The NHS struggling to cope - a major alert in half of all trusts | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
in England in the first week of the year. | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
That means no more beds were available and all routine | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
There have been moments in the last two weeks, | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
like the whole country has had, where actually it has | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
been quite frightening for members of staff, | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
for the nurses, the doctors, for the ambulance crews | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
And eight trusts issued the highest alert, meaning patient | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Thousands of people are evacuated on the east coast of England | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
The Labour MP Tristram Hunt resigns, triggering a potentially difficult | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Twitter storm - Donald Trump blames US intelligence again for releasing | :00:47. | :00:51. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:07. | :01:34. | |
There's been further confirmation of the difficulties within the NHS, | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
as it's emerged nearly half of all hospitals in England | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
declared a major alert in the first week of the year. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
That means they had no more beds available, | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
all routine surgery was cancelled and doctors were | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
Four out of ten trusts were forced to raise the alarm, as hospitals | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
and Accident Emergency departments struggled to cope. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
NHS England says eight of the trusts overall issued | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
the highest level of alert, meaning patients' safety | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
How do you feel now? Is still sore but better. Another day, another A | :02:04. | :02:22. | |
patient. A fractured wrist is dealt with. Patients are waiting and NHS | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
staff doing the best they can under pressure. The story at Northwick | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Park Hospital in London is the same as across the service. Things are | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
quiet today but they know bad weather could bring a surge in | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
patients this weekend. This consultant told me it was the | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
busiest she had known in 16 years. There have been moments in the last | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
two weeks like the whole country has had where it has been frightening | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
for members of staff, for doctors, nurses, ambulance crews bringing | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
patients in, and there have been moments where it has been very | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
sticky. But we have managed as best as we can and everybody has worked | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
incredibly hard. Today's figures show that last week 43% of hospitals | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
declared a major alert which means help is required to handle patient | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
numbers or safety is at risk. 16% faced this serious pressure every | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
day last week. We have acknowledged that the NHS is under pressure. We | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
always see increased pressure over winter periods. That is why in | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
preparing for winter ?400 million was put in to ensure winter | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
preparing must. In Northern Ireland, nearly four in ten patients waited | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
more than four hours in A over the Christmas period. In Wales, one in | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
five patients were waiting longer than four hours. Scotland was | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
performing better than that and England in the holiday week but at | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
this Glasgow hospital pregnant women were turned away yesterday and sent | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
other maternity units because of a high level of general admissions. | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
Management said safety was maintained at all times. This is the | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
sort of thing you will find in most hospitals each day, ambulance crews | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
queueing in a corridor with patience, waiting to hand them over. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
They are safe, but there is no room in the Accident Emergency unit for | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
them to be treated or assessed. The hospitals praised the hard work of | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
staff under pressure but they know a prolonged cold snap or a flu | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
outbreak could make life even tougher on the front line. Hugh Pym, | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
BBC News. Thousands of people living | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
on the east coast of England are being evacuated after the threat | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
of severe flooding caused by high Preparations have been underway | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
since yesterday, with the Army helping police forces | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
and volunteers. This is the latest picture tonight | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
issued by the Environment Agency, with those living in Norfolk, | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
Suffolk and Essex most under threat. The red triangles down | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
the coast here, 17 of them, denote severe flood warnings, | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
which mean there is danger to life. And where you can see a black house | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
inside the triangles, those are 90 flood warnings that | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
require people in the area Sophie Long is in | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
Great Yarmouth tonight. Well, Fiona, it is raining and | :05:02. | :05:22. | |
windy. People are still coming to fill sandbags. It is just over three | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
hours until high water in Great Yarmouth, and that is the crucial | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
moment. That is when the high tides will combine with high wind, | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
creating the conditions that could cause severe flooding. It is the | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
moment people up and down the east Coast have spent the day preparing | :05:41. | :05:41. | |
for. From early this morning people | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
in Great Yarmouth braved the cold and snow to prepare for worse, | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
potentially life-threatening, There are some centres | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
on there you can go to. Emergency services knocked | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
on thousands of doors urging people to leave their homes, | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
stay with friends and family or head A little bit worried but this | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
happened a couple of years ago and we got evacuated and it was OK, | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
thankfully, because they Fingers crossed, the Environment | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
Agency have done a good job and build the defences well enough | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
to protect us, but who knows? We live over the road and we do get | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
flooded quite a bit. As long as we've got | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
the sandbags for now, we've moved everything upstairs | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
so it's a waiting game. In Essex, police activated a full | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
evacuation plan at Jaywick, And emergency services were poised | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
to assist anyone in need. Here, this morning's high water | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
was lower than expected but the Environment Agency | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
is warning people not The issue with a storm surge is it | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
really is about the high wind coinciding with what would be | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
high tides anyway. And if you get that, | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
you get really high levels, but it can be changeable | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
through the day. We are forecasting as closely | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
as we can and watching it through but it is really important | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
that people stay alert because some of these high tides will happen very | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
late through tonight. Police in Essex have been | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
urging people to comply with their instructions, | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
to come to centres like this, Some needed less | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
persuasion than others. The moment I knew | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
I had to go, I left. Left my phone behind, | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
everything else, more or less. As long as I was safe, | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
that was all that mattered. 200 troops are now helping | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
with the evacuation operation in Great Yarmouth, where thousands | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
of homes and businesses are facing That risk will peak here, along | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
with high water, at about 9:30pm. People here are doing | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
the best they can to Then, like thousands of others up | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
and down the east coast, Sophie Long, BBC News, | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Great Yarmouth. High tide is expected | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
there within the next hour. What are the emergency services | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
concerned could happen? Well, there are concerns it will | :07:55. | :08:08. | |
come right up to the defences, but we should look at what it has been | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
doing throughout the afternoon. I tide is the most dangerous time and | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
high tides depends where you are on the east coast. It has already | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
happened in north-east England on the Yorkshire coast. There has been | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
damaging Scarborough and Whitby. High tide here is about 6:45pm. They | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
expect it to reach the defences. Further south, it will not be in | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Great Yarmouth until about 9pm and in Suffolk and Essex it will be | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
midnight before the waters peak. But look what it has been doing so far. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
As it comes down the North Sea this afternoon and evening it is getting | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
right up to flood defences and over them in places. It seems the | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
precautions that have been taking place today are well-placed because | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
flood defences down the East Coast tonight are going to be tested, and | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
in places, the water may well get over. Thank you. | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
The Labour MP Tristram Hunt has announced he's resigning, | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
to become the director of the Victoria and Albert Museum. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
He's represented Stoke-on-Trent Central since 2010. | :09:06. | :09:06. | |
In his resignation letter, the former education spokesman said | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
serving in Parliament had been "deeply rewarding and | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
His departure triggers what could be a difficult by-election for Labour. | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
Stay with Labour, convinced they will lose, or walk away and leave | :09:19. | :09:35. | |
politics behind? Tristram Hunt chose to walk. His leader doesn't like it | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
but for this famous TV historian, when I caught up with him in Stoke, | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
this job offer was too good to turn down. Being director of the Victoria | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
and Albert Museum was my dream job and not something I could turn down. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
You have been clear that Labour is heading for trouble with Jeremy | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
Corbyn as leader. We haven't changed your mind. I have had differences | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
with Jeremy in the past but I am off to be an impartial director of a | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
great museum, so it is not the time to rehearse those differences. I | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
spoke to Jeremy this morning and he was gracious, interested in the | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
job... Also rather disappointed? Well, he was thrown. Nobody wants | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
this on Friday the 13th. He was pulling his punches but his verdict | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
on Jeremy Corbyn is on the record. We face a historic wipe-out of the | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn is glossing over troubles ahead. I do | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
not want to lose any MPs but he has taken this position as director of | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
the V Good luck to him, and we will have a by-election. But here in | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
Stoke, where most voted for Brexit and Ukip game second by 5500 votes, | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
ask anyone, this will be a hard test for Labour. Ukip, Labour, it will | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
always be in the balance whether Labour get in or not. They will have | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
a tough time holding on? More tougher time, I think. Politics is | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
muddled. Traditional Labour voters do not know how to vote, because the | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
Brexit thing... You want Labour to win. You are a Labour man? | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
Historically, but today there is no clear choice. Ukip seems up for the | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
fight. Tristram Hunt feels he has a brighter future away from Jeremy | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Corbyn and the Labour Party. We are confident there are a large number | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
of voters in Stoke Central who will feel the same way. For Labour, this | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
is a difficult time for a by-election. It is in a tough place, | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
and it is not the only one. Some Labour MPs have told me they are | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
either preparing to quit before the next election, or resigned to defeat | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
when it comes. Can Labour hold its ground, or our traditional | :11:55. | :11:55. | |
supporters turning their backs on walking away? | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
The FTSE 100 share index has closed at yet another new high. | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
It's finished the day up 45 points, at 7338. | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
It's the 12th record high in as many days, and the 14th day | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Experts say the record-breaking run has been driven by the weakness | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
of the pound, due to the ongoing uncertainty over Brexit. | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
Donald Trump has accused his political opponents, | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
both Democrats and Republicans, of putting together a dossier | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
of what he calls "totally made up" claims linking him to Russia. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
In a series of tweets the President-elect repeated his | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
accusation that the material was probably released by the US | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
He promised a report into allegations of Russian | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
hacking within 90 days, as Nick Bryant reports. | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
There are storylines that could easily come from a Cold War | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
spy thriller and plot twists involving sex allegations | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
and potential Russian blackmail that even the TV series House Of Cards | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
But this is reality, not a show, and the first episode of Trump | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
the Presidency airs in just one week's time. | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
For now, Donald Trump mainly delivers his lines on Twitter. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
It now turns out that the phoney allegations against me were put | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
together by my political opponents and a failed spy | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
Totally made up facts by sleazebag political operatives. | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Probably released by intelligence even knowing there is no | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days. | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
On Capitol Hill today, lawmakers received a behind closed | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
doors briefing on the unverified dossier and Russia's | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
alleged interference in the presidential election. | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
And many are left demanding more answers. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
The American people are owed the truth and there is a great deal | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
of evidence to say this is an issue of high interest to the American | :13:44. | :13:43. | |
people, the strength, the integrity of our own democracy. | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
A senior US official confirming today there were frequent contacts | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
between Donald Trump's top national security adviser and Russia's | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
ambassador here in Washington and that those contacts took place | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
on the day that President Obama expelled dozens of Russian | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
officials in retaliation for the alleged hacking. | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
It again raises questions about the Trump team's | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
All this as Barack Obama performs his final act and one | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
of them took his deputy completely by surprise. | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
I am pleased to award our nation's highest civilian honour, | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
I can say I was part of the journey of a remarkable man who did | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
But Washington moves on, it has always been a city | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
And this time next week this capital, this country, will be under | :14:43. | :14:46. | |

Coming up in Sportsday in the next 15 minutes on BBC News, | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
Johanna Konta has won her second tour title. | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
Now for the first major of the year that starts next week. | :15:18. | :15:32. | |
Lord Snowdon, the former husband of Princess Margaret and celebrity | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
The first commoner to marry a king's daughter for 450 years, | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
the then Anthony Armstrong-Jones married Princess Margaret in 1960. | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
Theirs was the first royal marriage to be televised. | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
But they separated after 16 years and eventually divorced. | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
Our Royal Correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, | :15:53. | :15:53. | |
He was the society photographer who took pictures of the Royal | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
family and who married one of its leading members. | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
It was in 1960, the start of a decade of considerable social | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
change, that the then Anthony Armstrong-Jones | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
married the Queen's younger sister, Princess Margaret. | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
He was an untitled commoner, she was the princess who, | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
a few years earlier, had had to renounce her love | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
for a royal official because she was divorced. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
With unbounded enthusiasm, acclaim for Princess Margaret | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
and her husband when they appeared on the balcony. | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
The couple brought glamour to the British Royal family. | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
This was them on a visit to San Francisco. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
A-list celebrities before the term had really been invented, | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
presenting an image of Britain more in keeping with the | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
Although he became the Earl of Snowdon, he continued | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
One of his proudest achievements was designing | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
The Queen wanted above all else her sister's happiness and her sister | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
seemed to have found happiness with this very different young man | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
who was extremely artistic, very talented, and I think people | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
By the late 1960s, the couple had two children, but their marriage | :17:12. | :17:23. | |
was in serious difficulty - both were having affairs. | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
In 1976 Lord Snowdon announced that he and Princess | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
Naturally, desperately sad in every way. | :17:30. | :17:39. | |
Throughout his life he campaigned on behalf of disabled people | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
and in latter years, despite his own increasing | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
frailty, he retained his passion for photography. | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
I like these ones because they are simple. | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
He could look back on a life notable for his marriage into the Royal | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
family but which had also produced many professional achievements. | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
Memorable images, among them this one of the Queen which ended up | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
on Britain's postage stamps, or this relaxed 80th birthday | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
As for the photographer himself, he shared the view of many | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
I'm always relieved that they come out! | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
Lord Snowdon, who has died at the age of 86. | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
At the end of a week in which Theresa May promised | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
to transform the way mental illness is treated in the UK, | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
we've a special report tonight on mental health among children. | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
One in ten children in Britain has a a diagnosable | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
The latest figures show 231 young people aged 10 to 19 | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
The charity Childline says calls from young people contemplating | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
suicide has doubled in the last five years to nearly 20,000. | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
Our UK Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Cooke, follows | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
Two families with difficult stories to tell. | :18:57. | :19:09. | |
I'm Sarah, I'm mum to Ben and Sam, my twins. | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
My name is Kim and my daughter is Georgia. | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
Ben was a fun loving, caring, happy-go-lucky child. | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Fantastic sense of humour, life and soul of every party. | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
She was full of life, she was a great kid, | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
she had lots of friends and she would have parties at home. | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
For Georgia there was all the appearance of | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
For Ben too, no thought of how desperate things would become. | :19:44. | :19:52. | |
Ben went off to do his paper round, I waved him goodbye, | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
we said we loved each other and off he went and I didn't | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
He was late and I can't remember what attempt | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
it was to call his telephone, somebody answered it | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
And I was like, it's mum, that's Ben's phone, why have | :20:06. | :20:14. | |
She is the first child from our family to actually go | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
to university and everything seemed to be going so well | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
and I was relaxed, thinking she's there, she's doing it, | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
The two officers turned up at the door and I knew straightaway | :20:26. | :20:36. | |
We were told that he had died on the motorway and that was the day | :20:37. | :20:46. | |
This week the government said it wants to reduce the stigma | :20:47. | :20:56. | |
of mental health problems, get more support into | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
schools, to young people who desperately need it. | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
I got in the car and I drove up there and I just felt | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
sick the whole journey, I felt sick. | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
I didn't know what was going on, what had happened. | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
She had managed to call the Samaritans for help. | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
I didn't want to be here any more, I didn't want to feel the hurt | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
and the pain that nobody else could see. | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
And that's when I thought it would all stop, it would be over | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
For Georga and her mum there is now plenty to look forward to. | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
That was a really difficult time in my life. | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
I've learned so much from it and it's made me | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
the person I am today, but I'm so grateful to be | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
here on this land having a really good time. | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
But for Ben's family it's all about memories and unanswerable | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
questions for a 14-year-old who took his own life | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
It's just not knowing, that's the hardest part. | :22:06. | :22:36. | |
Ben's mum knows the pain of losing a child. | :22:37. | :22:46. | |
Now she's working with the Papyrus charity to tell his story, | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
raise awareness, work to prevent more young lives | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
Details of organisations providing support for people in distress | :22:55. | :23:07. | |
or with mental health problems are available at | :23:08. | :23:09. | |

Turkey has ruled out withdrawing all its troops from Cyprus as part of | :23:18. | :23:36. | |
any unification deal unless all Greek troops also leave the island. | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
The two sides have been holding UN brokered talks aimed at resolving | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
the future of Cyprus which has been partitioned between Turkey and | :23:45. | :23:45. | |
Greece since 1974. A Sky programme about | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
Michael Jackson will not be broadcast following a backlash | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
by the late pop superstar's family. His daughter Paris said | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
the programme Urban Myths, which cast the white actor, | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
Joseph Fiennes to play Jackson, was incredibly offensive | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
and made her feel sick. It's arguably British | :24:02. | :24:02. | |
football's biggest rivalry and when Manchester United | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
and Liverpool face off on Sunday afternoon, | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
it will be their one of their most Both clubs are challenging | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
for the Premier League title and are hoping | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
to maintain their good form. Manchester United midfielder | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
Paul Pogba has told the BBC's Football Focus that manager | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
Jose Mourinho has turned the club around, but many Liverpool fans | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
believe this could be their year. As one power faded | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
the other took their place. Liverpool and Manchester | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
United are English football's most successful clubs, | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
but rarely have they fought a direct Right now Liverpool | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
are Chelsea's closest challengers and while United are | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
five points behind they've recently COMMENTATOR: Well hit by Pogba. | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
Brilliant strike. So too has Paul Pogba, the world's | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
most expensive player was brought back to Old Trafford | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
for games just like this. He says he's enjoying his return | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
to Manchester and working You know, he talks to me, like, | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
you know how to play, do what you want, he lets | :25:03. | :25:11. | |
me free on the pitch. He says, just go and enjoy | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
yourself and play. That's all I need, that's all I need | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
to hear from my manager. As anyone here will tell you, | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
you can't challenge for the They're on their best run of form | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
in eight years and they'll feel this is a good time to be | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
playing their fiercest rivals. Liverpool, such a free-scoring force | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
for much of the campaign, have hit They were recently held | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
by League Two Plymouth in the FA Cup and haven't won since New Year's | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
Eve. I hear when I talk to | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
different people that it's and now Man United and all that | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
stuff. But, yeah, give me 11 players | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
and we will be competitive. It's not about being | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
confident before the game. It's about getting | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
confidence in the game. Klopp's reassurance will be | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
welcomed by Liverpool fans. It may only be January but this | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
match could offer a hint at which team will be demanding | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
our attention come May. Snow, people being evacuated on the | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
east coast a lot going on. It is the scene in West Yorkshire at | :26:14. | :26:34. | |
the moment, very wintry and some of that snow has been drifting around | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
courtesy of the blustery wind which is causing problems on the east | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
coast. The combination of those strong winds and high tide moving | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
down the East coast in the next few hours, they will be critical as that | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
surge of water heads towards the Thames Street. If you have any | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
concerns about conditions, check out the flood line number. Weather-wise, | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
it is cold and if you have snow on the ground you will do in the | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
morning because things are not going to melt overnight. An icy night, | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
further wintry showers in the north and west and some of those will | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
creep in into the Midlands also temperatures close to or below | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
freezing but no doubt in some Scottish glens we could get as low | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
as -10. Another chilly day tomorrow, more wintry showers on the east | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
coast and the gales will continue. Further west, more showers but they | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
will turn back to rain, something a bit milder creeping in to western | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
areas in Northern Ireland and Wales and West of England. Seven or 8 | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
degrees. Another chilly day for the East. We have changes afterwards | :27:48. | :27:54. | |
because France will start to push in from the West, trying to introduce | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
some milder air -- fronts. That meant a different day on Sunday with | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
a fair bit of rain. It will stall across more eastern areas with wet | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
weather and a raw day in eastern counties with that cold air hard to | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
dislodge, just four or five. Further west it will get milder and a bit | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
dry up with temperatures reaching 10 degrees. | :28:18. | :28:18. | |
Nearly half of all NHS trusts in England declared a major alert | :28:19. | :28:30. | |
So it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :28:31. | :28:35. |
