from the Ministry of Health
and Social Security.
1:09:05
-Tell me, what explanation do you have?
-Barbara?
1:09:09
It's too soon for us
to make any statement,
1:09:12
but Id like to correct you
on a point that you just made.
1:09:15
It really is quite inaccurate
to speak of a 20 per centrise
1:09:19
in the infant mortality rate index.
1:09:22
Our statistics are based on annual
averages and not on weekly fluctuations.
1:09:28
But you admit there's been
an unexplained increase in
the deaths among baby boys?
1:09:33
A rise, but nothing compared
to the rise you'd expect to find
during, say, a flu epidemic.
1:09:38
Surely, Dr. Philmore,
we're not talking about a flu epidemic.
1:09:41
We're talking about
household burns, drownings,
1:09:45
car accidents, suffocation,
food poisonings, electrocution.
1:09:49
Scotland Yard has assured us
that in their opinion there
is no question of foul play
1:09:53
in any of the mortalities reported.
Forgive me if I speak bluntly,
1:09:57
but your kind of scaremonger reporting
is the kind of behaviour
1:10:01
that brings the media into bad repute.
1:10:06
-Night, Miss Reynolds.
-Night, Bill.
1:10:53
Miss Reynolds.
1:10:55
I need to talk to you urgently.
1:10:57
-It's about your programme about the deaths.
-A protest march of one. How disappointing.
