:01:23. > :01:24.chasing a series whitewash, position in the fourth one-day

:01:25. > :02:03.international against Pakistan. Good evening and welcome to the BBC

:02:04. > :02:15.News at Six PM. Doctors leaders have just announced that junior doctors

:02:16. > :02:25.plan to walk out on three more five-day strikes between now and

:02:26. > :02:32.Christmas. That's on top of the strike already announced for this

:02:33. > :02:34.month. The move comes after the Prime Minister attacked the British

:02:35. > :02:37.Medical Association accusing them of playing politics rather than putting

:02:38. > :02:40.patients first. They are protesting against the new pay and working

:02:41. > :02:43.hours contract imposed on them by the government.

:02:44. > :02:46.One hospital, like so many others, with a lot of extra work to do

:02:47. > :02:50.Here at Colchester General, they're having to plan to bring

:02:51. > :02:52.in consultants to cover striking junior doctor colleagues

:02:53. > :02:56.for emergency work and for a longer strike than the last one in April.

:02:57. > :02:59.We coped before and indeed we'll cope again, but it is going to be

:03:00. > :03:02.more difficult this time as we've only got 12 days to plan

:03:03. > :03:04.and of course that's taking essential staff away from the jobs

:03:05. > :03:08.Junior doctors won concessions on safety, but their demands

:03:09. > :03:10.still include: a more generous weekend pay allowance.

:03:11. > :03:13.More detail on how the Government plans to achieve a full

:03:14. > :03:16.More protection for women and part-time workers.

:03:17. > :03:18.The main issues haven't changed, but what we didn't know,

:03:19. > :03:21.until today, was what the new Prime Minister thought about them.

:03:22. > :03:23.In her first public comments on the junior doctors' dispute,

:03:24. > :03:26.Theresa May made clear there'd be no immediate change of tact

:03:27. > :03:29.by the Government and she gave her backing to the Health Secretary.

:03:30. > :03:31.We've got record levels of funding in the NHS.

:03:32. > :03:34.We've got more doctors now in the NHS than we've seen

:03:35. > :03:37.in its history and this is a deal that is safe for patients.

:03:38. > :03:39.The Government is putting patients first, the BMA should be

:03:40. > :03:41.putting patients first, not playing politics.

:03:42. > :03:44.But junior doctor representatives denied they were playing politics

:03:45. > :03:47.and said the Government should now halt the imposition of a contract

:03:48. > :03:49.which had been rejected by BMA members.

:03:50. > :03:51.We don't want to take industrial action at all.

:03:52. > :03:53.All this would take is the Government saying to us,

:03:54. > :03:55.right now, we're going to lift the imposition.

:03:56. > :03:59.We're not going to force a contract upon junior doctors.

:04:00. > :04:02.We already have a contract that allows us to work weekends.

:04:03. > :04:07.I'm an A trainee, I work one in two weekends.

:04:08. > :04:14.For patients, like Simon, there's now uncertainty and worry

:04:15. > :04:17.with routine procedures set to be postponed.

:04:18. > :04:19.He's waiting for an operation for kidney stones, but doesn't know

:04:20. > :04:26.My heart's with the doctors, I wouldn't want to say doctors

:04:27. > :04:29.are bad, they shouldn't be striking but, at the same time,

:04:30. > :04:32.I'm sort of going - hang on a minute, I'm

:04:33. > :04:37.Essentially, it's an hour's operation.

:04:38. > :04:40.It's a very simple thing that has to be done, but there's only a few

:04:41. > :04:44.people who can do it and I'm stuck in pain waiting for the very few

:04:45. > :04:47.There's no junior doctor dispute in Scotland,

:04:48. > :04:49.Wales and Northern Ireland as there are no plans

:04:50. > :04:53.Meanwhile, in England, the direction of travel doesn't

:04:54. > :05:01.seem to be leading back to the negotiating table.

:05:02. > :05:07.In the last half-hour we have heard from BMA members of plans for

:05:08. > :05:11.further strikes beyond the one already planned for September. The

:05:12. > :05:14.next one will begin on Wednesday October five, as it happens the last

:05:15. > :05:17.day of the Conservative Party conference. There will be a strike

:05:18. > :05:21.on the Thursday and Friday that we cant normal cover over the weekend

:05:22. > :05:23.and strikes on Monday and Tuesday the following week. The next

:05:24. > :05:30.five-day action will begin on November 14 and then one on December

:05:31. > :05:33.the 5th. All of that means further challenges for hospital managers,

:05:34. > :05:36.further uncertainty for patients, further backlogs in routine

:05:37. > :05:40.operations and procedures, assuming of course that there is no

:05:41. > :05:43.resolution to this dispute and though strikes actually take place.

:05:44. > :05:45.Health editor Hugh Pym, thank you. Police have named the 10-year-old

:05:46. > :05:48.boy and his 34-year-old aunt who were killed yesterday afternoon

:05:49. > :05:50.in London when a car being chased Makayah McDermott and Rosie Cooper

:05:51. > :05:57.were walking on the pavement with three other children when they

:05:58. > :05:59.were hit. Police are continuing to question a

:06:00. > :06:11.man in connection with their deaths. It was a summer's afternoon but not

:06:12. > :06:17.always best spent in the park, and that's where they were heading when

:06:18. > :06:22.this happened. Makayah McDermott died, crushed by the car, like all

:06:23. > :06:26.the children he was a talented actor, auditioned for a TBC reads

:06:27. > :06:31.and his aunt Rosanne Cooper was also killed. Her daughter and Makayah's

:06:32. > :06:35.sisters are being treated in hospital. The car that hit them had

:06:36. > :06:40.been reported stolen shortly before and pursued by police three South

:06:41. > :06:47.London. After the crash the driver fled only to be corded by officers

:06:48. > :06:52.nearby. Flowers arrived this afternoon, accompanied by memories

:06:53. > :06:56.of the victims. I don't know Rosie massively well but the one thing I

:06:57. > :07:01.do know about her is she never had a bad word to say about anybody. She

:07:02. > :07:05.was the kindest, friendliest, warmest person. When something like

:07:06. > :07:10.this happens there is always an independent inquiry to consider the

:07:11. > :07:16.fast-moving decisions which had to be made when someone fails to spot,

:07:17. > :07:19.stop the police. Alan Kitchener is an ex-police officer, now driving

:07:20. > :07:24.instructor, who has been at the wheel and at the control room during

:07:25. > :07:29.pursuits. Is a constant management of the risk because things change

:07:30. > :07:34.from second to second. To help controllers decide whether to

:07:35. > :07:39.continue officers in the car are taught to commentate on those risks

:07:40. > :07:43.over the radio. The pedestrian who might step out and might not see us

:07:44. > :07:47.coming and then the bend on the road and it dips down, Junction to the

:07:48. > :07:51.right. It's impressive the amount of detail but this is a technical place

:07:52. > :07:54.where a pursuit might happen. If you didn't pursue in the sort of place

:07:55. > :08:00.that is more risky you'd never catch anyone. Many pursuits are called

:08:01. > :08:05.off, I've called off lots in my career because the risk outweighs

:08:06. > :08:09.the benefit of catching the offender. Investigators are now

:08:10. > :08:14.examining video footage from the police car involved and its built-in

:08:15. > :08:16.data recorder. Tom Symons BBC News, south London.

:08:17. > :08:18.There was a strong rebound in manufacturing in the UK last month.

:08:19. > :08:25.Latest figures show the sector bounced back unexpectedly

:08:26. > :08:28.following a big drop in July following the vote to leave the EU.

:08:29. > :08:31.And one of the main reasons for that is the weaker pound,

:08:32. > :08:33.making our goods cheaper for foreign companies to buy.

:08:34. > :08:35.Our Economics Correspondent Andy Verity is here.

:08:36. > :08:40.These figures weren't expected, were they?

:08:41. > :08:46.Not at all. The consensus from economists was much poorer. This is

:08:47. > :08:49.not just sentiment, it is relatively hard data so you are asking the

:08:50. > :08:54.decision makers, the key people who make decisions on what to buy, this

:08:55. > :08:58.applies to die, to meet the orders coming in at the cutting edge of the

:08:59. > :09:01.economy, asking them whether things are getting better or worse, or

:09:02. > :09:05.staying the same and more than half of them are saying they are getting

:09:06. > :09:11.better in August. Part of the reason as you mention, the weaker pound,

:09:12. > :09:15.look at what has happened since the vote. It started in the 140s, you

:09:16. > :09:23.can see the drop getting down to 130 or so and now is back up to about

:09:24. > :09:27.133 but substantially less. It means foreign companies buying British

:09:28. > :09:31.manufactured goods are paying effectively 10% less so the goods

:09:32. > :09:34.are a lot more competitive. On the other hand, we also see in the data

:09:35. > :09:43.the flip side which is that the manufacturers have to decide what to

:09:44. > :09:46.buy in. They might pay for wood pulp in dollars and that has gone up

:09:47. > :09:51.because pounds by fewer dollars and that buys less of the goods. 44% of

:09:52. > :09:54.firms say supply costs are up but what is interesting about this is

:09:55. > :09:59.the weaker pound seems to be having a stimulating effect on the economy

:10:00. > :10:01.in the way in which lower interest rates have not succeeded so far.

:10:02. > :10:03.Thank you. The Government is to spend ?20

:10:04. > :10:06.million on improving the performance Services have been hit

:10:07. > :10:11.by months of disruption, strikes and a reduced service

:10:12. > :10:14.on rail routes in south London, The Transport Secretary,

:10:15. > :10:17.Chris Grayling, said the money The RMT union says a planned

:10:18. > :10:20.walk-out by some Southern staff A rocket operated by the aerospace

:10:21. > :10:26.company, Space X, has exploded at in Cape Canaveral,

:10:27. > :10:31.Florida. The incident happened

:10:32. > :10:35.during a test-firing of the rocket which was due to take a satellite

:10:36. > :10:37.into space this weekend. Space X said the explosion,

:10:38. > :10:40.which shook buildings several miles away, was the result

:10:41. > :10:42.of an anomaly on the launchpad It's the biggest biomedical research

:10:43. > :10:50.centre in Europe Today, the Francis Crick Institute

:10:51. > :10:54.in London officially opened its doors to more than 1,200 scientists

:10:55. > :10:57.from around the world who will be based there working on new ways to

:10:58. > :11:00.diagnose, treat and prevent conditions such as cancer, heart

:11:01. > :11:02.disease and stroke. Our medical correspondent Fergus

:11:03. > :11:12.Walsh has been to take a look. London has a new landmark,

:11:13. > :11:16.the Crick, named after This cathedral to science is right

:11:17. > :11:23.behind the British Library As well as what you can see,

:11:24. > :11:29.there are four storeys below ground, which will house scanners,

:11:30. > :11:31.electron microscopes This is my laboratory and we've

:11:32. > :11:38.already started work. One of the first scientists to move

:11:39. > :11:41.in is its Nobel Prize-winning director, Sir Paul Nurse,

:11:42. > :11:43.who's working on cell division, fundamental to our understanding

:11:44. > :11:49.of diseases like cancer. We would attract brilliant

:11:50. > :11:52.scientists from around the world and take on the biology

:11:53. > :11:55.underpinning diseases like heart disease, stroke,

:11:56. > :11:57.diabetes, neuro degeneration and push forward biomedical research

:11:58. > :12:04.well into the 21st Century. When it's fully open next year,

:12:05. > :12:07.the Crick will be home to more than 1,200 scientists from every

:12:08. > :12:09.field of medical research. A building on this vast scale

:12:10. > :12:15.is a tangible public statement about the importance of science

:12:16. > :12:18.in Britain and the hope will be that the discoveries made

:12:19. > :12:27.here will eventually benefit us all. HIV, TB, malaria and flu will all be

:12:28. > :12:33.studied in high containment laboratories off this corridor

:12:34. > :12:35.and the ultimate goal A better understanding will always

:12:36. > :12:44.lead to the ability to find new drug targets and,

:12:45. > :12:51.ultimately,, if we can work out the specifics

:12:52. > :12:53.of how these things work, Brexit will have an impact and mean

:12:54. > :13:00.the loss of planned EU funding, but the Crick's top scientists

:13:01. > :13:03.saying the building sends a powerful international message

:13:04. > :13:24.that is Britain is open for us. Junior doctors have announced three

:13:25. > :13:27.more five-day strikes between now and Christmas as their dispute with

:13:28. > :13:30.the government over the new contract intensifies.

:13:31. > :13:32.And later in the programme, the BBC's got a new reporter.

:13:33. > :13:38.This is Bridget know. Matt Jones reporting for BBC News.

:13:42. > :13:54.looking into the successful bid to host the 2006 World Cup.

:13:55. > :13:57.There's been a big rise in demand for psychiatric care,

:13:58. > :13:59.and it's putting considerable pressure on the NHS.

:14:00. > :14:02.BBC News has seen evidence that some homeless people who've been treated

:14:03. > :14:05.for mental health problems are being discharged from hospitals

:14:06. > :14:09.The numbers of rough sleepers with mental health problems

:14:10. > :14:12.has tripled in the past six years in London alone.

:14:13. > :14:14.As our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan reports,

:14:15. > :14:24.getting them proper treatment is highly problematic.

:14:25. > :14:26.His report contains some flashing images.

:14:27. > :14:32.I'm going to do a mental health assessment on a bloke.

:14:33. > :14:34.For three months, this team have been looking for one man.

:14:35. > :14:37.There he is. Yes.

:14:38. > :14:47.Good. How is everything?

:14:48. > :14:49.He's a rough sleeper, sometimes volatile.

:14:50. > :14:51.With police support, Fatima Taylor, a psychiatric nurse,

:14:52. > :14:57.I don't think you're coping out here.

:14:58. > :15:00.The outreach team believe his health has deteriorated

:15:01. > :15:02.and that he should be detained under the Mental Health Act.

:15:03. > :15:05.I've seen you walk about talking to yourself.

:15:06. > :15:13.And I've seen you scream at people walking in front of you.

:15:14. > :15:15.I don't want mental health, I'm not mental.

:15:16. > :15:25.She can't get any doctors to come and assist as the law requires.

:15:26. > :15:39.It's so unpredictable when you find somebody so chaotic

:15:40. > :15:53.striving nightly to support rough sleepers with mental health needs.

:15:54. > :15:55.Ed's rang and said you are feeling a bit low.

:15:56. > :15:57.An innovative approach from the charity Thames Reach

:15:58. > :16:11.Amid the constant bustle an increasing case load

:16:12. > :16:14.The man in the shorts has been sectioned.

:16:15. > :16:17.And where were you sleeping before that?

:16:18. > :16:19.On the street, homeless. For how long was that?

:16:20. > :16:20.Seven years now. Seven years?

:16:21. > :16:22.He's homeless and a regular drug user.

:16:23. > :16:24.In recent weeks, his behaviour has become erratic.

:16:25. > :16:26.Yeah, because the doctors have made a decision, and myself,

:16:27. > :16:28.that you will be better off in hospital.

:16:29. > :16:35.He's been sectioned several times before and calmly heads to hospital.

:16:36. > :16:39.As he departs, so do we, to a bin chute in a block of flats.

:16:40. > :16:54.But it stinks. I know.

:16:55. > :17:03.she's been sectioned often suffering from schizophrenia.

:17:04. > :17:06.The outreach team found her, housed her, saved her.

:17:07. > :17:08.I'm a lot better now, I've got my own home.

:17:09. > :17:09.Yeah? Yeah.

:17:10. > :17:12.How's your mental health? It's all right, it's controlled.

:17:13. > :17:18.But you can't make mental health right overnight.

:17:19. > :17:20.Her relative progress a source of inspiration

:17:21. > :17:26.Back on the streets a familiar figure,

:17:27. > :17:33.He'd been discharged from hospital after just two days.

:17:34. > :17:36.The outreach team said the NHS had failed to

:17:37. > :17:40.They fall through the cracks all the time.

:17:41. > :17:42.It's a matter of substance misuse, drug-induced psychosis.

:17:43. > :17:45.It's nothing to do with their mental health.

:17:46. > :17:55.The man will now have to fend for himself until his next crisis,

:17:56. > :17:58.revolving between hospital and homelessness,

:17:59. > :18:05.Michael Buchanan, BBC News, East London.

:18:06. > :18:09.People who don't own a television but use the BBC iPlayer to catch up

:18:10. > :18:13.on shows must pay for a TV licence from today.

:18:14. > :18:16.Until now, only viewers who were watching shows as they were being

:18:17. > :18:20.The new rules close the so-called "iPlayer loophole".

:18:21. > :18:31.Our media correspondent David Sillito reports.

:18:32. > :18:37.ANNOUNCER: Dodgers watch out. Once upon a time, it was simple. If your

:18:38. > :18:42.home had a television you paid a license and then came the iPlayer.

:18:43. > :18:49.Suddenly you could watch the BBC on all sorts of devices without paying.

:18:50. > :18:53.But no longer. A lot of people, especially younger people, are

:18:54. > :19:00.facing a choice. I watch iPlayer to watch BBC TV. I don't have a trchlt

:19:01. > :19:04.V license and I don't think I'd buy one for iPlayer. I do watch iPlayer.

:19:05. > :19:10.I don't have a TV licence. I'll have to get one. The question is, how do

:19:11. > :19:18.you enforce it? One thing has changed today. When you press that

:19:19. > :19:22.play button the programme no longer plays immediately, you get this

:19:23. > :19:29.prompt asking if you've paid your licence fee. But, how can they be

:19:30. > :19:34.sure you have Detectives are out in force seeking TV bandits. It was

:19:35. > :19:38.never clear how the old style detective vans worked. This is a

:19:39. > :19:44.completely different problem fraught with legal issues. . The BBC could

:19:45. > :19:50.inspect its log files to see who's accessed its service. That has

:19:51. > :19:56.massive and privacy legal complicationses. Google got into

:19:57. > :20:01.trouble knifing traffic. It was find severely. So, the easiest option for

:20:02. > :20:07.the BBC and their enforcement teams is to knock on people's doors, ask

:20:08. > :20:13.if they've used iPlayer and watch to see if they lie. May I see your TV

:20:14. > :20:18.licence, pleas. The knock on the door method's been around for a long

:20:19. > :20:23.time. This matters to the BBC. This iPlayer issue has, it's said, led to

:20:24. > :20:28.is a ?150 million shortfall in its income. The legal loop hope may have

:20:29. > :20:31.been closed but if there are no passwords or pin numbers, how it

:20:32. > :20:35.will be enforced is not entirely clear.

:20:38. > :20:42.we're hearing from some of the athletes representing Great Britain.

:20:43. > :20:44.Boccia is perhaps one of the least known sports,

:20:45. > :20:46.but it's also one of the most inclusive,

:20:47. > :20:48.offering the most-disabled athletes an opportunity to take part.

:20:49. > :20:50.Our reporter and former Paralympian Kate Grey

:20:51. > :20:55.caught up with one of it's stars, Northern Ireland's Claire Taggart.

:20:56. > :21:02.Until four years ago, neither had Claire Taggart.

:21:03. > :21:07.Now she's off to Rio to compete in her first Paralympic Games.

:21:08. > :21:14.When people ask me, are you excited about going to Rio, I'm thrilled.

:21:15. > :21:18.I don't think it'll be real until I get on that plane.

:21:19. > :21:21.I didn't think it would even be an option, if I'm honest with you,

:21:22. > :21:25.Boccia is a sport played by athletes with the most severe disabilities

:21:26. > :21:31.So, disabilities likes muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy.

:21:32. > :21:38.Once all the balls have been thrown, the team

:21:39. > :21:44.6,000 miles from Rio is Claire's home town in Northern Ireland

:21:45. > :21:47.where a lot of the hard work takes place.

:21:48. > :21:57.I have some pigeons for company there in the hall sometimes.

:21:58. > :22:02.How do you keep yourself motivated when you haven't got team-mates

:22:03. > :22:05.around you or competition all the time.

:22:06. > :22:07.Someone will post in our messaging group,

:22:13. > :22:17.Your life hasn't always been this way.

:22:18. > :22:19.It's changed quite a lot over the last four years.

:22:20. > :22:22.Take us through what you've gone through.

:22:23. > :22:24.I started stumbling and falling about five years ago.

:22:25. > :22:30.but I got diagnosed with a condition called dystonia.

:22:31. > :22:33.That means abnormal posturing and muscle contractures.

:22:34. > :22:40.Yeah, everything is just back to what I could do.

:22:41. > :22:48.It's been crazy the amount of people I don't know who are saying

:22:49. > :22:56.I still see myself as a little girl from Larne who just throws balls.

:22:57. > :22:59.You sit here very confidently and talk about it in a very positive

:23:00. > :23:01.way, having a disability, being in a wheelchair.

:23:02. > :23:11.If I'm having a bad dad, I have to remind myself that's the focus.

:23:12. > :23:20.but the good days will outweigh the bad days.

:23:21. > :23:24.And good luck to Claire Taggart, who's off to Rio.

:23:25. > :23:26.It's been 12 years, but Bridget Jones is back

:23:27. > :23:31.Hopelessly romantic and always shambolic,

:23:32. > :23:33.in the intervening years Bridget has grown up.

:23:34. > :23:36.She's become a serious news producer and the actress who plays her,

:23:37. > :23:38.Renee Zellweger, did some of her research for the part

:23:39. > :23:43.Fiona Bruce has been talking to her about that

:23:44. > :23:51.and the risk of returning to a role for the a third time.

:23:52. > :23:57.So there I was, surrounded by my friends and all ready

:23:58. > :24:19.I didn't want to make a film that didn't matter,

:24:20. > :24:22.characters that seem to resonate with people on such

:24:23. > :24:27.It would feel like a betrayal if we just made anything at all.

:24:42. > :24:44.I love that she carries on despite the challenges that she faces.

:24:45. > :24:48.One challenge is that as Bridget has aged,

:24:49. > :24:56.And the almost inevitable online chat about her changing appearance

:24:57. > :24:59.has made headlines around the world, to her dismay.

:25:00. > :25:05.When you see something that, you know, is not true becoming
