:05:29. > :05:33.I was passionate about keephng prices at the lower end
:05:34. > :05:41.and ?7 is a good entry pricd for the under`16, ?15 for adults.

:06:45. > :06:51.That is why it is a fair ballot a maximum of four tickets per person.
:06:52. > :06:55.A resell platform is through our own site.
:06:56. > :07:02.The other thing I would say is the only way to be sure that ticket is
:07:03. > :07:05.genuine, and valid for entrx, is if you buy through an official site.
:07:06. > :07:11.The World Cup is certainly putting Milton Keynes on thd map.
:07:12. > :07:14.Now, new plans are being considered which would see it grow to

:07:28. > :07:30.In 1967, Milton Keynes had a population of just 60,000.
:07:31. > :07:33.At the last census in 2011, that figure had more than qtadrupled
:07:34. > :07:43.In 12 years' time, it's set to grow again by another 5,000.
:07:44. > :07:45.And, by 2031, the population could have reached 350,000.

:08:08. > :08:09.an expanse of green fields, now houses and factories, fantastic
:08:10. > :08:12.MK has already identified several sites for more houshng.
:08:13. > :08:16.If it wants to avoid development in the wrong areas, it has to have

:08:57. > :08:59.MK has never had a problem attracting companhes.
:09:00. > :09:01.What makes Milton Keynes so attractive to businesses is
:09:02. > :09:05.It is halfway between London and Birmingham, halfway

:14:02. > :14:10.at photographs of a summer holiday in America. Sadly, Lisa can't
:14:11. > :14:16.remember nothing about it. @ll of us went to see Jane and Mike in Texas.
:14:17. > :14:20.The holiday was two weeks ago. Lisa asks me what we're having to eat in
:14:21. > :14:26.the evening and I will tell and then she will ask me again and again And
:14:27. > :14:31.if I have to answer you 20 times, then I will answer you 20 thmes so
:14:32. > :14:36.that short`term memory is the biggest indication of what hs going
:14:37. > :14:41.on. Originally from Liverpool, Lisa was a nurse. She was diagnosed with
:14:42. > :14:48.early onset Alzheimer's two years ago at the age of 45. Lisa `nd
:14:49. > :14:56.Phil, the chief engineer in the car industry, have two sons aged 15 and
:14:57. > :14:59.11. We get by with the support of our fantastic friends. Both other
:15:00. > :15:03.families are up in Liverpool and the visit when they can, but certainly
:15:04. > :15:10.with the friends we have got around us, in the immediate vicinity, we
:15:11. > :15:15.have got many, many friends we can count on, we can call up anx time of
:15:16. > :15:23.day or night. Surely lives opposite and she's a great help. I asked to
:15:24. > :15:34.see some photographs and Lisa's Mum finds a wedding photo. Can xou
:15:35. > :15:40.remember your wedding day? No. Lisa's eyes fill with tears, as they
:15:41. > :15:46.often do. She is trying to remember something, anything, but shd can't.
:15:47. > :15:52.Lisa's dad also had Alzheimdr's so it is particularly hard for her mum.
:15:53. > :15:57.Well, I had noticed for somd time, but you hope against hope that it is
:15:58. > :16:01.not happening. You can't believe it's happening again, and it's
:16:02. > :16:07.heartbreaking. The thing th`t upsets me most is the boys, they h`ve lost
:16:08. > :16:14.a loving mum. Because she w`s so good and cared so much. Now it has
:16:15. > :16:27.all gone, really. She knows them and give them hugs, but something has
:16:28. > :16:37.gone. We like laughing and joking, so that's still there. We'rd doing
:16:38. > :16:41.better in some ways. Lisa c`n do very little now. She likes to watch
:16:42. > :16:47.television, but even that appears to be a struggle. It is the kindness of
:16:48. > :16:48.friends, families and health care professionals which keep Phhl and
:16:49. > :16:55.Lisa going. Hugo de Waal is from Norfolk
:16:56. > :16:57.Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. He's one of the leading figtres
:16:58. > :17:09.in dementia care. Particularly aggressive in xounger
:17:10. > :17:13.people, dementia? It is. If someone gets it at 85 years old or hn their
:17:14. > :17:18.40s, while there are many similarities in those situations,
:17:19. > :17:23.the younger person will go ` far more destructive course of the older
:17:24. > :17:28.son someone who is 85. We are seeing the figures are going up, I'll be
:17:29. > :17:32.any closer to identifying what causes it or are we spotting it
:17:33. > :17:37.earlier? There has been trelendous progress over the past 15 ydars We
:17:38. > :17:43.now more about gene involvelent and all that sort of stuff, but what we
:17:44. > :17:46.don't know yet quite is how the cascade of things that go wrong
:17:47. > :17:51.leads to the illness in the end and we know it is not just one hllness,
:17:52. > :17:56.it is many different forms. While there is a lot of progress, that is
:17:57. > :17:59.still a lot to be done. I know you are looking at different waxs of
:18:00. > :18:05.helping people through it. Tell me about some of those. In the absence
:18:06. > :18:08.of a cure, what we're trying to do is maximise the sort of support we
:18:09. > :18:12.can give to people who are living with the illness, and that leans we
:18:13. > :18:19.try to put people in a position where they can to some degrde live
:18:20. > :18:24.well with dementia. The main problem is after diagnosis, when people are
:18:25. > :18:29.talking up the illness, then things go quiet, because specialist
:18:30. > :18:33.services, health or social care then to spring into action when
:18:34. > :18:37.things are really quite critical. But for many years, people will post
:18:38. > :18:44.along as best as they can, trying to make the best of it, but without the
:18:45. > :18:48.support and that is what we are looking to achieve. And you are
:18:49. > :18:52.trying to find out a lot about their lives before dementia to help them
:18:53. > :18:56.when they get it quite badlx. Precisely, because when people are
:18:57. > :18:59.further into the illness, they can communicate about themselves as
:19:00. > :19:07.easily as they did before, so we have a development called Mx Brain
:19:08. > :19:11.Look, which tries to capturd essential information about a person
:19:12. > :19:16.after diagnosis in a very friendly way. Music, personally history, the
:19:17. > :19:23.things you don't want, the things you do want. That travels in the
:19:24. > :19:26.system we are designing with the person as the illness progrdsses and
:19:27. > :19:31.is accessible to carers, who might not be able to get to know xou as
:19:32. > :19:36.well, but have this precise record of what makes you tick.
:19:37. > :19:38.Life has rarely been dull for fans of Peterborough Unhted
:19:39. > :19:41.They've enjoyed and endured three promotions and two
:19:42. > :19:44.And at the moment they're top of the league.
:19:45. > :19:47.So now is the time to build for the future.
:19:48. > :19:49.The ground is being redeveloped and they are one
:19:50. > :19:58.of the best clubs in the cotntry at finding and developing t`lent.
:19:59. > :20:03.When it comes to recruiting talented young players, there is nobody
:20:04. > :20:09.better. Darren Ferguson has become the master, finding rough dhamonds
:20:10. > :20:13.in non`league, polishing thdm up to become a little gems in the football
:20:14. > :20:21.league. You are not buying them to sell them immediately, you `re
:20:22. > :20:25.buying them to have success. The players fully understand thdy get
:20:26. > :20:30.the opportunity here and we don t stand on their way. Obviously, with
:20:31. > :20:36.international weekend just gone we had about 23 scouts at our game so
:20:37. > :20:49.that just choose people know we do well without younger players. Few
:20:50. > :20:55.had heard of Aaron Maclean, George Boyd. Over 200 goals later, they
:20:56. > :21:01.were sold for millions. It hs a policy that appears flawless. These
:21:02. > :21:08.players cost less than ?3 mhllion. Beta brewers sold them on for around
:21:09. > :21:13.?17 million. Their latest b`rgains scored five goals already this year.
:21:14. > :21:16.What they are doing is brilliant and people like me are getting ` chance.
:21:17. > :21:21.I don't want to rest on my laurels and settle here, I want to go on as
:21:22. > :21:26.they are far can go, but for the time being, this is where I
:21:27. > :21:31.differently want to be. Off the pitch, the finishing touches to the
:21:32. > :21:35.newsstand. Seats will be installed soon and it should be open by the
:21:36. > :21:44.end of September. With the team on the up, these reporters: Wh`t is a

:22:17. > :22:22.they used just normal road`going But now the racers have
:22:23. > :22:25.something more purpose` built. We're talking 1000 horsepowdr `
:22:26. > :22:27.capable of reaching 100mph. Jonathan Park has been to Snetterton
:22:28. > :22:46.to see them in action. Trucks will never match sports cars
:22:47. > :22:50.in the glamour stakes, but when it comes to sheer horsepower, there's a
:22:51. > :22:54.lorry load here. What is thd secret to driving something as big as this
:22:55. > :23:00.round a track? It is all about momentum. It is five and a half
:23:01. > :23:10.tonnes of wheat, you have jtst over 1000 horsepower, but once you have
:23:11. > :23:23.slowed that either as an most of the racers are hauliers during the week.
:23:24. > :23:27.These trucks might have been the ugly ducklings of motor sport, but

:24:26. > :24:33.of the previous threes. The quickest start at the back. Generallx, when
:24:34. > :24:36.somebody comes with an eagld, they're not here very long. The
:24:37. > :24:41.trucks race five times over the weekend and the British
:24:42. > :24:48.Championships, when friendship in the paddock gets put on hold for
:24:49. > :24:52.some no holds barred racing. It looks like fun. But then solebody
:24:53. > :24:53.would ask me to have a go and I don't want to do.
:24:54. > :25:04.Let's get the weather. And going to start the beautiful
:25:05. > :25:07.photograph showing the Northern lights across Norfolk. Therd is a
:25:08. > :25:15.very small chance we could see them tonight. If you do get out, look
:25:16. > :25:20.North and make sure you are away from any light pollution and let us
:25:21. > :25:25.know if you get lucky, parthcularly if you get any photographs. The
:25:26. > :25:30.cloud cloud is a benefit today. We have recorded pleasant tempdratures
:25:31. > :25:39.for September, a lovely sunny afternoon. We ended a fine with
:25:40. > :25:43.breaking cloud. Around 1am hs the best time to catch a glance of the
:25:44. > :25:48.Northern lights if they are there. But then it starts to get cloudy and
:25:49. > :25:59.there could be missed and folk actions. If there are clouds, it
:26:00. > :26:03.could go a few degrees lower. Restart the weekend on a cloudy
:26:04. > :26:18.note. But then it looks likd it will shift and it doesn't look that the
:26:19. > :26:22.bad forecast. Cooler temper`tures might be recorded at the co`st, but
:26:23. > :26:27.it is looking like a reason`ble day, if a little cloudy at times. Looking
:26:28. > :26:34.ahead to Sunday, a slight shift with the weather pattern. You'll notice
:26:35. > :26:39.the breeze more on Sunday, but it does look like it'll stay l`rgely
:26:40. > :26:47.dry and bright. There are shgns it could turn quite unsettled by
:26:48. > :26:51.Monday. But Sunday looks re`sonable. The risk of showers as we gdt to the
:26:52. > :26:56.start of next week and by mhd week, Edwards is all it will turn quite
:26:57. > :26:58.unsettled, but before then, we have reasonable September sunshine and
:26:59. > :27:11.temperatures. Sunday Politics returns this weekend
:27:12. > :27:15.at 11 a.m.. Have a good weekend.
