point, gearing up for same point, gearing up for military action. what does the uk do? theresa may is deciding to not have to worry about parliament. not having to listen the jeremy corbyn. the problem there, russia, with scupper it. as we have seen this week. at the same point, events are accelerated very quickly. let's move on to the front page of the times. that is perhaps helps us to talk a bit about the dilemma that theresa may faces, very striking picture there of the prime minister and a headscarf but visiting a sikh temple yesterday on a trip to the west. local elections taking place. and the other parties. but right now this event is overshadowing everything else. what do you think of that here? and assist businesses and then actually we can bypass parliament? you could argue that if you really wanted to, you could get

mps back pretty quickly. she has actually i think we called mps. one of the stores in the papers, but the point is she doesn't have to go. she realises what happened to them 13th with cameron. when the boat was lost and the indication would suggest thatjeremy corbyn and the indication would suggest that jeremy corbyn labour and the indication would suggest thatjeremy corbyn labour party being what it is, some of them may did that. she could very well lose and she certainly doesn't want to have donald trump on them again and then she cat, if she doesn't have to do, she doesn't need to do it. i suspect there would be consequences if she went and without consulting parliament, there will be a backlash against terror. i can see that coming. ellie she would have gone in and shown moral certainty and action. —— ellie she would have shown. there is that in the thing is the backlash, were all aware that there are public opinion polls that show when voters are asked, there is a certain apathy about military

intervention. about 20% of 30% would endorse this course. at the same time, theresa may does have to almost make sure there is that political consensus with her but, she is haunted by what happened with david cameron. given that when medical board half years ago. wasn't that long. it was quite politically damaging. —— what happened to david cameron four and a half years ago. that stand meant that the uk did have the authority to do with an obama took flight and that the uk was in with them and the more we are i'iow. was in with them and the more we are now. aside, ithink was in with them and the more we are now. aside, i think the gas and animal has him. —— president assad i think. he is unchained, cannot stop. it feels like not a lot has changed in that time. which raises the question at the year's missile attack which was a really short and sharp change from president trump early on in his presidency. let's

look at your paper. as ever, it is too met that would link will want to summarise the news. absolutely. a wonderful cartoon which shows a us missile and the cartoon reads this missile and the cartoon reads this missile is so smart, it finds president trump's street painfully embarrassing. it sounded absolutely brilliant. matt, one of our great cartoonist. it is a wonderful cartoon. the thing about john's tweets, very interesting. truck tweets, very interesting. truck tweets because he is at the agenda. is like a little child with a toy to play with it. often in the past, his tweets have been more extreme than his actions. sometimes, this tweets are the extreme one. the action he ta kes are the extreme one. the action he takes doesn't actually match the tweet. it is more moderate. was

suggest he tweets he has of anger over with and then he consults people and save you can't do that. global tide if anybody ever takes us cell phone away. we make the case, but other factors going on. given the absolute hissy fit heat of the other day about what i think was mile cocoa when an upgrade on his office, there are reports that he is untethered now. —— michael cole wind and the rain on his office. the question we have to ask is whether this is bleeding over into a state of mind as he considers military action. i think from what i read there in the opinion polls, america there in the opinion polls, america there will be popular. unlike care. they like the idea of them being top. conveniently for him, it would ta ke top. conveniently for him, it would take the agenda emphatically away

from the russian inquiry. it would. i suspect we will talk about the small knife. let's move onto stores. —— talk about tomorrow night. this is the front page of the financial times. the tesco. absolutely. we got tesco was mortally wounded after it's cooled down the 14 scandal, his profit that topped a billion. 260,000 more customers. —— 2014 scandal. the purchase made have worked well and it is competing against others and doing well. my wife always shops there. the point is it -- wife always shops there. the point is it —— no, given the fact that on high street, things are going badly. shops many high street stores are going bankrupt, restaurants and other places, i think that is quite the statement from tesco. yet this is been a hard recovery. in a lot of painfora lot

is been a hard recovery. in a lot of pain for a lot of people use to work there. the chief executive, drastic dave he is named for good reasons. efficiency savings, selling off our owfi efficiency savings, selling off our own businesses, example of the tesco empire is itself too far because... south korea for example. indeed. the low to his britches. it was trying to bea low to his britches. it was trying to be a luxurious enough that it would almost it will rival mns. but also budget up and being beaten by little as up. now initially signed to discover its core business. it is thriving. it is a hard business. i was at the movie yesterday and was in the somewhere and find a carrier bag blew past the camera and there is in bag blew past the camera and there isina bag blew past the camera and there is in a from history, international stores with a name a lot of people do. they all confined to history now, the takeovers and mergers and colla pses now, the takeovers and mergers and collapses at various companies. it is not easy business and tesco still has to does inquiry over it. major

shopping has changed. people don't go to supermarkets. online shopping also affect the abuse outwith. he it is not like regular election. —— you just go online and choose who you just go online and choose who you shop with. it is not like you know who wrote 13 is where you have the biscuits and things like that. that chemistry. completely baffled looking around the store thinking what happened. i have lost my anchor point. us talk about the express and serious consequences here is what happened during the winter and crisis. i don't think anybody will denied that this winter was very difficult for the nhs. you might call a kind of thinking out of the box solution, with potential to some of that crisis for pitches. certainly is. attention grabbing. the idea of scrapping preplanned operation started to miss a year in

order to have can get to do with the crisis. this comes from the president of the society of acute medicine. as you heard from everyone , medicine. as you heard from everyone, with an ageing population increasing demand, and the supply being very limited by the government, although but it is increasing, it does face challenges. had he paid for the system to probably meet at? i can't help but think that this is deliberately dramatic because you want more money, yet we need not lose sight of the fact there are efficiencies that can be made, still is a use for barack to see if people make comparisons to the nhs and chinese railways, the size of employees. we mustn't forget about that.|j railways, the size of employees. we mustn't forget about that. i think the problem with this is that the implemented, and means waiting. if you remember that was the great debate of much of the 90s, how long is the way is so wide. that will not go down or be popular.|j is the way is so wide. that will not go down or be popular. i suppose perhaps there will be less popular

to know that an operation within the happen for two months and to know if your operation is cancelled on the day. what seems to cause a lot of distress for people when they are hating those points repeatedly. but we haven't had is a debate about where or how we want the nhs and how different it is to do with 70 years ago. we still believed in nhs on the principle of an idea to carry on. we live in a very different world. and a vertebrae are coming up injuly. marking the 70th anniversary of the foundation. —— the anniversary year is coming up injuly. marking the 70th anniversary of mark interesting story to end on the front of the times on this. suggesting that it may not be talking about structural change were talking about structural change were talking about structural change were talking about financial change for the nhs. there is actually public appetite to pay more. as always been

public appetite to pay more when there's opinion poll saying what you pay more at? and when somebody goes into an election, saying do have to pay more than they somehow don't... that's a remarkable thing. obviously, they seem to be emphatic. given the jeremy hunt did say he sees itioi'e itioi'iey given the jeremy hunt did say he sees more money going to nhs, maybe they are responding in kind. they think we can ever get to the point ofa think we can ever get to the point of a dedicated taxation specifically for the nhs? obviously, let's take national insurance. you'd think the minima that it's inherently going to the nhs but it isjust a tax. one of the nhs but it isjust a tax. one of the many forms of government would use. the many forms of government would use. there was the many forms of government would use. there was never the many forms of government would use. there was never a national insurance fund, never set forward. just to the exchequer. gordon brown... alto seco 20 years ago telling me how angry they were ago when they discovered what they thought they were paying into the exits. this made the argument for maybe ageing human attacks, it takes

root. the treasury when i like it. —— wheni root. the treasury when i like it. —— when i like it. they never like change. one word answer. what would you be prepared to pay for more taxes? nhs, hyphenated. iwould agree. if it says tax increase, just going to the nhs i would agree with that. thank you both as ever for joining us. who was see how different the papers are tomorrow. whether it will be more the same. thank you for your company as we go to the papers. see all of the front pages online of the bbc news website and if you missed a programme, you can watch a lecture on the eeg player. thank you both. i'll be back at 11 with the full summary of the news for now. in the short term not much change on

front but the outlook for next week is looking very promising indeed. let's get that out the way. the next 24 hours often cloudy, drive for most of us but not completely. a bit of rain in the forecast, the satellite image from wednesday and you can see satellite image from wednesday and you can see the clear skies on the south coast. nothing to the course of the night into thursday, the clouds will come and go in some areas and maybe a few spots of rain here and there as well. the temperatures will be typically a run about six or 7 degrees. to have a thursday's forecast. again, damp weather along venus williams. and again and when the two koreas, the cloud will break up. —— along the midlands. beautiful there but with the clouds to break maybe one or two showers. also note thisjust the clouds to break maybe one or two showers. also note this just all

sure they're a bit of damp weather on the way for scotland to maybe the northeast of england and also tomorrow evening some showers are expected across the southeast. kent, sussex and london maybe even the odd thunderstorm. a seven look at thursday's weather forecast. we still have persistent easterly wind out of the north sea. dragging cloud and operation of rain. it will still fill very chilly and maybe thicker cloud producing a little bit of rain in some western areas in the forecast temperatures on friday it will range from the mid—teens across southern ever yes the pentagon, sunshine a chilly 70 and nine. —— depending on how much temperature we get. as far as the weekend, there will be a change in the wind direction which will mean that things will warm up as we go through the weekend. temperatures in the high teens in the south and here is the really exciting event for the weekend and next week. so warming

up, sunshine and getting stronger and stronger and affected by early to mid week, next week, temperatures in some parts of the country will be well in excess of 20 celsius. i wouldn't be surprised if it goes even wouldn't be surprised if it goes eve n over wouldn't be surprised if it goes even over 20 as far north as northern england. how about that? this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 11:00. theresa may calls an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss a military response to the alleged chemical attack in syria, as donald trump warns russia to prepare for airstrikes yulia skripal, released from hospital after being poisoned in salisbury, rejects help from the russian embassy. the facebook founder, mark zuckerberg tells congress that he was among the millions of users whose data which was improperly shared with cambridge analytica. and an newsnight russia versus the
