blue and way round, red seats turned blue and so ed davey referred to as being a long conservative seat to be turned, he hopes orange, to the liberal democrats. that is what was happening a few minutes ago in guildford. let's get more now on our top story, junior doctors working in england's public health services have begun a six day strike. it's the longest industrial action in nhs history. people are being warned to expect significant disruption as urgent and critical care are prioritised over routine appointments. we'rejoined now by sirjulian hartley, the chief executive of nhs providers which represents trusts in england. thank you forjoining us. we have been hearing about the impact these strikes might be having on patient care. but i suppose the big question really is how do you see this dispute being resolved? you are

absolutely right. _ dispute being resolved? you are absolutely right. this _ dispute being resolved? you are absolutely right. this is - dispute being resolved? you are absolutely right. this is having l dispute being resolved? you are absolutely right. this is having a big impact already, we are getting a sense that emergency care is under pressure and electives, planned operations and appointments are being largely stood down and will have to be rearranged. in terms of where we see this going, we do need to see the two parties come together, the bma and the government and try to thrash out a deal. even at this late stage and even during the strike action, it is never too late to get to the table... the strike action, it is never too late to get to the table. . .- late to get to the table... what will brin: late to get to the table... what will bring them _ late to get to the table... what will bring them to _ late to get to the table... what will bring them to the - late to get to the table... what will bring them to the table? i late to get to the table... what will bring them to the table? the government says it will not involve itself in discussions until the strike has been called off. we know we need to get them round the table, but how is that impasse to be overcome?— but how is that impasse to be overcome? you know, that is a question. _ overcome? you know, that is a question, frankly, _ overcome? you know, that is a question, frankly, for - overcome? you know, that is a question, frankly, for both, - overcome? you know, that is a| question, frankly, for both, the overcome? you know, that is a - question, frankly, for both, the bma and the government and the message from the trust leaders, the message from the trust leaders, the message from all of the trusts we represent

is the cumulative impact of strike action, which lets not forget has been going for over a year now in the nhs, is taking its toll, first and foremost on patients and patient activity. also on finances, you know, the cost of the strike action around 2 billion so far and crucially on staff morale in the nhs. all of those reasons point to the need for urgent resolution, but it is the two main protagonists that need to come together to find a way through it. we were encouraged before christmas that the tone of the negotiations had changed, there was more of a sense of progress being made, but that was why we were so disappointed to see the strike action called and happen and obviously, over the next few days it is going to be a tough week for the nhs. it is going to be a tough week for the nhs. , ., , is going to be a tough week for the nhs. , ., y a, ., is going to be a tough week for the nhs. ,., y a, ., ., nhs. it is only fair to point out these issues _ nhs. it is only fair to point out these issues existed _ nhs. it is only fair to point out these issues existed well - nhs. it is only fair to point out i these issues existed well before nhs. it is only fair to point out - these issues existed well before the strike action, the waiting lists where around before this, in fact it

was the bmajunior where around before this, in fact it was the bma junior doctors committee that said in 2022 and 2023, there were almost no doctor strikes but hospitals had to cancel more than 10 million scheduled appointments? yes. million scheduled appointments? yes, that is riaht million scheduled appointments? yes, that is right the _ million scheduled appointments? 1&1: that is right the nhs has been under consistent pressure, particularly of course during the pandemic and the shock waves from the pandemic have had a big impact in terms of the scale of what the nhs is having to deal with in terms of electives, rising demand in urgent care, rising demand in mental health and community services as well. there is no doubt there is enormous pressure but this is the toughest week of the calendar year for the but this is the toughest week of the calendar yearfor the nhs but this is the toughest week of the calendar year for the nhs so therefore the industrial action does have a significant impact in terms of consultants having to stand in forjunior doctors which means of course, other work they would normally do has to be postponed and

rearranged and with the impact on patients we have described. yes, there is a backdrop of significant pressures in the nhs but no doubt this action over the course of the next few days will and is having a big impact on patients and on staff. i suppose thejunior big impact on patients and on staff. i suppose the junior doctors' argument is that actually, it is by taking this strike action that they will hope to change the condition to tackle some of those issues by improving staff morale and retention. he mentioned the impact on having consultants and other doctors having to step in, what is nhs providers doing to try and prevent their exhaustion as a result of having to fill in the gaps? what of having to fill in the gaps? what trusts are doing _ of having to fill in the gaps? what trusts are doing is _ of having to fill in the gaps? w�*ué�*ii trusts are doing is working really closely with the bma to make sure patient safety is protected to manage any significant escalations, so that in the event of serious

escalation there is provision for junior doctors to come back into the hospital. the situation is regularly monitored by nhs england and the bma. trust leaders are keeping a close eye on what is happening, supporting staff that are standing in, trying to make sure there is the right arrangements to support and be flexible. it is fair to say after many months of strike action there is a degree of fatigue and weariness in terms of having, yet again, to stand in, to do more work to deal with this level of strike action. nhs trust respect and understand and, i think, nhs trust respect and understand and, ithink, my nhs trust respect and understand and, i think, my own experience of working closely with junior doctors over many years, they do a fantastic job and a highly regarded under key party of the nhs, which is why we are desperate to see a resolution so the sense of cohesion across the service can be restored and we can deliver the priority is the nhs must

deliver the priority is the nhs must deliver for its patients. the government _ deliver for its patients. the government says _ deliver for its patients. the government says strike action will have to be called off for it to return to the table, what is your message? what would you like to see doctors on strike do in order to facilitate that? what do you think would bring them to that? again, there needs _ would bring them to that? again, there needs to _ would bring them to that? again, there needs to be _ would bring them to that? again, there needs to be a _ would bring them to that? again, there needs to be a meeting - would bring them to that? again, there needs to be a meeting of i there needs to be a meeting of minds, there needs to be a de—escalation, there needs to be a way of coming together. i think we need to do all we can behind—the—scenes to encourage that, to highlight the challenges that this is causing for the trusts. but frankly, to find a way through it that meets the needs of both parties and try... we have seen with previous strike action in the nhs, that when government and the union sit down together and work through, you can find a breakthrough and that

is absolutely what we need. it is vital we do so at this time. it is not the start we need to 2024 in terms of this action, because of the scale of the impact, of the duration in the most pressurised reek of the nhs calendar. 5ir in the most pressurised reek of the nhs calendar-— nhs calendar. sirjulian hartley, thank ou nhs calendar. sirjulian hartley, thank you for— nhs calendar. sirjulian hartley, thank you for your _ nhs calendar. sirjulian hartley, thank you for your time. - nhs calendar. sirjulian hartley, thank you for your time. thank l nhs calendar. sirjulian hartley, . thank you for your time. thank you. archaeologists have unearthed a rare medieval cemetery not far from the end of the runway at cardiff airport. at least 70 graves have been discovered, which are thought to date back to the sixth or seventh century. so far, 18 of the graves have been excavated and included several unusual artefacts. our science editor rebecca morelle reports. uncovering a medieval mystery. just outside of cardiff, archaeologists have discovered a graveyard they think is 1500 years old. the bodies buried so long ago are giving an insight into a period

we know little about. what's being revealed is baffling the archaeologists. it's really rare to have a site like this. each one of these is a grave, and the team of excavated 18, so far, but they think there could be more than 70 at this site. now they're all aligned in the same position, running from east to west. and in some of them, the skeletons are flat on their backs with their legs outstretched. but in others, like this one over here, the skeleton is in a really unusual crouching position. why this is isn't clear. were burial practices changing over time? or was there something else marking these people out as different? the skeletons are some of the best preserved. we're actually very, very lucky with that. and this particular individual is one of our better preserved ones on the site as a whole. the skeletons are being carefully excavated and they're already providing clues about how these people lived and died.

as bones get cleaned, we'll find pathologies. they can tell us about health, tell us, in some cases, about work. we have some teeth that are very worn in kind of a funny way that might indicate the use of teeth as tools — maybe for textile work, leatherwork, basketry, where they're pulling something through their front teeth. so, all together, we'll have a really good not only life history of these people, but also a community history. got something that looks like glass. pick it out carefully. what's being found alongside the skeletons is posing even more of a puzzle. it is glass. a shard of fine french glass has just been discovered. hopefully, the rim from a cone beaker. so which would have looked like an ice cream cone and it probably was imported alongside wine in barrels from the bordeaux region of france. a really nice find. it's just one of an array of artifacts from fragments of pottery, perhaps from north africa,

to a tiny carved peg. this little object is manufactured from animal bone. it could be a peg for fora gaming board. kind of cribbage or some sort of game? yes, yes. a medieval version. yes, something like that. it suggests people were coming to the cemetery to meet up, eat and drink — the living and the dead existing together. we tend to think of graveyards as sort of enclosed spaces that we don't really go to, but they probably would have been quite central to life in the past. and it's notjust a place where people are being buried, but it's a place where communities are coming together. they are burying their dead, but they're also undertaking other forms of activity and social practice, including eating and drinking and feasting. no nearby settlement has yet been found and the dig is creating a perplexing picture. the items unearthed in the cemetery suggest wealth —

that the people there were of high status. that's what we're trying to find out as part of our work is what exactly is going on, who are these people being buried here? the people interred here have access to very high—quality imported goods that you can only get through trading or exchange networks with people with a lot of wealth to bring it here. this unusual cemetery is just starting to give up its secrets. archaeologists have onlyjust begun to scratch the surface. they hope their excavation will reveal much more — not only about each individual buried there, but also about the medieval way of life that's remained an enigma for so long. rebecca morelle, bbc news, cardiff.

storm henk is the eighth named storm to have battered the uk in the last three months, bringing powerful winds, flooding and travel misery. about 38,000 homes in england and wales are without electricity after storm henk brought down trees and power lines. there was also flooding in areas including the west midlands and pembrokeshire. louisa pilbeam reports storm henk is the eighth named storm to have battered the uk in the last three months, bringing powerful winds, flooding and travel misery. gale force winds swept in from the south—west, making life difficult for drivers disembarking from this ferry in dorset, while wind speeds topped 94 mph in the isle of wight. in the bristol area squally showers took their toll on those outside. have we ever had as much rain as we have had this last few weeks? it's unbelievable. i'm hanging onto this to keep myself steady! falling trees became a significant risk to life. this dog walker escaped by seconds. across the country roads were blocked and made travel difficult, causing multiple accidents. in orpington a woman was taken to hospital after being struck by a tree. at london waterloo station

passengers described the situation as chaos, as trains were cancelled from late afternoon and delays continued into the night. this was due to damage to cables and flooding in places like birmingham. 38,000 households were without power as up to 40 millimetres of rain fell in places. the national grid were on the case in wales. there is a lot of rain, notjust in the worcestershire area, but of course in wales and the river catchment as well, so thatjust going to come one way — down to us. so, i think we could see some significant impacts as the week goes on, and we need to be very, very vigilant. no weather warnings remain today, but there are more than 300 flood alerts, and authorities are warning that travel will continue to be disrupted. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. a vigil has been held at a park in north—east london in memory

ii—year—old narges is just home from school. but as a young carer, she has a busy evening ahead. my dad is blind, so i help him with the letters. i help guide him around. i make tea, i make breakfast a lot of the times. and especially when we're going out, because sometimes there's roadworks going on and it's especially hard on bin day when people put their bins out and then you've got to just guide carefully through them. and i do the laundry, as well — if i haven't said that, i'm not sure. ijust help clean up. i do a lot of translating, but most of the times they understand. one of my friends goes home, either goes to scouts or basketball, but theyjust play sport after school. my otherfriend goes home, goes in bed or on their phone, watches netflix.

i don't know what they do, but they basicallyjust relax. i do this and it makes me happy, so i'm fine with it. it makes me feel very important, though. it makes me feel like the heart of the family sometimes. my dad says i'm an extraordinary girl, clever as well, but he says i'm like his left hand. "we require access to your flat to inspect the inside." it makes me feel responsible and it just makes me feel grown up, mature. so do you feel older than 11? if it wasn't for my height, i'd feel about 15 years old. but once a week, narges gets a break when she joins other young carers. wow, you feel like you're gliding and flying. is it easy? yeah, it's fun. once you get the hang of it. it's so fun. and, tonight, she's ice skating with herfriend jessica, who also looks after her dad. my dad has kidney failure and sometimes i have to look after him when i go to his house.

and it's got better now. but i used to have to make the lunches for my two younger brothers. sometimes, i had to clean the house and make sure he wasn't drinking too much liquid. so one time we went shopping for mother's day, so my stepmum and my mum weren't there, and he lay on the floor and he began to feel faint. so i had to tell a staff member and they called the ambulance and i had to speak to the ambulance members. and it was quite scary because my two younger brothers were crying and i was the oldest. it feels a bit better because i know there's people that, like, have the same as me and like i'm not alone and we can, like, relate on the same things and we can talk about it. because sometimes at school i don't think a lot of people go through the same thing, so it's just nice to know that other people are going through it, so you're not alone. i've been looking after my brother

for as long as i can remember. . he's nonverbal autistic. there's a lot of - responsibility at home. it's been so freeing, sometimes, i tojust come out and make the night about myself rather than worry about, you know, other- things and other people. if you keep everything bottled up, then it feels like you need to let it out sometimes. and they're like the people i let it out to. i just feel relaxed, like i'm on holiday. it's like having a shoulder to lean on or something like that. and itjust gives me a rest, a break, but it makes me happy as well. they make me so happy when i go there. if you have been affected by any of the issues raised, help is available from bbc action line — just visit bbc.co.uk/actionline. we'd love to hear from you on this story —

only album from 2023 that was in the top ten was taylor swift's 1989, which was a re—recording of an album she first released in 2014. you are right, it does make it harderfor new artists to gain a foothold, to get higher up the festival bills, to get higher up the festival bills, to get promoted and for those new classic songs to take hold and become part of the cultural fabric in the way that they used to. a bit of sporting history will take place in london tonight with all eyes on one thing, a dartboard. this is teen darts sensation luke littler. atjust 16 years old, he's become the youngest person to reach the final of the world darts championship. littler secured his place with a 6—2 win over fellow brit and 2018 world champion rob cross. this was littler�*s reaction after the win. it is beyond believable.

i only set my goals to win one game and come back after christmas and i'm still here. he's still only a teen — but it seems littler�*s talents were already on display from an even younger age. he honed his craft at an academy in st helen's — where his influence and inspiration is still felt today. i didn't know he could do such big things, when he was at the academy i thought he was just a normal kid who played darts, but now i have seen him in the world championships. when he gets to the oche, he doesn't feel anything, he just gets on with his game. meeting luke littler in the final is world number one luke humphries. he's looking to extend an 18—game winning streak with the world championship title. the final will take place on wednesday evening london time. the founder of the kids company charity camila batmanghelidjh has died at the age of 61. she was a high—profile campaigner for disadvantaged young people and was known

into the west of scotland and some snow in shetland, where it's still chilly — three degrees here. elsewhere, temperatures above average, but down on yesterday. now into tonight to continue with some rain across the north and east of scotland, some snow in shetland at times. isolated showers elsewhere, turns drier. but some clear skies around, colder night than recent nights. don't be surprised if one or two sheltered valleys sees such a frost into the morning. so your thursday commute will be a colder one, but a brighter one for the most part. a lot more sunshine around. still some outbreaks of rain to the north and east of scotland. a few showers elsewhere, scotland, parts of northern ireland, northern england, but channel islands turning wet through the morning and some of that rain could edge into southern counties of england. bear in mind that could be a bit further north than shown on these charts. and that's because of this system here, which is moving out of france. just how far north it gets a bit of a question mark, but it will get out of the way as we go into friday. still got low pressure to the north west of scotland. so still the focus for the bulk of the showers here. but there will be a few showers elsewhere. as you can see, though, the winds for many of you will be still on the lighter side. some sunshine in places,

temperatures dropping closer to where we should be injanuary and they will be set to drop further. low pressure that has dominated for so long gets squeezed away by high pressure building in scandinavia and out from parts of the atlantic. and that will eventually not only turn things drier but also colder across the country. with the arrival of more widespread night—time frost will be some mist and fog by night as well. but i think the crucial thing, especially with all those flood warnings around at the moment, very little rain. there will be a few showers, it's not to be a completely dry picture, but the emphasis for most of you is some longer, drier spells and that will continue through much of next week. take care.
