so this is a welcome moment for public services in the uk. and the quality public services. have happened, i think, be more, but this wouldn't have happened, ithink, even be more, but this wouldn't have happened, i think, even six months ago. it's a result of the election. the outlook for public sector expenditure and tax revenues has looked a little bit better than people had expected. interesting statement from nick hurd, the police minister, who said that we should recognise that the police system is sitting on at least £1.5 billion worth of tax payers money in reserves. what is he referring to and how does that play into the picture? i don't think that every. .. every department of state and every sub element of department of state like the police budget have a contingency reserve. that money is allocated but it's not a kind of money tree from which you campaign increased pay which goes on to the second, third and fourth year because that becomes the basis for all pay. this is the contingency for say a terrorist attack, expenditure on increased collaboration with whoever

that means increasing public accountability and democratization of local services. drew was talking about that on monday, thank you for the work you do on that. it means to be held accountable public ownership for the monopoly with new participation from the management. as they were setting out in the speech yesterday, it means employees given their voice at work with union able to represent them freely free of on democratic -- on the right to organize.

make public services accountable to communities. ness accountable to the public, and politicians, truly accountable to those we serve.

advising pay review bodies next year to give some flexibility to the pay cap in parts of the public service are suffering from skills shortages. the government will hope that easing the pay cap will notjust help with recruitment and retention in the public sector. they will hope it will also ease a sense of frustration amongst the big service workers about falling living standards. but some unions say any increase beneath inflation means there's still a case for strike action. we will carry on balloting our members and talking to other unions who will hopefully do the same, so that we can stand united, whether url cleaner, benefit worker or a teacher, we all deserve pay rises. and the labour shadow chancellor shed he would back strikes if that was what was decided. so clear dividing lines remain between the government and opposition on pay. 0ur correspondent is at westminster now. some public sector workers getting a pay rise then and some not? that's right. things were coming toa not? that's right. things were coming to a head when it came to public sector pay. we have had increasingly thr

the most cherished public service is the nhs. the workforce by around 12,000. to equip it for the challenges ahead, we will ensure the nhs budget continues to grow, we will deliver at least a real terms increase in the revenue budget next year, as pa rt of the revenue budget next year, as part of the commitment to increase funding bya part of the commitment to increase funding by a further £2 billion by the end of this parliament. we will continue to develop the nhs workforce plan, and also introduce a new safe staffing bill, to make sure we have the right staff in the right places. increasing funding for the nhs is vital but it is not enough on its own, we must also reform how it delivers care. we have integrated health and social care and over the next year we will take forward a health and social care delivery plan, and continue to support a shift in the balance of care and resources towards primary community and social services, this will not always be easy but it is right and it is necessary. we will also expand focus on pre

doing some business but they cannot make any decisions which has a real impact on budgets and public servicesally the health service. that is causing some public concern, maybe even some public concern, maybe even some public anger. while the dup want to get back into government with each other, mainly over the deadlock, there does not seem to be a practical way out of it, because the dup and sinn fein do not agree on these issues. this key issue is from sinn fein, the call for an irish language act to give it an official status. the union are deeply against it and status. the union are deeply against itand sinn status. the union are deeply against it and sinn fein sevigny to go back into government. the two parties have moved and last week the dup put forward the proposal that they will get into a power—sharing government and set a time limit for dealing with external issues which they can deal with in a parallel process. the reality is, sinn fein are not doing that and they want the issues addressed now otherwise they are not doing business with you. in the middle of this, james brokenshire

certainly what has been proposed today is going to hurt public services in the uk and hurt public servicesonomy in general. we know that european union immigrants paid more in taxes than they cost the state and lots of very important public services like the nhs and school services rely on workers from europe to make ends meet. if we make it just is difficult europe to make ends meet. if we make itjust is difficult to employ people from europe as it is to employ people from outside of europe, we are in for much, much higher costs for public services, lower receipts for the exchequer and a lot of bureaucracy for british businesses. do you sympathise with politicians who, there has been a vote, this was very much part of that boat? it needs to be clear that we voted to leave the european union, perhaps part of that was ending freedom of movement, but there are only two options, freedom of movement for a very heart immigration system. we could go for something more liberal, free movement for workers. if you have a job offer in the uk you can come, otherwise no. that would give the european un

[applause]. there is not an inch of space left in this building. do you have a super following. let me echo and watch -- welcome to duke. it's great to be here. let's dive right in. i wanted to start with an issue that is really in the headlines and on everybody's minds this past two weeks which is the historic storms in that had caused such devastation. in the caribbean and texas in florida and our hearts in the duke community of course to go out to all of those people who are still suffering trying to cover from the storms. i know that you even when you entered the white house in 2013 that was six and a half years after katrina. a big part of your responsibilities are still hurricane recovery issues. i wanted to ask you. what are the big issues headin

but it is vitally important for the success of our public services that we paid public sector workerseep them in the profession, and are able to recruit new people as well. in terms of fairness, how is it fair to pay different professions within the public sector at different rates? the tuc have been calling for a 5% increase across the public sector. how is it fair? they say you are going to just divide and conquer, that that's your strategy. we already pay very different amounts in terms of starting salaries to teachers or police officers or nurses, and they also have different pay progression. so, for example, teachers got a 3.3% pay rise over the last year, through things like promotion pay. so the workforces are already very different. what we need to do is look at the specific issues in each workforce — which are the people where we are really struggling to recruit, where are the areas where we can look at how we retain those long—standing staff in that service. those are the things we need to look at, and i think it's much better to take a targeted, tailored approach to those p

to move to a more flexible approach to make sure we do deal with any issues we've got in the public servicesere's 1.7% for prison officers, but the unions say that all public sector workers deserve a rise, after being capped for several years. the government is making a big mistake in thinking it can get away with just lifting the cap. people have waited seven long years. and this on the day news came that inflation has risen again to itsjoint highest level in more than five years. also tonight... after hurricane irma, we visit a corner of the british virgin islands, where they're already planning to rebuild the tourist industry. our second special report on the plight of rohingya refugees — fleeing violence in myanmar — now in camps in bangladesh. i think she wants to be that side of the camera. tributes to sir peter hall, one of the giants of british theatre, who's died at the age of 86. and the experts wonder whether apple's new iphone design can replicate the huge success of the past. and coming up in sportsday on bbc news: a tough night for celtic, as they faced paris saint germain‘s fo

i want to say earlier today we saw a magnificent example of real public service by our distinguished colleague, mr. scalise who has returned, thankfully, to this body he demonstrated and embodies what's best in terms of public service. unfortunately, we've also seen in washington this week the personification of what's worst in public service. we've got to stop taking the american taxpayers for a ride. let's pass the swamp flyers act immediately. with that, i yield back to mr. galle fwmbings o. -- to mr. gallego. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman has 32 minutes remaining. mr. gallego: thank you, mr. speaker. representative lue, how often do you fly back and where do you fly back to? mr. lue: i fly about three times a month and i generally -- mr. lieu: i fly about three times a month and generally fly dull lets back to my district, i fly commercial. mr. gallego: how long is your flight? mr. lieu: about five, five and a half hours depending on the wind. mr. gayay go: we have been colleagues for several years. at any point in your flights from here to your home have you ever used a

public service. mr.ossert: there's a partnership where private sector entities are built into our coordinating centers to understand what we're doing and how to prioritize reopening facilities and the safe i have -- the safety of their workforce. secondly, it is our absolutely baseline doctrine nowadays in the emergency management community that we would rather reopen the stores than continue providing food, water, temporary shelter to people. it's just not within the regular course of operating business, it's not routine and it's not something we can easily sustain. it's healthier, better, faster for us to reopen the stores as fast as possible. reporter: previous administration saw climate change. harvey and irma could pose a problem. you could have fema budgets that can't keep up with the demand when you have powerful storms hitting the country. is that something that you think this administration should take a look at? we know the president pulled out of the paris climate accord. are these storms givi

building on his commitment to public service, when sanford was president of duke, he established an institute for science and public affairs to serve as an interdisciplinary program to train future leaders. the sanford school of public policy supports the primary appointment of over 80 faculty and researchers and houses one of duke's largest undergraduate majors, two masters programs, a phd program. and keeping of the spirit of terry sanford, the purpose of this lecture is to bring men and women of the highest personal and professional stature, to present to the duke community. our terry sanford lecturer this evening is lisa monaco. she left the government after 20 years of public service. at theained degrees university of chicago and harvard lost soul -- harvard law school and served under attorney general janet reno. returned to, monaco a senior position at the justice department and in 2011, was asointed by president obama the assistant attorney general for national security. an 2013 president obama appointed her to be assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism.

he serves as a public service librarian at the adams county library system here in gettysburg. he's an educator, researcher, lecturer and long time collector of american military artifacts. he's been featured in journals such as the gettysburg magazine and authored articles for the henry ford, dearborn, michigan, and clark house michigan, chicago, a blog site. through partnership with numerous historic sites and museums, labarre regularly provides contract work in developing and implementing innovative and historically based programming in hopes of providing the public with a renewed interest in history. finding relevance in authentic stories of the past and inspiration of life in the present. which i think is fantastic because that's a little bit of our same school of thought here we have here at the heritage center is we're trying to engage a new audience to make our history relevant to future generations.

much more on public services, and injeremy corbyn's case, it means nationalising a lot of things. not sure if that is an entirely new economic model.m might not be new, but going back to june 28, whenever it was, how did the public think these things are goodidea? the public think these things are good idea? labour did much better than many people, including nick expected. it's too. it's not a new thing. opposing thatcherism and opposing liberal market capitalism which is what jeremy corbyn is doing is the kind of revert to plan a of labour and it's is the kind of revert to plan a of labourand it's in is the kind of revert to plan a of labour and it's in their dna. he does do one thing that is new and not without risk. he hinges part of the speech, if what has been nicked is right, on the grenfell tower tragedy. he says this demonstrates the failings... a symbol of the problems... what happened at g re nfell tower was problems... what happened at grenfell tower was terrible. it shouldn't be used. it doesn't mean that western liberal capitalism is wrong but it shouldn't be used as

like others inspired by the call of kennedy, he has pursued public service in many different forms. at the start of his career, he worked with joseph kennedy ii to make citizens energy corporation to help low-income families. why didn't he let you get in the ads? as a state official, he oversaw programs serving the mentally ill. john kennedy had something to say about disabled children and he said that the children may be the victims of fate, they shall not be the victims of our neglect. thank you for your work with the mentally ill. he wants to private sector firm to expand green energy technology. for a decade, he served as the director for the school of the blind. he did god's work. thanks to his leadership, the school is the largest teacher of students who are blind. he led citizens schools, a national nonprofit that helps middle schools provide low income students the opportunity to learn science, technology, engineering, and math. there is steam in this institution, because the arts are so important. or king to promote safer communities and safer schools. president kennedy wou

borrowing has handed the government windfall of about £10 billion to possibly used to support public servicesructure and help students and young home—buyers and help students and young home— buyers but that and help students and young home—buyers but that sounds a bit tenuous. it says there is this official figure but then it says the treasury is determined to keep a grip on these public finances, so it is almost like, there might be this extra money as a result of government borrowing falling but that doesn't necessarily mean there will be a windfall of money for public service is like the first paragraph suggested. on the face of it this is welcome news to many people, who feel more money needs to go to helping young buyers of homes and students and the nhs, this money could be diverted into the nhs and social care and that is a big problem in the uk at the moment. also the issue of public sector pay. that has got to be funded somehow. my worry, in a sense, this builds up expectations ahead of the budget on the 22nd of november. if you think there might be money coming, expectation manageme

it's not just the unions, public services getting worse.tjust the unions, but some of theresa may's own mps have been piling on the pressure over pay. for months, ministers have been mulling over what to do about police and prison officers wages, that's because independent pay review bodies have recommended increases which would breach the government's limits. now as i understand it the ministers will accept the recommendations, though there may be some creativity in how the increases are paid. this could bejust the first step in dismantling the public sector pay cap. the pay review body covering prison officers has highlighted recruitment and retention problems and the treasury is expected to tell the review bodies covering other public sector workers they can take these circumstances into account when recommending increases next year. the government placed a 1% cap on public sector wages in 2010. trade unions say that cap means workers have had a 14% pay cut in real terms. the government's been wary of lifting it because the institute for
