this is bbc news. i'm clive myrie. the headlines at 11pm: the prime minister has a new, long term strategy for the nhs in england, to save hundreds of thousands of lives in the coming decade. this is an historic moment. our vision is clear, our commitment is assured, so let's deliver the nhs and the future. —— of the. theresa may has been hosting drinks events at number 10, hoping to persuade mps to back her brexit plans. the commons will now vote on her proposals next tuesday. a man accused of stabbing a passenger to death on a train in surrey, in front of his teenage son, has appeared in court charged with murder. also coming up — the american actor kevin spacey has appeared in a court in massachusetts. the two time oscar winner is facing allegations that he sexually assaulted a teenager at a bar, on the island of nantucket in 2016. and the premier league leaders, liverpool, have been

knocked out of the fa cup by wolverhampton wanderers. and at 11:30pm, we'll be taking another in—depth look at the papers. our guests will be the political strategist jo tanner and the associate editor of the new statesman, george eaton. good evening. as mps returned to westminter after the christmas break, the prime minister unveiled a new, long—term strategy for the nhs in england, with the focus on prevention and early detection of disease, and a shift in resources from hospital—based care to community facilities and mental health services. ministers have announced a budget increase of £20 billion a year by 2023. but critics say the strategy has unrealistic goals based

on the resources available, as our health editor hugh pym reports. this could be the nhs and the future. alex has a digestion problem. his mother is worried it could be something more serious but you can see a consultant visiting the local gp surgery so she does not have to go to hospital clinics of possibly long journeys. it was time—consuming and it was very fast arrangement, that we had to wait in the hospital. instead, they are coming to us. we have really built this model around our dissatisfaction with outpatients, the frustration that patients were having to wait a long time and although the episode of care they got, i hope was good, it was done in a very disjointed way. this initiative is part of the new nhs plan for england. the aim is to reduce the number of daytime hospital appointments by up to a third, with more people monitored from home or close to it.

that could save people trips to hospital, 30 million a year of them. it would also save the nhs £1 billion a year, which could be spent on other things. a new focus on treating people in local communities is a central aim of the new plan, launched today in liverpool, caring for more patients, who are living longer. how do we keep everything that is so great about our national health service, but how do we relieve the pressure on ourfront line staff, going the extra mile day in, day out for i million patients a day? the plan also has pledges to detect cancer sooner and help vulnerable patients avoid strokes and heart attacks. half a million lives, we're told, could be saved in the next decade. with nhs england missing the key for our target, the patients waiting to be treated or assessed in a&e, bosses now want to change it. they say a different target is needed for serious a&e cases and minor injuries. won't you be accused of trying

to change the target because you're missing it? we're going to listen to what the most senior doctors in the national health service say. if they tell us that the most important thing is, as well as keeping waits short for everybody, that we set faster and tougher standards for the big emergency conditions, then that is advice we should pay careful attention to. so will the plan work? some health experts welcomed the ambition, but question the delivery. this long—term plan is full of good, ambitious ideas that will improve care for patients. the challenge is, how is this going to happen when the nhs is under a lot of pressure already and we're already short of staff? and it's that shortage of doctors and nurses which critics say is the underlying problem and mean the nhs‘s everyday stresses will be hard to relieve. the house of commons will vote on the prime minister's brexit deal a week tomorrow. the vote was cancelled last month, but ministers say it won't be delayed again. more than 200 mps have signed a letter to mrs may urging her to rule out leaving the european union

without a formal deal. this report from our political editor laura kuenssberg contains some flash photography. chanting: go away, theresa may! nothing's getting any easier for the prime minister. her welcoming committee in liverpool. when do we want it? now. i think it's disgraceful that party's put before country, absolutely disgraceful. i'm appalled by it, yes. because? because i think we are european and we should stay in europe. parliament can't agree. i think the only thing is to put it back to the people. she swept in with promises about the nhs, paid for in part, she claims, by what's her bigger problem, her brexit deal. this commitment is possible because of our strong public finances and because, as we leave the eu and take back control of our money, we will no longer be sending vast, annual sums to brussels. number crunchers and plenty

on her own side question that. before christmas, you realised your plan did not have the support to get through parliament. what evidence can you give us today that anything has really changed? yes, we did delay the vote before christmas and we're continuing to work on further assurances, on further undertakings from the european union in relation to the concern that's been expressed by parliamentarians. but theresa may's bedside manner is not convincing dozens of mps on her own side and among her northern ireland allies. they won't back her plan without big changes for next week's vote. it may be 2019, but theresa may is still tangled in the boundaries and barriers of the referendum, when people and politicians were divided into two camps, jutting up against each other. in the walton constituency here in liverpool, voters wanted to leave the european union. but just over the road in liverpool wavertree, the decision was to stay. and the prime minister is having

to deal with that clash of arguments, trying to get a compromise in the middle. but politicians on all sides are so dug in, there's little sign that enough of them are willing to meet her there. nobody can detect anything new that's coming out now. if she's planning on pulling a rabbit out of the hat, the prime minister, good luck to her. let's just hope it's not a dead rabbit, and that it's actually a live and kicking rabbit and it means something. order. jeremy corbyn objects to the deal and to theresa may's no—show when she was called to the commons. the prime minister should be here updating mps on what progress she has achieved, if any. instead, she's continuing her approach as before christmas, of ducking scrutiny and dodging accountability. we will hold this government to account for their incompetence. and in number 10's own ranks, some tory mps are pushing number 10 to guarantee we won't leave without a deal. some are demanding a different arrangement altogether, some others another referendum.

with so many divisions and a vote next week, it will take more than a few drinks in downing street to cobble together a majority, let alone bring the tory party, and then parliament and the rest of us together. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. 0ur europe editor katya adler is in brussels and sent us this update. from the point of view of eu leaders, the brexit divorce deal was rather painfully negotiated with theresa may over so many months, it has not even been voted on yet in parliament, so they are not minded to for anything else at all, if that vote on the deal takes place next week. if the deal is voted down, according to many of my colleagues across europe, they see the divisions in westminster is very much a divisions in westminster is very mucha uk divisions in westminster is very much a uk domestic album. theresa

may says that the uk is leaving the eu, the single market and the customs union, said the eu says u nless customs union, said the eu says unless that changes, and this deal is the divorce deal. what we contribute is that this new year, brexit is not the only story in town in the rest of europe. we have european parliamentary elections coming up in may with the far right and populist looking very strong. all the top eu jobs up for grabs this year in brussels, and there is vladimir putin, donald trump in the white house and china, and eu wants the scene strong and determined in the scene strong and determined in the face of all those challenges. —— wants to seem. part of the government's planning for a possible no—deal brexit was on display today in kent. dozens of lorries took part in an exercise to measure the impact of extra congestion around the port of dover, if britain leaves the eu without an agreement. a convoy of lorries made the 20 mile trip between dover and the disused manston airport, which could be used as a giant lorry park. but haulage groups dismissed the exercise as "too little too late", as our transport

correspondent tom burridge reports. more than 80 trucks parked on a runway. a government—led no—deal brexit drill, in case we exit the european union injust 12 weeks without a deal. manston airfield, near britain's biggest port, will become a holding area for trucks, if there are suddenly new checks on goods and long queues at the border. they're now despatching the lorries in a controlled fashion, trying to work out how the roads en route to dover will cope. truck drivers involved set off early. some believe no deal really is on the cards. on march 29th, i think it's going to be a bit of a fiasco. there won't be much getting out of the country and a lot coming in. i think the motorways will be absolute chaos. learning how to mitigate chaos on kent's roads in the approach towards dover was the aim of today's exercise, but it was small—scale — more than 80 lorries involved, when 10,000 pass through the port each day. it's good to have a contingency

and it's good to pressure test it, but today was done with far too few vehicles and it was done too close to brexit. this should have been done a year ago. the government says it has to plan for all eventualities. it ran today's test with the local council. do you accept that today's test cannot replicate the brexit scenario? of course it cannot replicated but we just have to make sure we know what impact it would have on the local network. are you worried about an ideal? as a resident of kent, i am worried, you. today, the roads were clear. —— yes. 0n the face of it, today's exercise has gone pretty smoothly, but how much has the government really learnt from ushering 80 lorries down a few roads? this is also about the government sending a warning — it's the prime minister's deal, or no deal is a real option. the government's no deal planning

for traffic flow around dover has a budget of £35 million but if things go on toa budget of £35 million but if things go on to a halt, the cost would be much higher. —— ground to a halt. conservative mp anna soubry has criticised police for not intervening after she was verbally abused by pro—brexit protestors outside parliament earlier. the ex—minister was accused "of being a nazi" while being interviewed on bbc news, and has called for the protesters to be prosecuted under public order laws. the police said they were assessing if any crimes had been committed, while commons speakerjohn bercow said he was worried about a "pattern" of women mps and journalists being targeted. at least 55 mps have signed a letter to the metropolitan police commissioner cressida dick raising concerns about safety outside parliament. police are to be handed extra powers to deal with drones after the disruption caused at gatwick airport in the runup to christmas, when 1000 flights were cancelled. police will be allowed to land and seize drones and issue on the spot fines.

anyone operating a drone weighing over 250 grams will have to register it and take a competency test. transport secretary chris grayling outlined the plans in the commons. of course, aviation and passenger safety is at the heart of everything we do and while airlines and airports welcomed our recent airport drone restriction measures, they also ask for the current airport measures to be restricted to protect the landing and takeoff of aircraft. we have been working to develop the optimum exclusion zone that will help pilots. it is important to emphasise that any restriction zone would not have prevented a deliberate incidents such as that at gatwick. we will therefore introduce

it protections and airports, with a focus on the runway ends, alongside increasing the current foreign restrictions and airports. drone pilots wishing fire within these zones must only do so with permission from the aerodrome traffic control. a man accused of stabbing to death a passenger on a train in surrey has appeared in court charged with murder. lee pomeroy, who was 51, was travelling with his teenage son when the attack happened. darren pencille, who's 35, made two separate court appearances, charged with murder and possessing an offensive weapon. his partner was charged with assisting an offender, as our correspondent angus crawford reports. lee pomeroy, who was 51, described as a devoted family man, stabbed nine times on a train travelling from guilford to london. he died in front of his 14—year—old son. this morning, darren pencille, who is 35 and from farnham in surrey, appeared at staines magistrates court charged with murder and possessing an offensive weapon. wearing a grey tracksuit, black glasses and with a small

bandage on one hand, mr pencille crouched down in the dock so his head was barely visible. he said to the court, "innocent until proven guilty." he also said he was paranoid and hearing voices. he did stand briefly to confirm his name, his date of birth and nationality before being led away. also in court his partner, 26—year—old chelsea mitchell. she denies one charge of assisting an offender. it is alleged she helped him to leave the scene and change his appearance. both were brought to guilford this afternoon and in a second hearing were remanded into custody to appear in court again early next month. angus crawford, bbc news, guilford. the headlines on bbc news: 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.

theresa may has been hosting drinks events at number ten, hoping to persuade mps to back her brexit plans. the commons will now vote on her proposals next tuesday. a man accused of stabbing a passenger to death on a train in surrey in front of his teenage son has appeared in court charged with murder. the us actor, kevin spacey, has appeared in court in massachusetts, charged with sexually assaulting an 18—year—old man in a bar. the incident is alleged to have happened in 2016. the 0scar—winner and star of house of cards said nothing in court and was granted bail. 0ur north america correspondent nick bryant reports from nantucket. this was a journey kevin spacey didn't want to make. touching down on this jet—set island before completing a televised drive to his first appearance in court. clear the sidewalk, please.

his legal team argued he shouldn't have to appear in person because of the negative publicity that's already surrounded this case. but the actor who has spent so much of his life in front of the cameras found it impossible today to avoid them. there was even a live stream from the courtroom to record the charge levelled against him. this complaint charges that, in the town of nantucket onjuly the 8th, 2016, did commit indecent assault and battery on a person 1a or over. the oscar—winning actor shared a joke with his lawyer but did not address the court. he has pleaded not guilty and agreed not to approach his accuser. stay away and no contact with the victim and the victim's family. thank you. nantucket is the playground of america's elite. in the summer of 2016, kevin spacey is alleged to have sexually assaulted an 18—year—old waiter. during a late night drinking session in this bar, he is accused of unzipping the man's trousers and groping his groin for about three minutes — an encounter that he claims was consensual. i will never cease...

the actor was fired from the hit drama house of cards because of multiple sexual assault allegations against him. and you trusted me even though you knew you shouldn't. but bizarrely, he revived his character, president frank underwood, in a video posted online shortly after he was charged. you and i both know it's never that simple, not in politics and not in life. but you wouldn't believe the worst without evidence, would you? you wouldn't rush to judgments without facts, would you? 0utside court, he confronted another wall of lenses. what are your feelings today, mr spacey? but chose not to answer our questions. mr spacey... mr spacey? kevin spacey has already been dondemned in the court of global opinion, but now a legal process is under way. he flew out minutes afterwards on a private jet but a trial now is in the offing, where the public

scrutiny will be intense. nick bryant, bbc news, nantucket. a tottenham ladies footballer has claimed she was racially abused by an opposition player in yesterday's game against sheffield united ladies. renee hector says she heard monkey chants during the match, and reported the matter to the referee. sheffield united and the fa are investigating her claims. an 18—year—old saudi woman who spent two days barricaded in a hotel room in thailand to avoid being sent back to her family has avoided being deported for the time being. rahaf mohammed al-qunun said she wanted to seek asylum in australia and feared she'd be killed in saudi arabia. from bangkok, our correspodnent jonathan head sent this report. i'm still in the room. i have no choice. emerging from her hotel sanctuary, 18—year—old rahaf mohammed alqunun —

now safe with thai and un officials, after a drama followed by millions on social media. iam not i am not leaving the room until i see unhcr. she renounced islam, she said, which in saudi arabia is punishable by death. thai official said it was a family matter and they would deport her. yet the extraordinary blaze of publicity over her case forced a change of heart. the immigration chief came to her hotel, now telling me she would not be made to go back. "i'm using my authority to let her enter thailand," said general surachate hakparn, "and hand her over to united nations supervision." that's unusual in thailand. a senior un official was quickly dispatched to the airport and given promises about her safety. i am confident in the reassurances provided by the commissioner for immigration and other thai government officials. you're confident she won't be

suddenly sent back? well, that... we have received assurances and guarantees that that will not happen. well, throughout today, this hotel has been the scene of extraordinary comings and goings, with officials going in and out, trying to persuade the young saudi woman to come out of her room. at one point, we thought she'd be deported. now we know that thailand has given her an entry permit, the un is involved, and her request for asylum, they say, will be properly assessed. it might have been a very different ending. another saudi woman — deported from the philippines in similar circumstances — has not been seen since. ra haf‘s rahaf‘s case ra haf‘s case is rahaf‘s case is symbolic of many women who are trapped in abusive situations. they cannot travel abroad, maintaina

situations. they cannot travel abroad, maintain a passport, without the consent of a male guardian. this young woman has certainly been lucky, although her ultimate fate is still unclear. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. eight migrants who travelled across the channel in an inflatable dinghy have been picked up in kent by border officials. a search began after the empty vessel was found on the beach at dungeness early this morning. they're the latest group to have made the perilous journey across the channel. the government has promised to step up patrols. duncan kennedy reports. 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, 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... yeah, 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 boat is heading towards dungeness and also hms mersey, so it looks like there could be something going on around that area or maybe even on the beach. but this was a false sighting. unlike the eight who did make it today, the ninth man, not seen here, arrested on suspicion of helping them. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in kent. it was a remarkably good night in hollywood for british stars, winning no fewer than six awards at the golden globes — the first big awards event of the season. 0livia colman was awarded best actress in a comedy for her role as queen anne in the favourite, and richard madden of the bbc series bodyguard won best actor in a drama. and, as our arts editor will gompertz reports, this year is notable for films based on historical events. and with that kiss, lady gaga signals the awards season opened. it is the golden globes celebrating an

increasingly diverse movie season in the eyes of host sandra ho. this moment is real. trust me it is real. because i see you, and i see you. all of these faces of change, and 110w all of these faces of change, and now so will everyone else. and so we did. rami malek, an american actor with egyptian parents, one that best actor for with egyptian parents, one that best actorfor his with egyptian parents, one that best actor for his betrayal of freddie mercury in bohemian rhapsody. i have never had fried chicken in my life. you have a very narrow assessment of me, tony. yeah right? lam good. green book led to a best supporting actor win. the best director went in an all—male category. statistics last week showed that female directors have dropped

from 11% to 8%, surprised people in the wake of time's up. it shows what is happening in the industry and it should be a wake—up call. there was reason to celebrate for one woman, british actress 0livia colman. i promise, iwill i promise, i will keep on enjoying this, because this is amazing. look at you beautiful people, thank you so much. i am going now. ed and the kids, look. yay! she won best actress for playing queen anne in the favourite. you look like a badger. 0h. what have we learned from the golden globes this year? hollywood does appear to be becoming more inclusive unless of course you happen to be a female director. it feels less political with no major anti—trump rants or red carpet protests. in recent years they have gone to fantasies but this year it feels much more about nonfiction, true stories from queen to queen anne.

and on to ex—vice president dick cheney, played by a mischievous christian bale. thank you to satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role. it was a good night for british talent, which enjoyed television success. and we'll be taking another in—depth look at the papers, our guests joining me tonight, the political strategist jo tanner, and the associate editor of the new statesman, george eaton, that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30pm. yes, we got it right. it took me three goes, though, which is out of order. they are standing byjust to my left. now it's time for the weather with chris fawkes. hello. you might have noticed that the weather hasn't really changed much recently. there is a good reason for that. if i take you to christmas day, as you were eating

second portion is christmas day sprouts, this happened, high pressure developed on christmas day to the south of the uk. if i move the charts are forward two weeks to tuesday's charts, the same area of high pressure has gone from the south—east to the south—west, but it is still exert it a big influence on the weather. 0nce is still exert it a big influence on the weather. once this area of high pressure “— the weather. once this area of high pressure —— why has it not moved? down to the jet stream pattern. when we have the amplitudes, the massive ridgers and troughs, they don't move from west to east so you are stuck with the same kind of whether —— ridges. this area of high pressure has been around for a couple of weeks and has a couple of days of influence as well —— weather. 0n monday we had strong winds in scotland, up to 76 mph, that is now in denmark. north—westerly wind in the forecast. a bright day with sunshine. feeling cooler with highs between seven and ten. showers for northern scotland, and a few longer

north sea english coast as well. the risk of localised coastal flooding as well with the high spring tides and the rough seas. the winds calmed down through tuesday night. that will allow clearing skies and a frost to develop across parts of scotland, northern england, perhaps the midlands and wales, with cold airto start the midlands and wales, with cold air to start the day as we get into the forecast into wednesday. a bright enough start to the day but we have more in the way of medium and high cloud working across eastern counties of england, so perhaps bright rather than sunny conditions. there will be some sunny spells, but after the call start to the day, temperatures are slow to rise. highs for most between five and seven degrees. another subtle change into thursday. high pressure is still there. notice we have the warm from pushing southwards and eastwards. here it is, this band of cloud pushing down across england and wales. after a cold start of the morning, temperatures are slow to rise for england and wales, so it

will be a cool day. some of the cloud could be quite low, mist patches and quite drizzly with mild weather pushing into scotland and northern ireland. we will see temperatures here in double figures. for friday it is another quiet day. high pressure is still to the west of ireland. a lot of cloud around. we have the temperatures coming up a few degrees, ranging from eight to maybe a 11 in belfast. the cloud is thick enough for a few spots of rain in the north—west. the weekend is quiet as well. high pressure, there is, to the west of the uk. still a lot of dry weather, but increasingly thick cloud in scotland brings the threat of rain. still on the mild side with temperatures between nine and 11 degrees. when will we see a change in the weather? it will be next week. the jet stream is change in the weather? it will be next week. thejet stream is nowhere near as amplified as it was on the first
