welcome to bbc news. the nhs in england has rejected claims that there's a humanitarian crisis in its hospitals. the comments from the british red cross come as figures show a&e departments have had to shut their doors to patients more than 140 times in december because of a lack of beds. but nhs england says plans are in place to cope and that talk of any humanitarian crisis is overblown. this afternoon the labour leaderjeremy corbyn called upon the government to take urgent action. speaking to my colleague, martine croxall, he explained why he thought the situation was so bad this year. it's got worse this winter compared to last and it's got worse over the last few years and it's a combination of underfunding of the national health service, terrible pressure placed on a&e

departments, lack of beds to move people on to and, of course, part of the problem is the backup caused by the lack of social care provided by local authorities, so many cannot leave hospital when they should have been discharged in order to be cared for at home. how much though of a responsibility do we, as the public, bear in that we turn up sometimes at a&e with anything that we feel might needs urgent treatment but it's not actually a proper emergency? i think it's the wrong emphasis to start blaming the public for this. the issue is the lack of funding of the health service and social care. 0bviously, people should only go to the a&e when they need to be there and i think most people behave in a proper and responsible manner. one of the problems is that the delays on getting a gp appointment or a shortage of gps means people go to a&e because they can't get access to any other form of health care.

we need to deal with the social care crisis urgently, the funding crisis urgently for our hospitals, most of whom are in debt and many of whom would have been on emergency alert over the past few weeks because of the crisis and it needs government intervention now. to be criticised by the red cross is unprecedented, in my memory, when the red cross, essentially a voluntary organisation, is helping out the nhs. now, obviously thank you to everyone that helps people out, that's how of course good society work, but we have health care as a human right in this country. that's what the nhs is for. the nhs needs the money now in order to care for everybody. but how much would that cost? if you look at labour's nhs policy about securing nhs and social care, bringing them into a publicly provided service and reversing marketisation, as your party calls it, how much would that cost

and where would the money come from? it would come from a combination of ending the internal market in the nhs which is very expensive and also reversing the corporate tax cuts that the government announced it was going to put through in the autumn statement and which i raised with the prime minister during prime minister's question time. we raised it at over 500 events in december when the labour party organised a national day of action on the nhs. the crisis is now, real and it's here and surely it's the biggest wake—up call ever, that the red cross calls it a humanitarian crisis in our hospitals. that was jeremy corbyn. drjeeves wijesuriy is joint chair of the bmajunior doctor committee. he's been telling me he's grateful for the red cross intevention. the red cross work all over the world and they are talking about what we are seeing in a&es

in places like worcestershire, we have seen there have been two deaths — a gentleman died after a cardiac arrest after waiting 35 hours in a&e, that is unacceptable and the tragedy and grief the family is going through is unacceptable because it is a political choice that this government has made to underfund and under—resource the health service. is it really as straightforward as that? is it not that demand for all sorts of medical services is rising and a&e departments are included? it is a culmination of many things but this chronic underfunding is at the heart of what we have to resolve if we are going to find some solution. and the reality is that it is not just in areas like a&e. fundamentally we must address the lack of resources, the recruitment crisis we have got from gp services all the way through to social care, to ease the congestion we can see with increased demand and also the under—resourcing

and understaffing and underfunding of the service. don't you think we all must play our part? a&e departments come under tremendous strain on friday and saturday night, a lot of people who have drunk too much? talking about a&e? that puts strain on the service, should there not be more education about only going when you really need to? it is easy for us to say, let us look at this one specific area, but we have heard from so many front—line staff, from start to finish, every day that we see in every a&e. we can see that there is not enough funding, not enough staff, and although we are trying to squeeze more efficiencies from the system, we are at breaking point and that is the reality, we need the prime minister to step in and address this or there will be more casualties of this underfunding. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered

two people have been arrested after a smoke bomb was let off during a protest outside harrods department store. the protest, which blocked roads in the knightsbridge area of central london, was organised by the union that represents hospitality workers in the store as part of a row over tips. sarah harris has this report. chanting, a smoke bomb and arrests — not what is expected on saturday in the heart of knightsbridge. this demonstration was in support of harrods restaurant staff, who it is claimed are not allowed to keep most of their tips. the day before yesterday they did admit they had been taking 50% and they gave no explanation. that 50% figure is refuted by staff and we have had access to internal records of harrods and it is clearly more than 50%. many london restaurant staff are allowed to keep their tips. some managers say that does notjust bolster their relatively low wages. if it is a good establishment,

if they make good tips, people are likely to be loyal and remain in the business for a long time. and if that happens, the business benefits from the loyalty of the staff and of those customers who are coming and making the business a success. but there is anger over harrods and other businesses using a so—called tronque system of dividing up the service charge that diners pay. in a statement, harrods said they employ a50 staff in 16 different restaurants and they're all earning above the living wage. but they say they are looking into the way they distribute the service charge to see if it can be improved. the repair bill to fix the country's potholes could soon reach £14 billion. that's according to councils in england and wales, who say the government should pay

for the repairs from fuel duty. the government says it's already putting £250 million into fixing the problem, but the local government association says that's not enough, as duncan kennedy reports. councils fix 2 million potholes every year. that is about 12,000 for every local authority in england and wales. but it never seems to be enough. now, the councils claim the repair bill could soon reach £14 billion. hard—pressed councils, who are mending, you know, a pothole every five seconds in this country, just cannot get to the core of the problem, which is actually many of our roads are just being patched now. they need to be fully repaired. the councils say the government must do more to help, and suggest increasing fuel duty by a couple of pence a litre, a figure they say the public would support. but it is notjust the cost of repairing all these potholes that seems to be on the increase.

today's report also found that the time it is taking appears to be on the rise as well, going up from ten years in 2006 to 14 years today. last year, the government announced a £250 million pothole repairfund to help 100 councils fix 4 million potholes. but today's report by local councils suggest that is not enough, and that the pothole problem is actually getting worse. coming up in a moment... we're joined by viewers on bbc one for a round—up of all the day's news. claims that hospitals in england face a humanitarian crisis are rejected by the nhs. the british red cross says it's had to step in to help patients over the winter, but nhs bosses say they have plans in place to cope. a humanitarian crisis? no, i think that is an overstatement at this stage. clearly, demand is very high

and it's higher than it's ever been. but today, labour's leaderjeremy corbyn called upon the government to take urgent action. also tonight: nearly 50 people are killed in a tanker lorry bombing in syria. a british—born pensioner is named as one of the victims of yesterday's florida shooting. it has been an incredible night... and sir andy murray is beaten by novak djokovic in the final of the qatar 0pen. the nhs in england has rejected claims that there's a "humanitarian crisis" in its hospitals. the comments from the british

red cross come as figures show a&e departments have had to shut their doors to patients more than 140 times in december because of a lack of beds. this afternoon, the labour leader jeremy corbyn called upon the government to take urgent action, but nhs england says plans are in place to cope and that talk of any humanitarian crisis is overblown. there are flashing images in smitha mundasad's report. winter pressures in accident & emergency — some patients waiting a long time to be seen, beds closed because of the winter vomiting bug. this picture isn't new. but the british red cross says the strain on england's hospitals is so great it amounts to a humanitarian crisis. in recent years, red cross volunteers have been helping patients at home after spells in hospital. but the charity says that cuts to social care means patients do not have the right support at home.

so they end up back in a&e. and the system cannot cope. well, the definition of a humanitarian crisis is something that affects a large number of people, their health and well—being, for a prolonged period of time. and the fact is, if you just look at the numbers, more than half a million people who used to receive social care no longer do. the charity's volunteers says they have seen patients being discharged from hospital without clothing. others being sent home with no food in their fridge and some have no one to look after them once they have left the ward. figures from nhs england show that overflowing a&e departments had to close their doors to new patients more than 140 times over the last month. compare that to the same month in 2015 and it is up more than 60%. nhs england denies the situation is at such an extreme breaking point. a humanitarian crisis? no, i think that's an overstatement at this stage. clearly, demand is very

high and it's higher than it has ever been, but we have the most comprehensive plans in place that we ever had, but it is very difficult at the moment. eyebrows may have been raised by the red cross choosing to use words more often used to describe a war—torn country, but last year's figures show there were some 350,000 more visits to a&es like this one between december and february 2016 and that's a pattern that front line staff are worried is set to get worse. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, is calling on the prime minister to give an urgent statement on monday about what the government is going to do. this is a wake—up call to properly fund our nhs and social care so that those who are in a desperate situation that need care outside of hospital are able to get that care. local authorities don't have the money to do it. the department of health says it has added in extra money for health and social care and put contingency plans in place earlier than usual.

its statistics show that beds are not as full as they were this time last year. but nhs england's chiefs say staff are facing levels of pressure that have not been seen before. smitha mundasad, bbc news. it's emerged a british—born woman was among the five victims of a shooting at an airport in florida yesterday. 0lga woltering — originally from ipswich but a long term resident of the united states — was killed when a gunman opened fire in the baggage hall of fort lauderdale airport. the suspect esteban santiago, was a veteran who served in iraq, and has a long history of mental health problems. he was also known to the fbi, as gary 0'donoghue reports. a mother, grandmother, a great—grandmother and a wife. a great—grandmother and wife.

0lga woltering was born in britain but lived in the united states for decades. today, her church in georgia described her death as a "tragedy" and paid tribute to a joyful, loving person. also among the dead, 57—year—old michael 0ehme, who was on his way with his wife for a caribbean cruise. 0lga woltering was born in britain but lived in the united states for decades. today, her church in georgia described her death also among the dead, 57—year—old michael 0ehme, who was on his way with his wife for a caribbean cruise. three others died in yesterday's carnage. the gunman used a semi—automatic weapon in the baggage hall, scattering terrified passengers, people running for their lives. 0nce he'd finished shooting, reports say he threw aside his weapon and lay spread—eagled on the ground waiting to be arrested. this is the man police have named as the gunmen. named as the gunman. esteban santiago, 26—year—old former member of the military. his family say he'd been receiving psychological help after his discharge last

august. his aunt has said he was never the same after returning from serving in iraq in 2011. as things started to return to normal at the airport, it's emerged that santiago had been in touch with the fbi as recently as november last year. 0ne anonymous source has said he told agents that the government was ordering him to watch videos from the islamic state group. the agents themselves noted the erratic behaviour that concerned them and motivated them to call the local authorities to have him taken into custody and evaluated at a medical facility for his mental health. questions are also being raised about the ease with which santiago was able to transport and use his weapon at a supposedly secure a place like an airport. it's legal to put a gun in checked baggage in the us, as long as it's locked in a case and unloaded. but you can carry ammunition in the same case.

santiago will appear on monday in court on federal charges. but while his motivations will continue to be probed, there are also serious questions about how a man already appeared on the authorities' radar could seemingly go on to commit such a heinous crime. gary 0'donoghue, bbc news, fort lauderdale, florida. at least 40 people have been killed by a massive bomb in a fuel tanker in syria. no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, although so—called islamic state is suspected. the blast ripped through a central market in the town of azaz, which lies on the border with turkey. from neighbouring lebanon, alex forsyth sent this report. alarms fear, panic and chaos — the aftermath of this morning's explosion. many were killed, others wounded by the attack outside a courthouse in a busy commercial district in the centre of the city. translation: a car bomb went off

in the city centre near civilians. there are no fighters here, all of them are civilians. as rescue workers searched for survivors and bodies, no—one had claimed responsibility for this attack, but the city is no stranger to such scenes. azaz is a stronghold of turkish—backed syrian rebels involved in a major operation to clear so—called islamic state from northern syria, close to the turkish border. in recent days, turkish forces and rebels have continued to target is, which isn't included in a fragile ceasefire covering much of syria. azaz has become home to people who have fled fighting elsewhere. today's attack shows that, despite the ceasefire largely holding, people in syria are continuing to die. alex forsyth, bbc news, beirut. donald trump has said that when he's president, russia will have far more respect

for the us than it does now. the president—elect tweeted that having a good relationship with russia was a good thing, saying only "stupid people orfools would think otherwise." an intelligence report yesterday accused russia of interfering in the us election. london underground workers will go on strike tomorrow in industrial action that could affect up to four million commuters. talks aimed at averting a strike broke down today. our business correspondentjoe lynam is at king's cross station in central london. joe, take us through the details. just over three years ago, london underground, in an effort to save money, started a process to close the ticketing offices at old 270 tube stations in london. 830 posts we re tube stations in london. 830 posts were closed, including control room staff that monitored cctv. that was a safety risk too far for the

unions, the are empty and dts as a and they demanded jobs be reinstated in the control room and it hasn't happened at the paste the union wa nted happened at the paste the union wanted and so they have spent the last week with management at the conciliation service acas to find a solution. that solution has not been found and that means from 6pm tomorrow, stations in central london will be closed for 24 hours and on monday morning, millions of people will have a serious issue getting into work and as will the retail sector face problems, into work and as will the retail sectorface problems, because plenty will not be able to get into and out of the city. so the issue is you must plan ahead and if you can, work from home. thank you very much. the prime minister theresa may is promising to unveil a far—reaching programme of social reform to tackle what she calls the everyday injustices which working families experience. in an article in the sunday telegraph, she says that when people voted for brexit, they also voted to change the way the country works. 0ur political correspondent

carole walkerjoins me. iam i am tempted to say what exactly does she mean? do we know what more she will be saying? the prime minister in this article says the brexit vote was a quiet revolution from people who feel the system has been stacked against them and she is making it clear her government, conservative government, is prepared to intervene with a wide—ranging programme of social reform. she returns to the theme of those words she spoke when she first entered downing street as prime minister, talking about tackling the burning injustices and she says the government is going to go further and tackle the everyday injustices which ordinary working families feel. they may be above the benefit level but they are still finding it difficult to get by. she is making a big speech on monday, we will hear more about this, we are told this will be a mission statement ahead of announcements on education, industrial strategy, on housing and a cross industrial strategy, on housing and a cross government approach on mental health. there is a lot of very ambitious language here but we

have heard very little from theresa may since she became prime minister in the six months, very little on her domestic policy, and i think people there will be waiting to see what policies she comes up with and what policies she comes up with and what differences those policies make. thank you. with all the sport now, here's karthi at the bbc sport centre. good evening. sir andy murray's winning run of 28 consecutive victories came to an end today when the world number one lost the qatar 0pen tennis final to novak djokovic. the match, which took almost three hours, was described as "physically tough" by both players, but it was djokovic that won in three sets. adam wild reports. stepping out of the shadows and into the macro tonight, the sport's newest night now knows he faces a battle to keep his name at the top of the game. to do that, sir andy murray must keep ahead of world number two novak djokovic, something

he wasn't able to do in the first set of this, the pair's first final of the year. as sporting rivalries 90, of the year. as sporting rivalries go, there are now few so closely fought anywhere. that, it seemed, wasn't about to change. the first set to the serbian. and that is where the second and the title also seemed to be heading. still, andy murray has an inner steel with which all of tennis is now familiar, saving three match points before taking the set. these are encounters is worth savouring. but having been hauled back once, djokovic wouldn't be again, he finally taking his chance and, with it, the tournament. the smile is worth savouring. but having been hauled back once, djokovic wouldn't be again, he finally taking his chance and, with it, the tournament. the smiles perhaps don't tell the full story. this is a rivalry that could define the tennis year ahead. it's time to pop out of the room if you don't want to know what happened in today's fa cup third round games, as match of the day follows soon on bbc one. wayne rooney equalled sir bobby charlton's record as manchester united's all—time leading goalscorer with his

249th goal for the club, as united beat reading 4—0. rooney said it was a "proud moment". the fa cup holders are through to the fourth round of the competition, as are millwall — at the expense of premier league side, bournemouth. millwall, from league one, were 3—0 winners. the results of all of today's 25 fa cup games are on the bbc sport website. leicester city won their all—premier—league tie against everton. arsenal were given a scare by preston north end, who took an early lead, but arsenal booked their place in the fourth round for a 21st consecutive year under arsene wenger. championship club wolves knocked out the premier league's stoke city. while stourbridge, the lowest—ranked club still in the competition, were only beaten by a late wycombe wanderers winner. sir mo farah finished in seventh place in his first race of the season. the two—time double olympic champion struggled through the 8km great edinburgh cross country course and admitted he's "a little bit behind" in his preparations for the year ahead, which includes

the world athletics championships. today's race was won by america's leonard korir. and that's all your sport. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. that's all from me goodnight. the weather for tomorrow is similar to today with fog in some parts of the uk, even getting into lower levels and that could cause issues on the roads. if you are on the move early and often will be clear skies and the touch of frost for scotland and the touch of frost for scotland and east of the pennines but for

most of us, it is a dull, grey start, patchy rain and drizzle over many the skies will get brighter through the day but it will get dollar to the west of scotland because here you will see thickening cloud with a weather front pushing in and outbreaks of rain becoming extensive. still some practice and sunshine further east. wetter for northern ireland for the middle of the day and skies brightening for the day and skies brightening for the afternoon. misty for the hills of england and wales and east of the pennines, sunshine, and for the east of wales on the odd glimmer of sunshine elsewhere but for most, cloudy skies and the odd spot of drizzle but a fairly mild one. at any of the fa cup matches across the country on sunday, hopefully the action on the page will be more exciting than the colour of the sky overhead. it stays grey and quite misty for the journey home. they misty for the journey home. they mist and low cloud more extensive across england and wales, it lifts in scotland and northern ireland

because the breeze picks up. and rain will take this into monday morning. a mild and start from monday but it is a day of change with a weather front working southwards through the day so wet start with gales and places for scotla nd start with gales and places for scotland and northern ireland and that wet, windy weather pushes into england and wales for the afternoon and the south—east will continue with south—westerly winds but it turns colder and brighter through the day with frequent further north and west. severe gales and well—being to end the day across the hebrides. with that comes the colder airand into hebrides. with that comes the colder air and into tuesday and then things turn milderfor a time for the biddle of the week but it is short lived, colder airfrom biddle of the week but it is short lived, colder air from the arctic plunges down, even as far as southern france and northern spain. and with that, things will be more wintry than we have been used to distract the week. windy spell for next week, that bad spell midweek but later gone but later gone for thursday and friday, some of us could even get snow.

hello, this is bbc news with nicholas 0wen. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines. labour has called on the government to give the health service
