here's matthew hill. serryth colbert is a driven and ambitious man.inning rower. he's also a former surgeon at bath royal united hospital, specialising in the head, neck, face and jaw. but after raising whistle—blowing concerns, he was sacked last year for bullying. my genuine whistle—blowing concerns, they try and deflect all the attention away — redesignated as interpersonal conflict. there were personality clashes between mr colbert and some other staff at the ruh, and he also made several serious allegations about patient safety. as a result, one dentist was disciplined and he reported another for treating private patients using nhs resources. he also raised concerns about the safety of some operations, but most seriously that his department was chasing targets by treating routine tooth extractions rather than cancer cases. he claims this delayed the treatment of at least 300 patients. delaying the treatment of any patient with cancer puts them at harm. it's indefensible, and it's something you cannot do in any trust, anywhere, any time. mr colber

reporting in beverly hills, matthew seedorf, fox 11 news. in washington, state asylum seekers and homeless families now have a possible option in seattle. >> yeah, the low income housing institute has created a community made up of 42 tiny homes, ten of them are set aside for immigrants and the homeless. the village also has community spaces and access to case managers, along with more plans to build affordable housing. >> and you can hear about the west coast top stories every weeknight right here on ktvu. west coast rap airs at 7:00 monday through friday. you can also find around the clock coverage on stories happening all across the west at west coast rap.com. >> hey, bill, in case you're wondering, alex host that show. oh yeah i love actually thank you kevin. >> go ahead. you could say something nice bill. >> no i actually like west coast rap part of it i do. okay. it's a great idea too. it's all the west coast stories of the day. it's actually makes a lot of sense. but i'm not on it, so it's not, you know, it's. i can get you on that. i

matthew hill, bbc news.og. and we'll be joined on the sofa by frank rothwell, the record—breaking rower who's back home after his tra ns—atla ntic challenge. we're on bbc two until nine o'clock this morning, but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. hello, this is breakfast with ben boulos and sarah campbell. time now for some sport. big day in the rugby yesterday. it was, and perhaps two results we were expecting, ireland were formidable, but ireland won a thing that comes to be, and scotland against england, so scotland should do it, they won four in a row, the first time since 1866. england is a work in progress at the moment. they really showed their teeth and why they are serious contenders. for the first time in almost 130 years scotland have won four successive matches against england, meaning the calcutta cup stays with gregor townsend's side. they were up against it early on — england led 10—0 at murrayfield — before a masterclass from duhan van der merwe guided scotland to a deserved

nbc's julie tsirkin is on capitol hill. matthew dowd back was.as, executive direct tower of the mccain institute and former advisor to the supreme allied commander. any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security including that of the u.s. and puts american and european soldiers at increased risk. do you share those concerns sdm. >> absolutely. i would say this is not stupid -- i mean it's stupid, but it's dangerous and unpatriotic. i even saw someone refer to it as treacherous or treasonous. this will put potentially u.s. troops even in harm's way because it's tempting vladimir putin and frankly any of our enemies to test the alliance, and that puts everyone in greater danger. we don't want war with russia and we don't want russia to think we're weak and won't strike back if they do try something with us militarily. >> julie, what's been the reaction among republicans? >> the top line here is, chris, after running around the capitol trying to ask as many senate republicans as possible about this, is they don'

, and matthews saw that the nfl also a weekend in toronto. he's called twice, including the game with us in the final of the seat on 3 tournaments. matthews was resigned to stay with the niece at school to 2028th was named most valuable there for the event. and best always pull for me and get back to me. thank you so that well that's it for me. the bucket for this news, but i will be back in about with most for today's say with this for like the, the most direct way for me to get into the brain is by inhaling back in my day to get tucked up all the time. so you're bringing the nozzle up to your mouth. yeah. and i would blow through how many times do you think you'd be interested in? oh, my 100. and so why you were spring? did it ever occurred to that? what your spring might hurt you? hers, i have plans for people. so who do you hold responsible for what's happened to a unique perspective on and the but don't want to call even if i'm not reporting, i want to leave this and it was really a formatting thoughtful this coverage. there's no reason

we are back with our panel, doug, julia and matthew.much pressure is on the republican leadership on this issue? >> a whole lot of pressure. specifically on the new speaker. and there's not much room for error. one of the things that we are hearing talk about is what is called a discharge petition. which to get in kind of congressional nerd speak is a way to force the issue to come onto the house floor. it doesn't happen very often and it is a slow, sort of laborious process. it could happen in this case because you would certainly have about 300 members of congress who were supportive of aid. that's the only way basically you would get the speaker to move on this. people make noise replacing him laura ingraham pressed president trump on ukraine. let's play that. >> so you wouldn't be in favor of giving $60 billion more for ukraine? >> i guess the thing that bothers me most, it would have never happened if i were president. >> laura: it did happen. what are you going to do about it. >> what i would do first thing i get on the phone is w

nbc's garrett haake is reporting on capitol hill. also with us, matthew dowd, senior msnbc political analyst, and michael schmidt, "new york times" washington correspondent and msnbc national security contributor, who is here with me on set. okay, garrett, i didn't hear any leaks. i don't know if there were leaks out there, but what happened here? what do we know? >> reporter: well, look, mitch mcconnell is going to leave office at the end of this term, now, he says in 2026 as the most controversial and consequential senator probably of the last 50 years, probably since lyndon baines johnson. part of how he has gotten there is very tight control of his message. there are no leaks from mitch mcconnell's office. there's nothing that appears by accident, the way we all learned about this today was an interview that he had done that was released on embargo just moments before mcconnell took to the floor to make the announcement himself. now i think it was surprising in the moment that mcconnell chose today of all days, a wednesday at 12:

pillow by a pretty decent margin honestly, with upcoming battles on capitol hill over border security and the federal budget, every single vote counts we saw that last night in the impeachment vote and there are bigger questions about what this special election might tell us going forward for the 2024 race. >> absolutely sent to that end. let's bring in cnn political director david chalian. david, we should say that we're expecting to hear from the speaker really momentarily. so it'll be curious to hear how he responds to this, but what are your takeaways from last night? >> well, clearly it is a big win for the democrats. they flip a seat. so in the short term relating to speaker johnson's remarks upcoming year, it narrows his majority and he's got a lot of thorny issues still ahead of him. and so having one fewer vote to play with, there's like no wiggle room for the speaker at this point. so that's its most immediate impact, but also democrats needed a win at this moment, right? just in terms of the political environment in the aftermath of the her report. and a lot of democrats wr

matthew chance is in moscow tonight with more captured on camera. in russia's freezing north. what could be the prison motorcade carrying alexey navalny's body from the arctic penal colony, where he died independent investigative journalists believed these traffic images show the late russian opposition leaders remains have been removed. >> although >> there's still no official confirmation of where they're being held, even the valleys elderly mother and traveled nearly 2000 miles from moscow to see her dead son has been denied and is now asking the russian president for mercy mean even though you to whatsila, they won't give me his body. >> they don't >> even tell me where he is. i'm addressing you, vladimir putin, the solution to the issue depends only on you. let me finally see my son. i demand that alex's body b immediately handed over so that i can bury him humanely. >> it is an emotional appeal with russian public support. >> it's hard to ignore >> but the valley here is only the latest in a long-line of kremlin critics to be permanently silenced at home and abroad. diss
