:01:20. > :01:52.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News At One.

:01:53. > :01:55.At least 58 people have been killed in a suspected chemical attack

:01:56. > :01:57.in the rebel-held province of Idlib in northern Syria.

:01:58. > :01:59.Emergency services who arrived in the area shortly after a series

:02:00. > :02:03.of strikes said they found people choking in the street.

:02:04. > :02:07.The Syrian government has repeatedly denied using chemical weapons.

:02:08. > :02:11.The dead are mostly civilians, and include at least 11 children.

:02:12. > :02:14.In the last hour, France has called for an emergency meeting

:02:15. > :02:16.of the UN Security Council to discuss the attack.

:02:17. > :02:27.Our correspondent Ben James reports from Beirut.

:02:28. > :02:35.This is some of the footage opposition activists posted online

:02:36. > :02:41.after the attack on the town Bauer a town here. It was said that the

:02:42. > :02:45.symptoms, the difficulty breathing and foaming at the mouth were

:02:46. > :02:48.consistent with a gas attack. Witnesses talked about people

:02:49. > :02:54.choking and fainting after the early morning air strike. Other pictures

:02:55. > :02:58.too graphic to broadcast showed what appeared to be the seminaked bodies

:02:59. > :03:03.of the dead, many of them children. Some reports describe people taking

:03:04. > :03:08.Victors' clothes off and hosing them with water to try to help them.

:03:09. > :03:12.TRANSLATION: The symptoms that we witnessed are different than

:03:13. > :03:20.symptoms of chlorine gas. All the victims who arrived had a new role

:03:21. > :03:27.stress. Very soon, blood started coming out of their mouths, which

:03:28. > :03:33.means that their lungs are damaged. This area in the north-west of Syria

:03:34. > :03:36.has been under heavy bombardment by pro-government forces. That is

:03:37. > :03:42.controlled by a range of opposition groups jihadists linked to Al-Qaeda

:03:43. > :03:46.and Free Syrian Army fighters. There has been no official response from

:03:47. > :03:50.the Syrian government to the claim of a gas attack. They've repeatedly

:03:51. > :03:54.denied using such weapons in the past. A political opposition group

:03:55. > :04:00.has called for a UN investigation into today's attack.

:04:01. > :04:03.Ben is in Beirut with the latest. As you say, there is always a denial

:04:04. > :04:10.that chemical weapons are used. What is the latest you are hearing? Also

:04:11. > :04:13.just in the last 20 minutes or so, a denial from the Russian defence

:04:14. > :04:18.ministry that their planes were involved in an air strike in this

:04:19. > :04:22.area. We've been seeing footage posted online of what appears to be

:04:23. > :04:27.a rocket attack on hospital where some of the victims of this strike

:04:28. > :04:31.were being treated. It is worth reminding everybody of the

:04:32. > :04:36.background chemical attacks in the conflict in Syria. Just last year, a

:04:37. > :04:40.report by the UN and the Organisation for the Prohibition of

:04:41. > :04:44.Chemical found evidence that three times the government had used

:04:45. > :04:48.chlorine gas in attacks in 2014 and 2015 and it found that the so-called

:04:49. > :04:52.Islamic State had used mustard gas in an attack as well. Back in August

:04:53. > :04:58.2013, you will remember this issue was a big one, it was around the

:04:59. > :05:02.time that the UK Parliament rejected the possibility of military action

:05:03. > :05:06.in response to a chemical attack in an area close to Damascus. The

:05:07. > :05:10.United States and President Obama had described that as a red line

:05:11. > :05:13.that would provoke a military response. That didn't happen in the

:05:14. > :05:18.end because the deal brokered between the USA and Russia to

:05:19. > :05:22.decommission a declared stockpile of Syrian chemical weapons, that

:05:23. > :05:26.process was declared completed just over a year ago at the beginning of

:05:27. > :05:32.2016. Some more of the responses coming in and reaction from the

:05:33. > :05:36.international community. You mentioned the call by France for an

:05:37. > :05:39.emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. In the last few minutes,

:05:40. > :05:43.the UN's foreign affairs chief has said that President Assad declares

:05:44. > :05:49.responsibility for what she calls this awful attack.

:05:50. > :05:53.14 people are now known to have died in the explosion on a St Petersburg

:05:54. > :05:56.The prime suspect, who's believed to be among the dead,

:05:57. > :05:59.has been named as Akbarzhon Jalilov, who had Russian citizenship

:06:00. > :06:09.49 people were injured in the explosion -

:06:10. > :06:17.Let's go to our correspondent Sarah Rainsford in Saint Petersburg.

:06:18. > :06:22.This is a city that is now trying to get back to normal after this

:06:23. > :06:26.horrific attack. I think you can see behind me that the Metro station

:06:27. > :06:29.here is now open again and is working but I've spoken to some

:06:30. > :06:33.fairly nervous passengers, one woman who said she just didn't want to go

:06:34. > :06:37.down on the Metro again after what happened. 14 people are now

:06:38. > :06:40.confirmed to have lost their lives in this attack. Three people died

:06:41. > :06:45.this morning after the initial 11 were killed in the explosion.

:06:46. > :06:48.Russian investigators are now saying they have evidence that this could

:06:49. > :06:56.have been carried out by a suicide bomber. They have been bringing

:06:57. > :07:00.flowers here all morning, creating a shrine in the very heart of St

:07:01. > :07:06.Petersburg. A whole city suffering after a bomb tore through a train

:07:07. > :07:11.deep underground here. Anyone of us could have been in that carriage,

:07:12. > :07:17.this woman says. She believes 6 million people in St Petersburg are

:07:18. > :07:22.in danger. These were the panic to seems right after the blast.

:07:23. > :07:27.Passengers in the mangled wreck of a train struggling to reach safety.

:07:28. > :07:31.Those on the platform hunting for survivors, desperate to help however

:07:32. > :07:36.they could. The train was between stations when the bomb went off.

:07:37. > :07:41.Down the line, a man filming on his phone heard the explosion. Then came

:07:42. > :07:46.the smoke and a terrible smell. And from someone passing on the other

:07:47. > :07:52.platform, a glimpse of the carnage. The train driver kept going to make

:07:53. > :07:57.sure rescuers could research the injured. Today, calmly, he told his

:07:58. > :08:00.story. TRANSLATION: There was a bang and spoke. Icon doubted the

:08:01. > :08:05.dispatcher and reported the situation. At that moment, in

:08:06. > :08:07.compensable messages began to come in on the passenger driver named

:08:08. > :08:13.because everyone was speaking in all the carriages. President Putin was

:08:14. > :08:20.in St Petersburg when the attack happened. Last night he visited the

:08:21. > :08:24.scene himself. This is a blow against his hometown. Earlier, in

:08:25. > :08:30.muted tones, he had called this a tragedy as an official investigation

:08:31. > :08:35.into a terrorist attack was opened. It is now 18 months since Russia's

:08:36. > :08:39.president ordered air strikes in Syria. With thousands of Russian

:08:40. > :08:45.citizens fighting alongside IS, this campaign was sold as a way to stop

:08:46. > :08:49.them bringing that war back home. As the investigation into the Metro

:08:50. > :08:53.attack continues, Russian officials now say there is evidence this could

:08:54. > :08:57.have been the work of a suicide bomber. The security service in

:08:58. > :09:02.Kyrgyzstan, central Asia, say a man born there, who has a Russian

:09:03. > :09:06.passport, is now a key suspect. The Metro station here has been closed

:09:07. > :09:11.again after another bomb scare. It is the latest of several since the

:09:12. > :09:16.explosion here yesterday. This is clearly a city that is very much an

:09:17. > :09:22.edge because nothing like this has ever happened here. So, as people

:09:23. > :09:28.here mourn their dead, they wait, too, for answers as to how and why

:09:29. > :09:30.this happened and how safe they are in their city.

:09:31. > :09:34.The man in charge of the investigation here has said forensic

:09:35. > :09:37.teams are going through evidence at the blast site, checking security

:09:38. > :09:42.cameras and questioning witnesses as they tried to establish who exactly

:09:43. > :09:46.was behind this attack. There is, as you have heard, one key suspect at

:09:47. > :09:49.the moment but, for the moment, the Russian side in particular are being

:09:50. > :09:54.very cautious about releasing too many details and so that makes it

:09:55. > :09:59.extremely nervous times here in St Petersburg and in Russia as a whole

:10:00. > :10:03.after this latest horrific attack. Thank you, Sarah Rainsford.

:10:04. > :10:06.The Prime Minister has insisted it is in both the UK and the EU's

:10:07. > :10:17.Theresa May, who has just arrived in Saudi Arabia, was responding to a

:10:18. > :10:18.report from MPs that challenged the Government's claim that no deal is

:10:19. > :10:21.better than a bad deal. The Parliamentary Committee

:10:22. > :10:24.for Exiting the EU says Parliament should be consulted before ministers

:10:25. > :10:26.walk away without a deal. But six pro-Brexit MPs

:10:27. > :10:28.on the Committee voted against the report,

:10:29. > :10:30.saying it was too gloomy. Our political correspondent

:10:31. > :10:40.Ellie Price reports. The charm offensive is on. Theresa

:10:41. > :10:44.May is in the Middle East on a mission to foster new partners and

:10:45. > :10:49.new trade partnerships in a post-Brexit world. Here in Jordan,

:10:50. > :10:53.next stop Saudi Arabia. I want to see a truly global Britain that is

:10:54. > :10:57.really outward looking. A good trade deal with the EU but yes, good trade

:10:58. > :11:01.deals around the world. But our relationships around the world are

:11:02. > :11:04.not just about trade, they are about ensuring we can maintain our

:11:05. > :11:14.security and support the security of areas like the Gulf region. But as

:11:15. > :11:17.Britain looks to make new deals further afield, closer to home

:11:18. > :11:21.questions over what would happen if the UK and EU failed to reach a

:11:22. > :11:24.trade agreement Edem backbench MPs have released a report warning of

:11:25. > :11:28.the risks and called on the government to work out how much no

:11:29. > :11:32.deal would cost. Without the Government setting out what

:11:33. > :11:37.mitigating steps it would put in place, the assertion that no deal is

:11:38. > :11:40.better than a bad deal is, in the words of the report,

:11:41. > :11:43.unsubstantiated. Select committees are meant to hold the government to

:11:44. > :11:47.account it up they are made up of MPs from across the political

:11:48. > :11:52.spectrum. In the case of the Brexit committee, they are also made up of

:11:53. > :11:55.pro-leave and pro-remain MPs. This report didn't have the full support

:11:56. > :11:59.of all its members, some of whom said it was too pessimistic about

:12:00. > :12:05.Brexit. And critics say a committee report without the full backing of

:12:06. > :12:09.its members lacks full credibility. It was far too obsessively focused

:12:10. > :12:14.on one side, which is the risks, the downsides of leaving the EU, with

:12:15. > :12:17.scant real attention to the upside and the opportunities. And actually,

:12:18. > :12:23.what we should be doing, I believe, is both. The Prime Minister insisted

:12:24. > :12:26.that every scenario in the Brexit negotiations was being considered

:12:27. > :12:30.but that a good deal for the UK would benefit the EU as well. In the

:12:31. > :12:34.meantime she is looking beyond Europe. This morning she shrugged

:12:35. > :12:38.off criticism is about human rights concerns and insisted engagement

:12:39. > :12:40.with the likes of Saudi Arabia was in the national interest. Ellie

:12:41. > :12:42.Price, BBC News, Westminster. Detectives investigating the attack

:12:43. > :12:45.on a young asylum seeker in south London on Friday have charged

:12:46. > :12:47.a further six people in connection with the assault,

:12:48. > :12:49.including a 15-year-old boy. Our home affairs correspondent

:12:50. > :13:01.Tom Symonds is outside What has been happening today?

:13:02. > :13:06.Just to remind you, this relates to an incident on Friday night when

:13:07. > :13:09.three young asylum seekers were heading to a bus stop in a suburb of

:13:10. > :13:14.Croydon. They came into contact with a large group of people at a pub

:13:15. > :13:19.nearby, between 20 and 30, and there was a confrontation and the result

:13:20. > :13:24.of that was that a 17-year-old asylum seeker was kicked and beaten

:13:25. > :13:29.and given quite serious head and spinal injuries. As you say, 16

:13:30. > :13:34.people arrested. We now have eight further charges today here at

:13:35. > :13:37.Croydon magistrates court and those charged are being processed by the

:13:38. > :13:40.court, bail terms considered and discussed. They have all been

:13:41. > :13:45.charged with violent disorder and that involves the threat of violence

:13:46. > :13:50.on the part of three or more people in a crowded. Some of them, three of

:13:51. > :13:57.them, are charged with aggravated racial offences of grievous bodily

:13:58. > :14:05.harm. To give you the names of those charged today, Kyran Evans, 23, Liam

:14:06. > :14:09.Neylen, 19, Ben Harman, 20, Ellie Leite, 19, James Neves, 22, and

:14:10. > :14:14.three people who are children under the law and we can't name for legal

:14:15. > :14:18.reasons. They will all appear at Croydon Crown Court on the second of

:14:19. > :14:23.next month and there is quite a lot of processing of the legal paperwork

:14:24. > :14:27.and decisions about bail to be done at this court over the course of

:14:28. > :14:30.lunchtime and this afternoon. Tom Symonds, thank you.

:14:31. > :14:32.The Labour leader has launched his party's campaign

:14:33. > :14:35.Speaking in Nottinghamshire, Jeremy Corbyn accused

:14:36. > :14:37.the Conservatives of running the country down and trying to use

:14:38. > :14:40.Brexit to turn Britain into a low-wage tax haven.

:14:41. > :14:42.He said his party would invest in education, re-nationalise

:14:43. > :14:48.the railways and increase the living wage.

:14:49. > :14:50.A man who pleaded guilty to raping a woman with severe learning

:14:51. > :14:55.disabilities who he held captive in his house has been jailed for 15

:14:56. > :15:01.Keith Baker's wife, Caroline, was also involved in the years

:15:02. > :15:04.of sexual abuse, and was sentenced to three years for a series

:15:05. > :15:14.Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler is outside the court.

:15:15. > :15:21.It is an extremely upsetting and disturbing case, Chris. There must

:15:22. > :15:26.be questions, though, about how a young woman disappeared, it seemed,

:15:27. > :15:28.for eight years? Yes, there certainly are. During

:15:29. > :15:32.sentencing the judge said it was difficult to understand how the

:15:33. > :15:36.couple had lost their moral compass to such an extent that they could

:15:37. > :15:40.abuse of vulnerable woman in such a way for eight years. Some of that

:15:41. > :15:48.abuse they video taped and, as you rightly say, she disappeared for a

:15:49. > :15:51.period of eight years. The alarm was eventually raised by a woman who

:15:52. > :15:54.also lived alongside the couple and she, too, said she was raped by

:15:55. > :15:59.Keith Baker. She has waived her right to anonymity to describe what

:16:00. > :16:04.has happened in what was described in court as a house of horrors to

:16:05. > :16:07.drop. For most of a decade,

:16:08. > :16:09.this estate in Craigavon housed Inside their home and hidden

:16:10. > :16:13.from sight, Keith and Caroline Baker kept a woman with severe learning

:16:14. > :16:16.difficulties a virtual prisoner - and for eight years, they raped

:16:17. > :16:18.and indecently assaulted her. The vulnerable woman went missing

:16:19. > :16:21.in England in 2004 and was only found here in Northern Ireland eight

:16:22. > :16:24.years later, and she wasn't And I couldn't tell

:16:25. > :16:33.anybody about it. Mandy Highfield lived

:16:34. > :16:38.with the couple and is the mother She says she didn't know

:16:39. > :16:45.that the Bakers were sexually abusing the woman kept captive

:16:46. > :16:48.in their house, but she did eventually contact the police

:16:49. > :16:51.because of the conditions She was 45 but she was

:16:52. > :16:58.like a 12-year-old. There was no lightbulb in her light,

:16:59. > :17:05.no carpet on the floor. They were sick people,

:17:06. > :17:14.just really sick people. I don't know how anybody, anybody,

:17:15. > :17:17.can do something like that When the police found the woman,

:17:18. > :17:32.inside an unlit bedroom in the house, she weighed just six

:17:33. > :17:36.stone and the court was told Neighbours say Keith Baker appeared

:17:37. > :17:39.controlling of his wife, but they never imagined

:17:40. > :17:41.what was going on I just thought she was in

:17:42. > :17:57.a situation with domestic violence with an abusive husband that didn't

:17:58. > :17:59.let her out, that was controlling. But it was very, very quiet,

:18:00. > :18:02.never heard anything. During their search of the house,

:18:03. > :18:07.which is no longer owned by the Bakers, detectives found

:18:08. > :18:10.videos taken by the couple, of them The whole case is

:18:11. > :18:17.extremely upsetting. It's horrific and it's

:18:18. > :18:24.depraved and the suffering of this woman over a period of around eight

:18:25. > :18:27.years can only be imagined. It has been an awful life that this

:18:28. > :18:30.woman has been exposed to at the hands of Baker

:18:31. > :18:33.and his wife. The dark truth of what happened

:18:34. > :18:37.in this house may now have been exposed, but authorities on both

:18:38. > :18:39.sides of the Irish Sea face serious questions about how she ended up

:18:40. > :18:42.in the hands of a couple who abused her under the pretence

:18:43. > :18:56.of offering her a home. You are a which she was missing,

:18:57. > :19:00.from March of 2004, when she was first recorded missing, until

:19:01. > :19:08.December of 2012. -- and it is that period of time. It has led to calls

:19:09. > :19:09.for an enquiry. Chris Butler, thank you.

:19:10. > :19:16.More than 50 people have been killed in a suspected chemical attack

:19:17. > :19:19.in the northwestern city of Idlib in Syria.

:19:20. > :19:25.The husband of a woman who was murdered on their honeymoon

:19:26. > :19:29.in Mauritius has returned to the island for the first time.

:19:30. > :19:33.Players in the National Hockey League say they're extraordinarily

:19:34. > :19:36.disappointed with the short sighted decision to stop them from taking

:19:37. > :19:52.The husband of a woman who was murdered on their honeymoon

:19:53. > :19:55.in Mauritius has returned to the island for the first time

:19:56. > :19:58.since her death six years ago, and put up a reward for information

:19:59. > :20:05.John McAreavey has offered two million Mauritian rupees, almost

:20:06. > :20:11.Michaela McAreavey was found strangled in her hotel

:20:12. > :20:15.room in January 2011, just 12 days after her wedding.

:20:16. > :20:20.Two hotel workers stood trial for murder, but were found not guilty.

:20:21. > :20:28.Back on the island where his wife was murdered.

:20:29. > :20:30.This is a return journey most people thought

:20:31. > :20:35.He first came to Mauritius six years ago.

:20:36. > :20:47.But 12 days after getting married, Michaela McAreavey was murdered.

:20:48. > :20:55.Time may have passed but his quest for justice continues. Today, John

:20:56. > :21:00.McAreavey announced a reward to help try to catch his wife's killers. He

:21:01. > :21:06.is offering 2 million Mauritian rupees, more than ?40,000. If anyone

:21:07. > :21:14.can provide information that will subsequently be used and will lead

:21:41. > :21:48.Since then, John McAreavey has not spoken about the case but this week

:21:49. > :21:54.he has decided not just to speak out but to act.

:21:55. > :22:02.Nothing can ever bring Michaela back. That we know. But the next

:22:03. > :22:10.best thing is that the people responsible for this heinous crime,

:22:11. > :22:15.a crime which resulted in a 27-year-old woman losing her life on

:22:16. > :22:22.a honeymoon, then that would bring us a lot of satisfaction.

:22:23. > :22:23.The hotel where Michaela McAreavey was killed

:22:24. > :22:29.Six years on, it's been renamed but what happened here has not been

:22:30. > :22:31.forgotten in Mauritius, especially now that John McAreavey

:22:41. > :22:41.done. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond,

:22:42. > :22:47.has arrived in India to discuss He's accompanied by

:22:48. > :22:53.the Governor of the Bank of England and the leaders

:22:54. > :22:56.of financial services companies. The government is hoping

:22:57. > :22:58.to boost ties between the UK and India as Britain leaves

:22:59. > :23:00.the European Union. This report from Justin Rowlatt does

:23:01. > :23:07.contain some flash photography. India is a crucial part of Britain's

:23:08. > :23:09.post-Brexit strategy, hence the Chancellor's visit to this

:23:10. > :23:15.market in the centre of Delhi. The message of this visit

:23:16. > :23:20.is absolutely clear. What the British government wants

:23:21. > :23:23.to say is that there is a world India already invests more in the UK

:23:24. > :23:31.than the rest of Europe combined, and Philip Hammond is hoping

:23:32. > :23:36.to build on that. India offers a vast potential market

:23:37. > :23:38.and is the fastest-growing large In a trendy cafe, the Chancellor

:23:39. > :23:50.meets Indian entrepreneurs keen to work with British businesses

:23:51. > :23:52.to develop new opportunities, but the real prize is much

:23:53. > :23:57.bigger - a trade deal. This afternoon, he met

:23:58. > :24:00.the Indian Finance Minister. Britain can't negotiate new trade

:24:01. > :24:04.arrangements until it actually leaves the EU,

:24:05. > :24:07.but that doesn't mean it can't begin Though getting a deal,

:24:08. > :24:21.is likely to be difficult. Once that opportunity arises

:24:22. > :24:25.after Brexit, India's open to all arrangements

:24:26. > :24:27.which are in mutual interests But actually getting a deal

:24:28. > :24:34.is likely to be difficult. The EU has been negotiating

:24:35. > :24:37.for nearly a decade without any luck, so why should Britain find

:24:38. > :24:41.it any easier? 28 countries trying to agree

:24:42. > :24:44.together the terms of a deal that they want to make with a third

:24:45. > :24:47.country is always going We've seen that in other European

:24:48. > :24:55.negotiations as well. It's always easier to make

:24:56. > :24:58.a bilateral agreement than it is to But don't underestimate

:24:59. > :25:03.the work involved. Britain will be trying

:25:04. > :25:05.to strike similar deals It is going to keep a small army

:25:12. > :25:22.increases the risk of heart attack, Scientists have been investigating

:25:23. > :25:27.why the most common cause of death for serving firefighters is heart

:25:28. > :25:31.attack or heart disease. Our health correspondent,

:25:32. > :25:36.Sophie Hutchinson, reports. Experienced firefighter Simon

:25:37. > :25:40.McNally used to train new recruits. It meant several times a day

:25:41. > :25:42.he was exposed to fires Then one day at work

:25:43. > :25:52.he had a heart attack. You are hoping it is

:25:53. > :25:56.indigestion or something else. You are hoping it is not going to be

:25:57. > :26:00.as sinister as a heart attack. We keep ourselves reasonably fit

:26:01. > :26:04.in the fire service. We have to pass a standard

:26:05. > :26:07.test every year. We have a check-up

:26:08. > :26:09.every three years. It was a bit confusing to be faced

:26:10. > :26:12.with those symptoms. Heart attacks are the leading

:26:13. > :26:14.cause of death for front Studies in America have shown almost

:26:15. > :26:18.half of all firefighters who die on duty are killed

:26:19. > :26:21.by heart problems. The new research carried out

:26:22. > :26:25.by Edinburgh University and published in the journal

:26:26. > :26:28.Circulation monitored the heart of 19 healthy firefighters

:26:29. > :26:31.during mock rescues. It found body temperatures rose

:26:32. > :26:35.by one degree Celsius and remained high for up

:26:36. > :26:42.to four hours afterwards. Blood vessels failed

:26:43. > :26:45.to relax despite medication and the blood became stickier,

:26:46. > :26:47.carrying a higher risk of forming Scientists believe the reason

:26:48. > :26:50.was the extreme physical They say simple measures

:26:51. > :26:54.like staying hydrated and taking breaks to cool down are vital

:26:55. > :26:56.for saving the lives British scientists say they've

:26:57. > :27:08.created a sieve capable of removing It uses a derivative of graphene -

:27:09. > :27:12.a fine sheet of carbon The development, at the University

:27:13. > :27:15.of Manchester, has the potential to improve access to clean drinking

:27:16. > :27:17.water for millions of With me now is our science

:27:18. > :27:28.correspondent Rebecca Morelle. Let's find out more. Explain a

:27:29. > :27:32.little bit more about how it works. Well, graphene has been hailed as a

:27:33. > :27:36.wonder material with all these great qualities, like it is very light yet

:27:37. > :27:39.very strong and very flexible. Scientists have been looking at

:27:40. > :27:43.Lords of applications and this is an interesting one. The idea is simple.

:27:44. > :27:47.Essentially they have turned it into a miniature serves, little membrane

:27:48. > :27:57.with tiny holes in it. And the water molecules, which are very small, the

:27:58. > :28:00.H2O molecules can go very easily. Salt is a bigger molecule, and it

:28:01. > :28:04.cannot go through so easily. So you pour in the water and the salt stays

:28:05. > :28:08.behind, clean water comes out, which is sounds easy but it has been a big

:28:09. > :28:13.technological challenge. The question is, what application could

:28:14. > :28:16.it have? How exciting is this? This is a laboratory based study. There

:28:17. > :28:19.are several things they need to do, first of all see if they can scale

:28:20. > :28:25.it up to an industrial level, the scale it would need to be to make

:28:26. > :28:30.any sort of difference. And it has to be very durable. The third point

:28:31. > :28:33.is cost. There are desalination plant in the desert that use

:28:34. > :28:36.sunlight to separate water and salt, so it would need to be cheaper than

:28:37. > :28:42.those to be effective. The UN says by 2025 1.8 billion people will be

:28:43. > :28:48.in need of fresh drinking water, there will be some sort of scarcity.

:28:49. > :28:49.This could make a big difference if it passes those tests. It is quite

:28:50. > :28:54.early days. Thank you. The Church of England has

:28:55. > :28:56.accused the National Trust of 'airbrushing faith',

:28:57. > :28:58.after the word Easter was dropped from the title of its egg hunt

:28:59. > :29:07.which is sponsored by Cadbury. Theresa May Kolbe omission

:29:08. > :29:08.absolutely ridiculous. -- called the omission.

:29:09. > :29:10.The conservation charity has said it's nonsense to suggest

:29:11. > :29:12.the significance of Easter is being downplayed.

:29:13. > :29:16.This Easter, Cadbury is bringing joy to the whole nation.

:29:17. > :29:19.As Easter approaches, chocolate eggs are being hidden

:29:20. > :29:23.at National Trust properties up and down the UK.

:29:24. > :29:26.But the name of the event has attracted furious comments

:29:27. > :29:29.from the Archbishop of York, who is annoyed that the word Easter

:29:42. > :29:43.Doctor John Sentamu says that Cadbury's Christian faith

:29:44. > :29:51.To drop Easter from Cadbury's Easter egg hunt in my book,

:29:52. > :29:54.is tantamount to spitting on the grave of the founder.

:29:55. > :29:55.For Christians, Easter eggs are symbolic of

:29:56. > :29:59.And now the Prime Minister, Theresa May, a vicar's daughter,

:30:00. > :30:07.It's very important as a festival for Christians,

:30:08. > :30:11.I think what the National Trust is doing is frankly just ridiculous.

:30:12. > :30:13.But is this all a storm in an egg cup?

:30:14. > :30:16.I do think it is just a big fuss over nothing.

:30:17. > :30:24.In one way, it is a very traditional thing,

:30:25. > :30:26.but I guess on the other hand everyone is entitled to either

:30:27. > :30:34.Cadbury point out that their website, advertising and many

:30:35. > :30:37.of their seasonal products feature the word Easter prominently.

:30:38. > :30:38.This morning the National Trust updated their website

:30:39. > :30:41.following the uproar to feature Easter in its title.

:30:42. > :30:43.They say it is nonsense to suggest the National Trust is downplaying

:30:44. > :30:49.You have to wonder what Cadbury's founder, John Cadbury,

:30:50. > :30:53.As a Quaker, he did not celebrate Easter Sunday.

:30:54. > :30:55.Instead the group says it remembers Jesus all year.

:30:56. > :31:07.No controversy about the weather, I hope. Lots of bright weather to come

:31:08. > :31:11.over the next few days but nothing as warm as we had at the end of

:31:12. > :31:16.March where some of us got above 22 degrees. As a consequence, it is no

:31:17. > :31:20.surprise that when we look at the statistics for March 2017, we find

:31:21. > :31:25.across the UK that it was the fifth mildest on record. For south-east

:31:26. > :31:30.England, it was the joint mildest march on record. We saw a filament

:31:31. > :31:37.of rain, average amounts during the month. -- a fair amount of rain.

:31:38. > :31:41.Despite some sunshine, and many of us have seen that today, the picture

:31:42. > :31:45.in south Wales for example, it is not as warm as it was last week.

:31:46. > :31:51.There is cloud around and this is the satellite picture. Speckled

:31:52. > :31:56.cloud in north-west Scotland. Across parts of Kent, that was the view

:31:57. > :32:02.earlier on. Thanks to Becky. Grey skies and rain around. For the rest

:32:03. > :32:06.of this afternoon, elements of cloud across the south-east and maybe the

:32:07. > :32:11.odd shower but equally some breaks in the cloud. Temperatures up to 15

:32:12. > :32:13.or 16. And then it is largely sunshine into the West Midlands,

:32:14. > :32:19.Wales, northern England and Easter in Scotland. A decent today to get

:32:20. > :32:21.out and about. Not a bad afternoon for Northern Ireland but showers

:32:22. > :32:26.continue across western and northern Scotland, some on the heavy side.

:32:27. > :32:30.And it will be windy across the far north of Scotland as well. Through

:32:31. > :32:35.this evening and tonight, we could see wind gusts of 60 or 70mph.

:32:36. > :32:39.Showers continue overnight across Scotland and we will lose most of

:32:40. > :32:43.the cloud and patchy rain. In between, there will be the odd mist

:32:44. > :32:48.patch and it will actually be quite a chilly night, may be cold enough

:32:49. > :32:51.for a touch of grass frost. Into tomorrow, clearly in the southern

:32:52. > :32:55.areas we will have the best of the sunshine. Further north, a wedge of

:32:56. > :32:58.cloud spilling its way through Northern Ireland and much of

:32:59. > :33:03.Scotland, eventually into the Midlands, East Anglia, and the

:33:04. > :33:07.south-east as well. The sky will turn increasingly grey, with maybe

:33:08. > :33:11.the odd spot of rain. Temperatures between ten and 14. By the end of

:33:12. > :33:15.the week, more of the same. Thursday and Friday, to remind of cloud but

:33:16. > :33:18.it will be dry. At times we will see some spells of sunshine and then we

:33:19. > :33:21.will get to the weekend. High pressure trying to hold on,

:33:22. > :33:25.retreating slowly to the east. This weather front making attempts to

:33:26. > :33:29.move in from the West. But most of us will stay dry during a weekend

:33:30. > :33:32.and with that dry weather, when you do escape the rain, warm here

:33:33. > :33:35.wafting up from the south. That could bring temperatures back to

:33:36. > :33:40.where they were for the end of March.

:33:41. > :33:43.Excellent. And that is all from the BBC News at One.
