:00:38. > :00:40.It's believed that Kevin and Ruth Burke from the village

:01:07. > :01:10.It must have felt like looking for a needle in a haystack.
:01:11. > :01:14.Mid-morning, they found the crash site and the five bodies.
:01:15. > :01:16.The news was given at a police press conference.
:01:17. > :01:18.Poor weather has been hampering the search,
:01:19. > :01:20.with horrendous conditions were reducing visibility
:01:21. > :01:28.I can sadly now confirm a crash site has been located and that five
:01:29. > :01:30.people have lost their lives during this incident.
:01:31. > :01:34.I'm sure you will appreciate this is an agonising time
:01:35. > :01:36.for the families and friends of all involved.
:01:37. > :01:39.Our thoughts have very much with them at the time.
:01:40. > :01:42.This is as close as we can get to the crash site.
:01:43. > :01:44.That is in the area behind me in the nest.
:01:45. > :01:54.Stretching from the A470 to the coast at Harlech and Barmouth.
:01:55. > :01:56.The terrain there, we are told, is extremely hazardous.
:01:57. > :01:57.Carol Jarvis was camping in the area.
:01:58. > :02:01.Conditions for the search teams were appalling.
:02:02. > :02:05.The conditions around the lake have been absolutely shocking.
:02:06. > :02:08.I have been camping for a couple of weeks, it's been quite nice
:02:09. > :02:10.but it's just got quite bad the last couple of days,
:02:11. > :02:15.You cannot see the top of any of the hills and the weather doesn't
:02:16. > :02:18.look lake it is even going to calm down yet.
:02:19. > :02:21.The helicopter is a twin Squirrel, manufactured by Airbus,
:02:22. > :02:28.It took off from Luton area yesterday afternoon to make
:02:29. > :02:33.a journey to Dublin and at some stage disappeared from the radar.
:02:34. > :02:38.I did my helicopter flying training in Snowdonia.
:02:39. > :02:41.It is awesome scenery but you don't go up there lightly.
:02:42. > :02:45.If the cloud is low and you can't see, you don't go, the higher
:02:46. > :02:48.you get, the more the cloud will be and you can't see forward
:02:49. > :02:51.and there are big lumps of granite in the way and you don't
:02:52. > :02:55.You have to take the weather very much into account in North Wales.
:02:56. > :02:58.It does surprise me that a experienced pilot would be in that
:02:59. > :03:00.position, in that weather at that time.
:03:01. > :03:02.The helicopter was owned by Kevin and Ruth Burke
:03:03. > :03:08.Mrs Burke is believed to come originally from Dublin,

:03:32. > :03:35.The had been due to close tomorrow after a row about funding.
:03:36. > :03:41.There has been very little information about why things have
:03:42. > :03:57.But this is good news for the people of Corby,
:03:58. > :04:00.Many of whom were very worried about the loss of this
:04:01. > :04:02.service, which provides them with an alternative
:04:03. > :04:04.to going to the hospital or their GP.
:04:05. > :04:06.The problems arose when contractor Lakeside Plus said they were
:04:07. > :04:09.and the Clinical Commissioning Groups which pay for the service
:04:10. > :04:13.said if they didn't want to run it, they'd find someone that did.
:04:14. > :04:15.It looked very likely the centre would close tomorrow,
:04:16. > :04:17.but somehow the two sides have put aside their differences.
:04:18. > :04:19.A short statement describes protracted negotiations
:04:20. > :04:22.coming to the conclusion that the centre will stay open
:04:23. > :04:27.Earlier, I spoke to Corby MP Tom Pursglove who says we should be
:04:28. > :04:35.opening more centres like this, not closing them down.
:04:36. > :04:42.This is a class leader. I want more facilities like this. Not just in
:04:43. > :04:49.Northamptonshire are our region, but across the country. This is a class
:04:50. > :04:54.leading example of how to provide urgent care facilities. Rather than
:04:55. > :05:02.spending money on lawyers, people are run the table. -- Rounder.
:05:03. > :05:04.The statement said neither party will comment further,
:05:05. > :05:06.as complex legal negotiations are ongoing.
:05:07. > :05:08.But the clinical commissioning groups said they'll be talking
:05:09. > :05:10.to patients about how the service should look in the future.
:05:11. > :05:13.A new institute is to open in Cambridge later this year
:05:14. > :05:15.to gather more and better evidence about what works across
:05:16. > :05:21.The Health Foundation is investing ?40 million into the project -
:05:22. > :05:26.Mary is getting ready to leave hospital.
:05:27. > :05:29.You have a stand up for me like you normally would.
:05:30. > :05:34.Part of her treatment is to get her mobile again.
:05:35. > :05:37.As soon as she's on her feet, the quicker she'll leave hospital
:05:38. > :05:42.and that means involving several members of the medical team.
:05:43. > :05:44.It is very important that we collaborate in regular
:05:45. > :05:48.discussions with patients, and everyone gets a personalised
:05:49. > :05:53.care plan that can make them more likely to be at home
:05:54. > :05:57.But it's not always as simple as that, with many elderly
:05:58. > :05:59.patients languishing in beds because of inefficiencies
:06:00. > :06:02.within the NHS and that's why a new research institute has been
:06:03. > :06:03.created here in Cambridge, yards away from Addenbrooke's,
:06:04. > :06:11.with the aim of ironing out some of the issues plaguing health care.
:06:12. > :06:15.For example, making sure that changes that have been made
:06:16. > :06:19.to patients' medicines in hospitals are fed through to a patient
:06:20. > :06:22.who is then looked after in a care home and that the GP is aware
:06:23. > :06:26.It is exactly the kind of challenge that the institute would be looking
:06:27. > :06:29.at helping to solve by designing systems, testing them and making
:06:30. > :06:33.sure they work for the people who have to use them.
:06:34. > :06:36.So how do you fix the very system that's meant to fix us?
:06:37. > :06:39.The institute will back innovations like this wire safe -
:06:40. > :06:43.it prevents guide wires, used in major operations,
:06:44. > :06:47.being accidentally left inside the patient.
:06:48. > :06:50.The box contains all the equipment needed to complete the operation,
:06:51. > :06:55.but can only be opened with the guide wire inserted.
:06:56. > :06:57.These so-called "never events" happen twice a month.
:06:58. > :06:59.The institute's work could minimise them.
:07:00. > :07:02.Having mechinisms for all healthcare staff, including doctors,
:07:03. > :07:06.nurses and allied health professionals to look after patients
:07:07. > :07:10.in a more innovative way which is less intrusive and has
:07:11. > :07:14.better outcomes for the patients overall.
:07:15. > :07:19.The NHS is facing unprecedented financial pressures,
:07:20. > :07:22.which is why keeping staff morale high and patient care efficient
:07:23. > :07:29.is the key goal of the institute when it opens in December.
:07:30. > :07:32.Children excluded from school in Cambridgeshire now have
:07:33. > :07:34.somewhere else to go, to continue their studies.
:07:35. > :07:37.Unity in St Neots is a new school, with capacity for 65
:07:38. > :07:41.11 to 16-year-olds who are disruptive,
:07:42. > :07:46.Kate Bradbrook has been to find out more.
:07:47. > :07:49.So we're going to find some seeds, so get your hands
:07:50. > :07:55.Hands-on learning at Unity Academy here at St Neots.
:07:56. > :07:58.This is a different way of learning - a less formal approach -
:07:59. > :08:03.to engage youngsters with social, emotional and mental health needs.
:08:04. > :08:09.Some have been out of school for up to a year before they came here.
:08:10. > :08:13.For head boy and girl Lily and Jonathan, coming here has made
:08:14. > :08:18.Kind of more relaxed and kind of know that I do need help
:08:19. > :08:22.and that I'm not a bad kid, it's just that I don't understand
:08:23. > :08:31.At my very old school, before I knew about this
:08:32. > :08:35.school, I was just getting put down and felt I was useless until I came
:08:36. > :08:38.to this school and suddenly the first week my mum and dad
:08:39. > :08:43.So you've said you are going to be nice to your mum this afternoon,
:08:44. > :08:46.Those with ADHD and autism, less able to cope with the formality
:08:47. > :08:51.Now, money which would've been spent on personal tutors or one-on-one
:08:52. > :08:55.teaching assistants is being used to provide a more holistic approach,
:08:56. > :08:59.with a focus on confidence-building as well as learning.
:09:00. > :09:02.For most of them - in fact, all of them -
:09:03. > :09:06.they haven't managed to remain in large school settings.
:09:07. > :09:12.Because they find it difficult, either because of noise
:09:13. > :09:15.or social interaction, so being in a much smaller group,
:09:16. > :09:18.it means that they can actually engage in what they are doing.
:09:19. > :09:20.This school has a capacity of just 65 pupils,
:09:21. > :09:30.The aim - that they can leave here, able to cope with whatever
:09:31. > :09:37.A new low-cost airline started flying out of
:09:38. > :09:42.Jet2.com has created 250 new jobs at the airport.
:09:43. > :09:44.It will fly to 27 different destinations
:09:45. > :09:46.across Europe, including daily flights to
:09:47. > :09:51.Stansted is now the Leeds-based airline's most southerly base
:09:52. > :09:54.as it looks to expand into the South of England, rivalling low-cost
:09:55. > :09:58.That's all from the late team. Now, a look at the weather.
:09:59. > :10:03.Overnight tonight, perhaps a few showers, but for most of us
:10:04. > :10:07.it is going to be dry with some clear spells.
:10:08. > :10:12.Following the warmest day of the year so far, highs of 22
:10:13. > :10:14.highs of 22 Celsius in Cambridge today, 72 Fahrenheit.
:10:15. > :10:17.Tonight, we shouldn't see anything lower than about 11 or 12 Celsius.
:10:18. > :10:20.These are the kind of daytime highs and we should be seen
:10:21. > :10:29.This weather front, a cold front pushing in from the west.
:10:30. > :10:31.That means we are going to see cloud increasing, and eventually some
:10:32. > :10:38.Temperature is not as high as today, but still up to 16 Celsius at best.
:10:39. > :10:49.We finish the day with a few showers.
:10:50. > :10:52.A lot of fine and dry weather as that front clears
:10:53. > :10:55.In a moment, the National forecast with Darren.
:10:56. > :10:58.Heavy, possibly thundery showers on Saturday.
:10:59. > :11:07.time of year. The chance of a shower on Saturday. Sunday will be dry.
:11:08. > :11:15.Hello, it will cool off over the next few days but that's not
:11:16. > :11:21.unusual, given how warm it was today. This was London. We just had
:11:22. > :11:23.the warmest March day since 2012, 20 two Celsius in the Sunnis skies in
