Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News At One. | :01:20. | :01:52. | |
At least 58 people have been killed in a suspected chemical attack | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
in the rebel-held province of Idlib in northern Syria. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Emergency services who arrived in the area shortly after a series | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
of strikes said they found people choking in the street. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
The Syrian government has repeatedly denied using chemical weapons. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
The dead are mostly civilians, and include at least 11 children. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
In the last hour, France has called for an emergency meeting | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
of the UN Security Council to discuss the attack. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
Our correspondent Ben James reports from Beirut. | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
This is some of the footage opposition activists posted online | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
after the attack on the town Bauer a town here. It was said that the | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
symptoms, the difficulty breathing and foaming at the mouth were | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
consistent with a gas attack. Witnesses talked about people | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
choking and fainting after the early morning air strike. Other pictures | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
too graphic to broadcast showed what appeared to be the seminaked bodies | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
of the dead, many of them children. Some reports describe people taking | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Victors' clothes off and hosing them with water to try to help them. | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
TRANSLATION: The symptoms that we witnessed are different than | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
symptoms of chlorine gas. All the victims who arrived had a new role | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
stress. Very soon, blood started coming out of their mouths, which | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
means that their lungs are damaged. This area in the north-west of Syria | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
has been under heavy bombardment by pro-government forces. That is | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
controlled by a range of opposition groups jihadists linked to Al-Qaeda | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
and Free Syrian Army fighters. There has been no official response from | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
the Syrian government to the claim of a gas attack. They've repeatedly | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
denied using such weapons in the past. A political opposition group | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
has called for a UN investigation into today's attack. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
Ben is in Beirut with the latest. As you say, there is always a denial | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
that chemical weapons are used. What is the latest you are hearing? Also | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
just in the last 20 minutes or so, a denial from the Russian defence | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
ministry that their planes were involved in an air strike in this | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
area. We've been seeing footage posted online of what appears to be | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
a rocket attack on hospital where some of the victims of this strike | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
were being treated. It is worth reminding everybody of the | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
background chemical attacks in the conflict in Syria. Just last year, a | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
report by the UN and the Organisation for the Prohibition of | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
Chemical found evidence that three times the government had used | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
chlorine gas in attacks in 2014 and 2015 and it found that the so-called | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Islamic State had used mustard gas in an attack as well. Back in August | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
2013, you will remember this issue was a big one, it was around the | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
time that the UK Parliament rejected the possibility of military action | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
in response to a chemical attack in an area close to Damascus. The | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
United States and President Obama had described that as a red line | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
that would provoke a military response. That didn't happen in the | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
end because the deal brokered between the USA and Russia to | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
decommission a declared stockpile of Syrian chemical weapons, that | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
process was declared completed just over a year ago at the beginning of | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
2016. Some more of the responses coming in and reaction from the | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
international community. You mentioned the call by France for an | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. In the last few minutes, | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
the UN's foreign affairs chief has said that President Assad declares | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
responsibility for what she calls this awful attack. | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
14 people are now known to have died in the explosion on a St Petersburg | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
The prime suspect, who's believed to be among the dead, | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
has been named as Akbarzhon Jalilov, who had Russian citizenship | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
49 people were injured in the explosion - | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
Let's go to our correspondent Sarah Rainsford in Saint Petersburg. | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
This is a city that is now trying to get back to normal after this | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
horrific attack. I think you can see behind me that the Metro station | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
here is now open again and is working but I've spoken to some | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
fairly nervous passengers, one woman who said she just didn't want to go | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
down on the Metro again after what happened. 14 people are now | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
confirmed to have lost their lives in this attack. Three people died | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
this morning after the initial 11 were killed in the explosion. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Russian investigators are now saying they have evidence that this could | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
have been carried out by a suicide bomber. They have been bringing | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
flowers here all morning, creating a shrine in the very heart of St | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
Petersburg. A whole city suffering after a bomb tore through a train | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
deep underground here. Anyone of us could have been in that carriage, | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
this woman says. She believes 6 million people in St Petersburg are | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
in danger. These were the panic to seems right after the blast. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Passengers in the mangled wreck of a train struggling to reach safety. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
Those on the platform hunting for survivors, desperate to help however | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
they could. The train was between stations when the bomb went off. | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
Down the line, a man filming on his phone heard the explosion. Then came | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
the smoke and a terrible smell. And from someone passing on the other | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
platform, a glimpse of the carnage. The train driver kept going to make | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
sure rescuers could research the injured. Today, calmly, he told his | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
story. TRANSLATION: There was a bang and spoke. Icon doubted the | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
dispatcher and reported the situation. At that moment, in | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
compensable messages began to come in on the passenger driver named | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
because everyone was speaking in all the carriages. President Putin was | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
in St Petersburg when the attack happened. Last night he visited the | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
scene himself. This is a blow against his hometown. Earlier, in | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
muted tones, he had called this a tragedy as an official investigation | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
into a terrorist attack was opened. It is now 18 months since Russia's | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
president ordered air strikes in Syria. With thousands of Russian | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
citizens fighting alongside IS, this campaign was sold as a way to stop | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
them bringing that war back home. As the investigation into the Metro | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
attack continues, Russian officials now say there is evidence this could | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
have been the work of a suicide bomber. The security service in | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
Kyrgyzstan, central Asia, say a man born there, who has a Russian | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
passport, is now a key suspect. The Metro station here has been closed | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
again after another bomb scare. It is the latest of several since the | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
explosion here yesterday. This is clearly a city that is very much an | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
edge because nothing like this has ever happened here. So, as people | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
here mourn their dead, they wait, too, for answers as to how and why | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
this happened and how safe they are in their city. | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
The man in charge of the investigation here has said forensic | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
teams are going through evidence at the blast site, checking security | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
cameras and questioning witnesses as they tried to establish who exactly | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
was behind this attack. There is, as you have heard, one key suspect at | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
the moment but, for the moment, the Russian side in particular are being | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
very cautious about releasing too many details and so that makes it | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
extremely nervous times here in St Petersburg and in Russia as a whole | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
after this latest horrific attack. Thank you, Sarah Rainsford. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
The Prime Minister has insisted it is in both the UK and the EU's | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
Theresa May, who has just arrived in Saudi Arabia, was responding to a | :10:07. | :10:17. | |
report from MPs that challenged the Government's claim that no deal is | :10:18. | :10:18. | |
better than a bad deal. The Parliamentary Committee | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
for Exiting the EU says Parliament should be consulted before ministers | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
walk away without a deal. But six pro-Brexit MPs | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
on the Committee voted against the report, | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
saying it was too gloomy. Our political correspondent | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
Ellie Price reports. The charm offensive is on. Theresa | :10:31. | :10:40. | |
May is in the Middle East on a mission to foster new partners and | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
new trade partnerships in a post-Brexit world. Here in Jordan, | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
next stop Saudi Arabia. I want to see a truly global Britain that is | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
really outward looking. A good trade deal with the EU but yes, good trade | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
deals around the world. But our relationships around the world are | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
not just about trade, they are about ensuring we can maintain our | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
security and support the security of areas like the Gulf region. But as | :11:05. | :11:14. | |
Britain looks to make new deals further afield, closer to home | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
questions over what would happen if the UK and EU failed to reach a | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
trade agreement Edem backbench MPs have released a report warning of | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
the risks and called on the government to work out how much no | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
deal would cost. Without the Government setting out what | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
mitigating steps it would put in place, the assertion that no deal is | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
better than a bad deal is, in the words of the report, | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
unsubstantiated. Select committees are meant to hold the government to | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
account it up they are made up of MPs from across the political | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
spectrum. In the case of the Brexit committee, they are also made up of | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
pro-leave and pro-remain MPs. This report didn't have the full support | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
of all its members, some of whom said it was too pessimistic about | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
Brexit. And critics say a committee report without the full backing of | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
its members lacks full credibility. It was far too obsessively focused | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
on one side, which is the risks, the downsides of leaving the EU, with | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
scant real attention to the upside and the opportunities. And actually, | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
what we should be doing, I believe, is both. The Prime Minister insisted | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
that every scenario in the Brexit negotiations was being considered | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
but that a good deal for the UK would benefit the EU as well. In the | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
meantime she is looking beyond Europe. This morning she shrugged | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
off criticism is about human rights concerns and insisted engagement | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
with the likes of Saudi Arabia was in the national interest. Ellie | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
Price, BBC News, Westminster. Detectives investigating the attack | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
on a young asylum seeker in south London on Friday have charged | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
a further six people in connection with the assault, | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
including a 15-year-old boy. Our home affairs correspondent | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
Tom Symonds is outside What has been happening today? | :12:50. | :13:01. | |
Just to remind you, this relates to an incident on Friday night when | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
three young asylum seekers were heading to a bus stop in a suburb of | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
Croydon. They came into contact with a large group of people at a pub | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
nearby, between 20 and 30, and there was a confrontation and the result | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
of that was that a 17-year-old asylum seeker was kicked and beaten | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
and given quite serious head and spinal injuries. As you say, 16 | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
people arrested. We now have eight further charges today here at | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
Croydon magistrates court and those charged are being processed by the | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
court, bail terms considered and discussed. They have all been | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
charged with violent disorder and that involves the threat of violence | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
on the part of three or more people in a crowded. Some of them, three of | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
them, are charged with aggravated racial offences of grievous bodily | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
harm. To give you the names of those charged today, Kyran Evans, 23, Liam | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
Neylen, 19, Ben Harman, 20, Ellie Leite, 19, James Neves, 22, and | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
three people who are children under the law and we can't name for legal | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
reasons. They will all appear at Croydon Crown Court on the second of | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
next month and there is quite a lot of processing of the legal paperwork | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
and decisions about bail to be done at this court over the course of | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
lunchtime and this afternoon. Tom Symonds, thank you. | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
The Labour leader has launched his party's campaign | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
Speaking in Nottinghamshire, Jeremy Corbyn accused | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
the Conservatives of running the country down and trying to use | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
Brexit to turn Britain into a low-wage tax haven. | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
He said his party would invest in education, re-nationalise | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
the railways and increase the living wage. | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
A man who pleaded guilty to raping a woman with severe learning | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
disabilities who he held captive in his house has been jailed for 15 | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
Keith Baker's wife, Caroline, was also involved in the years | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
of sexual abuse, and was sentenced to three years for a series | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler is outside the court. | :15:05. | :15:14. | |
It is an extremely upsetting and disturbing case, Chris. There must | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
be questions, though, about how a young woman disappeared, it seemed, | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
for eight years? Yes, there certainly are. During | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
sentencing the judge said it was difficult to understand how the | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
couple had lost their moral compass to such an extent that they could | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
abuse of vulnerable woman in such a way for eight years. Some of that | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
abuse they video taped and, as you rightly say, she disappeared for a | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
period of eight years. The alarm was eventually raised by a woman who | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
also lived alongside the couple and she, too, said she was raped by | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
Keith Baker. She has waived her right to anonymity to describe what | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
has happened in what was described in court as a house of horrors to | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
drop. For most of a decade, | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
this estate in Craigavon housed Inside their home and hidden | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
from sight, Keith and Caroline Baker kept a woman with severe learning | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
difficulties a virtual prisoner - and for eight years, they raped | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
and indecently assaulted her. The vulnerable woman went missing | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
in England in 2004 and was only found here in Northern Ireland eight | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
years later, and she wasn't And I couldn't tell | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
anybody about it. Mandy Highfield lived | :16:25. | :16:33. | |
with the couple and is the mother She says she didn't know | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
that the Bakers were sexually abusing the woman kept captive | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
in their house, but she did eventually contact the police | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
because of the conditions She was 45 but she was | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
like a 12-year-old. There was no lightbulb in her light, | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
no carpet on the floor. They were sick people, | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
just really sick people. I don't know how anybody, anybody, | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
can do something like that When the police found the woman, | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
inside an unlit bedroom in the house, she weighed just six | :17:18. | :17:32. | |
stone and the court was told Neighbours say Keith Baker appeared | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
controlling of his wife, but they never imagined | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
what was going on I just thought she was in | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
a situation with domestic violence with an abusive husband that didn't | :17:42. | :17:57. | |
let her out, that was controlling. But it was very, very quiet, | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
never heard anything. During their search of the house, | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
which is no longer owned by the Bakers, detectives found | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
videos taken by the couple, of them The whole case is | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
extremely upsetting. It's horrific and it's | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
depraved and the suffering of this woman over a period of around eight | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
years can only be imagined. It has been an awful life that this | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
woman has been exposed to at the hands of Baker | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
and his wife. The dark truth of what happened | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
in this house may now have been exposed, but authorities on both | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
sides of the Irish Sea face serious questions about how she ended up | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
in the hands of a couple who abused her under the pretence | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
of offering her a home. You are a which she was missing, | :18:43. | :18:56. | |
from March of 2004, when she was first recorded missing, until | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
December of 2012. -- and it is that period of time. It has led to calls | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
for an enquiry. Chris Butler, thank you. | :19:09. | :19:09. | |
More than 50 people have been killed in a suspected chemical attack | :19:10. | :19:16. | |

The husband of a woman who was murdered on their honeymoon | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
in Mauritius has returned to the island for the first time. | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
Players in the National Hockey League say they're extraordinarily | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
disappointed with the short sighted decision to stop them from taking | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
The husband of a woman who was murdered on their honeymoon | :19:37. | :19:52. | |
in Mauritius has returned to the island for the first time | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
since her death six years ago, and put up a reward for information | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
John McAreavey has offered two million Mauritian rupees, almost | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
Michaela McAreavey was found strangled in her hotel | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
room in January 2011, just 12 days after her wedding. | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
Two hotel workers stood trial for murder, but were found not guilty. | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
Back on the island where his wife was murdered. | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
This is a return journey most people thought | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
He first came to Mauritius six years ago. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
But 12 days after getting married, Michaela McAreavey was murdered. | :20:36. | :20:47. | |
Time may have passed but his quest for justice continues. Today, John | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
McAreavey announced a reward to help try to catch his wife's killers. He | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
is offering 2 million Mauritian rupees, more than ?40,000. If anyone | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
can provide information that will subsequently be used and will lead | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
to a successful conviction in court for the people responsible for | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
Michaela's murder, then they are fully entitled to that reward. | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
John and Michaela were a well-known couple back home | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
Her father, Mickey Harte, is one of Ireland's most successful | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
She disturbed intruders who broke into her room. | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
Two hotel workers later went on trial for murder, | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
Since then, John McAreavey has not spoken about the case but this week | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
he has decided not just to speak out but to act. | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
Nothing can ever bring Michaela back. That we know. But the next | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
best thing is that the people responsible for this heinous crime, | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
a crime which resulted in a 27-year-old woman losing her life on | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
a honeymoon, then that would bring us a lot of satisfaction. | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
The hotel where Michaela McAreavey was killed | :22:23. | :22:23. | |
Six years on, it's been renamed but what happened here has not been | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
forgotten in Mauritius, especially now that John McAreavey | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
And he says he is prepared to return again and again until justice is | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
done. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, | :22:41. | :22:41. | |
has arrived in India to discuss He's accompanied by | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
the Governor of the Bank of England and the leaders | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
of financial services companies. The government is hoping | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
to boost ties between the UK and India as Britain leaves | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
the European Union. This report from Justin Rowlatt does | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
contain some flash photography. India is a crucial part of Britain's | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
post-Brexit strategy, hence the Chancellor's visit to this | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
market in the centre of Delhi. The message of this visit | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
is absolutely clear. What the British government wants | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
to say is that there is a world India already invests more in the UK | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
than the rest of Europe combined, and Philip Hammond is hoping | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
to build on that. India offers a vast potential market | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
and is the fastest-growing large In a trendy cafe, the Chancellor | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
meets Indian entrepreneurs keen to work with British businesses | :23:39. | :23:50. | |
to develop new opportunities, but the real prize is much | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
bigger - a trade deal. This afternoon, he met | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
the Indian Finance Minister. Britain can't negotiate new trade | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
arrangements until it actually leaves the EU, | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
but that doesn't mean it can't begin Though getting a deal, | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
is likely to be difficult. Once that opportunity arises | :24:08. | :24:21. | |
after Brexit, India's open to all arrangements | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
which are in mutual interests But actually getting a deal | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
is likely to be difficult. The EU has been negotiating | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
for nearly a decade without any luck, so why should Britain find | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
it any easier? 28 countries trying to agree | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
together the terms of a deal that they want to make with a third | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
country is always going We've seen that in other European | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
negotiations as well. It's always easier to make | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
a bilateral agreement than it is to But don't underestimate | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
the work involved. Britain will be trying | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
to strike similar deals It is going to keep a small army | :25:04. | :25:05. | |
of civil servants very busy Working in high temperatures | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
increases the risk of heart attack, Scientists have been investigating | :25:12. | :25:22. | |
why the most common cause of death for serving firefighters is heart | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
attack or heart disease. Our health correspondent, | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
Sophie Hutchinson, reports. Experienced firefighter Simon | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
McNally used to train new recruits. It meant several times a day | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
he was exposed to fires Then one day at work | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
he had a heart attack. You are hoping it is | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
indigestion or something else. You are hoping it is not going to be | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
as sinister as a heart attack. We keep ourselves reasonably fit | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
in the fire service. We have to pass a standard | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
test every year. We have a check-up | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
every three years. It was a bit confusing to be faced | :26:08. | :26:09. | |
with those symptoms. Heart attacks are the leading | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
cause of death for front Studies in America have shown almost | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
half of all firefighters who die on duty are killed | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
by heart problems. The new research carried out | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
by Edinburgh University and published in the journal | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
Circulation monitored the heart of 19 healthy firefighters | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
during mock rescues. It found body temperatures rose | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
by one degree Celsius and remained high for up | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
to four hours afterwards. Blood vessels failed | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
to relax despite medication and the blood became stickier, | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
carrying a higher risk of forming Scientists believe the reason | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
was the extreme physical They say simple measures | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
like staying hydrated and taking breaks to cool down are vital | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
for saving the lives British scientists say they've | :26:55. | :26:56. | |
created a sieve capable of removing It uses a derivative of graphene - | :26:57. | :27:08. | |
a fine sheet of carbon The development, at the University | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
of Manchester, has the potential to improve access to clean drinking | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
water for millions of With me now is our science | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
correspondent Rebecca Morelle. Let's find out more. Explain a | :27:18. | :27:28. | |
little bit more about how it works. Well, graphene has been hailed as a | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
wonder material with all these great qualities, like it is very light yet | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
very strong and very flexible. Scientists have been looking at | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
Lords of applications and this is an interesting one. The idea is simple. | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
Essentially they have turned it into a miniature serves, little membrane | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
with tiny holes in it. And the water molecules, which are very small, the | :27:48. | :27:57. | |
H2O molecules can go very easily. Salt is a bigger molecule, and it | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
cannot go through so easily. So you pour in the water and the salt stays | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
behind, clean water comes out, which is sounds easy but it has been a big | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
technological challenge. The question is, what application could | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
it have? How exciting is this? This is a laboratory based study. There | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
are several things they need to do, first of all see if they can scale | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
it up to an industrial level, the scale it would need to be to make | :28:20. | :28:25. | |
any sort of difference. And it has to be very durable. The third point | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
is cost. There are desalination plant in the desert that use | :28:31. | :28:33. | |
sunlight to separate water and salt, so it would need to be cheaper than | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
those to be effective. The UN says by 2025 1.8 billion people will be | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
in need of fresh drinking water, there will be some sort of scarcity. | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
This could make a big difference if it passes those tests. It is quite | :28:49. | :28:49. | |
early days. Thank you. The Church of England has | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
accused the National Trust of 'airbrushing faith', | :28:55. | :28:56. | |
after the word Easter was dropped from the title of its egg hunt | :28:57. | :28:58. | |
which is sponsored by Cadbury. Theresa May Kolbe omission | :28:59. | :29:07. | |
absolutely ridiculous. -- called the omission. | :29:08. | :29:08. | |
The conservation charity has said it's nonsense to suggest | :29:09. | :29:10. | |
the significance of Easter is being downplayed. | :29:11. | :29:12. | |
This Easter, Cadbury is bringing joy to the whole nation. | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
As Easter approaches, chocolate eggs are being hidden | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
at National Trust properties up and down the UK. | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
But the name of the event has attracted furious comments | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
from the Archbishop of York, who is annoyed that the word Easter | :29:27. | :29:29. | |
With Cadbury's Great British Egg Hunt. | :29:30. | :29:41. | |
Doctor John Sentamu says that Cadbury's Christian faith | :29:42. | :29:43. | |
To drop Easter from Cadbury's Easter egg hunt in my book, | :29:44. | :29:51. | |
is tantamount to spitting on the grave of the founder. | :29:52. | :29:54. | |
For Christians, Easter eggs are symbolic of | :29:55. | :29:55. | |
And now the Prime Minister, Theresa May, a vicar's daughter, | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
It's very important as a festival for Christians, | :30:00. | :30:07. | |
I think what the National Trust is doing is frankly just ridiculous. | :30:08. | :30:11. | |
But is this all a storm in an egg cup? | :30:12. | :30:13. | |
I do think it is just a big fuss over nothing. | :30:14. | :30:16. | |
In one way, it is a very traditional thing, | :30:17. | :30:24. | |
but I guess on the other hand everyone is entitled to either | :30:25. | :30:26. | |
Cadbury point out that their website, advertising and many | :30:27. | :30:34. | |
of their seasonal products feature the word Easter prominently. | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
This morning the National Trust updated their website | :30:38. | :30:38. | |
following the uproar to feature Easter in its title. | :30:39. | :30:41. | |
They say it is nonsense to suggest the National Trust is downplaying | :30:42. | :30:43. | |
You have to wonder what Cadbury's founder, John Cadbury, | :30:44. | :30:49. | |
As a Quaker, he did not celebrate Easter Sunday. | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
Instead the group says it remembers Jesus all year. | :30:54. | :30:55. | |
No controversy about the weather, I hope. Lots of bright weather to come | :30:56. | :31:07. | |
over the next few days but nothing as warm as we had at the end of | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
March where some of us got above 22 degrees. As a consequence, it is no | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
surprise that when we look at the statistics for March 2017, we find | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
across the UK that it was the fifth mildest on record. For south-east | :31:21. | :31:25. | |
England, it was the joint mildest march on record. We saw a filament | :31:26. | :31:30. | |
of rain, average amounts during the month. -- a fair amount of rain. | :31:31. | :31:37. | |
Despite some sunshine, and many of us have seen that today, the picture | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
in south Wales for example, it is not as warm as it was last week. | :31:42. | :31:45. | |
There is cloud around and this is the satellite picture. Speckled | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
cloud in north-west Scotland. Across parts of Kent, that was the view | :31:52. | :31:56. | |
earlier on. Thanks to Becky. Grey skies and rain around. For the rest | :31:57. | :32:02. | |
of this afternoon, elements of cloud across the south-east and maybe the | :32:03. | :32:06. | |
odd shower but equally some breaks in the cloud. Temperatures up to 15 | :32:07. | :32:11. | |
or 16. And then it is largely sunshine into the West Midlands, | :32:12. | :32:13. | |
Wales, northern England and Easter in Scotland. A decent today to get | :32:14. | :32:19. | |
out and about. Not a bad afternoon for Northern Ireland but showers | :32:20. | :32:21. | |
continue across western and northern Scotland, some on the heavy side. | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
And it will be windy across the far north of Scotland as well. Through | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
this evening and tonight, we could see wind gusts of 60 or 70mph. | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
Showers continue overnight across Scotland and we will lose most of | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
the cloud and patchy rain. In between, there will be the odd mist | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
patch and it will actually be quite a chilly night, may be cold enough | :32:44. | :32:48. | |
for a touch of grass frost. Into tomorrow, clearly in the southern | :32:49. | :32:51. | |
areas we will have the best of the sunshine. Further north, a wedge of | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
cloud spilling its way through Northern Ireland and much of | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
Scotland, eventually into the Midlands, East Anglia, and the | :32:59. | :33:03. | |
south-east as well. The sky will turn increasingly grey, with maybe | :33:04. | :33:07. | |
the odd spot of rain. Temperatures between ten and 14. By the end of | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
the week, more of the same. Thursday and Friday, to remind of cloud but | :33:12. | :33:15. | |
it will be dry. At times we will see some spells of sunshine and then we | :33:16. | :33:18. | |
will get to the weekend. High pressure trying to hold on, | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
retreating slowly to the east. This weather front making attempts to | :33:22. | :33:25. | |
move in from the West. But most of us will stay dry during a weekend | :33:26. | :33:29. | |
and with that dry weather, when you do escape the rain, warm here | :33:30. | :33:32. | |
wafting up from the south. That could bring temperatures back to | :33:33. | :33:35. | |
where they were for the end of March. | :33:36. | :33:40. | |
Excellent. And that is all from the BBC News at One. | :33:41. | :33:43. |
