i know you are part of an organisationjust treatment, what are you calling for? what we believe is two things are necessary, extra funding, and i know people say that the money goes into the nhs and disappears, it doesn't, it is used for the good of patients. and we are nowhere near in the uk the european average. many billions more to be invested over the coming years, tens of billions, to reach the european average of funding for the european average of funding for the health service. and of course we need the health service. and of course w9: need reform of the health service. and of course w9 need reform of the the health service. and of course "w9 need reform of the social care system and structure, and we need reform of the nhs too, but i'm afraid in our view atjust treatment centres like, we have a government which is are you logically opposed to publicly owned health service, and we certainly feel they are running it down and we have a situation where it gets worse and worse to such a point where the nhs sadly won't be viable and we will have an american insurance system. i think it is briefly interesting to note that in the survey, your point was the government, but it seems public opinion is split, some people thinking that spending should be increased on the nhs, other than thinking it should be reduced. we live in a thinking it should be reduced. 9 live in a democracy and people will always have different views, but certainly are a strong view atjust treatment, and i should point out thatjust treatment is patient— led by those of us whose families have sadly been let down by the nhs who really believe in it as a public service. the private sector has what it has, but it is not the nhs, and we believe that really strongly. we are prepared to argue the case with those who disagree.— are prepared to argue the case with those who disagree. thank you very much, matthew. _ those who disagree. thank you very much, matthew. matthew— those who disagree. thank you very much, matthew. matthew from - those who disagree. thank you very much, matthew. matthew from justi much, matthew. matthew from just treatment. now let's turn to the most read story on the bbc website today, and many of us seem to be confused by warnings that travel plans to europe this summer may be ruined by passport. uk travel is able to carry up to nine months from an old passport over to a new one, but post—brexit, eu countries will not accept passports issued more than ten years ago. we can speak to lisa francesca, travel expert from the big travel podcast. good to have you on the programme. why are we talking about this issue today?

it has, it has been i happening for a couple of years, long time? it has, it has been - happening for a couple of years, i have been talking about it on tv and radio, people ignore me or the news because they weren't quite aware of it. then during covid, people weren't travelling during the couple of years post—covid, people were travelling less and that is the time when these eu rules came into place and started to affect us, because of course previously we were in the eu. so it seems a lot of people are getting caught out by this now, it is estimated that 32 million passport holders could be subject to this issue. at the moment, we are estimating that around 200 people a day are getting turned back from leaving the country in tin an eu country because our passports might be valid here but they are not valid to enter the eu. i be valid here but they are not valid to enter the eu.— to enter the eu. i imagine if today have 'ust to enter the eu. i imagine if today have just been _ to enter the eu. i imagine if today have just been going _ to enter the eu. i imagine if today have just been going back - to enter the eu. i imagine if today have just been going back to - to enter the eu. i imagine if today i have just been going back to looking at their passports, trying to work out when it might expire, i have an interesting example for you from a member of our team. she has a password that was issued in may 2018 but expires on the 1st of october 2028, is a dish you need to renew her passport? you 2028, is a dish you need to renew her passport?_ her passport? you be looking at that, because _ her passport? you be looking at that, because we _ her passport? you be looking at that, because we all _ her passport?
