:01:48. > :01:53.long`term health anxieties. 1 man said that he left work a different
:01:54. > :02:11.person. They were all highlx skilled who were helping to make colponents
:02:12. > :02:15.from the killer submarines. ``. These men came to court with a union
:02:16. > :02:23.representative. The company was fined ?200,000 and was ordered to
:02:24. > :02:29.pay the employees were exposed to radiation that was higher than the
:02:30. > :02:34.permitted limit. We accept the findings of the court and wd regret
:02:35. > :02:38.that this incident took place in 2011, particularly because of the
:02:39. > :02:42.impact that it had on the individuals. We take out and safety
:02:43. > :02:46.very seriously and the impact on the environment. We treat these things
:02:47. > :02:53.as the highest IRT. It happdned here. Welders said the work
:02:54. > :02:59.overnight for checking in the mediation Bay. The radiation source

:03:28. > :03:35.years later, no one has any health problems but one man has bedn taking

:03:42. > :03:44.the radiation on their hands. The amounts of radiation were qtite
:03:45. > :03:50.small. They have a very small chance of developing cancer. The jtdge said
:03:51. > :03:51.that the case fell into the negligent category. The company says
:03:52. > :03:53.it is now changed its procedures. Mike,
:03:54. > :03:54.the court heard about the p`youts to the workers, but what else hs
:03:55. > :04:05.the company doing to help them? The judge said that he did not make
:04:06. > :04:09.a compensation order today because of the pay`outs that the colpany
:04:10. > :04:15.have already made. The staff have had medical advice and counselling
:04:16. > :04:20.to help them cope. Some said that they have lost confidence. However,
:04:21. > :04:25.the judge said that he was hmpressed with the way that the company had
:04:26. > :04:26.investigated. The union is looking at the outcome of the case today but

:05:08. > :05:13.his neighbour's cannabis crop. He had targeted the wrong propdrty It
:05:14. > :05:17.was very terrifying. They are high on drugs and you do not know what
:05:18. > :05:23.they are hiding. They might have a knife or a gun. The attacker was
:05:24. > :05:29.looking for a crop like this. That is home`grown cannabis. Producers
:05:30. > :05:35.have started to spread the risk by hiding plans across a number of
:05:36. > :05:39.homes. However, because drugs are a valuable commodity, they ard being
:05:40. > :05:43.targeted by gangs. Sometimes they get it wrong and they end up
:05:44. > :05:47.invading houses where there are young children and decent mdmbers of
:05:48. > :05:52.the public. We are talking `bout people coming into propertids are
:05:53. > :05:57.and using violence against people. We treated very seriously. Ht is a
:05:58. > :06:02.growing problem. 127 home invasions were reported to the police last

:06:19. > :06:27.warning landlords that they could face jail if they allowed pdople to
:06:28. > :06:36.grow cannabis in the flats. Sometimes people are made to produce
:06:37. > :06:40.cannabis under duress. Sometimes the people who are organising the people
:06:41. > :06:43.who are organising this will arrange for the cannabis to be stoldn and
:06:44. > :06:49.they will hold the people that were growing it in debt for longdr. There

:08:25. > :08:35.We have ordered thousands of new train carriages so commuters can get
:08:36. > :08:41.a seat. We have rebuilt stations like Manchester Victoria, Rdading,

:09:37. > :09:40.of the country. To create a northern Para house of the cities across the

:17:52. > :17:56.scumbag premiership defeat. I thought we started the game well.
:17:57. > :18:01.Unfortunately we were not able to make the best of those chances. We

:18:45. > :18:58.our two central defenders and I was a little bit disappointed
:18:59. > :19:08.with our performance. They needed to win the ball back out
:19:09. > :19:15.of possession and keep it But it wasn't there today
:19:16. > :19:20.for whatever reason. We feel as though in this ldague,
