A huge shake-up plan for the UK Border Agency - the Home Secretary | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
says it has suffered from a catalogue of problems. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
The Vine Report reveals a Border Force which has suspended checks, | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
spent millions on new technologies, but choose not to use them. She has | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
hidden behind a report and has not set out the full consequences, just | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
as she blamed officials, ju as she has hiden from the mead -- just as | :00:43. | :00:49. | |

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

News at Six. There's to be a big shake up in the way Britain's | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
borders are policed, after a report revealed major failings in security | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
checks. An investigation into the relaxation of border controls last | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
year, found the problem stretched back to 2007. In some cases people | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
arriving on the Eurostar were not checked on a watch list for | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
suspected criminals without ministerial approval. Theresa May | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
said the Border Force will now become a separate organisation. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Labour have accused her of failing to take responsibility for the | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
problems. Our political editor reports. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
The UK Border Agency. It is meant to stop terrorists, criminals and | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
illegal immigrants entering the country. Today, an official report | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
found the proper checks had not been carried out on hundreds of | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
occasions on many years, covering many hundreds of thousands of | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
people. The Vine report reveals that security checks carried out at | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
the border have been suspended regularly and applied | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
inconsistently since at least 2007. Guest to EuroDisney may not be top | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
of the guest list. Today's report found over the past four years, | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
500,000 passengers had entered from the theme park and trains from ski | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
resorts without facing the proper checks. The report of the chief | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
superintendent of the Border Agencys show there is a warning | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
index. It was suspended on 350 occasions. In the last 15 minutes | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
the fingerprint check, carried out on foreign nationals with Visas, | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
was suspended 480 times. In both cases it is not known how many | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
people were affected. Overall the report identifies poor | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
communication, poor managerial oversight and a lack of clarity. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
Speaker, the report reveals a Border Force which suspended | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
important checks without permission. Spent millions on new technologies, | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
but did not use them. Was led by managers who did not communicate | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
with staff and sent reports which were inaccurate, unbalanced and | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
excluded key information. I spoke to the author of the report, John | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
Vine, after he watched the Home Secretary's Commons statement and | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
asked for his verdict on the agency meant to secure our borders. | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
Another phrase was "not fit for purpose." Is that the right phrase | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
for the UK Border Agency? There is substantial improvement for this | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
agency to have the confidence. I have made 12 recommendations. I am | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
delighted to see the Home Secretary has accepted those recommendations. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
I hope that they are clear and that they will improve the service | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
provided. The row which led to today's inquiry began when the Home | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
Secretary claimed the then head of the UK Border Force, Brodie Clark, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
had suspended checks without her approval. He resigned, but insisted | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
he was no rogue. The opposition say the Government still are blaming | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
others for its mistakes. It's time for her to stop hiding, | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
to take responsibility for things which have happened on her watch, | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
for the unclear instructions from her office, for the policy | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
decisions to downgrade our border controls. There is one consequence | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
of today's report - ministers are breaking up the UK Borders Agency, | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
so the men and women who police our borders have their new organisation | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
and a new boss. Nick is in Westminster for us. On the face of | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
it some alarming findings. How worried should we be? The man who | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
wrote this long and detailed report is making it clear it is bad these | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
checks were not carried out. Often they were additional to things like | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
checking people's passports. Therefore he cannot say there was a | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
serious threat to the country. There is a lot he cannot say simply | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
because The Record-keeping was so bad. Worrying - yes. Meanwhile we | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
are hearing and seeing a blame-game. It is clear the Home Secretary, who | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
has had much longer to read this, says it goes back years, to the | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
last Labour Government. Labour are quoting parts of this, saying, oh, | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
no, it is bad under this Government and in particular, under the | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
current Immigration Minister. All we can say, for certainty tonight, | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
George, is that agency had a new title, new logo, new uniforms. The | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
only problem was it wasn't doing its job properly. A drought has | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
been declared for the southeast of England. | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
There are fears that water levels in reservoirs in parts of England | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
are so low that we could see the most severe drought since the | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
summer of 1976. The southeast, East Anglia and the East Midlands are | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
the worst affected areas. Take a look at the reservoir levels | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
in Kent and you will probably already have guessed - now it is | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
official. Much of the southeast of England is in drought. | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
In the East Midlands, that has been the case for months now. Water | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
levels here worryingly low. All of this in February, when rain is | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
usually a reliable feature of the forecast. Here you get a sense of | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
how low levels have dropped. This entire're y should be covered with | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
water. As you can see -- this entire area should be covered with | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
water. As you can see vast areas are exposed. This picture is | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
repeated across the East and the southeast of England. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
The reason for all of this is simple - two dry winters in a row. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
Hard to believe if you are watching in Scotland or Northwest England, | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
but what they want here is rain, and lots of it. We need months of | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
torrential rain to be honest. It may not be a popular thing to say, | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
but drizzle, persistently over weeks is what we need to get things | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
back to normal. If it does not come there is the real possibility we'll | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
have restrictions. That brings back memories of the epic drought of | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
1976, when for many the only water supply was from stand pipes. Just | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
how bad are things today? Well, parts of East Anglia and the East | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Midlands have been in drought since June last year. Now add other | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
regions from Hampshire to Kent, London to Oxfordshire and as far | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
west as Gloucestershire. For farmers this is bad news. Lack of | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
rain means they must rely on irrigation to grow their crops. | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
Water levels are low. Taking more out now may damage wildlife, so | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
farmers are calling for a radical solution. Ultimately a National | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Grid of water pipe networks so we can get the water from the wetter | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
west over to the east and utilise it here. Obviously that is a major | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
aspiration. Ultimately that is what we need. Seven Trent is one company | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
which is already using pipelines to move water around its region. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Today's meeting between ministers and industry leaders will have | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
discussed doing more of this on a national scale. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
The Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, was heckled and jostled by | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
a group of protestors today as he tried to enter Downing Street for a | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
meeting over the controversial reforms to the NHS in England. The | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
Government is pushing through legislation that will give GPs more | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
control over their budgets and introduce greater competition. As | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
our political correspondent reports, a number of health organisations | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
which oppose the changes were not invited to Number Ten today. | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
It clearly wasn't what he was expecting. The Health Secretary | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
walked straight into a confrontation with opponents of his | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
NHS plans. One former union official emotional as she blocked | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
his path. I've had enough of you. I've had | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
enough of you and Cameron. Are you going to go home?. The NHS is not | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
for sale. There is no privatisation. He made his way into Downing Street. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Even some of those around the table with the Prime Minister had come to | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
voice their concerns. Those who oppose the plans outright, | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
including the Royal Colleges of doctors, nurses and midwives were | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
not invited. Downing Street say today's meeting is simply part of | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
the on-going discussions about the bill. By leaving out so many of | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
their critics, they simply have increased the hostility among many | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
of the health care professionals who will be expected to implement | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
their plans. He says because some GPs have got involved and clinical | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
clinicians that means the majority of GPs support it. That's not true. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
In some parts of England GPs have been given more power over their | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
own budgets - a key part of the controversial proposals. Another | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
doctor, putting the plans into practise was at today's meeting. | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
seems to be moving ahead positively. I am not saying it is perfect. | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
There are some hurdles we have to overcome. It is not just those with | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
the placards who are worried about private sector involvement, the | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
Prime Minister wants to reassure them. There are myths we need to | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
bust. I have heard on the ground how some of these reforms are | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
taking place, you are seeing better health outcomes, GPs doing more for | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
their patients, people leading healthier lives. I am committed to | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
the changes. The Labour leader accused Mr Cameron of a bunker | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
mentality. I say directly to David Cameron, I hope he will listen to | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
the doctors, the nurses, the midwives, the patients - all of | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
whom are saying to him, "Drop the bill." Andrew Lansley made light of | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
the confrontation. You know, sticks and stones, et cetera. He is still | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
battling to get his bill through the House of Commons. The | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Government insist there is no question of its abandoning its | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
plans with the NHS now. The driver of a coach which crashed | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
in northern France injuring school children and killing a teacher is | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
appearing in court this evening. It is thought 47-year-old Derek | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
Thompson may have fallen asleep at the wheel as the children were | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
being driven back to their school after a skiing trip. Ten children | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
and adults remain in hospital. For two days he's been cross-examined | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
by the French police. Tonight, 47- year-old Derek Thompson arrived at | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
this local Magistrates' Court, hidden beneath a dark coot. He is | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
expected to be charged with involuntary manslaughter. The | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
investigation suggests he fell asleep at the wheel. We know he did | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
not drink any alcohol. He was not under the influence of drugs. We | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
know that the driving time has been restricted and the speed limit also. | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
The possibility is that he fell asleep and probably, or it may be | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
that he was sick and he had a problem. The accident claimed the | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
live of 59-year-old Peter Rippington. A devouted maths and PE | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
teacher, hugely popular with the children. His wife, Sharon, is one | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
of the ten people still in hospital. This is the A26, heading north to | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
Calais. It was 2am in the morning, it was raining, the coach had | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
travelled 350 miles from the Italian Alps. Motorists say they | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
saw the coach swerving over to the right. You can see the marks here | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
in the turf, before it slipped into the ditch. The electronic record on | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
the coach said police showed varying speeds in the ten minutes | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
before it crashed. The coach belonged to Solus Coaches, who said | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
today they were extremely saddened by the accident and are liaising | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
the appropriate authorities. Meanwhile at the Alvechurch Church | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
of England Middle School in Worcestershire, a make-shift shrine | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
has been set up with flowers and the heart-felt messages of | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
condelenses for a teacher they knew as Mr Ribs. -- Mr Rips. Very | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
supportive. He loved the kids. He was a good teacher. He had a big, | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
big heart. They'll miss him. There are ten people still receiving | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
hospital treatment in France. The biggest concern is for a 13-year- | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
old girl, who was transferred to Paris on Sunday, after falling into | :14:49. | :14:59. | |
:14:59. | :15:00. | ||
a coma. She is now conscious, but The former chief executive of | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
Lloyds Banking Group is one of several chief executives being told | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
he will get less in bonuses than he was going to get one year ago. They | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
are being penalised after misselling payment protection | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
insurance to customers. In what bankers think of as the | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
good old days when the bonus was announced, they could keep it | :15:22. | :15:31. | |
forever. Not any more. Lloyds are returning millions of pounds that | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
were given out in bonuses. The misselling of PPI is costing | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
Lloyd's a staggering �2 million. That is why they won the bonuses | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
back from the people they hold accountable. The biggest loser is | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
Eric Daniels, losing �580,000 out of a total bonus of �1.5 million. | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
:16:04. | :16:05. | ||
Four other directors are losing �150,000 and a further eight will | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
be �58,000 poorer. This is the first time that it has happened | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
since the regulation came into force. If you have messed up as the | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
leader of the Bank, then you should give back what you have done wrong, | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
in terms of taking back some of the bonus that you were incorrectly | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
given. Lloyds caused great distress to many thousands of customers who | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
were unable to make claims on the PPI credit insurance they have been | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
mis-sold. Those customers are being compensated, so the question is | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
whether a 40% reduction in the bonus payable to the former chief | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
executive and a 25% reduction in bonuses for four other directors | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
will represent adequate punishment. We have been campaigning to get | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
this to happen since the end of last year. It is good to see this | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
first step. The regulator has got to be much tougher on stopping | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
these rewards for failure, making sure that the banks are clawing | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
back bonuses, shares and cash, from people that preside over things | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
that are bad for us as taxpayers. One led by Fred Goodwin, RBS was | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
big in the misselling of PPI insurance. Although he has recently | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
had his knighthood taken back, he will not have to hand back a bonus, | :17:23. | :17:32. | |
because he was not paid one, in a catastrophic year when he departed. | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
Our top story tonight: A big shake- up for the UK board agency after a | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
damning report finds all security checks were suspended on hundreds | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
of occasions. Coming up, after that fight both | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
David Haye and Dereck Chisora could be charged by police. | :17:52. | :17:56. | |

finance ministers save Greece from It is one of the world's oldest and | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
most crippling diseases but scientists think they could be | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
close to eradicating polio altogether. The virus mainly | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
affects children under the age of five and causes paralysis. It can | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
kill. In 1988 there were 350,000 cases of polio worldwide in more | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
than 100 countries. Last year there were fewer than 650 cases across | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
the globe. India has now been polio-free for just over a year | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
thanks to a massive immunisation programme. Our medical | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
correspondent sent this report from Delhi. | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
Just two drops is all it takes to prevent polio. Now imagine | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
repeating that 170 million times, tracking down every young child | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
across India. You begin to get an idea of what it has taken to get | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
rid of polio here. The mark on the finger shows they have received the | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
vaccine. What has been achieved here is remarkable. India used to | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
have more polio cases than anywhere else but political will, resources | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
and dedication have finally wiped it out. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
The volunteers here are from Britain. Members of Rotary, the | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
global network of professionals. Rotary has been at the forefront of | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
the fight against polio for a generation, raising money and | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
awareness. My dream is to have a polio-free world. We have done it | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
with smallpox and we should be able to with polio. We are very close | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
now, so I hope it is the last few days. I am a nurse clinician and I | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
vaccinate babies on a daily basis. Doing this is just an extension of | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
that. I love people and I want to see healthy children worldwide. | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
This barely Hospital still has a backlog of patients paralysed by | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
the virus. -- this daily Hospital. Mohammed caught polio as a baby and | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
he will need repeated surgery before he can walk with the aid of | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
callipers. It is painful to see them suffering, the family | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
suffering, everybody suffering around that. And there is a stigma. | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
If the world can get rid of polio that is the greatest thing I can | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
dream of. Polio used to spread here via contaminated water and raw | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
sewage. The virus has disappeared because enough people are protected. | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
India has shown a global eradication is possible but the war | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
is not run -- over yet. Neighbouring Pakistan and | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
Afghanistan and Nigeria, all showing increases of cases last | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
year. This virus respect snowboarders and that is why it is | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
vital. -- vital for mass immunisation campaigns to continue | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
until every child is protected. Poorly run immunisation programmes | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
and families who refuse the vaccine are preventing those countries from | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
matching India's success. It will take unswerving commitment of the | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
sort seen here if this disabling disease is to be confined to | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
history. Eurozone leaders are meeting at the | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
moment to tried to secure a deal for Greece which will enable them | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
to sign off a bail-out package. We have been nearly fell on several | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
occasions before. Is it going to happen this time? -- nearly there. | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
All the words going into this meeting optimistic and the | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
expectation is that they will agree on a second massive bail-out for | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
Greece and the country will avoid bankruptcy. It pays to be cautious | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
and there are still problems. They are arguing over how Greece will | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
reduce its debt mountain. They are also arguing over how to ensure | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
that Greece will have up to its promises and commitments. One | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
minister going into the meeting even said that they needed to put | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
permanent monitors in Athens, which would be hugely controversial. If | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
at the end of all of this there is an agreement, there will be a huge | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
sigh of relief within the eurozone. The future for Greece is less | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
certain. They are being asked to take on spending cuts at a time | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
when the economy is shrinking. It shrank in the last quarter by 7%. | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
The question is will this be a rescue or will they be condemned to | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
years of austerity ahead? Thank you. The British boxes David | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
Haye and Dereck Chisora could face jail sentences into Germany if they | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
are charged following their brawl in front of the television cameras | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
of the world in Munich on Saturday night. This report starts with | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
flash photography. The fight after the fight has made | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
:23:21. | :23:24. | ||
Dereck Chisora and David Haye, coming to blows during a press | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
conference in Munich. It is an incident that has brought such | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
embarrassment to the sport that both men could be banned for life. | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
I am ashamed, embarrassed. Something went wrong at the weekend. | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
Therefore we all have to look at ourselves and take responsibility. | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
Ultimately two people did something wrong and they have to be dealt | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
with. Police in Munich say they suspect David Haye of grievous | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
bodily harm. The former World Champion would face jail if found | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
guilty. He arrived back home in England this evening having issued | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
a statement saying that he realises he is no angel, but during 21 years | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
in the sport he has never been involved in or witnessed such a | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
serious fracas. He says he will assist the boxing authorities with | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
any investigation. It is frustrating for those that love the | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
sport. They have had to watch it take a bashing. We are talking | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
about just one incident, while there are tens of thousands of | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
people boxing throughout the UK. The problem for the sport's | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
reputation is that the brawl in Munich involved two men who are | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
meant to be role models for everybody else. Children aspiring | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
to be boxes and looking up to these sports men, these athletes, it is | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
not impressive. It needs to be sorted. Dereck Chisora has issued a | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
statement apologising for his actions. Both he and David Haye are | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
in danger of being remembered as much for these moments of madness | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
outside the ring as anything they have achieved inside. | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
How much do you think a hamburger is worth? Dutch scientists are | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
spending �200,000 on creating one. The reason for the hefty price tag | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
will be because it is the world's first test-tube burger. | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
This is a strip of muscle grown from stem cells taken from a cow. | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
It will be used to make the world's first synthetic burger. The strip | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
is one of thousands grown in a lab in the Netherlands. Researchers mix | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
them with layers of fat, also grow in the lab, to make the burger. It | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
will cost more than �200,000 to make. For now the scientist behind | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
the project will have to make do with today's fast food. My eventual | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
dream is to produce a meat that tastes and looks exactly like this, | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
so you will not be able to distinguish it from livestock meet. | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
You know now that it is produced in an environmentally friendly, and a | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
more friendly and we sort friendly way. Professor past grows stem | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
cells in a dish, which then club together and grow into muscle. -- | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
Professor Post. It looks like meat and it should taste like the real | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
thing. Researchers say it is more efficient than farming because just | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
one animal could make more than a billion burgers. It is being | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
welcomed other possibility by animal welfare groups. Locals at a | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
nearby hot dog restaurant were wary. I don't think it is a good idea. | :26:32. | :26:40. | |
Why not? It does not make sense to me. This is how we have been raised | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
our whole lives here. We know how farming works, who processes it, | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
how good it is. But in the future natural meat is likely to become | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
too expensive. Buying meat in supermarkets is something that we | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
take for granted nowadays, but not for very much longer, according to | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
some economists. They believe that because of rising demand from India | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
and China, meat prices are set to soar. We have about 1 billion | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
people undernourished on the planet. As we pushed towards 9 billion by | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
2050, we will need to produce a lot more fruit. Professor Post hopes | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
that the technology he is developing will help to feed an | :27:22. | :27:32. | |
:27:32. | :27:32. | ||
ever growing and increasingly Now it is time for the weather. The | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
first signs of spring this week. Temperatures will be on the rise | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
but don't expect lots of sunshine. There will be brave and it will be | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
windy on Wednesday. It is much milder. -- there will be brain. | :27:46. | :27:53. | |
Those places stay above freezing tonight. Temperatures stay a few | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
degrees above zero. Cloud provides rain across Cumbria, really | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
building up here. Rain in western areas and temperatures above | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
freezing for most towns and cities. At about five, we start to stay. | :28:08. | :28:15. | |
Also lots of cloud. -- we start Tuesday. Central and eastern areas | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
should brighten up. If you live to the East of the hills, sunshine | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
will eventually come through and it will feel mild. In the North East | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
and Scotland 12 degrees is possible but in the West it will be gloomy | :28:26. | :28:32. | |
with rain. The East of Ireland will cheer up. Some rain in Cumbria, not | :28:32. | :28:38. | |
as heavy as today, but it could cause problems. Most places dry | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
further South. Some breaks in the cloud will bring in some sunshine | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
and temperatures up to double figures. Temperatures will be | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
higher on Wednesday but it will not feel warmer because it will be | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
blustery. Strong winds across north-western England. Welcome rain | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
across the South East on Wednesday. The winds calm down on Thursday. | :29:01. | :29:07. |
