Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. Boris johnson arrived at downing street this morning determined, it seemed, to demand more money for the nhs in england. But instead, its understood that the foreign secretary was rebuked by the Prime Minister for his highly publicised push to get an extra 100 Million Pounds a week. Theresa may told the cabinet that such conversations about the future of the nhs should remain private. 0ur political editor, Laura Kuenssberg reports from westminster. Thats not going to free up a bed. Long waits, long days, another glimpse of the pressure at the university of north tees hospital. We need more beds in the hospital, more beds for them to go to. Number ten us hospitals needs and the public looks to them frances. Do you want to be the chancellor, foreign secretary . He called for more cash at cabinet, making public before what he planned to raise in private. The Prime Minister and others not impressed. Inside, Boris Johnson was told off for letting it be known that hed be making such a call. No word after from be known that hed be making such a call. No word afterfrom him. 0ther ministers didnt manage to hide their annoyance at what hed done. You know as well as i do, you cant go discussing cabinet. The foreign secretary has been discussing cabinet. Youre clearly frustrated nothing has been done. We put extra money in for winter pressures and have a really good story to tell. Health secretary carried into a car but is not surprisingly sympathetic to the idea of more taxpayers money. This has stirred up a lot of fuss but dont expect the foreign secretarys pronouncement to make a difference soon. Its tricky for number ten because he is allowed for it who doesnt always tell the line and not just because it who doesnt always tell the line and notjust because there are genuine concerns about how the Health Service is coping but because there is an anxiety among tory mps that number ten is short of ideas and ambition. Boris is right to speak out. Its not his brief and people might be upset about that but if people want is big out like boris, they should have done. Why the foreign secretary is making this point is everybodys gas. He has set out his stall on brexit and now the nhs and we will see him putting out his stall on a lot of issues. He has exited himself from collective cabinet responsibility. The man in charge of the cheque book hardly seems sympathetic. Estherjohnson is the foreign secretary. I gave the Health Secretary and extra £6 billion at the recent budget and we will look at departmental allegations again at as many would be one that takes place. Sources suggest the Health Secretary is not putting with mrjohnson but perhaps every little helps. I dont think any Health Secretary is ever going to not support potential extra resources for his or her department. There was agreement in cabinet that money that may come back to the uk after brexit should be spent on private keys like the Health Service but that is set against labours demand for an extra 5 billion now. Like patients like these who we met backin like patients like these who we met back in stockton are struggling and waiting on a trolley, the nhs often helps them to a rapid recovery. feel a lot better than i did. But for politicians who oversee the service there is no simple answer. There are more doctors and nurses employed in the national Health Service in england than ever before. And this Year Spending on englands nhs will go up by more than two billion pounds. But at the same time thereve been an unprecedented demands on the nhs. So how much more money does it need . Our Health Editor hugh pym has been taking a closer look at the numbers. There are growing demands for radical thinking about nhs and social care funding. Trying to work out what is needed in future decades and how much extra money taxpayers will have to find. Senior figures at westminster are saying only a break from Party Politics will row the right treatment of the nhss problems. We need to take the long view, rather than having short term emergency injections of cash, lets look at the scale of demand where it is coming from and how we meet it, not just for the next year or two but for the next ten years and beyond. What is the current state of the nhs . It has added more staff, just over 10,000 more doctors in england since 2010 but they have had to cope with a rapid rise in patient numbers. A 40 increase in the number of operations carried out in england over the last decade. 0ver time, attendances at a e went up by almost 30 . Spending across the uk has gone up. This graph shows the rise since 1950. It is now more than £140 billion per year. Well the uk spends 9. 7 of its National Income on health, that compere s poorly with other it eu nations. France an 1196 with other it eu nations. France an 11 and germany on 11. 3. Now ministers say more money is needed. The system and the waiter is designed is not yet fit for the challenges faced by a growing number of elderly people with a whole range of elderly people with a whole range of conditions. We need funding change and we need transformation of the way services are organised. Thats for the future but now for nhs patients and staff is stress and pressure. They feel that whatever debate takes place, solutions are needed fast. Its emerged that police are investigating a new allegation of Sexual Assault made against the convicted rapist, john worboys, who committed offences while driving a london black cab. He was jailed indefinitely in 2009 but is due to be released at the end of this month. Our Home Affairs Correspondent danny shaw is with me. This has just this hasjust come this has just come to light. What can you tell us . Potentially a very significant development. A woman came forward this month alleging that she had been sexually assaulted byjohn worboys in 1997. Its believed that she had not previously forward. The lease are taking the allegation it extremely seriously. John worboys has not been arrested 01 john worboys has not been arrested or interviewed yet but the significance is that as efforts go on to try and overturn the release decision, if this investigation proceeded quickly and lead to criminal charges, its highly likely thatjohn worboys would have to remain in custody pending any future trial and that is why this is a very key development. A court has heard how an unemployed man from cardiff accused of carrying out the Finsbury Park terror attack last year told people in a pub just days before that he was a soldier and he was going to kill all muslims. 48 year old darren 0sborne is on trial for murder and attempted murder after the attack near two north london mosques. He denies the charges. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford reports. The seconds just before a large white van, travelling at speed, smashed into a crowd of muslim men marking ramadan lastjune. It was the fourth attack last year and the first to target muslims. The prosecution said that in the previous fortnight, the man on trial for the attack, Darren Osborne, had searched dozens of times on the internet for ultra nationalist groups and stories about terror attacks, like the manchester bombing. The jury heard that in the 15 days before the attack, Darren Osborne received two direct communications from far right leaders. A direct message on twitter from the deputy leader of britain first, Jayda Fransen and a note from tommy robinson, one of the founders of the English Defence league, in which he talked about a nation within a nation forming beneath the surface in the uk. A nation based upon violence and on islam. On the morning of the day before the attack, osborne had hired a large box van from a local rental company. And that evening, he sat down in his local pub in cardiff with a pen and paper. The prosecution say thats when he wrote a note, later found in the van, which talks about feral, inbred, raping muslim men, hunting in packs. Callum spence, a serving soldier, was in the pub. He told the jury that Darren Osborne said to him, all ourfamilies are going to be muslim. And then, im going to kill all muslims, im going to take things into my own hands. Less than 28 hours later, the van Darren Osborne hired, killed makram ali and seriously injured several others. He denies murder and attempted murder. Daniel sandford, bbc news, at Woolwich Crown court. The bbc says the broadcaster, aled jones, is to resume work presenting songs of praise.

In a statement, aled jones apologised for the hurt he caused and gave his assurance his behaviour wont be repeated. Thousands of management posts are likely to be cut in a major reorganisation of sainsburys. The Supermarket Chain says there will be fewer, but mostly better paid, management roles in each of its 1,400 stores. The ministry of defence has regained control of a defence review that was expected to have ended in major cuts for the armed forces. Its being seen as a significant move and a victory for the defence secretary, gavin williamson. Jonathan beale is outside the ministry of defence. What difference could this make . As you say, it is a significant victory for gavin williamson, he has wrestled back control of a review that was being overseen by the National Security council. That review was looking at brutal cuts to the armed forces, such as cutting the armed forces, such as cutting the number of personnel by 14000 and the number of personnel by 14000 and the number of warships by seven, dozens the number of warships by seven, d oze ns of the number of warships by seven, dozens of aircraft also being axed. Now he has control of this review, he is amongst friends here at the mod and has more time to argue his case to the treasury for more money. It doesnt mean there will be a reprieve and the armed forces wont be cut but one insider said it gives asa be cut but one insider said it gives as a fighting chance. The time is 6 15. Our top story this evening Boris Johnson is rebuked by the Prime Minister over his much publicised push for more money for englands nhs. And still to come.

The weddell sea, named after a 19th century british sailor, are some of the most remote waters in antarctica. For much of the year, the vast area is covered in ice. But beneath it, scientists have discovered unique ecosystems, so rare that they are calling for these waters to be given special protection. Our environment correspondent Claire Marshall has travelled on board a greenpeace ship to the weddell sea off the antarctic peninsula. And she was able to dive down beneath the surface in a submarine, to see for herself what the scientists have found. Heres her exclusive report. Antarctica, the most remote continent in the world, encased in glaciers thousands of feet thick. Its still largely unexplored and we know even less about the icy seas that ring it. Now, machines are making it possible for us to catch a glimpse. A mini submarine is taking marine biologist, dr susan lockha rt, down into the antarctic deep. Above is a land of frigid ice, below is a thriving mass of life. Thats really pretty. No light penetrates this deep. Plants cant grow, these are all animals. Then it was my turn to go down with pilot, john. We dropped much deeper. More than 1000 feet down, we find a wall of life. Sponges and corals, sea stars, feather stars, all thriving in complete darkness. A robot arm captures samples. Some of these species have never been filmed before. They are threatened by an increase in fishing in the region. Too soon, we have to leave. There is a Storm Brewing on the surface so the ship have asked us to come up. 22, do you have a visual, over . We surface very close to some icebergs. We might have to nudge some ice out the way as well. That will be a massive chunk of ice. At last, the diver gets a hook on our sub. But then the crane breaks and we are stranded for an hour. It feels good to finally be down. Thats nice. Yeah, yeah. We gathered evidence of a unique ecosystem that deserves protection. Its really exciting, really dense sea bed full of life and huge diversity. And also, organisms living together, creating a 3d structure. So more organisms can move and they can be very vulnerable to disturbance and they need special protection. No one could deny this region needs protecting, but what is the best way to do it . Is a line on a map going to make much difference, and who is going to Police Anything out here . The proposal to protect all these creatures and their world will be heard by the antarctic nations in october. Claire marshall, bbc news, the antarctic peninsula. A move by Rupert Murdochs media giant 21st century fox to take over sky has had a major setback. The competition and markets authority has provisionally blocked the £11 billion deal because of fears it would give murdoch too much control over the media in the uk. But as our media editor, amol rajan, reports, its not over yet. Certainly not over. In fact it started a long time ago. This is the second time Rupert Murdoch has tried to ta ke second time Rupert Murdoch has tried to take full control or scanner. The first time was scuppered by the phone hacking scandal. This bid has been stuck in regulation for a year. The competition on markets authority have given it the green light over issues of broadcasting standards but on the issue of media plurality, too much power being in too few hands, they said they need more time. So they said they need more time. So they have opened a consultation. They have suggested some remedies to deal with that. But this whole bid could be superseded by a separate story, that Rupert Murdoch told us in december he was selling up most of his company to disney. So this is all slightly academic or bureaucratic. If disney take control of fox, a lot of the concerns about media plurality fall away. So i think we will be talking about the story for a while yet.
