[00:10:34] If I hadn't a went for that scan, I may not have been
[00:10:37] here now. Alfie Thompson feels lucky to be alive. A
[00:10:41] smoker for 50 years, he was invited for a cancer screening despite
[00:10:45] showing no symptoms. The scan picked up a small cancerous
[00:10:48] lump on his lungs. I went for the radio therapy, five
[00:10:52] and double doses over five days. "And I mean, I've
[00:10:56] never looked back, and you ring that bell at the end of your treatment
[00:11:00] and your cancer free, it's just absolutely
[00:11:02] unbelievable." A new report by Cancer Research
[00:11:06] UK has shown a deep national divide when it comes to cancer
[00:11:09] diagnosis. The largest inequalities are rates of smoking
[00:11:13] related cancers, like lung cancer. Alfie had
[00:11:16] this message for people hesitant about coming forward. I can honestly say
[00:11:20] that - when I first went, I was
[00:11:24] really nervous." And I mean uh after the first scan
[00:11:27] I would say that anybody who gets a letter to go for
[00:11:31] a scan, go. In the
[00:11:34] North East and Cumbria, detecting lung cancer early has become a
[00:11:37] priority. Since screening began here in 2021,
[00:11:41] more than 1,300 cases have been discovered, about a tenth of those
[00:11:44] diagnosed in the national program. Screening vans
[00:11:47] like this in a car parking biker right where the community can access it is a
[00:11:51] game changer for people being able to access that opportunity for early
[00:11:55] diagnosis. I think the locations, the flexibility, the
[00:11:58] ease of being able to access the screening is really important and maximizes how
[00:12:02] many people are able to get benefit of the screening program. Cancer
[00:12:06] Research UK are calling it the cancer inequality gap. People from
[00:12:09] deprived communities are more likely to
[00:12:12] disease. Mobile scanners like these are just one
[00:12:16] part of trying to solve the issue. About
[00:12:18] 95 new cancer cases each day are linked to
[00:12:21] deprivation, and that number is not just unacceptable,
[00:12:25] but it's also avoidable and the government can
[00:12:28] actually get behind some tangible actions like smoking
[00:12:31] cessation, like screening uptake to really
[00:12:34] change that picture. A spokesperson for the Department of Health and
[00:12:38] Social Care said people's background should never determine their life
[00:12:41] chances, which is why tackling health inequalities is
[00:12:45] a key priority of its national cancer
[00:12:47] plan. As part of that effort, it says it's increasing
[00:12:51] medical training places for cancer specialists in rural and coastal areas,
[00:12:55] improving transparency on the quality of care in different trusts
[00:12:59] and funding cancer alliances to try and improve
[00:13:02] early diagnosis in local communities. Back
[00:13:05] on Tyneside, people like Janice are answering the call to come for
[00:13:09] a scan. Please breathe in and
[00:13:12] hold your breath. What was the process like? Did you get a letter and then
[00:13:16] just about a letter? Um, which
[00:13:19] is ideal, which I prefer, and it's handy
[00:13:22] having the mobile van here. Not far from
[00:13:25] home, instead of having to travel to the hospital, you come
[00:13:29] here and it's ideal. It's
[00:13:33] sometimes the simplest solutions in communities like this that can help
[00:13:37] make a difference. Shingi Mararike, Sky News,
[00:13:40] Newcastle.
[00:13:49] This is one of the best-selling cars in Britain now. You might not have heard of
[00:13:53] it. You might feel it looks
[00:13:55] quite familiar. This is a JQ
[00:13:58] 7. You might know it by its nickname, the T-Mu
[00:14:02] Range Rover. Now it's got nothing to do with the Chinese online
[00:14:05] retailer Timu, or indeed Range Rover, but it
[00:14:08] is Chinese, it is cheap, and it does look quite
[00:14:12] a lot like its more expensive British
[00:14:15] rival. One in five new cars on British roads is
[00:14:19] Chinese. An explosion of
[00:14:22] popularity driven by low prices, high spec
[00:14:25] cars that, unlike in Europe, do not face
[00:14:29] tariffs. Jaecoo is one of four different brands the state-owned
[00:14:32] Chery Group has launched in the last two years alone, but its UK boss
[00:14:36] told me this is no overnight success and dismissed wider
[00:14:40] security and privacy concerns about Chinese
[00:14:43] tech. I would not say it's a quick win, right? So because you
[00:14:47] know, uh, we have prepared for the UK entry for more than 20
[00:14:50] years. So I think we don't people will think
[00:14:54] it's easy. It's not easy, because the UK is so mature, so
[00:14:57] saturated market, so we have prepared for this for a
[00:15:01] long time. Do people have anything to fear from Chinese
[00:15:04] vehicles? Thank you for this question. You know, uh, we have
[00:15:08] been running overseas business for more than 20 years or around
[00:15:12] about 100 countries. So if a country they have
[00:15:15] local requirement and compliance, I think Chery
[00:15:19] as an international company, we will definitely 100%
[00:15:22] comply with local requirements.
[00:15:25] Chinese competition is the latest headache for British manufacturers
[00:15:28] already grappling with rising costs, the
[00:15:32] shift to electrification, and American tariffs.
[00:15:36] Last month, Britain's biggest manufacturer, Jaguar Land Rover,
[00:15:39] announced 4,000 job
[00:15:42] the times, according to the industry body. It's probably the
[00:15:46] most toughest conditions the European
[00:15:49] and I include the UK in that sector's ever faced. It is a challenge. I mean the
[00:15:53] competition is obviously very good for the consumer. It's increased the number of
[00:15:56] models, the number of brands. It has driven down, helped drive down prices.
[00:16:00] For manufacturers, the question is, can you compete? Amid the challenges
[00:16:04] for mass market manufacturers, there is one area, in which the UK
[00:16:08] still excels, though the customer base is a little
[00:16:11] narrower. Bentley has been selling cars in Berkeley Square for
[00:16:15] almost 100 years. Its newest model, the Tourcal, is its
[00:16:18] first fully electric car. Prices start at
[00:16:21] 175,000
[00:16:24] pounds, and Sky News was among the first to take a ride. Oh my
[00:16:28] goodness,
[00:16:31] smells amazing. It's British made. They make them in Crewe, but not the
[00:16:35] battery. The battery is... of Korean technology
[00:16:38] and assembled in Europe. And the bit that really counts for Britishness, according to
[00:16:42] Bentley, is all the surroundings, the stuff that makes this feel like a
[00:16:45] luxury armchair, like a gentleman's club if such
[00:16:49] things still exist. The leather work, the stitching, the
[00:16:52] detailing. It's German owned and run these days, but the
[00:16:55] boss says at the top end, brand Britain remains
[00:16:58] strong. Part of Bentley and part of the product is that
[00:17:02] it's engineered, designed, and built in the UK.
[00:17:06] People in the world are looking for a British
[00:17:09] car. And so it's like a Swiss
[00:17:13] watch. It comes, it comes with the place where it's built. That
[00:17:17] proud heritage may help sell
[00:17:20] car industry is at a crossroads. Thousands of
[00:17:23] jobs may depend on keeping up with China. Paul
[00:17:43] Ukraine, trains under attack from Russian drones.
[00:17:46] Croatia, innovative solutions for a clean
[00:18:09] targeted by Russian attacks. Recently, Russian drones have increasingly
[00:18:13] targeted trains, attempting to destroy the railway
[00:18:16] network in Ukraine. Since the beginning of the war, over 500
[00:18:20] locomotives have been damaged or destroyed, most
[00:18:22] this year. Despite the constant danger,
[00:18:26] Ukraine is trying to maintain normal railway traffic
[00:18:29] with the help of safety protocols. The DB reporting team
[00:18:33] investigated on site how this works in
[00:18:36] practice.
[00:18:50] A Russian drone has been detected from Kyiv. Halyna Koropko is responsible for the next
[00:18:53] steps.
[00:19:00] This is a protocol that comes into effect whenever a
[00:19:04] Russian drone is spotted within a 100 km radius
[00:19:08] of the section the train is traveling on.
[00:19:11] Staff have 10 minutes to stop the train and get passengers to safety.
[00:19:15] There is a fear that our train could be a target of attack.
[00:19:18] Russia has significantly intensified attacks on Ukrainian
[00:19:22] trains this year. Moscow claims that the targets are railway
[00:19:25] infrastructure and military logistics, but passenger
[00:19:28] trains are regularly under attack. Most
[00:19:31] passengers here react calmly. Some
[00:19:34] check for air raid warnings.
[00:20:50] But it's hard for us, it's very hard now, many railway workers
[00:20:54] have already died, drivers, even just recently
[00:20:57] drivers
[00:21:00] died, so we are very sad,
[00:21:03] sorry for the people. We are pushing to
[00:21:06] Kyiv, only one hour late. Halyna
[00:21:09] boards the train again and heads into another
[00:21:13] uncertain
[00:21:14] night.
[00:21:20] A paradise for nautical tourists, but that paradise is
[00:21:23] seriously threatened because yachts use the sea as a septic
[00:21:26] tank. Luciano Beg is fighting to save the
[00:21:30] Adriatic with innovations. His Ecocube offers a practical and ecological
[00:21:33] solution for wastewater disposal from vessels and
[00:21:37] fresh water supply.
[00:21:40] Croatia has the largest charter fleet in the world, almost 500
[00:21:44] yachts are distributed in marinas along the picturesque Adriatic
[00:21:48] coast. Last year,
[00:21:53] over 4 million charter nights were recorded, and thousands more private boats should be added to that, but the boom in nautical
[00:21:57] tourism has its dark side. The Adriatic Sea is seriously
[00:22:00] polluted by wastewater, and experts know
[00:22:04] who is one of the culprits.
[00:22:06] Proportion of wastewater, but
[00:22:14] also of other waste is, of course, caused by
[00:22:17] tourism. According to Croatian regulations, vessels
[00:22:20] are obliged to empty so-called black
[00:22:23] tanks on land, but this law is dead letter on paper, because
[00:22:27] almost no Croatian marina offers the possibility for
[00:22:30] this. Luciano Beg wants to change this. He doesn't
[00:22:34] believe in prohibitions, but in practical solutions. He offers
[00:22:38] one: the Ecocube.
[00:22:40] His invention, a floating container, offers the possibility
[00:22:44] of disposing of wastewater and solid waste, as well as filling
[00:22:48] fresh water. It can be placed anywhere, and
[00:22:51] boats can easily dock next to it. The prototype is already
[00:22:55] floating in front of Novigrad port in Istria. Skippers easily
[00:22:59] dock at the pontoon, register through the appropriate
[00:23:02] application, and connect to the wastewater discharge pipe.
[00:23:06] Everything else happens automatically. The Ecocube
[00:23:09] draws energy for its pump from solar
[00:23:13] cells. I think it's a very good
[00:23:16] project, because as nauts, we definitely need
[00:23:20] something to fill water, to unload black tanks,
[00:23:24] for trash, paper.
[00:23:27] The container, thanks to its solar power,
[00:23:29] is energy independent. Fresh water is obtained using a desalination
[00:23:33] device installed on the pontoon. This is very
[00:23:36] useful for skippers because they don't have to spend time and fuel to
[00:23:40] travel to marinas where they can get
[00:23:43] water. But what makes the Ecocube
[00:23:46] truly ecological are the
[00:23:50] materials it's made from. Luciano
[00:23:53] Beg is a shipbuilder and has been looking for ecological alternatives to
[00:23:57] plastic for years.
[00:23:59] A few years ago, I read on the internet
[00:24:03] that new ecological materials were starting to be developed,
[00:24:07] among which is flax. So we decided to
[00:24:10] try how we could make a boat from
[00:24:14] flax, to make a small contribution to nature conservation,
[00:24:18] the planet, less use of materials,
[00:24:20] less pollution. In Beg's shipyard,
[00:24:24] a large passenger catamaran has already been built, another is
[00:24:27] under construction, and the Ecocube is mostly made of
[00:24:31] biodegradable materials. Next year, it should go into
[00:24:34] serial production.
[00:24:37] Experts warn that it's high time for this, because
[00:24:41] tourism in Croatia is destroying its greatest asset.
[00:24:45] The sea.
[00:24:48] In many European countries, the streets are full of stray dogs,
[00:24:52] and it's no different in Bulgaria. Emma and Antony
[00:24:55] Smith couldn't just turn away from those scenes.
[00:24:58] After moving from England to Bulgaria,
[00:25:01] instead of organizing yoga retreats, they dedicated themselves to caring for
[00:25:05] abandoned animals. Their association has since managed
[00:25:08] to find homes for over 2,000
[00:25:11] dogs.
[00:25:14] Maximo, Zoro, and Bridget, all of them were abandoned and left to
[00:25:18] fate. Today, Emma and Antony and their shelter
[00:25:21] "Street Hearts" in the Bulgarian village of Glushka take care of them.
[00:25:24] Both Britons from Yorkshire initially had completely different
[00:25:28] plans. Antony first came to Bulgaria
[00:25:31] in 2004 when he
[00:25:35] was still working as a diver. Emma joined him five years later.
[00:25:50] dead dogs and I couldn't find the hotel we were staying at. So I
[00:25:53] first came in 2009 to
[00:25:56] see Anthony um and to visit him in the village
[00:26:00] where he was living. I didn't even know where Bulgaria
[00:26:32] there for her. There was no, there was nothing there for, so
[00:26:36] what do we do with Bridget? And I don't believe in taking a dog from one place
[00:26:40] and then abandoning it in another place. So
[00:26:43] yeah, we we started keeping some
[00:26:46] sick dogs here. And I remember getting 17 dogs and
[00:26:50] panicking and thinking, what am I going to do with these dogs? And that's when
[00:26:54] we decided to become a shelter. To date, this
[00:26:57] shelter has rehomed more than 500 dogs, and for
[00:27:01] another 2,000 or so.
[00:27:19] The shelter staff regularly visit schools in the
[00:27:23] region with some of the dogs. They talk to the
[00:27:26] children about the importance of spaying/neutering animals and taking good
[00:27:30] care of them. Since then, they have noticed the first
[00:27:33] changes. "There's a lot more responsible dog owners
[00:27:36] neutering the dogs. So yeah, I think
[00:27:39] definitely in our region things are changing. And
[00:27:43] there'll always be instances where a shelter space is
[00:27:47] needed if somebody dies. But generally
[00:27:49] people contact us now, rather than abandoning the
[00:27:53] dogs. They'll ask us to
[00:27:55] help." Nobody knows the exact number of stray dogs in Bulgaria,
[00:27:59] it is estimated to be tens of thousands. Emma and Antony's
[00:28:02] team hope for a long-term solution to the problem through
[00:28:06] an education program, state support, and projects like
[00:28:09] theirs.
[00:28:13] Ammo, after everything he experienced with Emma and Antony,
[00:28:16] found security. Here he regained trust,
[00:28:20] plays, runs, and can simply be
