tax rises to pay for a boost in nhs spending in england — as the prime minister promises an extra 20 billion a year. theresa may said tax rises would be fair and balanced and vowed to end a sticking plaster approach to health funding. three men have died after being hit by a train in south london — police are investigating whether they were graffiti artists. and england expects — fans arrive at the stadium in volgograd as the team's world cup campaign begins. coming up in sportsday from moscow later in the hour on bbc news, we will have a full round—up of all the day's action at the world cup. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. theresa may says tax rises will be needed,

to pay for an increase in the nhs's budget in england. the prime minister has promised an extra £20 billion a year by 2023 for the health service but she didn't say who would be required to pay more tax. labour says the new funding plans lack credibility. the announcement means the rest of the uk will get extra funding, but it will be up to individual governments to decide how to spend it. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. as autographs go it is not a bad one to collect. shalll sign? yes. why not? 14-year-old jade's plaster cast as the prime minister's name and she has signed up to an enormous commitment of more taxpayer money year after year after year for the nhs. the nhs needs to be able to plan for the future with ambition and confidence. we cannot continue to put a sticking plaster on the nhs

budget each year so we will do more than just simply give the nhs a one—off injection of cash. than just simply give the nhs a one-off injection of cash. an extra 20 billion a year by 2023 after inflation, less than the historical average but more than recently. a huge sum but who will pay? are you telling working families to get ready to pay more tax? as a country we will need to contribute a bit more. taxpayers will need to contribute a bit more but we will do that in a fair and balanced way. the government claims some of the cash will come back from the eu, that is at best uncertain, at worst misleading, so expect extra national insurance or tax thresholds to be frozen. these plans for the nhs will be funded by increases in borrowing, the tories putting up borrowing and increases in taxation. now, what jeremy hunt, theresa may and chancellor have to do is level with the british people and tell us which taxes are going up. with patients

and members of the public be willing to stump up? yes and no depending on whether it will actually go to the nhs. the fear is you will pay it and go somewhere else. if you ask that question to an able—bodied person and they are working i don't see theirargument as to and they are working i don't see their argument as to why they shouldn't pay. if you ask the lower class people and middle class they don't really own much to be given to supply their family as well as pay tax for the nhs at the same time. this is a big promise and a big change. until recently the prime minister said there was no magic money tree somewhere for health. well, she hasn't found it but the politics have moved and changed her mind. but vowing billions more is the comparatively easy part. deciding who will pay is much harder. and it's still to come. health bosses aren't even really sure if this post dated cheque will be enough but the government has made the promise before deciding who ta kes made the promise before deciding who takes the strain. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. three men have died after being hit by a train near a station in south london.

police are investigating whether the men were graffiti artists after reports that cans of spray paint were found near their bodies. sophie long is in brixton now. at some point in the early hours of this morning three men in their 20s we re this morning three men in their 20s were struck by a train and killed. 0ne were struck by a train and killed. one of those men has been identified. his family have been informed. tonight police are still working to find out who the other two were and why all three were on the tracks. just after 7:30 this morning, a train driver passing through this part of the track near brixton in south london reported seeing bodies on the line. ambulance workers found three men, all of them were in their 20s. police say they could have been dead for some hours. it is believed that they died earlier in the morning and their injuries are consistent with having been hit by a train. our investigation is focusing on how and why the men came to be on the tracks in the early hours of this morning. spray cans were found nearby, prompting speculation that the men could have been graffiti artists.

that is one line of inquiry the police are now investigating, but as you can see here, there is very little space between the tracks and the walls that have been sprayed. police say their priority now is to find who the two unidentified men were. they are appealing for anyone with information to contact them and they are reminding people that climbing onto the line for any reason is dangerous. they say there would have been no safe refuge for the men on the track. sophie long, bbc news, south london. a review into how much authorities knew about the parsons green tube bomber has revealed experts considered removing him from the list of extremists ten days before he carried out the attack. 18—year—old ahmed hassan took a bomb onto the tube last september despite concerns he had been radicalised by islamic state group. the government's establishing an expert panel to advise ministers on the health benefits of medicinal cannabis. it comes after the home secretary granted special dispensation for a 12—year—old boy with severe epilepsy to be treated with the drug.

billy caldwell has now been discharged from hospital. the battle over parliament's say in the brexit process has resumed in the house of lords. peers are voting on an amendment forcing ministers to consult parliament in the event of there being no deal. theresa may avoided defeat last week, but rebels say promised concessions are "valueless". in less than an hour's time, england will face tunisia in theirfirst group game at the world cup. dan roan‘s in volgograd. england's build—up to russia 2018 has been remarkably trouble—free, none of the usual injuries or drama 01’ none of the usual injuries or drama or level of expectation has contributed to their failures at recent major tournaments. magic gareth southgate managing to forge a relaxed and optimistic atmosphere in his squad. but this is where it matters, here in volgograd this evening against a tunisia side that shouldn't be underestimated. england

only have around 2000 or so fans in the city, many people put off by the threat of hooliganism. rather than russian thugs it is russian bugs that couldn't stomach could prove more of a nuisance, mosquitoes have hit the city. dan roan, thank you. much earlier than usual darren bett has the weather. more cloud coming into england and wales, many places dry, clearer skies returning to northern ireland, eventually into northern england and scotland. we have cooler and fresh airso scotland. we have cooler and fresh air so temperatures eight or nine further south much warmer and muggy as well. there is not a great deal of rain as you can see but we will get some rain eventually on that weather front. north of it we have the cooler and fresher air and south of that things are warmer but pretty cloudy. the thickening cloud comes on the weather front to bring rain into northern ireland, probably more in the afternoon so turning wetter

and rain later in the day towards scotland. bits of drizzle around western hills of england and wales but bright in the south—east and warmer temperatures into the mid—20s. thank you. that visit from us, now it's time for the news where you are. bye—bye. this is bbc news with shaun ley. we will look later and what is coming up later in the evening. let's get more now on our top story. theresa may has said the nhs is the government's ‘number one' spending priority, as she announced a new long—term funding plan for the health service. the prime minister says the nhs will be given an extra 20 billion pounds a year by 2023 —— but she warned taxpayers would have to pay more it. within the last hour the health secretary has been explaining to the house of commons exactly where the extra money will come from. alongside it advances in medicine, demographic pressures posed a

potentially existential threat to the nhs as we know it. with over 75 is expected to increase by 1.5 million in the next ten years, these pressures , million in the next ten years, these pressures, far from million in the next ten years, these pressures, farfrom reducing, will intensify. in march, the prime minister made the decision to commit toa minister made the decision to commit to a 10—year plan for the nhs backed up to a 10—year plan for the nhs backed up by to a 10—year plan for the nhs backed up by multi—year funding settlement. since then, i have been working closely with the prime minister and chancellor and can announce that the nhs will receive an increase of £20.5 billion a year in real terms by 2023-2024, an £20.5 billion a year in real terms by 2023—2024, an average of 3.4% a year of growth over the next five yea rs. year of growth over the next five years. the funding will be front—loaded with increases of 3.6% in the first two years which means 4 billion extra next year in real terms with an additional £1.25 billion cash to cope with specific

pension pressures. 0thers talk about their commitment to the nhs but this element makes clear that it is this government which delivers. details of this settlement will shortly be placed in the library of the house. this intervention is only possible because of difficult decisions taken by the government, opposed by many, to get our nation's finances back in order and get our national debt falling. some of the new investment in the nhs will be paid for by arsenal longer having to send annual memberships as restrictions to the eu after we have less —— paid for by us no eu after we have less —— paid for by us no longer. laughter. but the commitments the government is making goes further. and we will all need to make a

greater contribution through the tax system in a way that is fair and balanced. and we'll be speaking to former health secretary and now the chair of the nhs confederation, stephen dorrell shortly. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at the later time of 11.30 because of the world cup in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are the comment and features editor at cityam, rachel cunliffe and the political commentator, lance price. the government has confirmed that it will introduce a bill to make so—called "upskirting" a criminal offence. there was widespread criticism when a private members bill seeking to outlaw the practise was blocked by the conservative mp, sir christopher chope. the move was announced in the commons. mr speaker, because upskirting is an invasion of privacy, which leaves victims feeling humiliated, we will be bringing in legislation before this house, in government time, to ensure that this practice

becomes an offence. hear, hear. we will be introducing it in the house of commons on thursday, with a second reading before recess. hear, hear! the leadership that the honourable member for bath has shown and the outstanding campaign of gina martin had shown how it is possible for individuals to make a difference. the news comes as sir christopher chope — the mp who last week blocked the bill to make upskirting illegal — said he welcomed the news and had only objected on a procedural basis. i'm delighted that we have now got to the end of it. and the government has actually said that they are going to legislate for this matter, rather than leave it to the private members procedure and that is what i have been arguing for and i am delighted i have achieved my objective.

any regrets? the only regrets are that other people have so cruelly misunderstood what i did and since i spoke to gina martin who is behind all of this, immediately after the events in the house of commons on friday, she fully understood my motives and what i was doing and my bona fides and i find it intolerable that so many other people seem to have ascribed to me motives that i never had. england's world cup campaign will finally get underway — when they take on tunisia in volgograd in the far south of russia, in under an hours time. gareth southgate says his young squad has a ‘hunger‘ and ‘desire' for success and is looking forward to getting going. we can speak to our correspondent sarah rainsford who's in volgograd. sarah, there has been a lot of talk

about the absence of england fans and plenty of tunisian fans, is it starting to look a bit more balanced? not really. the other thing is that a lot of the people i see ina thing is that a lot of the people i see in a england shirts are not from england, there are a lot of russian people wearing england shirts. there are people wearing england shirts. there a re lots of people wearing england shirts. there are lots of tunisian fans. there are people with russian flags as well, an arsenal shirt over there, a real mixture of shirts but the england fa ns mixture of shirts but the england fans are in the minority. the tunisians have been singing and dancing in the city centre here in volgograd and lighting their flares and making quite a noise. being that fa ns and making quite a noise. being that fans have been more low—profile and there is a pretty good reason, one reason is 2016, the euros and the violence there with russian fans and

another reason is the politics, the political atmosphere between the uk and russia at the moment is terrible and russia at the moment is terrible and some fans have been worried about wearing their colours ahead of the match. today they have started to appearand we the match. today they have started to appear and we are expecting at least 2000 in the stadium tonight, not a normal sized england crowd by any means, possibly one of the smallest ever at a game of this sort, but i think they will make some noise. a couple of arrest for drunkenness, but on the mood, —— on the whole the mood has been good? minor incidents. the only one we have heard about. even when the tunisian fans were lighting their flares and doing things that normally do not happen on the streets of russian city, the police we re streets of russian city, the police were just streets of russian city, the police werejust going in streets of russian city, the police were just going in and taking streets of russian city, the police werejust going in and taking out the flares, but leaving their fans alone. i think they are under orders to let this go off as smoothly and as cheerfully as possible and to try keep things festive and the mood has been festive. there is a great atmosphere at ground. people in all

sorts of flags, notjust english or tunisian. let us hope they will have a great match. some break the news that has just come into us. the government has lost a vote in the house of lords over its brexit plans. peers have voted to give government —— parliament a bigger say. there is no great surprise and our results and we can get some analysis of it now from chris mason who is at westminster. are you in for a long night? hopefully not. let me try and make the case. i will struggle. the real excitement was in the house of lords this afternoon. this now sets up a potential conflict, a rerun of what did not happen last week, but which was threatened, a potential government

defeat. that is the key bit. we knew asa defeat. that is the key bit. we knew as a result of what happened in the house of commons last week, that this would head back to the house of lords. it is not surprising that the house of lords has defeated the government and that this will head back to the house of commons, but crucially, because of that row last week involving dominic grieve, the conservative mp and the government and whether or not the government was willing to compromise in any way, to try and ensure that parliament would have a greater say in the event of no deal, right towards the countdown of the uk's departure from the eu, this opening will bubble up now and reach a crunch point on wednesday in the commons. the difference is, that those who were irritated last week that the government was not doing more last week, are more so now, because they feel that the government did a bit of double—dealing that a promise to do something to take on board their

concerns, but in the end, did not really do that. we are building up toa really do that. we are building up to a real showdown on wednesday. last week there was a genuine fear from the government that they could be defeated, that the rebels have the numbers on their side. we saw the numbers on their side. we saw the guy in charge of parliamentary discipline for the government scuttling around in full gaze of the cameras, trying to twist the arms of conservative mps. he was successful then, but can he be successful this time around, given what has happened in the intervening days and given that this boat in the lords, the majority of 119 defeating the government, that big set piece occasion is now going to happen in a couple of days. dominic grieve was watching proceedings of the house of lords this afternoon. it will go back to the commons and lots of attention on him and other potential conservative rebels in the next 48 hours. perhaps after a little pause

for the football, i am on my way to a speech given byjacob rees—mogg, when does that speech start? seven o'clock. a small quiet, but dedication to the cause.|j o'clock. a small quiet, but dedication to the cause. i am sure you will be able to catch up on the highlights later. if you're really lucky, there might be a screen somewhere, if the organisers have any sense, they will have laid on a bit of coverage on the edge, maybe just over his shoulder. bit of coverage on the edge, maybe just over his shoulderlj bit of coverage on the edge, maybe just over his shoulder. i will pass on your suggestion to the speaker. in terms of what the government is hoping, do you think their belief is that the week has allowed them to mass surge down the numbers who will vote against or is there a danger that it has hardened? i heard a government ministers say, we are worried less by the ones voting against than the ones who might abstain. the bottom line is, that things are pretty fluid. yes, some

will have been irritated and perhaps more inclined to rebel as a result of what has happened over the last few days, others mightjust decide that they could abstain. 0thers might be sufficiently irritated that they will not pick up the phone when they will not pick up the phone when the wet calls. the simple reality is and this is what is the bottom line in any of these discussions around commons votes on brexit, the government does not have a majority of its own, it relies on the dup, therefore it does not require many conservative mps to even entertain the idea of either not voting are voting with the other side, for the government to get ratherjittery. it will not be confident it can win this vote. we know how determined they were to avoid defeat last week, they were to avoid defeat last week, the question will be, can they do anything to persuade, from their perspective, a sufficient number of conservative mps to do with a dead last week, bowed with the government

and not rebel, to ensure that they are not defeated. we know how deaf —— desperate they were to avoid defeat last week, they will be desperate to avoid defeat this week. enjoy the speech. chris mason predicting possibly another tough evening for the government work this evening. donald trump has said the us will not be a migrant camp as he defends his policy separating families at the border. some 2000 children, as young as 2 years old, have been separated from their parents as they tried to cross into the country illegally. these are the latest pictures from a migration centre in texas. they are the result of a white house policy to try to deter illegal immigration — it's a policy known as zero—tolerance and these are its young victims. the president accused the democrats of obstructing his efforts to reform immigration. we could have something done very quickly. good for the children, good

for the country, good for the world. it could take place quickly, we could have an immigration bill, we could have an immigration bill, we could have an immigration bill, we could have child separation, we are stuck with these horrible laws. they are horrible laws. what is happening is so sad, it is so sad and it can be taken care of quickly, beautifully and we will have safety. this could really be something very special, it could be something, maybe even something for the world to watch, just like they are watching our great economy, how it is soaring. they could watch this. we have the worst immigration laws in the entire world. nobody has such sad, such bad and actually in many cases, such horrible and tough, you see about child separation, what is happening there. but just see about child separation, what is

happening there. butjust remember, a country without borders is not a country at all. donald trump discussing the need for immigration reform. president trump has said that the german public are turning against their leader over immigration. on twitter, mr trump said "crime in germany is way up" and that europe made a mistake ‘in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!. the german interior minister has given chancellor merkel until the end of the month to engineer a european deal on immigration, before he begins turning away migrants at the border. jenny hill is in berlin. jenny, this looked at one point like it was going to tear the governing coalition apart and possibly force angela merkel out of herjob. how does look now? is there a sense that things are easing off until the summit later this month? yeah, i think we have seen a bit of a truce, a ceasefire in this row, but it is

still threatening to tear at this very fragile coalition government apart. it is complicated, i will try to put it into a nutshell, the interior minister has a plan to turn away migrants from the german border, if they have already registered or officially sought asylu m registered or officially sought asylum in another eu country first. she wants a european solution. this has been going backwards and forwards for days and finally today, the interior minister said let us wait until my european summit at the end of next week and if angela merkel can come back with something then, maybe it is different, but he will implement the plan regardless. angela merkel reminded him today that she is the one whose job it is to decide this level of migration policy. it is an interesting area. the law is unclear. no one is sure about it. we know that this is damaging for angela merkel, it makes her look

wea k angela merkel, it makes her look weak and it illustrates the fragility of this coalition government. regardless of your opinion of angela merkel, you have to feel sorry for her. she has had a hell of last 48 hours, last night she watched germany being defeated in its first world cup match and then today, donald trump puts boot in as well! thank you very much. let's get more on our top story on the nhs funding and speak to former health secretary and now the chair of the nhs confederation, stephen dorrell who's in our westminster studio... good to speak to you. what do you make of the announcement of this additionalfunding? make of the announcement of this additional funding? the first point to make is that it is extremely welcome, that the government is providing significant increases in funding for the providing significant increases in funding forthe nhs, providing significant increases in funding for the nhs, but the second thing is to couple that with recognition that this, in truth, the government itself recognises that it is only a partial solution. if we

wa nt to is only a partial solution. if we want to deliver good health policy, yes of course we want funding in the nhs, but we have to understand the link between the nhs and the rest of local public services in particular. which is why, from the nhs confederation, we said ahead of this announcement, that what we needed in order to start to address some of theissues order to start to address some of the issues in the health service, is not just 4% for the the issues in the health service, is notjust 4% for the nhs, but we have notjust 4% for the nhs, but we have not quite got back, but we need 4% for the nhs, wheels and need 4% for social care, in order to deliver properjoined up social care, in order to deliver proper joined up local social care, in order to deliver properjoined up local public services. social care funding has been cut between 2009 and 2016 by something like 21%. this presumably is nowhere near capable of closing the gap, in the sense then the nhs is having to pick up with all that come from people who have not

received bakare who should have done. that is precisely right. it is worth reflecting for a second, we all know that we have in this country, and it is a good thing that we have, a growing elderly population, people are living longer and in particular, we also know that some of the fastest growth is in the population aged over 85. that is, of course, precisely the group that benefits significantly from social care. social care is about more than the care of the elderly, but in particular older people benefit from social care and in social care does not deliver the support that it is designed to deliver, the result shows up in the national health service. that is bad health policy, actually even more important than that, it is bad

concerned. that is why, seeing the nhs in isolation from the rest of local public services is in my view is to miss the point, it is to treat illness rather than try to sustained health. how about funding this longer term? when tony blair was prime minister and gordon brown was chancellor, they announced about taking extra money out of the tax system in order to bring health spending up to the european level but the european funding has continued to go up and we have been playing catch up. now the prime minister saying, you might have to pay more on tax. do we to have a grown—up debate about how we pay for this? presumably, we have to considerfuture this? presumably, we have to consider future generations of taxpayers to fund it and want to carry on funding it. all the evidence is that if you talk to people. i was an mp for 36 years and ifi people. i was an mp for 36 years and if i talk to my former constituents and look at the evidence of how people think about health and social ca re people think about health and social care and public services, it is hardly a revelation to say that the

services are paid for out of taxation. if as in advance and wealthy society, we want to measure ourselves against the test of looking properly sick elderly people, that cost money and i am pleased that the prime minister has acknowledged today, that if we are going to deliver our ambition of world —class going to deliver our ambition of world—class health care, that will cost money and the bill will have to be paid by the tax payer. is the message then the bold? it is to be bold, but not to persuade yourself that you're being massively bold, when you are telling voters that the national health service, local public services are paid for out of taxation, you might find they have got there first. it will leave feeling more humid

tonight the further south you are. there could be a bit of dampness
