12:04 pm
they will be procedures that will have to be delayed only adding to a vast backlog. beatrice is already struggling to cope with 7 and a half 1000000 elected procedures that have been delayed over the last couple of years. a service that many say is on the verge of collapse, but the nurses say certain critical care sectors are protected, pediatric intensive care, in particular, some cancer services, as well as far as the public concern that we do here, the tooting. as i said, the support as they drive by the opinion, polls suggest still broad support for the nurses in all of this. and as the public lookout opposed to say, this wave of public sector strikes not just health, but transport the airport, the board of stop bus drivers, and more what they see is a public sector generally that he's broken and that they assume for now must be the fault of the government. okay. and how thank you very much from oxford. or the irish army says one of it soldiers with the you ins peacekeeping mission in lebanon

12:06 pm
in the years and months up until this policy relaxation taking place. the hope is of course, that because of those relax station things will bounce back. but as a say next dictation from says it could take at least 6 more months for that to happen because they expect that would be a period between now and the middle of next year. when it'll take a lot of time for the public to get more confident with the idea of the latest variance, if cov, at 19 being acceptable in society and the way that they have already become so much of the rest of the world. and it's that time period that could be crucial for china because it's already struggling with high levels of unemployment and low levels of growth, which are not necessarily going to be sustainable without huge extra injections of stimulus from the central bank. and while that money may be available, it might not be something that policy makers of initially hope they would have to spend just to try and find a way of trying to transition out to this long standing 0 tolerance approach in what is now a much more relaxed state of affairs,

very near to where he was fishing. so i'm amazing. got right in next to the, the sinking boat and managed to come alongside an unsafe we get 31 people on board. this latest tragedy is once again down to people, traffickers, they're not deterred by freezing weather. neither it seems or the migrants channel crossings is that ongoing humanitarian crisis and people traffickers have never been busier. at the same time, politicians are running short of ideas on how to stop them. it is not crude or unkind. to want to break the stranglehold of the criminal gangs, he trade in human misery, and he exploit our system and our knows, i'm sure the whole house will share my sorrow at the capsizing of a small boat in the channel in the early hours of this morning and the tragic loss of human life,
12:19 pm
our hearts go out all those affected and less than 24 hours before these deaths. u . k. prime minister wishes sooner could been talking about new measures to curb the channel crossings. but so far, every measure the u. k. government introduces, as failed, the needs to be sanctioned. the great, that's the biggest issue that we've got on my men is the people are making the journey from cali because there is nile. and other way of doing it, you have to be on british soil on the island in order to seek asylum as night. sensor and callaway eating imus items that people have a choice. but to make this, danny, a nice that the single biggest thing that the government could do in order to prevent people having to risk their life here, dover, lightfoot, station, they've seen it all before. people trafficking across the channel is at record levels 40000 this year. under the weekend alone, 500 risk their lives, tragedies are all too frequent. this time more lives will save them last. but that isn't always the case. must november 27 lives were lost in the channel. the highest

12:22 pm
a charity in france or utopia 56, received a voice mail message from somebody are actually on the boat at the time of it, of it actually sinking. i calling for help saying, we have children here we are, we are desperate for help. please, please help me cuz they were actually in the water when this happened is it's a message lassie. something like 20 seconds the a charity reported to the rescue services immediately. what had happened, they claim that was a one hour delay, certainly on the french side, in terms of a response to it, but at the end of the day, more lives will save them last. but the controversy over what to do with the channel crossings still rages on british politicians are debating ways of stopping cutting down asylum applications and trying to stop the,
12:23 pm
the crossings taking place, calling for joints m p 's here, calling for joint operations between the french and british to try and get the people traffickers on the right on the coast, on the beaches and trying to combat the problem at that sort of level. but really years and years on this is still going on, lives is still being lost and the politicians really aren't making much progress is organized crime. that seems to be successful more or more in this situation. okay, thank you so much for that update. that is andrew summons for us and diver. lasagna is putting a price cap on gas and coal as it tries to curb soaring prices. parliament has approved a plan to set a price limit on energy supply, as it also says it will help households and businesses transition from gas to electricity inflation and to warn ukraine have pushed up estrella power prices. hundreds of people have rallied and assemble in support of the mere after
