:06:32. > :06:34.that the Chinese have not taken umbrage, and all sides have been
:06:35. > :06:39.stressing has accessible the state visit was last year. This is a rare
:06:40. > :06:45.insight, it would always be a rare insight, because the Queen will be

:06:50. > :06:51.The threat level from Northern Ireland-related terrorism
:06:52. > :06:53.in Great Britain has been raised, from "moderate" to "substantial".
:06:54. > :07:00.It means an attack in England, Wales or Scotland is a strong possibility.
:07:01. > :07:03.The Home Secretary Theresa May said it reflects the continuing threat
:07:04. > :07:06.Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler has the latest for us
:07:07. > :07:15.It was only a matter of weeks ago that here in Belfast senior police
:07:16. > :07:18.officers laid out in the starkest terms that dissident republicans
:07:19. > :07:22.were going to try and attempt to kill security force members. It
:07:23. > :07:25.seems their fears and concerns are now spreading, from Northern Ireland
:07:26. > :07:36.to England, Scotland and Wales. The threat of violence has never
:07:37. > :07:38.left the streets of Northern Ireland, dissident republicans were
:07:39. > :07:44.responsible for the death of a prison officer a few weeks ago. He
:07:45. > :07:49.was blown up as he drove to work. There have been other attacks linked
:07:50. > :07:55.to republican paramilitaries. And other attempts to kill. If anything,
:07:56. > :07:59.the concern seems to have grown. That is not just true in Northern
:08:00. > :08:02.Ireland, but fears are also rising that dissidents could take their
:08:03. > :08:08.campaign of violence to other parts of the UK. We've seen the murderous
:08:09. > :08:12.capability of dissident republicans in Northern Ireland and I suspect
:08:13. > :08:15.this change of threat level indicates a rise in their capacity
:08:16. > :08:21.and capability in mainland Great Britain and that should cause
:08:22. > :08:24.concern. The threat level for international terrorism is at
:08:25. > :08:30.severe, meaning an attack is highly likely. But Northern Ireland related
:08:31. > :08:33.terrorism is classified separately by the security services and in
:08:34. > :08:39.Northern Ireland that threat level is also severe. But MI5 had lowered
:08:40. > :08:42.the threat from Irish dissidents on mainland Britain to moderate,
:08:43. > :08:47.meaning an attack was possible but not likely. Today they change that,
:08:48. > :08:55.raising the level to substantial, which means they believe an attack
:08:56. > :08:58.is a strong possibility. It is 15 years since there was a serious
:08:59. > :09:03.campaign of violence by Republicans in England. In 2001 there were
:09:04. > :09:09.attacks in London and Birmingham. This former Deputy Chief Constable
:09:10. > :09:14.says there are indications that dissidents have access to
:09:15. > :09:21.explosives. They have deployed undercard booby-traps, which will

:09:41. > :09:47.are worried in particular about one group, known as the new IRA. The
:09:48. > :09:51.threat from Isis and Al-Qaeda is much higher on the mainland, but
:09:52. > :09:57.this takes away some resources to focus on the threat from the IRA.
:09:58. > :10:00.The threat has never gone away. The rising of the threat level means
:10:01. > :10:08.forces across the UK must now be on alert.

:17:35. > :17:41.when she was most vulnerable. Before she died, our mother was repeatedly
:17:42. > :17:46.admitted to hospital but then quickly taken back home without the
:17:47. > :17:49.support she needed to keep per se. Even doctors, nurses, they said she
:17:50. > :17:54.could clearly not look after herself, but she was always sent
:17:55. > :18:01.home again. I just feel she had no dignity up to that point and was
:18:02. > :18:05.pushed around like she was an object. A report by the
:18:06. > :18:10.Parliamentary and health service ombudsman says patients are being
:18:11. > :18:16.sent home alone, afraid and unable to cope. It investigated 200 cases
:18:17. > :18:21.about problems with dischargers in the year to 2015. A 36% increase on

:18:25. > :18:29.could have been prevented if hospitals had carried out the right
:18:30. > :18:34.checks. The NHS says the findings will be taken seriously, and
:18:35. > :18:37.improvement is underway. But this also highlights how overstretched
:18:38. > :18:42.services providing supporting people's homes or in care homes have
:18:43. > :18:47.become. For every person identified by the ombudsman as being discharged
:18:48. > :18:55.without adequate support, there are thousands more stuck in hospital for
:18:56. > :19:00.the same reason. Deborah Edwards's father was stuck in hospital for

:19:17. > :19:22.fun. It shouldn't have taken so long. My dad didn't need medical
:19:23. > :19:27.treatment, he just needed looking after. A former hospital chief
:19:28. > :19:30.executive says because of a lack of social care in the community,
:19:31. > :19:35.hospitals like the one he ran were having to pick up the pieces. What I
:19:36. > :19:42.ended up doing was basically running a very large care home. Patients who
:19:43. > :19:47.needed residential care, community care, nursing care. We were running
:19:48. > :19:52.the largest, most expensive residential nursing facility in the

:24:18. > :24:20.complained that the closure of the road between Grasmere
:24:21. > :24:23.and Keswick was damaging trade, and motorists were faced
:24:24. > :24:25.with a 35 mile diversion. Now the three-mile stretch
:24:26. > :24:28.of road is open again. Our correspondent,
:24:29. > :24:42.Danny Savage, is there. Back in December, thousands of
:24:43. > :24:46.tonnes of boulders were swept down the hillside here by the deluge
:24:47. > :24:50.which cause the winter floods. It destroyed the road, blocking it in
:24:51. > :24:55.several places, and it damage the economy. This morning, it finally
:24:56. > :25:00.reopened, to the great believer that everybody living round here. The
:25:01. > :25:05.record-breaking rainfall of last December destroyed this road in
:25:06. > :25:12.places. Landslides also swept down the fells, leaving drivers marooned.
:25:13. > :25:16.Five months later, the road is back, but you can still see the damage.

:25:25. > :25:30.of me, so I reversed. I feel lucky to be alive. The closure left this
:25:31. > :25:36.national park divided. Local people say that visitor numbers fell off a
:25:37. > :25:46.cliff. Having the main road closed has been paid. A test on the A591
:25:47. > :25:52.into a cul-de-sac. -- it has turned. We knew that there would be an end
:25:53. > :25:56.to this. Businesses said that they really wanted this road is to reopen
:25:57. > :26:02.before the main tourist season started. So, here we are in mid-May,
:26:03. > :26:10.with the weather fare, and the north and south of this national park
:26:11. > :26:18.reunited. One, two, three! There was a bit of a fanfare this morning,
:26:19. > :26:21.accompanied by general relief. It is absolutely amazing, just that
:26:22. > :26:26.feeling of being able to drive over that roads to do the school run from
:26:27. > :26:31.my house, it's incredible. It will make such a difference to the whole
:26:32. > :26:37.community. Ministers say the work was completed as quickly as
:26:38. > :26:40.possible. It wasn't all bad news - a temporary bus route around the
:26:41. > :26:46.closure became a tourist attraction in its own right. Someone said, you
:26:47. > :26:52.have to try this temporary route, it is much more picturesque. And it was
:26:53. > :26:58.worth the journey. Six months after a battering from the weather, things
:26:59. > :27:04.are getting back to normal here. Danny Savage, BBC News, Cumbria.
:27:05. > :27:18.Let's turn our attention to southern England - flash flooding in parts.
:27:19. > :27:24.This is Woking in Surrey. It then pushed into Oxfordshire. We also had
:27:25. > :27:29.a funnel cloud reported. You can see this thick cloud churning away
:27:30. > :27:33.across the southern half of the UK, and the clear skies further north.
:27:34. > :27:37.Beneath those cloudy skies, we had torrential downpours. A bit hit and
:27:38. > :27:42.miss, some places missed it, but other places certainly did. These
:27:43. > :27:47.downpours have been crossing the Bristol and Cardiff area. They are
:27:48. > :27:51.on -- if you are on the move or the next few hours, watch out for sudden
:27:52. > :27:56.downpours. We will keep our ride on this clutch of storms that will
:27:57. > :27:59.brush close to the south coast overnight. For most of Northern
:28:00. > :28:05.Ireland and Scotland, it will stay dry. Under the clear skies, it will
:28:06. > :28:12.be cool in the Glens of Scotland. It will be muggy in southern areas. The
:28:13. > :28:17.showers will clear away before more pop up through the day. We will have
:28:18. > :28:21.a nice day tomorrow, with dry weather, some sunshine. There will
:28:22. > :28:26.be some exceptions. For example, in the far north of Scotland, more
:28:27. > :28:29.clout. It will be cooler. Some of the cloud will make it to the
:28:30. > :28:35.north-eastern coast of Scotland and England. Brighter and warmer farther
:28:36. > :28:40.west. The odd isolated shower across the Highlands. Most other places
:28:41. > :28:44.will have a dry afternoon. A vast improvement for some of us.
:28:45. > :28:53.Temperatures into the low 20s. The odd scattered shower in the
:28:54. > :28:59.south-west. It will be cold overnight.
