do we have a sense of what steve barclay is going to say in his l steve barclay is going to say in hisll be taking place in the backdrop of the ongoing strikes. it's a really awkward backdrop for stephen barclay. constantly talked about bringing down waiting lists, trying to improve some of more significant waiting lists you get in the nhs and that's been made harder ljy the nhs and that's been made harder by the fact that the strikes are taking place and i think it will address that and want to address the broader questions of nhs funding. i suspect there will be a lot of politics in there. one theme people will have picked up on in the speeches we've been carrying on the bbc in the last few days is that the speeches follow a bit of a pattern, here is what we have done as a government and here is what we want to do and here is the political attack on the labour party on the thing we don't think the opposition party will do so we will hear a lot more of that over the next few wiles, especially in stephen barclay�*s beach but it all comes down to the question of probably in the last con

and pushing back steve barclay. is it from you? >> well. and i pushing back steve barclay.ou? >> well. and i just1ing back steve barclay. is it from you? >> well. and i just wonderk really well. and i just wonder the next time that there's a kind pay round in nhs, we kind of pay round in the nhs, we actually a ballot of the actually do a ballot of the royal college of nurses and whoever else, and say, well, we could you pay rise, but could afford you a pay rise, but these will have to go. these jobs will have to go. which you want? a pay which one do you want? a pay rise or do feel you need rise or do you feel you need these equality, diversity and inclusion officers on your shoulder make people shoulder in order to make people healthier? the nurses healthier? or i bet the nurses would vote for the pay rise instead negotiating the negotiating obe diversity trainer, industry. >> yeah, make yourself redundant. the redundant. you could take the job and then make yourself redundant. the way do redundant. that's the way to do it. >> what's your big story? >> what's your big stor

so far, anything from steve barclay�*s speech that you think was weighty enough that might turn the conversatione bit? ida. weighty enough that might turn the conversation a little bit?— conversation a little bit? no. don't think so. conversation a little bit? no. don't think s0- i — conversation a little bit? no. don't think so. i think— conversation a little bit? no. don't think so. i think h52 _ conversation a little bit? no. don't think so. i think h52 will _ conversation a little bit? no. don't think so. i think h52 will continue l think so. i think hs2 will continue to dominate the headlines, partly because the government is refusing to discuss it. we think we know broadly what will happen probably over the next couple of days, which is the manchester to birmingham leg isn't going to happen, the money that was supposed to be used for that was supposed to be used for thatis that was supposed to be used for that is probably going to be spent elsewhere, like on better infrastructure dedicated for the north of england in the midlands around birmingham. but we don't know for sure because the go

well, earlier we spoke to the health secretary, steve barclay . we asked him if the uk barclay. into gaza and to stop israel's blockade . blockade. >> well, the uk is one of the biggest aid donors , of course, biggest aid donors, of course, in terms of gaza . we channel in terms of gaza. we channel that aid through the united nations. we give about 10% of the aid. our aid budget last year was £13 billion. so the uk has a proud record in terms of aid, but israel has to be able to defend itself from these terrorist atrocities . and we terrorist atrocities. and we also need to recognise that there are hostages currently in gaza that have been taken from israel and israel needs to be able to respond to that . able to respond to that. >> well, the foreign secretary is in israel and has been holding talks to show the uk's support on the country's war on hamas. >> but not long afterjames >> but not long after james cleverly arrived, he was forced to flee to safety in a bomb shelter there, as air raid sirens warned of incoming rockets in southern israel . rockets in southern israel. >>

when asked about the siege, health secretary steve barclay declined to comment.tary was in israel yesterday being clear in our unequivocal support of israel's right to defend themselves from these most appalling terrorist atrocities that they faced. of course , civilian casualties need course, civilian casualties need to be minimised, and that's what the foreign secretary was clear about yesterday . but it is the about yesterday. but it is the case that israel needs to be able to defend itself from these attacks to rescue the hostages that are being taken and to deter future attacks of the sort that we've seen in. >> meanwhile, in the uk incident of anti—semitism, have increased by more than 300% since hamas's attack on israel. that's according to the community security trust, which recorded 89 incidents in just four days so far this month . they include so far this month. they include assaults, damage to jewish property and abusive behaviour. it comes after the home secretary warned protesting with palestinian flags could amount to a public order offence if it's

the health secretary, steve barclay, has vowed to clamp down on the way that vapes are being marketedent flavours make them look like sweets. it comes as a senior doctor has warned that the increasing use of vapes among young people is becoming a public health emergency. one of his patients, 12—year—old sarah griffin, suffered a lung collapse and spent days in an induced coma after vaping heavily. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has been speaking to sarah and her mother. i'd vape before going to bed. the first thing i'd do is take a draw of my puff bar and i'd put it on my pillow and then go to sleep. like, a 600 puff wasn't even lasting me a full day, it was lasting three or four hours. in the end i was taking 4,000 puffs and they were lasting me about four days. sarah started vaping atjust nine. buying vapes from the local shops, by the age of 12, she had a serious habit. her nicotine addiction was that of a heavy smoker. her mum mary tried to stop sarah vaping but it was impossible. when she got to secondary school is when it really became... there are times i barely let he

families who lost their babies due to avoidable nhs errors are calling for the health secretary steve barclayinquiry into maternity services in england. the parents say that despite a raft of reports and reviews into various nhs trusts, systemic issues continue to adversely impact on the care of women and babies. here's our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan. i completely believed in the trust. i completely believed in the midwives and all that got me was a dead baby. the catastrophic _ me was a dead baby. the catastrophic impact - me was a dead baby. the catastrophic impact of. catastrophic impact of maternity failures have left families bereft. the heartache they share with other families. but while these individual nhs trusts have hit the headlines, campaigners say they are a national problem. a report by hospital inspectors said two—thirds of maternity units in england were rated as either requires improvement or inadequate for safety. joshua died to avoidable means. his father is campaigning for better maternity care. it is cominu better maternity care. it is coming up _ bett

the demonstration coincided with a speech by the health secretary, steve barclay, who described the bma'see are relentlessly demanding massive pay rises, even if that means diverting resources from patients and despitejunior doctors having already received a pay rise of up to 10.3%. more than a million procedures and appointments have been cancelled in the ten months of nhs industrial action but because hospitals need to cover striking doctors — in order to maintain patient safety — and are currently paying up to three times the normal rate for a shift. the premium rates are set out in the bma's rate card, which the union recommends doctors use when asked to do non—contractual work. the shortage of doctors and the pressure they are under is not unique to the uk. the united states is is about to see its largest health care strike in its history when more than 75,000 health care workers at the private health care provider, kaiser permanente, go on strike tomorrow. joining me now is andrew barnes, professor of health policy at virginia commonwealth university and siva anandaciva, who is chie

all smiles there, steve barclay, the health secretary, or is it a grimace? i can't tell.bout five minutes or so, he is expected to speak, the prime minister, after penny mordaunt and a video and a warm up ahead of him going on stage, but he is expected to speakfor about going on stage, but he is expected to speak for about 55 minutes, so plenty of time for lots of announcements. what is the one thing he needs to do, bim? how does he explain himself to the electorate? he has to put meat on the bones of the long—term plan. and i don't necessarily go in for the whole everybody needs to be an inspiring, visionary— everybody needs to be an inspiring, visionary profit for the next 30 years. — visionary profit for the next 30 years. but _ visionary profit for the next 30 years, but he does need to show what the conservative party is about after _ the conservative party is about after a — the conservative party is about after a period of three or four years— after a period of three or four years of— after a period of three or four years of turbulence, and what is his plan for— ye

steve barclay. we _ against the state of israel. myself is, you know, it'sjust immense. britain's daughter nicola was one of two greater manchester police officers murdered in 2012. there's no formal recognition for emergency services workers who are killed in the line of duty. bryn wants to change that and has been campaigning for 18 months for a medal to be awarded posthumously to bereaved families. it has cross—party support from mps and on tuesday labour backed his plans. we will be proud to introduce a bravery medal for police officers, firefighters, emergency service workers who lose their lives in the line of duty because we owe them our thanks for keeping us safe. last week, a minister told bryn an announcement was close, so he was hopeful as ijoined him to watch the home secretary address the conference yesterday. i support your campaign for a medal for heroes. there is a consensus across government that this needs to happen, and i hope we will be able to announce something very soon. what's your reaction to that? i'd say c

and there'll also be a big speech today from the health steve barclay health secretary, steve barclayegraph this morning, about morning, talking about an interview today , interview that he's done today, that transgender women will be banned from female wards. lots of people, again, may say that's a lot of common sense, but surely pretty trivial issue. and trying to create a distraction away from the fact here we are, day of significant strikes day two of significant strikes in the nhs between junior doctors and consultants and let's be honest, a conference that's completely overshadowed by what we expect to be the abolition of hs2 tomorrow . well, abolition of hs2 tomorrow. well, look , first of all, i don't look, first of all, i don't think it's a trivial issue. >> i think it's important. i think patients want to know how the circumstances in which they're treated. they're being treated. and i should in prisons, they're being treated. and i shoul(|'m in prisons, they're being treated. and i shoul(|'m responsiblesons, they're being treated. and i shoul(|'m responsible for,, they're b

steve barclay today as well. we're talking about the language that's used in nhs .s something that is going all the way society think way through society and i think a proper conservative party would and i'm would push back on that. and i'm glad it. glad we're doing it. >> look, earlier on i >> yeah, look, earlier on i actually out and about and actually went out and about and was people at this was speaking to people at this conference they made conference about what they made of doctors strike and the of the doctors strike and the consultants strike and the radiology strike that have been taking today . they just taking place today. they just out here. so we'll play that to you a lot of people you shortly. but a lot of people were saying that they feel as though you though that's political. do you think strikes aren't think these strikes aren't political you pay political or should you just pay them think they are. >> well, i think they are. and i think the independent pay review body set up, they've body that's been set up, they've offered that's than offered 9.

so when steve barclay or the others are doing the rounds, they're saying, no, no, we've done more thanent in modern times to increase prison places. they're right. and i understand sentences going from a half to two thirds, which i'm sure our, you our viewers would you know, our viewers would agree . yet isn't the agree with. and yet isn't the truth of it that the criminal base in this country is growing as well and not necessary ? as well and not necessary? >> only part of the other side of this is what happens before a trial. so previously , you would trial. so previously, you would expect in line with what's called a custody time limit for someone to not spend more than six months in prison awaiting trial. that's almost doubled in the last three years. that that contributes to it as well as a nation. we're only slightly above average for the number of people in prison per capita. yeah. and so i don't think you can necessarily say it's as a result of there being more crime. it's as a result of a change in approach that people are spending more time in prison i >> -- >> so clearly, i

i think steve barclay made the announcement yesterday. it. you know , the logical about it. you know, the ultimate , of course, is not to ultimate, of course, is not to have mixed wards, so you just have mixed wards, so you just have single rooms , as you do in have single rooms, as you do in private hospitals , and the nhs private hospitals, and the nhs is gradually getting there. it will take another decade probably to get there completely . you know, the reason for having these open plan wards when i was a medical student where the nurses all sit around , they're called nightingale wards, everybody's in rows is because the nurses could see the patient from the end of the ward . now we have all sorts of technology, electronic wearables and gizmos. you know , every and gizmos. you know, every orifice can have a gizmo in it. you can measure anything in real time and it can be displayed on a computer at the end of the war. you don't need to see the patient's quite as you used to. and may i congratulate you for your timely use of the word o

well speaking of conservatism, the health secretary steve barclay addressed the conference today andnnounced the following. >> i know as conservatives we know what a woman is, and i know the vast majority and the vast majority of nhs staff and patients do too. >> gender neutral language is set to be removed from the nhs constitution and female only wards will be for women only. some bold announcements from mr barclay , but will it cut the barclay, but will it cut the mustard? the doctors are on strike yet again for a debilitating 72 hours. in fact, they've even set up shop just a few short yards from here. there was even someone dressed as a badger protesting against i can only badger culling, but only assume badger culling, but while the display is laughable, the consequence is are for the consequence is are dire for the consequence is are dire for the british public. hundreds of thousands of appointments have already many already been cancelled and many more will be cancelled. in addition . plus are how do you addition. plus are how do you have stake ? medium rare. have your stake?

well speaking of conservatism, the health secretary steve barclay addressed the conference today andunced the following. >> i know as conservatives we know

trans women will be banned from female nhs wards, says steve barclay, which i know joshua will have more this, which is why i'm not going to let you in. i'm just going to say it. two thoughts on this. first of all, i don't think this just about i don't think this is just about it's framed as it's always being framed as danger trans women in danger to have trans women in women's spaces so and women's spaces and so on. and it's about danger. it's it's not just about danger. it's about and it's about about privacy and it's about people's to have a people's expectations to have a safe and so on. safe environment and so on. what's surprising about this is you'd think hospitals would be the top of the agenda on the trans debate, on the trans issues above sport, above pnsons issues above sport, above prisons and everything else, because this a place where because this is a place where the women's wards are where women sleep and they're on drugs. know , and they're drugs. you know, and they're having to get changed and having all operations or, all kinds of operations or, you know , things carri

so it's health secretary steve barclay is pushing against wokery pushing back against wokery as the haveservatives have started threatening to do finally and it's good though, he's going to bnng it's good though, he's going to bring back sex specific language. so the horrors of things like chestfeeding will be replaced the far more replaced with the far more normal breastfeeding , which we normal breastfeeding, which we all carry on. >> doctor will be a watchable film yes, exactly . we film again. yes, exactly. we have to we have to clip it short, i'm afraid, because it's a welcome towards sanity. short, i'm afraid, because it's a wilcome towards sanity. short, i'm afraid, because it's a wi agree towards sanity. short, i'm afraid, because it's a wi agree . towards sanity. >> i agree. >> i agree. >> that's the front page. taken care of . join us in a moment for care of. join us in a moment for hs2 , h two h20 . see you radio. and welcome back to headliners. >> so we've looked at the front pages. let's take a look inside. further grubbiness ahead . nick, further grubbiness ahead. nick, as

so steve barclay's come out and criticised this he said current live adverts include jobs with salariesabove the basic full time pay for a newly promoted consultant. i mean, that's a bit of an insult, isn't it, if you've gone to medical school and now somebody's doing this, i mean, i don't know exactly what they do for but but making for a living, but but making sure the right sure you've hired the right number of people in the right colours, seem colours, that doesn't seem like something worth something that's that's worth nearly shocked nearly £100,000. are you shocked at that? >> i mean, they'd get great >> i mean, they'd get a great pension end of that as pension at the end of that as well. if you take average average salary . what i like average salary. what i like about article of the about this article is all of the people who are disagreeing with the criticism simply saying the criticism are simply saying diversity good. but the diversity is good. but the criticism is don't need criticism is you don't need individuals to do this. they've got of managers in the got a tonne of man

it's over 100 days since it's been over 100 days since steve barclay last negotiated negotiate with these, they say accepted that independent pay review body offer 8.8% on average for junior doctors and a 6% rise on average for those more senior consults . for those more senior consults. so that's the offer that the government have put to the bma. it's offer that these it's the offer that these doctors get doctors will automatically get as that independent pay as part of that independent pay review recommendation . but review body recommendation. but of course, they still want more junior up to 35, junior doctors wanting up to 35, they to reflect, junior doctors wanting up to 35, they to reflect , of course, they say, to reflect, of course, on on historic losses of pay rises within flation. but earlier on at the picket line here at the manchester royal infirmary , i spoke to a couple infirmary, i spoke to a couple of doctors about why they've joined line today . joined the picket line today. >> so work as a consultant. >> so i work as a consultant. psychiatry at and can tell you psychia

steve barclays saying he's urging the unions to end their relentless strikes points to the fact strikests to the fact that doctors started that those doctors who started hospital will hospital training this year will get 10.3% pay rise. the average junior medic , 8.8% and junior medic, 8.8% and consultants will get 6. but generous reforms to their pensions . you say that's not pensions. you say that's not good enough, even though a million appointments are being cancelled as a result. >> well, the cancellations and the delays for the appointments has been going on since before the started, and i think the strike started, and i think that's honesty needs that's where the honesty needs to know , transparent. to be. you know, transparent. there to some there needs to be some transparency we've transparency about that. we've been seeing delayed appointments and really long waiting lists from before the strike started since covid. but there's 1 million figure relates specifically to the strike action days. >> it's been missed due to doctors going on strike. i think it's been seven days for j

health secretary steve barclay , who has pledged to keep barclay, who has pledged to keep biologicalen's safety? what a heathen. 50 lashes for this non—believer . 50 lashes for this non—believer. for now, the excellent guido fawkes political website have unearthed correspondence from the human resources director at lloyds bank who declares her pronouns . of course she does. in pronouns. of course she does. in an email sent to 30,000 members of staff. and here's what she said. dear role. like many of you, i was appalled to hear the rhetoric coming from the conservative party conference this week targeting the trans and non—binary. this week targeting the trans and non—binary . community and non—binary. community outrageous. the prime minister targeting delegates with information about human beings , information about human beings, information about human beings, information that we learned dunng information that we learned during gcse biology. in the email she goes on hearing language that fuels hate and division . is shocking . there you division. is shocking. there you go. she's pla

tackle britain's spiralling welfare bill and to get more people back to work, health secretary steve barclay, with gp's told to treat patients first rather than rushing to sign them off work. it comes after recent figures showed that a record 2.5 million brits are off work due to long term sickness, with half suffering from mental health issues. so are some people exploiting mental health as an excuse not to go to work? benjamin? >> no. and it takes some audacity from the health secretary. when the 7 million people on waiting lists to lecture about this, one of the key reasons, if not the key reason that so many people are off work sick is because they can't see a doctor. they can't get the appointment for the operation. they need. and so the thing that is making them sick carries on or in many cases their illnesses have got worse. they've developed mental health illnesses because of that situation . and maybe health situation. and maybe the health secretary should do his job and sort the nhs out before he lectures vulnerable people. but 5 million people can't be off sick with stress, they ?

mate wes streeting, who's health who's the shadow health secretary, barclay, secretary, who's steve barclay saw in the clip. there's shadow. he's absolutely shadow. he's been absolutely clear can't have a clear that women can't have a penis and, you know, but there are a small minority of people who have or who are on the process of transitioning on this question of nhs . question of nhs. >> if you have if you have a clear view of what you think a woman is, as one would hope that the leader of the labour party had, not like had, you would not fumble like that. you simply wouldn't because not to because would not be able to answer it. simply was desperate. >> not the debate has been very productive. >> matthew, thanks, patrick. >> matthew, thanks, patrick. >> i mean, what the biggest concern if i was a woman in an hospital is being in a mixed sex wards. 13 years ago, the tories promised they were going to get rid wards. 13 years rid of mixed sex wards. 13 years on. you say, christine, on. but as you say, christine, with pressure nhs is with the pressure of the nhs is under of that there in u

i'm one of the things that steve barclay talked about was the language that has sort of started comeike the nhs. things like chestfeeding the removal of chestfeeding and the removal of women women's health. women from women's health. there have been the removal of references to women in advice on the menopause issues around cervical ovarian cancer , cervical and ovarian cancer, where the reference to pregnant people instead of women. i mean , it makes sense, doesn't it, for this to be sorted out and the health secretary does have a point . point. >> well, trans men are at higher risk of suffering from cervical cancer because of not being included . ed, in some of the included. ed, in some of the literature and some of the calls to get a cervical screening. so that's kind of where that came from. it's also really normal, these language inclusions, and they're really overexaggerate . they're really overexaggerate. what is affecting mothers at the moment is the horror that is the maternity services, which is actually putting a lot of women off, having children within the nhs at the mome
