gb off to a winning start. thank you, andy swiss in tokyo. i the elderly and adults living with disabilites in england, are facing a steep rise in the amount of money they have to pay local councils, towards their care. new research from the bbc shows the extra costs could total thousands of pounds every year for some individuals. the councils blame funding cuts, but the government says it's put extra money into the care system. here's our social affairs correspondent alison holt reports. these are the things that make a huge difference to saskia's life — her football and her own flat. she has a learning disability and to live independently, she relies on help from her local council. i get support workers coming in to support me and cook. if it wasn't for them coming in, i would have struggled big time. her mum looks after her finances. this was my appeal against the increased charges. she was horrified when the amount saskia was expected to contribute to her care from her benefits suddenly increased from £92 a month to more than £500 a month.

and it needs more money, it needs proper reform. this is simply wrong, that people who are the least well off in society are being expected to make up the shortfall, when this money should come from government. directors of council care services say after years of austerity, their finances are so tight they face really tough decisions. it is not what local authorities would choose to do, but increasingly we are just running out of options. we need to stay solvent, we want to continue to be able to provide services and levelling charges isjust one way of doing that. the government says it has put extra money into supporting people like saskia and will publish plans for reform soon. alison holt, bbc news. campaigners are warning of the dangers of outdoor swimming and offering free classes to help children enjoy the sea safely. one woman who helped rescue
