Setting and it looks like Australia has just experienced its hottest day on record Meteorologists say the average national temperature yesterday was 40.9 South Yes That beats the previous record of 40.3 from 2030 now thought his school cool when we talk about these kind of temperatures and this day and age we think of the next existential crisis as common as to why it's not a happy picture that we're told anyway happy way to say here is let's change the tone just for 20 seconds they might have been the youngest side in Liverpool's history but Aston Villa dispatched them with relative ease between them 5 nil to reach the last 4 of the e.f.l. Cup Villa made 10 changes themselves but before mail up by half time apart later Liverpool have their 2nd game in under 24 hours if they beat Monterrey in the Club World Cup in cattle they will play Flamingo in the competitions final Thank you Chris good morning everyone thousands of nurses in Northern Ireland are taking unprecedented strike action today it is the 1st time anywhere in the u.k. That members of the Royal College of Nursing have opted to walk out they begin industrial action in 2 hours time the Northern Island Ambulance Service is also striking starts at 7 o'clock for 24 hours the reason for all of this while the state of the health service in Northern Ireland there's been no health minister since the storm want executive collapsed in January 27th one in 6 people in Northern Ireland is waiting to see a consultant for a 1st time Stephen Carey recently told 5 live about his experience with the health care system in Northern Ireland 140 weeks I was told in October that I had to wait to be able to see a neurologist NY I want to look you once you're off private medical care but hey it's 6 months to see the c.m. Consultant on the n.h.s. Through my private medical insurance as well I was up to going to I was 9 my seizures ceased for many years 3 years ago I was a carer to my wife for my 2 boys here. I took a seat in front of them and I was seeing 2 very very quickly not a problem whatsoever and one morning I took a seizure and was unable to attend that particular appointment with my neurologist and because of that they says to me sorry you did not attend so the consultant put you also list dishonored 40 weeks like I received a letter in a post to excuse and oh yeah we think you need new medication so please up to us your doctor has been approved but I haven't seen a doctor in 2 years hasn't seen adult into yet so how did we get to this point well b.b.c. Northern Ireland South correspondent is Marie Louise Connelly Good morning can you remind me of how we got here yeah but this dispute is over pay parity with the rest of the u.k. For instance the Royal College of Nursing which goes on strike and just under 2 hours time the 1st time ever in its 103 year history where they argue that. The value of nurses pay here has fallen by 15 percent over the past years it's also very much a bite staffing levels nor the not under short of a by 3000 nurses and as you can imagine Michel that's a lot of gaps in Rhoda's both and hospitals in the community this all started back in 2015 but Northern Ireland unlike the rest of the u.k. Decided to pay their health workers a little bit more and Stead Northern Ireland do you pay health minister decided to make savings and instead of paying health workers more while he decided just to keep it the same as that means Northern Ireland's health care workers don't have pay parity with their counterparts here again exactly the same job and hospitals and then Scotland and Wales and the system as we have just heard there with your interviews is already extremely fragile just listen to the following figures and remember these figures represent people we're talking about women men and some children over 300000 people are currently on hospital waiting lists on average. It's a 4 year wait for a navy and hip operation 230 it wakes for a 1st neurology appointment and the gastroenterology appointment and even some children are having to wait 3 to 4 years to see a food allergy specialist so there is the big picture of the health service in crisis and then there is the specifics about this particular strike and I think it's useful just to illustrate when I talk about pay parity it means for example where a nurse a paramedic in Scotland takes around about $24000.00 pounds a year but more in Scotland than in England or Wales and Northern Ireland it's $22795.00 pounds a year there is a clear difference even though they are doing exactly this the same job and now my understanding is that it's the pub and it secretary at the Department of Health and I guess he's in charge while there isn't an operational still want to somebody did all the health work as a 3 point one percent increase in negotiations earlier this month but that's been rejected is that right that's right that was rejected that pay off or according to the health unions was mentioned it was talked about during the summer holidays they say that that still doesn't bring them up to the same as their current to parts elsewhere and remember this goes back to 2015 so there's a bit of back pay going on there as well my understanding is that it would take a run $100000000.00 pints in order to solve this dispute what was offered 2 weeks ago on the table by the secretary of state Julie and Smith brought it up to about 77000000 pines So that means we were still short 23000000 so really what we're talking about of course it's an awful lot of money but it would take $23000000.00 pines to resolve this current dispute we don't have a health minister we don't have an executive we don't have a 1st or a deputy 1st minister so the services being run of the country is being run at the moment by civil servants and this is also created a. Problem as she said the secretary of state Julian Smith has nice stepped in again after the elections there were talks right up to the 11th hour last night a Northern Ireland's political parties who haven't been in government got together yesterday they sat round tables they signed a letter giving over power to Julian Smith to step in and order to reverse this policy because Northern Ireland has devolution by law it should be a local health minister who should do that they stepped in they said Ok we're not there yet we don't have a government up and running yet but we are giving you the part to do what we should be doing but at the 11th hour last night both the civil servants in Northern Ireland on Julian Smith to mines that well that's not good enough and of course the argument is not I is this health strike and are these health workers being used as political leverage to try and encourage Northern Ireland's parties to form a government again because that's really what this requires but someone's got to step in someone's got to take responsibility because in the meantime service is a big impacted what what kind of effect is all of this going to have. As is being offered today it's a massive impact Richo you know this is every health Union this is from porters to nurses. To Cancer to drivers to paramedics right across the system we should say that all of the health unions have been working very very closely with management ensuring that those emergency services including cancer services are covered today as much as possible we have got 5 health trusts here Belfast is the largest but we've managed to get figures from the 2nd largest health Union that's the site the eastern trust a not trust along 467 patient appointments have been counseled 151 surgeries have been counseled and that's just I'm on health trust the unions are providing. I'm cover as I say an emergency services and the problem is why today could be covered a safely as possible this is going to have a Mahsud knock on effect for the next couple of weeks only a week less than a week away 9 from Christmas Day when services are already reduced to some extent so the fear is that right up until and the New Year and beyond we're going to be feeling the impact of today's strike thank you very much indeed talking about the nursing strike in northern Ireland and also the strike by ambulance staff if you're affected by this to get in touch this morning at 5 o 5 Louise Kelly was the Northern Ireland health correspondent we've been hearing from that and have a minutes past 6 this is b.b.c. Radio 5 Live on digital b.b.c. Sound small speak to travel to tell you about killing traffic on the southbound one in Northamptonshire 2 lanes built 2 to an accident off the junction 15 for the a 45 congestion to junction 15 a for the I 43 and the a 420 in Oxfordshire closed in both directions between the a 338 and the b. 40740172 the Accident Investigation one. For news and the bass blogspot this is b.b.c. 5 live my God brought. You here morning so all the talk was yesterday about Liverpool's babies in an e.f.l. Cup and in the end they were completely told yeah I'm slightly upset that somebody had the same idea as me for the kids Jonathan Karl just scored 2 goals for us to Miller in their 5 they'll win over Liverpool last night a Villa Park and bearing in mind that live pool had a very young side I had the Liverpool youngsters beaten by an old codger Unfortunately the Daily Mail who will claim all the credit and I can possibly say that I thought about it last night when this is on the back page of a nice bike riding days I've obviously days kids schooled by old codger 2 of the 5 that they scored often when the stories about the team that has defeated no. Enough attention is paid to the team that has won so Firstly let us say well done to ask that he made 10 changes themselves and could only essentially be the 4 guys in this were they to lose but they did not and in fact they were 4 nil up by halftime it was impressive performance by a team who had made all those changes and indeed have lots of Premier League issues themselves to be dealing with. It's their 1st semifinal in this competition since 2013 at the last time they want to trophy back in 1906 Aston Villa it was this trophy and none of the Liverpool team who played last night were even born yet and that is just one of the more extraordinary statistics about the team that live poor forced to put out because they are playing in the Club World Cup later today 2 games in under 22 hours it was the youngest lineup in Liverpool history the average age was under 20 it wasn't even 19 and a half but even that will kick off last night they were saying on 5 live Sport a lot of people were saying could you know I've had 2 of the older boys or a couple of them over the head just giving a bit of a kind of steadying influence a bit of have to be of authority in our side. Yes you could attention I think what might have been behind the decision to not do that is because Liverpool have 2 potentially 2 games in the Cup World Cup coming up so they had to take enough of a squad to cover for any issues that might arise from the 1st sun for more about the cup Well Cup than the f.l. . But yes probably not the Club World Cup World Cup This is a competition that you can only play for if you have won the Champions League so clearly this is not something that you play for every year there is a. There is a queue dos this is not something that you will win very regularly and for Liverpool it is a very special end to a special year that allows them to do that they will feel when the Imagine the end of the season and the trophies are tallied up they would have preferred to have one more in addition to a potential Club World Cup but not only was it 19 and a half years average age there were only 16 1st team appearances between the Liverpool side. And the shirt numbers because obviously the younger you are the less experienced you are the higher your shirt number it added up to 737 players last night and now you can top despite being in Qatar for the Club World Cup with the senior squad he was in touch more than once 3 and a half 1000 miles away he was the Liverpool manager but the other 20 three's boss Neil Critchley who took charge of that team last night explained how much club had been getting in touch at a message from before the game she got a message through it it was a hard time to keep doing what we're doing Be brave really happy with what we were doing and what we did in the 2nd half what we've got to learn from the games and I is these players going out to have careers that both penalty boxes decide to game we weren't good enough in both penalty boxes and Lupul 2nd game in under those 22 hours is against Monterrey in the Club World Cup semifinals later in Doha as a $530.00 kick off it's on b.b.c. 2 you can watch it on television the winner will play Flamengo in the final flamenco beat Al Hill out of Saudi Arabia yesterday flamenco Brazilian side Monterrey from Mexico what about the 2 big managerial appointments we've been talking about this week we are assuming Up until this point until it changes tomorrow that tomorrow will be apparently the big day where we at least get some sort of significant movements Partly that is because the lottery to Everton potential story has to be firmed up or indeed it has to go through some more negotiations from what we understand it is at least progressing the Guardian today is talking about the fact that he's agreed a deal to take over Goodison Park there are some issues with Napoli his previous club to sort out should that deal eventually happen they play tonight one of the other a.f.l. Cup quarterfinals Duncan Ferguson will definitely be in charge for that against Leicester. Will be on the Manchester City bench tonight again we understand Thursday the earliest for any sort of movement on that because they have a game later on the seafaring if McCallum is to go to Arsenal I imagine that yes there have been 2 perhaps even 3 me. Things about the potential for him to move back to the club where he had that fairly illustrious career as a player but also what he has to consider I would imagine is what Manchester City have in terms of plans for him and whether there is a succession plan that involves him and imminently which of course Pep Guardiola said yesterday in his press conference before they play Oxford later where he will be on the bench. If you want to sack me or something because when you say succession plan you assume that God is going somewhere so understanding that Pep isn't going anywhere at least for the time being he won't stand in a Texas way to continue it is not in our hand we're not going to tell him to stay stay stay when he doesn't want to stay I'm a guy who likes to people can the freedom you know and do with the ones because they feel that is the one I want right now in this moment of my life with my family over my position profession and your person and if you decide to move I wish him all the best of like hey look this is in many ways the story of the morning the 1st victory for a female in a way. In the p.c. World in this competition that 2020 will Championship starts in 2019 because the final is right at the beginning of January and Fallon Sharrock became the 1st woman to win a match of the competition and beating Ted Abbott 32 at. Last night's came from behind there were some huge out shots over 100 she didn't necessarily just beat a guy who was off his game she came from behind she was consistent throughout genuinely incredible performance she was the women's runner up in this competition in 2015 she's from Milton Keynes it was trending top on social media after the win at Alexander palace last night for Fallon Sharrock she now faces Austria's men society bitch and in the 2nd round in the competition which as she might have been upstaged by McCurry Suzuki he nearly did it on Sunday but it's Fallon will always be remembered as the person the 1st woman. When a Adults match the World Champion How long have what women been competing I've had none not long they've always had a secondary competition in terms of the runs alongside or prior to the final of the men's as the b.t.o. Has done but they are able to qualify for and compete in the world championship it is not a men's championship it is a uni sex World Championship much like the Super Bowl championship but nobody has ever got to that stage where they're able to compete in the main competition and then win so they have been competing but then when this is the 1st on that's happened in Salinger 125 is any kind of a physiological benefit to being male that gives you a significant advantage in Darwin you tell me right because I would not imagine that there was not much of a difference and what the what you need I mean we traditionally think of darts players as being the big lots but that's not always the way anymore and I recognise that I know they can't compete anymore with those who are yes exactly and you do need to be physically fit you need to be physically fit you need to have the incredible most incredible mental aptitude not only that the old Come mathematical aspect of darts but the ability to concentrate on selecting the correct outshot and also just being able to concentrate for that amount of time because you do have to do that one thing I would just say about the physiological differences were there to be any physiological differences they shouldn't necessarily be the defining factor between a man and a woman playing does but if you were to play darts Rachel against a man you wouldn't necessarily think that there would be any difference with your physiological aptitude to play it's a genuine question that I don't know the answer to and people who have more experience of these things I'd love to hear from either the post match analysis included a comment about the fact that it is that has been the consistency the ability to compete over a long matches well as being not only the downfall of some of the female super players in the world championship which is the longest version of snooper in that competition is the consistency to be able to compete over the long periods of time the longer games. And therefore to win eventually because these are 5 set matches in the 1st round they get longer as they get interesting discussion now and Ok 5 by 5 if you've got anything to add on that thank you Hugh it is 620 is James and John Robbins Celis feel like palms are dealing chatting to great guests about live music played acoustically due to licensing restrictions so just a bit well you're in luck for the final line surely and we're coming live from a London bus. And we'll be joined by some lucky listeners and a few friends from the I won't lie Jonas takes all of my boxes and then some a to extra boxes Alison Jones Christmas cheer is seeing at the line from the park this Friday to run on b.b.c. Radio 5 live good morning President Donald Trump has lost out over his impending impeachment in a letter to top Democrat Nancy Pelosi accusing her of declaring open will on American democracy Mr Trump faces an impeachment fight later over allegations he pressurised Ukraine for personal political gain He's expected to be impeached setting up a trial than in the Senate Leon knife is the co-creator of slow you may have heard of this on the host of the fiasco podcast he explains just well impeachment is. Impeachment is the process of using the President of the United States why should it be any public official but the good president and states but using him committing political crimes actually due to these don't have to be literal crimes that violate the federal law but they take the form of something like abuse of power structure of justice which is say the president is using his office for corrupt purposes and so he's been is a step process in a way you get the impeachment in the House of Representatives. Where the members vote on whether to essentially accuse the president of high crimes and. Demeanors And then if they do in fact
