even pleading with the public to think twice before calling. because the simply on enough staff to cover the workload south central ambulance services declared a critical incident g. 2 extreme precious across our services, our staff and volunteers are working extremely hard to respond to cause, but the volume is overwhelming. there are absolutely situations where people waiting many, many hours, both to get into the hospital. and then once they've been in the hospital waiting to see a doctor course, it has a detrimental effect on anybody who's waiting for hours either in london. so sitting in an emergency department and nobody working in those services wants to see that happens. but there is a huge amount of pressure on there. now, just at the moment, meanwhile, ambulances are being forced to stay in cues for hours outside hospitals, which are struggling to cope themselves with the demand for beds. a number of medics of posted pictures like these on social media, one paramedic demanding urgent action after showing 25 ambulance crews waiting to
6:08 pm
enter an emergency department adding. it's not even winter yet. while earlier this month, the patient died off the waiting more than 5 hours in the back of an ambulance. we are right on the edge and it is the middle of october. it would require an incredible amount of light for us not to find ourselves in the midst of a profound crisis. over the next 3 months, the u. k. governments put the country on something akin to a war footing to deal with the coven cases, and also get ready for that crucial winter flu season. troops have been trained to dr. ambulances. some 4000 of them are on stand by to help the n h. s. cope with the winter season, early, the british defense secretary said soldiers are also ready to assist with administering vaccines, testing for covert and other general support in hospitals. this is why new daily cove cases in the u. k skyrocketed in july, they've remained high ever since. and doctors fear that those numbers combined with the flu season could overwhelm the health system. and it just keeps also want the prime minister to implement. it's more stringent plan

which it sadly is probably going to get worse before it gets better. phase of whistleblower julian sand remained in limbo this week after a 2 day extradition appeal hearing at london's high court. the u. s. is challenging britons decision not to extradite him to america on health grounds. he's wanted there on 17 charges of espionage on one of conspiracy to hack a government computer after exposing alleged western war crimes. if convicted of all counts, he could face a prison sentence of a 175 years. although it may still be several months before a final verdict in the case is reached. the i the judges just said they will take everything into consideration, but know, ruling was handed out immediately. the entire day was devoted to hearing arguments before by the prosecution for the grounds of appeal, why they want to appeal to judge's decision, not to extra by the phones. and there were 5 grounds of appealing to the 2 main
6:11 pm
topics, or of course, san jose health. and the assurance is a diplomatic assurances given by the united states in terms of health. what the prosecution i've been trying to do is accuse a key medical, extra witness professor compliment of being disingenuous of misleading the court by concealing the identity of a thunder partner, stella morris, and the 2 children. we finally heard the yahoo news story, the investigative journalism that was done a few weeks ago where 30 us officials confirmed what we already knew from anonymous testimony that the c i was discussing, plans to potentially kidnap or poison julian as orange in london. and so this was brought up in the context of why couple men, why professor coleman should not disclose the identity of a song, his partner and their 2 children, because he feared for their safety. when it comes to the assurances that the united states is giving. they say that drilling a function service sentence in australia, but certainly not even indicated if they will take you in his arms. this is a process that takes many years. the truth is the drew in his arms will most

6:13 pm
she's in prison because he's interfering with the accounting plan to steal the plan . it sort of raping to death and then destroy it is a disgusting miscarriage of justice. look at guantanamo bay, asked shaka, alma, my friend, ask anybody who has been in the hands of the u. s. judiciary. and at any point, possibly since the 2nd world war with whom they did not agree, and you will find that there's no justice to be found in the united states. i'm so angry and i'm so bad. i'm so disgusted with the united kingdom. oh, i did a radio program last night, john ship, tim was on it and he was extremely eloquent. and i asked him how he, how he manages his grief and, and he was absolutely,
