Lets speak to pepe diiasio whos General Secretary of the association of school and college leaders. Thank you so much forjoining us here on bbc news. So tell me, it is this guidance your members have been crying out for . I this guidance your members have been crying out for . Crying out for . I think it is fair to say that crying out for . I think it is fair to say that we crying out for . I think it is fair to say that we have crying out for . I think it is fair to say that we have been crying out for . I think it is fair. To say that we have been wanting this guidance for some time, for a period now, we found ourselves between a difficulty with parents who are saying, what are you delivering and when and in what form are you delivering sexual relation education . And at the same time, not having some level Playing Field that the government can share with us about what their expectations are and their guidance. So we can point to that to say to parents, we are following what the government is saying is appropriate and is at the right age and the right stage. So teachers will be welcoming this guidance, but i feel that at the moment, some of that is not necessarily based on evidence. We are not clear about where those boundaries are being drawn and perhaps even not having the flexibility with which we can make sure that we put the right guidance in at the right time, in the right way and be flexible to able be to respond to that, particularly in our teenage years which we are seeing great change and at the moment. This uuidance at great change and at the moment. This guidance at the moment, and it is being published tomorrow i should say, so we wont have the full details, but it is talking about primary age children, children under the age of nine. Clearly a very controversial area and difficult area for teachers to be involved in, particularly along issues of gender identity. Is this something your members have been concerned about . I think to be fair, our members in the primary sector are saying that the information they are hearing and the things they are seeing on the front page of newspapers just an actually what is happening right now and most primary colleagues will be saying that they are teaching about relationships, they are teaching about how to respect one another and to get on with people, and that is not the same as being portrayed in terms of macro and education, which is actually delivered more in secondary schools and more appropriately in secondary schools in terms of Sex Education. The guidance will hopefully highlight what is already happening in primary schools and clarify what they should and should not be doing. In secondary schools, we hope it provides both the flexibility and also the reassurance that what we are focusing on the right issues and hopefully, we will also allocate professional development for colleagues to be able to learn how best to deliver it so there is more consistency and more assuredness in the way we are delivering whatever the way we are delivering whatever the topic is. The way we are delivering whatever the tonic ic the way we are delivering whatever the tonic is the topic is. There is a review auoin the topic is. There is a review going on the topic is. There is a review going on at the topic is. There is a review going on at the the topic is. There is a review going on at the moment the topic is. There is a review going on at the moment that| the topic is. There is a review going on at the moment that concerns children exposed to inappropriate content. When do we expect the rules of that review and perhaps would you have expected guidance to have been based upon that review . Yes. Have expected guidance to have been based upon that review . Based upon that review . Yes, you will understand based upon that review . Yes, you will understand our based upon that review . Yes, you will understand our anxiety based upon that review . Yes, you will understand our anxiety at based upon that review . Yes, you will understand our anxiety at the | will understand our anxiety at the moment because we would have been preferred to be consulted, to have had professionals involved in a consultation. And for that consultation. And for that consultation to be based around evidence that has been accrued over a series of public Evidence Based Research organisations. And what we are fearing at the moment is that this is being politicised, that it has been driven as part of a campaign. And what we wont do is necessarily think about what is in the best interests of young people and making sure that we can deliver it professionally on their behalf so that their well being, their health and their understanding of some quite critical topics are delivered in an appropriate and balanced way. Well have to leave it there. General secretary of the association of school and college leaders. Pepe diiasio. Thank you. The bbc has been told that a new way of working in the Nhs In England has left some patients in Hospital Corridors for days. Dozens of hospitals have introduced whats called the Continuous Flow Model, which can move patients to wards which are already full, to release ambulances. Our Health Correspondent nikki fox has been investigating. Two years ago, these scenes were the norm. Dozens of ambulances waiting for hours to off load patients. Now the queues have reduced, but the problems have moved inside the hospital. This is footage filmed secretly by a patient� s relative around a e at queens in romford in march. We showed it to the president of the Royal College of emergency medicine. We cantjust park people in an Emergency Department as, like, a sort of dumping ground. Emergency departments are overcrowded, as they take Ambulance Patients quicker. The hospital says it was designed to see half the number it does now. That the footage shows, in their words, the sad reality of corridor care. And theyve approached nhs england to discuss additional funding. These are elderly, frail people, and theyre just not being looked after with privacy or dignity. How common are these scenes . They are depressingly common. I think this is a national shame. Queens added that march was the busiest month theyd ever seen. To reduce pressure on a e, more than 36 hospitals have introduced a new model of care called continuous flow. Patients are moved to wards even if theyre already full. So more are in corridors across the hospital. It was cram packed. I would say there was probably 13 about that corridor, 13 beds. My possessions were all on the bottom of bed. The actual fact was it was horrendous. Gregory knowles is home from the norfolk and Norwich Hospital. He stayed on a Ward Corridorfor three days. One day, when i got up there, his catheter had actually leaked in the bed and i had to get him out of the bed, he was wet, and walk him with no covers or any screens around the bed to the bathroom to get him washed, and then even had to come back and make his bed up. The Chief Executive of the norfolk and Norwich Hospital told us. But in some places, like north bristol, this new way of working is saving lives. Two years ago, patients who were having a stroke or a heart attack, it would take about 75 minutes to get an ambulance to them. Today, its about 30. Two years ago, there were 139 hours of ambulance time outside of our Emergency Department here. Yesterday, it was six. Others think its wrong for corridors to be used as regular bed spaces. Sadly, we are normalising the abnormal, and if we dont make a stand to say enough is enough, lets properly solve the issues of the nhs, i think the real concern is that the public will lose faith in the nhs. The Department Of Health says 5,000 extra hospital beds have opened in the past year, but the Health Foundation says the ageing population means 21,000 more are needed by 2030. The Continuous Flow Model has helped significantly reduce ambulance delays, but in romford, moving people toward corridors isnt making enough of a difference and there are very few places left for them to go. Nikki fox, bbc news. Documents obtained by the bbc Show Millions of litres of untreated sewage were illegally pumped into the centre of englands largest lake, windermere, in february. It was ten hours before an engineer could arrive to stop the flow. United utilities, which manages Water Supplies in the north west of england, said the incident was caused by an unexpected telecoms fault. Two men charged with criminal damage after the sycamore gap tree was cut down in northumberland are due in court today. Daniel graham and adam carruthers, both from cumbria, will appear before magistrates in newcastle. The much photographed tree, which stood next to Hadrians Wall for 200 years, was chopped down last september. Intense competition between tenants is creating a race to rent, according to figures compiled for the bbc. High demand and a lack of Available Properties being advertised, mean tenants are forced to make an instant decision on whether to apply for a tenancy. 0ur cost of living reporter Kevin Peachey has been looking atjust how difficult it is to find somewhere to live. Newly married, and with a newjob, adrian then needed to get into a new flat. But it wasnt easy. We ended up finding one or two properties that we really they looked fantastic, was the perfect fit, and then, you know, we sort of saved it for later, went back later on that day and it had already disappeared. So it was just extremely. Aggravating because, you know, youd see a place, and one minute, its there and the next, its gone. Before the pandemic, listings for a two bedroom flat were online, on average, for 35 days. But such was the demand among tenants like adrian, last year, that dropped to 25 days. In some areas of the country, like here in liverpool, lettings agents say renters need to be even more fleet footed. 0ur average letting time is only seven days. We advertise a property, we can list a property one day, it can have 500 views that day online. We could then get maybe 50 enquiries online there. And then, following that, we carry out some viewings and its gone within seven days. Competition between tenants is so intense that some properties go within hours of being listed. It also means that costs have shot up, too. 0ne impact of that is People Living for longer in the family home official figures show that more than 3. 5 Million People aged under 35 are still living with their parents. For them to move on and secure one of a dwindling number of homes to rent, the advice is to be prepared. Tenants need to make sure that they have all their ducks in a row, all their paperwork ready, deposit, ready to move. So when they find the right place, they can move to it immediately, rather than waiting two or three days. Adrian and his wife did eventually find a place to live. But for others like them, putting down roots will be a challenge. Kevin peachey, bbc news. Lets speak tojulie holt, a renter, based in ramsgate. Hello, julie, thank you for talking to us. Take us through your experience just to us. Take us through your experiencejust to highlight to us. Take us through your experience just to highlight how difficult it is now. Experience just to highlight how difficult it is now. Yes, it is. And listeninu difficult it is now. Yes, it is. And listening to difficult it is now. Yes, it is. And listening to the difficult it is now. Yes, it is. And listening to the stories difficult it is now. Yes, it is. And listening to the stories before, l difficult it is now. Yes, it is. And listening to the stories before, i | listening to the stories before, i was sitting there nodding. I started looking for a rental property in 2019 and it actually took me 16 months to find somewhere to live. And like the previous person said, i took a property that was not particularly idealjust because it was somewhere to live. 0n the issue that i found was that as soon as a property became Available Online or through an agent, you would make an inquiry and it was gone straightaway. 0r inquiry and it was gone straightaway. Or it would be a case of, you are in the running, but the landlord has chosen somebody that does not have a pet or can offer a higher deposit or Something Like that. So it is really difficult and it is really unfair. But i think the hardest thing that i found was looking for a property because i have got a dog and looking for somebody that would accept us to move in and to live in our home together. Move in and to live in our home touether. � move in and to live in our home together move in and to live in our home touether. �. ,. ,. ,. , together. And what does it mean for ou together. And what does it mean for you financially together. And what does it mean for you financially and together. And what does it mean for you financially and emotionally, you financially and emotionally, having the stress of being able to find just somewhere to live . Absolutely. So emotionally, it is really difficult because it is a basic human reflex to have security and to want to have a roof over your head and know it is consistent and safe. So when that is taken away from you, it impacts your mental health, your well being. But also, financially, so when you put a deposit on a place and you move in and then you have been given a notice to say you move out again, that deposit is not ready for you to then put on another property. And i was in a really look a position where a really good friend of mine was able to lend me the Deposit Money to put down until it came back. And it is all of those things that are not considered that put a lot of stress on that kind of process. Lot of stress on that kind of process lot of stress on that kind of rocess. ~. ,. , process.

So everybody moved rooms and made space for us. And that is how we lived for a really long time, which had really lovely benefits to it. But at the same time, as an adult, you are impinging on other peoples space. We can Hearfrom Impinging on other peoples space. We can hear from your story you have been really lucky because you have a good support network. But i guess many people dont. Thea;r good support network. But i guess many people dont.

He was saying to me that there is no property that would accept him with his dog. So rather than rehome the dog, he chose to live in the tent. And ijust think that could be anyone of us. My dog is my child, so to speak, and we come as a pair. And ijust kind of think there needs to be allowances made for that. Again, like i say, it is a basic human right to be able to have that right. Have that right. Julie, you are in the house have that right. Julie, you are in the house you have that right. Julie, you are in the house you are have that right.

An italian team looked at peoples body fat percentage, instead of calculating their body mass index, or bmi. Their research proposes a lower Starting Point for obesity, which would take into account how body fat increases as we age. It found that 50 more men and 40 more women would be classed as obese using the new measure.
