England's most senior doctor warns that obesity in women is now

Dame Sally Davies says tackling obesity should be a national

England's top doctor says obesity in women should be treated

Dame Sally Davies says it's one of the greatest risks to health,

and wants healthier lifestyles to be promoted when women are pregnant.

Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes reports.

Julie has lost five stone, despite having two children in the past five

years. She knew slimming down from her previous size 18 would boost

chances of getting pregnant. Her healthier lifestyle now benefits the

whole family. I am more confident, when taking my

daughter to school, in the playground, I can chat to other

parents. Happy to get involved. I have energy I need to run around two

active children. This report focuses on the health of

51% of the population of women, whom Dame Sally Davies believes have been

ignored by the medical establishment, and looking at

obesity and the effect it has on long-term health prospects.

England's top doctor wants women to think about their weight. In the

report, she is highlighting how two thirds of middle-aged women are

overweight or obese. Dame Sally Davies says pregnancy is a missed

opportunity to get on top of their health and calling on obesity to be

declared a national risk. We should stop two for ones in

supermarkets and putting unhealthy foods in difficult to reach places.

If industry don't deliver on that, like the rest of my profession, I

believe we will need a sugar tax. And in staffed, many agreed with

this analysis. I do think there is a problem with

obesity. With you it is up to people to sort their bodies out. The family

is not the same. Nobody stays at home to spend time to cook. But it

is a problem, I think. The NHS will have a lot to deal with in the

future. People are obese because of

lifestyle but they should still have support.

Dame Sally Davies wants to end the taboo around difficult subjects such

as the men pause or post baby incontinence so women get the help

that they need. With more bad weather forecast

for the next couple of days, people in Cumbria and Lancashire

are fearing the worst. The north-west of England and parts

of Scotland were battered when Storm Desmond hit last weekend

- thousands of homes and businesses Our correspondent Ed Thomas

is in the Cumbrian Yes, this is just one street that

was overwhelmed by the floods. Today it feels like a building site.

Remember, there was lifeboats going up and down this road. Now there is

so much that needs to be done. The X marks the spot, the place where

homes have been ruined. This gives an idea of the power of the floods.

This car was lifted up and completely ruined. This is now a

town divided. You cannot get from one end of Cockermouth to the other

as the bridges are not safe. It is divided. To show this we filmed our

journey from here to the other side. It took about 20 minutes. It is

about six miles as a round trip. This is the story of that journey

and the people we met along the way. Where do you begin? But Philippa has

to start somewhere. She has lost so much but so has everyone on this

road, Goat's Road. This is what is left of Sue Cashmore's home, not for

the first time she is clearing up. Is it worse than 2009? Probably

about six inches less but destructivewise it is more. So the

mud, the shud and the Deals, a lot of diesel this time so, yes, I think

so, yes. More destructive. Twice in six years? No, four times,

2005, 2008, 2009, and 2015. Yes. But the last one and this one and the

one before... What can you do? Bulldozer, don't answer.

These are people's homes, Celia has just arrived in Cockermouth.

How long have you been here? Six days.

Just moved in? Yes, six days before it flooded.

Everyone here has lost something. But right now these people need

power. Engineers are working every day to

restore the supplies. But there has been so much damage

here. Further down the road, turn right

and walk into the cricket club. This is the place where the rivers

Cocker and Derwent came crashing in. It was the force of the water. It

has just ripped up all of this tarmac, road.

The floods did not just hit road and homes here, I walk to the bridge

that Connexionsects the north and the south but it is no longer safe

to crows. It is not just the bridge but the footpaths are all closed.

From one side of the town you cannot get to the other it is a town

divided. So what should be a few minute's walk into the centre of

Cockermouth is now a three-mile dry. On the other side of the river, a

High Street rebuilding. Inside Tony's butcher's, the business is

still going on. We just have to. We have customers

to look after. Customers still have to eat. We have to do our best to

get the street back to what it should be.

To carry on? Yeah. Yeah. That's what everyone wants to do on

the High Street, carry on. But nobody is forgetting what has

happened here. We are thinking all the time about

the people on the other side of the river really struggling. They have

had it worse. We bounced back but it is them over there that really need

the help from the powers that been be.

This is the place to do that? Of course it is, we are a strong

community. They are determined to keep going,

that is the message from this town. Just one more house being cleared

out here in Cockermouth. And more rain is expected on Saturday night.

Another moment where people here, communities will just stop and wait.

They will be hoping that the flood defences right across Cumbria and

northern England and Scotland will hold.

Talks are continuing in Paris to try to finalise a deal

According to the latest draft, a number of difficult issues have

been partially resolved, but further compromise is needed.

Delegates have been given an extension, and now have

Our correspondent Daniel Boettcher reports.

Negotiators spent a night trying to find common ground on the issues

that divide them. They had been given a new draft of the text they

are working with to reach a deal. The French Foreign Minister told

them that they were close to the finishing line and urged compromise.

He was hoping to present a final draft today but this morning said

that had been delayed until tomorrow.

TRANSLATION: The things are looking good. They are positive. Everything

is going in the right direction. However, there is still some work to

be done. There are signs of progress. One of

the key sticking points has been how ambitious the target for limiting a

rise in global temperatures should be. Many countries argue that two

degrees above preindustrial levels is not good enough. The draft text

says that the goals should be below two degrees but the target could be

resisted by some at the table. And even with the promises made, even a

two degree goal may not be met so, the pledge must be reviewed and

tightened on a regular basis. It must be a five-year cycle to

ensure that everybody is continuing to update.

And kerbing emissions said to be divided up between developed

industrialised nations and emerging countries whose carbon emissions are

rising as the economies grow. Are Ban Ki-Moon said he was confident

that an ambitious and strong accord could be reached.

This negotiation is most complicated, most difficult. But

most important, for humanity. We have just very limited hours

remaining. And it will have to be a deal that

almost 200 countries can agree on. The Chief Inspector of Schools

in England is setting up a taskforce to tackle unregistered schools

operating outside the law. On recent visits to three

unregistered sites in Birmingham, inspectors found squalid conditions

and books they described as mysogynistic, homophobic

and anti-semitic. Our Education Editor Branwen

Jeffreys is with me. What is Sir Michael Wilshaw talking

about? Any school that offers more than 20 hers of education a week to

children must legally register the school so that Ofsted can visit and

inspect. But if offering less you can offer support as registered as

home educated. That is the concern. They visited three places in

Birmingham, following a longer investigation following other

places. They have found conditions which concern them. Filthy

conditions in some places, we are talking about rat droppings, open

drains in one place but also inspectors say that they came across

material that was deeply concerning. That had misogynistic, homophobic

and anti-Semitic references in the text used to instruct children. So

Sir Michael Wilshaw is signalling clearly he wants to gather the

evidence that could form the basis of a prosecution to bring a case

against an unregulated school to make it clear it must be closed

down. The Government is looking at the area. It will be tightening

regulation next year. Thank you very much.

The chief executive of Southern Health has apologised for the system

failing. Michael Buchanan reports.

Entrepreneury morning and the head of Southern Health, the Trust at the

centre of care failings finally talks.

Obviously it is tragic whenever anybody loses a loved one, I am

sorry to them. Of course, we do investigate and talk to families,

and we really have looked to improve the processes.

Southern Health did not investigate the unexpected deaths of nearly 1200

people, according to an official report. A failure of leadership was

blamed for the problems but Katrina Percy says she is not resigning, at

least for now. My job is to lead a large

organisation and ensure we have the right environment for our doctors

and nurses who work really hard every day with our patients. That's

my job. I'm continuing to do that at the moment. She went on to criticise

the report's authors, saying they had not properly understood the data

and that there were not anymore deaths in Southern Health than in

other mental health Trusts. We showed our xhentsdz to Julie, her

son Mark killed himself while under the care of Southern Health. The

Trust acknowledged that they could have provided more support.

Well, after watching Katrina Percy's interview, I think it is despicable.

My son, Mark owe Shaugnessy took his life. He asked for help the night

before he took his life, they ignored him. Katrina Percy needs to

be brought to justice. Katrina Percy's defiant attitude

today, refusing to resign, attacking the authors of the report, may have

to change in the coming days. NHS England are meeting to decide when

the report will finally be published. Given Jeremy Hunt's

remarks yesterday, when the full details are revealed, it is hard to

England's most senior doctor warns that obesity in women is now

The controversial presidential contender Donald Trump again defends

his comments. A 15-year-old boy on a hover board

has died in an accident with a bus And how scientists at

Imperial College are hoping to genetically engineer mosquitos

to eradicate malaria. It was the largest peacetime

explosion in Europe. The blast at the Buncefield oil

depot in Hertfordshire caused a fire No one was killed or seriously

injured, but the damage was severe. The explosion was caused

by a fuel tanker overflowing, and was equivalent

to 30 tonnes of TNT. The blast was heard

as far away as Holland. 10 years on, our correspondent

Tim Muffett has been to see how I do not know if it is

a house or a building. The largest ever fire

in peacetime Europe. An explosion that measured 2.4

on the Richter scale, heard across southern

England and reportedly At first we were thinking it might

have been an aircraft that had come Brendan, Thomas and Ian

were among the first I was literally dodging

chunks of metal It was a really

volatile environment. As we were pulling in,

tanker lorries were Behind me was where the additional

explosion took place. We know that because

of a faulty fuel gauge thousands of gallons of petrol

had been overflowing from a storage A huge flammable gas

cloud had formed and 43 people were injured,

two seriously. 2000 residents, including Suzanne,

were evacuated from their homes. The floor was not

joined to the wall. Because no one died, thankfully,

is there a view that some people do not quite realise

the impact it had? After the first couple of weeks

it was never on the news again and nobody thought

much more about it. Yes, it went on for

about three years. The timing of the explosion,

6am on a Sunday morning, Had it been a Monday

morning at a similar time, you would have had office

workers coming in, There are thousands of people,

literally thousands of people, who would have been making

their way into this site. Five companies were in total fined

around ?10 million for breaches Ten years on its impact

is still being felt. The UK's recent growth,

employment progress and deficit reduction have been "strong",

according to the head Christine Lagarde said steady growth

looks likely to continue. Well with me is our business

editor Kamal Ahmed. That sounds positive. It has a

pretty good message for George Osborne. She said the UK economy was

resilient, growth was resilient. It would slow slightly next year but

nothing risky. Real incomes are rising which is good for everybody

and productivity is improving and it is likely interest rates will stay

law for the foreseeable future. No real risk for borrowers, not such

good news for savers. Some risks, the housing market, some risks about

the EU referendum as well, which Britain is going to have before the

end of 2017, some uncertainty. I asked her about the big story of the

last 24 hours, whether the government should be giving the

go-ahead to a new runway at Gatwick or Heathrow. She said infrastructure

spending was very important. I think our report this year

identifies very clearly the transportation

bottlenecks in the UK and infrastructure projects that

will eventually remove those bottlenecks would certainly be

conducive to more mobility, It sounds like you think

the British government should get on with expanding

aviation capacity at I wish I was an engineer to actually

decide which project is best for the country, but in general

we support infrastructure projects, Certainly some positive words on the

economy, but a little barbed comment on the lack of progress on expanding

aviation capacity in the south eased of England. Interesting. We will top

more about the politics of that because the government has been

criticised. The government has been criticised

for delaying a decision about airport expansion

in the south-east of England Ministers say they want a further

review of the environmental impact of the rival schemes

at Heathrow and Gatwick. But business groups have

reacted angrily, warning that the uncertainty could cost

the UK billions of pounds. Let's speak to our political

correspondent Iain Watson. This is all about politics. Yes. It

is very rare for a political decision to get so much derision

from the very people the government would like to see as supporters.

Some of the most robust reaction has come from business, the British

Chambers of Commerce said it is gutless. The Institute of Directors

say they are tearing their hair out. Others say they are deeply

disappointed. Boris Johnson says it is a fudgerama. The Conservative

candidate is completely opposed to Heathrow, the person who is going

for the mayor next year. Downing Street said needs to be more time

for the environmental impact by business say want certainty and the

only thing certain is more uncertainty, at least for six

months, possibly longer. The Crown Prosecution Service

says its investigation into phone Corporate charges

against News UK, formerly News International,

are not being pursued. The CPS is also taking no further

action against ten people from the Mirror Group,

including the former editor Hillary Clinton has described

the Republican presidential Mrs Clinton says she no longer finds

the billionaire funny, after he claimed Muslims should be

banned from entering the US. Last night Mr Trump again

defended his comments. Our Washington correspondent

Gary O'Donoghue reports. Trump is streaks ahead

of his opponents And here in Portsmouth,

some turned out to tell him I believe that he says stuff

that is dangerous, you bet. Well, I think what he does

is provide fuel to the crazy people Mr Trump's uncompromising views

resonate strongly with many We have gone way too politically

correct in this country. We need a fresh new face,

fresh new speak, and get us back down to ground zero,

back to reality, protect this country and do what it takes

to make us great again. Donald Trump was here to get

the backing for his presidential bid He promised them the death penalty

for all those who killed police officers and that tougher stance

on Muslims coming into America. The Visa system is not working. This

woman came in on a marriage Visa and she was totally radicalised and she

came in and all of a sudden we are saying it is not working, the Visa

system. We just cannot afford any more to be

so politically correct. Another night, another

endorsement for Donald Trump. The momentum keeps building

and as the grassroots like him more the party establishment

seem to like him less. Morrisons has cut the cost

of unleaded petrol to less It's the lowest price

in the UK since 2009, The supermarket is also cutting

diesel by a penny a litre, and other chains are

expected to follow suit - as our business correspondent

Emma Simpson reports. This might have

something to do with it. It's six years since we've seen

unleaded petrol at this everyday What do you think

of the price today? Now I'm worried that the Chancellor

will think it's a good idea to put I think in fact the price should be

even lower than 99.9. I don't think that petrol courts

have been passing the full benefits. The best thing that ever happened

for the motorist. It's just a whisker below the ?1

a litre mark, but A reflection of the plunging price

of oil which has fallen below $40 Over at Asda, it's a fraction

cheaper, only for the next The average price of unleaded petrol

is still well above ?1 a litre, but supermarkets often

undercut their rivals. The supermarkets have the advantage

that people are often doing a very big family shop at the same time,

so they are seeing it as an incentive to get

people into the stores. But they are also working

on very tight margins. Cut-price fuel is one way to strike

back against the discounters, upping the ante in the battle

for our Christmas cash. It may not be long before

others follow suit. In a few days time, Major Tim Peake

will become the first British astronaut in 20 years

to blast into space. These final few days are filled with

good luck rituals and traditions. Our Moscow correspondent

Sarah Rainsford reports This is Yuri Gagarin,

the first-ever man in space. Because his flight in 1961

was so successful crews ever since have copied many of the things

he did in the hope it will bring Before the crew go up

in a real one of these, a space capsule, there

is a whole series of rituals they have to go

through and Tim Peake The first of them has

already been done. Yuri Gagarin did it first

and there is now a whole alley of trees as a living

memory to all of those There is another way

that the astronauts leave their mark, as Tim Peake himself

told me before he came On our final morning,

once we have prepared first base, we will be in our

flight costumes and We were each allocated a door

in the Cosmodrome cosmonaut hotel so we will each assign a door

to the cosmonaut hotel We have not long to

go until launch day. The astornauts are in quarantine

to make sure they stay healthy for the flight but

the traditions go on. On their last nervous night

here on earth before liftoff they will sit down to

a classic of Soviet cinema. Launch day itself and with

the spacesuits on they emerge Before they climb into the space

craft, it is time for one Yuri Gagarin requested a pee stop

on the way to his first flight so from that moment

onwards all the astronauts stop, we get off the bus,

we undo our suits, When Yuri Gagarin was preparing

for launch, he asked for music to be pumped into his headphones

to calm his nerves ahead He got Russian love

songs played to him. Tim Peake has been able

to choose his own music and he has selected three tracks to be played

as he prepares to make British space # I want to make a supersonic

man out of you.# You can watch the blast of live on

the BBC News Channel next Tuesday morning.

Look at this picture behind me, many winter wonderland scenes across

northern parts of the country. There is a big contrast across the

country. Lots of photographs of snow. I ground in Perthshire has

been seeing snow. This morning we had a cluster moving through. There

was all be some wintry showers around. Some sunny spells in

between. They will become isolated. A strong wind and it is going to

feel cold through this afternoon. A good slice of bright weather through

Wales and the Midlands. Rather cloudy south of the M4. Most of the

showers die away across the north. Across the south skies will clear so

if you're interested in catching the media shower the first part of the

night looks like the best. Cold and clear. This weather front

introducing milder air but cloud and rain. Temperatures by the end of

that in the Plymouth 11 Celsius. Further north it will be cold with

potentially some ice. The temperature will be stark on

Saturday. Central and southern areas will be mild. Across the north the

opposite, cold crisp sunshine with light winds. It is the central slice

where we are going to see all of the weather action on Saturday. That

weather front will continue to advance northwards bringing rain,

low cloud, snow to the Pennines and northern England, just short of

Cumbria. Stay tuned to the forecast. A very wet pitch through the central

slice of the UK. Called, crisp for Scotland and Northern Ireland. To

the south it will be mild for Saturday night. To the north, really

cold with widespread frost and we could see some eyes, particularly

were mag it has been wet. Sunday it looks as if much of England and

Wales will be cloudy. The best of the brighter colder weather will be

across the north particularly for Scotland. Light a mixed bag for the

weekend. Watch for the rain on Saturday.
