0:01:50 > 0:01:55Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57The Government's ordered a fast-track investigation
0:01:57 > 0:02:00into what went wrong at the failed construction firm, Carillion.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03The company which also runs services in schools,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05hospitals and prisons went into liquidation yesterday
0:02:05 > 0:02:10after running up huge debts.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Concerns are growing for small businesses connected to the firm
0:02:13 > 0:02:19amid fears some could collapse.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20One industry body estimates that 30,000
0:02:20 > 0:02:21companies are owed money.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Now the Business Secretary has ordered a swift investigation
0:02:24 > 0:02:26into the role and conduct of the company's directors
0:02:26 > 0:02:27past and present.
0:02:27 > 0:02:35Here's our business editor Simon Jack.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Just how many workers fought Carillion and its subcontractors
0:02:39 > 0:02:46will be leaving their current jobs for good? Corinthian owes Andy
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Bradley £1 million, £1 million he doesn't expect to get paid. Outside
0:02:49 > 0:02:53his office two chairs that are now empty.It's devastating, I've known
0:02:53 > 0:02:57these people for years and years and they have been loyal, hard-working
0:02:57 > 0:03:01individuals, helped get the business to where it is today, but they were
0:03:01 > 0:03:05non-frontline, nonessential staff, marketing, that of admin, things
0:03:05 > 0:03:12like that. So we had to let them go, we had no choice.How did they take
0:03:12 > 0:03:20it?Badly, very badly. One lady, just as you arrived, she came in and
0:03:20 > 0:03:23we had to let her go and she left in tears.After the shock of yesterday
0:03:23 > 0:03:27the real impact is beginning to hit home, at companies like this grounds
0:03:27 > 0:03:31maintenance firm in Cambridgeshire, of their 90 staff they had to bet
0:03:31 > 0:03:35ten go yesterday and another one today, and there is confusion. Will
0:03:35 > 0:03:39I get paid for work I do from now on and even if I do can that possibly
0:03:39 > 0:03:43make up for the money that I am owed by Carillion from months passed? For
0:03:43 > 0:03:48many companies like this one it could be the end of the road. That
0:03:48 > 0:03:52confusion is turning to anger, particularly at former bosses like
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Richard Howson who left Carillion after the first profit warning in
0:03:55 > 0:04:03July 2017. He took home £1.5 million in 2016 and is due to receive a
0:04:03 > 0:04:07£663,000 salary until October. Keith Cochrane took over the reins in
0:04:07 > 0:04:12September on a salary of 750,000, and tough questions for the finance
0:04:12 > 0:04:16director Zafar Khan who was looking after the company's accounts when
0:04:16 > 0:04:23the crisis hit.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25the crisis hit.Well, it's gone under, 20,000 jobs are directly at
0:04:25 > 0:04:27risk, a large number of supply chain jobs are at risk, those people that
0:04:27 > 0:04:30worked so hot over Christmas on Carillion -based rail contracts are
0:04:30 > 0:04:34not sure they have been paid, and the directors have done very well
0:04:34 > 0:04:38out of Carillion and the chief executive has had a massive payoff.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43The spotlight will also fall on the company's auditors KPMG who provided
0:04:43 > 0:04:46the reports directors used to give the company a clean bill of health
0:04:46 > 0:04:50just four months before a massive profit warning. The government has
0:04:50 > 0:04:54promised an investigation into the company's collapse.It is vital that
0:04:54 > 0:04:59we look back and find out what went wrong, and I know the Business
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Secretary Greg Clark is going to make sure that no stone is left
0:05:02 > 0:05:05unturned in order to establish just where responsibility lies for the
0:05:05 > 0:05:10collapse of the company.Some jobs was stopped just as they were
0:05:10 > 0:05:15starting, J Smith was an apprentice at a Corinthian training centre.I
0:05:15 > 0:05:18feel very concerned as to what I'm now going to do because Carillion
0:05:18 > 0:05:23was a place I wanted to work full-time, it was somewhere I wanted
0:05:23 > 0:05:27to be, and then now because of all this happening I have no idea what's
0:05:27 > 0:05:31going to happen.Obviously we are looking for a positive response.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Union leaders arrived in Westminster looking for answers as well, the
0:05:34 > 0:05:38postmortem of this construction giant is just beginning. Simon Jack,
0:05:38 > 0:05:39BBC News.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41John Pienaar is at Westminster.
0:05:41 > 0:05:47So many jobs and so many companies involved, still a lot of confusion.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51How much is the Government doing to manage the collapse of this company?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Ministers are doing their best to keep tabs through their officials in
0:05:54 > 0:05:57committee on how services are carrying on as they promised they
0:05:57 > 0:06:01would. The Treasury has provided a line of credit that could run into
0:06:01 > 0:06:05many, many millions to make sure that that happens. Still they are
0:06:05 > 0:06:09feeling the pressure. Westminster feels a bit like a scalp hunt just
0:06:09 > 0:06:15now, even as the TUC were calling for a full inquiry, one committee of
0:06:15 > 0:06:17MPs were announcing an inquiry into the handling of contracts and
0:06:17 > 0:06:20another one is going to be looking at the use of public money. It is a
0:06:20 > 0:06:25safe bet that there will be a look at government procurement policy
0:06:25 > 0:06:28after this. Today I have heard of talk in Whitehall that these
0:06:28 > 0:06:31companies could have to pass new stress tests to show their
0:06:31 > 0:06:33businesses are sound before they can get these contracts. The opposition
0:06:33 > 0:06:38want more than that. Jeremy Corbyn is using this argument and jumping
0:06:38 > 0:06:44in to argue against the role of the private sector in public services.
0:06:44 > 0:06:50It could all be overtaken by events. Authoritative voices in the city are
0:06:50 > 0:06:54being Amaq saying that these big companies far from creaming off
0:06:54 > 0:06:58billions in easy profits, are living on very tight margins and no one can
0:06:58 > 0:07:02rule out another collapse. If that happens it would light a fire under
0:07:02 > 0:07:06this whole debate about the use of these private firms and the extent
0:07:06 > 0:07:11to which they are used at all.John Pienaar in Westminster, thank you.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14A couple in California have been charged with torture and child
0:07:14 > 0:07:16endangerment after their 13 children were found being held
0:07:16 > 0:07:18captive in the family home.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20The brothers and sisters, aged between two and 29,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22were dirty and emaciated.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24They'd been kept in dark rooms.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Some were chained to their beds.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Our North America Correspondent James Cook is outside their home
0:07:29 > 0:07:36in Perris in Southern California.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41In public they looked like a big happy family, devoutly Christian,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45renewing their wedding vows in Las Vegas, David and Louise Turpin
0:07:45 > 0:07:50played the part of proud parents, but in private, say police, the
0:07:50 > 0:07:57Turpins had a dark secret. At dawn on Sunday a 17-year-old girl escaped
0:07:57 > 0:08:03from this house and called for help. Inside officers said they found her
0:08:03 > 0:08:0812 brothers and sisters dirty and malnourished, shackled to their beds
0:08:08 > 0:08:10with chains and padlocks, the home dark and foul smelling. Neighbours
0:08:10 > 0:08:16now admit there were signs that something was amiss.I never saw a
0:08:16 > 0:08:22scooter, I never saw a bike, I saw the infant may be three times,
0:08:22 > 0:08:27maybe, I never saw the infant again. How did they look when you saw them?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31They were always pale, like abnormally pale.The children do
0:08:31 > 0:08:35look pale in pictures posted on Facebook. Here they are visiting
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Disneyland. Police say the siblings were so small that they were shocked
0:08:39 > 0:08:43to discover that seven were actually adults, the eldest 29. They are now
0:08:43 > 0:08:47being treated in hospital.They are all in very stable condition and
0:08:47 > 0:08:53they are all doing very well considering the magnitude of what's
0:08:53 > 0:08:57been described.This quiet Californian suburb is now under
0:08:57 > 0:09:00intense scrutiny. Neighbours here are stunned but they are also
0:09:00 > 0:09:06searching their souls asking, could we have saved these siblings sooner?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10As for the patents, David and Louise Turpin are under arrest charged with
0:09:10 > 0:09:15torture and child endangerment.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Well, a news conference has just been held at this moment, and we are
0:09:19 > 0:09:24getting a few more details about what happened. In the Word of the
0:09:24 > 0:09:26police, about the horrific conditions in the house. The family
0:09:26 > 0:09:31we are told had lived here and do Macs since 2014 and they are
0:09:31 > 0:09:34praising the bravery of the 17-year-old girl who escaped through
0:09:34 > 0:09:38a window and the Mayor of the city of Perris said in the past few
0:09:38 > 0:09:42seconds he is devastated by this act of cruelty and can't imagine the
0:09:42 > 0:09:46pain and suffering that these children have gone through. They say
0:09:46 > 0:09:51they are offering them all manner of support, including psychological
0:09:51 > 0:09:54help. But who can imagine how they could try to get over something like
0:09:54 > 0:09:56this? James Cook in Southern California,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58thank you.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00There's some good news for overstretched household budgets.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03The rate of inflation last year dropped to 3%, according
0:10:03 > 0:10:04to the latest official figures.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07It is the first fall since last June and has prompted suggestions
0:10:07 > 0:10:10that the squeeze on living standards has started to ease at last.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Our Economics correspondent Andy Verity is here.
0:10:14 > 0:10:21Does it look inflation has peaked?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24It does, especially if you place reliance on a temper percentage
0:10:24 > 0:10:28point because that's all it is for the moment, last time we got these
0:10:28 > 0:10:33figures it was 3.1% and now 3%, but now a lot of economists are
0:10:33 > 0:10:40predicting that it will carry on falling from here on, it is still a
0:10:40 > 0:10:42percentage point above where it should be and if you look at
0:10:42 > 0:10:46inflation over the last five years, five years ago it was nudging up to
0:10:46 > 0:10:503% and then we had a big fall in oil prices that you might remember which
0:10:50 > 0:10:55brought it down to zero and more recently it has risen over the last
0:10:55 > 0:10:5918 months, because of higher import prices. We had the Brexit. And
0:10:59 > 0:11:03evaluation of the pound, which means you need more pounds to buy the same
0:11:03 > 0:11:09goods in dollars or yen, or Euros, and that pushes up the cost for
0:11:09 > 0:11:11retailers, for example. They have been careful about not passing that
0:11:11 > 0:11:15on too quickly, so we have been shielded from some of the
0:11:15 > 0:11:19inflationary effect. It has also been delayed, so initially they will
0:11:19 > 0:11:29buy their
0:11:30 > 0:11:33goods in 2016 and they will last for a year two but when the stocks run
0:11:33 > 0:11:35out they have to replace them and that's why you felt the effects
0:11:35 > 0:11:39recently. The hope is that effect is diminishing now. If you look at
0:11:39 > 0:11:41what's happening to wages, they were only by 2.3% at last count, so the
0:11:41 > 0:11:43squeeze in living standards, the fact wages are not rising as fast as
0:11:43 > 0:11:46prices, that is still on, although hopefully it is loosening its grip.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Andy Verity, thank you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51A man from East London has gone on trial at the Old Bailey accused
0:11:51 > 0:11:52of planning terrorist attacks on some of the capital's
0:11:52 > 0:11:57best-known landmarks.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Prosecutors say Umar Haque, here on the left, was
0:11:59 > 0:12:01inspired by Islamic State.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02He denies the charges.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Abuthaher Mamun and Nadeem Patel - who also appeared in court -
0:12:04 > 0:12:08denied all charges against them also.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11The President of the European Council Donald Tusk says the UK
0:12:11 > 0:12:17could still remain in the EU if it changed its mind about Brexit.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Mr Tusk was speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22His view was echoed by the President of the European Commission,
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Jean-Claude Juncker.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29The supermarket chain, Iceland, says it'll scrap all plastic
0:12:29 > 0:12:33packaging from its own brand products within five years.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37The retailer said plastic would be replaced with paper and pulp trays
0:12:37 > 0:12:40along with paper bags, which can all be recycled.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42EU plans for combating waste have also been unveiled,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44with all plastic packaging having to be recyclable within
0:12:44 > 0:12:47the next 12 years.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50The four-time Olympic champion gymnast, Simone Biles says
0:12:50 > 0:12:52she was sexually abused by the American team
0:12:52 > 0:12:55doctor, Larry Nassar.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58In an emotional statement, the star of last year's Rio Games,
0:12:58 > 0:13:03said she would not let Nassar steal her "love and joy".
0:13:03 > 0:13:06He was jailed last month for 60 years for possessing images of child
0:13:06 > 0:13:08sexual abuse and appeared in court today for sentencing for sexually
0:13:08 > 0:13:09assaulting several other gymnasts.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Natalie Pirks reports.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16COMMENTATOR:The final move of her Olympic championships.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Full twisting doubleback...
0:13:18 > 0:13:21She was the poster girl of the Rio Olympics, her four
0:13:21 > 0:13:23gold medals secured her place in sporting legend.
0:13:23 > 0:13:29COMMENTATOR:How does she do it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31CO-COMMENTATOR:
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Absolutely amazing performance.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35But last night, Simone Biles, the self-pro
0:13:35 > 0:13:37claimed happy, giggly and energetic girl made international
0:13:37 > 0:13:39headlines as she admitted to feeling broken.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Olympic champion Simone Biles comes forward to say she was
0:13:41 > 0:13:46also sexually abused by former USA gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51Larry Nassar is accused of sexually abusing more than 130 women under
0:13:51 > 0:13:54the guise of medical treatment and is already serving 60 years
0:13:54 > 0:14:00in jail for possessing images of child sexual abuse.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03After pleading guilty to seven counts of criminal sexual
0:14:03 > 0:14:06conduct, he was in court again today and heard impact statements from
0:14:06 > 0:14:10some of his victims.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Perhaps you have figured it out by now, but
0:14:13 > 0:14:14little girls don't stay little forever.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17They grow into strong women that return to destroy your world.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21In a lengthy statement last night, Biles said that for a long time
0:14:21 > 0:14:24she'd asked herself if she was to blame.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28She now knows she wasn't and isn't afraid to tell her story any more.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I love this sport too much and I have never been a quitter,
0:14:31 > 0:14:35she said.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I won't let one man and the others that enabled him to steal my
0:14:39 > 0:14:41love and joy.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46Her Olympic gold medal winning team-mate Aly Raisman is another who
0:14:46 > 0:14:51said she was abused by Larry Nassar and accuses USA Gymnastics as a
0:14:51 > 0:14:55cover-up.What did they do to manipulate these girls so much that
0:14:55 > 0:15:00they are so afraid to speak up?USA Gymnastics says it is absolutely
0:15:00 > 0:15:03heartbroken, sorry and angry that any of our athletes have been harmed
0:15:03 > 0:15:07by their thick acts of Larry Nassar. Only one American woman has ever won
0:15:07 > 0:15:15gold on the vault, Simone Biles. She's used to making the spectacular
0:15:15 > 0:15:18look effortless but for Simone Biles the pain of reliving her experience
0:15:18 > 0:15:27has been incredible.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38From Manchester to Bradford, it's a journey of less than 40 miles.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41But even on the fastest trains, it takes almost an hour to get there.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Today, a plan to modernise transport links across the north of England
0:16:44 > 0:16:45over the next 30 years was unveiled.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Transport for the North claims that improving road and rail links
0:16:48 > 0:16:50could deliver a £100 billion economic boost by 2050
0:16:50 > 0:16:52and could also create an additional 850,000 jobs.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54But not all agree with the plans.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Danny Savage is at Leeds Station for us now.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59To give you an example, three trains an hour go from Leeds over to
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Manchester and the journey takes an hour. The hope is there will be six
0:17:02 > 0:17:04trains an hour and the journey taking 30 minutes. Supporters say
0:17:04 > 0:17:06the idea is revolutionary, but others say the money for it will
0:17:06 > 0:17:09just simply never be raised and the question is, are they being cynics
0:17:09 > 0:17:12or realists?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15The hills of the north - beautiful, but a physical barrier
0:17:15 > 0:17:17between the conurbations either side of the Pennines.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Travelling by car can be painful, the few routes over the top
0:17:19 > 0:17:22are often congested.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24As for the trains, they're frequent, but relatively slow
0:17:24 > 0:17:28and can be overcrowded.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Because there's always delays on the train.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34We would want the train service to be a bit more quicker
0:17:34 > 0:17:36than what it usually is.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Most of the trains between Halifax and Bradford and, well,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Halifax to Leeds are like this, like an old bus -
0:17:43 > 0:17:45draughty, hot, old.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Improving transport links across the Pennines is nothing new.
0:17:47 > 0:17:54This is the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, built more than 200 years ago,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57but instead of taking a few days by water, the hope is, for example,
0:17:57 > 0:18:02getting Leeds to Manchester by train down to about half an hour.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06After years of discussion about improving things,
0:18:06 > 0:18:12there's now a plan the northern cities agree on.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17There used to be a train tunnel between Sheffield and Manchester,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20that's long gone, but a new road tunnel, like this one in Norway,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22is proposed and could halve the current journey
0:18:22 > 0:18:23between the cities.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25A new TransPennine railway line will link Leeds
0:18:25 > 0:18:26and Manchester via Bradford.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I think we also need to make sure that we cover Hull, Sheffield,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Newcastle and Manchester of course, so all our major city regions.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34This is vitally important for the north.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36But remember, this is a 30 year plan and it's still only
0:18:36 > 0:18:39at the ideas stage.
0:18:39 > 0:18:46Former Transport Secretary, John Prescott, walked
0:18:46 > 0:18:48out of the launch in Hull today unconvinced.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49It'll have no powers.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52It can talk to the Treasury along with the strategic bodies,
0:18:52 > 0:18:53but it can't make a decision.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55It doesn't get any money.
0:18:55 > 0:19:02It's a bloody fraud.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05And it's the Government that will have to stump up the money
0:19:05 > 0:19:07for these ambitious projects to upgrade the north which,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10at the moment, feels left behind when it comes to transport.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Danny Savage, BBC News, Leeds.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17The French President, Emmanuel Macron, has promised not
0:19:17 > 0:19:25to allow migrant camps, like the Jungle at Calais,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28to spring up again, as large numbers continue to arrive in the area.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Visiting Calais today, Mr Macron said he would be asking
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Britain for much more help in dealing with the problem.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34From Calais, Lucy Williamson reports.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Once the UK was a magnet for Juma, today it was the French President.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40After months of camping around Calais, the Sudanese migrant
0:19:40 > 0:19:43has decided to apply for asylum in France.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Mr Macron's government has promised a quicker welcome
0:19:47 > 0:19:49for those it accepts, a quicker rejection
0:19:49 > 0:19:52for those it refuses.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Juma is still waiting for his answer.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00So you are our president, not in front of you, but in my heart.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05But hundreds of migrants around Calais are avoiding asylum centres
0:20:05 > 0:20:09like this in a bid to reach the UK illegally, and Mr Macron wants more
0:20:09 > 0:20:12help from Theresa May in dealing with them.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17TRANSLATION:We need to better manage the issue of isolated minors,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20reinforce police co-operation in Calais, with the departure
0:20:20 > 0:20:24and transit countries and unblock funds for the Calais region.
0:20:24 > 0:20:31I will raise these points with our British friends in 48-hours.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Despite big British investments in security, migrants continue
0:20:34 > 0:20:39to test border defences.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40This petrol station, its perimeter fence broken,
0:20:40 > 0:20:45a new favourite for those trying to board lorries bound for the UK.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48We caught this man squeezing through before being caught
0:20:48 > 0:20:53by a police patrol.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Mr Macron is due to talk to the Prime Minister on Thursday
0:20:56 > 0:21:00about how to improve the joint management of the border here.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05France would like Britain to take more migrants from Calais and to pay
0:21:05 > 0:21:11more money towards security and border checks.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Mr Macron has vowed to prevent another jungle taking root.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Police routinely demolish the small camps that cling on,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20but aid workers say that some here, including families, have reached
0:21:20 > 0:21:23the UK in the past few months.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Discomfort no match for that renewal of hope.
0:21:24 > 0:21:32Lucy Williamson, BBC News, Calais.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Nurses have been at the heart of the NHS ever since
0:21:35 > 0:21:36it was founded 70 years ago.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39But with ever growing pressure on the health service,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42there's more and more demand for their services.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Added to that, the role of nurses has changed enormously over
0:21:45 > 0:21:47the decades as they take on responsibilities previously
0:21:47 > 0:21:51reserved for doctors.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Our health correspondent, Adina Campbell, has been
0:21:52 > 0:21:56speaking to some of NHS's longest serving nurses.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02Combined they have nearly 150 years of nursing experience.
0:22:02 > 0:22:10Originally from the Philippines, these women came over to England
0:22:10 > 0:22:13in the 1970s, during a time when the NHS was faced
0:22:13 > 0:22:15with shortages and in desperate need of support from overseas.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20That's our badge from the hospital, St Martin, it's the green one.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23They've come to this exhibition, at the Royal College
0:22:23 > 0:22:25of Nursing in London, to reminisce and reunite.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Just very, very nostalgic.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Out of 20 of us, there were only three British nurses that
0:22:33 > 0:22:37were in training and the rest were all foreign.
0:22:37 > 0:22:43Mostly from Malaysia, India, Jamaica.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48When we first started, we just started for about a month
0:22:48 > 0:22:51in the school and then straightaway we were exposed to the wards,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53and that's what our training was based on.
0:22:53 > 0:23:02Really, bed side nursing.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07ARCHIVE:A new National Health Service starts providing hospital
0:23:07 > 0:23:10and specialist services...
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Nurses were a crucial part of the NHS from its inception,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16but their role was often undervalued and recognition came slowly.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21ARCHIVE:And this job needs doing just as much as this.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Anyone that's interacted with a nurse will know that
0:23:26 > 0:23:29it's not a stereotype, we're not in the Carry On films,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32this is real-life.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34And actually, most of the time, whatever healthcare you're
0:23:34 > 0:23:36receiving, you will spend your time with a nurse.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I don't think in 1948 we even took blood pressures.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41You know, now we're giving chemotherapy,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43we're giving life saving drugs, we're monitoring conditions
0:23:43 > 0:23:48and actually we are the glue.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52That's why 86% of the population trust nurses.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55These are two of the faces of modern nursing, as it filters
0:23:55 > 0:23:58through the generations.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Ghisline Stephenson has enjoyed a 35 year career working
0:24:02 > 0:24:02in hospitals across London, while her daughter Grace
0:24:02 > 0:24:09is at the beginning of hers.
0:24:09 > 0:24:16I think 30 years ago, the nurses were handmaidens to the doctors,
0:24:16 > 0:24:21following their instructions.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Whereas nowadays, we're breeding
0:24:22 > 0:24:25nurses now that are making those decisions for patients and that,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27to me, is the absolute, the difference, the nurses
0:24:27 > 0:24:28making those decisions.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30A well-respected member of a multi-disciplinary team.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32And nurses are under so much pressure these days in hospitals,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35staffing levels, pay, that hasn't put you off at all?
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Definitely not.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38There's always going to be sick children and families that
0:24:38 > 0:24:41need our help and no other job has job satisfaction like that.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45If there was one small bit of advice that you'd give to Grace
0:24:45 > 0:24:48about her starting her career, that may stay with her
0:24:48 > 0:24:50the whole way through, what would it be, do you think?
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Never stop caring.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Adina Campbell, BBC News.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58For 40 years, it's been a workhorse of the British Army
0:24:58 > 0:25:05used in the Falklands, Northern Ireland, both
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Gulf Wars and Afghanistan.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08But today, the Lynx helicopter made its final flight before it
0:25:08 > 0:25:09bowed out of service.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Duncan Kennedy was on board.
0:25:12 > 0:25:21The last flight from the last of Britain's Lynx. The starting point
0:25:21 > 0:25:27for today's farewell tour.That's us departing for the final flight for
0:25:27 > 0:25:34the Lynx.This was a 500 mile goodbye circuit of all the bases
0:25:34 > 0:25:39connected to this iconic aircraft. A thank you to those who've flown it,
0:25:39 > 0:25:45fixed it or fascinated by. ItI love the old girl. She is very quirky.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50She's very manoeuvrable and she's done us proud, I think.The airborne
0:25:50 > 0:25:56lap of honour took the four Lyxx helicopters to Somerset, the place
0:25:56 > 0:26:00where it was built. A last wave from the crew and from the people who
0:26:00 > 0:26:12made her. It was then on to Bristol, lemster and Shorebury where Lnyx
0:26:12 > 0:26:16crews did their basic training. Some people put our out banners to say
0:26:16 > 0:26:21there farewell.We are saying goodbye after 40 years of which I'm
0:26:21 > 0:26:26certain across the whole of the UK from those who have flown it it will
0:26:26 > 0:26:30carve out a special part of their heart and they will be sad to see it
0:26:30 > 0:26:35go.It first saw major action in the Falklands War and serving in the
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Gulf and Afghanistan. It's flexibility at the heart of its
0:26:40 > 0:26:47durability. In fact it was so successful Britain has sold more
0:26:47 > 0:26:54than 450 aircraft all around the world. But now, 40 years on, it's
0:26:54 > 0:27:02simply too old and today is its last day of service. Its final
0:27:02 > 0:27:08performance was a formation down the Thames in a last salute to this
0:27:08 > 0:27:13agile, fast distinctive machine. 40 years after it first fl.The final
0:27:13 > 0:27:19flight on board the Lymx...It's goodbye from the Lynx. Duncan
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Kennedy, BBC News.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Time for a look at the weather.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Here's Susan Powell.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Here's Susan Powell.
0:27:26 > 0:27:32Stormy weather on the way. Snow and ice are our biggest concern for
0:27:32 > 0:27:33southern Scotland and Northern Ireland tonight and tomorrow
0:27:33 > 0:27:39morning. There have been snow showers here which will invigorate
0:27:39 > 0:27:46further overnight. Showers will be wintry elsewhere also. There could
0:27:46 > 0:27:51be a dusting further south by the end of the night. A cold night with
0:27:51 > 0:27:54widespread frost and ice anywhere first thing on Wednesday. That focus
0:27:54 > 0:27:57being on Scotland and Northern Ireland for the worst of the
0:27:57 > 0:28:02weather. We have seen so much snow already. We have strong winds and
0:28:02 > 0:28:07that will mean the snowdrifts and we will have blizzard conditions as the
0:28:07 > 0:28:10showers continue for the rush-hour. Further south the showers will be
0:28:10 > 0:28:14scattered, they could be wintry. A mixture of sleet and hail for the
0:28:14 > 0:28:19south-west of England. High spring tides and strong winds could mean
0:28:19 > 0:28:23coastal flooding. A lot of challenges. Strong winds, again
0:28:23 > 0:28:28lighter come the afternoon. More showers to the north, again of snow.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Further south some sunshine. Temperatures on the face of it not
0:28:31 > 0:28:39too bad, six or seven, add the wind it will feel colder. Sub deer zero
0:28:39 > 0:28:42across the northern half of the British Isles. This low looks like
0:28:42 > 0:28:50it will be a nasty one. It rolls across Wednesday night into Thursday
0:28:50 > 0:28:54and strong damage, damaging winds touching gale force, heavy rain and
0:28:54 > 0:28:58snow. Thursday could be a challenge if you have far to go. Stay tuned.
0:28:58 > 0:29:17Thank you.
