translation: now we have information from our intelligence that the russian military has placed objects similar to explosives on the roof of several power units of the nuclear power plant. it's probable they need it to simulate an attack on the plant, or they could have some other kind of scenario. but in any case, the world sees and cannot avoid seeing that the only source of danger to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant power plant is russia, and no—one else. here in the uk, a service is under way at westminster abbey, marking the 75th anniversary of the national health service. it's among a series of events marking the milestone. but the occasion has prompted questions about its ability to survive in its current form into the future. three leading think tanks say the nhs won't reach its centenary unless there is significant investment. just before the ceremony began our correspondent ellie price spoke to two doctors who led an nhs team that brought children from ukraine to england

for vital cancer treatment. here's their story. it was last march. i was there following the russian invasion of ukraine. they were being evacuated to surrounding countries, principally poland. and there was a need for them to be moved to other countries throughout europe so that they could continue their treatment. and we were part of a group that moved a planeload of children from poland back to the uk. essentially intensive care on an aeroplane, that sounded like that can't have been an easy thing. correct. i mean, i think when we got the request for this, we didn't know anything about the patients who were moving. we didn't know their ages, how sick they would be. and obviously, these children had travelled through a war zone with cancer, some of them having had surgery recently, some of them have had chemotherapy recently. and so we were able to take a commercial aircraft and make it bespoke to become a mobile intensive care unit in the sky for 21 children.

no mean feat, i'm sure, i'm presumably learning on building on the stuff that you already knew from your time in the nhs? yes. and i mean, you're trained to deal with situations that are unexpected and this was more unexpected than most. but we knew what treatment pathways the children were on. we knew how to get them back onto them. it was the logistics of doing it and making sure that everybody was working together for it to happen across the nhs. i mean the queues are coming up behind us now. i mean, this is a big event today, isn't it? i mean a lot�*s made of the politics of the nhs criticism, controversy over how it's funded, how it works, that sort of thing. but today is really about the people. yeah, i mean, as we say in our testimonial actually this ukraine trip, although there was a small number of people that carried out the actual trip, this was possible because of the entire infrastructure of the nhs and the infrastructure is made up of the humans. the nhs is humans caring for humans and all the politics and everything else that goes with it is actually irrelevant when it comes to you looking after an individual patient.

you are looking after your patient as a human being. the riots which erupted in france last week appear to have subsided for now, but they've exposed deep divisions in french society. in marseille, where there were violent clashes over the weekend, people living in one of the city's most deprived neighbourhoods say they feel abandoned by politicians. 0ur correspondentjenny hill sent this report. in this divided country, a city of two halves. marseille's port is bright, bustling, cosmopolitan. but come to the northern districts and no—one's surprised that riots broke out. these neighbourhoods are notorious, deprived and dangerous. "it's like living in a bin," mado tells us. "it's not safe.

"people defecate in the lifts and stairwells." "for the politicians," she says, "we are nothing. "we are really nothing." 0mar tells us young people here struggle to find a job or training. and for many, drug dealing is a seductive choice. but it got amin�*s brother killed. his body was recovered, badly burned from the boot of a torched car. translation: this is the only | solution the young people have. there are no companies coming here and saying, "we'll pay you more than minimum wage." here people are supermarket cashiers or cleaners or security guards. we can't be judges, lawyers or accountants. and president macron knows it. he was here just before the riots to refresh his promise made two years ago to fix marseille. more money, more support. but amin�*s now met him twice and lost faith. translation: when macron comes, l he comes to make announcements, | not to listen to us. we are always in the same
11:12 am
mess, the same misery, and nothing will change. so i understand the anger of the young people. i don'tjustify the violence, but i understand it. the government is spending money on marseille's schools, public transport, police. it's just that people here haven't noticed a difference. this used to be a community police station. for some, perhaps, one of the last remaining physical links to the french state. no wonder so many here tell us they feel cut off, left to fend for themselves. and even the mayor of marseille acknowledges he needs to bring his city together. translation: for too long, my town has been divided i between people who are poor and people who are not, between those who are considered by the public authorities and those who are not.
