No end to their agony - the parents of baby Charlie Gard go | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
back to court, this time fighting for him to die at home. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
The hospital where Charlie is being treated say the ventilation | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
Charlie needs to breathe is best provided there. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
But Charlie's mother says it is her last wish that her son | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
have some tranquil last few days at home. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
The judge in the case has asked Charlie's parents | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
and the hospital to try to resolve the crisis through mediation. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
A fully electric version of the mini is to be built in the UK - | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
the government calls it a landmark decision. | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
More than 80,000 jobs unfilled in NHS England. Staff say they are | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
feeling the strain. We need to ensure that our awards are safe and | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
move staff to the wards that required. Plans to ban | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
house-builders. The government calls them unjust. The wonder in the | :01:00. | :01:10. | |

Greg Rutherford says he is devastated to be out of the | :01:19. | :01:22. | |

Connie Yates back at Having abandoned the battle | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
yesterday to keep him alive, she is now fighting to be able | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
to take him home to die. Lawyers for Great Ormond Street | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Hospital where Charlie is being treated say | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
there are practical difficulties. The judge has said if Charlie can be | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
taken home within reason Our medical correspondent | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
Fergus Walsh has been The legal battle over this | :02:05. | :02:20. | |
desperately sick boy now centres on where and how soon he dies. Charlie | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
needs a mechanical ventilator to breathe. He is tube fed and cannot | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
move. His parents give up their fight to take him to the United | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
States and agreed no more treatment could help him. But Charlie's ma'am, | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
Connie, was back at court this afternoon to make it clear she did | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
not want him to die in the intensive care unit where he's been since | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
October. The parents said it was their last wish that he dies at home | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
for a few days of tranquillity outside the hospital setting. | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
Lawyers for the parents said they would pay private nurses to take | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
over his care and seek to recover the costs from the NHS. The court | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
heard there were practical issues to be resolved, for example, whether | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
his ventilator would fit through their front door. Great Ormond | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
Street Hospital said it wanted to honour the parent's wishes but the | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
care plan must be safe and spare him all pain and protect his dignity. | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
Charlie is a child who requires highly specialised treatment. His | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
care cannot be simplified. It must be provided in a specialist setting | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
by specialists. The dispute over where and how soon Charlie should | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
die typifies the breakdown in the relationship between the parents and | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
the hospital. The judge said this was a matter crying out the | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
mediation. Great Ormond is to said it offered that but the parents | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
refused. The judge said the parents were entitled to decide where they | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
spent the next few days but it should not extend into weeks, it | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
would be unacceptable as it would simply extend the grieving process. | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
This woman lost her son when he was five. He was profoundly disabled and | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
tube fed. She had searched for a cure. They've got to learn to let | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
him go at all sorts of levels. Stuff happens and they must not be better | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
because it will eat them. There's no point in that. What they've got to | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
do is look at the positive things. The hospital has offered a | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
compromise. Charlie can be transferred to a hospice where | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
doctors from great Ormond is the would supervise his palliative care | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
and death after a period of some hours. His parents said they want | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
days, not ours, and a hospice is a second-best option. This is a | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
harrowing case, most of all for Charlie's parents. How will it be | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
resolved? It will be resolved at 2pm tomorrow when the judge makes a | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
decision. He is desperate not to get involved at this stage. He wants the | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
sides to come to an agreement. Great Ormond Street Hospital said they had | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
known that they want a week at home with Charlie and they've looked up | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
and down the country for a specialist doctor prepared to | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
supervise that and have not been able to find one because his needs | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
are so complex. The compromise of a hospice might be the way forward. | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Lawyers said this was the second best option. It may be a question of | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
timing but until they know where Charlie is going to die they cannot | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
start to say goodbye to him. A fully electric version of the Mini | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
is to be built in the UK. BMW - who make the car - | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
have confirmed the model will go The firm says parts will be | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
manufactured abroad, before the car is assembled | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
at its Cowley plant near Oxford. The government has called | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
the move a "landmark decision" and a vindication | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
of the government's Our Transport correspondent | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Richard Westcott is there, is it a vindication | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
as the government claims? It is certainly good news for the | :06:29. | :06:42. | |
4000 people that work behind me. This is the birthplace of the many. | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
-- Mini. But let me give you context. It does not mean a | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
production line or significant numbers of new jobs. It means tens | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
of millions of pounds of investment. It is a significant amount but if | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
you think BMW announced they were spending ?180 billion on a plan in | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
Germany and 540 million in the US, it is a big boost for this plant but | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
in car investment terms it is not big money. They make two thirds of | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
the minis in the world. We now know the electric mini will be made here. | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
It is great for the business and we are very thrilled | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
that we will be part of this huge success, hopefully. | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
It means there is no problem with the thought of them closing it | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
down because of Brexit so it is very good news. | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
BMW, who make it, had hinted for months that the work | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
The new model will be made on the same production line as other | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
Minis so it will not mean extra investment or jobs but it is a boost | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
for the government as they try to persuade car-makers to stay | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
We are determined to make Britain the go-to place for the next | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
They've got a fantastic workforce in Oxford already and that | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
combination of planning for the future has convinced | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
The UK car industry has been pushing hard for up Brexit deal that | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
Since the vote, Nissan has promised to make models | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
Toyota is spending a quarter of ?1 billion updating | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
Experts say the real test is yet to come. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
I don't think this tells us very much about Brexit at all. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
This is an adaptation of an existing car. | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
The big questions will be when BMW produces a new Mini and companies | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
like Vauxhall produce the next generation Astra, will they produce | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
in the UK or will the uncertainty about our relationship with Europe | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
A good day for the UK car industry but the government is still under | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
enormous pressure to cut a Brexit deal that secures | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
More than 86,000 NHS posts were vacant in England | :09:04. | :09:13. | |
in the first three months of this year. | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
The latest figures show the number of vacancies climbed by almost eight | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
thousand compared with the same period last year, | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
nursing and midwifery jobs are worst affected. | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
The Royal College of Nursing says too few nurses means patient care | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
The Department of Health insists it IS investing | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes, reports. | :09:30. | :09:40. | |
Looking after people when they are at their most vulnerable, providing | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
compassionate and professional care is the main challenge and biggest | :09:49. | :09:57. | |
reward for Michelle Turner. It is a tough job that carries enormous | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
responsibilities. It is a privilege to be a nurse and devalued in the | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
job that I do. People put their lives in your hands on a daily basis | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
and it is the biggest privilege that you can have. Finding more nurses | :10:12. | :10:24. | |
seems to be a problem. Around 86,000 posts are recorded as vacant. In | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
March, 30,000 jobs were advertised, for those in more than the previous | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
year. The majority that were filled were nurses and midwives. Many | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
hospital trusts are struggling to recruit and retain staff. They are | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
needing to think about more flexible ways of using the staff they already | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
have. At the Royal Blackburn, there are still 100 nurses they need | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
before they are where they want to be. Managers have had to come up | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
with ways to deal with the pressure of staff shortages. We cope with | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
that on a daily basis, we are flexible and supportive. But we | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
maintain safety, it is our number one priority. The information for | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
England reflects similar problems across the UK. It is difficult | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
because of the time it takes to train doctors and nurses. It is | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
difficult. We've mitigated that risk in the past by getting stuff from | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
overseas. It is becoming harder with Brexit. We've got issues around | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
morale and retention. The department says staffing is a priority and more | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
money is being invested in front-line positions. When it comes | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
to assessing the level of staff shortages, it has limitations and | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
these figures highlight the ongoing problems the NHS faces with the | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
recruitment and retention of clinical staff. | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
A survey of rail passengers has found that they are more satisfied | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
with the service they receive than they were last year. | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
The industry watchdog, Transport Focus, spoke to | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
27,000 people and found that 83 per cent were happy. | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
But the organisation said the recovery in the rail | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
industry, after a series of strikes, was fragile. | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
Housebuilders could be banned from selling leaseholds on newly | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
Leaseholds are on the increase and they can lead to exorbitant | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
and unexpected costs for the homeowner. | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
The government has called the practice unjust, | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
unneccessary and says it needs to stop. | :12:44. | :12:44. | |
We all know that Britain needs more homes. | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
But the terms and conditions attached to some new-build houses | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
in England are causing a great deal of distress. | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
Traditionally, houses have nearly always been sold | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
as freehold properties, meaning the buyer owns the building | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
However, there has been a growing trend to sell houses as leasehold, | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
meaning the buyer doesn't actually own the land. | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
In some cases, the freeholds are sold on to investment companies, | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
Today's report found one owner believed they would be able to buy | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
the freehold in the future for ?2000. | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
But the final bill was 20 times that. | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
The leaseholder also asked to pay ground rent to the freeholder. | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
Traditionally, a small amount - but that figure is now rising. | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
Claire Scott bought her house in Bolton four years ago. | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
But when she recently tried to sell it, the buyers backed out | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
when they saw a clause in the contract saying the ground | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
By 2060, it will cost nearly ?10,000 a year. | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
The past 12 months have been an absolute nightmare for us. | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
We didn't realise we had an issue with the house until we came to sell | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
it and then the house sale fell through. | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
That meant that we now have to rent out the house and we can't get | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
That's causing us a lot of financial distress. | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
This development on the outskirts of Manchester is all new-build, | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
It is a way for developers to make more money. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
But some people say there's no place for leasehold | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
What we're talking about here are houses that are being sold | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
on leasehold, thousands of them, for no good reason, and then once | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
they are sold the people that have purchased them are exposed to these | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
Enough is enough and we are taking action. | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Critics say the Government has known about and ignored | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
And this consultation doesn't definitely mean things will change. | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
Pressure groups say the situation is a scandal. | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
It's not only the people who thought they were buying a home, | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
many of these people were assisted by the Help To Buy Scheme. | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
This means we have been underwriting their mortgages by 20% | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
to get first-time buyers onto the property ladder. | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
The builders have taken us all for a ride and they've got | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
House-builders say leasehold does work for some developments, | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
and they are committed to being fair. | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
But the Government now wants to ban leasehold contracts for newly | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
A High Court judge says he will decide tomorrow | :15:23. | :15:34. | |
whether terminally-ill Charlie Gard will be able to leave | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
Great Ormond Street Hospital and die at home. | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
And still to come, can money buy you happiness? | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
Scientists say they have the answer. In Sportsday BBC News, more | :15:48. | :15:56. | |
criticism for the RFU after they decide not to renew contracts for | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
the England women's 15 as they prepare to defend the World Cup | :16:02. | :16:02. | |
title. Adam Peaty has had an extraordinary | :16:03. | :16:15. | |
day at the swimming World Championships in Hungary. 22 years | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
old, he was already the owner of the fastest ten times ever in the 100 | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
metres breaststroke and today he smashed his own record not once, but | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
twice, in the 50 metres. Adam Peaty is human, | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
but there are things he does which might | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
make you doubt that. Tuesday morning, he woke up and went | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
to the pool in Budapest for a heat in the 50 | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
metres breaststroke. Just a heat, he just | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
needed to get through. Well, he hadn't really | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
meant to do that. I wanted it, but I don't know | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
if I wanted it in the heats. I'm so grateful to be | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
in front of that crowd and hopefully again, tonight, | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
we'll push it on a bit further. Already the world 100 metre | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
champion, victory has come so frequently for him that he needs | :16:59. | :17:11. | |
records to motivate him. Swimming 50 metres in | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
a pool is something a lot How quickly do you think | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
it's possible to do it? Well, Peaty was travelling | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
at a pace even the most experienced observers | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
could barely believe. This is a 50 metres | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
breaststroke, look at this. I never thought I would | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
live to see the day when a breaststroke swimmer | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
would go 25 seconds. Coming out there tonight, | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
I was a bit down, because it's been such an emotional | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
last few days. I was, like, right, | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
get yourself up for it. Mel said, yeah, I'm not | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
going to waste a day, I'm not going to waste | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
an opportunity, because I never know So, I just went out | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
there and did what I do. Well, Peaty is only 22, | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
so let's expect more opportunities, Even by Peaty's standards, | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
that's special. President Trump has again | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
attacked his own Attorney-General, accusing Jeff Sessions of failing | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
to properly investigate his Media reports and rumours | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
are swirling in Washington that the president is considering | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
sacking Mr Sessions. Our North America editor | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
Jon Sopel is in Washington. After the head of the FBI, | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
this could be another high profile sacking, | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
and of a man only recently regarded That is the key difference between | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
the sacking of the FBI director James Comey and Jeff Sessions. James | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
Comey, Donald Trump inherited from the Obama presidency. Jeff Sessions | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
was the first senator to come out and back Donald Trump in his bid to | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
become President. They were the best of friends. Jeff Sessions has given | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
Donald Trump 100% loyalty, which has been repaid in the last week by a | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
New York Times interview in which Donald Trump criticised him and said | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
he would never have appointed him if he had known he would excuse himself | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
from the Russia investigation, and tweets on consecutive days | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
describing him as weak and beleaguered. In the last hour or so, | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
we have heard from the new White House communications director that a | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
decision will be taken soon on Jeff Sessions' future. You can only | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
conclude from that that his future does not look very bright. If he | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
goes, what happens to the special counsel, Robert Muller, that has | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
been charged to investigate the Russia investigation? A huge cloud | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
hangs over that as well. So, Democrats are busy accusing the | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
President of bullying the Attorney General out of the White House, out | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
of the Justice Department, so that the President can close down the | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
Russia investigation. If that happens, that would be epic and a | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
bit of a political earthquake here in Washington. We will watch with | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
interest. Thanks very much. UK animal welfare standards could be | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
under threat after Brexit, if farmers are left to compete | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
against cheaper, less regulated rivals from outside | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
the European Union. That's according to a House of Lords | :20:06. | :20:06. | |
committee who say the Government must insist on similar standards | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
in any new trade agreements to avoid It is one of Britain's's premier | :20:10. | :20:27. | |
showcases for agriculture. 100,000 people admiring 2000 animals. It's | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
all part of an industry were animal welfare is paramount. But farmers | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
like Mike Smales I worried about what might happen after Brexit. He | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
says if we start importing food from countries with lower standards, it | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
may be cheaper but animal welfare could suffer. How cheap canned food | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
get? You had to ask that question. This downward spiral in expecting | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
food to keep getting cheaper and cheaper, I think it's a worry. The | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
Government said today that farmers shouldn't worry about animal welfare | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
after Brexit, because Britain will keep what it calls our gold standard | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
policies. Any future arrangements covering trade in animals, or | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
trading anything, for that matter, will be subject to the UK | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
Parliament. But some people say they don't just have concerns about | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
animal welfare after Brexit, campaign groups say they are also | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
worried about food safety levels in some countries. Food that could be | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
exported to Britain. Processing plants use a variety... They pointed | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
to American practices like washing poultry in chlorine to kill | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
bacteria, which they say would be unacceptable to British consumers. | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
Others say it is patronising to dismiss safety standards in | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
countries like the United States. Why would American food producers | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
produce food that kills, injures or makes ill the people that eat that | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
food? It is not a sensible business proposition. It won't just be | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
American farmers trying to get a foothold in Britain after Brexit. | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
Today's report says it will be down to consumers to decide how much they | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
want to pay for high-quality food. You only have to come to shows like | :22:19. | :22:29. | |
this in the New Forest to see that Britain really does have world-class | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
animal welfare standards. These are dairy longhorn, just one of the | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
breeds on show. Just last week, the Environment Secretary Michael Gove | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
said those animal welfare standards would be maintained after Brexit. | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
But Britain could soon be signing a series of trade deals with countries | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
outside the European Union. So, really, the issues of welfare, | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
safety and prices are paramount. Now they say money can't | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
buy you happiness. Well, scientists in Canada have put | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
the old saying to the test. They questioned 6,000 | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
people and discovered apparently that it can, | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
but only if you use the cash They found that spending money | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
on getting chores done like cleaning or cooking is more likely to make | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
you feel happy than spending it on material goods, | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
as Jon Kay's been finding out. Plenty of smiles in Plymouth this | :23:19. | :23:33. | |
afternoon. But what makes us truly happy? Psychologists have been all | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
over the world, asking thousands of people from all kinds of backgrounds | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
one simple question. If I was to give you ?30, what would you spend | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
it on? Vodka! Hotdogs, ice cream and a bottle of wine. The girlfriend. | :23:49. | :24:00. | |
Books. What would you spend it on? I will soon find something. Whether | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
she spends it on a meal out or a yacht, the study found that it is | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
not material things that make us happy happiest, but buying free | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
time. This woman couldn't agree more. She said she would sacrifice | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
pretty much any other luxury to pay for a clean every week. She does | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
extra shifts so Rachel can let the house from top to bottom. Even | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
though it is often a stretch, she says the extra time it buys her with | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
her family as with far more than any holiday or handbag. I make do with | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
what I've got and any spare money goes on Rachel. You wouldn't rather | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
have a handbag or a meal out? Absolutely not. I'm not offering to | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
buy you one! Back in the 90s, Michael won millions of pounds on | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
the lottery and could afford almost anything he wanted. Two decades | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
later, he is back selling antiques in the net and he says he is much | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
happier doing things for himself instead of paying others. Some | :25:04. | :25:05. | |
people are used to having things done for them. So they've got the | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
money, it's easier. But I have had things done for me over the last 20 | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
years, different things, gardening and whatever. But a lot of the time | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
I prefer to do it myself. I get more enjoyment. Critics say paying others | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
is all well and good, if you are comfortably off in the first place. | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
But the researchers behind the study say investing in time, rather than | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
possessions, makes us all happier, whatever our income or spending | :25:35. | :25:35. | |
habits. Let's look at the weather now. I | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
know what makes me happy, sunshine and a view like that! | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
It helps. If you like sunshine and warm weather, today was probably the | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
best day of the week. This beautiful view was taken in the highlands of | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
Scotland. Blue skies around. A bit of fair weather cloud. We had the | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
cloud breaking up quite nicely through the day across many parts of | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
the country. Yesterday was cool and cloudy in the East. For most parts | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
of the country, some cloud in southern parts of Scotland and heavy | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
showers towards the south-east of Wales and south-west England. There | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
could be the odd rumble of thunder over the next few hours. Those | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
showers fade away. For most of us it is dry to start the night, but later | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
on the band of rain words in across the Atlantic. A pretty soggy start | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
for Wednesday, for Northern Ireland as well. This rain marches eastwards | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
through the day, bringing strong wind. Damp and breezy weather moving | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
across all of the country. It tends to be quite light and patchy by the | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
time it gets to the south-east during the afternoon. The rain will | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
be followed by a return to sunshine and showers from the West. | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
Temperatures, 18 to 21 degrees. Not great for this stage in July. The | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
showers fade away and we will continue to see showery rain across | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
the far West, moving in over Thursday. Low pressure across the | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
north-west. Temperatures first thing on Thursday morning 13 or 14 | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
degrees. Through the day on Thursday, a day of sunshine and | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
showers. Most of the showers will be across the north-west of the | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
country, quite breezy here. Then further south we will see more | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
showers breaking out. It won't be a wash-out. If you like the sunshine, | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
you will get some between the showers on Thursday. Temperatures | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
between 16 and 20 degrees will stop on Friday, another day of sunny | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
spells and scattered showers. Things continue to be unsettled as we head | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
through the weekend. A reminder of our main story. A High | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
Court judge says he will decide tomorrow whether terminally ill | :27:52. | :27:53. | |
Charlie Gard will be allowed to leave hospital and die at home. | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :28:00. | :28:01. |
