a look at this morning's front The Observer quotes a former Tory

health Minister calling for a new tax to fund the NHS and social care.

Good morning and welcome to BBC News.

First, our main story - the last BHS stores will close

for the final time today, after 88 years on the high street.

The closure of the remaining 22 shops comes after the retailer

was placed into administration in March but failed

The previous owners, Dominic Chappell and Sir Philip

Green, have been heavily criticised by a Parliamentary inquiry

for mismanaging the chain and failing to protect

Our business correspondent Joe Lynam has the report.

From its Brixton origins in 1928, BHS became a fixture

on Britain's high streets, but that ends today.

The last shops will end up like this.

It is a sad end for the retailer, its staff and some customers.

The little chef men, I collect all of them.

It's mainly the homewares for Christmas, the little

I think everybody is sorry to see it go.

It is good quality stuff and has always been reasonably priced.

British Home Stores have had many owners,

but its two most recent, Dominic Chappell and Sir Philip

Green, were singled out for blame by a key group of MPs.

Sir Philip Green, who owned BHS between 2000 and 2015,

was accused of paying himself huge dividends while neglecting

the pension scheme and then selling it on for ?1.

His appearance before MPs was tetchy at times.

The average day in our head office is 11 or 12 years...

Sir, do you mind not looking at me like that all the time?

You staring at me, it is just uncomfortable, that's all...

He sold BHS to twice bankrupt Dominic Chappell,

who had no experience in retailing at all.

I have made a profit out of this, but I worked

in the business continuously during the last 13 months.

I also racked up considerable fees on the way through.

That inexperience cost the company and its staff dearly.

They still do not know if they will get their full pension

entitlement and are waiting to see how much Sir Philip Green will pay

to clear the ?600 million pensions black hole.

I would like to say, you can only be on one yacht at once, so sell a

couple of yachts and use the money to plug the pensions black hole. Sir

Philip Green has a huge amount of money and I actually believe to plug

the scheme by ?700 million wouldn't actually heard him that much and it

certainly wouldn't cost him as much as those who have lost their jobs.

By close of business today, all 64 BHS stores will have closed down,

It is a sad legacy which has cost 11,000 jobs and badly damaged

the reputation of one of the high-street's

Our business correspondence Joe Lynam is at one of the final 22

stores get too close, in St Albans. Where are we with the possibility of

a serious fraud investigation? Well, the Serious Fraud Office of course

don't say a word, they are very private about their investigations

and they will only release information once they have formally

press charges against someone. We don't know much on that side of

things. We know that there are other investigations including by the same

group of MPs who were very critical of Sir Philip Green. We know that

Sir Philip Green is in protracted talks with the pensions regulator to

find a solution to the pensions black hole. I understand from Mike

sources close to Sir Philip Green that that will take months rather

than weeks, but that that progress has been made. For the people who

used to work for BHS and will be working there last day today at the

Golden is, they will be worrying about how much retirement income

they will actually get. As things stand right now, without a deal with

the pension regulator, they will lose about 10% of their expected

retirement income, because BHS put into the pension protection fund,

the lifeboat scheme to protect workers in the inventor of the

company collapsing. If a deal can be struck they will get 1% of what they

expected to get, but that could take months rather than weeks. I was just

going to ask when we will know what the outcome of discussions are. --

they will get 100%. Is Sir Philip Green just refusing to plug the

hole? No, it would not be fair to say that. He is in protracted talks

and they have been going on for months and they will continue for

months. Tours is close to Sir Philip Green say that substantial progress

has been made and a sum will be agreed. The misconception about the

pensions black hole being ?600 million, that would be the sum that

an insurance company would have to pay to take it on from scratch, take

on all the liabilities and build in a certain amount of profit from

scratch. That is not the case if you are restructuring and existing

pension scheme, which Sir Philip is currently doing with the pensions

regulator. Though the agreed sum will be far less than ?600 million,

but we don't know what the final sum will be. But some sort of agreement

probably will be reached. Joe Lynam, thank you very much.

The M20 in Kent is expected to remain closed until at least

lunchtime today, after a footbridge collapsed on the motorway.

Police say the bridge was hit by a digger being carried

The incident caused severe delays on the main route

to the Channel Tunnel and Dover, as Andy Moore reports.

Work has been going on through the night to reopen the motorway,

but this is no ordinary accident to clear.

Two lorries have to be removed, but on top of them are tons

And then there is the question of what to do with the half

of the bridge left hanging over the other carriageway.

Police said the chain of events started on the hard shoulder

when a digger on the back of a lorry collided with the bridge.

The structure started coming down on the cab of another lorry

At the same time, a motorcyclist slid under the falling

bridge and was treated in hospital for broken ribs.

Police say it was amazing that nobody was seriously injured.

We heard the bang, yeah, and we were literally four

Obviously we're not expecting that sort of thing to happen!

The incident happened on the M20, the main route linking London

It was a pedestrian footbridge that came down on the London-bound side

of the carriageway, between junctions four and three.

But the motorway was shut immediately in both directions,

leading to big delays for miles around.

Motorists heading out of London today are being advised to use

the alternative A2/M2 route towards Dover.

Meanwhile, police are appealing for witnesses as they continue

to investigate the full circumstances surrounding

Highway authorities say they are on track

to clear the motorway within the next few hours.

We've got a lot of work to do yet - we've got cranes in place, we've

We've got a lot more debris to clear yet,

and we have to finish moving the bridge.

Once we've moved the bridge, then we got to have a look

at the road structure underneath and see how the carriageway is affected,

but subject to us not having any major problems, we are reasonably

confident we should be able to open it by midday or shortly afterwards.

And Andy Moore is live at the scene for us now.

How is the clear up going, Andy? It's going pretty well. The crews

have been working pretty hard all night long. Then me show you what is

going on at the moment. You can see on the hard shoulder, the lorry with

the back, it is believed that if the digger that caused the problems, the

arm hit the bridge for some reason and caused it to collapse. Crews

working on attaching the cables, we have got to huge cranes here, one

with a lifting capacity of 350 tonnes and another with a capacity

of 250 tonnes, and in the last half hour or so they have lifted half of

the bridge and taken it off on a low loader. In effect, the bridge is

going out as it came in, in sections. On the other side of the

carriageway, that is heading down towards Dover, you can see the half

of the bridge that is still standing, the road to nowhere,

effectively, at the moment. We are told that is structurally sound, or

at least engineers believe it is. When the fallen part of the bridge

is removed, that part will stay and traffic will pass underneath it. Of

course it will need to be checked thoroughly and our motion sensors on

it, but the plan is to leave that up for the time being until it is

presumably repaired or demolished. But there are problems for this area

and the A2/M2 route is being suggested as an alternative down to

Folkestone. People are being urged to check for information and plan

their journeys carefully. I understand police are at appealing

for further information. Has there been any further update? Police

finished their investigation on the site here but they are ill appealing

for information as to precisely what happened. Perhaps we can go back to

the low loader here, as you saw in the report there were initially to

lorries under the bridge. The big white lorry has been removed

overnight and there is just bits remaining one over here. It is a

mystery as to how that they get impacted -- how that digger impacted

the bridge. There doesn't seem to be much damage to the arm of it, so it

is a bit of a mystery. That is why police are appealing for witnesses.

No one has been arrested or charged yet. Thank you.

Relatives of the late Labour peer Lord Janner are demanding

the inquiry into child abuse postpones its plan

They argue civil cases by several alleged victims should be

heard in court first, and that the inquiry would not offer

the family the chance to fully cross-examine

Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds has the details.

Lord Janner died months after facing child abuse allegations in court.

Currently, more than 30 people - now adults - have accused.

Currently, more than 30 people - now adults - have accused him.

They say he committed sexual offences while a veteran Labour MP

in Leicester, during visits to children's homes and schools.

When police investigated in 1991, Lord Janner refused to comment,

but he denied the claims in the Commons and

The independent inquiry into child sexual abuse is now investigating

whether institutions turned a blind eye to the allegations.

But Lord Janner's son, a senior barrister, wants to fight

the accusers in the civil courts, not the inquiry, where he won't be

He says the inquiry is unfairly picking on his father.

When he is dead, when he cannot answer back, when he has never been

convicted of any offence and is entirely innocent.

How serious are you about challenging this in the civil

courts, if it does go to the civil courts,

Our family has decided this is what we want to use such

inheritance as there is upon, to clear his name.

He says all of the allegations against Lord Janner are made up

But their lawyers say a judge could decide too much time has

passed for the courts to rule if the claims are true,

making the scrutiny of public inquiry vital.

The head of a French energy company hoping to build a nuclear power

plant in south-west England has publicly appealed to the British

In late July, EDF's board voted to approve the ?18 billion

But hours before the contract was to be signed, the Prime Minister,

Theresa May, halted it and ordered a security review.

Writing in the Sunday Telegraph today, EDF chief executive Vincent

de Rivaz has accused critics of ignoring the facts

and overlooking the positive impact of the investment for Britain.

With me now is Vicky Young. What exactly has the EDF boss been

saying? He's obviously making the case for this project to go ahead as

you would expect. He wanted to go ahead. It was incredibly dramatic

move as Theresa May as Prime Minister, one of the first decisions

she made. The contracts were ready to go. She decided she needed more

time to look at the detail so she has promised a decision in the

autumn so in the coming few weeks, but he's making his case for why he

thinks it should go ahead. She's never explained publicly why she

wanted to put it on hold apart from to look more at the detail but there

had been suggestions because the Chinese are involved, they are

putting in billions of pounds, that there is a security issue and that's

exactly what is being looked at today. They say they trust and know

their Chinese partners and all staff are vetted, a very sensitive place

to work. He also says control systems at Hinckley will be isolated

from IT systems so any suggestion there could be hacking or anything

like that would not be possible. He also makes the case for the economy,

for jobs, apprenticeships, and for investment in the south-west of

England and says that will all be a very positive things so for Theresa

May it's going to be a difficult decision but once we have to make a

very soon not least because the needs electricity and we need to

have new power stations or an alternative in place because people

want to boil their capitals. She will be gathering her Cabinet around

here at Chequers on Wednesday. Has there been any response from Downing

Street regarding what the EDF boss has been saying? No, their line is

still we're going to wait and see. I think it's interesting in light of

the Brexit vote, it will dominate what Theresa May does in the coming

months and years, and she says very much Britain is open for business so

when she put it on hold, critics said this shows the opposite,

suggests we are not open for business, so she has some big

decisions to make, airport capacity is another one which has been

hanging around for several years now and she has had to cabinet ministers

before the summer, look at the opportunities that Brexit can give

your area, come back, have a meeting on Wednesday, talk about all of

that, that many people will be looking for a direction of travel

when it comes to Brexit, what are the terms of negotiation going to

be? She says Brexit means Brexit but people will be looking for more

details in the coming weeks. We believe that therefore now. Thank

you very much. -- we will leave that therefore now.

Motorists face further major disruption as wreckage of the bridge

that collapsed onto the M20 in Kent is cleared.

Highways England is reasonably confident of reopening the motorway

this lunchtime. The head of a French energy company

hoping to build a nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point has publicly

appealed to the British government to approve the project

saying its Chinese partners don't Company bosses should be held

personally responsible for nuisance That's the view of

consumer group Which? Which?

says millions of people cold calls and it's now

time for tougher action. They are the phone calls many of us

dread. Nuisance marketing calls, unwanted calls that tried to sell a

product or service to you. Research carried out in May for the consumer

group Which? Found that 81% of us had received at least one nuisance

call that month. 40% of those said they felt intimidated by the caller.

Hello, madam. Can I interest you... A change in the law last April means

it's now easier for the information Commissioner, the government

watchdog, to fine companies who plague people with solicitors

nuisance calls and texts, with fines up to ?500,000, but Which? Says four

out of 22 fines given to companies since then have been paid in full

and suggests some owners are even closing their companies to escape

paying the fines only to open new ones. You could be thousands of

pounds better off. So it now wants another change of a law which would

mean it is the boss of a company who was held responsible, rather than

the business itself. Tougher action, it says, is needed, because millions

of people are still being pestered. The men were detained after they

to rattle the area overnight, The death toll from the earthquake,

which struck a mountainous central region, has now reached

nearly 300 people. Well, James has spent

the day in Amatrice. He explained a little earlier how

people are coping three days on. A lot of Amatrice simply is not here

any more. The survivors have been moved to tents pitched on the edge

of town in a sports field and most of the people you see in the

wreckage of the town are rescue workers, firefighters, Alpine

rescuers, police officers and even the army as well, and structural

experts for that this is essentially become an area which they will still

try to recover bodies and where they will essentially in the end have to

try to rebuild. You can hear diggers going past which gives you a sense

that rescue workers are continuing here but nobody expects anyone else

to be found. The most recent body to be pulled out of the rubble was on

Wednesday evening and that was several days ago so they don't

expect any change to that at the moment. My colleagues and I were at

a small village on Friday and they were saying they didn't think there

was any future, it would simply be raised to the ground and people

would be made to move elsewhere. They are worried, not just about

losing their past, but losing their future as well and feel that their

memories of now been destroyed in the rubble and they are not sure

where they will live in the future. The US Republican Party's

out his plans in greater detail and at a campaign stop in Iowa,

he did just that. We are going to institute

some are not happy about it. Sarah Palin, the former Gov

to retreat on this issue. Can he satisfy his core support

without alienating minority voters? Can he build a wall and a winning

coalition at the same time? Simone Biles was one of the stars

How is it looking? Not too bad. Considering of the bank

holiday across the UK, dry and sunny weather to come. A bit mixed at this

moment in time so some of you will have to bear with it. Sunshine

breaking out after gloomy start to Sunday but even on this picture you

can see a bit of brightness on the horizon just beyond the low cloud.

It will take awhile to shift. Low pressure brought storms to start the

morning across northern England, trundling into Scandinavia, but it

will take awhile before we lose the heavy rain in the far south-east of

Scotland and parts of Northumberland, County Durham,

Teesside and Tyne Wear. The morning cloud breaks up. Showers in

Wales and England but more widespread as they go into the

afternoon. Gaps in between. The driest weather in Northern Ireland,

temperatures around 20 degrees in the north-west. As for Scotland, the

cloud breaks up and there will be some shouters into the afternoon

across central areas but western parts of northern England, a bit

brighter towards the east, and lots of dry and sunny weather towards

Wales and the south-west this afternoon. The Midlands, southern

England, East Anglia, one or two passing showers in that Northwest

wind, but very few. Hopefully the showers will avoid Notting Hill

Carnival today and into tomorrow, not only drier but warmer. This

evening and overnight, part of the Midlands, East Anglia, the South

will cease and showers continuing, gradually fading away. Partly clear

skies tomorrow morning. If you are camping tonight, cooler than it has

been overnight. Temperatures in towns and cities, 7-8, so a fresh

start to a bank holiday for most of the UK. Low cloud to begin with,

isolated showers, East Anglia and the far south-east, and most will

have a dry day. Cloud into western Scotland, the odd splash of rain,

but, considering it's a bank on a day Monday for most of you, and

usually it is a largely dry one. Sunny spells in the afternoon and

feeling warmer than it does today. To take a slew into Tuesday and

Wednesday, if you are extending your weekend into the week, high-pressure

building in from the south-west and we will see some weather fronts

clipped the North West of Scotland, producing patchy rain, more cloud in

northern and western areas but this will break up of times to let some

sunny spells through. The further south and east you are, the sunny

and the warmer things will be. Temperatures into the mid-20s.

The last BHS stores will close for the final time today, after 88 years

on the high street. Former workers are calling on Sir Philip Green to

fix the ?600 million pensions black hole. I'd like to say that you can

only actually be on one yacht at once! So sell up a couple of yachts

and use the money to plug the pension scheme. Motorists face

further disruption as wreckage of the bridge that collapsed onto the

the late peer's accusers. Coming up in the next few minutes,

the morning review of the Sunday morning edition of the papers.

Before the papers, sport and time for a full round up

Good morning. Manchester United and Chelsea have both maintained their

winning start to the Premier League season. Teenager Marcus Rashford

scored a late goal to give United a 1-0 victory over Hull city. Chelsea

beat Burnley 3-0. Jose Mourinho is the first United manager to win his

opening three games since Sir Matt Busby. He believes that yesterday's

narrow victory was the right result. We deserved it, and we deserved to

do it in a more comfortable way, but it is a great feeling when you win

points in the last few minutes. The second half was like going to fight

against a wall. A good wall, a very well-organised wall with an amazing

mentality. But we were very, very strong. Champions Leicester recorded

their first win of the season, with a 2-1 victory at home to Swansea.

Last season's top scorer Jamie Vardy got his first goal of the new

campaign. Good timing, as Sam Allardyce prepares to name his

England squad for their opening 2018 World Cup qualifier later today.

Arsenal also got their first win of the season with a 3-1 victory over

Watford. Mesut Ozil opened his account in his first game since Euro

2016, with this header. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed his

side are set to complete a double deal for Shkodran Mustafi and Perez,

with the pair costing around ?50 million.

Chelsea and Manchester United lead the way at the top of the Premier

League, with three wins out of three, at Manchester City will look

to join them later as Pep Guardiola settles into life in England. His

side host West Ham, who were knocked out of the Europa League in midweek.

That game is at 4pm, after West Brom play Middlesbrough.

I will try to implement our point of view, our way to see our game

That is why I am so excited to convince our players to play

the way we like, but until now, of course, results help.

And now the situation for us only regarding injury is not a good one.

But we are hoping, and our plan is to have a good game

and if we have a good game we can get something out of that game.

Celtic are back on top of the Scottish Premiership after a

comfortable win over Aberdeen. The defending champions beat last year's

runners up 4-1. Elsewhere, wins for Hamilton and Inverness. Tony Watt

scored his first goal for Hearts, as they couple are smooth winner at

Partick Thistle. In rugby league, Hull FC came from behind against

Warrington to win their first-ever Challenge Cup at Wembley. They were

10-0 down but full-back Jamie Shaw helped level things. They kept their

cool for a 12-10 victory. The Black-and-white 's had previously

failed to win eight Challenge Cup finals. We've come out with a great

attitude and we rattled than a bit and we took our chances. Tell me

about your thought process as you kicked for victory? Just, get it

over! The same thought process as every single one! Luckily it was

fairly easy, that last one. England have taken a 2-0 lead in their

one-day series against Pakistan with eight forwarded win at Lord's.

Pakistan were reduced to 2-3 but recovered to post 251 in their 50

overs thanks to a century from Sarfraz Ahmed.

England 2-0 ahead with three matches remaining. Lewis Hamilton will start

today's Belgian Grand Prix from the back of the grid. He has taken a 50

Five Place penalty for using too many engine parts. Nico Rosberg

starts in pole position and Max Verstappen stars alongside him on

the front row. Laura Muir broke her own record to win last night at the

Diamond weight Matt -- Diamond League meeting in Paris. The

23-year-old took more than two seconds off her time, to clock

3:55.22, setting a 2016 world best time to with the Olympic champion

from Kenya finishing second. The star of the night in Paris was

Olympic 3000 metre champion -- 3000 metres steeplechase champion Ruth

Jebet. Seven seconds quicker than her Rio time, a new world record!

Now the Papers. Hello and welcome to our Sunday

morning edition of The Papers. With me are this

morning's reviewers, the columnist and broadcaster

Yasmin Alibhai Brown and former Foreign Correspondent

and author Matthew Green. The Observer quotes a former Tory

health minister calling for a new tax to fund the NHS

and social care. The Sunday Telegraph says

Theresa May is asking her ministers for their personal

Brexit blueprints. More lives could be lost

on Britain's beaches, according to the Sunday Express,

which blames cuts for leaving coast The Mail on Sunday claims victory

over plans it says are in place to divert tens of millions of pounds

in foreign aid to fund Peter Sutcliffe's fears

over being transferred from Broadmoor Hospital

into a prison is the Sunday And the Sunday Mirror says a brother

of four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah faces being forced

to move back to Somalia. OK, let's begin. Good morning to you

both. We start with the Telegraph. What caught your eye here? The

Sunday Telegraph has a front-page story entitled" Made, the Brexit

enforcer". Theresa May has asked all the Cabinet ministers to come up

with Lou prints of what Brexit is going to look like. The rather

sinister part of the story is this claim that pro-EU civil servants are

going to thwart the whole enterprise. The story is a little

bit like something you would expect to find in some sort of

state-sponsored media in the Eastern bloc. "We've Gone after the

immigrants, now we've had the vote, it will be the civil servants who

stop as league -- stop us from leaving the EU". There is no

evidence to back it up, just a rather hysterical Tory MP saying we

need emergency legislation if anyone can do this, though they can be

fired. It has gone on for a while but it's a very thin story. There is

this atmosphere now, why isn't Brexit happening now? It can't

happen now! It is the fear in the Cabinet that are essentially at each

other's throats. Fear is too good a word, it is hysteria. I don't envy

Mrs May at all in this job. She must feel that she is ruling over the

most dysfunctional family ever, in her Cabinet. You say dysfunctional,

why do you think she is doing this? A lot of her team are probably

thinking oh no, what is point of this? Is she trying to unify them

all? I think, I don't know what you think, Matthew, but the right wing

of the Tory party will never be satisfied. They got their vote, they

got their place, but they will never be satisfied. It destroyed Cameron,

it destroyed William Hague, it destroyed everybody. You can see the

issue here in the first paragraph of the Telegraph story, "May is

ordering every cabinet minister to come up with a personal blueprint

for Brexit". Guess what? We don't get to decide the personal blueprint

for Brexit, that is something we have to decide with the EU. We are

living in a fantasyland. Rather than repeating this nonsense, it's time

that the media helped politicians to account over it. Interesting to know

if she's going to read each account, each blueprint! Who's going to come

first in this rather awkward shuffling silence around the table?

CHUCKLES We will turn to the Times and on the

front page we are going with Theresa May and a bit of Brexit as well.

What is the theme of this particular story? Like I said, nobody can do

anything that is enough for the Brexit side of the Tory party in the

Cabinet, so here this story is that Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, is a

quote," resisting plans for other ministers to pull out of the EU

single market". If we pull out of the EU single market, where are we

going to trade? Where are we going to go with this thing? That is the

problem, isn't it? We don't know what Brexit actually means, nobody

knows what it means and we can't know what it means until we've had

negotiations with the EU. The real headline for this story is actually

on the inside page, where Angela Merkel and other European leaders

are being very clear, either you stay in the single market and allow

free movement of people, which is more or less staying in the EU, or

you leave the single market and you start to impose controls on

immigration. It's one or the other. We're still talking about this story

like we get to choose. Guess what, we don't get to choose! I would just

like to see some of these journalists taking some of these

statements with a bit more of a pinch of salt.

Don't go for the journalists now? As the media, we need to look at

ourselves. We have wandered into this Brexit without realising it.

How many journalists were surprised by the result? We're all focused on

the latest argument taking place in Westminster. Not what's going on in

the regions and beyond the M25. Outside of Westminster. We don't

know our country. This particular article is pointing to the fact

there seems to be a turf war at Whitehall. Exactly, but also within

cabinet. Somewhere else, it says Boris Johnson and, what's his name,

Liam Fox, are really worried about who is really in charge? What is

Labour doing? Never mind the journalists, what is Labour doing

here? It is talking about trains. Yes, they should be having a field

day. LAUGHTER

OK, let's turn to the Mail on Sunday. Going inside the newspaper,

page three. This was an astonishing read. I don't know what you thought

of this. Good cream tests. -- good Queen tests. The submarine Prime

Minister, unlike David Cameron she has not been popping out of number

ten every day with a new sound bite. -- Tess. She's given an interview to

the Windsor, Maidenhead and as Scot magazine which the Sunday mail has

described as astonishingly candid. It's not that candid, actually, talk

about not liking snakes and not liking her nose. I don't think we

get a really powerful insight into the inner workings of Theresa May's

psyche but the Mail on Sunday marks up an image of her looking like a

little of the first. Because she's so private, I remember cheering her

at a meeting, on women in politics, honestly, she was terrifyingly

bright, but also terrifyingly unknowable. You never knew what

position she would take. I can see where her power comes from. It is

interesting to see she loves her husband. To see a softer side to

her. Interestingly, she says the qualities she likes in others is

conceit. Any psychologist would tell you the things we like in other

people tends to be the things we don't see in ourselves. What about

the subject of her nose. Because she's a woman, and all women judge

themselves by the way we look. They would never ask a man. We just put

it out there. Would they ask a Liam Fox, what part of you would you hate

the most? Would he tell us? No, there would be a withering stare,

wouldn't there? Perhaps on to more serious matters, the NHS, a rescue

plan? A call for a rescue plan. The former Tory health Minister, Doctor

Dan Porter, a part-time doctor, who says we need a new tax for the NHS

and social care to stop the whole system collapsing. It's been widely

reported that the NHS is going to face a ?20 billion funding shortage

by 2020. Huge amount of money. He is coming forward saying we need to

radically rethink the options here and Conservative Party does not like

taxes that maybe we need to think about bringing one in to steer the

ship away from the rocks. Yes, absolutely, but there needs to be

lose sky thinking now. We have got such a fast growing ageing

population, often stuck in hospital beds because they have got nowhere

to go, we should spend public money on a halfway house, a really good

place where older people in particular with complex problems,

can go after hospital. And get social care rather than medical

care. We need to do that, think much more about building a sector rather

than cutting back. That is going to cost though, isn't it? If we don't

do it, the NHS will collapse. Do you think it has a future, though? It

has to have a future, it's the one thing which binds everybody in this

country, whatever their political persuasions, except the tiny

minority who would go to private health care. It means a lot. I think

we should do something. A week ago there were reports about how the

government had caved in to pressure from the sugar industry, food

industry, over plans to reduce the amount of sugar in food, which has

shot up over last few decades. One aspect of the NHS is we need to

become healthier as a country. If the government is not willing to

take a hardline in favour of Public health, as opposed about and down to

corporate interests, then we have got a real problem. There is the

problem with the Great British Bake Off. Everybody is eating cakes. I'm

not with you on that one. I love it, I love it, I love it! We are

sticking with the NHS and turning to page two of the Times newspaper. You

picked up the bed shortage element. This is what the Times is focusing

on. A bed shortage, sending NHS back to the dark days of the 1980s. Yes,

and it's the same thing, not that there is a bed shortage, but

patients can't go home, especially those on their own, widowers,

widows, whose families could be far away, so there is a terrible

situation of people who are perhaps physically better but mentally and

emotionally in need, who are in hospitals and they should not be

there. Hospitals are miserable places for most of us. There has got

to be a big rethink on this, I think. It seems there is a breakdown

in the social care and the hospitals. You would think they

would be working closer together. They keep saying they are going to

and the Kings fund think tank, which has been in existence, is a very,

very good serious think tank, talking about a kind of United

service perhaps of health and social careful survey just seem to have

happened. I just don't know why. When you look at the statistics very

quickly, the Patients' Association revealing that the total number of

people waiting more than 18 weeks for surgery had risen to just under

90,000. It's almost doubled from what it was in 2015. 2014, sorry. It

was 51000 and it is now almost double. OK, let's turn to the Sunday

mail. Page four. This is a story that I think they picked up on the

front page. They are claiming victory in their campaign to cut

back on foreign aid. This is a fascinating story on many levels.

The Mail on Sunday has been running a whole series of Expose is over the

last few months about aid being wasted in many compelling ways,

actually, and there is a whole spread of examples on the inside

pages. And now the government is essentially saying it's going to

divert tens of millions of pounds that was in the aid budget to fund

the war on terror, now I've worked abroad for many years and I've seen

how a lot of aid goes to waste and I think there is absolutely a case for

reform in the way Britain distributes foreign aids. How? I

worked in Afghanistan for three years. I mean, the charities working

with the military in Helmand province creating projects which

were within a few months overrun by the Taliban and we've seen what

happened in Helmand province in the last few weeks, it virtually fallen

to the insurgents, so there's endless examples of money going to

waste but they are not hard to find. But the idea you can somehow take

that money and spend it on, you can sort of retool aid or submitted to

foreign policy objectives is wrong. There are bad examples and I know

there are, but also, in many, many areas, the aid is essential. The

smaller projects are really good and they work and they send out

independent evaluators. This is just crazy, so we are going to spend the

money, the war on terror, killer using weapons to kill people and

creating a bigger situation? It's total nonsense. Priti Patel has been

at the forefront of wanting this department closed. Very quickly,

about 40 seconds on the express. Hanging onto our inheritance. What

do you think about this? The coronet. I really could not care

less. There is your answer. It's clearly an excuse to but a picture

of Aidan Turner doing his work. It's clearly justification for the Sunday

express to talk about the coronet which has been blocked from being

sold abroad. Our inherited is safe. LAUGHTER

Thank you both very much indeed. Just a reminder we take a look

at tomorrow's front pages every Coming up on BBC One after this

programme is Sunday Morning Live. With the details we say good

morning to Naga Munchetty. Good morning. Yes, on Sunday morning

live, we are asking does destruction of a cultural monument count as a

war crime? The French ban on the bikini has been overturned but do

the prejudices exist in the UK or so? Nick Robinson is talk about his

biggest battle against cancer. Join us at 10am.

That's almost all from us here on BBC One.

We'll be back with the lunchtime news at one o'clock.

More news continues, of course, on the BBC News Channel.

We leave you now with Matt Taylor and a look at the weather.

Thank you. Good morning to you. You may need to sit down for this next

bit but we are into the bank on a day weekend across most parts of the

UK and, can you believe, the forecast for Monday at least looks

largely dry with sunny spells. A big improvement on what many of you have

at the window at the moment. A great start. Some sunshine in our weather

watcher pictures from the Western Isles of Scotland. Lovely blue skies

to start the day. Most of you will see an improvement as we go through

the day. Sunny spells winning through but for much of Scotland,

England and Wales, a low pressure system dominating. Storms across

England yesterday. The back edge brought storms to northern England

in particular and we have some persistent rain in the North East

which will gradually ease away but it will take a while before things

brighten up. Away from that, the morning cloud breaks through and

with the season sunny spells. A scattering of showers across

England, Wales and Scotland into the afternoon. Across Scotland, mainly

like with the odd heavy shower toward eastern areas. Northern

Ireland, fine day, temperatures in the high teens. In the breeze,

wherever you are, feeling fresher than has done of late. The cloud

lingering in the far north of England. And south-east of Scotland.

The south-east of England brightens up. Not a bad afternoon across Wales

in the south-west. The showers shifting Easter with so East Anglia

and southern England having some potentially thundery showers, at

some places will avoid them altogether. That's good news for

those heading off to the Notting Hill Carnival. Tomorrow, even

sunnier and warmer. Tonight, into the bank holiday, showers gradually

fading away from central and eastern parts of England. It should be a dry

night for most of you with some mist and low cloud here and there.

Temperatures in the towns and cities in double figures, but into the

countryside, unsettled to start bank on a day Monday. 7-8. Low cloud in

central and eastern parts, a small chance of a shower, but they will

fade away. Later one, the cloud in Northern Ireland, the odd splash of

rain, but eventually in Scotland, but for most of you, a bank holiday

Monday which is predominantly dry, reasonably sunny and feeling very

pleasantly warm as well. Temperatures in the south, 20-24.

Into the week, following the bank on a day weekend, high pressure builds

in from the south-west. We will see some cloud in the north and west of

the country with the odd spot of rain and drizzle every now and

again, breezy in Scotland and Northern Ireland but most will be

dry on Tuesday and Wednesday and the warmest and sunniest parts will be

England and Wales with temperatures of 20-25. Updates
