10:47 pm
18—year—old daughter hannah, the chairman of the international arm of the investment firm morgan stanley and his wife, along with mike lynch's lawyer and his wife. tonight the 15 survivors have left hopsital. have left hospital. newsnight has spoken to the doctor who treated them when they were brought ashore. he's fabio genco. around 5:05 local time here in palermo we received this call from the coast guard. the coast guard personnel were informing us that there were three shipwreck survivors, a family consisting of two parents and one child. they were in the water, having sunk along with the boat. a few minutes later, a call came informing us that it wasn't just three people, but an unspecified number, at least 10 to 20 people who had been involved in this shipwreck. you talk about the one year old baby. were you able to get any idea about how their mother was able to keep them safe at sea? at that moment, the mother asked us
10:48 pm
rescuers for reassurance that the child was okay and hadn't experienced any symptoms of drowning that can occur in this situation. she insisted that the child had never gone underwater. we took the child's vital signs, which showed good saturation and good oxygenation, so we were much more reassured by this information that transpired from the vital signs. the others almost all had stable and calm vital signs, so we had little concern. the main concern was for the child to understand if she had ingested salt water. the word that the mother and all the injured kept repeating was darkness, the darkness that they experienced during the shipwreck. they spoke of about five minutes, maybe from three to five minutes from the moment the boat was lifted, raised by the waves of the sea until it sank. how are the survivors dealing with the fact that their loved ones are still missing and being searched for? it was a tragic scene because, as i mentioned earlier, there was this shock related
10:49 pm
to the search for their friends, family members and relatives. there were truly apocalyptic scenes where everyone was searching and hoping to find the people who at that moment were not present or werejust missing. what's the prognosis for the people that you treated? have some of them been released from hospital? how are they doing? all have been discharged yesterday. the medics at the children's hospital preferred to keep the child for at least 2a hours. but today they have all been discharged. and how did you become aware of the fact that there's a very, very successful british businessman who was on board this boat? certainly the boat was a luxury boat. so it was thought that there were wealthy people on board. but i must say, this is not important to us because we always focus on the medical side of the situation. we are used to many cases, and we also handle lampedusa, a place where there are many, many shipwrecks related to immigration. so unfortunately, this is not the first time that we have assisted shipwrecked patients.
10:50 pm
but i suppose that the sea treats everyone the same. rich or poor? yes, yes. unfortunately, in the face of death and in the face of life, there is no difference between rich and poor or between nobles and commoners. the rmt rail union met with goverment officials today to discuss a pay rise for its members. it has led to some predictions of bumper pay settlements. some have accused the chancellor rachel reeves of balancing the books by limiting future winter fuel payments to only those pensioners who receive the benefit known as pension credit. but meanwhile a coalition is assembling to save the winter fuel payment. so far its members include charities, all six candidates for the tory leadership, several right wing newspapers, and 102,312 people who've so far signed an online petition.
10:51 pm
in a previousjob maybe keir starmer would bejoining them if this clip of him as leader of the opposition is anything to go by. last year the prime minister was apparently drawing up plans to remove the winter fuel allowance from pensioners. his paymaster general went a step further. he said that's the kind of thing we need to look at. so will he now rule out taking pensioners' winter fuel payments off them to help fund his £46 billion black hole? ages before any of you get the winter fuel payment, so this is an intellectual argument for you but what is your take, is it a good trade—off? i what is your take, is it a good trade-off?— trade-off? i think it is quite meticulous _ trade-off? i think it is quite meticulous and _ trade-off? i think it is quite meticulous and i'm - trade-off? i think it is quite meticulous and i'm not - trade-off? i think it is quite | meticulous and i'm not sure trade-off? i think it is quite - meticulous and i'm not sure why so early into a big win the labour party would have this suicidal mission to be able to do that. i think suicidal because he will have to back down. it is the same as the
