The NHS in England have denied claims from the British Red Cross,

:00:21.:00:26.

that there's a "humanitarian crisis" in its hospitals.

:00:27.:00:28.

Latest figures show A departments have had to shut their doors

:00:29.:00:32.

to patients more than 140 times in December because

:00:33.:00:34.

The Red Cross - which helps patients return home from hospital -

:00:35.:00:39.

is calling for more government money.

:00:40.:00:42.

But NHS England say plans are in place to cope

:00:43.:00:45.

with additional demand, and that talk of a humanitarian

:00:46.:00:47.

Our Health Correspondent Smitha Mundasad reports.

:00:48.:00:53.

Winter pressure on accident and emergency - nothing new.

:00:54.:01:00.

But the Red Cross says the strain on hospitals in England amounts

:01:01.:01:03.

The charity claims social care cuts mean patients are being sent home

:01:04.:01:10.

without the right support so they end up back in A

:01:11.:01:14.

Red Cross volunteers support NHS staff and say they've seen patients

:01:15.:01:17.

Some, who don't receive the care they need to get washed,

:01:18.:01:24.

even some who have fallen and not been found for days.

:01:25.:01:26.

A staff recognise the problems too.

:01:27.:01:32.

The pressures on the NHS and especially in emergency care

:01:33.:01:35.

are particularly intense at the moment.

:01:36.:01:37.

But what is more concerning is the number of patients who have been

:01:38.:01:40.

managed within four hours and then the delays to admission

:01:41.:01:44.

into the hospital bed base which unfortunately are very,

:01:45.:01:47.

very significant and our staff are working under some pretty

:01:48.:01:50.

And sometimes they just can't manage.

:01:51.:01:55.

Figures from NHS England show that overflowing A departments had

:01:56.:01:58.

to close their doors to new patients more than 140 times

:01:59.:02:01.

Compare that to the same month in 2015 and it's up more than 60%.

:02:02.:02:09.

No, I think that's an overstatement at this stage.

:02:10.:02:18.

Clearly, demand is very high and it's higher

:02:19.:02:20.

than it has ever been, but we have the most comprehensive

:02:21.:02:23.

plans in place that we ever had, but it is very difficult

:02:24.:02:26.

The death of two patients on emergency trolleys

:02:27.:02:30.

at Worcestershire Royal Hospital are being investigated.

:02:31.:02:33.

One of them had waited 35 hours for a bed.

:02:34.:02:37.

The Department of Health says it's providing billions more each year

:02:38.:02:40.

Beds are actually not quite as full as they were this time last year.

:02:41.:02:47.

But everyone in the Health Service knows things could get worse

:02:48.:02:50.

It's emerged that the man accused of shooting dead five people

:02:51.:02:59.

at an airport in Florida yesterday had a history of mental health

:03:00.:03:02.

problems - some of which followed military service in Iraq.

:03:03.:03:05.

Esteban Santiago, who's 26, was arrested after opening fire

:03:06.:03:08.

on people in the baggage reclaim area of Fort Lauderdale airport.

:03:09.:03:11.

Our Correspondent, Jonny Dymond, reports.

:03:12.:03:16.

As shots rang out in Fort Lauderdale's

:03:17.:03:23.

terminal 2, the area around the runway became the nearest thing

:03:24.:03:26.

Some lay on the ground to protect themselves.

:03:27.:03:38.

The gunman is believed to have brought a weapon out of his checked

:03:39.:03:48.

He loaded, fired, reloaded, fired again, then gave himself up.

:03:49.:03:56.

The subject is being interviewed by a team of FBI agents

:03:57.:04:12.

and Broward Sheriff's Office homicide detectives.

:04:13.:04:16.

In custody, a young man, Esteban Santiago.

:04:17.:04:21.

A 26-year-old military veteran with a history

:04:22.:04:24.

He'd served in Iraq and come back, a relative said,

:04:25.:04:29.

He'd said the government was controlling him.

:04:30.:04:38.

The individual did walk into our Anchorage office in November.

:04:39.:04:40.

He came in and spoke with FBI agents at that time.

:04:41.:04:44.

He clearly stated that he did not intend to harm anyone.

:04:45.:04:48.

However, his erratic behaviour concerned FBI agents that

:04:49.:04:53.

As the police locked down the airport, rumours swirled back

:04:54.:05:03.

But it was just one gunman, a badly disturbed man with training

:05:04.:05:12.

Talks aimed at averting a strike by London Underground

:05:13.:05:21.

workers are being held are the conciliation service ACAS.

:05:22.:05:24.

Members of the RMT and TSSA unions are due to walk out for

:05:25.:05:27.

24 hours on Sunday evening, causing travel chaos for

:05:28.:05:30.

They're in dispute with the company over staffing levels

:05:31.:05:35.

Dozens of people have been killed in a car bomb in the northern

:05:36.:05:41.

The bomb went off in a busy market in the rebel held town, which lies

:05:42.:05:47.

It's a key staging post on the supply route for rebel

:05:48.:05:52.

groups, and has been fought over by a number of factions

:05:53.:05:55.

A mutiny by the army in Ivory Coast has spread

:05:56.:06:00.

to the commercial capital, Abidjan.

:06:01.:06:03.

Gunfire has been heard inside a military camp

:06:04.:06:06.

There have also been shootings overnight in other towns.

:06:07.:06:10.

The mutiny began early yesterday in the north of the country.

:06:11.:06:15.

The US Department of Homeland Security says it

:06:16.:06:18.

will increase protection of the country's voting mechanisms

:06:19.:06:20.

It follows a report by intelligence officials accusing

:06:21.:06:25.

Russia's President Putin of trying to boost Donald Trump's

:06:26.:06:27.

The president-elect has described the claims

:06:28.:06:33.

as a "political witch-hunt", and said no voting machines

:06:34.:06:35.

But President Obama said that America's political

:06:36.:06:38.

The Russians intended to meddle, and they've meddled.

:06:39.:06:47.

I'll be honest with you George, one of the things I am concerned

:06:48.:06:51.

about is the degree to which we've seen a lot of commentary lately

:06:52.:06:57.

where there are Republicans, or pundits, or cable commentators,

:06:58.:07:00.

who seem to have more confidence in Vladimir Putin

:07:01.:07:03.

than fellow Americans, because those fellow

:07:04.:07:05.

With all the sport, here's Mike Bushell

:07:06.:07:11.

It may have come off his knee, but Wayne Rooney has equalled

:07:12.:07:19.

Bobby Charlton's all time scoring record for Manchester United.

:07:20.:07:25.

Goal number 249 came early in the FA Cup third round

:07:26.:07:27.

Anthony Martial made the goal after 7 minutes,

:07:28.:07:31.

with a stunning burst of speed into the box and a decent

:07:32.:07:35.

cross which came off Rooney's leg and looped in.

:07:36.:07:37.

So a big moment, 13 years after Rooney joined United and among

:07:38.:07:40.

those giving him a standing ovation, Sir Bobby Charlton himself.

:07:41.:07:43.

It's now 2-0 with Martial drilling in a second.

:07:44.:07:48.

Sir Andy Murray will play world number two,

:07:49.:07:56.

Novak Djokovic, in the final of the Qatar Open today.

:07:57.:07:59.

Murray is on a run of 28th wins in a row, on the ATP Tour,

:08:00.:08:03.

and another title and victory over his main rival,

:08:04.:08:05.

would be the ideal preparation for the Australian Open,

:08:06.:08:07.

We played at the end of last year. The ultimate goal was to find a way

:08:08.:08:12.

to win the match. Maybe at the beginning of the year

:08:13.:08:15.

you are focusing a little bit more on yourself, and how

:08:16.:08:18.

you are playing, and how you want to play, moving

:08:19.:08:21.

into the Aussie Open, rather than just solely

:08:22.:08:24.

focusing on the outcome. The chairman of UK Anti-Doping,

:08:25.:08:35.

David Kenworthy, says he is very disappointed by the information

:08:36.:08:38.

given to a parliamentary select committee by cycling

:08:39.:08:40.

chiefs last month. Sir Dave Brailsford was one

:08:41.:08:42.

of the British Cycling and Team Sky figures who answered questions

:08:43.:08:45.

on anti-doping, including a medical package delivered

:08:46.:08:46.

to Sir Bradley Wiggins. Kenworthy described information

:08:47.:08:50.

given to the Culture, Media and Sport Select

:08:51.:08:56.

Committee as extraordinary. Britain's badminton players

:08:57.:08:58.

were left stunned last month when UK Sport cut their funding completely

:08:59.:09:01.

ahead of Tokyo 2020. It followed a first Olympic medal

:09:02.:09:07.

for the sport in 12 years. In the coming weeks they will

:09:08.:09:10.

attempt to overturn that They were superb. Winning Olympic

:09:11.:09:23.

bronze in Rio was supposed to be the catalyst for future badminton

:09:24.:09:27.

success. No one predicted UK sport would cut all their funding. To

:09:28.:09:31.

receive that information was getting. It almost felt like our

:09:32.:09:37.

medals were snatched away from us. Without any support at all from UK

:09:38.:09:41.

sport, our programme will take a severe hit. Lots of players will

:09:42.:09:45.

have to leave and stop playing. Badminton is the most played racket

:09:46.:09:50.

sport in the UK, but UK Sport base their funding model on who they

:09:51.:09:57.

think will win Olympic medals they are not sure about badminton. This

:09:58.:10:00.

board believes they can overturn the decision in the next month. We have

:10:01.:10:04.

a really strong case. We have players who in the last 12 months

:10:05.:10:09.

have won Olympic medals, world tour titles, super series titles, the

:10:10.:10:13.

biggest events in our sport where we are competing regularly and beating

:10:14.:10:17.

the best in the world. Commonwealth champions missed out on a medal in

:10:18.:10:21.

Rio, which could have been crucial to the UK Sport decision. The pair

:10:22.:10:25.

have consistently mixed it with the world's elite. Something these

:10:26.:10:31.

rising stars aim to follow. Without the UK Sport funding, it will be

:10:32.:10:36.

virtually impossible for those that Milton Keynes at the norm to make

:10:37.:10:41.

the jump to the Olympics. Individually we have the potential

:10:42.:10:44.

to win medals in Tokyo. Everybody should have the opportunity to reach

:10:45.:10:49.

their goals and dreams. I've had my time. I got to go and achieve what I

:10:50.:10:54.

did. I feel like it's been a waste. Don't just go from support to

:10:55.:11:00.

nothing. Give these guys a chance. Now it's almost like Mount Everest.

:11:01.:11:04.

But we are willing to climb it. We are going to fight this until the

:11:05.:11:07.

very end. The battle begins later this month with UK Sport insisting

:11:08.:11:12.

they will give badminton a fair hearing and the opportunity to earn

:11:13.:11:18.

a reprieve. An update from Old Trafford, 40 minutes gone in the FA

:11:19.:11:22.

Cup third-round tie and it still Manchester United 2-0 Reading.

Good afternoon. It's a benign weather story across the UK. But

:11:30.:11:53.

it's great for most of us. This was a weather watcher's photographs sent

:11:54.:11:58.

earlier. The dew on the grass in Cumbria. Some sunshine, this was

:11:59.:12:01.

sent from Derbyshire, the tops of the hills. But the sunshine is

:12:02.:12:05.

fairly limited as you can see from the satellite picture. In a
