NHS Providers have warned that the Health Service is under

:00:19.:00:24.

the "greatest pressure for a generation" and a seven-day

:00:25.:00:27.

service will be impossible to achieve with current funding

:00:28.:00:29.

Chris Hopson, who heads the group representing NHS hospitals

:00:30.:00:34.

in England, told the BBC it was time for a serious debate

:00:35.:00:37.

The Government says it's giving NHS England the ?10

:00:38.:00:44.

Hospitals running at full capacity, standards of care under pressure,

:00:45.:00:59.

and patients at risk. The diagnose frills the NHS providers is that the

:01:00.:01:04.

health service doesn't just need attention but life-support. On the

:01:05.:01:09.

front line the people who are responsible every day for overseeing

:01:10.:01:13.

the safe delivery of care, what they are saying clearly is they cannot

:01:14.:01:17.

provide the right quality of care and meet the performance standards

:01:18.:01:19.

on the money that's available, and something has to give. The problem,

:01:20.:01:24.

he says, is that funding hasn't kept up with the demand for National

:01:25.:01:27.

Health Services. So while three years ago 5% of acute care hospitals

:01:28.:01:32.

were running a financial deficit, now that figure is 80%. In the same

:01:33.:01:37.

time period, the percentage of hospitals missing A waiting time

:01:38.:01:44.

targets has jumped from 10% to 90%. The NHS providers say that

:01:45.:01:47.

healthcare rationing is one approach to cutting costs. The Vale of York's

:01:48.:01:53.

already proposed delaying surgery for obese patients, arguing that

:01:54.:01:57.

outcomes from less successful than for those who are not. It want to

:01:58.:02:01.

provide the same rules for smokers. Cutting staff is another option. The

:02:02.:02:06.

Department of Health says it has committed an tra ?10 billion to fund

:02:07.:02:11.

the NHS's own plan for its future it says while it recognises the

:02:12.:02:15.

pressures on the health service of an ageing population the Government

:02:16.:02:20.

expecting the NHS s ensure patients are treated quickly. I'm not sure

:02:21.:02:24.

anything has gone wrong the sail of which he is trying to put forward.

:02:25.:02:27.

But we have to engage with the leadership of the NHS. I'm proud of

:02:28.:02:31.

the NHS. They are delivering 4,000 more operation as day since 2010 and

:02:32.:02:36.

most people anecdotally tell me that their experience is good. Junior

:02:37.:02:40.

doctors and the Government are still battling over a new seven day

:02:41.:02:44.

contract, but the NHS providers say with the health service struggling

:02:45.:02:48.

to meet existing demand, stretching the NHS still further appears

:02:49.:02:53.

impossible. Richard Lister, BBC News.

:02:54.:02:55.

The Home Secretary says the Government is considering

:02:56.:02:57.

a system of work permits for EU citizens when Britain

:02:58.:03:00.

Amber Rudd says she's committed to reducing migration to the tens

:03:01.:03:03.

of thousands, but any system had to be beneficial to the economy.

:03:04.:03:06.

Our political correspondent, Matt Cole, is at the Home Office.

:03:07.:03:15.

In the two months since Britain voted to leave the European Union,

:03:16.:03:21.

we've had very few details as to the shape or nature of any Brexit deal,

:03:22.:03:24.

not least on the issue of immigration. Controlling Britain's

:03:25.:03:28.

borders was of course one of the key reasons many people said they voted

:03:29.:03:33.

for leaving the EU. Earlier in the week the Prime Minister did tell us

:03:34.:03:37.

she was ruling out a points-based system of immigration. She said it

:03:38.:03:41.

wouldn't work, despite that being one of the key proposals from the

:03:42.:03:44.

Vote Leave campaign. As for what could be ruled in, we hadn't heard

:03:45.:03:50.

too much until today, when Amber Rudd said her officials are looking

:03:51.:03:54.

at a work permit system, perhaps where skills shortages are met by

:03:55.:03:59.

visas being handed out. Botham ber Rudd and her officials have made it

:04:00.:04:04.

clear this is one of many options being looked at and nothing has yet

:04:05.:04:09.

been decided. But it does give us an insight into something that might be

:04:10.:04:15.

in that final Brexit deal. Amber Rudd did say that whatever final

:04:16.:04:17.

system is put in place, it would have to be balanced off against the

:04:18.:04:21.

needs of the economy. Matt, thank you.

:04:22.:04:22.

A woman killed in a parachute accident has been

:04:23.:04:24.

Her family said she was an avid skydiver

:04:25.:04:27.

She died after she hit a parked car at Shotton Colliery,

:04:28.:04:33.

The 49-year-old, from Hebburn, South Tyneside, was taken

:04:34.:04:39.

to hospital by air ambulance, where she died from her injuries.

:04:40.:04:44.

Heavy airstrikes by the Syrian Government are continuing before

:04:45.:04:46.

a ceasefire brokered by the US and Russia is due to start tomorrow.

:04:47.:04:49.

Syrian television showed the conditions in the town

:04:50.:04:57.

Iran, a key supporter of President Assad, has cautiously welcomed a

:04:58.:05:02.

pause in the fighting. Aid agencies are hoping that a pause

:05:03.:05:04.

in fighting will be achieved to allow them to deliver emergency

:05:05.:05:07.

supplies to many hundreds The Labour Party has suspended

:05:08.:05:09.

a prominent donor who likened Jeremy Corbyn's leadership team

:05:10.:05:13.

to Nazi troops. Michael Foster made the comparison

:05:14.:05:15.

in a Mail on Sunday article last month, after he failed to stop

:05:16.:05:18.

Mr Corbyn from being automatically allowed to stand

:05:19.:05:20.

in the leadership election. Mr Foster said he did not use

:05:21.:05:22.

the word "Nazi" but that the paper Unions are gathering in Brighton

:05:23.:05:25.

for their annual TUC Congress - the first to be held

:05:26.:05:33.

since the EU referendum vote. Unions say they'll be

:05:34.:05:37.

concentrating their efforts of ensuring the Brexit deal does not

:05:38.:05:39.

have an adverse effect on workers Our industry correspondent

:05:40.:05:42.

John Moylan is there. So what's the TUC been

:05:43.:05:45.

saying this morning? I think trade unions are still

:05:46.:05:54.

grappling with that vote to leave the EU, and in a press conference

:05:55.:05:59.

this morning the head of the TUC, Frances O'Grady, made it clear she

:06:00.:06:03.

believes that workers mustn't pay the price for Brexit. What she's

:06:04.:06:08.

getting at is we have certain rights enshrined in EU law. The rightly to

:06:09.:06:13.

be consulted if your firm decides to cut a lot of jobs. She want to see

:06:14.:06:17.

those rights eroded as we seek investment into Britain in the years

:06:18.:06:22.

ahead. Interestingly the TUC publishing figures suggesting that

:06:23.:06:26.

compared to rich countries the UK is towards the bottom of the table when

:06:27.:06:30.

it comes to public and private investment in the UK. I think we'll

:06:31.:06:38.

also see unions keep up pressure on the Prime Minister Theresa May. She

:06:39.:06:41.

wanted worker representation on boards and with regards to clamping

:06:42.:06:47.

down on competitive pay. I think we'll see those themes talked about

:06:48.:06:52.

this week in Brighton. Many thanks, John.

:06:53.:06:53.

For the first time since 1988, a British Paralympian has won two

:06:54.:06:56.

medals in two different sports at the same games.

:06:57.:06:58.

Kadeena Cox won a cycling gold by breaking the world record

:06:59.:07:01.

in the 500 metres time trial just 24 hours after winning bronze

:07:02.:07:04.

Hannah Cockroft retained her T34 100 metres title, and Andy Lewis also

:07:05.:07:09.

Kadeena Cox, Paralympic champion, world record holder, multitasker.

:07:10.:07:14.

She arrived for her C45 cycling time trial having run a 100 metre

:07:15.:07:19.

The resulting bronze medal in her hotel room,

:07:20.:07:24.

and the effort required to win it still in her legs.

:07:25.:07:27.

Little over two years ago she was a promising able-bodied

:07:28.:07:31.

runner, when she suffered a stroke and was diagnosed with

:07:32.:07:33.

Cox was the last on her bike in the time trial.

:07:34.:07:38.

She left everyone else's time in a blur.

:07:39.:07:44.

A world record ride that even pushed Dame Sarah Storey off the podium.

:07:45.:07:47.

No British Paralympian has won medals in separate sports

:07:48.:07:51.

Hannah Cockroft's speed, skill and story inspired many

:07:52.:08:02.

at the London Games, among them a teenager in lane four

:08:03.:08:05.

15-year-old Kare Adenegan, riding because of what she saw four

:08:06.:08:12.

years ago, and she had the best view of her hero in action.

:08:13.:08:15.

No catching Cockroft, but behind her Adenegan.

:08:16.:08:17.

In one picture, women's wheelchair sprinting's immediate past,

:08:18.:08:22.

In the men's T33 event, Kuwait's Ahmad Almutairi was out

:08:23.:08:27.

Bronze for Andrew Small and for Toby Gold, well, silver.

:08:28.:08:33.

A first Welsh medal of the Games was landed by Sabrina Fortune, third

:08:34.:08:39.

While a relatively quiet night for GB in the pool

:08:40.:08:45.

got a bronze finish, thanks to Alice Tai in the S10

:08:46.:08:47.

Day three saw a Paralympic first, a launch of Para-triathlon.

:08:48.:08:54.

It brought with it another British gold.

:08:55.:08:57.

Andy Lewis lost a leg as a result of a traffic accident and took up

:08:58.:09:01.

The reward for achieving your ultimate aim?

:09:02.:09:05.

Well, he promised himself a beer for the first time in two years.

:09:06.:09:08.

I want to take you live to New York, where the United States is about to

:09:09.:09:21.

begin commemorating the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terror

:09:22.:09:24.

attacks. At the White House President Obama is going to mark the

:09:25.:09:30.

moment at 8. .46 in the morning when the hijacked plane hit the North

:09:31.:09:35.

Tower of the World Trade Center, heralding the start of what's been

:09:36.:09:41.

described as the greatest ever terror attack on the mainland United

:09:42.:09:48.

States. The 2,983 victims will be read slowly by relatives as music is

:09:49.:09:53.

played during a ceremony at the 9/11 memorial.

:09:54.:09:54.

Hello. The weather says September, but the calendar of course says

:09:58.:10:13.

September, the weather this week won't be close to, that because we

:10:14.:10:16.

are expecting something different for the time of year. Last week if

:10:17.:10:18.

you thought
