:06:19. > :06:26.By Ten initiative, from Australia, has concerned the Patients'
:06:26. > :06:29.Association. We think bed-blocking needs to be tackled, and it needs
:06:29. > :06:31.to be looked at, but we're concerned that by setting an
:06:31. > :06:33.arbitary target on it and introducing a financial incentive
:06:33. > :06:39.to try and meet that target, patients will be discharged
:06:39. > :06:44.inappropriately and patient care will be compromised. This incentive
:06:44. > :06:47.doesn't compromise patient safety. In fact, our focus is on patient
:06:47. > :06:52.safety and quality, and by freeing up capacity with initiatives like
:06:52. > :06:54.this, we improve patient safety across the board. At the City Care

:07:49. > :07:53.multiply the figures to say how good this place is. You OK,
:07:53. > :07:56.Margaret? Yes, thank you.I'll show you in the mirror. The hairdresser
:07:56. > :07:59.comes every Thursday, so it's a little bit more homely and patients
:07:59. > :08:09.generally have a good experience, and although they have to go home,
:08:09. > :08:11.
:08:11. > :08:14.they don't want to! I think this is the way forward. I think hospitals
:08:14. > :08:18.are really struggling to cope with the number of emergency admissions
:08:18. > :08:22.they're having at the moment, and I think there's a lot more we can do
:08:22. > :08:26.in the community to provide better care out of hospital. With a range
:08:26. > :08:29.of specialists on tap, that care can be delivered here, in a nursing
:08:29. > :08:36.home, or in a patient's own home. The feedback halfway through a six-
:08:36. > :08:40.month pilot is very positive. Staff at Aviva in Norfolk have been
:08:40. > :08:43.warned that hundreds of jobs are at risk. The insurer, which has a
:08:43. > :08:48.large base in Norwich, needs to lose 2,000 posts from its worldwide
:08:48. > :08:51.workforce. That could mean more than 300 job losses in the city.
:08:51. > :08:57.Many of these staff will have gone home tonight worried about their
:08:57. > :09:00.jobs. Aviva employs 6,000 people in Norwich, making it the city's
:09:00. > :09:05.biggest private employer. The insurers says it needs 2,000 job
:09:05. > :09:08.losses across the UK, Europe and Asia over the next six months.
:09:08. > :09:12.Aviva isn't saying which specific locations will be affected, but if
:09:12. > :09:22.6% of the Norwich workforce were to be cut, that would mean around 360
:09:22. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:31.job losses. Aviva has problems. A year ago, chief executive Andrew
:09:31. > :09:35.Moss quit after a shareholder revolt over his pay. The group is
:09:35. > :09:38.too exposed to the Eurozone and its shares are sagging. The new chief
:09:38. > :09:40.executive Mark Wilson says that job losses are essential if Aviva is to
:09:40. > :09:44.remain competitive. It's worth bearing in mind that Aviva remains
:09:44. > :09:48.committed to Norwich, that even if these job losses do take place, it
:09:48. > :09:58.will still be a very important operating centre for the company.
:09:58. > :09:58.
:09:58. > :10:08.We are determined to work to ensure that remains to be the case. Aviva
:10:08. > :10:11.also wants to cut redundancy pay. Those losing their jobs in the next
:10:11. > :10:14.six months will still receive four weeks pay for every year of service,
:10:14. > :10:16.but after that, it will fall to two weeks.
:10:16. > :10:19.Meanwhile, 150 jobs are at risk at an engine-making factory in

:22:24. > :22:26.the London Marathon. He went the extra mile, combining running was an

:22:30. > :22:34.holding them back. I have not come across anybody who trained as hard
:22:34. > :22:38.as I train. They don't want to put that level of working. They are
:22:38. > :22:42.happy to be the best in Britain. Slowly but surely, that has not been
:22:42. > :22:47.good enough. He believes that excelling on the track is the key to
:22:47. > :22:51.success. That is just what Mo Farah did last summer, taking gold. His
:22:51. > :22:55.next goal is the marathon, starting with running the first half of
:22:55. > :22:58.Sunday's race. I am looking forward to it. That doesn't mean, like,

:23:13. > :23:18.that he is up there trying to win the race in 2014. I am involved in
:23:18. > :23:25.athletics, in the sport, I wanted to move on. I don't want to be standing
:23:25. > :23:28.here in 30 years! Eamonn Martin is proud of his past. As chairman of
:23:28. > :23:33.Basildon Athletics Club he is also developing the athletes of the
:23:33. > :23:37.future. So, if Kenyon and Ethiopian men continued tenure winning streak
:23:37. > :23:44.in London, perhaps he will have to closer to home for the next British
:23:44. > :23:47.winner. Four years ago, we had our hopes on
:23:47. > :23:52.another Essex man winning the London Marathon but you let us down all
:23:52. > :23:55.stop I did! Two years running. I ran it with my
:23:55. > :24:05.wife the second time and would never do it again. If you're running it,
:24:05. > :24:14.
:24:14. > :24:20.good luck. I did four hours ten! How before some showers. We saw some
:24:20. > :24:23.sunshine. The radar shows us just how heavy some of those showers
:24:23. > :24:28.were. We have not seen the back of them. A lot have cleared out onto
:24:28. > :24:31.the North Sea but still some showers to come. Any could be heavy.
:24:31. > :24:35.Overnight, they will tend to fade away and we will get some clear
:24:35. > :24:41.skies for a time. Perhaps not long enough for temperatures to drop
:24:41. > :24:45.below six degrees. But it more cloud rolling in and this might produce
:24:45. > :24:51.some patchy rain in places. It could end up being a wet start for most of

:25:00. > :25:06.That wind easing. It has been strong and can -- gusty. High-pressure
:25:06. > :25:11.coming. Tomorrow, on the cool side. We will see some further showers.
:25:11. > :25:15.They look as though they will bail lighter and less widespread. Because
:25:15. > :25:21.the winds will be later, they will be slow to clear. We could catch one
:25:21. > :25:25.just about anywhere. In the afternoon there is a better chance
:25:25. > :25:31.of brighter spells and sunshine but temperatures will be modest. You can
:25:32. > :25:35.see the direction of that wind, the northerly direction. A brisk breeze
:25:35. > :25:39.around the course. Into the afternoon there will be a chance of
:25:39. > :25:42.showers but the skies start to clear. That means a cold night
:25:42. > :25:52.tomorrow night. We have the risk of some frost for the next couple of
:25:52. > :25:52.
:25:52. > :25:55.nights. That is down to the high-pressure bringing in light
:25:55. > :25:57.winds and clear skies. Fine weather for the start of the weekend.
:25:57. > :26:01.Average temperatures but more cloud on Sunday. You will see that those
:26:01. > :26:06.winds are much lighter. The nights to flag up are tonight, Friday night
