change. i really felt liberated as a journalist was. getting to the. al-jazeera. hello i'm barbara sarah this is the news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next sixty minutes. a sad end rush hour brown pop their offensive to capture a serious southwest the u.n. says three quarters of a million lives are at risk plus. it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone on the u.k.

urges russia for details of the nerve agent attack on a former spy after two more people are poisoned police say they've handled a contaminated item. and tied rescuers race to pump water out of the cave that twelve boys and their coach are trapped in before more heavy rain hits the area. around santa how much with all this for twelve formal wimbledon champ is novak djokovic and rafael nadal are into the third round at the all england club. syrian and russian forces have been pressing on with their offensive to capture a southwest syria launching hundreds of air strikes on rebel held areas the united nations says the lives of an estimated three quarters of a million civilians are in danger from the fighting well around three hundred

twenty thousand people have now been displaced and syria began their offensive in their raw and queena trip province sixty thousand displaced people are camped at the in the sea but their border crossing south into jordan and thousands more are along the western border with the israeli occupied golan heights well syrian rebel negotiators are now expected to resume talks with russian officials on friday this after negotiations collapsed on wednesday prompting the syrians to restart their offensive as in a hold of reports from beirut. rebels indeed have province say they are ready to fight to the death but at the same time they say they are ready to return to the negotiating table several rounds of talks to end the fighting and restore government rule in the southern province peacefully failed jordanian mediation has yet again succeeded in bringing the warring sides together earlier the opposition said the terms demanded by the russian military negotiating on behalf of the syrian government are unacceptable and humiliating to us. we didn't even begin the

negotiations and the russians were not even ready to listen to our demands the russian side insisted on their own terms and left the meeting during that meeting we insisted on guarantees before we give up our weapons because how can we give up our weapons without an international guarantees. the relative lull in the fighting has been shattered the military offensive resumed in full force. civilians yet again the victims activists say there were hundreds of airstrikes in the few hours following the breakdown of talks mistrials and barrel bombs battered what's left of opposition controlled territory. the rebel held areas have shrunk since the almost three week long russian backed syrian government offensive began government troops continued to take ground moving closer to the jordanian border with the capture of the town of site it came at a cost dozens of soldiers were reportedly killed the opposition says it will

continue to defend the remaining villages in the province under its control. your thoughts are going to the revolutionaries managed to prevent assad's forces from advancing into toughest on salmon for the fifth consecutive day this will be the graveyard for the regime and the russians we tell bashar al assad that the revolution started here and his end will be here. there is defiance but there is also a reality the opposition is surrounded. by its allies people are afraid of what happens . people are afraid of returning to their homes if the regime is president they're afraid of being forced to join the army in a risk to join the opposition rusher in the regime accuse them of terrorism there's a lot of fear the offensive has created a humanitarian crisis hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced the number is growing with the escalation in the fighting the opposition says it is afraid to hand over their heavy weapons without security guarantees from

a third party they fear reprisals from syrian government troops if they enter their towns and villages those who don't want to live under president bashar assad's rule are demanding safe passage to rebel held areas in the north and opposition to go she does want the u.s. and involved in talks about the fate of southern syria all those requests were rejected. the intensity of the bombardment is being described as the heaviest since the offensive began just like in previous military campaigns the pro-government camp is hoping to bomb the opposition into submission. beirut. smith says more now from a military field hospital at the job air crossing on the jordan syria border. there has been a steady stream of syrians fleeing dara coming here for treatment with a wide variety of injuries many of them conflict related and the jordanian military is set up three separate tents in what are extremely challenging environments hots

and it's dusty and it's very difficult for people to work there are a lot of frightened people here frightened children cried man frightened women. this five year old girl clearly in a lot of pain just fell over as she was running away from the fighting and she's being given stitches by the doctors but you can see the very difficult conditions that working in and you can see that this is very frightening indeed most of the injuries are here we deal is cut towards of her bare bones. and describe the environment in which your working out challenging is this environment and why it's. some. just something this is said before any people who want to do in his life the jordanian military says it's treated hundreds of syrians here in the last few days

for a wide variety of injuries and illnesses to women unfortunately who are pregnant try to make it here for treatment lost their babies because of the great distance they had to travel an indication really the very stream dangers the syrians are facing as they try and flee the bombardment of a province now while jordan is not opening its borders to refugees to allow refugees in it will give treatment to any who need it and then they will be sent back into syria. well is a regional media advisor in the middle east for the norwegian refugee council he joins us now via skype from amman sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera we just heard that report from bernard smith on the syria jordan border i know that you know region refugee council speaks to many first responders on the ground both in jordan and syria tell us a little bit about the picture that you're getting about what's going on there with

the real challenges are. well we're looking at their catastrophe in the making the last twenty four hours have been some of the most brutal. and in these last couple of weeks since the escalation started in southern syria we are now looking. over three hundred thirty thousand people on the move fleeing for their lives that is the entire population of iceland. just as much as the same population that is now right now leaving fleeing for their lives they are under attack and the last twenty four hours we've seen people who are on the displacement areas camps very very bare minimum standards where they are just trying to seek shelter they were under attack there have been women and children who have been killed aide workers have been killed and can't reach them and that is the absolute

tragedy right now the bombs have started exploding again there is no access to those people who are caught in the fighting and there is a quick and very rapid and massive movement towards the jordanian border where the fighting is moving through and these people are trapped there with nowhere left to go so that is also where we renewed our appeal to the jordanian government which has been extremely supportive and generous to the syrian refugees over the last seventy years now it is facing is this big moment of truth where there are tens of thousands of syrian refugees who have nowhere left to go and the fighting is approaching to them they are correct they are cornered and we can't work out of them absolutely dreadful situation for those people let me just bring you some news coming out of the security council what we've just heard that russia has blocked the statement by the security council.

that was effectively calling for humanitarian aid in there had been pressure we understand on russia from other members to allow humanitarian aid convoys basically to cross into a southern syria i mean i guess i can expect what it is but just give us your reaction to that because you're painting a picture of total devastation for you know hundreds of thousands of people and yet politically everything just seems blocked. yeah and that is where the change and the real game changer can happen as humanitarian aid workers we cannot enter. into into a war zone where our colleagues at risk being killed and there are syrian aid workers like now on the run for their lives so they are themselves in need of some kind of assistance what i can say is that as regards the convoys into southern

syria from the jordanian border there haven't been any. coordinated by the united nations since june twenty sixth and every day that goes on without a convoy going in there living the life saving aid is another critical day when more people are are a potentially dying there are we are hearing stories of elderly people who are out there under extreme pressure it's very hot it's more than thirty five degrees out there and it's getting hotter water is scarse medical assistance children were hard stories of children who died because they were bitten by scorpions and snakes and there were no medical there was no medical aid to help them that could have been prevented women giving birth out in the open under the scorching sun that's the reality that we're talking about right now wide stretches

of desert where there is nothing and no shelter and no services so the blocking of aid is a huge problem and it is at last what we in the making it is did karl schembri regional media adviser in the middle east with dinner we generally g council thank you so much for your time thank you for having. it's been one year since i saw was forced out of the iraqi city of mosul but nearly four hundred thousand people who used to live there are still displaced and the city continues to lie in ruins around ninety percent of western mosul was there in the battle to reclaim it from high school it's estimated it will cost more than eight hundred fifty million u.s. dollars to even repair the basic infrastructure. modeled on the thought we return to our neighborhood one year ago it's all there we haven't seen

any change or anything good happen i'm still dismayed and we've received such little assistance. coming up on the news hour france's prime minister has called for calm after a second night of violence in the western city of knowledge nine hundred dead after explosions tear through fireworks houses in mexico last. i knew richardson at the world cup in russia where after eight years of preparation we now just have eight teams and eight games left in the tournament. person's home secretary has called on russia to explain itself after a man and woman collapsed from exposure to the nerve agent navi chalk in southern england police say they've handled a contaminated item the couple fell ill close to salzburg where russian double agent sergei scruple and his daughter or targeted with the same substance and attack the british government blamed on russia i know that many of you who question

whether this incident is linked to the one that is clearly the main line of inquiry we have already seen multiple explanations from state sponsored russian media regarding this latest incident we can anticipate further disinflation from the kremlin as we saw following the souls we attack. the eyes of the world are currently on russia not least because of the world cup it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone on where the latest victims don't sturgis and charlie riley were discovered in the small town of amesbury it's almost thirteen kilometers from the city of souls bree where the script files were poisoned the pair were in salzburg on friday the day before they collapsed samples are being analyzed that the u.k. military's the porton down chemical research laboratory which is halfway between

ames agree and cells by peter sharp reports. the couple remain in a critical condition at seoul's priest district hospital but police and counterterrorism officers investigating the second poisoning say it's unlikely they were deliberately targeted but were caught up in the fallout from the previous attack the couple dawn sturgis and charlie rally both in their forty's collapse in a house of a mystery twelve kilometers from salzburg officials at porton down who had it done to fire the nerve agent as novacek say it's designed to be highly persistent five sites are now cordoned off as they trace the couple's movements before they succumb to the poison. a park pharmacy house and church are still being searched for any trace of the nerve agent police urging people who also visited these areas to wash their clothes and take precautions britain's counter-terror chief warned on thursday that there still remains a low level risk to the general public but through it all the people of soulsby

remain surprisingly upbeat i don't think it put fear into anybody that it's always we still buzzing as you can see is the showing that it's been who is it will is it does anybody really know it's just unfortunate soulsby just picking itself up again and now it looks as though we're back to square one the british government has always held russia responsible for the attack on the script and the interior secretary has asked them to come forward and explain what exactly happened the ice of the world are currently in russia not least because of the world cup it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone on there is speculation here that those responsible for the march attack may have dumped chemicals on their way through a mystery to be they quickest route to the motorway. of asia sharp joins us live

now from us so peter what is the last that we're hearing especially about this compared many to the item that the two people who got sick on saturday are said to have touched. well we don't know what the contaminated item or is but even more importantly we don't know where they were in the authorities don't know that either the home secretary said today there is a very strong assumption that the couple who were poisoned had gone to another place that wasn't what not none of the. areas that have been already searched and decontaminated but somewhere else and that is of course grave concern here because i mean it was it came as a bombshell that after months all of a sudden two more people. had contracted this this novacek and it's testament to how persistent and how survivable the nerve agent is and

if now they're saying that we don't know where they were when they picked up this latest dose of the nerve agent then that is of real of real concern i think there are signs along the streets that saying you know saul's re going to keep calm and and stay and stay calm. but there is a growing growing concern over over these these coming days and i guess perhaps peter that's why what he hearing so many news conferences by the police at least i guess free assuring the people there that they are you know trying to follow every lead but ultimately how reassured that the people that you've been speaking to in salzburg and the surrounding area are reassured do you think they're feeling right now. well it's difficult when you hear that they don't know well first of all i say look there's a very low risk of of anyone getting infected but when they don't know where that

we saw it was that obviously this couple were affected then it's of great concern because it did leaves you you know really needing some reassurance because when the police say that you know this is very low risk of someone getting infected if you don't know where these long term chemical timebombs are then how can you can you offer that sort of reassurance absolutely worrying times for the people living in saul's research in the peter sharper with the latest from seoul's we thank you. germany's chancellor and hungary's prime minister have held talks to discuss plans to control migration in the e.u. viktor or by that signaled his willingness to strike a deal with angela merkel which would limit the number of asylum seekers arriving in europe on monday merkel reached a compromise agreement with her conservative coalition partners to set up migrant

transit centers on germany's border with austria you know the german interior minister horse to see how far has held similar to similar talks with the austrian chancellor sebastian cortes see how far it clashed with angela merkel over her approach to immigration but agreed to deal with her at the weekend interior minister is in vienna to sell that deal to courts who has taken a hard anti immigration line since his election victory. let's go to france now where the prime minister has called for calm after a second night of violence in the western city of known dozens of cars shops and a library were torched following the fatal shooting of a twenty two year old driver during a routine stop by police the officers have has been taken into custody for questioning reports. the young people start trying to cause buildings and fruit with riot police while dozens of firefighters battle blazes the second night

of violence in nonce was sparked by the killing of a twenty two year old man by police on tuesday france's prime minister condemned the unrest and said an investigation has started it is to see the cases in the hands of the justice system and it will do its work thorley it with full transparency because everyone wants to know exactly what happens and i will make sure this is the case. the man killed was driving in this neighborhood when police stopped his car for a check police say he gave a fake identity than a properly reversed as if leaving prompting another officer to open fire ridiculous the fact that this individual has been joe jackson's june two thousand and seventeen off and their arrest warrant issued by the creative court for an organized group of criminals and maybe this will explain the logic behind the driver's attempt to flee. the. people here say tensions often run high between police and young people but the fatal shooting has shocked many. for

a so-called routine traffic stop because it can happen to anyone to be pulled over and asked for his papers in the car it should be simple maybe a search or something but i don't think there's a need for weapons the victim was from a paris suburb where nearly two hundred people have marched in protest against what they call police violence the concern for french authorities now is whether the arrest in norm's will spread to the capital and to other cities it's actually bottler al jazeera. at least forty nine people are missing after a tourist boat overturned off the coast of southern thailand the governor of peru kept says the search has been suspended because of strong winds and rough seas he says forty eight people have been rescued the boat was carrying chinese tourists as well as thai crew the local government says at least one body has so far been recovered. and rescuers in northern thailand say that they're in a race against time to extract a young football team from

what. now not brand and we'll stop that. and read it at that low rate well. we bring it all day on our top. but there's a weather deadline the monsoon rains are expected to return on sunday which is the biggest issue right now is it getting that water level down or training the boys. to get it. to get. one hundred thirty million liters of water have already been pumped out of the massive cave system now the water level not to be down to a level where the boys can walk all the way out any time soon but getting it is lowest possible helps reduce risk when they do finally leave. as well as much activity underground rescuers are searching above the cave looking for a possible altered it escape route. we are calculating the position of the children

and the corresponding position on the surface we are also mobilizing our teams to survey the jungle and about twenty to thirty teams of convergence area to survey for the holes that may be of use to our plan. the governor says if the risk assessment of bringing them out is a ninety percent success they will go for as with the weather forecast looks like that number will only get smaller got hotter al-jazeera. the owner of. kenya and another director have been charged with manslaughter after forty seven people were killed when the dam collapsed in may they were also charged with failure to prepare an environment impact assessment report for the facility seven other people have been charged katherine sawyer for us. more than two hundred families have since moved to different parts of this area some of the ones we talked with still very traumatized some of them decided to bury their loved ones

eastern side the mediterranean weather conditions are gerry not looking too bad we've got some showers are developing across the caucuses across georgia and i mean some of those showers could be pretty heavy at times for the arabian peninsula pretty quiet and all much as you'd expect with temperatures generally in the mid forty's on the gulf side then we've got to high humidity still forty two degrees as a maximum and it certainly early and late in the day it does feel quite oppressive as you move down into southern portions of africa we have got some showers around the coast of mozambique they can see otherwise it's a largely fine picture fine conditions in cape town temperatures there of nineteen degrees and through suffering not a great deal of change expected into central parts of africa and we've got some pretty hefty showers extending quite a long way north chutney share money or pick up the old showers across parts of west africa is pretty shallow the moment where the heaviest downpours likely be across guinea and guinea bissau.

reminder now of the top stories on al-jazeera syrian and russian forces a ramped up their offensive to capture a southwest syria launching hundreds of airstrikes on rebel held areas rescuers in northern thailand say they're in a race against time to extract a young football team from a flooded cave heavy rain is expected to hamper efforts in the coming days and britain has called on russia to explain itself after a man and the woman from poisoning by the know if a child can nerve agent in the city water a former russian spy was attacked. henri chalons has more now from moscow on

russia's reaction to the latest poisoning in the u k. the kremlin has come out with some comments the spokes person dmitri peskov says that he regrets that two britons are in a critical condition and hopes they recover swiftly the kremlin says it is very worried about this new poisoning incidents in britain worried that a nerve agent has been used once again in europe it says that cit categorically denies any involvement in the original source three incidents and that it proposed a joint investigation into the original attack britain unfortunately didn't agree those are the lines coming from the kremlin in the last hour now this line that the russians are still british to let them into the investigation into this crippled poisoning world that has been resurrected by russian parliamentarians as well in

the sense of the move now on to this new incidents and there's a man called of love emir chemin or who's the state duma defense committee chairman he says that russia should be allowed to help investigate this latest incident there is a need for a thorough and professional work he says in the efforts the british the security services will not be enough russia should get involved among other countries. so what exactly is the novacek nerve agent well novacek means newcomer in russian and it's a soviet era group of nerve agents developed as a cold war weapon in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's they were manufactured and tested at a top secret facility in what is now it was back east on that facility he was closed in one thousand nine hundred ninety three it's widely believed novacek agents are dispersed in a powered or form rather than gas or vapor like most nerve agents and are usually inhaled by victims they take effect quickly often within a minute and are designed to be resistant to conventional antidotes and treatment

victims suffer involuntary muscle muscle contractions that can lead to cardiac arrest and respiratory failure well philip ingram is a former intelligence and security officer and then expert in chemical and biological weapons he joins us live now from birmingham sir welcome to al-jazeera from everything that you have seen come out of this case amesbury and of course what happened a few months ago insoles bre itself what is what idea you making you getting of what is actually behind this i think it's almost certainly what the two individuals who are not in a very serious condition and sold regional hospital have done is they've come in contact with the detritus that's been left behind by the would be assassins who tried to kill surgeon did your scruple how difficult would it be to ascertain for certain that the novacek actually comes from the same batch or comes from the same

source i mean i know they're pretty much taken for granted but can we know for sure well you know the truck we've only ever seen it used once in the world that was a soldier in march the chances of there being two separate attacks with two different batches in a three month period against you know the latest targets are completely unknown completely on linked in the else that's virtually nil the issue that there isn't over talk it's a series of different chemicals porton down by. probably establish that this is the same one but whenever you're talking about you're getting into the same game of drugs and drug looking at signatures to say that exactly the same be made exactly the same time the british home secretary said today that the might not technically be able to do that that doesn't mean it isn't the same but it means that it isn't might not be the technology there to do it we're talking of minute quantities here yet and the police have said today that the couple that got sick on saturday probably handled a contaminated item now the sole bria path was months ago do we know how long the

nerve agent can actually survive. well whenever you describe with trucks like you missed out of a couple of things with it the powdered form is one form it can be in a liquid. or in the gel very few nerve agents in fact new nerve agents are. they tend to be in a liquid and different thickness of liquid and under absorption process apart from the the non-processed inversion which is siren the others tend to be absorbed through the skin so it skin contacts important another truck it's been designed to last for a long time it's described as a very persistent nerve agent so it could be around for months if not longer the other thing about it is it's been designed to be virtually undetectable by current metal detection technologies and the sort of things that the police would have and the emergency services would have so it's very very difficult to find at well in light of everything you've just explained now it's not a surprise that people in the area are feeling pretty anxious about what happened

not just a few months ago but obviously and now again this week what do you think authorities should do now what i think the advice should be to people who live around the area well i think the public health england advice saying that there is a very small risk to the general public is right but right in a way. they said that at the end of the script will attack and we've got two more people in a very serious. condition in hospital i think what should be doing is getting the people solved read a lookout for anything that seems unusual that's out of place and ask them not to touch it but i think they should set up a special team that things can be reported to and they can go very quickly and pick it up and take it away make sure it's it's disposed of so that the risk is reduced to an absolute minimum that the security services will not be focusing on trying to find out where these assassins have gone the path that they've gone to try and see if there's any other traces along that path philip ingram former intelligence is here he officer an expert in chemical and biological weapons sir thank you for

sharing your expertise with us. now at least nineteen people have been killed in a series of fireworks explosions near mexico city the red cross says the victims include firefighters police and paramedics who were attending one blast when a second explosion happened nearby at least thirty one others were injured while four warehouses were destroyed let's get more now from john homan who joins us live now from mexico city what more can you tell us about the stone. with this town to to pay it is known as the fireworks capital and that's because it's filled with workshops and it's filled with factories of people producing these fireworks especially from mexico city which is quite close to so what we know now as you mentioned that it was once it was an original explosion rescue workers time and went in to try and deal with that problem that set off a second explosion after that and so the rescue is actually some of them became the

victims what we now know is there are hundreds of police units that are getting to this zone is in sort of helicopters that room so we're trying to get there and deal with this problem and deal with the many injured from this explosion and so i mean in this particular case one explosion sort of caused the other one but it does seem these sorts of explosions do seem to happen relatively often in mexico. you're absolutely right not just in this town but all through mexico but just taking time to pick which as i said is not a suit that the mexican capital of four worked in the last twenty years there's been around forty accidents and there's been around one hundred people killed just in december of two thousand and sixteen thirty people died as people as fireworks will be made before christmas and every time it happens it suits big nights again at the bay in mexico about fireworks regulations is enough being done i want social regulations which are actually on the books to be made are they being followed and

are they being administrated in places like this town to to pick actually the market itself puts a central market in the town to make by what has been redesigned off the past accidents but it seems like it's not enough to prevent this sort of thing from keep happening to home and with the latest there from mexico city john thank you because the u.s. now with more than two thousand migrant children are still separated from their parents despite president donald trump ending the policy last month al-jazeera has spoken to a brazilian asylum seeker whose nine year old son was taken away from her at the mexico border and she hasn't seen him since gabrielle and his own as the story. she is so scared she would only speak to us by telephone if she came to us with her nine year old son seeking asylum cleaning her native brazil and not busuk husband who threatened to kill her when she crossed the border into america her nightmare

began border guards pried her son away from her grasp listen closely to what she says only regret the non-truth out and crying they're not holding onto money from work or they got to me in the rebel crying in the last second what happened and one cell was full of mothers the other packed with children both cells with a thick glass wall faced each other the majority don't think you're going to scream at them and climbing on the grass it's pretty decent wanting to get to the front where you see their parents across the barrel in iraq that you wouldn't know would there were going for when two pretty women but they're what i need to regard being fairly new ninety nine zero years. after two days her nightmare became even worse they went into the pharaoh and then all of a sudden i was in there walking with my son thanking him wait that was five weeks

ago it was the last time she saw her son. after more than three weeks in detention she was finally released but her son was not she is now living with relatives in the u.s. and lawyers working on her behalf have filed a lawsuit against the federal government to force immigration officials to reunite her with her son but so far that hasn't happened the same immigration officials say that asylum seekers that are detained are treated well but that wasn't her experience you know you wouldn't were treated really bad because there was no right to use that phrase and not meant that we paid for campaign it would member. remembrance now or if there were no working people or anything like that there were one. victim who are over now so because they were packing their things she's been able to phone her son only

a couple times the last time she was allowed three minutes on. one night he was crying. when he went to home and she couldn't compete against him. gabriel's onto. new york. venezuela's president nicolas window is urging his armed forces to be on guard following reports that the u.s. president raised the possibility of invading venezuela all this donald trump asked his foreign policy advisers why he couldn't send u.s. forces into venezuela which the troubled ministration has branded a corrupt left wing dictatorship during a military ceremony on wednesday were a little cold on his troops to remain vigilant and accuse trump of paving of having a criminal and supremacist. according to a city official donald trump insisted various times during a private meeting with the president of colombia with other allied right wing

presidents the one by one the cumbersome so they would accept his idea of military intervening in venezuela we rejected this we repudiated this at the time and to our national armed forces admirals generals you cannot let your guard down not for one second at least thirty three people have died during a heatwave in eastern canada officials say it's the hottest to hit quebec in several decades with temperatures reaching thirty four degrees and stifling humidity many of the victims are believed to have had health issues and did not have air conditioning in their homes. special events have been taking place across britain for the seventieth anniversary of the national health service it's a universal health care system guaranteeing free access to treatment regardless of income or status but i made the celebrations there are serious questions over its future as paul brennan now reports. the n.h.s.

is the world's fifth biggest employer with around one point five million staff offering more than two thousand three hundred different surgical procedures and treating a million patients every thirty six hours health care should be like this it should be free at the point of access i don't think patients should have to worry about how when they're poorly how they're going to fund things and the scope and complexity of the treatment that it now offers the n.h.s. is almost unrecognisable from the service first founded seventy years ago but one thing remains the same the driving principle behind it all in the words of nih bevan the then health minister in one nine hundred forty eight no society can legitimately call itself civilized if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means the n.h.s. has helped the u.k. average life expectancy rise from sixty eight years in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight to eighty one years now wonderful new drugs new technologies just look at the huge revolution happening in digital how we embrace innovation because with

innovation we can improve the quality and safety of care but that longevity means today's n.h.s. is facing unforeseen challenges from obesity dementia cancer and cardiovascular disease earlier this year a parliamentary committee warned that the n.h.s. finances were in a perilous state an extra twenty seven billion dollars was pledged last month but the government spending watchdog warn that even that was not enough to improve services hospital administrators are contemplating difficult choices based on clinical outcomes and affordability and if we see procedures if we see things that we doing in the n.h.s. aren't value for money then let's have that conversation probably to say actually it would be better off spending the money doing something else or looking after a group of patients in a different way the n.h.s. remains free at the point of access but there after there are no guarantees social

care. the elderly is in crisis it is a very special people my age the older you get when i want to. have to have coffee and we have got people that change they don't want to go because i know all they need on the rain and they don't know how they're going to. find anything to emplace so that they have that reassurance and they know that they will still be cared for when they go home the problems have not gone unnoticed there are regular demonstrations against hospital closures and cutbacks this protest last weekend attracted thousands of marchers the public affection for the n.h.s. remains undimmed and there is much to celebrate about the past seventy years but the prognosis for the service remains uncertain. paul brennan joins us live now from outside st thomas' hospital in central london most people in the u.k. very proud of the n.h.s. but it's not all birthday cake and celebrations for the seventieth birthday is it.

no it isn't so i mean there have been celebrations at westminster abbey there was a service jeremy hunt the health secretary attended there was a statement read by to resign from to resign made the prime minister who couldn't attend because she was in germany she had cell phone n.h.s. patients she's got type one diabetes and the statement from a describe the n.h.s. is one of the nation's most precious institutions warm words indeed but there are grave doubts serious doubts about where politicians the government successive governments are taking the n.h.s. and it's all very well looking back with more. about the health services previous seventy years where is it going in the next ten or twenty you know joining me to talk about that is dr sanja artists are she is a junior doctor she is going to be a g.p. in the not too distant sonya you're the doctor the n.h.s. is the patient how is the patient doing. we have had twenty thousand more

tests on average in the first four months of this year we had sixteen thousand patients in the first week this year waiting outside a nice on on basis we can get many mixed hospitals we're not making cuts meets cuts waiting times having patients being treated. and they are forming some shortages across the n.h.s. we have seen the west prices and n.h.s. history in the winter prices is now becoming a long crisis say the tickets are projected a need mission rates in twenty weights this summer going to be at best the winter price of two thousand and fifteen but we know there have been problems yet the government is putting extra money in a factory some may just last month announced an extra twenty billion pounds twenty seven billion dollars by twenty twenty three twenty four i mean that will address the situation. ok so let's look at this in context you had eight years of underfunding and eight years of cuts the n.h.s. cut social care cuts to public health what they promised was three point four percent that's below the four percent needed four percent is just to keep the

n.h.s. at the current level it's a no no money public health they money they should have named money for training and need money for stuff and so it's they know it's been a which is needed and that the way that they've spun it as if this is a large amount of money went when everyone including the think tanks that line health select committee have always said this is money that's needed to us and just to keep the n.h.s. a place so do you think there will still be an advantage in this case the motorbike going past the n.h.s. will it still be an n.h.s. in seventy years or even just ten or twenty years from now i mean it sounds like there is more privatization in the in the pipeline. so what we've seen over the past vs increasingly will be with the two thousand and twelve they just nation that shinji introduced the market and was and fragment ties the n.h.s. i'm increasingly seeing more and more services being outsourced to the private sector and. we're running very short on time so i just i'm going to have to stop the thank you very much as you can see this is not the first person that we've

heard it from we had a earlier as well despite the celebrations there are really serious concerns about the future of the n.h.s. here in the u.k. paul brennan outside st thomas' hospital in central london paul thank you. still ahead. in sports we're going to hear from the french camp about why their young star is. being.

held. now here said i with the sports starting with the world cup. thank you very much barbara we are just a day away from the quarter finals of the world cup and there are two huge matches on friday with france playing your quiet brazil face in belgium as andy richardson found out says in russia so the atmosphere regardless of where they are from. well after eight years of preparation we have eight teams and eight games left in this world cup red square just outside of the kremlin which has become an informal gathering point for fans from all over the world and really regardless of whether or not that seems have made it through to the quarterfinals none of the supporters seem to be in a rush to leave the people of the world cup in general have been a religious service for the country it's difficult to know if this is russia like all the time i think it's the world cup fever that make its special people so

amazing in seoul giving information for those who love. impressive for me you know people are on the wall you know celebrating the beauty of the game their love of. friday's first quarter final season euro quite on france now killing him back by really announced himself on a global stage for france in their last sixteen game against argentina he looked dangerous throughout and scored two goals we've been talking to the former french international florimel luda about how good he thinks and backpay and this french team can be is very ambitious of course he's going to work even with these young age he wants to be among the best in the scene then they're. like one of the best so what he's doing i think for you me is normal for is that normal but that is normal level of performance and the.

type of players we need british open. we deliver that's what they do in their. in their clubs brazil versus belgium is fridays of again brazil have conceded just warming goals sorry for the tournament favorites and i haven't been behind at any point in any gang bolger mean wall where they had to come back from two goals down against japan in their last sixteen game so when three two one norwood seeming forty eight has come back from such a deficit and want to gain in the knockout rounds they're looking to reach the semifinals for the first time since nineteen eighty six. speed around the field the hassim people on social media and his teammates. to something out of the computer game you think i'm not here killian does it like an official video games like when you push one button for acceleration and. you cannot do

anything as it does that the right moment is the technically skilled and talented player and i think he's realised he can pass the many different in the world so if you pushes the ball and accelerates off to three or four metres it's going to be very hard for anyone to stop it. and overnight rain delay at wimbledon has worked wonders for world number eighty two. through to the third round of a grand slam for the first time ever after upsetting last year's runner up mind chill it or the number three c. there had been two sets up but one play resumed on thursday but he couldn't regain his dominance took command in the fourth set tiebreaker before going on to claim his first ever win against a player in the top five and there was no trouble for rafael nadal on the court as he eased into the third round with a straight sets win but the world number one received a penalty in the second set for sitting in his chair too long the dollar has previously or quested the empire color span and this not officiate his matches.

opening stage of little and says that the says enough to drop the case is a huge weight off his shoulders i think. this year's race is going to be the biggest challenge of my career i think given this is for friends who are entering consecutively. it is a massive goal we try to transform the fish to some degree foreign tourists consecutively on the back of the venture and through that i've never done before so this is a complete and. i've gone from the sport limited around me and of this year i've got a lot of work cut out ahead of me. shocks half again for surface from the water during the final of the j. bay well certainly event is south africa the events carried on that despite the safety concerns with brazil philippe dolittle winning the final to claim number one spot in the rankings and that's it for me back to barbara. sign that said thank you
