:00:49. > :00:54.Good evening. A call to allow temporary ill people to test
:00:54. > :00:57.unapproved drugs has been made right and Oxford neurologist. Kevin Talbot
:00:57. > :01:03.wants a change in the law so that patients with incurable conditions
:01:03. > :01:07.can offer eight -- can offer to test unlicensed drugs that might help
:01:07. > :01:13.them. It can take up to 15 years for a drug to go from development to
:01:13. > :01:19.licensed use. Some patients say they have gnashing those by testing -- by
:01:19. > :01:23.testing drugs sinner. Kevin Talbot is director of the
:01:23. > :01:27.Motor Neurone Disease Care and Research Centre. He is supporting a
:01:27. > :01:33.campaign led by one of his patients, a patient who once the law changed
:01:33. > :01:37.so that the terminally ill are able to test out unlicensed drugs.
:01:37. > :01:43.goes against some of the things we normally do. We believe that very
:01:43. > :01:46.strict trials are the best way to find out whether something works. I
:01:46. > :01:50.think patients such as this are challenging us to think differently
:01:50. > :01:54.because that model hasn't delivered consistently in these different --
:01:54. > :01:58.in these kind of diseases. Les Halpin is that patient helping to
:01:58. > :02:07.challenge the system. When he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease
:02:07. > :02:16.he couldn't believe no new drugs had been developed in 20 years. It is
:02:16. > :02:24.better than doing nothing and dying. Why not take some action? It may
:02:24. > :02:28.very likely save me or slow things down. Mark Stone was diagnosed with
:02:28. > :02:35.motor neurone disease last year. He started a new trial today. If we had
:02:35. > :02:38.a cure, then, by nature, people would have tried it before. But we
:02:38. > :02:43.don't. At some stage, someone will have to put their hand up and say,
:02:43. > :02:47.yes, I will try this. That is what I am prepared to do. I do not feel
:02:47. > :02:53.like a guinea pig in any way at all. The Government says it is doing all
:02:53. > :02:56.it can to make that -- make access to new medicines easier and faster.
:02:56. > :03:01.It says consultations are already underway at so that patients can
:03:01. > :03:05.access new drugs a year before the unlicensed. For those involved, this
:03:05. > :03:11.campaign is about just saving lives now, but saving lives for
:03:11. > :03:19.generations to come. Kate Law is director of clinical
:03:19. > :03:25.research at cancerous. -- at Cancer Research UK. It is always helpful to
:03:25. > :03:30.have the debate around these issues, but they are quite complex, I think.
:03:30. > :03:33.The idea that patients who are rather ill and can access any
:03:33. > :03:38.medication does need further discussion, certainly around the
:03:38. > :03:42.cancer arena, where cancer drugs tend to be truly toxic. We have to
:03:43. > :03:47.be careful even with people who are relatively fit and healthy. That is
:03:47. > :03:51.if the renal function is poor or the liver function is poor. It is likely
:03:51. > :03:56.to end their life rather than plot -- prolonging it. It does have to be
:03:56. > :04:02.taken case by case. But should terminally ill people be allowed to
:04:02. > :04:05.take those risks if they want to? I think terminally ill people can be
:04:05. > :04:08.extremely vulnerable. Having confidence in your doctor to have
:04:08. > :04:13.those kind of discussions is important. I would say that most
:04:13. > :04:16.people who want to take that risk, and the knowledge it is more likely
:04:16. > :04:22.to kill them than to give them the a few extra months, would really want
:04:22. > :04:27.to do that. But do you think a cure for cancer could be found faster if
:04:27. > :04:32.the laws were relaxed? I think the reverse could possibly happen,
:04:32. > :04:34.because if you consider that these people are already very ill, their
:04:34. > :04:40.body -- their bodily functions and organs aren't functioning
:04:40. > :04:47.optimally, I can give you a mess reading view. -- it can give you a
:04:47. > :04:51.misleading view. You're not actually going to know, because the people
:04:51. > :04:56.who can't tolerate it better might do well on that drug. There is a
:04:56. > :05:02.risk of missing good drugs by taking this point of view. Finally, what
:05:02. > :05:09.role does Cancer research play in all of this? Cancer Research UK is a
:05:09. > :05:12.major funder of academic testing in the UK. 20% of patients go on to
:05:12. > :05:22.trials jointly funded by the Department of Health and Cancer
:05:22. > :05:25.

:05:48. > :05:53.mother of two, originally from Texas. It was in this house last
:05:53. > :05:56.Christmas that she was found with multiple stabbings. Today, the court
:05:57. > :06:00.heard Janee Parsons and her husband Andrew, married for eight years,
:06:00. > :06:04.while living separately in their family home and had agreed to stay
:06:04. > :06:09.together over Christmas for the sake of their children. Janee Parsons had
:06:09. > :06:14.told him about her new boyfriend. Andrew Parsons is alleged to have
:06:14. > :06:17.taken a Dictaphone and put it under his wife's bed to sleep on her. That
:06:17. > :06:23.was found after the killing, and recorded 22 hours, including the
:06:23. > :06:26.stabbing. Janee Parsons planned to get a Visa and start a new life with
:06:26. > :06:31.her boyfriend. The court held that violence between Andrew Parsons and
:06:31. > :06:37.Janee Parsons in the past. The prosecution claimed that one friend
:06:37. > :06:44.told her to be careful. Post-mortem showed that she was killed by
:06:44. > :06:49.multiple stabbings. The Dictaphone recorded Jimmy Parsons -- Janee
:06:49. > :06:54.Parsons and the youngster -- and her young son pleading for the attack to
:06:54. > :06:58.stop. The prosecution said this was undertaken by an angry man who was
:06:58. > :07:03.jealous that she was going away with the new man. Andrew Parsons denies

:07:56. > :08:03.an Oxfordshire baby food business has been sold to a multinational
:08:03. > :08:11.American firm. Ella's kitchen has gone from a local store to a couple
:08:11. > :08:15.player. It started in a kitchen with some
:08:15. > :08:22.foot and a blender, and within years, became a multi-million pound
:08:22. > :08:26.successful business. Paul Lindley's idea was simple - to produce
:08:26. > :08:30.healthy, organic baby food. Now a new deal with an American firm that
:08:30. > :08:34.means this farm is going international. My whole reason for
:08:34. > :08:40.setting up the company was to improve the children's relationship
:08:40. > :08:45.with food so they could have easier -- debtor eating raw -- they could
:08:45. > :08:52.have better eating habits. There will now be more expertise, more
:08:52. > :08:55.markets around the world. Based in Hemley, Ella's Kitchen started with
:08:55. > :09:01.two people and now employs 60. It has been bought by an American
:09:01. > :09:05.company for an undisclosed sum of money. What does this mean for the
:09:05. > :09:10.company in says oxygen? In many ways, it is business as usual. They
:09:10. > :09:14.will stay local and there are plans to double the number of products in
:09:14. > :09:17.two years. This is the opportunity to have found a partner that
:09:17. > :09:22.believes in those values and the model we have created, as well as
:09:22. > :09:28.the values of the band. They will take it into watts of markets across
:09:28. > :09:32.the globe. It is a fantastic opportunity. Their success was paid
:09:32. > :09:38.skin to feed children clean and healthy food has led to a 19% share
:09:38. > :09:41.of the baby food market. Having three children, it is hard to get
:09:41. > :09:47.round to preparing stuff. It is good to know that they're getting
:09:47. > :09:50.something good for them. What does the future hold? There are 80
:09:50. > :09:55.products can be bought in 30 countries. There are plans to reach
:09:55. > :10:01.many more, with the firepower of a new parent company. Now this

:10:03. > :10:07.have the Kassam Stadium designated an asset of community calue has been
:10:07. > :10:10.a success. It means if owner Firoz Kassam wishes to sell it, Oxford
:10:10. > :10:17.United supporters will have to be given the option of matching any
:10:17. > :10:22.bid. Premier League club fans are now looking to follow suit.

:10:46. > :10:48.value. It means that fans can't wake up now
