0:01:39 > 0:01:45Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47There's a warning that vulnerable young women
0:01:47 > 0:01:51are being abused across the UK - and that the extent of the crimes
0:01:51 > 0:01:52isn't yet recognised.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54A serious case review has been published following
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Operation Sanctuary, which saw 18 people convicted
0:01:56 > 0:02:04for exploiting girls in Newcastle over a three-year period.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08While today's report says police and the council dealt
0:02:08 > 0:02:10with that situation well, it's calling on the Government
0:02:10 > 0:02:12to address the issue of adult vulnerability
0:02:12 > 0:02:13as a matter of urgency.
0:02:13 > 0:02:20Our correspondent Fiona Trott is in Newcastle.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Today the victims of that sexual exploitation in Newcastle received
0:02:24 > 0:02:29an apology. The expert involved in the review thanked them for coming
0:02:29 > 0:02:33forward and said they were profoundly sorry for what the girls
0:02:33 > 0:02:36and women had suffered, and the fact that women were involved in that
0:02:36 > 0:02:41abuse has raised a new concern to date. The report authors say the
0:02:41 > 0:02:46extensive abuse of adults will be happening across the UK but it is
0:02:46 > 0:02:50going unnoticed. It is one of the key issues raised as part of
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Operation Sanctuary.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58A city coming to terms with Sanctuary. The investigation may be
0:02:58 > 0:03:01over but the report says sexual exploitation still exists, and the
0:03:01 > 0:03:06police know it. It is white takeaway staff across this city are being
0:03:06 > 0:03:11trained on how to spot potential victims. Today, a warning to all
0:03:11 > 0:03:15towns and cities across the UK, the safeguarding of vulnerable adults
0:03:15 > 0:03:20needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency.It was a specific feature
0:03:20 > 0:03:25of the Newcastle experience that it was not just children who were
0:03:25 > 0:03:29victims of sexual exploitation. What I would like the Government to do is
0:03:29 > 0:03:33have a really good look at the learning that is now available about
0:03:33 > 0:03:38abuse of adults with vulnerabilities.On the streets,
0:03:38 > 0:03:42victims were groomed by men mostly from Pakistani, Indian and
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Bangladeshi backgrounds. They were given so many drugs and alcohol they
0:03:45 > 0:03:49could not defend themselves against sexual abuse. Their experiences are
0:03:49 > 0:03:54included in the report.I started seeing younger girls there being
0:03:54 > 0:03:59raped. Schoolgirls in uniform with their schoolbags coming from school.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04I went constantly for the morning after pill, to different places.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Vanessa, not her real name, was a victim of sexual exploitation. To
0:04:09 > 0:04:13protect her identity we have used an actor's boys.I will see girls
0:04:13 > 0:04:17begging on the street and a normal man wearing a suit approaches them
0:04:17 > 0:04:23for sex. I see that all the time. The report says sexual exploitation
0:04:23 > 0:04:26still exists, charities on the ground tell us 14-year-old girls are
0:04:26 > 0:04:31still being picked up by men in cars.Are you doing enough? We stop
0:04:31 > 0:04:35it with the assistance of the public so the first question to the people
0:04:35 > 0:04:39who have seen that, did they reported to the police? Did they
0:04:39 > 0:04:42take the registration, get details of the people? I would like to think
0:04:42 > 0:04:49they are reporting it to us. It would be naive and wrong for me to
0:04:49 > 0:04:52suggest that because of Sanctuary, and at the point the report is
0:04:52 > 0:04:58published, that this is dropped and that we have solved the problem. We
0:04:58 > 0:05:02haven't. It continues, it carries on, I would suggest, in most if not
0:05:02 > 0:05:08all towns and cities in the UK.And that is why today's report said all
0:05:08 > 0:05:11towns and cities should automatically assume sexual
0:05:11 > 0:05:14exploitation is happening on their doorstep. Only then can it be
0:05:14 > 0:05:18tackled properly.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22The report is also recommending today that research is carried out
0:05:22 > 0:05:25into perpetrators' backgrounds, their cultural backgrounds, because
0:05:25 > 0:05:30the report author, David Spicer, went to visit one of the
0:05:30 > 0:05:33perpetrators in prison and spoke about a lack of morals in British
0:05:33 > 0:05:38girls. A Government spokesman has said it will now look carefully at
0:05:38 > 0:05:41the recommendations of today's report.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Fiona Trott, thank you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Mistakes when patients are prescribed or administered drugs
0:05:47 > 0:05:50could be the cause of 1700 deaths a year in England,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52and contribute to thousands more.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53A report commissioned by ministers says GPs, pharmacists,
0:05:53 > 0:05:59hospitals and care homes could be making millions of errors a year.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt says the system around medciation
0:06:02 > 0:06:04has to be modernised, but he's acknowledged that staffing
0:06:04 > 0:06:08pressures are also a factor.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Here's our health editor, Hugh Pym.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13The report covers mistakes made in the prescribing,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16dispensing and administering of medication in England.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18These could involve GPs, pharmacists, care
0:06:18 > 0:06:20homes and hospitals.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25The research is said to be one of the first exercises of its kind.
0:06:25 > 0:06:32It found that medication errors could cause around 1700 deaths
0:06:32 > 0:06:35a year, and perhaps contribute to up to 22,000 deaths.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38The cost to the NHS could be around £1.6 billion a year.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It does note that the vast majority of prescriptions dispensed
0:06:41 > 0:06:45in the NHS are safe, and mistakes do occur
0:06:45 > 0:06:46in all health care systems.
0:06:46 > 0:06:54Shirley was admitted to hospital last week with pneumonia.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57While she was there she was mistakenly given double the dose
0:06:57 > 0:06:58of her regular epilepsy medication.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01It was only spotted by her husband after her condition got worse.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03She was hallucinating, she didn't know where she was.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I mean, she doesn't remember what happened now, even today she's
0:07:06 > 0:07:08still not clear on what happened, her memory's still coming back
0:07:08 > 0:07:16and she's still very modelled from it all.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23-- muddled from it all.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And I think it really upset my grandad as well to see,
0:07:26 > 0:07:27it was quite scary.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29The Health and Social Care Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32said it was a far bigger problem globally than had so far been
0:07:32 > 0:07:34recognised, causing appalling levels of harm and death.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37This is not about blaming doctors, nurses, pharmacists who work under
0:07:37 > 0:07:39a huge amount of pressure, but it's about putting checks
0:07:39 > 0:07:41and balances in place with e-prescribing systems
0:07:41 > 0:07:45and making sure the culture is right so that if someone does make
0:07:45 > 0:07:48a mistake they're not criminalised for it, but we can actually
0:07:48 > 0:07:50learn from that mistake and stop it being repeated.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Health unions said it was right to try to reduce mistakes,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57but said understaffing and pressure of work was the real problem.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00One of our real concerns is that when we've got a time,
0:08:00 > 0:08:02which we have at the moment, when there's not enough staff,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05that people are working not always in the area that they're most
0:08:05 > 0:08:07experienced, not with the same people every day, not always
0:08:07 > 0:08:10knowing the patients - that is fraught with danger
0:08:10 > 0:08:12in terms of safety.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15The best thing is to have the right knowledge, the right skills,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17the right number of people knowing your patient and actually
0:08:17 > 0:08:21knowing what you're doing.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23The National Pharmacy Association said it welcomed the focus
0:08:23 > 0:08:26on reducing medication errors, but stressed that a culture
0:08:26 > 0:08:29of learning rather than blame was needed.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Hugh Pym, BBC News.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36European Union leaders are meeting in Brussels,
0:08:36 > 0:08:37without Theresa May, to discuss the EU's
0:08:37 > 0:08:44future after Brexit.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Here, senior Cabinet ministers say there was 'outbreak of unity'
0:08:47 > 0:08:49at yesterday's crucial meeting to discuss the UK's next steps.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52The Prime Minister will give more details in a speech next week.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Our Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas is at the EU
0:08:54 > 0:09:00summit in Brussels.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Yes, it has been a busy day already here so far for EU leaders. They
0:09:05 > 0:09:07have had one meeting already this morning with North African
0:09:07 > 0:09:11countries, then they came across the road and are now in discussions
0:09:11 > 0:09:15about some of those issues the EU will face after the UK leads, but of
0:09:15 > 0:09:18course they are all waiting to hear the outcome of those deliberations
0:09:18 > 0:09:24at Chequers last night. The president of the commission,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Jean-Claude Juncker, said to me he would not comment until he has seen
0:09:27 > 0:09:30the detail of what the UK has agreed.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35In Brussels, a busy day of summits, a crush of presidents and prime
0:09:35 > 0:09:41ministers in town. An unusual sight, the EU's top leaders walking from
0:09:41 > 0:09:46one meeting to the next, but no UK leader. The day after Theresa May
0:09:46 > 0:09:50and her cabinet thrashed out that approach to future ties, the EU
0:09:50 > 0:09:54leaders are still waiting to hear what the UK wants. But with this
0:09:54 > 0:09:58warning...It is not possible to be aligned to the European Union when
0:09:58 > 0:10:03it suits and not when it doesn't, that is not possible. So I think the
0:10:03 > 0:10:06United Kingdom really needs to square that circle and it doesn't
0:10:06 > 0:10:09appear to me that circle has yet been squared but hopefully when the
0:10:09 > 0:10:15Prime Minister speaks next week the United Kingdom will be more clear
0:10:15 > 0:10:18about what it wants in terms of the new relationship, and will back that
0:10:18 > 0:10:24up with real detail.At today's meeting the EU's 27 leaders are
0:10:24 > 0:10:29starting to tackle some of the tricky issues the UK's exit from the
0:10:29 > 0:10:34union creates. The most contentious, the hole left in the EU budget. At
0:10:34 > 0:10:38least 10 billion new rosy year, roughly 10% of current spending. So
0:10:38 > 0:10:46the dilemma, will some countries pay more or will some receive less? And
0:10:53 > 0:10:56what to do about the UK's seats in the European Parliament? 73 UK MEPs
0:10:56 > 0:10:59will go, seats will be cut and some we distributed to other countries.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01But it is the money that will provoke the biggest arguments. Some
0:11:01 > 0:11:04don't want to see their payments go up, Denmark is one.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Is your country prepared to pay more after Brexit?Know, if I should keep
0:11:06 > 0:11:09my answer short I should say no. Britain leaving the EU will not make
0:11:09 > 0:11:14any of us staying richer so I think we should stay to the idea of
0:11:14 > 0:11:18putting a limit or cap on our budget.Others, like Romania, don't
0:11:18 > 0:11:20want to see what they receive go down.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24There was a hole in the budget, issue country prepared to accept
0:11:24 > 0:11:30less and see cuts to spending?You know, if you listen to politicians
0:11:30 > 0:11:34there is usually a hole in the budget but finally things are
0:11:34 > 0:11:39financed so if we want to finance more, we have to pay more, it is
0:11:39 > 0:11:42very simple. So this is just the start of the arguments Brexit could
0:11:42 > 0:11:47trigger among EU countries.The difficulties among themselves don't
0:11:47 > 0:11:53for now mean any divisions in their approach to negotiating with the UK.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58And of course the EU countries are keen to hear the outcome of the
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Cabinet deliberations because those will have a very important impact on
0:12:02 > 0:12:05the discussions, the negotiations, going forward. But if the
0:12:05 > 0:12:09indications from what we are hearing about what the Cabinet may have
0:12:09 > 0:12:12agreed right, that the UK wants a trade deal and are negotiating
0:12:12 > 0:12:17better access on top of that, well, the EU has already been very cold
0:12:17 > 0:12:21about that idea, so that could be something that is difficult to
0:12:21 > 0:12:32achieve. It leaves open the
0:12:33 > 0:12:34achieve. It leaves open the question of what would happen in Ireland and
0:12:34 > 0:12:36to the border there, that is still unresolved as well, and unclear.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Very interesting, thank you, Damien grammatical is in Brussels.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Let's talk about that with our political correspondent, Iain
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Watson. What is this sense of what the Cabinet is thinking and saying?
0:12:43 > 0:12:48And interesting juncture in all of this? In a sense we are a week or
0:12:48 > 0:12:51two early because this time next week the Prime Minister will be
0:12:51 > 0:12:54setting out her vision for our future relationship with the
0:12:54 > 0:12:58European Union, her big speech, but as I understand it what emerged from
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Chequers yesterday from eight hours of discussions that the Cabinet's
0:13:02 > 0:13:10subcommittee on Brexit decided by and large have signed up
0:13:14 > 0:13:15and large have signed up to a recognition. What does that mean? It
0:13:15 > 0:13:18means a swathe of areas, proposals for the Government where we draw our
0:13:18 > 0:13:20own rules and regulations after Brexit and because they will be at
0:13:20 > 0:13:23the same level or higher than the EU then the Government believes trade
0:13:23 > 0:13:26could continue unimpeded. As we heard, though, from Damien, the EU
0:13:26 > 0:13:29may take a different view when the negotiations get under way. Another
0:13:29 > 0:13:33potential spanner that might be put in the Prime Minister's works
0:13:33 > 0:13:37because to have a new customs arrangement, for example, that would
0:13:37 > 0:13:41affect the Irish border, she needs to get her legislation through
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Parliament and some people in her own ranks, some Tory rebels, are
0:13:45 > 0:13:55trying to
0:14:03 > 0:14:06change that legislation to commit the Government to staying in a
0:14:06 > 0:14:08customs union with the EU, something Theresa May does not want to do.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Meanwhile, Labour seem to be changing their position, more
0:14:10 > 0:14:12sympathetic to staying in a customs union long-term. They could side
0:14:12 > 0:14:14with those Tory rebels in the weeks ahead and potentially inflict defeat
0:14:14 > 0:14:17on the Government. Thank you, for now, Iain Watson, at Westminster.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21An armed policeman in Florida has resigned from his job after a video
0:14:21 > 0:14:23showed him standing outside the school where 17 people were shot
0:14:23 > 0:14:25dead by a former pupil last week.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Scott Peterson arrived 90 seconds after the attack began -
0:14:27 > 0:14:29but didn't go inside immediately to confront the gunman.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Charlotte Gallagher reports.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35There was chaos as pupils ran to escape a gunman indiscriminately
0:14:35 > 0:14:38shooting teachers and students with an assault rifle.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41The school's football coach, who was shot dead, has been hailed
0:14:41 > 0:14:44a hero for throwing himself in front of a child to protect them.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Now it's emerged that an armed police officer was at the high
0:14:47 > 0:14:55school but stood outside as the shooting took place.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Deputy Scot Peterson has resigned after being suspended.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02The area's sheriff said Peterson should have acted.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Scot Peterson was absolutely on-campus through this entire event.
0:15:04 > 0:15:10He was armed, he was in uniform.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14But what I saw was a deputy arrive at the west side of building 12,
0:15:14 > 0:15:20take up a position,
0:15:20 > 0:15:28and he never went in.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32As the funerals take place of the 17 victims of the shootings,
0:15:32 > 0:15:39a fierce debate is raging about how to stop another school massacre.
0:15:39 > 0:15:45President Trump has suggested arming teachers.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I think a concealed permit for having teachers,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49and letting people know that there are people
0:15:49 > 0:15:52in the building with a gun, you won't have, in my opinion,
0:15:52 > 0:15:57you won't have these shootings, because these people are cowards.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00His suggestion has been condemned by many teachers,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03who say the only way to stop shootings in schools is to have
0:16:03 > 0:16:04fewer guns, not more.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Charlotte Gallacher, BBC News.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12A fourth British tourist has died as a result of the helicopter crash
0:16:12 > 0:16:13in the Grand Canyon nearly a fortnight ago.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Jonathan Udall, who was in his 30s and from Brighton, was on honeymoon.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19His wife, Ellie Milward remains in a critical condition in hospital,
0:16:19 > 0:16:27along with another British woman and the helicopter pilot.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Royal Bank of Scotland,
0:16:36 > 0:16:41which is majority-owned by taxpayers,
0:16:41 > 0:16:47has recorded an annual profit for the first time in a decade.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49The bank made £752 million in 2017, compared with a loss
0:16:49 > 0:16:51of almost 7 billion the year before.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53The bank's Chief Executive says it's a really symbolic moment.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed is with me.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Sounds positive, what do we read into this? It is symbolic and good
0:16:58 > 0:17:02that a bank we have a stake in has made a profit for the first time in
0:17:02 > 0:17:05ten years, this was a big global whiskey bank.
0:17:05 > 0:17:11But it has trained up its act to an extent and sold a lot of foreign
0:17:11 > 0:17:16businesses, now mostly focused on the UK and Republic of Ireland, now
0:17:16 > 0:17:22still there are big risks. Facing fines in America for involvement in
0:17:22 > 0:17:26the mortgage crisis, money to pay to compensate small businesses here,
0:17:26 > 0:17:31and the big question is, when will the taxpayer get our money back, for
0:17:31 > 0:17:35all of that money that we put into the bank when it nearly went bust in
0:17:35 > 0:17:432008. A little bit earlier today I spoke with the Chief Executive Ross
0:17:43 > 0:17:43McKinnon
0:17:43 > 0:17:46and put that question straight to him. Yes they have put in 45 billion
0:17:46 > 0:17:51but we are going to put in as much so that we can get as much back for
0:17:51 > 0:17:54the taxpayer as we possibly can. This bank is a really good bang for
0:17:54 > 0:18:00the UK, and how much money the government gets back will depend
0:18:00 > 0:18:04upon the market at the time.It could be years and years?It could
0:18:04 > 0:18:09be, and when you are selling 70% of a business, it will take a number of
0:18:09 > 0:18:11years to come through.-- Ross McEwan.The government itself has
0:18:11 > 0:18:17said they want to start that process in the fiscal year 2018/19, it will
0:18:17 > 0:18:20take three to five years for them to get down to a much smaller
0:18:20 > 0:18:26percentage.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29percentage.So, better news today, still lots of risks, and a long time
0:18:29 > 0:18:33until we get our money back.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Our top story this lunchtime.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41A report warns extensive abuse of vulnerable women is still going
0:18:41 > 0:18:46unrecognised across the UK - and needs to be urgently addressed.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Still to come: a new warning about tooth erosion, experts say it is not
0:18:51 > 0:18:56just what we eat but how and when we eat.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01In sport, the draw has been made for the last 16 of the Europa League,
0:19:01 > 0:19:13the Arsenal have a difficult tie, taking on Italian giants AC Milan.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17The UN Security Council will consider calls later today
0:19:17 > 0:19:19for a nationwide ceasefire in Syria
0:19:19 > 0:19:21to allow for badly needed humanitarian aid deliveries.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23There were more air strikes this morning targeting the rebel held
0:19:23 > 0:19:25area of eastern Ghouta, near Damascus,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27which has been under heavy bombardment since Sunday.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29More than 400 people are reported to have been killed.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51Another frantic search for survivors. An air strike has just

0:20:00 > 0:20:08burning building. But a woman is trapped inside. They are struggling
0:20:08 > 0:20:17to find her. Come down, come down, they are shouting... They find her.
0:20:19 > 0:20:28In another home, another rescue. But for the dead, there is no peace
0:20:28 > 0:20:29here. EXPLOSIONS
0:20:35 > 0:20:44Even those burying a victim are running for cover.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47More than a million Syrians have fled over the mountains, into
0:20:47 > 0:20:55neighbouring Lebanon. We spoke to one couple from Eastern Ghouta. He
0:20:55 > 0:20:59and his wife did not want their faces shown, fearing reprisals from
0:20:59 > 0:21:04the Syrian government.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08TRANSLATION:I last spoke to my cousin three days ago, it was
0:21:08 > 0:21:14terrible, he told me that they were waiting to die. He asked me to for
0:21:14 > 0:21:18give him, if I never heard from him again. His little boy was killed, he
0:21:18 > 0:21:26was just three and a half. I have not heard from my cousin since.He
0:21:26 > 0:21:29plays me the last message he got from his cousin.

0:21:46 > 0:21:54The value of the company that runs the Snapchat messaging app,
0:21:54 > 0:21:55has fallen by abillionpounds
0:21:55 > 0:21:57after the reality TV star Kylie Jenner tweeted
0:21:57 > 0:21:59that she doesn't use it anymore.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02The app had a controversial redesign last year.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Our Technology CorrespondentRory Cellan-Jonesis here.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Remarkable what one comment can apparently do!The power of
0:22:11 > 0:22:15celebrity, on all sorts of social media services. Kylie Jenner, very
0:22:15 > 0:22:22well-known reality star, as a huge following on Snapchat and has 24
0:22:22 > 0:22:25million Twitter followers, 20 people saw her tweet. But have a look at
0:22:25 > 0:22:26it:
0:22:31 > 0:22:37what a bombshell, because she was one of its biggest supporters, it
0:22:37 > 0:22:42has had this redesign. The shares fell about 6% after them. You can
0:22:42 > 0:22:48never actually link an event to a share price movement in that way, it
0:22:48 > 0:22:52did seem significant, but let's face it, Snapchat shares are extremely
0:22:52 > 0:22:57volatile, this is the company that could grow to be huge, as big as
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Facebook, by some reckoning, but could evaporate within months,
0:23:01 > 0:23:06according to others. Shares rose earlier this month by 50% in one day
0:23:06 > 0:23:10because it had some good figures out. Now it is under pressure
0:23:10 > 0:23:12because people are worrying about the redesign which has not been
0:23:12 > 0:23:17popular with a lot of users. There has been a petition about it, a
0:23:17 > 0:23:22million users have signed it. We can expect shares to go up and down as
0:23:22 > 0:23:24people change their mind every 15 minutes about whether or not it is
0:23:24 > 0:23:27the future(!)
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Sipping hot fruit teas and snacking in between meals can
0:23:32 > 0:23:33increase your chances of tooth erosion.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35That's according to scientists at King's College London,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37who say it's not just what we eat
0:23:37 > 0:23:40but how and when we eat that affects our dental health.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Catherine Burns reports.

0:23:48 > 0:23:56even though she thought she looked after her teeth well, she has tooth
0:23:56 > 0:24:02erosion, Rachel had a bad habit she did not even know about.The way I
0:24:02 > 0:24:06drink normally, especially if it is flavoured, I drink it and hold it in
0:24:06 > 0:24:10my mouth longer than the average person I suppose, perhaps the taste,
0:24:10 > 0:24:15something like that. Again, that more exposure to my teeth, in my
0:24:15 > 0:24:21mouth longer than just swallowing it down.As vices ago it does not sound
0:24:21 > 0:24:25so terrible but researchers say that it is bad news for your teeth.We
0:24:25 > 0:24:29found that one in six people had habits like sipping things really
0:24:29 > 0:24:33slowly or sipping them around their mouth, rinsing it around your mouth.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37If you do this on a daily basis for years and years you can cause
0:24:37 > 0:24:41serious damage to your teeth and that serious damage can mean that
0:24:41 > 0:24:45your whole mouth needs to be rebuilt!Treatment takes an average
0:24:45 > 0:24:52of more than 20 months, at a cost of £4500 on the NHS and almost £14,000
0:24:52 > 0:24:59privately. It is preventable, mostly by cutting back on acidic food and
0:24:59 > 0:25:03drink, some things, like fruit, are generally seen as the healthy option
0:25:03 > 0:25:07but from a dental point of view they can erode teeth. This report
0:25:07 > 0:25:12mentioned adding lemon or lime to your water, sugar free soft drinks,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16ranking fruit teas and snacking on fruit... Take these grapes, for
0:25:16 > 0:25:20example, if you eat ten or 20 of them in one sitting, that would be
0:25:20 > 0:25:24one acid attack on your teeth, if you eat the same amount over a
0:25:24 > 0:25:30longer period of time, it would be a sustained attack. Should people
0:25:30 > 0:25:33scrap their five a day to protect their teeth, is a resurgence say
0:25:33 > 0:25:38that is the last thing they want. The advice is to be aware of overall
0:25:38 > 0:25:42eating patterns and to consider snacks that are less acidic and high
0:25:42 > 0:25:49in calcium.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46a cloud over the possible reintegration, the lifting of the

0:29:02 > 0:29:04Residents of care homes regularly enjoy special events - everything
0:29:04 > 0:29:07from art lessons to magicians. But a home in Dorset has tried something
0:29:07 > 0:29:09rather different - when pole dancers staged a display. Some people have
0:29:09 > 0:29:11criticised the decision: but the care home owners say the dancers
0:29:11 > 0:29:15could be back. Here's Duncan Kennedy.
0:29:15 > 0:29:24It is a long way from Sidoti, but residents at this care home asked
0:29:24 > 0:29:29for more modern entertainment and this is what they got, and by all
0:29:29 > 0:29:32accounts, they thoroughly enjoyed it! -- sudoku. But the pole dancer
0:29:32 > 0:29:39has sent some local councillors into a spin, with one councillor saying
0:29:39 > 0:29:42it is completely inappropriate. Eyebrows raised, what did you make
0:29:42 > 0:29:47of that? It wasn't unexpected! Eleanor is the co-founder of the
0:29:47 > 0:29:52company that provided the pole dancers. A supple, seasons dancer
0:29:52 > 0:29:59herself, she says, come on, it is 2018.Yes, it is used to titillate,
0:29:59 > 0:30:03all of this, that is OK, that is fine, that it is more than just
0:30:03 > 0:30:08that, it has gone beyond that now, it is taking on its own life form,
0:30:08 > 0:30:11just because it has a foundation does not mean it has to stop there.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16That open attitude is shared by the care home itself, hearing Christ
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Church, in a statement they have said that all the pole dancers were
0:30:19 > 0:30:23wearing gym kit and the residents, some of whom have dementia, were
0:30:23 > 0:30:27given the option of attending the session. It said both residents and
0:30:27 > 0:30:32relatives are happy with what happened. The home also says pole
0:30:32 > 0:30:36dancing could become an Olympic sport. But do others think it is
0:30:36 > 0:30:41right for elderly residents?I think it is quite a good idea, why not, I
0:30:41 > 0:30:46have worked in old people's homes, and I think they should do what they
0:30:46 > 0:30:51want, really! Why not, enjoy themselves while they can!You might
0:30:51 > 0:30:55think, why didn't they opt for a different type of dance, but there
0:30:55 > 0:31:01is a stigma over Paul Downton, is it good or bad. Your view? Undecided!
0:31:01 > 0:31:06-- there is a stigma over pole dancing.This may have produced an
0:31:06 > 0:31:12outpouring of reaction in some parts, but the care home says it is
0:31:12 > 0:31:17now up for inviting the Pole
0:31:17 > 0:31:22dancers back.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28Time for the weather forecast. Sunshine we will keep through the
0:31:28 > 0:31:31weekend, on the strength of the wind, bitterly cold, as we go into
0:31:31 > 0:31:36next week, things turn colder.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Increasing chance that some of us could see snow, but back to the here

0:31:59 > 0:32:02sunshine. The thermometer may read four to seven Celsius, it will feel
0:32:02 > 0:32:07colder than that. The wind will continue to push in more clout
