it's been superb. it wasn't his nearest hospital but he was brought 50 miles by ambulance to have treatment here because of the expertise on offer. hospitals like this one, saint bartholomew's, provide specialist centres for dealing with patients with heart conditions across a wider area of london. but the performance of the nhs more generally, when it comes to treating people after heart attacks, is not as good as it is in some other healthcare systems. take the number who don't survive a heart attack. the report says the uk has one of the highest death rates within 30 days of admission to hospital. canada is doing the best, with the lowest death rate. come and have a stand up. that's lovely. for strokes, too, the nhs isn't doing as well as it could. the performance is improving and patients like dennis are well looked after. left leg with me, dennis... his rehab is on track after a stroke affected his speech and mobility, and he's hoping to get back to work

as a company director soon. what was that like? really good. fantastic, really good. the report finds that staffing levels in the nhs are lower than elsewhere. laura is a senior nurse. she loves her work but says sometimes the pressure can build up. we like a challenge and we are constantly trying to improve and expand our service in order to meet the needs of the people who require our care. the nhs is under great pressure. in many areas a&e waiting times have been getting longer, but what this analysis shows is that while the nhs lags some other healthcare systems, it's certainly not the worst performer. when it comes to the four—hour target for being treated or assessed in a&e, the research shows the nhs is in the middle of the pack for the proportion of patients dealt with in that time.

canada and australia, among others, are worse. so is the nhs value for money, and are patients getting the best care they can expect? given what we spend, we are ok, but we could definitely do better. it is very clear from our report that outcomes could be improved. we are very efficient, we spend very little on management costs, but we could spend more money well and effectively and improve the outcomes for people. so that will be the challenge for the nhs in the coming years, to meet the hopes of those who work in it and the needs of those who rely on it. hugh pym, bbc news. theresa may has congratulated president erdogan of turkey on his re—election, and said she hoped both countries could continue to work together on security, trade and the situation in syria. but the european union has criticised the elections, saying they weren't conducted on a level playing field. our correspondent mark lowen is in istanbul. tell us a little more now the reaction has died down a little over

night, what is the election there? that there are pretty vicious election campaign, today turkey paused to contemplate the victory. he has sweeping new powers, he will be able to choose seniorjudges. his biggest challenge today accepted defeat but warned of the dangers of the one—man rule era. the consolation for the opposition is that despite president erdogan‘s dominance here, still half the country rejected him. the problem for the west is how to deal with president erdogan. but they have to, for liberal democracies, they have to deal not only with the leader of turkey but with russia, egypt, hungary and the us. it is a strong ma ntle hungary and the us. it is a strong mantle now and president erdogan is undoubtedly one of its most powerful

members. thank you for the reaction in istanbul. the duke of cambridge has arrived in israel, the first member of the british royal family to undertake an official visit to the country. he will also visit the palestinian territories. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell is travelling with prince william on his 5—day tour of the middle east and has sent this report. it had become an anomaly which needed to be corrected. israel is a country with which britain has generally good relations, yet for 70 years — since its creation — there has never been an official visit by a member of the british royal family. the region's problems have meant the moment has never been deemed to be right. as prince william arrived at tel aviv airport this afternoon, israel was removed from the diminishing list of nations to which the british royals don't travel. but for all the welcoming smiles, this is a visit which has required a more than usual degree of care in its preparation and one precondition.

british officials made it clear from the outset that the visit to israel could only take place if william was also able to visit palestinian territories. it's intended to demonstrate britain's policy of evenhandedness between the israelis and the palestinians. royal visits are all about symbolism, so as well as the solemnity of the visit to yad vashem — israel's memorial to those killed in the holocaust — there will be meetings with israeli leaders and a trip to the palestinian territories to meet the palestinian leadership. for william, it's a rapid immersion in the challenges of the middle east. his visit began injordan. there, alongside the sightseeing at the ruined city ofjerash, where his wife catherine was photographed aged four with herfamily, there were meetings with refugee children from syria. the region's problems are complex, and this week william's diplomatic skills are being tested as he sees them at first hand. nicholas witchell, bbc news, jerusalem. at the world cup in russia, the host country are through to

the knockout phase despite a 3—0 defeat to uruguay. and despite last—minute drama in the games involving spain and portugal, both sides have qualified. england fans are still celebrating too, and some 14 million people across the uk watched the record—breaking win against panama yesterday. with all of today's world cup news, let's join our sports correspondent natalie pirks in moscow. this is the business end now of the group stages, where fans can plot a route through to the final. this time on thursday we will know where england will end up. in a moment we will look at what lies ahead for the three lions but first a look at the dramatic night of action. for iran and their portuguese manager, the maths was simple, beat portugal and be true to the knockout stage. but

ricardo quaresma had other ideas. endless video referrals peaked when iran were handed a dramatic penalty in injury time. iran's dramatic equaliser meant portugal were on the ropes but they clung on for second spotin ropes but they clung on for second spot in the group. england's next destination spain needed just one point but morocco had nothing to lose and promptly took the lead. theirjoy lose and promptly took the lead. their joy lasted five lose and promptly took the lead. theirjoy lasted five minutes, as it was laid on a plate for isco. david de gea could only watch in horror as this shop came past him but var did itsjob right this shop came past him but var did its job right at the end. this video replay showed it was not offside. the hosts have been rampant in this tournament, eight goals in two games have changed the public perception of them from no hopers to world cup

contenders. tonight they were brought back down to earth with a bang and a red card against uruguay. 3-0 the bang and a red card against uruguay. 3—0 the final score but there is still a chance to turn these frowns upside down in the knockout stages. in the other game history was made, egypt's goalkeeper became the oldest player to play in the world cup at 45 years old, saving a penalty to boot. it mattered little though, egypt's abysmal campaign ended in a defeat to saudi arabia, their third loss of the tournament. a penny for the thoughts of mo salah. it was an england win like no other. the team's 6—1 demolition of an their biggest ever world cup victory. expectations may have been low coming into the tournament, not after this. this morning the squad we re after this. this morning the squad were back training safely through to the next round of the competition

with a game to spare. sterner tests are to come but optimism is building. they are playing well, we are enjoying watching them, and let's enjoy the ride as it lasts. we do have potential in the tournament andi do have potential in the tournament and i don't think we should underplay ourselves any more. and i don't think we should underplay ourselves any morem england reached the quarterfinals, serial winners germany and brazil may lie in wait. finishing second could mean an easier route with mexico and switzerland possible opponent. to reach that far, england know they will have to overcome japan, senegal or colombia. first up however is an impressive old side on thursday. nothing separates the teams at the moment so how should england approach the game? it's nice to go into the knockout phase having won three games unbeaten. more than 14 million people watched the game.

at 83%, one of the largest shares in british tv history. just imagine what would happen if england continued to progress. england have benefited from var put to say it is controversial as putting it mildly. tonight cost a lot of confusion and that could be fatal for argentina, they could lot of confusion and that could be fatalfor argentina, they could be going out tomorrow in the group stages for the first time since 2002. thank you. a reminder of our top story tonight — mps have voted overwhelmingly in support of the heathrow airport expansion by 415 votes to 119. a pretty hefty majority in favour of that very controversial plan. that's it. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — quaresma scores one of the great goals of this world cup

but his portugal side are so close to going out. iran miss out on the last 16 by a whisker drama too for spain, an injury time goalfor adraw against morocco, as they top the group there's a reality check for russia, the hosts were already through but they've been outclassed by uruguay and the comeback continues at eastbourne, is wimbledon next for andy murray? hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm olly. hello there, this week is going to shred the nerves of their players and supportes the final round of group games to see who gets through to the knockout round.

groups a and b have been decided... dramatic in their own ways. we will get to group a in a minute, but what we do know is on the last 16. that we are going to get the knockout ties of portugal against uruguay and spain against russia... with all the drama in group b in how portugal and spain got out of that group. ...just alex guklrajani reports. i wasn't spain's future and the world cup resting his hands. it years ago they won this competition, two of them combined that gave him an opening that nobody saw coming. he is putting morocco in front! thankfully

for spain, they woke up and got them back on level terms. remember a draw would be enough for them to progress. morocco playing for pride, there will be in for a battle. eventually, another breakthrough came. what a fantastic goal! with time ticking away, spain conjured up some magic. on the pretty assistant referee to wave it away. until another assistant back in moscow decided to look again. the result, was a goal and for spain it was secured. so who would join in the last 16? could it be iran for the first time? they did not want to say goodbye to russia just yet. but they had to get onside very quickly.

portugal, like spain, needed to avoid defeat and said about their task in spectacular fashion. ricardo... not all a happy dough and iran's managers mood would get worse when rinaldo if that in the box. no penalty originally, though that decision would soon change. but would rinaldo deliver? the answer may just surprise you. would rinaldo deliver? the answer mayjust surprise you. and his game could've got a whole lot worse, that referees picking up the challenge, he would only get a yellow card. iran would still get their own piece of assistant and penalty. hope for iran! and that
