is the | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
Tea Cosy Memory Cafe. He Geoff and Ruth are regulars and nine years | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
ago she was diagnosed with dementia. As the illness progresses, it gets | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
worse. But she is quite happy, she lives in a world of her own. I | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
still recognise her as my wife, I still do things for her. There are | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
times when you do not feel that at all. A does anybody want a bacon | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
sandwich? They serve up support and friendship, but the cafe is just a | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
start. It is among 20 places in the UK aiming to become dementia | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
friendly communities. The cafe, a bank, a supermarket where they can | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
designate a quiet corner and may be a member of staff, not necessary | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
fully-trained in dementia care, just a bit of knowledge. It is a | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
place where people who are a bit confused or disorientated can go. | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
It is thought more than a million people in the UK will have dementia. | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
One in every three people over the age of 65 develops the condition. | :27:11. | :27:20. | |
Many of them live in the community. These are two areas of the brain... | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
It is why one charity plans to train dementia friends. Anyone is | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
welcome and that the session at Leamy to a lady whose grandfather | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
died of the condition. He would always go out and get his newspaper | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
in the morning. He did not know what changed to use any more or | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
what paper he went out to buy in the first place. If the shop | :27:43. | :27:49. | |
workers could notice he had dementia, they could assist him. | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
has been used as the Cinderella story of the NHS. It has been | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
underfunded. We want to turn that around. We want a million people | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
out there to be dementia friends. Back at the Cafe, most agree. The | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
Norman told us he had been accused of shoplifting. He had simply | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
forgotten where he was. You just forget things. I can remember | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
things 20, 30 years ago. Things you have just said to me now, I had | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
practically forgotten. People here know the condition will only get | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
worse. What they can improve is how they are treated by the wider | :28:27. | :28:36. | |
community. Allegations of bad behaviour spread | :28:36. | :28:42. | |
through Westminster day during the annual pancake race. MPS triumphed | :28:42. | :28:47. | |
over teams from the House of Lords and the media. They were raising | :28:47. | :28:57. | |
:28:57. | :29:08. | ||
money for mental health. Today's weather relatively quiet. | :29:08. | :29:14. | |
Extensive cloud covering the British Isles. If you brakes coming | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
over from the North Sea and could make its way onto the coast of | :29:18. | :29:23. | |
North up by the end of the afternoon. We will have some sunny | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
spells in Scotland. Eastern side of Scotland, the cloud will thicken up | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
to bring widespread showers. Brightness for the western side of | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
Wales, but for most of England and Wales it is a great Anne Keothavong | :29:37. | :29:47. | |
day. The air is dry and that Feel. It is going to feel cold out | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
and about. Overnight, temperatures for a way quickly so the frost will | :29:52. | :29:58. | |
set in. We could see some icy roads developing as temperatures fall | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
subs zeroth. A band of rain across Northern Ireland and as it comes | :30:02. | :30:07. | |
into the cold or her in Scotland, it will increasingly turn to snow. | :30:07. | :30:14. | |
Wednesday will be snowy and windy, particularly across Scotland. The | :30:14. | :30:18. | |
winds it in the Western Isles of to 60 mph. It is not the wind that | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
most people will notice across Scotland, it is the snow. 10 to 15 | :30:23. | :30:28. | |
centimetres across the Highlands. Tuta for developing across the | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
central belt. Maybe up to 15 centimetres of the Southern Uplands | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
and across the Pennine routes are badly affected as we get towards | :30:36. | :30:40. | |
the middle part of the day Frostrup even at lower levels across the | :30:40. | :30:47. | |
Midlands we could see some centimetres. It will cross over | :30:47. | :30:51. | |
towards the Pennines. To the East Lea could see some rain falling on | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
frozen surfaces. Things could get icy over the Pennines and across | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
north-east England as well. Another cold day for most of us, but | :30:59. | :31:04. | |
turning mild or from the West. On Wednesday night, the snow will tend | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
to turn back to rain. This weather front will sweep across the British | :31:08. | :31:13. | |
Isles. The wind will bring brighter skies and we will see a return to | :31:13. | :31:17. | |
normal temperatures for this time of year. Typically seven or eight | :31:17. | :31:23. |
