:00:00. > :00:08.The publicist Max Clifford is jailed for eight years for sexual assaults

:00:09. > :00:14.against teenage girls and women in the 70s and 80s. One last moment in

:00:15. > :00:16.the spotlight. Max Clifford was criticised by the judge for showing

:00:17. > :00:28.no remorse, just contemptuous behaviour in front of his victims.

:00:29. > :00:36.When I think of him, he makes me shudder and he makes me feel ill. So

:00:37. > :00:39.relieved, and so pleased that justice has been done.

:00:40. > :00:41.And tonight the BBC has learned that more alleged victims have come

:00:42. > :00:44.forward during the trial. Also tonight:

:00:45. > :00:48.Heavy gunfire in eastern Ukraine, as pro-Russian rebels shot down two

:00:49. > :00:52.army helicopters during a government offensive.

:00:53. > :00:56.As tension grows, Britain sends troops for a training exercise in

:00:57. > :00:59.the Baltics. Sinn Fein say police have asked for

:01:00. > :01:02.more time to question their leader, Gerry Adams, in connection with the

:01:03. > :01:06.IRA murder of Jean McConville in 1972.

:01:07. > :01:07.And the biggest ever survey health and lifestyles, to try to improve

:01:08. > :01:17.the lives of future generations. The Bank of England warns that the

:01:18. > :01:21.recent surge in house prices could end in a crash.

:01:22. > :01:22.16 months in jail for the judge who lied to police, but criticism that

:01:23. > :01:46.the sentence is racist. Good evening and welcome to the BBC

:01:47. > :01:48.News at Six. The celebrity publicist Max Clifford

:01:49. > :01:51.is beginning an eight-year jail sentence tonight for a string of

:01:52. > :01:55.indecent assaults against young girls and women in the 1970s and

:01:56. > :01:58.80s. Sentencing him, the judge told Max Clifford that his position in

:01:59. > :02:04.the entertainment world had meant that both he and his victims had

:02:05. > :02:05.thought he was untouchable. Our home affairs correspondent, June Kelly

:02:06. > :02:19.reports on a very public downfall. He arrived at court to face the

:02:20. > :02:24.usual media scrum, but today he knew that while he was walking in, he

:02:25. > :02:29.wouldn't be walking out. Max Clifford's whole career has been

:02:30. > :02:32.built on the media. Knowing he would be out of the spotlight for some

:02:33. > :02:38.time, he posed for the cameras for almost five minutes. No real

:02:39. > :02:45.comment, no apology to his victims, but there was a smile. The court was

:02:46. > :02:50.full. And at the side of the dock, watching Max Clifford, some of the

:02:51. > :02:55.women he had abused and assaulted. They were in tears as the eight year

:02:56. > :02:58.sentence was handed down. Judge Anthony Leonard said of the

:02:59. > :03:01.offences, the reason they were not brought to light sooner is because

:03:02. > :03:05.of your dominant character and your position in the world of

:03:06. > :03:08.entertainment, which meant your victims thought you were

:03:09. > :03:14.untouchable, something I judge that you, too, believed and traded upon.

:03:15. > :03:21.One of his youngest victims was 15, a child, when he groomed and abused

:03:22. > :03:24.her. I became very fearful of men and had some very difficult

:03:25. > :03:28.relationships because of that. I didn't really trust anybody. When I

:03:29. > :03:32.was seeing him on the television speaking to millions of people,

:03:33. > :03:38.telling them he was innocent, I did think, no one is going to believe

:03:39. > :03:43.me. Max Clifford was this thing Ghalib of public relations, exposing

:03:44. > :03:47.other people's sex secrets, like an affair with England manager Sven

:03:48. > :03:54.Goran Eriksson, and David Mellor's relationship with a woman which

:03:55. > :03:58.ended his ministerial career. After the Jimmy Savile scandal blew up,

:03:59. > :04:03.Clifford claimed celebrities were approaching him, fearful for their

:04:04. > :04:07.reputations. They have come to me for advice and guidance, because

:04:08. > :04:13.they say, if you suddenly hear our names, would you be kind enough to

:04:14. > :04:17.let us know. Weeks later, he was arrested. It is not fun, standing

:04:18. > :04:23.there being accused of being a fantasist and a liar. Even during

:04:24. > :04:27.the trial, he continued to play for the cameras. Today, the judge

:04:28. > :04:31.condemned this performance for trivialising the events. Scotland

:04:32. > :04:35.Yard released this mugshot. He is the first person convicted under

:04:36. > :04:39.Operation Yewtree. Nobody is above the law, and it does not matter when

:04:40. > :04:44.things happen, we will prosecute when we have the evidence to do so.

:04:45. > :04:50.The man used to travelling in his Bentley left court in a prison van.

:04:51. > :04:53.Max Clifford, protector and destroyer of reputations, brought

:04:54. > :04:56.down by a group of women he once controlled. They took control and

:04:57. > :05:00.refused to remain silent. And June is at Southwark Crown Court

:05:01. > :05:09.for us now. A tremendous fall from grace for Max Clifford and more

:05:10. > :05:14.complainants coming forward tonight. Yes, more complainants have come

:05:15. > :05:19.forward and police and prosecutors are now deciding how to proceed.

:05:20. > :05:22.Now, Max Clifford was sentenced under the penalties and the

:05:23. > :05:26.legislation which were in place when he committed the offences. If he had

:05:27. > :05:31.been sentenced under current legislation, he would have faced a

:05:32. > :05:35.far harsher jail term. Because of that, the judge said he was

:05:36. > :05:39.maximising the sentence he was imposing. Also, under current

:05:40. > :05:43.legislation, some of these offences he has been convicted of would today

:05:44. > :05:46.be classed as rape. Ukraine says pro-Russian groups have

:05:47. > :05:49.suffered what it called heavy losses during a government operation in a

:05:50. > :05:52.rebel held city in eastern Ukraine. The acting president says two

:05:53. > :05:57.Ukrainian soldiers were also killed and two government helicopters shot

:05:58. > :06:00.down. Ukrainian forces are reported to have taken control of a number of

:06:01. > :06:04.checkpoints around the city of Sloviansk, but the centre still

:06:05. > :06:07.appears to be in the hands of the rebels. President Obama says he's

:06:08. > :06:19.watching events in Ukraine with deep concern. Our special correspondent

:06:20. > :06:24.Fergal Keane is in Donetsk. All day long, government forces have

:06:25. > :06:29.been battling rebels in the city of Sloviansk. As ever, there has been a

:06:30. > :06:33.welter of claim and counterclaim. The government says it has killed,

:06:34. > :06:36.injured or arrested large numbers of rebels but we have no independent

:06:37. > :06:40.confirmation of that. What we know for certain is that this is a day

:06:41. > :06:49.when the state tried to reimpose its will on the rebellious East.

:06:50. > :06:55.This was the answer from the rebels to the government offensive,

:06:56. > :07:00.missiles that downed helicopter is. These were the instruments of state

:07:01. > :07:06.power. Two were brought crashing to the ground, two pilots killed.

:07:07. > :07:10.Here, a wounded crew member is helped by the rebels who captured

:07:11. > :07:14.him. It was an image that seemed to define a day in which the government

:07:15. > :07:19.yet again struggled in the face of determined opposition. The militants

:07:20. > :07:27.had been waiting for some move by the state. This, the masked face of

:07:28. > :07:32.a well-prepared insurgency. Don't stand behind me, he warns. Here,

:07:33. > :07:37.petrol bombs being prepared. Ammunition brought forward. And a

:07:38. > :07:45.promise of fire down the road any soldiers might come. But it was here

:07:46. > :07:51.on this bridge that Ukraine's army was confronted by its own citizens.

:07:52. > :07:57.Helicopters deployed troops onto this strategic crossing six miles

:07:58. > :08:05.from Sloviansk. But the people refused to allow them across. Firing

:08:06. > :08:11.in the air, they tried to push on, but it simply increased the emotion.

:08:12. > :08:15.This elderly man was but it simply increased the emotion.

:08:16. > :08:25.shock. But as the stalemate on the bridge deepened, we found a mood

:08:26. > :08:31.shock. But as the stalemate on the defiance. I am prepared to take the

:08:32. > :08:38.gun, if need, for my land, you understand me. The soldiers were

:08:39. > :08:42.nervous, far from Kiev and the government that is giving them

:08:43. > :08:46.orders. You don't seem to control very much here. What is happening?

:08:47. > :08:51.Pointing to the protesters, he told us, they are for Putin. The

:08:52. > :08:55.atmosphere on the bridge remains very tense. There is no obvious

:08:56. > :08:58.appetite for confrontation on the part of the troops but there is a

:08:59. > :09:02.great deal of anger among the pro-Russian demonstrators. Neither

:09:03. > :09:07.side knows where the military escalation is leading. Fergal

:09:08. > :09:10.Keane, BBC News, outside Sloviansk. In response to the crisis in

:09:11. > :09:12.Ukraine, Britain has joined with other NATO countries to provide

:09:13. > :09:15.extra security for Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. The Baltic states,

:09:16. > :09:19.all close to Russia, have no fighter aircraft. For years they've been

:09:20. > :09:22.dependent on the alliance for protection. Four RAF Typhoon

:09:23. > :09:27.fighters are part of a NATO force of 20 jets now guarding the Baltics.

:09:28. > :09:29.Today 100 British troops arrived in Estonia for a training exercise with

:09:30. > :09:34.that country's defence forces, along with the Defence Secretary Philip

:09:35. > :09:37.Hammond. Our defence correspondent Jonathan

:09:38. > :09:42.Beale was travelling with him and sent this report.

:09:43. > :09:46.These aren't the first British troops to ever step foot here, but

:09:47. > :09:52.they are the first to arrive in eastern Europe since the crisis in

:09:53. > :09:55.Ukraine began. And they are being met with open arms. Estonia, like

:09:56. > :10:01.Ukraine, was once a Soviet satellite state. They are nervous and they

:10:02. > :10:06.want reassurance. We sense that Estonia is not alone and our allies

:10:07. > :10:11.will be with us in the end. And that is important? I think it is always

:10:12. > :10:15.important. It is going to be another exercise, I think. Should the

:10:16. > :10:18.Russians be worried? I doubt it. We have nothing to do with them. We

:10:19. > :10:21.just work on the conscripts with the Estonians. But the welcoming

:10:22. > :10:23.committee and the presence of the Defence Secretary suggests this is

:10:24. > :10:26.more than just training, although they are just a few compared with

:10:27. > :10:33.the thousands of Western troops positioned in Europe during the Cold

:10:34. > :10:35.War. And few when compared to the massive Russian military build up,

:10:36. > :10:44.here doing their own training on Ukraine's eastern border. NATO has

:10:45. > :10:48.stepped up its air patrols of it eastern borders. Four RAF Typhoons,

:10:49. > :10:51.the latest warplanes to arrive in the Baltics, ready to intercept

:10:52. > :10:59.Russian bombers, as they did just one week ago off northern Scotland.

:11:00. > :11:04.But there is no desire for conflict, only to stop the instability

:11:05. > :11:08.spreading. We are all worried about what's happening in the Ukraine. And

:11:09. > :11:11.the point of our reinforcement of Baltic air policing and our dispatch

:11:12. > :11:14.of additional troops to exercises in Estonia is to make clear that we

:11:15. > :11:25.will stand by our commitments to NATO and allies. Britain and NATO

:11:26. > :11:29.say this is about reassurance, not provocation. But it's difficult to

:11:30. > :11:35.see how this increased military presence will calm rising tensions.

:11:36. > :11:39.This military build up is not on the same scale as the Cold War era, but

:11:40. > :11:48.it does have worrying echoes of the past. And no one knows how this will

:11:49. > :11:52.end. Jonathan Beale, BBC News. A part-time judge has been jailed

:11:53. > :11:55.for 16 months for lying to police investigating the Chris Huhne

:11:56. > :11:58.speeding points scandal. Barrister Constance Briscoe was convicted of

:11:59. > :12:01.three counts of perverting the course of justice after an inquiry

:12:02. > :12:07.into how former Cabinet minister Mr Huhne passed speeding points to his

:12:08. > :12:10.then wife Vicky Pryce a decade ago. Sentencing her, the judge said the

:12:11. > :12:16.three had shown an "arrogance" in thinking that respect for the law

:12:17. > :12:19.was for others. Sinn Fein says police in Northern

:12:20. > :12:22.Ireland are asking a judge for more time to question their leader, Gerry

:12:23. > :12:26.Adams, in connection with one of the most notorious murders during the

:12:27. > :12:31.Troubles. Jean McConville, a mother of ten, was shot by the IRA in 1972.

:12:32. > :12:33.Mr Adams, who denies any involvement, voluntarily presented

:12:34. > :12:37.himself for questioning in Antrim on Wednesday. Our Ireland

:12:38. > :12:46.correspondent, Chris Buckler reports.

:12:47. > :12:50.A leading politician and a man who has been stated as a peacemaker, but

:12:51. > :12:56.Gerry Adams has been in police custody, under questioning, four

:12:57. > :13:00.hours, about a murder committed in 1972. Jean McConville's family say

:13:01. > :13:06.the time since her killing has gone anything but quickly for them.

:13:07. > :13:10.People like me are left living the life we live because we can't move

:13:11. > :13:15.on because of what happened. Helen is just one of Jean McConville's ten

:13:16. > :13:20.children. She is pictured with her mother, in the only photograph that

:13:21. > :13:24.still exists of a woman murdered by the IRA, a widow dragged out of her

:13:25. > :13:28.home and killed in secret, leaving her family without a parent. Gerry

:13:29. > :13:34.Adams has all was denied being involved in the murder, but Helen

:13:35. > :13:44.has been vocal in her belief that he was. What I feel about him, he is

:13:45. > :13:52.now a top politician and he thinks he is God, really, untouchable. But

:13:53. > :13:58.if he is not charged today with the murder of my mother, I'm hoping to

:13:59. > :14:03.take civil action. Gerry Adams' arrest has made international

:14:04. > :14:06.headlines. In his years as a politician he has shared the

:14:07. > :14:10.spotlight with world leaders. Among the allegations he is being

:14:11. > :14:13.questioned about our claims made by the late IRA commander Brendan

:14:14. > :14:18.Hughes, recorded by researchers from Boston College. There is only one

:14:19. > :14:23.man who gave the order for that woman to be executed. That man is

:14:24. > :14:27.now the head of Sinn Fein. The decision to arrest a leading

:14:28. > :14:30.politician was always going to be controversial, particularly in

:14:31. > :14:33.Northern Ireland, a place where the relationship between policing and

:14:34. > :14:38.politics can be fraught. It is now known that David Cameron has spoken

:14:39. > :14:43.to both Northern Ireland's first and Deputy First Minister while Mr Adams

:14:44. > :14:46.has been in custody. The Prime Minister and I appreciate the

:14:47. > :14:51.sensitivity and seriousness of this situation, which is why he was

:14:52. > :14:56.engaging with the first and Deputy First Minister. But Sinn Fein anger

:14:57. > :15:00.at the arrest and the police ahead of elections across the island of

:15:01. > :15:06.Ireland could not be more obvious. There is a group in the PSNI who

:15:07. > :15:11.have a different agenda. And it is a negative and destructive agenda to

:15:12. > :15:15.both the peace process and to Sinn Fein. Detectives say they have a

:15:16. > :15:19.duty to investigate the murder of a woman who was one of the

:15:20. > :15:24.disappeared, evil ab ducted and killed in secret, past crimes that

:15:25. > :15:27.can't be forgotten. Our top story this evening: The

:15:28. > :15:30.publicist Max Clifford is jailed for eight years for sexual assaults

:15:31. > :15:38.against teenage girls and women. And still to come: half a million

:15:39. > :15:45.people's DNA samples are stored And still to come: half a million

:15:46. > :15:49.in trays like this at -80 degrees. We go inside the fridge that could

:15:50. > :15:52.help improve the health of future generations.

:15:53. > :15:55.On BBC London: The award-winning head teacher who faces a ban after

:15:56. > :15:58.spending school money on herself. And a tense weekend for Millwall

:15:59. > :16:17.fans as the club fights to avoid relegation.

:16:18. > :16:21.Now, should the Government have more powers to get involved when British

:16:22. > :16:24.companies face foreign takeover bids? The American firm Pfizer has

:16:25. > :16:26.tried to create one of the world's biggest companies by making yet

:16:27. > :16:29.another multi-billion pound bid for the British pharmaceutical firm

:16:30. > :16:31.AstraZeneca. It's been rejected for now. But critics fear that if

:16:32. > :16:35.they're ultimately successful, it could mean big job cuts in the UK

:16:36. > :16:43.and dent the influence of Britain's science sector. Our business editor

:16:44. > :16:48.Kamal Ahmed reports. It is more compact than courtship.

:16:49. > :16:53.Two giants circling each other wondering who will conduct the

:16:54. > :16:58.winner. Today Pfizer was rebuffed for the second time. Many predict it

:16:59. > :17:01.will be back with another offer. With thousands of jobs at stake,

:17:02. > :17:08.this is far more than a simple business deal. My job is to protect

:17:09. > :17:11.the UK's interest. I want to see great science in Britain and great

:17:12. > :17:17.medicines delivered and great jobs in these industries in Britain. That

:17:18. > :17:24.is why we have sought and received robust assurances from cork if a

:17:25. > :17:31.deal were to go ahead. -- from Pfizer. Pfizer employs 70,000 people

:17:32. > :17:38.around the world including 2500 in the UK. It has sales of ?31 billion

:17:39. > :17:46.last year. AstraZeneca employs 50,000 people including over 6000 in

:17:47. > :17:51.the UK. Together, they would become the biggest drugs company in the

:17:52. > :17:55.world. I am at AstraZeneca's headquarters in London. They occupy

:17:56. > :17:57.the top three floors of this building. These businesses

:17:58. > :18:00.manufacture businesses of building. These businesses

:18:01. > :18:06.worth of drugs for millions of patients every year, from headache

:18:07. > :18:10.tablets to cancer treatments. AstraZeneca alone accounts for a 2%

:18:11. > :18:16.of all goods exported from the UK. That is why the deal is so important

:18:17. > :18:20.politically. Critics say Pfizer's previous takeover deals have led to

:18:21. > :18:27.cost cutting. We have a British company being turned around with

:18:28. > :18:30.good drugs coming along and an attempted takeover by a company

:18:31. > :18:39.takeovers and then stripping out the takeovers and then stripping out the

:18:40. > :18:45.stripping deal intellectual -- the intellectual property. Pfizer

:18:46. > :18:50.pledged to the Prime Minister that manufacturing jobs would stay in the

:18:51. > :18:54.UK. It was only last week that the Chancellor was in Cambridge where

:18:55. > :18:58.AstraZeneca plans to build its new headquarters. He was speaking about

:18:59. > :19:04.the importance of science research to the UK. The Treasury will

:19:05. > :19:08.certainly put any new offer to close examination.

:19:09. > :19:12.Two schoolgirls have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit

:19:13. > :19:19.murder following an incident at a school in Caerphilly in South Wales.

:19:20. > :19:21.The teenagers aged 14 and 15 were arrested at a school yesterday

:19:22. > :19:24.following concerns about their behaviour. Our Wales correspondent

:19:25. > :19:30.Hywel Griffith has been following the story and joins us now. Hywel,

:19:31. > :19:34.what more can you tell us? I understand the officers were called

:19:35. > :19:40.to Cwmcarn High School yesterday because of concern over two of its

:19:41. > :19:48.pupils. The girls were arrested on school grounds and questioned. The

:19:49. > :19:54.15-year-old was questioned about threats to kill. The 14-year-old was

:19:55. > :19:58.also questioned on the same potential charge. The police

:19:59. > :20:03.stressed no harm was caused and no confrontation took place. We

:20:04. > :20:07.understand the potential target was to be a teacher at the school. Today

:20:08. > :20:13.in a letter to parents, the headteacher has stressed Cwmcarn

:20:14. > :20:21.High School is a safe environment for pupils. Teaching unions have

:20:22. > :20:25.told us their members at the school have been shocked and concerned by

:20:26. > :20:32.the incident. It comes at the end of the week which saw a teacher lose

:20:33. > :20:36.her life in Leeds. The pupils have been bailed pending further

:20:37. > :20:37.investigations. David Cameron has launched the

:20:38. > :20:40.Conservatives' local election campaign, emphasising what he called

:20:41. > :20:44.the great British recovery which he said would be put at risk by voting

:20:45. > :20:48.for other parties. With the European elections at the same time, he used

:20:49. > :20:51.the launch to re-affirm the Tories' commitment to offering an in-out

:20:52. > :21:00.referendum of EU membership. Our deputy political editor James

:21:01. > :21:04.Landale reports. David Cameron says that a great

:21:05. > :21:09.British revival is taking place in warehouses like this up and down the

:21:10. > :21:12.country. There are new jobs and investment that he says only the

:21:13. > :21:15.Conservatives would protect. Along with the promise of lower council

:21:16. > :21:21.taxes and yes I met a referendum on Europe. Whatever it takes, I will

:21:22. > :21:28.deliver the referendum. Labour will not. UKIP can't. I will. I would not

:21:29. > :21:34.be Prime Minister of a government unless we could carry out our pledge

:21:35. > :21:39.of an in-out referendum. UKIP, he said, was all talk and no delivery.

:21:40. > :21:46.UKIP, frankly I do not need to discredit Europe. -- discredit UKIP.

:21:47. > :21:57.It was a message some of the workers he met here liked but not all. I do

:21:58. > :22:02.not trust them. Him or them? The Conservatives. I have got to wait

:22:03. > :22:08.and see if he delivers what he says. I thought it was positive. I am an

:22:09. > :22:14.apprentice and I felt the benefits from having job security. At a theme

:22:15. > :22:20.park just down the road, there was some support for the Conservatives,

:22:21. > :22:24.but also doubt about just which way they were heading. David Cameron is

:22:25. > :22:32.promising a referendum. Do you trust him to deliver on that? Note. Why

:22:33. > :22:40.not estimate historical reasons. They have not materialised. That is

:22:41. > :22:43.why you are going to vote UKIP? Yes. Do you trust David Cameron to

:22:44. > :22:50.deliver on the referendum? Hopefully. Do you think he will

:22:51. > :22:56.stick to what he says? I would like to think so. He needs to come out

:22:57. > :23:02.with definite policies. I do not think a referendum will satisfy the

:23:03. > :23:08.public. The Tories have said their poll ratings will rise when the

:23:09. > :23:16.economy recovers. But many voters still seem cautious and they do not

:23:17. > :23:18.want to get taken for a ride. And you can find details about the

:23:19. > :23:21.election campaigns of other political parties, together with a

:23:22. > :23:26.detailed guide to the BBC's election coverage if you go to

:23:27. > :23:29.bbc.co.uk/news. Why do some people get sick while

:23:30. > :23:31.others live to a healthy old age? That's what the world's biggest

:23:32. > :23:35.body-scanning project getting under way near Manchester is trying to

:23:36. > :23:37.work out. It's part of UK Biobank which is examining how our health is

:23:38. > :23:52.affected by lifestyle, environment and genes. 100,000 volunteers will

:23:53. > :23:55.undergo detailed scans. They are from half million adults aged

:23:56. > :23:57.between 40 and 69 who've already supplied their DNA. Among the

:23:58. > :24:00.diseases being studied are cancer, heart disease and dementia. Our

:24:01. > :24:03.medical correspondent Fergus Walsh was the first person to be scanned

:24:04. > :24:12.and joins us live from inside a freezer at the UK Biobank

:24:13. > :24:19.headquarters in Stockport. Sophie, this freezer contains my DNA and

:24:20. > :24:28.that of all 500,000 volunteers. Perfectly preserved at minus 80

:24:29. > :24:31.degrees. In addition to this huge genetic database, scientists have

:24:32. > :24:36.detailed lifestyle information on volunteers and soon they will have

:24:37. > :24:45.thousands of medical scans as well. Keep still. Heart, brain, bones,

:24:46. > :24:50.even fat content. Every part of the body will be imaged for this

:24:51. > :24:55.ambitious project. I am the first of 100,000 people who will be invited

:24:56. > :25:02.to undergo the tests. The MRI scans will yield a huge amount of data.

:25:03. > :25:05.The goal is clear. We will understand better the causes of a

:25:06. > :25:10.wide range of different diseases. The brain scans may help us to

:25:11. > :25:13.understand the causes of dementia and other types of cognitive

:25:14. > :25:17.decline. Looking at the heart may give us an idea about why it is

:25:18. > :25:24.certain people develop heart disease in the long-term, heart failure. UK

:25:25. > :25:27.Biobank scientists have begun analysing the DNA from volunteers.

:25:28. > :25:32.This will be cross-referenced with the scans and with information about

:25:33. > :25:43.diet, fitness and health records and cognitive tests. The results should

:25:44. > :25:47.give insights into many diseases. This woman hopes the research will

:25:48. > :25:52.help explain why she got Alzheimer's disease at just 52. It affects her

:25:53. > :25:57.short-term memory and she can get lost when out shopping. My father

:25:58. > :26:03.had this before me. His lifestyle like mine, there was nothing wrong

:26:04. > :26:09.with it. I cannot identify what caused it for him or me. We need to

:26:10. > :26:13.identify if there are any common dominators which give us a clue as

:26:14. > :26:18.to what may be the cause of this. The project is not a health check.

:26:19. > :26:23.Volunteers will not see the scans. But if a potentially serious problem

:26:24. > :26:28.like a tumour is spotted, that will be fed back. You can see the fluid

:26:29. > :26:39.filled spaces... It could mean early diagnosis but also cause alarm. Some

:26:40. > :26:43.Junor -- some tumours are not amenable to treatment. It can create

:26:44. > :26:48.worry and a negative impact on travel and life insurance. UK

:26:49. > :26:52.Biobank is an example of altruism. Volunteers know it is not their

:26:53. > :26:57.health but that of future generations that will benefit from

:26:58. > :26:59.this ground-breaking project. Bank holiday ahead. What is the

:27:00. > :27:11.weather going to be we are going to it with high

:27:12. > :27:14.pressure. But it will come under attack from rain bearing weather

:27:15. > :27:18.systems from the Atlantic, particularly affecting the north and

:27:19. > :27:22.west of the UK. The first of those is going to bring some cloud into

:27:23. > :27:29.the far West, maybe a few spots of rain to Cornwall. But most places

:27:30. > :27:33.are not just dry but clear and unusually cold for the time of year.

:27:34. > :27:40.Colder in the countryside last night. In Highland Scotland minus

:27:41. > :27:45.four. But sunspots in southern England may be as low as minus two.

:27:46. > :27:51.A cold start to the weekend. A lot of sunshine from the word go. But

:27:52. > :27:54.then this weather system from the Atlantic comes in, thickening the

:27:55. > :27:57.cloud and bringing rain to Northern Ireland and west of Scotland in the

:27:58. > :28:04.afternoon. Ahead of that, it stays dry. Sunny spells. In the sunshine,

:28:05. > :28:09.it will feel warmer. Sunday, not as cold to start. But a lot of cloud

:28:10. > :28:16.across the UK. For the northern part, outbreaks of rain. Still warm

:28:17. > :28:21.sunny spells in the South. Some uncertainty about the bank all day.

:28:22. > :28:26.How quickly will the weather system bring rain into the West? We need to

:28:27. > :28:30.cater for increasing cloud in the West. There may be rain for Northern

:28:31. > :28:36.Ireland and western Scotland. The best of Monday's whether more likely

:28:37. > :28:40.for southern and eastern areas. Warmer too. Temperature is mounting

:28:41. > :28:46.a recovery. Not just in the south-east, but parts of Scotland

:28:47. > :28:50.could see 17, 18 degrees. We will keep you updated online.

:28:51. > :28:51.That is all from
