:01:03. > :01:04.It's an instinct, you know what I mean.
:01:05. > :01:07.She grabbed me and I grabbed her because I really had a go

:01:11. > :01:13.I was surprised how strong I was in my left hand

:03:28. > :03:37.What is the latest you are hearing? In the last hour or so the Ministry
:03:38. > :03:42.of Justice has confirmed to us that this disturbance has now been
:03:43. > :03:47.resolved and authorities are back in control here. The emergency teams
:03:48. > :03:51.were called at around two o'clock this to new after reports of a
:03:52. > :03:56.serious disturbance. Specially trained prison officers were called
:03:57. > :04:04.to two wings which housed up to 230 inmates but we know that the
:04:05. > :04:06.Ministry of Justice has told us that significantly fewer inmates were
:04:07. > :04:12.involved in the disturbance. There have been reports recently of a
:04:13. > :04:19.concern about staff shortages and the day to day running of the prison
:04:20. > :04:24.but Mount prison is a category C prison, category A being home to the

:04:30. > :04:33.and has been open since 1987. A recent inspection in 2015 found the
:04:34. > :04:38.prison was performing well but there will be concerns tonight and ongoing

:04:44. > :04:45.EU countries have until midnight to bid to host two agencies,

:04:49. > :04:50.Between them, they employ just over a thousand staff.
:04:51. > :04:54.Sonja Jessup is here with more details.
:04:55. > :04:57.Given these are European agencies, this was on the cards
:04:58. > :05:08.That's right. We are leaving the EU after all and losing the European
:05:09. > :05:12.medicines agency which monitors the safety of medicines and the European
:05:13. > :05:15.banking authority that deals with banking rules but you only have to
:05:16. > :05:18.look at the competition this has sparked between different countries
:05:19. > :05:23.to get an idea of what we could be missing out on. They are pitching
:05:24. > :05:29.with glossy brochures, promotional videos, it has been likened to the
:05:30. > :05:36.Eurovision Song Carr says -- contest. The agencies employed
:05:37. > :05:41.around a thousand highly skilled staff, and of course they come with
:05:42. > :05:47.their families and bring a lot of business. 36,000 visitors came to
:05:48. > :05:55.the BMA in 2015, that is 30 dozen hotel nights between -- to the EMA.
:05:56. > :05:58.There has been a lot of talk of companies relocating so put this in
:05:59. > :06:02.context. It is a blow but we should be cautious about seeing this as the
:06:03. > :06:06.start of some sort of mass exodus. It is true that some banks have
:06:07. > :06:10.looked at moving out of the capital but the Centre for London think tank
:06:11. > :06:13.says we should be cautious at seeing this as an example of that with
:06:14. > :06:14.these agencies and it is not a typical example.
:06:15. > :06:17.It was inevitable once we voted to leave the EU that these agencies
:06:18. > :06:21.What they do remind us of is the huge contribution that
:06:22. > :06:23.high skilled organisation businesses like these make to London
:06:24. > :06:26.London is a tenth of the population roughly,
:06:27. > :06:29.a court of the economic activity, a third tax take so we can't afford
:06:30. > :06:40.to lose these really important high skilled businesses.
:06:41. > :06:48.He went on to say that he thinks this is where a transitional deal is
:06:49. > :06:53.needed as soon as possible to stop as falling off a cliff edge as he
:06:54. > :06:56.said. As for the agencies and their staff, they are waiting to find out
:06:57. > :07:00.where their jobs are going to go and it is understood there are around 20
:07:01. > :07:05.countries involved in the bidding process. Frankfurt is thought to be
:07:06. > :07:07.the favourite to host the EBA but we have to wait until November to find
:07:08. > :07:08.out. Thank you. A study by two London universities
:07:09. > :07:10.says offering routine HIV tests to people when they register
:07:11. > :07:13.with a new GP in high risk areas could be cost
:07:14. > :07:17.effective and save lives. One charity is calling
:07:18. > :07:18.on healthcare commissioners Tom was diagnosed with HIV six years
:07:19. > :07:27.ago after a routine screening They kept calling me and calling me
:07:28. > :07:32.and I didn't want to pick up because I was on holiday and having
:07:33. > :07:34.a good time. And I finally gave in and picked up
:07:35. > :07:38.and they told me I had It wasn't really the best way
:07:39. > :07:45.to find out I don't think. He would have preferred to have
:07:46. > :07:49.been told by his GP. I think I would have preferred
:07:50. > :07:53.to have found out about my HIV diagnosis from a doctor in person,
:07:54. > :07:56.the doctor that is just around the corner from our house rather
:07:57. > :07:59.than having to go into the city I think if we are doing HIV testing
:08:00. > :08:09.clinics in GP surgeries, that normalises HIV testing as well
:08:10. > :08:12.and it puts it in the same bracket as diabetes and I think
:08:13. > :08:14.that's good for everyone. A simple finger prick test
:08:15. > :08:17.which costs the NHS around ?25 is all that's needed to find out
:08:18. > :08:20.whether you are HIV positive or not. But, despite this, it is thought
:08:21. > :08:24.more than 13,000 people in the UK are living with the virus that
:08:25. > :08:27.causes AIDS and don't yet know it. A trial by two London universities
:08:28. > :08:32.involving nearly 90,000 people from 40 GP surgeries tested how
:08:33. > :08:34.effective it would be to offer finger prick testing
:08:35. > :08:39.when registering with a GP. They found it led to a fourfold
:08:40. > :08:42.increase in the HIV diagnosis rate. Now they are calling for HIV tests
:08:43. > :08:47.to be offered to everyone registering with a new GP living
:08:48. > :08:49.in a high-risk area and here in London that would mean making
:08:50. > :08:52.them available to people Having an HIV test at your surgery
:08:53. > :09:03.will allow you to have access to excellent treatment but then also
:09:04. > :09:06.prevent you from passing But with estimated roll-out costs
:09:07. > :09:15.of around ?4 million and huge pressures on NHS budgets already,
:09:16. > :09:17.health bosses will have to decide whether this is an area where much
:09:18. > :09:20.needed cash should be spent. I'll wish you a very goodnight now
:09:21. > :09:42.and leave you with Wendy The weather for the week ahead is
:09:43. > :09:45.the second week of the unsettled conditions but that does mean we
:09:46. > :09:50.will have some bright and bright spells but with that some rain and
:09:51. > :09:58.it will be somewhat breezy. Not all bad even in this unsettled spell,
:09:59. > :10:02.this was the London sky with a few clouds tonight and the shower
:10:03. > :10:07.bearing clouds kept a bit away from us. One or two across Kent but most
:10:08. > :10:10.of north-west London across Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire
:10:11. > :10:15.and ethics and the capital itself stayed largely in the sunshine --
:10:16. > :10:19.Essex. It will be clear and dry mostly tonight with temperatures
:10:20. > :10:22.falling back to around ten to 13 degrees and we will start the
:10:23. > :10:25.morning with some sunshine. Once again, the cloud will start to
:10:26. > :10:29.bubble up but we are looking for the same places with the showers,
:10:30. > :10:34.Berkshire and Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire and one or two heavy
:10:35. > :10:41.showers. London and south-east of Beckham 's Ntep and temperatures up
:10:42. > :10:44.to 23 degrees. -- and South East of there. The breeze will pick up on
:10:45. > :10:48.Wednesday and the rain comes in in the evening and overnight and it
:10:49. > :10:52.will be heavy going through and we'd resume with the sunshine and showers
:10:53. > :10:57.at the end of the week. As for the weekend, we will have bright and
:10:58. > :11:00.breezy conditions, mostly dry and the temperatures will be average
:11:01. > :11:01.with high pressure building on Sunday.
:11:02. > :11:09.with high pressure building on Sunday. Now the National forecast
:11:10. > :11:12.with Nick Miller. Another summer months nearly gone but let's face
:11:13. > :11:16.it, the weather has not covered itself in glory in the past few
:11:17. > :11:21.weeks, just a few moments of summer sunshine. It was Merseyside today
:11:22. > :11:26.and in Kent, they might avoid the showers tomorrow but the rest is not
:11:27. > :11:29.so lucky. Sometimes the showers fade away through the evening and the
:11:30. > :11:35.night and some have but some continue as you see in the past few
:11:36. > :11:40.hours in the western UK and there is a threat later in the night and the
:11:41. > :11:42.first part of tomorrow of some more prolonged, intense downpours in
:11:43. > :11:48.parts of north-west England and Wales so be aware of that. Elsewhere
:11:49. > :11:53.it is mainly dry with some clear spells and temperatures lower than
:11:54. > :11:58.this rate -- away from town and city centres so tempted into single
:11:59. > :11:59.figures. Some sunshine to start the day tomorrow, a
