Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

At least ten people are dead and some 80 injured in one

of Germany's worst train crashes for years.

Two trains collided head-on early this morning when commuters

Investigators will be looking at why an automatic braking system was not

triggered but the first task is to take care of the survivors.

The crash happened in a heavily wooded area in the Bavarian

Jenny Hill is in Bad Aibling near the crash site.

Yes, what began today this morning as a routine early morning commute

for more than 100 people ended here in horror. Hundreds of people have

today been involved with a search and rescue operation and now the

investigation into what is one of the worst rail crashes to take place

in Germany for many years. On a quiet commuter line the

violence of a head-on collision. Inside the carriages chaos. This

footage was taken just moments after the trains slammed into each other.

I can't move my arm, one woman shouts. Don't worry, another

passenger replies, the police will be here soon.

The man who took this video escaped unhurt. There was blood everywhere.

Because some people flew away and some hit their head on chairs or

windows or armrest or something. A difficult rescue. The train line

runs between a wooded hillside and a river. Easier to carry the dead and

injured away by air or even water. TRANSLATION: The collision was

head-on and high speed. The speed limit at the site is around 100

kilometres an hour. There is a bend in that stretch of track so you have

to assume the train drivers had little or any eye contact before the

collision. Investigators have recovered two of three black boxes

from the wreckage. The crash happened on a single track. Trains

use a nearby station where there is a double track as a passing place.

There is an automatic braking system here too designed to halt any train

which crosses a stop signal. Joe, a regular commuter, told us his

train usually stops and waits for the oncoming train to pass. This

morning, he said, was different. Normally we - the train has to wait

for five minutes for the oncoming train. Three minutes, waiting three

minutes, the carriages suddenly set off. This has horrified Germany. A

country where rail crashes are relatively rare. The German

Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has said she's saddened and shocked by what's

happened. Bear this in mind too, it's the school holidays, people

here tell us that on a morning these trains would have been

full of school children. As the light fades, the work

continues. It will be weeks, perhaps months, before we really know what

happened here. As you can see, that work continues

tonight. One person is still said to be missing. Ten people are now

reported dead. A further 18 people are still said to be critically

injured. It's feared that the death toll here may yet rise.

Age UK and the energy company E.On have suspended their partnership

after criticism that elderly customers weren't getting

The charity is accused of receiving millions of pounds every year

in return for recommending expensive E.On tariffs.

The deal is being investigated by the industry watchdog.

It's the charity which makes millions of pounds from selling

but after allegations that gas and electricity customers

were overpaying it's called a halt to its energy offer.

The head of Age UK's commercial activities told me his critics

were wrong to say his two-year fixed rate energy deal was too expensive

Every Age UK customer moves to E.On and has a full description

of all the tariffs available to them.

So you're not sorry that they might have got a cheaper deal elsewhere?

In terms of a cheaper deal, you cannot compare a one-year fixed

term deal with a two-year fixed term deal.

This point seems to have been lost in the media.

The two-year deal from energy giant E.On had the average user paying

The Sun newspaper calculated that was ?245 more for some users

than E.On's cheapest rate and Age UK received ?6 million from working

just with E.On, including ?10 per sale.

People will say that you were cosying up to one company

so it was just one company's products.

We choose carefully E.On as an organisation

We will still be with E.On today if they're able to provide that same

Yet, customers have been complaining and the energy firm behind the Sun's

claims says Age UK should offer more choice.

They shouldn't squander the position and the trust they have.

Because if they start to show every deal on the market and encourage

people to move, they could really transform the British energy market

E.On admits its price would actually have gone up tonight if sales

It says they'll now pause and reflect on what to do next.

They're sick and they're vulnerable and yet 500 people a month

with mental health problems in England are being sent more

than 30 miles from their home for treatment.

The author of an independent inquiry said the practice was unacceptable

I knew I needed help. I knew I wasn't myself at all. I had a

newborn baby. I couldn't even look after myself never mind a baby.

Three months after Daniel's birth Sineal developed post natal

depression. She felt overwhelmed, hopeless. She sought help. But no

hospital beds were available locally in York so Sinead was sent to

Northumberland, 100 miles away. I felt totally isolated. I felt lost

and really stunned why I was there. Nothing familiar. I didn't know

anyone. I knew if I had been in York I would have had family and friends

to come and visit, to support me and encourage me to get better. You say

you almost felt as though you were being punished for being ill? Yes t

did feel like a punishment, as if I had done something wrong. I just

felt that, you know, we're going backwards instead of forwards. Why

are we sending our mothers 100 miles away to get treatment in this day

and age? The mother and baby unit in York

closed in 2010, before Sinead fell ill. Last October, the whole

hospital was shut down. Inspectors closed it in a matter of days,

finding it unfit for purpose. The closure of this hospital means there

are now no acute NHS hospital beds in York. Since October, nearly 100

patients have had to go elsewhere to get essential care, forced to travel

in moments of crisis. Today's report estimates that each

month 500 patients travel more than 30 miles for essential care.

Research carried out last year found one patient had been taken Bristol

to Livingston, 370 miles, and another from Cumbria to London, a

distance of 270 miles. Too many people are taken too far to

receive treatment. If somebody had a stroke or a heart attack and this is

the sort of physical equivalent of some of the severely mentally ill

people I am talking about, they would be treated locally and

quickly. For decades, the NHS has been closing psychiatric wards. The

demand for help is on the rise, so patients are being forced to travel.

Ministers haven't committed to ending the practice within 18 months

as today's report recommends, but in the Commons today the support of the

-- they supported the principle. We want to reduce out of area

placements and the NHS is working on that to move to a definitive target

to reduce that. Hopefully eventually to scrap it. Sinead has fully

recovered and campaigns for local mother and babup units, committed to

ensuring no other families are split by poor provision. No matter how low

you can be, you do recover but I look back and think it was a

terrible time. A police officer and a community

support officer have been jailed for misconduct following

the vigilante murder Bijan Ebrahimi was beaten to death

and his body set on fire by a neighbour who wrongly believed

he was a paedophile. The judge said the two officers had

regarded Mr Ebrahimi as a nuisance and had not done

enough to protect him. The race to be the next President

of the United States People in the key state

of New Hampshire have started to cast their votes to choose

candidates for both Republicans Our North America editor Jon Sopel

is live in the city of Manchester, Welcome to this polling station

where they're talking about record turnouts. If you had said a few

months ago that two outsiders, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders

would be the winners of the New Hampshire primary, people would have

said you were crazy. But it's a mark of the disillusionment felt for

mainstream politicians and Washington politics that that seems

to be the most likely outcome. I hear we're going to do well,

but the snow is out there. But in the blizzard of predictions

about New Hampshire, the one constant has been the real

estate mogul in the lead. In the polls no-one is even close,

which makes the battle all the more intense for which mainstream

Republican is going to take him on. Senator Marco Rubio,

young, emerged from On the streets of New Hampshire

he's faced protesters. But at the weekend, in the final

televised Republican debate, he was subject to a brutal

political mugging. You see everybody I want the people

at home to think about this. The drive-by shot at the beginning

with incorrect and incomplete information and then

the memorised 25-second speech. That is exactly what they just gave

you. The kicking came from the New Jersey

governor, Chris Christie. I spoke to him last night

about what impact his It makes a big change

to the entire race. There was a march by the media

towards Senator Rubio, that march is now over

because they know he's not ready. Has it risen for

governor Christie then? But all that is now in the hands

of these people - the voters. Donald Trump has led hear

in New Hampshire in every His challenge today is to turn

a poll lead into actual votes, something he failed

to do in Iowa last week. On the Democrat side, Bernie Sanders

has a similar challenge. But this is a state that has

a history of springing surprises. This is the fervour that you find

at a Bernie Sanders rally, young people, and the not so young,

believing that a different type of politics is possible

Manchester New Hampshire. At least 10 people have been killed

after two trains were involved in a head-on collision

in southern Germany. As junior doctors prepare to strike

again, what's the truth behind the Government's claim that you're

more likely to die if admitted Coming up on Reporting

Scotland at 6.30pm. We speak to some of the people

who live and work along the A9 in the first of a series of special

reports on Scotland's longest road. And, Scottish music stalwarts Runrig

tell us why they're calling Electric power generated

by exploiting the ebb and flow That's the revolutionary idea behind

the Swansea Tidal Lagoon, but construction has been put

on hold because the company behind it is still waiting to find out how

much money the Government will put Here's Hywell Griffith

on what should be a world Yes, a world first. It has been many

years in planning, followed by many months in stalled negotiations over

how much public money the Government would be prepared to put behind it.

The company behind the project tell me they now need a decision in a

matter of weeks if it's to go-ahead. They face questions about whether

the expense of subsidising sea power is a cost bill payers are prepared

to face. The endless ebb and flow that could be powering homes.

Tapping into tidal power isn't new, but what's being planned here would

be a world first. The building of an artificial lagoon with turbines in

the sea wall would be the first of six around Britain. It's claimed

that together they could generate 8% of the UK's electricity. After a

year of Government negotiations, the company says it now needs an answer

in weeks. The eyes of the world are on Swansea Basically bay. We have a

project that is ready to start. We have a turbine and generator

industry that is primed to deliver the project. And, to be in the water

behind us, one year from now, takes one year of preparation. Building a

world first clearly doesn't come cheap. The cost of this lagoon has

already doubled to ?1 billion. The company say it is can't go-ahead

without a Government subsidy, but that would mean adding to the

electricity bills of every household in Britain. How expensive would it

be? Is the company was looking to sell its electricity for ?168 per

megawatt hour, subsidised by the Government for 35 years. That was

higher than the ?92. 50 agreed for the new nuclear reactor at Hinkley.

The latest price for tidal could be down to ?96. 50 but a subsidy

lasting for # 0 years. Some say it's still a bad deal. Will prove to It

be potentially the most expensive form of producing electricity that

the Government could possibly support -- 90. It should

the Government could possibly to the energy company themselves on

how they will meet the nation's electricity needs. This factory

another 100 employees are under threat. Working on the tidal lagoon

could spark opts missism. We can see know other attractions coming

forward to employ the skilled people into this new industry. It's

fabulous opportunity. The Government says it is still considering if the

lagoon is in the best interests of bill payers as it tries to decide if

it wants to take the plunge. Junior doctors in England will stage

their second strike tomorrow. Last minute talks have failed

to produce agreement over how doctors should be paid

of deaths occur at weekends because staffing is lower,

but critics have accused him Today, both sides

were blaming each other industrial action which will affect

all non-emergency services. I urge the BMA to put

the interests of patients first. We've presented to the Government

in this dispute and Sunday services,

including controversial references to weekend death rates

to back that up. in the 2013-14 year suggests

there were 11,000 excess deaths between Friday and Monday

compared to mid-week. For Saturday admissions,

there was a 10% higher risk of death than those on a Wednesday

and for Sunday, a 15% higher risk. The 11,000 is the headline number

that says, you know, we've really got a problem

and we have got a problem. While he says it's a problem,

he does not say doctors staffing We say quite clearly in the paper

that it would be rash and misleading to think that we could prevent

all of these deaths. What we need to do is to understand

their cause and ensure that people Another statistic used

by Ministers in this dispute Research suggests there's a 20%

higher risk of death for patients admitted at weekends

than in mid-week. Stroke experts, though,

say that since that research care has been reorganised

at hospitals like this one, Charing Cross in London,

and at these centres there's no longer a weekend effect

on survival rates. We've introduced a system

where patients are admitted at any time of the day or night directly

to a specialist stroke unit called We no longer have a difference

in mortality at the weekends compared to the week days and this

is without changing junior There are a number of possible

reasons for higher deaths for general weekend admissions,

including availability of equipment NHS leaders are still trying

to work out why. Junior doctors say it isn't anything

other news stories around the UK. After a bitter dispute it looks

tonight that every council in Scotland will accept the Holyrood

government's funding deal. It means council tax will be frozen

for the ninth year in a row. Many authorities say the deal

will result in hundreds of millions The Irish Football Association have

been "inundated" with calls from angry Northern Ireland fans

who've missed out on tickets They say loyal supporters should

have been on a priority list as a reward for attending

more qualifying games. Fans of the Wales team have

complained of the same problem. Would you or have you allowed your

10, 11 or 12-year-old to use You shouldn't because the minimum

age is 13 and yet a survey commissioned by BBC's Newsround,

to mark Safer Internet Day, has found that more than three-quarters

of 10-12-year-olds have Facebook, Instagram and YouTube,

some of the world's most successful online companies. Some of the most

popular with 10-12-year-olds. That's dispute rules saying you need to be

13 or over to sign-up. Why are they so popular? We asked children at

this school in the north-east of England. I signed up to Facebook

because I try to talk to my friends outside of school if I couldn't see

them in person. I use Instagram because it's really easy to get in

touch with your friends. I have Instagram, I just use that to share

photos. You sound nice. Would you send me a selfie? Lynette Smith

advises children on internet safety. Today, she is talking to seven and

eight-year-olds about staying safe online. We actually know that Tessa

common place that we will have under 13s that are using social media.

It's far too easy to just set up an account. In our experience, it's a

lot of parents that are setting up their children's accounts. While the

survey found most children had positive experiences online, more

than one in five 10-12-year-olds with a social media account said

they had been bullied. One of my friends has been quite badly bullied

on a social networking site. It affected her quite bad. She has

never been on it since. I've never seen bullying going on. I haven't

been bullied. I haven't seen anyone. I know it can happen and it can be

really bad. Are social networks doing enough themselves to help

prevent bully from their sites. They have places where you can report

bullying. A third of 10-128-year-olds said they couldn't

don't take bullying seriously enough. We spoke to Snapchat and

Facebook, they didn't want to do an interview. Instagram said safety was

its number one priority and it worked closely with experts. With so

many ignoring restrictions, many believe more effort is needed to

enforce them. There's more information on that

story on the Newsround website, including advice for children on how

to stay safe online. Andy Murray has a new title

to add to the list - His wife, Kim Sears,

gave birth to a girl The couple have been together

since they were teenagers and were married last year

in his home town of Dunblane. It's a town that's carried

Andy Murray through every stage of his life and today is sharing

in his family's joy. Only last year crowds gathered

at Dunblane Cathedral It was just a few months after this

that Kim's pregnancy was announced. His granny is overjoyed that she's

now a great grandmother. Oh, well, absolutely delighted,

as you can imagine. It seems a long time that we've

been waiting for this, As far as I know. I don't have any

details. I have a great granddaughter - that's lovely. Local

people are overjoyed. I'm glad he made his

Australian trip in time. Held on she did, it's little more

than a week since Murray sent this message to his wife at the end

of the Australian Open. You've been a legend the last two

weeks, thank you so much News of the birth is still rippling

through Andy Murray's home town, but it's clear their

delight is being shared. Typical February weather. We have

snow. This picture taken this afternoon from Tredegar in the Welsh

Valleys. You can see the white stuff in Wales. The showers moving down

towards the south-east as we go through this evening. There are

clearer skies around. Actually, as we go through the night, we will see

many of us turning dry, but still showers to be had. A band of showers

moving across southern counties. Behind that clearer skies. Wintry

showers to the north of Scotland. It will be a cold one. There will be

ice around first thing in the morning, across the heart of

Scotland, Northern Ireland prone as well. Those are the wintry showers

to the north of Scotland. Lots of bright, crisp weather, a feel good

start to the day for many of us. Sunshine across western parts of

England and Wales, but showers first thing across parts of the

south-east, they will drift away, the sun should come out. Showers to

Devon and Cornwall, that will keep going throughout the day on a

blustery wind. Wintry showers to the north of Scotland. Elsewhere a lot

of dry, bright sunny weather. Showers sinking down from the Irish

Sea into the north-West Midlands. Will you have to wear layers in the

breeze, in the sunshine it will feel better, five to nine degrees.

Thursday, another chilly start, watch out for ice, a lot of dry

weather around on Thursday, bar the odd wintry shower, most likely to

north-eastern parts of Scotland. It gets interesting as we end the week,

low pressure comes steaming in off the Atlantic pushing into the UK. It

will push into cold air. It will be a cold and windy weekend. Rain in

the south and a risk of some the south and a risk of some of that

turning to snow. Watch this space. Thank you very much. That's all.

It's goodbye from me and on BBC One we can now join the BBC's
