Of followers. The New York Times was barred from publishing any more classified and Steven Spielbergs new film on nixon and the press, and why the director sees echoes of donald trump. Anybody that offends, you know, there is a label that is immediately attached to them which is called, well that cant be true because theyre all fake news. And coming up on sportsday on bbc news, slam dunks and celtics the bright lights of the nba hits london again this evening. Good evening. Dozens of senior doctors who run accident and Emergency Departments in england and wales have written a stark letter to the Prime Minister warning that patients are dying prematurely in hospital corridors and conditions are at times intolerable. They say thousands of patients are left in the back of ambulances waiting to get into a e. And very high rates of flu recently mean that some hospitals are running out of beds. Today, theres fresh evidence of the pressure a e units are under. More than 300,000 patients waited longer than they should in december. Staff managed to see 85 of patients within four hours thats well below the 95 target and some of the worst figures since records began. 0ur Health Editor hugh pym reports. A long wait in an overcrowded a e unit, thats what 87 year old yvonne had to endure. It was ten hours before she saw a doctor, and hours more before she was admitted to a ward. Her daughter, esther, used herscarf to secure her in a wheelchair, because for some of the time, there was no trolley. It was just heaving with ambulances, ambulance drivers, patients on the ambulance trolleys, and it was literally wall to wall, both sides, corridors just full of patients. It was like, gosh, how long is it going to take us to get through . And with scenes like this filmed by a patient, senior a e doctors say theyre so concerned theyve written to the Prime Minister setting out some of their own experiences. Over 120 patients a day managed in corridors, some dying prematurely, an average of 10 12 hours for a decision to admit a patient until they are transferred to a bed and patients sleeping in clinics as make shift wards. They say nhs winter planning failed to deliver what was needed. There is no doubt that our Emergency Departments are facing we absolutely must Work Together as system leaders at every level in order to find both short term and medium term solutions. The Prime Minister insisted again there had been extensive measures to prepare for winter. For the first time ever, urgent gp appointments being available throughout the christmas period, that was a decision taken to improve the service for people but also to ensure that the nhs had that better capacity to deal with these winter pressures. For the opposition, the problem is really about funding. Moneys got to go in now, but it should have gone in earlier. Even if the chancellor announced billions today, you cant spend it all by tomorrow. While the debate goes on, rosie can only reflect on a humiliating experience in a e. She was in severe pain and was bleeding heavily i think i was trolley number 12. And there were trolleys, then, all the way up. You cant see to someones dignity, you cant ensure that theyre having a private conversation and that if they break down in tears, which, i think i did, im pretty sure that i cried as well but you cant look into anybodys right to privacy or anything like that. At some hospitals like ipswich they say careful planning paid off and though staff were stretched, they coped with the pressures. At times over the really busy new year period there were trolleys down the corridor here but at this a e unit things do seem to have calmed a little this week, with fewer patients coming through the front door of the hospital, though no ones complacent about what the weeks ahead may bring. The medical director told me that flu was a significant concern. Weve worked very well to get our staff vaccinated but were not at all complacent. I think the next two months are going to be a challenging time. We are looking still to get flu vaccinations for vulnerable patients and Staff Members and the battle isnt over. And with the latest figures showing the highest numbers of flu figures in seven years, Health Leaders call for vaccinations for nhs staff to be compulsory. Some hospitals have greater than 90 vaccinations for their health workers, others less than 20 . This has to be an issue of leadership but we need people in the Health Care Sector to protect their patients. We have a duty of care to our patients. Flus been an even bigger problem for scotlands hospitals, a teenager died after catching the virus which developed into pneumonia. Scotland and wales as well as england have missed a e waiting time targets. One answer, say the consultants in their letter, is a big increase in social care funding to allow more patients to leave hospitals to be cared for in the community. Its a debate gaining momentum as the nhss bleak winter continues. Hugh pym, bbc news. 0ur Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg is in westminster. Certainly a very stark letter to the Prime Ministerfrom certainly a very stark letter to the Prime Minister from these very senior doctors. Politically, how awkward is this for the government . This isnt the first government thats had to grapple with these agonising pressures on the Health Service in the winter and they are not the first government to have been around and in charge when a conversation about the longer term needs and sustainability of the nhs has done the rounds at this time of year. However, there does seem to be something a bit different this year, not just because of something a bit different this year, notjust because of how stark warnings are, how awful the experiences of some patients that are emerging have been, but because there is a mood in the tory party, there is a mood in the tory party, the governing party, there are more and more voices speaking out, raising the question of whether or not the current model can last without some significant change. Either in how we pay for it, or in a significant extra amount of cash going in. Now numberten significant extra amount of cash going in. Now number ten and significant extra amount of cash going in. Now numberten and number 11 of course who are in charge of the money, are not yet in a place either publicly or behind closed doors where they would acknowledge that something does have to budge, but its well worth noting that the health secretary, jeremy hunt, who remember fort and won the battle to stay in hisjob remember fort and won the battle to stay in his job this week, said remember fort and won the battle to stay in hisjob this week, said mps in the house of commons, notjust that he would quite like to have a 10 yearfunding that he would quite like to have a 10 year funding deal for the Health Service, but that in the coming yea rs service, but that in the coming years significantly cash, significantly more money would have to go into the Health Service. Now, plenty of debates and conversations about the long term model, should there be radical change, have frankly hit the buffers, but there isa frankly hit the buffers, but there is a sense round here right now that perhaps in the coming months the political pressure on the governments position in the nhs is going to build and build and something might have to give. What the Prime Minister did want to talk about today was in fact the environment . Yes, very telling. Theresa mays first big speech of this first new year was basically her message to say, if you will want to go green, you have to vote blue. She launched the governments big environmental plan to cover the next 25 years today. Top of her hit list, a crackdown on plastics, with the environment now seeming to be one of her top political priorities. What do you think i should look for . A grand vision, we were promised, a plan to look after the spaces around us for years to come, and the Prime Minister trying to spot political opportunity, too. The environment is something personal to each of us but is also something which collectively we hold in trust for the next generation, and we have a responsibility to protect and enhance it. Top of the list, cleaning up plastics that harm wildlife on land and sea, more charges for plastic bags, possible taxes on containers, encouraging shops to use less. But over time, a long time, with no new law to underline the change. In years to come, i think people will be shocked at how today we allow so much plastic to be produced needlessly. This truly is one of the great environmental scourges of our time. So we will take action at every stage of the production and consumption of plastic. Youre talking about ideas that will take place over 25 years with no legal guarantees. If actions speak louder than words, do you really believe this problem is acute and urgent . This is an inspiring plan, it is a long term plan, its about the next 25 years. But its a plan that speaks to everybody who has an interest in our environment. Everybody who wants to ensure that future generations are able to enjoy a beautiful environment and a beautiful place in which to live. Looking on, alongside the white faced whistling ducks, green campaigners pleased there is a plan. But not quite convinced that a government that also believes in fracking and building high speed rail really means it. The problem about talking about a 25 year plan right now, in the absence of hard measures about what they will do here and now, is this is a government where most commentators question if it will last 25 months, or possibly even 25 days. What we need is to know what are the actions happening in 2018 to make a difference. Theresa may says conservation and conservatism have always gone hand in hand, but this isntjust about principles, or policy, or this new environment plan, its also about politics and how the tories fell back at the general election. Anxious that millions of Younger Voters turned to labour then, the tories have tried to detox their image with those groups, greening their credentials, banning microbeads, plans to end the sale of ivory. What does labour make of the plastics plan . 25 years is far too long. The plastic culture has to be challenged. The throw away Society Culture has to be challenged and the pollution of our rivers and our seas by Plastic Waste is absolutely dreadful. The Prime Minister believes her promise is the right one to make. Her hope to create a habitat more friendly to her political breed. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news. 0ur environment analyst roger harrabinjoins me now. Plastics and dealing with them is what has grabbed the headlines, but what has grabbed the headlines, but what the Prime Minister announced today was much broader and ambitious plans to improve our environment. Its ironic she focused on plastics because thats one of the weakest areas of the document she produced today. If she wants to be a world leader in plastics, which she says she does, maybe someone should have told her that bangladesh banned plastic bags back in 2002. We are lagging in the uk behind many african countries in that. Having said that, she has set the tone for government, one that we havent seen before. Ministers have been nervous about talking about the environment. The plan itself is in many ways really quite radical. It talks about not just holding the really quite radical. It talks about notjust holding the environment study, which governments have tried to do before, but actually improving it, improving wildflowers, which are almost down to 2 now of their previous range, in improving forests and rivers, perhaps bringing more greenery back to peoples playgrounds, childrens playgrounds, bringing the environment into peoples lives. All that looks radical. Some caveats. Nothing on how they will reduce c02 radical. Some caveats. Nothing on how they will reduce co2 emissions in line with the Paris Agreement and that crucial caveat, no underpinning by law, no firm policies, no money, nice pictures of bunnies but it could be on the shelf within a year. Roger harrabin, thank you. A brief look at some of the days other other news stories. The former ukip leader nigel farage says hes on the verge of supporting a second referendum on britains membership of the european union. He said a second vote to leave could kill off the remain campaign for a generation. He said he thought the leave vote would be even higher if there were another poll. The foreign secretary borisjohnson has joined with other european Foreign Ministers to call on donald trump not to reintroduce sanctions against iran. Mrjohnson said the current arrangement was the best way of stopping iran acquiring nuclear weapons, and no one had yet come up with a better diplomatic solution. Dominic chappell, who was in charge of bhs when it went bust in 2016, has been found guilty on three charges of failing to provide information demanded by the pensions regulator. The scheme had 19,000 members and a shortfall of £571 million when bhs collapsed. Hell be sentenced at a later date. Lingerie company rigby peller said it was deeply saddened at losing its most prestigious customer the queen. It had held the Royal Warrant since 1960. But the decision to cancel it came after the retailers director wrote a book storm in a d cup revealing details of life inside buckingham palace. Shares in marks and spencer dropped sharply today after the retailer posted disappointing christmas results, with falls in both food and clothing sales. But there was good news for tesco and for some more recent arrivals on the retail scene, as our Business Correspondent emma simpson reports. The shows over, weve moved on, but the christmas story for retailers is only now becoming clear. So who are some of the winners and losers . Tescos done well with sales up today, so have many of the other grocers. But food sales, usually a bright spot for marks spencer, went into reverse, and there have been profit warnings at debenhams, mothercare and moss bros. Things are certainly more challenging here on the high street. Take house of fraser, a business under pressure, it saw another fall in sales today. And you dont have to go far to see how the gap between the weaker and the stronger players is widening. Here atjohn lewis, it had no problems. Pulling customers in. Its one of the winners today. Theres a sort of slight air of caution about peoples attitudes. Theyre not coming in for all sorts. For perfectly understandable reasons. But there is demand there, you just have to go and find it and you have to create the conditions where people want things and of course that comes to down to having fabulous products. And it actually means you have to be outstanding at online and shops. Boohoo is a small but fast growing online retailer, which is doing very nicely without shops. And is expecting to grow sales by 90 this year. But some are predicting problems for the high street ahead. This is going to be the year of retail distress. Weve already seen bits of distress percolating through even before christmas and i think that the weaker players are going to find it too tough to really survive. Its been a season of mixed fortunes for retailers. The new year heralds the clearance sales and some uncertainty about what 2018 will bring. Emma simpson, bbc news. Hundreds of rescuers are using helicopters, search dogs and thermal Imaging Equipment to try to find 8 people who are still missing in california after the devastating mudslides on tuesday. 17 people are known to have died after a torrent of mud carrying boulders the size of small cars smashed through the town of montecito. More than 500 homes have been damaged or destroyed. James cook is there for us. James . Yes, sophie, we have details, in the past few seconds, the Police Released the name of all 17 of those who confirmeded to have died. Including four children, aged, three, six, attendant twelve and the old est three, six, attendant twelve and the oldest person to have been killed so far, an 89 year old man. There seems little hope of finding more survivors from the terrible tragedy. Weve been getting details about the harrowing moment when the mud landslide roared down this mountain in the dead of night. Turn around the flash flood is right there get out of here, go this was the moment it began. Oh, my god, mom and then panic. Close the door it was a million miles an hour in slow motion, if that makes sense. I clicked into survival gear, survival mode. Wake dad up every second, it is just roaring and banging against the house and the most vicious and violent sounds you have ever heard. Montecito is onlyjust beginning to grasp the scale of the disaster which will bear its name. For this idyllic little town ofjust 9000 people, recovery will be long and hard. People walked their dogs through here, there are trails, my kids have grown up riding their bikes. Noelle strogoff fled with her three children just before the storm. But many of her neighbours did not. Two young boys were swept out of their home, along with their mother in the middle of the night. And the dog is gone. And theyre lucky to be fine. It is like a war zone here. There are homes that arejust missing. And i walk down the street and i see balls, and toys, and bicycles and shoes and socks. And knives and hammers. Its like peoples lives are just washed to the ocean. Much of that debris ended up clogging the main coastal motorway. We were told the people in this car escaped. Above the town, the scorched hills are scarred by rivers of mud. Well, the mudslide came roaring down here, sweeping everything before it and if you want to know how houses can be swept from their foundations so easily, well, this is the answer. Just look at the size of the boulders that were pushed down from the mountains. To drive through this little town is to be stunned by the power of this mudslide. Southern california was once famed for its agreeable climate. These days, it reels from drought, fire and flood. James cook, bbc news, montecito. Personality disorder it affects more than three Million People in the uk and costs the nhs around £10 billion a year. Now Health Professionals are demanding better access to treatment for those affected saying that one in 10 people diagnosed with it end up taking their own lives. Our home editor mark easton reports. Id seen bar codes on the back of my victims neck, that were sending m essa 9 es victims neck, that were sending m essa g es to victims neck, that were sending messages to me, telling me to poison her. It was only when kathleen was moved from a mental clinic, after being accused of trying to poison a work colleague, she was finally diagnosed with a mental disorder. It is one of the darkest places in my head, i have ever been. I would have preferred death to that. Kathleen tried to control a lifetime of chronic self harm and suicidal thoughts, she is not cured. But part of her therapy is helping the nhs getting people with personality disorder into treatment. People are waiting months and months and months for treatment and these people are dying waiting, mark. Because they could kill themselves . It has happened to a lot of my friends, im afraid. What is a personality disorder . A mental diagnosis with two common types, border line or emotional u nsta ble types, border line or emotional unstable personality disorder, involving disturbed ways of thinking and problem in solving emotion, many kill themselves. Anti social personality disorder disorder is similar. Around 70 of the prison population are thought to have pd. A decade ago, Mental Health campaigners were trying to convince that personality disorder existed, even now some psychiatrists question if it is a mental illness. But there isa if it is a mental illness. But there is a big change on the estimated three Million People with the disorder should get. Sometimes it may be appropriate. This treatment in group in wind isson agreed to let us witness the way that therapy helps them deal with problematic behaviour, linked toa with problematic behaviour, linked to a past trauma. Passively suicidal all the time. You are self destructive and push everyone away. Its been a lifetime of depression, trauma, sexual abuse, rape. You lose a sense of wanting to survive. Sometimes doing the simple things can be the hardest thing in the world. You cant help it sometimes. U nfortu nately, world. You cant help it sometimes. Unfortunately, people with personality disorder, what hits the headlines is often violent behaviour. They see them as bad people . Absolutely. That then adds to the problem of those people are not offered the treatment that they may need. They are, i think, the most let down group of people within the nhs. Today in the houses of parliament, campaigners and Health Professionals launched a consensus statement, demanding help for people with pd. Nhs england says getting people the help that they need close to home is at the heart of their plans. We need Early Intervention asking people when younger, what happened to you, how can we help . Giving them tools and skills to help them manage their live, emotions and relationships. Like katherine and others diagnosed with it, personality disorder does not conform to traditional labels. It causes untold misery and country beauties to countless tragic early deaths. It is surely time we helped to understand it better. It is surely time we helped to understand it better.

Youtube has cut business ties with the video blogger logan paul after he posted video appearing to show the body of a suicide victim. Logan paul, whose channel has 15 million subscribers, subsequently apologised for the video, which was filmed on a location injapan. Heres our media editor amol rajan. Were going to take a break from vlogging and take a break from each other. Low budget, confessional and often astonishingly popular. This couple announced they were breaking up on youtube in a video seen 15 million times. If i can do it, you can do it, for sure. Theyre part of a phenomenon called vlogging, or video blogging, very often on google owned youtube. This 21st century Cottage Industry has created a vast new fleet of online celebrities. Many vloggers have a committed following among those aged between 18 and 3a a demographic prized by advertisers. Vloggers like logan paul. The 22 year old american is a youtube star or was. I think this definitely marks a moment in youtube history. This morning, youtube cut business ties with him after he naively posted a video from japans aokigahara forest, infamous as a suicide spot. Paul issued an apology to his 15 million subscribers on youtube. I have made a severe and continuous lapse of myjudgment and i dont expect to be forgiven. Im simply here to apologise. Youtube declined to be interviewed. In a statement, they said its taken us a long time to respond, but weve been listening to everything youve been saying. We know that the actions of one creator can affect the entire community. Vlogging is now a hugely profitable business with the likes of logan paul making vast sums of money in a variety of ways. They get paid between £1 and £3 per 1000 clicks and can top up their income through merchandising and deals with brands. And they do all of that without the more stringent controls applied to traditional media. 0k, rolling that. Licensed broadcasters in britain are regulated by 0fcom and have to vet material before publishing it. Vloggers however face no such constraints. They are only censored after the event. The boss of britains biggest media agency wants to see smarter regulation. I would definitely like to see vloggers with this much reach and this much influence to have the sorts of regulation that traditional broadcasters have to adhere to, particularly around content that can be dangerous, can be glamorising or condoning anti social behaviour, dangerous behaviour, that can be copied by children. Im going to be the biggest entertainer on the planet. Logan paul and his ilk portend a new kind of Celebrity One that is intimate, incessant and ever more devotional. For all of the glory of the open web, the danger is that his kind of immaturity exposes audiences to material thats in nobodys interest. Im just getting warmed up. Amol rajan, bbc news. The hollywood film director Steven Spielberg says he believes the Trump Administration is using the same tactics as president nixon to try to silence the press. Tomorrow sees the release of his latest film the post, which tells the story of the leaking of the classified pentagon papers to american journalists during the vietnam war. Heres our arts editor, will gompertz. This is a devastating Security Breach that was leaked out of the pentagon. Before the watergate scandal, there were the pentagon papers. The first expose of a cover up in the nixon government by the washington post, led by its legendary editor ben bradlee and publisher kay graham. Do you have the papers . Set in 1971. Yes. But you have described it as a timely movie. Well, obviously you just flip the 1 and the 7, or the 7 and the 1, and you really get to see the great arc of the pendulum that has brought us right back to the same tactics that Richard Nixon used to try to silence the press. Im talking about the Current Administration and their absolute broadsiding of media, social media, news, anybody that offends. You know, there is a label that is immediately attached to them, which is called, well, that cant be true, because theyre all fake news. I mean, its a lot more insidious today, by the way, than it was in 1971. If you publish, well be in the Supreme Court next week. Meaning . We could all go to prison. Theres been another massive press expose in the last six months, which is what looks like the endemic Sexual Harassment and exploitation which is, what looks like the endemic Sexual Harassment and exploitation of women in hollywood. I mean, youre a really senior figure in hollywood and youve been around a long time. Do you ever think, you know what, i think i could have done a bit more to stop this . Well, you know, i can only basically react to that question within my own workplace environment. Within my organisation, there werent incidences, except for just a couple of years and years ago, that i would say gave me the experiences to be the authority on that question you ask. What happened in those incidences . There were just a couple of incidences. I dont go into detail on them, but they happened years and years ago, where we had to let somebody go. People are concerned about having a woman in charge of the paper
