:01:02. > :01:03.man who made ten visits before doctors realised he had
:01:04. > :01:08.a blood clot on his brain. Alex Ray from Shefford was suffering
:01:09. > :01:11.from headaches and sickness but doctors diagnosed
:01:12. > :01:18.concussion on one occasion, Finally, a CT scan showed
:01:19. > :01:25.bleeding on the brain. But by the time he had treatment,
:01:26. > :01:31.Mr Ray was left with permanent Some guy stole my mobile phone
:01:32. > :01:39.and I took a blow to the head. In the days after that he was fired
:01:40. > :01:42.from his well-paid finance job, his wife left him,
:01:43. > :01:45.taking their two-year-old son, after bizarre behaviour brought
:01:46. > :01:52.on by a brain haemorrhage, undiagnosed by doctors
:01:53. > :01:54.for three months. A lot of blurred vision
:01:55. > :01:58.and massive headaches. Then in the later stages
:01:59. > :02:01.I couldn't walk properly. One of the doctors said
:02:02. > :02:06.I was walking like a drunk person Alex Ray first came here to the A
:02:07. > :02:15.at Lister in Stevenage. They had a look at him
:02:16. > :02:18.and then let him go. He then went to his GP surgery
:02:19. > :02:21.in Shefford on eight different occasions, seeing eight
:02:22. > :02:22.different doctors. They thought he may
:02:23. > :02:24.have an ear infection. Finally, fearing for his life,
:02:25. > :02:28.he came back here. With a blood clot on his brain
:02:29. > :02:34.still unfound, they sent him home. Everyone was responsible because,
:02:35. > :02:39.on each occasion, had any one of them said,
:02:40. > :02:41."Get yourself to hospital, I'm arranging a scan for
:02:42. > :02:44.you," the head injury would have been revealed
:02:45. > :02:47.and different treatment would have occurred,
:02:48. > :02:48.resulting in Alex probably saving his eyesight, certainly
:02:49. > :02:53.making it a lot better than it was, and he would have retained the
:02:54. > :02:55.executive brain function which he After a seven-year legal battle,
:02:56. > :02:58.finally a pay-out I'm still not happy but I can't
:02:59. > :03:08.turn back time so I have I just hope it doesn't happen
:03:09. > :03:15.to anyone else in a similar The Trust told us,
:03:16. > :03:22.although the majority of Mr Ray's claim was against the GP practice,
:03:23. > :03:24.the Trust has accepted it was wrong that he
:03:25. > :03:27.was not referred for a CT scan. It's hoped the settlement
:03:28. > :03:29.agreed will go Eventually a call to an out of hours
:03:30. > :03:35.service led to His eyesight damaged for good
:03:36. > :03:40.and signed off work. Now he just wants to be
:03:41. > :03:47.there for his son. Earlier, I spoke to Dr Peter Carter,
:03:48. > :03:50.the former head of the Royal College of Nursing who now
:03:51. > :03:52.works as an independent I asked him how often this kind
:03:53. > :03:58.of misdiagnosis can happen. This is a pretty
:03:59. > :04:04.exceptional case, a very serious case, and every sympathy
:04:05. > :04:09.with the gentleman involved, but it is actually very rare
:04:10. > :04:11.to have had something where someone has made
:04:12. > :04:13.so many visits to their GP and then
:04:14. > :04:16.to a hospital But is it the case that
:04:17. > :04:21.because GPs are under pressure, generally
:04:22. > :04:26.they get ten minute appointments, I think we should be very proud
:04:27. > :04:31.of our general practitioner colleagues but there is no doubt
:04:32. > :04:34.that general practice Go to any surgery
:04:35. > :04:39.on any day and it will be chock-a-block and GPs are under
:04:40. > :04:43.a huge amount of pressure and it is sad that occasionally someone will
:04:44. > :04:47.miss something which in retrospect looked obvious but at the time
:04:48. > :04:54.a busy person can miss. But do you think that GPs
:04:55. > :04:57.could be better trained The GP has to know
:04:58. > :05:03.a little about a lot because every day they may
:05:04. > :05:07.have 15, 20, 25 patients come through with a huge
:05:08. > :05:10.range of different presentations. Whereas a consultant then
:05:11. > :05:13.goes on to do specialist training So whilst I know that
:05:14. > :05:19.a patient may feel, "Well, why wasn't that
:05:20. > :05:21.so easy to spot?" Again, what may seem quite
:05:22. > :05:26.obvious when things have gone wrong and there has been
:05:27. > :05:31.a re-examination of the case, is not necessarily the case when a GP has
:05:32. > :05:35.just got a stream of patients coming in with a huge variety
:05:36. > :05:40.of issues and conditions. How worried are you
:05:41. > :05:44.that in the present climate this kind of thing
:05:45. > :05:46.could happen again? Right across the NHS
:05:47. > :05:50.there have been huge cutbacks and what we need
:05:51. > :05:53.to do is invest more Virtually every western European
:05:54. > :05:58.country invests more than we do. France, Germany,
:05:59. > :06:02.Spain, I could go on. Police have named the woman who was
:06:03. > :06:05.found dead at a flat in Luton days before a man's body
:06:06. > :06:08.was found dumped in a bin. Tabussum Winning, who was
:06:09. > :06:11.34 and from Pakistan, was discovered at her home
:06:12. > :06:15.in Essex Close 12 days ago. A week later, a man's body was found
:06:16. > :06:19.in a wheelie bin outside. A man's been arrested
:06:20. > :06:23.in connection with both deaths. He's been bailed to
:06:24. > :06:26.return at a later date. Plans to close six of
:06:27. > :06:30.the main routes into Cambridge at rush hour
:06:31. > :06:33.are now being reconsidered. The Greater Cambridge City Deal
:06:34. > :06:36.was trying to keep traffic out to reduce air pollution
:06:37. > :06:40.and congestion. The plan led to protests from both
:06:41. > :06:45.commuters and businesses. Tonight, as ever, the evening rush
:06:46. > :06:52.hour in Cambridge was busy. Cars crawling along
:06:53. > :06:55.Hills Road as commuters But part of a plan to ease this
:06:56. > :07:02.congestion is set to be abandoned The plan was to close parts
:07:03. > :07:08.of this road as well as five others in and out
:07:09. > :07:11.of Cambridge to traffic during the morning and evening rush hour,
:07:12. > :07:15.in order to make it easier for bikes The proposals were met
:07:16. > :07:20.with vociferous opposition. Protests were held, and more
:07:21. > :07:23.than 10,000 people And now the council
:07:24. > :07:30.is thinking again. The proposal to put six points
:07:31. > :07:33.at different places was going to restrict traffic to
:07:34. > :07:36.too great an extent, so we get the message
:07:37. > :07:40.from city businesses who are doing
:07:41. > :07:42.deliveries and residents living within the city centre that we have
:07:43. > :07:46.to look again at those proposals and make sure that what we come back
:07:47. > :07:49.with next time is a practical solution to gridlock
:07:50. > :07:52.and bus unreliability. This is an embarrassing
:07:53. > :07:55.U-turn, isn't it? Well, no, it's listening
:07:56. > :07:58.to the public. Three weeks ago,
:07:59. > :08:02.we spoke to Pete Howard a courier firm, who was worried that
:08:03. > :08:06.road closures would affect Given the number of roads
:08:07. > :08:10.and the issues around them, we are having
:08:11. > :08:12.to come in right round When we met up again today
:08:13. > :08:17.he was pleased that the council I won't take it as written
:08:18. > :08:24.in stone until it But, yeah, it is a very positive
:08:25. > :08:29.reaction and it shows 10,000 people on a
:08:30. > :08:34.petition, many business owners. It is good they are
:08:35. > :08:37.paying attention. Councillors still plan to go ahead
:08:38. > :08:41.with other parts of the City Deal, including introducing a tax
:08:42. > :08:44.on parking at offices and redesigning roads to make them
:08:45. > :08:49.better for bikes and buses. But, for the time being at least,
:08:50. > :08:54.traffic will be allowed to crawl along some of
:08:55. > :09:01.the city's busiest roads. Thanks to advances
:09:02. > :09:03.in medical treatment, many more people are
:09:04. > :09:05.surviving cancer or living At Peterborough City Hospital,
:09:06. > :09:10.staff have set up a special project to help people cope
:09:11. > :09:14.with the effects of the illness. In the UK, cancer survival has
:09:15. > :09:16.doubled in the last 40 years, according to the charity
:09:17. > :09:21.Cancer Research UK. Do you think that's going to be
:09:22. > :09:24.enough for both of them? Mum of four Ellen was diagnosed
:09:25. > :09:28.with cancer two years ago. It had already spread
:09:29. > :09:30.and she's not sure You think about the children, I
:09:31. > :09:41.thought about my family, my sisters, my mum, my dad, and the thought
:09:42. > :09:45.of having to tell all of them was I think it has made such
:09:46. > :09:50.a difference for me coming here because obviously I am living
:09:51. > :09:55.with it so I am living The project is believed to be one
:09:56. > :10:00.of the first of its kind in the country and could help
:10:01. > :10:02.reshape the future of Every day across
:10:03. > :10:05.the Peterborough Trust, up to eight people are diagnosed
:10:06. > :10:09.with cancer but, thanks to modern medicine,
:10:10. > :10:11.many of those will survive for longer than they would
:10:12. > :10:14.have done many years ago and it will be able to come
:10:15. > :10:17.to the centre to receive What we're finding for people who
:10:18. > :10:23.use the service here is that they are amazed at how many people
:10:24. > :10:26.are having the same problems. Some of these things
:10:27. > :10:30.that they don't realise are quite common for people and things we can
:10:31. > :10:33.help with through our courses, through our one-to-one sessions,
:10:34. > :10:38.through emotional support. It really can make
:10:39. > :10:40.a difference to these Cancer Research UK say there have
:10:41. > :10:43.been great advances in the way We are seeing more people
:10:44. > :10:49.surviving cancer now. Survival rates have actually doubled
:10:50. > :10:52.in the past 40 years, which is good news, but obviously
:10:53. > :10:55.still too many people And also some of those
:10:56. > :10:58.treatments have terrible So what we are doing
:10:59. > :11:01.is looking for research, we're looking to find kinder treatments
:11:02. > :11:04.that won't have debilitating If I wasn't coming here, I think
:11:05. > :11:10.possibly if I was at home and thoughts going round in your mind,
:11:11. > :11:16.I think that would be harder. It's hoped the new well-being
:11:17. > :11:19.project will help people live with cancer in the way that
:11:20. > :11:32.works best for them. Later, Dan has the weather
:11:33. > :11:40.for the weekend. Dan is here with
:11:41. > :11:43.the weekend weather. Anthony Ogogo is raring to get
:11:44. > :11:49.back into the boxing ring, we meet him ahead
:11:50. > :12:03.Later this evening Cambridge is host to the world premiere of a new film
:12:04. > :12:05.about the leader of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett.
:12:06. > :12:16.It's been put together by re-knowned filmmaker Anthony Stern.
:12:17. > :12:25.He was a student with seed in Cambridge and they went to art
:12:26. > :12:28.school together. Earlier today he said that the idea for the movie
:12:29. > :12:36.came when he found old film and pictures from the 60s. I found all
:12:37. > :12:40.these photographs in my cell alert home, and they started making a
:12:41. > :12:50.series of pictures of my life as a child. -- in my cell at home.
:12:51. > :12:57.Episodes really, and it all added up into little stories, mini films.
:12:58. > :13:01.When you took these pictures out of your basement and started looking at
:13:02. > :13:10.them did it bring back things that you had forgotten? Yes. Having got
:13:11. > :13:15.Parkinson's, it helped me a lot to remember who I was in the past. And,
:13:16. > :13:24.music was right at the heart of everything that we did in the 1960s.
:13:25. > :13:31.Yes, music and fashion. Some major change occurred and it was freedom I
:13:32. > :13:39.think. We will all free then, you see, and now we're not free. We were
:13:40. > :13:51.free from the war years and parent's generation. We were the first
:13:52. > :13:58.outpouring of freedom after that. Syd Barrett was one of the lads
:13:59. > :14:05.around town with me he was a lovely guy, a wasn't famous then he was
:14:06. > :14:09.just himself. -- he wasn't famous then. He never grew up he was always
:14:10. > :14:19.a child. What you remember about Cambridge in the 1960s? Sells
:14:20. > :14:29.mostly, let's be honest. Music, obviously -- girls mostly. As a film
:14:30. > :14:36.RU pleased with it? I love it, it is my life, I wasn't trying to be
:14:37. > :14:42.famous, I was just there as an observer. Today, with mobile phones
:14:43. > :14:46.and the way that people book all things now, everybody seems to be
:14:47. > :14:52.doing what you were doing then. Yes, but they are doing it digitally said
:14:53. > :14:57.that photographs will be lost. Whereas, film lasts for ever. Being
:14:58. > :15:05.here with people who felt exactly the same as you changed your life?
:15:06. > :15:12.Yes, there was something good about Cambridge. It is the old stone you
:15:13. > :15:16.walk along at night, people walked them before hundreds of years ago
:15:17. > :15:23.and you have the vibrations of all that knowledge and Palin and wisdom.
:15:24. > :15:27.Tank you very much. -- and talent and wisdom.
:15:28. > :15:35.and after years of battling injury there's a welcome
:15:36. > :15:39.return to the boxing ring for Suffolk's Anthony Ogogo.
:15:40. > :15:41.But first football, and we hear from MK Dons manager
:15:42. > :15:43.Karl Robinson after a poor run of results.
:15:44. > :15:45.The details from James Burridge at Stadium MK.
:15:46. > :15:53.Here we are in mid October and surprise surprise the managers are
:15:54. > :15:59.feeling the pressure again Carl Robinson here at MK Dons. He is
:16:00. > :16:02.currently the fair at longest serving manager in English football.
:16:03. > :16:10.But his team are stuck in a rock in League 1, desperate to find an
:16:11. > :16:13.answer. Gone are the glorious moments of promotion to the
:16:14. > :16:18.championship, gone are the stars who propelled them there. He is having
:16:19. > :16:22.to be built into a seven season as manager and it is not going
:16:23. > :16:28.according to plan, they have not won at home since March. How much is
:16:29. > :16:34.eating you up at the moment? Yes, a lot. You can't hide that because you
:16:35. > :16:41.want to win. But I'm just as proud as my players as I ever have been.
:16:42. > :16:44.Like they say, these times are sent to test-tube and sometimes, in any
:16:45. > :16:50.industry you're bad days and good days. How deep you see him coping
:16:51. > :16:56.with the pressure of manager at the moment? -- how to use the him.
:16:57. > :17:04.Brilliantly, or the players by him and all want to play the same way --
:17:05. > :17:12.all the players are behind him. Tuesday night against Bristol Rovers
:17:13. > :17:17.was a cruel reminder of how fickle football can be. Robinson was left
:17:18. > :17:23.berating the officials. I've been here for nearly 350 games, I
:17:24. > :17:28.remember after 25 games it was a lot worse than this. Can you turn it
:17:29. > :17:36.around this time? Had bullied before, twice. It is about changing
:17:37. > :17:42.the guard. -- I have been here but oral, twice. You're lucky, any other
:17:43. > :17:48.manager would have been sacked by now. Are you worried about that?
:17:49. > :17:54.Lizzie does, that is his decision, I know I'm good at what I'd do and
:17:55. > :17:58.almost at the best and all my players are talented and gifted and
:17:59. > :18:04.work hard every single day of their life. I have no fear of failure if
:18:05. > :18:11.that's what people want to know. Here we are in the wet corner of the
:18:12. > :18:19.changing room at MK Dons. -- in the red corner. Title fight he's taking
:18:20. > :18:23.on Craig Cunningham, the last three years have been pretty rough for him
:18:24. > :18:34.but as Tom Williams now reports, he is on the comeback trail.
:18:35. > :18:42.He says the hardware is done and that is without throwing a punch.
:18:43. > :18:52.One look at the way in and Anthony Edberg O is clearly in supreme shape
:18:53. > :18:56.ahead of byte night. I have won this fight weeks ago with the hardware
:18:57. > :19:00.guide put in so I know I've got to turn up on Saturday night and bring
:19:01. > :19:07.the best me and I will be victorious. Middleweight, blue
:19:08. > :19:12.ribbon red category. It embodies skill, strength. To be the best
:19:13. > :19:18.middleweight you have to be the best writer on the planet. Ogogo pound
:19:19. > :19:27.professional after claiming bronze at the London Olympics. Injury has
:19:28. > :19:31.prevented a faster progress, he became a household name starring on
:19:32. > :19:36.strictly come dancing, but is focused the last year on boxing. How
:19:37. > :19:41.has it that the pinned a stepping stone is this for you, going for
:19:42. > :19:45.your best professional title this weekend? It is massive, I was
:19:46. > :19:52.brought up with my mum and sisters and didn't have much money growing
:19:53. > :19:55.up. I'm not money orientated, I'm given by an, award, prestige and
:19:56. > :20:01.that is what this belt is going to give me. He was a superstar after
:20:02. > :20:12.doing nothing, is only been on a little bouncing show. -- a little
:20:13. > :20:18.bouncing show. Had you made the progress that you have done since
:20:19. > :20:23.the Olympic? I am making up the last time and going to win my first title
:20:24. > :20:28.tomorrow night, I want to collect as many belts and silverware as
:20:29. > :20:35.possible. It is about how I regarded at the end of my career. In ten
:20:36. > :20:41.years' time I want to look back and say yes, I did it. I wouldn't change
:20:42. > :20:48.boxing in Birmingham on anything. Ogogo means business. So confident
:20:49. > :20:53.he is already planning the defence of his belt in Norwich in December.
:20:54. > :21:01.He has to win at best but in his words, that is a formality. Just

:22:54. > :23:05.weeks he passed away. -- Alan's I test. They are just absolutely
:23:06. > :23:09.brilliant, they really are. I have grandsons myself and if they turn
:23:10. > :23:16.out like these boys I will be a proud grandmother. So far they have
:23:17. > :23:20.raised thousands but cancer research and a charity they set up in their
:23:21. > :23:25.friend 's name. It was a bit overwhelming, I couldn't believe it
:23:26. > :23:30.happened but the best B weeks. It was quite difficult to deal with. --
:23:31. > :23:38.I couldn't believe it happened but the first few weeks. When did you
:23:39. > :23:43.decide to put a positive spin on it and do seven about it? A few weeks
:23:44. > :23:48.later when I found out how well his family were doing. What are you
:23:49. > :23:56.feeling when you bust? It differs from time to time. What goes to your
:23:57. > :24:00.head? It is never the same. Any memories? Occasionally, but not
:24:01. > :24:05.particularly. It is more about raising money now than it is about
:24:06. > :24:16.remembering. Last week Toby and Joe had a trip to the palette Palace --
:24:17. > :24:20.a trip to the palace. This week they have to take a break from hanging up
:24:21. > :24:28.clothes and trouble to Wembley Stadium instead to pick up their
:24:29. > :24:33.teen hero awards. A day to remember that these two lads who pledged
:24:34. > :24:45.never to forget their best friend, Aaron. Isn't that brilliant. I hope
:24:46. > :24:51.they have a really good time. Now when I was driving into work today

:24:56. > :25:08.We have been talking about this chilly North flow. If we take a
:25:09. > :25:12.look at the satellite pixie can see quite a bit of cloud out there but
:25:13. > :25:16.it is broken. If we take a look underneath that cloud we will see
:25:17. > :25:21.the showers we had today. The heaviest have stayed offshore but
:25:22. > :25:26.close to the coast. At the showers by inland as well, in the fair west
:25:27. > :25:31.of the region it did stay mainly dry. But, inundated with your
:25:32. > :25:40.pictures. He was one from earlier today. And where each, it is upside
:25:41. > :25:46.down. Fondly cool a smile in the sky. It is caused by the sun is
:25:47. > :25:53.shining through high-level clouds, which doesn't happen very often. So,
:25:54. > :25:58.this evening we have a few showers in the east which will be inland.
:25:59. > :26:03.Some clear spells as well inland. Some list. Chilly in the
:26:04. > :26:12.countryside. Around the coast a knob around 7 degrees. Again fairly
:26:13. > :26:19.similar weather again -- around the coast staying around 7 degrees.
:26:20. > :26:25.Quick passage 12 showers but most of the time to write temperatures
:26:26. > :26:28.getting up to 13 or 14 degrees, more or less average. I cold the start to
:26:29. > :26:36.Sunday, temperatures close to freezing. Maybe a touch of frost.
:26:37. > :26:40.Mist and fog widespread, and we will also have a few showers across
:26:41. > :26:47.Northbrook and North Cambridgeshire. Probably more than the graphic
:26:48. > :26:55.suggests, feathers cloud -- further south. Temperatures getting up to 12
:26:56. > :26:58.or 13 degrees as we get to Sunday afternoon. Bruce Wedderburn coming
:26:59. > :27:04.up on the south but it will weaken quite a bit by the time it reaches
:27:05. > :27:10.of. At this stage the Monday it is looking like quite a chilly day,
:27:11. > :27:12.cloud, misty, some patchy rain. Hopefully brighter and mouth but
:27:13. > :27:25.Tuesday. Here your barometer. Thank you very much, Dan. Have a
:27:26. > :27:27.good weekend. Goodbye.
