good afternoon. the music world is paying tribute to chuck berry, the guitarist and songwriter who for many invented rock ‘n‘ roll, who's died at the age of 90. the rolling stones mickjagger said berry had been an inspiration who had "lit up" his teenage years and blew life into the stones‘ dreams of being musicians. david sillito looks back at his life. # deep down in louisiana close to new orleans # way back up in the woods——— ———————— # there stood a log cabin made of earth and wood # where lived a country boy named johnny b goode...# johnny b goode. # sweet little 16. ..# sweet little 16. # it's a jumpin‘ little record i want myjockey to play...# roll over beethoven. if any one person could claim to have invented rock'n'roll, it was chuck berry. # maybellene, why can't you be true...# his formula — take rhythm and blues, mix it with country and add electric guitar and sing about the stuff that teenagers care about. that's why i wrote about school.

half of the young people go to school. and i wrote about life. half of the people have cars, i wrote about cars and mostly all the people, if they're not now, they'll soon be in love. charles berry was born in st louis, missouri. as a teenager, he spent time in prison for armed robbery, he married young, trained as a hairdresser and his hobby was guitar. # maybellene. ..# it was muddy waters who suggested he record a song at the legendary chess studios. and another spell in prison, a conviction for immorality with a 14—year—old girl, halted his career. # up in the mornin‘ and out to school # was sweeping america. he was, though, something of a loner. he would often turn up and play with whoever was around. sometimes, he wouldn't even hand out a set list. he knew everyone would know the songs. and he wasn't always

easy to get on with, as his fan, keith richards, found out. you got to live with it, afterwards. i've been living for 60 years with it! i know that! 0k, well then realise it! but is it going to be here, after we're all dead and gone? it ain't you and me... oh, i ain't dying. but, asjohn lennon said, if you wanted to give rock'n‘roll another name, you might call it chuck berry. chuck berry who has died at the age of 90. the nhs is facing a ‘mission impossible‘ to meet the standards and targets required by the government. that's according to the organisation which represents health trusts in england. for the first time, nhs providers says the money allocated for the next financial year — beginning'in april—i is not enough to meet growing patient demand and will make it difficult, if not impossible, to meet targets like a and e waiting times.

our health editor hugh pym reports. it's been a winter of unprecedented strain on the nhs, with hospitals full — or close to it — and patient demand on the increase. and investment in a and e units in england. nhs providers representing hospitals and other trusts said that may ease some of the pressure, but there'll still be a yawning gap in the resources needed just to keep services ticking over. this is the first time in recent nhs history that trusts are saying they cannot deliver the key accident and emergency and elective surgery targets and hit financial balance. that's the first time ever that's actually happened. i think it's a very worrying sign. the warning comes after the health secretaryjeremy hunt said hospitals in england should get back to the targetrofseeingrr ~~ or assessing 95% of patients in a&e within four hours. it's not going to be overnight, but it is essential. i am expecting the nhs to return

to that target during the course of the next calendar year. but nhs providers say it's unprecedented to warn, even before the financial year begins, that, on current planned budgets, the a&e standard and others can't be met. the organisation says there will be big increases in the number of patients in england who lose out because key targets are missed, waiting more than 18 weeks for routine surgery. the department of health said the comments fail to acknowledge that the nhs has a strong plan to improve performance and that staff were working hard to treat thousands more people each year within the a&e target. hugh pym, bbc news. north korea's state media says its military has tested a new high—performance rocket engine. the announcement came during a visit to china by the us secretary of state, rex tillerson.

will attract road tax — or vehicle excise duty as it‘s formally known — for the first time. our business correspondent joe lynam explains. car drivers are encouraged to go green by the former chancellor brown, he wanted us to drive gordon brown, he wanted us to drive ca i’s gordon brown, he wanted us to drive cars with fflu emissions, in gordon brown, he wanted us to drive cars with fal emissions, in return cars with four emissions, in return for less road tax and in some cases, nothing. but from next month that is going to change, with road tax increasing for new greener cars. it means hybrid cars, which pay no tax, meansrhybrid carsflwhich gag norrtaxj. have to be £130 for road tax, will have to be £130 for road tax, and cars costing more than £40,000 will face an additional premium. luckily, new duties going to have no effect on cars already on the roads. already, dealerships have been very busyin already, dealerships have been very busy in the build—up to this change. it will try to get to them, before

being hit by this extra cost. but anecdotally, we are expecting a lull, hybrid in particular, because one of the incentives will be taking away. the government has said the new duties pointed .net this is a plug—in hybrid eagle, when it is running on battery, it does not emit any noxious gases, but if you get this from april, you will be paying £440 more than if you got it today. and some people believe that is § to do is incentivise people going to do is incentivise people from getting green cars. you can see more on all of today‘s stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at half past five. bye for now. hello.

sentence... he was a great songwriter and rebel. many have said that he was leading, to put it short, punk before punk! he was really something that nobody had seen before. it seems common now but seen before. it seemscommcnnowbut was unthinkable then. he has been such a good influence to so many. and what about his influence, on the electric guitar? he made something else out of the electric guitar, it could lead the way. the solo. the main act. that was fantastic change. this is why so many guitarists see him as their idol. - give them the him as their idol. you give them the polar prize in - what was the polar prize in 2014. what was the decision, “5 criteria? |

polar prize in 2014. what was the decision, “é- criteria? we could decision, the criteria? we could have given him that for so many reasons. but we looked up on his extreme talent, as a songwriter, and the songs have a life of their own. the beatles have made their versions. and even some examples of others copying and stealing his music. he could not come to the ceremony, because he was not well, but you had a party? it was a great party, with so much of his music, so many artists performing his music, and so many of them had him, chuck berry, as their idol. it was such a good party, and we felt his presence. one of his strengths, the

stage presence. it was something, to see him live in concert? he had such energy. but he always had such great music. and that, music. and people forget that, sometimes. it was notjust about choreography, playing guitar, great songs. these things combined, it was something extraordinary. and as that while his music is going to last, long after his death? definitely. his music comes from the heart, a true original. you think that is how he is going to be remembered? definitely. i think people could forget the image of chuck berry, that many of us carry with us, but

the music is going to speak for itself for many years to come. thank you very much. thank you. a man and two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of child abduction after two missing schoolgirls were found in the early hours of this morning in birmingham. the missing 13—year—olds were discovered by officers at an address in the washwood heath area ataround1am. the girls had not been seen since leaving a bus in bordesley green on friday night. they are now receiving specialist support. a 27 year—old man and two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, remain in police custody. victims of sexual assault won‘t have to go through the ordeal of giving evidence in court under changes being brought forward by the government. from september, a victim‘s cross—examination will be pre—recorded and played to the jury. the new scheme is being rolled out early after an agreement with seniorjudges. the move follows a trial involving child victims who said it made them feel less pressured and better able to recall events. a short time ago i spoke tojo wood, chief executive of the merseyside rape and sexual abuse centre.

she explained why the proposed changes are such a good idea. i think it is an absolutely brilliant idea. anything that can ta ke brilliant idea. anything that can take away some of the pressure from any former victim, or survivor, that is really good. when you are in a is really good. when you are 'n a is really good. .when you are 'n a pressured situation, at a really pressured situation, at a courtroom, you really pressured situation, at a courtroom , you are really pressured situation, at a courtroom, you are going to be unlikely to give good evidence. to be able to do that calmly beforehand, excellent. and that came out of the pilot scheme? recall better? less stressed? ad. standing in front of the alleged accuser?m is rated across—the—boa rd. in front of the alleged accuser?m is rated across—the—board. it does not matter if you are an adult, or child. at court, in front of com plete child. at court, in front of complete strangers, talking about the worst thing that has ever happened to you, it is unimaginable.

to be able to do that before hand, it isa to be able to do that before hand, it is a step in the right direction. do you think this is going to help reporting? reporting has gone up as services have become available. but what is really important to the support, the service that has been brought in. the advocates, from the time they make the report, two when they leave the court process. that sends time—consuming and expensive. funding available? sadly, after establishing the fact that it was indispensable, add to those many, it is key to increased reporting and enhanced statistics, the home office has stopped all funding. from 1st of april. that seems daft when it has been so successful. what difference is that going to make? it means a

ii that. going to make?= ii that going to maltet= of ia that gaihg ta maha?= of places across the country are lot of places across the country are not going to get that service, that really bad because we have got to is really bad because we have got to a situation when almost everybody making reports about sexual pilots would have somebody to support them. the idea is that that would become established, into local practices. but as we know, we have got cuts across—the—board, at everything, and this service is really suffering. and what has the legal system set, defence and prosecution? clearly, the defence not happy about this. we work so closely with the police, on a daily basis, we are the liaison. we ta ke a daily basis, we are the liaison. we take away the pressure from the reporting person. it is such an important position. we are campaigning actively to make sure we have the service, we will that we have the service, we will start with you them at some places at merseyside, but it is going to be fight to make sure that nationally a fight to make sure that nationally

ican i can now speak to dermatologist professorjohn hawk. have you come across this before? this is new on me. i have been prescribing these products to many thousands of patients, and millions of others, and millions of patients have received them, . improve dry skin received them, to improve dry skin conditions. my first comment... people should not even considered to stop using these. it is notjust used medically, it is almost every ‘ available from the moisturiser available from the shops. this problem, it is one that has come up as an aside. it was warned against, 2007, but it hasn‘t really proved to be any problem. i would indicate that these products

not flammable. you cannot light ‘skin ‘ skin because it ‘skin because it has paraffin on your skin because it has paraffin on it, or the products, the only way that you can have any trouble is if you do have clothing or bedding which you impregnate, by not changing them over several days. and then, if you light yourself, not a wise thing to do, or the bedding accidentally, that would assist that these cause, and betting will burn. assists it only. and you can always burn yourself 5:5 by lighting burn yourself anyway, by lighting bedding and clothing. but if you have got paraffin impregnated over several days, it would be easier. if it and you light one several days, it would be easier. if it- and you light one bit, it does... and you light one bit, smother it. just as you would, any

other way. not dangerous unless used in exceptional circumstances, which none of. patients ever do. do you none of my patients ever do. do you think, given that we have learned about this, especially with elderly patients, we need better warning on these products? i think it is reasonable, and wise, to have the warning, that you should change clothing and bedding. i have always told patients to wipe it off. it soaks-minorwarning. told patients to wipe it off. it soaks. minor warning. it told patients to wipe it off. it soaks i minor warning. it could be soaks in. minorwarning. it could be elderly people, perhaps not able to look after themselves as well, and i know that one of these cases was actually a house fire. the chap had impregnated clothing, and he was at

risk even if he did not have them. i would not want any patients or mothers to think they‘re putting themselves, children, at risk, because they are not flammable except for the most extraordinary circumstances. they just assist the bombing of the products, clothing, if they get lit. just a minor assist. i have tried, just to make sure, and you cannot light them. thank i i just want to give you thank you. i just want to give you an update. we were telling you about that one—year—old boy who has died at finsbury, and his sister, the same age, critical condition. and police have said that the police have said that bidhya sagar das, being sought after that.
