:00:07. > :00:13.A fresh wave of strikes in England. Junior doctors say they will strike

:00:14. > :00:18.three more times in March and April. As the bitter feud intensifies,

:00:19. > :00:20.the doctors' union says it's seeking a judicial review into

:00:21. > :00:30.the Government's plans Junior doctors up and down this

:00:31. > :00:33.country have told us they are extremely disappointed with how the

:00:34. > :00:38.government has handled this situation. The government says this

:00:39. > :00:40.means tens of thousands of patients will have operations cancelled.

:00:41. > :00:44.Also tonight on the programme tonight, breaking news.

:00:45. > :00:45.An explosion at Didcot power station in Oxfordshire.

:00:46. > :00:53.A major incident is declared amid reports of several casualties.

:01:02. > :01:07.And a new gorilla in our midst after Bristol zoo calls

:01:08. > :01:12.in a hospital surgeon to carry out a rare emergency c-section

:01:13. > :01:20.After months of negotiation an agreement is finally reached

:01:21. > :01:22.between the Scottish and UK governments over future

:01:23. > :01:35.And a warning that the oil and gas industry is facing a collapse in

:01:36. > :01:41.investment. Good evening and welcome

:01:42. > :01:44.to the BBC News at Six. Junior doctors in England have

:01:45. > :01:46.announced three more strikes as part of their fight against

:01:47. > :01:48.the Government's decision to impose The strikes are planned

:01:49. > :01:53.for March and April. But emergency care

:01:54. > :02:00.will still be provided. The doctors' union,

:02:01. > :02:02.the British Medical Association, also says it will seek a judicial

:02:03. > :02:08.review of the Government's plans. Tonight the Department of Health

:02:09. > :02:11.said strike action was completely unnecessary and will mean tens

:02:12. > :02:26.of thousands more patients It is the latest stage in a long and

:02:27. > :02:33.increasingly bitter dispute. Junior doctors in England have already

:02:34. > :02:36.staged two one day strikes affecting nonurgent care, and they have now

:02:37. > :02:40.announced another series of walk-outs. The rows over a new

:02:41. > :02:44.contract and what it means for working hours and pay. After months

:02:45. > :02:48.of talks negotiations stalled. Jeremy Hunt said he would impose the

:02:49. > :02:52.new contract from August. I have spent the last week going up and

:02:53. > :02:56.down this country, talking to thousands of junior doctors. They

:02:57. > :02:59.have all said that what we want is a negotiated, their contract. The

:03:00. > :03:04.government refuses to do that, unfortunately. The strike dates

:03:05. > :03:09.would involve 48 hour walk-outs, rather than 24 as before. The first

:03:10. > :03:22.will run from 8am on the 9th of March until the 11th of March.

:03:23. > :03:28.As before, junior doctors will not provide routine care but will still

:03:29. > :03:31.cover emergencies. The BMA said it would also go to the High Court

:03:32. > :03:35.seeking a judicial review of the decision by ministers to impose a

:03:36. > :03:46.new contract. The BMA argues that the government have not conducted a

:03:47. > :03:50.legally required impact. Jeremy Hunt said it would see higher pay and

:03:51. > :04:11.reduced hours for many junior doctors. Reacting to the BMA move...

:04:12. > :04:18.In another development, the health safety expert has advised the

:04:19. > :04:21.government in the past and says the NHS should find a way out of the

:04:22. > :04:26.mess and the government should apologise. But he added that junior

:04:27. > :04:29.doctors should engage with future NHS planning. With the next Reich

:04:30. > :04:32.just over two weeks away, feelings are running as high as ever. -- with

:04:33. > :04:44.the next strike. This is just intensifying, isn't it?

:04:45. > :04:48.It looks like it. The strikes will be longer than the ones before.

:04:49. > :04:52.Junior doctors will still cover emergencies. The BMA will go to

:04:53. > :04:56.court to challenge the legality of the imposition of this new contract.

:04:57. > :05:03.They and their members seem as resolved as ever to carry on.

:05:04. > :05:07.Equally, the government say they have gone a long way to make

:05:08. > :05:12.compromises. They are frustrated with the BMA's negotiating tactics,

:05:13. > :05:16.they say, and they have to get on and introduce this new contract. The

:05:17. > :05:19.Department of Health have said that the strikes are necessary, there

:05:20. > :05:23.will be tens of thousands more cancelled operations affecting

:05:24. > :05:27.patients in England. It looks like the sides are as far apart as ever

:05:28. > :05:28.with no signs at this stage, of further talks taking place.

:05:29. > :05:38.Thanks very much. A major incident has been declared

:05:39. > :05:42.at Didcot power station in Oxfordshire. Six ambulances and two

:05:43. > :05:46.air ambulances have been sent to the scene. One person has died. There

:05:47. > :05:53.are understood to be several casualties. This is the latest:

:05:54. > :05:58.These images appear to show a section of this building has

:05:59. > :06:01.collapsed. It is part of the power station that was decommissioned in

:06:02. > :06:06.2013 and is in the process of being demolished. On the ground fire crews

:06:07. > :06:11.and ambulances, emergency services were called mid-afternoon after

:06:12. > :06:15.reports of an explosion. It is still not clear what has happened. This

:06:16. > :06:19.has been described as a major incident. This video posted on

:06:20. > :06:22.social media shows smoke or dust rising from one side of the

:06:23. > :06:27.building. Eyewitnesses have described hearing a loud bang. I can

:06:28. > :06:33.see the power station quite clearly from where I am. At about 4pm, when

:06:34. > :06:37.I heard the explosion, and a very loud rumbling, by the time I got up

:06:38. > :06:42.and looked out of the window there was a huge cloud of dust. It came

:06:43. > :06:46.through over our village. When it had cleared, I noticed that half of

:06:47. > :06:51.the old power station where they used to keep the generators, half of

:06:52. > :06:52.that was missing. There are reports one person has been killed, but that

:06:53. > :06:55.has not been confirmed. Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy

:06:56. > :07:00.is near Didcot power station. We will bring you an update on the

:07:01. > :07:06.situation in the programme. The Scottish nurse,

:07:07. > :07:08.Pauline Cafferkey, who contracted ebola in Sierra Leone two years ago,

:07:09. > :07:11.has been admitted to hospital The 40-year-old was flown

:07:12. > :07:15.from Glasgow by RAF Hercules this afternoon for treatment at

:07:16. > :07:17.the Royal Free Hospital in London. She's being treated for a late

:07:18. > :07:32.complication from the virus. Pauline Cafferkey arrived back at

:07:33. > :07:36.the Royal free just over half an hour ago. She is in a stable

:07:37. > :07:41.condition and not a seriously ill as before. -- as seriously ill. But the

:07:42. > :07:45.effects of the Ebola virus our or having an impact.

:07:46. > :07:52.Surrounded by a plastic tent, her mouth covered, Pauline Cafferkey

:07:53. > :07:58.still dealing with the aftermath of the bowler virus. Staff moved her

:07:59. > :08:03.from Glasgow to the door of a military aircraft at the airport.

:08:04. > :08:07.She was flown to London, yet again, for specialist treatment. Speaking

:08:08. > :08:16.to the BBC last year she was well aware of the impact of Ebola

:08:17. > :08:21.lingering. My hair fell out. It has taken me a while to recover from it.

:08:22. > :08:25.That is the thing, you just don't know, long-term wise, either.

:08:26. > :08:30.Hopefully this is it, hopefully this is the end of it, but we just don't

:08:31. > :08:34.know. The Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa was first reported in

:08:35. > :08:38.March 20 14. Since, more than 11,000 people have died. Pauline Cafferkey

:08:39. > :08:42.was one of the British team of medics who worked at a save the

:08:43. > :08:48.children Centre in Sierra Leone, and it is stored she contracted Ebola

:08:49. > :08:57.virus on a visor on her protective clothing. This is part of a complex

:08:58. > :08:59.puzzle which is the Ebola virus. Moore has been learned about Ebola

:09:00. > :09:09.virus from Pauline than any other person on this planet. -- more.

:09:10. > :09:14.She's probably the most invested -- investigated case of the virus on

:09:15. > :09:22.the planet. She was taken to read Northolt. She was then transported

:09:23. > :09:28.to the Royal Free in London. This is the hospital Pauline Cafferkey has

:09:29. > :09:29.come to know very well. It will provide her with the specialist

:09:30. > :09:33.treatment she once again needs. Leaving the European Union

:09:34. > :09:36.would threaten jobs and put the UK's That's the warning from leaders

:09:37. > :09:39.of some of Britain's biggest companies,

:09:40. > :09:40.including Marks Spencer, But those campaigning to leave

:09:41. > :09:46.the EU have pointed out that two-thirds of the 100 largest listed

:09:47. > :09:48.companies in the UK, including Tesco and Sainsbury,

:09:49. > :09:50.did not back the letter. Our Deputy Political Editor

:09:51. > :10:06.James Landale has more. Remember this? Crowds of voters,

:10:07. > :10:12.jackets off, microphones on, jokes at the ready. It is great to be here

:10:13. > :10:16.in Slough, where so many... What? Yes, campaigning has begun, but this

:10:17. > :10:21.year it is not his job on the line, but Britain's membership of the EU.

:10:22. > :10:27.Something David Cameron thinks makes the UK stronger, safer, and, yes,

:10:28. > :10:30.better off. We will create more jobs, more livelihoods, we will see

:10:31. > :10:36.more investment, we will see more success for Britain. Why? Because we

:10:37. > :10:40.are part, inside the EU, of the biggest free-trade single market

:10:41. > :10:44.anywhere in the world. Today almost 200 of Britain's biggest firms,

:10:45. > :10:48.including 36 on the FTSE 100 index, published a letter warning that

:10:49. > :10:54.leaving you would put the economy at risk. Arguing that business needs

:10:55. > :11:00.unrestricted access to the European market.

:11:01. > :11:06.Two thirds of firms on the FTSE 100 unsigned. Many are keeping out of

:11:07. > :11:16.politics. Others are yet to make up their macrolides. -- up their minds.

:11:17. > :11:23.Does anybody seriously think the French president is going to say to

:11:24. > :11:27.his feisty farmers you cannot sell your wine, your cheese, or your

:11:28. > :11:32.butter to Britain any more? It isn't going to happen. But what we will be

:11:33. > :11:36.able to do is have trade with China and India. His boss said the risks

:11:37. > :11:41.were real and firms were right to speak out. Isn't the era of business

:11:42. > :11:46.leaders telling the British people how to vote over? This is an

:11:47. > :11:50.business leaders telling people how to vote. This is simply people

:11:51. > :11:53.running some of the largest businesses in our company, that

:11:54. > :11:57.employ over 1 million people between them, saying this has real

:11:58. > :12:01.consequences for our country. One of the key arguments of this referendum

:12:02. > :12:06.will be the prosperity of workers in or out of the EU. The problem for

:12:07. > :12:10.both sides is that businesses and economists do not all agree where

:12:11. > :12:13.the balance of risk lies. For big companies like O2, the EU gives them

:12:14. > :12:18.access to markets and labour that they claim Brexit would deny them.

:12:19. > :12:23.We benefit from scale, the standardisation in the technologies,

:12:24. > :12:28.it helps to reduce our cost base, and allows us to be more competitive

:12:29. > :12:31.in the UK. But many smaller companies, like this one in Dorset,

:12:32. > :12:36.say the EU means red tape that makes them less competitive. We are

:12:37. > :12:39.competing against the Americans, the Chinese, the Indians, the

:12:40. > :12:46.Australians. We don't have to jump through any of the hoops -- they

:12:47. > :12:53.don't have to jump through any of the hoops we do to stay in business.

:12:54. > :12:56.Boris Johnson is, once again, going against the Prime Minister. We had

:12:57. > :13:02.much the same sort of thing when the decision came whether or not to join

:13:03. > :13:07.the euro. And indeed 20 years ago whether or not to leave then. On

:13:08. > :13:10.both occasions, all of those same people were wrong. David Cameron has

:13:11. > :13:12.placed the economy at the heart of the referendum. How you feel about

:13:13. > :13:18.it might depend on where you work. An agreement has been reached

:13:19. > :13:21.between the Scottish Government and the Treasury over

:13:22. > :13:22.future Scottish spending. The deal covers the fiscal framework

:13:23. > :13:25.which will accompany the new tax powers due to come to

:13:26. > :13:27.Scotland from next year. Our Scotland Editor Sarah Smith

:13:28. > :13:35.is at Holyrood now. Explain what this agreement will

:13:36. > :13:39.mean. What ministers have been arguing

:13:40. > :13:44.about four months now is how to adjust the block grant Westminster

:13:45. > :13:49.pays to the Scottish Government. Once MSPs here get the power to

:13:50. > :13:52.raise and collect all income taxes here in Scotland. During this

:13:53. > :13:55.process the SNP have been complaining that proposals from the

:13:56. > :14:00.Treasury could have cost Scotland as much as ?7 billion. But they have

:14:01. > :14:04.done a deal today. Just a few minutes ago Nicola Sturgeon was able

:14:05. > :14:07.to tell MSPs she had managed to get an agreement, she thinks, is fair.

:14:08. > :14:10.I'm glad that we have got to the point of a deal in principle

:14:11. > :14:17.It has been much harder work than it should have been to avoid

:14:18. > :14:24.the Treasury trying to cash grab to the tune of ?7 billion.

:14:25. > :14:30.Meetings over this have been going on between ministers since June. It

:14:31. > :14:34.has been getting increasingly acrimonious. I understand it was a

:14:35. > :14:38.phone call between the First Minister and the Chancellor this

:14:39. > :14:42.afternoon that meant they were finally able to break that deadlock.

:14:43. > :14:48.George Osborne says this is a deal which means that the promises made

:14:49. > :14:51.to Scotland during the referendum in 2014 are now being kept.

:14:52. > :14:57.We reached an agreement which secures a stronger Scotland in a

:14:58. > :15:01.stronger United Kingdom. It delivers on the vow we made to the people of

:15:02. > :15:06.Scotland. It is fair to the taxpayers of all of the UK. And it

:15:07. > :15:07.gives Scotland one of the most powerful, devolved parliament in the

:15:08. > :15:14.world. What the Chancellor hopes and Tories

:15:15. > :15:19.in Scotland hope that the political debate will now move on and how

:15:20. > :15:22.these tax-raising powers will be used. Whether on not the SNP will

:15:23. > :15:26.put up income tax. And away from arguments about how much money

:15:27. > :15:31.Scotland gets from Westminster. Thanks very much.

:15:32. > :15:40.Junior doctors say they'll walk out on three 48-hour strikes

:15:41. > :15:48.I've had lots of babies, but this one was quite special.

:15:57. > :15:57.Rescuing migrants from the Mediterrainean.

:15:58. > :15:59.We hear the harrowing experiences of a volunteer from Ayr.

:16:00. > :16:02.And, Scotland's rugby captain wants fans to keep the faith as the team

:16:03. > :16:12.heads to Italy, hoping for a change of fortune.

:16:13. > :16:15.Tens of thousands of deaths in the UK can be linked to air

:16:16. > :16:18.pollution - both indoors and outside - according to a report by a group

:16:19. > :16:27.The Royal Colleges of Physicians and Paediatrics say around 40,000

:16:28. > :16:30.deaths a year in the UK can be linked to outdoor

:16:31. > :16:32.air pollution, such as diesel emissions from vehicles.

:16:33. > :16:33.But it also estimates that indoor pollution,

:16:34. > :16:36.such as tobacco smoke, faulty boilers and open fires,

:16:37. > :16:37.may have contributed to almost 100,000

:16:38. > :16:51.Our medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh, reports.

:16:52. > :16:52.It's children, like two-year-old Tristan from Cardiff,

:16:53. > :16:55.susceptible to the hazards of air pollution.

:16:56. > :16:58.His father was raised in the clean air of the countryside

:16:59. > :17:07.I've got two young children who've been brought up in a very urban

:17:08. > :17:09.setting and it does bother me what they're inhaling.

:17:10. > :17:11.The exhaust emissions and the pollution in the air that

:17:12. > :17:16.Today's report says air pollution affects every stage of life,

:17:17. > :17:23.Some damage accumulates over decades.

:17:24. > :17:27.In pregnancy, air pollution is linked with low birth weight.

:17:28. > :17:31.Children living in highly polluted areas are four times more likely

:17:32. > :17:35.to have reduced lung function as adults.

:17:36. > :17:46.In later life, air pollution is linked to heart attacks.

:17:47. > :17:48.While among the elderly, the affects include brain decline

:17:49. > :17:52.We're seeing increases in asthma, in diabetes, affects on obesity,

:17:53. > :18:00.ageing of the skin and of the cornea and eye.

:18:01. > :18:07.In fact, we're seeing affects even on intelligence in children that

:18:08. > :18:11.So what are the pollution hazards in the air we breathe?

:18:12. > :18:13.Outside, on busy streets, the main threat is from exhaust

:18:14. > :18:16.fumes from vehicles which emit a toxic mix of sooty

:18:17. > :18:27.But indoors there is also risks, especially if our homes are poorly

:18:28. > :18:29.ventilated, such as carbon monoxide from faulty gas boilers

:18:30. > :18:32.There are pollutants too in kitchen products, air fresheners

:18:33. > :18:35.and toiletries, but here the evidence of risk is less clear.

:18:36. > :18:37.The only two things that we know are harmful are environmental

:18:38. > :18:42.All the other things are suggestions that people are worried about.

:18:43. > :18:44.The evidence that air fresheners and other chemicals are important

:18:45. > :18:53.We spend most of our time indoors and there are precautions

:18:54. > :18:55.to minimise air pollution, such as avoiding tobacco smoke

:18:56. > :18:58.opening a window can make a difference.

:18:59. > :19:04.More than 100,000 migrants and refugees have already arrived

:19:05. > :19:08.That's more than ten times the figure for January

:19:09. > :19:13.Most of them came ashore on the Greek islands.

:19:14. > :19:15.The International Organisation for Migration says they've mainly

:19:16. > :19:17.come from countries affected by conflict -

:19:34. > :19:37.These Syrians paid ?500 each for a place on board.

:19:38. > :19:41.That's cheaper than recent times, perhaps that's why more than 110,000

:19:42. > :19:46.people have done this over the last six weeks.

:19:47. > :19:50.A short while later, this boat began to sink.

:19:51. > :19:53.Luckily for them, the Greek coast guard was there to rescue them.

:20:12. > :20:19.Russian forces, air forces, do air strikes every day.

:20:20. > :20:22.He and his children arrived at Greece's newest migrant camp.

:20:23. > :20:27.It's only been open a day and it's already full.

:20:28. > :20:29.Over the last 24-hours, Greece has said it's prepared

:20:30. > :20:32.to take 50,000 more migrants, although it's debatable about how

:20:33. > :20:37.Of course, it wants to move these people on, up the migrant

:20:38. > :20:40.trail, and further north there are problems.

:20:41. > :20:43.At the border between Greece and Macedonia today

:20:44. > :20:49.Syrians and Iraqis can pass, but Afghans are being stopped.

:20:56. > :20:58.Measures further up the migrant trail to limit numbers passing

:21:26. > :21:28.Now that spring has sprung in south eastern Europe,

:21:29. > :21:32.the numbers are unlikely to drop off.

:21:33. > :21:34.A new rush of refugees is anticipated.

:21:35. > :22:25.The chocolate maker, Mars, is recalling millions of bars

:22:29. > :22:30.including the UK - after bits of plastic were found

:22:31. > :22:33.The recall includes Mars, Milky Ways and Celebrations

:22:34. > :22:35.with a 'best before' date of between June this year

:22:36. > :22:38.Our business vorrespondent, Emma Simpson, is here with me now.

:22:39. > :22:41.Someone found plastic in a Snickers bar. He complained. Because Mars

:22:42. > :22:43.couldn't guarantee there weren't orbits of plastic in chocolates it

:22:44. > :22:46.recalled everything being made there during a specific period. As a

:22:47. > :22:49.precaution, Mars is basically saying to people - don't eat some of its

:22:50. > :22:55.best-loved products in case it could lead to choking. The recall is much

:22:56. > :23:00.more limited here in the UK. Unlike elsewhere, it doesn't involve single

:23:01. > :23:09.Mars Bars or Snickers bars. It does involve the Mars and Milky Way fun

:23:10. > :23:24.size bags, the Variety fun size bags and boxes of Celebrations chocolate

:23:25. > :23:30.with best before dates. It has apologised but is taking no chances.

:23:38. > :23:39.fell ill at Bristol Zoo, So the zoo drafted in a consultant

:23:40. > :23:43.from the local maternity hospital, who found himself carrying

:23:44. > :23:45.out his first emergency Just a warning, Jon Kay's report

:23:46. > :23:48.contains some footage He's delivered hundreds of babies

:23:49. > :23:51.but, for Professor David Cahill, Lying on the operating table,

:23:52. > :23:56.a pregnant 100 kilo gorilla whose It was a little bit

:23:57. > :23:59.thinking - really? After quickly reading up

:24:00. > :24:08.on the anatomy of apes he began an emergency Caesarean,

:24:09. > :24:10.the mother and baby here were rather hairier than the human beings

:24:11. > :24:12.he normally deals with, This is the tiny newborn,

:24:13. > :24:19.who hasn't been given a name yet. The Professor Says the three-hour

:24:20. > :24:21.operation was remarkably similar to his day job at the local

:24:22. > :24:25.maternity hospital. The tissues are very much the same

:24:26. > :24:42.and the various layers of muscle and other strong tissues you have

:24:43. > :24:44.to cut through to get So the whole thing was weirdly

:24:45. > :24:49.familiar, but very strange. Professor Cahill had been on standby

:24:50. > :24:52.to help the zoo's vet, What's it like holding a baby

:24:53. > :24:56.gorilla that you've delivered? I mean, I've held lots of babies,

:24:57. > :25:00.but this one was quite special because, even though it's quite

:25:01. > :25:03.small, it was doing all the things you'd expect a gorilla to do,

:25:04. > :25:06.in terms of holding onto you. It looked at me with those kind

:25:07. > :25:09.of weird eyes that it's got The young female struggled

:25:10. > :25:13.to breathe for a while and need emergency resuscitation but,

:25:14. > :25:15.11 days on, she's feeding well and putting on weight

:25:16. > :25:17.and her mum is also recovering. It could be months before the baby

:25:18. > :25:21.gorilla is old enough and strong enough to be introduced

:25:22. > :25:28.to the rest of the family here. When that happens, the zoo says

:25:29. > :25:31.it'll have to be done very Tonight, some new pictures

:25:32. > :25:35.of the baby being hand reared away While she's waiting to go back

:25:36. > :25:57.to her mother, she has a toy gorilla she will need more hair over the

:25:58. > :26:01.next few days to keep off the chill. The cold snap will last. Plenty of

:26:02. > :26:05.sunshine today. One of our photographs from Wales. As the sun

:26:06. > :26:07.is setting under clear skies, temperatures will drop sharply.

:26:08. > :26:12.There was cloud that developing through the day. It is melting away.

:26:13. > :26:17.Now, the temperatures are falling, just watch as the blue hue takes

:26:18. > :26:20.hold of the map. Showers across Scotland, snow across the north and

:26:21. > :26:25.one or two for Northern Ireland, too. It could be easy and one or two

:26:26. > :26:29.fag patches forming across eastern England. It's all about the

:26:30. > :26:34.temperatures really, down in towns and cities to below freezing. These

:26:35. > :26:43.are the temperatures in the countryside, minus 10 to the glens

:26:44. > :26:46.of Scotland. More cloud to Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland.

:26:47. > :26:50.There will be some scattered snow showers across northern Scotland.

:26:51. > :26:53.Elsewhere cloud in the afternoon. Overall sparkling sunshine.

:26:54. > :26:58.Temperatures similar to today. We start frosty, we end at four to

:26:59. > :27:00.eight Celsius. Colder to north-eastern parts of Scotland. We

:27:01. > :27:04.do it again on Thursday. Will you scrape the car on Thursday morning.

:27:05. > :27:07.A widespread frost to start the day. One or two scattered showers here

:27:21. > :27:24.These weather fronts turning into low pressure systems trying to nudge

:27:25. > :27:28.in from the west. Uncertainty how far they will get in and what they

:27:29. > :27:33.will produce is cold winds to the southern half of the UK. The chilly

:27:34. > :27:40.theme continues into the end of the week. Bitter winds will pick up on

:27:41. > :27:44.Saturday and a few wintry showers. A little more sunshine as well. One

:27:45. > :27:48.person is thought to have died, a number of others are injured after

:27:49. > :27:51.what is thought to be an explosion at Didcot Power Station in

:27:52. > :27:55.Oxfordshire. Duncan Kennedy is at the scene. What more can you tell

:27:56. > :27:58.us, Duncan? We still don't know what caused this explosion here at the

:27:59. > :28:14.Didcot Power Station, which itself was closed down a couple of years

:28:15. > :28:17.ago and the main cooling ing towers closed. We are are going reports

:28:18. > :28:20.much one fatality and several other people are injured. A number of

:28:21. > :28:24.police officers are still arriving here at the scene to deal with what

:28:25. > :28:28.has been described as a major incident. So too arriving ambulances

:28:29. > :28:32.here at the scene. Again, it might be the lag in the calls they have

:28:33. > :28:37.been getting. They are racing to the scene. It's being dealt well by

:28:38. > :28:42.other ambulances who arrived here earlier. The explosion took place at

:28:43. > :28:47.Didcot A. The station that was demolished a couple of years ago. It
