:02:18. > :02:21.President but never has a President-elect been so ensnared in
:02:22. > :02:27.controversy. The allegations that swirl around him and his aides are
:02:28. > :02:34.unverified. Explosive allegations, all denied by the man himself, of
:02:35. > :02:41.unusual sexual practices and financial impropriety. Leaked to a

:02:46. > :02:51.material which could compromise America's new President. From Mr

:03:19. > :03:21.trumpet campaign and the President-elect's success has been a
:03:22. > :03:28.focus of claim and counterclaim for months. The latest allegations were

:03:32. > :03:38.was once based in the Russian capital. He is described as a
:03:39. > :03:41.credible source. Donald Trump has an extensive network of links to

:04:56. > :04:59.Well our correspondent Paul Wood is in Washington.
:05:00. > :05:05.It is early morning in America but Trump has already taken to Twitter,
:05:06. > :05:08.clearly furious about the claims. Is not the first time he has attacked
:05:09. > :05:13.the CIA but we have not seen language like this from him for
:05:14. > :05:18.quite some time. Let's start with what we know. It was definitely
:05:19. > :05:21.originally compiled by a former British intelligence agent, this
:05:22. > :05:25.report, from an MI6 man. He did it for what is known as opposition
:05:26. > :05:29.research company, in Washington, DC, a company I know quite well, and
:05:30. > :05:34.have visited often. They worked first of all four Jeb Bush's
:05:35. > :05:37.SuperPACs in the Republican primaries and then for an anonymous
:05:38. > :05:42.Democratic party donor. The allegations themselves are extremely
:05:43. > :05:45.limited and out of fairness to Mr Trump and anybody under the age of
:05:46. > :05:51.18 watching I don't think we should relate them. Here is the crucial
:05:52. > :05:56.point. I was able to send a message into the CIA in November to ask
:05:57. > :05:59.about these allegations. It is illegal for any official to talk to
:06:00. > :06:03.me about them but I got a message back from an intermediary who said
:06:04. > :06:07.the allegations were regarded as credible, and more than that, there
:06:08. > :06:10.was more than a single source, not just the MI6 man. There was
:06:11. > :06:15.supposedly more than one take, not just video but audio, more Amaq more
:06:16. > :06:18.than one date and not just in Moscow but in St Petersburg as well.
:06:19. > :06:22.Obviously the Russians have blackmail material on the Russians
:06:23. > :06:26.they would hardly release it, so these are allegations, but they are
:06:27. > :06:30.allegations regarded as credible, not the same as saying accurate, but
:06:31. > :06:32.they are regarded as credible by the US intelligence community. Paul

:07:33. > :07:38.to solve the crisis of the four our weight is to fiddle the figures are
:07:39. > :07:44.so people are not seem to be waiting so long on hospital trolleys in NHS
:07:45. > :07:47.hospitals? Over the Christmas period we saw the day where more people
:07:48. > :07:52.were treated in accident and emergency within four hours than had
:07:53. > :07:57.ever happened before. Earlier this week the Prime Minister said she
:07:58. > :08:02.wanted to create a shared society. Well, we certainly have got that.
:08:03. > :08:07.More people sharing hospital corridors on trolleys. More people
:08:08. > :08:12.sharing waiting areas at A departments. More people sharing in
:08:13. > :08:17.anxiety created by this government. Our NHS, Mr Speaker, is in crisis.
:08:18. > :08:22.But the Prime Minister is in denial. The last thing the NHS needs is a
:08:23. > :08:25.check from labour that bounces. The only way we can ensure we have
:08:26. > :08:29.funding for the National health Service is a strong economy
:08:30. > :08:33.yesterday the Right Honourable gentleman proved he is not only
:08:34. > :08:39.incompetent but he would destroy our economy and that would devastate our
:08:40. > :08:44.National Health Service. It is only a heartbeat away for the politicians
:08:45. > :08:47.at Westminster is the NHS is never far from their thoughts. The
:08:48. > :08:51.government say they have met the pressures of the NHS by increasing
:08:52. > :08:54.funding and bringing about improvements. The opposition parties
:08:55. > :09:00.don't think that is good enough. But what would they do if they had the
:09:01. > :09:05.power? The Lib Dems have set up an expert panel to look particularly at
:09:06. > :09:08.the idea of a dedicated health and care tax and set alongside that an
:09:09. > :09:14.independent assessment of how much money the health and care system
:09:15. > :09:18.needs. In the medium term we would argue bringing forward 700 million
:09:19. > :09:24.for social care which is allocated for 2019, let's not wait until 2019.
:09:25. > :09:29.?700 million is just a down payment, not enough. White correct, we need
:09:30. > :09:33.to look at this across the board for the long-term. Labour now feel the
:09:34. > :09:36.government is vulnerable on the NHS, but the Conservatives will continue
:09:37. > :09:40.to argue that only they can provide a robust economy that will pay for
:09:41. > :09:43.it. Iain Watson, BBC News, Westminster.
:09:44. > :09:47.Norman Smith is in Westminster for us now. How much pressure is the
:09:48. > :09:50.Prime Minister really under over this?
:09:51. > :09:55.Sophie, I think the Prime Minister was on the defensive, on the back
:09:56. > :09:58.foot now over the NHS. Yes, she acknowledged there were precious but
:09:59. > :10:04.she put that down to long-term pressures over an ageing population,
:10:05. > :10:07.increasingly complex patient demands, traditional winter

:10:23. > :10:25.small number of incidents were unacceptable practices have taken
:10:26. > :10:28.place. There is a view at Westminster that Theresa May just
:10:29. > :10:34.doesn't quite get the NHS as a political issue. The intensity of
:10:35. > :10:39.the argument about it, the emotions around it, the vulnerability of the
:10:40. > :10:43.Tory party on this issue, not in the same way as her predecessor David
:10:44. > :10:47.Cameron. There is also a view that she thinks more money, billions
:10:48. > :10:50.more, has been given to the NHS while other departments are being
:10:51. > :10:54.cut and yet still they can't manage. Why should they get even more? And
:10:55. > :10:59.lastly there is Brexit. This place has been dominated for months by
:11:00. > :11:03.Brexit and now the NHS has sort of broken to the surface like a great
:11:04. > :11:10.big iceberg and I wonder whether it has caught the Government off-guard.
:11:11. > :11:14.The danger, though, for Mrs May, is however passionate people feel about
:11:15. > :11:19.Brexit they probably feel as, if not even more passionate, about the

:11:32. > :11:39.Outside hospitals heaving ambulances are a visual testament, says the
:11:40. > :11:44.Royal College of Physicians, to the crisis facing the NHS. With the New
:11:45. > :11:48.Year at some hospitals have faced unprecedented pressure with 20% more
:11:49. > :11:54.patients than this time last year. Another trauma coming in now. A BBC
:11:55. > :11:59.documentary gained access to one of Britain's busiest hospitals, St
:12:00. > :12:03.Mary's in Paddington, as it struggled to meet overwhelming
:12:04. > :12:07.demand. Accident and emergency departments have borne the brunt of
:12:08. > :12:14.the increasing need for care. What about trauma beds? Two. As patients
:12:15. > :12:16.continue to arrive a shortage of social care has made it hard to
:12:17. > :12:22.discharge those who have recovered. The minute that we have had
:12:23. > :12:28.problems, usually due to patients not being able to leave the hospital
:12:29. > :12:31.at the other end we end up in this state -- bed problems. There is no
:12:32. > :12:37.cubicle anywhere in A Patients are worth dumber waiting longer in
:12:38. > :12:41.queues or corridors for treatment. It is easier to say what we have got
:12:42. > :12:46.which is nothing at the moment. It means hard decisions about who to
:12:47. > :12:49.treat. This case has trumped the patient with cancer that was going
:12:50. > :12:59.to get done in the other theatre, because she's got a condition which
:13:00. > :13:05.will kill her some time in the next three, four, five, six hours. So if
:13:06. > :13:10.we don't do it now then there is going to be no five hours' time for
:13:11. > :13:13.them. Specialist doctors blamed a shortage of qualified staff, saying
:13:14. > :13:17.they are stretched too thin lead to meet the challenge they face.
:13:18. > :13:21.Our members fear that people's lives are at risk because they can't get
:13:22. > :13:25.around to see the patients that aren't yet in the emergency
:13:26. > :13:29.department, or indeed waiting for results to come back. Members and
:13:30. > :13:32.fellows have been writing in and our council members specifically have
:13:33. > :13:36.said to me this is the worst they have ever seen. The Department of
:13:37. > :13:39.Health said it had invested ?10 billion to develop health services
:13:40. > :13:44.and relieve pressure on hospitals. And since last year had recruited
:13:45. > :13:50.3000 extra nurses and 1600 more doctors. But will it meet increasing
:13:51. > :13:55.demand? Doctors and experts in social care say the time has come to
:13:56. > :14:00.rethink the long-term future of the NHS. Robert Piggott, BBC News.
:14:01. > :14:02.Well, with me is our health editor Hugh Pym.
:14:03. > :14:05.The NHS is always under pressure at this time of year -
:14:06. > :14:07.but how much more serious is the situation now?
:14:08. > :14:13.Well, yes, at this time of year there is always particular pressure
:14:14. > :14:17.straight after the holiday season. People going to hospital, maybe
:14:18. > :14:21.having held back. What seems to be different this time is the sheer
:14:22. > :14:25.volume. It was busy enough last year, hospitals were really
:14:26. > :14:29.stretched. The volume increase, 20% at one hospital more patients coming
:14:30. > :14:33.through the door, and figures leaked to the BBC yesterday of the numbers
:14:34. > :14:36.who had to wait unacceptably long periods, 12 hours on a trolley
:14:37. > :14:44.before they could get a bed, reveal a really big increase there as well.
:14:45. > :14:46.So it isn't a massive pressure. And for the Royal College of Physicians
:14:47. > :14:49.and other leading health and social care leaders, to say this was
:14:50. > :14:53.unacceptable and lives were at risk as we heard in Robert's peas, shows
:14:54. > :14:57.how seriously the medical profession is taking it. Theresa May and the
:14:58. > :15:01.Government acknowledges this and she did in the House of Commons but
:15:02. > :15:04.there does not seem to be a change in policy. They say they have put
:15:05. > :15:09.more money in, they have put more into social care, but how long that
:15:10. > :15:12.is sustainable is anyone's guess. We are in early January, in this
:15:13. > :15:17.situation winter doesn't simply end in the middle of January, they could
:15:18. > :15:20.be two more months of pressure, a cold snap adding to the volume of
:15:21. > :15:23.people going to hospital, there could be a nasty outbreak of flu.
:15:24. > :15:27.All of these things could come along and push the whole thing even closer
:15:28. > :15:31.to a quite dangerous situation. That is the challenge for the government.

:31:11. > :31:14.we've been watching forecasts with snow, there is some snow on the way.
:31:15. > :31:21.It is going to be tricky to forecast it. But the low pressure is what has
:31:22. > :31:26.been the story today across the North, blowing a gale. It has been
:31:27. > :31:31.nasty across the north-east of England and into Scotland. The wind
:31:32. > :31:38.starting to ease a little now but still blustery. And wintry showers
:31:39. > :31:44.across the North. This evening it is fairly quiet, some icy patches
:31:45. > :31:49.across northern areas. Cold air coming in from the Arctic. But we
:31:50. > :31:54.are watching areas to the South West and what is happening, this is
:31:55. > :31:58.complicated. You have mild error on the one hand coming from the South
:31:59. > :32:03.and colder air from the north. You get that clash and then you get this
:32:04. > :32:12.boundary, narrow boundary where rain and snow start to mix. So zooming in
:32:13. > :32:15.a bit, we also have a weather front coming in and initially it begins as
:32:16. > :32:19.rain with milder error to the south coming from the Atlantic. As the
:32:20. > :32:27.rain moves towards the east and the North it starts to mix in with that
:32:28. > :32:32.colder air coming from the North through the Midlands and into the
:32:33. > :32:39.south-east. It is difficult, if it snows over the hills we could be
:32:40. > :32:45.talking about five centimetres or maybe more. It could even settle
:32:46. > :32:49.across London in part. In the North it is different, straightforward
:32:50. > :32:55.north-westerly wind bringing in the showers. So to areas of snow, this
:32:56. > :33:00.awkward mix of rain, sleet and snow across the South which is a
:33:01. > :33:05.nightmare for forecasters. It is a mix of weather on the way. But the
:33:06. > :33:10.point is Thursday night into Friday, in the South and north, it could be
:33:11. > :33:14.nasty with icy stretches and also on Friday we have another weather
:33:15. > :33:22.system coming in from the north sliding along the east. These are a
:33:23. > :33:26.potential storm surge, so waves could overtop some of those sea
:33:27. > :33:29.defences and on top of but we also have wintry weather. So a real mix
:33:30. > :33:31.of weather on the way. Beautifully explained!
