:03:39. > :03:47.attack. We also want to see now the results of the investigation by the

:03:53. > :03:59.very wide measure of agreement last night that notch just the Syrian
:04:00. > :04:06.generals, but if we could show complicity by those Russian officers
:04:07. > :04:12.who are helping the Syrian military operation, then they should also be
:04:13. > :04:15.sanctioned as well. The Syrians will never allow a proper investigation
:04:16. > :04:23.on what they see as their sovereign territory? The bigger picture is
:04:24. > :04:26.that we are moving now into an environment where the Russians have
:04:27. > :04:30.to make a choice. They basically changed the game in Syria a couple
:04:31. > :04:36.of years ago, when they came in and saved Assad. It turns out the guy
:04:37. > :04:39.that they have saved is a guy who has absolutely no compunction about
:04:40. > :04:42.poisoning and murdering his own people with weapons that should have
:04:43. > :04:47.been banned 100 years ago. They have a choice of sticking with him like
:04:48. > :04:51.glue, or deciding to work with the rest of the world towards a new
:04:52. > :04:55.political solution. This is further evidence of western failure in Syria
:04:56. > :05:00.and the triumph of Russian might, isn't it? On the contrary. What you
:05:01. > :05:07.have had in the last week, everybody... I think the Saudi
:05:08. > :05:11.foreign minister said, and he spoke for many people around the table, he
:05:12. > :05:17.said America is back. And thank goodness we have got American
:05:18. > :05:20.leadership again. And what he meant by that was that the United States
:05:21. > :05:26.had finally shown, after five years of doing nothing, after the tragedy
:05:27. > :05:34.when we ignored what happened, the United States responded to the use

:05:53. > :05:56.Russians made it clear today they want cooperation with United. The
:05:57. > :06:01.Russian Foreign Ministry issued a very long statement ahead of Rex
:06:02. > :06:06.Tillerson's visit. This is the statement. It basically sets out
:06:07. > :06:09.Russia's position. It says although Moscow is concerned about various
:06:10. > :06:16.aspects of American foreign policy from Syria to Libya and North Korea,
:06:17. > :06:17.the Russians want constructive cooperation, not confrontation. They
:06:18. > :06:22.want productive negotiations and they want the most open dialogue
:06:23. > :06:27.possible with America. But there is a but. The Russians also stressed
:06:28. > :06:31.they don't want to give up what they regard as their legitimate
:06:32. > :06:34.interests. Until now, they have seen that having President Assad in power

:06:36. > :06:44.The Foreign Secretary really had been pushing his argument about
:06:45. > :06:49.targeted sanctions. He didn't get them. How big a setback is that?
:06:50. > :06:52.I think it will be seen by many people as quite a significant
:06:53. > :06:57.reverse, because, let's be honest, Mr Johnson went into these talks
:06:58. > :07:00.hanging the drums for those sanctions. That option has in effect
:07:01. > :07:08.been rejected for Mac booted into a long, dark, damp piece of diplomatic
:07:09. > :07:11.grass. There is no question of sanctions until an investigation
:07:12. > :07:15.into the chemical attack. That may never happen. The Syrians may not
:07:16. > :07:19.allow the inspectors in. Even then it may be possible to identify who

:07:25. > :07:27.Johnson was only arguing for a limited sanctions on named military

:13:28. > :13:38.care. What does all of that tell us about
:13:39. > :13:44.the pressure on the system is under? I think it puts cold, hard numbers
:13:45. > :13:49.on a problem that those providing care have been warning us about four
:13:50. > :13:53.some time. The real difficulty they face recruiting and retaining staff.
:13:54. > :13:57.In the end of this sector is about people. If you want a kind,
:13:58. > :14:02.compassionate care system, you need to be able to recruit good start and
:14:03. > :14:09.then keep them. The annual turnover rate of staff in this sector is 27%.
:14:10. > :14:13.That is nearly double the average for most other professions. There
:14:14. > :14:17.are two clear effects. One is, it is pretty miserable if you are the
:14:18. > :14:20.person getting the care, because you are asking them to do intimate
:14:21. > :14:24.things, like help you go to the toilet, help you dress. You want to
:14:25. > :14:27.know that person, you want to build a relationship. For the care
:14:28. > :14:32.providers, they are constantly having to find new staff and train
:14:33. > :14:36.them. That is an expensive business in a sector where money is tight. I
:14:37. > :14:42.was speaking to one care provider who told me how they had a bigger
:14:43. > :14:45.recruitment drive, spent ?28,000 on it, and got precisely five
:14:46. > :14:49.applicants. It underlines the difficulty. When they do train
:14:50. > :14:52.people in the hope it will keep them, they also find that they are

:22:13. > :22:15.Back on her feet, Margaret had a stroke just three weeks
:22:16. > :22:18.ago at the age of 50 - but she's benefited
:22:19. > :22:24.I was very, very lucky, because I probably should have
:22:25. > :22:29.You know, I could have been paralysed and taken months
:22:30. > :22:32.and months of therapy and everything else, rehab.
:22:33. > :22:40.Margret's doctors at this London hospital have led the way
:22:41. > :22:49.It's called thrombectomy and has a much higher success rate
:22:50. > :22:51.than conventional treatments using clot-busting drugs.
:22:52. > :22:54.Patients can be completely weak down one side and not have any speech,
:22:55. > :22:58.and as soon as you take the clot out, they can start talking to you
:22:59. > :23:03.Other times, it takes several hours or by the end
:23:04. > :23:05.of the evening or the next day, they can have recovered
:23:06. > :23:13.With thrombectomy, doctors use this incredibly delicate piece of wire
:23:14. > :23:17.to fish the clot out of a patient's brain.
:23:18. > :23:19.They sometimes use another piece of wire, like this
:23:20. > :23:24.8,000 patients across England will benefit from this treatment
:23:25. > :23:27.every year once the program is rolled out.
:23:28. > :23:30.Not all patients will have the treatment, as some strokes
:23:31. > :23:33.are caused by a bleed rather than a clot, and it will take time
:23:34. > :23:37.to train the doctors and nurses needed to expand services,
:23:38. > :23:40.but NHS England says it's making this investment because patients
:23:41. > :23:49.An inquest into the death of a woman who died after being restrained

:23:54. > :23:54.hearing from her husband about the circumstances
:23:55. > :24:03.34-year-old Alice Gibson-Watt had given birth to her first

:24:06. > :24:11.Daniela Relph is at West London Coroner's Court.
:24:12. > :24:19.Explain more about what the court has been hearing? Anthony Gibson
:24:20. > :24:23.Watt spoke movingly to the court about what he saw happen to his
:24:24. > :24:28.wife, he said Alice had seem enthralled by motherhood and wanted
:24:29. > :24:34.to be the best mother possible to the baby. About four weeks in she
:24:35. > :24:38.started to show signs of anxiety. He then described how one evening at
:24:39. > :24:43.their home in Fulham west London she dramatically became not of sound
:24:44. > :24:46.mind as he put it. He said it had been dramatically traumatic
:24:47. > :24:52.experience. He said his wife had been in bed and suddenly started and
:24:53. > :24:55.wailing and she started to crawl around the bedroom. She picked up
:24:56. > :25:00.their daughter and started shaking her believing their daughter was
:25:01. > :25:03.dead. He said it was a dramatic experience for him, she was
:25:04. > :25:07.eventually admitted to hospital and moved to a mental health unit but
:25:08. > :25:11.Chic suffered a cardiac arrest and an injury to her liver and died a
:25:12. > :25:14.few days later. He said he hoped to this in quest to get to the truth of
:25:15. > :25:26.her death. Thank you. The Ukip leader, Paul Nuttall,
:25:27. > :25:29.will set out his party's campaign for local elections in England,
:25:30. > :25:31.Scotland and Wales later today. Mr Nuttall, who last night met party

:25:48. > :25:49.and isn't now expected But critics complain
:25:50. > :25:53.it's devoid of policies, English woodland in
:25:54. > :26:01.its springtime glory. The report aspires for everyone
:26:02. > :26:10.to be able to enjoy nature. It admits to serious problems
:26:11. > :26:12.with the countryside. European farm policies have driven
:26:13. > :26:27.away birds, it says. Environmentalists welcome
:26:28. > :26:31.its vision, but say policies In fact, it's got no weight at all,
:26:32. > :26:37.and that is really disappointing given how long we have been waiting
:26:38. > :26:43.for it we still may have to wait before the Government
:26:44. > :26:44.tells us how it's going to achieve its noble ambition
:26:45. > :26:54.to have the environment in a better The report outlines vision of a
:26:55. > :26:58.beautiful land. Our water will be cleaner it says, our plans and
:26:59. > :26:59.wildlife will be healthier. Our seas will be cleaner. But where the
:27:00. > :27:01.policies? The document says that by far
:27:02. > :27:07.the best best place to plant new woodlands is near cities
:27:08. > :27:10.where people can enjoy them - eight times better than planting
:27:11. > :27:12.them in the countryside, So what is the policy
:27:13. > :27:25.recommendation to ministers? Brexit has made strategy much more
:27:26. > :27:29.complicated, the government 's environment Department is already
:27:30. > :27:32.struggling with another 25 year plan on farming. And farmers themselves
:27:33. > :27:39.are nervous about expanding woodland. There is no doubt if we
:27:40. > :27:42.were to turn a large tracts of land into forestry yes it would have a
:27:43. > :27:47.detrimental effect on our ability to produce high-quality affordable food
:27:48. > :27:51.for British public. Ministers are still promising to leave the
:27:52. > :27:52.environment better than the inherited it. Their critics want to
:27:53. > :27:57.see the proof. Now, have you watched a TV drama
:27:58. > :27:59.recently but given up, because you couldn't hear
:28:00. > :28:01.all the dialogue? There have been complaints
:28:02. > :28:03.from viewers about poor sound and mumbling in a number
:28:04. > :28:06.of programmes, including Jamaica Inn Our Media Correspondent David
:28:07. > :28:11.Sillito has been been to take part in an experiment
:28:12. > :28:13.at the Science Media Museum in Bradford, which assesses
:28:14. > :28:42.what viewers can and can't hear. TV sound, why has it become such an
:28:43. > :28:45.issue? We have conducted an experiment, two actors, one scene,
:28:46. > :28:51.different styles, modern and naturalistic and something more old
:28:52. > :28:56.school. Sort of, I am doing a little bit of unpaid work. I was not
:28:57. > :29:00.expecting to see you here, are you at college? What happens if you
:29:01. > :29:12.change the sound effects, the level of noise around us? And how about
:29:13. > :29:19.music? And the results?? Nobody could agree. Hearing is very
:29:20. > :29:25.subjective. Did you get any of it? Odd bits of it. Quickly this diction
:29:26. > :29:30.was the elevator. It is either too quickly spoken or they do not speak
:29:31. > :29:37.clear enough. I only had about three words which were not quite clear and
:29:38. > :29:44.I am 85 in May! I have been washing out my Laura Coles! Even amongst our
:29:45. > :29:51.group of teenagers have struggled. Some got every word. We tried
:29:52. > :29:56.different TV's. Most did not hear much difference at all but in a
:29:57. > :30:03.choice between modern flat screen and old-style TV it was the ?15
:30:04. > :30:09.second-hand TV which was the winner. That one. That one. Definitely that
:30:10. > :30:16.one. The biggest impact was not the background stand. It was when our
:30:17. > :30:20.actors went from this... MUMBLING. To this... Sort of. Doing a little
:30:21. > :30:27.unpaid work. It is higher than I would like. Watching the result is a
:30:28. > :30:31.professional sound recordist. I would say there is too much
:30:32. > :30:38.mumbling, I come across it an awful lot. On is go up to the director and
:30:39. > :30:42.say Governor, I am not sure what that person said and I am reading it
:30:43. > :30:48.from a script at the same time as I am recording it. But it is complex,
:30:49. > :30:49.what sound modern and natural to some is to others indecipherable.
:30:50. > :31:00.Can you make this out? MUMBLING. No! And we definitely want to hear
:31:01. > :31:12.the weather. Glorious sunshine, high cloud in the
:31:13. > :31:18.sky at Twickenham making the sunshine a bit on the hazy side, on
:31:19. > :31:22.the satellite picture you can see the extent, different story further
:31:23. > :31:29.north where in England's Northern Moorestown Berwick-upon-Tweed the
:31:30. > :31:33.skies look like this. Weather front going to be bringing wet weather
:31:34. > :31:38.today, this is going to be hardly moving at all, more rain coming
:31:39. > :31:45.across the Western Isles, into the Highlands where it is windy and over
:31:46. > :31:51.the tops of the Cairngorms gusts of 85 mph so very blowy with strong
:31:52. > :31:55.winds. England and Wales is a different story, breezy, quite a
:31:56. > :32:01.cool and fresh feel in the breeze but in the sunshine I think it feels
:32:02. > :32:05.pretty pleasant. Temperatures of the 16 degrees, Northern Ireland will
:32:06. > :32:08.brighten up, I think there will be an improvement in the weather in
:32:09. > :32:16.Shetland, the morning cloud and rain. Overnight tonight the weather
:32:17. > :32:20.front stays very slow-moving initially but then starts to move
:32:21. > :32:23.south, bringing the rain across Northern Ireland, pushing it into
:32:24. > :32:29.Cumbria and Lancashire towards the end of the night, to the south it is
:32:30. > :32:34.dry with clear spies, called in the countryside, temperatures could get
:32:35. > :32:38.low enough for frost in the coldest areas. Wednesday the front moves
:32:39. > :32:42.south taking the rain band across Northern England and Wales, by the
:32:43. > :32:47.time it reaches the Midlands barely anything left of it, many areas of
:32:48. > :32:54.eastern England will be dry, a lump of cloud working into the afternoon.
:32:55. > :32:58.16 degrees in London, fresh to the north and west, Thursday another
:32:59. > :33:02.quiet day coming up, cloud reticular across western areas and that could
:33:03. > :33:13.be thick enough an occasional shower turning cooler. Good Friday and on
:33:14. > :33:18.into the weekend and low pressure is in charge, westerly winds, no great
:33:19. > :33:22.change in temperature but there will be usable whether through Friday
:33:23. > :33:27.Saturday and Sunday, bright spells and a few passing showers, not write
:33:28. > :33:28.off but we could see a spell of brain working into Northern Ireland
:33:29. > :33:31.as we go into the latter of Sunday. A reminder of our main
:33:32. > :33:40.story this lunchtime: G-7 foreign ministers fail to reach
:33:41. > :33:41.an agreement on imposing new sanctions on Russia following the
:33:42. > :33:44.chemical attack in Syria. That's all from the BBC News at One
:33:45. > :33:47.- so it's goodbye from me - and on BBC One we now join the BBC's
:33:48. > :33:50.news teams where you are.
