from what we've heard from pat cullen and steve barclay and yesterday , barclay today and yesterday, that that's the only thing that really matters is the sticking point. talking about working is all very pat cullen all very well, but pat cullen made very clear that is made it very clear that this is about money, which means that we are at a very, very difficult point rishi has point because rishi sunak has ruled out a one off pay offer, which is what happened in scotland, which did manage to avert a nurses strike and the government of the scottish government there a 20 £200 flat fee for all nurses in a one off payment. that might save us more strikes here, but britain has already ruled it out. and steve barclay now busy making sure that life saving, life saving treatment is preserved. when the paramedics strike later in the week . so he's split paramedics strike later in the week. so he's split many paramedics strike later in the week . so he's split many ways week. so he's split many ways andifs week. so he's split many ways and it's quite hard to see what wiggle room we've got lef

steve barclay don't want. steve barclay don't want.one in the last days up last week at least, he was sort of hard man and was seem perfectly happy to have a pretty tense with pat cullen he wanted to he kept repeating that 19% mantra. today he said that he would be prepared to . reopen he would be prepared to. reopen talks with pat cullen . but he's talks with pat cullen. but he's been given very little wiggle room from ten. rishi sunak has seems to have rejected the suggestion of a one off payment , which is what happened to scott island, which has managed to avert strikes. but obviously it'll be far more expensive to do that for nurses across england . and sunak keeps england. and sunak keeps reiterating that any sort of major pay rise for nurses would lead an inflationary spiral . lead an inflationary spiral. again, he stuck to that line when he was questioned in latvia on this international visit, but there are economists who say actually public sector pay does not feed through immediate into an inflationary spiral? clearly the gov

well, steve barclay , thank you very steve barclay, thank you very much for joining steve barclay, thankere on gb news breakfast. really appreciate your time . let's find appreciate your time. let's find out the other perspective . let's out the other perspective. let's go to our east village reporter, bill hollis, who's at a picket line in nottingham for us today. well those words from the health secretary won't have been easy heanng secretary won't have been easy hearing for the people today that you've been speaking , have that you've been speaking, have said they're not going to work . said they're not going to work. yeah, exactly. well i just put some of the things that steve saying to the people who behind me who are on the picket line outside of the divisional headquarters for the ambulance trust here in the east midlands, here in nottingham we're just off of a busy ring, said there are lots of ambulances that have been coming in and out this morning despite fact that east midlands ambulance trust says that 50% of the that could be up to 50% of the workforce gone, gone. workforce

that's come to the table at barclays to come to the table at barclays to come to the table at barclays to the table today . a fresh come to the table today. a fresh pay come to the table today. a fresh pay offer already between four and 5. but the rcn wants something more like 5% on top of inflation . that's around 19% pay inflation. that's around 19% pay increase . but they do say they increase. but they do say they are willing to compromise on that. but so far steve barclay is firming fair and he is saying i'm not coming back to the table and what is on the offer? what is on the table is fair at 5. yeah, it's interesting. however, there are some suggestions they're looking at next april's pay they're looking at next april's pay review. the independent pay review panel, and that could be fast tracked is the phrase there, because it could be brought and cleared up. maybe one way of bridging the gap between the two increasingly embittered sides . yes, well, embittered sides. yes, well, there is a wide gulf between those two figures at the moment is in between the rcn and health minister

steve barclay has been out and about saying let's not look back, let's look forward into next year., typically they would wait until august to receive that pay. that may be speeded out. if the pay review body recommends a slightly higher deal. i think this could be a sort of chink of light, but it depends what unions say and what staff feel about the action. sources say steve is keen to go ahead at pace. say steve is keen to go ahead at ace. . , say steve is keen to go ahead at ace. ., , , ., ., ., pace. that is the standout quote from that- _ pace. that is the standout quote from that. given _ pace. that is the standout quote from that. given that _ pace. that is the standout quote from that. given that it - pace. that is the standout quote from that. given that it says - pace. that is the standout quote l from that. given that it says steve is very keen for this to go ahead at pace, in a way, you would think perhaps we'd see some of that keenness sooner. abs, perhaps we'd see some of that keenness sooner. a negotiation is about saving _ keenness sooner. a negotiation is about savi

happened barclay said no happened steve barclay said no i'm firm this.i'm standing firm on this. the independent bodies you independent pay bodies you deserve rise of around % deserve a pay rise of around% that's we're offering you. that's what we're offering you. if enough, you if that's not good enough, you can swivel and then if you look north of the border in scotland, this is where it does get interesting, actually, because they apparently they were offered apparently this reports and this is according reports and nhs up in scotland were nhs staff up in scotland were offered an 11.3% pay rise for the lowest staff and an average pay the lowest staff and an average pay increase across the board of seven and a half % so need double seven and a half% so need double what the independent body said ? what the independent body said? well, a whopping 82% of nursing staff up there in. scotland rejected that. so that was an offer that rejected by nursing staff of an on average seven and a half% pay rise, which i think a half% pay rise, which i think a lot peop

that's another aspect of barclay's job that he's really— aspect of barclay's job that he's really gotcases of emergency that are not life—threatening. it's just a very, very difficult week for the government and the health secretary. it is. tomorrow, nurses strike and ambulance — it is. tomorrow, nurses strike and ambulance staff will stage the first strike _ ambulance staff will stage the first strike wednesday. i think that will be particularly— be particularly difficult for the government _ be particularly difficult for the government and _ be particularly difficult for the government and those - be particularly difficult for the l government and those workers. be particularly difficult for the . government and those workers. i think there will be a pushback potentially if there are some really horrendous cases of people suffering or even dying as a result of an ambulance not turning out. so, one thing to note is that the government today were quite critical of the unions for not giving them enough of an overview of what services actually are going to survive, what bits does the go

and steve barclay , feeling., has awarded those nurses a 5% real terms pay this year and that's a decade of year. this year and that's a decade of year . your real terms pay cuts. year. your real terms pay cuts. no wonder they've had enough. and what what's really ludicrous here is the caring people are so desperate, so by pay cuts and staff shortages that feel they've ended up with no choice to take strike action, just. yeah. we've been hearing these nurses, as you said, on the picket line that it's not just about pay, about the experiences at work, the frustrations, the lack staff and so on. so do you . it was a mistake there for an tactical level for the rcn . go tactical level for the rcn. go in with this this 19% figure giving the government a bit of a. i think that's a matter for the rcn and i couldn't really comment on that. but we are deaung comment on that. but we are dealing with staff who have had a pay dealing with staff who have had a pay cut year on, year on year for a decade or more now . and for a

barclay the health unions. steve barclay the health secretary, ambulance secretary, has said ambulance unions a conscious unions have taken a conscious choice to inflict harm on patients. was this an unnecessary escalation or do you think the government is actually quite right to double down.7 perhaps you think the government's strike strategy has been absolute level been an absolute disaster level shambles .7 the public seem to be shambles? the public seem to be on the nurses side, that's for sure. know what you sure. let me know what you think. in light of the think. and in light of the walkout crisis the nhs, walkout crisis in the nhs, rampant inflation orders more poorest than a sieve. i'll be asking , is poorest than a sieve. i'll be asking, is britain going to the dogs? are we a nation in decline or do we all need to keep calm and carry on? we've been here before, haven't we? after all, then. i can't ignore what's happening of the border happening north of the border in scotland in scotland scotland. in m

barclay , the strep outbreak mr.linked very closely to a drop immunity amongst children because of lockdowns figures out today, say mental health issues for the long term sick are at a record high due lockdowns as head towards another winter. can you assure us that lockdowns would be considered again by this government government . what this government government. what we're clear in, and you remember we're clear in, and you remember we were criticised for not locking down more during the pandemic. keir starmer wanted repeatedly to keep locking down. and the point is there a consequence of not just economic but in terms of the health impacts and it is the case we all concern that immunity probably was weakened during that period and that's why again at the time we were cautious when the leader of the opposition was saying we should lockdown more. and clearly we were right not to heed his warnings . acting cautiously. we warnings. acting cautiously. we weren't exercising caution when it came to requiring and getting p

barclay is refusing to even discuss pay . we sit down in a discuss pay. we sit down in a room, you have a bit of give and take and both sides. i'm getting nothing from him or from this government. all they're saying to me is we negotiate to me is we can't negotiate about pay and where does that leave us? one of the reasons the ambulance service, the nhs is in such a dire state is because they haven't the they haven't invested in the workforce. leave those workforce. so people leave those who are left are under increasing pressure. these people meal breaks . people don't get meal breaks. they get a divorce . they they hardly get a divorce. they work excessive overtime because this is the only way the service can run. christina mckinney but the health secretary maintains the health secretary maintains the government is trying to work constructively with unions. clearly we will need to look at the data from today to see whether the exemptions that the trade unions have promised material lies. they've said on the one hand they want to cause maximum disruption

so figures from steve barclay.although it feels that we might be inching towards something like a resolution , there are like a resolution, there are still certainly a lot one peg and one extra factor is that in scotland and nurses have now rejected an offer from nicholas sturgeon which was far more generous than anything that steve barclay has offered here, and a similar offer, which now been rejected in scotland, would cost england 13 billion. so it's quite hard to see how steve barclay is going to find a resolution which would be affordable , would keep pat affordable, would keep pat cullen and the union happy. so it's not much longer than we were two days ago or three days ago . it was always going to be ago. it was always going to be interesting to see what happened with 99 calls during the ambulance strike . have we had ambulance strike. have we had any figures on whether they were down yesterday with people actually calling out ambulances for a emergencies ? yes were a for a emergencies? yes were a long way

nigel, steve barclay is having to manage this - barclay is having to manage this one, how do you think talks with the — least sit down and have pay talks with the various sectors who are going _ with the various sectors who are going on— with the various sectors who are going on strike. and that is what they steadfastly refused to do, it is almost — they steadfastly refused to do, it is almost as if we are back to the days— is almost as if we are back to the days of— is almost as if we are back to the days of margaret thatcher and the miners _ days of margaret thatcher and the miners where the government's idea is less— miners where the government's idea is less tough this one out. i do think— is less tough this one out. i do think that _ is less tough this one out. i do think that while the 90% claim from the nurses, — think that while the 90% claim from the nurses, it is reasonable given i have _ the nurses, it is reasonable given i have lost _ the nurses, it is reasonable given i have lost 12% over the last 12 years. — have lost 12% over the last 12 years, i'm not sure it is realist

prompted a bitter exchange of words between unions and ministers, with the health secretary steve barclay saying that ambulance unions had "taken a conscious choice to inflict harm on patients". the strikes affect all ambulance trusts in england, apart from the east of england and the isle of wight, and all those in wales. scotland isn't affected as unions are considering their next steps after pay talks, and there's been no action in northern ireland, where there was a strike earlier this month. the impact of the action depends on where you are. in england, the most serious category one calls, equivalent to red calls in wales, will be responded to. they include not breathing or cardiac arrest. each day, about 10% of calls in england are category one, 15% in wales. some category two calls in england, or amber in wales, will also be responded to, like strokes or serious burns. but other urgent needs, such as a woman in late stage labour or an elderly person falling in their home, might not be answered. our health editor, hugh pym reports. noisy, busy, one picket line into steve �*s strike,

barclay is to discuss pay . we barclay is to discuss pay.t down in a room , you have sit down in a room, you have a bit of give and take on both sides. i'm getting nothing from him, from this government. all they're saying to me is we can't negotiate a group. and where does that leave ? one of the does that leave? one of the reasons the ambulance service, the nhs in such a dire state the nhs is in such a dire state is because they haven't invested in the workforce. so people leave those are left are under increasing pressure . these increasing pressure. these people meal breaks . people don't get meal breaks. they get the off . they they hardly get the off. they work excessive overtime because . that's the only way the service can run . but the health service can run. but the health secretary maintains government is trying to work constructively with unions . clearly we will with unions. clearly we will need to look at the data from today to see whether the exemptions that the trade unions have promised materialise. they've said on the one h

the health secretary, steve barclay . the secretary, steve barclay.y instead the entire nhs. on pay we have independent process and we have independent process and we have independent process and we have accepted that in full and. of course that comes on top of extra privatisation of the nhs last year. but we also alongside that need to focus on patients, we need to focus on those pandemic waiting lists . those pandemic waiting lists. get those waiting lists and that's why we've invested the extra 6.6 billion over the next two years. so we prioritised the nhs social care in the autumn statement at a time of difficulty for the economy because we recognise we need to get those things down. well, the general secretary of the rcn , general secretary of the rcn, pat cullen, has the government for failing to even to the negotiating table . i want to say negotiating table. i want to say to the prime this morning, please step in now and do the decent thing on behalf of every and member of the public of, this country and right across the united . but please do

he did not want to talk about pay but they did, so if steve barclay was wondering on his way in whating might say on their way out, he didn�*t have to wait long. i did nursing might say on their way out, he didn't have to wait long.- he didn't have to wait long. i did a lot of talking _ he didn't have to wait long. i did a lot of talking in _ he didn't have to wait long. i did a lot of talking in the _ he didn't have to wait long. i did a lot of talking in the meeting - he didn't have to wait long. i did a lot of talking in the meeting and l lot of talking in the meeting and there was very little coming from there was very little coming from the other side of the house. in fact, i�*m extremely disappointed at the belligerence that was shown. they closed their books and walked away from the nursing profession this afternoon. in away from the nursing profession this afternoon.— this afternoon. in scotland, two ma'or this afternoon. in scotland, two major unions — this afternoon. in scotland, two major unions have _ this afternoon. in scotland, two major unions have called - this aftern

we will relay that message to the health secretary steve barclay. the health secretary steve barclayis a tiny pea in her bed. where are we going with this? somebody had a bad night last night. rather more than a pea. he had a giant heavy golden trophy he's always longed for. at least he made it to bed. did he get any sleep? not a lot by the pictures we've seen from argentina, but that's an amazing picture, isn't it? one of lionel messi's instagram posts is the most liked post ever on instagram already. 70 million likes. that pretty well for him. universally liked, i think it's fair to say and are very happy man with his world cup trophy. we brought you the pictures of argentina's world cup winnning team stepping off the plane back home and embarking on an open—top bus parade in buenos aires yesterday. a planned eight hourjourney. this is what happened next. well the team ended up having to take to the skies again. this was part of the 20 mile planned journey, an estimated four million fans taking to the streets including around the iconic obelisk which is where the parade should have

capital marina gromova for 2 years, drivers have seen their navigators as such a gray overpass on barclaytreet, but a few minutes remain before this section of the road finally turns green traffic will be launched. the truck column is greeted with applause and addressed. they handed over as a builder six months earlier for moscow, a decent time. no need to explain. what inconvenience does the driver suffer from road closures. and how important every bridge and overpass in this part of the city is in two, divides railway of the smolensk direction the overpass is the main connection between kutuzovsky prospect and the fillet area. we tried our best , of course, uh, there were nuances, since we had to work on 10 railways. aeroexpress leaves here and to vnukovo and a lot. of course, electric trains run, but nevertheless they managed while the bridge was closed. the drivers had two alternatives to take a detour, through minskaya street or through the third transportnaya street. and these are traffic jams. there are a lot of unnecessary u- turns. and what are the nerves here on the way heavy, t

listening to the health secretary steve barclay, he seemed to be saying that the stocks are there, soe of delivery, one of getting the stocks to the relevant places? well, we have on a number of occasions asked the department of health in terms of sitting down with us, manufacturers and wholesalers, and discuss the challenges in terms of where the issues lie and find solutions and plan better. this would allow us to find exactly where the issues are. at the moment, we are kind of working blind. what we need to do as pharmacists, we go online the normal route, and order the medicine and we basically get a message saying stock is unavailable. that's where we are at the moment. if that happens, when that happens, are pharmacies having to turn away patients? yeah, many times we've had patients coming in and asking for the antibiotic prescription and the pharmacy has no stock in so they have to send them to anothe pharmacy. this morning, i was getting reports that, for example, a patient had been travelling 20 miles to get a hold of antibiotics. there was another report about a patient who

barclay also tuesday's walkout. barclay also refused to rule out a one off payment for nhs workers to break the strike deadlock . it's the strike deadlock. it's important that the trade unions honour the commitments that they've given to, safeguard life threatening responses and emergency responses. now we haven't had that confirmed in the practical arrangements that the practical arrangements that the trade unions put in place with each trust. i'm calling on them . do so. i'm very keen. them. do so. i'm very keen. continue talking with them because all of us should be focussed on that patient safety . meanwhile, a cabinet minister says it's not fair that military personnel are having to cover for public sector workers on strike over the festive period. oliver dowden urging unions to call off the industrial action warning signify weakens pay rises would end up everyone poorer. more than 1000 troops are expected to cover paramedics and border force officials . a and border force officials. a teenager has been charged

the health secretary, steve barclay . the secretary, steve barclay.he government has prioritised the entire nhs instead on pay. we have an independ process and we have an independ process and we have accepted that in full and of course that on top of the extra privatisation of the nhs last year. but we also alongside that need to focus on patients , that need to focus on patients, we need to focus on those pandemic waiting, get we need to focus on those pandemic waiting , get those pandemic waiting, get those waiting lists , and that's why waiting lists, and that's why we've invested the extra 6.6 billion over the next two years. so we prioritised the nhs and social care in the autumn at a time of difficulty for the economy because we recognise we need to get those things down. well the prime minister in response has been backing the findings of the independ pay review body as he faced questions over nhs strikes . questions over nhs strikes. appearing before a committee of mps , rishi sunak defended the mps, rishi sunak defended the government's refus

i'm lena barclays, shooting our barclays nice. who as you know, and as we mentioned, shot and killed by an israeli soldier over 6 months ago. i am here today on behalf of my family because months after multiple requests have been submitted to the i, c. c. the court has still not taken meaningful action towards accountability when individual states are unwilling or incapable of investigating their own atrocity atrocities, as in the case with israel, it is the responsibility of the international community to intervene, to insure war crimes, don't get unpunished, don't go unpunished. while there is overwhelming evidence from multiple eye witnesses over a dozen of investigations by reputable news outlets and human right organizations and the united nations that shit in was targeted and killed by an israeli soldier. my family still doesn't know who the person is that shot that deadly bullets and who was involved in the chain of command that allowed them to, to kill my aunt. and these answers are critical in pursuing accountability. and

barclay is refusing to even pay.sit in a room, you have a bit of give and take and both sides find nothing from him or from this government . all or from this government. all they're saying to me is we can't negotiate bp and where does that leave us? one of the reasons the ambulance service, the nhs is in such a dire state is because they haven't invested in the workforce. so people leave . workforce. so people leave. those who are left are under increasing pressure. these people get meal breaks. people don't get meal breaks. they get the off. they they hardly get the off. they work excessive overtime because this is the only way the service can run . for this is the only way the service can run. for his part. this is the only way the service can run. for his part . the can run. for his part. the health secretary maintains the government trying to work constructive with unions. clearly we will need to look at the data from today to see whether the exemptions the trade unions have promised materialise. they've said on
