:00:09. > :00:13.A major safety alert. 22 air ambulance and police helicopters
:00:14. > :00:19.grounded after a faulty fuel gauge was discovered. The emergency
:00:20. > :00:23.helicopters are all BEC 135 models from Bond Air Services, providing
:00:24. > :00:28.cover across the UK. The helicopters are the same model that crashed into

:00:42. > :00:45.Nigella Lawson's assistance, after saying he is on Team Nigella. An
:00:46. > :00:52.inspection of GPs surgeries under covers dirty rooms which could risk

:01:30. > :01:35.Good evening. Emergency air cover across the UK was reduced today
:01:36. > :01:40.after 22 air ambulances and police helicopters were grounded. They were
:01:41. > :01:43.all BEC 135 model from Bond Air Services, the same model that
:01:44. > :01:47.crashed into a pub in Glasgow last month, killing ten people. A faulty
:01:48. > :01:51.fuel gauge had been discovered on one of the helicopters. A number of
:01:52. > :01:56.them have now been checked and declared safe to fly. BALPA have
:01:57. > :02:04.called for a fundamental review of helicopter operations. Judith Moritz
:02:05. > :02:07.is at the airport in Manchester. This is the home of the North West
:02:08. > :02:12.air ambulance of this. It was after a fault was discovered on one of the
:02:13. > :02:18.service's three aircraft yesterday that this grounding happened today.
:02:19. > :02:24.The service says it hopes to be back in the air as soon as possible. The
:02:25. > :02:29.Northwest air ambulance is called out on average five times a day in
:02:30. > :02:33.winter. Today, this helicopter went nowhere. The charity runs three of
:02:34. > :02:38.these aircraft, one of them developed a fault when it was on the
:02:39. > :02:42.ground yesterday, so they were all suspended from flying. Is very sad
:02:43. > :02:49.but it is comforting to know that if there is a fault it is being looked
:02:50. > :02:53.at and will be rectified. The helicopters are manufactured by Euro
:02:54. > :02:58.copter and operated by Bond Air Services. This morning, they
:02:59. > :03:01.grounded 22 of the helicopters. It says investigations are expected to
:03:02. > :03:05.be completed by the end of the day. Those aircraft that are confirmed as
:03:06. > :03:09.having no fault will return to service, will continue to work with
:03:10. > :03:12.the manufacturer on any aircraft which are found with this fault,
:03:13. > :03:19.with the aim of resuming normal service as soon as it is safe to do
:03:20. > :03:23.so. The grounded model is the same type of helicopter which crashed
:03:24. > :03:25.into the roof of the Glasgow bar a fortnight ago. Today it was
:03:26. > :03:30.announced that a 10th person has died as a result of the disaster.
:03:31. > :03:33.Bond Air Services said there was no indication of a link between that
:03:34. > :03:47.crashed and the suspension from flying today. The EC-135 was popular
:03:48. > :03:51.because of its handling. Some police helicopters were ordered to fly with
:03:52. > :03:57.increased fuel levels as a precaution, too. I understand there
:03:58. > :04:01.was a discrepancy between a low fuel caption, a warning light came on to
:04:02. > :04:05.say there was low fuel. But the fuel gauge was saying the tank was full.
:04:06. > :04:12.It may have absolutely nothing to do with what happened in Glasgow, but
:04:13. > :04:17.they are being ultra-cautious. EC-135s operated by other companies
:04:18. > :04:20.were flying today. Bond Air Services said it was committed to the highest
:04:21. > :04:26.standards of safety in all its operations. Amid concerns about
:04:27. > :04:31.helicopter safety for the second time this month, two unions, both
:04:32. > :04:35.the RMT and the airline pilots union, BALPA, are calling for full
:04:36. > :04:43.reviews into helicopter saved the operations. A judge has criticised
:04:44. > :04:46.the Prime Minister for commenting about the fraud trial at which
:04:47. > :04:50.Nigella Lawson has denied she is a regular drug user. David Cameron
:04:51. > :04:53.said he was on Team Nigella, prompting the judge to tell jurors
:04:54. > :05:00.it was a matter of regret, and people in public office commenting
:05:01. > :05:03.on the matter they should disregard his remarks. The Prime Minister's
:05:04. > :05:09.office said there was never any intention to have an impact on the
:05:10. > :05:13.court case. Watching Nigella on the telly is something the Prime
:05:14. > :05:16.Minister sometimes likes to do with his daughter, he has admitted.
:05:17. > :05:22.Although he clarified he has not seen her in court, David Cameron was
:05:23. > :05:27.asked in an interview if he was a fan of Team Nigella. He replies, I
:05:28. > :05:31.am, I'm a massive fan. I've had the great pleasure of meeting her a
:05:32. > :05:37.couple of times but I'm also an amateur cook and I like her recipes.
:05:38. > :05:42.Judge Robin Johnson directed the jury here to ignore the articles. He
:05:43. > :05:46.said, it is a matter of regret when people in public office comment on a
:05:47. > :05:53.person involved in a trial which is in progress. He said the defendant
:05:54. > :05:56.'s, Elisabetta and Francesco Grillo, seen here with the dark air, felt
:05:57. > :06:01.aggrieved because the comments are favourable to Miss Lawson. Taking to
:06:02. > :06:06.the stand for the first time, Elisabetta Grillo, who is 41, told
:06:07. > :06:10.the court she was allowed by Nigella to put personal expenditure on the
:06:11. > :06:15.credit card she had been provided with. She said although she never
:06:16. > :06:20.saw her former boss taking drugs, she regularly witnessed evidence of
:06:21. > :06:24.cocaine use. She said the celebrity chef did not tell the truth last
:06:25. > :06:28.night when she claimed she had only taken cocaine once after her first
:06:29. > :06:33.husband's death. Elisabetta Grillo also told how there was often
:06:34. > :06:37.shouting and stress in the Lawson Suchy household. She said about Miss
:06:38. > :06:41.Lawson, she felt like she was living in a golden cage. She couldn't go
:06:42. > :06:45.out to a birthday party like normal people because Charles always wanted
:06:46. > :06:55.her there. The sisters deny fraud and the case continues. An
:06:56. > :06:59.inspection of 900 GP surgeries in England has uncovered failings in
:07:00. > :07:05.basic standards in about a third of them. The Care Quality Commission
:07:06. > :07:09.found examples of poor standards of cleanliness and in the handling of
:07:10. > :07:12.medicines. In nine cases it was so serious that it could have
:07:13. > :07:19.potentially endangered lives and affected thousands of people. GP
:07:20. > :07:22.surgeries are where most of us receive the bulk of our treatment on
:07:23. > :07:26.the NHS. Everything from vaccinations to monitoring the
:07:27. > :07:30.health of our hearts, GPs do it all. They are the front door to the
:07:31. > :07:34.health service. Now one GP from Birmingham has been placed in charge
:07:35. > :07:38.of making sure family doctors in England are providing safe care. And
:07:39. > :07:42.the first batch of those inspections have thrown up some worrying
:07:43. > :07:47.results. The vast majority of practices provide really good care,
:07:48. > :07:51.but unfortunately they are let down by a few and patience are let down
:07:52. > :07:56.in large numbers by a few of those practices. This surgery is one of
:07:57. > :08:01.those that failed the CQC inspection. Problems here included
:08:02. > :08:04.poorly trained staff, medical records left unattended and,
:08:05. > :08:08.worryingly, medicines and vaccines that were out of date, meaning it is
:08:09. > :08:12.possible they were no longer effective. The patients here were
:08:13. > :08:17.surprised the surgery had come off so badly. I've had no problems. I've
:08:18. > :08:21.found each doctor has been very good. I was ill last year and they
:08:22. > :08:26.were excellent. My son was very ill last year and they were excellent.
:08:27. > :08:30.How surprised you that the surgery has run into problems? Quite
:08:31. > :08:34.surprised. I thought they were really good doctors. They've always
:08:35. > :08:40.been really good with me, always fitted me in. Elsewhere, inspectors
:08:41. > :08:45.found to the consulting rooms, poorly maintained equipment and even
:08:46. > :08:48.in this surgery, in Nottingham, an infestation of markets, which the
:08:49. > :08:51.practice says has been addressed. The patient groups believe these
:08:52. > :08:57.failings are inexcusable. If these were restaurants, they would be
:08:58. > :09:01.seriously fined and if they didn't get their act together they would be
:09:02. > :09:05.closed down. There are 8000 surgeries in England, and these
:09:06. > :09:09.inspections looked at just over 900, 80% of which were targeted because
:09:10. > :09:16.of pre-existing concerns. There were just nine surgeries where there were
:09:17. > :09:21.serious failures. The fridge is organised into different vaccines.
:09:22. > :09:25.At this surgery in Stockport, they make sure they are up to date with
:09:26. > :09:30.procedures. But they worry about how the report will affect the bond of
:09:31. > :09:34.trust between patient and doctor. Without that, there is no
:09:35. > :09:37.doctor-patient relationship. It is absolutely essential that every
:09:38. > :09:41.aspect of patient care is at the highest standard that the patient
:09:42. > :09:46.can expect. A full round-up inspections. Next year, then we will
:09:47. > :09:50.get a better picture of how good a service GP surgeries are providing.
:09:51. > :09:55.The head of the body which sets MPs' pay will -- insisted they will press
:09:56. > :10:00.ahead with the proposed 11% pay rise, despite criticism from party
:10:01. > :10:04.leaders. Sir Ian Kennedy said it would be the first time MPs pay and
:10:05. > :10:13.pensions would be set independently. David Cameron said such a large rise
:10:14. > :10:17.was on. -- was not on. Remember that row about MPs' expenses? They've
:10:18. > :10:22.turned into a new comedy in the West End. But news of a poser for an 11%
:10:23. > :10:27.pay rise might just kill the laughter. After all the fuss about
:10:28. > :10:31.all the receipts for the hanging baskets and the glittery toilet seat
:10:32. > :10:35.and the elephant glands, you might think it's a bit of a bad joke for
:10:36. > :10:41.MPs to be talking about putting up their own pay. The joke, though, is
:10:42. > :10:44.on them. They are not doing it. It's an independent body that says in
:10:45. > :10:47.return for a pay rise they should have a lower pension, lower
:10:48. > :10:55.resettlement payments and, yes, tighter expenses rules. MPs' pay now
:10:56. > :11:00.is a little under ?66,500. After the next election it is proposed it
:11:01. > :11:04.should go up to ?74,000. But the regulator says there will be no
:11:05. > :11:10.extra cost once all the changes are included. If it is seen in the round
:11:11. > :11:13.is an important set of reforms, which is not going to cost the
:11:14. > :11:20.taxpayer any more money and settles once and for all the issue of pay
:11:21. > :11:25.for politicians, I think people will say, guess, now I understand. So
:11:26. > :11:32.what do the public think? Do you think MPs should set their own pay?
:11:33. > :11:38.Nope. Should they get an 11% pay rise? Nope. But the independent body
:11:39. > :11:46.that sets their pay says they should. Should they set their own
:11:47. > :11:51.pay? Definitely not. I wish I could get an 11% pay rise. An independent
:11:52. > :11:57.body says they should get it all stops all you do want them to set
:11:58. > :12:01.their own pay? No, I don't. It would take a change in the law to stop
:12:02. > :12:05.this decision, but party leaders know what the audience wants to
:12:06. > :12:09.hear. We will make sure it doesn't happen if there is a Labour
:12:10. > :12:14.government. I don't think the public will accept it. In a radio
:12:15. > :12:18.interview, the Prime Minister didn't go quite that far. There's time to
:12:19. > :12:22.think again, there's time to get this right. The decision will be
:12:23. > :12:26.made in the second half of 2015. I hope they will think again. The
:12:27. > :12:30.regulator says the whole point of being independent is to be
:12:31. > :12:39.independent. Politicians saying the same to you in private as they are
:12:40. > :12:43.in public? It may be that they want to be seen to be making a big fuss.
:12:44. > :12:47.That's a perceptive judgment by someone who is a perceptive
:12:48. > :12:51.observer. Far be it from me to make any comment. In politics you can't
:12:52. > :12:55.please all of the audience all of the time. So the public sector
:12:56. > :12:59.politicians, stop setting your own pay. And now they say they don't
:13:00. > :13:11.like the independent recommendation. It would be funny if it wasn't real
:13:12. > :13:14.life. The man accused of faking sign language at the memorial service for
:13:15. > :13:18.Nelson Mandela has said he has schizophrenia and that he was
:13:19. > :13:22.hallucinating at the event, seeing angels. Thamsanqa Jantjie, who stood
:13:23. > :13:30.onstage alongside world leaders, said his condition sometimes made

:13:36. > :13:39.Barack Obama, a man who now says he was in the middle of the
:13:40. > :13:44.schizophrenic episode. He remembers nothing. It was his erratic sign
:13:45. > :13:50.language that first raised concerns. Experts describing it as tuberous.
:13:51. > :13:54.But when the BBC tracked Thamsanqa Jantjie down to his Soweto home
:13:55. > :14:04.today, the 34-year-old said he wasn't a fraud, he was simply ill. I
:14:05. > :14:12.had a breakdown. When I see angels come from the sky. Photos prove he
:14:13. > :14:16.had often worked at prestigious events. There are reports his
:14:17. > :14:20.illness has made him violent in the past. Today a government official
:14:21. > :14:25.insisted world leaders had not been in any danger. Are you embarrassed
:14:26. > :14:31.about what happened at the stadium during the Memorial? I'm not, I have
:14:32. > :14:36.no reason to be. Even if a mistake happened, a mistake happened while
:14:37. > :14:40.we tried. But it is an awkward destruction, as crowds queued for a
:14:41. > :14:43.second date to see Nelson Mandela's body. This may seem like a

:17:07. > :17:12.and when I heard the results, I was amazed, because it is fantastic.
:17:13. > :17:15.Women like her, who had a risk factor and had been through the

:19:16. > :19:20.need to think about not only knowing the suppliers, but knowing the
:19:21. > :19:24.suppliers' suppliers. We have to have a change in mindset. The horse
:19:25. > :19:31.meat scandal showed how complex the supply chain has become. Especially
:19:32. > :19:36.with processed food. For example, just take this everyday pizza. The
:19:37. > :19:40.dough could have come from America, Poland or France, the chicken from
:19:41. > :19:44.Brazil come up island, the Netherlands or Germany, and the
:19:45. > :19:49.cheese could have come from Switzerland, Italy or Spain. The
:19:50. > :19:55.longer the chain, the more difficult it is to keep tabs on all of the
:19:56. > :19:59.ingredients. How do we keep the criminals out? There are dozens of
:20:00. > :20:01.recommendations in the report, including the creation of a

:22:03. > :22:08.life for all South Africa. This woman has been living here for 15
:22:09. > :22:14.years. She tells me that she is still waiting for a house provided
:22:15. > :22:19.by government, fresh drinking water and electricity. That is what she
:22:20. > :22:23.voted for. Home video of recent trouble in the township. It had been
:22:24. > :22:29.brewing for months will stop there is a lot of anger here. I am angry
:22:30. > :22:38.with the government, because they are sitting like pigs. The toilet
:22:39. > :22:46.does not have any flushing. Everything is very bad for us. They
:22:47. > :22:51.vote, for what? The ANC can do nothing about it. It is not just the
:22:52. > :22:58.failure of government to deliver basic services that is fuelling
:22:59. > :23:04.discontent. The scandal of Jacob Zuma's spending public money on his
:23:05. > :23:07.private home has angered many. There is a sense of burning rage at the
:23:08. > :23:11.base of society, amongst poor communities, marginalised
:23:12. > :23:20.communities there is true anger. If we do not bring economic inequality
:23:21. > :23:24.levels down, we might imperil the reconciliation that Madiba brought
:23:25. > :23:29.forward. There is little doubt that many ordinary South Africans are
:23:30. > :23:33.angry that their lives are not getting better as promised by Nelson
:23:34. > :23:37.Mandela and the ANC. But the question is, will they show their
:23:38. > :23:44.discontent by turning their backs on the ruling party? Maybe not in next
:23:45. > :23:46.year's election, but there is a growing realisation within the
:23:47. > :23:48.organisation that they must act urgently to ease tensions or risk
:23:49. > :24:01.losing support. Participation in Sport England has
:24:02. > :24:06.fallen slightly since the Olympics. Defying expectations that the games
:24:07. > :24:10.would boost the numbers of those taking part. There has been a drop
:24:11. > :24:17.in 16 to 24-year-olds, and fewer women.
:24:18. > :24:22.Inspire a generation, the ailing expand line you could not escape.
:24:23. > :24:26.But England's number generation did not get the memo. Football has
:24:27. > :24:30.slumped to England's fourth most played sport, and even a British
:24:31. > :24:35.Wimbledon and in could not stop tennis' slide. What the Olympics
:24:36. > :24:40.have done is increased participation overall. No host nation has ever
:24:41. > :24:45.managed to do that before. What we have not managed to do yet is to get
:24:46. > :24:51.real growth in the numbers of young people doing sport across the board.
:24:52. > :24:55.That is a big challenge. Specifically, the 16 to
:24:56. > :25:03.25-year-olds, down by 51,000 since the same time last year. The
:25:04. > :25:08.government has long been told that more house to happen at grassroots
:25:09. > :25:10.level to make a real difference to future generations, but it is clear
:25:11. > :25:16.that girls represent a specific challenge. That is a tough nut to
:25:17. > :25:21.crack. Sports like boxing have seen a rise, E Adams winning Britain's
:25:22. > :25:27.first female gold helped. But the fact remains, young girls drop out
:25:28. > :25:31.of sport faster than boys, 16 to 25-year-old females are half as
:25:32. > :25:35.active as their male equivalents, and worryingly for the government,
:25:36. > :25:41.1.8 million fewer women play regular sport than men. There is a multitude
:25:42. > :25:44.of reasons, self confidence, self-esteem, body image, time and
:25:45. > :25:49.money, and sometimes, we have children to look after. You need to
:25:50. > :25:53.be able to place the children somewhere to play a game of hockey
:25:54. > :25:58.or to go for a run. Some sports are struggling more than others. The
:25:59. > :26:01.last British woman to win Wimbledon says there is a wider issue around
:26:02. > :26:07.why some girls are not picking up tennis racket. Expectations for a
:26:08. > :26:14.female sporting hero are different. A girl is supposed to be beautiful,
:26:15. > :26:22.have long legs and be very athletic looking, and the perfect. Despite
:26:23. > :26:26.role models like Jessica Ennis-Hill, sponsorship of women account for
:26:27. > :26:31.just 4.5% of the sports market in the UK. Experts argue, without a
:26:32. > :26:38.fundamental culture change, a golden opportunity could be lost forever.
:26:39. > :26:47.As winter nights go, it will be positively balmy. Overnight lows are
:26:48. > :26:52.similar to daytime highs at this time of year. To thank for that, a
:26:53. > :26:59.covering of cloud, which will bring rain in most areas by dawn. We could
:27:00. > :27:08.see temperatures dipping away in the south-east of the cloud files in.
:27:09. > :27:12.Elsewhere, these are the overnight low temperatures. Friday gets off to
:27:13. > :27:17.a great start, a lot of cloud around, and outbreaks of rain,
:27:18. > :27:22.especially across western Scotland. Northern Ireland should be
:27:23. > :27:27.brightening up quite nicely, the rain pulling away to the east. A lot
:27:28. > :27:30.of cloud and murky conditions across the hills of northern England,
:27:31. > :27:34.across East Anglia and the south-east, and further west,
:27:35. > :27:40.another band of rain will bring heavier downpours. Everything is
:27:41. > :27:42.moving east through the day, so bright conditions become more
:27:43. > :27:49.widespread, moving to Scotland for the afternoon. Look out for a
:27:50. > :27:56.fuchsia hot showers into Northern Ireland later.
:27:57. > :28:01.Still some rain left over for tomorrow evening for eastern
:28:02. > :28:05.England, but that will clear during the small hours of Saturday. We are
:28:06. > :28:09.up against this weather system, and it means the prospect of heavy rain
:28:10. > :28:15.and strong wind for Scotland and Northern Ireland. As if that was not
:28:16. > :28:19.enough, it moves East, and brings some rain into England and Wales,
:28:20. > :28:22.and another weather front is brewing towards the north-west for Scotland
:28:23. > :28:29.and Northern Ireland, with 80 or 90 mph wind. This weekend, it is a
:28:30. > :28:31.stormy outlook for Scotland and Northern Ireland, but quieter for
:28:32. > :28:32.England and Wales.
