deborah's family shared some of her finalthoughts. find deborah's family shared some of her final thoughts. find a life worth enjoying, take risks, love deeply, have no regrets and always, always have no regrets and always, always have rebellious hope. and, finally, check your poo, it could just save your life. dame deborah james, who dame deborahjames, who died at the age of a0. as we've heard, through her podcast and campaigning dame deborah did invaluable work raising awareness of bowel cancer and its symptoms. bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the uk and every year in the uk more than 16,500 people die from the disease. the aim of the fund was to research new treatments, in particular personalised, targeted drugs. 0ur medical editor fergus walsh has been to meet one patient who is part of a trial of a new experimental medicine. i'm leading a normal life, doing things that i didn't think i'd do it again. i feel very lucky. richard condie from surrey was diagnosed with bowel cancer seven years ago. it's since spread to his liver.
1:07 pm
i was told i had about 12 months to go. we've beaten that. in october, he started on an experimental immunotherapy at the royal marsden hospital. the drug, given as a weekly infusion, directs natural killer cells in his immune system to target the cancer. since then, most of his tumours have shrunk. in a small study, a third of patients on this immunotherapy saw their cancer stabilise. but, as with all new drugs, larger trials are needed to assess its effectiveness. well, we've got thousands of drugs in development. the future looks, i think, good. i've seen amazing transformations in cancer care, and we can cure cancers that were hitherto incurable. we can control cancers that we couldn't control. come on, then.
1:08 pm
i'm getting old! these new personalised treatments target genetic markers found in some tumours, like richard's, enabling them to distinguish more easily between healthy and cancerous cells. i'm coping very well. the side effects are minimal. the drugs i had before, chemotherapy, did have some bad side effects in terms of tiredness and suchlike. this is hardly noticeable. he is back to the richard that i knew, years before all of this started. and it's taken the edge off the fact that he has still got it. come on. richard knows that his cancer will eventually get the upper hand. but the four drug trials he's been on have extended his life and helped to discover the cancer treatments of the future. fergus walsh, bbc news, surrey. and fergus walshjoins me.
1:09 pm
that sort of thing that we saw there, that is precisely the sort of work that deborah james wanted there, that is precisely the sort of work that deborahjames wanted all of these millions that have been raised to be spent on? absolutely. there is this _ raised to be spent on? absolutely. there is this shift _ raised to be spent on? absolutely. there is this shift now _ raised to be spent on? absolutely. there is this shift now towards - raised to be spent on? absolutely. i there is this shift now towards more personalised, targeted cancer treatments, ratherthan personalised, targeted cancer treatments, rather than the chemotherapy, which is obviously vital, but also damages healthy tissue as well. now, survival, because of chemotherapy and obviously we must mention surgery, which cures most cancers, where they are cured, that has actually doubled with bowel cancer since the 70s. so, it is heading in the right direction. at another key point that deborahjames direction. at another key point that deborah james wanted direction. at another key point that deborahjames wanted to highlight was early diagnosis. because if you are diagnosed with bowel cancer at stage one, the earliest stage, you have a nine in ten chance of living at least five years, and way beyond that. but if you are diagnosed at stage four, when it has already spread, it is a one in ten chance.
1:10 pm
the biggest risk factor is age. as we saw with deborahjames, people do get it very young, and often they go to their doctor and their symptoms may be dismissed. people have to be persistent. we should talk about their symptoms, persistent. we should talk about theirsymptoms, blood persistent. we should talk about their symptoms, blood in your poo, check your poo, changes in bowel habit, pain in the abdomen, and then there is screening. there is screening in scotland, it is a home poo test that you send off, from the age of 50. in england, it is age 60. that lags behind a lot of other countries. there is an ambition to bring it down to age 50. and survival in the uk is still below the european average. you get some of the best cancer treatment in the world in the uk, but it is still patchy in some areas. fergus, thank ou. patchy in some areas. fergus, thank yon fergus — patchy in some areas. fergus, thank you. fergus walsh. _ crucial talks about nato's future strategy are under way in spain, with leaders of the alliance calling for a united response to russia's invasion of ukraine. president biden has announced that the us will expand its military
1:11 pm
presence across europe — with its forces strengthened across land, air and sea. borisjohnson will urge leaders to dig deeper and increase their military spending. the prime minister described finland and sweden's move tojoin nato as a huge step forward. from madrid, here's our security correspondent frank gardner. well, the last few minutes, the nato summit here in madrid has been addressed virtually by ukraine's president zelensky. he said that his country needs up to 5 billion euros every month in order to sustain its war effort against russia. and that is just a war effort against russia. and that isjust a reminder of war effort against russia. and that is just a reminder of how costly this war is, notjust for russia and ukraine, but also for the west. for now, here in madrid, it has all been about unity. a show of unity for leaders of the world's most powerful military alliance. russia's invasion of ukraine has upended nato's plans and forced it to obtain a new deterrence strategy.
1:12 pm
president biden is sending major us reinforcements to europe, including destroyers, warplanes, and thousands of extra troops to romania. were going to approve a new nato strategic concept and reaffirm the unity and determination of our alliance to defend every inch of nato territory. and article sis sacrosanct, and we mean it when we say it, an attack against one is attack against all, every inch. nato is about to get two new members, finland and sweden, adding two modern militaries to the alliance after turkey dropped its opposition to theirjoining. russia had earlier warned there would be consequences. vladimir putin was hoping that he would be getting less nato on his western front as a result of his unprovoked, illegal invasion of ukraine. he's been proved completely wrong, he's getting more nato. this is a historic summit in many ways, but we've already got two new members coming in,
1:13 pm
finland and sweden, a huge step forward for our alliance. less than three years ago, french president macron suggested that nato was braindead. but russia's war on ukraine has galvanised this alliance and given it a new sense of purpose. we meet in the midst of the most serious security crisis that we have faced since the second world war, and we see that allies are able to demonstrate unity, that we see an alliance which is responding in a strong and unified way. the big buzzword at this nato summit is "unity" — all 30 nato members are keen to present a united front to show their support for ukraine and their condemnation of russia's invasion. but privately there are differences of opinion — not every country is prepared
1:14 pm
to stay the course and see all russian forces expelled from all of ukraine. there are others who will be prepared to settle for a compromise that sees an inconclusive end to this war. frank gardner, bbc news, madrid. ukraine says russia fired eight missiles at a city in the south of the country, killing three people in a residential building. it comes as president zelensky released cctv of the moment a missile struck at a shopping centre in kremenchuk — an attack which killed at least 18 people on monday. he said it was a deliberate strike designed, to kill as many people as possible. from kyiv, joe inwood has sent this report. it is hard to deny — this cctv footage clearly shows the missile that struck a shopping centre in kremenchuk in mid—flight. compare that to the russian version of events. "detonation of stored western weapons
1:15 pm
and ammunition caused a fire," the spokesman says, "in a nearby non—functioning shopping mall." but analysis of the footage by open—source investigators has proved it was a direct hit on the amstor complex. the tower and container can be seen here and here on recent satellite imagery. the shopping centre is visible in both. there are a number of other features identified by the investigators. president zelensky maintains it was a terrorist act. translation: the russian missile hit this location - precisely, deliberately. it is clear those were the orders given. it is clear that russian killers received those exact coordinates for this missile. they wanted to kill as many people as possible in a peaceful city, in an ordinary shopping mall. as the clean—up continues, the remnants of destroyed shops are everywhere. as well as denying it was a missile responsible for this devastation, russia also claims the centre
1:16 pm
was not in use when it struck. the number of victims suggests that is not true. translation: it's - terrible beyond words. how many people were there? it was rush hour, people were returning from work. lots of shops, there were always a lot of people in amstor. the british ministry of defence has since said there is a realistic possibility was intended to hit a nearby infrastructure target — but missed, with devastating consequences for the people of kremenchuk. in this war, russia has often been accused of lying — rarely has it been so clearly demonstrated. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv. a man has appeared in court charged with the murder of zara aleena, who was attacked as she walked home from a night out in east london in the early hours of sunday morning. she was found with serious head
1:17 pm
injuries and died later in hospital. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is at thames magistrates�* court. daniel. yes, zara aleena's family described her this morning as a carefree spirit with the most caring heart. they talked about her glorious laughter and her tiny frame, embodying a passionate spirit and indomitable energy. they said, she walked everywhere, she put her party shoes in her bag and donned her trainers, she believed a woman should be able to walk home. now her dreams of a family are shattered, how future brutally taken. well, this afternoon, just in the last hour, a 29—year—old man from dagenham, jordan mcsweeney, appeared here at thames magistrates court, wearing a police issued grey tracksuit and was told he was charged with the murder of zara aleena in ilford in the early hours
1:18 pm
of sunday morning. he is also charged with attempted rape and the robbery of her case, her mobile phone, and her handbag. he gave no indication of plea, and he was remanded in custody until a bail hearing at the old bailey on friday morning. daniel sandford, thank you. the time is 1:18. our top story this lunchtime: tributes to the cancer campaigner dame deborahjames, who's raised millions for charity, following her death at the age of a0. the number of holiday lets has risen by a0% in three years, and there's concern people are being forced out of their local areas. coming up on the bbc news channel... emma raducanu leads the way on day three at wimbledon, with british players set to break a record in what is the best home performance in a quarter of a century.
1:19 pm
climate advisers have described as shocking the government's lack of commitment to insulating people's homes. the criticism is contained in the annual review of the climate change committee, which looks at the progress of ministers in curbing harmful emissions. the government said the uk is "leading the world" on climate change. the committee says unless policies are radically improved, the government will need to try another tack, by persuading people to fly less and eat less meat. it criticises a lack of policy to insulate homes, saying households would be saving £a0 a year on bills if previous insulation policies hadn't been scrapped. but it congratulates ministers on promoting electric cars, even though it says more charging points and more electric vans are needed. here's our environment analyst roger harrabin. welcome to the overheating world.
1:20 pm
temperatures breaking records. wildfires rage in california. injapan, people asked to sit in the dark so there is enough power for aircon. all the temperature records are boosted by emissions of carbon and methane from industrial society. the uk government is praised for having a plan to curb emissions across the whole of the economy, but there's a catch. the committee says a third of those plans look believable, a quarter might work with a bit of luck, but a third of plans are so bad that the government looks likely to break its climate targets. the chair of the committee, lord deben, says we're not moving fast enough to avert catastrophic climate change. the government has got the right targets, its setting a world lead in what it wants to do. but it has not yet got a programme in place which will deliver those targets for climate change and for reducing people's costs.
1:21 pm
campaigners have been protesting at the government's failure to insulate homes, which saves on bills as well as cutting emissions. the committee agrees the government's record on insulation is shocking. farms are the other big problem in the uk. the committee says the government is guilty of magical thinking that emissions from farming will be cut without new policies. and there's a warning for the government. the committee says, if ministers can't cut emissions from farming and from homes, they're going to have to try other measures, like persuading people to eat less meat or fly less — and this government will not want to do that. it's not totally bad news. ministers are praised for promoting renewables to cut emissions and bring bills down. and electric cars are a success, even though there are not enough chargers. critics say the committee has given
1:22 pm
the government an easy ride. it's kind of ironic that the climate change committee has called this a progress report, when in reality it's clear that the government is making anything but progress towards achieving climate targets. the government says the uk is a world leader in cutting emissions. the committee agrees that says it's still not moving fast enough to keep up with climate change. roger harrabin, bbc news. a verdict is expected today in the trial of 20 men accused of involvement in the islamist attacks in paris in november 2015. gunmen killed 130 people in locations across the french capital including bars, restaurants, the national football stadium and the bataclan concert hall. the trial, in a specially built courtroom, has lasted more than nine months. for many towns and villages, tourism is vital to the local economy, but it can come at a cost
1:23 pm
to those who live there. a bbc investigation has found that the number of holiday lets in england has risen by a0% in the past three years, and there are concerns locals are being pushed out of some areas as a result. helen catt is on the north devon coast. tell us more about what this research has found, helen. well, the bbc got figures from 152 councils across england, and we ask them to tell us how many properties in the area they knew where holiday lets. the result suggested a a0% increase across england overall, but it also suggested that some of the tourist hotspots where there were already very high numbers of holiday lights had seen further significant increases. now, mps and campaigners have been raising concerns for a while now that rising numbers of holiday lets, while really good for tourism, were eroding communities and making it harderfor local paper
1:24 pm
to find places to live. it is a situation that is particularly acute here in north devon. they come to croyde for the sea, the sand and the surf. tourism isn'tjust welcome in north devon, it's vital. for us, it's everything. it's literally how we operate as a business. we pretty much only open through march until the end of october, that is the tourist season. there is nothing here in winter, really. the pandemic boosted staycationing in places like this, and the number of holiday lets has grown, too — by too much, say some locals. if we are standing here, give me a sense of scale, looking down this road. looking down this road, you have three holiday lets there, a further two there. there's a further three right in front of us. charlotte bater grew up in the village of georgeham, a mile or so from croyde. she and her children have moved back in with her parents because she can't find anywhere to rent. it does put a whole stop on your life. you can't plan anything. everything comes back to, "well, we don't know where we're going to be living."
1:25 pm
charlotte's friend emma set up a campaign group after she too was served with a no—fault eviction notice. ijust think it's really unfair that in an area where you've grown up, and you've lived, you've been part of the community, you've been to school, all your friends and family are here, to feel that you're being pushed outjust so somebody can have a holiday or somebody can have a second home just doesn't really resonate as fair. figures obtained by the bbc show that, here in north devon, the number of holiday lets went up by a third in a period of three years, up to november last year. but this isn'tjust an issue that's facing the south west of england. other tourist hotspots across england are facing similar issues. in scarborough, which includes the resort of whitby, the number of holiday lets rose by a3%. 0n the isle of wight, the number went up by 39%. and they have been significant rises in norfolk, including in great yarmouth, where there was an increase of aa%. high saturations of holiday lets
1:26 pm
can also have a knock—on for local businesses, like here in keswick, in the lake district. there aren't enough local people here to work in businesses, because they can't live here. if they can't live here, they can't work here. the community is crumbling, and it's a crisis. the government is now launching a long promised call for evidence on the impact of holiday lets in england. there's many benefits to having more accommodation provision in the uk, so we want to get the right balance. and one of the options is to licence accommodation, you know, at one extreme. or we could end up doing nothing. and we want to get the evidence base together in order to decide what to do. the challenge for ministers will be finding a balance between harnessing the economic benefits without communities feeling like they're being washed away. helen catt, bbc news, north devon. mexico's president andres manuel lopez 0brador has said "poverty and desperation" led to the death of at least 50
1:27 pm
migrants found abandoned in a lorry in texas on monday. the lorry was found on the outskirts of the city of san antonio, which is a major transit route for people smugglers. 16 other people, including four children, were found alive inside the vehicle. the nhs app in england is to be updated to offer people more personalised care. by march next year, all users will be able to receive messages from their gp and to view and manage some hospital appointments. by 202a, the app should offer face—to—face video consultations. the health secretary welcomed the move as part of the government's plan for digital health care. today, we're launching a digital revolution for the nhs and care through this new plan. i want patients to have, you know, effective and quick access for their health needs at their fingertips, and that's not only better for them, in terms of outcomes, but it's betterfor the nhs, it will save time and it will save money.
1:28 pm
the health secretary, sajid javid. last night, seven—time wimbledon singles champion serena williams was knocked out in the first round by french player harmony tan. and today it's a busy day for british interest as the second round gets under way with sir andy murray live now to wimbledon and emma raducanu among those in action. live now to sw19 and our correspondent there, daniela relph. the sun is out after a couple of miserable hours here at wimbledon. it was one of those wimbledon late night's yesterday as serena williams desperately tried to stay in the tournament. there were moments of brilliance from her, but in the final set, harmony tan from france beat one of the greatest ever players. will we see serena back here at wimbledon again? she herself says she's just
1:29 pm
not sure at this stage. but still in the mix and playing this afternoon are emma raducanu and andy murray, and both face challenging opponents. caroline garcia, a former world number four who won emma raducanu is back on centre court to play caroline garcia, a former world number four who won a tournament on grass in germany last week. so very much in—form, and a challenge for emma raducanu. and then it's a game of wimbledon veterans — 35—year—andy murray against 37—year—old americanjohn isner. murray will have to find a way to cope with this giant serve of isner, a man trying to break the record for the most aces ever served by one player during their career, currently on 13,000. 0h, oh, my goodness, thank you very much, that is daniela relph in sw19,
