going to analyse some of the prime minister said. a reminder of the six milestones that he outlined, higher living standards with working people having more money in their pockets. building 1.5 million new homes. more police on the beat, stubbing out what he said was anti—social behaviour in all communities. given the best start in life every child, promising to ensure a record proportion a five—year—olds start school ready to learn. and clean power by 2030 was milestone five. finally milestones six was waiting lists in the nhs cut, the 18 week target finally met. hannah miller was listening to all of that. was there anything new in it, as far as you can see? we were expecting _ it, as far as you can see? we were expecting in _ it, as far as you can see? - were expecting in relation to raising living standards,

nhs and waiting lists being cut. 18 week target finally met. let's go to the newsroom and our health correspondent is there. this is a higher target for them to meet, isn't it? it for them to meet, isn't it? it certainly airs. it has been met for the best part of the decade. you have to go back to 2015 when the nhs was able to see the patients waiting for treatments within 18 weeks. currently, fewer than 60% of patients on the waiting lists have been waiting less than 18 weeks. the target is that to be 92%. so a long way to go. but while keir starmer has been talking about a long—term plan, we have just had figures about suggesting a more immediate problem for the nhs may be getting through this winter. we have had about rising delays,

bed occupancy rates in hospital at really high levels. the sort of levels 95% of beds occupied, that we see in the depths of winter and nhs that we see in the depths of winterand nhs and that we see in the depths of winter and nhs and would have been warning about rising cases of flu, along with continue pressure from covid and norrie virus is placing huge strain on the hospitals in the here and now. . ~' the hospitals in the here and now. ., ~ , ., y the hospitals in the here and now. ., ~ i. , . the hospitals in the here and now. ., , . a now. thank you very much. as he saw behind _ now. thank you very much. as he saw behind nick _ now. thank you very much. as he saw behind nick on _ now. thank you very much. as he saw behind nick on the _ now. thank you very much. as he saw behind nick on the bbc - now. thank you very much. as hej saw behind nick on the bbc news website, there is an article up about those latest figures in england and wales. sir keir starmer�*s third milestone was what he described as safer streets, more police on the beat stamping out what he said would be anti—social behaviour in all communities. let speak to zoe bellingham, who is a former her majesty's inspector of constabulary. thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news. i wondered what you made of this milestone on policing? it's not a new initiative by

any means but it is really welcome because what we have seen over the last decade is an erosion of neighbourhood policing. in some areas, it has gone completely. so you don't have your bobby on the beat, there is no one around who will tangle anti—social behaviour, deal with children who may be excluded from schools, spiralling into crime. clearly this needs to be resourced and it is notjust a job for the police alone for that there are also partners like local authorities so while it is a great aspiration, there is a lot to be done to make sure it is actually delivered. fin lot to be done to make sure it is actually delivered.- is actually delivered. on that live , is actually delivered. on that livery. one — is actually delivered. on that livery. one of— is actually delivered. on that livery, one of the _ is actually delivered. on that livery, one of the things - is actually delivered. on that livery, one of the things is i is actually delivered. on that livery, one of the things is a | livery, one of the things is a name contactable officer and every community. does that mean we will get a phone number where we can rent our local bobby and say, i have got anti—social behaviour around my home, do the thing about it —— ring? i home, do the thing about it -- rinr ? ., �* ~' home, do the thing about it -- rina? .,�* ~' home, do the thing about it -- rina? .,�* ~ ., ring? i don't think so and if that is the _ ring? i don't think so and if that is the expectation, -

ring? i don't think so and if. that is the expectation, then ring? i don't think so and if i that is the expectation, then i think i need to be dampened down full support we do need in our local neighbourhoods as named officers who work in our area, know the score is, the shops, know where the trouble is happening. there needs to be a really responsive way that the public can get in touch with the officers quickly, not in an emergency, of course. but where you have got things like anti—social behaviour or graffiti and stuff like that. so rather than a phone number, you do need to have a contact e—mail, perhaps, an ability to get in touch and most importantly and this is the key, that these police officers come back to you, they understand your concern, they sort it out and i tell you that they have got things done. [30 they have got things done. do ou they have got things done. do you think that the government is going to be able to recruit the number of offices that it needs to put this plan in place? i needs to put this plan in lace? ., ., , ~' place? i do, actually. ithink what is important _ place? i do, actually. ithink what is important to - place? i do, actually. ithink. what is important to recognise is around 10,000 officers were taken out of neighbourhoods over the last decade. policing

is a great profession and i know police forces are working really hard to be very clear with people what policing is about and for some people, working in their local communities, nipping crime in the bud, stopping anti—social behaviour spiralling out of control, that is an absolute vocation. so i don't see there being any difficulty recruiting to these posts. what i do is your difficulty with its police force is being able to afford them because the 100 that is on a table at the moment is not sufficient and i think it is really important that they don't then get extracted from those neighbourhoods, those wards, those localities, to do other policing tasks when the government gets really stretched. they must be anchored in communities. i think the great initiative but they must make sure that it works. ~ . they must make sure that it works. . ., ., they must make sure that it works. ~ ., ., ., ~ works. what about the paperwork that will be _ works. what about the paperwork that will be involved in _ works. what about the paperwork that will be involved in all - works. what about the paperwork that will be involved in all of - that will be involved in all of this. is there a lot of this that slows down officers in actually go into the local community to be seen patrolling

because they are often stuck in offices doing paperwork? i offices doing paperwork? i think previously it is because they have been deployed to other tasks. so the paperwork is a bit of the red herring but what they do need to do is have a very clear task, so they know what they have to do everything all day. they don'tjust go around seeing what happens. they have what intelligence about where their crime hotspots are, so they prevent crime happening in the first place and they get to know their community. they are into schools, go into care homes, so that they know about the kids that they know about the kids that are repeatedly missing. they work with shopkeepers about shoplifting forceps are they really are the bedrock of our communities. there is no community in the world that stops our police officers do that. . ~ stops our police officers do that. ., ,, , ., stops our police officers do that. ., ~' , ., , stops our police officers do that. ., ,, i. , . stops our police officers do that. . ~ , . ., that. thank you very much for “oininr that. thank you very much for joining us _ that. thank you very much for joining us in — that. thank you very much for joining us in bbc— that. thank you very much for joining us in bbc news. - that. thank you very much for joining us in bbc news. if- that. thank you very much for joining us in bbc news. if youj joining us in bbc news. if you havejust joining us in bbc news. if you

2030 and waiting lists in the nhs would be cut and that 18 week target finally met. you can get more on that on the bbc news website and app. live from london, this is bbc news. french prime minister michel barnier leaves the elysee palace, having tendered his resignation. find a new president fast amidst france's deepening chaos. south korea's ruling party says it will not vote to remove the president, after his abortive attempt to bring the country under martial law. people are gathering in the capital to demand his resignation. �*country first, party second' — the uk's prime minister unveals his �*plan for change', setting out pledges on extra police officers, more house—building and fixing the health system.
