is here today and focus of research is here today and yesterday. imagine having a seizure in public, and instead of people coming to help, they avoid you because they think you're drunk, or even try to steal from you. that's the reality for people with epilepsy, according to new research, which looks at how seizures in public are impacting people with the condition. today, a charity is launching a campaign to highlight how we should deal with someone having a seizure. tim muffett reports. in myself i feel very sick, very dizzy. my breathing becomes a bit more shallow. i suck air in. whilstjogging in this field in east sussex, simon knew an epileptic seizure was imminent. my tongue is gone, my eyes have gone, i can't move. and this is where the big seizure, it happened. so, i lost consciousness. and the next thing i can remember was a dog walker. he didn't know i was

having a seizure. that is a common reaction, as simon knows all too well. he has had epileptic seizures since he was seven. it's like a volcano. you are waiting to explode. a lot of people don't know how to react. i have gotten to the stage of wanting to take my own life. the dog walker who found simon did call an ambulance. but the charity epilepsy action says many with the condition are often dismissed as being drunk or on drugs. in a survey for the charity, others reported being robbed or physically assaulted while having a seizure. electrical activity happens in our brains all the time, as brain cells send messages to each other. an epileptic seizure happens when there is a sudden burst of electrical activity that temporarily disrupt the way the brain works. i don't want to worry you.

it'sjust, i think... i'm about to have a seizure. this video has been made to help explain what to do if somebody with epilepsy believes a seizure is imminent. first, put on my head with something soft to protect me from injury. all set? people always see someone having a seizure and they think, call 999. but i think between having the seizure and calling 999 they don't know what to do and panic a little bit. 17—year—old morgan lives in grimsby and has epilepsy. we have arranged a zoom call with simon so experiences have been shared. it took me ages to speak about it. that was probably my own doing. i think maybe this might be a generational thing. yeah. i've never really felt that sort of stigma around growing up with epilepsy.

i am preparing to go to uni soon. morgan, make sure you keep that confidence. has that been useful? very important to have hope and to have someone who tries never to let epilepsy affect him. i find that really inspirational. i think being younger is a lot more scary. l medication and brain surgery have helped simon, but it is his family who are its greatest strength. his daughter evie and mum debbie are with him today. you are much more. positive, aren't you? if epilepsy was better understood they are convinced the lives of those with the condition would significantly improve.

from one of his radio heroes. harrison holmes has cerebral palsy, but that hasn't stopped him from hosting his own hospital radio show each week in barrow—in—furness. steve saul went to meet him and had a very special surprise for him from radio 2's michael ball. hello, mate, how are you? good. what songs are you going to play for us tonight? thank you. thank you very much. he just belongs. he was in his absolute element, because he really, really- struggles to express himself. harrison doesn't let his cerebral palsy get in the way of his passion. he hosts a weekly show at radio lonsdale in barrow—in—furness. harrison is really taking well to learning the equipment. he's not letting his disabilities at all be a barrier. _ the station's at furness general, where harrison was once a patient. my eldest son used to play

the violin while he was in the incubator to keep him happy, and i think that was his first taste of music. that's what kept him going every day, you know, just the music. what about your dreams? well, i think i can do something about that. harrison thinks we're here to talk to him about volunteering at hospital radio. but little does he know we've got a really big surprise planned for him. i think this is a - lifelong dream of his. it really is a dream come true. so we're ever so grateful for what you're doing. i right, time to let the cat out of the bag. a little birdie has told me that you really like michael ball and bbc radio 2. is that right? yes. well, i have a special message to play you, if you want to watch this. hi, there.

it's michael ball here. now, i've been hearing all about this amazing presenter on radio lonsdale at furness general in barrow. harrison holmes — you i'm talking about. i've heard all about you. you're passionate, you're entertaining, you're kind, and you're a real character. well, i'd like you to show me how it's done. so i'm going to invite you tojoin me here on bbc radio 2, right here in wogan house in london. does that sound like a plan? yeah. great. i think you're an inspiration, young man. i can't wait to meet you. god bless. wow! goodness me! harrison? you get to see michael ball! it's better than winning the lottery, because harrison, he's been so poorly, he wasn't meant to survive. he came home on a ventilator at aged eight months to die around his family. but actually, when he got home, he just thrived.

he's had 28 operations. he's had such a really hard start in life, but you would never know it. he's wanted this dream for years and years, and it'sjust unbelievable it's happening. # love, love changes everything # hands and faces, earth and sky. # and it certainly sounds like michael ball might have some competition. steve saul, bbc news, barrow—in—furness. if you think you have trouble with traffic on the morning commute, check out this scene on a michigan highway that looks like it's straight out of a film. yes, that's a cowboy who was called into action by the state police,

to lasso a runaway cow after wranglers struggled to capture it. you'll be pleased to know, the animal is safe and has not been charged with a crime. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. maybe you've seen a really nice sunset or sunrise over the last 2a hours, like this one from warwickshire. now, a lot of the cloud you can see here is actually aeroplane contrails. yes, the water that aeroplane engines check out, the back of the engines can make these contrails. and when there's a lot of moisture in the atmosphere seven miles up where the planes fly, those contrails can persist and last for a long time, giving those beautiful sunrise and sunset pictures. now, those contrails are starting to move away towards france and the air is getting drier seven miles up in the atmosphere. and so you're less likely to see those contrails hang around quite so long today. and weatherwise this afternoon, for most of us, a lot of sunshine.

there's a bit more cloud on this very weak weather front. for west scotland, northern ireland, you might see the odd a bit of rain, but for the vast majority it's a dry and fine afternoon with long spells of sunshine. feeling warm in that strong may sun. temperatures high teens to low twenties. now, overnight tonight, a few patches of cloud drifting southwards, but for many we'll keep the clear skies. temperatures very similar to recent nights, 7 to 9 degrees your overnight low. bit colder than that across parts of northern scotland in shelter. then we've got more of the same over the next few days. high pressure stays with us. the winds coming around that in a clockwise sense. so the winds coming off the atlantic and that means temperatures aren't really going to change that much. thursday, another fine day then. 0k, there could be a little bit more in the way of fine cloud across central and eastern areas of england, but not really spoiling things much at all. and the same is true perhaps for northern ireland. temperatures high teens to low 20s, probably peaking at about 23 degrees for south and east wales, the south west midlands, south west england. butjust a reminder, how does that compare compared with recent warm spells in may?

well, it puts us pretty much bottom of the pile. often our warm spells at this time of year result in temperatures into the mid to high twenties. so it's not that warm, really. on into friday's forecast, another dry day, perhaps a bit more cloud just running into the far north of scotland. could see an odd bit of rain from that, but again, not very much at all. for most, it's dry, temperatures again reaching the low twenties in the warmest spots. now heading into the bank holiday weekend, that high pressure continues to dominate the weather picture so it stays dry for most. i think there'll be a tendency for temperatures to rise a bit further. so more of us seeing temperatures getting into those low twenties. feeling warm in the may sun.
