today at 5pm, we're live at westminster, where mps have returned for the first session of the new year, as the prime minister unveils a ten—year plan for the nhs in england. theresa may says the plan would aim to save half a million lives, with the focus on prevention and early detection of disease. this is an historic moment. our vision is clear, our commitment is ensured, so let's deliver the nhs of the future. —— our vision is clear, our commitment is asssured, in the house of commons, mps are due to listen to details from the health secretary, as critics say the plan is unrealistic and not properly costed. herflesh we'll be getting reaction from some of those who work on the frontline in the nhs. the other main stories on bbc news at five. as the brexit debate starts up here again at westminster, mps are told the big vote on theresa may's plan will take place a week tomorrow. dozens of lorries take part in a test run near the coast of kent, to gauge the readiness for a no—deal brexit — but some hauliers said it was a farce and too

little, too late. a man appears in court accused of killing a father who was stabbed several times in front of his teenage son on a commuter train. the us actor kevin spacey appears in court over allegations that he sexually assaulted a teenager at a bar in massachusetts in 2016. you read it. olivia colman, the favourite. the star of the the favourite, olivia colman, is among several british winners at this year's golden globe awards. it's five o'clock. we're live at westminster, where mps have returned after the christmas and new year break heading for the big vote

on theresa may's brexit plan, which takes place here a week tomorrow. the big question is whether the prime minister can offer more reassurances on her plan — enough to convert dozens of mps to her cause. and as westminster gears up for that, the prime minister has today been focusing her attention on the nhs in england, unveiling a new, long—term strategy which it's claimed could save up to half a million lives in the coming decade. there's a promise of an extra £20 billion for the health service budget by 2023. critics say the stragegy is not properly costed and has critics say the strategy is not properly costed and has critics say the strategy is not properly costed and has unrealistic ambitions, as our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. the health service is treating more people than ever before. but it's struggling in the face of unprecedented demand. so nhs managers in england have been working on a plan for the next decade, to try and improve services and to ease those pressures. it's also about addressing unmet 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 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. and the prime minister says it's a key day for the entire nhs. this is an 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 ten—year plan. but labour says the health service lacks the resources to see it through, and there are concerns too about the big issues the health service faces right now — not least a shortage of staff. the nhs currently has shortages of over 100,000 staff. that could rise to almost 250,000 by 2030 if current trends continue. 0steoarthritis 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 up their strength and confidence. the aim of this class is to empower people, to help them manage their condition on their own. that's going to be good notjust for their physical health but their mental health as well. it will also ease pressure on other parts of the health service, and that is going to be a key feature for the future plans for 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. so so the key there challenges. let's go to chelsea and talk to lesley watts, chief executive of chelsea, westminster and west middlesex university hospitals. good of you to join us. good of you tojoin us. how good of you to join us. how credible is this strategy, given the enormous pressure there has been on the funding of the health service over the past eight or nine years? thank you very much. i don't think we can avoid that there are huge challenges in the nhs right now, but, actually, this strategy has come from the nhs, it builds on work we have already been doing and describes very clearly the priorities we have. it describes how we are going to work together to meet those challenges and, actually, it talks a lot about

collaboration between all the services, right through the life course of patience and right through the life course of disease in a way we have never described before, and working together is the way we will meet those challenges. when we talk about £20 billion, let's talk about bad magic figure, the 3.4% increase and experts will say and you know better than anyone, that is to do with really keeping things as they are, a kind of stand still, if you look back over the context of nhs spending. it will take much more than that to fulfil the ambitions of this strategy. what is your answer to that? so in terms of the money, i am nota to that? so in terms of the money, i am not a huge expert on money but what i do know is the nhs always needs money. but there is not a never—ending part and we have to find different ways of delivering ca re find different ways of delivering care to patientss in the most efficient way we can and we know now from a number of pieces of work that

have been done across the country and here at chelsea and westminster as well that if we treat patients differently, if we make better use of our primary care, if we make better use of innovation and digital technology, we are able to make much better use of the overall resources. now, i don't know the overall answer as to whether that is enough money in the end. that is why this is a long—term strategy, a long—term vision and it will be integrated as time goes on, but, right now, it is a good strategy and it is very welcome that there is increased funding into the nhs. one of the big things i wanted to ask it was about social care. it is hugely odorous in terms of cost and has not been resolved in terms of a strategy going forward in england and i am wondering, with all of the elderly people who have really been cared for in hospitals and not been able to be put out to other kinds of facilities because of the lack of resources , facilities because of the lack of resources, where do you think the progress will come in that area? so

ina number of progress will come in that area? so in a number of areas. if i take north—west london as an example, we are working together with all of our karthik skin primary care, community care, mental health and the local authority to establish one of the best ways of caring for patients, particularly in that age group, working together with all of our partners. we have a study at the moment where we can remotely monitor patients with heart disease and some of these are elderly and instead of bringing them into hospital, we can speak to their gp and indeed speak to their carer about adjusting their medication. we already have agreed a plan in north—west london with our local authority colleagues to make more use of workforce, to make more use of a state, so we combine together to provide care through that life course, right from when oui’ that life course, right from when our babies are born to caring with

those patients with very long—term conditions. and we do know... sorry. sorry, i will ask you one more question because time is against us, i'm afraid. if you were to be asked, for the main challenge that you face, maybe strategy, maybe it is management, resources, over the face, maybe strategy, maybe it is management, resources, overthe next few years, what would you tell viewers? i would say workforce is a real challenge to us all but by working together, using our workforce, using digital technology, using innovation and then using workforce in a different way gives us workforce in a different way gives us the best prospect of being able to meet those challenges. good to talk to you, thank you very much your time today, leslie watts, the chief executive of the chelsea and westminster hospitals. with me is lord kerslake, former head of the civil service and also former chair of king's college hospital foundation trust. thank you so much forjoining us, it is good to see you. workforce was the big challenge mentioned that there right at the end, the big

challenge. workforce, isuppose, in terms of trying to look ahead with the brexit process happening and the way staff are brought into the service. what would you say to the question that i ask, the big challenge facing the nhs over the next five years? let me say first that i think it is good we have a long—term plan and it is focused on the right issues but i think there are three big challenges here. money. the nhs has been under water at the ages of austerity and what is being put in now is only enough to keep the show on the road. secondly, stabbing. we have vacancies of 100000 and brexit will make that problem a lot, lot worse —— staffing. and thirdly, we have a real crisis in social care that has not yet been properly addressed. we are nine months behind in seeing the green paperfrom are nine months behind in seeing the green paper from the government that was promised and the local government association and others are saying there is a £6 billion deficit. those are three massive

challenges. if we take the first one, which, as you say, isjust keeping the show on the road. what kind of funding level could have been possible, do you think, if it needed to be much more than this in order to make radical progress? the you think the government could have afforded to put more in or not? you think the government could have afforded to put more in or nowm is possible they could have put more in but what is important is you don't overpromise what you can get from the extra funding. it is good they have put 20 billion in but it won't be good if the nhs over promises and under delivers. that will impact on hospitals and others and what i think is the priority at the moment is to get the system stable, deal with the deficits, deal with the pressures on hospitals on performance and then think about how we move forward from there, rather than setting big ambitions that may 01’ than setting big ambitions that may or may not be possible to deliver. the second point was to do with staffing, numbers, because of all the vacant posts at the moment and

the vacant posts at the moment and the difficulty recruiting. let's think about the brexit context, which still has a lot of uncertainty around it, what is your main concern there? i think it is that we have a very fragmented system and so as a consequence of that, we haven't had everybody pulling in the same direction in terms of addressing the number of nurses we need and the number of nurses we need and the number of nurses we need and the number of doctors we need. we have actually lost staff during the period of austerity and we need to rapidly encourage people to get back into the nhs. the long—term plan does recognise this issue but it is a really big issue and an issue here and now, not one for the future. your third point was social care, which i did raise again with the previous guest and she acknowledged it was a big challenge, but surely we are not in a position where we have clarity of strategy on this? well, indeed, we are lacking the strategy and, of course, there is a lot that can be done by better working together at local level, we should always recognise that, but,

fundamentally, we have a financial crisis in social care that is as big if not bigger than that we have for the nhs and, unless we face up to that, we are never really going to get to grips with the challenges we face, the ageing population, the increased needs. 0ne face, the ageing population, the increased needs. one way or another, this system will struggle to deliver. we are dealing with this in an england context, it is important to underline that. what can happen in wales and scotland and northern ireland can be different than the welsh government has said it is trying to knit together primary health care and social health care as well. are there lessons to be learned from other parts of the uk? i think you should always be open to lessons that can be learned and there are some really good examples in local government of close working. i think there is a lot that is good at the moment going on at local level, but you cannot magic away the scale of the financial challenge. local government has seen a third of its funding go in the

last six years and you can'tjust deal with that, over half of their budget goes on care, so you can do the maths, as they say. something has to give. lord coe is late, thank you very much. —— lord kerslake. and a reminder — if you'd like to find out how the nhs is performing in your local area, you can visit the bbc‘s online nhs tracker. just type in your postcode, to find targets for cancer, a&e, and operations where you live. that's all at bbc.co.uk/news. put in the postcode and you should get a pretty good idea of what is going on where you live. it isjust coming up to 5:15pm. 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. as the brexit debate starts up again at westminster, mps are told the big vote on theresa may's plan

will take place a week tomorrow. a man appears in court accused of killing a father who was stabbed several times in front of his teenage son on a commuter train. and in sport, the fa cup third round concludes with liverpool against wolverhampton wanderers tonight, as well as the fourth round draw, with newport county, old and barnett and had. joanna konta's campaign looks on shaky ground, she withdraws from the sydney international for the second time in two days, with the first grand slam week away. and the world and the dopey —— world anti—doping agency experts will return to russia which could lead to the prosecution of hundreds of drug cheats. i will have more on the stories at 5:30pm. so here we are on westminster on the

day mps have returned after the christmas and new year break. 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 insist 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 leaving the european union without a formal deal. 0ur political correspondent iain watson has the latest. new year, same old story. there's lots of activity at westminster but not much movement. the prime minister's getting used to noises off. while she was launching her plans for the nhs, she was also asked about the health of her brexit deal. she's hoping the eu will signal that the controversial plans to avoid a hard borderfor ireland will either be temporary or unnecessary, by pledging to conclude a new trade deal quickly. they will be setting out measures which will be 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 prime minister's deal, if at all. she's still talking to the european union. i'm led to believe she hasn't had much back from them over the christmas period. i gather she is talking to them again this week. but at the moment nobody can detect anything new that is coming out now. but some mps fear that 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 want the prime minister to rule out any question of a no—deal brexit. no deal, no brexit. so you have 211 mps who all agree they don't want to leave the eu without a deal, but they can't agree on what they do want. 0ur letter would enable a foundation, a platform, ruling out a no deal,

from which we would then have to reach an agreement on what kind of deal we want. so here is the fundamental problem. currently there is no majority at westminster for the prime minister's deal. the party propping up her government, northern ireland's dup, have once again said they can't support it, and that the proposals for avoiding a hard border in ireland are toxic and poisonous. but the problem is there is no other alternative deal which mps can agree on. a former eu commissioner 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's still not clear if that will be with a deal or no deal. ian watson, bbc news, westminster.

let's go to downing street now and our correspondent alex forsyth. alex, when we look at the challenge the prime minister is facing at the start of this new year and the fact that all of these mps have written to her today about the fears they have about a no—deal brexit, how do you assess things? i think the challenge is pretty much as big as it was at the end of last year. i think downing street had hoped over the christmas break that mps' mines would be voges, they would see the reason to rally around the prime minister's feel —— minds' would be focused. what we are hearing is that hasn't happened so what we are getting is a two pronged approach from downing street. the first is a sort of charm offensive, theresa may has invited conservative backbench mps here to demonstrate for a drink tonight to talk over the brexit deal, i am guessing to see if she

can win any round, and theresa may is continuing to have those conversations with the eu to seek those assurances but as things stand, it doesn't seem like there has been any material breakthrough, so much so that the labour leader jeremy corbyn tried to get theresa may to appear in the commons earlier but she was busy elsewhere. instead, brexit secretary stephen barkley appeared and jeremy corbyn said to him that basically nothing has changed. the government is fooling nobody. these shambolic preparations are too little, too late. the reality is, mr speaker, there is no majority in this house to support no deal. why won't the government face up to this truth and stop wasting our time and our money. the prime minister should be here, updating mps on what progress she has achieved, if any. instead, she is continuing her approach, as before christmas, of ducking scrutiny and dodging accountability. we will hold this government to account for their incompetence. mr speaker, when the debate begins

on wednesday, the government will be clear with the house what has been achieved since the vote was the third last year. as i said when i spoke in the debate on the 4th of december, the deal will enable us to deliver affaires, december, the deal will enable us to deliveraffaires, skills december, the deal will enable us to deliver affaires, skills —based immigration system, control over our fisheries policy and agricultural policies. just a sense of some of the exchanges there in the house earlier today. alex, ithink the exchanges there in the house earlier today. alex, i think it is fairto earlier today. alex, i think it is fair to say that we have had more evidence today of the intensity of feeling and anger, really, in many quarters that still exists around this brexit debate. it is no surprise, really, but the intensity of some of it on this platform today was there for all to see. undoubtedly. there have been protests on both sides of this brexit argument outside parliament for a number of months now and they we re for a number of months now and they were back there this morning, but the protest ended the something more

when the conservative mp and a superego peered outside parliament to give a series of interviews —— anna soubry. she suffered some harassment. while you going against them? when you scraped in with a small majority? she said the police should have done more about it and she was giving a bbc interview when some people were shouting at her, calling her a nat c, which is obviously very offensive. —— calling her a nazi. this was brought up in the house, speaking about intimidating threats, and actions taking place not just intimidating threats, and actions taking place notjust against mps but against members of the press, the public and peaceful activists and the speakerjohn bercow said police had been made aware of concerns and said he was concerned at this stage about the pattern of progress targeted in particular at women, so as you say, this debate has always been very forceful on both sides and i think it now is really reaching something of a different level. alex forsyth in

downing street, thank you. back here outside the houses of parliament, the palace of westminster, the conservative mp and former cabinet ministerjohn whittingdale is with me. thank you forjoining us. do you sympathise with some of these collea g u es sympathise with some of these colleagues who have, again, decided, in some greater numbers this time, to get in touch with the prime minister to say that they really fearfor minister to say that they really fear for the potential consequences ofa fear for the potential consequences of a no—deal brexit? fear for the potential consequences of a no-deal brexit? i think a lot of a no-deal brexit? i think a lot of the fears expressed about a no deal exit are being exaggerated. we will be able to trade on world trade 0rganisation terms and a lot of the positions taken and measures put in place are there to make sure that some of the worst concerns are not proven to be correct. but i have a lwa ys proven to be correct. but i have always made clear that i would prefer always made clear that i would p refer to always made clear that i would prefer to leave with an agreement, i just don't like the agreement the prime minister is currently proposing. what is it, then, that so many of your colleagues seem not to understand about your point of view? why are they part of this kind of

sense of exaggerating the problem, as you would put it? you have got to remember that a large number of mps, a majority, didn't want to leave the european union in the first place, they campaign to remain and those currently arguing that we should still say in the single market or the customs union are attempting to salvage continued membership. i think in some ways, that would be a worse position than being a full member. it means we would be subject to european rules without being to influence them, but for the people who voted leave, it was or was made clear that it meant leaving the european union and the single market and the customs union. looking ahead to the vote next week, do you sense that things may have changed? before christmas, you were encouraged and others like you, to take soundings in york constituency by the prime minister. what were people saying? 0pinions minister. what were people saying? opinions are divided in my constituency, just as in every other constituency, just as in every other constituency in the country but my

constituency in the country but my constituency voted by a significant majority to leave and i don't think it has changed. i think the postponement of the vote, a number of us hoped the prime minister was going to go to brussels and get some changes that would meet concerns about the withdrawal agreement, particularly the northern ireland backstop, but it appears nothing has changed. but there was no prospect of any legally enforceable changes, it was to do with reassurances. i'm afraid reassurances aren't enough. the dup have made absolutely plain that they will only support it if there is binding legal necessity within the agreement for us to leave the customs union after a specific period, that is the one thing that it appears the european union are not willing to give a sand, on that basis, i can't see any realistic prospect that the deal will get through parliament. lots of people are alarmed, there is a lot of disquiet around the state of this process now. what would you say to people are the main options available to the prime minister if his vote goes against her next week?

well, i don't accept it is question of this deal or no deal at all. 0bviously, time is getting very short but if there is a real chance that we could get an alternative deal, a agreement which a number of us deal, a agreement which a number of us have been calling for from the start, then that is what i think we should work to achieve and even if it meantan should work to achieve and even if it meant an extension of article 50, if there is a real prospect that the end of that to get the free trade agreement, we would accept that. end of that to get the free trade agreement, we would accept thatm might takea agreement, we would accept thatm might take a long extension to get a free trade agreement in place, surely? just on the basis of others. nobody else has ever started with the position of having free trade and then negotiating an alternative arrangement from within that. every other country started out without any agreement. we are starting as full members where we already comply with all of the eu obligations and requirements. we don't want to continue to have to accept rules but we are starting from a wholly different point to any country trying to achieve an agreement

before. but you don't take the prime minister at her word when she says the deal she is offering is the only realistic, practical one on offer? no, i don't because i have been to meet michel barnier along with my collea g u es meet michel barnier along with my colleagues on the select committee and he set out his proposal, which was for a free—trade agreement and would build on the type of agreement canada already has. that is what i would like to see and if we set out to achieve that, that would be done. good to see you, thanks forjoining us. john whittingdale, senior conservative mp. we will have more on the brexit process as we go through the hour. the us actor kevin spacey has appeared in court in massachusetts charged with sexually assaulting a teenager in 2016. the star of house of cards and many hollywood films has faced multiple allegations of sexual assault, all of which he denies. 0ur correspondent nada tawfik is outside the courthouse in massachusetts, where the actor arrived just over an hour ago. tell us what happened.

tell us what happenedlj tell us what happened. i think it is worth remembering that kevin spacey tried to wave his appearance at this arraignment, saying it would increase the negative publicity around this case and the judge denied it and around this case and the judge denied itand in around this case and the judge denied it and in fact, there was intense media coverage of his appearance. in fact, intense media coverage of his appearance. infact, news intense media coverage of his appearance. in fact, news helicopter covered his silver suv as it made way from the airport to hear in nantucket, to the courthouse. the brief court appearance lasted just a short while. kevin spacey entered wearing a suit, he entered with his lawyer and didn't say a word. here we re lawyer and didn't say a word. here were the charges as they were read out to him by court officials. clerk: ok, this complaint charges that in the town of nantucket on july the 8th, 2016, did commit indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or over. judge: sir, if you are charged with another offence while this matter is open, you can be held for 90 days without bail.

and kevin spacey did not speak during the entire appearance, but later, his lawyers did enter a plea of not guilty for him in court documents. thejudge of not guilty for him in court documents. the judge also told him that he could not have any contact with his alleged accuser. now, kevin spacey will not have to appear for the next hearing, which is scheduled for march before. and the accuser, along with his mother, who has spoken out publicly about the allegations, were not in court today, but their lawyer in a statement said that the accuser was doing this for all of the victims out there who were still thinking about reporting their own cases of sexual abuse. now, of about reporting their own cases of sexualabuse. now, of course, about reporting their own cases of sexual abuse. now, of course, for kevin spacey, this was one of the low moments since his career in ploo

did, following dozens of allegations of sexual abuse, starting the first with the actor anthony rapp, who said kevin spacey tried to seduce him when he was just 1a years old. since then, kevin spacey has been pulled from key hollywood projects, including the hit series house of cards, and from the ridley scott movie all for the money and stripped of many of his titles and honours. while kevin spacey is one of the latest mail prominent figures to face legal consequences from these allegations, he will possibly be able to take this case to trial and defend himself. many thanks. the latest from the courthouse in nantucket. the latest from the kevin spacey trial letters coming out later this year. it is 5:30 p:m.. more on the

brexit process and the nhs statement today in a short while. let's take a look at the weather now with susan. good evening. some colder prospect in the next couple of days. after a cloudy start of the week, some brighter ones as well. windy today across northern scotland, thanks to this area of low pressure, which will start to drift off into the north sea, but it will stay windy for scotland through this evening and a good part of tonight, particularly for the northern isles, and to the north of the mainland, wind gusting in excess of 70 mph. you can see them tapering off a little into the small hours of tuesday. we are still left with quite a strong northerly behind that area of low pressure by the time we get to tuesday morning. the wind is strong enough to keep us frost free, but a much chillier feel to get tuesday under way. more sunshine around and today, very little rain, perhaps a few showers pushing into northern scotland, one or two

clipping north sea coast, but the strong wind down the north sea coast definitely notable. high spring tides for lincolnshire and the coast of the sangria, bringing the risk of coastal flooding. for all of us, brighter day, or to call the one in prospect. —— the coast of east anglia. the time has just turned 5:30pm. let's have the headlines. 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. as the brexit debate starts up again at westminster, mps are told the big vote on theresa may's plan will take place a week tomorrow. a man appears in court accused of killing a father who was allegedly stabbed several times in front of his teenage son on a commuter train. the us actor kevin spacey appears in court over allegations that he sexually assaulted a teenager at a bar in massachusetts in 2016. so, at 5:33 p:m., let's catch up

will the day's sport and join sarah. thank you very much. good evening. jurgen klopp is expected to name a much changed side for tonight's third—round fa cup tie. the boss was asked how input into what i am to wina asked how input into what i am to win a trophy, having failed to do so since taking over more than three yea rs since taking over more than three years ago, despite retaking three finals —— reaching three finals. when people talk to me about silverware, it always looks like we have to get each little thing. if we had been in the fa cup, people would still say, but they'd have not won the premier league for 25 years. that is how it is. you cannot change what other people think and stuff like that. we have to try our best every game we play, and so far, not only this season, that is what the boys did, and that is what we will try again and again and again.

some transfer news, and bra him diaz has completed his move from manchester city to real madrid cf £15 million. the teenager said he had three options on deciding to leave city, where he only made 15 appearances. those three options we re appearances. those three options were all real madrid. totte n ha m were all real madrid. tottenham ladies defender rene hector says she received racist abuse during their game against sheffield united yesterday. hector says she heard monkey noises from an opposition player. the team say they reported it to the fa and begun an investigation. wada experts have been given access toa wada experts have been given access to a russian lab to take data that could use to the prosecution of hundreds of cheats. the original deadline of new year's eve was missed, but an anti—dumping team will now be allowed into the moscow facility on wednesday. 0ur sports editor is dan ronan. last year in september, wada decided to reinstate russia. it had a suspension lasting several years

will is a doping. there was much outcry from athletes in the western members of the anti—doping commission at the, who believe wada should have remained tough or with russia, because they have not met to outstanding criteria. the macro said we will let them back in, on the strict condition that they hand over this lab data that will enable us to pursue cases against potentially hundreds, if not thousands, of russian sheets by the end of the year. the problem was that russia failed to deliver. they did not hand over data on new year's eve, and therefore, there was another outcry from the critics, who said, this time, russia must be suspended again. what has happened now is that ten days before wada's compliance panel meets in montreal, the suggestion is that russia have now come back and said, your expert panel can come back to moscow, we have overcome the problem that prevented us giving this information before the end of the year, and we are now in a position to hand over this crucial lab data. so the president of them act has said this

could be a very important breakthrough. johanna konta has pulled out of the syd ney johanna konta has pulled out of the sydney international for the second time in two days. she went through from qualifying yesterday with a neck injury, but whilst given a lucky loser place in the main draw, she was due to play kiki bu in the first round, but has not given a reason this time, and the astray lee and open is just reason this time, and the astray lee and open isjust a week reason this time, and the astray lee and open is just a week away. ——. meanwhile, heather watson and open is just a week away. ——. meanwhile, heatherwatson lost in the first round of the hobart international. she was beaten 6—1, 6-4 international. she was beaten 6—1, 6—4 by the romanian player. sticking with women's tennis, great britain have named their top five players for february's matches in bath. johanna konta is joined players for february's matches in bath. johanna konta isjoined by heather watson, also there is kate swann, kate boulter, and debutant harriet dart. great britain will be playing in the women's team competition to the first time in 26 yea rs. that is it for now. hugh and ollie will have more at 6:30 p:m.. thank you very much. we will see

later. let's return to the main story now. the nhs in england has published a 10—year plan setting out what it will be prioritising in the future. it comes after ministers announced the budget will be increased by £20bn a year by 2023. the 136—page plan will see money shifted from hospitals to mental health and the community. there is a set of priorities here. drjennifer dixon is with me. she's the chief executive of the health foundation, a think tank specialising in health care policy. thank you forjoining us. pleasure. if you were to summarise the goals of this strategy, what are they? the goals are quite simply to keep us as healthy as possible and to try and reduce avoidable use of care, so there is a huge investment, as you said, in out—of—hospital care, primary care, community services and urgent care services, to join all these up so people are less likely

to need hospital care and the nhs can be far more proactive. so there are ideas, for example, about digital first are ideas, for example, about digitalfirst general are ideas, for example, about digital first general practice that we will all have access to invite yea rs. we will all have access to invite years. instead we will all have access to invite yea rs. instead of we will all have access to invite years. instead of having an appointment to see the gp, if we want, we can use our phones or skype to do that. their ambitious plans also to reduce outpatient appointments by one third, which is 30 million appointments a year, which is a lot. so that is the plan. it makes a lot of sense. it is with the direction of travel, a lot of consensus, and technology will help. very ambitious is the phrase you used. i will ask the blunt question, is the resource level there to back up is the resource level there to back up what is a very ambitious plan? can the nhs deliver on the basis of what it currently has, even with this extra 20 billion? that is a big question. the money is one thing, and on that, i think it isjust enough to keep the nhs taking over. it is not one really invests to the extent that there is a revolution in care, that is the shore. but the

bigger issue than money is the start. we know there are one in 11 staff positions vacant, 100,000 across the nhs, and how the nhs can find and train those staff is an open question. we have problems with brexit and possibly, if you like, a brexodus from eu staff, and that is a worry. more than money, it is the star. the other issue is that 20 billion is a lot, but there are still extra bits of funding not included in that, for example, funding public health, education and training, and funding capital investments that you really need to do if you are to change the model as the plan suggests, towards shifting ca re the plan suggests, towards shifting care outside of hospital. the plan suggests, towards shifting care outside of hospitallj the plan suggests, towards shifting care outside of hospital. i suppose lots of viewers will be listening very carefully adhering words like its things ticking over. even with your staffing challenge, it still prompts the question, surely the nhs more money, and it is a money thing,

in order to deliver the kind of revolution we're talking about in this document? it is certainly true that in the nhs, we spend less in this country than most other european nations. two thirds of the per capita spend of germany, for example, and yet we are also quite cheap in terms of administrative costs as well. so i think without a step change in productivity and efficiency, we might not get the revolution we truly want. it is a real challenge, with a bold plan is there and it is the right direction. how soon would people see, based on current resources, and you mentioned the staffing issue, which is rather uncertain at the moment, because brexit is unresolved. but how soon would people see some measurable changes in the way that they access health care? i think the plan is quite careful to faze these developments in, and the bigger developments in, and the bigger developments will happen after two yea rs. developments will happen after two years. up until then, there will be a transition phase. after that, these changes will really kick in. doctorjennifer dixon, good to talk

to you. thank you. thank you for guiding us through that in that way. most ofjennifer tojoin guiding us through that in that way. most ofjennifer to join us outside the palace of westminster. that move onto some of the day's other stories. it is 5:41 p:m.. a man has appeared in court accused of killing a man who was allegedly stabbed 9 times in front of his teenage son. lee pomeroy, who was 51 and from guildford in surrey, was travelling on a london—bound train on friday when he was stabbed. darren pencille, who faces charges of murder and possessing an offensive weapon, was remanded in custody until his next court appearance in february. 0ur correspondent angus crawford has been following events. we now know a little bit more about the events of friday. we know lee pomeroy, who was 51, was stabbed nine times in the carriage of a train heading from guildford to london. he died in front of his 14—year—old son. his family have described him as an honourable, devoted man. we also know that this morning, at staines magistrates‘ court, darren pencille, who is 35, appeared. he was wearing a grey tracksuit and spectacles, he had a small bandage on one hand.

when he came into the dock, he crouched on the floor so his head was barely visible, but we heard him say to the court, "innocent until proven guilty." he then said, "i'm paranoid, i'm hearing voices." he gives them briefly to confirm his name, his date of birth and his nationality and then he was led away. we also saw chelsea mitchell, his partner, who is 27. she appeared at staines magistrates‘ court and she was charged with aiding and abetting, assisting an offender. she was then remanded into custody. now, they have both appeared here at guildford crown court and they have both been remanded back into custody to appear probably by video link at this court on the 7th of february. angus crawford reporting from guildford. let's have a little more of the brexit process, and the government's

planning has been put to test today in kent. dozens of lorries gathered at manston airport, a designated holding area for heavy goods vehicles, if there are delays at dover. the road haulage association said the exercise was "too little, too late". 0ne haulier said it was a bit of a farce. 0ur correspondent simonjones reports from manston. 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 route, any changes to the release points, so we do have plenty of time for that. 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. simon there, with a rather interesting exercise that took place in kent earlier today. that is still in the brexit context, of course. let's stay with that, and talk about the weeks and months to come. with me are sam coates, deputy political editor at the times, and jessica elgot, political correspondent for the guardian. hgppy happy new year to you both. fancy

meeting you both here once again! earlier, we talked tojohn whittingdale, who clearly has his own view on where brexit should be, and does not like mrs may's proposed plan. but the sense of may be still looking for other options at this stage, how credible is that? yes, and there certainly seems to be quite a lot of effort from different groups across westminster to try to find different solutions. we still have this group of mps pushing the potential for a norway option, have this group of mps pushing the potentialfor a norway option, quite a broader coalition than you might expect washing for that, including a limited number of brexiteers. —— pushing for that. many believe that the thing to do is to force the government's hand towards no deal. there are a million other kinds of options, including pushing for a second referendum. it seems very late in the data, with new plans, yet here we are. 200 or so mps writing to the prime minister, sam, to say, whatever you do, we cannot go anywhere near the no deal scenario. will that have an impact?

it might do, a little bit, but only a little bit. the problem with all those people inside the house of commons who dislike no deal, and there are probably dozens, if not hundreds, who are on the payroll on the government's side who would have to resign if they express such an opinion, is that they cannot enforce it. it cannot be just for the commons alone to stop the no—deal brexit. to do so, you either have to cancel article 50 together, which some people in the cabinet are talking about extending, or suspending, but not cancelling altogether, or you have to get agreement ofan altogether, or you have to get agreement of an alternative plan and that stretches beyond the commons to the government, to downing street, to the european union, and you need to the european union, and you need to get, as it were, green light in all three places to get an alternative plan. that is where the automatic escalator takes us towards, we're heading to that on march the 29th this year, and without an alternative plan, that is

going to be what happens. did either of you get any sense that something has changed over christmas and new year? that the prime minister has urged colleagues to go back to constituencies and take soundings in the hope that, from their point of view, they might change their mind or take a different view of what she has an offer. the sense there has been any fundamental change?” offer. the sense there has been any fundamental change? i don't, and thatis fundamental change? i don't, and that is something downing street certainly hoped would happen over christmas, that people would get away from this hothouse. they particularly thought it would be a goodidea particularly thought it would be a good idea for them to get away from each other, so they would not engage the run. as she announced before christmas, they were stepping up this no deal planning and thinking about the impact that might have on their constituents when they get out there. i have not detected that that has worked at all,, so we will have to find out what the next plan has, and that is yet to be seen. sam? apart from waistlines, not a great deal. theresa may is going to try to buy off critics with wine

parties today, but the issue is, so many of them have lysed in unequivocal terms not to do it. there are digital campaigns with videos of tory mps saying, we will never, ever back to deal, and those would run over and over again if those mps changed their minds. the dup had made it a point of constitutional principle that they cannot back down. promising another bridge, another road, oranother school will not get that over the line either, and the kind of fundamental changes she would need to change the minds of tory mps in large numbers doesn't seem to be on offer from europe either, before or after a meaningful vote. so nothing has changed. so where does that leave us? if we assume the vote goes ahead a week tomorrow and that it will not go the parameters to's way, what happens? i think it is probably feasible they will come up with something, probably not something thatis something, probably not something that is enough, but something to present from brussels before the vote next week. if they can't, i can't necessarily see them holding it. it is still really unclear whether that will be enough. i spoke to european official just whether that will be enough. i spoke to european officialjust before christmas to set, the point is, what

we need to know, the thing we will offer is that will deliver, particularly the dup, because they bring a lot of tory mps with them if they are satisfied. but if that thing is removing the backstop from the withdrawal agreement, we are in no deal territory. if another thing, maybe we can talk about it. britain needs to tell us what that thing is that would do the trick. we're not going to offer something that would not do the trick. word a she does not do the trick. word a she does not do the trick. word a she does not do this? in the first instance, she goes back and back until she gets her deal. the biggest thing that happened last week was that a poll came out showing that six out of ten tory members are relaxed about no deal. that will change behaviour in the cabinet, to make members of the cabinet to have an eye on the leadership and have to seek the approval of this same group, to be comfortable with no deal. there is also a fatigue of no deal. there is also a fatigue of no deal stories. the stuff we're writing about in the paper is completely legitimate reporting, but everyone sees it through a prism of

trying to do project fear two, and thatis trying to do project fear two, and that is the rub the government have got themselves into. they are entrenched, and she did end up trying and promising a break around the corner, and soon, we find a date is march 29, and we are out without a deal. the debate started wednesday, and... never stopped! we will talk to you again later in the week. thank you for joining again later in the week. thank you forjoining us. let's move on. the time is nine minutes to six. border force officials have picked up a group of migrants, who are thought to have crossed the channel in a dinghy overnight and landed on a beach at dungeness in kent. they were spotted walking along a nearby road. duncan kennedy has this report. the young men looked cold and disorientated as they were picked up at the side of a road in kent this afternoon. we came across them as border force officials took them in. i managed to ask one simple question. are you 0k? just keeping them wind warm. they had walked miles and expressed their exhaustion... how are you feeling?

..through their eyes. they were medically checked and taken away by immigration officials, all watched by astonished local people. it's happening, isn't it? it's not stopping. so... yes, very scary. it was this tiny dinghy that brought the eight men across the english channel this morning. and this adapted plastic container, their only way to bail out water. what today's landings also represent is the restart of these journeys. there haven't been any for the past week. this landing comes five days after the home secretary sajid javid visited dover, saying warships are being brought in to stop migrants crossing. we spent several hours in the channel over the weekend to see if those new measures were in place. 0ur skipper did find some suspected sightings of migrants. matt, what have we got here?

well, at the moment, it seems that the border force vote is heading towards dungeness and also her hms mersey, so it looks like there could be something going on around that area or maybe even on the beach. but this turned out to be a false sighting. it wasn't until this morning's landing that it became clear eight more had got through, with a ninth man, not seen here, arrested on suspicion of helping the men get into britain. several british stars have been celebrating after a triumphant night at the golden globes, the traditional opener of the hollywood awards season. 0livia colman, christian bale, richard madden and ben whishaw were all big winners. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. set in the 18th century, the favourite features a standout performance from 0livia colman as an eccentric queen anne. did you just look at me? did you?

look at me! how dare you?! close your eyes! the actress, who is now being seriously 0scar—tipped, led a night of british success, with her best actress in a musical or comedy award. on stage, she was keen to share her winning experience with her family. so i will keep on enjoying this because this is amazing. look at you, beautiful people. thank you so much. and i'm going now, and ed, and the kids, look! yay! i want you to be my vp. you're the solution to my problem... no, i'm ceo of a large company... best actor in a musical or comedy went to christian bale for his extraordinary transformation into dick cheney, george w bush's vice president in the film vice. what a bunch of lucky huggers we are to make a life out of doing something that we love. thank you to satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role.

hollywood's celebration of the british rock group queen in bohemian rhapsody took home two awards, best drama film and best actorfor rami malek, who plays frontman freddie mercury. ma'am, this is ps budd, the new ppo. pleasure to meet you, ma'am. there was british success in the tv categories too — richard madden won a best actor award for 2018's most watched drama, bodyguard. most importantly, my friends and my family, and mum and dad who flew all the way from scotland — wouldn't be here without you. thank you very much. some of those are personal, and a bit cheeky, if you don't mind me saying. playing opposite hugh grant, ben whishaw was named best supporting actor in a limited series for playing norman scott in the critically acclaimed a very english scandal, about the scandal surrounding politician jeremy thorpe. there's one person i really, really want to dedicate this award to,

and it is the man i had the privilege to portray in the show, norman scott. the hotly—tipped a star is born only won best song for shallow, co—written by british music star mark ronson, but many still expect it to be the one to beat when the bafta and oscar nominations are unveiled later this month. some of the big winners of the golden globe is there. we can go over to the house of commons now where the health secretary matt hancock is making a statement to mp5. labour are now challenging on their side. that statement is going on for some time, and will be on bbc parliament for you if you want to follow that. the news at six is

coming up. i will be back at ten. time for a look at the weather, with susan powell. good evening once again. we saw a bit of brightness developing across the northern uk today. hopefully, there will be more sunshine tomorrow. there were also some very strong winds to the north, producing very choppy seas around the northern isles will stop here is a picture from walkley just a few isles will stop here is a picture from walkleyjust a few hours ago. the reason for our change in the weather and the strong winds at the moment, this area of low pressure, the centre now pulling off into the north sea. the winds will ease a little overnight. the clearer skies coming into the north behind a cold front. still a windy story in the near future for the north of scotland, costs up to 75 mph, certainly strong enough to cause some disruption. let's start the sequence running now, through the evening and into the small hours of tuesday. the locals out of the east, the winds swinging around becoming more northerly. largely dry night, the few showers in scotland, the odd

one dripping into the north sea coast. it turns much chillier overnight behind the cold front with clearing skies, but the wind is strong enough that we should be frost free first thing on tuesday. most of us get a much brighter day, with some decent sunny spells. some showers come in on the win to the north of scotland, and a few push their way in along the north sea coast. we will perhaps see some showers turning quite wintry across the likes of the cairngorms. another windy day for scotland, but not as windy day for scotland, but not as windy as today, but particularly down the north sea coast. there could be the odd wintry showers across the north york. the strength of the wind, along with high tides we re of the wind, along with high tides were lincolnshire, could meet and coastal flooding. were lincolnshire, could meet and coastalflooding. through were lincolnshire, could meet and coastal flooding. through tuesday evening, not much changes. the skies will be clearer and the wind is lighter than tonight. through tuesday night and first thing wednesday, pretty widespread frost, which we have not seen much of recently. warmer air waiting to the west, behind this from trying to get in at the end of the week, but for

wednesday, we are sitting in the icy arctic chill, the blue colour you see behind me, and with a nagging northerly wind, that will only serve to emphasise the change in our weather after the pretty mild conditions through the weekend. here is wednesday, on the face of it, not a bad looking day. high cloud in the east, for most of us, so long sunny spells, but a case of wrapping up to get out and about, as it will feel pretty raw. long—term plan for the nhs in england which the government claims will save hundreds of thousands of lives. the prime minister announces a new focus on prevention of disease and early detection. there will also be greater emphasis on treating patients outside hospital, with more doctors running community clinics. of waiting in the hospital for the appointment, the consultant came to us. but critics claim that without more staff and more money, the nhs will still struggle to meet demand. also tonight:

the man charged with stabbing a passenger on a train in front of his teenage son appears in court. the hollywood actor kevin spacey appears in court charged with sexually assaulting an 18—year—old male in a bar. an eighteen year old saudi woman seeks protection from the un in thailand claiming herfamily will kill her if she returns.
