that union represents around two thirds of uk nurses. also, another union, unite, has also rejected the deal. but several others have said yes. gmb, one of the big ones, as well as unions that represent midwives, ambulance workers and also physiotherapists. whenever we talk about this story, it is important to look at the numbers we are actually talking about. this represents salaries of nurses ranging in speciality. so we have a newly qualified nurse here earning around £30,000. to put that into context, that is less than $40,000 us a year. if we go down to a specialist nurse, like the one we heard from earlier, they are run around £45,000 a year and, in us dollars, that is around 56,000. so those are the salaries we are dealing with. many nurses not happy with that on strike until midnight tonight and that strike action

could continue if the outcome of tomorrow's meeting is not favourable. let's get some of the day's other news now. tributes have been paid to a man stabbed to death near a nightclub on sunday, who police have named as 36—year—old michael allen. he was confirmed dead at the scene close to the eclipse venue in bodmin, cornwall, following reports of a street brawl. seven men and women with suspected stab wounds were taken to hospital. police have been granted more time to question a 24—year—old man in connection with their murder inquiry. hundreds of pension funds have been asked to check whether data was stolen by cyber criminals during a major computer hack earlier this year. the pensions regulator has asked trustees responsible for funds that use capita as an administrator to assess whether clients�* data is at risk. the data includes home addresses and passport images. a pet owner in derby has been forced to apologise after her cat started stealing from her neighbours. harry — the one on the left — has taken all sorts of items including gloves,

underwear and even a purse. his owner says he's taken around £300—worth of stolen goods down the years. as our population ages, the number of people living with dementia continues to increase. the alzheimer's society says more than 225,000 people will develop dementia this year alone, by 2025 a million people will have the condition in the uk. breakfast�*sjohn maguire has been to see first hand the efforts being made to ensure people living with dementia are not left behind. morning! lenny white says, to his knowledge, he was the first specialist barber for people with dementia in the world. he visits care homes across ireland — both sides of the border — with his pop—up shop. there's a barber's pole, a jukebox playing golden oldies, and he sprays the air with lemon cologne to create that distinctive, traditional smell. it's lovely and fresh. of course, there's also chat —

craic, as lenny says — and lots of it. what kind of music would you have danced to years ago, then? every day is different, but i try and install some fun into the day, and they're in for maybe half an hour to the hour, but that will last with them for the rest of that day. you know, they feel good. the care workers are coming in, going, "0ch, jimmy, you look great and you smell good and you might get a girlfriend tonight" — you know, stuff like that. so it really does make them feel good. it makes everybody feel good, you know, whenever you're looking after for somebody. he visits this home on the outskirts of belfast every six weeks or so, and the gents are always pleased to see him. # que sera, sera... he has the music playing and theyl get their proper barber experience. cos sometimes you go up and you might getl something out of them, _ but then once you put the music on, everybody starts to sing, their feet start to tap, i start to clap their hands, - and they reallyjoin in, so they do. do you like danny boy? i do. do you? i do. let me hear you singing it.

# 0h, danny boy # the pipes, the pipes are calling # from glen to glen # and down the mountainside. as well as music, the right type of conversation helps to unlock precious memories. so if they're going to talk about, you know, their mummy and daddy, i'm not going to tell them that their mummy or daddy has passed away and maybe try and talk about something different. so it's bringing the customer back when they were young, and memories of their times gone by. maintain eye contact. so speak to that person. check that they're listening to you. here at hair ritz salon, staff are undergoing dementia—awareness training. the business is owned by a brother and sister — two of five siblings whose mother has dementia. they understand what it means to try to live as full a life as possible. these are the people we love with all our hearts, that have looked after us and treasured us. and here they are now, like little children, and we're just trying to hold on to them, so...

people feel like that. they want to be able to take people out and feel comfortable, and it matters. yeah. you were saying there about mum — whenever we take her out, - you sort of feel like people think she's drunk. - yeah. you know? cos that's... they're just rude. yeah. the relationship between a client and a barber or hairdresser can last a lifetime. decades of stories, secrets, personal details people may never share elsewhere. sometimes clients maybe want to open up to you. it's like a wee sort of session of therapy, and they maybe open up and sort of talk to you about it and sort of say they maybe are scared or they're going through it with somebody else, or maybe they're a carer. i've seen it first—hand with them — like now, dealing with my mum, you know, it's... it's... personal.

yeah, it's a very personal thing. so the training teaches staff how to talk to people with the condition — and, crucially, how to listen. the aim is to tackle social isolation. it's giving people with dementia the opportunity to be involved in everyday life. so we want to make someone still be able to go to the hairdressers or go to the coffee shop or, you know, go and do their shopping. but if we can educate people around them to understand how they behave or the difficulties that they're having, it's a better world for everybody. that's you finished. dementia is complex and nuanced. each person's condition affects them in differing ways, so a better understanding of what's happening, why, and how to behave with people is crucial in ensuring they continue to live with dementia as best they can. john maguire, bbc news, belfast. it's an event that has become known as the "glastonbury for trucks" but after a0 years, the truckfest in peterborough will be shutting up shop. this weekend's festival will be the last of its kind, before it

moves to lincolnshire next year. 0ur reporter tim muffett was there for one last go. i'm afraid to say we can bring you that reportjust now. as i said. let's see if we can bring you the report. lets have one more goal. —— let's have another shot. road haulage with a bit of razzmatazz. truckfest, a ao—year—old annual lorry love—in, inspired back in 1983, by the eurovision song contest. i was sat round at my brother's — my brother being a truck driver, by the way — we were watching eurovision. hejokingly said, "let's do something like this for the truckers." and i remember saying, "do you know, it's a cracking idea, but would they come?" and he said, "colin, i'd go and my pals would all go.

and i think it would be a great idea." it was, of course, a time before social media and mobile phones. we got hold of some cb radios, parked in a lay—by and started talking to the truckers. and really that was the way we got the very, very first one together. the east of england showground in peterborough has hosted truckfest ever since. plans, though, have been submitted to redevelop this site, so truckfest is saying goodbye. other smaller events are held each year across england and scotland. the main truckfest will move to lincolnshire. try and get them looking their best. as alan knows, driving a truck can be a lonelyjob. he's been coming to truckfest for 23 years. you get to meet people and you get to have a chat. things you don't want to do during the week because you're flat—out busy. it's good for morale. all my friends live all over, j

so it's nice to get together. we've got families back at home. we bring the families with us. you know, it's nice just to meet up. the sheer size and power of many of these vehicles has always been impressive to some. but, unlike when truckfest began a0 years ago, some drivers now have their own global fan base. i'm todd dewey, and i'm an ice road trucker. ice road truckers shone a spotlight on the skills required to tackle the toughest terrains. come on, girl. and made driver todd dewey a star. sure, baby. that's it! off the ice! it wasn't just about the trucking. it's about the dangers that we got to go through, the roads we got to travel in order tojust deliver goods for people to survive. when you come to the uk, we have very different driving conditions, and yet i presume you have this kind of bond with drivers and truckers wherever they're from?

yeah, you know what? getting to know other truckers, just like truckers here at the uk, getting to talk with them about stories, and interchange stories on what i did driving, or what they did driving, there's always room to learn. steve graham is risking his truck and his life to board a barge. - steve graham, from australia's 0utback truckers, is another star guest. i it is good to share with people, | you know, the hardships involved in trucking sometimes — - the tyranny of the distances. i mean, back home i had ajob to do, 1,000 kilometres. - the bridge is out at fitzroy, l i had to go 7,290 kilometres to deliver that required water—treatment stuff. j the peterborough one—way system is not quite that bad. on a bad day! mind you, at least when i did my| detour, i can park on top of a hill and maybe have two vehicles go past me during the night. - your lay—bys are so small here, - and trying to get asleep when you're parked alongside a motorway with a constant stream - of traffic whizzing past you, these blokes do it hard. -

it's an industry with many challenges — a shortage of drivers, a lack of roadside facilities — but truckfest aims to celebrate the vehicles and those who drive them, and to leave visitors blown away. finally, thousands of people braved the rain wearing their best tartan, to take part in the glasgow kiltwalk this weekend. led by businessman sir tom hunter, a record—breaking number of walkers trekked a0 miles — raising money for 856 different scottish charities. over the past seven years, the event has raised £37 million. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen. hello there. the colours of spring are starting to come out and to be enjoyed if you are heading out for a walk for the rest of bank holiday monday. but do be aware it's worth taking something waterproof because there'll be a few sharp showers around in central and eastern areas and it's actually quite chilly, particularly in the north. and that cooler air will

filter its way southwards, it's all lagging behind this particular weather front, not especially wet weather on that weather front. it's just that behind it the flow is coming right the way down from the arctic. so we will gradually find that chilly air filtering its way across many northern and eastern areas. ahead of that, even though we are bringing in a few sharp showers, as i say, across central and eastern areas, we'll see increasing amounts of sunshine, though, further west and across the north of scotland as the sky starts to clear here, just four or five degrees in the northern isles for what's left of today, 16 or 17, is around about average for early may in the south. but overnight the cloud comes and goes. i think we will find a little bit of patchy fog developing in southern and western areas, even some sea fog here. but in the north, over the under the clear skies, we're looking at a frost, so farmers and growers beware, it is going to be a cold night, a cold start to our tuesday morning, some fog to clear away as well

for the return to work and quite a bit of cloud first thing. it will tend to break up. things brighten up as we go through the day and to allow some with light winds, some pleasantly warm sunshine to come through the clouds. but again, because the air�*s coming down from the north, it's still quite chilly, particularly near the north sea coast. so temperatures actually a little bit lower than today. and then we've got weather fronts creeping in from the south and west later. but what we will find tomorrow, even though temperatures are a little bit lower, a bit more sunshine, we're going to have high levels of pollen across central and western areas. northern ireland, many central and western parts of wales. now, come wednesday, still quite a bit of cloud mulling around, but perhaps some drier air, some sunnier skies coming in to the south, weather front by that stage, sitting across the north giving some drizzly rain, just ten or 12 here, which is higher because it's milder air that's working around our area of low pressure. so we do start on a chilly note this week and to start may, but we will pull the temperatures up marginally as we go towards the end of the week. but with it, we've got that low

pressure sat to the west throwing showers and unsettled weather across much of the uk set to continue into the weekend.
