:01:06. > :01:08.And the National Games begin in Sheffield for competitors

:01:09. > :01:17.Coming to these Games actually gives them a chance to express

:01:18. > :01:22.themselves and to really show, not about what they can't do,

:01:23. > :01:29.And coming up in the sport on BBC News:

:01:30. > :01:32.Near misses for Britain at the World Athletics Championships.

:01:33. > :02:06.BBC commentator Steve Backley says it's not going to plan.

:02:07. > :02:09.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:02:10. > :02:10.The organisers of the Athletics World Championships

:02:11. > :02:12.in London are working with Public Health England

:02:13. > :02:15.to try to contain an outbreak of gastroenteritis, which has

:02:16. > :02:16.affected 30 athletes and support staff.

:02:17. > :02:18.Botswana's Isaac Makwala, who was one of the favourites

:02:19. > :02:21.for today's 400 metres final, was forced to withdraw from the 200

:02:22. > :02:28.Let's go live now to the London Stadium and our sports

:02:29. > :02:42.Jane, you can imagine what it's like for these athletes. They train all

:02:43. > :02:45.year in order to peak at these major championships. This is the World

:02:46. > :02:49.Championships, it's absolutely right up there with the Olympics and for

:02:50. > :02:51.them to have to miss it because of something out of their control is

:02:52. > :02:56.obviously devastating. As you said, while those athletes was Issac

:02:57. > :03:00.Makwala, one of the favourites for a medal in both the 200 metres and the

:03:01. > :03:05.400 metres, he was forced, he says, to pull out of a 200 metres when he

:03:06. > :03:14.became sick yesterday and he told me this morning that he is heartbroken.

:03:15. > :03:20.It was supposed to be the start of his bid for world domination. Issac

:03:21. > :03:27.Makwala, he was aiming to double up in the 400 metre final tonight. But

:03:28. > :03:32.yesterday, he vomited before his 200 metre heat, seemingly a victim of

:03:33. > :03:37.the illness sweeping around the Tower hotel. Despite feeling OK,

:03:38. > :03:40.officials pulled out of the race as a precaution. Today he also feels

:03:41. > :03:47.fine but still has not been told if he's allowed to run in tonight 's

:03:48. > :03:53.final. His dream hangs in the balance. It's big. I feel

:03:54. > :03:59.heartbroken yesterday. I was ready for this. I worked hard for this. I

:04:00. > :04:06.was top of my game to come here. I was ready to make it possible. I

:04:07. > :04:15.came here for a medal. If some people force you to withdraw, I

:04:16. > :04:21.don't know, they could hang I'm OK to run but they might say no, I

:04:22. > :04:26.can't run. A bad thing. He's not the only one struck down at the worst

:04:27. > :04:29.possible time. The German team have been particularly affected. Four

:04:30. > :04:33.other athletes and several others in their support staff are taking ill

:04:34. > :04:39.before the weekend and many of athletes have now moved hotels. We

:04:40. > :04:42.understand the outbreak is isolated here, but the tower hotel released a

:04:43. > :04:45.statement concerning the hotel was not the source and went on to say

:04:46. > :04:49.that strict hygiene protocols have been put in place and that all

:04:50. > :04:55.public areas have been thoroughly sanitised. Gastroenteritis causes

:04:56. > :05:00.vomiting and diarrhoea and is usually caused by Mauro virus,

:05:01. > :05:04.believed to be the cause in these cases. It unpleasant, and easily

:05:05. > :05:08.spread, toxic combination for a hotel full of athletes. The

:05:09. > :05:12.important thing is if people have it, stay away from other people, so

:05:13. > :05:19.they're not at risk of passing it on. And to be very scrupulous about

:05:20. > :05:22.washing their hands when been to the toilet and vomited. The London

:05:23. > :05:26.organising committee say they are doing everything they can to get the

:05:27. > :05:29.illness in hand. In any event, when you have 20,000 people minimum

:05:30. > :05:34.coming in from every corner of the world, a possibility someone might

:05:35. > :05:37.come in with a bug. We've taken all the steps we needed to and we had

:05:38. > :05:43.the first indication that a member of the team had some symptoms as

:05:44. > :05:46.early as Friday. We were straight in with medical experts and Public

:05:47. > :05:50.Health England and they've been working with the teams at the hotel

:05:51. > :05:55.to make sure we have the right processes in place. The IAAF, the

:05:56. > :05:59.world governing body for athletics also released a statement saying

:06:00. > :06:03.they are also working with Public Health England to control this

:06:04. > :06:06.outbreak. They wouldn't comment individually on Issac Makwala's

:06:07. > :06:11.case, but we do know that one athlete from Ireland was forced to

:06:12. > :06:14.pull out of the 400 meter hurdles semifinals yesterday after coming

:06:15. > :06:19.down with a bug on Sunday. The British athletics camp say no one in

:06:20. > :06:22.their team has been affected and are saying they are staying in a

:06:23. > :06:24.different hotel but you can imagine the devastation for those athletes

:06:25. > :06:29.who have been affected by this at the worst possible time.

:06:30. > :06:31.Natalie, many thanks at the London stadium.

:06:32. > :06:34.The family of a seven-year-old autistic boy with a rare condition

:06:35. > :06:37.that puts him at risk of severe brain damage, has won a High Court

:06:38. > :06:39.challenge against a decision by the health service to refuse

:06:40. > :06:41.funding for a potentially life changing drug.

:06:42. > :06:44.NHS England had said the effectiveness of the drug,

:06:45. > :06:49.which would cost ?100 a day, hasn't been proved.

:06:50. > :06:51.Today a judge ruled that decision must be reconsidered.

:06:52. > :06:58.Our Legal Correspondent Clive Coleman is with me.

:06:59. > :07:08.It is quite a complicated case. Explain more about this. This little

:07:09. > :07:11.boy has a condition called PKU which means he can't metabolise protein.

:07:12. > :07:15.In fact, if he has more than 12 grams of protein a day he could

:07:16. > :07:20.suffer severe brain damage. On top of that, he is severely autistic and

:07:21. > :07:23.does not have speech or language, so managing his diet is incredibly

:07:24. > :07:30.difficult for his parents. His NHS consultant wanted to have a drug but

:07:31. > :07:34.it's a very expensive drug costing ?100 per day. NHS England turned

:07:35. > :07:39.that request down saying that it wasn't clinically effective or

:07:40. > :07:43.hadn't been proved. Today, Mrs Justice Andrew 's look at that

:07:44. > :07:48.position, dismissed the case on two grounds, but she did find that that

:07:49. > :07:53.decision was irrational. She said the clinical efficacy was beyond

:07:54. > :07:57.question. Is what that means there's NHS England will now have to go and

:07:58. > :08:01.look at that position again. It doesn't guarantee he will get this

:08:02. > :08:04.drug, there is very strong judgment behind him, is a good chance of that

:08:05. > :08:07.and NHS England have acknowledged the case failed on two grounds and

:08:08. > :08:10.they will look at this funding decision in his case again. Clive,

:08:11. > :08:13.thank you. Clive Coleman. Norfolk Police are running extra

:08:14. > :08:15.patrols in the village of East Harling, after an 83-year-old

:08:16. > :08:18.man was murdered at the weekend. He was stabbed in the head and neck,

:08:19. > :08:22.while walking his dogs in woodland. Our correspondent Adina Campbell

:08:23. > :08:35.reports from East Harling. The woodlands in East Harling,

:08:36. > :08:38.neither centre of a major centre. And 83 old man who had been walking

:08:39. > :08:44.his two dogs here was stabbed to death multiple times on Saturday

:08:45. > :08:48.morning. People are shocked and hurting because of the place where

:08:49. > :08:52.people go to enjoy their own leisure time with their families. The

:08:53. > :08:56.pensioner 's body was discovered near the five ways junction by a

:08:57. > :09:03.member of the public. The woodlands here in East Harling is a popular

:09:04. > :09:05.part of Norfolk, used by walkers, runners and bike trails. His body

:09:06. > :09:09.was found just over there where police have set up their forensic

:09:10. > :09:14.tent. He had been repeatedly stabbed in the neck and head. The pensioner

:09:15. > :09:18.is described as a family man from the East Harling area. Three days

:09:19. > :09:24.on, police are continuing their murder investigation and say the

:09:25. > :09:29.motive is still unclear. People will be shocked in relation to this and

:09:30. > :09:34.anybody shocked of this brutal murder, we have got our major

:09:35. > :09:40.investigation team investigating this matter, we have visible police

:09:41. > :09:44.at the scene. Police are now urging people who use these for paths to

:09:45. > :09:47.get in touch. Particularly if they were in this area and saw some

:09:48. > :09:52.unusual activity on Saturday morning. Uniformed officers remain

:09:53. > :09:55.at the scene. And local police patrols have also now increased.

:09:56. > :09:57.Adina Campbell, BBC News. More than 40% of maternity wards

:09:58. > :10:00.in England closed their doors to expectant mothers at least once

:10:01. > :10:02.last year according to data 42 out of 96 trusts in England

:10:03. > :10:09.which responded to a Freedom of Information request said they'd

:10:10. > :10:11.shut maternity wards temporarily, Labour has blamed staffing

:10:12. > :10:19.shortagesbut the government says closures are well

:10:20. > :10:23.rehearsed safety measures. Our Health Correspondent

:10:24. > :10:27.Dominic Hughes reports. Midwives provide specialist care

:10:28. > :10:30.to some of the health service's most But a shortage of staff,

:10:31. > :10:35.combined with a rising birth rate, Andrew Canter campaigns

:10:36. > :10:41.for improved maternity services. He and his wife lost a baby

:10:42. > :10:44.when their local centre was closed. You're in a situation when you been

:10:45. > :10:52.looking forward to the birth of your child for nine or ten

:10:53. > :10:55.months, and that is really So it takes a long time to get back

:10:56. > :11:01.on track and the ramifications are that it goes right

:11:02. > :11:04.across the family, whether it's the parents or grandparents,

:11:05. > :11:06.brothers or sisters, In England, 136 NHS Trusts

:11:07. > :11:13.offer maternity services. Last year, 42 of them

:11:14. > :11:16.closed their doors to There were 382 separate

:11:17. > :11:21.occasions where units The truth is, you cannot keep trying

:11:22. > :11:29.to run the NHS on a shoestring, putting them through the biggest

:11:30. > :11:33.financial squeeze in its history, and not expect

:11:34. > :11:37.standards of care to slip. The Royal College of Midwives said

:11:38. > :11:40.sometimes it is right to close a unit, but that doing

:11:41. > :11:46.so on a regular basis is the sign It's very rare for maternity units

:11:47. > :11:53.to be closed, and the fact that we have seen a 70% increase

:11:54. > :11:58.in how often that is happening, I think should give us cause

:11:59. > :12:04.for serious concern. More midwives are being trained,

:12:05. > :12:07.and the Department of Health says hospitals need to use temporary

:12:08. > :12:10.closures to manage peaks in admissions, but it is misleading

:12:11. > :12:13.to use these figures to indicate a shortage of staff,

:12:14. > :12:16.because of the difficulties around Students in Scotland have been

:12:17. > :12:29.receiving their long-awaited exam There has been a slight fall

:12:30. > :12:32.in the number of passes 77% achieved grades A-to-C,

:12:33. > :12:37.down very slightly on last year. More than a third of students signed

:12:38. > :12:41.up to an email or text alert to get their results,

:12:42. > :12:44.rather than waiting for the post. Our Scotland Correspondent

:12:45. > :12:48.Lorna Gordon reports. After all the hard work,

:12:49. > :12:52.the wait is over for these pupils at the Eastbank Academy in Glasgow,

:12:53. > :12:55.as they find out how they have I got the results I needed

:12:56. > :13:00.so that's really good. I got one A, two Bs and Cs,

:13:01. > :13:08.I know I know I lost maths I happy with that and I can

:13:09. > :13:13.come back and take maths I failed maths but I was

:13:14. > :13:17.expecting that so I'm OK. I got an A in Classics,

:13:18. > :13:20.how did that happen? Across Scotland, the pass rate this

:13:21. > :13:24.year in the higher exams sat by 16 and 17-year-olds,

:13:25. > :13:28.was broadly in line with last year. There was, though, is a significant

:13:29. > :13:31.drop in the number of candidates entered for National four exams,

:13:32. > :13:35.down from 123,000 It was all good news for these

:13:36. > :13:42.pupils but the Scottish education Exam results don't themselves

:13:43. > :13:52.telephone much about the standards Exam results don't themselves tell

:13:53. > :13:55.us much about the standards To do that, we need to look

:13:56. > :13:59.at international evidence, standards of literacy of declining

:14:00. > :14:01.in Scotland, and numeracy also. And in some respects,

:14:02. > :14:03.more worryingly, inequality of attainment is getting worse

:14:04. > :14:05.in Scotland, especially compared The Scottish Government has made

:14:06. > :14:08.closing the attainment gap between pupils from richer

:14:09. > :14:11.and poorer backgrounds a priority. This school has spent the money

:14:12. > :14:16.they have received on trying to increase the proportion of pupils

:14:17. > :14:19.who passed their Highers. And then go on to further

:14:20. > :14:24.or higher education. The Scottish Education Secretary,

:14:25. > :14:26.today meeting other students getting their results,

:14:27. > :14:29.said the government had a relentless To these results give us enormous

:14:30. > :14:35.confidence about the strengths that The investment we are making

:14:36. > :14:42.in people equity funding, which is supporting the measures

:14:43. > :14:45.that are designed to close the attainment gap in Scottish

:14:46. > :14:48.education, will be a fruit For now, the aim for many,

:14:49. > :15:12.to celebrate their results Has it all been plain sailing and

:15:13. > :15:15.gone according to plan? Not quite. A few candidates have faith and

:15:16. > :15:20.challenges finding out how they've done. As of 10am they said 90% of

:15:21. > :15:24.those who registered to receive their results by texted found out

:15:25. > :15:28.what their results were and 33,000 had been delivered but for the boat

:15:29. > :15:31.had still to get through. They say they understand people are probably

:15:32. > :15:34.pretty stressed and apologise and say everyone will get their

:15:35. > :15:38.certificate through the post by the end of the day. As to those who

:15:39. > :15:44.already know if they have done better or worse than expected, well

:21:29. > :21:32.BEEN HAPPENING? A couple of hours to go before they close. Still queues

:21:33. > :21:36.of people. A big turnout, we think, and so far everything has gone very

:21:37. > :21:39.well. The key thing has been about the system of voting, it's a

:21:40. > :21:43.electronic, the first time this has been rolled out to this extent and

:21:44. > :21:49.seeds to be working so far. People put some down or show their IDs,

:21:56. > :22:01.thing for success in this election is that that system to work and for

:22:13. > :22:16.is very close its the latter of which of them takes that defeat

:22:17. > :22:18.well. Whoever loses, if they stay back and say, yes let's bring this

:22:19. > :22:23.country together, things will go well. If they don't, that is where

:22:24. > :22:27.the questions live. That is why people here are afraid, because

:23:32. > :23:39.It does seem that Google fired him pretty quickly? I think it became

:23:59. > :24:03.have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is

:24:15. > :24:16.are reporting cancer later than other ethnic groups,

:24:46. > :24:50.strict Indian community where even talking about the disease was

:24:51. > :24:55.something shameful. I didn't tell them, because I just thought if

:24:56. > :25:00.people hear the fact I've got cancer, they're going to think it's

:25:01. > :25:03.a death sentence. Maybe I lead a balanced life, therefore God has

:25:04. > :25:09.punished me, and so hiding it was the obvious choice. This researcher

:25:10. > :25:13.has spent the previous years looking at attitudes towards cancer in the

:25:14. > :25:17.South Asian community. They would hide the shame, in their

:25:18. > :25:22.eyes, of having a cancer diagnosis, because they felt it would influence

:25:23. > :25:26.their children's future. Also about the influence from males and elders

:25:27. > :25:30.in the family and if they didn't think will and should be going for

:25:31. > :25:35.screening, they wouldn't go. The reluctance to go for a sneer, it's

:25:36. > :25:39.like you don't want to be defiled. The husband, it's like you're being

:25:40. > :25:46.unfaithful to them. It's like infidelity. If you research projects

:25:47. > :25:48.Abingdon in this area show South Asian women have reduced survival

:25:49. > :25:51.rate and are more likely to go to the doctors when their tumours are

:25:52. > :25:59.advanced. Because of the ignorance of not

:26:00. > :26:01.presenting early, not going through the screening programme not

:26:02. > :26:09.examining their breasts, they are presenting late and this reminds me

:26:10. > :26:12.of a woman who came to see us. Her breast was smelling so much you

:26:13. > :26:17.couldn't even sit next to her. I don't know how long she was hiding

:26:18. > :26:25.that. She had literally left it that long? What happened to her? And

:26:26. > :26:28.fortunately she died. You see? Because the cancer had spread.

:26:29. > :26:32.Charities and local authorities have been trying to help the South Asian

:26:33. > :26:36.community addressed this issue, but many feel it such a deep rooted

:26:37. > :26:42.cultural stigma that it will not be easy to change attitudes stop here

:26:43. > :26:45.on from the medical profession and I know these things, and yet I still

:26:46. > :26:52.felt I had to hide it from everybody else. That's down to my upbringing.

:26:53. > :27:00.That's down to the baggage, and I consider it baggage, that I carry.

:27:07. > :27:11.We have been talking about the world athletics Championships in London.

:27:12. > :27:15.There is another sporting event going on.

:27:22. > :27:24.It's estimated that one and a half million people

:27:25. > :27:26.across Britain live with some form of intellectual disability -

:27:27. > :27:29.but sporting provision for them faces major funding challenges,

:27:30. > :27:35.as our sports correspondent Joe Wilson reports.

:27:36. > :27:45.In Sheffield this week there is sport everywhere. The National games

:27:46. > :27:47.of the Special Olympics, 20 disciplines, two and a half thousand

:27:48. > :27:51.competitors and what links the lives they love sport. What links them all

:27:52. > :27:58.if they have a learning disability, and that can make life a daily

:27:59. > :28:02.challenge. Getting like around, travelling and stuff like that and

:28:03. > :28:07.everybody being nasty to Lee, bullying me, stuff like that. That

:28:08. > :28:13.happen to you? Yes, it does. Doesn't happen here, doing the sport? Know,

:28:14. > :28:15.everybody is the same. A lot of people with intellectual

:28:16. > :28:20.disabilities, they feel they're being left out from the community

:28:21. > :28:23.and from the exclusion. Where is coming to these games gives them a

:28:24. > :28:28.chance to express themselves and to really show not about what they

:28:29. > :28:34.can't do, but about what they can do and more.

:28:35. > :28:42.To stage all this board takes money and for the first time this national

:28:43. > :28:45.games of the Special Olympics has received direct treasury funding, ?2

:28:46. > :28:49.million from the government. But when the event starts at the

:28:50. > :28:54.weekend, so does that cash. We're hoping that this event will

:28:55. > :28:57.just show what the benefit of supporting Special Olympics by the

:28:58. > :29:02.government is. The Olympic movement was about friendship, was about

:29:03. > :29:09.camaraderie, was about achieving to one's best, so perhaps that has got

:29:10. > :29:14.lost. That's what you get here in Sheffield? Yes, yeah, yeah.

:29:15. > :29:17.Participation is everything. To date competitors are classified so they

:29:18. > :29:22.can be matched against others of the similar standards later this week,

:29:23. > :29:28.but each local club has had to raise some ?400 for each competitor just

:30:00. > :30:03.that's where he's gone since he was five or six. Even that is now

:30:04. > :30:09.struggling for funding. While Sheffield United's up the opening --

:30:18. > :30:21.put the spotlight on them, give them their chance and everybody deserves

:30:22. > :30:25.a chance. That's just what this is about. That spirit defeats the

:30:26. > :30:30.weather in this city but it can't overcome a lack of funds and as this

:30:31. > :30:33.national games begins there is no certainty where or if there will be

:30:37. > :30:38.Police in south west London are asking for help to identify

:31:00. > :31:04.The bus stopped and passengers went to help the woman,

:31:05. > :31:15.Time for a look at the weather...

:31:16. > :31:34.That is the Yorkshire coast. Rain is not the whole story this week that a

:31:35. > :31:37.big part of the story. You can see from the radar picture, what a soggy

:31:38. > :31:41.day so far in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and in the Midlands. We

:31:42. > :31:44.have started the season heavy showers across parts of East Anglia

:31:45. > :31:49.and the south-east. Also towards the south-west. These were the shower

:31:50. > :31:53.clouds beginning to build in North Devon a little earlier on this

:31:54. > :31:57.morning. As we go through the rest of the day, across England and Wales

:31:58. > :32:00.generally quite cloudy, some outbreaks of rain and heavy

:32:01. > :32:05.downpours in places. The driest of the weather and the brightest of the

:32:06. > :32:10.weather today will be across Scotland and Northern Ireland. A few

:32:11. > :32:14.showers but plenty of sunshine, 18-19d. North-east England on the

:32:15. > :32:23.Midlands, look at the temperatures, just 13 or 14 degrees this

:32:24. > :32:25.afternoon. A bit warmer that East Anglia and the south-east but these

:32:26. > :32:27.heavy downpours could give some poor travelling conditions and perhaps

:32:28. > :32:29.flash flooding and hefty showers continuing in Wales on the

:32:30. > :32:34.south-west, but with some glimpses of blue sky and Sanchon in between.

:32:35. > :32:37.A lot going on through the rush hour and into the night. These clumps of

:32:38. > :32:41.wet weather with some thunder and lightning at times continue to

:32:42. > :32:44.circulate around the Northern Ireland and Scotland largely dry

:32:45. > :32:49.with clear spells and temperatures a little chilly in the north, staying

:32:50. > :32:53.fairly mild further south. Two halves to weather story tomorrow.

:32:54. > :32:57.Low-pressure hanging around towards the east and south-east. More rain

:32:58. > :33:01.to come here but more high-pressure toppling in from the West. That

:33:02. > :33:04.means for Northern Ireland and Scotland, increasingly northern

:33:05. > :33:09.England and West Wales, some better weather prospects tomorrow. Not so

:33:10. > :33:14.further south and east. This band of wet weather is sinking very slowly

:33:15. > :33:18.southwards and eastwards. Some heavy rain moving slowly enough it could

:33:19. > :33:22.cause some big problems, travel disruption, maybe some issues with

:33:23. > :33:26.flooding. On Thursday, the last of that rain still hanging on across

:33:27. > :33:30.the south-east. The area of high pressure builds further across the

:33:31. > :33:33.country, so many places fine and dry on Thursday. However, the end of the

:33:34. > :33:37.week brings this frontal system from the West. It will bring some

:33:38. > :33:42.outbreaks of rain, heavy in the West, lighter and more patchy in the

:33:43. > :33:47.south-east. Quite windy with gales in the far north-west, 16-20d, but

:33:48. > :33:53.the weekend, a little bit of hope because it looks things will turn

:33:54. > :33:57.dry with some sunny spells. Goodness, I hope so! Thank you. That

:33:58. > :33:58.is all from us for now. On
