:00:24. > :00:29.Health officials say more than 80% of people in England aged

:00:30. > :00:33.between 40 and 60 are either overweight, inactive,

:00:34. > :00:37.Public Health England says their lifestyles are greatly

:00:38. > :00:39.increasing their risk of diseases such as diabetes.

:00:40. > :00:43.Our Health Correspondent Robert Pigott has more details.

:00:44. > :00:49.Aged 41 and weighing 22 stone, Lee was told by his seven-year-old

:00:50. > :00:53.son that he loved him even though he was fat.

:00:54. > :00:59.Since August, when he changed his diet and began to exercise,

:01:00. > :01:04.It was a case of, should we just order a pizza tonight?

:01:05. > :01:07.We had food in but we couldn't be bothered cooking it.

:01:08. > :01:10.I think you just become a bit lazy and a bit drawn out

:01:11. > :01:17.There are many people in Lee's position.

:01:18. > :01:19.Almost 80% of women aged 40-60 are either overweight, obese,

:01:20. > :01:22.physically inactive or drinking more than official guidelines.

:01:23. > :01:25.Among men, almost 90% fall into the same category.

:01:26. > :01:29.Among the potentially devastating outcomes of this accumulation

:01:30. > :01:35.It has doubled in this age group in the last 20 years and already

:01:36. > :01:41.costs the NHS in England an estimated ?14 billion per year.

:01:42. > :01:44.We are ageing as a population but too many of us are ageing

:01:45. > :01:50.The reason why we are seeing this increase in chronic

:01:51. > :01:53.diseases such as cancer, stroke and heart disease is in large

:01:54. > :01:58.part because of behaviours which are adopted in the 40-60 age period.

:01:59. > :02:01.For example, still smoking or not getting enough physical activity,

:02:02. > :02:10.or perhaps drinking too much alcohol.

:02:11. > :02:14.The big impact, of course, is that this is going to put a huge

:02:15. > :02:17.To get the message across, in March Public Health England

:02:18. > :02:20.launched a health quiz as part of its One You campaign.

:02:21. > :02:23.It says more than 1 million people have now taken the quiz

:02:24. > :02:25.and now have a route map to change their lives.

:02:26. > :02:41.One woman has died after up to 20 vehicles were involved in dozens of

:02:42. > :02:50.collisions on the A40 near Witney in Oxfordshire. Brown a dozen people

:02:51. > :02:51.were hurt. The road has been closed in both directions. -- around a

:02:52. > :02:54.dozen people were hurt. Search and rescue teams are looking

:02:55. > :02:57.for the crew of a fishing boat which sank off the coast

:02:58. > :02:59.of Kent last night. One person was found clinging

:03:00. > :03:02.to the hull this morning, but it's Dover Coastguard is

:03:03. > :03:04.co-ordinating the operation. Our Correspondent

:03:05. > :03:14.Simon Jones is there. What's the latest, what are they

:03:15. > :03:17.telling you about the search, Simon? Well, the alarm was raised in the

:03:18. > :03:23.early hours of this morning when a passing boat saw this tab sized

:03:24. > :03:27.fishing vessel and one of the crew members standing on top of it. It is

:03:28. > :03:30.thought he had been like that for several hours. He was airlifted to

:03:31. > :03:34.hospital and is now being given treatment. He was able to tell the

:03:35. > :03:38.emergency services that two of his colleagues were missing. A huge

:03:39. > :03:41.search has been taking place throughout the course of the

:03:42. > :03:45.morning, we have had two lifeboats from Ramsgate taking part as well as

:03:46. > :03:48.a search and rescue helicopter. I understand in the last few minutes a

:03:49. > :03:53.team has been flown over from Belgium where the fishing vessel is

:03:54. > :03:56.from, consisting of two divers and also a doctor. Those divers are

:03:57. > :04:00.going to attempt to go underneath this upturned vessel to see whether

:04:01. > :04:05.the two other crew members are there. At this time of year, the

:04:06. > :04:10.temperature is around nine or 10 degrees. As each hour passes, hope

:04:11. > :04:12.is fading. If they were wearing the right equipment, the Coast Guard

:04:13. > :04:16.here tell me they could potentially survive in the water for several

:04:17. > :04:21.hours. Certainly they are keeping up the search and also keeping hope

:04:22. > :04:22.that they will be able to find these missing crew members. Simon, thank

:04:23. > :04:27.you. Simon Jones, there. Almost 300 nail bars have been

:04:28. > :04:29.visited by immigration officials in recent weeks in a renewed bid

:04:30. > :04:32.to crack down on illegal More than 70 shops are likely

:04:33. > :04:38.to face fines, and more than a dozen vulnerable people were identified

:04:39. > :04:41.as being at risk of modern slavery, A nail bar in south London,

:04:42. > :04:49.one of 280 across the country raided in recent weeks to tackle

:04:50. > :04:53.the modern-day slave trade. The aim is to find people living

:04:54. > :04:56.under forced servitude but also Three people were arrested

:04:57. > :05:01.at this business, all The nail bar industry is the latest

:05:02. > :05:07.to be targeted by the Home Office As a result of the raids,

:05:08. > :05:19.68 businesses were warned they could be fined for immigration

:05:20. > :05:21.offences, 97 arrests, and officers identified 14

:05:22. > :05:25.potential victims of slavery. Many of them are brought

:05:26. > :05:27.here illegally and then forced into servitude to pay off massive

:05:28. > :05:30.debts to the traffickers. Rarely do we see people kept

:05:31. > :05:35.in dungeons or anything like that but there is always

:05:36. > :05:39.a control element over them. They have been

:05:40. > :05:46.deceived to come here, controlled by traffickers, families

:05:47. > :05:50.may be threatened back home. It is those circumstances

:05:51. > :05:53.we have to overcome to encourage about experiences and help bring

:05:54. > :05:58.the traffickers to justice. Another raid on another

:05:59. > :06:00.south London nail bar. Two were arrested here and will be

:06:01. > :06:02.deported, a third may have been forced to work

:06:03. > :06:05.here and is being investigated. The government says modern

:06:06. > :06:07.slavery is a barbaric crime and it is sending a strong message

:06:08. > :06:10.that it won't be tolerated. NHS hospitals have made

:06:11. > :06:16.more money than ever Figures from 89 health trusts

:06:17. > :06:21.across England suggest ?120 million was raised

:06:22. > :06:27.from parking fees last year. Patient groups have criticised

:06:28. > :06:32.rising parking charges and the Department of Health said it

:06:33. > :06:35.expects Trusts to put concessions in place for disabled people,

:06:36. > :06:41.carers and shift workers. The Israeli Prime Minister,

:06:42. > :06:44.Benjamin Netanyahu, has intervened to delay a vote on building hundreds

:06:45. > :06:54.more settlement homes Last week, the UN Security Council

:06:55. > :06:58.called for an end to Israeli settlements on occupied land, a

:06:59. > :07:01.decision that unusually wasn't vetoed by the United States.

:07:02. > :07:04.Our Middle Correspondent Yolande Knell joins us from Jerusalem.

:07:05. > :07:12.What do you make of this move by Benjamin Netanyahu? Well, it's a

:07:13. > :07:18.very significant move. This was expected to be the first approval of

:07:19. > :07:21.new settler homes, around 500 of them, since the very controversial

:07:22. > :07:25.UN Security Council resolution which the Palestinians have warmly

:07:26. > :07:31.welcomed and which Israel says it completely rejects. It called it

:07:32. > :07:37.disgraceful, shameful and absurd. Originally, the head of the

:07:38. > :07:40.municipal committee, the head of this Jerusalem committee, had said

:07:41. > :07:44.that he planned to press ahead as scheduled with a vote on these

:07:45. > :07:48.settlement construction is. We were told by a committee member as the

:07:49. > :07:51.vote was cancelled earlier this morning that actually it was the

:07:52. > :07:56.Prime Minister himself who had made the call, ask them not to strain

:07:57. > :08:01.relations with the Obama administration at this particular

:08:02. > :08:07.time ahead of a crucial speech that US Secretary of State John Kerry is

:08:08. > :08:14.expected to make ahead of the conflict. It is of course the

:08:15. > :08:18.busiest time of the year for retailers and the message to consume

:08:19. > :08:21.is all around us on advertising hoardings, buses and television.

:08:22. > :08:24.But there are warnings the raw materials used to make the things

:08:25. > :08:29.Last year around 60% of the goods we threw away ended up in landfill

:08:30. > :08:38.Every year, nearly 19 tonnes of raw materials are used to make

:08:39. > :08:42.But only 5% of the raw material value can be re-used.

:08:43. > :08:45.So, campaigners are calling for new thinking about how goods

:08:46. > :08:47.are designed to ensure they last longer, as our correspondent

:08:48. > :08:54.Out with the old to make way for the new.

:08:55. > :08:58.When something breaks or is outgrown, it usually ends up here.

:08:59. > :09:00.A throwaway culture means we keep on buying.

:09:01. > :09:04.But that takes its toll on the environment.

:09:05. > :09:11.And on the supply of raw materials that manufacturers use.

:09:12. > :09:13.At this company they make bikes for children.

:09:14. > :09:16.It's been a busy time of year, good news for the balance sheet.

:09:17. > :09:19.But the business is looking to the future where the bikes

:09:20. > :09:27.We think raw material prices will be such that bicycles become

:09:28. > :09:37.The frame and forks are the heart the bicycle, so we started there.

:09:38. > :09:45.Stainless steel has been chosen for its durability,

:09:46. > :09:48.and because it doesn't even need painting.

:09:49. > :09:53.Instead of selling the bikes, they will rent them instead.

:09:54. > :09:58.And when a child grows, they will exchange the model for a bigger one.

:09:59. > :10:00.Having foreseen this challenge coming in the future

:10:01. > :10:03.around raw materials, this is a threat to children being

:10:04. > :10:09.able to afford to access cycling, that is pretty devastating.

:10:10. > :10:13.And what we're working on here is seeking an alternative

:10:14. > :10:16.solution that is ready in place for when that time comes.

:10:17. > :10:19.So this is our head office on the Isle of Wight.

:10:20. > :10:22.We have just over 100 people who work at the foundation.

:10:23. > :10:24.It's a way of thinking being championed by the world

:10:25. > :10:27.record-breaking yachtswoman, Dame Ellen MacArthur.

:10:28. > :10:31.Her charitable foundation promotes a circular economy

:10:32. > :10:33.and believes its principles can apply to everything from washing

:10:34. > :10:38.When you set foot on a boat and you take that boat

:10:39. > :10:43.around the world, you take with you everything

:10:44. > :10:46.Because you know 2,500 miles away from land,

:10:47. > :10:53.I suddenly realised that our global economy is no different.

:10:54. > :10:55.It's entirely dependent on resources we have once

:10:56. > :10:58.in the history of humanity and yet we are using them up.

:10:59. > :11:00.So the economy itself, the way it functions,

:11:01. > :11:06.This new set of wheels is both circular in design

:11:07. > :11:10.Tomos is the first child to test the new technology.

:11:11. > :11:12.I'm a great fan of buying things that last a long time,

:11:13. > :11:17.If they get the pricing right and they are affordable

:11:18. > :11:21.for everybody, then I can see it being quite a good model.

:11:22. > :11:23.Companies including Google, Nike and Renault are already buying

:11:24. > :11:27.But consumers will also need to change their habits

:11:28. > :11:42.The next news on BBC One is at 6 o'clock.

:11:43. > :11:43.Now we join the BBC's news teams where you are.
