:00:26. > :00:29.if they don't keep surgeries open for longer to meet patient demand.
:00:30. > :00:33.The government says many people are going to hard-pressed accident

:00:40. > :00:51.Our health correspondent Robert Pigott reports.
:00:52. > :01:00.Hospitals have faced a winter crisis like none before. Unprecedented
:01:01. > :01:05.pressure in the New Year, led almost half to declare a major alert
:01:06. > :01:09.doctors warning patient safety was being compromised. Today the
:01:10. > :01:14.government said GP surgeries were partly at fault, failing to provide
:01:15. > :01:18.the access patients need, forcing them into accident departments
:01:19. > :01:24.instead. The government wants surgeries to open from 8am until 8pm
:01:25. > :01:27.and open seven days a week unless they can prove there is no demand.
:01:28. > :01:33.They said they will withhold extra funding unless GPs comply. I have
:01:34. > :01:37.worked as a nurse for many years in the NHS and I know every winter is
:01:38. > :01:41.difficult, but this winter in particular, I have seen the highest
:01:42. > :01:46.number ever attending A so we have to make best use of resources.
:01:47. > :01:49.Funding is tight and if GPs will not be open when the public need them to
:01:50. > :01:56.be open, the funding can be directed to other places in the NHS such as
:01:57. > :01:59.A But GPs say they are being made a scapegoat for the government's
:02:00. > :02:04.failure to fund the NHS sufficiently. If all practices were
:02:05. > :02:09.expected to open seven days a week using five days worth of funding and
:02:10. > :02:13.staffing, all that would happen is we would undermine the quality of
:02:14. > :02:16.care we can provide to the vast majority of our patients and we
:02:17. > :02:21.would stretch an already overstretched service more thinly.
:02:22. > :02:28.Some health experts have supported claims by doctors that congestion in
:02:29. > :02:33.A Department has been caused by finding beds for more seriously ill
:02:34. > :02:37.patients than overflow from GP surgeries. They say medically fit
:02:38. > :02:42.patients are clogging up badly needed beds because of the shortage
:02:43. > :02:46.of money to care for them at home. Today, Jeremy Corbyn took the
:02:47. > :02:50.opportunity to announce a new Labour proposal to ease the pressure on
:02:51. > :02:54.social care. A Labour government would give social care at the
:02:55. > :02:58.funding it needs and give a firm commitment to take failed private
:02:59. > :03:03.care homes into public ownership to maintain the social care protection
:03:04. > :03:14.that our people need. Research suggests three in ten people in A
:03:15. > :03:16.would be better treated elsewhere and the government insists GPs are
:03:17. > :03:17.vital to stopping them going there. It is now ready to take tough
:03:18. > :03:20.measures to see that they do. Let's speak to our political
:03:21. > :03:22.correspondent Chris Mason. What's your assessment then Chris,
:03:23. > :03:31.about what Theresa May's I think after a howling gale of bad
:03:32. > :03:36.headlines from the government over the past couple of days, Theresa May
:03:37. > :03:40.wants to be seen to be taking charge and be on the side patients, the
:03:41. > :03:44.underside of the woman who came up to me a couple of minutes ago with
:03:45. > :03:48.her phone, counting on a stopwatch, nearly seven hours she has waited to
:03:49. > :03:52.get her elderly mother checked into a bed. She was full of praise for
:03:53. > :04:00.the staff saying it wasn't their fault, it was the system under too
:04:01. > :04:04.much pressure. Theresa May, rather than GPs is pursuing a risky
:04:05. > :04:08.strategy. We have seen that with the reaction it has provoked. But
:04:09. > :04:12.arguably, politically it would have been more risky to say nothing. For
:04:13. > :04:17.a long time, it has been an Achilles heel of the Conservatives and they
:04:18. > :04:21.have not been trusted with the NHS. This week, this month, this winter,
:04:22. > :04:26.doesn't with that. Chris, thanks very much.
:04:27. > :04:28.A teenager who was stolen as a newborn from a hospital
:04:29. > :04:31.in Florida 18 years ago has been found in South Carolina.
:04:32. > :04:33.Kamiyah Mobley was discovered after a tip-off and DNA tests
:04:34. > :04:37.The woman who raised her has been charged with kidnapping.
:04:38. > :04:46.Our Washington Correspondent Laura Bicker sent this report.
:04:47. > :04:53.This is Kamiyah Mobley, with a woman, who for Hall and her life she
:04:54. > :04:57.believed was her mother. But the 18-year-old has discovered the
:04:58. > :05:04.truth. And today that woman, Gloria Williams is behind bars. You have
:05:05. > :05:08.been charged with kidnapping. Kamiyah was stolen from a hospital
:05:09. > :05:13.in Florida eight hours after she was born, by someone posing as a nurse.
:05:14. > :05:16.Her family pleaded for help to find her and police received thousands of
:05:17. > :05:21.tip-offs. But it was only in the last year they had a breakthrough.
:05:22. > :05:25.She had an inclination beginning a couple of months ago, she may have
:05:26. > :05:31.been involved in this in some way. She has a lot to process and a lot
:05:32. > :05:34.to think about. Kamiyah's family in Florida have never forgotten the
:05:35. > :05:39.baby that was snatched from them in 1988 and they have been in touch
:05:40. > :05:43.over the Internet. She sounds so intelligent and she said she will be
:05:44. > :05:50.here to see us. Every day you get up, there is always hope. There was
:05:51. > :05:54.always hope. For Kamiyah herself, there is shock and disbelief, as she
:05:55. > :05:56.watches the woman she thought was her mother, jailed for being her
:05:57. > :06:00.abductor. The US President-elect,
:06:01. > :06:02.Donald Trump, has suggested he may drop sanctions imposed
:06:03. > :06:03.against Russia over In an interview with
:06:04. > :06:06.the Wall Street Journal, Mr Trump said he would retain
:06:07. > :06:09.the sanctions "at least for a period of time"
:06:10. > :06:11.but could scrap them if Russia was helpful to the US,
:06:12. > :06:18.for example in fighting terrorism. The committee of MPs overseeing
:06:19. > :06:21.the Brexit process has called on the government to reveal details
:06:22. > :06:25.of its plans by next month. The all-party group of MPs also says
:06:26. > :06:28.the government should reach a transitional agreement
:06:29. > :06:30.with the EU, to give Our business correspondent
:06:31. > :06:39.Joe Lynam reports. For months, Britain's largest
:06:40. > :06:41.employers have been calling for clarity on what type of deal
:06:42. > :06:46.will emerge post Brexit. Many want a transition arrangement
:06:47. > :06:49.with the EU so they can plan Today, MPs on both sides
:06:50. > :06:53.of the Brexit argument, piled more pressure on Theresa May
:06:54. > :06:59.by calling for exactly that. We think any return to tariffs
:07:00. > :07:02.or bureaucratic obstacles would not be in the interests of British
:07:03. > :07:05.business and the committee believes transitional arrangements will be
:07:06. > :07:07.needed to smooth the process as we leave the European Union,
:07:08. > :07:11.particularly if there were to be any changes to the way we trade
:07:12. > :07:19.or the way we sell our services. This group of MPs and business
:07:20. > :07:22.want to know whether Britain wants to remain within the single market
:07:23. > :07:26.and they want to give MPs And if a deal can't be reached
:07:27. > :07:31.within the two-year time frame, they want a transitional phase
:07:32. > :07:34.to smooth the process out One of the key sectors in all
:07:35. > :07:42.of this is the City of London, which provides more than a tenth
:07:43. > :07:44.of UK tax revenues. Critics say that's what
:07:45. > :07:46.the government should be protecting. We should spend the two
:07:47. > :07:49.years of negotiations on the financial services,
:07:50. > :07:51.ensuring the city is OK. We don't need
:07:52. > :07:56.a transitional arrangement. The EU's chief Brexit
:07:57. > :07:59.negotiator Michel Barnier, warned there wouldn't be any special
:08:00. > :08:02.deals to protect UK On Tuesday, the Prime Minister
:08:03. > :08:07.gives a key speech It's far from certain though
:08:08. > :08:12.that she will be able to provide the detail that many on both sides
:08:13. > :08:14.are now demanding. Football and Premier League leaders
:08:15. > :08:23.Chelsea play Leicester this evening, without their leading striker Diego
:08:24. > :08:25.Costa. The player's been central
:08:26. > :08:27.to Chelsea's success this season. But there are claims he's fallen out
:08:28. > :08:30.with his manager and talk of a multi-million pound move
:08:31. > :08:32.to the Chinese Super League. Here's our Sports
:08:33. > :08:43.reporter Patrick Gearey. Where there is Costa, there is
:08:44. > :08:47.danger. The Premier League's top scorer is a headache for defenders,
:08:48. > :08:51.but now it seems also for his manager. Diego Costa will not play
:08:52. > :08:55.against Leicester this evening after a dispute with the coach over his
:08:56. > :09:00.fitness. Reports emerged last mike. Big-money interest in the player
:09:01. > :09:08.from China. Yesterday Chelsea's manager was shy about his team
:09:09. > :09:12.selection. I have, honestly I have to check a couple of situations and
:09:13. > :09:22.then decide tomorrow. The pull of the East recently Lord O, now on an
:09:23. > :09:26.estimated ?400,000 a week. China has been the destination of John Obi
:09:27. > :09:32.Mikel and Didier Drogba, who left in 2012. Costa has been offered ?30
:09:33. > :09:38.million a year by an unnamed Chinese club, so why stay? He is at his
:09:39. > :09:42.peak. The team is built around him, absolutely, totally. He is a top
:09:43. > :09:47.player. If he wants to go to China and be bored for 18 hours a day,
:09:48. > :09:50.good luck with that. Harry Kane offered the perfect example of a
:09:51. > :10:02.striker's value in the Premier League. His hat-trick moved Spurs
:10:03. > :10:04.second behind Chelsea. Costa offered his support on social media as they
:10:05. > :10:05.prepare to play Leicester, but Chelsea will be worried about
:10:06. > :10:08.Chinese cheque-books. There's more throughout the evening
