new research and development effort centred

Alzheimer?s Research UK with Today, the charity announced

:01:08.:01:11.

a ?100 million research campaign. I'll be talking to the chief

executive in just a moment. But first,

:01:18.:01:20.

Anna Todd reports on the schentific challenge to combat a disease,

:01:21.:01:22.

which affects around 800,000 of us. But 12 years ago she started

:01:23.:01:29.

showing signs of dementia. Now aged 82 she is

:01:30.:01:38.

in a nursing home. Her memory, her dignity,

:01:39.:01:42.

all but gone. It makes you feel

:01:43.:01:46.

absolutely terrible. I used to visit every week

a massive challenge. Well a short time ago I spoke to

:03:37.:03:46.

Rebecca Wood, who's Chief Executive of Alzheimer's Research UK,

:03:47.:03:49.

and asked how significant today s Actually it is a significant sum

:03:50.:03:52.

of money, and obviously we still need to raise that money so it is

:03:53.:03:58.

a very significant sum in that way. Straightforwardly,

:03:59.:04:03.

2 million of it will go for a stem cell research centre

:04:04.:04:05.

and on top that we have a ndtwork A significant hub for that hs

as a centre of excellence. We heard

:04:23.:04:26.

in Anna's reports talking about the fact that Paul's grandmother

:04:27.:04:29.

died 50 years ago with dementia He is now caring for his mother

:04:30.:04:34.

yet he feels, and I think m`ny other people would agree, that

:04:35.:04:38.

nothing really significant seems to They relieve the symptoms

:04:39.:04:42.

but he is right in some respects, because actually not

:04:43.:04:51.

a lot seems to have happened from Because it is a complex set

:04:52.:04:53.

of diseases. We know a lot more

:04:54.:05:02.

about the disease but actually that hasn't yet started translathng into

:05:03.:05:05.

patient benefit and that is what we Is one of the reasons because,

:05:06.:05:09.

we have this research ethic and more would go into that,

:05:10.:05:15.

but what we need to do is gdt those pharmaceutical companies taking

:05:16.:05:19.

the risk and investing A lot of this ?100 million will be

:05:20.:05:24.

for a set of drug discovery institutes and that will look at how

:05:25.:05:32.

we can get academics to look at the first part of what we need to know

:05:33.:05:37.

about the disease, to get it to a stage where the drug companhes,

:05:38.:05:41.

where people would have Then we would get the drug company

:05:42.:05:45.

to come in and take that molecule, that potential drug and test it

:05:46.:05:53.

in larger numbers of people. When will patients actually feel

:05:54.:05:58.

the benefit? The challenge is by 2025 to have

:05:59.:06:01.

a disease modifying drug. I think we will see something very

:06:02.:06:05.

different over Two men have this afternoon been

:06:06.:06:09.

cleared of a double murder hn Brahim Haji and Ahmed Ahmed had

:06:10.:06:16.

admitted being at the scene of the shooting on the Fishermead dstate

in the alleyway. The gunmen, Fuad Awale and his

:06:51.:06:52.

accomplice Abulkadir, were convicted But the prosecution alleged others

:06:53.:07:06.

were actively involved, among them Dutch national

:07:07.:07:15.

Brahim Haji and Ahmed Ahmed. Both men admitted being

:07:16.:07:20.

at the scene on the night of the murders but denied any

:07:21.:07:22.

knowledge of the shootings. The jury accepted their version

until I went to the pub. I didn't want any trouble

they will be on watch for people who've been drinking

England can deliver tonight. The authorities are hoping that

whatever the result, It is interesting is speaking to the

point but nobody wants trouble or expected. The authorities s`y they

:10:56.:10:58.

have enough police and paraledics to deal with it if it flares up

anywhere across the region. And news just in, a lawyer

:11:02.:11:06.

representing the Northampton couple extradited to the United St`tes has

weekend. And take a look at this. Horses

racing men, a 23 mile endur`nce test.

:11:57.:11:59.

A research project costing ?3 million is about to start

:12:00.:12:02.

to protect our wheat and barley harvest.

:12:03.:12:04.

It's being threatened by an old enemy.

:12:05.:12:07.

It's been about for years but experts say it has now built up

:12:08.:12:14.

resistance to the chemicals used by farmers.

:12:15.:12:17.

It's a particular threat to wheat and barley taking nutrients

:12:18.:12:21.

John's family has been farmhng in Suffolk since the 1960s.

:12:22.:12:27.

Today it is purely arable, more than 500 acres in all.

:12:28.:12:31.

The industry is so diverse, there is always something that is throwing

:12:32.:12:36.

At the moment, black grass is the main one.

:12:37.:12:44.

He says that in places 50% of the wheat crop could be lost.

:12:45.:12:49.

You couple with that the fact that cereal prices are

:12:50.:12:53.

Certainly we have seen ?50 per tonne come off the price of wheat.

:12:54.:13:03.

You then add in this and it makes it very margin`l.

:13:04.:13:06.

He says that tighter EU regulations have cut

:13:07.:13:08.

by half the chemicals they can use to control it.

:13:09.:13:12.

A limited number means greater resistance.

:13:13.:13:15.

The one thing experts say is that farmers need

:13:16.:13:17.

Last year, this field was ftll of oilseed rape.

:13:18.:13:21.

This year it is wheat and yet it is one of the worst

:13:22.:13:25.

Those in the agricultural industry say it shows that rotation

:13:26.:13:29.

Few experts know more about black grass than Dr Steve Moss.

:13:30.:13:35.

He has been researching it for over 40 years.

:13:36.:13:40.

Fundamentally black grass h`s evolved a resistance to herbicides.

:13:41.:13:44.

In the same process as bactdria have evolved a resistance to anthbiotics,

:13:45.:13:48.

and in addition there are similarities because there `re no

:13:49.:13:52.

new antibiotics, the same being true for herbicides.

:13:53.:13:57.

There are no new herbicide plans of action.

:13:58.:13:59.

Even using the most sophisthcated pinpoint technology,

:14:00.:14:05.

it does feel, he says, like a battle they are losing.

:14:06.:14:13.

Since the recent elections there's been a lot of talk

:14:14.:14:15.

about voters being disillushoned with politics and feeling that

:14:16.:14:18.

Today officials from the Hotses of Parliament held

:14:19.:14:23.

The idea is to show how polhtics at Westminster actually works.

:14:24.:14:30.

Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair was there.

:14:31.:14:34.

The organisers said they were pleased with the turnout.

:14:35.:14:37.

30 people came along to the meeting in Norwich to ldarn

:14:38.:14:40.

Some were form local charithes, some were teachers,

:14:41.:14:45.

I have just come out of interest to see how much...

:14:46.:14:50.

Do you think Parliament is out of touch, or seen to be?

:14:51.:14:57.

Yes, I think it probably is a little out of touch but pdrhaps

:14:58.:15:01.

Certainly for kids at a high school it is more difficult.

:15:02.:15:08.

So if we can try to help thdm to understand the process more then

:15:09.:15:11.

I hope this is an effective way to do it.

:15:12.:15:14.

This is a new attempt by Parliament to connect to the public.

:15:15.:15:17.

There is real concern that lore and more people appear to bd

:15:18.:15:21.

I think politics really matters and can make a real difference

:15:22.:15:26.

Unless people are engaged ` if they do not bother to vote then

:15:27.:15:32.

I worry that they do not have a right to complain.

:15:33.:15:36.

He should be at Kettering Hospital getting the splinters taken out

:15:37.:15:39.

of his backside for sitting on the fence so long.

:15:40.:15:44.

This was one of the livelier moments in Parliament yesterday,

:15:45.:15:48.

although hardly anyone was there to witness it.

:15:49.:15:51.

A recent survey found that only 51% of people believe Parliament debates

:15:52.:15:55.

Only 23% believe Parliament encourages

:15:56.:16:00.

In 2010, 92% of voters supported the main Westminster parties.

:16:01.:16:09.

Now, according to opinion polls it is just 75%.

:16:10.:16:13.

of growing public disenchantment with parliament.

:16:14.:16:19.

Many of those who voted UKIP this year say they did so

:16:20.:16:23.

because the Westminster parties all seem the same.

:16:24.:16:27.

It is questionable if anybody will have been won round

:16:28.:16:29.

by this event in Norwich today but it is a sign that the establishment

:16:30.:16:34.

recognises there is a probldm and is trying to fight back.

:16:35.:16:43.

Now, have you ever heard of the Man V Horse marathon?

:16:44.:16:46.

But apparently they have bedn running it for the last 30 xears.

:16:47.:16:51.

Only twice has a man or woman ever won.

:16:52.:16:55.

It's become an annual event attracting

:16:56.:16:58.

And this year Norfolk's four`time World Iron Man Champion Chrhssie

:16:59.:17:02.

Wellington was one of the competitors challenghng

:17:03.:17:04.

Around 500 runners, a 23.6 mile endurance race

:17:05.:17:16.

15 minutes later, the race takes a twist.

:17:17.:17:24.

Energy sapping, exciting, and a little eccentric.

:17:25.:17:30.

It started as a bet between two people about whdther

:17:31.:17:33.

Ten years ago, when I ran it, it was the first time that ` man

:17:34.:17:40.

The bet over a pint was herd, the local.

:17:41.:17:45.

The landlord earwigging a debate which

:17:46.:17:49.

suggested that man was equal to any house over mountainous terr`in.

:17:50.:17:54.

It was put to the test 25 years past, unthl they

:17:55.:17:57.

I have travelled the world `nd have never heard of a race like ht.

:17:58.:18:03.

They do scare you slightly when they come up behind yot

:18:04.:18:06.

What could be more special than running in a beautiful placd

:18:07.:18:12.

And trying to beat people on four legs?!

:18:13.:18:20.

The runners, to be clear the humans, havd the

:18:21.:18:23.

Horses are checked by vets three times and withdrawn

:18:24.:18:27.

This year, again, the bonus of four legs rather than two

:18:28.:18:32.

The first man past the post was from Essex.

:18:33.:18:37.

It feels great to win but I don't think I was really expecting

:18:38.:18:40.

When they came past, they went past really quick.

:18:41.:18:45.

I know Hugh, the first person to ever beat the horse.

:18:46.:18:52.

It was not this year but maxbe I will come back

:18:53.:18:58.

Christie was unrivalled in the women's race,

:18:59.:19:01.

as you would expect from thd world's greatest iron man triathletd.

:19:02.:19:05.

But no match for beasts with greater horsepower.

:19:06.:19:17.

Kick off in Brazil is now jtst about eight minutes away.

:19:18.:19:22.

England play Uruguay in a g`me England can't afford to losd.

:19:23.:19:25.

Luis Suarez is back from injury for Uruguay tonight and

:19:26.:19:28.

if anyone knows about how good he is just ask Norwich City fans.

:19:29.:19:30.

The Liverpool striker has scored ten goals in four games

:19:31.:19:33.

Let's go live to Carrow Road and World Cup Mike.

:19:34.:19:44.

Welcome to this restaurant. 150 votes for England fans. Let's show

:19:45.:19:53.

you some Luis Suarez action. We would not be short years yot can

:19:54.:19:57.

look at it at home. A hat`trick In actual fact, he's scored three

:19:58.:20:02.

hat`trick against Norwich Chty and if anybody knows how good hd is it

:20:03.:20:04.

is the Norwich City fans. In a moment we'll talk to former

:20:05.:20:06.

Norwich City striker Darren Huckerby but before that,

:20:07.:20:09.

let's meet some people who `re This is my collection of football

:20:55.:21:00.

football very often. They h`ve not got a particularly organised

:21:01.:21:02.

football associations or yot try to contact them and they don't get back

:21:03.:21:06.

to you. Remembered John? He is a regular at the pub and is trying to

:21:07.:21:12.

get this flag seen by the c`meras in Brazil. If he does, he gets nine

:21:13.:21:17.

gallons of there from the l`ndlord. He is hoping to be in Sao P`ulo to

:21:29.:21:31.

What happens if the worst comes to the worst tonight? This doctor is a

mental health specialist in Cambridge. He has come up whth tips

:21:38.:21:41.

about how to say stress fred during the World Cup and quite likds

hopefully everyone will get behind the team and we can produce a

Now let's take a look at thd weather.

:23:49.:23:55.

Compared to last in, condithons in Sao Paulo looking pretty good.

:23:56.:24:00.

Cloudy and cool. Pretty ide`l conditions for running around on a

:24:01.:24:04.

football pitch. For some of us today, it was cloudy and cool. We

:24:05.:24:08.

have a weak weather front so cloudy conditions first thing this morning

:24:09.:24:12.

but compared to yesterday, the cloud did break up so we saw some

:24:13.:24:15.

brightness and sunshine, particularly across the southern and

:24:16.:24:19.

western half of the region. We ended the day with bright spells `nd

:24:20.:24:23.

sunshine but some errors of cloudy throughout the night. That doesn't

:24:24.:24:27.

mean that when we collect any clear spells the chance of the order mist

:24:28.:24:30.

patch forming and also it could be cool, eight or 9 degrees. Elsewhere,

:24:31.:24:36.

where we keep the cloud, anxthing that we now ten and 12 Celshus. We

:24:37.:24:42.

start tomorrow with a bit of cloud but also some sunshine. `` `nything

:24:43.:24:48.

between 10 Celsius and 12 Cdlsius. Tomorrow we will have a warler day

:24:49.:24:52.

and where we get the sunshine, likely to be more across thd west

:24:53.:24:57.

and south of the region, temperatures of 22 Celsius hn some

:24:58.:25:00.

places. I am afraid the course again suffers a little bit, with `n

:25:01.:25:04.

onshore breeze. That will mdan it is a little bit cooler around the

:25:05.:25:08.

Norfolk home in Suffolk and Essex coastline. As for the afternoon

:25:09.:25:11.

largely fine words on Fridax spells of sunshine. There will be times

:25:12.:25:17.

where it says little bit cloudy This weather pattern contintes. We

:25:18.:25:19.

stick with high pressure out to the West. We started to get a slate

:25:20.:25:25.

north`westerly wind again. Ht cool things down a touch and agahn,

:25:26.:25:31.

particularly the North Norfolk coast, through the weekend ht will

stay a little bit cloudy. Btt mainly dry and there will be sunshhne

about. Best of that in the south and west of the region. Here is how it

:25:38.:25:42.

shapes up for the weekend. They are in mind, if you live in North

:25:43.:25:46.

Norfolk, those values will be a bit lower. `` bear in mind. A wdek

:25:47.:25:53.

weather front in Fundy may turn the northern part of the region a little

:25:54.:25:57.

bit cloudier. We start next week fairly settled before it becomes

:25:58.:26:00.

changeable. Some bright weather on the way and a barometer check for

:26:01.:26:04.

you tonight. Thank you very much. That is all

:26:05.:26:10.

from ours. Two minutes! Enjoy the football
