patient. there were patients in hospital who were well enough to come home but who didn't have the care package at home so couldn't leave the hospital. so as you can tell, it was a whole system issue that ended up failing my mum. find that ended up failing my mum. and what kind of— that ended up failing my mum. and what kind of solutions do you think need to be put in place to stop some of these cases happening? i know you are part of an organisationjust treatment, what are you calling for? what we believe is two things are necessary, extra funding, and i know people say that the money goes into the nhs and disappears, it doesn't, it is used for the good of patients. and we are nowhere near in the uk the european average. many billions more to be invested over the coming years, tens of billions, to reach the european average of funding for the european average of funding for the health service. and of course we need the health service. and of course w9: need reform of the health service. and of course w9 need reform of the the health service. and of course "w9 need reform of the social care system and structure, and we need

reform of the nhs too, but i'm afraid in our view atjust treatment centres like, we have a government which is are you logically opposed to publicly owned health service, and we certainly feel they are running it down and we have a situation where it gets worse and worse to such a point where the nhs sadly won't be viable and we will have an american insurance system. i think it is briefly interesting to note that in the survey, your point was the government, but it seems public opinion is split, some people thinking that spending should be increased on the nhs, other than thinking it should be reduced. we live in a thinking it should be reduced. 9 live in a democracy and people will always have different views, but certainly are a strong view atjust treatment, and i should point out thatjust treatment is patient— led by those of us whose families have sadly been let down by the nhs who really believe in it as a public

service. the private sector has what it has, but it is not the nhs, and we believe that really strongly. we are prepared to argue the case with those who disagree.— are prepared to argue the case with those who disagree. thank you very much, matthew. _ those who disagree. thank you very much, matthew. matthew— those who disagree. thank you very much, matthew. matthew from - those who disagree. thank you very much, matthew. matthew from justi much, matthew. matthew from just treatment. now let's turn to the most read story on the bbc website today, and many of us seem to be confused by warnings that travel plans to europe this summer may be ruined by passport. uk travel is able to carry up to nine months from an old passport over to a new one, but post—brexit, eu countries will not accept passports issued more than ten years ago. we can speak to lisa francesca, travel expert from the big travel podcast. good to have you on the programme. why are we talking about this issue today? i guess it has been happening for a long time? it guess it has been happening for a lona time? .,, guess it has been happening for a lona time? ., .,, guess it has been happening for a lon. time? :,, :,, , long time? it has, it has been happening _ long time? it has, it has been happening for _ long time? it has, it has been happening for a _ long time? it has, it has been

happening for a couple - long time? it has, it has been happening for a couple of - long time? it has, it has been i happening for a couple of years, long time? it has, it has been - happening for a couple of years, i have been talking about it on tv and radio, people ignore me or the news because they weren't quite aware of it. then during covid, people weren't travelling during the couple of years post—covid, people were travelling less and that is the time when these eu rules came into place and started to affect us, because of course previously we were in the eu. so it seems a lot of people are getting caught out by this now, it is estimated that 32 million passport holders could be subject to this issue. at the moment, we are estimating that around 200 people a day are getting turned back from leaving the country in tin an eu country because our passports might be valid here but they are not valid to enter the eu. i be valid here but they are not valid to enter the eu.— to enter the eu. i imagine if today have 'ust to enter the eu. i imagine if today have just been _ to enter the eu. i imagine if today have just been going _ to enter the eu. i imagine if today have just been going back - to enter the eu. i imagine if today have just been going back to - to enter the eu. i imagine if today i have just been going back to looking at their passports, trying to work out when it might expire, i have an interesting example for you from a member of our team. she has a password that was issued in may 2018 but expires on the 1st of october

2028, is a dish you need to renew her passport? you 2028, is a dish you need to renew her passport?_ her passport? you be looking at that, because _ her passport? you be looking at that, because we _ her passport? you be looking at that, because we all _ her passport? you be looking at that, because we all do - her passport? you be looking at that, because we all do it, - her passport? you be looking at that, because we all do it, you i that, because we all do it, you think you are on top of it and i know where your passport is, then you look at the expiry date, so you need to look at that and rightly so thinking, "expires in october, i better get it a few months before october," no, for the eu, it expires in may, because that is ten years after the date of issue. so what we need to do is look at the date of issue. i neverforget about need to do is look at the date of issue. i never forget about the date that it expires and look at the date of issue, because that one is the problem. that particular example, it expires in may, you need to have three months on your passport to travel to the eu, so count back three months from that. i would be changing it in the early part of the year, i would changing it in the early part of the year, iwould be changing it in the early part of the year, i would be changing changing it in the early part of the year, iwould be changing in changing it in the early part of the year, i would be changing in 2028 in january or february, if not before that, just to be very safe.- that, 'ust to be very safe. lisa, 'ust that, just to be very safe. lisa, just finally. _ that, just to be very safe. lisa, just finally. if— that, just to be very safe. lisa, just finally, if you _ that, just to be very safe. lisa, just finally, if you miss - that, just to be very safe. lisa, just finally, if you miss a - that, just to be very safe. lisa, | just finally, if you miss a holiday

because of this confusion, what options do you have? can insurance cover any losses?— cover any losses? insurance is in and use usual— cover any losses? insurance is in and use usual beast, _ cover any losses? insurance is in and use usual beast, isn't- cover any losses? insurance is in and use usual beast, isn't it? - cover any losses? insurance is in | and use usual beast, isn't it? you would have to read the small print. i know people it has happened to come it happen to a friend last summer and she couldn't go on holiday till two days later, her husband and kids went ahead. she had to go to glasgow from london because that was the only place she could get an appointment for the passport office. and she actually got her flight, she didn't get refunded, but she got it free. however, it all depends on the airline and insurance, and of course you will be out of pocket because in that particular example, she had to get a train to glasgow, she had to have two nights in a hotel, so not only will it be very stressful, but it could also be very costly, so do check that passport now. thank you, a very timely — check that passport now. thank you, a very timely reminder— check that passport now. thank you, a very timely reminder there. - check that passport now. thank you, a very timely reminder there. let's l a very timely reminder there. let's get some of the day's other news. katie price says there is nothing worse than women in their early 20s

chinese buyer says it plans to manufacture new vehicles for use in an unspecified area of china. concerns have been raised of a ripple effect on global supply chains after a container ship crashed into a bridge in the us city of baltimore. the port is the busiest in the us for car imports, but officials have suspended maritime traffic for the foreseeable future. megan owen looks into how long the impact might last. what impact will this have on global

trade? according to the us secretary of transportation, there will be a major and protracted impact to supply chains. earlier, i asked marco from the expert in international trade about which brands are particularly impacted. general motors, ford, nissan, toyota, as well as jaguar and land rover. in addition, the port exports about half a million tonnes of liquefied natural gas each month, the us is the key supplier of liquefied natural gas to the uk and into the eu. in reality, to get back to what existed before is going to be many, many months.- to what existed before is going to be many, many months. some companies are already diverting _ be many, many months. some companies are already diverting their _ be many, many months. some companies are already diverting their business - are already diverting their business to other east coast ports, such as in new york and virginia, which have the capacity to absorb more shipments. but it is still likely to

add to the pressure facing global sea trade, partly because of the tax on the red sea —— attacks in the red sea but also the water level in the panama canal. for now, how long will it take to clear up the shipping channel so that business can resume as normal? now, jacksons, also known as normal? now, jacksons, also known as sausage dogs, could be banned in germany under a new law which would prohibit reading practices inflicting long—term suffering on the animals. dachsunds are prone to spinal problems linked to their short legs and long backs. but the german kennel club said the law would leave too much room for interpretation in determining what contributes to a genetic defect. the ministry denied the reform aimed at stopping what it calls torture being. now it is time for a look at the weather with darren. we see mixed weather today,

essentially it will stay unsettled into the easter weekend, because low pressure will be dominating and around that we have weather fronts which are focusing these spells of rain. in between there will be some sunshine. these are the top temperatures this afternoon, maybe making 13 across eastern england. a lot of showers coming in from the south—west, but we still have wet weather in scotland. that should tend to move away. that will drift northward and then we will see further wet weather coming into england and wales over night. they could be sleet and snow over the tops of exmoor, the cotswolds and over the welsh hills. quite chilly air we have overnight, especially in northern ireland and scotland, where we have clear skies. there will be a slight frost into tomorrow. let's focus on the weather in the far south of england on thursday, because it will get windy, and it is around these coastal areas that we will likely have some large waves, gales, and that could mean a travel disruption. gales, and that could mean travel disruption. the winds will strengthen around

this swirl of showers and spells of rain, which are moving up from the southwest. overnight rain moves into scotland and northern ireland, although it shouldn't be as wet in scotland as it has been today. temperatures in the central belt are likely to reach 10 degrees, which is an improvement on today. top temperature again will be around 12 degrees when we see some sunshine and fewer showers towards the south—east. low pressure still in charge as we head into good friday, there are some weather fronts bringing rain into spain and france, not far away from the south east of england. it looks like we will stay in showery air. there will be some sunshine at times, but as it warms upjust a little bit, we will see showers breaking out, they could turn heavy infantry, particularly for western areas. top temperature 13 or 1a on good friday. if you are travelling elsewhere, further afield into europe, the warmer air is going to be across the eastern side of europe on a southerly breeze and in the eastern side of the mediterranean. there could reach the mid—20s.

for western europe, it is cooler weather, it is wetter, particularly across spain and portugal. but we still have that area of low pressure over the easter weekend. it will not be a wash—out, when the sun comes out it will feel quite warm, the trouble is that showers are not too far away, particularly in the west.
