:05:29. > :05:33.been real concerns about the ease with which Kalashnikovs and similar
:05:34. > :05:39.weapons, including rocket launchers and the sorts of stuff we have seen
:05:40. > :05:44.here, large quantities of ammunition, TNT, yes, there have
:05:45. > :05:49.been concerns and it is right there should be concerns. This person was
:05:50. > :05:53.either transported -- transporting these weapons to others which is
:05:54. > :05:59.possible or, bearing in mind he was said to be an extreme right wing
:06:00. > :06:07.nutter, possibly wanting to use them himself. We do not know that he was
:06:08. > :06:15.specifically targeting Euro 2016. However, the heightened security
:06:16. > :06:20.that Euro 2016 is demanding from everybody would mean that if you
:06:21. > :06:27.wanted to attack sites other than the Euro 2016 football matches, now
:06:28. > :06:33.would be your chance. It's just shows what a dangerous position we
:06:34. > :06:38.are in in Europe at the moment. Yes, you can pick out these weapons and
:06:39. > :06:43.yes, it has to stop and yes, it does appear to have been stopped this
:06:44. > :06:49.evening by Ukrainian intelligence authorities. He was picked up last
:06:50. > :06:53.month. The source of a lot of these arms was the former Yugoslavia, is
:06:54. > :07:00.now more originating from Ukraine and the divided part of Ukraine?
:07:01. > :07:04.Well, you will always get arms and ammunition in areas of conflict and
:07:05. > :07:10.there is a lot of conflict in Ukraine. These arms and weapons will
:07:11. > :07:14.circulate in those areas where intelligence and security
:07:15. > :07:20.communities find it hard to penetrate. So, if you wanted to buy
:07:21. > :07:25.arms, this is where you would go. Until recently, it has been very
:07:26. > :07:30.easy, if you have got arms in your car, you could take them across the
:07:31. > :07:37.borderless parts of the European Union. There is no doubt in my mind
:07:38. > :07:39.that corporation within Europe, particularly intelligence
:07:40. > :07:45.Corporation is the way to stop anything bad from happening. Is that
:07:46. > :07:50.improving after the Paris attacks in November? I think it is improving,
:07:51. > :07:57.it is improving the hard way. They saw from Paris and Belgium that arms
:07:58. > :08:01.were being taken from one end of Europe to another, abusing the
:08:02. > :08:06.Schengen agreement. Britain is not part of Schengen so it is not affect
:08:07. > :08:11.us but it does affect people in France, that is the problem. This
:08:12. > :08:14.does not appear to have been an Islamist attack, absolutely not. On
:08:15. > :08:23.the other hand, we know Islamists have gone for both the stadium in
:08:24. > :08:26.Paris and there are many instances of Islamist attacks throughout
:08:27. > :08:34.France and these football matches are being played throughout France.
:08:35. > :08:37.No, corporation, working together, sharing intelligence is the key to
:08:38. > :08:43.nipping these things in the bud. This does appear to have been nipped
:08:44. > :08:47.in the bud but the other thing that is critical is that fans need to be
:08:48. > :08:52.very cautious, they need to understand the risks they are taking
:08:53. > :08:55.where they congregate in large numbers because there are killers
:08:56. > :09:02.out there and those killers will try to go for these trophies, embarrass
:09:03. > :09:03.the French state and kill as many as they can. Intelligence sharing will
:09:04. > :09:09.stop it. Thank you very much indeed. Leading scientists say

:12:15. > :12:21.the century of biology. I think there's a lot
:12:22. > :12:24.of truth to that. But when scientists can alter DNA

:19:17. > :19:18.of the report. She joins us now from
:19:19. > :19:27.our Cambridge studio. Have you reached any conclusions as
:19:28. > :19:30.to why women suffer more than men? Women can be more prone to
:19:31. > :19:34.experiencing anxiety because of differences in brain chemistry and
:19:35. > :19:38.hormone fluctuations but there could be other reasons accounting for this
:19:39. > :19:42.as well. Women are more prone to stress in general than men and
:19:43. > :19:46.distress can lead to the development of anxiety. Also, women and men when
:19:47. > :19:51.faced with stressful life situations are more likely to use different
:19:52. > :19:54.coping factors or different ways of coping so women will ruminate more
:19:55. > :19:57.about negative things that happened on the life and this can increase
:19:58. > :20:20.anxiety whereas when men are faced with the same stressors, they tend
:20:21. > :20:22.to use more problem focused coding approaches. Why are younger people
:20:23. > :20:24.are more affected by anxiety than other age groups? It could be the
:20:25. > :20:27.anxiety instruments we are using to measure this anxiety might not be
:20:28. > :20:29.capturing the anxiety that is experienced in older people, anxiety
:20:30. > :20:31.in older people might be offered form. You are talking about the
:20:32. > :20:34.anxiety instruments, is it chemical, is that your conclusion and is this
:20:35. > :20:40.a form of depression which is then treated as other forms of depression
:20:41. > :20:43.are as well with medication? Anxiety is different from depression,
:20:44. > :20:50.anxiety focused around fear and hyper arousal or as depression
:20:51. > :20:54.focuses on sadness, low mood on losing interest in things. There are
:20:55. > :20:58.differences. Anxiety can be treatable, we do not know what
:20:59. > :21:02.causes it. There is beset looking into that and we need more research
:21:03. > :21:06.to find out what is causing it but there is treatment available in the
:21:07. > :21:12.terms of medication and psychological therapies like CBT.
:21:13. > :21:15.You say more prevalent in Western Europe and North America, are these
:21:16. > :21:20.first world problems, people in other cultures have much more to be
:21:21. > :21:28.anxious about but get on with it. Actually a lot of the studies that
:21:29. > :21:32.were included in the review was done in western cultures and Europe so
:21:33. > :21:37.there are fewer studies done in these non-Western contexts so that
:21:38. > :21:41.is why we have less information on anxiety in non-Western cultures so
:21:42. > :21:45.need more research. But also these instruments we are using to measure
:21:46. > :21:50.anxiety were largely developed on Western populations so it might be
:21:51. > :21:53.when we apply these instruments to measure anxiety in non-Western
:21:54. > :21:59.cultures, it might not be capturing this cultural presentations. What
:22:00. > :22:05.you mean by instruments, what instruments? Questionnaires we use
:22:06. > :22:11.to assess if someone has an anxiety disorder and the criteria -- the
:22:12. > :22:18.criteria we use... These are not medical documents from practitioners
:22:19. > :22:22.or professionals? Medical practitioners and researchers use a
:22:23. > :22:26.common set of criteria to diagnose anxiety disorders and these criteria
:22:27. > :22:30.were developed on a Western population but it could be anxiety
:22:31. > :22:33.is manifested differently in other cultures and we are using these
