so that shouldn't particularly require any years and yeah. i agree with you there are complicated. solutions and issues to be resolved but the most progressive solution that's been presented is to take the actual financial instrument at the heart of it into to take that back into public hands and that would help to then restructure or abolish that that the word a very dangerous point which is that we are seeing a situation now where whole chunks of the n.h.s. are basically being carved up to then potentially hand over ten to fifteen year multibillion pound contracts for health and social care for whole regions sometimes to u.s. corporations to say we've already seen or not to bring about this transition contract nearly three million pounds has been handed over to the u.k. arm of a major us health insurance seventeen u.k. and to capita to bring about this transition towards accountable care which is a u.s. health care concept used in medicaid which is their kind of threadbare safety net for the poorest people who can afford insurance that's certainly not
10:01 am
a model that we want to bring over here in the usual gait thank you after the break we speak to n.h.s. intensive care nurse jackie barry an award winning activist and last about the headlines on the flat lines of the n.h.s. at seventy. and twenty four do you know bloody revolution of. the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know we hear. a new bill is that i knew colonial the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took. it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other people that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.

10:04 am
chalmer's on the state by david b.b.c. there must be something else a crisis in the s n h s well it would look that way wouldn't i think there are a lot of people at the moment politicians who want to make a big thing about their private not chess credentials but i'd say let's have a look at that because they all say they're pro and i just. everyone wants to be seen as being problem h.s. in fact so much so that even trees may have been compelled to come out and make this announcement she's putting in billions of pounds of extra cash into the n.h.s. jeremy haun has been forced into a situation where he's having to spin a pay cut for n.h.s. workers as a pay rise people want to be seeing this problem and i was a peon with religious logo all it yet people want to be seen as programme h.s. i think politicians understand that there is a bond between ordinary working class people in britain and their national health service so to come out and openly say actually we're privatizing it for months
10:05 am
you're very not we're politically very unpopular thing to do however is the reality which is why i think it's so important that while we celebrate seventy is of the n.h.s. it isn't just given over to the tories to what washed it into what they wanted to be and the truth is told about national health service which is there is power for pound the most efficient model for delivering care however that has been fundamentally undermined by a series of problem market privatization measures what have you to do it because. today for the religious when everyone's used to support it anyway because the narrative needs to be shifted it's great that people want to celebrate their health service but they need to be presented with an alternative vision to the one that we currently have one of people in for treatment in coverage or because there aren't any beds for them to go to war where you've got people have a mental health crises who can't get even the appropriate psychiatric care that
10:06 am
they need because mental health is so i want to fund it it's important that we that we might those points and that we make it clear to both the tories and the like what exactly we expect from our government and that is a publicly publicly provided free at the point of national health service with integration from social care. on a shift to do you and your coworkers see in the n.h.s. when you're working there well i'm compelled by for my terms of employer and my professional code of ethics to stop me from giving concrete examples but what i can say is that we are one hundred thousand staff shore in n.h.s. england alone and that is inevitably going to have an impact on the standard and the safety of patient care at frontline but how free is the public health care system because people have to pray prescription charges for meds. unless they're in poverty or they're out of work or in some kind of or welfare benefit their own
10:07 am
doctors can sometimes be can they be missing in action because they've gone to work privately they're consultants and so on is it a public health concern is what it is to an extent and i think you raise a good point about prescription charges what do we have to pay for prescription charges it's because pharmaceutical companies are private enterprises and if we did to why we have profit pharmacy then we could have nationalized pharmaceutical industry and we could provide drugs on the basis of need not on the basis of people's ability to pay. nothing's free and we have already paid for the n.h.s. nothing this is kind of the point actually we've already paid for it for our taxation so i really reject the idea that flow imagine some circles at the moment that we should increase taxes on working people in order to subsidize the national house that is because we've already paid for it but successive governments have made a choice since the creation of the n.h.s. to fund it as a percentage of g.d.p.
10:08 am
is much lower than many other o.e.c.d. countries maybe half as much as trump is funding a private system in the united states from other taxpayer. what do you think of the fact that many are now saying you know the n.h.s. is too expensive and actually it's not a good model anyway well i think the evidence says that actually is a good motto health outcomes are comparable if not better than those in the united states and we do it on a fraction of the cost the problems that we have in delivering a service based on the current set up is that we've got this sort of part public part private situation where resources are leeched out of public services out of delivering care at the front line and into into the into the pockets of private shareholders it was only a couple of years ago under this conservative government the junior doctors went on
10:09 am
strike in britain which is pretty unheard of do you think there is talk amongst the rank and file of n.h.s. work is right now of possible strike action if policy is as we've seen continue regarding the health care system in britain well there's a lot of debate about that certainly we're currently in a situation where and his workers have accepted a pio order which has been branded as a paying chris is actually the introduction of performance related pay and that is potentially going to see our wages driven down and help back even further so i think there's definitely potential. for industrial action in the future on issues about pathway what we're also seeing is local action where trusts are effectively attempting to privatized that workforce and take them out of the n.h.s. and we seeing more and more industrial space particularly in the north to say the employee is off on that issue and i just like any other workers we have absolutely the right to withdraw. if tensing conditions are intolerable and at the moment we
10:10 am
have a situation where temps and conditions are becoming increasingly intolerable under those circumstances unfortunately many workers will feel they have no choice but to withdraw their labor well obviously we're going to invite jeremy hunt the health secretary here in britain on the show to try and refute what you've just been saying thank you very thank you. joining me now to go through some of the week's headlines is award winning activist dan glass as well as gluing him self to a british prime minister and creating a flash mob to protest british backed israeli attacks on gaza you can also see him in the new red fish production death by a thousand cuts the n.h.s. selloff has released on the internet tomorrow thanks so much dan for coming on ahead of and the results that lifesaving multinational company results at the end of the month this murdoch story from the times. drug companies win test case on overcharging they wanted legal victory against price rises and so drug companies
10:11 am
pharmaceutical companies are not known to be bastions of human rights and equality they call west human rights track record that all of the arms save lives truly they save lives i mean it sounds lovely providing medication but actually we know that the prices they rise have a zero on the drugs have a direct consequence on people who can't get access to the millions of people of course well don't have access to medication simply because they were raise the price on the drugs which the drug companies say they need to burn d.v.d. on this specific case and this is jerry hundreds of millions government that are attacking pfizer the basically have a and he controls and epilepsy and they rule the did a deal with lymphoma raising the drug grows from two pounds eighty three to sixty seven pounds fifty costing the l.h.s. up to fifty million extra year i'm sure the drug companies have a reason for the pharmaceutical companies are based on a profit raising model rather than providing universal health care for all and luckily across the world there's been an incredible tradition of resistance to
10:12 am
pharmaceutical greed and government inaction and i'm really inspired i'm only here alive because of the previous generation of social movements who challenge these pharmaceutical companies to lower the price of drugs and we've got to do the same for the next generation ironically in germany and the british health sector comes under some grids as your film i think the they may appeal was legal victory for the two drug companies but obviously we invited pfizer and flynn pharma to come on the program generally the other murdoch paper the sun what did you make of this with his fury as u.n. expert on extreme poverty problems britain over claims its territory has ravaged the country will it steady has and is continuing to ravage the country it's been eight years of hard core and people are dying and i know that sounds. of blowing things out of proportion that people are dying because of the governments is there . policies which is directly related to providing health care for all and as we're seeing with the n.h.s. is in today's time people who are the sharp end of the knife who don't have as
10:13 am
access to health care are dying because of their being left in lines in hospital the other hand we're not as bad as germs americans are breeding children from their parents you've got this story from the good you got in u.k. immigration authorities separating children from parents there's been a no of outrage quite rightly because of the children being locked in cages in america and being separated from their families from britain but we've got to stop wagging fingers and looking what's going on on our own doorstep why do you think it took so long for us to realise for the guardian to say hundreds possibly hundreds of separated from a parent or a care in the u.k. every year going to charity the challenges immigration because it's easier to blame others than blame ourselves i think the other reason why it took so long is a is a character true of injustice people expect that but because there's such a again face put on by to reason made of course in britain this would never happen but it is happening we have to look at is the detention centers like yarl's wood and homeless with which illegally detain migrants people would stay to separate
10:14 am
them from their children to see the reality of living with deported without their children according to this church but at least they'll be a happy day on saturday with a big. demonstration of pride and. why representation in advertising isn't just about pink washing it's true it's about a lot more it's about human rights it's about dignity in his about integrity and it's about really showing their equality isn't done it's we've not achieved that unfortunately we've been through a lot but there's still a long way to go well relating to that in terms of in terms of the one of the most powerful stories being shown up right on the floods is by migrants is by migrants and relating to that story before we see my kids going through the system and being illegally to tang left right and center across britain. and the fact that they're marching and quite shiloh's that the reality is the same here and their pride their
10:15 am
pride in london a lot of it situations in corporations like to buy off people's imaginations here but i mean obviously there was huge criticism because b.a. systems which is involved in the jets currently bombing yemen the world's worst humanitarian crisis this time barclays a good sponsor of a private sponsor partly starbucks be a systems unfortunately people probably think that pride was started in tesco they don't know this because of the sponsorship of coles wasn't it yeah tesco they're all there they're all there they're all cashing in the hardest community to challenge is your arm and and you know i people said that's me dan you're protesting that this this this place just leave quite alone and i totally agree it's a very special space for people to come out in but we got to live with integrity and having institutions that be a systems which have not caught people including the l.g.b. to the community's interests at heart because they profit from killing people including queer people they have no place on pride it is evil some people know
10:16 am
tesco and these people do national news more than all of you will can be deterred will still will cause them to cause they to this is the fiftieth anniversary of the year after the fiftieth anniversary of the gay liberation front who started pride because of stonewall people and for a few like that old man is like you need to know your history but it's true most people probably think because of the corporate involvement in what they got started by corporation have the goodness of their hell but they didn't thank you we contacted pfizer about the allegations made in this segment and they replied we are pleased that the competition of people tribunals overturned a competition on markets in florida is finding that pfizer abused its dominant position along with the associated fine if you see eighty has invited submissions on where the parts of the decision should be remitted back to see any further consideration and we can confirm that we have responded accordingly. opera already has always been to ensure a sustainable supply of our medicines to u.k. patients and this was at the heart of our decision to divest finitary in capsules
10:17 am
and that's after the show will be back on saturday to celebrate london pride the u.k.'s largest pride event till they can be touched by social media we'll see what's out today sixty five years to the day that dr che guevara embarked on his trip across latin america which is why i would say convinced him of the necessity for struggle for taking the initiative against imperialism. and that when i learned how to know that man are. not out of the mouth of the money that they let you know. this was a good time to. try to move.
10:18 am
them out loud to get money not why not. why it generated the old people we believe this will be a. lot of i can sell them on the john even they are of the moment on account of mother how do you not accuse those are the little. i don't want to put out as often my. own mother brother. right we're all set to start in five. he's not going to talk about the no fly list just needed right after the morris explorers were moved out of their new. record.
10:19 am
10:20 am
a little i don't know. i don't know i think it was. stages decided to line up to the world cup quarter finals this kickoff. colombia and switzerland are out of the competition while england and sweden are. i . mean dependent state just how. americans to be american is the question. now suggest patrick may be.
10:21 am
separated now instead of being united. by the moscow welcome this is. with the world news headlines in about fifteen minutes but let's head north to football h.q. down an ace is standing by with all the action from last night as the world cup twenty eight. and i have been and i know to you is right for you are well russia's northern capital you know beside them it's been easier to square fantastic view on a fantastic day of football from a something that will go down in history for sure but it's not just about the
10:22 am
history it's about both football and the jangling last sixteen stage has wrapped up in the tournament now getting into the serious business the eight teams set to play in the world cup quarterfinals now. we couldn't be more excited to be covering it and the competition is really heating up now some spectacular football lies and why go head to head with france brazil face belgium on friday some real football giants coming up and then on saturday all eyes in this country and russia will be on the hosts as they come up against croatia and of course not forgetting england against sweden the same day in a qualification for the quarterfinals last on of course everything still to play forth past games this summer but in anything to go by there's going to be plenty of nail biting ninety minutes and more penalties ahead as well those final clashes
10:23 am
most of the action will be moving to the south of the country russia against croatia will be in sochi and it would be an understatement to say that anticipation is building biggest country in the world rooting for the home to surprise the host of course to get this for many predicting before this started russia may be very lucky to get out of the group certainly not beat spain the knockout stages here they are always fantastic to see the hosts so i do well and i have said the tournament lot a lot here the atmosphere in the caps and mostly we need a little host cities is fantastic i've been in russia a few years my colleagues have been here longer even people born and bred in moscow they said they've never seen the cunt. you know it's how the city like this before the you know the columbia match in moscow last night that had everyone on the edge of their seats and even me just very happy an honor to be here experiencing this wonderful atmosphere that came finished for three to the three lions off to a penalty shoot out all the penalties finished for three absolute let's take
10:24 am
10:25 am
the emotional game we played well as unlucky to concede in the last minute but we carried on you know we stuck together and i was a motion for fairness open issue out it's always difficult with emotions highs and lows so just proud of the tea and proud of each other and proud for the fans here and. we made a great effort well now it's time to raise our heads and prepare for what's next but you know it's painful we did all we could for colombia. now here's what i'll stop pundit joe's a marine. you know thought about england against colombia. well i think the positive thinking of big game or both teams. was amazingly complete is becoming like almost the big three are picked for almost every team in the world the english players the colombian players they gave everything for one
10:26 am
hundred twenty minutes they should we really exhausted after. such an intense match there should be more from our point of view because the motions rolling in that game are negative seen from the war the fact i don't think you're going to be the lead in and i'm not just speaking about the english and and the players i'm speaking about almost all of them by dangerous point of view the most important thing is going to be in the quarterfinals great job and people happy even control calls on the quality of the team you feel you should follow along that they will mean anything you are not for all that the world can we change the terms of the competition so going to lead them in the quarterfinals and having for the finals. russia could always share say that england has
10:27 am
a golden chance to being the world cup final. all wanted to come home and according to a lot of the japan's allies of course in england captain harry kane the school the penalty some comparing the england captain goal against colombia was won by david back a blow back in that two thousand and six that was the last time of course the three lions made it to a world cup quarter final following that defeat all i could are and how amazing was it to witness that. we were watching it last night together. really nerve wracking and i know you were going through the whole range of emotions yeah absolutely it's such a. you know they're kept the car for what's in your car divide it was there some rooting for colombia some for england but i think everybody can be proud of such you going lintian you know that thousand hours of pressure perhaps so we spoke about earlier you told the golden generation had it the lump are the generals the seconds the terrys they're always accused of you know in the performing never never fulfil their potential and what's in this young team what's in these young guys all the youngest teams in the tournament so fantastic you know some of them just mind
10:28 am
team twenty years old through the quarter finals of the world cup i mean just imagine emotions we think we're excited of ours and what emotions they must be feeling and pressure well and truly off how they can go enjoy the football bring site you find energy to the football and really perform out fully and of course you know in terms of the pressure as well england's record with penalties has been abysmal save three part of a shootout shootouts in the past one thousand nine hundred ninety eight in two thousand and six they'd lost all of them in a major tournament said only one one that was against spain at euro ninety six so a real kind of cloud hanging over england and all in the fans will know when it comes to penalties so for them to get that monkey off their back will give them real confidence going forward in real confidence when they come up against other teams as well now there was always the feeling that they might not be able to handle the pressure and throw it away but that goal in normal time the penalty by hurricane was his sixth of the tournament and that puts him at the top of the race
10:29 am
for the golden boot the world cup's top score yet i mean fans of course did the victory last night as you might expect with pure jubilation and some probably really first well but this time the penalties have gone their way. ah. sort of a england's were. and the huge success of the russia twenty eight scene wild caught that so far many back home in the u.k. are lashing out at the government start small and the events and they're focusing much of their anger at the british foreign secretary bars johnson. to go cop this july. me some i think it will be very difficult to imagine the
10:30 am
u.k. representation a document could go ahead in the normal way it. isn't it time you call a judge for tellin him friends not to go to russia and to think that clown boris johnson wanted to pull england out of the world cup can you imagine how many more england fans could have been there to enjoy it johnson.
