doctors will leave the nhs to work abroad, in countries including australia and new zealand. our health reporterjim reed has been looking into this. we've been trying to answer that question, whether we've been seeing a large exodus, as is being feared, of nhs doctors going overseas. let's begin by looking at the bigger picture. this graph is showing as the proportion of uk nhs doctors that arejoining and the proportion of uk nhs doctors that are joining and leaving the proportion of uk nhs doctors that arejoining and leaving each year. the numberjoining here in read has actually been rising as we've been recruiting more foreign doctors from overseas into the health service. the number in blue is the number leaving, and actually, it has remained pretty constant over time at about 15%. this is the number of doctors leaving for any reason, so that could be retiring, moving into private practice, it could be going abroad, and there has been some quite aggressive recruiting of nhs doctors by other countries. this advertisement here is from the authorities in south australia. it has been plastered over billboards outside some london hospitals and also posted directly into the social media feed of some nhs doctors, trying to convince them to go and work in south australia. what effects a camping at the seven? if you look at the numbers of uk trained doctors working in these three countries, it is a pretty mixed bag, in the united states it's actually been falling slightly, in new zealand it has been writing but in recent years it has been quite constant and flat stop this year is the number that you need to look at. the number working in australia. we only have data up to 2021 on the up to that point in the previous eight years we were seeing a significant increase of about 65% in those eight years, so some warning signs there. also warning signs when you look at this is telling us whatjunior doctors are deciding to do two years after they start their training. backin after they start their training. back in 2012, ten years ago, and 66% were going straight on to continue that training, to specialise in the nhs, but look at that number has fallen back over time, on the flip side of that, hear and read, the number deciding to take a break, to pause their training for at least a year, has gone up quite significantly. some of this group will be deciding to freelance, others may simply be taking a break from their studies, but this afraid assumption that a decent amount of this group will be deciding to move abroad. 0verall then, no concrete indication of a huge exodus of nhs doctors abroad, yet, but certainly some warning signs looking at the starter. senior conservatives — including a cabinet minister — say their party is likely to campaign to leave the european convention on human rights at the next generalelection, if rwanda flights for asylum seekers continue to be blocked. with the story, live now to westminster and our politcial correspondent, nick eardley. this is not the first time this proposal has been floated, tells why it is back again.— it is back again. quite frankly, because the — it is back again. quite frankly, because the rwanda - it is back again. quite frankly, because the rwanda scheme i it is back again. quite frankly, | because the rwanda scheme is it is back again. quite frankly, - because the rwanda scheme is stuck in the courts and some conservatives, right up to cabinet level, fear it is going to remain stuck. there is a supreme court hearing expected later in the year but many think that it's not going to overturn a previous decision in the british courts, and that means that the rwanda scheme may never get off the ground. there are some senior conservatives who are now thinking about what they need to do next to try and deliver on the proposals to move asylum seekers from the uk into a safe third country. in one of the proposals that has been talked about, with people i've spoken to, is coming back with this idea to leave the european convention on human rights. there are some senior conservatives who think that the court, which enforces the convention, is too political. some are suggesting that it is punishing the uk through brexit. they are saying if we cannot get rwanda flights up and running by the general election probably next year then we should back leaving the european convention on human rights at the next general election. is it going to happen? possibly. there are some that feel very strongly about it, but it is worth pointing out there are some who are very opposed to this receipt would be madness, kneejerk, undermine uk's position on the international stage. number ten and said that they think they can clamp down on small boats without leaving international treaties like the echr, the interestingly the immigration minister robertjenrick was asked about this this morning and he said the government could rule nothing out, and it is prepared to do whatever it takes to deliver stopping small boat crossing. tells more about — stopping small boat crossing. tells more about how _ stopping small boat crossing. tells more about how people within the party feel about the echr.- party feel about the echr. looks, the honest _ party feel about the echr. looks, the honest answer— party feel about the echr. looks, the honest answer is _ party feel about the echr. looks, the honest answer is that - party feel about the echr. looks, the honest answer is that opinion | party feel about the echr. looks, i the honest answer is that opinion is divided, there are some conservatives think there is no problem and it is constraining the uk in attempting to stop people crossing the channel on targets. you might remedy the first rwanda flight due to stave off last summer was locked in the end because of a ruling on the european court on human rights so they blame the e hrc for some of the delays in fomenting that policy. there are others that say that being part of international treaties on human rights is a good thing, something that should be encouraged and that leaving it would be hugely problematic for the uk, not least because it would have an impact on under international agreements the uk as part of and that debate is continuing to play out, opposition parties say this is a headline grabbing, and the conservatives have not got on top of the asylum backlog over the last few years. we the asylum backlog over the last few ears. ~ ., ., ., years. we will have to leave it there, years. we will have to leave it there. but _ years. we will have to leave it there, but thank _ years. we will have to leave it there, but thank you - years. we will have to leave it there, but thank you very - years. we will have to leave it i there, but thank you very much. thousands of people on universal credit in the uk are having money deducted by utility companies to pay their bills, despite a legal case that challenged the policy. anyone on old—style benefits must give consent — but it isn't required from those on universal credit. the department for work and pensions insists the policy "strikes a fair balance". phil mackie reports. helen simpson keeps a close eye on her utilities, after a nightmare four years caused by a faulty meter. it caused her bills to rocket. no—one would listen to her and, before she knew it, things got worse. the utility company started taking over £80 a month out of her benefits without her consent. she was one of about 200,000 people affected. itjust seemed wrong that i didn't have the right to choose how my money was spent. you were obviously saying this to them and to other people. what kind of response were you getting? 0h, they didn't care. and ijust ping ponged backwards and forwards with nobody doing anything. and at that point, how were you feeling about a system that didn't appear to listen to you? how can it be in my best interest to be paying utility arrears that obviously aren't correct, and not be able to pay my rent? she eventually won her case in the high court and got her money back. it's meant that the department for work and pensions has stopped taking money unless people are consulted first. but the ruling only applies to people like helen on old—style legacy benefits. for most people, for instance, if i were in arrears with a utility company, they wanted that money back. first of all, they'd have to talk to me or they'd come to a place like this and get a county court judgment against me. but, for people on benefits, they don't need to do that. i've always said a loaf of bread would be about a fiver by the time my kids are like 15, 16. and the way the world's going at the moment, it's probably going to end up like that. that includes chelsea ellerman, who lives with her three children and two dogs, and got heavily into debt. i'd not, like, given any consent. i've not spoken to anyone. so then when i realised it were actually coming out, and i were like, but no—one's actually sat and discussed this with me or you know, like said, can she even afford to do this? it's not helping. she sought help and found a charity that deals with this every day. noah's ark centre has looked after a 1,500 people in calderdale who had money taken out of their benefits. around 80% of them buy utilities. and the deductions were brutal. i mean, back in pre—0ctober 2019, someone on uc could lose 40% of their money to pay debts and it almost felt like the dwp were becoming the country's biggest debt collection agency. in a statement, the department for work and pensions said... it ground me down and just made me feel that i was a victim, and there was nothing i could do. but it's been fighting back and winning that's made me feel empowered. phil mackie, bbc news. it has been long understood that 10,000 steps per day is the ideal number to stay fit and healthy — but a new study shows fewer than 5,000 may be enough to see a benefit. a study of 226,000 people around the world showed that 4,000 was enough to reduce the risk of dying prematurely of any cause. with more on this we can go to our health reporter laura foster. what has changed? we are so used to hearing 10,000 steps is what you need to do. how did this new number, about? element the first thing we should see is the first thing of 10,000 steps dominic this study has taken a bunch of existing studies, the most reliable and most compatible ones, concluded that after looking at a quarter of a million people and studying them over a long period of time, if you hit 4000 steps you sought to reduce the risk of dying early, if you hit 2300 steps begin to improve how your heart race and how your blood vessel works with a does not mean everyone should just stop hitting 10,000 steps are registered targets lower than anyway because it concludes that actually the more you walk, the better it is for your health and every extra thousand steps reduces the chance of dying early by 15% and researchers say they have not found an upper limit yet, so the idea of an upper limit yet, so the idea of an ideal step target is still very much up for scientific debate. we muck interesting, the whole idea of 10,000 stepsjust came muck interesting, the whole idea of 10,000 steps just came from marketing. if there is no upper limit, is 4000 the minimum you need to do to see some sort of benefit? the 2300 is when you start to notice improvements to your heart and blood vessels, for thousands when you start to notice, reduce your risk of dying early. i'd avoid saying 4000 this disco, 5000 by this and does this disco, 5000 by this and does this go, step length and what people are able to do depends on the current state of health and fitness and the idea is the more steps you can do, the better it will be for your health overall, and insufficient physical exercise is a huge problem or in the world, the world health organization says globally 3.2 million people die every year because they don't get enough exercise. 81% of teenagers worldwide... walking is one of the exercises that is accessible to most people and doesn't cost anything, you can factor it into your daily routine. facebook boasts nearly three billion monthly users across the globe — and —— at it's best it's been cheered for bringing us together —— but also criticised for tearing us apart. but is the social media platform good or bad for your well being? that s the question two researchers from oxford have been asking in the biggest international study of its kind. with surprising results — they found n0 evidence facebook is bad for you. one of the people behind that study is professor of human behaviour and technology at the oxford internet institute. he explained the study�*s methodologies. you know, you hear stories about big positives and big negatives of using facebook and messenger. what we really wanted to do was go out and get the data to find out if that was true or if there was evidence for that, so we approached meta, worked with them for about two years to see if they had the kind of data we needed. use of facebook, adoption of facebook messenger in 72 countries across 12 years. we marry that with data on mental health and well—being, build statistical models and the results did surprise us. we were expecting something bigger, maybe something negative or positive, but we really found pretty convincing evidence, at least on a global scale, that a lot of facebook might not have had an impact on well—being that many of us would have expected. for more on this i'm joined by professor of social psychology at the london school of economics — sonia livingstone. what do you make of this report?

-ii that's a great question, i think we need to get much better thinking about what the outcome is notjust how are you in your day, but how do you feel about yourself? annals of research now on young women, girls and body image. we need to think about those who are discriminated against or targeted with hate and how they feel themselves part of the group that gets a lot of hostility in the kind of public space. we need to think about disinformation and how people kind of fall for or are persuaded by conspiracy theories, and there is lots of things going wrong in our social media environment, and just asking people how you feel about your life in general is really not going to capture, notjust nuance, these are some of the important negative effect as well, as i say, many people saying there is some incredibly positive benefits as well. the uk is set for five years of "lost economic growth", with the poorest hit hardest, a think tank has warned. the national institute for economic and social research said a triple blow of brexit, covid and russia's invasion of ukraine had badly affected the economy. it added that the spending power of workers in many parts of the uk will remain below pre—pandemic levels until the end of 2024. live now to jagjit chadha, director of that think tank. it is not a very pleasant scenario, not very pleasant for us to have to tell people just what dire straits we are in as an economy. 0ne tell people just what dire straits we are in as an economy. one of the things we've been looking at is the pre—covert peak in activity, and the constancy of goods we were producing the first quarter of 2020 and one of the first quarter of 2020 and one of the markets we had an remain from the markets we had an remain from the beginning is when with the economy return to that pre—covert peak? there is a huge fall in activity before lock downs and subsequently the stuttering of the economy caused directly by the increase in energy and food prices is the result of russia's invasion of ukraine and subsequent lead by a sharp increase in interest rates to try and deal with the pressure. it is our sad duty that we don't look likely to return to that level of activity until next year, which would mean five years of lost economic growth.— would mean five years of lost economic growth. quite a grim reality for— economic growth. quite a grim reality for many _ economic growth. quite a grim reality for many people - economic growth. quite a grim reality for many people to - economic growth. quite a grim reality for many people to take economic growth. quite a grim i reality for many people to take in. absolutely. reality for many people to take in. absolutely-— reality for many people to take in. absolutel . ., . ., , , ., absolutely. how much of this is a uk roblem absolutely. how much of this is a uk problem and — absolutely. how much of this is a uk problem and how— absolutely. how much of this is a uk problem and how much _ absolutely. how much of this is a uk problem and how much of— absolutely. how much of this is a uk problem and how much of it - absolutely. how much of this is a uk problem and how much of it as - absolutely. how much of this is a uk problem and how much of it as a - problem and how much of it as a global problem? elements of the extent to which covid and the increase in food and energy prices is a global problem... that certainly — is a global problem... that certainly something - is a global problem... that certainly something we - is a global problem... trust certainly something we have seen here and in other countries. a number of things have exacerbated the problem for the uk. we effected a brexit prior to the shocks, which meant we reduced the intensity of our trade relations with a very well—off neighbour, the european union. we still haven't worked through the through the consequences of that, and in the long run it might yield some benefits if we build very strong trade unions, but it's sad that many parts of the world are not growing as fast as we anticipated for five years ago. the other aspect worse for the uk is on balance we are not energy or food producers, which means we import those goods at international prices, so countries that are more productive in those areas, the united states for example, did not suffer the same income shop that we have,in suffer the same income shop that we have, in the sense that they are actually producing those goods and services, so in some parts of the economy, the increase in prices are beneficial. when we add these things up, at a time when the labour supply. up, at a time when the labour supply, the number of people participating in work has fallen, and many important sectors are short of labour, the economy has as a result been unable to grow any way that we have seen other economies do so after the covid crisis. and one point, if i may, the really important point is that the aggregate number is masking considerable differences, higher income people who are working on high—value services have done very well and i'm very pleased with that, london looks set to have an increase in real wages by the end of next year, something about 7% compared to its pre—covert people many other parts of the economy in which there are lower wages and less competitive sectors, let me pick without any... i'm sorry, we have to end it there. thank you for making that very important point about some of the inequities that exist within these numbers. thank you very much. narrow passageways and ginnels between rows of houses are often neglected and used for fly—tipping — but a new project is encouraging green—fingered residents to transform them into an oasis of shrubs and flowers. the mini—gardens have been popping up across the country and are particularly popular in manchester, where the council offers financial incentives. dave guest reports. patrick likes to spend his every spare minute tending to his plants and flowers. it's relaxing, it's therapeutic, and it's great seeing what you've planted from seeds growing. but patrick's plot isn't his back garden or even an allotment. his labour of green—fingered love is a ginnel sandwiched between the victorian terraces of a manchester suburb. he set about smartening up this once unloved communal space 16 years ago. i was sick of seeing all the flytipping and all the alleyway looking with broken glass and everything like that. so i thought, i want to do something different. and people look after it? yes, yes. there's no mess or anything. all the rubbish is always taken to the bins and everyone has really appreciated what i've done. while he was on a holiday, i watered the alleyway. my goodness, that's a big job in itself. yeah, it was, especially injune. patrick's one of a growing number of ginnel gardeners in manchester. of course, depending where you live, the word ginnel might be unfamiliar. well, according to the oxford dictionary, a ginnel is a northern english noun to describe a narrow passageway between buildings. elsewhere, it might be known as a snicket or a wynd. or if you're in sussex, apparently it could be called a twitten. but whatever you call these places, the fact is they can sometimes be rather grim. that's why manchester city council is encouraging communities to give grotty ginnels a makeover. it helps with your wellbeing. it helps with bringing people together and cohesion. but what can you do as a local authority to help them achieve this? so we have a neighbourhood investment fund for each ward where residents and community groups can apply forfunding to make their communities better. mark edwards has had a grant from the council to help spruce up the ginnel behind his home in moss side. 0ver lockdown i noticed that around the bins area there was a lot of flytipping, so i started putting plants out a little bit and itjust kind of started to spread all the way down the alley. and it now spreads down the alley that way as well? that's right, yeah, yeah. and some of these planters are made from some of the junk that you found down the alley. yeah, it's a nice way to repurpose things, you know, kind of, i now look at anything that can hold dirt as something that you can plant something in. so, patrick, you've been doing this for 16 years now. how much longer are you going to carry on? well, as long as i can carry on, i'll carry on. and his neighbours hope that will be for some considerable time yet. zoo keepers in blackpool are on the look out for one of their resident pelicans after it was scared by a flock of seagulls. the 14—week old bird took flight after being spooked by the squawking birds. staff went to extreme lengths earlier this year to deter seagulls from the area by asking people to dress up in in bird costumes to scare them away. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood hello again. there's a bit of a change in the weather today and tomorrow as drier and warmer conditions come our way. it's also going to turn a bit more humid but this doesn't mean wall to wall blue skies. there will be areas of cloud and for some of us foggy starts to the day. we had that combination already this morning. high pressure building in, this weatherfront across northern ireland drifting eastwards and in doing so, as it bumps into high pressure, it's weakening. today in essence we are looking at a mostly dry day with sunny spells and variable amounts of cloud. still quite murky around the coasts of wales and south—west england with low cloud, some coastal mist and fog and also some drizzle. you might get the odd spot of drizzle across the lake district and western scotland, the pennines as well, but temperatures higher than yesterday. tonight you will find we have areas of cloud that will break. some mist and fog patches forming. the winds that have been prevalent in the last few days across north—east scotland easing and it will be warmer than last night and a more humid one. pulling in the wind from a southerly direction across our shores so thursday looks like it will be the peak this week of the higher temperatures. thursday itself, again like today, will have areas of cloud, a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, but the clouds building in northern ireland through the afternoon and we will start to see showers coming into the south—west. top temperatures tomorrow of 26 or 27 in the south, 21 in the outer hebrides. here is the change, in the south—west we see rain coming in initially then otherwestern areas and moving eastwards through the course of the day. some of the rain will be heavy especially across northern england and scotland. it will be slower to clear east anglia and the south—east through the day. behind it a return to sunny spells and some showers and breezy. temperatures down on thursday so it will feel fresher, especially in northern and western areas. as we head into the weekend, low pressure takes over with various weather fronts crossing us. you can see at times it will bring some rain particularly in areas close to the centre of the low pressure in the north—west. not only does it turn more unsettled, especially in northern areas, but the temperatures are also falling. live from london. this is bbc news. concerns raised about the safety of police officers in northern ireland after a data breach revealed every staff member's name, role and work location. the latest effort to protect the amazon. eight countries form an alliance to limit amazon deforestation but fall short of some demands from campaigners and indigenous groups. the rapper tory lanez has been sentenced to ten years in prison for shooting and wounding the us hip—hop star megan thee stallion. hello, thanks forjoining us. here in the uk, a major data breach in northern ireland. the names and work locations of thousands of police officers were published online by mistake. though no private addresses were released, the data is particularly sensitive because of northern ireland's troubled past and security threats facing police officers. the force's assistant chief constable has
