wales. £1400 for each member of staff. that is well below inflation, but the government, speaking for england, the department of health, says actually it is in line with the independent pay review body and unions should think very, very carefully about taking action that might affect patience. the unions do say though that anything they do will only be non—urgent care. i should say that in scotland, the scottish government has made this higher offer and unison has postponed a ballot to ask its members if they want to accept that. hugh pym, thank you. the government is failing to get a grip on how the uk's water supply, power grid and railways will be affected by extreme weather events caused by climate change. that's one of the findings in a report released today by a joint committee of mps and peers. it says britain's national security is being jeopardised. here's our environment correspondent, jonah fisher. this is the aftermath of storm arwen in november last year. mps and peers say it's an example of how the breakdown of one critical

service can quickly affect another. in this case, the high winds and snow brought power cuts, which then meant digital phone lines stopped working, leaving some with no way to call the emergency services. 0ur warming climate will mean more heatwaves and droughts. and there will also be more intense storms and rain. the committee warns that it's likely to mean more damaged train tracks, flooded infrastructure sites, landslides and power cuts. their call is notjust for greater resilience, but forjoined—up thinking in government. what we found is that there are people who are trying to keep the phones working, say, and there are people who are trying to make sure that we have access to water. but they're not necessarily talking to each other and there's nobody looking at the overall picture. governments in this country are not really geared to looking

at things in the round. every department has its own expertise, its own pride, its own ethos, and they look after their own interests. and they're not necessarily looking over their shoulder to the bloke next door and saying, "hang on a minute, if i do this, what effect will it have on him?" and, you know, it's a big weakness generally in our system of government. responding to the report, a spokesperson for the cabinet office said... how bad it gets will depend on how quickly we stop emitting the greenhouse gases that warm our planet. next month, the world will come together again, this time in egypt, to discuss what progress, if any, has been made since the climate talks in glasgow last year. speaking to the bbc in new york, the united nations' top diplomat
