high street pharmacies in england will be able to start prescribing medicine for some minor illnesses such as earaches and sore throats under a new government plan. ministers hope it will take the pressure off busy gps and free up millions of appointments for those who most need them. the move brings pharmacies into line with scotland and wales but there concerns about how they'll cope with the extra demand. joining me now is the chair of the national pharmacy association nick kaye from hendra's pharmacy in cornwall. thanks forjoining us. it is a thanks for “oining us. it is a workin: thanks forjoining us. it is a working pharmacy - thanks forjoining us. it is a working pharmacy in - thanks forjoining us. it is a working pharmacy in the . thanks forjoining us. it is a - working pharmacy in the background and you might see people in the background wondering about but that is real life! ., ., is real life! thanks for the morning- _ is real life! thanks for the morning. what _ is real life! thanks for the morning. what you - is real life! thanks for the morning. what you make | is real life! thanks for the l morning. what you make of is real life! thanks for the - morning. what you make of the is real life! thanks for the _ morning. what you make of the new plan? it morning. what you make of the new ian? , ., ., ., plan? it is great to have new investment _ plan? it is great to have new investment for _ plan? it is great to have new investment for new - plan? it is great to have new investment for new money l plan? it is great to have new. investment for new money and plan? it is great to have new- investment for new money and new service and that's the thing we are keen on today. the fact that we are not asking to do more stuff in the same funding, because community pharmacies have had no increase in funding now for five years so the devil is in the detail but we are

yolande knell has more. they carried out these strikes in the morning in the early hours and three of the leaders of this group were killed as well as weapons manufacturing sites targeted, and one of the leaders they said was responsible for islamichhad operations in the occupied west bank although he was based in gaza and the other was responsible for a lot of the rocket fire we have seen coming out of the gaza strip in the past month. both last week in the response to the death of the palestinian prisoner in the israeli jail who was on hunger strike, he was a member of islamichhad himself and there was also rocket fire during ramadan following an israeli raid on a mosque. at least 13 people have been killed and four

of the dead were men including these three leaders and also a dentist and a civilian who live close to one of them who was killed and the remainder of the dead are the wives and children of those men. the funerals are now taking place and israel is bracing itself for some kind of retaliation with islamic jihad saying it will avenge its leaders and that it's because the efforts of mediators at this point. —— that efforts of mediators at this point. -- that it efforts of mediators at this point. —— that it scorns the efforts. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. max has raised eight guide dogs. spencer was with herfor max has raised eight guide dogs. spencer was with her for less than a year but covid restrictions posed a problem and the dog was not able to meet its new owner. spencer has now been his lifeline. the bbc programme reunion hotel contacted maggs and

businessmen in the uk, a city grandee who has appeared regularly on the airwaves. he was the president of the cbi between 2018 and 2020 and he is currently the chair of tesco, the biggest supermarket in britain. this morning the guardian published a report on allegations of inappropriate and unprofessional behaviour byjohn allen. firstly, he allegedly touched the bottom of a senior member of tesco staff at the agm lastjune and that he did the same thing again with a member of staff at the cbi, at its annual dinner in may 2019, when he was president. mr allen has strongly denied inappropriate touching. tesco said in a statement it had not received any complaints formally or informally about the conduct ofjohn allen including through its confidential

protector line service. they noted his strong denial, that he had never been the subject of a complaint since his tenure in charge of tesco. there were also claims of several inappropriate remarks made at the cb! and allen has admitted making a comment to a female work in 2019 about a dress suiting herfigure. a spokesman forjohn allen said in relation to that claim, he said he was mortified after making that comment and he immediately apologised. the person involved agreed the matter was closed and no further action was taken. but regarding the other claims, they are simply untrue. to tech now and the growing impact of artificial intelligence. as apple co—founder steve wozniak has told the bbc he believes ai is going to make scams and misinformation harder to spot,

voicing fears the technology may be harnessed by "bad actors". he's been speaking to our technology editor zoe kleinman. the trouble is, al is so intelligent, it is open to the bad players, are they trying to sell you something you don't want or trying to trick you to get your account information? we see malicious intrusions all the time, companies that get intruded and millions of accounts get exposed, that is only, i would expect that to become worse than it is now. do you think regulators are going to get it right this time nearer to the beginning? i don't think so at all. i think the forces that drive for money compared to the forces that drive for caring about us, for love, for feelings, for emotions, i think the forces that drive for money usually win out, you know. it's sort of sad. if you were in charge of regulating ai, what would you do? anything published with al,

you as a reader should be told it was created by ai, and the person who posts it and even the massive global broadcast media that posts it should have some responsibility. do you think that al is a trend or that it will be the big game changer? i think it will get better in what it is able to do and hopefully we finally agree on regulations that basically say, "you do the bad things, you're out of line, "you are punished." especially to the big companies that feel they can get away with anything.

amazon is offering customers a $10 discount to pick up a purchase rather than have it shipped to a home address, as the e—commerce giantjoins other retailers in cutting costs for home delivery and returns. the company has been emailing a number of prime subscribers over the last few days offering them $10 to retrieve an order of $25 or more, at company pick—up points. that's the latest from business. you're watching bbc news. high street pharmacies in england will be able to start prescribing medicine for some minor illnesses such as earaches and sore throats under a new government plan. ministers hope it will take the pressure off busy gps and free up millions of appointments for those who most need them. the move brings pharmacies into line with scotland and wales but there concerns about how they'll cope with the extra demand. our health correspondent reports. you could be waiting weeks and weeks and weeks just for an appointment. it's quite disheartening, really. it is, it's disappointing i think it's the word. .

but it's everywhere. it's our nhs that's - supposed to be so good. portsmouth, one of the worst places to get a gp appointment. here, the number of patients for each doctor is the second highest in england and, like many areas, services are on their knees. it feels like a tsunami of need that is coming through to us and it feels quite demoralising that we are not managing to meet that need. in portsmouth and surrounding areas they say they are short of gps by about 50%. the government have set plans to increase gp numbers but they are notjust not on course to reach those figures, gp numbers have actually fallen further. today, the government promised to improve gp services under new plans. £645 million will be spent over two years to allow pharmacists to prescribe antibiotics for conditions including earache, sore throats and urinary tract infections.

and they'll double the number of blood pressure checks they carry out. patients will be able to book physiotherapy and podiatry services without going through a doctor. new phone systems will be offered to some gps and training for receptionists to direct calls to a range of services, including physios and nurses. the announcement today is getting on with this, it is about primary care and expanding services and also investing in surgeries to end the 8am scrabble. —— scramble. in terms of extra work for pharmacists, the pharmacy here in birmingham says they are under too much pressure already. they are under too much pressure alread . . . they are under too much pressure alread . ., , ., ., already. pharmacies have undergone man cuts already. pharmacies have undergone many cuts and _ already. pharmacies have undergone many cuts and they _ already. pharmacies have undergone many cuts and they actually - already. pharmacies have undergone many cuts and they actually run - already. pharmacies have undergone

for many people hoping to buy their first home, a deposit is the biggest barrier to getting the keys to the front door. skipton building society is dropping that requirement, and unlike other deposit—free mortgages they don't need a relative or friend to guarantee the payment. for charlotte hartwell from nottingham the deposit has been an impossible barrier, even though she is on a decent salary. if i want to buy a house i've got to spend nothing from my salary for a year in orderjust to buy a house in my local area, and that's not going to happen, it isn't practical. it does feel impossible. so having something like this does really give you a sense of hope. skipton is charging 5.49% for these mortgages over a five year fixed term, that's higher than average, and repayments can't be more than your rent. so if you are currently paying £1000 a month you will be limited to borrowing £186,000. what's really, really important for anybody that's looking to enter into a massive financial contract which, let's be clear,

a mortgage is that exactly, that it's really, really responsibly done, so what we are wanting to do here is make sure this is absolutely affordable and the right choice and the right decision for the borrower and for the lender. skipton admits this new mortgage won't help everyone, but it could offer a glimmer of hope for some. ben king, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. we've seen some sunshine coming through today which has led to temperatures rising, which in turn has led to showers breaking out. and really through the next few days, we'll keep this mixture of sunny spells and heavy showers and some thunderstorms likely as well. and actually the met office have issued yellow thunderstorm warnings for this part of the uk. there could be as much as 20 or 30 millimetres of rain falling from those heavy showers and some hail in there as well. not only some downpours across this part of the uk, but we've got some sunshine elsewhere and some sharp showers. although western scotland, northwest england and wales may be turning drier towards the end of

the afternoon, temperature wise, peaking at 17 or 18 degrees once again. now, a lot of the showers will fade away this evening, but they'll keep going into the night across the far southeast and east anglia, although they will become lighter. and then later in the night, we've got more cloud piling in from the atlantic, bringing more showers to northern ireland, western scotland and over the irish sea. clearer skies ahead of that and temperatures could be as low as seven or eight degrees in the morning. but we should start dry from any eastern areas with some sunshine, but we'll see the cloud increasing and showers will develop widely once again, the threat of some thundery ones, this time across the more eastern parts of england, perhaps into eastern scotland. here, temperatures could reach 18 degrees before the downpours, but it will be quite a bit cooler, i think, in western scotland and northern ireland where we're going to find a lot of cloud wrapping around that area of low pressure. that's going to then come to rest across the uk as we move into thursday. away from the far southwest of the uk, the winds are going to be light. so once the showers get going once

again, as the heat builds during the day, so the showers will be heavy and thundery and also slow moving. not so many showers in northeast scotland because there'll be a lot of low cloud once again and probably not so many showers in northern ireland, although here we should see more in the way of sunshine. temperatures around 16 degrees. things look different towards the end of the week. it's turning drier. we've got high pressure building in from the atlantic and that will mean most places will be dry on friday. still got a lower pressure moving into central europe and we're just on the edge of that across east anglia and the southeast so there could be some showers here. quite a chilly wind blowing in off the north sea, bringing in a lot of cloud, the best of the sunshine for the western side of the uk where temperatures will be back up to around 18c.
