the australian open. good evening, welcome to the bbc news at six. in the last few minutes it has been confirmed that the duke of edinburgh has been involved in an car accident near the sandringham estate in norfolk this afternoon. prince philip, who is 97, is not injured according to buckingham palace. our royal correspondent nick witchell is with me now. tell us what we know. the first thing to say is that buckingham palace are emphatic that the duke has not been injured. he - at

seen by a doctor. the queen is at sandringham and there are no reports of any further injuries and no further— difficulties ——7 of any further injuries and no further— difficulties as —7 of any further injuries and no further— difficulties as 7 of 77 by all accounts, if the vehicle, over as a duke, rasa of. duke, five a of. duke, five a ofé duke, five a of his the duke, five months short of his birthday. be the duke, five months short of his birthday. was be the duke, five months short of his birthday. . was g onto )e the duke, five months short of his birthday. . was g onto a as 2:1" it. eyewitnessaaf'affiffm" it. eyewitness g the = it. eyewitness g the bbc t. and eyewitness called the bbc shortly after the accident and they say they saw the duke looking very shaken but he got into another vehicle. he is regularly seen around sandringham driving around. he is, andi sandringham driving around. he is, and i suspect it would be quite a battle to persuade him to give up driving. he drives at windsor and sandringham and has been photographed driving horse drawn carriages, one of his passions.

although we have not seen him in public, he didn't attend church on christmas day, the last time we really saw him in public was that eugenie's wedding three months ago. you will recall that although he had a hip replacement operation in april of last year, his health, for someone who is five months short of a 98th birthday, is remarkably robust and continues to be robust. he retired from active solo engagements in august of 2017, so he has been in semi retirement now for about 18 months. we are seeing pictures of the range rover being taken away. it was on its side. he is extraordinarily lucky, as buckingham palace say, not to have suffered any serious injuries. a perfectly assumption to g if assumption to make. clearlyifhe just turning onto - road, was no velocity or speed on

there was no velocity or speed on there was no velocity or speed on the part of the range rover but presumably the other vehicle involved in the collision was travelling at some speed. the question arises of whether drivers we re question arises of whether drivers were taking due care and attention and that sort of thing, but that is and that sort of thing, but that is a matter for norfolk police. this is a matter for norfolk police. this is a breaking story so we will come back to you later in the programme if you have any more for us. the rest of the news now. a new date has been set for another vote on the prime minister's brexit plans. it'll take place in less than a fortnight. today, the prime minister spent the day in talks in downing street with politicians from all sides as she tries to find a brexit deal which will command support in parliament. but the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has refused to take part unless the prospect of "no deal" is taken off the table. on tuesdav29th ianuarv. | meant to leave - european union

backstop. the insurance policy against a hard border in ireland that's part of the agreement. a move is vital for the northern that's part of the agreement. a move is vitalfor the northern irish mps who support number ten needs. we are optimistic and want to see a withdrawal agreement that works for the whole of the united kingdom and one that works for the european union. the way to do that is to deal with the backstop. the scale of the defeat on tuesday night i think allows the prime minister to take a very clear message to the european union around that issue. but like anything demanded in the prime minister's study or in whitehall rooms around the corner, that's a lot easier said than done. no straightforward to do what others are urging in talks with theresa may's number two. we met with david lidington and colleagues. we made it very clear that the government has to rule out no deal. that's the first step they have to take. and secondly, the prime minister needs to change her red lines. but if they rule out no deal, doesn't the uk

lose its bargaining powerfor the rest of the negotiations?” lose its bargaining powerfor the rest of the negotiations? i think the damage no deal would do would be so huge to our manufacturing industry and also to our policing and security. it's really important that we keep urging her to do so. did they suggest any compromises or new ideas? ruling out leaving the eu without a deal would cause a frenzy. the government would have to change the law. this is an urgent situation but no one round here can be sure how to find a way out. this is far from an ordinary day in whitehall. the prime minister and her team are meeting an encyclopaedia of mps with multiple different ideas for brexit. but if she truly hopes to get something everyone in parliament can sign up to, there is someone rather important who just isn't here. despite now repeated invitations from the prime minister, jeremy corbyn is refusing to talk unless she makes that big move. a no-deal brexit is actually the most

dangerous and very damaging thing to oui’ dangerous and very damaging thing to our country and our society. i say to the prime minister again, she may even be listening. prime minister, simply do this. take it off the table. some labour mps believe refusing to talk now is deeply wrong. but those on the guest list today have told me the government and their opponents both need a way to save face. the prime minister has been having plenty of meetings with people from across the political spectrum today following her genuine offer to all mp5 and all political party leaders in the commons to come and have conversations with us and see if we can get to a point for a negotiated deal that delivers on the referendum. but another day ends here with no solution, when there are few left to spare. now all is not quite lost. there are plenty of mps desperate to move forward who do want to help theresa may find some kind of solution. but she is trying to please people who love brexit at the same time as trying to please people who hate brexit. this is what one former

minister described to me today is an almost impossible task. with hardly any time left, it sometimes feels like theresa may is trying to make two plus two equal five. studio: laura kuenssberg in westminster, thank you. the japanese company hitachi is suspending work on a £20 billion nuclear power station in north wales — putting thousands ofjobs at risk. about 9,000 workers were expected to be involved in building the plant on anglesey. the news comes two months after another japanese company, toshiba, abandoned their involvement in a plant in cumbria. our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith reports from anglesey. in less than a decade this site should have been powering 6% of the uk's homes, but not anymore. and that's a big blow for anyone who had been banking on that huge investment into this corner of wales. edward farms, just down the road from the wylfa site. some people wanted to come and others didn't. those who

wa nted come and others didn't. those who wanted it wanted the job is. come and others didn't. those who wanted it wanted thejob is. people we re wanted it wanted thejob is. people were obscuring and getting ready for thejobs. but a lot were obscuring and getting ready for the jobs. but a lot of local businesses were getting ready to supply goods to the local nuclear power plant. preparing themselves with new staff, skills and machinery. all that is gone u nfortu nately machinery. all that is gone unfortunately and no one is too sure where to go. the 400 staff already working for the company have now been put on notice of redundancy. new nuclear build is a very difficult thing to finance. and that financial structure between us as a commercial operation through hitachi and through uk government and the government of japan has just and through uk government and the government ofjapan has just been, at this moment in time, too hard to deliver, but that's not to say that down the line it may resurrect itself, discussions are still ongoing with the uk government. and thatis ongoing with the uk government. and that is the glimmer of hope that we must keep in our minds. and that story has been repeated across the eight coastal sites the government

had hoped private companies would build new nuclear plants on. although building has begun at hinkley point, two sites have had no interest at all, two are still at the talking stages, one was cancelled altogether in november and cancelled altogether in novemberandl ‘hitachi's two l s‘efl to cancelled altogether in novemberandl ‘ hitachi board i s‘efl to and - clock is ticking. charge and the clock is ticking. ‘ has charge and the clock is ticking. ‘has an charge and the clock is ticking. nuclear has an important role to play as part of the diverse energy mix, but it must be at a price that is fairto mix, but it must be at a price that is fair to electricity bill payers and taxpayers. we will work closely with hitachi and the industry to ensure we find the best means of financing these and other new nuclear projects. the energy market has changed a lot since plans for those new nuclear schemes began. we now import a lot more cheap shale gas into the uk. the products that we use in our homes have become a lot more energy efficient in recent yea rs lot more energy efficient in recent years and renewable technology has become a lot cheaper, meaning we can

do it ona become a lot cheaper, meaning we can do it on a much bigger scale. even though we have made great strides with renewables, there's always the intermittency issue to deal with. and yes, renewables have come down in cost, but nuclear can also come down in cost. if the government decides to invest more in nuclear, it could be those costs are passed on to current customers, adding a little extra to all of our bills now to keep the lights on in the future. colletta smith, bbc news, on anglesey. simonjack, our business editor is here. what has happened to britain's nuclear ambitions? it wasn't long ago that we were talking about a new nuclear age with lots of sites identified for new nuclear power stations. of those, one is under construction, three have folded and two are struggling to get a green light because the economic landscape has changed. it's about money. basically nuclear energy is very expensive, costing a tonne of money to build these things, and in the

meantime renewables have come down in price. a couple of years ago, £147 per megawatt hour, and now 57, cheaper than nuclear. renewables say sometimes the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow, but intermittency problem is, but if you wa nt to intermittency problem is, but if you want to go nuclear, you want to back smaller nuclear reactor technology that they may win the arguments but it is getting to be a much harder economic argument to win. simon jack, thank you. the barrister representing david duckenfield has made his opening remarks in defence of the hillsborough match commander. ben myers qc told the jury at preston crown court that the former chief superintendent has been unfairly singled out for prosecution and that many other people and factors played a part in the disaster. david duckenfield denies the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 liverpool fans. use! mm'tereeflfi: there is no dispute that he was

sarah speaking, how may i help you? it's dr ashraf calling from hall green health. the start of another busy day for doctor sonia ashraf. i will ring the first patient and just get their consent. today, on the phone orface to face... so, this was the higher dose... ..she will talk to dozens of patients. how long have you been feeling like this? it's a big operation, home to more than 20 gps, as well as nurses, physios and pharmacists, contacted by around 1000 patients every day. every single patient is unique. we have absolutely no idea what will walk through the door. ..and what's this about going homeless? what's happening there? this surgery will see more patients in a day than the local a&e. you mentioned it on your rings. but compared to hospitals, gps work on a much more limited budget. the amount of investment put into general practice is stilljust not enough. we then have to start thinking of ideas for smarter working. can i take a date of birth, please? and this is what smarter

working looks like. making sure enough call handlers are working when the lines are busiest. any time between 8:30am and 6:30pm, the phones are live and there's not many periods throughout the day that it goes quiet enough for them to be able to do anything else. data around call numbers, test results, prescriptions — to save time and money. that also means rethinking who does what. so, the majority of patient house calls are now carried out by paramedics like sophie. by allowing us to see the more acute, minor injury and illness patients, that saves the time for the gps to do the more complex, chronic problems that require that bit more input and bit more time. meanwhile, back at the surgery, dr nashat qamar is running this is the sort of area ;

we are getting a lot of work being pushed through to us by hospitals. and they are asking us to do a lot of the work that they used to do. the workload has definitely increased. certainly the administrative side of things, over the last five years, has significantly increased. managing that increased workload has usaca 1: clammhfe 7" .-,-.
