health officials say we need 95% to have the mmr vaccine to protect the public. but at 87% rates in englandto start making sure we are out there. if people listen to celebrities, maybe we will have to work with celebrities, because many of them get the science as well. we will have to look at how we can communicate and see if we can be a bit more modern. there are some examples of good science on social media. measles is one of the most infectious illnesses... and sites like youtube and facebook say they are trying to reduce the ranking of false information about vaccines. that was a month before i got measles. jane stanton has retired early because of her health. it started 30 years ago when she got measles. it left her with scar tissue on her brain and she has had epilepsy ever since. 18 months ago i ended up in three orfour induced comas, one for over a week. measles has made my life hell. i would hate anyone else to go through that. just for a simple injection. but others are going through it. the world health organization has named vaccine hesitancy as one of the greatest global threat

public consultation, and have been backed by doctors. the department of health and social care says one—in—three children leave primary school overweight or obese. police response times to urgent calls at two of england'sforces, have become significantly slower in the past five years, according to a freedom of information request by bbc 5 live investigates. in some areas, the average length of time victims have to wait has nearly doubled. presenter adrian goldberg joins us now. there is a general 15 minute time for responding to what is called grade one emergencies. this is where there is a risk to life or serious harm to health. in the west midlands, we found the average response time has gone over a five year period of from ten minutes to i9 year period of from ten minutes to 19 minutes that they are missing out on their targets. it is gone from seven to 12 minutes so they are still within the target but it has nearly doubled within that period. looking at other forces like west and south yorkshire, in other cases where they failed to meet that 15 minute target has significantly increased. the home office had said there is extra funding coming but also interesting, you weren't able to get the figures

as we‘ve been told, again and again, by public health england that there are no concerns, i say by publicd. a new study has nay been ordered and more health screenings. maltese special forces have taken control of a ship that had been hijacked by migrants. they had been trying to get to europe, the ship has now been brought into the island‘s main port. over 100 migrants including women and children, had been rescued by the vessel off the libyan coast on tuesday night. but some feared being taken back to libya and took over the ship. it‘s two weeks since cyclone idai cut a devastating path through swathes of south—east africa. in mozambique, it‘s estimated almost two million people have been affected by the resulting floods. the un world food programme says idai has wiped out a year‘s worth of crops in the region. the major fear now for authorities is an outbreak of cholera. our correspondent nomsa maseko sent this report from the port city of beira. two weeks after the devastating cyclone struck, people who lost everything are beginning the slow task of rebuilding their shattered lives. a

reach agreement on games and all of that social development and all of the experts, the nhs public health englandn a children's lives just treating the symptoms. i appreciate your passion for this, because the campaign you're in, but you're not saying the junk food doesn't contribute to obesity. things like poor choices in food and drink should go into the rest of it. i'm not saying it doesn't, but interestingly, our calorie intake has gone down and not gone up, some people seem to be eating less sugar anyway. but the problem is if you keep going at the symptoms, you will leave children still having unhealthy lives. changing the formulation of synthetic rather than sugar will not give them every day healthy exercise, it would not give them healthy every day play, taking turns, learning to make decisions, it is scratching at the surface, it is pretty ineffective and won't deal with the real causes of the problems we've got. the duke and duchess of cambridge have led a minute's silence to pay their respects to the 50 people who died as a result of the new zealand mosque attacks. the couple joined t

public health england is calling on schools to work with parents to tackle the issue, saying the worke dennis reports. it's not really something that, like, i've been told about, like a lot of people in my community. most of the time it's like white people talknig about it. there wasn't really anybody around to actually talk to. people were just saying get it. schoolgirls across britain, like these students in bristol, are offered the hpvjab in year8and year9. but health officials have noticed that girls from white backgrounds are much more likely to have the jab than girls from ethnic minority backgrounds. i'm investigating why that is and why it matters. human papilloma virus is a very common virus which affects men and women. in fact, over 99% of cervical cancer cases are caused by the hpv virus. most people can be exposed to the virus when they become sexually active. that is the reason why the vaccination is offered to teenagers in school. so why wouldn't people want the jab? natalia, a motherfrom north london, did not want her 14—year—old daughter to have the jab. i think with t
