From workers' rights to farming - thousands of EU laws will be | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
transferred to the UK's law books as the country prepares for Brexit. | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
We want a smooth and orderly exit, the Great Repeal Bill is integral to | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
that approach. Ministers say it means | :00:21. | :00:21. | |
the laws can then be kept, changed or scrapped once the UK has | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
left the European Union. Birds and their habitats, | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
water, pollution - most of the UK's environmental laws | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
currently come from the EU. So what impact will | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
the repeal bill have? The toddler who died after his | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
surgery was repeatedly delayed - two surgeons decide to speak out | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
about one of Britain's biggest Five members of the same family die | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
after their helicopter And Syria's children - | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
we return to the city of Homs which was devastated by war | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
as they try to rebuild their lives. And coming up in the | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
sport on BBC News... Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
is confident Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil want to stay | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
at the club but says his own future Good evening and welcome | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
to the BBC News at 6. There are thousands and thousands | :01:12. | :01:33. | |
of pieces of EU legislation that currently shape almost every aspect | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
of our lives in the UK. But today the government | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
outlined its plans to transfer them into British law | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
as the United Kingdom The Great Repeal Bill | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
will effectively "copy and paste" all those EU laws onto our statute | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
books to avoid what ministers Once done - parliament - | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
and the devolved assemblies - will then have the power to scrap, | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
amend or improve them. Our Political Editor Laura | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Kuenssberg reports. Locked inside the tower, preserved | :02:04. | :02:17. | |
for safekeeping. Scrolls and scrolls and scrolls of the laws of our land. | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
But, this one, that has shaped so much for decades, will be | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
disappearing. Repealed, rolled back. The act that took us into the EU. | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
He wants to pass instead a huge set of new laws which will put the | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
thousands and thousands and thousands of European measures which | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
currently govern us into the British statute books. As we exit the EU and | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
seek a new, deep and special partnership with the European Union, | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
we will be doing so from a position where we have the same standards and | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
rules. It will also ensure that we deliver on our promise to end the | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
supremacy of European law in the UK as we exit. In other words, on the | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
day that powers come back to Westminster from the year, the law | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
will not just disappear. The repeal Bill will essentially cut and paste | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
the lot from Brussels bucks back to the UK. But Labour is worried that | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
the Tories may take the chance to sneak through some changes. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
All rights and protections derived from EU law must be can | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
converted without limitations. Ministers deny that there is any | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
plot but there will be a fight, listen to this... I was sovereign | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
parliament will have the power to amend, repeal or improve all of this | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
ghastly EU legislation. If he panders too much to the secret, not | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
so secret, agenda of the Barmy Army Eure Skeptas prominent behind him, | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
he will not get the corporation he otherwise would. With the law under | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
the union flag, the government has promised that power will be spread | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
around the UK but with precious little detail... | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
The government has pushed the big red button marked Brexit, with | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
fingers crossed and little idea of what comes next. Brexit means | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
sorting out thousands of compensated laws and regulations. In the rush of | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
getting that done, there is clear that ministers could grab extra | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
power. As we leave, it is politicians | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
abroad who could really try to make us suffer. EU leaders were not | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
exactly sunning themselves in the Maltese capital today... | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
Bunkered in the gloom of a conference centre instead. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
Firm and downbeat about the prospects of a happy ending. Brexit | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
has made us the community of 2017 more determined and United than | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
before. We will remain determined and united | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
in future. Can it be done in two years? Ministers know that they | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
cannot just breeze through the nitty-gritty of Brexit. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
The repeal Bill is just the start, and it is more than just tidying up | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
a fuel laws -- a fuel laws, but an exercise in control, and power. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, in Westminster. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
The process of converting EU law into British law, | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
while also leaving out the bits that the Government | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
doesn't want to keep, is no small task. | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
There are currently around 12,000 EU regulations in force - | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
They cover everything from banking and the chemicals | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
industry, to agriculture and the airline industry. | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
Our correspondents have been looking at the impact | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
the repeal bill could have - starting with the environment. | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
They have been trading livestock here for generations. But for | :05:39. | :05:53. | |
farmers, big changes are on the way... Out of the European Union, | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
and out of the Common agricultural policy. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
For some, is the opportunity to transform the industry, but for | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
others like Julie George, there is concern about the loss of ?2.5 | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
billion of EU substitutes currently paid to UK farmers every year. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
-- subsidies. It is very worrying for farmers, knowing that we only | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
have 2020 where we are guaranteed this money from Europe. After that, | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
nobody knows. Nobody has given us the information we all deserve. | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
Decisions about future agriculture policy will be taken closer to home | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
We've got to make the best of what we can now. | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
The trouble is, everybody wants to produce food as cheap as we can. | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
So we're going to have to produce food cheap. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Farmers here told me they are feeling uncertain about the future. | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
They know that a shake-up is on its way. | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
For some, it's a time to create new opportunities | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
Open skies, that's basically the agreement that means that | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
British airlines can fly all over Europe and the European | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
It's one of the reasons why we have those cheap European | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
tickets at the moment, but that deal comes to an end in two | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
So the big question is - what happens next? | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Like so many things at the moment, it all depends on the UK | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
and the European Union cutting a new deal before | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
The boss of Europe's biggest airline, Michael O'Leary, | :07:26. | :07:35. | |
He's warned that European flights could be suspended in March 2019 | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Other major players don't share his apocalyptic view. | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
EasyJet is Britain's biggest airline and they tell me they're very | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
confident a new agreement will be reached that will mean business | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
It should be relatively straight-forward, they say, | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
and both sides have too much to lose without it. | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
Like so many industries, the airlines are piling | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
on the pressure for an early settlement, possibly even | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
They plan their flight schedules up to 18 months in advance, | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
and they need to be certain that people can still get away once | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
The lives of young children are being put at risk at one | :08:22. | :08:31. | |
of the UK's biggest children's hospitals - | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
because of the intense pressure to tackle waiting lists. | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
That's according to two senior surgeons at the Royal Manchester | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
They decided to speak out after one little boy died when his urgent | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
With this exclusive report, here's our Health Editor Hugh Pym. | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
One-and-a-half-year-old Kayden - he was admitted to hospital | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
for emergency surgery which should have been straightforward, | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
His family say their lives were torn apart. | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
You don't expect to take a baby to hospital and come away without him. | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
His grandmother, Julie, spent a harrowing week at | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Royal Manchester Children's Hospital in April last year. | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
Nobody would listen to how much pain he was in, | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
His mother was too upset to be interviewed. | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
Kayden was diagnosed on a Monday, doctors saying he needed | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
an operation for a hernia in his chest which | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
He became critically ill and never recovered. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
He was basically put in a room and left. | :09:35. | :09:45. | |
And all we got, nearly every day was, "he's not having | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
the operation today, he's not having the operation today." | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
The hospital have told the BBC that Kayden's death | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
They said for some time before that, they were warning | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
management about the shortage of operating theatres. | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
Paediatric surgeon Basem Khalil says there was a top-down focus | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
on bringing down waiting lists for planned or elective surgery | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
One of the consultant surgeons had offered | :10:06. | :10:17. | |
with elective patients on it, so that he could do | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
But did not receive the support that he needed. | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
That doctor, he believes, felt he did not have the authority | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
to change his planned surgery to accommodate Kayden. | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
The hospital did not take any substantive actions, | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
with regards to warnings that we were given - | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
I feel that the children are being let down, and that | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
despite the amazing work that we are capable | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
of doing and are doing, we have been let down, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
And I think that is completely unacceptable. | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
Another surgeon who retired in January this year was highly | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
critical of the culture at the hospital. | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
I was part of the group that wrote a letter to the medical director, | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
saying that the children's surgical services were unsafe last year. | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
I think it is an indictment of the management. | :11:16. | :11:25. | |
The medical director of the trust which runs the hospital | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
What do you say to the suggestion that you are prioritising routine, | :11:29. | :11:41. | |
elective care, and urgent cases sometimes suffer? | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
There is no instruction in this organisation | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
which priorities elective surgery over emergency surgery. | :11:53. | :11:53. | |
The hospital has apologised to Kayden's family, | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
and said delays that led to his death were unacceptable. | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
But Julie says they still feel their loss as acutely as ever. | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
I listen to my daughter and I cry, because of what my | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
She will ring me and say, I can't do this no more... | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
You know, or she'll ring me and say that she's going | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
How much more does this tell us about the pressures on the NHS? | :12:15. | :12:36. | |
Sophie, a sad and shocking story. It does raise the issue of the rising | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
workload faced by hospitals, the need to provide constant urgent and | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
emergency care and the need to bring down rising waiting lists. Royal | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Manchester Children's Hospital insist that they have the right | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
safety culture and processes, but the internal investigation into the | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
death of Kayden said urgent lessons needed to be learned about | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
"Prioritising non-electives, urgent cases, above elective ones". The | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
fact that two surgeons at this hospital felt they had to come to | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
the BBC to voice concerns about safety and lives being at risk, and | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
things weren't quite right, management not listening, I believe | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
it tells you something. We learned tonight that health regulators, | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
including NHS Improvement, are looking very closely at what is | :13:25. | :13:36. | |
going on. Few pen, thank you. -- Hugh Pym. | :13:37. | :13:37. | |
Five members of the same family have been confirmed | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
dead after a helicopter they were travelling in crashed | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
The aircraft disappeared on a flight from Luton to Dublin, yesterday. | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Search teams found the wreckage this morning. | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
It should have been a routine helicopter flight, and we understand | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
it was going to a family christening in Ireland, but for Kevin and Ruth | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
Burke, the helicopter crashed en route in the mountains behind me. We | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
do not know why, their bodies were not found, and the wreckage was not | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
found, for many hours because of the difficult to rain involved. -- | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
terrain. It was in this remote mountainous | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
area of Snowdonia where rescue teams found the wreckage of the helicopter | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
and five bodies. Volunteers had combed the peaks | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
and valleys in appalling weather Police blocked off the few | :14:16. | :14:17. | |

all of whom are deceased. We are now preserving the scene | :14:26. | :14:29. | |

were husband and wife Ruth and Kevin Burke and three other | :14:33. | :14:44. | |
members of their wider family. Mr and Mrs Burke lived | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
in the village of Hulcote, This is the type of | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
helicopter which crashed, It took off from near Luton | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
yesterday lunchtime but failed to arrive | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
at its destination in Ireland. It was initially thought it had | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
crashed into the sea but it was then established it had disappeared | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
from radar in North Wales. Police described search conditions | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
as "atrocious" with visibility down The aircraft was eventually found | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
by a volunteer mountain rescue team in a remote spot some | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
miles from here. This afternoon an RAF | :15:20. | :15:21. | |

Fortuna Hjorring, hoping to become the first British side to reach | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
the semis for three seasons. It's six years since | :16:07. | :16:16. | |
the war in Syria began - since then more than five million | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
Syrians have fled the violence The city of Homs - | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
a key battle ground in the uprising is now almost completely back | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
in government control. But that wasn't the case three years | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
ago when our Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet reported | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
from the old city. Whilst filming there she met | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
eight-year-old Baraha, who'd lost her mother | :16:39. | :16:39. | |
in the conflict. Lyse decided to return to Homs, | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
to find the little girl. Besieged and bombarded | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
for two years. The government finally allowed | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
some families to leave. One of the most traumatised children | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
I'd seen in this war. Baraha is now one of | :17:02. | :17:19. | |
the oldest in her class. These eager kids know | :17:20. | :17:37. | |
learning matters. So many Syrian children | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
aren't in school. You know, in some ways of course | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
this is terrific to see, children just being children | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
here in Syria, in a place which has seen some of the worst | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
fighting of the war. And now an ordinary day | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
with children going to Through the alleyways | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
of the old city, now The last time I was here | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
it looked like this. Later a mortar almost hit | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
Baraha and her sister. So I met you three years ago | :18:29. | :18:45. | |
and now you are almost 12. You are OK, you are sleeping at | :18:46. | :18:55. | |
night, you don't have bad memories? TRANSLATION: Thank God | :18:56. | :19:07. | |
I forget everything. When I go to bed I remember | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
when I had a part in a play, I remember school, what I did | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
during the day. Hard for her father to forget, | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
now bringing up four Heading into her future, | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
this little girl has already It's the same for all of them, | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
children all across this country. Their fate still lies | :19:31. | :19:41. | |
in Syria's hands. Cakes, biscuits, | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
sweets and chocolates. Our children may love them, | :19:45. | :19:54. | |
but they contain large amounts of sugar, which is linked | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
to obesity and diabetes. Now health officials say they want | :19:57. | :20:07. | |
to cut the amount of sugar in such foods by 20% in the next three years | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
as Jane Draper reports. But eating too much sugar | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
is rotting children's teeth A third of children | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
are overweight or obese Now as part of government plans | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
to tackle the problem, the food industry is being given | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
new limits for how much sugar should Companies are being urged | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
to reformulate their products so that they contain less sugar, | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
or to make them smaller. The aim is for the UK's annual diet | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
to contain 200,000 fewer We expect people to see over time | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
smaller chocolate bars, smaller cakes, smaller biscuits, | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
particularly when they eat away from home, in family | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
restaurants and so on. We also expect people not | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
to notice the changes, because we know if changes | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
are gradually made to our food, Your bread is now 40% less salty | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
than it was ten years ago. Everyday foods like | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
these will be affected. The companies that make them | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
are being told to cut their sugar Cafes and restaurants | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
are being told to take action too, because up to a third | :21:15. | :21:27. | |
of the calories we eat are now And there will also be | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
the new tax on sugary drinks, Dieticians say there's no | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
time to lose in trying Around one in five | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
10-11-year-olds are obese. We know from research that excess | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
sugar is linked to weight gain and when you are obese you are more | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
at risk of conditions like type two diabetes, | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
which can lead to heart disease The food industry isn't being forced | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
to make these changes, but trade bodies say they'll take | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
on the challenge and experts in nutrition think this | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
is the quickest way It's actually an advantage | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
that they are voluntary, because the legal process of writing | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
mandatory guidelines is so awkward, so long, people resist it and try | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
and protect their own interests, that doing it on a voluntary basis | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
is actually quicker to write the regulations and quicker to amend | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
them if they don't work. The nine food groups announced today | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
account for less than half of children's total sugar intake, | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
so there's still work to be done on sugar that's less obvious, | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
in foods like pasta sauces. Health campaigners have praised | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
the plans, but they want the government to keep up | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
the pressure on food companies. A mother and her 13-year-old son | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
have died, after being stabbed at their home in Stourbridge | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
in the West Midlands. Police say a man, in his 20s - | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
who is known to the family - Our correspondent | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
Sima Kotecha is there. Just after 8am this morning | :22:57. | :23:07. | |
emergency crews turned up at the property behind me to find a family | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
who had been seriously stabbed. The mother who was in her 50s was | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
pronounced dead at the scene, the boy, a 13-year-old, was taken to a | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
hospital and died a short while later. The father is in hospital and | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
said to be in a critical condition with serious stab wounds to his | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
chest and his back. They are being named locally as Peter and Tracey | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
Wilkinson while the boy neighbours say was called peers Piers. Police | :23:34. | :23:45. | |
say they intervened in a Land Rover and a man was arrested on suspicion | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
of murder and winding. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
and Prince Harry have released a series of films | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
for their Heads Together campaign designed to encourage people to talk | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
about mental health. The charity says that opening up | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
to someone for the first time about a mental health issue is often | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
the hardest part - but new research suggests that doing | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
just that could change your life. Our health correspondent | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
Elaine Dunkley reports. I definitely did not know how to | :24:06. | :24:14. | |
share with someone the fact that I felt really, really depressed. All | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
of these films are about a conversation, saying I am not OK. | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Breaking the silence around mental health, the first step in breaking | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
the stigma. I was 24 and my dad took his own life. Professor Green has | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
topped the charts with his music but childhood trauma has meant at times | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
he has hit rock bottom. At 18 I started writing songs and I had a | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
way of getting what was inside out but I did not start talking about it | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
until later on and it was not easy at first. When you keep things to | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
yourself it's easy to feel like you are the only one suffering and | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
things are much worse than they are. The burden is lifted when you share | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
your problems with someone else. As well as the film is the Heads | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
Together campaign has also conduct is one of the largest surveys about | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
putter in mental health. For so many people there are still challenges | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
but the findings show people in Britain are opening up and talking | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
more about mental health. I have got beat CD, depression, I suffer from | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
psychosis and you feel alone. The difference between suffering in | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
silence and speaking out has saved lives. I met a group of people who | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
have taken that first step. There is nothing better than communicating so | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
someone does not feel alone because one thing about mental health is it | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
makes you feel isolated and alone. For me it is literally the | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
difference between being, feeling completely overwhelmed by pain and | :25:48. | :25:56. | |
confusion and feeling trapped by it, in so many ways. I was bullied | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
really badly at school and that has affected me throughout my life. It's | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
the police, the second you talk to someone it just feels like the world | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
is not all on your shoulders, there are people willing to listen and | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
that's a big help. I am not going to live, I have spent two and a half | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
decades basically avoiding how I have felt especially coming from a | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
background as British Asian where our community has an even bigger | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
stigma in terms of dealing with it. But I have to say I felt relief. | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
Changing the stigma around mental health isn't easy but the | :26:34. | :26:34. | |
conversation can be life changing. What a day, the warmest day in March | :26:35. | :26:49. | |
for five years? Since 2012. Lovely day for some parts of the country. | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
This taken at Kew Gardens, the south-east of the UK seeing the | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
highest temperatures today, 22 degrees in the south-east, you can | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
see the sunshine, in between we have had this zone of actor crowd and | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
rain, most of it to the Irish Sea, this was Cumbria just you the | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
contrast we have seen across the UK, more rain to come overnight, even | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
one or two showers possible into the warmth in the south-east and to the | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
to the Midlands, the wetter weather is going to be for South West | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
England, Wales, heavy rain over the hell is once again, it's turning | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
wetter, a lot of cloud, really mild, the focus of the rain is going to | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
change whilst we get one or two showers coming eastwards, most of | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
the brain moving north, away from Wales and Northern Ireland up into | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
Scotland where it will sit in the North for quite a while. Some | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
air which will not be as warm, air which will not be as warm, | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
15-17 and a small risk of shower, looks pretty good on the whole, most | :27:58. | :28:06. | |
of the showers waiting in the wings. Rain in Scotland where it will be a | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
much cooler and wetter afternoon for the North and north-east of | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
Scotland. Into the weekend a weekend of two caps, Saturday looks like | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
showers, not many for East Anglia and the South East, temperatures | :28:19. | :28:27. | |
about law. Second half of the weekend looks better, showers will | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
have gone, chilly start, sunny start, more cloud in the afternoon | :28:31. | :28:33. | |
but a fine day and warm enough in the sunshine. | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me - | :28:37. | :28:40. |
