Scientists in the us are close to a major cancer breakthrough, after trials for a new universal blood test detected eight common forms of the disease. Overall, the test found 70 of the cancers but researchers are cautiously optmistic, saying more work is needed to verify its accuracy. Heres our Health Correspondent, james gallagher. More than 1a Million People find out they have cancer each year worldwide. The sooner theyre diagnosed, the more likely they are to survive. The test, called cancerseek, is a new approach that looks for mutated dna and proteins that tumours release into the bloodstream. It was tested on eight common times of cancer, including ovarian, pancreatic and lung. In the study, on more than 1,000 patients known to have cancer, the test correctly diagnosed seven in 10 patients. The researchers atjohns Hopkins University in baltimore say more work is needed and are starting trials to see if the test can find cancers in seemingly healthy people. They say such tests could have an enormous impact on cancer mortality. Experts in the uk said the approach had massive potential. I look forward to a time in 10 years where we all go to the pharmacy and buy shampoo, we get a blood test, and we get on with our lives. The nhs is spending more money diagnosing than treating disease because if we can diagnose it early then we can treat it sooner. The researchers vision is an annual test that can catch cancer early and save lives. James gallagher, bbc news. Annita mcveigh is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news.

The 17 year old, who raised the alarm after climbing out of the home through a window, had been plotting the escape for two years. One of her sisters made it out with her, but turned back out of fear. This case has sent waves of revulsion across the United States and beyond.

Lets get some sport, 0lly foster is with us this morning. Lots going on in australia at the moment, tennis and cricket, lets start with kyle edmund. Kyle edmund is still going strong in melbourne in the Australian Open. Hes the british number two. Andy murray didnt make it to the start line and there are no british women left. But kyle edmund has equalled his best progress at a grand slam, into the fourth round. The british number 2 beat Nikoloz Basilashvili from georgia in five sets. He won the first set, but lost the next two. Areola pants down match with both men not at their best. Had to dig very deep. It was an up and down match. Temperatures have been over a0 degrees for the second day running. A lot of players have been complaining, thinking that the tournament should be stopped. They do have a heat policy but its notjust based on temperature. Kyle edmund through, but he certainly struggled. Its a tough one, but it is professional sport, its meant to hurt. Its not meant to be easy, thats the point of it. But i guess. Yeah, if people start to become ill than it might be a concern. As far as i am aware, everybody is just getting through. It is supposed to go a little bit cooler in the next couple of days in melbourne. Andy murray was watching edmund and tweeted that it was the biggest win of his career. Told him congratulations. Andreas seppi is next up for edmund. Rafael nadal is on court right now. Also talk about increased pay for tennis players. A big debate about it and tennis players. A big debate about itand an tennis players. A big debate about it and an influential voice getting involved. Novak djokovic is the president of the Players Council and called a meeting before the tournament and they are unhappy that the grand slams pay out about 7 of their income on prize money. They feel it should be a lot more. Roger federer used to have that role and he has kept quiet up to now about the pay issue. When he was in charge there were talks of player boycotts. It didnt come to that, they did get or prize money. But he has kept quiet about it until now. And he thinks that the time has come to up pay again. We are not partners, we are just players. So its always hard to rally. We had a good agreement, in my opinion, that made the grand slams happy, the players pretty happy. It seems that has run its course. So the moment that happens, there isnt the same increases any more, so players have to rally and get back together again and put in the effort. The tournaments know that and will only react when we do so. That and will only react when we do so. We are ready to do it and it will be the same process over and over again. When Roger Federer speaks you imagine they will start listening. Its not just speaks you imagine they will start listening. Its notjust the winners of the grand slams, they will take more than £2 million home. Its the players to get knocked out the in the first round. They spend a lot of money travelling. And lets talk about the cricket with ingram starting the run chase in brisbane. England chased down over 300 to win the first one dayer. That gave them a 1 0 lead in the series. Australia made 270 9 after winning the toss. Aaron finch made a century, thats two in two matches, but they couldnt get a partnership going. And their were a couple of wickets each from adil rashid and joe root. Jason roy made a record 180 in the first one dayer but he was out forjust two in the very first over of the england reply, caught by finch off the bowling of mitchell starc. Alex hales and Jonny Bairstow then tried to outdo each other, racing to 50 each. Both going, alex hales at 57 and Jonny Bairstow out on 60. England at 145 3 and racing towards taking a 2 0 lead in the series. All going well for englands cricketers and we havent said that much over the winter this weekend marks a year since donald trump was sworn in as americas 45th president and hes certainly made his mark. In whats been an incredibly eventful year, hes been accused of being everything from racist to incompetent. But unemployment in the states is at a 17 year low and many of his supporters are as loyal as ever. Lets have a look at some of the key moments of the last 12 months. I, donald john trump, do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States. Congratulations, mr president. No politician in history has been treated worse or more unfairly. We need strong programmes. So that people that love us and want to love our country and will end up loving our country are allowed in. Not people that want to destroy us and destroy our country. I can often tell how i get along with somebody very early, and i believe were going to have a fantastic relationship. Well just let 0bamaca re fail. Were not going to own it. Im not going to own it. I can tell you the republicans are not going to own it. Well let 0bamacare fail, and then democrats are going to come to us, and there are going to say, how do we fix it, how do we fix it . I am not going to give you a question. Can you state categorically. You are fake news. More than anything, ijust think it was in the best interest of our communications department, of our press organisation, to not have too many cooks in the kitchen. Its heartbreaking. But for now, thats it. The United States stands prepared to defend itself and its allies using the full range of our unmatched military capabilities if need be. There are a lot of issues that need to be talked about, need to be brought to life. Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a bleep off the field right now . Out hes fired its the largest, i always say the most massive, but its the largest tax cut in the history of our country. I consider it a work of fiction, butjust so you know, i never interviewed with him in the white house at all. He was never in the oval office. We didnt have an interview. I never questioned his mental fitness. I have no reason to question his mental fitness. The first goal is, we want trump to apologise. We deserve an apology for his comment. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed. The russia story is a totalfabrication. Its just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of american politics, thats all it is. Joining us now is Pearleen Sangha shes a democrat who worked on the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016. And jan halper hayes, from republicans 0verseas, former worldwide Vice President of republicans 0verseas. Good to speak to you both. Pearleen, start with you, in some ways it feels like years ago that i was in washington the inauguration but how do you feel United States has changed in the last year . Good morning, chloe. Thank you for having me on. One year and, it really feels like the Administration Still hasnt gotten like the Administration Still hasnt gotte n off like the Administration Still hasnt gotten off the ground. And the white house is inundated with infighting, resignations and firing. Despite Holding Power in both houses of congress we still on the brink of a government shutdown, the deadline being tonight. The biggest change that we have seen is that trumps presidency has been marked by policy announcements on twitter, something we have never seen before. That has included the muslim band, a ban on transgender people the army, both of which have been struck down by the courts. You know, the one thing domestically that trump has tried to domestically that trump has tried to do is the tax change, which is not a when. Can we get jammeds thoughts on this . Jan, as 21 year ago in washington and you were hugely optimistic about the time ahead, when i saw you one year ago. Is the country now more divided, one your arm . Ago. Is the country now more divided, one yourarm . Lacey ago. Is the country now more divided, one your arm . Lacey the thing is, the polarisation has been going on for more than 20 years as both parties have moved further to the left and further to the right. And one identity politics really became the way in which they ca ptu red became the way in which they captured voters, that polarisation was there. I dont think it has changed because the democrats are very happy to continue that. And the republicans in our own party, weve got a bit of polarisation. Do you think there is a special relationship between the us and the uk . Wheneverl get relationship between the us and the uk . Whenever i get asked that, it is kind of, what is the special relationship . I think it is, the fa ct relationship . I think it is, the fact that we are allies, but is the leadership of each country changes i think the definition of its changes. You can definitely found on the us with a trade agreement under brexit. And that is probably one of the most important special relationships that will exist. Pearleen, do you think there is that special relationship . You know, ithink there is that special relationship . You know, i think there certainly was. I think that despite theresa may being the first in line to meet President Trump, one year ago, she hasnt really gained anything from it. The government over there is in need of support, with brexit. I think it has been a stark difference to what we have seen before. And his relationship with the uk has not proved friendly or fruitful. He has actively attacked the mayor of london. And he has frankly forced to made to slap him down when he shared far right propaganda from britain first. And in addition to that, sadiq khans concerns and various parliamentary address is led by a number of mps have been broadcast over here on national news. Theyve made it clear that trump is neither welcome nor wanted in the uk. So i think that speaks volumes to the state of the relationship at the moment. It has clearly proved very embarrassing for the administration. And it has resulted in this bizarre series of tweets and press state m e nts series of tweets and press statements and why trump will not be travelling to london forgive me, pearleen. Travelling to london forgive me, pearleen. Jan, how travelling to london forgive me, pearleen. Jan, how has travelling to london forgive me, pearleen. Jan, how has President Trump down on the world stage in the last year. Pearleen has raised the fa ct last year. Pearleen has raised the fact that he has insulted the mayor of london. Also the twitter attacks on north korea and disparaging language used just last week about some countries, on a world stage how has he done . You would have to go country by country, almost. If we look at what the president of south korea says he was exceedingly complementary and credited trump as being the catalyst that got north korea and south korea to begin talks, and the fact that they are going to march together at the opening of the olympics under one flag. It is not successful diplomacy. Pearleen, please wait a moment. Jan, please finish your point, i know thats pearleen is keen to come in but she will wait until you have finished. Keen to come in but she will wait until you have finishedlj keen to come in but she will wait untilyou have finished. I find keen to come in but she will wait until you have finished. I find that very rude because i have not interrupted her. Ithink very rude because i have not interrupted her. I think there very rude because i have not interrupted her. Ithink there is some hope at davos because theresa may and trump will have a cordial conversation. I think that trump really does not mind all the controversy. He brings it on. Sometimes he shoots himself in the foot but he has a very strategic approach to his tweets. Some people might not like it but would you have told jfk to get of tv, Franklin Roosevelt to get off the radio . This is part of our culture today. And he is part of our culture today. And he is playing and better than anyone else have. Strategic to say, i am a very sta ble else have. Strategic to say, i am a very stable genius, on twitter . Well, look, come on you know hes going to respond to things like that. We did some research and people are getting so bored with hearing us on the media talk about his behaviour. A fair point. Pearleen, i know you want to make a point. I am not sure i agree with most of that. It is not successful diplomacy if americans in hawaii we re diplomacy if americans in hawaii were living in absolute fear the 30 minutes that be a missile strike because trump constantly wants to argue with kim jong un over who has the Bigger Nuclear button. And further to that is a he welcomes the controversy isnt good enough. Hes making it harder for our allies and friends to do business with america. In the past week mr rogge tree comments about haiti and all those other african countries his derogatory comments, it has really shown that he is the only one in any kind of a hole at the moment. It is just an acceptable. We need to move past this it is just not acceptable. And i think by normalising it and creating a conversation that makes it ok, that is frankly, just, unreal. Pearleen, thank you forjoining us, thank you to jan as well. Its that time of the morning where we bring you up to date in the trial of former football coach Barry Bennell. The court heard how he made a veiled threat to ruin the career of one of his alleged victims. Greg dawson is here. Tell us more. Yes this is the trial, as youve said, of Barry Bennell who was a youth football coach linked to a number of teams including Manchester City and Crewe Alexandra. He faces a total of 48 charges of sexual abuse between 1979 and 1991, which he denies. Yesterday was day seven of the trial. The jury was shown the video of a Police Interview with a former Crewe Alexandra youth player. This man said he had been scouted by Barry Bennell who then took him for training sessions at Manchester City and to a soccer school. He claimed he was later sexually abused both in mr bennells home and in his car. The alleged victim left Crewe Alexandra in 1986 to join another club. It was at this point he said he made allegations about the coachs behaviour to others though he didnt tell anyone he had personally been abused. It was at that point he said he received a two page handwritten letter from mr bennell on Crewe Alexandra headed notepaper asking why he was making allegations. He claimed the letter said football is a small world, and troublemakers dont go far in the game. In the Police Interview the former player described that as a veiled threat. And there were also details about Barry Bennells health . Yes. The court heard how Barry Bennell claimed he had part of his tongue removed because of a tumour and was unable to eat and drink. The jury was read a transcript of a Police Interview with mr bennell himself. In it the former coach said i got cancer and i thought well, its karma . If you said to me lethal injection, id take it. In the interview, officers questioned mr bennell about allegations made by another player. Mr bennell has admitted one count of indecent assault against this man. But denies other charges against him because he said the alleged victim wouldnt allow it. Mr bennell also told police how he had tried to kill himself after allegedly abusing boys because he was in his words out of control. As i said, mr bennell denies a total of 48 charges of sexual abuse in this trial which continues later today.

Mr turpin is further charged with sexually abusing one of his younger daughters. Prosecutors say the parents tormented their starving children allowing them to look at apple and pumpkin pies but not to eat them. They were allegedly allowed to showerjust once a year and if they were caught washing they were punished by beatings, strangulation and being chained to their beds. The siblings are said to be stunted and severely malnourished. The local district lawyer in Riverside County mike hestrin told reporters more about their condition. One of the children at age 12 is the weight of an average seven year old. The 29 year old female victim weighs 82lb. Several of the victims have Cognitive Impairment and neuropathy, which is nerve damage, as a result of this extreme and prolonged physical abuse. Supposedly home schooled, the children lacked even. They lack a basic knowledge of life. Many of the children didnt know what a Police Officer was. The 17 year old, when asked if there was medication or pills in the home, didnt know what medication or pills were. About the only thing the children were allowed to do in their rooms or chained up was to write in journals. We now have recovered those journals, hundreds of them. And we are combing through them for evidence. All 13 of the victims, including the defendants, typically go to sleep around four orfive in the morning, sleep all day and then be up all through the night. The victims report that as a punishment, starting many years ago, they began to be tied up. First with ropes. One victim at one point was tied up and hogtied, and then when that victim was able to escape the ropes, these defendants eventually began using chains and padlocks to chain up the victims to their beds. These punishments would last for weeks or even months at a time. The 17 year old victim that escaped had been working on a plan with her siblings to escape this abuse for more than two years. She escaped through a window and took one of her siblings with her. That sibling eventually turned back, became frightened and turned back, and went back into the house. Its been infested with rats and cockroaches, and seriously ill prisoners are waiting days to be treated, well be asking how can liverpool prison turn itself around. Next a taboo smashing comedy featuring bollywood superstar akshay kumar on a surprising theme. Pad man is inspired by the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham a school drop out from a poor family in Southern India who changed the lives of millions of women across the world by inventing a machine to make cheap sanitary pads. Lets have a look at a clip from the films trailer. Youre thinking im mad, but mad only becoming famous. Lets speak now to pad man producer Twinkle Khanna a womans activist and one of indias bestselling authors. And wife of the films star akshay kumar, who plays pad man. How did you find out about the story . I was doing research on a column about menstruation. I write columns for the times of india. I read about him and was completely fascinated. Here was a man from a very simple and conservative village and he encountered a problem and realised that his wife was using unhygienic rags. Really unhygienic as well. A normal man would say, if i cant afford sanitary pads then i will earn more money to buy them for my wife. But Arunachalam Muruganantham is a very eccentric and idiosyncratic character. He decided to make a cheaper version. His wife got fed up of testing the pads for him. He got fed up of waiting month after month. He had to waiting month after month. He had to wait a month for each trial as well. No other woman was willing to test it out. He had a contraption with a pigs blather furled with it out. He had a contraption with a pigs blatherfurled with pig s blood. He went cycling around with this. He replicated having a period. It still leaked. The people in a village thought he was a pervert or hay had a sexual disease. He tells me that some people even thought he was a me that some people even thought he wasa vampire me that some people even thought he was a vampire secretly sucking blood from animals and people overnight. He was ostracised, but still made this sanitary pad. He lost everything, lost his wife, was ostracised from the village. Even his mother left him. He was abandoned completely. His sense of determination just pulled abandoned completely. His sense of determinationjust pulled him through that period and he succeeded. And then his wife came back. Thats good. Explain for people who are not familiar with the taboo and shame attached to having periods in india. I really dont think itsjust periods in india. I really dont think its just about india. I periods in india. I really dont think itsjust about india. I think this is a problem that lots of women face globally. In india there are different taboo is. You cant touch a pickle, it will get spoiled. You cant go to temples because its blasphemy. In the western world, youd take your handbag to the toilet come you dontjust take a tampon or sanitary pad. There is still a shame that is prevalent. This august a 12 Year Old Girl was pulled up by her School Teacher because she stained her uniform and the bench with menstrual blood. She went home and committed suicide by jumping offa went home and committed suicide by jumping off a balcony. Thats the level of shame that this simple biologicalfunction brings level of shame that this simple biological function brings about. The significance of this mans story and what sounds like a very simple and what sounds like a very simple and ingenious invention, that you make a cheap sanitary pad. Sanitary pads are very expensive and taxed at 1296 in pads are very expensive and taxed at 12 in india. That is something i have been talking about repeatedly. Brooms do not have tax. Apparently in india is more important to keep your house clean and your body. I dont understand that. But to reiterate, its not just dont understand that. But to reiterate, its notjust india. In many reiterate, its notjust india. In ma ny states reiterate, its notjust india. In many states in america viagra is tax free, but tampons are taxed, because policies are made by six to five year old men with erectile dysfunction with 65 year old men. How odd was it to go out and make the film, how did you get the funding . Is surprising, but the biggest obstacle in making the movie was too convinced arunachalam that i should be able to make it. He wasnt interested because hes not a man who wants to be famous or who is interested in money beyond the point. He lives a very simple life. When i was visiting his house, we sat on a flight eight off banana leaves. He was getting excited because he was getting bed for his daughter, the first bed in the household. His philosophy is very simple. We are a world of unnecessary consumers. If simple. We are a world of unnecessary consumers. If you simple. We are a world of unnecessary consumers. If you are satisfied, and your chair is broken and you can just put a book and to balance, why not do that. So it wasnt difficult to go to a film company and make this into a huge feature film, and get the cash for somebody like pad man. Its talking about periods. Id already written the story in my book. When we went for funding surprisingly we had no problem with it. The only problem while filming, we had two junior artists it. The only problem while filming, we had twojunior artists on it. The only problem while filming, we had two junior artists on the set, and on the second day of filming they felt sanitary pads and they ran away because they were mortified at holding menstrual product. How important was that to get your husband on board, a bollywood superstar, because presumably then it will get more people to watch the film. Exactly, when i began i thought wed make a small arthouse film. Then i realised the mission was to have as many people watching it, for it to go across households in india, and globally as well and if the indian people see one of their idols holding a sanitary pad in his hand then half the taboos will be dispelled. I thought it was a good idea and it was much easier because he lives in the same house as me you could annoy him until he said yes how much is this about the message . It is a comedy. It is important to have fun and make sure this isnt just important to have fun and make sure this isntjust bridging at people. The unique part is that muruganantham is very whimsical. His tackling serious problem but he doesnt take himself seriously. And we stayed true to that because in the film. The other thing we tried to do was make sure the message was clear that you can come to the movie with your children, and you should do, and with your grandmother because the grandmother is the one saying that the wife cant enter the kitchen and has to be segregated. So we came up kitchen and has to be segregated. So we came up the comicstrip. Again so that this child friendly. So weve been very clear with that messaging. How has it been received in india . We were very apprehensive before the trailer because we thought people would say, this is a movie about menstruation and we dont want to watch it. But the response has been overwhelming, it is the most watched trailer of any indian film. People are trailer of any indian film. People a re interested. Trailer of any indian film. People are interested. I think a lot of people will go to see it and will drag conservative family members to watch it. In the uk where will we be able to watch it . At the odeon. Everywhere a widespread release thank you so much for coming in, twinkle. Thank you so much. Severely ill patients at liverpool prison are waiting days to be seen due to poor care and a lack of staff resulting in a substantial clinical risk, according to an assessment of Mental Healthcare at the jail by a senior psychiatrist seen by bbc news. In a separate report, which is published today but was leaked to the bbc last month, inspectors say Living Conditions at the jail are the worst theyve ever seen, with the prison infested with rats and cockroaches. Lets speak now to mark fairhurst, a prison officer at liverpool prison and chairman of the prison officers association. Conservative mp bob neill, who is chairman of the justice committee. And peter clarke, hm chief inspector of prisons. Let me make my way over to meet you all, gentlemen. Thank you so much for coming in. Peter, ifi all, gentlemen. Thank you so much for coming in. Peter, if i could start with you. For people who didnt see the report that was lea ked didnt see the report that was leaked to the bbc last month, give us leaked to the bbc last month, give usa leaked to the bbc last month, give us a sense leaked to the bbc last month, give us a sense of what was found at liverpool prison. The team of inspectors who went to liverpool we re very inspectors who went to liverpool were very experienced, between them they have been to hundreds of prisoners over the years. And they found conditions they describe as the worst they could ever remember. What we had were prison cells that we re what we had were prison cells that were dirty and damp, hundreds of windows were broken. Lavatories were blocked, sinks were leaking, there we re blocked, sinks were leaking, there were piles of letter in which they saw rats running around and cockroaches were photographed on the floors. And the letter. I remember asking a Senior Member of staff, pointing it out and asking what is this about, why havent you cleaned it up. He says, its got so bad that we cant use prison orderlies to clea n we cant use prison orderlies to clean it up because its a health and safety issues we need external contractors to do it. I said, you are telling me that youve allowed this prison to become too dirty to be cleaned. Extraordinary. And that is part of what sits behind our report. I want to bring you in as well, mark. You are a prison officer at liverpool prison. Just explain how bad things are on a day to day basis, to work there, and for the inmates . It is quite sad that we have to rely on achieving spectre reporting things that have been going on for some time, that management and staff have reported to the Prison Service directors. And theyve taken no action. Most of this report, and theres a theme in mr peters inspectors reports throughout the country, they state that prisons are dilapidated. That is down to the private sector contractor in charge of maintenance, who is clearly not fit for purpose, not doing theirjob. It takes less than one hour to repair a broken window, yet prisoners are getting put in prison cells not fit for human habitation. The governor of liverpool has notified this for some time but he has got the answer, its a space, its a bed, you are getting a space, its a bed, you are getting a body. I feel a space, its a bed, you are getting a body. Ifeel he has been made a scapegoat. Things are improving. I was there on boxing day. It is a lot cleaner and stuff for implementing an improved regime. Just explain the impact on the behaviour of inmates, to live in an environment like that. Because we hear so to live in an environment like that. Because we hear so often about prison officers feeling under pressure and its a difficult environment to work in any way. Added to this, how challenging is and for all of you . You have to understand that we are staff. We dont want to put a prisoner in a cell that we think is not fit for habitation. But when you are forced to buy the hierarchy you have to put them ina to buy the hierarchy you have to put them in a cell. That leads to frustration is because anybody with a broken sink or blocked toilet and waiting months for that repair to get done, they bear the brunt of the frustration. The stuff in the front line take the flak for something that isnt their fault. And this is down to private contractors. We need those services. As carillion proops, get them back in the Public Sector and get them back now. They are not fit for purpose. They are causing stability issues in our prisons. Bob, do you acknowledge that is the problem . No, there are some very well maintained private sector prisons and some badly maintained Public Sector ones. Where mark is right is that there are systemic failures because the people on the ground were not being supported by the regional and National Leadership of the Prison Service. Thats why we have some and a director of the Prison Service and the top management to explain it away. The first time weve ever done that in respect of an individual prison report, that is because it was so bad, it is a systemic failure and thatis bad, it is a systemic failure and that is when we need answers. So what needs to change . I am interested in all your points of view. Peter . You would expect me to say this but i would like to see inspection reports taken more seriously than they have been in recent yea rs. Seriously than they have been in recent years. So they forced to do what you recommend in the report . They should taken seriously. It is clear that in recent years theres been a steady decline in the number of our recommendations taken seriously. If we take the urgent notification that i made yesterday about nottingham prison, where we found it to be fundamentally unsafe, on the last inspection two years ago we made 13 recommendations specifically about safety, and when we inspected last week we found only two of those had been achieved. Thats sort of ignoring, i have to put it that way because it feels as of our reports are being ignored, that sort of ignoring will inevitably lead to a decline in standards. Bob, you are a conservative mp, is your government ignoring what peter clarke is saying in these reports. Any ignoring is happening on the part of the Prison Service, that is something that we intend to raise, the government was proposing to make it a statutory obligation, id like to see it again, that sadly was lost in the dissolution of parliament, we need to return to that and we need to increase pressure on that and make sure top Civil Servants are up to the job and if they are not supporting people on the front line that wont leave the safe and decent environment which is the obligation we need. Mark, iwant environment which is the obligation we need. Mark, i want you to read a statement weve had from the trust in charge of health care at liverpool prison. They said they put huge amounts into trying to improve services but they say they havent seen services but they say they havent seen the improvements they would have rights they sorry about that. This in the prison has hired a significant number of new officers and the prison is now fully staffed. They say urgent steps are being taken to look into the running of Health Care Services in prison. Its being subjected to a bid process because the lancashire authorities dont want it any more. We dont know who will win the bid yet. What has happened at liverpool is what we wa nt has happened at liverpool is what we want for all prisons, we want investment from the government to improve Living Conditions for prisoners and for staff the working conditions, is going to be a long overdue process. We just conditions, is going to be a long overdue process. Wejust one conditions, is going to be a long overdue process. We just one senior managers in the Prison Service to listen to staff and management and prisons that are experiencing difficulties. We want safe prisons and decent Living Conditions for prisoners and decent working conditions for staff. Staff have the right to work in a safe environment and prisoners have the right to live ina and prisoners have the right to live in a safe environment and we want that decency agenda full on with the investment and resources in place. Gentlemen, thank you so much for coming to speech to us. A lot of you have been getting in touch about the movie pad man, which is set in india and is talking about periods, it hugely taboo subject. One tweet says, i loved too talking about pad man. Martha says im so proud to see twinkle grazing a programme to talk about pad man, bollywood is taking the world by storm. Twinkle is the producer of the movie pad man, who came in to talk to us about it. Keep your m essa 9 es talk to us about it. Keep your messages coming in. A simple blood test to diagnose cancer is being hailed as a major breakthrough. Well have more details shortly. First the weather with simon. Another wintry start across the north of the uk, and in scotland, in the highlands, a lot of snowfall, look at this, real snow day, the roads around glasgow looking pretty treacherous, it will continue with snow showers moving in, particularly across the west of scotland, Northern Ireland, even across north west england snow showers of a higher ground. One or two rain showers as well, as we go through the day, particularly south west scotland, we could see travel disruption because of heavy snow and also ice. The met office has is it an amberwarning, be also ice. The met office has is it an amber warning, be prepared, south of glasgow towards Dumfries And Galloway because of their heavy snow, eagerly towards the north and west of scotland, snow showers in Northern Ireland and the north west, first the 70s looking dry and bright. At three oclock we could see between ten and 15 centimetres, more perhaps on higher ground, less than that lower levels, enough to cause disruption. Some wintry showers into the pennines, north wales, the south might see a bit of sleet, maybe some hail developing in south wales and south west england, otherwise dry with bright spells, some sunshine this afternoon across the south and east. It will pretty cold, and there, the temperatures on the thermometer might say two or three degrees in the north of the uk, but with a brisk westerly wind it will feel much colder. Maybe 1 or minus two degrees further north. Snow continues other south west scotland, and other night more wintry showers. Rain spreading into south wales and southern england by saturday morning. Some snow over the brecon beacons, clearer skies to the north and east mean it will be a cold and icy night. Saturday morning a bit of snow of the chilterns and the cotswolds, although that should clear away and for many of us its dry on saturday, dryer towards the north and east of the uk. As we go through saturday into sunday, a very different sort of day for most of us, this weather front pushing in will bring some heavy rain for a time, stronger winds on sunday and four times snow, over the pennines, the uplands, into the grampians and the uplands, into the grampians and the highlands for a time. But rain pushing east, although becoming buddha, 11 degrees towards the south west, still keeping the cold air in the and east. Becoming milder. Thats all from me. Hello, its friday, its ten oclock, and chloe tilly. A simple blood test to diagnose cancer. Scientists in america are trialling a test which can detect eight forms on the disease. Its being hailed as a major breakthrough. I look forward to a time in 10 years where we all go to the pharmacy, we buy our shampoo, we give a blood test. And we get on with our lives. The nhs is spending more money on diagnostics than treating the disease. Well be asking just how significant this is and what hope does it offer . This weekend marks a year since donald trump was sworn in as americas a5th president. But what a year its been well be asking just how has the us changed over his first year in the white house. And she lost three of her daughters within seven years but Samantha Dorricott had to stay strong for her grandchildren its no surprise many are hailing her supergran. She tells us how she keeps the memories of her daughters alive. Talking about them every day, making sure these children are happy, you know, just stay strong. Heres annita in the bbc newsroom with a summary of todays news. Scientists in the United States have taken a step towards one of the biggest goals in medicine a universal blood test for cancer. The method known as cancer seek detects eight common forms of the disease. Overall the Research Found 70 of cancers. Researchers are cautiously optmistic, saying more work is needed to verify its accuracy. Uk experts said it was enormously exciting. Living conditions at liverpool prison are the worst that inspectors have ever seen, according to a new report. They found filthy cells and inmates living among infestations of rats and cockroaches. Her majestys prison and Probation Service says its already taken action by appointing a new governor and that cleanliness has also been improved. A couple who are accused of imprisoning, abusing and torturing twelve of their children at their home in california have pleaded not guilty during their first court appearance. David and Louise Turpin were arrested on sunday after one of their children escaped through a window of their home. Police found the children severely malnourished with some in shackles. Two fishermen are missing after their boat capsized off the coast of western scotland. Lifeboats were launched after receiving a distress signal from loch fyne yesterday evening. Another man who was rescued is recovering in hospital. Eight people, including two firefighters, have been killed as hurricane strength winds swept across Northern Europe. Winds from storm friederike europe reached up to 200 kilometres per hour causing severe disruption to travel and plunging thousands of homes into darkness. Retail sales in the uk fell by more than expected in december. Sales volumes dropped 1. 5 from november, according to the office for national statistics. Its the biggest month on month fall since june statistics. Its the biggest month on month fall sincejune of 2016 when the uk voted to leave the european union, as well as the wea kest european union, as well as the weakest december performance for seven yea rs. The duration of adolescence is increasing and now lasts from the age of 10 until 2a, according to scientists. They say that young people continuing their education for longer, as well as delayed marriage and parenthood, which has pushed back popular perceptions of when adulthood begins. Writing in the Lancet Health journal, the researchers argue a change in the definition of adolescence is needed to ensure laws and government policy stay appropriate. The inquest into the death of the cranberries singer, Dolores Oriordan has opened and adjourned. They are awaiting results of medical tests. Dolores oriordan was found dead at the hilton hotel on park lane on monday morning. Her death is not being treated as suspicious. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news more at 10 30am. Heres some sport now with olly foster. The british number two kyle edmund is into the fourth round of the Australian Open after beating the georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili in five sets. He won the first set, but edmund lost that next to a mac, he had to dig very deep to see out the mat. Its the second five set match of the tournament. Its only the second time that edmund has got this fight ina second time that edmund has got this fight in a grandson. He reached the us open fourth round a couple of yea rs us open fourth round a couple of years ago. Temperatures have hit a0 degrees for the second day running. Lots of players have been complaining and saying that play should be stopped. Organisers havent done that but they say they will review their heat policy at the end of the tournament. Its a tough one. Its professional sport, end of the tournament. Its a tough one. Its professionalsport, its meant to hurt, its not meant to be easy. But i guess, yeah, if people start to become ill then it might be a concern but as far as i am aware, eve ryo ne a concern but as far as i am aware, everyone is just getting through. Roger federer has given his backing to an increase in prize money at the grand slams. Novak djokovic, as president of the Players Council, a few days ago called a meeting before the tournament. He is unhappy that the tournament. He is unhappy that the major tournaments pass on only about 7 of their income to players. We are not partners, we are just players. So its always hard to rally. We had a good agreement, in my opinion, that made the grand slams happy, the players pretty happy. It seems that has run its course. The moment that happens, there isnt the same increases any more so players have to rally and get back together again and put in the effort. The tournaments know that and will only react when we do so. That and will only react when we do so. We are ready to do it and it will be the same process over and over against about englands cricketers are chasing 271 in brisbane to take a 2 0 series lead in the one day series against australia. Australia made 270 9 after winning the toss. Aaron finch made a century, thats his second in two matches. But they could get a partnership going. There were a couple of wickets each for adil rashid and joe root. Jason roy made a record 180 in the first 1 dayer, but he was outjust in the first over of the england reply, caught out by aaron finch off the bowling of mitchell starc. Alex hales and Jonny Bairstow then try to outdo each other, racing to 50 each. Joe root and jos buttler at the crease at the moment, england 19a a and on course for victory. Ross fisher is now leading the now the leading briton at the abu dhabi golf championship. Tommy fleetwood has fallen off the pace. Fisher shot a round of 67 for the second day in a row to move to ten under. Thats two shots off the lead. Perfect distance from the outset on the course. Ryder cup star Thomas Pieters took advantage, hitting some sensational shots in a round of 65 which put him one clear at the top of the the leaderboard. Fleetwood is five shots off the pace. Scientists have taken a step towards one of the biggest goals in medicine a universal blood test for cancer. Scientists atjohns Hopkins University in the us have developed a test that screens for common forms of the disease. It was tested on eight types of cancer including ovarian, pancreatic and lung. The study was of 1,005 patients who were known to have cancer. The test correctly diagnosed 7 in 10 cases. So just how significant is this and what hope does it offer . Lets talk to professor sam janes, who leads on lung cancer at University College london hospital, and jane murphy who is a clinical Nurse Specialist at the Charity Breast Cancer care. Thanks for coming in. How excited should we be by this . |j thanks for coming in. How excited should we be by this . I think this isa should we be by this . I think this is a really exciting breakthrough. If you imagine, the big problem with cancer is that it can often grow inside our bodies. And actually spread around our bodies before we even realise we have it. We have no symptoms, and eventually something feels wrong and we might go to the gp or feels wrong and we might go to the gpora feels wrong and we might go to the gp or a Hospital Doctor and they tell us we have cancer, but u nfortu nately tell us we have cancer, but unfortunately it has spread. We have relatively limited treatments. It might help us live longer and improve our quality of life, but it will not cure us. The big vision for scientists now is that we diagnose cancer early. So even when we are without symptoms and dont know we have it. This test is a significant step in that direction. What does the tests do in simple terms . The testis the tests do in simple terms . The test is very clever, its almost like a blood biopsy, a liquid biopsy. You go and have a blood test, and what the test is looking for is signs of cancer somewhere in the body. When a cancer grows, the cells of the cancer also sometimes break upa cells of the cancer also sometimes break up a bit. What they do when they break up is release little bits of dna or protein into the blood. With the blood test, what we are aiming to do is find that abnormal protein, or abnormal dna that has come from cancer and is not our normal dna that floats around in our blood all the time. Bringing in jamie murphy. Jane murphy. Are you excited about this . We are always excited to hear of any test or development that could lead to the earlier detection and diagnosis of Breast Cancer. Its something that we will be interested to hear more about. We know how early this is, but it has a lot of potential that we are interested to hear more about. The worry is always giving false hope to people stop your. There is still a long way to go. This was done in people who already had cancer, not healthy individuals. We are a long way of knowing more about this and before it will be routinely applied to the population. With Breast Cancer we have the Screening Programme already in place. Thats one way of detecting and picking up cancers early. We speak to lots of women on the helpline who are worried about how to check themselves and the breast aware. Its something that can aid in early diagnosis and detection, and thats interesting. But it is very early days. In terms of studies, a thousand people, all of them had cancer, and it detected seven in ten cases. Is that particularly good . Seven in ten cases. Is that particularly good . Compare seven in ten cases. Is that particularly good . Compare to other studies, is that impressive . The study itself its very impressive. This blood biopsy has worked better than previous studies that have been done. I think, than previous studies that have been done. Ithink, as than previous studies that have been done. I think, as has been raised, the real challenge now, those thousand people were already patients that we knew had cancer because they had symptoms or because they were detected some other way. The real challenge now is whether we can screen people in the community, use it as the new Screening Test of the future. Thats going to be a real challenge and that is some way away. We need large studies to show thats worthwhile. When we save some way away, are we talking many years . I think the investigators of the study that has been published have already got a study like that planned. There are other major studies planned that will look at screening populations to see if these blood tests work. Jane, would you like to see this almost become like a you like to see this almost become likea mammogram you like to see this almost become like a mammogram or Something Like that, it becomes a stable part of Health Protection in the future . think it has that potential. But i think it has that potential. But i think its still a bit too early to see exactly how it will work with the current Screening Programme and how it will complement that. There will be different approaches, the mammogram, ultrasound and blood test. The more information we can get earlier on, it leads to better and more effective treatments. Often less treatment is needed for Breast Cancer in the earlier stages. So yes, it could potentially be part of a Screening Programme but quite how it would look in the future, i think its a bit too early to say at the moment. Presumably this is a relatively quick thing . Yes, its a blood test, it has to get sent off toa blood test, it has to get sent off to a laboratory somewhere. That laboratory presumably takes a couple of weeks or so to run the test. Actually there is quite a lot of biological information that needs to be extracted from the results before you get those results. I would stress at this point that its not commercially available. Its something the us team hope to commercialise but we will have to wait and see exactly what it looks like and exactly in what way they believe it should be used. Thank you for coming on to explain to us. This weekend will mark a year since donald trump was sworn in as americas a5th president. He has made his mark in what has been an incredibly eventful year. He has been accused of being incompetent and racist. Yet unemployment in the states is at a 17 year low. So how has america changed in the last 12 months with donald trump as its leader . I, donald john trump, do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States. Congratulations, mr president. No politician in history has been treated worse or more unfairly. We need strong programmes. So that people that love us and want to love our country and will end up loving our country are allowed in. Not people that want to destroy us and destroy our country. I can often tell how i get along with somebody very early, and i believe were going to have a fantastic relationship. Well just let obamaca re fail. Were not going to own it. Im not going to own it. I can tell you the republicans are not going to own it. Well let 0bamacare fail, and then democrats are going to come to us, and they are going to say, how do we fix it, how do we fix it . I am not going to give you a question. Can you state categorically. You are fake news. More than anything, ijust think it was in the best interest of our communications department, of our press organisation, to not have too many cooks in the kitchen. Its heartbreaking. That they wont let me be an officer. The United States stands prepared to defend itself and its allies using the full range of our unmatched military capabilities if need be. There are a lot of issues that need to be talked about, need to be brought to life. Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a bleep off the field right now . Out hes fired its the largest, i always say the most massive, but its the largest tax cut in the history of our country. I consider it a work of fiction, butjust so you know, i never interviewed with him in the white house at all. He was never in the oval office. We didnt have an interview. I never questioned his mental fitness. I have no reason to question his mental fitness. The first goal is, we want trump to apologise. We deserve an apology for his comment. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed. The russia story is a totalfabrication. Its just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of american politics, thats all it is. Lets speak now to alana horowitz, who is Senior Editor of breaking news, huffpost and to professor inderjeet parmar, professor in International Politics school of arts and social sciences city, university of london. Thank you both forjoining us. Alana, from a journalistic point of view, how do you view Donald Trumps first year in office . It has been a year of unprecedented actions on his part. There are so many things, we knew going into this that this would not be like covering bush, clinton, balmer, any other president because he shatters every norm. But we did not realise how much, how many norms he would shudder. Hes gone above and beyond in attacking the press, levels resembling those of nixon, from my perspective that has been a major issue. It has also been interesting to watch his presidency in line with russia and korea, decisions he has made has that inquiry has progressed. Professor palmer, how would you break down his first year, primarily successful or u nsuccessful . First year, primarily successful or unsuccessful . I think success and failure are to be seen depending on which constituencies someone belongs to. You could say either that its beena to. You could say either that its been a success if you happen to belong to the Corporate Community and your own large numbers of stocks and your own large numbers of stocks and shares, so the dowjones index has broken records, so the airspace and military have broken all records as well and if you are in a Big Corporation and you earn a large amount of money and you have wealth, then the tax reforms will count for a great deal, and you will be free of regulation. And you can drill and dump as much pollution in rivers. And if you happen to belong to people in the middle class of the working class, to whom the president promised that he would kind of restore their position and their prospects, i think the position is much bleaker. And that is shown in the low levels of approval and the very high levels of disapproval of his administration among ordinary voters. Although he is pretty popular with republican voters. Alana he is popular with his base but as the professor says, really low Approval Ratings for president. Yet the best economy in 17 years, lowest unemployment . Thats another way in which his presidency is unprecedented. People take economic wins, the high stock market, low unemployment and they see that as a sign ofa unemployment and they see that as a sign of a successful presidency. Whether it is deserved is up for debate. That tends to be linked. The fa ct debate. That tends to be linked. The fact that he has such a great economy and low approval rate and his Approval Ratings are so low it proves how devious if he is. It is a sign of that. This is really peaked with the number of people divided, and among the people who dont support him he is very unpopular. Any evidence, professor palmer, about the divided state . We hear this a lot, that the United States is more divided than ever. Thats right, theres a great deal of polarisation around the presidency and hes been organising it. He basically decided during the campaign and thereafter to buck the trend that the republicans had thought was going to govern the electoral strategies. They thought they would have to Court Minority voters. He decided he didnt want to do that. He is remaking american identity. When he talks about muslims or refugees of foreigners or immigrants, and mexicans and last week africans, and say he prefers norwegians, when you hear him talking about anti fascists in cha rlottesville, talking about anti fascists in charlottesville, saying that the White Supremacists are the equivalent thereof, i think we can see that this president is a white supremacist. He claims to be the leader of the world. That is what is polarising opinion at home and also internationally, the gallup poll released shows that the approval of america around the world has collapsed from around 48 to around 30 , and now germany is now the most approved of country in the world. So today theres polarisation, at home and abroad, around this president. Alana lets pick up on the standing of the us in the world and how thats changed. If we look at the twitter spats with north korea, disparaging terms used about certain countries, recognising jerusalem as the capital of israel, yet there are parts of the world that support him early on. Earlier we heard from one republican who said south korea was very pleased with his intervention. One of the few parts of the world where the leaders are much closer with trump because of his strong sta nce with trump because of his strong stance on north korea. But i think overall, globally, both in terms of the officials and in terms of regular ordinary citizens, hes obviously very unpopular. A gallup poll you have just mentioned, obviously very unpopular. A gallup poll you havejust mentioned, the role of us leadership has collapsed and its not just role of us leadership has collapsed and its notjust his twitter spats, its decision to pull out of the paris club at agreement, syria is pa rt paris club at agreement, syria is part of that, although the us isnt going to be part of that, his decision to withdraw from the tpb, his attacks on laughter. He is really pursuing an America First agenda. And if you are not part of america that is an insult, in a way. Professor, before we let you go, the impact of the russia inquiry on the first year of President Trump, how damaging has that been, not to his co re damaging has that been, not to his core vote but to wider public across america. Two things. Those who oppose him say he has colluded and so oppose him say he has colluded and so forth. You would expect them to say that, and his supporters say they dont believe it. They even say that if there is evidence coming forward with major collision in the election they will not believe it. The other thing is that the whole saga of the russia probes and all the various investigations, in effect is a washington drama. For most ordinary American People who voted either for Bernie Sanders all for the so called more progressive Hillary Clinton and also for donald trump they expect the next president to deliver the white house to the people. They wanted their problems to be numberone people. They wanted their problems to be number one on the agenda of american politics and government. They havent seen that. So the alienation which got trump into the white house in the first place, which got 13 million votes for socialist candidate in the body of Bernie Sanders, all those problems remain. The Democratic Party deeply unpopular. Republican leadership, generally speaking, deeply unpopular, even less popular than trump. They see it as as usual. Hes carried on the government of a hard core carried on the government of a ha rd core conservative republican character at home, and most ordinary people dont see any real benefits of anything other than bleakness for the future in the next figures.

The firm went into liquidation earlier this week, threatening the future of 1,a00 apprentices, including trainee bricklayers, carpenters and joiners. With me in the studio is sarah beale, chief executive at the Construction Industry Training Board, and charlie williams, a carillion apprentice, who joins us from maidstone. Thank you both for coming in. Sarah, first explain what you hope to do. As the industry Training Board for construction we run one of the largest providers of apprenticeships for construction. From monday morning when we heard about carillions position we put together a project teams that we could contact every single one of those young people impacted, which we have been able to do. We want to meet every them of face to face. By the close of play we will have met 900 of those individuals face by face and really understood that individual circumstances. From then on we can place them with a Training Provider so they can complete their apprenticeship and their full training and were looking for employers to come forward so they have employment and throughout that apprenticeship and thereafter so that they can join the Construction Industry. Charlie, you were on a carillion apprenticeship. Thats right. What were you doing, how did you find out what was going on. was doing a coventry apprenticeship. My on site assessor called, and all he said was that the end was nigh. Carillion trading had ceased. And that we would have to pack up within two weeks. You must have been gutted. Not really. Iwas in two weeks. You must have been gutted. Not really. I was in a state of shock, not severe shock but it did call into question whether the la st did call into question whether the last year and a half, two years of my life had been for nothing. And i would not have gained the qualification i had been working for. So you have been doing this for two years. One and a half to two years. Do you know what is going to happen now, have you been contacted by sarah steam. Happen now, have you been contacted by sarah s team. Yes, we had a meeting at the local holiday in yesterday, we went to various things, they have employers who are willing to take on apprentices and extra incentives are provided as they take on apprentices who have been laid off. Isjollys case is typical, sarah . Yes, it has been a worrying time for individuals who thought they had a careerjust round the corner. We hope to be able to minimise that worry and now these skills that charlie has and many of these apprentices, in bricklaying, carpentry and joinery, are massively in need in the Construction Industry. We all know we have hundreds of thousands of homes to build and lots of infrastructure projects. Im very hopeful that many of these apprentices, if not all of them, will find proper employment with a Good Employer and complete their apprenticeship. What about charlie wondering if the last year and a half of his life has been worth it, will he be able to transfer that year and a half to a new employer and get qualified . Absolutely, its not a waste at all. Everything they have done has been banked and well make sure they can continue with the apprenticeship. It is not about starting from scratch. Charlie and people in these occupations are much needed, so we need to help them as much as we can. Weve already had lots of employers of all sizes coming forward to offer employment to these people. Sarah, thank you for coming in. Charlie, best of luck. Thank you for speaking to us.

And Oxford University student who spent two and a half years under investigation for rape had his case dropped just two and a half days before going to court. Danny gilford is at crown court. This student was 19 and at Oxford University when he was arrested on suspicion of rape and indecent assault, that was in 2015, two and a half years ago. He was actually charged with the offences injune last year so it has taken some time to get to this point. A trial was due to take place on monday. The judge today has recorded formerly a verdict of not guilty against oliver mears because the prosecution has offered no evidence against him. The judge, jonathan black, ask the prosecution to explain why they had taken a decision, given the length of time in this case. The explanation was given by sarah ludoc by the prosecution, she said further material had been obtained in watches and was a finely balanced case. Additional material had tipped the balance. She was asked by the judge to explain what that material was. She talked about a diary containing sensitive material relating to the complainant. She talked about digital evidence as well. It appears, although she did not say this, that there was certainly some, possibly in criticism of the police for the length of time and had taken for this material to emerge some implicit criticism. At the end of the proceedings the judge said there we re the proceedings the judge said there were unnecessary delays in this case. He said oliver mears and the complainant had these matters hanging over their heads were two yea rs hanging over their heads were two years and demanded a full explanation from the head of the rape and Sexual Assault unit of the Crown Prosecution Service within 28 days. Thank you, danny. Next this morning the duke of cambridge sported a newly trimmed hairstyle when he visited a Childrens Hospital yesterday. The 35 year old heir to the throne revealed the close shaven style at the launch of an event where he met military veterans. Does he look better . With me is Errol Douglas hes an Award Winning celebrity hair stylist with clients including Lewis Hamilton and brad pitt. And in nottingham, spencer stevenson. Hes a leading hair loss mentor who has spent more than £a0,000 on his hair since he noticed it thinning in his 20s. Thank you both forjoining us. Errol, first of all, does Prince William look better with shorter hair. He looks amazing. What i like about his hair is the confidence. Before, he looked as if he was kind of cheating on his hair and now he looks really confident and i think he looks more handsome. From his body language he looks more confident . Hes holding himself, he looks more upright. When you have a hairstyle like that you will ask yourspouse hairstyle like that you will ask your spouse so i am sure he must have asked if it was looking good. He does look good. He almost looks taller as well. Let me bring your m, taller as well. Let me bring your in, spencer. £a0,000 is a huge amount of money to spend on your hair. Amount of money to spend on your ha i r. Clearly amount of money to spend on your hair. Clearly boarding for men is quite an emotional issue. It is a massive emotional issue. It dents your self esteem and confidence. Youre framing of your face, your identity, your hair is part of that so identity, your hair is part of that so if it is taken from you it can have emotional repercussions which can affect guys, old guys, younger guys, nobody wants to lose their hairat the end guys, nobody wants to lose their hair at the end of the day. You began losing your hair in your early 20s. Yes, at the age of 21. Im 42 now and tried various different treatments to start with, sadly the hair loss injury is a plethora of bogus treatments, likely in this day and age there are proven treatments that actually work. Ive had a combination of proven treatments and hair transplants, surgery is a last resort. If you want to take action against your hair loss, not everyone does, all power to Prince William, he does look a great deal better. But its certainly advisable to try that, if your hair is thinning, try to shape it and see what to look like. He is carrying it off. Itll be interesting to see if he continues to sport but hairstyle. He might growa continues to sport but hairstyle. He might grow a bit further. He certainly looks better and he looks younger in my opinion. Errol, are there certain hairstyles that are an absolute no no if you are boarding and others that you should embrace . Absolutely. It depends how much are you got at the sides. Certain men have more fullness and then have density on top. Thats why i can understand spending money on transplants. But at the end of the day it is getting your face and the line of your eyes balanced up. So if you balance it up it is good but if it looks like it is too long or youve got a ponytail or itjust looks odd, that tends to draw more attention to you. Like you are trying to distract attention from the fact that you are balding. Is the fact that you are balding. Is the only answer to embrace it and go short like Prince William has . You dont have to do an extreme, its just testing. I always say, try to grow your hair out and see what it looks like, if you buzz it off that is up to you but try different things. This is not a last resort, this is something he wants to do. And thats confidence in itself. If you want to spend money, remember i am in the head business, hairs about vanity. If you want to spend that money, great but and is confidence as well. Thats the big thing, it is how you feel as a person. Youve got some huge clients, brad pitt, Lewis Hamilton. Have you ever had to have an awkward conversation with somebody who has perhaps got a combover going on . Its not really my place if i am doing a makeover youll have to give as much advice as you can, that is the business i am in. If someone wants to keep their hair then they can keep it that the main thing is that it looks in proportion and doesnt look silly. Spencer. He looks great. It is clearly worked feel. is clearly worked feel. I intervened quite early, i had the same loss pattern as Prince William and just to reiterate, this is about self esteem. There is an element of vanity but its about wanting to better yourself. Nobody wants to lose their hair. Losing your hair, until you have experienced it its a difficult concept to comprehend. You ta ke difficult concept to comprehend. You take your hairfor difficult concept to comprehend. You take your hair for granted but it frames your face and gives you your identity. I have been fortunate through the processes and the trials, and now trials, and now i educate others to avoid those mistakes. But as you say it is hugely emotive for many men. I am sure many men watching will feel the same. Thank you both for coming in. Thank you for your comments on the tobu smashing comedy taboo smashing comedy featuring bollywood superstar akshay kumar on a surprising theme. Is about a man who invented something simple. He was a poor School Dropout in india but he changed the lives of millions of women across the world by inventing the machine to make cheap sanitary pads. Lets see a clip from the trailer. Icame i came across this story when i was researching a column for the times of india. I was completely fascinated. Here was a man from a very simple, conservative village, and he encountered a problem when he realised that his wife was using unhygienic rags. Really unhygienic. He said he wouldnt clean his bicycle with them. A normal man would say, if i cant afford these, let me earn some money to buy some for my wife. But Arunachalam Muruganantham is a very idiosyncratic character and he decided, why not just idiosyncratic character and he decided, why notjust make a cheaper bad. And he went ahead with it. His wife got fed up of testing his pads and he got fed up of waiting month after month because theres a gap, he has to wait a month every time, no other woman was willing to this out so he devised a contraption from a bladder that he filled with pig s blood, by keep it between his legs and he went cycling. He literally replicated having a period while on a bike. Yes, his bag leaked so he had blood on his pants and the people in his village a0 was a pervert or that he had a sexual disease. They thought he was a pervert. He told me some people even a0 was a vampire, secretly sucking blood from animals and women at night but he was ostracised, yet he persevered and made this machine. Lost his wife, it was ostracised from the village. His mother left him, he was abandoned, completely. But his sense of determination just pulled him through that entire time period and he succeeded. And then his wife came back, thank god with all this in mind how difficult was it for you to say, we will make this into a film, i need funding. Its really surprising but the biggest obstacle really surprising but the biggest o bsta cle in really surprising but the biggest obstacle in making the movie was to convince murugantham that i should be able to make it. He was not very interested because he is not a man who wants to be famous or who is interested in money, beyond the point. He lives a very simple life. When i visited his house we were sitting on the floor eating off ba na na leaves. Sitting on the floor eating off banana leaves. He was excited because he was getting a bed for his daughter and it was the first bed in his household. His philosophy is simple. He feels that we are a world of consumers, and necessary consumers, and if you are satisfied, if your chair is a bit broken and you can put a book underneath it and balance it, why not do that . So it wasnt difficult to go to a film company and make this into a huge feature film, pad man, talking about periods. Id already written the story in my book and when i went for funding we have is absolutely no problem with that. The only problem we had while filming, we had two junior artists on the set and we filmed with them on the first day, on the second day they had to hold sanitary pads and they run away. We had to shoot abortion again because they were mortified at holding and menstrual product. We had to shoot that portion again. How hard was it to get your husband on board, a bollywood superstar, presumably that will get more people to watch the movie. When we began i thought at first i would make a small arthouse film but then we thought the mission is to have as many people as possible watching it, across households and globally as well. And if indian people see one of their idols holding a sanitary pad then half the tabloids are dispelled right at that moment. Soon you will be able to see that film right across the uk. Lets watch the clip. Youre thinking im mad, but mad only becoming famous. Just a flavour of the film pad man, lots of people are getting in touch about this, once as my daughter was in India Working for a charity to bring awareness of periods to the girls, iwas bring awareness of periods to the girls, i was shocked at the level of shame there is attached to this biologicalfunction.
