If brexit was a pinball skimpier, do you feel at the moment one million british people live there is the head of the holes . Elsewhere in the eu. Going in the right direction . We are many more in the uk have the right to apply for citizenship making progress. He wasnt going to in other eu countries. Since the referendum, they have been doing just that, in record numbers. It has not been £1155 get fire on that issue. He is an amateur pinball player. He has talked about it in the past and britain the right track on brexit. Anotherfriend or foe in brexit talks, an important voice, perhaps not one of their do as they are talked about like 12 months before ii; if it has not been £1155 get 12 months before the z 77 in the 12 months before the referendum, 25,000 brits applied for Emmanuel Macron or it Anglo American will when it comes to shipping in irish passports. In the 12 months directly after, it was more than 60 exchange, but nonetheless important is the lithuanian president. This is what he had to say. 4000. Sharp increases have been seen today we can say that negotiations elsewhere, in spain, numbers rose from 2000 before the referendum, up area to 4000 afterwards. Today we can say that negotiations are a little bit behind schedule, and today we are already facing the in other countries around the eu, necessity of a transitional order an sweden, denmark and poland for additional period for brexit, and example, the number of applications this is the message that we need to is also more than doubled. Be openly acknowledging to each there are countries where data is other. That the brexit negotiations made available in different ways. In are out of schedule. Is anything germany, it comes state by state so, else that you want to see that its in berlin, there were 60 not quite there yet for you . For me applications from british citizens in the year before the referendum, orderfor us orfor that and 800 the year after. Not quite there yet for you . For me order for us or for that when you personally, we do not have france provides figures on a individual interest. Is all european calendar year basis. The increase is interest and i think all european striking. From 385 in 2015, up to and reddish interests, we need to find thejoint and reddish interests, we need to than 2000 eight months of this year. Find the joint solution but role. British interests. Good for all. A lot of the leaders were not talking about brexit, but listening to Emmanuel Macron. His vision for a europe. He said effectively there have been a dead ten years. He blamed david cameron, saying that when he was trying to open the referendum, you never wholeheartedly this isnt just than 2000 eight months of this year. Went to the yes vote, it was always this isntjust a one way street, there are more than 3 million eu citizens in the uk, equally concerned about their status after yes, but. He had some criticism. Brexit. Again, the number of citizenship applications is striking, in the year leading up to he gave a sense of new life for the referendum, there were nearly 16,000. In the year immediately europe. Somebody coined the phrase after, that rose up to 20 8000. Across europe, tens of thousands of people are taking the precaution of that this is about by the way taking a second passport in case brexit negotiations fail. Brits are entitled to the diplomacy forgeries may in the citizenship of another country, if sidelines. Meeting Angela Merkel you have a irish grandad or polish todays is to ask where she stands mum. That doesnt get you much extra because we already have the rights ofan eu on brexit. With british troops here because we already have the rights of an eu citizen. As well, this is part of a nato a reminder why Citizens Rights is umbrella why we are here, i think one of the most important issues in this could well be a useful summit those negotiations. This is about forgeries in may. Thank you for the real people worried about their moment. Four theresa may. Future. You can hear more on that story on bbc radio 4s more or less today dozens of conservative mps at 4. 30pm or on bbc iplayer radio.

This is to detect the most plenty of other concerns, and vulnerable and give them funds to Something Like Energy Prices strikes make their homes suitable for them right at the heart, doesnt it, but to live in as their condition a lot of people hope politicians deteriorates. The fact bureaucratic might get involved in day to day. We have seen big price rises coming ineptitude is stopping people getting that discount is not a good from the Big Six Energy firms. And scenario. A welsh climber has been killed in a rock fall at Yosemite National park in california. 32 year old Andrew Foster became now this letter thats been trapped when more than a thousand tonnes of rock fell from the face circulating for a while, but has a of el capitan on wednesday. His wife was also seriously injured. Huge number of signatures on it. Lets bring in the conservative mp, long time campaigner on this. But the Foreign Office says its providing support and assistance to mr fosters family. Pick some the complexities here. We our correspondent Richard Galpin are talking about standard variable is following this story, our corresj can ent Richard Galpin tariffs. What in essence are they untimely people are on them . The standard variable tired as most of our corresj can you tichard galpin ere e f us standard variable tired as most of us end up on if we forget to switch or we have never switched. If you wife . Dont know what our view on, its he is 32, an experienced climber. Almost certainly that one. The bad news is, that is the rip off the as we heard, it seems he had been deal. Youre almost certainly paying more than you need to. You alongside scouting a route to go up el capitan a good number of labour and snp mps itself, a huge rock climb. They were wa nt a good number of labour and snp mps want the government to do something just scouting, looking which way about this . Absolutely. The good news is, the idea of the temporary they were going to go. At that point, this huge rock slide cap to reduce that rip off was in three election manifestos. The happened, and entire slab coming off conservatives, labour and the snp the face of the mountain. Something all promised some kind of price cap as high as an apartment block, huge to deal with that and bring the big six to heal. It has cross Party Support and should be something that amounts of rock, absolutely terrifying. He was killed, crushed. In spite of all the arguments about his wife was injured and taken to brexit, everyone agrees upon and the odd to be able to get on and do it. Hospital, and is still in hospital. Why hasnt anything happened . We assume she has suffered really quite severe injuries. Odd to be able to get on and do it. Why hasnt anything happened . At the moment there has been a problem with we are seeing pictures of the area oft gem. They have the legal powers after the rock slide, do we know to fit in a cap, but they only want whether there were any warnings that it any cap covers a part of the this might happen . Others have been market. There are 17 million households on those awful rip off tariffs. After only one to cover if you have those. We are paying about one point £4 billion extra a year. There is a bit of a two and four, a political arm wrestle going on between politicians and parliament and afterm. Summary between politicians and parliament and after m. Summary has to do it. But easy to be viewers who said, hang ona but easy to be viewers who said, hang on a minute, to the conservative mp advocating this, id be about to be advocates of the free market . What job is be about to be advocates of the free market . Whatjob is it of the government to be meddling . There are ways you can do it that are a pretty friendly to competition and the underlying point of glorious is that as the competition and markets authority said, adding regulators said, we need to fix the market in the long term so that the customer is king. So that all the things that we take for granted when we go and buy cornflakes or copy any supermarket apply in the energy market, too. But that wont be quick. We need an interim fix even if it is only temporary. I would love that, in order to make sure that looking after people in the meantime. Thank you. Longtime campaigner on this. All of this discussion and debate underway here at westminster just days before the conservative conference site in manchester on monday. The headlines on bbc newsroom live the governor of the bank of england gives his clearest indication yet that Interest Rates could rise as soon as that Interest Rates could rise as soon as next month. The Prime Minister meet eu leaders in estonia for the First Time Since her brexit speech in florence. And the number of british people applying for citizenship in other eu countries has risen by tens of thousands.

And frustration in malaysia, for championship leader Lewis Hamilton, he struggled in practice finishing sixth. Sebastian vettel was quickest. I will be back with more on all bluster at 11 30am. On all those stories. Care is being compromised because of a shortage of nurses in nhs hospitals and in some cases, patients are dying alone on wards, according to the Royal College of nursing. In a survey of 30,000 of its members across the uk, more than half said they were upset after their last shift because they couldnt provide the care they wanted. Jenny walrond reports. The Royal College of nursing survey heard from members describing themselves as exhausted, demoralised, and totally burned out. In may, it asked nurses to describe their last shift. Among more than 30,000 responses were stories of delays in giving essential medication such as insulin for diabetics. Patients were wetting their beds because no one was helping them to the bathroom. And people were dying alone. Nurses also talked of family tensions caused by the long hours they worked and sobbing because they were unable to give patients the care they believe they needed. I have seen i have seen nurses i have seen nurses being so stressed at the innovation that they are in tea rs. They have been so stressed with the level of care they are having to provide. I think we have now got to the stage where the nhs is in the worst level that i have seen it in my 40 year careeras a nurse, and i think we are now seeing patient care suffering because of it. The department of health says there are over 11,000 more nurses on the wards than seven years ago, and it has committed to finding an extra 10,000 posts for nurses and other Health Workers by 2020. But nhs providers that represent hospitals and other health trusts says the report is a powerful reminder of the relentless pressures faced by front line staff and that trusts are doing all they can to sustain safe Staffing Levels under the most difficult circumstances. Jenny walrond, bbc news. Joining me now is lara carmona, the associate director of policy, at the Royal College of nursing which conducted the survey. Thank you forjoining us. Thank you forjoining uslj thank you forjoining us. Ijust wa nt to thank you forjoining us. Ijust want to read something out for viewers. The survey that you did, seven out of ten nurses in england said that their last day tim shift exceeded official staffing guidelines, more than eight patients to one nurse should act as a red flag, yet 26 of them reported shifts with 14 or war patients power nurse. That wouldve statistic frightening. Aura more patients power nurse. The thing that is most distressing about this is the impact on the care that they are desperate to provide for their patients, but also their personal and professional working conditions. Out of all the things we surveyed about, one of the most shocking that is that over half said he was compromised and over have reported that Staffing Levels we re have reported that Staffing Levels were shorter than what was planned for. This also showed over half said they didnt take the break they were supposed to and more than a third worked over an hour unpaid. If they werent taking those breaks and working extra hours, the situation would be much worse. Nursing staff are bit in an impossible position in which they are simply not able to do the work they are trained to do and they are personally shouldering that gap in the need for patient care. Water to vacancy rates are you have any profession at the moment . Water to vacancy rates are you have any profession at the moment7m june this year, we reported through a. 40,000 staff are needed. Its clear that despite what the government says in terms of the numbers of growth, we have a huge situation in terms of what is actually available on these systems. Spokespeople are being selective with the facts. The government says they are investing any profession, it says there will be 10,000 more nurses and Health Workers by 2020, do you have any faith in that . We will see what comes out in the wash. The important thing is that there has been a historical gap in terms of the noted that we need. 10,000 against that backdrop of 40,000 needed is just a against that backdrop of 40,000 needed isjust a drop in the ocean. The numbers that the government give our only part of the story. Is that their people dont want to go into their people dont want to go into the profession, i leaving the profession in higher rates . What is the context of this number of vacancies . It looks like the impact of brexit is encouraging eu nationals to go away and leave the service. On top of that, but the first time in many years, more uk nurses are reaping the profession than ever before. To return to what the government described as growth, the government described as growth, the actual government figures are really clear that we are only 934 nurses more than what we had in 2010. We have the same numbers shifted around in terms of where nurses are actually working inside the system. Lets bring this down a level from governments, lets look at immediate management. Do nurses feel that management are listening to them and doing all they can to try to deal with the staffing of nursing jobs . Nursing staff and managers described incidents where they are not responded to. We are seeing that everybody is under pressure and the south are not available. Finally, what more can an organisation like the icm do . I strike still on the agenda . Well have to see what the government decides to do with the budget announcement in november. Nurses have been clear that pay is important, but the truth is that safe staffing is even more important. Thank you very much. For the first time, former members of the official ira are being considered for prosecution for their alleged role in the events of bloody sunday. Police have forwarded a file to the Public Prosecution service on one former ira member and is understood to be preparing a file on a second. Chris page is in belfast. Undoubtably, this will be no less controversial than the suggested that former soldiers could be prosecuted in relation to bloody sunday as well as maxlj prosecuted in relation to bloody sunday as well as max i think that is right. There is still a spotlight on the events of bloody sunday in january 1970 on the events of bloody sunday in january1970 two, one of the most significant and dreadful days in the history of the troubles when soldiers of the regiment shot dead 13 demonstrators at a civil rights protest in the bogside area and another man died of his injuries some months later. I public enquiry into press. The saddle enquiry and it found that the shootings were unjustified, none of the people who we re unjustified, none of the people who were killed posed a threat and then after that, police began an investigation. Prosecutors have filed some documents on former soldiers going through them deciding whether to bring charges on former soldiers. This is the first time that the idea has been raised that some republicans might be prosecuted. Relatives of people who died on bloody sunday and that letter says, it will take at least another six months to come to a decision as to whether to bring charges including murder against the former soldiers. But also says police have submitted a file on an additional suspect and that the suspect is not a soldier and is not alleged to have shot any civilian. This particular file relates to official alleged ira activity on bloody sunday. According to the letter, it also understood the police are preparing another file on a second person of the activities of the official diary on bloody sunday. Official i a. There were two branches of the ira operating in Northern Ireland. The Republican Movement split into the official ira and the provisional ira. Later on, the official ira declared a ceasefire and went down a more political socialist route and the provisional ira carried on their armed campaign. Its the former members of the official diary you are being considered for prosecution. Briefly if you would, chris, any political reaction to this . What are the political integration is likely to be diverse . No political reaction yet. The potential for soldiers to be prosecuted has been controversial with unionists and some members of the conservative party. Policing of the conservative party. Policing of the past and investigations into the gas remains very complex here in Northern Ireland with national saying has people some members the security and the republicans.
