On the killing of a vulnerable teenager. | :00:11. | :00:24. | |
His mum is now warning others about the danger of knives. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
As much as you think it's going to protect you, it's not. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
How this creature could help in the fight against Alzheimer's. | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
And heavy rain developing later tonight particularly across western | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
areas where there could be snow as well. Details later in the | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
programme. A serious case review is going to be | :00:49. | :00:49. | |
carried out after the killing A local man has admitted murdering | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
17-year-old Camran Green and now Camran had been under local | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
authority care and an investigation has begun into how he became | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
involved with a criminal gang. Our Home Affairs Correspondent | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Charlotte Callen reports. 17 years old and under the care | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
of social services, Camran Green He'd fallen in with a gang | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
and he was dealing drugs. Despite having a care team, | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
he was able to travel by train from Birmingham | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
to Cheltenham at weekends. Customers ordered drugs | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
over the phone from him, That's how he met this man, | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
Steven Sharpe, who let him stay On the 2nd of October last year, | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
Sharpe tried to rob Camran He stabbed him with this 14-inch | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
knife, described as a Rambo Police say more young | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
vulnerable people are getting I think it is an indication | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
of the world we live in where lots of communications | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
are by mobile phones and people That's what we're seeing | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
here in the drugs market. His mum wants to warn young people | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
not to carry knives. She's also upset her son wasn't | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
better looked after. You know, they should have found | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
out where he was going, who he was with, you know, | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
all that a mother would do. His care workers should | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
see him as their child. So I am quite disappointed | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
and annoyed they didn't Dudley City Council, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
who were responsible for Camran's care, say this is a tragic case | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
and our fault with the family. -- and our thoughts are with the | :02:43. | :02:54. | |
family. They say it is now the subject | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
of a serious case review. The judge here today said the murky | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
world of drugs had taken Steven Sharpe was given | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
a life sentence. He will serve at least | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
24-and-a-half years in prison. A man has branded South | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Gloucestershire Council "insensitive" after his mother | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
received a letter about her council The letter was written | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
to Ada Davies, who died in February, informing her that she would no | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
longer get a reduction It even invited her to make | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
a new claim for a reduction. The authority has apologised for | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
the automatically generated letter. This is the manduca sexta and it | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
loves to eat and scientists in Bath hope it could help | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
in the fight against dementia. They'll be feeding caterpillars | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
a sugary diet to see Our Health Correspondent Matthew | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
Hill has had exclusive access This is the newest weapon | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
in the fight against Alzheimer's. For some time, scientists have known | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
that how much sugar we eat So they've enlisted the help | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
of one of the greediest creatures on the planet - | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
this very hungry caterpillar. This is kind of almost | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
the end of the cycle... The clue's in its Latin name - | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
manduca sexta which means We are studying these | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
because we are interested in the damage that sugars cause | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
to proteins in the diet. In the colony, we hold | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
all of the stages of the life cycle. So it goes through all the stages | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
but it is the caterpillar stage It's been known for some time that | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
people with Type 2 diabetes are far It's thought that's because glucose | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
forms a harmful by-product in their blood, which makes it | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
harder to kill the abnormal proteins known as plaques and tangels, | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
which form in the brain. The same team of scientists in Bath | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
have already developed a technique using a fluorescent light | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
to discover the tell-tale It's called glycation - | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
where sugar attaches to proteins Scientists think a substance found | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
in berries and chocolate, called flavonoids, may | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
reduce this glycation. So they are adding these flavonoids | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
to the caterpillar diet to see It's an interesting model system | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
that we're using to test the effects of high sugar on biological | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
function, which we hope will give us a way of testing a mechanism that | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
can be used to screen drugs and interventions to reduce this | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
glycation that we are seeing Yes, these caterpillars like eating | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
sugar, so we can mimic that high-sugar environment that | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
you see in humans. This is the only place in Europe | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
to culture these caterpillars. They evenually transform | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
into a moth, and these pests can One essential ingredient | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
for horn worms is tobacco. They need the smell of it in order | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
to breed and lay eggs. That is why the university | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
have a special licence This research project | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
could take years. But if this greedy caterpillar can | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
shed light on how diet could reduce the chances of Alzheimer's, | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
then we may well have Earlier, I spoke to Dr Rosa Sancho, | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
the Head of Research She told me she welcomed any | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
research into the disease. Dementia is caused | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
by a mix of factors, And by environmental, | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
I mean our lifestyle, So it is not the first time | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
that sugar is linked However, I would say that rather | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
than the one food group, the best evidence supports that | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
people should have a balanced and healthy diet in general, | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
not just pay attention to one You mentioned a balanced | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
and healthy diet as regards How far have you got to finding out | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
what can prevent it? Well, the best evidence | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
supports vascular health. So, really what is good for your | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
heart is good for your brain. The best evidence says | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
that we should exercise, we should keep our cholesterol | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
and blood pressure in check, not smoking and, as this | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
study has alluded to, There is also some evidence behind | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
keeping socially and mentally active as a way to prevent the development | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
of Alzheimer's disease. Where are we currently in finding | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
a cure for Alzheimer's? Do you think we will see | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
that in our generation? We have had more funding for | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
research then we have had before. We have a lot of political backing | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
in the last few years and we have seen the start of more | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
and more clinical trials. So we hope that yes, | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
in our generation, It's really important | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
because at the moment, people do not have access | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
to effective treatments. And research like this and any other | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
research is very important to further our understanding | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
of what causes it and how we can A generous legacy has been | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
left to people who live in the West Somerset | :08:30. | :08:40. | |
village of Porlock. Susan Taylor left ?700,000 | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
to improve the village 1,200 letters have now been | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
delivered to people living in the area asking for ideas on how | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
to spend the money. It's such a big amount | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
of money and... -- something amazing for the kids, | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
maybe? Probably build a swimming | :09:01. | :09:16. | |
pool or something? A decision on how to spend | :09:17. | :09:17. | |
the village's inheritance will made Forest Green Rovers have gone top | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
of the National League tonight Christian Doidge scored in the final | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
minute to beat Solihull Moors 2-1. The victory puts Forest Green | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
three points clear. That's it from us tonight. More news | :09:31. | :09:41. | |
on your local station and online. Good night and here is the forecast. | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
A chilly wind started to develop. Let me take you through the | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
forecasts as we head through to tomorrow. A band of rain developing | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
across western areas. That will take shape through the course of the | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
night. There is a question mark as to how far east that will be by | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
first light. It will rotate north-east with giving heavy rain | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
and snow in places. And the rest of tomorrow will brighten up. Through | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
the afternoon. Temperatures tonight dropping towards freezing in some | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
upland spots. The rain is across western part of Somerset at the | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
moment. Some of that good fall as snow, it could penetrate down to | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
about 100 metres or 200 metres elevation and lying at 200 metres | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
plus. There could be patches elsewhere. There is uncertainty | :10:39. | :10:47. | |
about the position of where it is tomorrow morning. That rain will go | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
north eastwards. Then in the afternoon, it will start to brighten | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
up. Some quite slow-moving, heavy showers in that part of the day. | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
Temperatures below average. It will feel decent where you | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
Heavy rain, snow and ice are all in the forecast once again. It was | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
quite a wintry scene today, especially in Scotland. Some very | :11:19. | :11:19. |
