Them. Its now ten years since the publication of a major report into deaths caused by asthma in the uk which made several recommendations to save lives. Since then, however, asthma has killed more than 12,000 people. Thats a rise of nearly a quarter. Our Health CorrespondentSophie Hutchinson has the details. Warren was just ten years old when he died of asthma. He had been playing on a trampoline when he asked for his inhaler and, within minutes, hed stop breathing. His mum, belinda, said nothing could be done to save him. Warren literally was absolutely fine the day that he had his Asthma Attack. He wasnt poorly. There was no underlying symptoms. His Asthma Attack came out of nowhere. Yeah, its just. Escalated to the Point Of No Return and. And warrens asthma was very well controlled. He had it under control. He suffered all his life with asthma and it was something he knew how to deal with himself. Ten years ago, a major review of Asthma Deaths found that two thirds were preventable, and made recommendations to save lives. But, since then, 12,000 people in the uk have died from asthma a rise of almost a quarter. Nearly 70 of people with asthma said they werent receiving basic care, according to a recent survey. And 82 of patients admitted to hospital as an emergency didnt see a gp or asthma nurse within the 48 hours after discharge when they were most at risk of another serious attack. The Department Of Health and social care has said its working to improve services for people with chronic conditions such as asthma and that it would be launching a major strategy to ensure care is centred around the patient.

Millions of people saw their State Pension rise at the start of this month but it wasnt all good news. For many, that meant having to start paying income tax on it. Currently, of the 12. 7 Million People receiving the State Pension last year, more than Eight Million paid income tax. Thats usually people who supplement their State Pension with things like a Part Time Job or a private pension. So who needs to pay income tax on their pension . Our cost of living correspondent Colletta Smith has been to age uk wirral to hunt for some answers. Happy friday afternoon. Getting a little more cash is usually good news, but, this time, its leaving people in a spin. I dont know whether i need to pay tax now or not. You know, we just stump up what people ask us to. I havent got a clue. The answer depends on your circumstances. So let me walk you through the main categories people fall into. If you only get the State Pension, Nothing Changes for you youre still below the £12,570 threshold. If you get a little extra through pension credit, then remember that thats tax free, so wont push you over the threshold. But its still a worry for 90 year old audrey. Luckily, at the moment, i dont pay tax, but im getting close. If theres another big increase next year, it might. Itll tip me over the edge, yes. The vast majority of pensioners get some extra income from a private or work pension or a job. So any income that takes you over the line will be taxed through the paye system taken out before the money even hits your account. Check what tax code youre on, though, to make sure that youre paying the right rate. You should only be paying 20 on anything above that 12,500 point. Have you paid more . Ive paid more tax, yes, i am paying more tax now. Pams just started paying income tax through a private pension for the first time this month. You feel like youve paid so much tax over your working life and, sometimes, youre paying tax on something youve already paid tax on. If you earn more than the personal allowance through something else, like rental income, and you already do a Self Assessment, you should keep doing that tax form. We owed more money this year, because we always owed money, but we owed even more money this year. Because theyve frozen the thresholds. So youve been doing a Self Assessment then, online . Yes. How has that process been for you doing that Self Assessment . Its a bit of a pain, really, but you have to do it. If you earn extra income aside from pensions but havent had to do a Self Assessment yet, then hmrc have told us theres no need for you to start doing one now. If you do owe money, youll be sent a bill at the end of the tax year. You wont get that bill till next july, but youll have till the following january to pay it. If youre on a small income, trying to pay back hundreds of pounds is very difficult. We were lucky in that we were able to ask family for some advice. But i know most people arent in that position. Hmrc say people can call their telephone helpline. We know that people might be worried that they may need to pay income tax for the first time and theyre worried about what they need to do to be able to actually pay that to us. But they really dont need to worry about it at all, because if there is any tax due, we will contact them directly in maybe Thejune Orjuly after the end of the tax year, explaining exactly what they need to do. So, at the moment, they dont need to worry about anything. Now, Hundreds Of Thousands more pensioners are having to work out their next financial steps. Colletta smith, bbc news, in bromborough. Just an update on the story we told you earlier about reports of horses running on the loose in london. There were two horses that were seen, you can see this video of them in central london, one of them seemingly covered in blood. London Ambulance Service are now telling us that four people have been confirmed to be injured. You can see There Horses Running Out Of Control and are heading for people in central london. We are told that four people have been confirmed to be injured. The information coming to us from the london Ambulance Service. The horses are reportedly from the household cavalry, which works at buckingham palace. A bbc reporter who has been to the scene says a Horse Hit A Tour Bus near victoria station. What we dont know at the moment is how many horses were originally involved in this and how many might still be loose in london and what injuries those horses might have. We do know that the two horses have. We do know that the two horses have been caught and they are waiting for a vet to look at them. Obviously a distressing scene in the centre of london, with those horses running loose. We have now had it confirmed that four people have been injured. We have a live page running on the bbc news website and app with the latest on this incident. There are calls for Food Producers to be given greater support in adapting to the extreme weather caused by Climate Change. The agriculture and Horticulture Development board, which monitors crop yields and farming practices, says the price of staples such as bread, potatoes and oil could continue to rise. Farming organisations say more funding needs to go into developing new farming methods. Some farmers have already been adapting, as our Rural Affairs correspondent, lucy vladev, reports with the wettest 18 months on record, its been a battle against the elements for farmers to get food out of Flooded Fields and new crops into the ground. So here weve got 25 hectares of wetland that used to be arable land for Food Production. Greg is one of many farmers facing challenges in the changing weather. Theres a big part of me that all i want to do is produce food. Butl. We are seriously struggling to find the viability in certain areas of the farm. With more regular flooding, hes turned some of his fields into floodplains for wildlife and moved crops elsewhere. We decided it wasnt viable to produce crops on. So, instead, weve decided to allow them to flood and stop draining them stop physically going out and trying to drain them to produce food and instead creating a habitat. At nearby erics farm, a different technique is being used to protect his cattle and crops. So weve planted this hedge. Its 2,000 trees. It will help to slow the flow of water off the field. It will also provide a lot of shelter for the cows, and they also like to eat hedges. So there are many, many benefits. And, as well as physical adaptations, eric is also looking at what he grows to be more resilient. So weve got maybe 70 plants that were growing. I totally understand why most farms will approach this with a ive got three crops. I know how to sell them. Ive got the machinery for them. It makes life simpler, but i think that theres the risk of that going wrong, given Climate Volatility is too great. It may feel far removed from the food that ends up on our plates. But extreme weather is already having an impact on basic ingredients, like oil and potatoes, with prices up and production down. And so the choices made on fields like this impact all of us. But adaptation isntjust limited to how we grow and what we grow science is also playing a role on a microscopic level. As we move along, there are little squares. Each of these squares is a different kind of wheat, and the skanalyzer is taking photographs as it moves along. And its doing these 2a 7. Around 100 breeds of wheat are being tested here at Rothamsted Research centre, looking at Building Diversity within the plant itself. So were trying to anticipate how the climate will change and therefore what wheat will need to look like. And then what we try and do is to breed different kinds of varieties, which will be more adaptable to those different conditions. Its so important notjust because Food Production is worth billions to the uk economy, but now agricultural groups are warning were in a race to adapt to Climate Change or the consequences for ourFood Production could be dire. Its prompted calls from the National Farmers union for better support something the government says theyre already prioritising. I think we are seeing more and more challenges in terms of Weather Patterns and the impact of Climate Change. Thats why the government is investing so much money in trying to mitigate the impact but also futureproof us a bit so investing in new technology. Are we incentivisin
