nhs faces over the next few days and indeed weeks. the winter months are always difficult for the nhs which is particularly true during the festive period. and this year was always going to be difficult given the complexities around the ongoing issues coming from the pandemic and various other infections that have risen recently. whether it�*s flu or strap a are other things. it finds itself in the middle of a perfect storm. the article in the milk talks about the fact that nine out of ten nhs trust will be severely affected by the ambulance strike. and they are ready reading from the royal couege are ready reading from the royal college of nursing strike in this week. these are a series of strikes that have really affected the nhs and could have mourned an enormous knock on effects over the christmas period. as the health service struggles to cope with the impact of these events. the question is, what

we short run last month so that by a margin of two to one people supported nurses over the governments and recent pose even more. so nurses are in the best position and strengthening their position and strengthening their position in terms of public opinion. as time goes on the situation may change. i think the government would be hoping for that. i think, all sides in this contest do want to come to an arrangement. it�*s just the process they go through in order to achieve that. looks to be some distance from each other at the moment. and what they want to get out of it varies usually. the nursing request is 5% above inflation and government said that is not realistic. but that is a starting point for negotiations but if the government does not want to

celeb for their particular brand of politics. and in some cases this has been very divisive and particularly unhelpful in others. it would be interesting to see whether the apology is accepted by supporters of ngozi fulani. and, indeed, whether supporters of lady hussey leave the apology was necessary in the first place. many peoplejumped apology was necessary in the first place. many people jumped to apology was necessary in the first place. many peoplejumped to her defence lady hussey to say that asking somebody where they are from is simply not the problem that others make it out to be. well, you only need to look at the lived experiences of many people were asked that questions i know that for those people it is usually, usually unhelpful to be asked such things. it can be hurtful and embarrassing and make you feel uncomfortable. and

simply excusing it because someone is a particular generation, i don�*t think is much of an excuse at all. and so that we have this line is drawn under it. and we will seek, as i say, if this does not close the matter. our weather, this is simply a, in a much longer discussion that the people are having on the nature of race. the nature of generational attitude in this country and things beside. fik attitude in this country and things beside. �* , ., ., ., ., ~' attitude in this country and things beside. �* , ., ., ., beside. ok let's have a look at the sto on the face of the independent. ministers report rules to protect asylum—seekers. what are they doing, lucy? asylum-seekers. what are they doing, lu ? , ., asylum-seekers. what are they doing, lu ? , . ., .. , , asylum-seekers. what are they doing, lu ? ,, ., lucy? they are limiting access to health care _ lucy? they are limiting access to health care and _ lucy? they are limiting access to health care and downgrading - lucy? they are limiting access to i health care and downgrading some lucy? they are limiting access to - health care and downgrading some of the legal— health care and downgrading some of the legal advice that some asylum—seekers might be able to have access— asylum—seekers might be able to have access to _ asylum—seekers might be able to have access to it _ asylum—seekers might be able to have access to it. they are also seeking to quadruple the amount of time that

the length of time in which they are sentence is not sufficient and that even given those sentences, people are allowed out under the terms of licence by taking. they are allowed out after serving half the term assuming they have behaved well while in prison. this does not sit well with the general public. but to address that is a hugely complicated issue for the legal system. i think what this does is highlight the fact that there is a disconnect between the law as it stands and public opinion. now, there are good reasons why you wouldn�*t want a following of public opinion when it comes to matters of sentencing a punishment but it doesn�*t get away from the fact that this is us a situation

where people would see a very bad man being allowed freedom. you could argue that someone in having served their time should be allowed their freedom and that is one of the strengths of the legal system and indeed our entire country. but it is still a very difficult issue. fik. still a very difficult issue. 0k. lucy take _ still a very difficult issue. 0k. lucy take us _ still a very difficult issue. 0k. lucy take us through - still a very difficult issue. ok. lucy take us through another royal story on the the daily express. hurt king still speaks seeks peace with harry. this is after the final netflix documentary of harry and megan this week. yes the fourth fifth and six episodes were regarded to be more explosive _ episodes were regarded to be more explosive than the first three. and even _ explosive than the first three. and even though the doctor series only dropped _ even though the doctor series only dropped yesterday, those episodes. there _ dropped yesterday, those episodes. there has— dropped yesterday, those episodes. there has been a sense of how with the palace — there has been a sense of how with the palace respond? would king charles— the palace respond? would king charles and prince william actually respond _ charles and prince william actually respond to very specific criticisms

but for now, goodnight. hello, i�*m paul scott at the bbc sport centre. heading into the world cup final weekend — fifa president gianni infantino says nothing has been decided when it comes to the format of the next world cup in 2026. the tournament in the usa, canada and mexico will be expanded to 48 teams. it had been suggested there will be 16 groups of three teams, but infantino says they may need to �*revisit�* those plans. here the groups of four have been incredible in the sense that until the last minute of the last match, you would not know who goes ahead. i think we have to revisit or at least re—discuss the format, whether we go for 16 groups of three or 12 groups of four. this is something that will certainly be on the agenda in the next meetings.

one team hoping to be back at the world cup in four years�* time is wales their manager rob page says he has �*mixed emotions�* about his team�*s performance in qatar. wales were competing in their first world cup finals since 1958, but picked up only one point from their three matches. we have a little bit of disappointment, i cannot lie. i think the levels of performance that we showed in the nation league against holland, belgium. i thought we fell below that and i think if we would have met those standards against the usa, which we did the second half, and certainly against iran and england first half. i thought we were very good and gifted them, you start the second half where you gift a team two goals there�*s only gonna be one outcome unfortunately. chelsea women eased into the champions league quarterfinals with a 4—0 win over albanain champions vllaznia shkoder. they were ahead inside 12 minutes through wales captain sophie ingle.

a quick free—kick led to fran kirby doubling their lead before the break. substitute keterina svitkova put the game to bed, before maren mjelde scored an injury time penalty. chelsea are now 1a games unbeaten in all competitions. leg—spinner rehan ahmed is poised to become the youngest man to play test cricket for england, after being handed a debut in the third test against pakistan, which starts tomorrow. the 18—year—old breaks the record of legendary yorkshire batter brian close, which has stood since 1949. ahmed and wicketkeeper ben foakes come into the side in karachi, in place of pace—bowler james anderson and all—rounder willjacks. england have an unassailable 2—0 lead in the 3—match series. i�*m just really excited to see when he�*s got the ball, and me and managers message was to take wickets with the ball and smack it with the bat and in the field,

chase after the ball until it goes for four but he was very excited when we told him he was making his debut and it�*s almost like it puts a smile on my face telling lads making their debut to see them so excited, because i remember being the young kid who was going to make the test debut and it took me back some years. well to another cricketing record now— the lowest score in men�*s t20 history. sydney thunder were dismissed for 15. as they were hammered by adelaide strikers in the big bash league in australia. sanny rudravajala has the story. were used to fireworks from australia�*s big bash league. the sydney showground would be something historic. sydney thunders stand would last the 2a and its, matthew gilks setting the tone out for zero and that will be one of not to with england�*s alex hales being the fourth wicket full or even four but five ducks as the thunder set about chasing down another
