:09:03. > :09:09.months to see where the share price is then and we will have a good idea
:09:09. > :09:13.of what Royal Mail is worth. Where the prize goes depends on what

:10:15. > :10:20.diseases. Our ageing population means neurodegenerative diseases are
:10:20. > :10:26.affecting more people. Around half a million have Alzheimer's. Then there
:10:26. > :10:29.is Parkinson 's and the devastating condition, Huntington's. Scientists
:10:29. > :10:35.believe they could be a common mechanism, mainly the build-up of
:10:35. > :10:39.abnormal proteins in the brain. It triggers a natural defence response
:10:39. > :10:41.which shuts down protein production, but it leads to cells dying. The
:10:41. > :10:48.mice were given a compound which but it leads to cells dying. The
:10:48. > :10:54.reactivated protein production. This gives scientists a new target for
:10:54. > :10:59.tackling brain disease. But the human brain is far more complex than
:10:59. > :11:02.that of a mouse. It is simply too early to say whether this one study

:13:06. > :13:12.tenants. The idea is to make Britain a more hostile place for illegal

:13:17. > :13:21.discrimination experienced by ethnic minorities trying to get houses in
:13:21. > :13:27.the 50s and 60s. Meli landlords oppose the plan saying it won't
:13:27. > :13:31.work. How often will we have to check the documentation of tenants?
:13:31. > :13:36.Every six months? What do we do if the immigration status of the tenant
:13:36. > :13:41.changes? Who do we go to? Another public concern is foreigners are
:13:41. > :13:46.abusing the health service. The government wants migrants coming to
:13:46. > :13:50.Britain for more than six months to contribute £200 towards possible NHS
:13:50. > :13:55.care. Some worry this extra charge will put off valuable overseas

:14:00. > :14:02.the taxes they pay. Making it easier to deport foreign criminals by

:14:12. > :14:16.streamline procedures. The government will improve rules with
:14:16. > :14:22.the changes they are talking about. But they will need to improve the

:22:06. > :22:12.guidelines in Northern Ireland do not allow abortions on those

:22:16. > :22:20.home in Northern Ireland not for a weekend break but to have an
:22:20. > :22:23.abortion. The baby she is carrying has serious foetal abnormality is

:23:16. > :23:21.regular pro-life protests outside family planning clinics and private
:23:21. > :23:25.clinics that offer advice. But the law is very strict, it says it is
:23:25. > :23:30.unlawful to perform a termination unless it is necessary to preserve
:23:30. > :23:38.the life of the pregnant woman, or if there is a risk of a real and
:23:38. > :23:40.serious adverse affect. The law surrounding abortion in Northern

:25:15. > :25:22.Brazil or turn around and walk away from the greatest tournament of
:25:22. > :25:28.their lives. Just fear play a role on missing out of something like a
:25:28. > :25:32.Brazil World Cup? I do not think so. We have never discussed not
:25:32. > :25:36.qualifying. Within the camp, we are convinced we are a good team and
:25:36. > :25:43.good enough to qualify and with two home games, we are convinced we will
:25:43. > :25:48.do the job. So words like fear or anxiety or concern have not really
:25:48. > :25:55.crossed our minds. This is what is at stake, a World
:25:55. > :25:59.Cup in Brazil. England lead back-up but must beat Montenegro or Poland
:25:59. > :26:04.to be certain of qualification. As usual, England are under huge
