welcome to bbc news. the organisation that represents health trusts in england says the nhs faces a ‘mission impossible‘ to meet government standards and targets. for the first time, nhs providers says the money allocated for the next financial year — starting in april — 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 trusts are saying 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 hospitals in england should get back to the target of seeing 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. nhs providers say there'll be big increases in the number of patients in england who lose out next year because key targets are missed. with 1.8 million waiting more than four hours in a&e, and on another key bench mark, waiting times for routine

operations and procedures, 100,000 patients will wait more than 18 weeks before their surgery takes place. the department of health said the comments fail to acknowledge that the nhs has a strong plan to improve performance — others argue efficiency should be the top priority. and that the service can curb costs by treating more people away from hospitals. the nhs and social care have had five emergency cash injections in the last two and a half years alone. more money is not the answer. what it needs is a whole programme of modernisation, change. i fear that another dollop of extra money would stop that process happening. it's a big debate in scotland, wales and northern ireland as well as england. is it simply a question of money or can the nhs transform the way it provides services as a growing and ageing population increases the demand for health and social care.

earlier i spoke to former nhs trust chairman roy lilley. he said the early warning is surprising. it is unusual for the trust to make this kind of statement. we're used to hearing them, halfway through the year, "we're going to run out of money," or something. but here they're saying, making it clear, that there isn't enough money in the system to hit all the targets. and the reason they're saying that is that the nhs has had effectively, although you can argue the toss over lumps of money going in and all the rest of it, the nhs has had pretty much flatline funding since 2010, and will continue to have that until 2020. now, that's against 4% growth in demand, and so you can see, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to analyse that, to see there's a huge gap between what the nhs is being paid to do and what it's being asked to do. how much difference, though, will this greater emphasis on funding of social care make? because a lot of the time,

people have to stay in hospital longer than they really need to be there because they can't be safely sent home. well, that is a very good point, and that's why the secretary of state, jeremy hunt, made the statement that he did at the reform conference this week. he's saying that he thinks the nhs will be back on track this year. £2 billion has gone into social services to help them buy care packages and help the nhs to get people out of hospital and get them home safely. now that's the gamble, that social services will be able to buy enough care packages. i think we've got one care home a week closing now, because there's not enough money in the system, but if the social services can help get people home safely, that frees up the hospitals, and we can get more people through the system, and that helps to take the pressure off of a&e. but the demand is so inexorable, really, that it's a huge gamble that he's saying that. how safe will we be as patients? well, i tell you what's

going to happen. unless we can free the beds up, more and more what we call elective beds, those are the beds that people wanting hip operations and knee operations and so on would normally occupy, more and more of those beds will be used by people that we can't safely send home, and so people are going to start getting letters from their hospital saying, "i'm very sorry, mr brown, but your operation has been cancelled because we don't have any beds, or we're running out of money." and it's at that point there that probably the patients will start putting pressure on their mps, and mps will start having to deal with the postbag, and then we might get some movement. but at the moment, the government seem to be turning their back on the nhs and just hoping it muddles through. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are lucy fisher, senior political correspondent at the times and the former fleet street editor, 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 in north london last night. scotland yard has issued an urgent appealfor a man following what they called a domestic incident. 0ur correspondent sangita myska has more. we've had increased police activity outside the building behind me. this police cordoned has gone up, and the police have now officially launched a murder inquiry after an attack on two children in the building behind me. it left one child dead and another fighting for her life in an east london hospital. we understand that the chief suspect in this inquiry is the children's father. we've been told by neighbours that he was a man that lived at the property, and worked in a nearby hotel. it was in this top floor flat in finsbury park where a one—year—old boy was killed and his twin sister was left critically injured

in what neighbours have described as a brutal attack. this morning police officers and forensic teams continued to search the property on wilberforce road, collecting evidence and conducting door—to—door inquiries. it was just after 11pm last night the police were called by neighbours who had heard the children's mother screaming that her babies had been hurt. i asked her, can i help you? do you want me to call the police or the ambulance for you? she didn't say anything and i asked her, what's wrong? what's happening? shejust said, my kids, and she was crying. officers are searching for this man. it's understood he was the children's father. the police say the 33—year—old was at the flat just before the twins were found, and left before the police arrived. i would like to urge the public‘s help in this matter. a man called bidhya sagar das, who is resident at that address

in wilberforce road, disappeared shortly after the incident was discovered. we'd like the public‘s help in trying to trace this man. tonight forensic teams are continuing to examine evidence in an attempt to make sense of the senseless killing of a baby boy. his sister remains in critical condition in hospital. neighbours say they have been left shocked and saddened by the events on what they describe as a normally peaceful street. 0ne neighbour told us that the one—year—old children involved were sweet kids who belonged to a normally quiet family. people living in one part of derby are clearing up tonight after a huge water main burst — sending a plume of water up to three storeys high. for hours, the water was spouting from a broken main damaging windows and cars — and left homes needing to be evacuated.

james roberson reports. this dramatic footage was captured at around 2:30am as water pounded houses nearby. at 10am the water burst was much reduced but the houses directly affected showed damage to windows, the roof, the doors, a car outside. inside one of them, dawn, too upset to be shown on camera, told me what it was like. horrendous noise, crashing, glass breaking. i could not comprehend what was happening. it was as high as the hows, that is what blew the windows out. it took six and a half hours to close it down. dozens of other houses had also been flooded especially those on roman road. other houses had also been flooded especially those on roman roadm has destroyed everything, the laminate flooring has come up. the washing machine, the kitchen. move the cast down the road. slowly

watching it rise and rise and rise and ruin everything. my kitchen is the whole garden is flooded. lounge and carpet sodden hopefully it will be ok once the water subsides. tonight they say they have closed the burst flow fully and restored power to houses locally but it could be several days before the road is fully prepared. the liberal democrat leader, tim farron, has attacked the prime minister for following "aggressive, nationalistic" politics like those 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. and he said businesses were misled about leaving the eu. the conservative party has been taken over the conservative party has been ta ken over by the conservative party has been taken over by its own version of momentum. the hard brexiteers, the anti—free—trade protectionists, the

shrink the state extremists, the anti—immigrant, anti—refugee, anti—international aid zealots, it is their party now and it is hard to be sure whether theresa may is there a leader or the captive. and it was not only the centre and alleged she ignored in that speech. she even hung out to dry her own backers in british business. theresa may is treating british businesses the way labour has treated the working classes for decades. taking them for granted because she thinks they have nowhere else to go. theresa may has put at risk the very people who have bankrolled her party success people who have bankrolled her party success for people who have bankrolled her party success for years people who have bankrolled her party success for years and she didn't have too. she could have fought to keep us in the single market if she wa nted keep us in the single market if she wanted to, she has chosen not to. she is pulling us out before the negotiations have even begun. and

because of that choice she is to blame for everyjob because of that choice she is to blame for every job that because of that choice she is to blame for everyjob that is lost, every shop that closes, every company that downsizes, every factory relocated overseas. there was nothing inevitable about leaving the single market. that is her choice, the blame for that damage lies at her door. applause 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 got is protectionism, nationalism, economic vandalism. applause let's speak now to political commentator mark thompson — he is in south moulton in north devon, via webcam. thank you very much forjoining us,

how literally should we take these comparisons that tim farron has made between theresa may and vladimir putin and donald trump?|j between theresa may and vladimir putin and donald trump? i think that sort of comparison is a bit over the top. i can understand what he's doing. he's trying to rouse his base and maybe try and persuade some wavering former lib dem voters to come back on board. but i don't think any sensible analysis could compare theresa may to vladimir putin or donald trump. what about his claim that the lib dems represent the real opposition to a ha rd represent the real opposition to a hard brexit, what can he and his collea g u es hard brexit, what can he and his colleagues achieved with so few mps? that is part of the problem, they only have nine, that is one more than the last general election, but you know at the end of the day labour have got 200 odd, but the

labour have got 200 odd, but the labour leadership at the moment seems to be imploding. so i can understand why tim farron is trying to present himself as the leader of the real party of opposition. but in the real party of opposition. but in the end if you only have nine mps there is a limit to what you can do. in the end, the house of commons is the place where it matters and they just do not have the numbers. how appealing are the lib dems to a range of mps from notjust the conservatives but perhaps those who are disenchanted with how labour are doing? we have been down this road before, in the 1980s we had the sdp and defections from labour and some conservatives. in the end the electrical —— electoral system crushed them. labour got a couple of

hundred mps and sdp got about 26. it's an unforgiving system and anyone who is thinking about defecting must look at what happened in the 80s and think do we really wa nt to in the 80s and think do we really want to repeat that experiment? i think all of them think no. how tempted are you to rejoin the lib dems having left a few years ago when you did not like how they were handling the coalition?” when you did not like how they were handling the coalition? i am tempted, i have talked to people in the party and i am thinking about it. the problem is, it's difficult to know where this whole thing is going to go. i don't know if the lib dems actually want to reverse the result of the left friend or if they are trying to emulate what they consider to be its negative effects. i voted remain and would like to see a softer brexit. but i do not think that's going to happen and i don't think we can try to rerun the referendum. the government is interpreting it the way it is done.

we are going to leave the eu. i can understand it. tim farron, it's a fertile vain to tap within the electorate but i don't think it's going to be anything they can do to stop this jittery. maybe going to be anything they can do to stop thisjittery. maybe in going to be anything they can do to stop this jittery. maybe in the next parliament if they can get to more mps and labourcan parliament if they can get to more mps and labour can get a more effective leader things will change. whenever that collection might be. thank you very much. 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 tim farron calls on tory mps opposed to theresa may's vision for brexit to defect to his party. let's get a look at the sports news.

let's start with some premier league football, where the teams chasing runaway leaders chelsea were all in action today. details of wins for manchester united and tottenham in a moment, but first, third against fourth, manchester city against liverpool. 1—1 the final score, as drew savage reports. manchester city's season is in danger of becoming a bit of a damp squib. 0ut danger of becoming a bit of a damp squib. out of the champions league and with chelsea in control of the premier league, pep guardiola is adjusting to english conditions and says it is the hardestjob he has had. manchester city created more in the first half, fernandinho should have scored. surprising nobody in a bluejersey, have scored. surprising nobody in a blue jersey, appealing have scored. surprising nobody in a bluejersey, appealing propelled it. liverpool had good reason to do that early in the second half, the clumsy

challenge from gael clichy punished from the spot, james milner breaking a record no scoring in 47 premier league games and never losing when doing so. things looked tough for the home side when a familiar face stepped in. sergio aguero's seventh goal in seven games. adam lallana scored ten before the new year but since then his touch in front of goal seems to have deserted him. manchester city could have taken advantage, harder chance for sergio aguero but you would expect him to do better from there. aguero but you would expect him to do betterfrom there. with aguero but you would expect him to do better from there. with the premier league title now all but out of sight it's a question of hanging on for those champions league spots. it's one of the more special days of my life because after the defeat on tuesday, wednesday, it was so tough for us. we recovered, how we recover today and with this mentality to play and attack and attack, we could not attack more often because liverpool is a top team. i want to stay with these guys for a long, long time. i do not want to change anything, i want to stay here and

help this club to make a step forward. between 15 and 65 we could have decided the game and we didn't. so that's maybe then our fault. but how can you speak today about faults and mistakes? before the game if somebody tells me you would get a point at city, ok. i would not take it immediately but you would take it. and today we have to take it and that's what we do. that draw keeps tottenham safe in second place. and they've reduced chelsea's lead to ten points after beating southampton 2—1 at white hart lane. there was much talk before the game about how spurs would cope without injured striker harry kane. quite well, actually. this man, christian eriksen, put them ahead. dele ali doubled their lead. before james ward—prowse celebrated his england call—up by pulling one back for the saints. iam very

i am very pleased and happy with the performance of the team. it's a big impact when you miss, you lose your main striker but i think our offensive play very well, the offensive play very well, the offensive line. and i think the team, we are in a fantastic position for us. keep going. manchester united are up to fifth after a 3—1win at middlesbrough. maroune fellani put united ahead before the break. then a stunning strike from jesse lingaard put them 2—0 up. after rudi gestede pulled a goal, it looked as though boro were going to mount a comeback, but a terrible mistake from goalkeeper victor valdes gifted antonio valencia a goal. the spirit is fantastic and the good thing is that we have two doors still open for champions league football. so we are going to try europa league, we are going to try the fourth position in the premier

league. and let's see what happens. celtic are just one win away from scottish premiership title. they beat dundee 2—1 at den park and are now 25 points clear with nine games to play. they took the lead in first—half stoppage time whenjozo simunovic‘s flick was deflected into the net. stuart armstrong doubled the lead for brendan rodgers' side six minutes into the second half when he nodded in james forrest's cross. the goal of the game belonged to dundee's faissal el bakhtaoui. celtic will clinch the title if they beat hearts in a fortnight. all change at the top of the super league. salford have ended castleford's unbeaten start to the season. the red devils came from behind to win13—12. it's wigan that replace castleford at the top after drawing 16—16 with huddersfield. six nations chiefs have opened an investigation into the events at the end of wales' defeat to france in paris yesterday. they played 20 minutes beyond the 80 in a chaotic finale.

the wales interim head coach flagged up what he felt to be underhand tactics by the french, and questioned their integrity. the first incdient that will be looked at is the head injury assessment for prop uini antonio, that allowed the scrummaging specialist ragbah slimani to return to the field and help the french score the late pushover try for the win. george north also claimed that he had been bitten during that 20 minutes of play. the six nations is awaiting a report from the citing commissioner. there was no clear video evidence of the alleged incident at the time. british slopestyle skiers james woods and isabel atkin won bronze medals at the world championships in spain. woods crashed on his final run, but he had done enough to get onto the podium. he was highly critical of organisers after his event, describing the championships in sierra nevada as a shambles. poor weather had forced a few changes in qualification, although the international federation said that they had done everything they could to help the athletes.

that's all the sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. breaking news, the metropolitan police are saying they have now arrested a 33—year—old man on suspicion of the murder of a one—year—old boy and the attempted murder of a one—year—old boy and the attempted murder ofa girl of one—year—old boy and the attempted murder of a girl of the same age. you will recall the police said they we re you will recall the police said they were appealing for help to trace a man by the name of bidhya sagar das after they were called to this flat in finsbury park late last night in north london. these twin children we re north london. these twin children were found to have been injured and taken to hospital. the little boy died and the little girl remains in hospital and is in a critical condition. bidhya sagar das, 33—year—old man they were looking for, is now in custody at a police station in east london. the rules on mps taking second jobs

are to be discussed by a government watchdog on ethical standards later this week. it comes as the former chancellor george osborne accepted a job as editor of the evening standard whilst still remaining an mp. the conservatives leader in scotland ruth davidson defended george osborne's appointment when she appeared on the andrew marr programme earlier today. with me is our political correspondent chris mason. this committee were already taking a look at outside interests and second jobs before george osborne was appointed? yes, it is a key part of theirjob and they had a meeting scheduled for this thursday anyway, they meet every month. i think it was inevitable given the extent to which westminster‘s gast was flattered by the use on friday, that they were going to add this business of george osborne as a case study in the broader question which pops up

of what sort of outside interests it legitimate for an mp to have. the language normally used is should mps have a second job will george 0sborne has got six jobs, have a second job will george 0sborne has got sixjobs, five have a second job will george 0sborne has got six jobs, five of which are paid, and one of which, working for the northern powerhouse project is about championing the north of england and you could argue about whether it's possible to do that whilst also being the editor of the newspaper which proclaims itself to be the voice of london. george 0sborne argues it's not a 0—sum game but nonetheless you can point to conflict service committee on standards in public life will discuss this. it does not mean the rules will change, but they will discuss them. they have an interesting and colourful case study to kick around. ruth davidson said it was perfectly 0k. she has but she is the conservative leader in scotla nd is the conservative leader in scotland and made the argument that as someone scotland and made the argument that as someone who used to be a

journalist, she worked for the bbc for ten years before becoming a politician, she thought both jobs we re politician, she thought both jobs were full on and the idea of doing both at the same time would be quite something. nicky morgan former education secretary was interesting on itv, she made the argument and it is there to be made, that he used to be the chancellor, that's a huge job and he did that alongside being a constituency mp for a constituency a long way away. but that is the nature of being in government and the argument would be that does not present you with conflict—of—interest. you are an mp for the governing party and a member of that government. the challenge and the criticism which comes the way of george osborne is the whole business of, one time management and secondly the potential conflict of interest. 0n secondly the potential conflict of interest. on a monday evening as a political correspondent one of my jobsis political correspondent one of my jobs is to loiter outside the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers, they shovel in and

there is a senior member of the party co m es there is a senior member of the party comes and speaks and we put oui’ party comes and speaks and we put our ears to the door trying to hear, quite a thick wooden door, to see are the cheering or banging the desks and we will try to ask what has emerged and they are not meant to tell us. sometimes they make privately texas afterwards. —— text us. privately texas afterwards. —— text us. they protective that environment. and yet george osborne could go to that meeting and he's the editor of london evening standard. so that kind of issue is going to be an interesting one in terms of how it plays out. a very interesting insight into how you spend monday evenings, i cannot believe loiter anywhere. plenty of loitering in myjob. believe loiter anywhere. plenty of loitering in my job. say no more. a man's been arrested after a thomas gainsborough painting at the national gallery was vandalised.

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. just a reminder, justa reminder, coming just a reminder, coming up later on bbc news we've got two editions of the papers because it is sunday, 10:30pm and 11:30pm. let's get a look at the weather. it's been a mild and cloudy weekend for many, little bit of sunshine but into next week set to turn a much colder than what we've seen. for the south of the country it will be wet overnight, rain pepping up to become a soggy overnight, rain pepping up to become a soggy night, breezy but mild across the north—west corner very windy with daylesford north—west scotla nd windy with daylesford north—west scotland and also longer spells of
