the health secretary steve barclay says progress is being made on eliminating long waits — of over 18 months — and said that industrial action was the main reason for today's figures. well, the 52—week waits overall are just slightly down from where they were at the start of the year. and there are some areas which have already eliminated their 52—week waits, if i think of of maidstone or calderdale, for example. so, so it's variable. but i absolutely because of the industrial action, the overall volume of people waiting on the waiting lists is a significant challenge. and that's why we're investing more in our winter preparation. it's why we're investing more in our diagnostic capacity. here's our health correspondentjim reed. a big political issue across the uk, but particularly in england at the moment, because one of rishi sunak, the prime minister's big pledges, is to start to reduce waiting lists in england. the overall waiting list, as you just outlined, really clearly keeps going up at the moment. so 7.7 million people are waiting for what's called

consultant—led treatment. now, that could be an operation. it could be they've gone to their gp and the gp said, look, this is too complicated for me to look at. you need to go to hospital to see a specialist. so they could be on the waiting list for diagnosis, for an appointment to talk about their problem or for an operation at the end of that process. butjust to put this in context, 7.7 million people is one in every seven people in england. so you can see why this is a big political issue across notjust england, but the rest of the uk as well, where waiting lists have also been very high and rising. the government says an extra £200 million is being put in to help deal with this, to help deal with winter pressures as the nhs starts to get into that period, november, december, january, which is often very difficult for doctors and nurses because more people come forward with colds, with bugs, more slips and falls in the winter and that kind of thing as well, which is why you're seeing this pledge today for an extra 200 million in england.

i should say that when you look at the statistics on this, the government say that a lot of this is about industrial action. we've had junior doctors and more senior consultant doctors on strike in august at the time that this data was taken. but actually, when you look at a graph for the overall waiting list in england, it was going up well before the pandemic hit in 2020. then there was a sharp increase over that pandemic period, and then the number seems to still be ticking up, not at quite the same pace, but still be rising. the government says it has had some success and the nhs is saying this as well. are reducing the longest wait. so those are waiting more than two years those those who are waiting more than 18 months. but overall this waiting list is still going up and that is proving to be quite a difficult political issue for the government with an election around the corner probably next year in across the uk. a london based charity has warned some parents are planning to dress children in coats and hats indoors and overnight this winter

in a bid to keep them warm. the little village charity, which runs a baby bank network, says parents are struggling with the cost—of—living crisis and a survey of 500 parents in london found nearly half said they'll need to cut back on essentials to pay for heating. a third said they'll resort to dressing their children in outdoor clothing while indoors. a new nature reserve in the east of england has been given the go ahead after £1 million worth of fundraising. suffolk wildlife trust will create martlesham wild, on the banks of the river deben. its 300—acre site will be left fallow to create a space for nature to recover. now it's time for a look at the weather chris fawkes. hello. we've got quite a mixture of weather to take you through the rest of this afternoon for scotland and northern ireland. it stays quite windy, sunny spells and a few passing showers. the south of england, in contrast, will be dry with some sunshine between for wales and the midlands into parts of lincolnshire.

we've got this weather front bringing outbreaks of rain and the front trails all the way out into the atlantic to a developing area of low pressure that is then set to strengthen and move towards spain and portugal, bringing some severe storms there. at the same time, it will flick some warm air across england and wales for tomorrow and will also control how much rain that we see into the week and beyond. back to today's weather, though. this weather front stretching across wales, the midlands, lincolnshire. it will turn the rain a bit heavier as we go on through the afternoon, potentially getting across north wales into north west england. sunny spells and showers for scotland and northern ireland, south of england, parts of east anglia, warm sunshine, perhaps feeling a little on the humid side as well. now as that low pressure starts to develop overnight and works towards portugal, we start to get some milder air moving in across england and wales. so temperatures about 11 to 1a degrees. but at the same time, we'll see the rain band extend across northern england, reaching further northwards into parts of northern ireland and southern scotland. that process continues. then on into friday the rain could be quite heavy at times as well.

so the south of that it's largely dry and sunny. but this weather front also separates what will be relatively cooler across the north of the uk, with temperatures about 13 to 15 degrees from the increasingly warm air that we'll have across england and wales, 22 to 25 degrees celsius with a rather humid feel to the weather as well into the weekend. that low pressure will start to throw a few showers in across southern areas of england, perhaps into parts of wales too. few of the showers could be heavy and thundery start off with some damp weather across scotland and northern england that should ease through the day and the weather will turn brighter and drier through the day across scotland and northern ireland. temperatures there still a little bit below par, 1a to 16 degrees, potentially pretty warm across the southeast, 26 celsius by sunday. we're looking at showers and thunderstorms probably merging together to give some longer spells of heavy rain. the question mark is just how far north that gets. it could even reach as far north as parts of scotland through sunday. so we'll keep a close eye on that.

could be heavy enough to cause a few issues as well. live from london. this is bbc news. most of the thousands of deaths in the libya floods could have been avoided say the un's weather experts. fresh aftershocks shake morocco.
