:05:12. > :05:32.Kurt was probably the best man I have ever met. He was sweet and
:05:33. > :05:38.kind. And I am extremely proud of him and very happy that the world
:05:39. > :05:48.now knows what a wonderful man he was. He would probably hate all the
:05:49. > :05:52.publicity that is going on, he is a very private kind of person. Very
:05:53. > :06:00.generous, very sweet. The love of my life. What can you remember about
:06:01. > :06:07.that day. We were just having another wonderful day in our
:06:08. > :06:12.vacation. Just enjoying the sights, taking pictures, making our way to
:06:13. > :06:17.the abbey. I do not remember much after that. Crossing the bridge and
:06:18. > :06:24.we were almost there. You have no recollection of the car and the
:06:25. > :06:29.attack itself? I don't. There is a photograph that has been printed, I
:06:30. > :06:34.imagine you're aware of it, you're on the ground being helped by a
:06:35. > :06:39.passer-by. I do recall all of that. And the panic, you know, of not
:06:40. > :06:49.being able to see my husband anywhere. Already know what was kind
:06:50. > :06:55.of going on. It was quite scary. And when did you find out that Kurt had
:06:56. > :07:00.been killed? It was after my surgery on my leg, I had come out of
:07:01. > :07:04.recovery and they placed me in a hospital room. My parents had come
:07:05. > :07:08.to visit. And they were there waiting for me when I came out. I
:07:09. > :07:15.asked them to find out what had happened to my husband. My parents
:07:16. > :07:22.walked out of the room and came back in and they both took my hand and
:07:23. > :07:29.said he did not make it. Which, you know, crushed me. Very strikingly
:07:30. > :07:34.the press conference were so many members of your family came and
:07:35. > :07:42.stood in solidarity with you. And also said that your husband would
:07:43. > :07:47.not have felt ill will towards his attacker. I think that would
:07:48. > :07:52.surprise a lot of people. I could not heal my injuries or as a person
:07:53. > :07:55.if I had hatred in my heart. And Kurt would not want that either. So
:07:56. > :07:58.there is no hate. Melissa Cochrane , whose husband

:16:36. > :16:42.benefits cap has turned her life upside down. This is where I put a
:16:43. > :16:48.few toiletries in. Her benefits were cut by ?44 a week last November, she
:16:49. > :16:51.was evicted and made homeless. Sarah has seven kids, four were living
:16:52. > :16:57.with her, but now they have gone. I've got no choice to basically
:16:58. > :17:03.leave them where they are the time being. It absolutely kills me

:17:20. > :17:30.taken from their housing benefit which has been cut to just 50p a
:17:31. > :17:37.week. It is only 50p per week, ?2 a month, but it is costing more to
:17:38. > :17:41.send out the letter. ?20,000 a year does sound a lot but it isn't a lot
:17:42. > :17:47.really. By the time you have paid your gas and electricity and rent,

:17:54. > :17:59.soon goes -- close for the kids. The government says these families are
:18:00. > :18:02.still getting ?20,000 year another benefits and that is as much as
:18:03. > :18:11.other families who are working on. The benefit cap is trying to change
:18:12. > :18:14.the gap and fundamentally what we have tried to do is to incentivise
:18:15. > :18:21.work because we know the outcomes for children will be better if they
:18:22. > :18:28.are in families who are working. Neither Kim or Steve have been in
:18:29. > :18:32.work for nearly nine years because of injury and ill-health if they
:18:33. > :18:40.could find work between them, their benefit cap would be lifted. Steve
:18:41. > :18:43.says he would like to find a job. I would like to stand on my own two
:18:44. > :18:49.feet rather than the light on benefits. I don't want to rely on
:18:50. > :18:53.benefits. Sarah is no longer on her sister's sofa and she has been given
:18:54. > :18:56.a house but she is not looking for work because her life is still
:18:57. > :19:02.chaotic. And without benefits she can't bring her children home. It's
:19:03. > :19:09.all the fault of this stupid benefit cap and if it wasn't for that I
:19:10. > :19:15.would not be living like this and my money would not have been stopped my

:21:23. > :21:25.Clearly innate violence finds a lodging place in aspects of Islam.
:21:26. > :21:28.And that is a real challenge for us to face together.
:21:29. > :21:32.This may have been more symbolic than substantive,
:21:33. > :21:35.but in meeting with the Pope, these imams have signalled

:25:32. > :25:37.horizon, Skelton and his famous horse Big Star will be taking things
:25:38. > :25:40.a bit easier. I think any sportsman will be telling you that you think
:25:41. > :25:45.it will be going on for ever and you never want to stop, but you have two
:25:46. > :25:49.at some point. No better time to stop them when you are at the top.
:25:50. > :25:52.He has spent four decades at the top of his sport and the still holds the
:25:53. > :25:58.British record for jumping the highest pence, clearing over seven
:25:59. > :26:03.feet seven in 1978. Ten years later he competed in the first of seven

:26:09. > :26:11.gold in London, an achievement all the more remarkable because 12 years
:26:12. > :26:16.earlier he had suffered a broken neck. Back then he thought his
:26:17. > :26:22.career was over. I didn't ride for a couple of years. I got back going
:26:23. > :26:25.again, because I had a great horse at the time that I really looked
:26:26. > :26:28.forward to and I thought he was going to be really good and he was.
:26:29. > :26:33.And then I thought when I finished with him that would be yet, but then
:26:34. > :26:37.Big Star came along and I had to do it all over again. It is a story
:26:38. > :26:41.which has captured the attention and largely finished third in the sports

:26:47. > :26:52.factor, some guy doing what I did, ending up winning gold, they think
:26:53. > :26:56.it is inspirational for the elder folks. Nick Skelton has always said
:26:57. > :27:03.it is as much about the horse as him, and in Big Star he found one
:27:04. > :27:05.worthy of his name and together they bow out on top.
:27:06. > :27:18.It could be a beach day for some people on Sunday, watch this space.
:27:19. > :27:23.This was from Troon, and watch the next few days, we are going to have
:27:24. > :27:27.quite a bit of cloud on the scene. You can see the extent of the cloud
:27:28. > :27:30.we have had, but we end the day with some sunshine in southern and
:27:31. > :27:36.eastern areas where the cloud is a bit thinner. The tendency is to
:27:37. > :27:41.increase the amounts of cloud and you can't totally rely on it. They
:27:42. > :27:45.will be some breaks especially for eastern England and northern
:27:46. > :27:49.England, but if you keep the cloud you will have around 7 degrees. High
:27:50. > :27:54.pressure and are saying and that means for most areas it will be
:27:55. > :27:59.quite liked in terms of the winds and also plenty of cloud -- quite
:28:00. > :28:02.like. The westerly winds will mean we have more clout in western
:28:03. > :28:08.Scotland, but eastern Scotland with a better chance of sunshine. A fair
:28:09. > :28:13.but of cloud on on Thursday from Northern Ireland as there will be
:28:14. > :28:18.four England and Wales. There will be a lot of cloud, but it should be
:28:19. > :28:22.quite thin. There will be some sunshine and that will boost the
:28:23. > :28:29.temperatures to around 14. As we head into Friday, deja vu, the best
:28:30. > :28:32.chance of sunshine eastern Scotland and North East England, otherwise
:28:33. > :28:36.dry but fairly cloudy. That is because of the position of the high,
:28:37. > :28:42.but as we head into the weekend the high pressure is drawn into Central
:28:43. > :28:48.Europe. We are going to draw up more of the southerly winds, and as we
:28:49. > :28:53.get more sunshine on Sunday, especially over England and Wales,
:28:54. > :29:01.temperatures will be soaring. So this is it, maybe more cloud, not as
:29:02. > :29:02.warm here, but 23 is likely in the south of the country in the
:29:03. > :29:04.sunshine.
