The Health Secretary says sorry

to NHS patients who've

had their operations delayed

because of winter pressures.

I want to apologise for the fact

that we have had, regrettably,

to postpone a number of operations.

Theresa May rejects claims

that the health service

is in crisis, but admits the delays

are frustrating for patients.

We'll be looking at the impact

on patients and asking what it tells

us about the pressures on the NHS.

Also this lunchtime...

Storm Eleanor has been battering

large part of the UK, leaving

thousands of homes without power.

Winds reached 100 miles an hour,

bringing down trees and power lines

and causing flooding

and travel disruption.

All of a sudden, the sky just

lit up and these power

lines touched each other,

and it was just like Guy Fawkes.

It was sparks, it was unbelievable.

President Trump starts the New Year

with a string of Twitter messages -

boasting to the North Korean leader

about the size of his

"nuclear button".

Sweet news for the music industry,

the number of streams,

downloads and sales in the UK last

year rose at its fastest rate

for nearly 20 years.

And coming up in the sport on BBC

News, reports in Spain suggest

Barcelona will bid imminently

for Philippe Coutinho.

Liverpool turned down three

offers for their Brazilian

forward in the summer,

although as yet they

haven't had any new bids.

Good afternoon and welcome

to the BBC News at One.

The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has

apologised to patients affected

by a decision to postpone tens

of thousands of operations

in England until next month.

Theresa May acknowledged

the decision is frustrating

for people, but said the NHS

is better prepared this

year than ever before.

But senior doctors say pressure

has escalated rapidly

over the festive period.

Our health correspondent

Catherine Burns has the details.

Anna is waiting for an operation

that is going to change her life.

Her facial nerve was removed when

she had cancer seven years ago. She

is due to have an appointment to

plan facial reconstruction surgery

next week, but is expected to be

cancelled.

I was hoping I would have

the surgery maybe at the end of

January beginning of February, but I

have a feeling it will be knocked

back to April or May.

She's due to

have the surgery at Queens medical

Centre in Nottingham, but it is on

high alert and is asking people to

stay away from A&E. Several other

hospitals around the country have

similar stories and now the British

Medical Association is calling this

winter crisis. A warning from the

Royal College of emergency medicine

that this is absolutely affecting

patient safety. And so NHS England

has taken action. Before Christmas,

it had already told hospitals they

could cancel all nonurgent

operations and outpatient

appointments for the first two weeks

of the new Year. Now it has extended

that until the end of the month.

With respect to patients, I want to

apologise for the fact that we have

had, regrettably, to postpone a

number of operations.

We are trying to do it

differently this year.

Last year, we cancelled a lot

of operations at the

very last minute, so people got

a call the day before to say their

operation wasn't going ahead.

That is obviously very

undesirable, so we

wanted to do it in a much

more planned way.

But our hope is that the total

number of cancelled

operations will be significantly

higher this year than last year.

During this time, hospitals will not

be penalised if they put patients on

mixed six wards. It operations for

cancer and other times and stiff

conditions will still go ahead.

We

know the system is going to get

difficult. Rather than cancelling

patients at the very last minute and

having patients queueing, we want to

free up the bed capacity that would

normally be used for those planned

care patients and make that

available for our sick patients that

are in the A&E departments.

She does

feel frustrated, but thinks things

could be worse.

I am not really in

much pain, and I can carry on with

life quite well. But I do feel very

sorry for people that are waiting

for hip operations or knee joints,

because they are dealing with quite

a lot of pain.

Authorities in

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

say they are facing higher demand

from patients as well. Here we are,

three days into the New Year, with

questions about what could happen if

the weather got colder or the

increase in flu cases becomes an

outbreak. Catherine Burns, BBC News.

Hugh Pym is here. You have just been

speaking to the Health Secretary.

The Prime Minister has spoken this

morning. What does this tell us

about the government's approach to

this?

It is interesting that the

Transport Secretary was abroad

during the rail fare increase

situation yesterday, wide criticism

of that. Here we have the Health

Secretary Andy Prime Minister coming

out to talk about the state of the

NHS after these very widespread

reports of extreme pressure, doctors

tweeting and talking about hospitals

being in Third World conditions and

overcrowding. I think they felt they

had to take this head on. The Health

Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has

apologised to patients. Theresa May

has said it is disappointing and

frustrating for patients. They are

making this point, as we heard in

Catherine's piece, that it is best

to announce this sort of thing now,

through NHS England, to take

anything that is not urgent out of

the equation so that senior doctors

can be used to help with emergency

care and assessing patients, to get

that right for January, rather than

to stumble on and somehow end up in

a situation where you end up with a

lot of last-minute, very frustrating

cancellations anyway. I think the

problem is that they have played

that card now. What if things do get

worse? They have said that the

reason that they made the

announcement yesterday, NHS England,

is that they have seen an increase

in flu cases, there are fears of a

major outbreak. What if things get

worse? What do they do next? I think

it does illustrate the level of

concern, at a very high level, that

things could yet get worse across

hospitals before they get better.

Labour are making the point that it

shows how out of touch the

Government is, they are saying they

are frustrated and disappointed when

it is them, Labour says, that has

not funded the NHS or social care

adequately, and they say there is a

lot of explaining that needs to

come.

Storm Eleanor has swept

across the UK, causing

flooding, damage to homes,

and disruption to motorists.

Gusts of up to 100 miles per hour

were reported in the Pennines,

and thousands of homes

are without power across

Northern Ireland, Wales,

the Midlands and South West England.

Several major bridges have been

closed because of high winds,

and there are numerous reports

of fallen trees blocking roads.

Dan Johnson reports.

It was a wild, wet and noisy night

in the name of Storm Eleanor.

In the Channel Islands,

Jersey's seafront

took a pounding under strong

winds and surging tides.

Ireland felt the

storm's force first.

This is Galway, on the west

coast, where high seas

meant flooding.

Eleanor also took power

from thousands of homes.

The storm then swirled

across the UK.

Huge waves in Anglesey.

Hailstones in Blackpool.

And here's what people

were dealing with this morning.

Trees down, bits of buildings

crashed through cars, some vehicles

off the road altogether.

Today has been really

hazardous on the roads.

We had a record number of call-outs

earlier this morning, from cars

being damaged from debris falling

from trees, branches etc.

Other the cars just

wouldn't start because of

all the rain, with wet

engines, flat batteries.

In terms of breakdowns,

it's been busy, but also in terms of

driving conditions.

Many roads have been closed

or blocked with fallen branches.

Aberystwyth was one of many places

clearing up this morning. So was

Belfast, where falling trees caused

all sorts of problems.

All of a

sudden, the sky lit up, the power

lines touch each other and it was

just like Guy Fawkes. Sparks, it was

unbelievable.

Teams are still

working to reconnect some

electricity supplies. Disruption

continues on railways and roads. At

the worst has now passed.

It is an

improving picture as we go through

the day. Storm Eleanor is sitting in

the North Sea. We currently have

strong gusty winds, 50 or 60 mph. As

we go through the afternoon, the

wind will ease up and we will see

some sunny spells.

Import --

In Cornwall, part of Portreath's

harbour wall was taken

by the sea.

Buildings were also damaged

and it wasn't quite clear

what belonged were.

across large parts of the country,

there are severe weather warnings

still in place across the rest of

the afternoon.

Our Ireland correspondent

Chris Page is in Belfast.

Belfast is one of the areas

affected. There is a clear up going

on behind you. How is that going?

Yes, a lot of hard work being

carried out by those whose job it is

to return Northern Ireland to normal

after a bruising night. In this

residential area of south Belfast,

they have spent the morning cutting

up a tree that had been lying across

the road. As you can see, they have

blocked the road and that has

allowed specialist vehicles run by

engineers from the Northern Ireland

electricity networks to move up.

They are unloading poles to replace

the ones that were brought down

during the storm and then they can

work on bringing back the power

lines which were brought down by

strong wind. There was also pretty

bad damage to somebody's garden

fence. Pretty clear there was a risk

to life last night when Storm

Eleanor barrelled through Northern

Ireland. Mainly Southern counties

were affected, County Down, County

Armagh and county fair manner. The

strongest gust was on the south

coast on a 90 mph. Most people

heeded the official advice to stay

indoors and they did not make any

unnecessary journeys. Also the fact

that the worst of the storm passed

through during the night meant there

were not too many people out and

about. Thankfully there were not any

injuries as a result. As you can

see, still pretty pleasant. Still

wet and windy and that is going to

continue through the afternoon. The

worst of Storm Eleanor has passed.

Thank you.

President Trump has said

that his nuclear button is "much

bigger and more powerful"

than that of the

North Korean leader.

His comments, on Twitter,

were the latest in an increasingly

personal feud with Kim Jong-Un.

They came as South Korea said

the North had restored a hotline

between the two governments,

after a silence of nearly two years.

Our correspondent in Seoul,

Sophie Long reports.

This morning, in a broadcast

on its state-run television,

North Korea announced it

would reopen an

inter-Korean hotline.

TRANSLATION:

By upholding

a decision by the leadership,

we will make close contact

with South Korea in a sincere

and faithful manner.

We will discuss working-level issues

related to the dispatch

of the Winter Olympics delegation.

Just after 3:30 Seoul time,

the South Korean government

announced that it had received

a telephone call from the north,

the first direct form

of communication between the two

countries for nearly two years.

It's hoped this could pave the way

for high-level talks proposed

by the South on Tuesday.

If they go ahead, the two sides

are expected to discuss

the possibility of Pyongyang sending

a delegation to the Winter Olympics,

due to get under way

in South Korea next month.

The South Korean President,

Moon Jae-in, has said

the PyeongChang? games could mark

a turning point and relieve tensions

on the Korean peninsula,

which are at their highest

point in decades.

Kim Jong-un announced he was open

to dialogue with South Korea

in his New Year speech,

which also had a defiant message

for the United States.

He said he had nuclear weapons

and a button on his desk.

Today, the US President

gave his response to that.

"Will someone from his depleted

and food starved regime",

President Trump tweeted,

"please inform him that I too

have a nuclear button,

but it is a much bigger and more

powerful one and my button works!"

And there was scepticism

about the moves towards dialogue

between the two Koreas from the US

State Department.

We are very sceptical

of Kim Jong-un's sincerity

in sitting down and having talks.

Our policy hasn't changed.

The South Korean's

policy has not changed.

But a key communication line is now

open, so talks about higher-level

talks could now take place.

Sophie Long, BBC News, Seoul.

Six people have been arrested

on suspicion of being members

of the banned far-right

group National Action.

They're being detained

at addresses around the country.

Our home affairs correspondent

June Kelly is here.

Tell us more about this?

These

arrests were said to be preplanned

and intelligence led, and involved

counterterrorism detectives from

around the country. Five men in 20s

have been detained at various

addresses, in Cambridge, Banbury,

Wolverhampton, Leicester in

Stockport, and a woman of 37 was

also arrested in Banbury. They are

being held on suspicion of two

offences, first of all the

commission, preparation and

instigation of acts of terrorism,

and also, secondly, suspicion of

being members of the far right group

National Action. National Action was

banned by the Home Secretary in 2016

and was denounced as racist,

homophobic and anti-Semitic. The ban

came six months after the murder of

the Labour MP Jo Cox. Members of

National Action have actually

applauded her killing. Since the

ban, we have had a number of arrests

and some people have been charged.

This morning, we have six more

people detained. They are being held

at a police station in the West

Midlands.

OK, thank you.

The United States says it plans

to call an emergency session

of the UN Security Council

to discuss the ongoing

unrest in Iran.

22 people have died in six days

of anti-government demonstrations,

which were initially

in response to price rises and

accusations of corruption.

Tens of thousands of people

are taking part in pro-government

demonstrations today,

after the government said it

would organise counter-rallies.

Richard Lister reports.

After a week of anti-government

protests, the regime responded today

with rallies of its own.

State television

showed these marches

taking place in cities

around the country.

Some reports though

suggest government workers

were ordered to take part.

By contrast, the demonstrations

of discontent across Iran appear

to have been spontaneous.

Triggered by high food

prices and unemployment,

they have become a defiant challenge

to Iran's all-powerful clerics.

And while these outbursts have

been relatively small,

they have been widespread.

This map using data from opponents

of the regime, shows protests

in almost every province including

rural conservative areas once firmly

behind the leadership.

And Iran's leaders don't

have a unified response.

The supreme leader

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,

blamed outside forces.

The government today

was more conciliatory.

The law and the government recognise

the protests as the rights

of citizens to send their messages

to the authorities and make

their voices heard.

But this needs to be done

within the framework of the law.

What the regime wants

to avoid is this.

In 2009 a disputed

presidential election brought

millions onto the streets.

Leading to a violent

crackdown by the authorities.

Washington is now shining

a spotlight on Iran and calling

an emergency session of the UN

Security Council.

The people of Iran are

crying out for freedom.

All freedom-loving people must

stand with their cause.

The international community made

the mistake of failing

to do that in 2009.

We must not make that mistake again.

This was Tehran last night.

More than 20 protesters have

died in the past week.

Hundreds more have been arrested.

This simmering rage could evaporate,

or it could boil over.

Richard Lister, BBC News.

Our top story this lunchtime.

The Health Secretary says sorry

And coming up - one last chance -

England look to redeem their Ashes

scorecard in the final test Down

Under.

Coming up in sport.

West Ham are investigating

a confrontation between

West Brom's Jake Livermore and home

fans during at London Stadium.

The midfielder was involved

in a heated exchange

after being substituted.

A chef has received death threats

after boasting online that she'd

"spiked" a dish for a vegan customer

at her restaurant.

Laura Goodman has since apologised

and offered to resign,

and the restaurant has denied that

meat was included in the food.

But Trading Standards officials have

begun an investigation.

Giles Latcham reports.

Police at Carlini's in Albrighton

in Shropshire responding

to death threats made online

against Laura Goodman,

co-owner and head chef.

In the early hours of Sunday

she posted in a closed Facebook

group that she had just,

"spiked a vegan".

And that a "pious and judgmental

vegan I'd spent all day cooking

for has just gone to bed

still believing she's a vegan.".

There has been a storm online.

Her fiance and business partner

is doing his best to quell it.

We have got the possibility

of demonstrations outside

the restaurants, we've

had death threats.

You know, all I can say is to those

people who are active

vegans and vegetarians,

is listen to our side of the story.

Nothing happened here.

Nobody had anything with meat in it.

They say the "spiked" comments

relate to one of the vegan diners

ordering a pizza with cheese on it.

Which Laura duly prepared.

But the comments online include,

"your behaviour as a chef

towards vegans is sickening.".

"Disgusting behaviour

on the part of your chef...

Possibly illegal.".

"What if that vegan was allergic

to animal products?

This is fraud.".

I spoke briefly to Laura Goodman

and she looked pale and exhausted.

She said she was deeply sorry

for the comments she posted, deeply

distressed by the response to them.

Too distressed, she said,

to appear on camera.

A committed vegan from Telford says

it's a question of trust.

Your initial thought is,

oh my goodness, am I ever

going to be able to trust

a restaurant again?

But also it makes you worry

for other people who might have gone

there who might have had

an allergy or whatever.

And you know, may well then

suffer from some kind

of symptom as a result of,

you know, not being given

what they thought they were having.

Food standards officials have

begun an investigation.

A new dish at Carlini's, humble pie.

Sales at the fashion chain Next went

up unexpectedly over

the Christmas period,

with a particularly strong

performance online.

Sales were up 1.5% -

much better than the 0.3%

fall it had expected.

Our Business Editor

Simon Jack is here.

This has taken analysts by surprise.

And the company, they told us sales

would go down but they had gone up.

People are looking for the first

indications about the winners in

Christmas and you look at the

figures, a strong light, online

performance offsetting a fall in

in-store sales. So the most

interesting comments were about

inflation. The boss of Next said

inflation of his clothing will go

from 3% to 0% in the second half of

the year. For most of last year

prices have been going up faster

than wages so you have had a big

income squeezed. This is not food

but some hint that that could turn

around and we will all start feeling

a bit better off in the second part

of this year. That is good for all

consumers and very good for

retailers as well.

Thank you.

A homeless man who was hailed

a "hero" for helping

some of the injured

at the Manchester Arena bombing,

has pleaded guilty to stealing

a purse and a mobile phone

from victims of the attack.

Chris Parker appeared

at Manchester Crown Court earlier -

our correspondent Clare Fallon

is there.

What happened in court? After that

bomb attack at Manchester Arena in

May of last year Chris Parker was

described as being a homeless hero.

I interviewed him on the night of

the explosion and he described to me

how he had run into the Fourier web

explosion has happened and try to

help some of the most seriously

injured. But today at Corti pleaded

guilty to stealing from some of the

victims. He took a mobile phone from

a 14-year-old girl who was seriously

injured and also took a purse from a

woman whose granddaughter was one of

the 22 who were killed in the terror

attacks at up to date his lawyer

said he could only apologise for his

appalling actions. He will be

sentenced later this month.

A man is due in court charged

with the murder of a 22-year-old

woman in a park in north London on

Christmas Eve.

Kasim Lewis - who's 31 -

is accused of killing Iuliana Tudos.

She was found dead not far

from her home in Finsbury

Park on December 27th.

At least 48 people have been been

The Queen will share memories

of her Coronation when she makes

a rare appearance in a TV

documentary, to be broadcast

by the BBC on January 14th.

The programme tells the story

of the Crown Jewels,

and the symbolic part they played

in the ceremony.

Our Royal Correspondent

Jonny Dymond is here.

Tell us more about what is in the

documentary. The big focus is going

to be Saint Edward 's crown, the

Crown used at the coronation and

only for that. The grant we are most

used to seeing is the imperial State

Crown used at the State Opening of

Parliament and when the Queen leaves

the Coronation. But Saint Edward 's

crown, made of solid gold, and there

you see the Queen commenting that

she has been to the Coronation of

her father in 1937 and her own

Coronation and she herself says

this, pretty remarkable. So

something of a trip down memory lane

for the Queen and seeing some of

these jewels for the first time in a

very long time. Most of the time

they are at Windsor or the Tower of

London. But here she is going to see

them again.

Many thanks.

Last year was a record year

for music consumption in Britain.

Figures from the BPI,

which represents the music industry,

suggest the amount of music

streamed, downloaded, or bought

in the UK rose at its fastest rate

for nearly 20 years.

Home grown artists such

as Ed Sheeran and Little Mix

accounted for eight out of ten

of 2017's best selling albums.

Nina Warhurst has been looking

at the sales trends.

# I have no time...

2018 is set to be big

for Francis Long.

# Give it back...

Releasing his first album

on Manchester's buzzing music scene.

Because of the internet,

he doesn't need the backing

of a big label to be heard.

# Give it back...

If I finish a record,

I've got the power to put it online

immediately and everybody

that is waiting for it can hear it.

Whereas before, before the dawn

of the internet you could say,

I would have to wait for someone

to give me permission,

wait for somebody to tell me

that it is good enough for other

people to hear.

Last year we streamed more music

than ever, 68 billion songs.

The equivalent of more

than a thousand each.

Father Christmas brought

it, and that is...

Perhaps more surprising

is how the tables have

turned with vinyl records.

Some who had flirted with digital

returned to their first love.

Just the beauty of having the record

in your hand, I think.

And looking after it, making sure it

doesn't get scratched.

So you like physically holding it?

Physically holding it, looking

at the artwork on the covers,

maybe reading the song lyrics

as you are listening.

Vinyl sales were up an astonishing

26% on the year before

with 4 million records sold.

And the shape of the British

music industry was helped

by one Ed Sheeran.

For the 13th year in

a row, the number one

artist was home-grown.

Today's news is encouraging

for studios like this one

in Manchester, which is home

to a small record label.

But there's still what

is termed a value gap.

That is a disparity

between the amount of music

that is being listened to,

and the amount of money that

that is generating for the industry.

The consumption of music on video

streaming platforms such as YouTube,

who currently can hide behind these

safe harbours in European law.

Which means they do not have

to pay the same amount

as even Spotify or Apple,

Deezer or any of those.

And that is a significant amount

of revenue that is not getting

through to artists or songwriters

or labels and publishers.

So artists like Francis Long wont be

singing from the rooftops just yet.

But our willingness to spend more

on music as times get tighter does

give the industry a little something

to dance about.

News, in Manchester.

Spinner Mason Crane will make his

England Test debut in the 5th

and final Ashes Test in Sydney.

He's in for Chris Woakes, who will

miss the match through injury.

England lost the first three Tests

to surrender the Ashes,

and drew the fourth.

Patrick Gearey reports from Sydney.

There is a bit of Sydney Harbour

side that's forever Teesside.

The Harbour Bridge engineered

by Dorman Long and Company

in Middlesbrough using steel

largely from England.

Built by the English,

made great by Australia.

As the locals would have

it, much like cricket.

Well, England arrive

here in slightly steadier shape

than they might have been.

Still no victory, but

no whitewash either.

And a real hope that here in Sydney,

the gap between these sides

might be bridgeable.

The draw in Melbourne

showed England could be

competitive and avoid defeat,

but they still haven't taken 20

Aussie wickets in a match.

To that end, change is in the air.

With Chris Woakes injured,

a test debut for Mason Crane,

a leg-spinner who played

here for New South Wales

and his middle name is Sydney.

Maybe he is made for this place.

The way he has conducted himself

throughout this whole trip

and since he has been involved

in our squads, he has

been outstanding.

For a young man to apply

himself and absorb himself

in the environment as he has,

is exactly what you're after.

It's a really good chance

for him to show everyone

what he's capable of.

But I think on this surface he's

going to be a really good option.

Australia's dilemma

was whether to put pressure

on the recovering heel

of Mitchell Starc,

the series' top wicket taker.

They have decided to play him,

and if you were questioning their

motivation, they will still run this

before every session

of the test play.

Beat England...

This still matters.

Every opportunity we get to play

on this ground, it is special.

And it is another Ashes Test

match and the guys need

no more motivation.

It is a great opportunity to try

and win this Test match

and win the series 4-

nil.

Ashes series take a long

time coming around.

England must wait two years to try

and reclaim the urn and four years

for another chance over here.

But the aim now is to turn the wheel

just a little in their direction.

Patrick Geary, BBC News, in Sydney.

Now more about the havoc wreaked by

storm Eleanor.

storm Eleanor.

Here is Louise Lear.

Gusts of wind is in excess of 100

miles an hour but generally speaking

up to 75, 80 miles an hour quite

widely.

Still quite windy out there at the

moment. These are the gusts in the

last half an hour. But it will ease

as we go through the afternoon. Now

storm Eleanor is sitting in the

North Sea and is left behind a trail

of shower clout and blustery wind.

Some of the shower is heavy with Sam

Hill and thunder. Across central and

southern parts of England and Wales

it is an improving story through the

day. Some showers through the north

and west, some of these giving

longer spells of rain but a

beautiful day in the far north of

Scotland. With the Sunshine further

south, ten or 11 degrees to end the

day. Going through the night the

showers in the North West begin to

fade away. Looking down to the

south-west, low pressure bringing in

some wet and weather and some gales

on coast. A pretty unsettled start

the day. A different story again

further north, cold and frosty with

some possible icy stretches on the

roads. But for much of England and

Wales are pretty dismal early

morning rush hour with some quite

persistent rain. It stays quite

persistent across North Wales and

through northern England. Then

heading over into the Isle of Man

and Northern Ireland, some sleet or

wet snow possible across the higher

ground. A cold and frosty start

across the far north-east. An

improving picture to England and

Wales with some sunny spells. The

weather front grinds to a halt but

again some wet snow to the higher

ground. It is going to be a cold day

on Friday. Friday we have showers

and longer spells of rain across the

country and temperatures between

four and 9 degrees. The wind now

coming from the North across the far

north of Scotland and is colder air

will be the story as we head towards

the weekend. Descending right across

the country into the weekend. So

colder, crisper with early-morning

frost but drier and brighter and

fingers crossed a little more

sunshine.

A reminder of our main

story this lunchtime.

The Health Secretary says sorry

to NHS patients in England who've
