:00:19. > :00:24.A huge shake-up plan for the UK Border Agency - the Home Secretary

:00:24. > :00:28.says it has suffered from a catalogue of problems.

:00:28. > :00:33.The Vine Report reveals a Border Force which has suspended checks,

:00:33. > :00:38.spent millions on new technologies, but choose not to use them. She has

:00:38. > :00:43.hidden behind a report and has not set out the full consequences, just

:00:43. > :00:49.as she blamed officials, ju as she has hiden from the mead -- just as

:00:49. > :00:56.she has hidden from the media. We will ask who is to blame? Also

:00:56. > :01:05.tonight: The southeast of England is declared a drought zone. Warning

:01:05. > :01:09.hosepipe bans could be next. Coming up - are water shortages on the way.

:01:09. > :01:16.Many reservoirs are only half full, at a time of year when they should

:01:16. > :01:19.be full to the brim. The NHS is not for sale.

:01:19. > :01:24.An angry message for the Home Secretary, as he enters Downing

:01:24. > :01:29.Street for talks on the NHS reforms. Bosses at Lloyds Banks penalised.

:01:29. > :01:33.They lose out on �2 million in bonuses. Is this the future of

:01:33. > :01:41.food? Can this be turned into one of these? We talk to the scientists

:01:41. > :01:44.who says it can. Coming up later, former world

:01:44. > :01:50.super-middleweight champion says he should not have been taken

:01:50. > :02:00.seriously when he made comments claiming to prolong a fight in 2005

:02:00. > :02:07.

:02:07. > :02:11.so his family could gain Good evening. Welcome to the BBC's

:02:11. > :02:17.News at Six. There's to be a big shake up in the way Britain's

:02:17. > :02:20.borders are policed, after a report revealed major failings in security

:02:20. > :02:25.checks. An investigation into the relaxation of border controls last

:02:25. > :02:30.year, found the problem stretched back to 2007. In some cases people

:02:30. > :02:33.arriving on the Eurostar were not checked on a watch list for

:02:33. > :02:37.suspected criminals without ministerial approval. Theresa May

:02:37. > :02:40.said the Border Force will now become a separate organisation.

:02:40. > :02:44.Labour have accused her of failing to take responsibility for the

:02:44. > :02:49.problems. Our political editor reports.

:02:49. > :02:52.The UK Border Agency. It is meant to stop terrorists, criminals and

:02:52. > :02:56.illegal immigrants entering the country. Today, an official report

:02:56. > :03:00.found the proper checks had not been carried out on hundreds of

:03:00. > :03:05.occasions on many years, covering many hundreds of thousands of

:03:05. > :03:09.people. The Vine report reveals that security checks carried out at

:03:09. > :03:18.the border have been suspended regularly and applied

:03:18. > :03:25.inconsistently since at least 2007. Guest to EuroDisney may not be top

:03:25. > :03:31.of the guest list. Today's report found over the past four years,

:03:31. > :03:40.500,000 passengers had entered from the theme park and trains from ski

:03:40. > :03:43.resorts without facing the proper checks. The report of the chief

:03:43. > :03:50.superintendent of the Border Agencys show there is a warning

:03:50. > :03:56.index. It was suspended on 350 occasions. In the last 15 minutes

:03:56. > :04:00.the fingerprint check, carried out on foreign nationals with Visas,

:04:00. > :04:04.was suspended 480 times. In both cases it is not known how many

:04:04. > :04:08.people were affected. Overall the report identifies poor

:04:08. > :04:13.communication, poor managerial oversight and a lack of clarity.

:04:13. > :04:17.Speaker, the report reveals a Border Force which suspended

:04:17. > :04:21.important checks without permission. Spent millions on new technologies,

:04:21. > :04:25.but did not use them. Was led by managers who did not communicate

:04:25. > :04:28.with staff and sent reports which were inaccurate, unbalanced and

:04:28. > :04:33.excluded key information. I spoke to the author of the report, John

:04:33. > :04:37.Vine, after he watched the Home Secretary's Commons statement and

:04:37. > :04:42.asked for his verdict on the agency meant to secure our borders.

:04:42. > :04:47.Another phrase was "not fit for purpose." Is that the right phrase

:04:47. > :04:52.for the UK Border Agency? There is substantial improvement for this

:04:52. > :04:55.agency to have the confidence. I have made 12 recommendations. I am

:04:55. > :04:59.delighted to see the Home Secretary has accepted those recommendations.

:04:59. > :05:03.I hope that they are clear and that they will improve the service

:05:03. > :05:11.provided. The row which led to today's inquiry began when the Home

:05:11. > :05:15.Secretary claimed the then head of the UK Border Force, Brodie Clark,

:05:15. > :05:19.had suspended checks without her approval. He resigned, but insisted

:05:19. > :05:24.he was no rogue. The opposition say the Government still are blaming

:05:24. > :05:26.others for its mistakes. It's time for her to stop hiding,

:05:26. > :05:31.to take responsibility for things which have happened on her watch,

:05:31. > :05:35.for the unclear instructions from her office, for the policy

:05:35. > :05:40.decisions to downgrade our border controls. There is one consequence

:05:40. > :05:45.of today's report - ministers are breaking up the UK Borders Agency,

:05:45. > :05:50.so the men and women who police our borders have their new organisation

:05:50. > :05:55.and a new boss. Nick is in Westminster for us. On the face of

:05:55. > :06:00.it some alarming findings. How worried should we be? The man who

:06:00. > :06:04.wrote this long and detailed report is making it clear it is bad these

:06:04. > :06:08.checks were not carried out. Often they were additional to things like

:06:08. > :06:12.checking people's passports. Therefore he cannot say there was a

:06:12. > :06:18.serious threat to the country. There is a lot he cannot say simply

:06:18. > :06:25.because The Record-keeping was so bad. Worrying - yes. Meanwhile we

:06:25. > :06:30.are hearing and seeing a blame-game. It is clear the Home Secretary, who

:06:30. > :06:33.has had much longer to read this, says it goes back years, to the

:06:33. > :06:38.last Labour Government. Labour are quoting parts of this, saying, oh,

:06:38. > :06:41.no, it is bad under this Government and in particular, under the

:06:41. > :06:47.current Immigration Minister. All we can say, for certainty tonight,

:06:47. > :06:52.George, is that agency had a new title, new logo, new uniforms. The

:06:52. > :06:58.only problem was it wasn't doing its job properly. A drought has

:06:58. > :07:02.been declared for the southeast of England.

:07:02. > :07:05.There are fears that water levels in reservoirs in parts of England

:07:05. > :07:10.are so low that we could see the most severe drought since the

:07:10. > :07:14.summer of 1976. The southeast, East Anglia and the East Midlands are

:07:14. > :07:19.the worst affected areas. Take a look at the reservoir levels

:07:19. > :07:22.in Kent and you will probably already have guessed - now it is

:07:22. > :07:27.official. Much of the southeast of England is in drought.

:07:27. > :07:32.In the East Midlands, that has been the case for months now. Water

:07:32. > :07:37.levels here worryingly low. All of this in February, when rain is

:07:37. > :07:41.usually a reliable feature of the forecast. Here you get a sense of

:07:41. > :07:45.how low levels have dropped. This entire're y should be covered with

:07:45. > :07:50.water. As you can see -- this entire area should be covered with

:07:50. > :07:53.water. As you can see vast areas are exposed. This picture is

:07:53. > :07:58.repeated across the East and the southeast of England.

:07:58. > :08:02.The reason for all of this is simple - two dry winters in a row.

:08:02. > :08:07.Hard to believe if you are watching in Scotland or Northwest England,

:08:07. > :08:12.but what they want here is rain, and lots of it. We need months of

:08:12. > :08:17.torrential rain to be honest. It may not be a popular thing to say,

:08:17. > :08:22.but drizzle, persistently over weeks is what we need to get things

:08:22. > :08:26.back to normal. If it does not come there is the real possibility we'll

:08:26. > :08:30.have restrictions. That brings back memories of the epic drought of

:08:31. > :08:36.1976, when for many the only water supply was from stand pipes. Just

:08:36. > :08:40.how bad are things today? Well, parts of East Anglia and the East

:08:40. > :08:45.Midlands have been in drought since June last year. Now add other

:08:45. > :08:49.regions from Hampshire to Kent, London to Oxfordshire and as far

:08:49. > :08:55.west as Gloucestershire. For farmers this is bad news. Lack of

:08:55. > :09:00.rain means they must rely on irrigation to grow their crops.

:09:00. > :09:05.Water levels are low. Taking more out now may damage wildlife, so

:09:05. > :09:10.farmers are calling for a radical solution. Ultimately a National

:09:10. > :09:15.Grid of water pipe networks so we can get the water from the wetter

:09:15. > :09:20.west over to the east and utilise it here. Obviously that is a major

:09:20. > :09:24.aspiration. Ultimately that is what we need. Seven Trent is one company

:09:24. > :09:27.which is already using pipelines to move water around its region.

:09:27. > :09:34.Today's meeting between ministers and industry leaders will have

:09:34. > :09:37.discussed doing more of this on a national scale.

:09:37. > :09:41.The Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, was heckled and jostled by

:09:41. > :09:45.a group of protestors today as he tried to enter Downing Street for a

:09:45. > :09:48.meeting over the controversial reforms to the NHS in England. The

:09:48. > :09:53.Government is pushing through legislation that will give GPs more

:09:53. > :09:56.control over their budgets and introduce greater competition. As

:09:56. > :10:02.our political correspondent reports, a number of health organisations

:10:02. > :10:06.which oppose the changes were not invited to Number Ten today.

:10:06. > :10:10.It clearly wasn't what he was expecting. The Health Secretary

:10:10. > :10:14.walked straight into a confrontation with opponents of his

:10:14. > :10:18.NHS plans. One former union official emotional as she blocked

:10:18. > :10:23.his path. I've had enough of you. I've had

:10:23. > :10:30.enough of you and Cameron. Are you going to go home?. The NHS is not

:10:30. > :10:34.for sale. There is no privatisation. He made his way into Downing Street.

:10:34. > :10:38.Even some of those around the table with the Prime Minister had come to

:10:38. > :10:42.voice their concerns. Those who oppose the plans outright,

:10:42. > :10:45.including the Royal Colleges of doctors, nurses and midwives were

:10:45. > :10:50.not invited. Downing Street say today's meeting is simply part of

:10:50. > :10:54.the on-going discussions about the bill. By leaving out so many of

:10:54. > :10:58.their critics, they simply have increased the hostility among many

:10:58. > :11:03.of the health care professionals who will be expected to implement

:11:03. > :11:07.their plans. He says because some GPs have got involved and clinical

:11:07. > :11:11.clinicians that means the majority of GPs support it. That's not true.

:11:11. > :11:15.In some parts of England GPs have been given more power over their

:11:15. > :11:19.own budgets - a key part of the controversial proposals. Another

:11:19. > :11:24.doctor, putting the plans into practise was at today's meeting.

:11:24. > :11:29.seems to be moving ahead positively. I am not saying it is perfect.

:11:29. > :11:33.There are some hurdles we have to overcome. It is not just those with

:11:33. > :11:37.the placards who are worried about private sector involvement, the

:11:37. > :11:41.Prime Minister wants to reassure them. There are myths we need to

:11:41. > :11:47.bust. I have heard on the ground how some of these reforms are

:11:47. > :11:50.taking place, you are seeing better health outcomes, GPs doing more for

:11:50. > :11:55.their patients, people leading healthier lives. I am committed to

:11:55. > :12:00.the changes. The Labour leader accused Mr Cameron of a bunker

:12:00. > :12:03.mentality. I say directly to David Cameron, I hope he will listen to

:12:03. > :12:08.the doctors, the nurses, the midwives, the patients - all of

:12:08. > :12:12.whom are saying to him, "Drop the bill." Andrew Lansley made light of

:12:12. > :12:16.the confrontation. You know, sticks and stones, et cetera. He is still

:12:16. > :12:18.battling to get his bill through the House of Commons. The

:12:18. > :12:26.Government insist there is no question of its abandoning its

:12:26. > :12:31.plans with the NHS now. The driver of a coach which crashed

:12:31. > :12:34.in northern France injuring school children and killing a teacher is

:12:34. > :12:39.appearing in court this evening. It is thought 47-year-old Derek

:12:39. > :12:44.Thompson may have fallen asleep at the wheel as the children were

:12:44. > :12:49.being driven back to their school after a skiing trip. Ten children

:12:49. > :12:55.and adults remain in hospital. For two days he's been cross-examined

:12:55. > :13:00.by the French police. Tonight, 47- year-old Derek Thompson arrived at

:13:00. > :13:04.this local Magistrates' Court, hidden beneath a dark coot. He is

:13:04. > :13:08.expected to be charged with involuntary manslaughter. The

:13:08. > :13:12.investigation suggests he fell asleep at the wheel. We know he did

:13:12. > :13:16.not drink any alcohol. He was not under the influence of drugs. We

:13:16. > :13:22.know that the driving time has been restricted and the speed limit also.

:13:22. > :13:27.The possibility is that he fell asleep and probably, or it may be

:13:27. > :13:31.that he was sick and he had a problem. The accident claimed the

:13:31. > :13:34.live of 59-year-old Peter Rippington. A devouted maths and PE

:13:35. > :13:40.teacher, hugely popular with the children. His wife, Sharon, is one

:13:40. > :13:45.of the ten people still in hospital. This is the A26, heading north to

:13:45. > :13:50.Calais. It was 2am in the morning, it was raining, the coach had

:13:50. > :13:54.travelled 350 miles from the Italian Alps. Motorists say they

:13:54. > :13:58.saw the coach swerving over to the right. You can see the marks here

:13:58. > :14:03.in the turf, before it slipped into the ditch. The electronic record on

:14:03. > :14:07.the coach said police showed varying speeds in the ten minutes

:14:08. > :14:13.before it crashed. The coach belonged to Solus Coaches, who said

:14:13. > :14:15.today they were extremely saddened by the accident and are liaising

:14:15. > :14:18.the appropriate authorities. Meanwhile at the Alvechurch Church

:14:18. > :14:23.of England Middle School in Worcestershire, a make-shift shrine

:14:23. > :14:31.has been set up with flowers and the heart-felt messages of

:14:31. > :14:35.condelenses for a teacher they knew as Mr Ribs. -- Mr Rips. Very

:14:35. > :14:40.supportive. He loved the kids. He was a good teacher. He had a big,

:14:40. > :14:44.big heart. They'll miss him. There are ten people still receiving

:14:44. > :14:49.hospital treatment in France. The biggest concern is for a 13-year-

:14:49. > :14:59.old girl, who was transferred to Paris on Sunday, after falling into

:14:59. > :15:00.

:15:00. > :15:04.a coma. She is now conscious, but The former chief executive of

:15:04. > :15:09.Lloyds Banking Group is one of several chief executives being told

:15:09. > :15:12.he will get less in bonuses than he was going to get one year ago. They

:15:12. > :15:17.are being penalised after misselling payment protection

:15:17. > :15:22.insurance to customers. In what bankers think of as the

:15:22. > :15:31.good old days when the bonus was announced, they could keep it

:15:31. > :15:38.forever. Not any more. Lloyds are returning millions of pounds that

:15:39. > :15:43.were given out in bonuses. The misselling of PPI is costing

:15:43. > :15:47.Lloyd's a staggering �2 million. That is why they won the bonuses

:15:47. > :15:54.back from the people they hold accountable. The biggest loser is

:15:54. > :16:04.Eric Daniels, losing �580,000 out of a total bonus of �1.5 million.

:16:04. > :16:05.

:16:05. > :16:09.Four other directors are losing �150,000 and a further eight will

:16:09. > :16:13.be �58,000 poorer. This is the first time that it has happened

:16:13. > :16:18.since the regulation came into force. If you have messed up as the

:16:18. > :16:21.leader of the Bank, then you should give back what you have done wrong,

:16:21. > :16:27.in terms of taking back some of the bonus that you were incorrectly

:16:27. > :16:30.given. Lloyds caused great distress to many thousands of customers who

:16:31. > :16:36.were unable to make claims on the PPI credit insurance they have been

:16:36. > :16:40.mis-sold. Those customers are being compensated, so the question is

:16:40. > :16:45.whether a 40% reduction in the bonus payable to the former chief

:16:45. > :16:50.executive and a 25% reduction in bonuses for four other directors

:16:50. > :16:54.will represent adequate punishment. We have been campaigning to get

:16:54. > :16:57.this to happen since the end of last year. It is good to see this

:16:57. > :17:02.first step. The regulator has got to be much tougher on stopping

:17:02. > :17:10.these rewards for failure, making sure that the banks are clawing

:17:10. > :17:15.back bonuses, shares and cash, from people that preside over things

:17:15. > :17:19.that are bad for us as taxpayers. One led by Fred Goodwin, RBS was

:17:19. > :17:23.big in the misselling of PPI insurance. Although he has recently

:17:23. > :17:32.had his knighthood taken back, he will not have to hand back a bonus,

:17:32. > :17:39.because he was not paid one, in a catastrophic year when he departed.

:17:39. > :17:43.Our top story tonight: A big shake- up for the UK board agency after a

:17:43. > :17:47.damning report finds all security checks were suspended on hundreds

:17:47. > :17:52.of occasions. Coming up, after that fight both

:17:52. > :17:56.David Haye and Dereck Chisora could be charged by police.

:17:56. > :18:02.In the business news, thousands of pounds lighter, while 13 Lloyds

:18:02. > :18:12.Bank executives are stripped of their bonuses. And can the European

:18:12. > :18:13.

:18:13. > :18:17.finance ministers save Greece from It is one of the world's oldest and

:18:17. > :18:20.most crippling diseases but scientists think they could be

:18:20. > :18:25.close to eradicating polio altogether. The virus mainly

:18:25. > :18:31.affects children under the age of five and causes paralysis. It can

:18:31. > :18:35.kill. In 1988 there were 350,000 cases of polio worldwide in more

:18:36. > :18:41.than 100 countries. Last year there were fewer than 650 cases across

:18:41. > :18:44.the globe. India has now been polio-free for just over a year

:18:44. > :18:49.thanks to a massive immunisation programme. Our medical

:18:49. > :18:55.correspondent sent this report from Delhi.

:18:55. > :18:58.Just two drops is all it takes to prevent polio. Now imagine

:18:58. > :19:03.repeating that 170 million times, tracking down every young child

:19:03. > :19:07.across India. You begin to get an idea of what it has taken to get

:19:07. > :19:13.rid of polio here. The mark on the finger shows they have received the

:19:13. > :19:17.vaccine. What has been achieved here is remarkable. India used to

:19:17. > :19:24.have more polio cases than anywhere else but political will, resources

:19:24. > :19:28.and dedication have finally wiped it out.

:19:28. > :19:33.The volunteers here are from Britain. Members of Rotary, the

:19:33. > :19:36.global network of professionals. Rotary has been at the forefront of

:19:36. > :19:41.the fight against polio for a generation, raising money and

:19:41. > :19:45.awareness. My dream is to have a polio-free world. We have done it

:19:45. > :19:50.with smallpox and we should be able to with polio. We are very close

:19:50. > :19:54.now, so I hope it is the last few days. I am a nurse clinician and I

:19:54. > :20:02.vaccinate babies on a daily basis. Doing this is just an extension of

:20:02. > :20:07.that. I love people and I want to see healthy children worldwide.

:20:07. > :20:15.This barely Hospital still has a backlog of patients paralysed by

:20:15. > :20:19.the virus. -- this daily Hospital. Mohammed caught polio as a baby and

:20:19. > :20:23.he will need repeated surgery before he can walk with the aid of

:20:23. > :20:27.callipers. It is painful to see them suffering, the family

:20:27. > :20:31.suffering, everybody suffering around that. And there is a stigma.

:20:31. > :20:36.If the world can get rid of polio that is the greatest thing I can

:20:36. > :20:40.dream of. Polio used to spread here via contaminated water and raw

:20:40. > :20:44.sewage. The virus has disappeared because enough people are protected.

:20:44. > :20:52.India has shown a global eradication is possible but the war

:20:52. > :20:56.is not run -- over yet. Neighbouring Pakistan and

:20:56. > :21:00.Afghanistan and Nigeria, all showing increases of cases last

:21:00. > :21:08.year. This virus respect snowboarders and that is why it is

:21:08. > :21:12.vital. -- vital for mass immunisation campaigns to continue

:21:12. > :21:18.until every child is protected. Poorly run immunisation programmes

:21:18. > :21:22.and families who refuse the vaccine are preventing those countries from

:21:22. > :21:26.matching India's success. It will take unswerving commitment of the

:21:26. > :21:31.sort seen here if this disabling disease is to be confined to

:21:31. > :21:39.history. Eurozone leaders are meeting at the

:21:39. > :21:44.moment to tried to secure a deal for Greece which will enable them

:21:44. > :21:50.to sign off a bail-out package. We have been nearly fell on several

:21:50. > :21:54.occasions before. Is it going to happen this time? -- nearly there.

:21:54. > :21:57.All the words going into this meeting optimistic and the

:21:57. > :22:04.expectation is that they will agree on a second massive bail-out for

:22:04. > :22:07.Greece and the country will avoid bankruptcy. It pays to be cautious

:22:07. > :22:12.and there are still problems. They are arguing over how Greece will

:22:12. > :22:15.reduce its debt mountain. They are also arguing over how to ensure

:22:15. > :22:19.that Greece will have up to its promises and commitments. One

:22:19. > :22:24.minister going into the meeting even said that they needed to put

:22:24. > :22:27.permanent monitors in Athens, which would be hugely controversial. If

:22:27. > :22:32.at the end of all of this there is an agreement, there will be a huge

:22:32. > :22:36.sigh of relief within the eurozone. The future for Greece is less

:22:36. > :22:42.certain. They are being asked to take on spending cuts at a time

:22:42. > :22:46.when the economy is shrinking. It shrank in the last quarter by 7%.

:22:46. > :22:52.The question is will this be a rescue or will they be condemned to

:22:52. > :22:56.years of austerity ahead? Thank you. The British boxes David

:22:56. > :23:00.Haye and Dereck Chisora could face jail sentences into Germany if they

:23:00. > :23:03.are charged following their brawl in front of the television cameras

:23:04. > :23:11.of the world in Munich on Saturday night. This report starts with

:23:11. > :23:21.flash photography. The fight after the fight has made

:23:21. > :23:24.

:23:24. > :23:27.Dereck Chisora and David Haye, coming to blows during a press

:23:27. > :23:31.conference in Munich. It is an incident that has brought such

:23:31. > :23:36.embarrassment to the sport that both men could be banned for life.

:23:36. > :23:41.I am ashamed, embarrassed. Something went wrong at the weekend.

:23:41. > :23:44.Therefore we all have to look at ourselves and take responsibility.

:23:44. > :23:49.Ultimately two people did something wrong and they have to be dealt

:23:49. > :23:53.with. Police in Munich say they suspect David Haye of grievous

:23:53. > :23:58.bodily harm. The former World Champion would face jail if found

:23:58. > :24:02.guilty. He arrived back home in England this evening having issued

:24:02. > :24:06.a statement saying that he realises he is no angel, but during 21 years

:24:06. > :24:12.in the sport he has never been involved in or witnessed such a

:24:12. > :24:15.serious fracas. He says he will assist the boxing authorities with

:24:15. > :24:19.any investigation. It is frustrating for those that love the

:24:19. > :24:23.sport. They have had to watch it take a bashing. We are talking

:24:23. > :24:27.about just one incident, while there are tens of thousands of

:24:27. > :24:31.people boxing throughout the UK. The problem for the sport's

:24:31. > :24:35.reputation is that the brawl in Munich involved two men who are

:24:35. > :24:40.meant to be role models for everybody else. Children aspiring

:24:40. > :24:46.to be boxes and looking up to these sports men, these athletes, it is

:24:46. > :24:49.not impressive. It needs to be sorted. Dereck Chisora has issued a

:24:49. > :24:53.statement apologising for his actions. Both he and David Haye are

:24:53. > :24:59.in danger of being remembered as much for these moments of madness

:24:59. > :25:04.outside the ring as anything they have achieved inside.

:25:04. > :25:09.How much do you think a hamburger is worth? Dutch scientists are

:25:09. > :25:15.spending �200,000 on creating one. The reason for the hefty price tag

:25:15. > :25:19.will be because it is the world's first test-tube burger.

:25:19. > :25:25.This is a strip of muscle grown from stem cells taken from a cow.

:25:25. > :25:30.It will be used to make the world's first synthetic burger. The strip

:25:30. > :25:34.is one of thousands grown in a lab in the Netherlands. Researchers mix

:25:34. > :25:40.them with layers of fat, also grow in the lab, to make the burger. It

:25:40. > :25:46.will cost more than �200,000 to make. For now the scientist behind

:25:46. > :25:53.the project will have to make do with today's fast food. My eventual

:25:53. > :25:57.dream is to produce a meat that tastes and looks exactly like this,

:25:57. > :26:01.so you will not be able to distinguish it from livestock meet.

:26:01. > :26:06.You know now that it is produced in an environmentally friendly, and a

:26:06. > :26:12.more friendly and we sort friendly way. Professor past grows stem

:26:12. > :26:16.cells in a dish, which then club together and grow into muscle. --

:26:16. > :26:19.Professor Post. It looks like meat and it should taste like the real

:26:19. > :26:23.thing. Researchers say it is more efficient than farming because just

:26:23. > :26:28.one animal could make more than a billion burgers. It is being

:26:28. > :26:32.welcomed other possibility by animal welfare groups. Locals at a

:26:32. > :26:40.nearby hot dog restaurant were wary. I don't think it is a good idea.

:26:40. > :26:46.Why not? It does not make sense to me. This is how we have been raised

:26:46. > :26:50.our whole lives here. We know how farming works, who processes it,

:26:50. > :26:54.how good it is. But in the future natural meat is likely to become

:26:54. > :26:58.too expensive. Buying meat in supermarkets is something that we

:26:58. > :27:02.take for granted nowadays, but not for very much longer, according to

:27:02. > :27:08.some economists. They believe that because of rising demand from India

:27:08. > :27:13.and China, meat prices are set to soar. We have about 1 billion

:27:13. > :27:18.people undernourished on the planet. As we pushed towards 9 billion by

:27:18. > :27:22.2050, we will need to produce a lot more fruit. Professor Post hopes

:27:22. > :27:32.that the technology he is developing will help to feed an

:27:32. > :27:32.

:27:32. > :27:36.ever growing and increasingly Now it is time for the weather. The

:27:36. > :27:40.first signs of spring this week. Temperatures will be on the rise

:27:40. > :27:46.but don't expect lots of sunshine. There will be brave and it will be

:27:46. > :27:53.windy on Wednesday. It is much milder. -- there will be brain.

:27:53. > :27:58.Those places stay above freezing tonight. Temperatures stay a few

:27:58. > :28:03.degrees above zero. Cloud provides rain across Cumbria, really

:28:03. > :28:08.building up here. Rain in western areas and temperatures above

:28:08. > :28:15.freezing for most towns and cities. At about five, we start to stay.

:28:15. > :28:19.Also lots of cloud. -- we start Tuesday. Central and eastern areas

:28:19. > :28:23.should brighten up. If you live to the East of the hills, sunshine

:28:23. > :28:26.will eventually come through and it will feel mild. In the North East

:28:26. > :28:32.and Scotland 12 degrees is possible but in the West it will be gloomy

:28:32. > :28:38.with rain. The East of Ireland will cheer up. Some rain in Cumbria, not

:28:38. > :28:42.as heavy as today, but it could cause problems. Most places dry

:28:42. > :28:46.further South. Some breaks in the cloud will bring in some sunshine

:28:46. > :28:50.and temperatures up to double figures. Temperatures will be

:28:50. > :28:55.higher on Wednesday but it will not feel warmer because it will be

:28:55. > :29:01.blustery. Strong winds across north-western England. Welcome rain

:29:01. > :29:07.across the South East on Wednesday. The winds calm down on Thursday.
