and, rachel, if you want to talk about that. the majority of people now expect delays in nhs treatments. almost half of people, according to pauline, think the service is getting worse and six in ten state the appointment waiting times are unreasonable. these don't tell us more. , , . unreasonable. these don't tell us more. , , unreasonable. these don't tell us more, , , ., unreasonable. these don't tell us more. , , ., ,, more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried _ more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried out _ more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried out by _ more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried out by new- more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried out by new golf - more. this is a pile for the sunday times carried out by new golf and | times carried out by new golf and siting the figures you just said. people have no companies are getting treated on time. people feel the service has worsened in the last 12 months. they are right. all we are hearing in the news the last few months has been people waiting for emergency care, ambulances back to outside hospitals, huge waiting lists for people awaiting treatment and i'm sure many people anxious
see how happy it is, it doesn't matter what you look like, what shape you are, you can pick up a bar and do it. on the final night, northern ireland got their hands on some gold, the six time paralympic champion bethany firth adding a commonwealth title to her collection, the 200 metre freestyle. england's ben prout took gold over 50 metres and medley. finally, if you everfancy competing at the games, rosemary lenton proved it is actually never to late. she took up bowls after retiring and at the age of 70 21 gold for scotland in the women's para— pairs with her partner pauline will send they have a combined age of 130, not many competitors can say they won gold with a grandchild in attendance. inspirational. we've seen history made more than once already here,
their children had siblings. any louise wise adoptee from the 605 has every right to think perhaps they have a twin. the separated twins were placed in a controversial study to explore what makes us who we are, and how much is defined by nature versus nurture. but at what cost? it's so emotional for me. what they did was so| unethical, so amoral. stories of twins have long captured human imagination. there is something beguiling about having an identical copy of yourself, and the resulting bond that would create. hi. hello. which one's which? i'm pam. i'm pauline. identical twins share all their genes having split from a single fertilised egg in the first two
it takes a certain environment to bring that out. we all have genes that will be expressed given a particular environment. sometimes gene expression can occur in one twin, and not the other, and this can create differences between them. these environmental differences that trigger different gene expressions might even start in the womb. it doesn't mean we're set in stone, that we can't change. describe to me how you complement each other? although you are identical, i and that bond is always there, you have your own opinionsj and your own personalities. pauline had one half- of the bedroom and i have the other, hers was all pristine and dusted, i and mine was like a tip. i was very girly and - she was very tomboyish. i was more academic, pam was dyslexic, we didn't
thank you very much. to try to understand the unique relationship twins have, i went to visit pauline and pamela, identicaltwins who grew up together in east london. i can look at her and i know what she's thinking. yeah. and i know what she is feeling. yeah. and if it is something funny then, that's it. you can't do a thing with us, can you? and tell me a bit more about what your unique bond is like. it's so hard to describe, but our lives, because of the virtue that we are twins, i think it's more entwined. it is like you are the other half. we have always said that. i think that is right. we knew we started off as one and then we split. and it feels like that. we look so alike i cannot tell us apart, could you? no. me and my shadow, it is unique and we're lucky to have it. what was it like growing up with an identical twin? we always knew when there
my answer to that is no, they're not. and the rarer they are, the more i believe it is somehow tied to their genes and how that interacts with their environment to produce these kinds of unusual similarities. this is certainly the case for pauline and pamela, who mirror each other in extraordinary ways. i always knew she was pregnant more or less at the same time i she did, because i always used to get the pregnancy arthritis l in my fingers. she used to come to me and say, "you're pregnant aren't you?" - we do sort of mirror each other, and it is bizarre. . when people hear about twin studies, and how much nature seems to be genetically determined, does that take away from our own sense of agency or our own control? it is very important to appreciate that genes do not work in determinative ways, they are predisposed, but they do not provide the final word. just because you have a gene, doesn't mean it will always be expressed.
