5:42 pm
challenge. some of them haven't been met for eight years, so he talked about reform for renewal. he says the nhs needs to change and he highlighted three key priorities. he described the neighbourhood health service, moving care out in the community with more gp. he talked about healthy life expectancy. we see a gap in the numbers between the richest and poorest areas in the country. there were policies such as a ban on junk country. there were policies such as a ban onjunk food appetising. —— advertising. we know how apps and digital technologies have revolutionised the way we shop, the way we watch television, and he wants the same to happen in the nhs. the app is something patients use to
5:43 pm
book appointments and to interact with the health service. he says by making those changes, we'll make the nhs fit for the future and able to hit those challenging target is. tell us a little more about the timeline. anything around cost? the timeline. anything around cost? tte: commitment is over the course of the next parliament, but what we've heard today is what labour and the other parties have been talking about for many years. the tories pointed out that labour are in power in wales and have failed to do some of the very things that sir keir starmer has been talking about today. in terms of funding, this is a big unanswered question. labour did not set out how much investment it would make in the nhs over the course of the next parliament. they say they can't do that until near the general election. the tories must be said, haven't set out how they will increase investment, so i
5:44 pm
think people want to know about funding and those questions will keep coming back to both political parties — just how much they need to put into the health service. hick put into the health service. nick trir rle, put into the health service. nick triggle. who _ put into the health service. nick triggle, who was _ put into the health service. nick triggle, who was listening to that speech, thanks very much. we'll keep an eye on that story if there's any more development. let's turn to space in those pictures we were seeing earlier. it has docked with the... of breast cancer specialist is accompanied by her fellow saudi, a fighter pilot. they launched from cape canaveral yesterday, and do to spend a ten days aboard the space
5:45 pm
station. we spoke to her about what faces new astronauts when they arrive at the space station. it's a hugely exciting time, and imagine a saudi female. what news is that for saudi arabia and the world? only driving then less than five years in saudi arabia and i think is a clear signal that they want to encourage women in their society, this gender—neutral crew. the back—up crew was also a man and a woman, so they really wanted to make sure they have somebody from both genders up there showing what people can do, as well as doing the science. and rayyanah barnawi, a

5:48 pm
then, if that same criminal can later steal the phone, it can be game over. detective superintendentjohn roach says he's confident the technology behind the apps is secure, but the weak point criminals are getting better at exploiting, human behaviour, is not. if you take that out, on a night out let's say as you suggest, without the right precautions and protections round it, you are essentially walking around with a bag of cash, and if you start to think about it like that, would you go into a bar and put the bag of cash on the bar and turn your back on it? probably not. when this man was pick pocketed on a night out last year and had his phone stolen, he was annoyed, but didn't think more of it — until he woke up the next morning and learned £22,000 had been stolen from his bank accounts. i was completely frightened. it was sort of alarming to see all your hard—earned money taken away from you, i was in complete shock, how it could have happened, and the fact it happened to me just felt like i was superunlucky. felt like i was super unlucky. 90% of adults in the uk have a smartphone, so the advice
5:49 pm
from police if you want to avoid being a victim of mobile phone fraud is this. number one, if you use a pin or pass code to unlock your phone, make sure you use a different one to open up the banking and financial apps inside your phone. numbertwo, neverstore a pin or pass code on your phone. if criminals get hold of it, they will search it and they will find them. number three, always be aware of your surroundings when you are using your mobile, especially if you're doing online banking. there's lots more advice in an article on the bbc news website and the hope from police is, the more of us that follow it, the fewer opportunities criminals will have to carry out what can be such a devastating crime. dan whitworth, bbc news. the bbc�*s correspondent has revealed she has a devastating wind condition, living with constant pain that became so acute that she has to scream. a flare up over the weekend was so bad, her husband called an
5:50 pm
ambulance. 0ne was so bad, her husband called an ambulance. one in ten women is thought to have the condition that can often go undiagnosed. this is what she's told bbc radio 5 live earlier. ., ., , , earlier. right now, as i sit here talkin: earlier. right now, as i sit here talking to you. _ earlier. right now, as i sit here talking to you, i'm in _ earlier. right now, as i sit here talking to you, i'm in pain. i talking to you, i'm in pain. constant nagging pain in my uterus, around my pelvis, sometimes down my thighs. and i'll have some level of pain for the entire show and for the rest of the day until i go to sleep. every so often, it becomes a stabbing pain. it takes my breath away and i can do nothing but sit with it for a minute or curl up to cope. i'm in pain, buti with it for a minute or curl up to cope. i'm in pain, but i have something called adeno meiosis. you probably haven't heard of it, i hadn't earlier. after decades of painful heavy periods, periods that made me pass out, sweat, cry, moan, groan, curled up in a tight ball, having to sleep on the towel. i set

5:52 pm
gardens. this is a garden for the samaritans charity, and he's being shown around by the garden designer. there are some from the world horticultural society. he's taken a real interest in these gardens. he's very interested in nature. we know that about ecology, so he's looking at the plant, perhaps getting a few tips for his own garden. he's making his way round of the moment. the queen is also here and she has gone off in a separate direction. we just think he's going to come out of the back of this garden. might be having a little sit down on that bench at the moment. this is one of the gardens that looks very wild and natural, doesn't it, matthew, and it's really a representation of a struggle with mental health. it gets
5:53 pm
a lot calmer and more speech full —— peaceful full what you can't see in front of me, i could see lots of photographers taking photos of the king here. it's believed he's going to stop off at a garden in tribute to his mother, and it's also a garden that features a gorilla habitat. he's very interested in conservation, so we think he could possibly stop off at the garden. lots of really nervous and excited gardner's hopefulfor a royal visit. when the princess of wales came earlier, she took a real interest as well. she was chatting to the gardeners, telling them about what her children did in the garden. she said prince louis was growing vegetables and she tried to get in
5:54 pm
the garden herself. she's always been —— it's always been very associated with the royal family, and we really seen that. we've all seen other members of the family that have popped along for a look as well, and the king isjust leaving that garden at the moment. he's going to see some more show gardens. that was quite exciting. i didn't think i would be doing a live today where the king was behind me! perfect timing. in one of them, a bronze statue in the king, and you are mentioning a garden in tribute to the late mother. had stood features some of the plants and one that are grown
5:55 pm
earlier. that's a moment for the reflection of the relationship of the queen and the chelsea flower show. she would go down here, she went down on a golf buggy and she was very passionate about that. i think her son is taking it on as well. he's keen to get involved. charlotte, aood to keen to get involved. charlotte, good to talk _ keen to get involved. charlotte, good to talk to _ keen to get involved. charlotte, good to talk to you _ keen to get involved. charlotte, good to talk to you again. i keen to get involved. charlotte, i good to talk to you again. thanks for taking us through that, a little glimpse of the royal tour that's already started. that's about it from the programme. thanks so much for watching. from the programme. thanks so much forwatching. lewis from the programme. thanks so much for watching. lewis is here to take
5:56 pm
you through the next couple of hours. thanks for watching and i hope we'll see you at the same time. bye—bye. hello. many of us have seen quite a lot of sunshine today, and in that sunshine, it felt quite warm. there is more of the same to come — some spells of warm sunshine through the rest the week. certainly, it is going to be staying largely dry, but there'll be some areas of cloud around at times as well, and actually, that cloud produced some splashes of rain across parts of southeastern scotland, northeast england. there was another area of cloud across parts of eastern england that brought a few showers. and then, also on the satellite picture, you can see this zone of cloud pushing towards northern ireland and scotland. initially, this will be quite high cloud, so we will see some areas of cloud through the night. an old weather front sinking down into parts of east anglia, the midlands, southern england — that could give the odd spot of drizzle, but broadly speaking, it's a drier night with variable cloud, clear spells, temperatures typically 6—10 degrees.
5:57 pm
it mayjust get a little chillier than that briefly in one or two places. into tomorrow, high pressure's still with us, the high centred out in the atlantic, but extending its influence towards our shores. frontal systems, though, running across the top of the high, introducing more cloud into northern and northwestern parts of scotland, maybe northern ireland, too. could just be the odd spot of rain or drizzle. further south into england and wales, sunny spells, bit of patchy cloud bubbling up to the afternoon and a very small through the afternoon and a very small chance of catching a shower, but the vast majority staying dry. 11 degrees for lerwick, 20 for cardiff — it is going to be a slightly cooler day for some, but whatever the temperatures are doing, if there is sunshine overhead, uv levels are likely to be moderate or high — the sun is strong at this time of year. into wednesday, there will be more of that strong sunshine, particularly across england, wales. northern ireland and scotland seeing a band of cloud, maybe some patchy rain, but it is largely going to be dry. slightly warmer, actually — 21 for newcastle, cardiff, london, 18 in belfast and 17 in glasgow.
