news, wejust hearing, following the death of ian brady last night, one of the moors murderers in ashworthinto his death, and the coroner, the senior coroner, christopher sumner, has said that ian brady's body will not be released until assurance has been given that his ashes will not been given that his ashes will not be scattered on saddleworth moor, this is where he and myra hindley buried four of their five victims, on saddleworth moor, a fifth victim, keith bennett, who it is thought is also buried on saddleworth moor, his body was never recovered, and it looks as though the coroner is keen not to add further misery to the families, and he has said that the body will not be released until he has been given assurances that the ashes will not be scattered on saddleworth moor. that had not been an issue, it is suspected that a meeting with ian brady's solicitor yesterday morning, in the hours before he died, may have resulted in his final wishes as to his resting place being discussed, but that has not been confirmed. but we will bring you more on that as soon as we get it. inflation has

so, this morning, john ashworth announced that we would stop the intensive advertising of unhealthy faircumstances and grow up as healthy as possible, because every child that is undernourished or obese, or both, actually becomes quite often the heart patient of the future, the cancer patient of the future, the cancer patient of the future, the cancer patient of the future, the diabetic of the future. it's about how we treat everybody in our community. sol it's about how we treat everybody in our community. so i am very proud of our community. so i am very proud of our pledge, our pledge that a labour government would ensure that every child in every primary school get a free meal every day, eaten together. cheering eaten together, because children grow up together, and let's look at education as the greatest opportunity for all of our children. but, under this tory government, so many schools around the country, head teachers in a terrible state of stress and distress because they have got to decide which teacher to sack, which teaching assistant to sack, which teaching assistant to s

shadow health secretaryjon ashworth being taught how to make a smoothie by pupils at a london school, obesity. we want to have the healthiest children in the world. now, yes, that's an ambitious target but to be frank, i'm ambitious for the children of this country. our children deserve the best. labour's election pledge is ambitious. it's promising to halve the number of overweight children within ten years, to set up a £250 million fund to pay for nurses and counsellors in schools and to ban junk food adverts from all tv programmes before the 9pm watershed. that would affect shows including the x factor and britain's got talent which are popular with children. labour says it would reduce their exposure to junk food adverts by 82%. it's a laudable idea but i can't see it making much difference, to be honest. the stuff's still in the supermarkets, it's still in the shops. i don't think it will make a whole lot of difference. i ain't got a problem with it. i think the kids are eating too much junk anyway. it will probably help, yeah. if it's not in their heads they probably won't go lo

labour's jon ashworth today at a meeting with activists in west yorkshire, argues the process has beenures and has caused widespread concern and confusion. let's just halt them, let's just have a moratorium on them and step back and have a full review of them and when we reiew them let's involve the clinicians, but let's involve the people as well, the public, because so far they've been cut out of the decisions and we don't think that's fair. the conservatives said labour had previously backed the plans which were supported by senior doctors and nurses. the lib dems said the purpose of the process was good but the conservatives had starved the plans of the required funding. hugh pym, bbc news. let's talk about this a little bit more, though strong comments from theresa may about the process of brexit talks and her comments about some officials in europe simply not wanting the talks to succeed. kevin connko wanting the talks to succeed. kevin connolly is in brussels. what reaction are you starting to hear from everything that theresa may has been saying? very strong words of course fro

jon ashworth and i have been discussing this. a few very quick things i wanted to say to you.y we want parity of esteem between physical and mental health, i absolutely mean it. i want to end the stigma surrounding mental health, but invest in the mental health, but invest in the mental health, but invest in the mental health services so that people don't suffer in silence and suffer alone, and, some, people don't suffer in silence and sufferalone, and, some, sadly, take their own lives because they feel a sense of hopelessness and that they have been left behind. we, as a community, will invest in mental health services. we will do the same for our social care services. there are more than 1 for our social care services. there are more thani million people waiting for social care to be provided for them. that is not right. if the government can do sweetheart deals for surrey, how about making us all a sweetheart and all of us getting the same deal? jeremy corbyn said he needed to save his voice because he had to give that speech again. he came outside, because there were so m

but in 1985, he was transferred to ashworth, a high—security hospital.son, who spoke to me before she died. i want it coming to an end, and i want keith found. i've asked him before. when i found out that i'd got cancer, and i said, "i want to know where keith is before anything happens to me." winnie often went to the moors and never gave up hope that her son would be found. the police say that virtually every week someone gets in touch touch purporting to be able to lead them to keith, but they're not actively searching the moors at the moment. they say though that they'll never close the case, and ian brady's death doesn't change that. yesterday, knowing his death was imminent, brady called his solicitor to see him. they spent two hours together. i don't think there was anything he really knew or had any information that would assist in the location of keith bennett's body. did brady say anything which would give the families of the victims any comfort? no. today, a coroner said that brady's ashes must not be scattered across these moors. bad enough t

let's talk to the shadow health secretary, jonathan ashworth. good morning to you, mr ashworth. on tv, it is about what parents do, it is about physical activity, it is about the availability and the price of food. yes, there are a number of factors contributing to the obesity crisis but what i am saying today is our ambition should be nothing less than having the healthiest children in the world. when you look at all the different indicators, we are falling down the league tables compared to other western, wealthy countries. and obesity is becoming a real crisis. 0ne countries. and obesity is becoming a real crisis. one in five children starting primary school overweight, one in three children leaving primary school of these, and ultimately obesity is costing the nhs now £6 billion. so every viewer who pay their taxes is paying for this obesity crisis. so we think one of the big, big initiatives we can take, it is not the only initiative, but one of the initiatives we can ta ke but one of the initiatives we can take is to ban the advertising of junk food. we have already banned

so whatjohn ashworth will do when he becomes the health secretary is suspend the sustainability and transformatione is another aspect to it. if we continue this underfunding of social care, and if the government cannot give an a nswer and if the government cannot give an answer on how much they are going to ta ke answer on how much they are going to take out of somebody‘s value of their home or anything else, then i suggest people look at the labour alternative which is to put money in now to end the crisis in social care. and develop a national social ca re care. and develop a national social care service. care. and develop a national social ca re service. because care. and develop a national social care service. because as with all aspects of public cuts, public spending cuts and austerity, who pays the price? the purest and most vulnerable. who pays the price? who has to give up theirjob? caring for someone, a disabled child or older person suffering dementia or many other conditions, it's almost always the women in the household who had to give up theirjobs, lives and careers to care for peopl

the company announced yesterday it is selling its golf brands, taylor made, adams golf and ashworth for. adidas will continue to use progolfers like dustin johnson and sergio garcia to sell clothing and shoes, but revenue from the golf business declined from 1.$1.7 billion in 2012 to 0 $500 million last year. i don't know what that says about golf, the sales of these things. i wish kernen was here. i own a pair of adidas golf shoes, are they collector's items or no longer cool? >> i think it's the taylor made brand. the shoes may be okay. >> the shoes may be okay? >> i think. this decision follows a similar move from nike last year. i guess it speaks to how difficult the golf business is now. >> it's not a growth industry. all these millennials are not necessarily playing golf. >> you have to find how can it change? play nine holes, ways to shorten the game. >> i want golf to be easier. that's all. >> i want it to be shorter in time. >> shorter. >> and easier. >>> vladimir putin taking part in an annual tradition, playing in a gala hockey game in sochi last night. he showed off his skil
