The Prime Minister steps into the junior doctors dispute

:00:00.:00:09.

The Prime Minister criticises the junior doctors' planned strike in

:00:10.:00:14.

England as yet more walk-outs are announced for the rest of the year.

:00:15.:00:18.

Theresa May attacks the British medical association over the planned

:00:19.:00:21.

five day walk out in a dispute over pay and working hours.

:00:22.:00:24.

This is a deal that is safe for patients.

:00:25.:00:26.

The Government is putting patients first.

:00:27.:00:27.

The BMA should be putting patients first, not playing

:00:28.:00:29.

We are not playing politics either with junior doctors all with

We are not playing politics either with junior doctors or with

:00:34.:00:36.

This contract has been rejected by junior doctors.

:00:37.:00:39.

They have rejected it because they have

:00:40.:00:41.

The latest strikes were announced in the last half an hour. We will have

:01:25.:02:03.

News at Six PM. Doctors leaders have just announced that junior doctors

:02:04.:02:15.

plan to walk out on three more five-day strikes between now and

:02:16.:02:25.

Christmas. That's on top of the strike already announced for this

:02:26.:02:32.

month. The move comes after the Prime Minister attacked the British

:02:33.:02:34.

Medical Association accusing them of playing politics rather than putting

:02:35.:02:37.

patients first. They are protesting against the new pay and working

:02:38.:02:40.

hours contract imposed on them by the government.

:02:41.:02:43.

One hospital, like so many others, with a lot of extra work to do

:02:44.:02:46.

Here at Colchester General, they're having to plan to bring

:02:47.:02:50.

in consultants to cover striking junior doctor colleagues

:02:51.:02:52.

for emergency work and for a longer strike than the last one in April.

:02:53.:02:56.

We coped before and indeed we'll cope again, but it is going to be

:02:57.:02:59.

more difficult this time as we've only got 12 days to plan

:03:00.:03:02.

and of course that's taking essential staff away from the jobs

:03:03.:03:04.

Junior doctors won concessions on safety, but their demands

:03:05.:03:08.

still include: a more generous weekend pay allowance.

:03:09.:03:10.

More detail on how the Government plans to achieve a full

:03:11.:03:13.

More protection for women and part-time workers.

:03:14.:03:16.

The main issues haven't changed, but what we didn't know,

:03:17.:03:18.

until today, was what the new Prime Minister thought about them.

:03:19.:03:21.

In her first public comments on the junior doctors' dispute,

:03:22.:03:23.

Theresa May made clear there'd be no immediate change of tact

:03:24.:03:26.

by the Government and she gave her backing to the Health Secretary.

:03:27.:03:29.

We've got record levels of funding in the NHS.

:03:30.:03:31.

We've got more doctors now in the NHS than we've seen

:03:32.:03:34.

in its history and this is a deal that is safe for patients.

:03:35.:03:37.

The Government is putting patients first, the BMA should be

:03:38.:03:39.

putting patients first, not playing politics.

:03:40.:03:41.

But junior doctor representatives denied they were playing politics

:03:42.:03:44.

and said the Government should now halt the imposition of a contract

:03:45.:03:47.

which had been rejected by BMA members.

:03:48.:03:49.

We don't want to take industrial action at all.

:03:50.:03:51.

All this would take is the Government saying to us,

:03:52.:03:53.

right now, we're going to lift the imposition.

:03:54.:03:55.

We're not going to force a contract upon junior doctors.

:03:56.:03:59.

We already have a contract that allows us to work weekends.

:04:00.:04:02.

I'm an A trainee, I work one in two weekends.

:04:03.:04:07.

For patients, like Simon, there's now uncertainty and worry

:04:08.:04:14.

with routine procedures set to be postponed.

:04:15.:04:17.

He's waiting for an operation for kidney stones, but doesn't know

:04:18.:04:19.

My heart's with the doctors, I wouldn't want to say doctors

:04:20.:04:26.

are bad, they shouldn't be striking but, at the same time,

:04:27.:04:29.

I'm sort of going - hang on a minute, I'm

:04:30.:04:32.

Essentially, it's an hour's operation.

:04:33.:04:37.

It's a very simple thing that has to be done, but there's only a few

:04:38.:04:40.

people who can do it and I'm stuck in pain waiting for the very few

:04:41.:04:44.

There's no junior doctor dispute in Scotland,

:04:45.:04:47.

Wales and Northern Ireland as there are no plans

:04:48.:04:49.

Meanwhile, in England, the direction of travel doesn't

:04:50.:04:53.

seem to be leading back to the negotiating table.

:04:54.:05:01.

In the last half-hour we have heard from BMA members of plans for

:05:02.:05:07.

further strikes beyond the one already planned for September. The

:05:08.:05:11.

next one will begin on Wednesday October five, as it happens the last

:05:12.:05:14.

day of the Conservative Party conference. There will be a strike

:05:15.:05:17.

on the Thursday and Friday that we cant normal cover over the weekend

:05:18.:05:21.

and strikes on Monday and Tuesday the following week. The next

:05:22.:05:23.

five-day action will begin on November 14 and then one on December

:05:24.:05:30.

the 5th. All of that means further challenges for hospital managers,

:05:31.:05:33.

further uncertainty for patients, further backlogs in routine

:05:34.:05:36.

operations and procedures, assuming of course that there is no

:05:37.:05:40.

resolution to this dispute and though strikes actually take place.

:05:41.:05:43.

Health editor Hugh Pym, thank you. Police have named the 10-year-old

:05:44.:05:45.

boy and his 34-year-old aunt who were killed yesterday afternoon

:05:46.:05:48.

in London when a car being chased Makayah McDermott and Rosie Cooper

:05:49.:05:50.

were walking on the pavement with three other children when they

:05:51.:05:57.

were hit. Police are continuing to question a

:05:58.:05:59.

man in connection with their deaths. It was a summer's afternoon but not

:06:00.:06:11.

always best spent in the park, and that's where they were heading when

:06:12.:06:17.

this happened. Makayah McDermott died, crushed by the car, like all

:06:18.:06:22.

the children he was a talented actor, auditioned for a TBC reads

:06:23.:06:26.

and his aunt Rosanne Cooper was also killed. Her daughter and Makayah's

:06:27.:06:31.

sisters are being treated in hospital. The car that hit them had

:06:32.:06:35.

been reported stolen shortly before and pursued by police three South

:06:36.:06:40.

London. After the crash the driver fled only to be corded by officers

:06:41.:06:47.

nearby. Flowers arrived this afternoon, accompanied by memories

:06:48.:06:52.

of the victims. I don't know Rosie massively well but the one thing I

:06:53.:06:56.

do know about her is she never had a bad word to say about anybody. She

:06:57.:07:01.

was the kindest, friendliest, warmest person. When something like

:07:02.:07:05.

this happens there is always an independent inquiry to consider the

:07:06.:07:10.

fast-moving decisions which had to be made when someone fails to spot,

:07:11.:07:16.

stop the police. Alan Kitchener is an ex-police officer, now driving

:07:17.:07:19.

instructor, who has been at the wheel and at the control room during

:07:20.:07:24.

pursuits. Is a constant management of the risk because things change

:07:25.:07:29.

from second to second. To help controllers decide whether to

:07:30.:07:34.

continue officers in the car are taught to commentate on those risks

:07:35.:07:39.

over the radio. The pedestrian who might step out and might not see us

:07:40.:07:43.

coming and then the bend on the road and it dips down, Junction to the

:07:44.:07:47.

right. It's impressive the amount of detail but this is a technical place

:07:48.:07:51.

where a pursuit might happen. If you didn't pursue in the sort of place

:07:52.:07:54.

that is more risky you'd never catch anyone. Many pursuits are called

:07:55.:08:00.

off, I've called off lots in my career because the risk outweighs

:08:01.:08:05.

the benefit of catching the offender. Investigators are now

examining video footage from the police car involved and its built-in

:08:10.:08:14.

data recorder. Tom Symons BBC News, south London.

:08:15.:08:16.

There was a strong rebound in manufacturing in the UK last month.

:08:17.:08:18.

Latest figures show the sector bounced back unexpectedly

:08:19.:08:25.

following a big drop in July following the vote to leave the EU.

:08:26.:08:28.

And one of the main reasons for that is the weaker pound,

:08:29.:08:31.

making our goods cheaper for foreign companies to buy.

:08:32.:08:33.

Our Economics Correspondent Andy Verity is here.

:08:34.:08:35.

These figures weren't expected, were they?

:08:36.:08:40.

Not at all. The consensus from economists was much poorer. This is

:08:41.:08:46.

not just sentiment, it is relatively hard data so you are asking the

:08:47.:08:49.

decision makers, the key people who make decisions on what to buy, this

:08:50.:08:54.

applies to die, to meet the orders coming in at the cutting edge of the

:08:55.:08:58.

economy, asking them whether things are getting better or worse, or

:08:59.:09:01.

staying the same and more than half of them are saying they are getting

:09:02.:09:05.

better in August. Part of the reason as you mention, the weaker pound,

:09:06.:09:11.

look at what has happened since the vote. It started in the 140s, you

:09:12.:09:15.

can see the drop getting down to 130 or so and now is back up to about

:09:16.:09:23.

133 but substantially less. It means foreign companies buying British

:09:24.:09:27.

manufactured goods are paying effectively 10% less so the goods

:09:28.:09:31.

are a lot more competitive. On the other hand, we also see in the data

:09:32.:09:34.

the flip side which is that the manufacturers have to decide what to

:09:35.:09:43.

buy in. They might pay for wood pulp in dollars and that has gone up

:09:44.:09:46.

because pounds by fewer dollars and that buys less of the goods. 44% of

:09:47.:09:51.

firms say supply costs are up but what is interesting about this is

:09:52.:09:54.

the weaker pound seems to be having a stimulating effect on the economy

:09:55.:09:59.

in the way in which lower interest rates have not succeeded so far.

:10:00.:10:01.

Thank you. The Government is to spend ?20

:10:02.:10:03.

million on improving the performance Services have been hit

:10:04.:10:06.

by months of disruption, strikes and a reduced service

during a test-firing of the rocket which was due to take a satellite

:10:32.:10:35.

into space this weekend. Space X said the explosion,

:10:36.:10:37.

which shook buildings several miles away, was the result

of an anomaly on the launchpad It's the biggest biomedical research

centre in Europe Today, the Francis Crick Institute

:10:43.:10:50.

in London officially opened its doors to more than 1,200 scientists

:10:51.:10:54.

from around the world who will be based there working on new ways to

:10:55.:10:57.

diagnose, treat and prevent conditions such as cancer, heart

:10:58.:11:00.

disease and stroke. Our medical correspondent Fergus

:11:01.:11:02.

Walsh has been to take a look. London has a new landmark,

:11:03.:11:12.

the Crick, named after This cathedral to science is right

:11:13.:11:16.

behind the British Library As well as what you can see,

:11:17.:11:23.

there are four storeys below ground, which will house scanners,

:11:24.:11:29.

electron microscopes This is my laboratory and we've

:11:30.:11:31.

already started work. One of the first scientists to move

:11:32.:11:38.

in is its Nobel Prize-winning director, Sir Paul Nurse,

:11:39.:11:41.

who's working on cell division, fundamental to our understanding

:11:42.:11:43.

of diseases like cancer. We would attract brilliant

:11:44.:11:49.

scientists from around the world and take on the biology

:11:50.:11:52.

underpinning diseases like heart disease, stroke,

:11:53.:11:55.

diabetes, neuro degeneration and push forward biomedical research

:11:56.:11:57.

well into the 21st Century. When it's fully open next year,

:11:58.:12:04.

the Crick will be home to more than 1,200 scientists from every

:12:05.:12:07.

field of medical research. A building on this vast scale

:12:08.:12:09.

is a tangible public statement about the importance of science

:12:10.:12:15.

in Britain and the hope will be that the discoveries made

:12:16.:12:18.

here will eventually benefit us all. HIV, TB, malaria and flu will all be

:12:19.:12:27.

studied in high containment laboratories off this corridor

:12:28.:12:33.

and the ultimate goal A better understanding will always

:12:34.:12:35.

lead to the ability to find new drug targets and,

:12:36.:12:44.

ultimately,, if we can work out the specifics

:12:45.:12:51.

of how these things work, Brexit will have an impact and mean

:12:52.:12:53.

the loss of planned EU funding, but the Crick's top scientists

:12:54.:13:00.

saying the building sends a powerful international message

:13:01.:13:03.

that is Britain is open for us. Junior doctors have announced three

:13:04.:13:24.

more five-day strikes between now and Christmas as their dispute with

:13:25.:13:27.

the government over the new contract intensifies.

:13:28.:13:30.

And later in the programme, the BBC's got a new reporter.

:13:31.:13:32.

This is Bridget know. Matt Jones reporting for BBC News.

:13:33.:13:38.

Swiss prosecutors investigate German football legend Franz Beckenbauer

:13:39.:13:41.

looking into the successful bid to host the 2006 World Cup.

:13:42.:13:54.

There's been a big rise in demand for psychiatric care,

:13:55.:13:57.

and it's putting considerable pressure on the NHS.

:13:58.:13:59.

BBC News has seen evidence that some homeless people who've been treated

:14:00.:14:02.

for mental health problems are being discharged from hospitals

:14:03.:14:05.

The numbers of rough sleepers with mental health problems

:14:06.:14:09.

has tripled in the past six years in London alone.

:14:10.:14:12.

As our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan reports,

:14:13.:14:14.

getting them proper treatment is highly problematic.

:14:15.:14:24.

His report contains some flashing images.

:14:25.:14:26.

I'm going to do a mental health assessment on a bloke.

:14:27.:14:32.

For three months, this team have been looking for one man.

:14:33.:14:34.

There he is. Yes.

:14:35.:14:37.

Good. How is everything?

:14:38.:14:47.

He's a rough sleeper, sometimes volatile.

:14:48.:14:49.

With police support, Fatima Taylor, a psychiatric nurse,

:14:50.:14:51.

I don't think you're coping out here.

:14:52.:14:57.

The outreach team believe his health has deteriorated

:14:58.:15:00.

and that he should be detained under the Mental Health Act.

:15:01.:15:02.

I've seen you walk about talking to yourself.

:15:03.:15:05.

And I've seen you scream at people walking in front of you.

:15:06.:15:13.

I don't want mental health, I'm not mental.

:15:14.:15:15.

She can't get any doctors to come and assist as the law requires.

:15:16.:15:25.

It's so unpredictable when you find somebody so chaotic

:15:26.:15:39.

striving nightly to support rough sleepers with mental health needs.

:15:40.:15:53.

Ed's rang and said you are feeling a bit low.

:15:54.:15:55.

An innovative approach from the charity Thames Reach

:15:56.:15:57.

Amid the constant bustle an increasing case load

:15:58.:16:11.

The man in the shorts has been sectioned.

:16:12.:16:14.

And where were you sleeping before that?

:16:15.:16:17.

On the street, homeless. For how long was that?

:16:18.:16:19.

Seven years now. Seven years?

:16:20.:16:20.

He's homeless and a regular drug user.

:16:21.:16:22.

In recent weeks, his behaviour has become erratic.

:16:23.:16:24.

Yeah, because the doctors have made a decision, and myself,

:16:25.:16:26.

that you will be better off in hospital.

:16:27.:16:28.

He's been sectioned several times before and calmly heads to hospital.

:16:29.:16:35.

As he departs, so do we, to a bin chute in a block of flats.

:16:36.:16:39.

But it stinks. I know.

:16:40.:16:54.

she's been sectioned often suffering from schizophrenia.

:16:55.:17:03.

The outreach team found her, housed her, saved her.

:17:04.:17:06.

I'm a lot better now, I've got my own home.

:17:07.:17:08.

Yeah? Yeah.

:17:09.:17:09.

How's your mental health? It's all right, it's controlled.

:17:10.:17:12.

But you can't make mental health right overnight.

:17:13.:17:18.

Her relative progress a source of inspiration

:17:19.:17:20.

Back on the streets a familiar figure,

:17:21.:17:26.

He'd been discharged from hospital after just two days.

:17:27.:17:33.

The outreach team said the NHS had failed to

:17:34.:17:36.

They fall through the cracks all the time.

:17:37.:17:40.

It's a matter of substance misuse, drug-induced psychosis.

:17:41.:17:42.

It's nothing to do with their mental health.

:17:43.:17:45.

The man will now have to fend for himself until his next crisis,

:17:46.:17:55.

revolving between hospital and homelessness,

:17:56.:17:58.

Michael Buchanan, BBC News, East London.

:17:59.:18:05.

People who don't own a television but use the BBC iPlayer to catch up

:18:06.:18:09.

on shows must pay for a TV licence from today.

:18:10.:18:13.

Until now, only viewers who were watching shows as they were being

:18:14.:18:16.

The new rules close the so-called "iPlayer loophole".

:18:17.:18:20.

Our media correspondent David Sillito reports.

:18:21.:18:31.

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

:18:32.:18:37.

home had a television you paid a license and then came the iPlayer.

:18:38.:18:42.

Suddenly you could watch the BBC on all sorts of devices without paying.

:18:43.:18:49.

But no longer. A lot of people, especially younger people, are

:18:50.:18:53.

facing a choice. I watch iPlayer to watch BBC TV. I don't have a trchlt

:18:54.:19:00.

V license and I don't think I'd buy one for iPlayer. I do watch iPlayer.

:19:01.:19:04.

I don't have a TV licence. I'll have to get one. The question is, how do

:19:05.:19:10.

you enforce it? One thing has changed today. When you press that

:19:11.:19:18.

play button the programme no longer plays immediately, you get this

:19:19.:19:22.

prompt asking if you've paid your licence fee. But, how can they be

:19:23.:19:29.

sure you have Detectives are out in force seeking TV bandits. It was

:19:30.:19:34.

never clear how the old style detective vans worked. This is a

:19:35.:19:38.

completely different problem fraught with legal issues. . The BBC could

:19:39.:19:44.

inspect its log files to see who's accessed its service. That has

:19:45.:19:50.

massive and privacy legal complicationses. Google got into

:19:51.:19:56.

trouble knifing traffic. It was find severely. So, the easiest option for

:19:57.:20:01.

the BBC and their enforcement teams is to knock on people's doors, ask

:20:02.:20:07.

if they've used iPlayer and watch to see if they lie. May I see your TV

:20:08.:20:13.

licence, pleas. The knock on the door method's been around for a long

:20:14.:20:18.

time. This matters to the BBC. This iPlayer issue has, it's said, led to

The Paralympic Games begin in Rio next Wednesday.

:20:36.:20:37.

we're hearing from some of the athletes representing Great Britain.

:20:38.:20:42.

Boccia is perhaps one of the least known sports,

:20:43.:20:44.

but it's also one of the most inclusive,

:20:45.:20:46.

offering the most-disabled athletes an opportunity to take part.

:20:47.:20:48.

Our reporter and former Paralympian Kate Grey

:20:49.:20:50.

caught up with one of it's stars, Northern Ireland's Claire Taggart.

:20:51.:20:55.

Until four years ago, neither had Claire Taggart.

:20:56.:21:02.

Now she's off to Rio to compete in her first Paralympic Games.

:21:03.:21:07.

When people ask me, are you excited about going to Rio, I'm thrilled.

:21:08.:21:14.

I don't think it'll be real until I get on that plane.

:21:15.:21:18.

I didn't think it would even be an option, if I'm honest with you,

:21:19.:21:21.

Boccia is a sport played by athletes with the most severe disabilities

:21:22.:21:25.

So, disabilities likes muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy.

:21:26.:21:31.

Once all the balls have been thrown, the team

:21:32.:21:38.

6,000 miles from Rio is Claire's home town in Northern Ireland

:21:39.:21:44.

where a lot of the hard work takes place.

:21:45.:21:47.

I have some pigeons for company there in the hall sometimes.

:21:48.:21:57.

How do you keep yourself motivated when you haven't got team-mates

:21:58.:22:02.

around you or competition all the time.

:22:03.:22:05.

Someone will post in our messaging group,

:22:06.:22:07.

Then we'll all be doing that that week to beat that person's score.

:22:08.:22:12.

Your life hasn't always been this way.

:22:13.:22:17.

It's changed quite a lot over the last four years.

:22:18.:22:19.

Take us through what you've gone through.

:22:20.:22:22.

I started stumbling and falling about five years ago.

:22:23.:22:24.

but I got diagnosed with a condition called dystonia.

:22:25.:22:30.

That means abnormal posturing and muscle contractures.

:22:31.:22:33.

Yeah, everything is just back to what I could do.

:22:34.:22:40.

It's been crazy the amount of people I don't know who are saying

:22:41.:22:48.

I still see myself as a little girl from Larne who just throws balls.

:22:49.:22:56.

You sit here very confidently and talk about it in a very positive

:22:57.:22:59.

way, having a disability, being in a wheelchair.

:23:00.:23:01.

If I'm having a bad dad, I have to remind myself that's the focus.

:23:02.:23:11.

but the good days will outweigh the bad days.

:23:12.:23:20.

And good luck to Claire Taggart, who's off to Rio.

:23:21.:23:24.

It's been 12 years, but Bridget Jones is back

:23:25.:23:26.

Hopelessly romantic and always shambolic,

:23:27.:23:31.

in the intervening years Bridget has grown up.

:23:32.:23:33.

She's become a serious news producer and the actress who plays her,

:23:34.:23:36.

Renee Zellweger, did some of her research for the part

:23:37.:23:38.

Fiona Bruce has been talking to her about that

:23:39.:23:43.

and the risk of returning to a role for the a third time.

:23:44.:23:51.

So there I was, surrounded by my friends and all ready

:23:52.:23:57.

I didn't want to make a film that didn't matter,

:23:58.:24:19.

characters that seem to resonate with people on such

:24:20.:24:22.

It would feel like a betrayal if we just made anything at all.

:24:23.:24:27.

Things appear at first to be looking up for Bridget Jones.

:24:28.:24:29.

A generation of British women have grown up with Bridget and so many

:24:30.:24:36.

people identify with her, I mean that's quite

:24:37.:24:38.

I love her humanity, her vulnerability.

:24:39.:24:41.

I love that she carries on despite the challenges that she faces.

:24:42.:24:44.

One challenge is that as Bridget has aged,

:24:45.:24:48.

And the almost inevitable online chat about her changing appearance

:24:49.:24:56.

has made headlines around the world, to her dismay.

:24:57.:24:59.

When you see something that, you know, is not true becoming

:25:00.:25:05.

the truth simply because it's been repeated enough, it makes

:25:06.:25:07.

Back in the world of Bridget Jones, an unexpected pregnancy brings

:25:08.:25:14.

a dilemma - the father could be one of two men.

:25:15.:25:40.

How could she lose, they were both kinds of right. Bridget is juggling

:25:41.:25:46.

impending mother hood with a career as a news producer. You know what,

:25:47.:25:52.

this weekend, you and me need to go out and get stuck into some

:25:53.:25:55.

serious... Bring drinking. You came into the BBC News room

:25:56.:26:01.

to have a look behind-the-scenes, I was lucky enough

:26:02.:26:04.

to meet you that day. What did you think of it,

:26:05.:26:06.

and did How could she lose, How you keep so calm and keep your

:26:07.:26:24.

composure through it all, it's impressive. Very impressive. Do you

:26:25.:26:29.

know, I think she has a taste for it. This is Bridget Jones reporting

:26:30.:26:34.

for the BBC News. Back to you, Fiona!

:26:35.:26:37.
