:08:31. > :08:32.the British Medical Association The two sides disagree over how best
:08:33. > :08:38.to make more health services Let's get more from our
:08:39. > :08:53.Health Correspondent, Does this mean there has been some
:08:54. > :08:58.sort of breakthrough? The truth is we don't know. These talks between
:08:59. > :09:02.government representatives and the doctors have been taking place
:09:03. > :09:08.behind closed doors. All we have been told by doctors here at the BMA
:09:09. > :09:12.is that they are hopeful. They say there is real room for progress and
:09:13. > :09:17.that the government has started to listen to them. They say that is why
:09:18. > :09:22.they have called off this strike for the 26th and 27th of January which
:09:23. > :09:26.is good news for patients but there are concerned there are still
:09:27. > :09:31.significant differences between the two sides. For the doctors, that is
:09:32. > :09:36.around safety issues like working excessively long hours and also
:09:37. > :09:41.holding onto extra pay for working late at night and on Saturdays. For
:09:42. > :09:46.the government it is about making it more affordable for more doctors to
:09:47. > :09:51.be on shift at weekends and they say that is a safety issue. And the
:09:52. > :09:56.reason why it is so important that these sides come to some agreement,
:09:57. > :10:01.is because a third strike is looming for the 10th of February which is a
:10:02. > :10:04.historic full walk-out by junior doctors when no emergency care would
:10:05. > :10:07.be covered. Too close to call and heading
:10:08. > :10:09.for another hung parliament. That's what the pollsters
:10:10. > :10:12.were telling us during last year's general election campaign -
:10:13. > :10:14.how wrong they were. Researchers sampled too many Labour
:10:15. > :10:17.supporters and not enough Tories. But did the polls affect
:10:18. > :10:20.the campaign itself and therefore Here it is, ten o'clock,
:10:21. > :10:32.and we are saying the Conservatives As Big Ben struck ten
:10:33. > :10:40.on election night last year, there was a collective
:10:41. > :10:42.gasp at the exit poll. It put the Conservatives
:10:43. > :10:46.as the biggest party So different from the dead heat
:10:47. > :10:52.predicted in the run-up to polling day, pundits and politicians
:10:53. > :10:56.were astounded. An extraordinary night, if,
:10:57. > :11:00.if that exit poll is right. If this exit poll is right, Andrew,
:11:01. > :11:03.I will publicly eat my hat During the campaign,
:11:04. > :11:07.pollsters ask people how They got it wrong because,
:11:08. > :11:12.put simply, they spoke to too many Labour voters and too
:11:13. > :11:15.few Conservatives. So can we trust
:11:16. > :11:21.pollsters in the future? Yes, we did get it wrong last time
:11:22. > :11:25.but we hope to get it We and all the other pollsters need
:11:26. > :11:29.to do a better job of contacting older people and younger people
:11:30. > :11:32.who are politically disengaged. To many people, opinion polls may
:11:33. > :11:36.not matter that much but to journalists and politicians
:11:37. > :11:39.they do, and repeated predictions of a hung parliament before the last
:11:40. > :11:42.election shaped the way parties ran their campaigns
:11:43. > :11:48.and defined the debate. The idea of Labour being in
:11:49. > :11:51.the SNP's pocket in a power-sharing deal was seized upon
:11:52. > :11:55.by the Tory campaign. Because of the focus
:11:56. > :11:59.on possible coalitions, some think polls and the media might
:12:00. > :12:03.have influenced voters. They certainly shape the election
:12:04. > :12:07.campaign in a scandalous way because the whole of that campaign,
:12:08. > :12:10.if you remember, was dominated by the likes of you speculating
:12:11. > :12:15.about a hung parliament. That is what all the
:12:16. > :12:18.officially-published opinion polls were predicting, rather
:12:19. > :12:20.than focusing on the much more probable outcome which
:12:21. > :12:23.was a Tory majority. But Labour's loss was more complex,
:12:24. > :12:26.according to its own It failed to connect with voters
:12:27. > :12:31.on issues like welfare and immigration, and didn't convince
:12:32. > :12:36.them on the economy. Actually, the policies were very
:12:37. > :12:39.popular, but people didn't know quite where they fitted,
:12:40. > :12:41.they did not have a feel for the overall picture
:12:42. > :12:43.of what a Labour government And at the end of an election,
:12:44. > :12:50.it is voters at the ballot box, not the opinion polls,
:12:51. > :13:02.which determine who gets And if Labour wants to get back into
:13:03. > :13:06.power its own report on its defeat says it needs a clear message but
:13:07. > :13:09.even this does not decide on a definitive direction and that is
:13:10. > :13:16.what the party is still wrestling with. With big votes coming up,
:13:17. > :13:20.elections on regional and London Mayor and the EU referendum,
:13:21. > :13:22.pollsters and politicians seem to still have lessons to learn about

:19:19. > :19:23.That could be because they have more friends to talk to other than like

:20:19. > :20:31.Hywel Griffith, joins me What do these latest figures show,
:20:32. > :20:36.Hywel? Well, winter brings extra pressure on the front-line of the
:20:37. > :20:41.NHS. It tends to show first here outside A where you see ambulances
:20:42. > :20:47.stacking up. Despite December having been a mild month it's clear there
:20:48. > :20:54.have been difficulties across Wales. The target every A unit aims for
:20:55. > :20:58.is 95% of patients spend less than four-hours waiting. In Wales the
:20:59. > :21:01.figure was just over 81%. It's not that Wales is the only place having
:21:02. > :21:06.problems. In England, where the measures are done slightly
:21:07. > :21:10.differently, the figure was 91% in November. Spending less than
:21:11. > :21:13.four-hours waiting. In Scotland the situation has been better. In

:25:41. > :25:44.And they knew they could never top it.
:25:45. > :25:46.When you have a record like Hotel California you join
:25:47. > :25:51.a fraternity of only a few people who understand what it's
:25:52. > :25:54.like to have a mega record and then you have to get your head around,

:26:01. > :26:05.I think Glenn was very much focused on what he wanted.

:26:34. > :26:40.Time for a look at the weather, here's Tomasz Schafernaker.
:26:41. > :26:48.Chilly isn't it? A couple more nights of frosty weather Jack Frost
:26:49. > :26:55.will be about. Then things will start to turn milder. Tonight,
:26:56. > :26:59.another hard frost on the way. Not just across Scotland or the south of
:27:00. > :27:02.the UK, really many areas will see a touch of frost and also freezing fog
:27:03. > :27:06.forming during the course of the night. We will look at that fog in a
:27:07. > :27:13.second. We will concentrate on the temperatures. This is an idea of
:27:14. > :27:16.what we will get in city centres in rural spots and outside of town it
:27:17. > :27:21.will be colder. Like last night, in the Glenns of Scotland where there
:27:22. > :27:27.is snow, temperatures down to minus 12 degrees. For the south of the
:27:28. > :27:32.country, minus six or seven degrees even in the south-west of the UK.
:27:33. > :27:36.Freezing fog first thing in the morning. During the winter time when
:27:37. > :27:42.the temperatures are sub-zero and we get the fog forming it's slow to
:27:43. > :27:45.clear. Slower than normal fog. Absolutely across the West Midlands
:27:46. > :27:51.and eastern Wales that freezing fog may linger into the afternoon. Where
:27:52. > :27:54.you see these threes and fours it could be closer to zero even in the
:27:55. > :27:59.afternoon. But it will be a crisp day for most of us, not bad at all.
:28:00. > :28:03.Another widespread frost forming during the course of Wednesday night
:28:04. > :28:08.into Thursday. More fog on the way. There is that change for Thursday.
:28:09. > :28:13.We will start to see weather fronts shifting in off the Atlantic,
:28:14. > :28:18.bringing milder air. Look at the split across the UK. Eastern areas,
:28:19. > :28:22.crisp, cold and bright. In the west we are getting milder winds from the
:28:23. > :28:26.south, cloud and rain coming in as well. By Friday it does look as
:28:27. > :28:30.though that milder air eventually will be making enrodes into more and
:28:31. > :28:37.more parts of the UK. Back to you. Thank you. That's all from the BBC's
