when it comes to mmr vaccines that the huge issue.r day they reported that as a problem with measles that is europe—wide and as a result of less and fewer people getting vaccines. it's the wakefield cohort. barr, rachel, thank you very much that the papers. a more leisurely one coming up at 1130. do join us again for that, i will be back with the 11 o'clock news and you can see the front pages of the paper is online on the bbc news website. and if you missed this or wa nt to website. and if you missed this or want to watch again any time of the night with a glass of water at the bbci player. i'll be back at 11. thank you. hello, good evening. we have seen cooler, fresher feel across the whole of the uk today. we will take you back to wednesday when the temperature at lincolnshire was 27 celsius. today it was 19 in durham. there was seven celsius. to make it even cooler i think over the coming few days. the cooler fresher air is shown by all this cloud here which is drawing in the showers and those come from behind this band of cloud e

which is to say that mmr vaccine does not cause autism. do two things with that null hypothesis, you can reject it, which is to say when autism follows receipt of mmr vaccine error occurs at a level greater by then by chance law. or you cannot reject it is that when autism follows the vaccine it occurs at a level expected by chance law but you can never accept the null hypothesis which is to say you can never prove never. i think that's difficult. when i was a little boy i used to watch the television show "adventures and superman" starring george reed. george reeves flew, he put his arms out in front of him with his interlocking thumb grip which i thought it was key to the whole navigational experience and he would go to the left, he would go to the right and his cape would fly behind him and he would look at the city's passing and below. when you're five years old, television does not lie. i went to the backyard and i put a towel around myself, this was Ãbi don't know if any of you saw the mr. rogers movie but they talk about this in the

so, obviously the wakefield scandal really hit mmr numbers and it has been difficult to recover fromnd the measles outbreak in europe. and the measles outbreak in europe. it is probably different reasons in europe, the anti— vaccine movement has grown in the us certainly over the last few years. it's an interesting story and interesting to see more analysis of the other areas. we won't talk about it particularly tonight but an interesting story about the conservative saying they don't want the arron banks in the conservative party who is trying to join to try to keep up the pressure over brexit. let's move on to the telegraph, laura, uk women among the top drinkers. the honour, the unique honour, if that's the right word, this is a report from the lancet, the uk is unique in showing there's no difference in the art of alcohol by men and women. although the united kingdom isn't right at the top, we looked it up earlier, it was romanian men i believe who drink the most alcohol. i thought it would be russian but it was romanian. it's unique in that there is no gap between men and women

she did is one as one could do that all the evidence to support the hypothesis that mmr vaccine. but she didn't but she didn't say what she needed which is that it doesn't cause autism but he heard waffling and he got angry you say you cannot tell me it doesn't because you just don't know. but also like she was covering something up you could see the anger although dedicated to the method that hurt her when she tried to communicate to the subcommittee. and the other thing we are up against that in 1901 -- 1982 with those metric school students but in each case they wore a white coat with thick dark rimmed glasses. but that is what was true then. this is often the image that you see. there was an author that wrote a book a book called the dangers of science and elbert einstein as the human symbol and there there are other famous scientists. that is simple and easy to remember formula. and then is a symbol of neutrality and separation from the rest of the world. but now the invisible sign as a shortsightedness off of the mainstream. and then in the worst case to have these monsters

people recall andrew wava, the now disgraced doctor here who went about the link between the mmr jabhere who went about the link between the mmrjab and autism. he came back with a film i think in 2016 which was blocked from attributed in some places in the us. the these rumours and reports that is good conspiracy they go viral on social media now. let's end with what has been a emotional today. the reunion of a handful of a handful of north and south korea is very briefly across the divide. this happens from time to time and is a very moving picture on the front page of the times there. and these are people who have won a lottery ticket to see their relatives who are separated by the divide. ticket to see their relatives who are separated by the dividem ticket to see their relatives who are separated by the divide. it is very emotional but something is very sinister about as well. there have been 20 reunions over the past 18 yea rs, been 20 reunions over the past 18 years, and over the three days, they get to their relatives for a total of 11 hours. they win a can begin to see relati

the project under the mmr included a -- slip marina and that is depicted here. over the year it ranges from 733 linear feet to. [reading] that's the second slide that we have got. the 2006 and 2011eirs were unanimously approved. the marina remained at 400 slips until january 2015 when the treasure island sailing center requested tie make accommodations for it's youth sailing programs. between 2015-2016, tie and tis meant numerous times and reached a compromise reducing the marina from 400 slips to 336 slips utilizing 1093 linear feet of clipper cove. in late 2016, or organizations not affiliated with the sailing center requested changes to the marina and in 2017 treasure island agreed to reduce the marina footprint to 313 slips -- this plan was approved by authority board at it's octobe october 30 meeting, 2017 meeting. certain organizations objected to the size of the authority approved marina project and in response supervisor kim called for further refinement and proposed project. tia met with the stakeholders and suggested further reduction in the size of th

we also know that california state law requires public school children to have that mmr vaccine in orderhool in a public school. i pulled up this website here, called shots for schools. you can check the vaccination rate for your kid's school by kindergarten to seventh grade, the two critical grades where immunizations happen. i used san jose, a lot of green on the map, but the yellow and red maps are charter schools. you'll want to check your schools if your kids don't go to public schools. i posted a link so you can check your neighborhood school. so the good news is that the risk seems lower for public school children because of that vaccine requirement, but you could be at risk as a grown-up if you travel for work or for fun. now, from january to july of this year, 107 people got measles here in california. as you mentioned, 20 other states plus washington, d.c., the symptoms include high fever, cough, a rash, and sometimes what looks to be like pink eye. in some cases, measles can lead to brain damage or even death. and one in 4 people who get measles end up in the hospital. i poste

first mmr religion quads says religious belief and religion expression are too precious to be prescribed by the state. the design of the constitution is the preservation and transmission of the latest and worship and the responsibility and choice emitted to the private sphere, which itself promised freedom to pursue the mission. so just in way establish an official civic religion as a way of avoiding the establishment a more specific creeds, strikes us as a contradiction that cannot be accepted. >> what strikes you from listening to that? >> number one, justice kennedy had a very good -- unique writing style. he really felt a responsibility to explain beyond the legal rule the constitutional principles he is trying to indicate in the decision. number two, you see this strand of all of his decisions, and some respects, reflects the notion of liberty and the notion that if the government is making a choice about what somebody can or cannot say, that is fundamentally impacting the person's ability to be a free person in society. it is interesting how he talks ofut sectarian strands schools
