A journalist who has investigated the uk Blood Scandal for her book, the poison line. And Blood Scandal victim stephen smith, who contracted hepatitis c from a contaminated Blood Transfusion when he was 22. He told me how the issues began after he had a Blood Transfusion in 1985 after losing four pints of blood when he accidentally put his foot through a glass door. I had a Blood Transfusion fuor Blood Transfusions in total and i would say probably six months after that. So probably 1986, i started some notice that my mood was changing and i was getting very lethargic. Did do sport back in the day. So ijust thought you might be sport that made me tired. So i didnt realise. And it went on for 36 years until i did find out which as a hell of a shock. Well, thats an incredible amount of time to wait before you found out what went wrong. Could you describe the moment you were told . I used to live in essex and i moved four years ago whilst i was in essex, having in and out. Always in conve

Welcome away getting information from various l getting information from various iranians sources and other News Agencies that provide pretty good understanding of what happens in iran but isnt necessarily full confirmation. So what weve heard is the president Ebrahim Raisi was travelling in a convoy and we here this from at least one iranian source of three helicopters over East Azerbaijan and that one helicopter had to make what was described as a rough, hard landing. That helicopter has emerged over the past half an hour or so and it seems almost certainly to have had president vasey on board, not only president vasey on board, not only president raisi but also the reigning Foreign Minister on board. This is an area where is mountainous, its wooded and we are hearing from these sources that there is a particularly bad Wea

Is currently unclear whether the president was on board the helicopter that state media says was involved in the accident, so there were three helicopters in this convoy. One of them had what state media are calling a hard landing. There is a lot of heavy rain and fog in the area and we are just seeing the mp for the city where the convoy was heading has told reporters in tehran that Emergency Rescue workers have yet to find the location of the president s helicopter, and heavy rain and fog has made the rescue very difficult. They are saying of the three helicopters, to have landed safely but there is no news on the third. Some reports do say they were carrying the president and Foreign Minister but we have had no confirmation of that at the moment and i amjoined in confirmation of that at the moment and i am joined in the studio by mike colleague.

Im not blaming them but the internal politics meant that the money did not flow in the way that in the uk were giving consistent amounts of money, then we increased it again, added an extra half a billion so we are giving them 3 billion this year, plus different packages. It is important that support is consistent because if you stop these are the problems you see. At the moment it is some villages on the outskirts of kharkiv, and it is
