abuse at your peril that's the warning from the u.k. health service which is tightening its tolerance when it comes to unruly patients doctors can already refuse non-emergency care to aggressive or violent patients but the new rules that come into effect in april are much broader now all types of harassment bullying or discrimination will be covered that include sexist racist or homophobic comments and i just says any abuse of staff has to be taken seriously. we will tolerate to physical verbal against his colleagues stuff. and hate crimes against images stuff must be investigated with kid compassion diligence and commitment under the new agreement police are also being handed more power to deal with crimes against medical staff according to

a national health survey of last year alone a quarter of all staff were subjected to at least one case of harassment as adding pressure to staff already under strain 4 out of 10 now complain of feeling unwell because of stress at work so social activists leave jasper and under walker a columnist for the new york observer debated the issue. the n.h.s. is now saying they won't treat people who are overweight they won't treat people who smoke they won't treat people who've made certain comments they won't treat people who provide that you cannot reasonably expect these people to pay for n.h.s. care that they do not receive so what you most do is also excuse these people from paying the elements of tax that would go towards the n.h.s. i think that when you look at the n.h.s. stuff there overwhelming concern is to provide support to help people in need so they do. prepared to put up with quite a lot i think where it really crosses the line is all severe verbal
1:14 am
and physical abuse think that that is a major concern we need so we need to be sure that we're not going to end up in a situation whereby people who've maybe made a little bit of a joke on stable to be treated but on occasion it can go too far and it can cross the line and not lie is quite broad i think but there are there are piece of terminology particularly around and indeed on sexuality that we deemed acceptable say 203040 years ago which is now considered all the excitable and i think it's extremely important particularly with older people who might be on the work that sensitive and say the fairly treated you never hear people complaining about being cold colored and the fly does particularly from the elderly and again the care staff are perfectly sensible enough to say ok did a worry about a deli know about stuff it's not the stuff that is the cause of the majority stress
1:15 am
in the produce i mean what's incredibly frustrating about this is that we live in a system in this country where you can drink 10 pints of lager you know enjoy yourself in some form of misadventure shouts abuse at h.s. staff and be treated said you know i would like to see a situation where the cost of the treatments is too. back potentially i the equally i think if people it's had the way that i think that they should be able to make their own private provision. democratic party rivals immediately attack michael bloomberg as he makes his 1st appearance at a presidential debate details on that after the short break. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't. let me. get to shape

1:25 am
problems problems and this really is above science and engineering is above the political politics of any one nation or several groups of nations many of the world's problems could be solved much more quickly if politics were were outside of and not mixed with the scientific aspirations of many countries in general science now is in a new realm in order to solve the problems it needs to be highly global focused and internationally focused and collaborative in nature work takes expertise from many different disciplines from many different cultures to really solve the grand challenges that exist. for the world today. that's our roundup of the day's top news for now but i'll be back in around 30 minutes time as always thanks for tuning in.
