Says she feels outrage after years of being ignored over a Sexual Assault allegation against him. He has been lying for so long and it is difficult for me to see him and to hear his voice. And coming in the sport on bbc news not a massive catastrophe the british number one, johanna konta, is staying positive despite a shock defeat at the australian open. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The uk is to increase its contribution towards border controls in france by {44. 5 million, and will also commit to taking in more migrants. The money will be spent on fencing, security cameras and body scanners at calais and other channel ports. The deal will be announced at a summit between theresa may and the french president , Emmanuel Macron, at Sandhurst Military Academy this afternoon. Our Political Correspondent iain watson reports. This area near calais was until recently known as thejungle, and makeshift camp of economic migrants and genuine refugees. It was cleared by authorities in 2016 but it is estimated around 700 migrants are still in the area. Even before the brexit referendum the British Government paid an extra 20 Million Euros to pay with policing costs and today the Prime Minister will agree today the Prime Minister will agree to pay even more but some mps are wary. It is their problem as much as it is ours and we should not keep funding fronts every time they demand more cash. This young modernising european leader signed an agreement in france in 2003, essentially moving British Border controls onto french soil. Before becoming president , this young modernising european politician suggested scrapping the agreement if britain were to leave the eu. He has changed his mind but at a price. The British Government will make £1145 million available to strengthen security at the border with more robust fencing, enhanced cctv and infrared detection technology. A former conservative leader says it is money well spent. Securing our borders has huge benefit to us, sharing the burden with france is already an established principle. The extra a0 i am assured is about improving that too much bigger degree. The summit is notjust about immigration, may theresa may will help send troop carrying helicopters to help france. The elephant in the room will be stomping around pretty loudly, with france said to be taking a potentially hard line on forthcoming trade talks, then the personal relationships between the british Prime Minister and the french president could prove vital. Macron has a close relationship with Angela Merkel and doesnt have that kind of close friendship with mates. Most eu leaders would rather have theresa may than some of the alternatives. It was cordial when they met in france but now they will need to be a closer relationship as trade talks loom. In a moment well speak to our Diplomatic Correspondent paul adams in calais, but first to vicki young, whos at sandhurst. How much is this all about looking to the future, about a post brexit world 7 to the future, about a post brexit world . All the talk so far has been about practicalities, whether that is more money in calais to boost the Border Security, whether it is british help in mali for french troops there, whether it is the loan of the bayeux tapestry but theres more to it than those practicalities. Brexit might not be talked about in advance of all of this but of course that is the backdrop. Its all about britain and its future relationships, how it will have these bilateral relationships with incredibly important countries like france once we are outside of the European Union so we are outside of the European Union so that relationship between theresa may and Emmanuel Macron is important. He has ambitious ideas for what he wants to see in the European Union but the relationship with the uk will be crucial. It is no coincidence we are at sandhurst, today there is a lot of emphasis on the military. But of course it is about trade and the economy, and about trade and the economy, and about britain trying to show france that it about britain trying to show france thatitis about britain trying to show france that it is not on a back foot because of brexit, that we still have a lot to offer when it comes to intelligence and security cooperation, and you can expect to hear a lot about that later on when the leaders hold a press conference here. Paul adams in the leaders hold a press conference here. Pauladams in calais, in practical terms the french are often more money for border controls and also taking in more migrants, specifically unaccompanied children . Yes, on the money front, and this is on top £150 million or so thats already been spent in the last three yea rs, already been spent in the last three years, turning large parts of calais into a fortress. You could argue it isa into a fortress. You could argue it is a relatively modest additional price, bearing in mind what ian said just now which is that at one point Emmanuel Macron talked about scrapping the agreement which would have moved the migrant crisis over the channel onto the british side. It is likely this will continue to be an issue. The people in calais feel they have paid a price high price. 0n the unaccompanied minors, this issue was incredibly sensitive and close to the hearts of the volu nteers and close to the hearts of the volunteers who work here among the migrants. As many as five under 18s have been killed in the last two yea rs have been killed in the last two years trying to cross the channel, and most if not all of those five we re and most if not all of those five were in the laborious process of trying to establish their right to live in the uk. It is a difficult Legal Process which takes time and people, while they are waiting, often become desperate. The volunteer groups will be extremely frustrated if they think the money britain is spending is only about security and not about ensuring the safety of some of the most vulnerable migrants in the world. Paul adams in calais thank you. Severe gales have been causing disruption across much of the uk with gusts of around 80 miles per hour. Nearly 60,000 homes have lost power in east anglia and south east england, and there have been reports of fallen trees on or near roads in lincolnshire, norfolk and gloucestershire. Train lines in the east of england have been blocked by fallen trees. Damage to overhead electric wires is causing problems for Train Services in the midlands. Tom burridge reports. Gales overnight, so plenty of clearing up in large parts of the country this morning. Here in surrey, trees halting trains between portsmouth and london. Trains also going nowhere in norwich. It was a familiar problem. And imagine the end section of your roof blown down while you sleep. Thats what happened here in coventry. Not an explosion, just the force of the wind, and family left with the aftermath. It was scary at first, frightening at first, we just wanted to get everybody out of the house. Now we can see the damage and nobody is heard, it is upsetting it will cost a lot. Seems like this in london, familiar elsewhere. Winds of more than 70 mph. Luckily no reports so more than 70 mph. Luckily no reports so far that anyone was seriously injured but peoples property not so lucky. I heard the window smash, fully thought somebody was trying to break into the house. I walked into the living room and a Christmas Tree had been blown into my window and broke it. Different weather, still making travel difficult in the north of england and scotland. But conditions today, milder and sometimes stunning. 0n the 7a in south lanarkshire, sometimes stunning. 0n the 7a in south la narkshire, a sometimes stunning. 0n the 7a in south lanarkshire, a different story from the chaos earlier in the week. M7a. The from the chaos earlier in the week. M7a. The damage caused by the gales further south is extensive. A wolf like this after offence was blown down at a sanctuary in berkshire. And this gives you the idea of the power of the wind last night in suffolk. A play centre now without much of its roof. Hospital consultants in wales are warning that Patient Safety in accident and emergency units is being compromised to an unacceptable degree. A6 doctors thats most of the emergency Medicine Consultants in wales have signed a letter to the first minister, carwynjones, outlining their concerns. It comes as figures published this morning show the lowest level of a e performance in wales since march 2016. Sian lloyd reports. Recess is full, trolley bays are full. 8 30am, and staff at this hospital in swansea discuss the challenges ahead in a e. Patient waiting time targets are being missed at emergency units across wales, and today more than three quarters of all consultants in emergency medicine here have written to the first minister, warning that the system is at breaking point. There is good evidence that in a crowded Emergency Department that patients have their treatment delayed, and that can make their illness more protracted. And ultimately it can make peoples lives be at risk. So, yes, people may die because of the pressures we are facing. The latest monthly performance figures show that in december 78. 9 of a e patients in wales were dealt with within the four hour target. A drop in performance compared to the 80. A figure achieved last year. The target in wales says that 95 of patients should leave the Emergency Department in under four hours. The Welsh Government says that this december was the busiest on record. It recognises the challenges faced by staff and says its invested an extra £60 million to help people working in emergency units like this one deliver their services. The challenge is, when those spikes of unpredictable pressure have come in, we havent had enough flex within our system to cope with those as quickly as we want to. So of course we have to learn, and i take responsibility. Hospitals have been coming up with new ways of dealing with busy times. And in swansea, its all hands on deck to reduce delays. Are you being looked after . Donna day has swapped her officejob with the health board to help out on the wards. The tasks she can carry out will free up nurses time. They are so rushed off their feet. Ive noticed that itsjust nice to spend time with patients. Sometimesjust sitting there and Holding Hands with the patient is good for them and good for us. There are still ambulances waiting outside the hospital, but the scheme is seeing results. People are being moved through the emergency unit here more quickly. But challenges remain, with a spike in the number of flu cases, the medical team fear that things will get worse before they get better. Sian lloyd, bbc news, swansea.

The Northern Ireland secretary has announced that talks to restore the devolved government at stormont are to resume next week. Karen bradley, who was appointed last week, made the announcement alongside the irish deputy Prime Minister. Power sharing between the democratic unionists and sinn fein collapsed more than a year ago. The governments spending watchdog says taxpayers owe private companies almost £200 billion for deals set up under private finance initiatives. Pfi schemes mean private companies build and maintain schools, hospitals and other projects, in return for an annual payment. The National Audit office has found that annual charges linked to the schemes have reached more than £10 billion. 0ur assistant Political Editor norman smith is in westminster. Rv pfi scheme is a bad dealfor taxpayers . The National Audit office dont quite tell us that but they do tell us we will be facing a big bill asa tell us we will be facing a big bill as a result of pfi because basically its like getting new hospitals and schools built and paying for it through a mortgage. You can have your new hospital now but you will be paying over 25 years or so with interest attached. Bear in mind successive governments have backed the idea but significantly the National Audit office says some schools have cost a0 more as a result of being built through pfi rather than through the Public Sector. 0ne hospital gusts 70 more and this has been seized on by Jeremy Corbyn because he has pledged to end pfi and nationalised existing pfi contracts so this plays to his agenda. All this of course comes in the wake of the collapse of carillion, which has also played to Jeremy Corbyns argument about ensuring Public Services are provided by the Public Sector and not private contractors. And sometimes in politics you kind of need the wind behind you, and at the moment mr corbyn seems to be enjoying a couple of helpful gusts to help his argument about the advantages of the Public Sector over the private sector. Our top story this lunchtime. The uk pledges more than a0 Million Pounds extra to help Border Security at the channel itll be spent on fencing, cctv and new technology at border points. And coming up tackling a hidden problem we report on a pilot scheme offering paid work to former slaves. Coming up in sport. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he expects his influential forward Alexis Sanchez to depart for Manchester United in the next couple of days, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving to north london as part of the deal. Parents in england are subsidising free nursery care because it hasnt been properly funded by the government thats according to a new survey. Many nurseries say theyre struggling to cover costs, and are having to ask parents to help for fees, nappies and lunches. The government says the funding was never intended to cover the cost of meals or additional services, and that its investing £6 billion in childcare by 2020. 0ur education correspondent Elaine Dunkley has the details. How many of the pink beads have we got . At sparkling stars preschool in poole, the numbers dont add up. Its struggling financially to provide children with 30 hours of free care a week and says the government hasnt provided enough funding for the scheme. We are funding big time here in poole. Preschools in poole are paid £3. 77 per hour to deliver funded childcare. 0ur true cost of provision is closer to £5 per hour. The only person that this policy is free to is the government. Its not free to providers. We are subsidising this policy. It is not free to parents or their children because we are having to ask for additional contributions to cover parts of what we offer that the funding does not cover. Before the scheme was introduced, the high cost of childcare meant some parents were worse off going back to work. But with some nurseries struggling to offer 30 hours a week, parents are being asked to pick up additional costs. Having 30 hours gives me the security to work more. But obviously if they cant sustain it, then thats concerning. When they go on to bigger schools, youre not to make schools, youre not asked to make donations and things there. It is costly, for a working family when you look at what the minimum wage is, what they earn, and then you take off that cost to the nursery. The report from the preschool learning alliance suggests only 35 of childcare providers are delivering 30 hours a week completely free. 37 have introduced or increased charges for things such as meals and snacks to make up the shortfall. And 38 of providers are uncertain whether or not they will be offering 30 hour places in a years time. Almost on a daily basis i receive e mails and letters from providers that have been around for ten, 20, 30 years, who are saying, weve had enough, we can no longer make this work. We are closing our doors. When you get one in five providers in this survey that are saying effectively, we are worried that we will not be here next year, then thats a bad place to be. And government knows this is likely to be the case. The government insists the additional hours are working for parents, but nurseries say they are going out of business. Elaine dunkley, bbc news. A terminally ill man who wants to be helped to die has been granted permission to take his case to appeal. 68 year old noel conway, who has motor neurone disease, says the current law breaches human rights. Our medical correspondent fergus walsh is at the high court in central london. Noel conway is a retired lecturer. He is becoming progressively weaker as his motor neuron disease spreads. He needs oxygen to help him breathe. He needs oxygen to help him breathe. He says he fears having a painful and undignified death. So he launched the challenge to the 1961 suicide act which forbids a doctor from prescribing him a lethal dose. He says that breaches his human rights. Last 0ctober, three high courtjudges dismissed that challenge. But two hours ago, some appeal courtjudges said he should be allowed to take that challenge and review that decision with a full hearing before the court of appeal, which will be heard in a few months time. This issue of whether there should be a right to die is a key one for society. Back in
