this is bbc news, i'm christian fraser. the headlines at 5.00: the labour leader produces documents which he claims shows the government has discussed offering the united states access to the nhs after brexit. these documents confirm the us is demanding the nhs is on the table in the trade talks. these uncensored documents leave borisjohnson‘s denials in absolute tatters. it's total nonsense. and this is brought up time and again by the labour party as a distraction from the problems that they're having. we'll be live in cornwall where the labour and conservative leaders are on the campaign trail, the other headlines this evening.

the snp launches its election manifesto — saying it's time to put scotland's future in scotland's hands and calls for a second independence referendum next year. who should decide scotland's future? the people who live here or boris johnson? a vote for the snp on december 12th is a vote to escape brexit. clive james, the australian writer and broadcaster has died at the age of eighty. after a cinema chain bans a new film about gangs after brawls broke out, its director tells us his movie had nothing to do with the violence: do you believe that this film brings its people, is a colour thing? i don't know, man, it was upsetting. and, the theatre director, writer and broadcaster jonathan miller has died, at the age of 85//

jeremy corbyn says he has evidence that the nhs is at risk from a post brexit trade deal with the united states. at a news conference this morning, the labour leader produced documents which he said showed talks had taken place about drugs pricing and access to nhs contracts. borisjohnson dismissed the claims as "total nonsense" and said he could give an "absolute cast iron guarantee" the nhs would not be on the table in trade talks. our political correspondent jessica parker reports. a51 pages of unredacted documents and information. all of it here. brandishing these, it was intended to be a dramatic moment.

he claims these documents, detailing meetings between us and uk officials, prove the nhs is at risk from a conservative led brexit. more expensive drug prices, he says, runaway privatisation. now we know, direct from the secret reports, that they never wanted you to see. the us is demanding that our nhs is on the table in negotiations for a toxic deal. it is no secret that american companies want access to the uk drugs market but, in these piles and piles of documents, do you have evidence that uk ministers agreed that the health service should be part of trade talks? if you want to know whether ministers were involved in these talks or not, then they sanctioned the talks, they are obviously fully aware of the talks, and they are the ones that were declining to make the documents published. if, say, borisjohnson is the next prime minister and he wants

to secure a trade deal with the us, he is going to have to concede ground on a number of issues. i'm certain that the nhs will be one of them. so there is a big wad of paper to wade through and interpret and labour will make its claims in terms of what these meetings, which we have heard of before, really amount to. but those claims will be heavily contested. borisjohnson, visiting a hospital today, wasn't prime minister when these meetings took place and said... there will be no sale of the nhs, no privatisation. the nhs is not on the table in any way. the nhs is in no way on the table, in no aspect whatever. and this, as i say, is continually brought up by the labour party as a diversionary tactic from the difficulties they are encountering. today's effort and a big moment for labour came after a series of difficult ones forjeremy corbyn yesterday. are you fit for high office? heavily criticised over his handling

of anti—semitism allegations, he was asked again if he wanted to apologise to the jewish community. i made it very clear — anti—semitism is completely wrong in our society. our party did make it clear when i was elected leader and after that that anti—semitism is unacceptable in any form in our party or our society and, indeed, offered its sympathies and apologies to those that had suffered. while his shadow chancellor said this. we have a said that and i will repeat it again, i am really sorry the way we handled the issue because we learned the lessons from that and we have also invited people to say if there are still more lessons to be learned, come and see us and help us. talking about the nhs today, that is more comfortable territory forjeremy corbyn. politicians may find a path onto other topics but it isn't always easy. our political correspondent

jonathan blake is in cornwall wherejeremy corbyn will be holding a rally. jonathan, clearly in the presentation of these documents today, labour is trying to move the conversation. what you make of the timing? the timing is everything, i think. if you look at the very difficult 2a hours or so thatjeremy corbyn has had in this election campaign to attempt to shift the focus back onto this key area of the nhs, and what labour sees as the threat to the health service from the us trade deal, it is clearly a deliberate move. as you head in the report, there have been calls for jeremy corbyn to apologise over the pa rty‘s jeremy corbyn to apologise over the party's handling jeremy corbyn to apologise over the pa rty‘s handling and jeremy corbyn to apologise over the party's handling and his handling personally of the claims of anti—semitism within the labour party. this is much more comfortable territory for the labour leader, and it has been a key message that they have tried to drive home the of the

election campaign. that a us trade deal under the conservatives would mean the nhs being, asjeremy corbyn likes the project, for sale, at least on the table, in those talks. the conservatives and borisjohnson deny that and sayjeremy corbyn is out and out lying about what these documents lee has produced today, which have actually been available online for several weeks now, showing. the details about the pricing of drugs, and it goes to the heart of labour's argument that the us will be looking for the most com plete us will be looking for the most complete access possible to the national health service, and they argue that will mean an increase in drug prices because of patents being extended. the conservative cancer but with an argument that the nhs won't be part of trade talks. whether this move by jeremy won't be part of trade talks. whether this move byjeremy corbyn will shift the dial the knot allow those accusations of anti—semitism and handling a it for way, we will have to see over the next few days

in the course of the campaign. thank you. let's go to our political correspondent who has been following the prime minister, also in cornwall today. there is a lot of pages to go through. what they seem to show us is what the american side is demanding. it doesn't seem to show that the uk side is playing ball at this point. that is right. these discussions among officials that hutton did a couple of years ago, borisjohnson hutton did a couple of years ago, boris johnson making clear hutton did a couple of years ago, borisjohnson making clear it was nothing to do with him. it looks like the us are setting aside its framework for potential talks. boris johnson was emphatic that the nhs in no way would be part of formal trade talks. he said the price paid for drugs and nhs services would not be on the table. trying to shut down

firmly labourers attack line. yet there is a line that i picked out, it was very helpful exposition of the areas we can expect the us to push in an fta, a free trade agreement, and the areas where we mightfind agreement, and the areas where we might find ourselves in difficult territory. donald trump has expressed frustration that the european supply to be far less for generic drugs. you cannot imagine that us will move easily on this. yes, and the argument is that it keeps prices high for american users, it is not fairfor them. they will push hard, and it highlights an area that they will probably be, on the american side, something they will want to discuss once talks began. i think this narrow area, while i think labour obviously thinks this is politically potentially hugely beneficial for them, to be focusing on the potential consequences for the

health service, but it also shows is how much uncertainty surrounding the trade deals for the next government, whether it is borisjohnson or jeremy corbyn, or whoever else, whether it is borisjohnson or jeremy corbyn, orwhoever else, on these trade deals with the nhs and these trade deals with the nhs and the eu. these are going on for a very long time and often involve very long time and often involve very controversial trade—offs. we do not know the terms of any future trade agreement between the us and uk. we don't know what they will be between the uk and the eu when it comes to regulations. trade in goods and services, aviation, defence, these are all big unknowns, and i think that is why this is uncomfortable territory for boris johnson, because it highlights again, and undermines, perhaps, his argument that a tory majority simply gets brexit done. if the uk leaves the eu at the end ofjanuary, it is only then the beginning of the second phase, which is all about

deals with the us, the hopes, and with the youth as well. thank you very much. the scottish national party has launched its manifesto for next month's general election — saying it is time for scotland to be treated fairly. the party leader, nicola sturgeon, said the country will pay a price for what she called the conservatives' obsession with brexit. she said another independence referendum next year would be the main demand for supporting a possible minority labour government — alongside calls for increased spending on the nhs. our scotland correspondent james shaw is in glasgow yes, the snp aren't the last of the big uk party is to launch their ma nifesto, big uk party is to launch their manifesto, but last is not necessarily least. it is true that this party could, under certain circumstances, play a big role in the government of the united kingdom. for many, this is the brexit election.

for nicola sturgeon and the snp, it is also the independence election. because her price for supporting a minority labour government would be the right to hold a second independence referendum. first, there was a warning about what she thinks a conservative government would actually mean. unless borisjohnson is stopped, this willjust be the start. brexit is nowhere near being done. the tories have barely got going. they haven't even started trade talks yet and, because of johnson's ha rdline position, there is every chance, every chance, that the uk will leave the eu without a trade deal next year. that would be a catastrophe forjobs. and even if he somehow avoids that, his a dream deal will be a nightmare for scotland. and nicola sturgeon had a big promise on the nhs, another part of that price

for supporting labour. if the next uk government raised health spending per head to the current scottish level, it would not only substantially increase health investment in england, it would mean by 2024—25, frontline investment in nhs scotland would be £4 billion higher than it is today. other priorities include £1.5 billion to end austerity, decisive moves to halt climate change, opposition to increasing the pension age and scrapping trident nuclear submarines based in scotland. but what about another independence referendum? people are becoming increasingly sick of hearing jeremy corbyn and borisjohnson talking about not allowing the scottish people to choose their own future. well, i've got news for them. it is not up to you. applause

and you know what? it is not up to me either. it is a decision for the people of scotland. in scotland, it is hard to separate this election from the independence question. if borisjohnson wins and brexit happens, does that mean scottish voters will be more likely to want to break away from the united kingdom? the answer to that question affects the future of scotland and the rest of the uk. one more detail, perhaps, to add to that. it might sounding significant, but it could turn out to be significant in the long term. nicola sturgeon said today that if the united kingdom is leaving the union

without a deal, then she is looking at the possibility of revoking article 50, in other words ending the brexit process without a referendum. we are a long way from that stage at the moment, but at some stage over the next year, that could become a significant change in the policy of the snp. well — with the snp launching its manifesto and both labour and the conservatives hoping to make inroads into scotland. what are the polls looking like? to get an idea let's talk to sirjohn curtice. the message from the pole in scotla nd the message from the pole in scotland was consistent with what we have had from other parts. there was a clear evidence of the conservative vote having risen back up in scotland. it had been running about 20% or so, according to this poll

opens back up to 28%, just short of what the party got in 2017. not that any of this necessarily came at the expense of the snp. according to this poll, the snp are still polling at around a0%, which it has been out for quite some time. of course, the conservative vote has gone up, and the snp are holding their own. that does mean that many of the seats which are marginal which the conservatives won from the snp last timei conservatives won from the snp last time i now sits where the conservatives may be able to hang on. that said, so far as the labour party is concerned, the news wasn't anything like so good. labour has been struggling north of the border. people still put the party only at lower than the 20% they got last time, and they could lose some of the seats are going snp. these are

all very marginal labour seats and labour or all very marginal labour seats and labourorsnp all very marginal labour seats and labour or snp could gobble them up. at the headline that we're looking at in force in scotland just a few weeks ago, something for the snp will be dominant loss of the border, but maybe just borisjohnson ending up but maybe just borisjohnson ending up with a few more seats than he originally anticipated. up with a few more seats than he originally anticipatedlj up with a few more seats than he originally anticipated. i saw an interview with some activists from the conservative camp, and they were saying that the more nicola sturgeon talks about independence, the better it is for that. clearly the parties is in divergent strategies. yes, once you bear in mind that the rights of the conservative party in 2017 in scotland seem to have much more to do with the party boss or position of brexit and the willingness of that minority of these voters in scotland to support these voters in scotland to support the conservatives to pack a few and expressed a view about brexit, and it was to do with the advent of independence. that said, the truth

is now in scotland these two debates are heavily intertwined. there is a mixture of people changing their views, and also some resorting has been going on, and now those people that voted remained, a majority of them, a clear majority of them, or independence to favour of independence, and conversely, those who voted no and no now, there is much less support for independence. so, in that sense, these two arguments are intertwined. if you go back to the snp vote in 2015, it was just strong between eurosceptics and europhiles. those days are now over. both are now in favour remain and independence, but the conservatives are popular with brexit and

remain back to our top story. jeremy corbyn produced documents showing pricing and access to nhs contacts. here's our health editor. one of the most damaging charges that corbyn made this morning was that they would increase the patent length on drugs. that would presumably increase the price of drugs. that's right. the higher they can charge, if the patient comes in and then it goes generic. the price becomes full. that is definitely in these documents that labour have been highlighting today.

they want to discuss patented issues around access. just to be clear, what these documents are about, covering six meetings between the uk and us, between 2017 this summer, we knew about the existence of these meetings, they had been highlighted a few weeks back by a dispatches documentary, and it was said at the time that drugs in the nhs were tied up time that drugs in the nhs were tied up in these questions. labour got hold of the minutes of meetings, and we have discovered a bit more about this detail, but this is very different from an actual trade negotiation. this is preparing the way for future trade talks so mr corbyn raised questions about what they mean, conservatives have been adamant about the nhs and drug prices not being on the table. obviously healthy is an issue, and the nhs buys drugs in scotland and northern ireland too. to the us feel

they are being locked out of the market? or underlying all of this is that scotland and england have different pricing regulations. they will say that what is value for money for the nhs, and it has been frustrating for drug companies in the us, because the end up doing deals to give drugs to be nhs for lower prices than what they can charge the american health care service, so that has been frustrating for donald trump. but why would the british government to any deal that results in drug prices being raised? any deal that results in drug prices being raised ? is any deal that results in drug prices being raised? is the uk is getting a good deal at the moment three list of regulators then that is good for nhs. if you raise prices then you have two of the nhs. hill the nhs as an entity is not for

sale. labour say this just shows the direction of travel. there are question marks over the whole thing. the leader of plaid cymru, adam price, has insisted that his demand for a future referendum about welsh independence is realistic. the party, which is defending four seats at the election, wants a referendum by 2030. mr price said support for a breakaway is growing. if you look at younger people, 54% now support independence. it's theirfuture, you know, that we are talking about and i think there is a realisation, look at the chaos of westminster in the last three and a half years. many, many people are coming to the conclusion there has to be a better way, a welsh way of solving our problems. the distinguished writer, director and broadcaster sirjonathan miller has died. he was 85. he found fame as a member of

the beyond the fringe comedy revue. a man of many parts he was also a photographer, sculptor and a qualified doctor. sarah campbell looks back at his long career. jonathan miller directing the opera don pasquale, in florence. when you give him the soup, do it like... go, hello. he was one of the world's great opera directors, an accomplished theatre director, television director, a humorist, an artist, a sculptor, an all—round intellectual and elapsed medic. sorry to drag you away from the fun, old boy. that's all right, sir. war‘s not going very well, you know. oh, my god... his life changed in 1960 when the trainee doctor was invited to join the cast of beyond the fringe. the groundbreaking satirical revue also starred alan bennett, peter cook and dudley moore. i want you to lay down your life.

yes, sir. we need a futile gesture at this stage... its success was immense. it transferred from edinburgh to london and then to new york. miller's medical career never recovered. don't come back. right you are. goodbye, perkins. god, i wish i was going too. goodbye, sir. or is it au revoir? no, perkins. hold your tongue! i will not! he moved into television, making films like the ‘60s acid trip version of alice in wonderland. if you prick us, do we not bleed? soon, he was directing plays as well, including lawrence olivier, no less, as shakespeare's shylock. if you rob us, shall we not revenge? if we are like you and the rest, we will resemble you in that! blood vessels, heart and intestine... he presented a medical series

on television the body in question, and said his training as a doctor helped his work with actors. i had been taught to look for the small details by means of which the doctor infers what might be wrong, little tiny details of how people carry themselves, how they talk. these negligible details which you are trained to keep your eye open for were absolutely all that the theatre was about. some of his opera stayed in the repertory for decades, though the critics sometimes sneered. the thin—skinned miller took that badly, perversely claiming he was underappreciated in britain. i get asked much less to do things now than i used to. i mean, in england, i don't get asked to do anything. some, indeed, thought him too clever by half. his versatility made him a figure of fun. it didn't stop him, later in life, starting to make abstract sculptures out of metal.

if you are here singing, i think you need to be a little bit more faith in that direction. he was and egotist who could be devastatingly rude. he was also a superb educator and entertainer, playful, occasionally pretentious, rarely predictable. let's talk more — alan yentob is the host of the bbc‘s cultural series imagine, and profiled jonathan miller for the culture show and joins me from glasgow. he when did you first come across jonathan miller? i came across him because beyond the fringe was an extraordinary moment, and jonathan was, there wasjonathan miller, alan bennett, peter cook, they were in an extraordinary partnership, and the thing that jonathan was, extraordinary partnership, and the thing thatjonathan was, its a difficult word to find. he was a

polymath, that's what people call him, but he was an extraordinary all—rounder. there he is, a comedian, a stand—up comedian in the early days, and then very rapidly he also, his passion in biology and medicine, he was a very good friend of oliver sacks, who wrote the man who sought his wife as a hat,... we are also talking about the passing of clive james. they were of similar characters. here was another man in clive james through turned that intellect to comedy. yes, i can hardly believe that today has happened. i'vejust hardly believe that today has happened. i've just heard about clive in the last few minutes. yes, obviously clive had come over from

australia and had come with that moment, barry humphries and germaine greer, there are a kind of threesome. in fact, jermaine research university with clive. i was running bbc two, and clive did saturday nights clive on sunday night clive, and he was the observer pulls back tv critic. he wrote albums with pete atkin, and he was ill for a very long time, and his curiosity drove him so he was able to write about his illness, as well, and he wrote several columns, i think the guardian based on the fact that she was still not yet gone. so, they were two figures who had that range of creativity and curiosity which are things which distinguish

them, and also we're talking about people who emerged out of the 1960s, which was a remarkable era, and it has to be said thatjohnson also was a television presenter. i mean, i do a rts a television presenter. i mean, i do arts programming, and the programming which was so influential ata time, programming which was so influential at a time, monitor, which he was responsible for and had a similar role as i did, in helping to run the bbc and also staying in the community, and actually presented monitor as well, and alice in wonderland, you saw a clip of that which was amazing, and he was responsible for such great work, including his theatre work. he talks, there, about his famous merchant of venice. he worked for the kent opera and for glyndebourne, and he was always inventive. it was

this mix of comedy and playfulness, which was something that really appeared in his work, as well, and, of course, people say he was perverse. i don't know if he was perverse, but he was certainly sensitive to criticism. he wasn't happy when he got bad reviews, he felt he was underappreciated in the uk, but he... there was no one like johnson, and i think clive james, as well, was a true original.|j johnson, and i think clive james, as well, was a true original. i think clive james talked about those final yea rs clive james talked about those final years when he was suffering, as the posthumous years, but he was so prolific in those years. as you say, he was quite ill towards the end. here he is talking to marr about dying and how he was facing up to it. the big decision you have to make is whether you go on trying to do what you think you're good at, or you just lie down. i'm very good at lying down, don't underestimate me.

there was never any lazier bone on is, ican there was never any lazier bone on is, i can hit the couch and just lie there, easy, but i decided not to. i had things i wanted to say, and saying things is really what do. he wrote good three or such good poetry to the end, but then, on his tv career, he introduced us to the lowest of the loan. he said maybe be guilty of introducing us to reality television. he did, had a show where he introduced us to clips from around the world, and she was the predecessor to jonathan ross, around the world, and she was the predecessor tojonathan ross, graham norton, and he was an adventurer. in terms of his imagination, he was ready to leap anywhere. i remember, famously, or perhaps infamously, he was in the studio by bill grundy was interviewing the sex pistols and it was going bonkers, and clive was

trying to manage them. so, there are many instances in clive james's life, and i really enjoyed working with him, and jonathan, as well, was a friend, and they are both going to be greatly missed. thank you. i will bring you the weather in a second. i am just looking at 1000 jobs are expected to go at tata steel, they have had so many difficulties of late but we are told 1000 jobs will go in restructuring efforts. but let us have a quick look at the weather. ican i can see a change to drier weather on the horizon but before then, we

have more rain overnight tonight. this could cause localised surface water problems. easter is gotten is and eastern england where the rain is persistent. patches of green elsewhere but they should not cause significant issues. temperatures overnight 5—10d. tomorrow, rain on the menu again, the rain will sink southwards with brighter skies following from the north. some of the mildest weather across england ten on 11 degrees. sunshine in scotla nd ten on 11 degrees. sunshine in scotland on the far north of england. it will be a chilly afternoon, just 6 degrees in edinburgh and newcastle. i am not promising the weather will be dry the next week but there is a change for many of us to drier weather. some sunshine around, colder weather than we had sun —— magazine but a few showers of rain. that is your weather.

this is bbc news. the headlines... the labour leader produces documents which he claims shows the government has discussed offering the united states access to the nhs after brexit. these documents confirm the us is demanding the nhs is on the table in the trade talks. these uncensored documents leave boris johnson's denials in absolute tatters. it is total nonsense. this is brought up time and again by the labour party as a distraction from the problems they are having.

the snp launches its election manifesto — saying it's time to put scotland's future in scotland's hands and calls for a second independence referendum next year. who should decide scotland's future? the people who live here or boris johnson? a vote for the snp on december 12 is a vote to escapebrexit. clive james, the australian writer and broadcaster has died at the age of eighty. a cinema chain has banned a new film about gangs after a brawl, but the director tells us his movie had nothing to do with the violence. and, the theatre director, writer and broadcaster jonathan miller has died, at the age of 85. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre.

good afternoon. it's another busy night in the champions league as both chelsea and liverpool look to confirm their places in the last sixteen. later tonight, the current champions of europe host napoli — a side in crisis both on and off the pitch. as for chelsea, they're out for revenge following their 1—nil defeat to valencia last time out. i expect a very organised team. i expect to see a lot of quality in attacking areas, the two strikers they have. my feeling is that having played in the stadium, it is not just the team but it is the support and the atmosphere and when they come together and they are playing well, it is difficult to get through so well, it is difficult to get through soi well, it is difficult to get through so i expect a difficult match. tomorrow, the europa league group stages continues — but there's one name that stands out in the manchester united squad heading to astana. defender max taylor was diagnosed with testicular cancer one year ago

turning his whole world upside down jsut five months after signing for united. since then, he's had a full recovery and has been telling the bbc about his experience. you are by yourself, you cannot sleep and all you're you cannot sleep and all you're thinking is, this seriously could end my life. hi, my name is max taylor and i'm a professional footballer for manchester united. i had been checking and ifelt a lump so i went to the doctor and said, obviously i have a lump. he ran a scan and said yes, it is normal, a cyst, quite normal in teenagers. he gave me a week of antibiotics. had those. a week later it returned bigger. i got told it was a 30mm cancer cell. my mum broke down straightaway. i was sort of like, so taken aback that i did not cry. i got out and it was like, oh my god.

my mind was running 100 miles an hour at what could happen, what is next? will i play football again? will i be alive? once i got out of the chemo and it was all successful i thought i will get back there. then when i came back, mourinho had gone and ole had come in. they invited me to go out and watch first—team training. at that time i could not do anything. i was stood there, just talking with ole. it was a great way to come back, it was uplifting. it taught me to appreciate the things you love and i do not know what i would do if i wasn't playing football. max taylor there and there is more on that interview on the website. ben stokes has given his full support to joe root after he struggled for runs during england's lose against new zealand. he made just 2 and 11 in the first of two tests — which his side lost by a innings

and 65 runs. the england captain has dropped out of the top 10 of the test batting rankings for the first time for 5 years. he has the backing of everyone in the changing room. that is the most important thing, to him as a captain and to us as players in general. the only thing that matters is the changing room vibe. everything else outside of that is just noise. he's england captain. he is the best player in england. he knows that. he has the full support of us in the changing room. israel folau, is demanding more compensation from rugby australia. the former wallabies star is suing, after being fired back in may for making anti—gay remarks on social media. folau, who's a christian, argues that the termination of his contract is a case of religious discrimination. he wants £7.11 million arguing that australia would have achieved a "superior performance" at the rugby world cup in september if he had been in the side. that is it from me —

but i'll have more for you in sportsday at half past six. thank you for that. now, the labour leader, jeremy corbyn says he has has obtained hundreds of unredacted documents appearing to show the nhs would be on the table in trade talks with the us after brexit. borisjohnson has repeatedly denied this — and this morning described the fresh claim as ‘total nonsense' . robbie turner is the director of pharmacy and member experience for the royal pharmaceutical society. welcome. how does the nhs keep top places affordable? we are rightly proud of how affordable ourjob places are. there are two classes of drugs, branded drugs which are the ones that people take in their earlier life—cycle, they have brand names and places in combination with

the nhs and nice. they make sure brp in the right place for the drugs. the older drugs, generic drugs used to treat long—term conditions, the prices are kept by pharmacists and suppliers who drive down the prices of those. so, generic drugs are copies essentially so as the licence expires, other pharmaceutical companies and copy the drugs. that irritates donald trump because they are cheaper? the generic drug market is an international market so suppliers are notjust based in the united states. in the uk we buy medicines from a range of suppliers based on not just medicines from a range of suppliers based on notjust place but also the quality of the drugs to make sure patients in the uk can access

high—quality, safe medicines and at the same time we are driving the best value for the nhs because it is good for taxpayers but also means patients have wider access to treatments. this has been announced today as a bad thing, job placing on drugs would be on the table and any future trade agreements, is that a flip side in that the nhs would get access to newer and better drugs which could help our recovery rates? a regulatory framework means we get quick access to new medicines. very few medicines are available in the us and on not available here in the uk. there will be some which i dated of the nhs because they have not been deemed to deliver the right value for the taxpayer and for the people who use the nhs but that is unlikely to change because that is pa rt unlikely to change because that is part of our regulatory framework. you have your own manifesto out,

what is it you would like to from the various parties in the election? we knowjob prices are very important and the money spent on drugs is a huge amount but we should see that as an investment in the ca re of see that as an investment in the care of people so every pound we spent on drugs, we want to make sure pharmacists and their colleagues are working with patients to get the best value out of medicines prescribed and that there is less waste as well. thank you very much for coming in tojoin us. nearly a hundred heads of adult council social care services in england say they're worried they'd not be able to cope with the demand for support from older and disabled people over the winter. our social affair correspondent alison holt has been to meet a woman in her 40s who relies on the care system. have you got my water bottle there? thank you. nina is 47 and has multiples, she knows all too well the pressures on the care system in england which are reflected in the

survey today. she has onlyjust moved into the specially adapted flight moved into the specially adapted flight to get the help she needs. in the summer she was living in a small room ina the summer she was living in a small room in a nursing home for elderly people. she spent ten months there because there was nowhere else for her to go. it was amazing how quickly i became sort of institutionalised really and yesterday care. the person that i should be in this bed is an elderly person with alzheimer's or dementia andi person with alzheimer's or dementia and i should be out in the community, living on independent and much more normal life. now trying to live that more independent life, she is using her pension and money from selling her flight to is using her pension and money from selling herflight to pf is using her pension and money from selling her flight to pf for the ca re selling her flight to pf for the care she needs. it will run out within weeks and she what is her cancer will not be able to provide her with enough support. ridiculously i feel guilty for needing that much help. i the ability for asking the council for

the level of help that i want because i know they have not got the funds but it is help that you need. it is absolutely help that i need. me and everybody else with disabilities and illnesses and need of care want to live as full a life as possible and i cannot do that on my own. demand from an ageing population, staff shortages on financial difficulties for councils lie behind the problems. even with extra government money, the people running services to their level of concern is unprecedented.” running services to their level of concern is unprecedented. i do not think i have seen it this bad and i think i have seen it this bad and i think it is as a result of continuing short—term action. i think the cumulative effect over 45 yea rs has think the cumulative effect over 45 years has led to the situation where there is unanimity now about what he and concerned. those worries are about acute races in england but many of the pleasures of felt across

the uk. for nina, the need to fix the uk. for nina, the need to fix the problems facing her and many others is no argent. the scottish national party has launched its manifesto for next month's general election — saying it is time for scotland to be treated fairly. i'm joined now by chris morris, the bbc‘s reality check correspondent, who's been taking a look at some of the detail — chris, what have you picked out? the cost of brexit and a health warning, economic forecasts but the snp is using a scottish government assessment for 2018 that reading the single market and the customs union which cut national income in scotla nd which cut national income in scotland by £9 billion, the equivalent of 1600 p for every person scotland. the vast majority are forecast to see their economy will be smaller under any form of brexit but the trouble with this is

that national income is not the same as household wealth because it includes things like company profits so other people may be purer, we do not think it will be as pure as this so political parties love to put exact numbers on things for people saying this is what happen if you do not vote for us but sometimes this is not the exact number. nicola sturgeon has said that scrapping trident is one of her red lines — what did the manifesto have to say about that? the long—standing policy of opposing trident and its replacement which would be based on the faslane nuclear base in scotland. the snp says the cost of replacing trident would be £205 billion. a lot of that is based on official ministry of defence figures, dessie 31 billion for new submarines, 10 billion for contingency plans. —— mike they say. the tricky bit is servicing the

stuff every year. the snp figure appears to include 142 billion in service cost over 30 years. economic forecasts over 30 yea rs service cost over 30 years. economic forecasts over 30 years and not much more than educated guesses so that is one problem. we think it is maybe 40 billion smaller than that. it is a lot of money but the important point is you cannot suggest that if you cancel trident, you will have £200 billion to spend right now on public services. and of course — the obvious one — a second scottish independence referendum. yes, i must have for the snp and bc and the manifesto they believe there should be a manifest —— make referendum next year. this is christabel for the conservatives who see mike avoid for conservative will mean you have two referendums next

year, one in europe and one on scotland. but jeremy corbyn year, one in europe and one on scotland. butjeremy corbyn has actually said in the early years we will not be sporting referendum, not in the first two years he said when was pressed. everyone in hung parliament after the election, this would be very much up for grabs. the snp is putting down its markers thing they want one next year but it is probably more likely you will see an eu referendum under that management with possibly a scottish referendum later on. thank you very much. more analysis on the bbc website. the director of ‘blue story‘, the new film about london gangs which has been banned by some cinemas after a mass brawl in birmingham, has said the violence in cinemas had nothing to do with the film. the vue chain has stopped showing blue story, because it says there have been incidents in 16 of their theatres. rapman, who also wrote the film, has questioned whether there

are ‘hidden reasons' for the ban — vue insists its decision had nothing to do with race. our arts editor will gompertz has been speaking to the film—maker. fictional trouble on the streets of london. real trouble on the streets of birmingham. the urban drama, blue story, has become a news story, after vue cinemas decided to pull it from all its screens for what they claimed was security reasons. a decision which has astonished the director. i was thinking, what is the reason? does the owner have an issue with the urban youth? is this a colour thing? you start going through all these things. it was an upsetting time. the gangs this is about have been

laughing together in the cinema, leaving connected. did you ever think, when you made the movie, it might be a lightning rod for trouble? not at all. i knew it would attract a lot of young people. that was the aim. the whole thing was to have the cinema filled up with 15—year—olds literally making the choice whether they should go down that route or the other route. i didn't think there would be people bringing out machetes for a film, of course not. as far as i am concerned, nobody pulled out a machete because of the film, anyway. how does it affect you, as a film—maker, that this film has been pulled? i feel cheated. it is always an upwards hurdle, coming from my background.

i knew it would not be smooth. the last thing i thought was a cinema would ban us from every single site. what do you think the sort of decision says to the next rapman, trying to make the same journey you have made? it is just telling them, it will be a hard journey, and when you get there, it will not get any easier. you will get hit with hurdles. but we crack on. they take our legs, we crawl. the chief executive said... this story is still being screened by other cinema chains. let's take a look at some other stories making the headlines. the first bodies of the 39 vietnamese migrants found dead in a refrigerated lorry in essex

last month have arrived in vietnam. sixteen bodies were flown from london to hanoi. the rest of the victims are expected to be returned this weekend. a man who carried out a knife attack on three people — including a police officer at manchester victoria station — last new year's eve, has received a minimum sentence of 11 years. the united states congress has invited president donald trump to its first impeachment hearing next week. if he does attend, the president would be able to question witnesses. the inquiry is looking into whether mr trump pressurised ukraine to investigate his political rival, joe biden. donald trump denies the allegations. the celebrity chef gary rhodes has died, at the age of 59. he presented bbc series including masterchef and rhodes around britain — and in his restaurants was awarded a record five michelin stars. tributes have been paid by many of the country's best known chefs: gordon ramsay said that gary rhodes put british cuisine on the map and marcus wareing said he will be remembered

as a great british icon. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba looks back at his career. when it came to kitchen cuisine, gary rhodes' flair for food made him a rock star chef, perhaps the first to really make cooking cool. you have got flavour, you have got taste. pretty good question to ask, the kitchen is so hot here... it was more than 30 years ago that keith floyd filmed a young head chef at the michelin—starred castle hotel in taunton. rhodes still in his mid—20s. his firstjob was in amsterdam, but his kitchen career, working in a hotel, was almost derailed. running for a tram, he was hit by a van. his head injury destroyed his senses of taste and smell, crucial tools for a chef. the doctor said, you haven't done very well and i said what does this mean? he said it means you need a new career. and, for me, that was devastating.

he did recover and starting with hot chefs, landed a succession of high—profile cooking jobs. we are on the great british revival. if you are worried about egg whites, make some meringues. he was one of those chefs i always wanted to watch work. i don't normally sit there and watch other chefs doing demonstrations but with gary, it was always something new. his approachable personality meant he was also in prime—time demand, from the holiday programme. i am a chef and they have sent me touring but you won't catch me doing any cooking. i am here to find out... to strictly. contemporaries have been paying tribute. gordon ramsay said he was a fantastic chef who put british cuisine on the map. ainsley harriet described him as a culinary icon. monica galletti said

she was honoured to have known him. we have lost too many great talents today, it is society. —— sad day. now it's —— sad day. time for a look at the weather. i cansee some dry weather but we have some need to come overnight first. this has been bringing problems to parts of lincolnshire, parts of the country are on the hands and knees where there is heavy rain. through the night time, more heavy rain at times eastern scotland and eastern england, these areas are at most risk of the more problems overnight. the venal behaviour times overnight. the venal behaviour times over eastern scotland so we could see surface water flooding issues. there will be patches as well across northern ireland, wales and southern

counties of england. temperatures from five to 10 celsius. looking at the weather picture into thursday, an area of pressure has been bringing the way —— ventilate is moving into the continent so we get colder weather coming in from the north, that is also drier air so there will not be as much rain in northern regions. set for thursday, another the cloudy start to the day, wet weather extensively with the rain slowly pushing south through the day. across south england we have the mildest weather, temperatures should reach ten or 11 celsius whereas in northern england and scotland, in the afternoon the temperature is on top away, it will bea temperature is on top away, it will be a cold afternoon, temperatures around six in edinburgh and newcastle. sharp frost follows in thursday, dainty mainstay in edinburgh, the thrust will be

sharper in the countryside, some low temperatures into the radio. radio could start off with a patch of lean in south—west england but it is a much drier day for much of the country. one or two showers for the north sea coast, feeling chilly despite funny skies. temperatures from four to eight celsius. for the weekend, high pressure is in charge. this low pressure, some uncertainty about where the rain will end up. it could go as far as north wales and east anglia but for the time being we think it will fate southern coastal counties of the uk, leaving the bulk of the uk with a dry day. we could see a few showers across the north and east of scotland, danny east coast of england. temperatures will struggle for most of us so another cold day. into sunday and the new week, high—pressure builds across the uk, something we have not seen for four

weeks across most areas of the country and this will bring a change to more settled conditions. looking ahead to sunday and into next week, ahead to sunday and into next week, a lot of dry weather around. a chilly note before the weather turns milder later in the week. that could bea milder later in the week. that could be a return of rain across the north—west but the will not be as heavy or because such widespread problems as last week. read more widespread in the west, a part of the uk which has not seen as much heavy rain in the last few weeks. that is how the weather is shaping up. goodbye for now.
