:03:13. > :03:18.regarding Margaret Williams, which we are waiting

:03:26. > :03:27.but according to today's local government survey,
:03:28. > :03:30.most councils are struggling with the sheer demand for this sort

:03:58. > :04:02.the growing costs of social care. We're struggling to balance next
:04:03. > :04:06.year's budget, and we're really struggling to make it sustainable

:04:17. > :04:19.after what were described as government reassurances,
:04:20. > :04:23.but like most authorities in today's survey, council tax here is likely

:04:30. > :04:31.other services, like bin collection and road mending,
:04:32. > :04:36.may still face cuts. There has been a united voice
:04:37. > :04:42.of local government to say that they need to have more funding

:05:27. > :05:29.than expected rise in numbers attending Accident and Emergency
:05:30. > :05:32.and in hospital admissions. I'm joined by our
:05:33. > :05:47.Health Editor Hugh Pym. We have all got rather used to
:05:48. > :05:51.seeing how much red ink there is across NHS finances in England and
:05:52. > :05:56.today we learn a bit more. Ministers say progress has been made on
:05:57. > :06:00.cutting expensive agency staff bills, but the figures are worse
:06:01. > :06:05.than expected. What was predicted last November by the regulator for
:06:06. > :06:10.this financial year for all trusts in England was a deficit of ?580
:06:11. > :06:16.million. Today we have learnt it will be higher. They think it will
:06:17. > :06:21.be Nero ?850 million. One of the reasons they give is the sheer
:06:22. > :06:26.number of patients, more than expected. Let's look at the numbers
:06:27. > :06:31.going to A in October and December, a key barometer of patient
:06:32. > :06:38.numbers. There was an increase on the same period the previous year of
:06:39. > :06:43.200,000, up to well above 5 million. Another reason was the delayed
:06:44. > :06:47.transfers from hospitals, making it difficult for hospitals to find
:06:48. > :06:52.enough beds. If you cannot move a patient on, you cannot find room for
:06:53. > :06:56.somebody who need routine surgery and hospitals lose income. They
:06:57. > :07:02.cannot move patients on because of the lack of social care in England.
:07:03. > :07:12.Social care again has come back to cause problems for the NHS in these
:07:13. > :07:14.figures. All eyes will be on the budget. Ministers we are told by

:07:47. > :07:50.opponents of Brexit and those who have deep doubts have begun their
:07:51. > :07:54.final stand. It is a fight they expect to lose, but not before they
:07:55. > :07:58.do all they can to make the government think again about who has

:08:23. > :08:28.I do not want to see anybody holding up what the people want. She rushed

:09:20. > :09:25.protesting today want their rights to live and work in Britain
:09:26. > :09:30.guaranteed, not later in talks, but now. In coming days ministers will
:09:31. > :09:34.be pressed to agree. But here were over 50,000 letters demanding that
:09:35. > :09:39.the law to get Brexit started should be passed quickly with no changes,
:09:40. > :09:44.an argument supported by some who campaigned against it. I voted to
:09:45. > :09:50.remain in the European Union, but I support this bill because I believe
:09:51. > :09:56.the referendum was decisive. A former chancellor said no deal was
:09:57. > :10:00.better than a bad one. As soon as it is clear that our European Union
:10:01. > :10:08.partners will not accept our offer, we should move on. There is nothing
:10:09. > :10:12.to be gained by doomed negotiations. Peers are just getting warmed up,

:10:17. > :10:21.Next week, the government may just lose votes on migrant rights and buy

:10:27. > :10:32.of who backs down, the betting is the Lord's will not defy the elected
:10:33. > :10:36.MPs or the referendum. Talks to quit the EU looked like starting on

:21:16. > :21:24.clever new technology. What I have here is our patented
:21:25. > :21:26.super-slippery coating technology. You'll see that the toothpaste
:21:27. > :21:29.glides very easily. And you can do that with food
:21:30. > :21:32.as well, can't you? So here I have mayonnaise
:21:33. > :21:37.in a regular bottle. You will see that mayonnaise
:21:38. > :21:40.is stuck, sticky. Here is our liquid glide-coated
:21:41. > :21:43.bottle, and you will see that the mayonnaise slides
:21:44. > :21:47.very easily as well. The container has been specially
:21:48. > :21:50.engineered to enable the ketchup, or any other sticky liquid,
:21:51. > :21:52.to slip out easily. Scientists coat the inside
:21:53. > :21:56.with a rough surface. They then put a thin layer over it,
:21:57. > :22:00.and they cover that with a liquid which fills in the troughs and forms
:22:01. > :22:04.a very slippery surface, The ketchup hovers on top,
:22:05. > :22:12.and just glides out of the bottle. This coating process
:22:13. > :22:15.could cut huge amounts of waste. We dispose of
:22:16. > :22:17.40 billion containers that The technology is already
:22:18. > :22:24.being used for paint. Look how the untreated tin compares
:22:25. > :22:28.with the coated one on the right. 200 million gallons of material
:22:29. > :22:32.is thrown away by industry each year when the super-slippery bottle
:22:33. > :22:40.is available in a few years' time, mealtimes will be
:22:41. > :22:47.a little less tricky. In just over an hour,
:22:48. > :22:52.all eyes will be on a football pitch in south London,
:22:53. > :22:54.when the part-time players of Sutton United will take

:23:40. > :23:41.a mammoth one, but football has a habit of creating fairy tales.
:23:42. > :23:44.Sutton United's cup run has seen their captain living the dream.
:23:45. > :23:46.Not bad. You?
:23:47. > :23:48.That is, when he's not on a building site.
:23:49. > :23:51.Jamie Collins only trains twice a week, working elsewhere to
:23:52. > :23:53.make ends meet like the rest of his team-mates.
:23:54. > :23:57.With no strict athletic regime to follow, Collins enjoyed six pints

:24:00. > :24:00.COMMENTATOR: Collins for Sutton. 1-0!

:24:26. > :24:28.trying to get things done, it's sometimes a little bit distracting.

:24:46. > :24:49.So are you in a position now where you are going to be able
:24:50. > :24:54.I was going to say we are going to splash out!
:24:55. > :24:59.This community club can afford to now.
:25:00. > :25:03.The estimated ?700,000 they've made from this Cup run means they can pay

:25:31. > :25:33.It's something I haven't even thought about,
:25:34. > :25:37.If it happened, it would just be one of those moments
:25:38. > :25:41.It will be, "Where were you when Sutton beat Arsenal?"
:25:42. > :25:42.The club already knows about giant-killing.
:25:43. > :25:45.They famously beat top-flight Coventry in 1989.

:25:48. > :25:52.The away fans sitting here tonight can be assured,
:25:53. > :26:00.though, that Sutton's desire is the real thing.
:26:01. > :26:09.We have talked a lot about Sutton. What about Arsenal? Arsene Wenger is
:26:10. > :26:15.a man under pressure after his side was thrashed 5-1 by Bayern Munich
:26:16. > :26:21.midweek. But Arsenal are 105 places above Sutton United in the Sokolik.
:26:22. > :26:25.Defeat tonight would be unthinkable, but as Lincoln City proved in the
:26:26. > :26:27.week by beating Burnley, not impossible.
:26:28. > :26:40.I'm sure there's many a spring blossom bursting into life this
:26:41. > :26:46.afternoon, as temperatures peaked at 18 degrees in and around the London
:26:47. > :26:52.area. It felt more like mid May. However, February once its month
:26:53. > :26:56.back. It will get its weather back later this week. Some areas will
:26:57. > :27:01.struggle to get above mid-single figures. Colder air isn't far away.
:27:02. > :27:06.Tonight, milder conditions across the southern half of the UK. Patchy
:27:07. > :27:10.rain and drizzle at the moment, but turning wetter overnight across
:27:11. > :27:17.Wales, the west Midlands and East Anglia. A chilly night than last
:27:18. > :27:22.night in parts of Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Here's the best of
:27:23. > :27:27.your Tuesday sunshine. It will turn cloudy and wetter from the west
:27:28. > :27:32.later on. The day starts wet and misty across Wales and the South
:27:33. > :27:39.West, struggling to brighten up. It turns a bit wetter in the South West
:27:40. > :27:44.later on. Brighter weather for the Eastern high ground. We will finish
:27:45. > :27:49.the day with a lot of rain across the west. Tomorrow night, it will be
:27:50. > :27:53.wet and windy. Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England, after
:27:54. > :27:58.the promising start. Those conditions extend to all on
:27:59. > :28:04.Wednesday. Low-pressure pursing into Scotland could cause 60 miles an
:28:05. > :28:09.hour gusts. Some showers will be wintry. England and Wales start of
:28:10. > :28:15.cloudy and damp, with patchy rain and drizzle. A cloudy couple of days
:28:16. > :28:21.on the way in Southern counties. Further north, it turns colder, and
:28:22. > :28:24.that colder air will be with us all, after that potentially windy spell
