is not a record amount of money, it is less than the post will consensus of 3.7% and less than tony blair%. it's £20 blair put in to the health service which reached 6.196. it's £20 billion over the next five years in real terms and myjob is to make sure thatis terms and myjob is to make sure that is spent as well as possible and we get the improvements in the way the nhs operates as well. how do you answer the concerns of collea g u es you answer the concerns of colleagues like the chair of the health select committee who says she has concerns about the workforce and about the numbers of clinical and medical staff in a post—brexit immigration system. how will she reassure people were going to get those specialist? i want to see the workforce grow and i want the seymour gps and more nurses. at the moment, of the staff in the nhs who we re moment, of the staff in the nhs who were not from the uk nor are from outside the eu than from inside the eu. what about people who work in social care workers —— considered the low skilled workers. social care workers —— considered the low skilled worke

tony blair, margaret thatcher, they have all said the same thingm tony blair, margaret thatcher, theyall said the same thing. it has been a pleasure, thank you so much for coming in on your saturday evening. that's it for the papers tonight. bbc news has an interview with gymnast simone biles next. good night. spring, texas. a town that sprung up in the 18705 around the international and great north railroad. but, from humble beginnings, it has grown. its population has more than doubled in the last 30 years. now a suburb of houston, more than 5a,000 people call it home, but one of them is a sporting superstar. a diminutive figure who is massive in the world of gymnastics. after 18 months out of the sport, simone biles is back. her timeout wasn't always easy. former us gymnastics doctor larry nassar was found guilty of serial sexual abuse. biles publicly admitted she was one of his victims. but she is aiming to take off where she left the sport, at the rio olympics in 2016 she won five medals, four were gold. in the brazilian heat, she set the sporting world ablaze. everyone thinks we

bush was in tony blair's suite. and the bombing happened. and it was morning there.he british public. and george bush ultimately a few hours later would have to address the u.s. public. so they called in their communications staff. and there, the most eloquent leader on the world stage, tony blair was, you know, with his pencil. and george bush, who i revere, but was not thought of as the world's fanciest communicator -- [ laughter ] said to tony blair, "hey, here are my communications folks." i was like, "oh, god, i'm sure he doesn't need us." we're going to watch his remarks. and steal some lines from him. [ laughter ] they were good -- they were close enough that tony blair sort of laughed it off and said, "thank you, george. you know, i've got this." [ light laughter ] but the idea was, you know, that terror united the world's leaders and it was important to them. this was a summit where bono was there trying to draw attention to global poverty. and it was important to tony blair and george w. bush to speak out at this moment of terror. you look at what happened

my colleague jane hill spoke to sir david king former chief scientific advisor under both tony blair and gordon brown. he said that achieving the lower target was critical to the future of the planet. there is no doubt in my mind, there was one of those pushing very hard at the agreement to get the 1.5, if possible. i think if we wander up towards two and above, it becomes extraordinarily challenging to see how we can manage the risks to humanity going forward. i think the ip cc report that is shortly coming out is going to set out, i'm sure, how we can achieve this target, the 1.5 degrees target. it is critically important that we do but let me say, we are not even close to achieving that now. in other words, our burning fossil fuels continues and greenhouse gasses are still

it is reminiscent of tony blair and gordon brown, remember when they said, when tony blair was asked to tell what he was stepping down, to step aside? yeah, ifeel sorry for her, it is incredibly unhelpful, because right now she should really concentrate on brexit. this whole brouha ha should really concentrate on brexit. this whole brouhaha in the conservative party, with the brexiteers, jacob rees—mogg, boris johnson, you know, conjuring up all the dissent, it is not helpful because she has to negotiate now with europe, not within her own party. she is, and that is the reality and today she delivers her speech at the tory party conference. last year there were all sorts going on, letters falling down behind her, she lost her voice, a protest ran in with his p45, it was chaos. it was chaos but i am sure that people learn and she has a good machine behind her, after all, downing street, so i am sure she will be fine and it will be interesting to see what she says beyond brexit. remember when she came into power she said she wanted to have the country for everybody and she wanted to be

yet it's started looking grateful and i think tony blair and george w. bush and i remember this very well it was very convenient for them because of their failure in iraq because of the big lie that saddam had w m d's what did tony blair come out to say say look although we did not find them in iraq but actually we found them in libya and we managed to get rid of them in libya without a war so yeah so totally lurkers wanted to promote that as a success story and it was very convenient for. both for gadhafi to remain in power and to to be you had billy tatum and for tony blair and so i was out there and w. bush george w. bush to actually show some sort of a success against the background of that failure in iraq. we saw a stream of western companies coming back to the view including british as well as american oil companies martin came back on the phillips came back this territory and came back charles came back. and then they take him to go next level of allowing him to visit you and he was there in france and paris would circassian signing the agreement

you know, tony blair was a centrist. marco rubio's a centrist, mitt romney's a centrist. my politics. in terms of assessing the trump administration, i think, i think there's style and then there's substance, and i'm not going to comment about style. but i'm very happy that the united states economy is doing well. i'm very happy we're at record low unemployment rates. there are a lot of good things that have happened. people want to assign some of the credit to ma, some -- barack obama, some to donald trump. that's their -- everyone has their own opinion. i just think it's wonderful to see the u.s. economy growing again over 4%. i think our big competitor, you know, is china, and that if we let china's economy pass us up, be we let china develop -- if we let china produce more engineers than we do, if we let china's technology companies beat our technology companies, it won't be long that our military is behind technologically also, our economy's behind technologically. we have a serious competition going on with china. i'm on team usa. i would like us to be successful. i

just like a player —— just like tony blair and mandelson did.t you need to become head of government. -- 4096 need to become head of government. -- 40% of need to become head of government. —— 40% of people. need to become head of government. -- 4096 of people. interesting story on the telegraph. i think we all thought that this is a great way of looking at this. we have not seen this discussed before. it is often older mothers that are discussed when it comes to children and illnesses. now this is a report saying babies of men over 45 arbor creek discovered a host of problems. this is interesting. i think this is the first kind of major study into this issue. -- men over45 the first kind of major study into this issue. -- men over 45 years old. this is and the does not get discussed. but it's fascinating that it has taken so long anyway for a study like this to come along which books that men stop the this study has been around for a long time, a 40 year study, i want to the study. is fascinating and interesting because... these be something li

they were told member tony blair standing up there and saying there were no immigrants nobody was moving into the united kingdom and yet millions were moving in millions were moving into sheffield and manchester and and birmingham and places outside of london and so the people could see something that was absolutely denied on the mainstream media now i myself personally am happy with lots of immigration i don't believe in any borders actually but nevertheless those people are concerned about immigration and. in the u.k. right now you've got to. do responsibly needs to take. seriously negotiate in good faith this is the same with germany. not going to negotiate in good faith with the. special but i'm talking about how the financial media reports and what they're reporting on and the fact is that like this this article. it's out when the next financial crisis happens right now especially in not going to know nobody's going to be prepared in america the population is not being warned because there's like this political craziness on mainstream media i mean the cable news is just filled with

they were told like i member tony blair standing up there and saying there were no immigrants nobody was going to trust that most. of the time. you cannot operate as united nations this is not just about you and d.p. world health organization and other international organizations like the international committee of the red cross you cannot work in a place like gaza with matic cooperation with the local authorities which are hamas in this case or has been for most of the last few years. to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go to the press this is what it looks like three of them or ten people. i'm interested in the waters in the. west should. have faith in this government official of president facing the system. i've got it i'm too liberal the system designed for people like this woman. because there are. different people here for different reasons. most people in philadelphia are only about two paychecks away from homelessness. join me every day simon chill and i'll be speaking to get a feel of the worl

cia whistleblower edward snowden now it taking refuge in moscow heywood was tony blair's principle private secretary it was he who was questioned over delays to the iraq inquiry because of the alleged cover up of blair bush meeting minutes tony benn on this program in what would be his final t.v. interview alluded to it when accusing heywood's boss monty did with committing war crime in a question about that world war crime i think what happened was he gave a private assurances to bush the bush wanted to attack iraq he would support team and i think that may have influenced bush. to go to war because you thought he'd be thrown have written on my butt heywood's role in maybe one million dead was not question this week by ben's protege. labor leader jeremy corbyn who had this to say about jeremy hayward i do join the prime minister in thank you the former head of the civil service jeremy how he would for his public service wish him well in his recovery and i have to say in my conversations with him what an impressive well informed and dedicated public servant he is now and what had britain's

tony blair is the first to acknowledge that. and to have something named after her then is...that. she would be thrilled to bits. soon now her name will be given to the main walkway along the canal and through the pleasure gardens in the queen elizabeth park, and here today that went down well. i was thining about what are the benefits going to be to us as londoners? but once it was built in the olympics came out, i thought oh my god this is absolutely fantastic. yeah, definitely i agree it should be named after her. i think it's really appropriate. she was a really good politician. one of the few i think to be honest with you these days. i think it is a great tribute. tessa jowell died in may, having moved many in the way she confronted her rain cancer. i am not afraid. i feel very clear about my sense of purpose. today the tributes focused on her warmth and kindness, unusual, people said in a politician, and two brixton youth workers remembered vividly their first meeting. we had a small white ladyjust standing in the corner listening ever so intently. we had no idea who she

you would say that tony blair was in no way a left—of—centre politician, would you?ervice, money that the tories starved the national health service of. but at the very same time, he did it by aligning himself fully with the city of london, turning a blind eye to the private money minting of the private banks, and creating the circumstances that led to 2008 and to the collapse in 2008. what i'm getting to is that john mcdonnell, the current shadow chancellor of the exchequer here in the uk, hasjust made a big speech where he's painted a picture of a radical economic programme, including, just one example, the mandatory imposition on business in the uk of a need to have 10% of their shares given to the workers in the company. the dividends would then go to those workers, and there would be a cap on the amount of dividend to be received by each worker, and the excess beyond that would go to the government. so it would actually be a huge new corporate tax. it would fundamentally change the relationship between the state and the corporate centre in the uk, in a very sort

are people nostalgic for the days of william hague, tony blair and david cameron? yes, certainly.in saying they want an end to the punch and duty politics but that is what gets the spirit soaring. it is a bit hospital rest home. there is no urgency about it. to attack the old saying, the weak are a long time in politics it seems, they have now seen jeremy corbyn and theresa may for in her case two years, in his case three years and they are sick of it. it is like a long—running play that has not been put out of his memory. isn't part of the mps‘ job at westminster to cheer for their own leader, even if it is just a favour for their own party whips? that probably shows what a state party leaders are in that their whips cannot persuade the cheerleaders to come out and bear it. what we saw wednesday with theresa may is we had a few of the sycophants that did their yodelling, but there were a number of bored faces and especially those who should be quite senior. borisjohnson was looking at his phone throughout, and the former brexit minister was at the back, not engaged at all. if mps

tony blair years ago had terrible perspiration during one of his conference speeches.nd in particular at the moment, because there is this frenzy around how close we are to a deal or no deal, and the government published so many papers on friday about technical reports coming out every few days suggesting what can happen and what will and can't work and what we will do in the event of a no deal, the pressure is on. jacob rees—mogg himself has been touted as a potential leader. not sure what would happen there. his name has come up would happen there. his name has come up a would happen there. his name has come up a few times. we won't go into that. the observer, leaked e—mails reveal dup chief is ready for no—deal brexit. arlene foster, it appears, had a less than satisfactory meeting with michel barnier. and of course he doesn't have to negotiate with her. he can meet and chat with her, but he will talk to theresa may. he doesn't have to negotiate with her. i think the eu are not quite aware of how much power she holds over theresa may's government and they might unde

that i mean a lot of people will talk about the fact that you had thatcherism post that truism tony blair kind of continued with the same policies but actually what is film talked about looks at is the fact that the policies were actually prefigured even in a pre labor government project. so long approaches the pros is that forty year period of neo liberalism which you know which is kind of now run its course with the two thousand and eight crash started at precisely that time all those things basically got the film is in a sense is about the fact that all these ideas that with their very strongly at that time had to be destroyed for nearly britain to take place and we have lucas aerospace workers actually being able to see. the stifling of innovation that happens through capitalism people know today steve jobs who appears in in your film and think of them as great innovators something of a look at this was discovering the balance sheets and realizing presumed like apple workers haven't. how far these big companies these great business success stories are basically subsidized by ordinary

remaining inside the european union i think the real fault lies with new labor and tony blair and gordon brown who didn't have a coherent or any industrial strategy to address the precarious employment that you know the housing crisis the difficulties that people are facing in the coal field communities in the old mill towns and textile towns and manufacturing towns and cities up and down the country and i think had we done that and given people a real stake then nothing we want to see in a very different outcome because you think they didn't do in my opinion was a sufficiently promote opposed to benefits have been is not your opinion but we have a seem to hear about in the media only from politicians with the negative elements of the opinion i think that was the real difficult and that's why we're going to in the situation that we're in today. for checkers like myself a keeper close political betting another phenomenon of the liverpool conference your odds of being the next labor leader went from one hundred to one to twenty. to no one if called would you don't don't don't but don't vot
