Doctors will leave the nhs to work abroad, in countries including australia and new zealand. Our Health Reporterjim reed has been looking into this. Weve been trying to answer that question, whether weve been seeing a large exodus, as is being feared, of nhs doctors going overseas. Lets begin by looking at the bigger picture. This graph is showing as the proportion of uk nhs doctors that arejoining and the proportion of uk nhs doctors that are joining and leaving the proportion of uk nhs doctors that arejoining and leaving each year. The numberjoining here in read has actually been rising as weve been recruiting more foreign doctors from overseas into the health service. The number in blue is the number leaving, and actually, it has remained pretty constant over time at about 15 . This is the number of doctors leaving for any reason, so that could be retiring, moving into private practice, it could be going abroad, and there has been some quite aggressive recruiting of nhs doctors by other countries. This advertisement here is from the authorities in south australia. It has been plastered over billboards outside some London Hospitals and also posted directly into the social media feed of some nhs doctors, trying to convince them to go and work in south australia. What effects a camping at the seven . If you look at the numbers of uk trained doctors working in these three countries, it is a pretty mixed bag, in the United States its actually been falling slightly, in new zealand it has been writing but in recent years it has been quite constant and flat stop this year is the number that you need to look at. The number working in australia. We only have data up to 2021 on the up to that point in the previous eight years we were seeing a significant increase of about 65 in those eight years, so some Warning Signs there. Also Warning Signs when you look at this is telling us whatjunior doctors are deciding to do two years after they start their training. Backin after they start their training. Back in 2012, ten years ago, and 66 were going straight on to continue that training, to specialise in the nhs, but look at that number has fallen back over time, on the flip side of that, hear and read, the number deciding to take a break, to pause their training for at least a year, has gone up quite significantly. Some of this group will be deciding to freelance, others may simply be taking a break from their studies, but this afraid assumption that a decent amount of this group will be deciding to move abroad. 0verall then, no concrete indication of a huge exodus of nhs doctors abroad, yet, but certainly some Warning Signs looking at the starter. Senior conservatives including a Cabinet Minister say their party is likely to campaign to leave the European Convention on human rights at the next generalelection, if Rwanda Flights for Asylum Seekers continue to be blocked. With the story, live now to westminster and our politcial correspondent, nick eardley. This is not the first time this proposal has been floated, tells why it is back again. It is back again. Quite frankly, because the it is back again. Quite frankly, because the rwanda it is back again. Quite frankly, because the Rwanda Scheme i it is back again. Quite frankly, | because the Rwanda Scheme is it is back again. Quite frankly, because the Rwanda Scheme is stuck in the courts and some conservatives, right up to cabinet level, fear it is going to remain stuck. There is a Supreme Court hearing expected later in the year but many think that its not going to overturn a previous decision in the british courts, and that means that the Rwanda Scheme may never get off the ground. There are some senior conservatives who are now thinking about what they need to do next to try and deliver on the proposals to move Asylum Seekers from the uk into a safe third country. In one of the proposals that has been talked about, with people ive spoken to, is coming back with this idea to leave the European Convention on human rights. There are some senior conservatives who think that the court, which enforces the convention, is too political. Some are suggesting that it is punishing the uk through brexit. They are saying if we cannot get Rwanda Flights up and running by The General Election probably next year then we should back leaving the European Convention on human rights at the next general election. Is it going to happen . Possibly. There are some that feel very strongly about it, but it is worth pointing out there are some who are very opposed to this receipt would be madness, kneejerk, undermine uks position on the international stage. Number ten and said that they think they can clamp down on small boats without leaving International Treaties like the echr, the interestingly the immigration minister robertjenrick was asked about this this morning and he said the government could rule nothing out, and it is prepared to do whatever it takes to deliver stopping small boat crossing. Tells more about stopping small boat crossing. Tells more about how stopping small boat crossing. Tells more about how people within the party feel about the echr. Party feel about the echr. Looks, the honest party feel about the echr. Looks, the honest answer party feel about the echr. Looks, the honest answer is party feel about the echr. Looks, the honest answer is that party feel about the echr. Looks, the honest answer is that opinion | party feel about the echr. Looks, i the honest answer is that opinion is divided, there are some conservatives think there is no problem and it is constraining the uk in attempting to stop people crossing the channel on targets. You might remedy the first Rwanda Flight Due to stave off last summer was locked in the end because of a ruling on the European Court on human rights so they blame the e hrc for some of the delays in fomenting that policy. There are others that say that being part of International Treaties on human rights is a good thing, something that should be encouraged and that leaving it would be hugely problematic for the uk, not least because it would have an impact on under International Agreements the uk as part of and that debate is continuing to play out, Opposition Parties say this is a headline grabbing, and the conservatives have not got on top of the Asylum Backlog over the last few years. We the Asylum Backlog over the last few ears. ~. ,. ,. , years. We will have to leave it there, years. We will have to leave it there. But years. We will have to leave it there, but thank years.

Thousands of people on Universal Credit in the uk are having money deducted by Utility Companies to pay their bills, despite a legal case that challenged the policy. Anyone on old style benefits must give consent but it isnt required from those on Universal Credit. The Department For Work And Pensions insists the policy strikes a fair balance. Phil mackie reports. Helen simpson keeps a close eye on her utilities, after a nightmare four years caused by a faulty meter. It caused her bills to rocket. No one would listen to her and, before she knew it, things got worse. The Utility Company started taking over £80 a month out of her benefits without her consent. She was one of about 200,000 people affected. Itjust seemed wrong that i didnt have the right to choose how my money was spent. You were obviously saying this to them and to other people. What kind of response were you getting . 0h, they didnt care. And Ijust Ping Ponged Backwards and forwards with nobody doing anything. And at that point, how were you feeling about a system that didnt appear to listen to you . How can it be in my best interest to be paying Utility Arrears that obviously arent correct, and not be able to pay my rent . She eventually won her case in the high court and got her money back. Its meant that the Department For Work And Pensions has stopped taking money unless people are consulted first. But the ruling only applies to people like helen on old style legacy benefits. For most people, for instance, if i were in arrears with a Utility Company, they wanted that money back. First of all, theyd have to talk to me or theyd come to a place like this and get a county Court Judgment against me. But, for people on benefits, they dont need to do that. Ive always said a loaf of bread would be about a fiver by the time my kids are like 15, 16. And the way the worlds going at the moment, its probably going to end up like that. That includes chelsea ellerman, who lives with her three children and two dogs, and got heavily into debt. Id not, like, given any consent. Ive not spoken to anyone. So then when i realised it were actually coming out, and i were like, but no ones actually sat and discussed this with me or you know, like said, can she even afford to do this . Its not helping. She sought help and found a charity that deals with this every day. Noahs ark centre has looked after a 1,500 people in calderdale who had money taken out of their benefits. Around 80 of them buy utilities. And the deductions were brutal. I mean, back in pre 0ctober 2019, someone on uc could lose 40 of their money to pay debts and it almost felt like the dwp were becoming the countrys biggest Debt Collection agency. In a statement, the Department For Work And Pensions said. It ground me down and just made me feel that i was a victim, and there was nothing i could do. But its been fighting back and winning thats made me feel empowered. Phil mackie, bbc news. It has been long understood that 10,000 steps per day is the ideal number to stay fit and healthy but a new study shows fewer than 5,000 may be enough to see a benefit. A study of 226,000 people around the world showed that 4,000 was enough to reduce the risk of dying prematurely of any cause. With more on this we can go to our Health Reporter laura foster. What has changed . We are so used to hearing 10,000 steps is what you need to do. How did this new number, about . Element the first thing we should see is the first thing of 10,000 Steps Dominic this study has taken a bunch of existing studies, the most reliable and most compatible ones, concluded that after looking at a quarter of a Million People and studying them over a long period of time, if you hit 4000 steps you sought to reduce the risk of dying early, if you hit 2300 steps begin to improve how your heart race and how your blood vessel works with a does not mean everyone should just stop hitting 10,000 steps are registered targets lower than anyway because it concludes that actually the more you walk, the better it is for your health and every extra thousand steps reduces the chance of dying early by 15 and researchers say they have not found an upper limit yet, so the idea of an upper limit yet, so the idea of an ideal step target is still very much up for scientific debate. We muck interesting, the whole idea of 10,000 stepsjust came muck interesting, the whole idea of 10,000 steps just came from marketing. If there is no upper limit, is 4000 the minimum you need to do to see some sort of benefit . The 2300 is when you start to notice improvements to your heart and blood vessels, for thousands when you start to notice, reduce your risk of dying early. Id avoid saying 4000 this disco, 5000 by this and does this disco, 5000 by this and does this go, step length and what people are able to do depends on the current state of health and fitness and the idea is the more steps you can do, the better it will be for your health overall, and insufficient physical exercise is a huge problem or in the world, the World Health Organization says globally 3. 2 Million People die every year because they dont get enough exercise. 81 of teenagers worldwide. Walking is one of the exercises that is accessible to most people and doesnt cost anything, you can factor it into your daily routine. Facebook boasts nearly Three Billion monthly users across the globe and at its best its been cheered for bringing us together but also criticised for tearing us apart. But is the Social Media Platform good or bad for your well being . That s the question two researchers from oxford have been asking in the Biggest International study of its kind. With surprising results they found n0 evidence facebook is bad for you. One of the people behind that study is professor of Human Behaviour and technology at the Oxford Internet institute. He explained the study� s methodologies. You know, you hear stories about big positives and big negatives of using facebook and messenger. What we really wanted to do was go out and get the data to find out if that was true or if there was evidence for that, so we approached meta, worked with them for about two years to see if they had the kind of data we needed. Use of facebook, adoption of Facebook Messenger in 72 countries across 12 years. We marry that with data on Mental Health and well being, build statistical models and the results did surprise us. We were expecting something bigger, maybe something negative or positive, but we really found pretty convincing evidence, at least on a global scale, that a lot of facebook might not have had an impact on well being that many of us would have expected. For more on this im joined by professor of Social Psychology at the London School of economics sonia livingstone. What do you make of this report . It is it broad enough .

I would actually say it is so broad as to be really say it is so broad as to be really too broad to tell us very much about what is happening with facebook and well being because it gives a huge average this is nothing much is going on. Because for some people days there are positive benefits and for some People Research shows there are negatives. Actually we have quite a lot of research that says many people experience both of those, so it is a big study by the positives and negatives get cancelled out in this incredibly general dataset and we have to drill down to understand the nature of facebook use, the nature of the effect it has, both positive and negative, i would say, and especially we need to think, have a much better understanding about the different segments of the population that are being affected rather than just talking about the global population.
