One was in chester and another around five minute drive away from where the crash actually happened. So far, we know 39 patients have been discharged and those are 39 children. This from two schools, west kirby and cordy grange. The bus was on its way to school in the morning for normal lessons and had been picking children up. They were taken to hospital. Was complicated about this is in operation is that the vehicle, the coaches on that side and there is broken glass around it and its very obvious it was a dangerous situation. Firstly, the crews had to get the children inside out and to safety and had to make sure Nothing Happened at the scene because there was the danger of spilled fuel because of the vehicle being on that side. There was all taken care of but the motorway itself stays shut because of investigations and trying to remove it and clear up the scene and get that road back up and running again.

It says they are rising at an unprecedented rate. The Institute For Fiscal Studies forecasts that taxes will amount to about 37 of National Income by next year� s General Election a level not seen since such records began in 19118. Here� s what the ifs had to say. People are living longer. That� s something to celebrate. People are living longer with multiple chronic conditions, which makes them more expensive to treat. They� re also claiming State Pensions and needing social care for longer. All of that comes with a price tag and those pressures aren� t going anywhere. So whoever wins the next election in the face of those pressures is going to be facing lots of demands on state services. And it� s very difficult to see how you can do anything other than maintain or perhaps even increase taxes in the face of that. 0ur head of statistics robert cuffe explained the details of the hidden tax rises that form a major part of this rise and how the uk� s tax levels will compare to other countries�. This parliament is on course to raise taxes by more than any other since the second world war, according to new analysis from the Institute For Fiscal Studies. With taxes forecast to rise from 33 of everything we earned before the last election to 37 before the next one. Now, some of that is unwinding the unusually low tax rises we saw after 2010, and some is response to covid and the war in ukraine. A large chunk of the rise, more than a quarter and one that hits your paycheque directly is the hidden effect of freezing the tax bands. Now, the tax bands are the point at which you start to pay, around £12,500 in england, or pay higher rate tax, just over £50,000. Say you get a pay rise thatjust about keeps up with price increases. Even though your salary� s gone up, you� re no better off than you were last year because you can just about still afford to buy the same lifestyle. But say you started here. Your salary rise brings you up and drags you into a new tax band. Suddenly you� re paying more of your wages in tax, and now you� re worse off despite a decent pay rise. Because after tax, you can� t afford the same standard of living that you did last year. Governments used to shift these tax bands up so that you wouldn� t fall into the net, but they stopped doing that in 2021, and that� s going to affect more than 5 Million People by 2028, according to the uk� s government finances watchdog. Freezing tax bands will drag an extra three Million People into paying any tax and shift another two Million People into paying the higher rate. It is hidden, but more people are paying more tax now. Add that to Corporation Tax rises and other elements. We are heading for Record Levels, but it� s probably not going to shift the uk� s position in the International League tables. If you look at the latest data we have for 2021, you can see that our taxes may be high by Historical Standards for the uk, but we� re in the middle of the pack when you compare us to other major advanced economies. The forecast rise. Up to here, about 37 , doesn� t really change the picture very much, even if the other countries don� t grow their tax base that much in response to the covid fallout or the war in ukraine. Now, one word of caution on League Tables like this. These different tax takes by very Different Levels of public services. Take america. Most people don� t pay for health care through taxation in the us and taxes are much lower there. But they are still paying for the health care. The leaders of nine mediterranean, and southern European Countries are in malta for talks expected to focus on migration. The gathering comes as the Un Refugee Organisation says this year, more than 2,500 people have died, or disappeared in the med, attempting to cross the sea substantially more than at the same time last year. The number of those who made it to europe has also risen markedly. 11,000 unaccompanied Child Migrants have made dangerous Sea Crossings to europe this year that� s a 60 rise. The Un Childrens Agency says the mediterranean has become a � cemetery for children�. I� ve been speaking to Sasha 0ckenden from sos humanity, which is a Search And Rescue organisation that has worked to help migrants found at sea in the mediterranean. He explained what it is like for migrants who make these perilous crossings. I� ve been out there myself on the rescue ship, the humanity 1. We carry out Search And Rescue and what i saw my own eyes i can only describe as a humanitarian crisis. As you say, more people are attempting to cross the mediterranean, many more people are drowning and the reasons for that is that there is a total absence of coordination of Search And Rescue the mediterranean. You have a small number of ngos such as ourselves carrying out rescues but there is still no coordination on a state level between these Nine Countries who are meeting today in malta and for that reason, there are many boats we don� t know about, many shipwrecked and far too many people have lost their lives already this year. I read in those statistics the number of children has risen by 60 and has come from unicef. Does it feel like that . Can you see that in terms of real time experience . Absolutely. A large proportion, Something Like a quarter or more of the people we rescued have been minors and most of those unaccompanied. I spoke to a young man who travelled around 5,000km before he arrived in tunisia. He was imprisoned and beaten and blackmailed and made this dangerousjourney on his own in order to escape what he was experiencing in tunisia. That� s just one of thousands of stories of children, also men and women, making this dangerous crossing. All of them are vulnerable and have human rights and all deserve protection from the european community. As these countries meet to discuss solutions and policy, how imperative is it that somewhere within all of this they actually make progress . It is so important we see progress. We� ve been calling for the past seven years, we� ve been calling for a european financed Search And Rescue programme which still hasn� t happened. All the discussions taking place on a national and diplomatic level, there are a lot of complex issues at play but for us first and foremost, we have to see progress with the fact that so many ships are crossing. You mentioned more than 2,500 people lost their lives already this year. We rescued people who� d been drifting at sea for up to five days, some of them in the middle of storms and many had no food or water. I asked myself how can it be that in this day and age we as Internation
