:01:38. > :01:40.As a teenager, he spent time in prison for armed robbery,

:03:07. > :03:12.For the first time, NHS providers says the money allocated
:03:13. > :03:16.for the next financial year beginning in April is not enough
:03:17. > :03:20.to meet growing patient demand and will make it difficult if not
:03:21. > :03:22.impossible to meet targets like A waiting times.
:03:23. > :03:29.It's been a winter of unprecedented strain on the NHS,

:03:41. > :03:44.NHS providers representing hospitals and other trusts said that may ease
:03:45. > :03:47.some of the pressure, but there'll still be a yawning gap

:03:59. > :04:03.That's before the year has even started.
:04:04. > :04:06.That's the first time ever that's actually happened.
:04:07. > :04:14.The warning comes after the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,
:04:15. > :04:16.said hospitals in England should get back to the target of seeing
:04:17. > :04:20.or assessing 95% of patients in A within four hours.
:04:21. > :04:24.It's not going to be overnight, but it is essential.
:04:25. > :04:27.I am expecting the NHS to return to that target during the course
:04:28. > :04:35.But NHS providers say it's unprecedented to warn,
:04:36. > :04:38.even before the financial year begins, that, on current planned
:04:39. > :04:44.budgets, the A standard and others can't be met.

:07:11. > :07:14.handling Brexit? That was the pitch for the business vote but he is
:07:15. > :07:18.appealing more widely to voters on the centre-left. The Lib Dems only
:07:19. > :07:22.have nine seats in parliament but they point to the fact that
:07:23. > :07:27.membership is higher now than it has been the 20 years and there was a
:07:28. > :07:30.surge in members during the time of the European referendum and the
:07:31. > :07:34.election of Donald Trump and they say that a significant. He painted a
:07:35. > :07:39.stark picture of change across the world today and he positioned the
:07:40. > :07:46.Conservatives under Theresa May as part of an emerging consensus on the
:07:47. > :07:49.political right characterised by nationalism, authoritarianism and
:07:50. > :07:54.protectionism. He compared Theresa May to Vladimir Putin and Donald
:07:55. > :07:58.Trump, and threw in the name of Marine Le Pen, the French National
:07:59. > :08:04.Front for good measure. The point is his party, in this country at least,

:08:10. > :08:11.buying new cars will face increased Among the worst hit will be those
:08:12. > :08:15.purchasing greener, more environmentally-friendly hybrid
:08:16. > :08:18.vehicles - some of which will attract road tax -
:08:19. > :08:22.or vehicle excise duty, as it's now formally known -
:08:23. > :08:24.for the first time, as our business correspondent
:08:25. > :08:34.Joe Lynam explains. Car drivers were encouraged to go
:08:35. > :08:39.green by Gordon Brown in the early 2000s. He wanted us to drive cars
:08:40. > :08:44.with low carbon emissions in return for paying less road tax and in some
:08:45. > :08:50.cases nothing. But from next month that's about to change with road tax
:08:51. > :08:55.increasing for new, greener cars. Most cars bought from April the 1st
:08:56. > :09:00.will pay an initial charge depending on their emissions and then ?140
:09:01. > :09:07.after that every year. It means hybrid cars will have to pay ?130 in
:09:08. > :09:12.road tax, and cars costing ?40,000 or more will face an additional
:09:13. > :09:17.premium, but luckily new duties will have no effect on cars already on UK
:09:18. > :09:21.roads. Already we are hearing dealerships have been very busy in
:09:22. > :09:25.the build-up to this change, people are trying to get in there before
:09:26. > :09:34.they will be hit by the extra cost, but we are expecting afterwards
:09:35. > :09:38.there to be a lull, particularly hitting hybrid car sales. The
:09:39. > :09:41.Government says the new vehicle excise duty will be fair to
:09:42. > :09:45.motorists, good for the environment and improve air quality by
:09:46. > :09:49.encouraging the take-up of cleaner vehicles. This is a plug-in hybrid
:09:50. > :09:54.vehicle which means when it is running on its battery it doesn't
:09:55. > :09:58.emit any noxious gases at all but if you buy this vehicle from people you
:09:59. > :10:04.will be paying ?440 per year more than if you bought it today. Some
:10:05. > :10:06.people believe that will dis- incentivise people from buying green
:10:07. > :10:08.cars. You can see more on all of today's
