After years of a pay cap or pay
freeze, the Government gives pay | 0:00:00 | 0:00:03 | |
rises to over a million NHS staff. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
Over the next three years, wages
will increase between 6.5% and 29%. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
It's nice for us to be recognised
for all that hard work. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
But obviously, it doesn't detract
away from the last few | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
years, where we actually
haven't had anything. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
Now it's up to staff
to agree to the deal. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
We'll be looking at the detail
of what's on offer. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
Also tonight... | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
This summer's World Cup -
the Foreign Secretary compares | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Russia's staging of it to Hitler
hosting the Olympics. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
The academic at the centre
of the row over harvesting personal | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Facebook data tells the BBC he's
been made a scapegoat. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:42 | |
The new scanner that,
for the first time, can track | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
within the brain a person's
movements as they happen. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
And coming up on BBC News: | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
Scotland scuppered by the rain. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
They failed to qualify for next
year's Cricket World Cup - | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
after they were beaten
by the West Indies and the weather. | 0:00:55 | 0:01:02 | |
Good evening and welcome
to the BBC News at Six. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
More than a million NHS workers
can expect pay rises, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
if they agree to a deal struck
between most unions and ministers. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
It follows a pay cap imposed
for the last five years | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
and a pay freeze before that. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
The deal will see wages increase
between 6.5% and 29% over | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
the next three years -
with the exception of doctors, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
dentists and senior leaders. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
The biggest rises will go to those
on the lowest end of the scale - | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
cleaners, porters and catering staff
- who will see an immediate | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
£2,000 added to their pay
packets this year. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
The salary increases
are expected to cost around | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
£4 billion, but won't come out
of the NHS budget. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
They will come from
the Treasury instead. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Our political editor,
Laura Kuenssberg, reports. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:05 | |
Porters. Paramedics. Nurses who care
for millions of patients. The staff | 0:02:05 | 0:02:15 | |
who keep the NHS going finally to
have a bigger pay rise. It is nice | 0:02:15 | 0:02:21 | |
for us to be recognised for all that
hard work. But obviously, it doesn't | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
detract away from the last few years
where we actually haven't had | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
anything. Most of us live on eight
strict budget. The future will look | 0:02:29 | 0:02:35 | |
better and brighter. I have two
young children and having this pay | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
rise will help with childcare and
things like that, I will be able to | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
do more things. For five years,
there have been calls to do just | 0:02:43 | 0:02:49 | |
that. Aside from automatic rises,
the limit on public sector pay | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
increases of 1% meant wages fell
behind. And the election left the | 0:02:53 | 0:03:01 | |
Tories in no doubt about the
rotation. So... Today's agreement on | 0:03:01 | 0:03:08 | |
a new pay deal reflects public
appreciation but just how much they | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
have done and continue to do. Rarely
has a pay raise been so | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
well-deserved for NHS staff who have
never worked harder. When a | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
nosebleed it with the Prime Minister
for a pay rise on national | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
television, she was told there was
no magic monetary -- when a nurse | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
pleaded with. So can he tell us how
this pay rise will be paid for? Has | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
the Prime Minister's horticultural
skills grown said monetary? Rises | 0:03:35 | 0:03:41 | |
will come from the Treasury to start
with, not existing health budgets, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
so the big unions are on board. It
has not solved the problem is, it is | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
a start and we would expect to be
the start menu process that | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
recognises the hard work of our
nurses and people who work in our | 0:03:53 | 0:03:59 | |
health service, that recognises the
value and that we value those people | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
for what we do. Staff still have to
approve the deal and with inflation, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
it might not make the difference. I
think the devil is in the detail and | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
other members that might yesterday
were going through the details and | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
could not see how this was going to
claw back years of pay cuts. Perhaps | 0:04:15 | 0:04:21 | |
for NHS staff in England, these
rises cannot come fast enough. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
Remember, limits on pay have been in
place for years. Part of the | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
Conservatives efforts to balance the
nation's box. But public money will | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
still be tight. This is an easing of
the squeeze, not the end. Scotland | 0:04:36 | 0:04:43 | |
and Wales are likely to follow the
Westminster move. And it adds volume | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
to calls for rises in other parts of
the public sector. Money around here | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
is still tight, but the cap no
longer fits. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:57 | |
The Foreign Secretary has compared
Russia's staging of the World Cup | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
this summer to Hitler hosting
the Olympics in Nazi Germany. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:07 | |
Boris Johnson also says
that he is "deeply concerned" | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
about how British fans may be
treated at the World Cup. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
Our diplomatic correspondent,
James Landale, reports. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
In Salisbury, the investigation into
the nerve agent attack on Sergei | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
Skripal and his daughter continued
as the diplomatic row between | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
Britain and Russia threatens to
damage sporting relations as well. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
This summer, England's football team
will travel to Russia for the World | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
Cup companies by thousands of
British bands and the Government is | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
worried about their safety. We're
watching it very, very closely. At | 0:05:33 | 0:05:38 | |
the moment, we are not inclined
actively to dissuade people from | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
going because we want to hear from
the Russians what steps they are | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
going to take to look after our
fans. So far, he said, only 24,000 | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
British bands had applied for
tickets, far fewer than normal. The | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
numbers are well down, but that does
not mean we are not deeply concerned | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
about how they may be treated. The
great day dawns with the arrival of | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
the Olympic flame at the end of its
2,000 mile journey from Greece. One | 0:06:04 | 0:06:10 | |
said Vladimir Putin would use the
World Cup in the same way Hitler | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
used the Berlin Olympics, to gloss
over what the MP called a brutal and | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
corrupt regime. The Foreign
Secretary did not disagree. I think | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
the comparison with the 1936 is
certainly right. And I | 0:06:23 | 0:06:34 | |
certainly right. And I think it is a
prospect to think of Putin glorying | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
in the sporting event. In Moscow,
senior officials summoned foreign | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
diplomats for an extraordinary
briefing to suggest that Britain | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
itself had orchestrated the attack
in Salisbury. The British | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
authorities are either unable to
ensure protection from such a | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
terrorist act on their territory or
they themselves directly or | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
indirectly are not accusing anyone,
have directed this attack against a | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
Russian citizen. My name is Emma
Nottingham and I am from the British | 0:07:04 | 0:07:09 | |
Embassy. You cannot see her, but the
British diplomat gave as good as she | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
got. Sergei Skripal and his
daughter, Yulia, or poisoned with a | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
military grade Novichok nerve agent
of a type developed by Russia in | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
what we see as an attempted
assassination attempt. The UK | 0:07:23 | 0:07:28 | |
concluded it was highly likely that
Russia was responsible. It is now | 0:07:28 | 0:07:34 | |
clear the nerve agent used in
Salisbury is poisoning Britain's | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
relations with Russia as well. With
no letup in the war of words. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:42 | |
An academic who created an app
which harvested data from 50 million | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Facebook users says he has been
made "a scapegoat". | 0:07:44 | 0:07:52 | |
Dr Aleksandr Kogan has told the BBC
he didn't know his work for the data | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
company Cambridge Analytica in 2014
violated Facebook's policies. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
Cambridge Analytica is accused
of gathering data from millions | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
of people without their knowledge. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Here's our business
editor, Simon Jack. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
The pressure on Mark Zuckerberg is
growing to give his version of how | 0:08:09 | 0:08:14 | |
the personal data of 50 million
Facebook users ended up with a | 0:08:14 | 0:08:20 | |
consultancy that worked on the
successful election campaign of | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
Donald Trump and was secretly filmed
boasting of their influence. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:31 | |
The Cambridge academic who came up
with the original app says he is | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
stunned by the controversy. Never in
our wildest dreams did we think | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
anything we did would be used in the
Donald Trump campaign. This is 2014. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:51 | |
Well before anybody would think Mr
Trump would be a serious candidate. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
So at the time, I didn't know who
their clients were going to be and I | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
did not know the specific case. I
did know it was going to be used for | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
political purposes but beyond that,
yes, it was well above my pay grade. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
I should have asked! Although he did
sign an undertaking that is | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
migratory was from research only and
would never be used for commercial | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
purposes. The implication and
aligning the story is democracy has | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
somehow been undermined and that
drew a political response today. The | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
allegations are clearly very
concerning and it is absolutely | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
right that they should be
investigated, it is right that the | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
Information Commissioner is doing
exactly that, because people need to | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
have confidence in how their
personal data is being used. So how | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
much are we, as consumers, to blame
for surrendering the facts of our | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
lives? The conservation we should be
having is, what happens to our data, | 0:09:42 | 0:09:47 | |
how much are we comfortable to
share, who with, and what we think | 0:09:47 | 0:09:52 | |
about how that is done? So this
feels to me like a real light bulb | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
moment where people are
understanding that it is not just | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
clicking like on Facebook, you are
giving data away. So far, this | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
scandal has cost Facebook, whose
London headquarters there, $50 | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
billion in market value and untold
reputational damage. The Chief | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
Executive Mark Zuckerberg has been
silent and he will speak tonight in | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
college for new, but how much
responsibility could he and should | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
he take for the misuse of his own
customers data? Cambridge Analytica | 0:10:19 | 0:10:24 | |
have always denied they used the
harvested data in the Trump campaign | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
and deny any wrongdoing. Mark
Zuckerberg will need a better | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
statement than that. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
We can talk to our economics editor,
Kamal Ahmed, in Brussels. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
But first, let's go to our media
editor, Amol Rajan, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
who's in San Francisco,
where Facebook has its headquarters. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:44 | |
Mark Zuckerberg, founder of
Facebook, he's going to break his | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
silence about the scandal, what is
he likely to say? It is about time | 0:10:47 | 0:10:54 | |
too because the silence from
Zuckerberg and chief operating | 0:10:54 | 0:11:00 | |
officer Sheryl Sandberg has been
deafening. We do not know for | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
certain he will speak today and
there is still doubt about that, we | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
don't know when and how he will
speak. He has put long posts on his | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
Facebook page in the past, it could
be that or video post. If as we | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
expect he does speak today, he will
have three key messages. The first, | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
it will be his account of what
happened. There are people at the | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
company who feel they are getting
the blame for the misdeeds of | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
individuals and companies who may
have misled them. Interesting to | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
hear what Zuckerberg has to say
about that. He is also going to | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
acknowledge public concern around
the world about data, companies | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
growing very powerful by holding
large amounts of data and he will | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
talk about that directly and try and
reassure Facebook's huge global | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
unity of 2 billion users that he
takes his responsibilities towards | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
them very seriously. But he has
multiple audiences, the staff here | 0:11:49 | 0:11:54 | |
who look to him as a deity who want
reassurance. The lawmakers and | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
regulators in Washington and Europe
who have their claws out and want a | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
piece of Facebook. And the members
of the public around the world who | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
are increasingly concerned. I
suspect it would be easier for him | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
to persuade staff than it is for him
to persuade the public that he takes | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
their concerns over data seriously. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
And, Kamal in Brussels,
the other issue that has dogged | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
the big social media companies
is the amount of tax | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
they pay - or do not pay. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
And the EU tightening
the rules on that today. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
Absolutely. I think digital
companies like Facebook, like | 0:12:23 | 0:12:30 | |
Google, have had two controversies.
One on data and the other on tax. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:35 | |
Today, the European Commission said
it wanted to completely terror | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
attacks rules it came up with a
really stock figure. Traditional | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
businesses operating across Europe
pay and effective tax rate of 23%, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:48 | |
companies like Google and Facebook,
their active tax rate is 9.5%. It | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
has been a controversy for many
years, the European Commission's | 0:12:53 | 0:12:58 | |
proposals today say they want to
start taxing the activity based on | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
advertising revenues, the number of
users these companies have across | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
Europe. The companies themselves say
they paid the majority of their tax | 0:13:05 | 0:13:10 | |
in America, where they invented the
products we all use so eagerly. Will | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
it happen? Aim to beat the
Commissioner who put forward the | 0:13:14 | 0:13:19 | |
proposals and he said he wanted
agreement across the EU 28 by the | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
end of the year. Will the UK be
involved? The Treasury has said it | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 | |
wants, its preferred option is a
revenue tax. This could be as | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
significant a moment on tax as the
organ is on data for Facebook | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
themselves. From Brussels and San
Francisco, thank you. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:41 | |
With six people stabbed to death
this past week in London, | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
a senior police officer has told BBC
News the big rise in knife crime | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
isn't causing the outrage it should. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
He fears it's because many victims
are from the black community that | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
not enough is being done. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:54 | |
Our special correspondent,
Lucy Manning, has been speaking | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
to the family of one victim. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:01 | |
Seven days, six murders,
all by knives. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
Police in East London
investigate another last night. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
Knives now being used too
often, killing too many. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
Just a few miles away,
this bedroom was full of life, | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
but that life is gone. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
They are parents who lost
their son last month. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
Now it's empty. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:27 | |
Nothing is here. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
He died for nothing. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
When I come into this room,
Hasan's smell comes in my nose. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
Everywhere, it has that smell. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
Hasan's mother, Amina,
can now only stroke his picture. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
Everyone is lost too much, Hasan. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
A lot of people loved him. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:51 | |
He was handsome. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:52 | |
He was very honest. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
And he was 19 years old. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:55 | |
He had a plan for the future. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Hasan was a student,
studying Criminology, | 0:14:58 | 0:14:59 | |
when he was stabbed. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
It's two minutes that
changed Hasan's life, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
my life, my family's life. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
Police! | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
Police! | 0:15:10 | 0:15:11 | |
Stay where you are! | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
Police! | 0:15:12 | 0:15:13 | |
Police! | 0:15:13 | 0:15:13 | |
Police! | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
5am., West London, police
burst through the doors. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
Officers are stepping up trying
to stop knives being used, | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
but admit they haven't been able
to stop knife crime rising. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
Knuckle-dusters and drugs
are removed from the house | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
and a sword is recovered. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:37 | |
There has been a significant
increase of knife crime and that's | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
what we are tackling and have been
tackling over the last year or so. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
So it's gone up, and I think we
should all be concerned about that. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
26 people murdered by knives
in London so far this year, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
including six teenagers,
prompting this frank admission. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
I do fear sometimes that
because the majority of those that | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
are injured or killed are coming
from certain communities - | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
and very often, the black
communities in London - | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
it doesn't get the sense
of collective outrage that it ought | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
to do and really get everyone
to a place where we all are doing | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
everything we can to prevent
this from happening. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
The BBC's obtained the latest
provisional NHS figures for England, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
showing more than 4,000 stabbing
victims treated in the ten months | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
until the end of January this year. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
That's 520 more people and a 14%
increase on the same | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
period the year before. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
London hospitals like Barts,
Imperial and King's College | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
treated the most. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
213 were treated in Birmingham, 181
in Manchester and 133 in Liverpool. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:44 | |
What would you like to see
the police and the Government doing | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
to stop so much knife crime? | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
They're not doing good enough. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:51 | |
This is a serious problem, honestly. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
There's a lot of people that
are dying that's 17 years old, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
18 years old, 20 years old. | 0:16:58 | 0:16:59 | |
They're dying for nothing. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
After the stabbings,
the flowers, but they don't | 0:17:01 | 0:17:06 | |
last, and everyone -
but the families - move on. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
I don't want anyone
else hurt any more. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
I don't want... | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
any mothers and fathers
crying any more. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
Lucy Manning, BBC News. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
Our top story this evening... | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
After years of having their pay
capped, millions of NHS staff | 0:17:25 | 0:17:32 | |
in England are set for a pay rise
of at least 6.5%. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
And still to come, could you live
without plastic, as the concern | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
grows of the trip to the
environment, a family ties to break | 0:17:40 | 0:17:48 | |
the habit. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:49 | |
Coming up on Sportsday on BBC News,
Manchester City Women | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
resume their hunt for the one major
trophy they've never won. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
The opening leg of their
Champions League quarterfinal | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
is tonight, against Linkoping. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:57 | |
Scientists in Nottingham have
invented a new type of brain scanner | 0:18:01 | 0:18:06 | |
which for the first time allows
patients to move | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
while being scanned. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
It shows exactly which part
of the brain are responsible | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
for movements as they take place. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:14 | |
The researchers believe it has
the potential to revolutionise | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
the field of brain imaging
of children and patients | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
with movement disorders. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
Fergus Walsh reports. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:26 | |
Conventional brain
scanners are big, bulky... | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
OK, if you could keep still. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
...And to get a good image,
patients mustn't move in them. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:37 | |
This device, which looks like a prop
from a budget sci-fi movie | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
or Phantom of the Opera,
is in fact the latest | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
thing in brain scanning. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
Because you can do this
whilst wearing it - | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
play bat and ball, or even drink
a cup of tea. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:56 | |
The scanner records the magnetic
field produced by brain activity, | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
and can show precisely
where in the brain these movements | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
are being controlled. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
So, nobody's ever been able
to do this before... | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
The area of the brain shown in blue
is where wrist and arm movements | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
are controlled whilst playing
bat and ball. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
I think in terms of mapping brain
activity, brain function, | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
this represents a step change. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
Neuroscientists will be able
to envisage a whole new world | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
of experiments where we try and work
out what the brain's doing, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
but whilst a person is behaving
naturally, is moving around. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
This is the conventional
image scanner... | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
Recording magnetic fields
from the brain is usually done | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
with huge scanners called MEG. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:44 | |
You have to keep perfectly still. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
The wearable MEG will be especially
helpful in scanning children. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:54 | |
So, children with epilepsy,
this technology is going to be | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
tremendously beneficial. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
And the reason is that doctors can
now scan these children | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
as they're moving around,
and that's never been done before. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
And it will make it easier to scan
people with movement | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
disorders like Parkinson's. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
It was here at Nottingham University
in the early 70s that MRI | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
was first developed. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:18 | |
Now, this wearable MEG system has
the potential to open a whole | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
new field of brain scanning. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:28 | |
The research, in the journal Nature,
should lead to new discoveries | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
about the brain, and there
is so much still to learn. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
Fergus Walsh, BBC News, Nottingham. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
The TV presenter Ant McPartlin
has been charged with | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
drink-driving and will appear
at Wimbledon Magistrates' | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
Court next month. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
He was arrested after an accident
involving three vehicles | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
in London on Sunday. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
Leila Nathoo joins me in now. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:52 | |
What more can you tell us? As you
say, it comes after eight collision | 0:20:52 | 0:20:58 | |
on Sunday. Ant McPartlin was driving
his Mini and there was a collision | 0:20:58 | 0:21:05 | |
with two other cars. He was arrested
after failing a roadside | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
breathalyser, he has been
interviewed by police and charged | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
with drink-driving. If he is found
guilty, he could face six months in | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
prison, a driving ban and a fine. We
know he is taking time out from his | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
TV commitments. His long-time
co-presenter and friend Dec, say the | 0:21:20 | 0:21:25 | |
two remaining episodes of Saturday
Night Takeaway will go ahead without | 0:21:25 | 0:21:32 | |
him. What the future holds will
clearly depend on what happened in | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
court. Ant McPartlin is due to
appear at Wimbledon magistrates | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
after Easter. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
Tributes have been paid
to the Red Arrows engineer who died | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
in a crash on Anglesey on Tuesday. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
Corporal Jonathan Bayliss's
colleagues described him | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
as a "generous, kind and caring man
who could always be relied upon". | 0:21:47 | 0:21:53 | |
The pilot of the aircraft,
flight lieutenant | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
David Stark was injured
in the accident. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury says
three weeks of revelations of child | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
abuse by clergy have made him
ashamed of the Church of England. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
Justin Welby has been giving
evidence at the independent inquiry | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
into child sexual abuse. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
Here's our religion
editor Martin Bashir. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
Nestled along the south
coast, Chichester is one | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
of the Church of England's
most picturesque diocese. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
It's also been the setting
for a multitude of child abusers, | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
and there have been dozens
of convictions, including | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
Canon Gordon Rideout,
Father Robert Coles, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:28 | |
the Reverend Jonathan Graves,
Bishop Peter Ball. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:36 | |
Nursing a heavy cold,
the Archbishop of Canterbury arrived | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
to give evidence after almost three
weeks focused on the Church | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
of England, where the inquiry heard
that cover-ups were commonplace, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
evidence was burned, and priests
routinely abused their power. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:53 | |
I swear by Almighty God... | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
I swear by Almighty God... | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
Answering questions for almost
three hours, Counsel | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
to the Inquiry Fiona Scolding asked
the Archbishop what he'd | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
learned from the process. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
He appeared to choke back tears. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:17 | |
I've learned to be ashamed
again of the Church. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:28 | |
Phil Johnson was abused by a priest
in the Diocese of Chichester. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:33 | |
What's also been shown up
through his evidence, | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
and the evidence throughout
the inquiry, is just how little | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
power that he actually has. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
And, you know, he can
use his authority and influence | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
to try and affect change,
but can't actually direct it. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
This is not how Justin Welby
would have chosen to mark the fifth | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
anniversary of his installation. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
But he assured the inquiry that
safeguarding remained a priority. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:57 | |
Martin Bashir, BBC News. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
We keep on hearing about the rising
concern about plastic - | 0:24:00 | 0:24:06 | |
today a major study has warned
that the quantity of plastic | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
in the world's seas will treble
in a decade unless we use | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
or throw away less of it. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
In the first of a three-part series,
we've set one family | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
from Bristol a challenge -
to see if they can live without | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
single-use plastic for ten days. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
Jon Kay has been to visit them. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
So, what's for tea in
the Evans household tonight? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:27 | |
Plastic, and plastic, and plastic.
And more plastic. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:32 | |
Liz, Andy and their girls
want to live with less of this. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
But how? | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
Plastic, plastic, plastic... | 0:24:42 | 0:24:43 | |
Plastic, plastic. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
They're going to try
living without single-use | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
plastic for ten days. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
We're up for it but... | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
I can't see how you can do it,
as a modern family. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
The bottles of lemonade
that we like. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
Tomorrow is bin day. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
We're doing well at recycling.
But where does it go from us? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
They were inspired by
watching Blue Planet 2. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
It will take years,
and years, and years. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
It will probably still be that
same bottle when you're | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
Mummy and Daddy's age. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
Shower gel, for Chloe. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
Shower gel for Ella. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:20 | |
Shampoo for the puppy. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Going plastic free... | 0:25:22 | 0:25:23 | |
Moisturisers... | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
Is going to mean some big changes. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
We're just plastic weirdos! | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
I don't think you are weird. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
I think this is pretty
typical of most households. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
Yeah, but when you start to think
about it, that's when you realise | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
how reliant on it we are. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:40 | |
We make our own toothpaste. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
How do you do that? | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
To get some tips, they've come
to meet the Williams family, | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
who have been living without plastic
for two years. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:52 | |
We are so used to being told
we need a spray for this, | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
a bottle for that... | 0:25:56 | 0:25:56 | |
They use bars of shampoo,
home-made deodorant. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
They have a little wooden
stick in the middle. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
Even special earbuds. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
Just keeps anything fresh. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:03 | |
And waxed paper
instead of clingfilm. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
I work on a fairly tight budget. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
Liz wants reassurances won't break
the bank when they try doing it. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
We think it's probably
a bit cheaper, don't we? | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
We haven't done a complete
comparison, but our gut feeling | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
is that it's cheaper. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
So windscreen wash now is water,
a little bit of detergent, vinegar, | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
and it works a treat. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
But will the Evanses
grind their coffee instead of buying | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
pods, and use a strainer,
rather than tea bags | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
containing plastic? | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
I think it's brilliant. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:36 | |
Absolutely brilliant. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
You're quite blown away by this? | 0:26:38 | 0:26:39 | |
Yes, I am. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
Well, there's the fruit and veg. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:42 | |
Tomorrow, we'll follow
their ten day challenge. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
I've got a stinking cold. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
And it's not easy. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
I've just been up to the chemist. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
Everything is packaged
in blinkin' plastic! | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
Jon Kay, BBC News, Bristol. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
Time for a look at the weather. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
Here's Tomasz Schafernaker. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:00 | |
We are going to be frost free
tonight, which will make a nice | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
change to what we have been
experiencing for such a long time | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
now. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
We will feel a big difference
tomorrow morning. Most will be frost | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
free. There will inevitably be one
two spots that will be freezing, the | 0:27:17 | 0:27:23 | |
towns and cities will be mild. The
area is coming from southern climes, | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
weather systems in the Atlantic.
That means we will see whether | 0:27:26 | 0:27:31 | |
chopping and changing over the next
few days, pretty much business as | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
usual for this time of the year.
There was a plume of milder air | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
which will be in place across the UK
tonight and tomorrow. This is what | 0:27:37 | 0:27:42 | |
we have in the forecast tomorrow.
Some clear spells around, not | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
necessarily here in Scotland. Quite
damp here. Despite the clear skies, | 0:27:46 | 0:27:51 | |
temperatures are not going to get
low at all. If you look at 5am on | 0:27:51 | 0:27:56 | |
Thursday, they will be hovering
around six or 7 degrees. That is in | 0:27:56 | 0:28:01 | |
the morning. When you step out of
the front door, on your way to work, | 0:28:01 | 0:28:06 | |
it will feel pleasant. If the sun is
out, a beautiful star to a lovely | 0:28:06 | 0:28:10 | |
spring day. Through the course of
the afternoon, the weather will | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
admittedly go downhill in western
parts. The cloud will increase. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
South-westerly wind. With that comes
milder air. Despite the rain, 10 | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
degrees in Belfast in the afternoon.
The Western Isles of Scotland get | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
rain. The best of the weather will
be across England and Wales. Eastern | 0:28:23 | 0:28:27 | |
and southern areas getting up to 12
