Population, more people likely to need care all year round, but particularly in the winter . Yes, no getting around the fact people get ill overwinter, but it does sound like this is worse than usual. Speaking about, as Melanie Wasjust saying, record numbers of people in ambulances turned away from hospital as they do not have resources to help them. In record breaking territory, that does not sound good. One of the interesting elements of the story in the telegraph is they are speaking about trying to encourage hospitals not to talk about this in overly alarming terms, not to speak about, what do they cold, black alerts . The guardian speaking about how the red cross is saying the nhs needs to take action to make sure we are taking better ca re of to make sure we are taking better care of people. Terms like red cross and black alert in relation to the nhs, nota and black alert in relation to the nhs, not a good look. In addition, some of the stories, looking at individual stories, lying underneath this around deaths that have happened in hospital corridors, it makes for very grim reading. Lets look at the guardian, though, because you mentioned the red cross. Humanitarian crisis in the nhs, says the red cross. Doctors told off and told a Patient Misery following death in corridors, and there are of course individual stories which are desperately sad, and concerning. I cannot remember a time when the nhs was described in that way by the red cross, has it . No, ithink there have been conversations before regarding a crisis in the nhs, however the red cross commenting on it as if. We do not expect that, the red cross to be commenting on nhs services here in the uk. We expect them to be doing humanitarian crises, but it feels like this is entirely almost preventable, and so thatis entirely almost preventable, and so that is why, you know, when you think of the red cross, you sick of hurricanes, tornadoes, natural disasters, you do not think of the nhs needing support or comment you think of. Someone quoted here is president of the society for acute medicine who speaks about why it is particularly in that sort of penultimate paragraph, why the nhs is really in such dire straits now . Yes, it certainly seems to be a simple resources question. It is not like we are in the grips of some kind of academic of any kind, this isa kind of academic of any kind, this is a standard winter epidemic of any kind. He is saying we have third world levels of staffing and beds in what is supposed to be a first world country. The two just do not what is supposed to be a first world country. The twojust do not match. No, and it speaks about people who died because they were on trolleys. One person had a heart attack and another had an aneurysm and then could not be saved. Lets move on and look at another story. To do with donald trump this time. It is still on the guardian. The hacker accused of interfering in the us election. This is a picture of a woman who is reckoned to be a very skilled russian hacker. It speaks a little bit about her and when she where she spends her time, working for companies trying to find vulnerabilities in their systems and she thinks this story has been com pletely she thinks this story has been completely overblown. She thinks this story has been completely overblownlj she thinks this story has been completely overblown. I found her comments interesting. She denied having knowingly worked for the russian government, it says here. Laughter that is different to not having ever worked for the russian government. It sounds like she is very good at what she does, very good at picking out vulnerabilities, useful for a Commercial Point of view, but it says she is guilty of helping Vladimir Putin to interfere in the us election, according to the white house. The company has been sanctioned and she is not very happy about it. But clearly this russian hacking story, you know, it is doing the opposite of dying down. Every day this story escalates and appears to get worse. Something hasjust dropped an ap, actually, the Intelligence Agencies saying Vladimir Putin used a Hidden Campaign to influence the us president ial election in favour of donald trump over hillary clinton. Of course donald trump has said todayit of course donald trump has said today it did not effect the outcome of the election and he is now, it seems, accepting from the 17 different agencies that it did actually occur. So that is progress, actually occur. So that is progress, a change . That is progress. Up until this point he has probably not had the briefings or access to the information to be able to see that definitively, yes, russia interfered in the us election. Now it is nice to see he is changing his tune and lets hope for the best. Everyday is a surprise with donald trump so i am keeping my fingers crossed but i am glad he is finally acknowledging it. I think he has turned down the opportunity to have regular briefings that he might have had with some of security experts. He doesnt need them, proudly. He wants to be informed when there is something new to say, and clearly he wants to do things his own way but, you know, what might get interesting from here is, as we were just saying, he has had this briefing today, he has been sat down and told, this is what we know. Maybe the kind of reality of actually being president will start hitting him quite soon and he will start taking people like Security Officials and intelligence officials more seriously. I wonder whether he will be able to carry on, i mean, you might not have time, but whether he will be permitted to be quite so vocal and active on social media, january the 20th. I do not think they will be able to stop him. On twitter . I certainly dont. Twitter isa twitter . I certainly dont. Twitter is a new and for any president. Barrett obama was the first president to have a twitter account, to have. That was closely monitored and overseen, isnt it . I imagine it is not always necessarily by obama who does it, the tweeting. But it is a new thing for any government to have, that direct access to the audience. We are treading in waters we have never tried before so i am interested to see as well what will happen with the twitter account after he is actually president , because i feel that he is not the type of man to have his voice that way. No, it will ta ke have his voice that way. No, it will take somebody rather brave to brave to try to clip his wings but he is also saying he recognises now he needs to put together a team of people who know what they are doing when it comes to cyber espionage. People who know the cyber, as he would say. Yes, some kind of task force looking into how to prevent hacking, not that he seems to think it has done any harm so far but he does seem to be taking this more seriously. Clearly, to the extent that the russians have somehow got into the Democratic Party machinery online, it seems to have been relatively easy to do. It is quite easy to get into party machinery. How easy is it to get into actual Government Machinery . It is clearly time to take this seriously. It is also interesting, you know, why wasnt this addressed sooner of . Why have we got to the point where he is being briefed about it and the election has been and gone . Why did the sooner than this something was going on and do something about it . This suggestion is still the democrats would not let the fbi have access to some of the e mails they thought had been hacked, but according to this report which we are supposed to see more of next week russias calls were to undermine faith in the democratic process and denigrate hillary clinton, even if it did not derail the presidency, it is something the republicans have said, that we all need to be concerned about. |j republicans have said, that we all need to be concerned about. I think if we look at history, though, something is coming home to roost. There has been meddling in several. In our history, meddling in political elections is not something new, and maybe it is the first time we are feeling it here, oi first time we are feeling it here, or the us is feeling it, but however it is almost an about face, because we all have a history, out of us, of meddling in each others elections oi meddling in each others elections or other countrys elections. Or having a preferred candidate. That is all i am going to say. |j having a preferred candidate. That is all i am going to say. I am pleased because i would have had to stop you but you have done it yourself. Under the times. Angry donor threatens to stop funding the tory party. Andrew cook, who has donated £i. 2 tory party. Andrew cook, who has donated £1. 2 million to the party, he is going to stop. Why . When . If . He says, sir andrew cook, he will find it impossible to continue supporting the party if the Prime Minister theresa may endorses leaving the eu single market. This is interesting because itjust demonstrates theresa may cannot win. She either keeps the donors to the party happy, you know, who are largely businessmen, people in the city, business interests, who do not wa nt city, business interests, who do not want to see a hard brexit, or she keeps the eurosceptic wing of the tory party and the vast majority of the British Population happy. The majority who voted . Yes, that is what i mean. Before i get lots of complaints. It was only 37 of the british people in total. But it is not just british people in total. But it is notjust up to theresa may, is it . The other 27 members of the eu and what kind of deal they permit britain to have. Yes, it is about the deal we are permitted to have, however it has been fairly clear, clearly iterated that we are not going to be able to get the free market without exceeding on some of oui market without exceeding on some of our freedom of market without exceeding on some of ourfreedom of Movement Market without exceeding on some of our freedom of Movement Demands and requests, so whatever demand comes out, and sir andrew is correct in this sense he will not have access to the free market unless we allow freedom of movement. We might have to pay to remain part of it. Yes, i mean the notion we can have out yes, i mean the notion we can have our cake yes, i mean the notion we can have ourcake and yes, i mean the notion we can have our cake and eat it here i think is somewhat fanciful. That is basically what sir andrew is saying, he has got a factory, several factories, at least one of them is almost entirely dependent on access to the european market, he is saying. Hes speaking about the uk sleepwalking to disaster if it sacrifices the single market. In favour favour of brexit see, they point to other countries, who managed to trade with the European Union but are not inside the European Union, have never been inside, yet they seem to be able to do business with the block. They have some degree of freedom of movement and some degree of paying to play, so if we are not prepared. Do the . It is somewhat different. Just this notion that, you know, after 40 years it is going to be this divorce and the other side of the equation in the eu says, you know, fine, take everything, have whatever you like. It is a tough deal to strike. It is notjust ala tough deal to strike. It is notjust a la money or support. It is an acrimonious divorce, as we know, and it will take years to negotiate the settling of interests. You mention canada, and youre right. If canada and the us came out of the north American Free trade agreement it would, people would assume it would ta ke would, people would assume it would take hundreds of years just for them to untangle themselves from one another, and so there are some things we can compensate for, some things we can compensate for, some things we can compensate for, some things we cannot compensate for, and sir andrew really highlights the key tension, that we are going to have to address, the interests of business, really of business and particularly in the conservative party because it is a business interest heavy party, and it is freedom of movement, which really the electorate or the people who voted to leave, that is their primary interest, one of their primary interest, one of their primary interests, so it will be interesting to see how theresa may navigates this because quite frankly i think the matter what we feel about her she has been put in an extremely difficult position where they are going to be no winners. On they are going to be no winners. On the Daily Telegraph brexit is to blame apparently forjamie olivers italian nightmare. He is having to close some of his restaurants and he says brexit is to blame because of uncertainty over the future. Yes. A big pause there, melanie . Laughter this is tough because i love interpreters and what jamie oliver is doing here and Around The World for the is doing here and Around The World forthe i is doing here and Around The World for the i love entrepreneurs. However, you will see some of his collea g u es however, you will see some of his colleagues in the industry, how can you blame brexit for Closing Restaurants . You blame brexit for closing restau ra nts . My restau ra nts a re actually on the upper right now, and really before the brexit thought it seemed jamie did have somewhat a history of closures as well, from the conservative mp, there. Yes, the suggestion he needs to look closer to home for the way he runs his. think we will see a lot of that, a lot of blaming on brexit. It is like with clothes shops trying to sell horrible clothes, they always blame the weather, say it is too warm, too wet, to. The weather, say it is too warm, too wet, to but you are not casting aspersions on his quality of food . have not eaten in one of his re sta u ra nt have not eaten in one of his restaurant for a long time but i think it will be easy to blame this uncertainty for a lot of things. Lets look at the hits and misses at a Tech Conference in las vegas, the Consumer Electronics show, speaking about the winners and losers in the internet of things, things like your fridge connected to the internet, so they can tell you when youre running out of milk, or when the temperature is not right and you can switch heating on through your mobile phone and all that sort of thing. What has been popular and what has been . Selfie drone that follow you around, i am quite excited by that idea. Are you . Like a miniature helper that will help you. In the past people may have had a parrot on your shoulder. You dont fa ncy a parrot on your shoulder. You dont fancy it, do you . Milliwatt . Who is speaking to me. Someone is speaking to me. Someone is speaking to me in the gallery. They are telling me the time, oh, i thought they were trying to tell me about a clever tech thing. I do not fa ncy about a clever tech thing. I do not fancy that, i drone hovering over me no, this event in las vegas, these are all the marvellous things we can do within your internet of things, and there just seems to be ple nty of things, and there just seems to be plenty of examples of types of technology that have been developed for no obvious reason, just because you can. A voice activated bin, a fishing drone. I also saw this app very could write on a phone and it could print out a post it note and i thought, have you not got ten . Laughter these seems to be solutions in search of problems. Have you not got a search of problems. Have you not gota pen . Search of problems. Have you not got a pen . No, i would be swatting it away like a flight, i drone. And then these selfies. I must pick and that before someone else does swatting it away like a fly. That is all from us friday night. Do not forget you can follow that online. And we are there as well. Each edition will be posted shortly after we finish and it is an eye player as well. We are now getting back to normal know that the Festive Season is over. Thank you both for coming in. Nice to see you. Coming up next is the weather. Good evening. The weather has been turning cloudier and milder since friday. Most places ended on a cloudy knot but we had some brightness at the sunset in dundee, this captured by one of our weather watchers. We will stick with a fairly cloudy the moving through the course of the week but things are looking largely dry with light winds and High Pressure in charge. Before we get there there are still some rain to the rest of this evening and overnight. Like an patchy mainly across much of england and wales. Northern england, scotland and Northern England, scotland and Northern Ireland do little better, but some mist and fog. Wherever you are that low cloud, drizzle, fall, quite arty start. A bit of a grey saturday morning some clear spells, though, across scotland. There could bea though, across scotland. There could be A Touch Of Frost of the countryside. Melzerfurther be A Touch Of Frost of the countryside. Melzer further south across Northern Ireland, southern scotla nd across Northern Ireland, Southern Scotland and Northern England to. Some mist and murkiness. Thicker cloud across Southern England and wales. Grey starts with outbreaks of drizzly rain at times across parts of the southwest and along the south coast as well. For most places it looking dry if a rather grey and gloomy morning. The cloud will tend to thin and break across here so some sunny to thin and break across here so some sunny spells breaking through whereas further south, the cloud will be more stubborn to clear away. Quite a great picture across Southern England and. Ten, 11 degrees here, further north slightly fresher but sunnier spells. Overnight on saturday in december, High Pressure around, saluting mostly dry, fairly cloudy, some mist and fog and mark around and most places will be frost free first thing on sunday. Milder than it has been the last couple of days. There could be frost first thing in scotland. Through the day on sunday again most places are dry with light winds. The cloud will be sticking around for most of us but brightness to the east of higher ground. To the west that is where we have the mildest of the weather at ten or ii degrees, things called across the east of the uk and much colder further east across europe. The highest temperature is in moscow in moscow by sunday is minus 25 degrees, so problems across eastern parts of europe. Low pressure closer to home on monday, and temperatures between seven and ii to home on monday, and temperatures between seven and 11 degrees. This is bbc news. Im martine croxall.
