”f fe m t.pl;|""’"”§,':,,'-”” 1’;,f,,,:i"i””. - that's in half an hour in our sportsday programme. the organisation that represents health trusts—‘ififefigw the nhs faces a ‘mission impossible‘ to meet government standards and targets; — ~ ~ , 7 ~ ~ , ,,. for the next financial year — starting ,i!lapril—_-= is not enough to meet growing patient demand. our health editor hugh pym reports. it's been a winter of unprecedented strain on the nhs, with hospitals full — or close to it — and patient demand on the increase. the budget earlier this month included new funding for social care

and investment in a&e units in england. nhs providers representing hospitals and other trusts said that may ease some of the pressure, but there'll still be a yawning gap in the resources needed just to keep services ticking over. this is the first time in recent nhs history. that trustsarersaying they cannot deliver the key accident and emergency and elective surgery targets and hit financial balance. that's before the year has even started. that's the first time ever that's actually happened. i think it's a very worrying sign. the warning comes after the health secretaryjeremy hunt said haspitals in england shauld gati or assessing 95% of patients in a&e within four hours. it's not going to be overnight, but it is essential. i am expecting the nhs to return to that target during the course of the next calendar year. but nhs providers say it's unprecedented to warn, even before the financial year

begins, that, on current planned budgets, the a&e standard and others can't be met. the organisation says there will be big increases in the number of patients in england who lose out because key targets are missed, with 1.8 million waiting more than four hours in a&e and 100,000 waiting more than 18 weeks for routine surgery. the department of health said the comments fail to acknowledge that the nhs has a strong plan to improve performance and that staff were working hard to treat thousands more people each year within the a&e target. the nhs and social care have had five care have had five emergency cash injections in the last few years alone. what it needs is a whole new programme of change, and hear that a rehénl'seg happening. it's a big debate across the uk. is it only a question of money

or can the nhs transform the way it provide services, as a growing an ageing population increases the demand for health and social care. joining me now is roy lilly, a former nhs trust chairman and now have commentator. how - is it have commentator. how unusual is it to admit defeat ssfsrs the new to admit defeat before the new financial year starts? i don't know about admitting defeat but it is unusualfor about admitting defeat but it is unusual for the trust to make this kind of statement. we used to say, hearing them halfway through the air saying they were out of money or something, but now they are making clear that there is not enough it clear that there is not enough money in the system to hit all the targets. the reason - are saying targets. the reason they are saying thatis targets. the reason they are saying that is that the nhs has had

effectively flat line funding since 2010. and will continue to have that untiljune two 20, that is against 496 untiljune two 20, that is against 4% growth in demand —— 2020. you don't have two be a rocket scientist to see there is a huge gap between what the"—:§ is being paid to do what the nhs is being paid to do what the nhs is being paid to do what is being asked to do. how much difference will this emphasis on funding on social care make? 0ften people stay in hospital when they do need to be there because they cannot be said this at home. that's a good point, and that's why the secretary of state jeremy hunt point, and that's why the secretary of statejeremy hunt made the statement that he did at the reform conference this week. he says he thinks the nhs will be back on track this year. £2 billion has gone into social services to help them buy ca re social services to help them buy care packages and to help the nhs get people out of hospitals and home safely. that's the gamble that social services will be able to buy enough care & we - social services will be able to buy enough care & we have one enough care packages. we have one

ca re enough care packages. we have one care home a week closing now because there is not enough money in the system. if the social services can help get people home safely that frees up the hospitals and we can get more people through the system. that helps to take the pressure off of a&e. but the demand is so inexorable really that it is a huge gamble. how safe are we as patients? i tell you, unless we can free beds up, more and more of what we call an elective beds — those early beds of people wanting hip and knee operations except would normally occupied. more of those will be used by people that we cannot safely send home. so people will begin to get letters from their hospitals saying, but ou are -- our o-eration sorry, but you are —— your operation has been cancelled because we have no beds. at that point, patience. putting pressure on their mps and putting pressure on them s and

putting 4prassur‘s on them s and we re putting 4prassur‘s on them s and were to start dealing with them mps were to start dealing with them and we might get the movement. at the moment, the government seems to be turning their back on the nhs and hoping models through. the modelfor hoping models through. ifi the nhs was set up decades ago, how radical does the rethink need to be of we have radical does the rethink need to be of - we have all come to expect? of what we have all come to expect? and please you ask that because there is a movement now to say, the nhs must be busted up and we must do something to it. actually, the nhs is very efficient, despite all the problems it has been having, it is managing 2% efficiency gains a year. the problem we have is that there is just not enough money in the system. that went back to 2010, when the coalition government was dealing with the fallout from the banking crisis. they cut right across social ca re crisis. they cut right across social care and they ring fenced a bit of extra money for the nhs, but not much. the damage was done then. the nhs has been hobbled and now it will be crippled if we carry on with the way we are. there is nothing wrong

how the nhs works, tax funded, with how the nhs works, tax funded, socialised medicine is the cheapest way of running a health care sector. international comparison show that. way of running a health care sector. int: need >nal comparison show that. way of running a health care sector. int: need to l comparison show that. way of running a health care sector. int: need to go >mparison show that. way of running a health care sector. int: need to go back rison show that. way of running a health care sector. int: need to go back to >n show that. way of running a health care sector. int: need to go back to the how that. way of running a health care sector. int: need to go back to the european funding we used to enjoy, and style funding we used to enjoy, and get the money back on track. 0nce is back on track we can start that is back on track we can start sorting it out. my worry is that the damage has been done. thank you, roy. in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. 0ur our guests are lucy fisher, senior political correspondent at the times i former fleet street editor, and former fleet street editor, steve —— eve pollard. police are hunting for a 33—year—old man after a one—year—old boy died and his twin sister was seriously injured at their home m scotland yard has issued an urgent appealfor a man following what they called a domestic incident. we've had increased police activity

trying to hack into donald trumps democratic rivals? well, certainly 17 intelligence agencies have said that russians were behind several hacks. they also believe that russia tried to meddle in the us presidential election. the second question: did donald trump know about this, ordered his aides? so far what we have learned from james clapper, the former director of national intelligence under 0bama has said there is no evidence to suggest such a conclusion and today we have heard from representative nunez who has said there is no evidence that he has seen of such a collusion. that is important because he is the head of the house intelligence committee. he is head of the panel that all eyes will be on the next 2a hours, as many people ask those questions with regards to russia - that election. there was russia and that election. there was fio russia and that election. there was no fisa warrant that i'm aware of to wiretap trump tower. the other issue

that still remains is the unmasking of names, and the leaking of names. we have a lot of surveillance activities in this country, and i think the concern the johnson administration has is, were they actually using surveillance activities to know what they were up to? __ activities to know what they were up to? —— the trump administration. we know general flynn 's name was unmasked and leaked to the press. he was talking about wiretapping when it comes to president obama, the claim that obama wiretap trump tower during the 2016 election would just come from president donald trump himself. so far, all leading democrats and republicans have come forward to say there is no evidence that such a wiretap took place. what representative nunez is saying, and what trump is saying, is there may be evidence of further surveillance. trump has already said in an interview with fox news that we

should be watching for evidence over the next two weeks, of surveillance. he says wiretaps should be in quote marks, because it should be in relation to other surveillance that may have happened. we await that but all these claims and evidence. but all these claims and counterclaims are due to come out that this rare, open hearing in front of capitol hill tomorrow. the headlines on bbc news: another warning over health service funding — a leading nhs executive says many trusts will struggle to meet targets. police are hunting a man over the death of a one—year—old boy in north london. the toddler's twin sister has been critically injured. the liberal democrat leader calls on tory mps opposed to theresa may ‘s vision of brexit to join his tory mps opposed to theresa may ‘s vision of brexit tojoin his party. five people who have been injured

after being hit. a car in sussex. after being hit by a car in sussex. police say the car struck a number of pedestrians in a shop on the town ‘s high street. two of those injured suffered life—threatening injuries. the driver is being treated for minor injuries, along with three other pedestrians. the liberal democrat leader, tim farron, has attacked the prime minister for following "aggressive, nationalistic" politicsrlfkethose—e of donald trump and vladimir putin. speaking to delegates at his party's spring conference, he said the lib dems are now the party of "real opposition" to theresa may's hard brexit plan. he said businesses were misled about leaving the eu. if i was a business person who had given money to today's conservative party, i would demand my money back. you were sold a free market, internationalist, pro—business party. what you've got is protectionism, nationalism, economic vandalism. applause. nicola sturgeon has said it would be unreasonable for theresa may to put

off holding a second referendum on scottish independence until much later than 2019. it comes as the scottish conservatives say such a vote would be against the wishes of the majority of people in scotland. the first minister of scotland was asked on itv‘s peston on sunday programme if she would be prepared to wait until 2021 for a second referendum. no, i do not think that is reasonable. by that point, scotland have been taken out of the eu, two years have elapsed, divergences opening up between the rules of the single market, and then it gets much more difficult for scotland to seek a course. but if she is talking about the spring of 2019, later than perhaps i was suggesting, we could have some room for discussion around that. the final day of the us secretary of state's east asia tour has been overshadowed by north korea's

announcement of a breakthrough in its rocket programme. the north korean leader has been pictured celebrating what he'saidi was a successful test, as rex tillerson warned from beijing that tensions on the korean pensinsula are at a dangerous level. 0ur china editor carrie gracie sent this report from beijing. america's top diplomat. they had intended to steady anxieties about where us—china relations are headed. but as these players posed for the cameras, they were upstaged by another... with these pictures of kim jong—un, north korea announced the successful test of a new rocket engine for its space and satellite programme. no wonder he declared a victory. rockets can be repurposed. he's already warned that his nuclear missiles will soon be able to reach the united states. mr tillerson was in asia to warn that us patience is at an end, asking china to do more

to persuade its north korean ally to give up its arsenal. china is in a bind. it's frustrated by north korean recklessness and anxious to find common ground with the new trump administration. but it's also skeptical about whether more economic pressure would force north korea to renounce nuclear weapons. and it's suspicious of american intentions in the region. china wants fewer americans in asia, not more, but to meet the threat from pyongyang, us troops are on exercise in south korea. and the us is deploying a new anti missile system there. so kim jong—un stole the headlines as the big powers failed again to agree on how to stop him. his rocket test, a calculated message of defiance to both the us and his next door neighbour, china.

the rac is warning most drivers buying new cars will face increased road tax from next month. environmentally friendly hybrid vehicles, some of which will attract road tax, or vehicle excise duty as it's formally known, for the first time, as our business correspondentjoe lynam explains. most cars bought from april 1st will pay an initial charge depending on their emissions and then £140 after that every year. it means hybrid cars, which pay no tax up to now, will have to pay £130 in road tax, and cars costing £40,000 or more already we are hearing that dealerships have been very, very busy in the build—up to this change. people are trying to get in there before they will be hit by the extra cost,

but what we are expecting anecdotally afterwards is for there to be a lull, particularly hitting hybrid vehicle sales because one of the incentives for buying them will have been taken away. the government says the new vehicle excise duty this is a plug—in hybrid vehicle, which means when it's running on its battery it doesn't emit any noxious gases at all, but if you buy this vehicle from april you will be paying £1140 per year more than if you bought it today. ca rs cars costing £40,000 or more will face an additional premium. the new duties will have no affect on cars already on uk roads. the government insists that the new vehicle excise duty will be fair to motorists and improve air quality by encouraging the take—up of cleaner vehicles. but will the new charges deter drivers who already on cars with low c02 emissions? i think it's a good idea to encourage people to buy

environmentally friendly vehicles if possible. i would suggest it is better. what's the point of having low emission vehicles if you will charge more tax? if it were more about the environment, i'd be worried. this is a plug—in hybrid vehicle, which means when it's running on its battery it doesn't emit any noxious gases at all, but if you buy this vehicle from april you will be paying £440 per year more than if you bought it today. some people believe that will dis— incentivise people from buying green cars. joe lynam, bbc news. a gay clergyman has accused the anglican church in wales of homophobia after he was rejected for a job as a bishop. the dean of st albans, the very reverend jeffreyjohn —— she is: in a‘: s‘lsi.l"g:a‘i'r'tn';ef“h*ra 15: but celibate — was not chosen as bishop of llandaff earlier this month. mrjohn has written an open letter to the church's senior bishop saying that homophobic remarks had gone unchallenged at a meeting and he'd been told it would be "too much of a headache" to appoint him.

a church spokeswoman has denied the allegation of homophobia. a man has been arrested after vandalising a thomas gainsborough painting at the national gallery. the 1785 painting mr and mrs william hallett, which is better known as the morning walk, has been removed from display after it was attacked with a sharp instrument yesterday afternoon. 63—year—old keith gregory, of no fixed address, has been charged with causing criminal damage. virtual reality technology is being trialled to help football club doctors detect concussion within seconds. along with clinical assessments, the 0culus rift device could help prevent life—changing injuries by detecting concussion immediately on the side—lines, meaning glayerstangetimmediatei treatment and prevent them from returning to play. the bbc in the west midlands has had exclusive access to the trial and showed it to a premier league clueferthefirsttifoe. www ww laura may mcmullan has the details. commentator: both appear, certainly in dawson's case, to be out cold. injuries are part and parcel of the game and so is heading the ball. how many times did i head the ball?

hundreds of thousands, must be. there are also fears about clashes to the head, concussion is a transient disruption of brain function as a result of a direct or indirect knock to the head. andy wilkinson, a former stoke city defender, suffered one blow to the side of his head two years ago and it ended his career. i thought i would be fine and just crack on and play another seven years, but unfortunately, i have been all around the world and seen the best specialist and left no stone unturned. unfortunately, they all came to the same conclusion. it's just too dangerous for him to carry on playing. he's been travelling to america for treatment, where he has seen new technology being used pitch—side. this virtual reality device is called an 0culus rift being trialled at some college soccer games in america.

along with clinical assessment, it can help to detect concussion within seconds. dr michael gray has been trialling the device at the university of birmingham and he has brought it along to show the medical team at west bromwich albion. have a look at the whiteboard that is up here and then green. red. that is good. for somebody who is healthy that is one of the biggest effects i have seen. really? yeah, really! the club doctor is not concussed, but a concussed player would be more off—balance in comparison to their baseline test. you will have players that say, "no, i am fine, i want to go on". you do this test, or one like it, i think those questions go away. do you think this could have a place in football? i think we are looking for functional tasks that allow us

to make a quick decision and technologies such as that could potentially be very helpful. with our virtual reality balance test we are having the brain do one thing, then we challenge it by tilting the room. it's only by doing this that we can see subtle changes that might not show up in a standard neurocognitive tests. for current players and youngsters, just a few hundred pounds on new technology could help to prevent brain injuries in the future. people living in one part of derby are clearing up tonight after a huge water main burst, sending a plume of water main burst, sending a plume of water up to three stories high. four hours the water was spouting from a broken main, damaging windows and cars, and left home is leading to be evacuated. this dramatic footage was

ca ptu red evacuated. this dramatic footage was captured at around 2:30am as water pounded houses nearby. at ten this morning, the water burst was much reduced but the houses directly affected showed damage to windows, the roof, the doors, the car outside. inside one, this woman— too upset to be shown on camera— told me what it was like. i woke up to a horrendous noise. glass breaking. i could not comprehend what was happening. it was as high as the house, that's what blew the windows out. it's taken six and a half hours to close it down. meanwhile, dozens of other houses have been flooded, especially those roman road. it's literally destroying everything in here, the laminate flooring has come up, the washing machine... we're slowly watching a rise and rise and

ruin everything. my kitchen is flooded. my garden is flooded. that's the extent of it. hopefully it will be ok once the water subsides. tonight, southern say they have closed the burst and restored water to houses locally, but it could be several days until the road is fully repaired. tributes have been paid to the rock and roll singer and guitarist chuck berry, who's died at the age of 90. the musician passed away yesterday at his home in missouri. his hits include roll over beethoven and johnny b goode, and he's credited with influencing artists from the beatles to the rolling stones. bruce springsteen has called him "a giant for the ages". mick jagger says he "blew life" into his dreams. maybelline. sweet little 16. johnny b good.

mid—1950s, when the one—time hairdresser from saint louis rocked america with his electrified fusion of gospel, blues and country. he gave the kids what they wanted, songs about the teenage dream of fast cars, hot dates and unrestrained freedom. that's why i wrote about school, half the young his brashness gave rock an attitude, his guitar licks a foundation for all those who followed him. the beach boys, the beatles and the rolling stones are indebted to chuck berry, as mick jagger tweeted today. "chuck, you were amazing", he wrote.

"your music is ingrained inside us for ever". chuck berry made the guitar the rock and roll instrument. you can't take a piano to your friend's house but you can take a guitar and chuck berry uses these riffs, these wonderful introductions in a way that keith richards learned, as he himself says, copied from. i've been living for 60 years with it. i know that. but then realise it. is it going to be around after we are all dead and gone? with a 14—year—old girl. that his wife had left him and so to a large extent had his songwriting mojo, but his showmanship had not. he continued to perform duck walk and all.

you can argue all day long as to who was the father of rock music, that was the life and career of chuck berry. good evening. we have- rain spreading from the west, and fresh good evening. we have got some rain spreading from the west, and fresh breeze, over the west midlands, and another area going to northern ireland. some snow over the higher ground.
