this is bbc news, i'm clive myrie. the headlines at 5pm... thousands of nurses in england, wales, and nothern ireland are taking part in their second 12 hour strike in less than a week — and call on the prime minister to sit down for talks. he can bring their strike to a conclusion before the end of this week. he owes that to this profession. he owes it to every member of the public in the country, so let's do it right now. we are keen to talk, we are engaging with the trade unions. if we get it wrong and we are still dealing _ if we get it wrong and we are still dealing with high inflation in a year's — dealing with high inflation in a year's time, i don't want to see that, _ year's time, i don't want to see that, want_ year's time, i don't want to see that, want things to get back to normah — that, want things to get back to normal. that's why having an independent pay process is an important part of those decisions and that's— important part of those decisions and that's why we've accepted those recommendations in full.

a 97—year—old former secretary at a nazi concentration camp, has been sentenced for complicity, in the killing ofjewish prisoners. jeremy clarkson�*s controversial newspaper column on meghan markle has prompted the highest number of complaints ever received by the industry's regulator. and the world cup has arrived in argentina — lionel messi and team have returned to rapturous crowds in buenos aires. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. members of the royal college of nursing in many parts of england, wales, and northern ireland, are on strike. it's their second day of industrial action, in a dispute over pay and conditions. urgent care isn't affected. the rcn says if there's no resolution before christmas,

more strike dates will be announced for next year. the prime minister told senior mps this afternoon he can't budge on nhs pay because he does not want to make soaring inflation worse.meanwhile ambulance workers go on strike in england and wales tomorrow. and those running institutions in the nhs are worried. in a letter to the prime minister, nhs chiefs in england say there is deep concern among care providers about the risk to patients during the walk—out. our correspondent, sanchia berg, has more details. what do we want? safe staffing! when do we want it? now! nurses have been out on picket lines again this morning. horns honk. members of the royal college of nursing, they say they are striking for the sake of the nhs and for its future. enough is enough! they say without higher pay, they cannot do theirjob properly. i love it, i love my patients, ijust wish i could care for them as i wanted to, rather than trying to cut myself

into four every shift. this strike affects the same areas as last week when it meant that in northern ireland at least 3200 appointments and procedures were postponed both in hospitals and the community. in england the strike only affected around one in four trusts and 16,000 hospital appointments did not happen. the welsh government says there was a significant impact with at least 2000 hospital procedures postponed. in scotland there was no disruption as nurses have paused industrial action to consider a new pay offer. the rcn can escalate this action to affect more areas and potentially last for months, but they say they want to sit down with the government as soon as possible. i won't dig in if they won't dig in, but they need to find a room and bring me into it. i am looking for that room every single hour of the day. the nurses have asked for a pay rise of i9%, that's the higher measure

of inflation plus 5%, but the government says that is not affordable and in any case, pay should not be negotiated directly with them. and as this deadlock continues, the nhs faces worse disruption tomorrow. paramedics are holding a national strike. ambulances will still respond to calls known as category one, where there is an immediate threat to life — for instance when someone has stopped breathing — but chest pain, for instance, might be category two and what happens depends on where you are. in parliament this morning the gmb union says its members had now agreed with most trusts what they would cover. life and limb cover will be provided. the last thing our members want to do is put patients in harm's way, but the reason we have ended up in a position of dispute now is because they feel they are prevented from delivering patient care.

nhs leaders are now so concerned they are writing to the prime minister, calling on the government and unions to bring a swift end to the dispute. we never want to alarm people but we have reached the stage where our leaders feel it is necessary to say that they cannot guarantee patient safety. they cannot avoid risks as these strikes unfold. they urged the prime minister to be prepared to negotiate about pay. up to this point, ministers have refused to do that. we are keen to talk, we're engaging with the trade unions. 0n pay, we have an independent process and we have accepted that in full. government ministers are due to meet the unions later today. sanchia berg, bbc news. 0ur correspondent rob sissons is on a picket line with striking nursing staff for us in nottingham.

city hospital three miles away, five nhs organisations in east midlands on strike. after lester and debbie, well, they didn't meet the threshold for the ballot, although the majority of people who took part did vote for strike action, there is a legal threshold to trigger strike action. those chairs are in response to beeping motorists they assume when there is a beat that it is in support, and there are plenty of those that drive pasture throughout the day. tomorrow, of course, the ambulance service strike. here in the east midlands there will be the gmb members going on strike, and real concern about the impact of that, the ability of the nhs to respond to urgent cases. some people have to make their way, we are told, to hospital themselves. where there are dire emergencies and no ambulance in the locality, i'm told that there will be an appeal to pickets, to come off the picket line and help out to protect life and limb in an emergency. no early end

in sight to this strike, these people here say they are determined to keep striking him or her representative they are of the broader base of the royal couege of the broader base of the royal college of nursing, we don't know, but they say are —— they say they are determined along with their colleagues to keep up the pressure to get a pay rise, a decent pay rise as they see it, which they insist the government can afford. they can't afford not to because people are leaving the profession they say through early retirements, cutting down there hours because of the stress of the job. it is a messy business. thank you for that. some of the striking nurses on that picket line in nottingham. well in the past few hours — the prime minister has been appearing before a group of senior mps — known as the liasion committee. he was asked about the nhs dispute — during this exchange with the conservative mp sir bernard jenkin. what would be your personal message this christmas to nhs workers and others who are taking strike action or contemplating strike action as we run up to christmas? i've always been very clear in expressing my gratitude

and admiration for our nhs workers, and indeed our public sector workers across the board for the job they do. i've acknowledged that it is difficult. it's difficult for everybody because inflation is where it is, and the best way to help them and to help everyone else in the country is for us to get a grip and reduce inflation as quickly as possible, and we need to make sure that decisions that we make can bring about that outcome. because if we get it wrong and we are still dealing with high inflation in a year's time, that's not going to help anybody. i don't want to see that. i went to see things get back to normal. and that's why having an independent pay process is an important part of us making those decisions and getting them correct. and that's why we've accepted those recommendations in full. rishi appearing before np is a little earlier today. in the past few minutes — the unison leader christian mcanea has just emerged from a meeting with the health secretary steve ba rcla ry about tomorrow's ambulance strike — here's what she had to say

so, the secretary of state recognises the pressures that ambulance workers are under, but there _ ambulance workers are under, but there is— ambulance workers are under, but there is no— ambulance workers are under, but there is no more money and no room for manoeuvre on pay. pay is the one thing we _ for manoeuvre on pay. pay is the one thing we have to talk about if we are going — thing we have to talk about if we are going to resolve this. and he has an— are going to resolve this. and he has an envelope and he will take back— has an envelope and he will take back the — has an envelope and he will take back the concerns to the prime minister— back the concerns to the prime minister into the chancellor, so no movement, — minister into the chancellor, so no movement, and the strike is definitely on tomorrow. what would ou sa the definitely on tomorrow. what would you say the meeting _ definitely on tomorrow. what would you say the meeting of _ definitely on tomorrow. what would you say the meeting of the - definitely on tomorrow. what would | you say the meeting of the secretary of state was? he you say the meeting of the secretary of state was?— you say the meeting of the secretary of state was? ., , . ., of state was? he was concerned about the strike. sympathetic _ of state was? he was concerned about the strike. sympathetic to _ of state was? he was concerned about the strike. sympathetic to ambulancel the strike. sympathetic to ambulance and other— the strike. sympathetic to ambulance and other health workers, but has no room _ and other health workers, but has no room for— and other health workers, but has no room for manoeuvre apparently, so... i room for manoeuvre apparently, so... i don't _ room for manoeuvre apparently, so... i don't know— room for manoeuvre apparently, so... i don't know where we go with us. i'm i don't know where we go with us. in a _ i don't know where we go with us. i'm a negotiator, my view as you go when _ i'm a negotiator, my view as you go when prepared to make some concessions, you go and prepare to talk about— concessions, you go and prepare to talk about the parameters within which _ talk about the parameters within which you — talk about the parameters within which you can make decisions, but we are not— which you can make decisions, but we are not giving — which you can make decisions, but we are not giving any room for manoeuvre on this, and therefore our

to the negotiating table and talk about pay. ministers have repeatedly said that, for example, they believe their door open for further talks, but those talks will be on other issues, like how to make the nhs a better place to where, for example, and things are bound conditions, but the unions really, really want to have that conversation about to pay, and if that doesn't happen, they are pretty clear that the strikes are going to go ahead and that more may well be coming down the line into the new year as well, and they could become more frequent, could become longer and more disruptive as a result as well. ministers are also digging their heels in, and we heard this both in the health secretary but also from the prime minister today, they are sticking to the line that we have heard time and time again, that they feel like these pay rises that have been sacked by an independent review process are fair and strike the right balance between value for the taxpayer, but also the need to retain staff, for example, in the nhs as well. the payments are certainly also doesn't think that it

is the right time to review that independent pay process as some colleagues of his had actually called for. the health secretary has also said that he doesn't think it's the right time to review the pay rises that have been set to because he thinks the next settlement is already well under way. it doesn't look at the moment like either side is willing to back down on this, but the question is what does this mean in terms of further contingency planning for the new year if that deadlock over this issue means more and more strikes to come?— deadlock over this issue means more and more strikes to come? because we know that the — and more strikes to come? because we know that the military _ and more strikes to come? because we know that the military aren't _ know that the military aren't exactly ecstatic about having to take up some of these duties. they feel that they are just being called upon without really they being any concerted effort to sort this dispute out in the first place. that's right. i think the military certainly want to be seen as a last resort in these kinds of cases. it shouldn't marry and hasn't really been something that is expected to

been something that is expected to be the norm where the military can just kind of fill in for striking workers. we know as well there are certain things in different sectors which the military can't necessarily do because they are not suitably trained up to do so. they can, of course, do certain tasks, but not fully replace the staff that are striking, and we know that there is still significant disruption that is expected. so tomorrow, for example, even though the military are stepping in to replace some of those ambulance services that are striking and help with driving certain vehicles, there is still widespread disruption expected, and that is why we are hearing today from some ministers like the governor saying that it's unprecedented, but to, it to it from a government essentially warning people with certain activities because of the risk of patient care being compromised is high according to both nhs process,

but also i think that is the fear of government ministers themselves, hence warning people not to make the necessary car journeys hence warning people not to make the necessary carjourneys or participate in any kind of high contact sport unnecessarily. these are warnings which feel pretty unprecedented, that shows the gravity of the situation which we are in at the moment.— gravity of the situation which we are in at the moment. sure, thank ou. live are in at the moment. sure, thank vou- live from _ are in at the moment. sure, thank you. live from westminster. - meanwhile, train drivers across 15 rail companies have announced fresh strike action on the fifth january. members of the aslef union will walk out in a long—running row over pay, with the union saying drivers voted overwhelmingly to take action. this latest strike comes between those already announced by the rmt union, which run between the 3rd and 4th, 6th and 7th of january. let's get more from our business correspondent theo leggett. first of all, are the strikes being coordinated? because quite clearly they are putting their strike right in the middle of the four days when the rmt are on strike, which means

effectively chaos for travellers over five days. effectively chaos for travellers overfive days. i effectively chaos for travellers over five days.— effectively chaos for travellers over five days. i think if it wasn't coordinated _ over five days. i think if it wasn't coordinated in _ over five days. i think if it wasn't coordinated in some _ over five days. i think if it wasn't coordinated in some way, - over five days. i think if it wasn't coordinated in some way, it - over five days. i think if it wasn't i coordinated in some way, it would over five days. i think if it wasn't - coordinated in some way, it would be a very remarkable coincidence, wouldn't it? as you say, in the first week in january after the christmas holidays, you've got 148 hours strike by rmt members. then you've got this day of strike action and another 48 hour strike by our rmt members working for network rail. as you say, there would have already been massive disruption during that week. that disruption will be even greater now. they are saying that on the wednesday no trains will be able to run on the lines affected, well, there wouldn't have been many and he begged me to be honest, because of previous strike action. so it does have the look of coordination to it, and to be fair, the disputes are not that dissimilar to enact a similar, they're not that different anyway. but they are asking for is more pay

for its members. what the rmt are asking for is also more pay for its members, but also more negotiation over proposed changes to working practices because network rail and the train companies want to change a number of working practices as well. the end result is we are already seeing chaos on the railways in december. that is definitely going to be chaos on the railways in early january unless a solution is found very quickly which looks extremely unlikely stop at the rmt�*s bob crow said just last week that he could see a way out of this, ending the misery of commuters and frankly those rmt members who are having to lose days pay when they go on strike. there was a bit of optimism there that perhaps something some kind of resolution could be found. are you suggesting that that is completely gone now? there was a bit of optimism, and i'm not saying it's completely gone now because i haven't been in the rooms where talks have been taking place. i haven't been privy to those phone

calls. i think what was said last week is that there was room for negotiation, that followed a meeting, remember, with the government minister in a room with the rmt, so there was kind of an olive branch there, but that did rely on the rail companies and network rail backing down on some of their plans for changing working conditions. at that time, he didn't say he was actually prepared to compromise as well. so we have yet to see the outcome of all of that. the fact that he has not walked in with its own proposal with strikes means that even if there were to be some kind of last—ditch compromise between the train companies, network rail and the rmt, you would still face disruption injanuary because not having train drivers for a day is inevitably going to cause chaos. indeed. 0k. it is of course mike lynch. thank you.

in what could be the last trial into nazi—era crimes in germany, a 97—year—old woman has been given a two—year suspended sentence, for complicity in the holocaust. irmgard foorkhner furchner, had worked as a secretary at a concentration camp, in what is now poland. prosecutors argued that by handling the camp commandant�*s correspondence, furchner facilitated an operation that killed 65,000 people. here's our diplomatic correspondent, caroline hawley. wheeled in to hear the verdict against her in what could be one of the very last holocaust trials. irmgard furchner, herface blurred by order of the court, a blanket over her lap. almost eight decades ago she was a typist in the camp, a secretary to the commandant. thejudge rejected her lawyer's argument that she didn't know about the killings and ruled she was complicit in the murder of more than 10,000 people. in all, over the course of the second world war an estimated 65,000 prisoners died in the stutthof camp in nazi occupied poland

in horrific circumstances. they were killed in its gas chamber, hanged and shot or succumbed to starvation and disease. irmgard furchner was only 18 and 19 at the time. she was tried in a special juvenile court, which, together with her age now, presumably accounts for the leniency of the sentence. the now 97—year—old had tried to evade justice, calling a cab from her care home at the start of the trial and going on the run before she was arrested. earlier this month, after 40 days of silence, she told the court she was sorry for what had happened and regretted being in the camp. but the prosecutor said her secretarial work had ensured the smooth running of the nazi machine there. modern germany is still grappling with the darkness of its past, the public prosecutor said this was a trial of outstanding historical importance, which serves as a record. it is also a message and a warning that complicity is a crime and the age of the perpetrator no impediment to the

pursuit of justice. caroline hawley, bbc news. hundreds of thousands of people are out inthe streets of buenos aires to welcome home the world cup winners. these are the scenes live . the team arrived back in argentina in the middle of the night and lionel messi posted these photos on instgram of him sleeping alongside the world cup trophy. their thrilling victory over france on sunday has widely been described as the best world cup final of all time. i'm joined now by matias zibell garcia from bbc mundo. good to see you and thanks for coming. i big day for the argentinians, coming. i big day forthe argentinians, isn't coming. i big day for the argentinians, isn't it? they haven't won this for quite a few years, not quite as long as england, of course,

board member, emma jones. good afternoon to you and thank you for being with us. can ijust ask what the procedure is here, because one wonders how on earth this article could ever have been published. would it have been read ijy published. would it have been read by an editor? would it have been screened by anyone else? how did it get into the paper in the first place? it get into the paper in the first lace? ., , , get into the paper in the first lace? ., , ., get into the paper in the first lace? ., , , ., ., , place? it absolutely would have been read b the place? it absolutely would have been read by the editor _ place? it absolutely would have been read by the editor and _ place? it absolutely would have been read by the editor and presumably i read by the editor and presumably their legal team would've taken a look at it as well. it should have gone through a very rigorous process, so you can only assume from that that the editor herself thought that that the editor herself thought that it was a good and reasonable article to put in her newspaper, even though that is the same editor who published stories quite recently about the late caroline flack, whose mother was talking about how yesterday only this sort of article,

she failed, contributed directly to the mental health and the subsequent decline in suicide of her daughter. that is the interesting thing, because in that netflix found, the duke and duchess of sussex, they make it clear that they have been hounded by the press and constantly hounded. and they refrain from what was fleet street, has that has not been the case that we are simply following legitimate news stories. this article from mr clarkson completely legitimises pretty much everything that duchess has said, doesn't it? it shows exactly the sort of scrutiny that she was under and for what reason. i think she makes that point in the documentary. what is the point of this? and why am i being used in this manner? she talks

about her own mental health issues and the fact she was suicidal as a consequence of the sort of stories. so one wonders why, with that knowledge, and editor would think it is a reasonable thing to do to publish this sort of story? 0r is a reasonable thing to do to publish this sort of story? or a column as it is. there seems to be there is no reasonable justification. but, of course, the sort of economists can write these things and these sort of things will start the tea cup for a few days and a no relief there won't be any repercussions was not because ipso standards were written in a way to protect these standards and written in a way there weren't any remedy and won't be a front—page apology. they simply state the story down and jeremy clarkson says it is clumsy. it's clumsy like him changing in a

car. his explanation for this baffles me quite frankly. saying you want to throw excrement as a woman in the street while she is paraded naked to a being crowd. speaks to me of a mediaevalform of punishment. and something that is completely out of touch in the way we think now. the sun has shown itself to be a renick if they think this is reasonable and acceptable now. edi reasonable and acceptable now. of the editor is not here to defend herself. 0f the editor is not here to defend herself. of course,. we would love to have her on the show. she wasn't asked about — to have her on the show. she wasn't asked about the _ to have her on the show. she wasn't asked about the story _ to have her on the show. she wasn't asked about the story on _ to have her on the show. she wasn't asked about the story on sunday - asked about the story on sunday which seems to be a very strange thing given this is something everyone was talking about. there is a strange relationship where everyone is scared of asking difficult questions to newspaper

editors. because they are frightened of the consequences of doing that. when you look at megan marquez treatment you can see exactly why they would be faring asking different questions.- they would be faring asking different questions. ipso has received more _ different questions. ipso has received more complaints - different questions. ipso has i received more complaints about different questions. ipso has - received more complaints about this article than any other in its history. what would you want to see ipso do? i history. what would you want to see ipso do? 4' history. what would you want to see ipso do? ~ , ., , ipso do? i think it is really good that -a ipso do? i think it is really good that party mts — ipso do? i think it is really good that party mts have _ ipso do? i think it is really good that party mts have mps - ipso do? i think it is really good that party mts have mps have i ipso do? i think it is really good - that party mts have mps have written to ipso for an expedition. i would also like to see the government and those mps have conversations as to why there isn't any legislation in place does stop this thing happen in question mark on the one thing i would like to see something happen governmentally stepped in terms of ipso i think the whole body is a sham. just yesterday the chair of

ipso was supposed to go to rupert murdoch house to have supper. this was only cancelled when the guardian expose the story and suddenly he ran away from it. and he's not going there. in my mind, that means it is not an independent body will stop costing up to rupert murdoch when you issue chair of an independent complaints body which is supposed to scrutinise the very thing he does makes absolutely no sense. it is laughable. so i am not expecting anything from ipso they will be just hoping this goes away. there might be some sort of mention, or some sort of committee formed where they talk about this very specific type of article. but, goodness me, talk about this very specific type ofarticle. but, goodness me, i would not be holding my breath. haste would not be holding my breath. we will leave it there. emma jones a

on bbc one tomorrow night. that's all the sport back to you clive. but chris it said young people could be put at risk. let's talk to our scotland correspondent who is in holyrood. is this legislation likely to go through the you think? i think it is auoin to go through the you think? i think it is going to _ to go through the you think? i think it is going to be _ to go through the you think? i think it is going to be a _ to go through the you think? i think it is going to be a long _ to go through the you think? i think it is going to be a long haul - it is going to be a long haul 153 amendments being discussed. in the chamber behind me so i think the msps might be here through most of this evening possibly till 10pm and possibly beyond. there was a bit of a delay so they are not far through the debate are as far through as

some of them had hoped to be. some of the msps had wanted to wait until a bit more time could be given to discuss the bill and discuss those 153 amendments. but some of the other msps said this bill had already been scrutinised quite significantly so they move on to discuss those amendments. the scottish government has said this legislation make it quickerfor trans people to change their legally recognised gender. some of the reasons they have given for that is that people will no longer need to provide a medical diagnosis or the two pieces of medical evidence to put in an application. they will also no longer need to live in their acquired genderfor it also no longer need to live in their acquired gender for it to also no longer need to live in their acquired genderfor it to peers. this will be reduced to three months. and after the application

there will be another three month period of reflection. 0ne there will be another three month period of reflection. one of the most controversial parts of this legislation has been the age. reducing the age of someone who can apply from 18 to 16. that is something that has been discussed in the chamber this afternoon. some msps concerned that 16 was too young to make that very significant life—changing decision. 0ther msps seen that 16 was an age. as part of an and agreed amendment, 16 and 17—year—olds will need to live in their acquired genderfor six months before making that application. so, i lots of the bait coming on behind me. and that is likely to continue for the next few hours. fik me. and that is likely to continue for the next few hours.— me. and that is likely to continue for the next few hours. ok thank you alexandra live _ for the next few hours. ok thank you alexandra live in _ for the next few hours. ok thank you

alexandra live in edinburgh. - for the next few hours. ok thank you alexandra live in edinburgh. more i alexandra live in edinburgh. more than a thousand drivers with easyjet were hit by flight delays because of severe weather. 0ur correspondent sean. severe weather. our correspondent sean. , ., , ., ., sean. tell us what is going on? it was almost _ sean. tell us what is going on? it was almost a _ sean. tell us what is going on? it was almost a christmas _ sean. tell us what is going on? it l was almost a christmas nightmare in the festive season sharp of the letters wanted to get back. severe weather has caused delays. we know that more than a thousand easyjet customers have been impacted wherever they fly but it is notjust easyjust wherever they fly but it is notjust easy just the fly from other airlines including iceland. iceland airlines including iceland. iceland air had warned last night on their site that there would be cancellations. there and easyjet had are among the sink they will do all they can for passengers. easyjet seen flights going to edinburgh and manchester among those have been impacted they are working to get

people home in the next few days but reimburse anyone going into hotels or meals. there was also a complication because the capital of iceland is 49 km or 30 miles away from the airport and the main road had been closed. that has a report reopened according to the airport operator. but their long—term car burke is disrupted. that clearing that has presented some difficulties. so everyone shoveling from that airport to the iceland capital should try by public transport. capital should try by public transport-— capital should try by public transport. sean thank you. travellers _ transport. sean thank you. travellers stranded - transport. sean thank you. travellers stranded in - transport. sean thank you. i travellers stranded in iceland because of bad weather is hope they make it home before christmas. more on the strike action. members of the royal college of nursing in many parts of england, wales, and northern ireland, are taking part in a second day of industrial strike action, in a dispute over pay and conditions. the rcn says if there's no movement on pay before christmas,

more strike dates will be announced for next year. to find out more about the public response to the strike action, i'm joined by professor sirjohn curtice, political analyst and professor of politics at strathclyde university. first mexico or it is good to see you as ever. where is the public on strengths? you as ever. where is the public on strenuths? ,, ., you as ever. where is the public on strengths?— strengths? short answer. divided. but they do _ strengths? short answer. divided. but they do distinguish _ strengths? short answer. divided. but they do distinguish between i but they do distinguish between different occupations or occupational sectors. certainly, of the various occupations on strike or threaten to go on strike it is nurses closely followed by ambulance workers who are the ones for whom there is greatest support. the latest book from new government should assess that two thirds of the public back the nurses including by the way, nearly half of those who voted conservative in 2019. in

contrast, at the other end of the spectrum one group that strikes but feeling very little support is the driving examiners. it is not the most popular of people. public do not back their strikes. in between are the postal workers and real workers. in between them the public are very divided from one pole to another. so the truth is some sectors are more popular with the public than others. that perhaps explains one of the many reasons why the strikes in the health service are the ones that are particularly of importance and concern. because this is probably the area where the government is in most difficulty. if you are mick lynch of the rmt. you should be a little bit more worried about public attitudes. and as a

result public support. and therefore, perhaps, the government might feel that it can be tougher in its negotiations? i might feel that it can be tougher in its negotiations?— its negotiations? i think that's a reasonable _ its negotiations? i think that's a reasonable supposition. - its negotiations? i think that's a reasonable supposition. but - its negotiations? i think that's a reasonable supposition. but the other side of that is that perhaps the one area where the government should be looking for a compromise is to do with the nurses and the ambulance workers. apart from the popular tour of their cause. two other reasons to give the government parts were thought. when people are blamed who is responsible for the strikes one area of the public is inclined to blame the government rather than the workers and unions is due to do with the strikes in the health service. and secondly, you should note those who are advocating the causes of the hud services are trying to link the wider issues of

inadequacy inadequacy in the hud services. it is a service where there is widespread public dissatisfaction. and the potential for the government is if this goes on and results in further reduction in the quality of the health service the public might feel it is part of a wider story, whereby at this government is not managing public services adequately. 0ne government is not managing public services adequately. one reason for caution for the nurses themselves, while still relatively popular, certainly one company which has been tracking the executor strikes has detected some decline in support for the nurses, so perhaps some advice for them to will be at some point to strike to strike a deal before the overplayed their hand. band strike to strike a deal before the overplayed their hand.— overplayed their hand. and it is art of overplayed their hand. and it is part of the _ overplayed their hand. and it is part of the concern _ overplayed their hand. and it is part of the concern for- overplayed their hand. and it is | part of the concern for members overplayed their hand. and it is - part of the concern for members of the public heightened by the fact that they may have a relative or be affected themselves as a result of the strike. and that can soften

to see you the queen's last ever artist—in—residence has said his "greatest sadness" is the fact she never saw his paintings. freddy paske was appointed by the queen to paint her platinum jubilee. and he painted this picture of her lying in state before her funeral earlier this year. she personally approved the honorary role after looking through samples of his artwork. let's have a look at some of the arwork the queen comissioned with the queen's last ever artist—in—residence himself, freddy paske. hello freddy paske good to see you. hi clive how are you doing. i am not too bad. the queen, clearly unable to see any of your work. yet she was the person who appointed you? that’s the person who appointed you? that's riuht. the person who appointed you? that's riht. it the person who appointed you? that's right- it seems _ the person who appointed you? that's right. it seems a _ the person who appointed you? that's right. it seems a shame _ the person who appointed you? that's right. it seems a shame that - the person who appointed you? “trust�*s right. it seems a shame that after this amazing year she hasn't been able to see the flame she started the stop which was this collection

collection to revolve around, essentially, three key equine institutions of the uk. the household cavalry, the royal news and the king street royal horse artillery. so we use that as a template for me to work around and build up the paintings and sculptures.— build up the paintings and scultures. . . , ., ., sculptures. and it was all part of the jubilee _ sculptures. and it was all part of the jubilee celebrations? - sculptures. and it was all part ofj the jubilee celebrations? exactly riuht. the jubilee celebrations? exactly riht. it the jubilee celebrations? exactly right- it all _ the jubilee celebrations? exactly right. it all revolves _ the jubilee celebrations? exactly right. it all revolves around - the jubilee celebrations? exactly right. it all revolves around the i right. it all revolves around the jubilee celebrations. the first one was the royal windsor horse show. which she famously made her appearance at. and then it rolled through to troop in colour and the jubilee procession. i then armed and awed a lot about doing something for herfuneral. because i was awed a lot about doing something for her funeral. because i was selected for artjubilee. her funeral. because i was selected forartjubilee. but afterspeaking for artjubilee. but after speaking to forartjubilee. but afterspeaking to a list of people for artjubilee. but after speaking to a list of people they convince me it was only right being her last

on a three—dimensional map of a tree, and that's converted into a solid model. this is the measure of each tree's volume, which scientists can use to calculate the amount of carbon that's locked into every inch of trunk and branch. this one was about 25 tonnes overall, of which about half of that will be carbon. we have more than almost 1,000 trees that will be nondestructively weighed here with laser and we found significantly more carbon storage in those trees, almost a factor two. wytham is a typical uk deciduous woodland in terms of the mix of tree species and age. of course, trees do much more thanjust store carbon, but what this study has done is put a whole new measure on the value that's locked into woodland like this. the researchers say, reveals just how vital our existing so protecting that value that you have in those large, old, mature trees is almost incalculable. so you should avoid losing it at almost any cost,

capturing detailed pictures of what's locked inside each tree, the researchers say, reveals just how vital our existing forests are in the fight against climate change. victoria gillick bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. for many of us some sunshine around with showers through the north and west of the country. showing weather watch pictures showing no showers. this is from denver sure in wales. it brings up schar not across just the england and wales the lines of shards have been in western scotland, close to the centre of air no pressure. 0vernight tonight there'll be more showers to come in england was you get this band of rain that develops and movies ways eastwards. temperature is mostly frost free three to 6 degrees
