sheffield gp dr krishna kasaraneni, now back at work, waited nine days for his family's test results.tice manager was on the phone too, to try and find out the results. it has been a very, very challenging time and we've not even hit the peak of winter months yet, and it really does worry us to seay and it really does worry us to say if we're not prepared now, what's going to happen in the next two or three months when the flu season hits and there's going to be quite a lot of chest conditions and infections? and that does worry me as a gp. and delays in testing are not helping a health service already under intense pressure. we're absolutely at full pelt in the nhs at the moment trying to recover the services where treatment was understandably but unfortunately delayed because of covid a few months ago. we're trying to get through those cases as quickly as possible, and we simply can't spare members of staff waiting for tests. ministers say they are putting extra resources into testing centres in covid hotspots like here in trafford in greater manchester. that might well account for

one is here over the viaduct between sheffield and rotherham.ound the centre of birmingham. we are all fairly familiar if we use motorways with temporary speed limits being in place. the thing here is that there will be a permanent speed limit in place. for the first time, the default speed limit will not be at 70 mph on uk motorways. u nfortu nately limit will not be at 70 mph on uk motorways. unfortunately motorway in england, it will be 60. even in the dead of night, you cannot do 70. people will need to be aware of that when using those motorways. because if you do drive at 70 in a 60, you will get a £100 fine. this is to reduce air pollution. it is an experiment for a year to see whether it works, to see whether it brings the quality of error in those stretches and those communities around those four stretches of motorway. —— air. around those four stretches of motorway. -- air. what difference do they want to make in the figures? government has set its targets of where it once it's to be. highways england says this will help go towards tha

doors, they're planning on letting a reduced crowd in for games from october 3rd, when they host sheffielditised for season ticket holders and premium members. lionel messi's father, jorge, who is also his son's agent, is in spain for talks with the barcelona board. after 20 years at the club, messi has handed in a transfer request and failed to turn up to training this week. messi has also spoken to pep guardiola, with manchester city his most likely destination. messi in the premier league is an exciting prospect, but perhaps not for opposition defenders. how would they look forward to facing him? probably panic, i'll be honest with you. probably have a lot of panic before the game to try and get my head around playing him. you can watch all the videos in the world to try and prepare for somebody like him and you'd struggle. be amazing for the league, and we all know how big the premier league is, but he is his own man and he will decide his own future but, in terms of something like that in the premier league, it would be incredible, but see what happens. horse, cody speaking on england

the director of public health in sheffield said to move there are two obstacles sheffield said to move obstacles to doing that. one is a need for more resources from the centre to enable local level activity to take place but secondly, he says that local authorities like sheffield have not got full access to the data under the system. currently they only have access to the case management element of the system and not to the contact management element and that second element is only made available for top authorities on the watch list. will he now remove that watchlist author: sure all of to want to engage fully in this are able to do the honourable gentleman makes an important technical point i will ta ke important technical point i will take away look at. can i say to my right honourable friend i welcome the announcement about increasing testing capacity for comprehensive flu vaccination programme and of course yearly access to coronavirus vaccines but he referred, there are problems of access and availability. can he set out what plans he has ove rco m e can he set out what plans he
