glory at the golden globes for a host of british stars. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the prime minister has unveiled a new, long term strategy for the nhs in england, aimed at saving up to half a million lives in the coming decade. she's promised an extra £20 billion for the health service budget by 2023, phased in over the next five years. there'll be greater emphasis on community and gp care and mental health. it's hoped the strategy will improve

the early diagnosis of cancers, and the prevention of heart attacks and strokes. our health correspondent, dominic hughes, reports. the health service is treating more people than ever before. but it is struggling in the face of unprecedented demand. so nhs managers in england have been working on a plan for the next decade, to try to improve services and ease those pressures. it is also about addressing on met need, particularly in services such as learning disability services and autism. mental health services, services that for too long have been squeezed from the national debate and unsupported by the nhs. the ten year plan includes the promise of more money for a community, gp and mental health services. every child with cancer will have their dna tested to identify the most effective treatments. and more patients will be cared for closer to

or at home, reducing the pressure on hospitals. this plan is in part about how the nhs in england will spend the extra money it was given last summer, more than £20 billion by 2023. scotland, wales and northern ireland also got extra cash and will develop their own plans. the prime minister says it is a key day for the entire nhs. this is an historic moment. 0ur day for the entire nhs. this is an historic moment. our vision is clear. 0ur historic moment. our vision is clear. our commitment is assured. so let's deliver the nhs of the future. many have welcomed the ambitions outlined in the plan. but labour says the health service lacks the resources to see it through. there are concerns also about the big issues the health service faces right now, not least a shortage of staff. the nhs currently has shortages of 100,000 staff. that could rise to almost 250000 by 2030 if current trends continue. osteo

arthritis is the sort of long—term condition that can have a serious impact on health, fitness and general well—being. at this physio session in blackburn, participants are encouraged to build strength and confidence. the aim of this class is to empower people, to help them manage their condition on their own. that would be good notjust for their physical health of their mental health. it will ease pressure on other parts of the health service, and that is going to be a key feature for the future plans of the entire nhs in england. today, the entire nhs in england. today, the nhs has revealed some ambitious plans. but the challenges the health service faces right now will mean meeting those ambitions will be very tough. dominic hughes, bbc news, blackburn. 0ur health correspondent, sophie hutchinson, is at the chelsea and westminster hospital in west london. how will the extra money be spent there? —— what difference will this extra money make to the nhs? is meant to be about reshaping the nhs and

transforming services. the prime minister said today it was about protecting the nhs for future generations. a bit of a step change, if you like, is what they are aiming for. the focus will be on prevention on mental health, but also on trying to keep people out of hospital, which they say is better for patients. they like being treated closer to home. but also, less expensive. i am at the chelsea and westminster hospital today. in their brand—new unit that opened in december, linked to their independent department. what it does is it diverts patients from a&e who are able to get around, who were able to walk, to be treated here during the day and then sends them home in the evening. if they need to come back the next day, they can, crowbar. 0ne come back the next day, they can, crowbar. one patient had been back forfour crowbar. one patient had been back for four days crowbar. one patient had been back forfour days in a row. it means they are not in hospital overnight. it is these same day services that the comment is trying to encourage and fund using this new money, the

£20 billion that it is putting in at the moment. generally speaking, there is great support for treatment closer to home right across the board. but there is concern from think thank that —— think tanks and unions that funding for a core religious services is still not there and the increases are still below historic levels. sophie, thank you. sophie hutchinson. and a reminder if you'd like to find out how the nhs is performing in your local area, uou can visit the bbc‘s online nhs tracker. just type your postcode in, to targets for cancer, a&e, and operations where you live. a man accused of stabbing a man to death on a train in surrey has appeared in court charged with murder. darren pencille, who's 35, did not enter a plea, but said he was innocent until proven guilty. he's due to appear again at guilford crown court

this afternoon. angus crawford is there. angus, what is the latest? it was on friday at one o'clock that lee pomeroy, si, friday at one o'clock that lee pomeroy, 51, was stabbed to death on a guildford to london train in front of his 14—year—old son. his family said he was an honourable man and a devoted family man. earlier today at staines magistrates' court we saw darren pencille, 35. he appeared very briefly. he was wearing a grey tracksuit, black spectacles, a small bandage on one hand. then he came into the dock he crouched on the floor so we could only see the top of his head. he said, "i'm hearing voices. i'm paranoid." he also said, "innocent until proven guilty." he did confirm his date of birth and name before being led away. shortly afterwards his partner, chelsea mitchell, 27, also appeared in

court. she is charged with assisting an offender. she was also led away and later this afternoon they were both appear at guildford crown court. angus, thank you. angus crawford. it's been confirmed that mps will vote on theresa may's brexit deal next tuesday. the vote was called off last month, but government sources say it won't be delayed again. it comes as more than 200 mps have signed a letter to the prime minister, urging her to rule out a no—deal brexit. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. new year, same old story. there is lots of activity at westminster but much movement. the prime minister is getting used to noises off. while launching her plans for the nhs she was also asked about the health of brexit deal. she is hoping the eu will signal controversial plans to avoid a hard borderfor ireland will either be temporary or unnecessary,

by pledging to make a new trade deal quickly. they will be setting out measures specific to northern ireland. we will be setting out proposals for a greater role for parliament as we move into the next stage of the negotiations. and we are continuing to work on further assurances, on further undertakings, from the european union. but a former conservative leader does not expect brussels to budge before the vote on the deal. if at all. she's still talking to the european union. i'm led to believe she has not had much back from them over christmas. i gather she is talking to them again this week. but at the moment nobody can detect anything new that is coming out. some mps through the uk is on course to the eu without a deal. more than 200 of them from different parties have written to the prime minister arguing this would hit manufacturing industry. we wa nt would hit manufacturing industry. we want the prime minister to rule out any question of a no—deal brexit. no

deal, no brexit. you have 211mps who all agree they don't want to leave the eu without a deal but agree on what they do want? our letter would enable a platform, ruling out a no deal, from which we would then have to reach an agreement on what kind of deal we want. here is the fundamental problem. currently there is no majority at which mr for the prime minister's deal. —— at westminster. the dup have once again said they cannot support it and that the proposals for avoiding a hard border in ireland are toxic and poisonous. the problem is there is no other alternative deal which mps can agree on. a former eu commissioner believes that another referendum may believes that another referendum may be the only way to break the deadlock. it may be that we can only end this divisive and impoverishing argument by holding another referendum. that may prove to be the only and the best way for britain to avoid an act of terrible self harm.

81 days until we are due to leave the eu and it is still not clear if that will be with a deal or no deal. ian watson, bbc news. 0ur assistant politcal editor norman smith is in westminster. so mps are back at work and labour have been granted an urgent question on brexit this afternoon? we seem to be scratched record country, just going round and round and round. with no sign than anything significant has changed since mrs may polled that first brexit vote last month. the dup still adamantly opposed. boris johnson sounding off against mrs may. the eu saying they will not reopen their agreement. and mrs may insisting her deal is the only deal in town. that means the prospect of her getting it through are still extraordinarily daunting. the hopi number 10 seems to be a bit of charm. we are told mrs may will be

biting tory mps, critics in to see her tonight at tomorrow, wednesday, give them a glass of chardonnay, try to get them on board. a little bit of carrot, there will be more reassu ra nces of carrot, there will be more reassurances about the role of parliament before we go into any northern ireland backstop, and a bit of stick, the threat of no deal if mps do not sign up to her agreement. that threat, of course, becomes ever more pressing as we move closer and closer to the deadline of march 29. the hope is that a combination of those three things might yet be enough to corral enough mps to support her agreement. but you have to say she is facing an absolutely gigantic task, the sort of mountaineering equivalent of trying to scale the north face of the aggar ina pairof to scale the north face of the aggar in a pair of plimsolls with a broken axe and a gary legg. norman, thank you. norman smith, herassistant

political editor. some of the government's planning for a no—deal brexit is being put to the test in kent. dozens of lorries have gathered at manston airport, a designated holding area for heavy goods vehicles if there are delays at dover. the road haulage association says the exercise is "too little, too late". simonjones is at manston. there had been fears a no—deal brexit could lead to gridlock on our roads. kent county council has warned that pupils could struggle to get to school, patients could find it difficult to get to hospital. the government was under some pressure to be seen to be doing something, hence today's trial at this disused airport in kent. critics have said it is too little, too late and onto small a scale. a disused airport, 89 lorries, and with less than three months to go until brexit, a first rehearsal by the government for managing hgvs in a no—deal scenario. manston airport could be used as a giant lorry park,

if extra checks at dover were to lead to queues, as some have predicted, stretching back for 30 miles. but the government also wants to test how easily those lorries could then make the 20—mile journey to dover. well, it's just gone eight in the morning, and this is the first group of lorries heading out of manston airport towards the port of dover. the aim is to put them out on the road network during rush hour, as people are heading to work or to school, to see how the system copes. the journey involves some single carriage roads, and many roundabouts with potential disruption to others in the area facing a convoy of trucks, and some are questioning the value of the trial. well, i welcome the department for transport ramping up brexit preparations, but this trial is on far too small a scale. it's just about 100 lorries, when about 10,000 lorries come to the channel ports every single day. this isn't the right routing. the better thing is to use kent's motorways, not an airfield. some of those paid by the department for transport to take part

believe it's too little, too late, and the trial should have taken place months ago. this will work, but it needs work. it needs more work and more thought. they've left it a bit too late. why are they doing it now? with two months to go. it's not good, not good. i'm not sure, really. a waste of time, personally. but, at the end of the day, what will be will be, eh? the department for transport said it did not expect a no deal scenario, and it is the duty of a responsible government to continue to prepare for all eventualities and contingencies. the local council has helped organise the trial. what we're learning from this is to see if we need to make any changes to the root, any changes to the release points, so we do have plenty of time for that. —— route. the rha claim we should have done it nine months ago. that really wouldn't have made a lot of difference. the department for transport said the exercise has gone well with roads coping — but if this were for real, it would be on a much bigger scale. the government was hoping 150

lorries would turn up for this trial. they only managed to attract 89, which has led critics to say this has been a bit of a farce. the government insists this was never about the numbers. it was about how they were managing it. for that this has been a valuable exercise. simon jones. our top story this lunchtime. the prime minister unveils the government's10—year the prime minister unveils the government's 10—year strategy for the nhs in england, saying it aims to save half a million lives. and still to come — novel ways to put old christmas trees to good use. coming up on bbc news, british number one johanna konta for the second time in two days taking to the court. the australian open just

month. lizo mzimba, bbc news. new car sales last year saw the biggest annual fall since the financial crisis a decade ago. they fell by almost 7% on the previous year. the society of motor manufacturers and traders has blamed what it called a "perfect storm" of low consumer confidence linked to brexit, and concern about the future of diesel vehicles. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. the past year was not a good one for the british car industry. new registrations in 2018 were down sharply, as buyers proved reluctant to splash out on a shiny new set of wheels. it was the second year in succession that the market fell. the biggest decline was in sales of diesel cars. they were down nearly 30%. there was a modest increase in the number of petrol cars registered — up almost 9%. and sales of electric and hybrid cars rose by more than 20%, but they still make up only a small part of the market. diesels have an image problem.

they're widely seen as being dirty, a major contributor to bad air in ourcities. that means there an easy target for politicians who talk about introducing restrictions, on them or banning them altogether, and faced with that customers simply aren't buying. yet diesels were once sold as an environmentally friendly option, so what's going on? now we understand much more about nitrogen oxide emissions and particulate emissions from diesel cars, and it also happens that petrol cars have become much more adept at reducing nox emissions than diesel cars, and we understand more about the health effects of diesel. but while diesels produce nox

which contribute to lung problems, some experts insist they are still needed, because they also emit less carbon dioxide than petrol cars, and carbon dioxide is a factor in climate change. people within the industry insist modern diesels are perfectly clean, and do have a future. absolutely, diesel has a future. yes, the market and demand has declined, and because there's been a lot of uncertainty people wearing sure what policies would come in. they're in place now, there are no specific bans on diesel. yet at a time when consumer confidence is already falling, cleaning up the blackened image of diesel may prove to be a very hard sell indeed. theo leggett, bbc news. a young saudi woman who says she has fled herfamily in fearfor her life has barricaded herself into a hotel room at bangkok airport. the immigration chief in thailand says that rahaf mohammed al-qunun will be given a temporary entry permit to the country while the un high commissionerfor refugees assesses her status. here's richard galpin. i'm still in the room. i have no choice... 18—year—old ra haf mohammed al-qunun has been at bangkok airport since saturday, and has now barricaded herself inside her hotel room,

saying she fears for her life if she's sent back to saudi arabia. i'm not leaving my room until i see unhcr. i want asylum. she arrived here in thailand after jumping on a flight from kuwait during a family visit there. her aim — to reach australia. but she was stopped by the authorities here at bangkok airport. human rights activists are convinced that if she were to be deported to saudi arabia, her life would be in danger. if she is sent back to saudi arabia, to her family, they will have essential impunity to abuse her, to inflict honour—related violence against her. but fears that thai immigration officials would send her back home now seem to have diminished. translation: we are

the land of smiles. we will not send anyone to their death. we won't do that — we will adhere to the human rights principles under the rule of law. and, in another significant development, officials from the united nations refugee agency have now met with rahaf mohammed al-qunun to assess if she should be granted asylum. she is to be granted a temporary entry permit into the country. having fled from what she claims was her abusive family, and having renounced islam, she is in no doubt she needs protection. richard galpin, bbc news. a dinghy which it's thought may have carried migrants across the english channel has been found on a beach in dungeness in kent. border force officers are examining the vessel, which has six life jackets on board. it's the first reported sighting of a migrant craft on the kent coast in a week, and comes after the home office sent in a naval vessel to patrol the channel.

the american actor kevin spacey will appear in court in massachusetts later this afternoon, charged with sexually assaulting a teenager in 2016. the star of house of cards was fired from the drama because of multiple sexual assault allegations against him, all of which he denies. nada tawfik is outside the court house in massachusetts, where the actor will appear in the next few hours. this is normally the summer retreat of the rich and famous but in the quiet of winter this case has caused quite a stir. anticipation has been building since weeks ever since charges were first announced in now the world's media have descended on this courthouse to see kevin spacey there injust a this courthouse to see kevin spacey there in just a few hours. you trusted me, even though you knew you shouldn't. kevin spacey had a talent for commanding an audience. but this bizarre video, posted just as newsflash that the actor would face felony charges of sexual assault, left many scratching their heads.

but you wouldn't believe the worst without evidence, would you? you wouldn't rush to judgments without facts, would you? spacey reprised his former role as frank underwood from the show house of cards, and referenced the fictional death of his character and the very real accusations against him. but if it wasn't an attempt at a comeback, his upcoming court appearance will certainly complicate that. after a string of allegations, kevin spacey has been charged with groping an 18—year—old male, at this bar in nantucket injuly of 2016. to kevin spacey, i want to say this. shame on you for what you did to my son. heather unruh said her son did not report the crime to police right away out of embarrassment and fear. she called spacey a sexual predator. kevin spacey bought him drink after drink after drink, and when my son was drunk spacey stuck his hand inside my son's pants and grabbed his genitals.

according to police, the accuser captured part of the alleged attack on video, sent over snapchat to his girlfriend at the time. scores of allegations against the oscar winner surfaced at the height of the me too movement, when many felt empowered to speak out... you're out of your depth here... actor anthony rapp was the first to accuse spacey of sexual misconduct — saying it happened when rapp was just 1a years old. spacey said he did not recall the incident, but apologised for what he said could have been deeply inappropriate drunken behaviour. in the same statement, he came out as a gay man. the backlash was immediate, with many accusing spacey of trying to deflect attention from his behaviour. he was stripped of titles and honours and erased from hollywood projects. according to his lawyers, kevin spacey plans to plead not guilty. but he tried to waive

his appearance, arguing that his presence would increase the negative publicity around the case, but the judge denied that request. so kevin spacey will have to face the charge against him in a court of law with the world watching. thank you very much. nada tawfik reporting there. people across the country have been taking down their christmas trees, an estimated 7 million of which end up in landfill every year. but now some christmas trees are being recycled and reused in rather creative ways, as tim muffet reports. we're rapidly leaving christmas behind. but in the river greta in cumbria, old trees have a new role. we're attaching these christmas trees to some logs that we've got at the base of a previous erosion on the river bank. in an area prone to flooding, this idea has works well. this idea has worked well. as the water level rises, all the energy in the water is dissipated with the christmas tree and itjust

prevents erosion behind the christmas tree, the erosion of the river banks. it is thought around 8 million natural christmas trees are bought in the uk every year, but when it comes to disposing of them, projects like this aren't typical. some councils do recycle them, turning them into compost or woodchips. but that requires special machinery. it's thought between six and seven million trees just end up in landfill. compared to leaves on other trees, pine needles take a long time to decompose. so as christmas trees rot, they comparatively give off huge amounts of greenhouse gases such as methane. but at the university of sheffield, they have been experimenting with them. this process converts the solid pine needles into a liquid product. so what you've done through this process is you've taken the pine needles and turned it into this oil and this product here, which can

then be used to make other things? exactly. what significance could that have for christmas trees in the future? the significance of this is that we can convert the used christmas trees that would normally go to landfills into this useful product. glucose is used as a sweetener in the food industry. ascetic acid is used for the manufacture of paint, adhesives and vinegar. the research is in its early stages. the team say recycling christmas trees on a large scale like this is still several years off. not that the animals at colchester zoo are bothered. forfeeding, foraging or playing, staff say these christmas leftovers are always gratefully received. tim muffett, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's susan powell. good afternoon to you. we're
