Our correspondent Karishma Vaswani is in kuala lumpur, and earlier she sent this update on the investigation. The investigation has been extremely fluid, with information changing pretty much by the hour. But this is what we do know.

She was arrested alone and they didnt say where she was detained. What we understand is that she was identified from the Closed Circuit Camera Footage taken from the scene of the crime. This is the second arrest in this investigation so far, but three days on from the death of the man believed to be kim jong nam at kuala lumpur airport, there is still very Little Information about why he was killed or whether it was kim jong nam at all. In fact, im standing right in front of the Kuala Lumpur Hospital where the body was brought for a postmortem investigation. Remember, Malaysian Police have said that until that investigation is completed, they cant confirm the identity of the man who died at the airport on monday, or what caused the death. Now we have been told that the postmortem has been completed but the results of that investigation have yet to be released. Lets go live now to seoul in south korea, and our correspondent kevin kim.

Everyone is captivated by the story in its intrigue. Thanks very much, kevin. Ben is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. More than three Million People could avoid getting colds and flu every year by taking Vitamin D Supplements according to new research. The study in the British Medical Journal calls for the vitamin to be added to food. But Public Health england says the evidence remains inconclusive. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. This is what Vitamin D Deficiency can look like. Softened bones bowing under the weight of the body. In children, it can cause rickets. Now researchers say vitamin d can have other benefits apart from strengthening bones. They argue that if everyone got enough vitamin d there would be a 10 reduction in the risk of respiratory illnesses like coughs, colds and flu. Among those with the very lowest levels of vitamin d, the benefit is even greater a 50 reduction. And across the whole uk population, that would equate to more than 3 Million People avoiding a cold orflu each year. At present, people are being asked to take supplements in order to meet their Vitamin D Requirement over winter and spring, but its expensive and a lot of people wont remember able to take or remember to take supplements daily. So a more effective strategy is to introduce Food Fortification into the food chain. Sunlight on the skin is the best source of vitamin d but the increased use of sunscreen, and our weather, means exposure in the uk is limited. We are already advised to take vitamin d throughout the winter and spring months to boost our levels. It can also be found in some foods, like oily fish, eggs and cereals, and the us and finland add vitamin d as a supplement to food. But some scientists here are not convinced theres enough evidence that vitamin d can prevent other illnesses to justify following suit. Dominic hughes, bbc news.

Social care for elderly people is on the brink of collapse in some parts of england, according to the charity age uk. It says more than 50,000 people are now not receiving any help, despite struggling with essential daily tasks such as washing, eating and getting out of bed. Our Health Correspondent Sophie Hutchinson reports. Push thats it. For ten years, elaine yates has cared for her husband. They managed to get some social care. But elaine, who runs a Support Group for carers, says its much harder now. When Michael First came into the system, it was a lot easier, because we had our own care manager who grew to know us and could help support us in what we needed. Today, people coming into the system, they dont get that kind of support, they dont get their own care manager. Todays report from age uk says that since 2010, that has been a rise of 50 in the amount of elderly people who dont get the help they need. The charitys particularly concerned with the more than 50,000 people who struggle with three or more of these activities, and receive no support at all. While social care is run in different ways across the uk, cuts have meant councils in england have had to reduce the amount spent on social care.

Because every day we have an ageing population and more people over 85 in particular who need care. The government says it recognises the pressures on the system and is working on a sustainable solution. Theres now a growing Expectation A Rescue Package may be included in the budget next month.

Some of the things that were said risked undermining the judiciary, and unfairly undermining the judiciary. And therefore, undermining the rule of law.

Now weve heard of birds, or even drones, being a danger to planes, but now pilots may also have to look out for deer. Pilots are taught to watch out for many dangers during take off, birds, and drones as we said. But one flight in North Carolina had another experience. This plane was taking off from charlotte in North Carolina when it struck a deer on the runway and was forced to make an emergency landing. The Surprise Impact damaged one of the wings and caused a fuel leakage, which saw Emergency Services spraying foam on the plane as a precaution. No injuries were reported among those on board, we suspect the deer was probably not so lucky. 0h, oh, dear. That is a summary of the latest bbc news, more from me later. I thought we might see the deer, but thankfully, we didnt. Let me bring you some comments on the menopause. We will talk about it later. Is it a taboo .

Hugh, nota hugh, not a very good night for arsenal, i guess that puts it mildly . Yes, that is putting it mildly. It is an embarrassment of Epic Proportions for Arsene Wenger and his team. Former players, pundit, fans seem to be reaching a universal view it has been a good journey but the wheels have come off and it is time for a change at arsenal. They have been knocked out at the last 16 stage of the Champions League in the last six seasons. Champions league in the last six seasons. After a huge 5 1 defeat last night it looks set to be another early exit. Amazingly sanchezs equaliser meant things we re sanchezs equaliser meant things were level at half time, there was a Brief Glimmer of hope for the fans but they were torn apart and the capitulation compounds the pressure on the boss Arsene Wenger, he is underfire, a on the boss Arsene Wenger, he is under fire, a promising on the boss Arsene Wenger, he is underfire, a promising title challenge faltered early on, no Premier League title for 12 years and lack of character was put into stark contrast, against that of the bayern team. Arsenal looking lost following an injury to their captain. The goalkeeper making a few great saves. That prevented things from being worse. It is the same old story for fa ns from being worse. It is the same old story for fans of the gunners and with the managers contract coming to an end in a few months time the out calls will grow louder. After he spoke briefly to the media. The real problems we faced was after the third goal, ifelt, because we lost oui third goal, ifelt, because we lost our organisation, and we looked mentally veryjaded, our organisation, and we looked mentally very jaded, and our organisation, and we looked mentally veryjaded, and very vulnerable from that mentally veryjaded, and very vulne is le from that mentally veryjaded, and very vulne is highlighted mentally veryjaded, and very vulne is highlighted when cosh any. Which is highlighted when cosh any. They are a laughing stork, you have a manager who has lost his leadership skill, there is no ince vincible streak in the team any more 01 vincible streak in the team any more or the manager. That view was reflected in the newspapers, the sun say bay bye arsene. They are called spineless in the mail. The pressure grows on wenger and that sums it up. Groundhog day for the arsenal fan, we will wait and see whether Arsene Wenger is given a new contract and more time at the club. We will see. We will. Thank you. Thank you. The menopause is something that happens to all women so why dont we talk about it more . And whats the best way to deal with the side effects that so many women experience . A new documentary by Newsnight Presenter Kirsty Wark Which airs tonight takes an unflinching look at everything to do with the menopause and asks whether women have been needlessly denied Hormone Replacement Therapy for years. There is something about the word that has negative connotations of ages which in our youth obsessed culture can be debilitating. We are living longer, working longer and menopause is a feature of midlife, it is the start of a new chapter so why the taboo. It really is time for a change. So sadly, our ovaries are only designed to last a certain number of year, we produce egg cells up to the late 40, early 50s and by the age of 51 on average women are stopping having periods and the reason they stop is because we run out of egg cells but the complicated thing is we live for many years beyond that. So, when our ovaries are not,ing, the key hormone we stop producing is oestrogen, rather than it being period stops it is about the consequences of lack of oestrogen. There are many aspects that women can be embarrassed to talk about. I thought it would be interesting to see if i could encourage them to open up on radio. Cani open up on radio. Can i ask how good was it for you . Not great. No great. Medically induced hysterectomy. Hrt for three yea rs induced hysterectomy. Hrt for three years and then came the big boom scare, and suddenly, hrt was taboo andi scare, and suddenly, hrt was taboo and i came off it, and actually, my symptoms have not really gone away in the last ten years. What about you . I dont seem to have been affected, sorry, because i know that i annoy people. That is great. You are not. Virtually 10096 i annoy people. That is great. You are not. Virtually 100 will experience some symptoms. Are not. Virtually 100 will experience some symptomslj are not. Virtually 100 will experience some symptoms. I do stick my leg out the bed at night. Hot flushes. That is a symptom, even if it is only one leg. It is only one leg. It would affect your euro genital symptoms. Dryness down below, loss of libido. Look, people dont want to talk about that stuff with their doctors even. What you wa nt with their doctors even. What you want to hear from people. You get what you ant because we have lots of them. Let us speak to nan. Good morning. How are you this morning . 0k morning. How are you this morning . Ok but i have had a horrible, horrible night with hot flushes. Does it affect you every fight . Every single night. What i would like to ask is, i am 78, am i too old to go back on to hrt . You may wa nt to old to go back on to hrt . You may want to consider other options which can be helpful to control hot flushes which we sometimes use for ladies who are not so suitable for hrt. The most common treatment for menopausal symptoms is Hormone Replacement Therapy. Hrt. Which helps replace the Oestrogen Lost when our ovaries stop producing eggs. It can be taken via patches or as a gel or tablets. But it has been heart to work out if it is wise to take it. This is due to the confusion ignited by the publication of the Womens Health Initiative Study in america, back in 2002. The study casts serious doubts on the safety of hrt. So 2002, hrt study. Cancelled over cancer and stroke fear, the guardian hrt linked to Breast Cancer n the male it does more harm than good. New Cancerfear For women taking hrt, then it is more harm than good. New Cancerfear Fo suggest taking hrt, then it is more harm than good. New Cancerfear Fo suggest it. Ling hrt, then it is more harm than good. New Cancerfear Fo suggest it. Its hrt, then it is more harm than good. New Cancerfear Fo suggest it. Its a rt, then it is more harm than good. New Cancerfear Fo suggest it. Its a vicious n it is to suggest it. Its a vicious circle. Yes. Subsequent research suggested that the analysis of the data was flawed. That the findings we re data was flawed. That the findings were overstated. But these more positive reappraisal received nothing like the same publicity as the original scare. More up to date researchers attempted to offer clarification of the risks involved. So let us look at this. Back when she was in her 30sjennifer spawned sear was writing about the funny side of it. Did you go hospital . Yes and the gynaecologist. Side of it. Did you go hospital . Yes and the gynaecologistlj side of it. Did you go hospital . Yes and the gynaecologist. I hate them, and the gynaecologist. I hate them, a man who can look you in the vagina but never in the eye. I used that about four times. Times. Patsy has ohs borrow sips. She has the lowest bone denty on record. She isjust bone denty on record. She is just gristle clinging on the bone powder. This is what happens when you have the menopause. No no no good. You look at that no. I know. Little did i know it was all going to happen. Yours was a particular kind of menopause, what happened . Was, i got Breast Cancer, and soi happened . Was, i got Breast Cancer, and so i wasnt menopausal, i was still having periods, but second year of chemotherapy, all your periods stop, and so you plunged into it. Because you are so full of chemicals you have no idea. It is like the tiniest thing. Compared to everything else. So by the time you have got over the chemicals and you are on tamoxifen which gets rid of your oestrogen, you cant tell the difference, you know know what is coming out of chemo and what is menopause, and it wasnt until i think about a year after, that i started to feel like, this isnt, this doesnt feel right. This feels different. It changes your metabolism, you energy levels, your skin, your hair, everything. I mean it was quite astonishing. How did you deal with it . It was quite astonishing. How did you dealwith it . I dont it was quite astonishing. How did you deal with it . I dont know. It was quite astonishing. How did you dealwith it . I dont know. I drank no. I had a large glass of champagne. And got on with it. I think you get on with it. One of what are your 1i78 toms now . Mine are night sweats and bad sleep patterns. I have had a good, i am very good at sleeping. Lucky you. I am very good at sleeping, but the first time i had a hot sweat, it did ta ke first time i had a hot sweat, it did take my by surprise, i kept going, whats that. What am i sitting on . Ami whats that. What am i sitting on . Am i sitting, it felt like sitting ona am i sitting, it felt like sitting on a radiator. I was looking round going is everyone else . No, they are not, they are not hot like me. Do you feel different postmenopausele as to how you were before . Is that tied up in the Breast Cancer . No, i dont really think about the Breast Cancer. But i think, yes, i think, it happens and all of the things i used to make jokes about are so true. You know, just your place in the world and how you feel about yourself, your general feeling the world and how you feel about yourself, your generalfeeling of sexiness and libido, and, and. It is an indefinable something that you dont have any more. But for me i feel, i feel completely able to do what i want to do. In in years past women have often been written off after a certain age when work and child rearing are at an end. But in the early 21st century, when the average Life Expectancy for women is now 81, how can we best approach this next stage . Later in the programme, we will be joined by kirstie and group of other women to talk about their experiences and sheila has tweeted to say i am 72. I have night sweats every two hours every night. Hence sleep disturbed every night. Doctors responses have been unhelpful. Laura says i had a pretty easy menopause, i read somewhere that sweet potato and so i read somewhere that sweet potato and so i helped so maybe that did help. I did have hot flushes, sometimes was a bit dippy, finding any good was a nightmare and most women were on denial. Knew people on hrt but whip they came have been unhelpful.

Britains youngest ever Lottery Winner says she thought her Million Pound win would make her life ten times better. Instead, she says, its made it ten times worse. Jane parks was just 17 and living with her mum in a two bedroom flat in edinburgh when she scooped the Euromillions Prize 4 years ago. She says shes felt overwhelmed by the win and thinks her life would have been so much better without it. After winning in 2013, a documentary was made which followed her first year as a millionaire. Heres an extract. It could have been anybody. It couldve been any of these people. But on 28thjuly, 2013, i was the lucky one. I was standing outside the shop, so i went back in. And then ijust asked for a lucky dip. Its lucky shop me and none of my pals buy lottery tickets, so. That was my first time. Ok, thats coming up, that one. Congratulations, £1 million. Are you joking me . No, i can see it here on the screen. Youve won. Then they wanted me to go to like new york and just go shopping. I wouldve gone mental. Whereas were like, lets put some Money In The Bank and invest it. No, iwould have it spent before thinking. Im so bad. They wouldnt care about the future. They would be like, right, lets just spend it while were young. 16 . I mean, 16 . And theyre giving them £1 million . Thats like giving somebody a gun, eh . She was sitting here, where im sitting now, crying. It was too much stress for her. Money cant buy happiness, but it can buy a jet ski and have you ever seen someone being sad on a jet ski . Money cant bring you, like, love and that. It cant buy you friends. Like, true friends, it cant buy you true friends. It couldnt buy you a family. But it does bring a certain degree of happiness. Im delighted to say that jane is with us now. I know you were finding that uncomfortable, because that was a few years ago, and you were really young, 17, and handed £1 million. You say that money cant buy you happiness, but it can buy you a jet skiand happiness, but it can buy you a jet ski and who has been unhappy on a jet ski . Did you feel differently about the whim at that stage . Watching it back, ifeel completely different. At that stage, it was all about what you could suddenly have, what had opened up for you, i guess . You had this money, pretty much for whatever you wanted to get. Looking at that, i thought my worries were gone. I thought it was going to be amazing. What did you spend the money on . I have got property, and i have been out there with some of it, buy a nice things for myself and my family. But there comes a point when you need to invest it as well. You have taken sensible decisions, you still have something to show for it. Do you know how much you have spent on things that do go away, but leave you with memories, things like holidays . I wouldnt speak about figures or anything. It is a bit tacky, but i am comfortable just now. Anything. It is a bit tacky, but i am comfortablejust now. I uncomfortable. I am comfortable. I dont need a job or anything. But you are not happy, you feel the money hasnt made you happy, it has made you unhappy . I wouldnt say it has completely ruined my life, what i am trying to say is that, at times, i felt like i had ruined my life when i was 17. Now, i think everyone gets days where they feel worse than on other days. My worst days are normally Money Situations or money related. And sometimes, i get these feelings, and think and sometimes, i get these feelings, and think i wish i had never even won it. For many, money related bad days are because they dont have enough of it, but for you it is because you have got to much, what is it . Looking back, it was a ridiculous amount to have at such a young age. I had no guidance, iwasjust, like, wow, i was everywhere. Obviously, as i have got older, it has been more structured. So i still have money problems, but not the same. Explain what you mean about money problems. Maybe other folks have money problems, rather than mine in particular, but like, so maybe, so. Ifa particular, but like, so maybe, so. If a friend or family particular, but like, so maybe, so. If a Friend Orfamily member is having a money difficulty, i can find it really difficult. Every time someone in my family or my friends are having money difficulties, it is my position to say that i can sort you out, or is it. . It is stressful. Do i say, sort yourself out . Do you think people expect you to help them out . That is the expectation. The expectation to say, here, i will sort you out. You said that you didnt have much support after the win. Camelot said you had extensive support from them and a dedicated winner s adviser visited you at home to pay out the price, arrange private banking, sort out publicity, and an independent financial legal team was set up to manage the money. When you are 17, i guess, do you actually listen to advice . Do you feel that you know who you are and what you want to do . Ididnt who you are and what you want to do . I didnt understand what they were talking about. On numerous occasions, i said talking about. On numerous occasions, isaid i talking about. On numerous occasions, i said i didnt understand it, speaking in front of Financial Advisers about bonds, i saidi Financial Advisers about bonds, i said i didnt understand it. It is not about the support at the start, because it is fine to say they will help at the start, but further on, im just glad i had my family to keep me straight and narrow, otherwise i could see how easily. Do you actually think you shouldnt have won the money . On days, when i have a good day, i wouldnt change anything. But there are days when, in my head, i say, i wish i hadnt won it. What do you miss about your old life . I wish i didnt have the stress at such a young age and the pressure on me all the time. You could just give it all away . Everyone has said that to me. What people dont understand is that ido what people dont understand is that i do have property, i dont have all this cash lying in my account that i spend every day in life. I am on a budget as well, and i do put money away. One day, i want a family, and someone in my family might need that or be dependent, do you know what i mean . I need to secure a future as well to secure my family as well. You mentioned the pressures you feel from people around you that are struggling, and you feel there is an obligation to help, and you struggle with that, how have your relationships with friends and families been affected . To be fair, my friends and family have been really good. Ive kept the same friends the whole time. My family have been so supportive. I wouldnt have had it any other way, with my family members, because it could have gone horribly wrong. There will be people watching, thinking, why would you even ever have a bad day when you have got lots of money, what would you say to that . When i had first won, i was thinking that as well. I would never be upset, always having money, i was thinking that nothing could bring me down, because i could go shopping. But until i was in the situation, i cant even express to someone how young my imagination was at 17, and how immature i was, looking back, andi how immature i was, looking back, and i cant express to someone how it feels unless someone has been in that situation. The people i have spoken to, they have been in that situation and they agree with me. People at home struggling with money right now might feel cross at the tv, saying they would love to have the problem of too much money. Thats not actually my main point, because before i won the money, i was struggling to make ends meet, andi was struggling to make ends meet, and i was in the same situation as them, working in an officejob, to pay my mum. I was in the same environment. I am trying to say is now their is no help for young people coming into money theres no help. I just people coming into money theres no help. Ijust think 17 is too young. You are really eloquently making the point about the fact that you are very young, a huge amount of money given in an environment where everybody around you is in a different boat. It puts you into quite a different category. And you said about people not really understanding, how difficult is that ina understanding, how difficult is that in a situation where you feel the people around you dont understand what you are experiencing and feeling . It can be difficult. Sometimes, you dont understand it. I have got to say to people sometimes, give them examples, and tell them to look from my perspective, Put Yourself In My Shoes and think about it. Sometimes i feel like shoes and think about it. Sometimes ifeel like some shoes and think about it. Sometimes i feel like some folks dont understand and they have got it easy. People can look at me and think staff. The stuff behind it all, it does cause stress. What would you have done if you hadnt had a lottery win . Everybody asks me that. I think i would have worked in an office type ofjob, ora would have worked in an office type ofjob, or a retail work. Would have worked in an office type ofjob, ora retailwork. My life would be completely different, anyway. Im not sure. What do you think the rest of your life will be like . Do you want a job . |j think the rest of your life will be like . Do you want a job . I havent got anything against getting a job. When i did get a job recently, not recently, but within my win, i got a job and recently, but within my win, i got a job and i got a backlash from it because some folks were saying i didnt deserve a job.

Thank you for coming in. Parents of children with Cystic Fibrosis fined for taking their kids out of school during term time. The controversial practice now being criticized by a charity and the parents who will have to pay the penalty. Many people who struggle with essential daily tasks such as getting out of bed and eating are not getting the care they need, according to age uk. The charity says a crisis in social Care Provision means more than a million elderly and Vulnerable People in england are not receiving the help they need. Its a familiar story and the effects are well documented more pressure on Hospital Beds and family members, struggling to cope. We keep hearing were on the brink of a social care crisis, we can now speak to Susan Donnelly who only received the social care she was entitled to when she sent a legal letter to her local authority from a solicitor. Chris maughns father had to apply twice to get care despite being so ill he was incapacitated. Lynne nobel, who applied for social care in 2015 and despite Social Workers and an Ombudsman Ruling in herfavour she should receive care, there still has been no action by her local authority. Shes joined by her husband and carer michael. Here to make sense of this all is the director of united for all ages, stephen burke. Thank you all very much forjoining us. Lynn, i want to start can you, you applied for social care more than a year ago and you still havent got it. What was your situation, why do you need the care . Well it. What was your situation, why do you need the care . Well i have a number of conditions, i have ms, i have left sided Cerebral Palsy s i had Head Injuries from a road rafik accident when i was 22, and road traffic. I have a lot of physical problems and Cognitive Processing Problems and Cognitive Processing Problems as well. So i applied in 2015 and i am 12i8 waiting. What has the process being like . M 2015 and i am 12i8 waiting. What has the process being like . It has been horrendous, there there have been horrendous, there there have been delay, more delay, i have instigated so many stage one complaints and taken it through and iam complaints and taken it through and i am still waiting. It, you would need a lot of stamina basically and need a lot of stamina basically and need to know your way round the system to be able to navigate it. And hopefully at the end of it get something, i am sure that many thousands of people are put off the whole process. As things stand you presumably still dont know if or when you might get help . No. I dont know. There is another complaint has gone into my local authority and i am waiting to hear from them. And michael, in the meantime, it puts you under pressure because you are lynns career, what is it like . Its very difficult basically, you just have tojust keep plugging on, you know, plodding on basically, carrying on, because the, you never know when basically you are going to get help frommure local authority, and you just have tojuggle things and you just have tojuggle things and do your best basically. Chris, you had a big struggle trying to get funding for help for your 80 year old dad. Tell us more about him, what help he needed . Dads suffers with parkinsons disease, and we, he ended up in a rehab unit, and we, he ended up in a rehab unit, and that is where we came across continuing health care assessments. And the assessment was done by the nursing team, and the occupational therapist, and they basically told us asa therapist, and they basically told us as a family, your dads not going to qualify, he doesnt meet the criteria but we will have a family meeting, and please feel free to say any objections you have got, in our assessments, findings, which when we did, we were basicallyjust told no, no, that is not correct, your dad can do stuff for himself, and we had to make the, the very hard decision to make the, the very hard decision to put my dad placed into 24 hours residential care, and eu on your own, if you dont receive funding, you have to go and find a care home yourself. And that is, that is stressful, you dont know, you have to knock on doors, and find these ca re to knock on doors, and find these care home, which i did find a fantastic care home for my dad called the lilacs did you give up on the whole social care thing because you felt you werent getting anywhere . Yes, dad count come back to our house, because we knew we wouldnt be able to cope. We were told we could only have four visits a day. Thanks chris, i want to bring in susan, because susan, you got social care but only after you turned to a lawyer for help, tell us what happened with you. Basically what happened with you. Basically what happened, under legislation you are supposed to be assessed every year, for four year, i are supposed to be assessed every year, forfouryear, i kept complaining, i phoned up, still didnt get no joy. Coplain because you hadnt had the annual assessment. That right. What was the situation in the meantime . assessment. That right. What was the situation in the meantime . I was getting 18 hours care. You needed more. What did you need getting 18 hours care. You needed more. What did you need i had further Health Issues that came up and it was an ongoing battle and i was struggling. For four years you needed more than 18 hours and you werent getting the assessment, what happened . I approached a solicitor, and it was taken out of my hands then, then they decided to come and down, and it was one of the senior managers that came to to the assessment and my care package went up assessment and my care package went up from 18 and a half hours to 30. But what a lot of people dont understand, i have actually made some notes, just to. If you dont mind we wont have time to go through them but in a nutshell . When people talk about a care package they dont realise that there is a catch hole in it, because they give you a timescale, you might have ten minutes to get someone in the shower. You know, you have health and safety issues the pressure is is put on the irkaer to make sure that you are safe, that there is no issues, and it, itjust doesnt work out like that a all, you know, how can you time if i. I hear what you are saying, let us bring in steven burke because he has the overall picture, how often is it happening that people need help and theyjust, either not been given assessments or the whole process is taking a frustratingly long time . We heard some very real examples of the care crisis . The country, and as age uk say1. 2 crisis . The country, and as age uk say 1. 2 old emillion older people are missing out. The whole system is confeudsing, very complex, people dont know where to turn to for help. The local authorities are meant to provide assessments for peoples needs, they are also meant to assess the needs of Family Carers as well. But many People Struggle to get those basic rights, the basic assessments and it is a real postcode lottery. It depends on where you live and your local authority. Underlying this it is about funding. We have a big shortfall in funding, big cuts in social care funding over the last six years, while demand is increasing. People are living longer. But it is, obviously there are two longer. But it is, obviously there a re two parts longer. But it is, obviously there are two parts of the same issue, it is different in that even if there was all the money in the world, to be funding it. If people are struggling to navigate a complex system, they are still not getting help when they need it, whether the money is there or not. The system could be made easier, there are people to help you through it and you can approach some of the National Charities like age uk or independence age or your local age uk can provide you with advice and information but we need to make it simpler, some of the carers Charities Help provide. simpler, some of the carers Charities Help provide. I want to get to the bottom of why it is complex. It is necessarily complex because people, very careful assessments have to be made to work out who is eligible for what, and that takes some time, but where does the complexity come in that might be able to be stripped out, if that is case . We need to make it easier for people to approach their local authority, but the other part is local authorities are becoming more defensive and increasing the gate keeping because they dont have the resources to meet the needs of people approaching them. So older people approaching them. So older people need to challenge that, their families need to challenge that, they needed a cats to help them challenge it and in some cases legal challenges. So are you saying that some authorities deliberately are using the complicated system to get out of having to pay for social care . Yes, there is no question about that. Local authorities should be providing assessments for eve ryo ne be providing assessments for everyone who approaches them and providing advice and information to them. Lynn, you were nodding at that, i mean obviously we dont know what your situation is with your local authority but you are frustrated by what is happening for you. I want to read an e mailfrom charles who say i am 86 and a career to my disabled wife. We have no living relatives. We have one good neighbour, we had a Social Worker who was lovely. She looked after frances when i was in hospital, visited me and took her own christmas dinner to traps is when i was in over one christmas, the fact, lynn, to you as well michael, the fa ct lynn, to you as well michael, the fact you have got each other, the fa ct fact you have got each other, the fact that michael is there, do you feel that that, i mean it not right to say it would be, it is sort of gives you a safety net, does that sort of, do you think that might be a factor in when things are taking time, you know, there is somebody there who is helping you at least . Well, michael has his own Health Issues which havent been taken into consideration. And basically, i came out of hospital on 13th september, after a nine hour operation, and the day before, Social Services a p pa re ntly day before, Social Services apparently sent me a letter, saying that they had withdrawn my allocation to my Social Worker and allocation to my Social Worker and all my services had been refused and once i had recuperated, after this operation, which was neatly followed bya operation, which was neatly followed by a bilateral pneumonia, i could apply again. And michael was working 24 hours round the clock, i couldnt do anything for myself. I couldnt etch access the bed for three weeks, michael had to sleep on a two Seater Settee and i on a three Seater Settee, purely because i couldnt get into the bed. I couldnt do anything, dress, anything. Do you feel like you can carry on like this . Well, no. No we cant, no. No. There is a limit. To what you can cope with. You were very tired. Michael was very tired. Working 24 hours, seven days a week is, is not good for anybody, especially not for somebody who is nearly 72 and has, asi somebody who is nearly 72 and has, as i say, his own Health Issues any way. Sure, what will you do . Well, we are still challenging the, the system. And we are not going to give up, because there are a Million People in our position.

Social care for elderly people is on the brink of collapse in some parts of england, according to the charity age uk. It says more than 50,000 people are now not receiving any help, despite struggling with daily tasks such as washing, eating the dead persons identity and relative information as well. Thank you very much. Now the menopause happens to every woman so why is it something that we talk about so little . With women living on average 30 years after it whats the best way to deal with this change to our bodies . A new documentary by kirsty wark who herself went through it after having a hysterectomy is on tonight. It takes an unflinching look at the menopause and asks if women who suffer side effects have been needlessly denied Hormone Replacement Therapy figures. The most common treatment for menopausal symptoms is Hormone Replacement Therapy, hrt, it helps replace the Oestrogen Lost when ovaries stop producing eggs. It can be taken through patches, a gel, or tablets. But it has been hard to work out if it is wise to take hrt. This is due to the confusion ignited by the publication of the Womens Health Initiative Study in america back in 2002. The study casts serious doubt on the safety of hrt. One study cancelled, says the guardian, hrt does more harm than good, in 2002, 2008, new cancer fear for women taking hrt, and then, hrt is safe for millions of women again. 1 million women could benefit from hrt. This is why it is all so confusing. I was using hrt tablets for three years after my hysterectomy but i stopped suddenly like so many women because of this scare. So in 2002 the results of the Womens Health get study came out and it suggested that being on hrt hugely increased your chances of Breast Cancer, even if you had been taking it for a short periods are a lot of women stopped because of this risk. Lots with no discussion with a health professional, they stopped cold turkey. People stopped coming to ask for hrt and gps became its a vicious circle. Circle. Subsequent research suggested that the analysis of the data was flawed and that the findings were overstated but these more positive reappraisals received nothing like the same publicity as the original square. More up to date research has attempted to offer clarification of the risks involved. The insiders guide to the menopause is on at 9. 00 tonight for viewers in scotla nd is on at 9. 00 tonight for viewers in scotland and for everyone on the iplayers. Julie chandler who experienced severe menopause side effects, thank you all welcome. Kirstie, like so many normal things that we go through, we dont actually foe that much about it until something happens to you and then you think why didnt i know . People will be experiencing symptoms not knowing they are symptoms of menopause. That is is right. The idea that something called low mood affects a lot of women who go to their gps and some dont prescribe antidepressants but some do. That is not the treatment that you should be having. And it is the very fact we dont discuss it and we all go through it, usually round the age of 50. Height of careers, and it is a taboo. I want everybody to say look we need to talk about it, deal with it and various treatments that women are entitled to. You say, people going through it at height of career now, no one likes to expose something that look like a weakness and a vulnerability. Absolutely. There is that perception. You know what i am not sure it would be the same if all men went through it. What do you think let us ask the man. What do you think . I have been through the menopause. And survived. We do have them but not quite the same. Let us talk about your experiences. Kirstie you had an instant menopause. talk about your experiences. Kirstie you had an instant menopause. I had to have a hysterectomy. My co nsulta nt to have a hysterectomy. My consultant said you are having one, do you want to keep your ovaries and Ovarian Cancer is very much a hidden killers i had my kids, and i wasnt going to be having any more. I thought, no i am going, it is all going, it went, so instantly i went into menopause so the next morning, straight after i started taking hrt. And it worked . It did. I felt great. And it worked . It did. I felt great. And then, two things happened. There was the study, the big study in america but a friend of mine who was on hrt for ten years and had a precancerous breast lump and was told best to get off it. That makes you feel nervous and worried so i went cold turkey hurt i can. Diane you had the Ovarian Cancer scare, so you had the hysterectomy, insta nt scare, so you had the hysterectomy, instant menopause, what was it like for you . Pretty hideous, that is mainly because i hadnt been given the information i needed. Were you not given any warning about what would happen . I had my Health Service recollect meh and i left the hospital after two days but i wasnt given any information. I was told to see my gp in a few weeks time, which i did but unfortunately my mum had had Ovarian Cancer, so i was aware there was a type of hrt, but it was not one that i was willing to take, because of the way it was made. It is animal derived. Tha nkfully made. It is animal derived. Thankfully it is quite restricted in its use now in the uk, but i didnt realise there was a second body identical type of hrt, and so for that reason, i chose to go and see a clinic and take some, try and take herbs and minerals which was never going to do it for somebody in my position who had had their ovaries removed but no, there was no information for me about that, so, eventually, when things got really hideous, and a lot of it for me was emotional and mental, i hideous, and a lot of it for me was emotionaland mental, i ended hideous, and a lot of it for me was emotional and mental, i ended up essentially in a really deep, dark place, where i considered taking my own life, and at that point, my husband picked me up, took me to the doctors, which he had been trying to persuade me to do for ages but i was terrified because i thought they would put me on anti depleasants. We nt would put me on anti depleasants. Went back to the doctor, she said you have a choice there is a second type of hrt, it is plant derived. It is body identical. Why did it take so long . It takes thatening long, there are, i run an organisation now call menopause support, which supports women and i speak to women every week, of every day, who are struggling to get the right information or they are turning up at the surgery and the gp doesnt know what to tell them. Julie, you also had early surgical menopause because of Ovarian Cancer, did it feel like a taboo to you, when you suddenly were plunged into menopause . Well, i had my ovaries out as a preventative because i was at high risk of cancer, it was a terrible shock for me in terms of the symptoms i had. I wasnt prepared for it. I didnt have information. I had to fight to get hrt. I was led to believe by my genetic councillor who supported me through the surgeries i would be put on hrt but my surgeon and gp said i had brca2 positive jeans. On hrt but my surgeon and gp said i had brca2 positivejeans. Like some of your other genes. The symptoms we re of your other genes. The symptoms were unbelievable. There was no way i could function as a normal professional woman going about her life without some sort of help and having tried everything out there, like one of your guests in the studio, there was nothing else that was doing anything to help the symptoms, and i needed something serious that was going to help me and finally i managed to get on the hrt which put everything back to normal again. Is janice, i mean, hrt which put everything back to normal again. Isjanice, i mean, it sounds like talking obviously to these women, and many others out there, that hrt is a no brainer but it has been through controversies. It has, but i agree, i think it is a no brainerfor women, it has, but i agree, i think it is a no brainer for women, and i it has, but i agree, i think it is a no brainerforwomen, and i am it has, but i agree, i think it is a no brainerfor women, and i am a clinician, i see women coming who are doing the dance of the desperate. The quality of life is shocking, particularly professional women, they are no functioning at the level they were before and hrt can transform their life, as well as that, they are getting protection against Cardiovascular Disease and it is looking after their bones, i think its a no brainer that women who are having symptoms the and are feeling lousy should be going on to Hormone Replacement Therapy. What kirstie said is right, that the scandal that it has happened against women because of the study that came out in 2002, we have this whole generation of gps and doctors in training who will not prescribe hrt, they are terrified of it. Fortu nately they are terrified of it. Fortunately the pendulum is swinging back and women are getting more information, they are desperate and getting more educated. They have been deprived of Hormone Replacement Therapy and i think is scandalous. The nice guidelines that came out in town 15 say every woman should have individual liced care from their gp. Any woman needs to go to their gp and sit there and sit there until they get some positive advice. Because women dont go because they dont think there is anything for them. You are not so convinced by hrt . I am convinced by hrt as a cure for some of the symptoms, but you are concerned about the side effects. Women with serious symptoms need hrt. They should take it. But it does carry risk, if you look at the epidemiology properly you cant say it protects against Cardiovascular Disease, because it doesnt. That aside though, whether you think it protects against Something Else or not, that is not a harm. What . You sayer owe questioning whether it protect against cardios vascular disease. Questioning whether it protect against Cardios Vascular Diseasem increases the risks of stroke and the risk of mi. By how much that is the risk of mi. By how much that is the thing you have said that and there are millions of woman who will say maybe i shouldnt have is it. It is about quality of life. say maybe i shouldnt have is it. It is about quality of life. I agree with you. Completely about quality of life. But what it says it is protects against that disease, it doesnt. It pro 1r50ids if taken at the time of ovarian failure and you know that, the zudys the mean age was 63. I have ever in as a clinician started hrt in a woman at 63. You start at the time of menopause, if do you that you provide some protection against Cardiovascular Disease. We did a study, we took the submission who had done smallish trials, random miced to hrt or not and they were all menopausal, aged 50. They were taking hrt. If you pull the studies together of which there are 300 and we published this, there is a small increase in Cardiovascular Disease which is the same as the increase in Cardiovascular Disease the whi study showed. It st the case that it does not protect against Cardiovascular Disease at the very best. The big initial controversy was about risk, Breast Cancer risk, and that has now, the guidance on that has been changed. Yes because there is a strong vested interest to believe hrt is safe. You dont believe it . It causes Breast Cancer. No, no, no. You cannot say, you cant put out a statement that says that hrt causes Breast Cancer. It does not cause Breast Cancer. It does not cause Breast Cancer, you would know that better than i. You are talking about hrt causing Breast Cancer, i dont believe it is, o boos thety is a much bigger risk far for. It is not. Lam much bigger risk far for. It is not. Iaman much bigger risk far for. It is not. I am an academic, i have done research trials, and i think if you are a clinician, dealing with women then you have to appreciate improving quality of life, improving longevity and not scaremongering women about the risk. longevity and not scaremongering women about the risk. I want to bring in some comments. We are getting so many, ing bring in some comments. We are getting so many,ing about that point. I am an academic, i have done research trials, and i think if you are a clinician, dealing with women then you have to appreciate improving quality of life, improving longevity and not scaremongering women about the risk. longevity and not scaremongering women about the risk.

I suffered premenopausal symptoms and doctors should provide nutritional advice. I changed all my foods and have no symptoms, i had no support from doctors or help. How much training in nutrition do doctors get. Jan said training in nutrition do doctors get. Jan saidi training in nutrition do doctors get. Jan said i had terrible flushes. I had other symptoms which have lessoned or gone. Carol said i went through the menopause at 52. Fortu nately went through the menopause at 52. Fortunately i didnt suffer too badly with hot flush, i am 64. I have had no libido, i have not been able to have intercows because it is painful. Karen says i was having 1215 hot painful. Karen says i was having 12 15 hot flushes in 24 hours. It woke me up through the night. I am taking natural pills, it has cut my hot flushes in half and i am sleeping through the night. Susan say i have been on hrt for 23 years. It is the only thing that works. I used to have hot flushes and sweats every half hour sometimes. People are saying, people will have Different Things that work. There is no silver bullet, nor are there identical symptoms. The one i didnt know about was joint pain. I interviewed a woman who was a great runner, and suddenly she had joint pain and she was only in her mid 405. She couldnt believe it. It was an early menopausal symptom. Why arent we told this . It is as if you arent we told this . It is as if you are at school, you are taught about puberty and someone says is half way through your life you will experience Different Things, no one is told and we are 51 of the population. And now, i mean, that is the thing, you have done this documentary, to get people talking about it. Get people thinking about it. Why do you think it has taken so long . This is a male dominated world, i dont know. It is right. Education in schools, universities and whatever, we dont talk enough about the menopause. That is is a terrible thing. Do We Self Police a bit . The fear of revealing something about yourself . Absolutely. And also the fact is that some women have these huge mood swings. Senior colleagues of mine said a Red Mist Offence and their family were mortified. It is so debilitating. We need to deal with these things as well. For those women and their families, these things as well. For those women and theirfamilies, and friends, it is very difficult. We need to talk about this stuff. And partners. I have spoken to men, they will say, i think my wife. I think my wife is going mad. Shes not going mad. Menopausal symptoms are very often emotional. It is not flushes. That is the thing that particularly doctors find difficult to recognise. That is why so many women end up on antidepressants. For families, for couples, for relationships, libido changes, nobody wants to talk about a lack of sex drive, and that is a huge part of this puzzle. If we talked about it earlier, kids could help their mums. I didnt realise that my mother went through an early menopause at 46 when i was 16, what a combination that was, adolescent and menopause laughter you are right. It is good to talk. It really is. We have got people talking at home, getting in touch on it. Thank you very much all of you. Keep your thoughts coming in. Loads of comments from you already, and we would love to hear more.

So we took permission from the doctor, took him, and he was well enough to travel. Once we got the go ahead from the doctors, we thought, thats fine. So we booked a flight four days prior to departing. We booked a flight days prior to departing. We booked a flight for 10th of december 2015, so it was going to overlap the Christmas Holidays anyway, flying out for 14 days. We spoke to the teacher, and they said it is understandable, if all is well and he has the go ahead from his doctor. We went on holiday, had an amazing time. We came back, received a letter through the post from the council to say we had been fined. At that point, i was shocked and confused. So i went to the school, and they said we would have two approach the council. So we approached the council. Have two approach. The council said it was the schools discretion to find us. It is, it is at the discretion of the school whether you are able to ta ke the school whether you are able to take your child out. What you are experiencing is what the families of other children have experience. But because your son has Cystic Fibrosis, is it financial or practical consideration . It is all aspects. The practical aspect and medical basis, the fact that he might not be well enough to travel, it is very difficult to be able to foresee what is going to happen, even in the following weeks. Soi happen, even in the following weeks. So i cant plan a holiday ahead, even months in advance, because you never know what is around the corner. Hannah, i mentioned that your sister very sadly died of Cystic Fibrosis, but before she died, your family managed to go on a holiday, and the school was compassionate about that. Yeah, the school were really supportive. They fully understood why it was so important that we went on holiday together as a family. I have got a Little Brother and a little sister, and for them, when we came out, that is when she became critically ill and died. That holiday is the last happy memory they have got with iona. The Cystic Fibrosis holiday fund helped us with grants to go, and they wouldnt have those happy memories without that. Coming back and getting fired, and the stress of sorting that out, it would have been impossible to deal with that because iona was so critically ill that she nearly died when we got home. In that situation, there needs to be leniency, because you cant help the circumstances. You cant make a change. The situation, as described, it is difficult to work out when you need to go, because of health considerations, is that why you went in terms time . Why did you go in terms time . At that point, that was when iona was well. With Cystic Fibrosis, the issue you face, really, is it is a massive unknown. You can be completely fine one way, and within a couple of weeks, you can be dead. You have to seize the opportunity whilst you have got the opportunity, just do it. Everything else has to be put on hold. Lets bring in lewis wagner, you are Assistant Head at a secondary school, what do you think about term time holidays . From the standpoint of education, we are primarily there to ensure that education happens, and that can only happen with good attendance by students. The policy is clear from the government regulations, and state that you had to apply to a head teacher if you wish to be considered for exceptional circumstances to take a child out of school. The school will make sure the policy is followed. On Cystic Fibrosis specifically and other serious conditions, should that a lwa ys serious conditions, should that always automatically be a special condition . And permission given . A case by case basis, you apply to the headteacher for the exceptional circumstances. I imagine, with Cystic Fibrosis being the condition it is, it is something that would be taken into consideration. It is nice to hear from the people you have there that the school was supportive. In one case, it was, but in the other, there was a fine. What do you think about a fine . The fine was from the local authority, and i correct in saying . Yeah. The school is not necessary for the fine, it is for ensuring attendance and unauthorised absence. I cant speak on the half of that local authority, unfortunately. You are with the Cystic Fibrosis holiday fund, how much parents of kids with Cystic Fibrosis fined for taking them out of school in term time . It feels like a bit of a postcode lottery. Some councils issued Tens Of Thousands of pounds of fines and councils that dont issue any fined at all. It isnt a problem we have experienced with everybody, but it isa experienced with everybody, but it is a problem that is coming up with more frequency. As we have started recently organising fully paid holidays, as opposed to the grants we have given in the past to families to help a four day holiday, some of the fully paid holidays given are in term time. More and more families have said to us, being able to take a fully paid for holiday of a lifetime because they might be fined on their return. It isa might be fined on their return. It is a slightly controversial position, putting out fully paid for holidays in term time, encouraging pa rents to holidays in term time, encouraging parents to break guidelines. We didnt think so. We thought with Cystic Fibrosis it would be pretty clear for children with Cystic Fibrosis it would be pretty clearfor children with a Cystic Fibrosis it would be pretty clear for children with a disease thatis clear for children with a disease that is ultimately terminal and never goes away. Parents are spending hours and hours every day giving physiotherapy, and children are taking tens of different drugs every day to keep going. There is no breakfrom every day to keep going. There is no break from that. It didnt seem controversial to us as a charity to be able to support term time holidays to families that wanted them. But it seems that it is, in just a few cases, an issue. Hannah . The amount of treatment you have got to do, for Something Like Cystic Fibrosis, before iona died, she had that much medication, should we could not get it within a 24 hour period. You just want to get away from it all, some things where you can shut the door, possibly forget a little bit about it, and have a little bit about it, and have a little bit about it, and have a little bit of a break. What about the issue of damaging a childs education because the department of Health Points out there are 13 weeks of holiday across there are 13 weeks of holiday across the academic year, evidence shows that every day of school mist can affect a childs chances of achieving good gcses and it has a lasting effect on their life choices. Can we foreso has the a future, it is very important education should be, it is everyones parity but at the same time, the importance of family, and to be loved and to have the support off each other and to have memories with each other, sort of balance it out. Education is a priority, every parents but the wellbeing and just the mental support that you can give to a child, that is fighting a constant battle on a daily basis where every morning, evening at night we are spending two to three hours on medication and nebulisers and physiotherapy equipment. It is very easy to sort of brush it as a stays tick and other children as a statistic with Cystic Fibrosis with the same brush and say, well, all children have to comply, but there is an Umbrella Policy and surely there should be some sort of compromise, as far as children that have these special circumstances. Lewis wagner, when you are talking about life chances in terms of education, and you hear about the life chances of these kids, struggling with very difficult conditions, and their families endiring that with them, can you even equate those two . endiring that with them, can you even equate those two . I think one of the things about being a teacher. We are caring, it is a caring profession and we understand the difficulties that are associated with conditions like Cystic Fibrosis and we are very aware of the life style and we are very aware of the lifestyle that they may have to live Asa Lifestyle that they may have to live as a result of this, which is why as pa rt of as a result of this, which is why as part of the regulation, one of the things that is there that Head Teachers can grant these term time absences, they can make sure they are authorised rather than unauthorised, in exceptional circumstances. Thank you all very much for coming in. Thank you all very much for coming in. Three million of us could stave off colds and flu each year if we took Vitamin D Supplements. Thats according to new Research Published in the british medicaljournal. It studied 11,000 people and found that a daily dose of the Sunshine Vitamin can protect against acute respiratory infections. But Public Health england said evidence on vitamin d is inconsistent and that this study does not provide sufficient evidence to support recommending vitamin d for reducing the risk of respiratory Tract Infections. Lets talk now to nutritionist jenny rosborough. And also to professor who is head of Nutritional Services at the university of surrey. Thank you for joining us. Tell us a bit more, first of all, jenny, about the benefits you think there may be on vitamin d . So this particular research is looking at the Benefits Ofa Research is looking at the benefits of a supplementation of Vitamin Department on respiratory Tract Infections like cold or flu, but we know that the proven consistent evidence of vitamin d is much more round bone and muscle health. That what our current recommendations are based on. Should everyone take it . If there is a suggestion it helps, it wont cause you any harm . On in excess it will cause harm but not in the amounts found in supplementation. The recommendation is that even should take a supplement in the winter months and in autumn, because we get a lot of vitamin d from sunshine, obviously in the uk we dont get a lot that at this time of the year, and for those Population Groups at risk they should take them the whole year round, so people with darker skin or who arent exposed to sunlight as much. Susan, what do you think about this research . Very much agree with your Press Conference speaker, it is a very nice piece of work, that has been done by a very reputable group, in london. It is a met a analysis, it is pulling together randomised controlled trial, one of the interesting things with the study is it shows the greatest effect in those who have a Vitamin D Status less than 25 perlitre, that is what was. Less than 25 perlitre, that is what was. Sorry, put that in lay persons language then. That is kind of like the cut off point for very low Vitamin D Status, so what the study showed was the effect, it was greatest in those with this very low level of Vitamin D Status and was most ebeneficial in those who were taking a Vitamin D Supplement on a daily or weekly basis, rather than a large bolus dose, a very large amount taken at one time. Ok. In terms of the best way to get vitamin d, if you want it is its a supplement, how else can you get it . Apart from the sunlight and even thatis apart from the sunlight and even that is tricky, in the summer we are covering ourself in sun tan lotion, covering ourself in sun tan lotion, covering up because we are worried about Skin Cancer Risk so supplementation is what is recommended. It is one of those vitamins we cant get easily from food. It is in oily fish and egg yolks, they might be food people dont consume. If you had an oily fish once a week. The recommendation is we have fish twice a week but thatis is we have fish twice a week but that is for different benefit, so for the general public, yes, eve ryo ne for the general public, yes, everyone really should have a supplement. It is fort anied if fortified in sup products. Would you still need a supplement . The general recommendation is still that we should have this supplement. Ok. Why is it, susan, that vitamin d has this effect . It seems . It is a very unusual nutrient in that our main source is not diet, it is uv b ex pore sure, so the best way of telling if you are in the right sunlight your shadow has to be shorter than your height. That is a useful tip to remember for people, so between really april and september, is when you would get your vitamin september, is when you would get yourvitamin d. In september, is when you would get your vitamin d. In terms of it, so we talk about it as a vitamin, it is not a vital we talk about it as a vitamin, it is nota vitalaiming we talk about it as a vitamin, it is not a vital aiming which is what the term vitamin means, its a pro hormone so it is made in the body. What we know about vitamin d is that it has our cells in the body need vitamin dto it has our cells in the body need vitamin d to work, so a number of immune function cells need vitamin d to operate effectively. That is what makes it so interesting as a nutrient to focus on. Thank you both very much. Thank you. Love actually has become one of Richard Curtiss most favourite films. How did the tangled love lives of the characters play out. We are about to find out possibly because members of the cast are going to be reuniting for a short sequel ten minutes to raise money for comic relief. In a moment we will speak to emma freud but let us remind ourself of the original film. Here is is a bit of the famous scene where the late alan rick mans character attempts to get a Christmas Present gift wrapped. Mans character attempts to get a Christmas Present gift wrapped. Whats that . A cinnamon stick, sir. You wont regret it sir. Wanna bet . Were delighted to be able to speak to emma freud, script editor on love actually and director of red nose day. Are you on the set right now . are you on the set right now . I am. I have turned the camera round you cant see where we are. Do you mind turning it back round . No. Quite busy here already. Tell us who is there with you then . Ok, liam niecen, the most after tracktive man in the world and slightly weirdly, younger looking now, than he was when we first did the film 13 years ago. He is gorgeous, and Thomas Sangster who was a 12 year old boy who played his step son, he is now a great big boy, he is 26. And one other person i am not going to tell you who. Ourfirst other person i am not going to tell you who. Our first days filming we are going to do the whole thing in five days, i think but this is day one, and it is going ok, we have done the first take of the first scene, back to the second take, i will grab richard in a moment so you can say hello to him, but it is all very exciting. Please do grab him any time you like. We would love to talk to richard as well. Can you tell us. Richard who else is going to be in it who have you said . I said liam and tom. Kiera and andrew is in it and colin is in it and hugh and lucia, a lot of people. Emma thompson . Oddly, we are not quite sure, oddly. It is being done in a great rush, i think not, but i am now thinking again, we will wait and see. Bill is in it. Will all of our burning questions be answered . No. 0k, burning questions be answered . No. Ok, maybe not in ten minutes maybe you need to make a full sequel, would you do that . No. Why not . The only reason this is happening is for red nose day, in britain, and also for red nose day in americaings, which is something we do now as well. So this is red nose day. And action he has got a job to do. Did anyone say no, when you approached everyone, what was their reaction, we re everyone, what was their reaction, were they excited to be doing it . Alan rickman went very quiet. Other than that, no, nobody amazingly, nobody said no. Liam flew over yesterday, from america, and is going back tomorrow, so that is quite dedicated. No, it surprised us, there is a lot of affection for the film. I know some people think its the worst thing put on celluloid but i think there is a very warm feeling and it and the cast have enjoyed that over the yea rs i cast have enjoyed that over the years i imagine, because they all said yes, which was great. Was it easy to write . No, it wasnt, i think i have never opinion more useful, the first draft he did was so bad, that i told him we absolutely shouldnt do it and to abort the plan and he rewrote it, so it has gone through a lot of pass, it has gone through a lot of pass, it is quite good now but very much in red nose day, the only point of it existing is in order to try and draw attention to red nose day and make money for our projects. That is the only push in life. We have tried to hook it into that, that felt like a crowbar at the beginning but it is sitting nicely now. That is good. Can you give us some examples of what he put in the first draft that was were so shocking . The same jokes again. He said they will be funny because they are older, and no, that isnt good enough, he did thejokes the first time, 30 years ago and they were find, you cant do it so, we had to move on, i had to develop ita we had to move on, i had to develop it a bit. There has to be progress rather than revisiting the old gag, that wasnt going to work. Thank you so much. March 24th red nose day. Enjoy the filming. Thank you. Bbc newsroom live is coming up next.
