49 years after mainline steam officially ended. danny savage, bbc news, cumbria. fake written's olympic written‘s olympic cycling champions are expecting their first child. four—time gold—medallist laura revealed the news with a post on instagram of two adult likes lined up instagram of two adult likes lined up alongside a child's like. —— b i cycle. up alongside a child's like. —— bicycle. now it is time the newsnight with evan davis. the north korean regime is a danger to its own people but is it now out of control and a danger to the rest of control and a danger to the rest of the world? the apparent murder of this man, kim jong—un‘s of the world? the apparent murder of this man, kimjong—un‘s half brother, is assassinated. the former ambassador will help us make sense of what's happening in enigmatic nation. also tonight, the
11:16 pm
national security adviser michael flynn is fired for lying about what he said to the russians. this was an act of trust and that was ultimately what led to the president asking for and accepting the resignation of michael flynn. what does the affair tell us about donald trump and the way he runs his white house? and the pressures on the nhs are not abating. the situation at the moment is the worst i've seen since i started working as a doctor 17 years ago. the worst problem now is that i can't see that there is any light at the end of the tunnel. we take an in—depth look at this birmingham hospital, where the patient stack up in the corridors. absolutely heartbreaking. the reality is you can't get them into an assessment area quick enough because at the moment we haven't got beds for people who are waiting for beds. we ask if the nhs is in crisis. you may
11:17 pm
not have heard of kim jong—un‘s brother what you might have heard about him. his career took a dive after a botched trip to disneyland in tokyo. the half brother and sometime rival to the man who was eventually picked to rule. well, kim jong nam is getting strange circumstances at the airport in kuala lumpur. he was in his 40s living in exile and there are new theories about what is happening. north korea is an oligarchic country, held in the most repressive circumstances on it. the strange goings—on inside are always intriguing but at a time like this events may also be a bit consequential. this report from north korea, on what we know and
11:18 pm
don't know about the death. only a paranoid tyrant would want kim jong nam dead, but it was his bad luck that his younger half brother, the ruler of north korea, tested high for both the rooney and paranoia. the apparent assassination of kim jong nam at kuala lumpur airport raises two important questions, how and why. first, how did kimjong nam die? he was returning from a trip to malaysia on monday, where he was attacked and fell fatally ill at kuala lumpur airport. as for the murder weapon there are conflicting reports. one source says two women we re reports. one source says two women were behind the attack, stabbing him with poise and needles. but a malaysian police officer told reuters news agency that he felt someone grab or hold his face from behind. he felt dizzy and asked for help.
11:19 pm
police in kuala lumpur are said that the murder weapon was a cloth laced with poison. according to sources in washington, the prime suspects are north korean agents. so, why was he killed? the best text on the domestic murders on the korean regime was called macbeth. kim jong—un‘s hunger to rule leads him to kill anyone who might stand between him and his rule on power. so far, he is believed to have executed 340 officials. but kim jong—nam, here he is as a boy here with his dad, hardly cut a threatening figure. though groomed for the top, he fell out of favour in 2001 when he was busted byjapanese authorities for entering the country on a fake passport, using the chinese alias for fat bear. he told interrogators that he wanted to visit disneyland. he went into exhile in macau as a plump playboy but a shrewd
11:20 pm
critic of his younger brother's regime. without reforms, he said, the country's economy would go bankrupt. but reforms are fraught with the danger of systemic collapse. what will be the effect of the killing inside of north korea? this is the most high—profile assassination ever conducted by the kim regime and will signal the elites of north korea that there are really no limits. nobody is safe, everyone is vulnerable and if this was an assassination, it is very likely that it will be followed by massive purges. welcome to the real north korea. i went to north korea undercover in 2013. a few months later i interviewed donald trump, who, chatting before the interview proper, seemed fascinated by the hermit kingdom. so how could this strange relationship between trump
11:21 pm
and kim jong—un play out? if, faced by a set of circumstances that is likely to result in the fall of the kim regime, nuclear weapons will be used. the kim regime will have no qualms about using nuclear weapons against their south korean brethren and others. dealing with north korea's murderous tyranny will require patience, diplomacy and geopolitical skill. qualities that president trump so far has shown little sign of. with me here in london is the former british ambassador to north korea, john everard. is that the right assumption? we don't know, all we know he is one or two women killed this man at the airport, was at kim jong—un or another part of the north current drought. was it an old lover?
11:22 pm
kimjong—nam had a complicated sex life, maybe one day we will find out? right, but was he a rival to his younger half brother? some say that the chinese maybe thought the other one is going mad, all sorts of ideas. there were different thoughts about how north korea could change. there were different thoughts, kim jong—nam was a member of the royal family. he was older than kimjong un, which, in korean terms, would have put him in the line for succession. that's where he was, before that strange trip to tokyo, trying to go to disneyland. perhaps, if it was kimjong un, he thought resistance to his rule might have less around a member of the royal family and, like macbeth, the best way to deal with a situation was to take him out. so killing him would be
11:23 pm
a sign of vulnerability rather than strength? he has what looks like absolute power but maybe he is feeling insecure rather than secure? well, yes. any regime where the royal family feels they need to kill members of its own is insecure and unstable. is this a flailing regime that is a danger now to the rest of the world? a sick dog running around? is it something that is a problem for everybody? it is a problem for everybody. i wouldn't say it's a flailing regime, in many ways, kimjong un has reaffirmed control. but, it is a regime that has talked itself into believing that the only way that it can stay in business is by developing ever more terrifying weapons of mass destruction and, as we were saying just now, chances are that if the crunch came they would press the trigger. you think that faced with a choice of the regime failing or pushing the button, they would
11:24 pm
push the button? it's not what i think it's what they say. they have set out not quite a nuclear doctrine but circumstances in which they would use nuclear weapons in detail. they've made it clear that they are thinking about nuclear first strike, not just deterrence. first strike. is it coincidence that rather a lot has happened in president trump's first month in office? we've had the missile test while he was with minister. you could hardly have had a more opportune moment for kim jong—un to say, look what i am doing with a ballistic missile test. plus, this. it seems like too much is going on in the first month for it to be a coincidence? i think the missile test was no coincidence, as the two sat down to dinner together, someone worked it out to the minute. moreover, they demonstrated the kind of missile that would be very difficult to take out on a launch pad, which they thought presumably
11:25 pm
is what president trump was planning to do in his remark about the intercontinental threat would never happen. i think that the assassination of kim jong—nam was genuinely a coincidence and i suspect the timing was determined by what they call operational needs. normally he has good security around him. they had to get him at a time when he was in a third country, vulnerable at an airport and that was their window of opportunity. briefly, how does the north korean regime meant? —— end? it has too, doesn't it? it is ridiculous. it won't go on forever. no, how will it end? nobody knows, maybe it will collapse internally, maybe it will eventually be taken over by the south, or maybe north korea will simply drift into the chinese orbit. and north korea will effectively become a battle state of china. john everard, thank you.
11:26 pm
is the nhs under unbearable pressure? it has been a prominent question as emergency waiting times have been spectacularly missed. what's it like to run a huge hospital? we will talk to someone in a few minutes, first, a most extraordinary view inside that hospital. both as people come into emergency and as they are discharged from hospital or sometimes not. we we re from hospital or sometimes not. we were given access to the queen elizabeth hospital and spend some time filming there. we arejust time filming there. we are just waiting on some beds on five and four? right. are their ongoing ward rounds still? right, i think you need to target those ward rounds to say it is monday night, we
11:27 pm
will be faced with no capacity if we do not discharge. that would mean we would be really struggling. in the words of lionel richie, this could be all night long! i would say it is acceptable levels at the moment. we don't have the capacity in the hospital. you don't have any capacity? is that acceptable? how things are at the moment, it is considered acceptable. we have a long queue in the corridor, this is considered acceptable at the moment. not for me. i do not think corridor medicine should be acceptable in any developed country. i woke up and had a chest pains and they got bad, so i pressed my button.
11:28 pm
your emergency button? and i ended up in here. we arrived here at about 7:20am this morning. we've had fantastic care all morning. doctors and nurses, blood tests, and she is now waiting to be admitted to a clinical dependency unit. but we are just waiting for a bed now. so obviously we've ended up in the corridor and we don't know how long we will be here now. how do you feel about that? well, it is a bit alarming, that you are in the corridor where everything going on which isn't good for someone who is 90 this year. how do you feel? i'm a bit sorry my chest, but i'm fine. can you have a look at that patient over there? she feels wheezy. she's been assessed in the last five minutes. i will let you discuss that. i will let my nurse in charge know,
11:29 pm
but her saturations are technically within normal limits. i've just been bleeding. how long have you been waiting in the corridors? just five minutes. five minutes. five minutes? 0k. what have you been told? she won't be long. the patient is complaining of shortness of breath, my colleague recently assessed her and satu rations are technically ok. she may feel wheezy but because her saturations are normal, i cannot do anything else or provide medication in the corridor, especially because she is in a wheelchair without an oxygen tank. so, for the time being, she will have to wait until she is assessed again by a doctor. are you to two clear why we're here today? we talked to you about
11:30 pm
equipment you need at home, and my understanding is clearing a space at home is the first thing that needs to happen. is that right? yes, i am trying to move, dismantle, a table and chairs for six people. the doctors have said that you medically fit to not be here. they reckon that you are well enough to be at home. when we spoke last week, you said that you were going to speak to your neighbour about clearing the space. they haven't been in. they haven't been there. when i've been there, they haven't been. the difficulty that we have here is that we are using an acute hospital bed, 0k? and we need to be making sure that the discharge is moved on as quickly as possible. i'm sure that you are aware and have seen in the national news and media hospitals are at breaking point.
11:31 pm
the beds are a precious resource and we need to be... we have to be seen to be making sure that we are, you know, moving people along. it seems there has been a long delay of two weeks now, so the only alternative that i can see would be making contact with ccg, that we can use as an alternative place for you to wait, a nursing home. i have seen nursing homes. my mum died in one. there is no easy answer. thank you for making the time to meet with us. no problem. you're welcome. the hospital had got to the point where we were struggling to find beds for people coming in through the doors and it is very much about looking at ways that were needed to make beds available so that we could ease the pressure
11:32 pm
that the hospital was going through. i have got a brain tumour. i kept on collapsing at home. he kept on collapsing and we kept on having to pick him up. from there, it has got worse. he was admitted by the hospital, because he collapsed while he was here. i want to go home. i am fed up of being here. you are bored here, aren't you? it is upsetting me. it's all right. this told me i've only got two months to live. that is the problem. it cannot be corrected and he only has two months to live. we have been told two months. it could go longer.
11:33 pm
couldn't it? it could. we don't know. that is why you want to go home. so that he can go home and just chill out in front of the telly. with my son. in andy's case, i think if honour was possibly struggling with his diagnosis, he has deteriorated quite quickly over a short period of time and my understanding is that they do have a ten—year—old sun also living at home and clearly yvonne was struggling with the vast change in handy. you are having a laugh, aren't you? you have to. thank you. who is waiting for a medical bed so i can pull them from cdu?
11:34 pm
my role is to take overall management of the hospital. maintain safety of all the patients. give me a list. making sure that a&e flows correctly and they are not bottlenecked waiting for beds. we are amazed that back in with the patients out. let me phone and find out what is going on with this stroke bed. when this hospital was built it was based on 150 people attending a&e and we are around about that in a 24—hour period and most people we are seeing sometimes up to 400 people. the mathematics does not work out. we have —73 beds. there are 17 people waiting in a&e for a medical bed. there is one for renal. it has been way off at the moment. that is not a good position for us to be at this time. right now, we are struggling
11:35 pm
in the middle of winter with delayed transfers. they are taking 105 beds today. these are patients that should be looked after in a care home? in some cases, in their own home with a package of care and we are waiting for social workers who are very stretched to come and put arrangements in place for those patients. this ward was set up seven years ago and is for people who are what we call delayed transfers of care. these are people who are trapped in the hospital because there is not sufficient care in the community. hello! hello, beryl. the situation at the moment is the worst i have seen it since i qualified and start working as a doctor 17 years ago. the real difference now is that i am unable to see light at the end of the tunnel. you have been in hospital, it has been a long time, you were in and then you are home for about 24 hours and then
11:36 pm
you came back in. they brought her here. when she took ill. she is quite well. you were not ill when you came in, it was the day after, the trauma of being at home... there is a pain in my knee now. rheumatism. i will see if there is something more we can do about it. beryl and les have been married for over 65 years and they are currently separated because there is no capacity within the social care system to provide a bed where beryl can be looked after nearer to her home or even to provide a level of support at home that would enable beryl to keep living in her own house with her husband. it will be nice to know, actually, what is intended. what has been happening? well, at the moment,
11:37 pm
you're not sure whether there will be a nice place for beryl to go to. you tried home, didn't you, and it didn't work and that is how you ended up back here and that is why you have been looking at care homes. i wish i could care for her at home. i really do. it would be wonderful. hello. is it violet? my name is claire and i am one of the site managers here. we have got you a bed on 304, the doctors here want you to go up to the specialist ward. tonight, we will be moving you up there. that's all right. is that all right? i know someone else has just said that. she was admitted to a&e with chest pains and symptoms that looked like a stroke and although the stroke symptoms have resolved, she has been left with some cardiology symptoms and that is why the medics down here want to have a specialist bed which is in cardiology and we have managed to achieve that for her tonight.
11:38 pm
i have been looked after fine. i am waiting to go to a nice ward now. when i found you earlier, you were in the corridor. this is better. yes. they are a movie me again now. so, it will be nice. how many people have we got in the corridor? six. six in the corridor and two en route. i have been doing a&e for about three years and when i first started, there was no one on the corridor at all and everyone was moved into a cubicle straightaway.
11:39 pm
it is different now. what do you think about that? it is a shame. it is absolutely heartbreaking. because you want to get them into an assessment area and get them assessed quickly. no one here wants to see people waiting on trolleys but the reality is you cannot get them into an assessment area quickly enough because at the moment they do not have the beds to put the people who are waiting on beds in. it has changed, we did not have this, it is a reflection on the volume of people arriving. is this our medical alert? nick blakemore there at the queen elizabeth hospital in birmingham. i'm joined now by damejulie moore who started out as a graduate nurse, and who has been chief executive of the trust which runs the hospital for over a decade. thank you for coming in.
11:40 pm
thank you for the access. no one envies you the job. do you think this winter was exceptionally bad ? there was not a flu crisis or do we just expect that this is what it is like now? the pressures have been rising for the past three years but in birmingham, this past winter has been particularly bad because we saw significant pressures and social care and the closure of our community discharge beds. there were about 300 beds in birmingham and 100 were closed in the autumn and that has been the single biggest impact on our ability to discharge patients and free up the beds. others coming back at some point? on friday i had a discussion with nhs england about trying to recommission those beds. that might take time to get the staff to do that. do you ever get frustrated working, is it too monolithic, is it too fragmented? do i get frustrated,
11:41 pm
every single day. it is way too fragmented. this is not a a&e problem, this is a health system problem and the staff do a greatjob and often, we have had a lot of bad press, but every single professional group, every occupational group in the hospital has risen to try and cope with the additional patients coming through the doors. i am so proud of them for what they have done. but we are not responsible for social care, that is the local authority. i talked to a lady in a&e this morning who said i rang my gp and could not get an appointment for three weeks, i have come here and i know i should not. you're stuck between inadequate gp service, inadequate social care, you are the bit where people can turn up and you have to see them on demand, with a weight. ye have people coming through the door. we are the one part that never closes.
11:42 pm
there is a simple question, am i being stupid? could you build a wing, could you build your own care home, it would be much cheaper than the acute beds in which you're keeping people and keep them there? i would love to do that. there is no capital to build anything at the moment. what we have done at the moment at the queen elizabeth hospital is we have opened every possible bed. there were 200 beds more than it should have in the new building and we opened up the older building we were supposed to vacate and for a time we ran several wards in there for people who really required the kind of rehab care. the problem now is, we cannot get staff, there is not enough staff for it and we do not get funded to provide that care and there was more money in the past, there is far less money available now, we do not get the funding to do it, we have not got the capital although we are converting wards. it is much more expensive to keep people in your hospital. this is a fragmentation problem.
11:43 pm
it is expensive for you to keep people in acute beds and it would be cheaper if the people responsible for social care took the responsibility but instead of giving them the money to do that, we are wasting money on acute beds for people who do not need or want an acute bed. actually it is sometimes harmful to do that. it is too fragmented. i would love to be able to take the health pathway. it breaks my heart to see an elderly couple being separated because this society cannot provide a facility to allow america bill to be together. ——a married couple. that is not correct or write at all and we should not put up with it. could you do it if they give you the money? yes. that is interesting. your budget this year, are you going to hit it? the answer is no, isn't it? you do not want to tell the department of health now, but that's basically it.
11:44 pm
because of the pressures we have seen coming through, when we admit more patience through the emergency department, if we had them over and above a certain level, 12 or 13, more patients are admitted, we only get paid 70% of tara. —— 70% of tariff. the government gets a discount. it also means we have cancelled elective activity which we are not getting paid for any more and to hit those targets we have to find another way of doing that work. we have not worked through the budgetary pressures. my understanding is that you have a sustainability and transformation plan to improve everything by 2020 and that plan is that birmingham hospitals find another £300 million worth of cuts. let's face it, demand carries on going up, there is not much reason to think that things will change apart from these care beds coming back,
11:45 pm
you are already busting the budget and you have to find 300 million more between you and other birmingham hospitals by 2020. it is ridiculous. when you say it like that... since i have been in management, a very long time, because i am really old, we have been saying we are provide more care outside hospitals and we have not. we need to get real and do that and really build the kind of facilities. we talked about patients coming in and a lot of the patients could have had care elsewhere but it is not available and none of those patients did not need care, they all need care, but there is no alternative available at the moment and we need to provide the alternatives. there are other organisations who are supposed to provide the alternatives and we need to make that real and enough capacity so that patients have not got a&e as a last resort. are patients dying for bad care because you do not the right doctors or the resources?
11:46 pm
no, one of the things that staff have done very well is manage quality of care and safety through that. sometimes we've let waiting times goes so if they know a patient is save to wait six hours, we prioritise safety and quality every time over any target. you've metjeremy hunt, you are an important part of the midlands health system. yes, he saw emergency staff at one of the hospitals, and several patients do not have the social workers assigned to do their assessments, never mind finding careful some people. we were able to explain a lot of the frustrations that we feel in birmingham.
11:47 pm
sometimes it is often portrayed as hospitals just need to a grip. throughout all this, with all of the patients we have with delayed transfers of care, and in december we lost 4000 bed days, we have managed to reduce the length of stay by making the rest of the hospital far more efficient and what we do. that's a great testament to the staff in everything that they do. we are reducing length of stay and being very efficient in what we do. but we need to crack this problem. not because of the money and the beds as the main driver, because it is not good care for patients. damejulie moore, thank you. i should say, you'll be taking your questions about the state of hospitals right after we come off air. that's on the bbc newsnight live facebook page. three and a half weeks into the trump reign, we have a resignation — his national security advisor, general michael flynn has gone over a scandal involving possibly illicit and inappropriate talks
11:48 pm
with the russians back in december. and lies to the vice president. the affair gives us another clue as to the strengths and vulnerabilities of the trump administration. first the strengths: the new president is keen to get things done and is willing to cut through the stuffy conventions of washington to do so. and the weaknesses? well, actually those strengths are also the weaknesses. those stuffy conventions that perhaps obstruct you getting things done also prevent cock—ups. this man is the latest of those cock—ups. michael flynn, the national security adviser controversial even back in the election campaign. i have called on hillary clinton to drop out of the race. because she — she put our nation's security at extremely high risk. lock her up. lock her up! for some, he broke a law himself, jumping the gun and talking to russia about sanctions before trump was president.
11:49 pm
but that's not the real problem. it's that he reportedly lied about it to white house officials. the issue is not whether or not what he discussed, there has been a complete legal review of that and there is no issue with that. the issue is whether or not he failed to properly inform the vice president or not be honest with him or not remember it. that's the plain and simple issue and when he lost trust with the president, that's when the president asked for and received his resignation. but the handling of the case raises plenty of questions about white house organisation. for one thing, trump was told weeks ago about general flynn and yet waited until there was a public outcry before sacking him. a tad indecisive for someone so capable of firing people. and also why did the president deny he knew anything about the affair while on air force one on friday? what do you make of reports that general flynn had a conversation
11:50 pm
with the russians before you supported it? i don't know about it. i haven't seen it. what report is that? i'll look at that. the president wants to get things done, but action orientation can end up looking perilously close to making it up as you go along. the picture of team trump at dinner at his resort, responding to a north korean missile test with the japanese prime minister in tow, all in front of other diners, gives a picture of extreme informality. then there's a more substantive question. was mr flynn's off piste conversation with the russian ambassador a sign of an unhealthily close relationship? it was back in december, president obama imposed extra sanctions on russia as a punishment for interference in the us election. but, surprisingly,
11:51 pm
mr putin didn't retaliate. is it coincidence that it was around then that michael flynn was talking to the russians? well, there's lot more you could say — the leaks that are coming out of washington that have brought this to public attention, and that fact that donald trump appeared to deny any knowledge of the affair, and we now know he had. what are we learning about the white house? with me, from nashville, is scottie nell hughes — a journalist and trump supporter. firstly, why did it take trump so long to deal with this? he knew that the guy had lied to the vice president, why didn't he sack him there and then? well i think because he had to find out the extent of it. last week, reporters have spoken to president trump and said, have you seen this report? they sourced another journalist, not a national security adviser, as to whether he had seen anything official. so he's not going to say i saw it
11:52 pm
in the newspapers or media, we don't know everything. we are just going along with speculations and rumours and leaked points right now as to what the situation was and who knew what, when and how. you say that but we know that donald trump has known for weeks, and on friday he said he didn't know anything about it. it's an important question about his presidency. we're used to trump, we know that he says things and then contradicts it. do you think that, as president, do you think you can behave like he did as a candidate, say things that just are not true? i don't think that is what president trump is doing. you have to look at what this is. if we are going over to the general flynn situation itself, nothing illegal was done. he resigned because of the trust issue that may have happened with vice president pence and him going out and telling a lie
11:53 pm
on his behalf, being told that was the problem. it had nothing to do with the national—security issues, as stated by the new york times yesterday. this was a wiretap. there is a complete transcript of everything that was said between general flynn and the ambassador of russia, and it has been gone over by officials and there was no security risk. it's about political grandstanding by democrats who smell blood in the water, and, unfortunately, this shark is actually going to bite them in the very end. but i can't help but think that you have not answered my question. trump knew weeks ago that he had been lied to by the vice president. why did he wait until it was a big public issue to sack general flynn? he was tough, he could have sacked him two weeks ago. he does not have to listen to the public, why does he have to wait for the public to make a fuss and then sack general flynn?
11:54 pm
i think it came down to vice president pence. the conversation happened between general flynn and vice president pence. i think it was about the trust issue that vice president pence needed between him and the security team. we don't know whether it was him who said that it was time to dismiss general flynn. so, like i said, these are conversations behind the scenes. i'm not guessing you would have been so forgiving if this was the obama security adviser. does it tell us, as many as in the papers are saying, that this is just some of the chaos that plagues the administration, as says the washington post? yes, i agree that there is more chaos in this administration than ones in the past. one of the reasons is that president trump kept a lot of people from the obama administration with theirjobs.
11:55 pm
until president trump goes in and takes out those who do not have the american interest at heart and puts in his own people and gets fully staffed, thanks to congress and the democrats finally confirming everyone he put through, we will continue to see these leaks and this chaos that's distracting the president from his mission of putting america first and securing the borders and allowing ourfamilies to prosper and thrive for themselves. thank you forjoining us. time now for viewsnight, where we let those with strong and original opinions let rip. tonight it's the turn of canadian journalist graeme wood. he's the author of a new book, the way of strangers — encounters with the islamic state. it's a provocative piece and tomorrow we'll bring you the counter argument made by the academic tariq ramadan. but first, let's hear graeme. like it or not, the rise of the islamic state is the modern reformation. it is tempting to view the rise
