believes Britain's future lies at the heart of Europe, but he hasn't | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
completely ruled out a vote on membership. A lot that guarantees | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
there will be no transfer of powers without an in-out referendum. We | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
will be asking voters what they think of the debate on Europe. Also | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
tonight: Desperate relatives of the missing hear the last words of the | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Malaysian Airlines crew minutes before they disappeared. It just | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
disappeared off the face of the earth. If we could just find some | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
wreckage, or something. Dramatic scenes as a forensic expert reenacts | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
how Oscar Pistorius broke down his toilet door with a cricket bat. | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
Tonight I'm at Britain's research centre for robotics. I will have a | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
special report on how our economic future will depend on technological | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
innovation. And, how 3D printing was used to rebuild this man's face | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
after a serious motorbike accident. We have an exclusive report. | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
Tonight, on BBC London. Electric cars for hire, but can they become | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
as common as Boris Bikes? And, new figures from the Met reveal the | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
thousands of gang-related crimes in the capital. | :01:27. | :01:45. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. Ed Miliband says a | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
referendum on Britain's membership of the EU is unlikely if Labour win | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
the next election. The Labour leader says he believes Britain's future | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
lies in the EU and the "economic case for membership is | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
overwhelming". But Mr Miliband said in the "unlikely" event of the EU | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
demanding more control, he wouldn't allow a transfer of fresh powers to | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Brussels without an in-out referendum. The Prime Minister said | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
Labour's plan gives the British people "no choice", and only the | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Conservatives would guarantee a referendum. Our political editor, | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Nick Robinson, reports. Should you get a vote in a referendum on | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
whether Britain stays in or gets out of the EU, the Tories are promising | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
one by 2017? What would Labour do? This morning's papers were clear, up | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
to a point. The FT said Miliband rules out early EU poll. The Mirror | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
said Ed would give you an in-out vote. Perhaps the Labour leader | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
could clear things up in his big speech on Europe. There will be no | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
transfer of powers without an in-out referendum. Without a clear choice | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
about whether Britain will stay in the EU. That sounded as ifs he was | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
in favour of a vote, but just fast forward a few seconds. I believe | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
it's unlikely this lock will be used in the next parliament. His new | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
policy took seven paragraphs and more than a minute to explain. If a | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
voter asked you, will you guarantee me a say on whether Britain stays in | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
or gets out of the EU, if you're Prime Minister, what is the answer | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
in a Seine sentence? If there is a tran fer of powers from Britain to | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
the European Union, then there will be an an in-out referendum. My | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
priority for the next parliament though is tackling the | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
cost-of-living crisis, protecting our National Health Service and jobs | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
for young people. Maybe or maybe not? I said in my speech, very | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
clearly, I have been straight about this, I think it's unlikely that the | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
lock will be triggered in the next parliament. What do voters make of | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
Tories who say yes, and Labour who say it's possible, but unlikely. I | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
would go yes. Can you vote for me there. Certainly. I would rather | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
have a choice, to be honest, as a ebb m of the British public. Ed | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Miliband says it is not a priority. He should get on with et creating | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
jobs and worrying about the NHS? Yeah. We need to make the decision | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
ourselves. The There is better things to spend money on that people | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
would benefit from rather than an EU referendum. I don't think we need a | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
referendum on it. I believe we should be in Europe. That is a clear | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
answer. David Cameron claims that Labour's policy is clearer than they | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
want it to seem. He says they are against be giving you a say. What is | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
clear is under Labour there won't be a referendum. The only way to get an | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
in-out referendum and a proper renegotiation of Britain's position | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
in Europe, reform in Europe, the only way to get that is to have the | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Conservatives in Government. Ed Miliband knows that a am prosis of a | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
referendum -- promise of a referendum would have been popular | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
he thinks he can run against David Cameron by saying that he will focus | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
on the economy nomy and the NHS while the Tory Government would be | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
obsessed and divided about Europe. He says voters have seen that movie | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
before when John Major was Prime Minister in the 90s. David Cameron | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
has no char tie about what he is negotiating for. His promises on | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Europe are undefined, undeliverable and now unravelling. Many voters may | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
dislike the idea of being denied a say, but Labour are counting on big | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
business backing them for reducing uncertainty about whether Britain | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
will stay in the EU. The final words from the crew on board the missing | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
Malaysian Airlines jet in their last communication with Air Traffic | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Control on Friday have been made public. The authorities say all | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
seemed normal on the flight just minutes before it vanished as it | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
headed out over the South China Sea from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
239 passengers and crew on board. The search area has been widened, | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
yet again, and now stretches across 27,000 nautical miles. January hang | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
head's o report from Kuala Lumpur contains some flash photography. It | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
possible for so many planes and ships to find no trace of a 200 | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
tonne airliner after five days of searching? It is, if they are being | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
looking in the wrong place. For days they assumed it had come down in the | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
South China Sea, close to its last contact. Now, the Mall mall | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
authorities think it may have ended up hundreds of miles west of its | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
flight path. At the daily press briefings officials are struggling | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
to explain why they seem to know so little. When we looked at that | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
recording it proved that there is a possibility that this aircraft | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
turned back. But we are not sure whether it is the same aircraft. As | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
always, there was an uproar of questions, but very few answers. | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
Flight MH370 was almost an hour into its journey when Malaysian Air | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
Traffic Control bid the pilot farewell as he moved out their | :07:14. | :07:24. | |
airspace. Military radar records show an unidentified object flying | :07:25. | :07:33. | |
an hour later over the sea. Two on board were Rodney and Mary burrows. | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
Rodney's parents had been about to visit them in China to celebrate | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Mary's birthday. There is no news what so ever. It's just disappeared | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
off the face of the earth. If we could just find some wreckage or | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
something it would be a help, probably. What we've learnt almost | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
five days after flight MH370 vanished must be of concern to the | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
millions of passengers passing through this, and other airports in | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
the region, that the authorities know almost nothing about what | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
happened to the airliner and that in their search for it, they are just | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
guessing. Jonathan Head, BBC News, Kuala Lumpur. There have been | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
dramatic scenes at the Oscar Pistorius murder trial. A forensic | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
expert has been re-enacting how the Olympian broke down the toilet door | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
in his bathroom with a cricket bat to reach his girlfriend. Athlete | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
denies murdering Reeva Steenkamp and says he fired through the locked | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
door thinking she was an inStrouder. From Pretoria, Andrew Harding | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
reports. The crime scene came to court today in the form of a door, | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
the one Oscar Pistorius shot through. The white walls behind it | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
representing the toilet where Reeva Steenkamp was killed. With a | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
flourish, a forensic expert revealed the cricket bat Pistorius used to | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
smash the door down that night. It's a lazer, English willo. At issue | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
today, the marks left by that bat. There were at least two marks on the | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
toilet door. One here, a meter-and-a-half above the floor, | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Pistorius standing to one side, another hit from straight on, a | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
little lower down. The forensic expert saying that suggested the | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
athlete was on his stumps and, therefore, lying when he claimed he | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
was wearing his prosthetic legs. On your knees. Lift your feet up. The | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
defence said, that was just guesswork. They asked the expert to | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
act it out again. Explain to me what is happening. Are you losing your | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
balance? I'm off balance. He conceded, it might be hard to | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
balance on stumps and swing a bat. Pistorius's team said it had done | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
its own forensic tests on the door which proved the athlete was telling | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
the truth about standing on his prosthetic legs. The test showed he | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
hadn't just hit the door, he kicked it, leaving traces of his sock | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
trapped in the wood. For the police investigating Reeva Steenkamp's | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
death it has not been a great day. The pieces are gone. They ares ming. | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Their forensic expert admitted the door had been removed from the crime | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
scene, trampled on a chunk of it had gone missing. Pistorius seemed | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
relaxed throughout. Smiling broadly at one point when an earlier witness | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
appeared to stumble. It's been a dramatic day in court. The | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
prosecution here is still struggling to prove that Oscar Pistorius's | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
version of what happened that night is a lie. Andrew Harding BBC News, | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
Pretoria High Court. A woman has told the jury in Max Clifford's | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
trial that he made her rife life "a living hell". The woman, whose | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
identity has been protected, told the court that Mr Clifford had | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
forced her to perform a sex act on him at the age of 15 and then | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
blackmailed her with claims he had taken photos of the assault am he | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
denies all nine charges of indecent assault dating back to the 1970s and | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
80s. The Court of Appeal has viewed ruled that a decision by the | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
Attorney General to stop letters by Prince Charles to Government | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
ministers being push blushed was unlawful. The Guardian newspaper has | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
spent years trying to get what has been described as "frank" letters | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
released under the Freedom of Information Act. Our royal | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, reports if you want a quiet life, | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
lock me up, he said a few years ago. The Prince of Wales believes as heir | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
to the throne he has a right and a duty to bring to the attention of | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
Government issues raised with him on his trips around the country. This | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
was a visit to the Somerset floods last month. More often than not, he | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
makes his views known to government via these, hand written letters, his | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
black spider letters, because of his distinctive hand writing. 27 letters | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
like these, written by the Prince nearly 10 years ago to ministers in | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
Tony Blair's Government that the Guardian believe the public should | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
be allowed to see under the Freedom of Information Act. Opposing the | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Government, Dominic Grieve, who argued the letters contained the | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
Prince's "deeply held private views." A judge ruled in the Court | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
of Appeal that the Attorney General was wrong. The Attorney General did | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
not have reasonable grounds for forming the opinion on which his | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
certificate was based. The Guardian's editor says there is an | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
important issue at stake. If The Prince of Wales is going to use his | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
position in public life to influence Government policy we have a right to | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
know about that, as we would anybody else in power who was trying to | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
influence policy. Should letters which Charles wrote in confidence | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
now be made public? Some MPs think not. The Prince of Wales has written | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
a letter, or letters, which he intended to be private. They were | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
private. They were received in the expectation of privacy, parliament | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
intends for The Prince of Wales to be with the Queen exempt from Feedom | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
of Information. On the one hand, the Prince's supporters say he is | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
perfectly entitled to raise issues with ministers. Others question | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
that. They say he is unelected, he shouldn't interfere. It will now be | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
for the Supreme Court to decide whether these 27 letters should be | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
made public. Nicholas Witchell, BBC News at Clarence House. The time is | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
coming up to 6. 6.15pm. Ed Miliband says Labour won't hold a referendum | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
on Britain's EU membership unless the UK is asked to transfer more | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
powers to Brussels. And, still to come, what a 50th birthday present | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
from friends and family this turned out to be. The horse that just won | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
at Cheltenham. Later, on BBC London. Talks over ticket office closures on | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
the Tube are put on hold, as a mark of respect, after the death of Bob | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
Crow. And, the school criticised by Ofsted for being too scruffy - not | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
the buildings, or the pupils, but A growing skills vacuum in the UK is | :14:08. | :14:20. | |
threatening the future of Britain's high tech industry and the economic | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
recovery - that's according to business leaders. The CBI is calling | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
on the Government to cut university tuition fees for science and maths | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
degrees so that more students learn the skills needed. They say future | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
growth depends on it. As the Chancellor prepares to deliver his | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
budget next Wednesday, George Alagiah has been travelling across | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
the UK asking if we really are on the right road to recovery. Tonight | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
he's in Bristol. Thank you, Sophie, and good evening | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
from Bristol. I'm at Britain's biggest research centre for | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
robotics. About 100 scientists work here - from mechanical engineers to | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
psychologists. They're the best brains in their business. Haze here | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
is trying to see if a robot could work out whether I'm happy or sad. | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
They know what they're doing but the key for our economy is whether their | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
ideas could be turned into money-making businesses. | :15:15. | :15:24. | |
You could buy one of these off-the-shelf but that's where the | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
similarity ends. What's special about this particular drone is that | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
it doesn't need one of these - this old-fashioned radio transmitter. All | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
the decisions are being made by this, a computer. The scientists say | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
a robot could fly itself into inaccessible disaster zones and | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
relay vital information to search and rescue teams. The potential is | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
vast. Many experts believe robotics is the new technological frontier. I | :15:55. | :16:03. | |
see the word chocolate ice. With an ageing population, robots will play | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
an ever bigger role, both in the workplace and at home. I think | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
robots are going to be crucial in our future, particularly as we age. | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
We are living longer but not necessarily more healthy lives. | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
Robots can help support us from a medical point of view and also make | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
us more competitive in manufacturing. Are you getting | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
enough investment? Definitely not. When it comes to the amount spent by | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
government on research and develop it, it turns out we're way behind | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
our competitors. So how much to other countries spend? Jerry here | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
has got the answers. In Germany, it's double the amount. In China, | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
five times as much. In the US, a whopping ten times. So we're in a | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
race to the top. The UK is full of really talented engineers and | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
scientists. Our big challenges, can we support them through funding | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
streams to enable them to stay in the UK to develop their ideas in the | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
UK? Aircraft technology is one area where Britain does have an edge. | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
This is the Airbus design centre just outside Bristol. More than 2000 | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
engineers work here. The titanium rods react... But across Britain, | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
we're only turning out a third of the Young engineers the country will | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
need. Britain's aerospace sector is second only to the United States and | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
the government is backing it with hard cash. It is the greatest level | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
of investment from government into aerospace since the days of | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
Concord, since the early 1960s. So when I say it's a big step forward, | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
it's a huge step forward and the area to invest in is innovation. But | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
if robotics is the future, then it will need a similar level of | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
commitment. The great fear is that Britain has the brains but could | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
miss out on making money from their work. So investment is the key but | :18:01. | :18:09. | |
the big question is that the robotics industry is just one of | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
many sector is looking for more taxpayer money. How to allocate that | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
money is what the Chancellor has got to tell us when he delivers his | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
budget next week. Our chief economic correspondent, Hugh Pym, is here. | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
What challenges will George Osborne face? One thing that's become clear | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
in the last couple of days is the need to have a recovery based on | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
more than just consumer spending and borrowing. Uni businesses investing | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
in machinery and equipment and exporting more goods and services | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
abroad. The Chancellor knows that and has admitted the recovery is not | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
as balanced as it should be. That's why we can be pretty sure that in | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
his budget box X-ray, there will be measures to help business, for | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
example, with tax breaks. That's all very well but the scale of the | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
challenges by figures out today - UK research and develop and actually | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
fell in the last year for which figures are available and is now | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
below the UK average. That's business. He'll be tempted to do | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
something to help harmonies and households in the general election. | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Labour are saying the cost of living squeeze haven't gone away and more | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
needs to be done on gas and Alexa DeVille. We'll find out in exactly a | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
week. -- gas and electricity bills. You will be following that word for | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
word. So, what have we learned on our journey from Scotland to | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
Bristol? It seems to me there are very few people, if any, who doubt a | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
recovery is under way and the business people we spoke to had real | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
optimism. But, from low paid workers to higher rate taxpayers, there was | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
a question that kept recurring - when am I going to feel it in my | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
pocket? That's it from Bristol. Back to you in London, Sophie. | :19:54. | :20:10. | |
Thank you, George. A young man who worked at | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
Westminster and claims the former Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans sexually | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
assaulted him has told Preston Crown Court that a senior Tory said the MP | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
couldn't resign because the timing wasn't right. The trial was told | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
that the alleged victim met the Tory Chief Whip Patrick McLoughlin in | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
2009 and asked for Mr Evans, seen here in the middle, to resign. But | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
he says he was told he couldn't because the MP had no immediate | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
family that he could pass it off on. Mr Evans denies one count of rape, | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
two counts of indecent assault and six of sexual assault. | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
A man from Swansea who survived a serious motorbike accident has | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
become one of the first patients in the world to have his face | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
reconstructed using 3D printing. The team at Swansea's Morriston Hospital | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
designed everything on a computer and then created the 3D copies, | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
layer by layer, on a special printer. Our Wales correspondent | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
Hywel Griffith was given exclusive access to the operating theatre. | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
Here's his report. Come and have a seat, Stephen. Nice | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
to see you. His body filled with plates and screws, Stephen Power has | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
had to learn to hide his injuries since his accident 18 months ago. | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
Despite wearing a crash helmet, he remembers little of the impact which | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
left him on a life-support machine and left his skull crushed out of | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
shape. I shouldn't really be wearing glasses. I wear them to disguise my | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
cheek and my eye because with them off, obviously you can see my cheek | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
is out there. My eye is sunk. And my nose is still bent. Surgeons are | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
going to rebuild Stephen's face but, instead of using traditional | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
techniques, the parts they need for the operation have been printed. | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
Using scans of Stephen's skull, the team first changed its shape on a | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
computer. And then, layer by layer, they printed the models, plates and | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
implants for use in surgery. It means every part is designed to fit | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
precisely, removing any guesswork for the surgeon. The team are now | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
working with custom-printed cutting guides designed to perfectly fit | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
Stephen's face. They'll help them restore a natural symmetry. Working | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
on historic injuries makes that a challenge but the printed parts are | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
making a difference. Without the guide, it's up to our free-hand | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
decision-making on the operating table, which could be good, could be | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
not good. With this, if it fits together OK, it means it's exact. | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
It's perfect. Two weeks later and time to see the results. The | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
difference between the two sides is now one millimetre. There's still | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
some swelling but the scans show symmetry has been restored. For | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
Stephen, it feels transforming. I'm just glad they have developed that | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
technology which enabled them to do something like that. It is life | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
changing and it has changed my life. Stephen's place in history is | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
already marked with this exhibit in the Science Museum. The future of 3D | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
printing could see working organs printed within a decade. But for | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
Stephen, the technology has already delivered a huge step forward in his | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
recovery. Hywel Griffith, BBC News, Swansea. | :23:16. | :23:30. | |
Steve Preston had a life-long ambition - to own a race horse. And | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
so, five years ago, his friends and family clubbed together for his 50th | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
birthday and started a fund - which, they told him, could only be used to | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
buy one. And what a present it turned out to be - because today | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
Sire De Grugy won the feature race at the Cheltenham Festival. Joe | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
Wilson reports. There was a problem for the Preston | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
family - what should the Suns by their father for his 50th birthday? | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
Answer, a racehorse, Sire De Grugy. Purchased in France for 50,000 euros | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
via a could she set up by friends and family, it carries the colours | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
of Crystal Palace football club - red and blue. That's him in front, | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
heading for the line. He ran what's known as a perfect race to win one | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
of the biggest prizes in the sport. The Preston family are now wondering | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
what to do with an extra ?200,000, the latest and greatest success for | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
of course they'd imagined would simply give them a few nice days | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
out. Everybody loves it and I think the reason everybody loves it is | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
because they relate to the story. People listen to it and think, "that | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
could be us, we could be that person" . I think that's the reason | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
- it's almost a racehorse for horse racing fans. Prize-giving was | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
conducted by the Duchess of Cornwall, who clearly enjoyed | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
meeting the Preston family. She was very jealous that we had such a | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
great horse and the fact that we only had one horse and he was that | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
great made her even more green with envy. I asked if she would like a | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
scarf and she said yes. So I gave her a scarf and I said, "please give | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
it to your grandson" . Things are rarely simple here at Cheltenham and | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
later the afternoon came the news that another horse had died on the | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
course. This is a place for all emotions, whether millionaires | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
mingle with the masses. And perhaps if Gloria is possible for Sire De | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
Grugy, it is for anybody. Time for the weather now. Cast your | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
mind back to last March. We were gripped by bitter cold across the | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
UK, with disruptive snowfall across many parts of the country. It seems | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
a long time ago now because this is a more typical scene this March, | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
with beautiful blue skies. The daffodils are out and once the fog | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
has cleared, it's pleasantly warm. Overnight tonight, the fog will | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
reform and could become quite an issue. More fog this coming night | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
compared with the last few. Rain turning up across the North West of | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
Scotland. For most of us, another chilly night and it rouble spots, | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
temperatures get a lot lower. -- in rural spots. There is a possible | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
warning from the Met Office. Check your local radio station in the | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
morning. From the Thames Valley into the Severn Valley and the Trent | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
Valley and around into parts of Merseyside, it could be quite nasty. | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
It went before the everywhere and there could be some sunshine in | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
places. Less fog further north. Cloud and breeze for Scotland and | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
rain across the Highlands and Islands. The rain won't go all that | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
far. It will stay across more western areas but the weather front | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
will work down across Scotland so more cloud around, though we could | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
seize and light brightness across the far north. Most of the sunshine | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
will be across Northern Ireland and England and Wales once the fog has | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
cleared. Fine, bright and pleasantly warm, into the mid and possibly high | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
teens in some places but cooler than today across Scotland with the cloud | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
around. Friday could be faulty across the southern half of the UK. | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
Another weather front opens bringing further rain and potentially strong | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
winds across the north and west of Scotland. For the weekend, it's | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
looking pretty good. Dry in most parts with sunshine around. | :27:14. | :27:16. |
