a chinese phd student who is accused of drugging and raping ten women has been giving evidence at his trial. the prosecution told the court that 27—year—old zhenhao zou appeared

to be a smart and charming young man but was in fact "a persistent sexual predator, a voyeur and a rapist". mr zou denies the charges. the government says it has already met a key election pledge to boost the number of nhs appointments and procedures by 2 million in england in the first year in office. ministers say the target was achieved betweenjuly and november, compared with the same period in 2023. our health editor, hugh pym, has been looking at the figures. the procedure is literally in here, is it? yeah. so we do two sorts of procedures. more tests and procedures. the prime minister was seeing how it's done today at this community health facility in bristol. and he said a key election pledge for the nhs had been met, providing 2 million more nhs appointments for patients each year. between july and november 2023, there were 29.1 million treatments in england. this was lower than normal because of doctors' strikes. in the same months in 2024, there were 31.3 million.

ministers say they solved the doctors' dispute and that helped patients. whatever the stats might suggest, philip isn't happy. he's waited nine years for a knee replacement. we spoke to him last month and he was told the op would take place last friday, but it was cancelled once again. it's just the sheer frustration that you get yourself into a position to be ready to go for an operation, and then, in a phone call all of a sudden, it's cancelled.
