this is not a covid backlog, a tory backlog, after a decade of tory mismanagement, that nhs had a goodillion before the pandemic. hospitals know that the number of people waiting for operations, but what they don't know is the number on the hidden waiting list, that is those who are at the height of the pandemic did not come forward but who have conditions which may yet require surgery. the institute for fiscal studies has projected a head, the green light showing the waiting list, now at a 6 million from the blue dotted line what might happen if 30% of the missing patients return and the orange dotted line, if 80% come forward. so there are many unknowns and one of them is a future workforce numbers. the plan is asking for a 30% increase in activity by 2a—25 but there is not the same increase in staff so without that, it's not clear how the nhs is going to deliver all that increased activity. and fought some like rosie, the wait goes on. following a cancer diagnosis, she had a mastectomy, but since then has been waiting nearly two years for reconstructive surgery. you just want to get

this isn't a covid backlog, it's a tory backlog.fter a decade of tory mismanagement, the nhs had record waiting lists of 4.5 million before the pandemic. the numbers being referred for treatment dropped by 10 million during the pandemic — some patients finally receiving treatment say they've been in great pain. i can't describe the pain, i can't describe the discomfort. i mean, i cry every day because i can't do what i want to do. we'll be looking at the new plans — including those to reduce waiting times for cancer treatment. also tonight... massive profits for the oil giant bp, prompting new calls for a windfall tax to help households with rising energy bills. in northern ireland, the police watchdog has found evidence of �*collusive behaviour�* by police in ii murders by loyalist paramilitaries in belfast in the 1990s. the story of camilla and public opinion — we report on the change achieved by the future queen consort. what you doing, getting mixed up with her? and benedict cumberbatch is among several british nominees in the l

it's not as color, tory, but how do you think it will be perceived by the kremlin? i mean, the us, their state department has talked about the need for de escalation with this deployment. does it risk escalating tensions? no, we should ask russia why they deploy more than 100000 troops. and by the end of february, more than $150000.00 troops, about 60 percent of their ramp lent forces. this is as colored, tory, and it's quite clear that we repeats are really nervous. and we see this as an escalation without any need. russia has breached the budapest memorandum ukraine has handed over more than 20 years ago. it's nuclear weapons, and now it lose the sovereignty and territorial integrity. so we, europeans must stand together and it's a sign of solidarity to it from the united states, to as europeans. it's not as color, tory to russia, we should ask russia, why do you escalate at the ukranian border? are you worried that germany could become a kind of a launch pad for any military activity? if the security situation in ukraine deteriorates? germany has a task and a mis
