this might be the brexit election, but the health service is always central to politics this this country and the question of how to fund the nationalt fund the national health service, notjust in terms of nurses pay and so on notjust in terms of nurses pay and so on that we have been discussing today, but in a broader sense and the parties still don't agree on that? i think it is a really big question actually because the spending on the health service has been squeezed more over the last seven been squeezed more over the last seve n years been squeezed more over the last seven years than at any time in the health service's history. the pressures a re health service's history. the pressures are building and we will have to make some decisions over the next four or five years and ten yea rs next four or five years and ten years about whether we want to have a health service free at the point of view, in which case we will need to increase spending and increase tax or whether we're going to find other ways of funding it, ration it, co—payments, that sort of thing if we wa nt co—payments, that sort of thing if we want a health service

the conservative party owns pretty much every single issue apart from the national health service ande the two flags with the labour party can do damage. the economy has gone to the conservatives, law and order has gone to the conservatives. if you are ukip, where is that space now? paul martin will be gambling on the narrative that they can hold the government to account on brexit, but will it be enough? how big a gamble is this by theresa may? if you look at the polls it would suggest it is not such a big gamble. the question for her is whether it will hit her credibility as a politician of her word. for months she has been saying there would be no election, it is all about stability for the country, but neither political incentive is there, it seems, and she has gone for it. let's go to brussels. kevin connolly is our correspondence. what are they making of this? are they thinking theresa may may be in a much stronger position than those negotiations get under way if she wins a general election first?” think that is right. the people around who will be europol is not chief negotiat

use my maiden speech to condemn deeply damaging cuts in public services and our precious national health servicesame speech today and it would once again hold as true today as it did then. between then and now, i have learned first—hand how the privilege of being a member of parliament could help to achieve change, profound and lasting change. at the time, in 1983, young protesters were being shot dead on the streets by the racist apartheid regime in south africa. nelson mandela and hundreds of national african congress leaders were in prison. the conservative government refused to impose sanctions on south africa. they entertained the leaders of the regime. they banned protests outside the south african embassy in london. being a member of parliament helped bring attention to that ban and the wider cause of south africa's liberation. it also got a group of us arrested. but the space for people in britain to organise and support of freedom in south africa was defended and strengthened. i realised then that political leaders can, if they want to, create and preserve the space for others to organi

the first ivf baby was born in the national health service up the road in old ham of course.out babies being born in test—tubes within the nhs, society wasn't really quite ready for those technological advances. ivf went underground and the nhs rejected it and the treatment went into the private sector. it grew up in the private sector. it grew up in the private sector. it grew up in the private sector. 0ver private sector. it grew up in the private sector. over the past generation, various commissioning bodies have drawn ivf treatment back into the nhs and now of course it's a successful treatment. but some areas have been more successful than others and this is what's led to the postcode lottery where depending on where you live you have varying access to criteria. now the government guidelines have been followed and patients are allowed to have three cycles which is great for scotland. you talk about varying degrees of access. in some places there is no individual access at all? that's right. ivf is very high profile as a subject. sad beginnings, happy endings, damsels in

ofably there were promises 300 million pounds a week that would go to the national health service. seeing a 1% pay rise and promises about waiting lists being broken. host: thank you, peter. we will get a response. guest: i don't deny that outside influences express views about the outcome of the referendum. i don't deny that it was a lively campaign. indeed some people felt the european union was not always fully correctly presented in the debate. at the end of the day however, i don't think anyone could really contest this was a genuine exercise of democracy with a high turnout at the end of the day and a clear expression by the british people. i think that is the essential take away from the event. host: a call sturgeon tweeted what is next for scotland, which wants to join the european union. the prime minister will take the u.k. over a cliff with no idea of the landing place. scotland did not vote for it in our voice has been ignored. talk about the politics and all that. say was as as i lively democratic debate in the united kingdom. there were certainly geographical differen

governments speak with the united voice but the secretary is the same man who promised our national health service, 350 million pounds a week once we left the eu. now he believes leaving the eu would be okay. it would not be perfectly okay. it would damage our economy and living standards. will the prime minister confirmed that she rejects such complacency? labor set out our test for brexit negotiations and we will use all means possible to make sure we hold this government to their word. on full access to single market, on protecting britain from being dragged into a race to the bottom and ensuring our future relationship with the european union is strong and cooperative, a relationship where we can work together to bring prosperity and peace to our continent. if the prime minister can deliver a deal that meets our tests that will be fine. need the government that will deliver for the whole country, not just a few, that is the ultimate test of the brexit deal the prime minister must now secure. >> prime minister. >> i am grateful to the right honorable gentlemen, he said the labour party with a r

seven years the tories have broken every promise on living standards, the deficit, debt, the national health servicechool funding. why should anyone believe a word that they say over the next seven weeks? we will be out there fighting for every vote. whereas the right honourable gentleman opposite would bankrupt our economy, weaken our defences and is simply not fit lead. -- to lead. none of the leaders have time to waste. with brexit the backdrop for this election, the lib dems see their resista nce election, the lib dems see their resistance to the prime minister plans as a selling point. in leafy parts they hope that that themselves, like here enrichment outside london. there is an opportunity for the british people to choose to change the direction of out to choose to change the direction of our country, reject the hard brexit and vote to stay in the single market. however you voted lastjune to vote to have a decent strong opposition that we desperately need for the good of democracy. onlyjust over a dozen mps try to stop it happening. the opposition could have blocked the desire to hold an elec

she has ignored the british people, british businesses, british public sector and the national health servicect of putting 1's party before 1's country, she has chosen an early election, let us not by this nonsense because that you need a mandate to deliver brexit, the labour party has given her a mandate to deliver brexit, she is acting upon a narrow majority of the referendum in 2016, not for the moment... let us all be very clear and honest. she has chosen, she has chosen this election because she looked across the dispatch box and could not resist the temptation of doing the political equivalent of taking candy from a baby and facing a labour party in a general election. she expects... she expects a coronation and not a contest, and thatis a coronation and not a contest, and that is why the liberal democrats relish the challenge of a general election. i will give way to my neighbour. i am very grateful for him giving way. just about that coronation, will he rule out a coalition with the conservatives? the problem we face in this country is that the prime minister is running on expectation

research published in the palliative medicine journal says volunteer carers are crucial to the national health servicewn mental and physical health. there's a warning that a third of adults in the uk — or 17 million people — are physically inactive and at risk from coronary heart disease. the british heart foundation says it's costing the health service over £1 billion a year, as graham satchell reports. harriet had no warnings, no symptoms. she was climbing the stairs at home when she had a heart attack at the age ofjust 1m. it was like having the rug pulled from under your feet. i have a very young family, i had a demanding job, which i loved, really enjoyed, so then to suddenly be struck by such a traumatic incident was very difficult. i didn't make time for activity or exercise, so i think, looking back on it now, i was fairly sedentary. harriet is not alone. research from the british heart foundation shows the most inactive part of the uk is the northwest of england, where 47% of adults do not take enough exercise, followed by northern ireland, where 46% are inactive. in wales and the northeast o

the cancer drugs fund was a major missed opportunity for the national health service and the cancer communityual impact of new medicines. a great deal of money, over £1 billion, was expended on this. and we didn't collect the data to look at individual cancer patients. that's a missed opportunity. the study concludes many patients may have suffered unnecessary side—effects from drugs. but a leading breast cancer charity said the fund has had a totally transformational impact for many, offering precious extra time with loved ones for terminally ill patients. the fund was brought under the remit of the national institute for health and care excellence last year, so there is greater scrutiny over which treatments are approved. and we'll be speaking to some of those affected by this story in around ten minutes' time. president trump said there was a chance of what he called a "major, major conflict" with north korea over its nuclear and missile programmes. in a radio interview with the reuters news agency, mr trump said he would prefer a diplomatic outcome to persuade pyongyang to abandon the wea
