were stung by bluebottles on queensland's gold and sunshine coasts over the weekend as weather drove a wall ofjellyfish onto the shore. vast numbers of the sea creatures forced the closure of swimming spots with many people treated for painful stings but are typically not life—threatening. and final also in the times, the power of positive thinking has apparently been backed up by science. the more meaningful you believe your life to be, the faster you will walk, the stronger your grip will be and the less chronic pain you will suffer, a study says. that's according to researchers from university college london with me is priya lakhani who's founder and ceo of century tech — a uk based education technology platform. la bs labs get stuck in. beginning with brexit. is that we are not talking about it, sorry, we are. the front

page of the telegraph. i think it is pa rt page of the telegraph. i think it is part of my life or read an hour. you can not avoid it. now they are putting out the feelers to paul's article 50. this is all about the legality, isn't it? it can be done, right? it can be. but it is worth pointing out we now know that if we wa nted pointing out we now know that if we wanted to revoke article 50 we could do that unilaterally. that if we we re do that unilaterally. that if we were to pause and delay for a few months then all 27 eu nations have two unanimously vote for that to go forward. i think... two unanimously vote for that to go forward. ithink... this two unanimously vote for that to go forward. i think... this is common sense, isn't it? we don't have a deal, we do not know what is going on. literally we are weeks away from march 29 and so putting out feelers sounds like something that is sensible to do. it doesn't mean it will happen. it just sensible to do. it doesn't mean it will happen. itjust means they are covering their bases.” will happen. itjust means they are covering their bases. i think those they are doing. theresa may has insisted she is going ahead in terms ofa

insisted she is going ahead in terms of a vote of parliament and she insists... but she has done that many times before in changed her mind, but we will see what happens. if she finds that she does not have enough votes in parliament as she did not before christmas, then you never know. to put these feelers out and they might want to act on them. yesterday she was meeting with mps, some from her own party and some from across—the—board. some from her own party and some from across—the—boa rd. she some from her own party and some from across—the—board. she is doing everything she possibly can to win mps over so they will approve that plan in parliament next week. the difficulty is that for the minister supporting a second vote, it is difficult for them, what they do not wa nt to difficult for them, what they do not want to do is give into anything thatis want to do is give into anything that is alternative. you want to push this right to the end, right until there is no deal. she says that no deal is better than a bad deal but now her deal is better than no deal. they want to push it right to the end because the only way the second referendum might happen is

for that to occur. it is difficult for that to occur. it is difficult for her but it is all... it is absolutely a possibility but what can we achieve in a few months? it isa can we achieve in a few months? it is a few months of uncertainty for everybody did some may argue it is a few more months that a critical.m can waita few more months that a critical.m can wait a few more months if it means we get a better deal. to that make sense? yes. wait a few months forjeremy corbyn to say what he actually wants to do. today we are waiting, that is for certain. lets look at the time is. papers have this. social media, lots of analysis. the planned to the nhs in england for the next ten years. ahead promising lots of things. we do need a plan. there is a long-term plan, finally. this is about a digitally enabled upgrade, had that is about to go mainstream. this is about the

technology savvy person behind it andi technology savvy person behind it and i can see him all over this plan. what they are trying to do is save the waiting time for primary care. they are trying to decrease struggling for patients, trying to connect access. so the idea is that millions of patients will be of use skype for a similar service to speak to or e—mail bgp and that will save a p pa re ntly to or e—mail bgp and that will save apparently 30 million hospital visits a year and one in three outpatient appointments. it is a huge thing and technology has transformed everything in life. they are looking in what context it can transform and held the nhs. that is definitely the vision. the question is, always, the implementation. because the nhs, as we know, has evolved over seven decades and when it comes to the technology it is really collocated and some of it is extremely old. and when that... when

that word infiltrated the nhs 3a yea rs that word infiltrated the nhs 3a years ago and it was able to move from one trust to another, from one gp to the next because the security walls were not bad. and you warrant that the security and privacy, all sorts of issues. i read the 133 page document last night and chapter five is all about digital. they have mentioned cyber security. it is a risk and i think we need to be careful that technology can not overpromise. technology can do everything. we need to support staff and the main thing is to support the doctors and nurses. and the patient‘s. and who will provide the technology? i also worry about that. who gets these contracts? well, one health tech company that will be providing these services say that there is an issue as to who will do it. the devil is in the detail. now,

many viewers have latched onto this, millions of patients to see a doctor by skype, and that raises issues. for many who avoid doctors at all costs, sometimes getting them to the doctor is so important. face—to—face human interaction. that raises a lot of issues. we have many people. keith says that skype appointments are allowed doctors to tree arch appointments saving hospital time and emergency room space. they say it can improve services and special forum and villages. most viewers say they are for this idea. it will save time, be more efficient, stop the spread of germs. i am surprised that people are not getting in touch saying what about the issue of loneliness and needing that human co nta ct? loneliness and needing that human contact? sometimes it you go into a surgery contact? sometimes it you go into a surgery with a cold but the doctor realises something else is happening. i think what they will try to do is to start the service. and i think doctors... it won't be

that you can't visit a doctor personally. 0ne that you can't visit a doctor personally. one issue we must raise is the elderly. i don't say that they don't know how to use tac but they're well be a theft she was then that will struggle. but it is optional. does not replace face—to—face but you can replace. optional. does not replace face-to-face but you can replace. i, having been a mother as are you, my first baby, going in to see the doctor or the midwife or whatever, it was so important. it can be so isolating as a young mother. that i had to mr will pictures of my sons prove to my doctor. do i really need to go in and do that face—to—face? we move on and there is a lot of time left. the head of am a song, smiling all the way to the bank. you

would wonder why amazon would not do well. you understand apple, you understand microsoft but amazon? they have transformed from online sales or the way to making their own technology and now there are a web $793 billion. trillion dollar valuations last year? but we don't know if they are going to be that from much longer butjeff suddenly has a lot to smile about. what a fantastic picture. one day i will interview him. time to finish. my husband has been stung by a jellyfish. he grew up near the beach. he peed on it to make the sting go away. my husband, it happened to him as a teenager. he said that he is mother arrived to help with the rescue but his friend peed on him and it worked. and now we know. it is out there. this is

huge. injust over one month we know. it is out there. this is huge. in just over one month 22,280 people have been stung. it is serious because some of these suffer anaphylactic shock and saying that they have had deal with this because of this well. there has been an unusually strong north—east police well. i think it is the first. talking about jellyfish. we well. i think it is the first. talking aboutjellyfish. we are running out of time and we cannot reach the last story. ballot tweet about it so viewers can read it. thank you so much for your time. thank you so much for your time. thank you so much for your time. thank you was of your comments. you would like tojoin in on the conversation, bonus online. ——join us on conversation, bonus online. ——join us on the line. hello there.

northern parts of the uk had a particularly blustery monday. winds gusts in excess of 70 miles per hourfor some. courtesy of this swirl of cloud and area of low pressure. generally and area of low pressure. speaking, we are looking at generally speaking, we are looking ata generally speaking, we are looking at a lot of dry weather. some spells of sunshine, large areas of cloud floating around as well. breezy wherever you while but if you are spending your day close to the east coast of scotland you can expect wind gust of 40—115 mile row, a couple of showers drifting through it will be down this clothes, wind gusts are the same but possibly close to 50 mph for some spots around the east anglian coast. around the east anglian coastline.

and combine those strong winds with high tides, well, there is the risk of some coastal flooding. temperatures between six and nine degrees, but when you factor in the strength of the wind, it will probably feel a bit colder than that. it stays pretty breezy in eastern areas as we go through tuesday night. still the potential for one or two showers here. 0ut west, where the wind is lighter and the sky is clear, parts of western scotland, northern england, maybe down into the midlands, we could see a touch of frost, but i think many places will start wednesday morning just above freezing. so, during wednesday it will still be breezy, not quite as windy as it will have been on tuesday, and that wind still feeding some showers in across some eastern parts of england. we also see cloud thickening for northern ireland and western scotland, a bit of patchy rain here late in the day. in between, some spells of sunshine, those temperatures struggling a little bit — five to seven or eight degrees. but it is set to turn milder as we head towards the end

of the week. high pressure builds its way back in, and we start to bring the winds back in from the atlantic. so it is, from the north—west, going to turn a little bit milder. holding onto some chilly air across the south—east on thursday. some places could start off with a touch of frost but i think that is where we will see some of the best of the sunshine through the day. also, north—east england, eastern scotland will see in some sunshine. generally a lot of cloud, maybe the odd spot of drizzle, but up towards the north—west, things start to turn milder. and through friday into the weekend, all of us will get into that milder air. there will always be a lot of cloud and perhaps some rain at times, especially in the north. good morning. welcome to breakfast,
