:06:30. > :06:34.apparent change of heart about a two-state solution, how is that
:06:35. > :06:37.going down there? I think it will be greeted with great joy amongst some
:06:38. > :06:41.in Israel, great consternation amongst many in Israel and in
:06:42. > :06:46.Palestine and in the wider Arab world. The two-state solution, the
:06:47. > :06:49.idea that there would be a Palestinian state next to the state
:06:50. > :06:52.of Israel at the end of negotiations, has been the bedrock
:06:53. > :06:56.of negotiations for the last couple of decades, and the idea that it
:06:57. > :07:00.could be swept away will cause deep concern amongst centrist Israelis,
:07:01. > :07:04.Palestinians, the wider Arab world and the international community. The
:07:05. > :07:10.nationalist and religious right here in Israel will be delighted, because
:07:11. > :07:13.the West Bank, where that eventual Palestinian state would be, they see
:07:14. > :07:16.as part of greater Israel. The big question is, if it is not a
:07:17. > :07:19.two-state solution at the end of negotiations, what is it to be? It
:07:20. > :07:24.is worth acknowledging, the two-state solution has been the end
:07:25. > :07:27.point of a priest process which has gone pretty much nowhere over the
:07:28. > :07:31.last two decades, it might be that the Trump ministration has a grand
:07:32. > :07:36.idea to try to shake things up. But if you're not going to have a
:07:37. > :07:39.two-state solution at the end, what will it be? And if that is not the

:11:35. > :11:39.been growing by hundreds of thousands per year. But to the right
:11:40. > :11:43.of this chart, you can see how it has stopped growing as quickly. In
:11:44. > :11:48.the last few months of 2016, the number dropped slightly. Workers

:13:31. > :13:34.moment as she leaves. It is this visit which I think is a sign of the
:13:35. > :13:37.confidence with which the Conservatives are approaching this
:13:38. > :13:41.by-election. This seat has been held by Labour since as long as anyone
:13:42. > :13:47.can remember, since the 1930s, in fact. It is not since the 1980s that
:13:48. > :13:52.a sitting government has managed to gain a seat from a opposition party.
:13:53. > :13:56.So this is a significant electoral test for Jeremy Corbyn's leadership
:13:57. > :14:00.of Labour. It will tell us much about the appeal of those two
:14:01. > :14:06.parties. This is a traditionally Labour supporting part of the world,
:14:07. > :14:09.in which many jobs are traditionally dependent on the nuclear industry at
:14:10. > :14:14.Sellafield and on the planned plant at Moorside, over which there is now
:14:15. > :14:19.some uncertainty. The Conservatives have tried to attack Jeremy Corbyn
:14:20. > :14:21.on that front, saying that historically he has opposed the
:14:22. > :14:25.nuclear and therefore cannot be trusted. The local candidate is
:14:26. > :14:30.saying that she supports that industry. As for Labour, they say
:14:31. > :14:33.the NHS is the real history here, and they point to Conservative
:14:34. > :14:38.policies which they say have put a local hospital services in doubt.
:14:39. > :14:42.So, this will be a real test I think for both parties, and it is turning

:20:53. > :20:57.Today is the big event of this weeks General Synod, a debate on the
:20:58. > :21:01.Bishops' report on same-sex marriage. We know that members have
:21:02. > :21:02.already been exercising their voices in preparation for what is likely to

:21:17. > :21:19.as General Synod prepares to debate the Bishop's report
:21:20. > :21:23.on same-sex marriage. A report that says marriage
:21:24. > :21:25.in church should remain the lifelong union
:21:26. > :21:29.between a man and a woman. After engaging in three years
:21:30. > :21:35.of shared conversations, many lesbian and gay Christians
:21:36. > :21:38.are angered that church doctrine is not falling into line
:21:39. > :21:40.with the law of the land which legalised same-sex
:21:41. > :21:44.marriage in 2014. We're talking here about the
:21:45. > :21:48.national church being massively out of step with people,
:21:49. > :21:51.and this isn't just about saying that we have to follow what society
:21:52. > :21:54.is doing and what society is saying. This is about saying, actually,
:21:55. > :21:56.where people perceive love in relationships between one
:21:57. > :21:59.another, can the Church of England simply not recognise that God
:22:00. > :22:06.is present in those things? Bishops preparing for this

:22:09. > :22:10.doctrine on the subject I'd be misleading you if I did not
:22:11. > :22:17.confess to being conflicted But in that I think I'm far
:22:18. > :22:23.from alone among the Bishops And our own history in dealing
:22:24. > :22:29.with these matters also explains why people on all sides of the debate
:22:30. > :22:35.rarely find themselves satisfied. Today's debate will conclude
:22:36. > :22:40.at seven this evening with a vote. Members of Synod will be

:22:43. > :22:48.then questions about the unity of the Church of England and indeed
:22:49. > :23:05.the global Anglican Communion And in that regard we've just seen a
:23:06. > :23:10.tweet by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, I'll quote

:24:16. > :24:20.engulfed by water after the 230 metre high spillways of the dam
:24:21. > :24:27.were found to be damaged. A major new study suggests
:24:28. > :24:29.there is a link between head injuries and long-term brain damage
:24:30. > :24:32.in former footballers. In the first study of its kind,
:24:33. > :24:36.researchers studied the brains of six deceased players known
:24:37. > :24:39.for their skill at heading the ball. They all developed
:24:40. > :24:41.dementia in later life. The Football Association has
:24:42. > :24:43.welcomed the research - as our health correspondent
:24:44. > :24:55.Smitha Mundasad reports. It's an integral part of the game,
:24:56. > :25:02.but could doing this over and over again lead to long-term brain
:25:03. > :25:04.damage? That's a question the family of former England player Jeff asked
:25:05. > :25:11.has been campaigning to have answered. He died in 2002. He'd
:25:12. > :25:16.suffered from degenerative brain disease linked to repeatedly heading
:25:17. > :25:20.old, heavy footballs. If we can highlight it and push and push and
:25:21. > :25:24.push to get it recognise, not just the dad. It started about dad but
:25:25. > :25:29.it's about all these other families now, all these families are relying
:25:30. > :25:34.on us. We'll never stop, we'll never stop fighting for them. Now, in the
:25:35. > :25:40.first study of its kind, scientists looked at the brains of six lifelong
:25:41. > :25:44.footballers who developed dementia. When we examined their brains at
:25:45. > :25:51.autopsy we saw the thought of changes that are seen in text boxes,
:25:52. > :25:56.which are known as CDE, chronic traumatic and Kraftwerk. In the
:25:57. > :26:01.first time a series of players have shown there is evidence that head
:26:02. > :26:06.injury has occurred earlier in their life which presumably has some
:26:07. > :26:10.impact on dementia. The football Association says one question that
:26:11. > :26:14.needs to be answered is whether degenerative brain diseases are more
:26:15. > :26:19.common in professional football is, and the FA says that's research it's
:26:20. > :26:23.determined to support. At some ex-footballers say action from the
:26:24. > :26:27.FA could not come soon enough. With three of the surviving members of
:26:28. > :26:32.England's 1966 World Cup winning team suffering from dementia, some
:26:33. > :26:37.say this work is now more urgent than ever. So what does this mean
:26:38. > :26:42.for people who like to kick a ball around a few times a week? We
:26:43. > :26:47.shouldn't forget that exercise and football is included in that,
:26:48. > :26:50.actually has a lot of benefits, it reduces your risk of cardiovascular
:26:51. > :26:55.disease, obesity, diabetes and indeed the mention in later life. So
:26:56. > :27:00.that needs to be balanced against any risk that can come from doing
:27:01. > :27:05.that exercise. And the researchers are clear, the study did not analyse
:27:06. > :27:08.the risks to children. But with US soccer already recommending that
:27:09. > :27:13.children under 11 should not head footballers, and rugby already
:27:14. > :27:16.taking action on brain health, the question is whether it is now
:27:17. > :27:18.football's turn to do more about the long-term consequences of playing

:30:42. > :30:45.changes just today. This morning in Newquay in Cornwall after a great
:30:46. > :30:50.start, got the sunshine out. But those on the map and in between
:30:51. > :30:54.there is a large area of clouds. Producing outbreaks of rain moving

:31:03. > :31:06.showers. Some lovely blue skies through the Channel Islands. Not
:31:07. > :31:11.quite so lucky in the Midlands and South East England, grey skies, rain
:31:12. > :31:13.from time to time. Heavy bursts possible. Wet weather extending
:31:14. > :31:19.north through England. A warm feeling day-to-day. Temperatures in
:31:20. > :31:23.double figures widely. After some sunshine, sharp showers in Northern
:31:24. > :31:27.Ireland. Best of the sunshine still across northern Scotland. More cloud
:31:28. > :31:30.further south, maybe some rain. Most ranges on that weather front which
:31:31. > :31:36.will push away into the North Sea this evening. An area of low
:31:37. > :31:39.pressure close to Scotland. He and perhaps Northern Ireland having rain
:31:40. > :31:45.overnight. Further south things much, and karma. Across southern
:31:46. > :31:48.counties of England there could be fog forming by morning. Slow start
:31:49. > :31:53.here. It should brighten up nicely tomorrow. Sunshine across England
:31:54. > :31:57.and Wales. One or two showers. Cloud and stronger when further north,
:31:58. > :32:01.outbreaks of rain especially early on in Scotland and later across
:32:02. > :32:05.Northern Ireland. He sent temperatures once again. Looking at
:32:06. > :32:11.those temperatures in double figures and present in sunshine. More fog
:32:12. > :32:14.early on Friday for southern and eastern parts of the UK. But it
:32:15. > :32:19.should brighten up and we should see some sunshine. Out to the West more
:32:20. > :32:25.clouds and the chance of some rain and temperatures ten or 11 degrees.
:32:26. > :32:29.At this time of year the average maximum temperatures, about eight
:32:30. > :32:32.Celsius. So quite mild and staying that way over the weekend. Perhaps
:32:33. > :32:37.on Monday we could see temperatures into the mid-teens if we get some
:32:38. > :32:41.sunshine. This weekend staying mild. Don't expect a lot of sunshine but
:32:42. > :32:45.lots of clouds and it will produce some rain at times in the north. No
:32:46. > :32:48.great amounts. The greater risk of rain in the North probably on
:32:49. > :32:53.Saturday and then much later on Sunday, some places may well stay
:32:54. > :32:57.dry. Likely to be dry further south, but sunshine in short supply. Still
