An NHS Trust blames pressures
on the service after an elderly | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
woman dies in her home while waiting
for an ambulance. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
Paramedics dealing with thousands
of 999 calls took almost four hours | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
to reach the pensioner. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
I'm furious, it shouldn't happen. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
We need an inquiry, we need
to get to the bottom of it | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
and find out what happened,
and make sure it never | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
happens to anybody again. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
Donald Trump dismisses doubts
over his mental stability and says | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
an extraordinary new book
about his presidency | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
is a work of fiction. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
The department store House of Fraser
seeks to cut its costs | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
in another sign of pressures
on the high street. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:44 | |
And Mark Hughes is sacked
as Stoke City manager, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
after they're knocked out of the FA
Cup by League Two Coventry. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:56 | |
Good evening. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
An Ambulance Service has apologised
to the family of a pensioner | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
who died after waiting nearly four
hours for help to arrive. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:23 | |
The 81-year-old woman had rung 999
complaining of chest pain. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
The East of England service said
it was stretched, and had warned | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
of the pressures its staff
and the NHS were facing. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
Our correspondent Sarah Campbell
reports from Clacton in Essex. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
We don't know the name
of the woman who died, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
but we do know some of the details
of her tragic death. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
She rang 999 on Tuesday evening
and waited and waited. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
After around an hour and a half,
the Ambulance Service did ring her, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
but it wasn't for a further two
hours before a crew finally arrived. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:53 | |
They had to break into her house,
they found her unconscious, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
not breathing, and she couldn't be
saved. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
The paramedics who found her
are said be devastated. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
SIRENS. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
The period over New Year was,
according to the local | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Ambulance Service in Essex,
the busiest ever. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
On the day in question they received
more than 4,000 999 calls, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
far more than usual. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
A statement in response to the death
of the 81-year-old woman said: | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
The local MP is demanding answers.
I'm furious, it shouldn't happen. We | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
need an enquiry and ensure it never
happens to anyone again. And as the | 0:02:48 | 0:02:54 | |
government doing enough? We'll find
out when we have the enquiry. | 0:02:54 | 0:03:04 | |
This is the second death in recent
days which has been linked | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
to an overstretched service. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
88-year-old Josephine Smalley died
following a seven-hour wait | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
for a bed at the Queen Alexandra
Hospital in Portsmouth. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
In recent days, the Health Secretary
and Prime Minister have both | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
apologised to patients
after thousands of non-urgent | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
operations were cancelled. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:17 | |
The Health Service says
a combination of winter flu and cold | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
weather are adding to pressure
on the service. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
The union representing health
workers also blamed wider pressures | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
on the Health Service. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:37 | |
I think there is
chronic underfunding. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
It's endemic, it tells us
that the public sector is under | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
so much strain that it is now
beginning to kill people. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:53 | |
Theresa May has said that extra
funding has been made available | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
to the NHS and insisted it is better
prepared for winter | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
than ever before. | 0:03:58 | 0:03:59 | |
In relation to this particular death
in Clacton, the Department of Health | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
issued a statement today saying
"it is completely unacceptable | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
when care falls below the high
standards we expect. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
It's right the Service
is investigating how things went | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
so wrong in this tragic case". | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Sarah Campbell there. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
Donald Trump has dismissed
claims made in a new book | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
that he is mentally
unfit for office. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
He's told a news conference
that his success in business, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
television and politics is proof
of his capabilities. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
And he's dismissed the book's
author, Michael Wolff, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
who was given long-term access
to the White House, as a fraud. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
From Washington, David Willis. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | |
Boarding a flight to Camp David
for meetings with senior Republican | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
leaders, the image that Donald Trump
was seeking to project was one of | 0:04:38 | 0:04:44 | |
order, professionalism and control. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
Instead he finds himself battling
claims contained in a book, claims | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
which question his mental fitness. | 0:04:50 | 0:05:00 | |
The Commander in chief took to
social media to asset... | 0:05:01 | 0:05:11 | |
Later, he took aim at the book's
author Michael Wolff. I consider it | 0:05:13 | 0:05:20 | |
a work of fiction. I think it's a
disgrace someone is able to have | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
something, do something like that.
The libel laws are very weak in this | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
country. If they were strong it
would be very helpful. You wouldn't | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
have things like that happen where
you can say whatever comes into your | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
head. I never interviewed with him
in the White House, he was never in | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
the Oval Office. We didn't have an
interview. Possibly the most | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
damaging claim is that the president
lacks curiosity, doesn't read, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
doesn't listen, is like a child.
They all came to the conclusion | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
gradually at first and then faster
and faster, that something was | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
unbelievably amiss. That this was
more peculiar than they ever | 0:05:58 | 0:06:04 | |
imagined it could be. The book
portrays the White House in a | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
constant state of chaos, reeling
under the influence of a petulant, | 0:06:08 | 0:06:15 | |
easily distracted commander in
chief. A leading member of the | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
administration is taking issue with
that. Never questioned his mental | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
fitness. I had no reason to. We have
different management styles. How I | 0:06:22 | 0:06:29 | |
make decisions, process information,
I have to learn how he takes | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
information in and processes it and
makes decisions. Having successfully | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
passed legislation just before
Christmas reforming America's | 0:06:37 | 0:06:43 | |
taxation system, senior Republicans
were probably hoping a new year | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
would mark a new start. Instead of
moving forward on such key issues as | 0:06:46 | 0:06:53 | |
immigration reform, the focus now is
completely on the president, his | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
personality and whether he is
mentally fit to hold office. David | 0:06:58 | 0:07:04 | |
Willis, BBC News, the White House. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
Opponents of President Assad
in Syria have accused his regime, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
with the help of Russia,
of launching a series of air attacks | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
on a suburb of the capital. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:14 | |
They say at least 17
people were killed today. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
Most of the dead were in
Eastern Ghouta, near Damascus. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
Raids on the rebel held area have
continued for several days The UN | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
The UN has condemned the impact
of the fighting on civilians. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Online casino operators are failing
to prevent money laundering | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
and protect problem gamblers,
according to the | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Gambling Commission. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
It has set out "significant
concerns" in a letter | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
to all UK operators. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:37 | |
The Commission said many of them
were failing to spot | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
signs of financial crime
and compulsive gambling. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
The department store House of Fraser
has confirmed it's asking landlords | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
to reduce the rent it pays for some
of its shops. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
The group is set to release
Christmas retail figures next week, | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
with some analysts suggesting
its takings over the Christmas | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
period were disappointing. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
Joe Lynam has more. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
It is one of the key brands
on our high streets with 59 stores | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
and more than 7000 staff. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
We don't yet know how Christmas
was for House of Fraser, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
but we know it's asked its landlords
to slash the rent. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
But do shoppers still
like the department store? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
It's got the shops I like to browse
in within the department store, | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
so it's quite easy to just go
from one place to the next. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
Yeah, there's lot of good
quality brands, and quite | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
a lot of variety as well. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
I think it has a good reputation
for good quality products. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
But I know all of the high street
has been affected at the moment | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
and isn't doing that well. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
I kind of think it's
for older people, I have | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
that opinion, but maybe
because it's more expensive. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:49 | |
Last month one credit agency said
that House of Fraser was now far | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
more likely to default on its debts,
adding to the issues | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
faced by the company. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
It's not unusual for retailers
to seek rent reductions | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
from their landlords. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
M&S and Next are doing so already. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
In fact, traditional retailers
are facing a host of challenges, | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
including rising rents,
especially in the big cities, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
the national living wage
is going up, and that's pushing up | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
costs, and of course online. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
£1 in every £6 is now
spent shopping online. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
Consumption is a vital part
of the British economy. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
If consumers tighten
their wallets, GDP suffers. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
Conditions are pretty
tough for households. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
Inflation hit a five-year high
in the run-up to Christmas and this | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
is putting people's personal
finances under a lot of pressure. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
Our research showed about 50%
of consumers said they spent less | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
this Christmas than last year,
and almost two thirds said they did | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
some of their shopping online. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
Next week we'll learn more about how
Christmas was for House of Fraser. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
If it shows that shoppers
reined in their spending, | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
then pressure will grow
on a 169-year-old brand. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:53 | |
Joe Lynam, BBC News. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:59 | |
Part of Bristol University has been
badly damaged in a fire. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
It started in the roof
space of a building | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
that was being renovated,
close to the University's historic | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Wills Memorial building,
in the centre of Bristol. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
The building was unoccupied
and nobody was hurt. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:18 | |
With news of the latest Premier
League manager to lose his job and | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
all the sport, here is Ollie Foster
at the BBC sport Centre. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |
There were 25 FA Cup
third round ties today. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
Match of the Day is later this
evening on BBC One, but coming up | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
now are a couple of the headlines
from today's ties. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
Mark Hughes has been sacked this
evening after his Stoke | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
side were knocked out
by League Two Coventry City. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Elsewhere, Norwich, Wigan
and Fleetwood forced replays | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
against Premier League opposition. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:44 | |
Adam Wild reports. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
There is nothing quite like the FA
Cup. A moment for pans to come | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
together and wonder what if? At
Fleetwood, that party was quick to | 0:10:52 | 0:10:58 | |
find its rhythm. The League 1 side
welcoming Leicester. But this was a | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
big occasion missing its guest of
honour. Jamie Vardy injured, left to | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
watch from the stands as his
Leicester team almost gifted his | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
former side and opening goal. How
both could have done with his | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
scoring ability. Fleetwood's
faithful still finding plenty to | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
shout about and they were almost
rewarded in the dying moments. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
Leicester saved by the Post, twice.
So close to being Fleetwood's day in | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
the sun. Still, in this tournament
for some fans a draw can feel like a | 0:11:28 | 0:11:35 | |
triumph. The Stoke, it felt like
anything but. The Premier League | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
side beaten by leak to Coventry. The
kind of upset for which this | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
competition is so revered, Mark
Hughes out of the Cup and now out of | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
a job. The Norwich, the third round
was a chance to welcome the mighty | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
Chelsea, Premier League champions,
last year 's finalists. In this | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
corner of East Anglia reputation
counts for much. In truth not a game | 0:11:56 | 0:12:03 | |
full of magic. No goals, few real
chances but the Norwich fans the Cup | 0:12:03 | 0:12:09 | |
dreams get to last a little longer. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
Liverpool's Phillippe Coutinho has
agreed to join Barcelona | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
for a British record
fee £142 million. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
The Brazilian, who cost less
than £10 million five years ago, | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
was close to joining the Spanish
side last summer, but the Liverpool | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
manager Jurgen Klopp says
they are now letting the 25-year-old | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
leave with "great reluctance". | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
It's now very unlikely that
England's cricketers will be able | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
to sign off from the Ashes
with a victory. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
The series is already lost,
and after three days | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
Australia are building a big first
innings lead in the final Test. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:42 | |
Patrick Gearey reports from Sydney. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:43 | |
A special day, especially
for Usman Khawaja, a first Ashes | 0:12:43 | 0:12:48 | |
hundred in a city he emigrated
to as a child. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
At the other end, nearing his
hundred, Steve Smith, | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
the uncrackable code. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
But wait, Moeen Ali's eureka moment. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
Smith left a void and young
Mason Crane fielded with an appeal. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
Review. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
First they check the no ball
and there the case closed. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
Had the umpire felt the boot
was behind the line, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
Crane would've had his first
Test wicket. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
Fine margins. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:13 | |
And fine shots from the reprieved
Khawaja, which helped him to 150 | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
and helped Australia into a lead
only three wickets down. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
England needed energy, badly. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
It came from Mason Crane. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
This time he had Khawaja for real. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
And for 171. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
But in now baking temperatures
the Marsh brothers turned | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
England into their stooges,
with every run scored | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
by Australia's batsmen only adding
to the regrets felt by England. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
A draining day in every sense. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
So England 133 runs behind,
they will have to go back | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
into the field on day four when it
will be even hotter. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
What is more they know this pitch
is now spinning more, | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
just in time for their last innings
of this Ashes Series. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
Patrick Geary, BBC News in Sydney. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
In Rugby Union, Northampton Saints'
losing streak is over. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
They beat Gloucester 22-19
at Franklin's Gardens. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
After seven league defeats in a row,
a final-minute penalty try | 0:14:01 | 0:14:06 | |
gave them their first
win since September. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
There were also wins
for Leicester and Sale. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
And in the Pro-14, Ospreys edged
