Of young people around the world like coco. Its illegal to sell it to under 18s but she tells me that never stopped her or her friends. The older kids sell to the younger kids and lots of shops dont check id. You can just walk in there, you can even go in your uniform and theyll sell it to you. Were coming up here to the other vape shop, whichever gate the kids come out, theres a vape shop. Theres one just here. Like many mothers, Marnie Wilton is worried about how prevalent vaping has become. And this is the primary school, 60 metres away. She said new regulations which include keeping any new vape shops more than 900 feet from schools, failed to address the problem. Absolutely does not go far enough to help our children. The laws that the government announced, the new laws, do nothing to affect existing stores that are already built. Only a few weeks before the new rules were due to come into effect, another vape shop opened near local school. Parents took to the streets saying their children being protected. Pineapple ice is not targeting a person whos been smoking for 30 years. Vaughan couillault has witnessed first hand how schools have become the epicentre of vaping. A lot of which, he says, is targeted at youngsters. From a Product Marketing and trying to capture your market perspective, some genius work has gone on, but its not helping young people. It might be helping people get off smoking all good, carry on with that. But theres far too many young people that never would have even picked up or even thought about picking up a cigarette that have got two or three vapes in different pockets and different jackets. And thats just not cool. Neighbouring australia has taken a hardline approach, banning recreational vaping. Ben youdan says that new zealand, like the uk, is aiming for a more holistic method. Theres no doubt that our Smoking Rates have benefited hugely from Tens Of Thousands of people switching from smoking to vaping. Weve seen Smoking Rates drop a third here. We need to talk to kids around, vaping exists. Are you experimenting . How do you resist experimenting . What are the skills to say no to somebody trying to sell it to you in the street or encourage you to try it . And then we need to treat the kids who are showing signs of dependence. Its a tough balance to strike. Vaping may have started as a solution to smoking, but it has got its own uncontrollable problem. Shaimaa khalil, bbc news. That is the view from australia but now to news in the uk. Lets get more now on the news that messages encouraging smokers to quit could be added to the inside of Cigarette Packs under Draft Proposals being considered by the uk government. Warnings have been printed on the outside of boxes for 50 years but now ministers will consult on plans to go further. Deborah arnott is Chief Executive of Action On Smoking And Health a Public Health charity set up by the Royal College of physicians to end the harm caused by tobacco. Thank you forjoining us. First of all, your reaction to the latest consultation . We all, your reaction to the latest consultation . All, your reaction to the latest consultation . ~. ,. , consultation . We have been calling for Ack Consultation . We have been calling for pack inserts consultation . We have been calling for pack inserts to consultation . We have been calling for pack inserts to carry consultation . We have been calling for pack inserts to carry positive for pack inserts to carry positive messages about how to quit for almost as long as its been happening in canada and that started in 2000 so we are really pleased the government is consulting on this and that will go ahead, i am sure but it is only one step towards a smoke free 2030 which is the government ambition and we are way off track to getting there, it will be at least nine years later and maybe longer so we need other things and canada which had pack inserts into thiess and, last week announced its regulations to put warnings on cigarettes so we want to see that as well. We also want to see more investment in stop Smoking Services that help smokers quit. The funding has been cut by 45 since 2015 in real terms and that means not all smokers will have access to the best available help to quit because stop Smoking Services can increase your chance of success threefold. So theres lots of other things that need to happen. We need to seek mass media Behaviour Change campaigns that are used to see a decade or more ago. Funding for those has been cut by over 90 . We need more enforcement, government announced an extra 3 million for enforcement especially on vaping but Trading Standards have had staffing cut by more than 50 in recent years so theres a lot of other things government needs to do. This is a positive step forward and we really support the government doing it but they need to do more. Support the government doing it but they need to do more. Some may argue there are already they need to do more. Some may argue there are already these they need to do more. Some may argue there are already these horrific there are already these horrific pictures on the front of Cigarette Packets come up seen the number of smokers in the uk, at the lowest on record. Isnt enough already being done and ascended up to people now to make their own informed decision as to whether or not they want to smoke or not .

Is a Lifestyle Choice and people can make informed decisions as one in which the Tobacco Industry puts forward but they know themselves actually it is highly addictive and it is an addictive of childhood, most people start smoking as children. I mean, Smoking Rates have gone down and theyve gone down significantly but its not been because of information. In 1982 when we first started monitoring childrens Smoking Rates in england, 19 of children, nearly one in five aged 11 15 smoked, 2000 it was still 19 , its now 3 but thats because banning smoking in public places, banning smoking in public places, banning Advertising Promotion and sponsorship, because of the stop Smoking Services, because of all these other graphic warnings on the outside of the packs which can be enhanced by having the help to quit on the inside. You know, there are so many Different Things can be done and they are all part of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control features a comprehensive strategy to drive down smoking which now covers 90 of the world population, 182 countries. And its really important because at the moment, 80 of smokers live in low and middle Income Countries and many of them have not implemented all the measures they need and the problem is about stopping people from starting because the average age in africa for example, the median age is 18, in the uk it is a0 so theres things that need to be done in the uk but also things that need to be done worldwide to tackle smoking. Very interesting, deborah, thank you so much. Nhs england is set to change its cancer waiting time targets which have often been missed in recent years. Its thought nine Performance Standards will be reduced to three, with the aim Of Making Diagnosis and treatment timelines easier. Richard davidson is the Chief Executive of Cancer Charity sarcoma uk hejoins me now. Thank you forjoining us. Your response to these proposed changes. I think more must be done to reduce Waiting Times and most of the targets as you say have been routinely missed over the last few years so i think anything that focuses nhs england attention on targets that will benefit Patient Outcomes are to be welcomed.

Yes, i think more must be done, the prime i more must be done, the Prime Minister made cutting Waiting Times one of his key priorities which i welcome and that aspiring these changes have come about but we need to focus attention on things that matter the most which is getting patients, Sarcoma Patients and other Cancer Patients diagnosed as quickly as possible and that is why hopefully focusing attention on fewer targets will hopefully mean thatis fewer targets will hopefully mean that is more likely to happen. Because patients are worried and concerned and they need the sarcoma, the cancer diagnosed as quickly as possible so hopefully these changes will help result in that.

We were expecting the major condition strategy today. It is not quite what we wanted, we wanted a longer term plan to be focused on cancer specifically, we wanted it to be ambitious and fully funded and incorporate use and input from the Cancer Community but most especially patients but cutting these targets, i think, is a positive thing but it needs to be donein positive thing but it needs to be done in the round and we need investment across the board in terms of Cancer Services because much too often, cancer is left behind and particularly those rare cancers such as sarcoma. We do a National Sarcoma survey every five years and the last one showed almost one in three Sarcoma Patients waited over six months to be diagnosed on visiting a Health Care Professional with symptoms. Thats not good enough and does not compare well with other country so we need investment and we need a focus for the nhs but we need investment across the board including in workforce and up to date machinery.

Richard, thank you so much the government has defended its treatment of Asylum Seekers after questions were raised about when ministers knew about the presence of legionella on the Bibby Stolkholm barge. The Prime Minister rishi sunak remains under pressure over his stop the boats pledge after six migrants drowned while attempting to cross the channel over the weekend. The Home Office Figures show more than 500 people were detained or rescued trying to reach the uk from france on saturday. This report from nickjohnson. Stopping the boats. One of rishi sunak� s key priorities. But this weekend, the boats kept coming. More than 500 people crossed the channel on saturday, despite the death of six afghan men after their inflatable capsized off the french coast. And who knows who they are . Six that died. Im talking about. How long will it take that message to get back to get back to afghanistan . Are they men who supported the British Forces on operations during the War In Afghanistan . And is that why theyve had to flee the taliban . All those thoughts, of course, go through your mind. The warmer, calmer Weather Forecast over the coming days means crossings are set to continue, as does the likelihood of further tragedy. Unfortunately, it was going to happen some time and well have another one before long. All the time people are trying to cross the channel in these boats, which are not designed for the purpose. Then unfortunately things will go wrong. The labour party says people smugglers are running rings around the government. The government says increased patrols on French Beaches has meant fewer people are making the crossing. Further round the coast, the spotlight lingers on the governments migration policy. Asylum seekers who were aboard the Bibby Stockholm Barge In Dorset remain in alternative accommodation following the detection of Legionella Bacteria on the vessel. Dorset council now claims it told a Home Office Official about the results three days before migrants were brought back ashore. Government sources have previously said they knew of the results fewer than two days prior. Whether it be the number of Asylum Seekers crossing the channel or the conditions in which theyre housed when they arrive, politically, the forecast is choppy. Nickjohnson, bbc news. Live now to our Political Correspondent peter saull. Peterjoins us from westminster. We have seen migrants being removed from the barge but what are the plans to return them . From the barge but what are the plans to return them . Yes, not for several weeks. Plans to return them . Yes, not for severalweeks, i plans to return them .

Yes, not for several weeks, i am told but therej several weeks, i am told but there has been not necessarily a row but a difference in perception as to who is responsible for the issues to do with legionella on board the bibby stockholm. They were eventually some migrants moved on board last monday that followed weeks of delays really, the political pressure on the government to get that up and running. They got them on there but the local council, dorset council, told the contractor responsible for that vessel that there was legionella in the water supply. It took four days for those migrants to eventually be moved. In the meantime, the council says it told the home office on tuesday about the Legionella Problem. The home office says actually that was a Junior Member of staff who just happened to be on a call and they didnt get official notification until the wednesday. In the meantime, tests were being carried out by the uk Health Security agency, the home office saying they were the ones ultimately responsible and they didnt change their guidance as regards the potential risk of legionella until late on thursday evening so it wasnt until friday the migrants removed but this really is the flagship, as it were, of the policy the government has been trying to push to move people from hotels and into accommodation deemed less comfortable, really. And regardless of who is responsible for the Legionella Problem it feeds the perception that the government is pretty and confident with this particular policy. We pretty and confident with this particular policy. Pretty and confident with this particular policy. We are seeing this one disaster, particular policy. We are seeing this one disaster, shall particular policy. We are seeing this one disaster, shall we particular policy.

Brought into sharp focus by the deaths of a handful of migrants again on saturday. This is the real nub of the problem, stopping people from making the journey in the first place and actually the government last week at what it called a stop the boats we can make some announcements. It hoped there would be a positive coverage of those, one example of agreement with turkey to tackle the Smuggling Gangs at source but in the event, there was a series of quite negative headlines, the government will say we have stopped quite a lot of boats already but we cannot possibly stop everything and its a hugely complex issue. When they come to the uk, there is a big backlog of people in the Asylum System Waiting to have their claims processed. By rishi sunak and has been on holiday in california for the past ten days will have hoped there would have been some progress on all of this. People come back and find actually there are still some negative headlines about it. He has made this a central pledge to stop the boats by the time the general election comes around, yes, some signs of progress and agreement with the likes of albania which means people coming from that particular country have dropped a number but as the weather continues to improve over the next week or so there is an Expectation Crossings will be attempted.

From Driverless Cars to 3d printing, Artificial Intelligence has been transforming how we live our lives for a while now. But the bbc� s panorama has been investigating the potential risks and benefits the Ai Revolution is bringing, and Lara Lewington has been to the us, to see whether it could one day be capable of reading our minds. Hi, lara. Hi, good to meet you. Thank you for having us. Come on in. Thanks very much. Neuroscientist Alexander Huth has spent a decade trying to understand how the brain works. If we want to build intelligent machines, maybe we want to make things that act more like human brains. So thats kind of what got me into neuroscience. This year, his team had a breakthrough. Using Ai Technology that can understand language, theyve built a computer that can read minds. We scan peoples brains with an fmri scanner while theyjust listen to stories. So we track how their brains respond while theyre listening to hours and hours of stories. The team has trained the al on their own brains. As they listen to stories inside the scanner, the computer watches what happens. What sort of Brain Activity are you looking for . Were looking for Brain Activity thats related to specific ideas or specific words that appear in the stories. So, for example, whenever you hear somebody talk about parking a car, there are certain patterns of activity in the brain that will be present that reliably correspond to that kind of idea. And were trying to build up that mapping from this very large data set. The computer looks for patterns in the vast amounts of data from the scanner. With enough training, it can translate Brain Activity into words. So the lead scientist is listening to a story for us. The war of the worlds. Dramatic music. The martians in the pit had turned the heat ray on. A deep, throbbing sound, a silver pencil of light. And a narrow ribbon of bracken and grass and trees and houses stretching as far as the eye could see, was scorched. And this is the text that the ai created from the brain scan. In the decoded version, which misses a lot of things, but it gets some of the good stuff, fired the bullets out of the clip he had on him as he ran. And then i heard a huge crack as a large piece of concrete hit my forehead and then a giant ball of fire. The general idea of big noise, got hurt is there in both of them. Yeah. And then also the idea that something was on fire, the scorched versus a giant ball of fire, it captured all those things, but clearly not exactly the right words. So far, its only analysed the brains of a handful of volunteers whove all spent 16 hours being scanned. But they hope itll unlock the secrets of how our minds work. We are really pushing on and what a lot of our effort in the lab goes toward is using this to actually understand the brain better. Thats our scientific goal. In the end, we want to know how does the brain work . How do our brains process language . How do we understand ideas . How do we think . Sounds great, but what happens if it ends up in the wrong hands . Some people are scared or think that the Thought Police is coming. I think its a fair reaction to this to say, like, this is scary, i dont want this to happen. That was kind of our reaction too, like, the first thing that we thought when we got this working was like, this is fantastic, its working. And then like, oh my god, this is working. Are the thought place coming . Are the thought Police Coming . Not yet. None of the Current Technologies that we have would be effective at actually policing peoples thoughts. When gill castle had to be fitted with a stoma bag, following a traumatic birth, she was determined to show her son that it wouldnt stop her from achieving anything in her life. She is now attempting to become the first person with a Colostomy Pouch to swim the channel. And alongside herfamily, shes Got A Famous Fan Cheering her on, as Alison Freeman discovered when she went to see her in training. Gill is unstoppable. Here we are at ben nevis. Everyone should do this. Whoa flip 12 years ago, she was so badly injured during the birth of her son that she had to have a stoma fitted. It diverts her bowel to a bag on her abdomen. But in just over a weeks time, shes aiming to become the first woman with a stoma to swim the channel. Theres a lot of people with stomas, are really, really fearful to be active and to go out there and to do things. They think theyre going to bejudged by people, particularly swimming. A lot of people wont go to their local pool. And this is kind of like my really in your face way of saying, if i can swim the channel, you can go to your local pool. But really, ultimately, my everything is to show my son that his birth didnt ruin my life. Times were tough for gill at first. She found it hard to manage her stoma, her Mental Health suffered, and she was no longer able to keep working as a police officer. Gill also felt frustrated by the lack of support available to her. People didnt really know what to do with me. People kept saying, youre really unique, which is not what you want to hear because you want you want to feel safe and looked after and that people know what theyre doing. So i was sort of left really for years to try and sort it out myself. It sounds quite lonely. Yeah, it was really lonely, yeah, it was really lonely. And the problem is when you have a baby and things go a bit wrong with your body, for a lot of people, theres a lot of shame about that. Me personally, ive never had any shame about what happened to me because at the end of the day, its not my fault. But nobody talks about the fact that things go wrong. So when i did come out in public, i was flooded with contact from other mums saying, wow, im so pleased that somebody is actually speaking out. And i guess this is why i do what i do. Gills efforts to raise awareness and understanding of people fitted with stomas has led to a friendship with the artist tracey emin. She had one fitted after surgery for bladder cancer. When i found out i had to have the ostomy stoma, i said, no, i dont want it, i said to my surgeon, no, im not having it. Anything, anything but that. He said, well, there is one other option. Iwent, right, ill take it. I dont care what it is, ill take it. Ill have that. He said you wont like it. I said, i dont care. He said, its death. And i said, you know what . Ill take the bag. The fact that you swim, do eight mile swims and all this kind of thing, and its a major inspiration for anybody that has a stoma or anybody that has a disability. And so i would just already congratulate you on that. And whether you do that bloody swim or not, you will still get 100 of the money that im going to sponsor you with. So there you go. I dont even know what to say also cheering gill on are her parents wholl be watching her progress from their home in northumberland via a tracker. Theyre obviously proud of her achievements. I must admit, at the beginning, also, i really didnt understand what was happening either. And i dont think gillian did. And to overcome that really through her own strength of will and determination is amazing. But it was devastating. I shall sit up all night to watch, see what happens, you know. He sat up all night to watch the moon landing, so its on par with the moon landing. Oh, yes, i did i saw the moon landing, wont say landing, first step on the moon, then i went straight to bed. I said, thats it. History has been made. So when gill puts her feet on french soil, thatll be a moment of history for you as well. Yes, definitely, definitely. When i spoke to your mum and dad a moment ago, your dad said it was as important as man stepping foot on the moon. Are you feeling the pressure a little bit here . I do but really, the channel now isnt as important as the journey that ive already been on and taken other people on with me. You know, ive already shown people that you can swim for six hours in the sea with a stoma. Ive got a lot of attention already on birth trauma, on childbirth injuries, so really, in many ways, myjobs kind of already done. And getting to france will be the icing on the cake. Im ready. Bring it on Alison Freeman, bbc news, northumberland. What an inspirational woman now its time for a look at the weather with carol. Hello again. As we go through this week, the weather is certainly going to be mixed. Were starting off of the week with a low pressure in charge so weve got some Heavy Rain Pushing Northwards and eastwards, on either side of that, sunshine and showers, but High Pressure will start to build across us from tomorrow, so, turning drier and brighter with some sunshine and warming up for a time, particularly so as we head towards the latter part of the week. But this is the low pressure that is driving our weather currently, Pushing Northwards and eastwards, it will bring some heavy and persistent rain across north wales and Northern England through the afternoon, potentially clipping southern scotland. But for scotland and Northern Ireland generally it is sunshine and showers and behind that rain, bright spells of sunshine and some showers. Temperatures 15 in the north to 2a in the south. Heading through the evening and overnight the low pressure pulls away into the north sea, taking the rain with it, leaving us with a largely dry night with a few showers started around, not particularly cold, 11 being the overnight low in lerwick to about 12 1a across parts of england and wales. So, there goes the low pressure tomorrow, allowing this ridge of High Pressure to build across us, settling things down. So, a lot of dry weather, there will be some scattered showers developing during the day but they will be hit and miss, many of us will miss them altogether and temperature wise, were looking at about 15 in the north to 23 further south, but feeling much better across Northern England and north wales compared to today moving from tuesday into wednesday, High Pressure becomes ensconced across us, we are in between two areas of low pressure, so we start off on a misty note with one or two showers but under the influence of High Pressure, things will remain fairly settled, a lot of dry weather, some lengthy sunny spells and a little bit warmer in the south as well, we could reach 2a 25, further north, 15 20. Then heading towards thursday we are just about clinging onto that area of High Pressure but we are in between areas of high and low pressure and we are going to be sucking up this warmer air from the near continent across our shores. So on thursday a lot of dry weather around, a fair bit of sunshine and warmer, but on friday, later, we will see rain coming into the south west. Live from london. This is bbc news.
