:00:12. > :00:17.leading charity calls it a scandal. It says there is not enough time to
:00:17. > :00:21.give essential care, two out of three councils in England now use
:00:21. > :00:28.the so-called flying visits. It is not long enough when a person
:00:28. > :00:33.is not mobile, to get her up and down the stairs could take 15
:00:33. > :00:40.minutes alone. We will be asking if it is a

:01:39. > :01:45.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six. Elderly and disabled
:01:45. > :01:48.people have been deprived of essential help because many carers
:01:48. > :01:52.only have time to make what a leading charity calls flying visits.
:01:52. > :01:57.According to Leonard Cheshire Disability, the number of 15 minute
:01:57. > :02:01.visit in England has risen in the last five years, but officials say
:02:01. > :02:05.that in some cases a short visit is adequate and that simply banning
:02:05. > :02:12.them, as the charity wants, is not the answer. Mike Sergeant reports.
:02:12. > :02:17.From the moment the carer arrives, the clock is ticking. Betty is 84
:02:17. > :02:22.and has Alzheimer's. She gets home care four times a day, and two of
:02:22. > :02:27.those visits are just 15 minutes long. Her daughter says that the
:02:27. > :02:33.carers are always into much of a rush. 15 minutes is not long
:02:33. > :02:37.enough, it is not long enough when a person... Mike mam is not mobile, so
:02:37. > :02:45.to get her up and down the stairs could take 15 minutes alone. Without
:02:45. > :02:50.sword of making a cup of tea and giving her some breakfast. The
:02:50. > :02:54.council which is responsible for Betty's care says the visits are
:02:54. > :02:57.based on need and time is not a factor, but the new report says
:02:57. > :03:02.short calls are on the increase across England. 60% of councils that
:03:02. > :03:09.responded commissioned some 15 minute course, a rise of 15% in five
:03:09. > :03:15.years. In the most extreme cases, some councils by all three quarters
:03:15. > :03:21.of home care in 15 minute slots. Morning! But the majority of visits
:03:21. > :03:25.are longer. Rowena never spends less than half an hour, and that is a
:03:25. > :03:30.policy of the provider she works for. She says that gives carers long
:03:30. > :03:34.enough to do the job properly. They need time to feel that you can help
:03:34. > :03:39.and care about what is happening, what has happened to them, what they
:03:39. > :03:44.need, and they need to be treated with kindness and clarity and
:03:44. > :03:47.patience. While the Government and most local authority share the view
:03:47. > :03:51.that 15 minutes is not long enough to help with most everyday tasks,
:03:51. > :03:54.some councils say shorter visits can be useful if the purpose is not long
:03:54. > :03:56.enough to help with most everyday tasks, some councils say shorter
:03:56. > :03:59.visits can be useful if the purposes just to check someone is OK or that
:03:59. > :04:02.they have had their medication. And many councils say they would like to
:04:02. > :04:06.promise longer visits but are facing the twin pressures of cuts in
:04:06. > :04:08.government funding and increasing demand for care as the population
:04:08. > :04:12.gets older. Because of the financial demand for care as the population
:04:13. > :04:15.position nationally, local authorities are actually having less
:04:15. > :04:20.money over the next two or three year period to provide care for
:04:20. > :04:24.people, and that is in the context that actually we are having to serve
:04:24. > :04:29.more people and costs are rising. And so there is going to be a
:04:29. > :04:33.squeeze. Campaigners say many home visits are too close together and
:04:33. > :04:37.carers often not paid between jobs, but ministers say their reforms will
:04:37. > :04:41.improve the quality of the system and make the money go further. We
:04:41. > :04:45.have a significant amount of money that we are spending on health and
:04:45. > :04:49.social care, but we're not spending it in the most effective way, and if
:04:49. > :04:53.we can bring the two systems together, and we are requiring that
:04:53. > :04:57.by way of pulling the funds from the NHS and social care, I think we can
:04:57. > :05:02.achieve a much better use of resources and achieve better care
:05:02. > :05:05.for people. The Government's big idea is for care budgets to be
:05:05. > :05:08.personalised so the individual or their family can decide what sort of
:05:08. > :05:12.support they get and when they get it, but for now some, like Betty
:05:12. > :05:18.support they get and when they get Henry, have little choice but to
:05:18. > :05:22.accept the care they are given. Social affairs correspondent Alison
:05:22. > :05:26.Holt is with me now, so is it a question of funding or perhaps the
:05:26. > :05:30.way things are organised? In the end, it is about both. On the money
:05:30. > :05:36.side, local authorities are seen demand increase, and their budgets
:05:36. > :05:38.are standing still or even reducing. Certainly the Association of
:05:38. > :05:42.directors of adult social services says in the current financial year
:05:42. > :05:47.budgets have produced by £800 million, on the organisation side
:05:47. > :05:54.they say that they are not seeing money being transferred from the NHS
:05:54. > :05:57.to social care, yet they are seeing people coming home much more
:05:57. > :06:00.quickly. The government will argue that there are authorities who are
:06:00. > :06:06.very innovative in the way that they meet demand, and they want to see
:06:06. > :06:10.more of that. Now, would a ban on 15 minute visits solve all the
:06:11. > :06:15.problems? I think it is fairly definite to say no, but is it a
:06:15. > :06:19.symptom of a wider problem? Yes, it probably is. Tomorrow there will be
:06:19. > :06:24.a report from the Equality and Human Rights Commission which will look at
:06:24. > :06:29.the pressures on the care workers, the people who have to rush between
:06:29. > :06:34.visits, often very lowly paid. Many people in this sector say that what
:06:34. > :06:41.is actually needed is wider debate about funding of adult social care.
:06:41. > :06:46.The head of the new National Crime Agency has issued a warning to
:06:46. > :06:50.Britain's crime bosses - non-job you is beyond reach. The agency is the
:06:50. > :06:54.latest attempt to deal with the growing threat of organised crime
:06:54. > :06:56.and will have a budget of nearly £500 million and extra power to
:06:56. > :07:05.confiscate the assets of criminal gangs. Home affairs correspondent
:07:05. > :07:12.Tom Symonds has more. Armed officers moved in on criminals
:07:12. > :07:17.in Gateshead. In fact, this is a training exercise. Routine apart
:07:18. > :07:21.from the logos on their new jackets. The National Crime Agency,
:07:21. > :07:26.the NCA, is the third attempt in 15 years to create a UK wide falls
:07:26. > :07:33.designed to have as big an impact on big crime as that other well-known
:07:33. > :07:38.three letter crime fighter, the FBI. This is clearly the sharp end, but
:07:38. > :07:42.the new National Crime Agency behind it will be a bigger, much more
:07:43. > :07:46.visible operation, active across the UK, but for the first time with the
:07:46. > :07:52.powers to direct local police forces. We need leadership to bring
:07:52. > :07:56.agencies together based on clear intelligence, so intelligence led,
:07:56. > :07:59.and we target interventions appropriately, and our top priority
:07:59. > :08:08.is continuously disrupting people involved in organised crime.
:08:08. > :08:12.The agency said that its first real operations, a series of operations
:08:12. > :08:13.this morning, were a good demonstration of its ability to
:08:13. > :08:17.coordinate action against a modern demonstration of its ability to
:08:17. > :08:22.crime challenge, in this case identity fraud. There were eight
:08:22. > :08:24.arrests. The NCA puts a number of crime-fighting team under one roof,
:08:24. > :08:31.continuing to tackle serious and organised criminals, but also Syco
:08:31. > :08:36.and economic crime, immigration and cross-border crime, and child
:08:36. > :08:42.exploitation and protection. -- cyber. This does not live up to the
:08:42. > :08:45.Home Secretary's hype, it is important and we wish it well, but a
:08:45. > :08:51.lot of this is rebranded existing organisations, and unfortunately
:08:51. > :08:55.with a 20% budget cut. The Government says the strategy has
:08:55. > :08:59.substance and all proceeds of crime will be seized and counterterrorism
:09:00. > :09:02.may be added to the NCA's portfolio. But in Northern Ireland, Sinn Fein
:09:02. > :09:06.and the SDLP blocked the new agency But in Northern Ireland, Sinn Fein
:09:06. > :09:10.from having full powers because of concerns it would upset a delicate
:09:10. > :09:14.policing balance. And the agency wants to work closely with Europol,
:09:14. > :09:17.which coordinates policing across Europe and has a new
:09:17. > :09:22.which coordinates policing across unit. But Britain may pull out
:09:22. > :09:25.because of reforms which are planned. We don't like everything
:09:25. > :09:29.they're saying about how it should be changed, we don't think Europol
:09:30. > :09:34.should be able to instruct British police officers, for example, as to
:09:34. > :09:37.who to investigate, that we will be talking to others in Europe and to
:09:37. > :09:42.the European Commission about that future structure of Europol, and we
:09:42. > :09:46.will take a decision in due course. Host of all, the NCA wants to build
:09:46. > :09:53.a public reputation from today, day one, to be publicly judged on its
:09:53. > :09:56.successes and failures. All three main Westminster parties
:09:56. > :10:00.have been reshuffling their teams. David Cameron has promoted three
:10:00. > :10:04.women, although not of them has been given a Cabinet post. The only
:10:04. > :10:07.change in the coalition cabinet comes with the Liberal Democrat
:10:07. > :10:12.Alistair Carmichael as the new Scottish Secretary. There have also
:10:12. > :10:16.been changes to the Labour team. Debt joint deputy political editor
:10:16. > :10:20.James Landale at Westminster. George, you wait for a reshuffle for
:10:20. > :10:24.months, and suddenly two, long one after the other. We know David
:10:24. > :10:27.Cameron hates taking the knife to his government, and his reshuffle
:10:28. > :10:32.has been put off for many months. Ed Miliband chose to wait and deliver
:10:32. > :10:35.is on the same day. Many of these names may be unfamiliar to many
:10:35. > :10:39.people watching tonight, but they are the people who, in a year and a
:10:39. > :10:43.half's time, we'll ask for their support at a general election. What
:10:43. > :10:48.we learned today is that the people that the party leaders think of the
:10:48. > :10:53.best people suited for the job. All quiet outside Number Ten,
:10:54. > :10:58.nothing to do but those in the son. Not so inside. Behind this tour, a
:10:58. > :11:04.flurry of calls, a queue of visitors and a Prime Minister sweating over a
:11:04. > :11:06.jigsaw puzzle, known in these parts as a ministerial reshuffle. Today
:11:06. > :11:11.David Cameron promoted a new generation, the faces he hopes will
:11:11. > :11:15.represent the Tory party in years to come, faces like Esther McVey, from
:11:15. > :11:21.Liverpool, used to work in TV, and as you have probably noticed, a
:11:21. > :11:26.woman. She is the new jobs minister. What are the most important areas of
:11:26. > :11:30.your new role? At the same department, Mike Penning, working
:11:30. > :11:34.class, a former fireman to sell welfare reforms. And Sajid Javid,
:11:34. > :11:38.son of a bus driver, a smooth ex-banker, now promoted to the
:11:38. > :11:43.Treasury. The economy has turned a corner, and the news we keep getting
:11:43. > :11:47.is encouraging but there is more work to do. So a few themes emerging
:11:47. > :11:53.- working-class backgrounds to the poor, you faces who are very much
:11:53. > :11:56.their own women, all there to counter claims the Tories are to
:11:57. > :12:00.mail and middle-class. Underlying it all, a promotion for George
:12:00. > :12:04.Osborne's allies, like Matthew Hancock with a new job at education.
:12:04. > :12:09.The only change to the cabinet came in the broad shouldered shape of
:12:09. > :12:13.Alistair Carmichael, the new Lib Dem Scotland secretary, a robust figure
:12:13. > :12:17.that Nick Clegg wants to use to beef up the campaign against Scottish
:12:17. > :12:18.independence. up the campaign against Scottish
:12:18. > :12:23.loss. Out goes the consensual Michael Moore, outgoing ministers
:12:23. > :12:27.like Mark Hoban, Jeremy Browne, Michael Moore, outgoing ministers
:12:27. > :12:31.Chloe Smith, Mark Prisk and Richard Benyon. This was a freshen up
:12:31. > :12:34.reshuffle designed to bring on those ministers, some of whom could
:12:34. > :12:39.potentially join the Cabinet next year. It was not the only reshuffle
:12:39. > :12:43.taking place. Just down the road, Ed Miliband was making his own changes,
:12:43. > :12:48.some quite graphic. He also promoted a new generation to his Shadow
:12:48. > :12:51.Cabinet, the likes of Tristram Hunt, Emma Reynolds and Gloria de Piero,
:12:51. > :12:55.with Rachel Reeves taking over the crucial welfare brief and Andy
:12:55. > :13:00.Burnham surviving at health. But the Labour leader made room by them --
:13:00. > :13:08.for them by emoting those who were once close to Tony Blair, like Liam
:13:08. > :13:13.Byrne, Stephen Twigg. So for some, a dull day, but for others, changes
:13:13. > :13:17.that could help determine who else gets to walk through this door.
:13:17. > :13:23.Now, the reach of Ulster will continues, there are loose ends to
:13:23. > :13:27.tie up, people to appoint to those junior positions. -- the re-shuffle
:13:27. > :13:30.continues. Two thoughts remain, and these reshuffles have been
:13:30. > :13:34.relatively smooth. I have covered ones were ministers refused to take
:13:34. > :13:39.jobs, they have stormed off, some ones were ministers refused to take
:13:39. > :13:42.Cabinet ministers refused to take other junior ministers, Downing
:13:42. > :13:45.Street has tried to make changes to Whitehall that they could not,
:13:45. > :13:48.trying to abolish the Lord Chancellor. We have not had any of
:13:48. > :13:52.that so far today. It is still possible it could come later when we
:13:52. > :13:56.talk to people. The other thing I would say is this - for all the
:13:56. > :13:59.changes made, there are many people on the backbenches today who will be
:13:59. > :14:06.disappointed at being passed over, at being sacked, who feel ignored,
:14:06. > :14:09.and for both David Miliband, for Ed Miliband and David Cameron, many
:14:09. > :14:13.people on the backbenches will feel a little less warmly to them
:14:13. > :14:16.tonight. Scotland has become the first
:14:16. > :14:20.country in Europe to prescribe a new drug which reduces cravings for
:14:20. > :14:25.alcohol. Now McLean will be available on the NHS in Scotland and
:14:25. > :14:29.it is designed to help heavy drinkers who are not yet
:14:29. > :14:33.alcoholics. Scotland has one of the highest alcohol consumption rates in
:14:33. > :14:38.Europe, as James Cook reports. Too many nights end like this for
:14:38. > :14:42.some drinkers, and too many people in Scotland drink too much. It is
:14:42. > :14:47.thought nearly 200,000 are dependent on alcohol and not getting help. So
:14:47. > :14:53.will a pill which lessens the bus from whose help wean them off? They
:14:54. > :15:00.will a pill which lessens the bus tend to be drinking less and less as
:15:00. > :15:04.the months go by. They actually use the Nalmafene less and less as the
:15:04. > :15:09.months go by, as the craving for alcohol diminishes and the whole
:15:09. > :15:14.scenario that they used to be in is no longer so important. So from
:15:14. > :15:19.today, drinkers in Scotland can take a pill before heading to the pub
:15:19. > :15:24.which costs just £3 but it's only available on prescription along with
:15:24. > :15:31.counselling. I think for people with drink problems it will be good.
:15:31. > :15:36.Maybe it would solve a few problems. It's your usual lets find a quick
:15:36. > :15:38.solution but, at the same time, if you were a willing participant and
:15:38. > :15:44.you want somebody to help you, obviously it's a good idea. Doctors
:15:44. > :15:47.and politicians have tried many ways of reducing Scotland's alcohol
:15:47. > :15:50.problems and this latest drug is aimed at a particular group of
:15:50. > :15:55.drinkers, those who perhaps are having three or four pints a day and
:15:55. > :16:01.who may be on the road to more serious health problems unless
:16:01. > :16:04.something is done. So Nalmafene is no magic bullet, but it may just
:16:04. > :16:13.help them to Scotland's love affair with booze. Our top story this
:16:13. > :16:17.evening. The rise in 15-minutes care visits for the elderly and disabled.

:21:18. > :21:24.still sees herself as an ordinary teenager. There will be more of that
:21:24. > :21:35.interview on Panorama this evening on BBC One at 8.30pm. It's the big
:21:35. > :21:38.question. Can a computer ever match the complexity of the human brain?
:21:38. > :21:42.Now a group of scientists, including some from Britain, have taken up the
:21:42. > :21:44.challenge. They are trying to simulate brain functions and the
:21:44. > :21:46.experiment will take ten years and cost a billion pounds. Our medical
:21:46. > :21:48.correspondent Fergus Walsh reports cost a billion pounds. Our medical
:21:48. > :22:00.from the project headquarters in Switzerland. There are flashing
:22:00. > :22:05.images in his report. A sliver of mouse brain. Scientists are starting
:22:05. > :22:11.small but have big ambitions. To unlock the secrets of the human
:22:11. > :22:18.mind. These experiments are trying to reveal how individual neurons
:22:18. > :22:22.interconnect. So far, they have produced a computer model simulating
:22:22. > :22:28.the electrical activity of a few thousand mouse neurons. The human
:22:28. > :22:32.brain has 100 billion. It could answer fundamental questions, how
:22:32. > :22:37.does the brain process thoughts and memories, interpret our senses, and
:22:37. > :22:40.what happens when it goes wrong? The scientific benefits is we should
:22:40. > :22:45.begin to understand what makes the human brain unique. We will begin to
:22:45. > :22:49.understand the basic mechanisms behind cognition and behaviour. We
:22:49. > :22:53.will begin to understand how to objectively diagnose brain diseases.
:22:53. > :22:58.And we will understand how to build new technologies inspired by how the
:22:58. > :23:02.brain computes. To model how the brain functions will require
:23:02. > :23:08.supercomputers faster than any that currently exist. This one in
:23:08. > :23:13.Switzerland can do trillions of calculations per second. But you
:23:13. > :23:19.would need thousands of these machines to even try to simulate the
:23:19. > :23:23.brain 's ability to do complex multiple tasks. And whereas the
:23:23. > :23:27.brain requires just 30 watts of power, the same energy as a light
:23:27. > :23:33.bulb, today's computer equivalent would need most of the energy from a
:23:33. > :23:37.power station. That means completely redesigning computers, a task that
:23:37. > :23:42.power station. That means completely this team in Manchester are
:23:42. > :23:44.tackling. They have created a robot which simulates the way and in
:23:44. > :23:47.Manchester are tackling. They have created a robot which simulates the
:23:47. > :23:50.way an insect brain responds to the jewel signals. -- this jewel
:23:50. > :23:56.signals. But along with artificial intelligence. They struggle to do
:23:56. > :24:01.things humans find very easy -- visual signals. Very young babies
:24:01. > :24:04.can recognise their mothers. Programming a computer to recognise
:24:04. > :24:10.particular person is actually possible but very hard. Some doubt
:24:10. > :24:15.whether this project will justify its £1 billion price tag. New
:24:15. > :24:19.treatments for diseases like Alzheimer's are a distant prospect
:24:19. > :24:21.but the more we understand about the brain, the better placed we will be
:24:21. > :24:30.but the more we understand about the to fix it. Buckingham Palace has
:24:31. > :24:34.hosted everything from the annual garden parties to pop concerts. Now,
:24:34. > :24:36.for the first time, it's been the venue for a competitive football
:24:36. > :24:39.match. The match between two of England's oldest amateur clubs was
:24:39. > :24:47.Prince William's idea to mark 150th anniversary of the FA. Our royal
:24:47. > :24:55.correspondent Nicholas Witchell watched. Eat your heart out,
:24:55. > :24:59.Wembley. You really couldn't imagine this for setting. The Queen's back
:24:59. > :25:03.garden at Buckingham Palace staging its first competitive football
:25:03. > :25:12.match. Two teams invited to the Palace by the Prince William. Inside
:25:12. > :25:15.the Palace before the match, 150 volunteers who helped make the
:25:15. > :25:19.amateur games such success, where presented with medals and William
:25:19. > :25:24.welcomed them to his grandmother 's home. I cannot tell you how excited
:25:24. > :25:28.I am but later today, we will be playing football on my grandmother
:25:28. > :25:33.'s lawn. One morning, though. If anyone breaks a window, you could
:25:33. > :25:37.answer to her. No pressure them. These may be amateur teams but they
:25:37. > :25:40.take their football seriously. Before they got down to it, William
:25:40. > :25:45.take their football seriously. was given a football kit for Prince
:25:45. > :25:49.George. And then civil service FC and Polytechnic FC set about each
:25:49. > :25:53.other under the gaze of the World Cup final referee, Howard Webb.
:25:53. > :25:58.William joined a skill session with the Royal household football team. A
:25:59. > :26:02.reminder that for all the attention on the professional leagues, it is
:26:02. > :26:07.the amateur game stall what the FA say other real grass-roots heroes.
:26:07. > :26:11.Talking of which, meet Harry, he's 87, and a referee. What does it mean
:26:11. > :26:12.Talking of which, meet Harry, he's to you to come to Buckingham Palace
:26:12. > :26:15.for an occasion like this? I think to you to come to Buckingham Palace
:26:15. > :26:19.it's absolutely marvellous, to think to you to come to Buckingham Palace
:26:19. > :26:24.I've got here through football, unbelievable, isn't it?
:26:24. > :26:31.Unbelievable. Will you be refereeing a this weekend? Next weekend, kid.
:26:31. > :26:38.The final score, on a technic, two, civil service, one. What of the
:26:38. > :26:42.precious pitch? How has this carefully tended lawn fared? It's
:26:42. > :26:52.safe to say the ground staff have a bit of work to do. The weather
:26:52. > :26:58.looked beautiful too. Here's Matt Taylor.
:26:58. > :27:04.Things are changing. Temperatures are said to be dropped across the
:27:04. > :27:11.UK. As we start to switch the southerly wind at the moment for
:27:11. > :27:14.northerly winds and strong northerly winds at that later in the week. The
:27:14. > :27:19.wind will keep things milder tonight for many of us. Dry but lively
:27:19. > :27:25.bursts of rain in north-west England, Scotland. The odd rumble of
:27:25. > :27:32.thunder can't be rolled out. Away from that, to the side, mist and fog
:27:32. > :27:34.to start your evening. Temperatures above where they should be for the
:27:34. > :27:38.time of year. For the morning, above where they should be for the
:27:38. > :27:41.patchy fog, a lot of cloud but bright before the cloud thickens
:27:41. > :27:46.through the afternoon bringing outbreaks of rain. It brightens up
:27:46. > :27:52.across Wales, the Woodlands -- Midlands, and the westerly wind
:27:52. > :27:57.bringing in some showers. A slight dip in temperature but still
:27:57. > :28:02.15-19dC. Above where they should be. The cold air is to the north of
:28:02. > :28:06.us. As high pressure builds to the west, it brings cold air behind this
:28:06. > :28:09.weather front. It could be severe gale force across the north-east of
:28:09. > :28:16.Scotland. Wintry on the higher ground. Temperatures still around
:28:16. > :28:19.15-16. A bright day to come across southern areas but temperatures
:28:19. > :28:26.dropping away markedly further north. 10-12. The wind will make it
:28:26. > :28:30.feel colder. The cold air pushes south into Thursday morning. These
:28:30. > :28:34.are the temperatures for Thursday morning. If you have been doing it
:28:34. > :28:39.without your jacket lately, commuting, the strong wind will make
:28:39. > :28:43.it feel colder. Heavy, thundery showers to the west. Many will be
:28:43. > :28:50.dry and bright. More detail coming up in the next hour. Thanks very
:28:50. > :28:50.much. That's all from the BBC News at Six. It's goodbye from me. On BBC
