Radio 5 live over at the on the b.b.c. Sound 5 long drive with our foster live say hello welcome to joy the main story this evening history is being made in Northern Ireland as the role college nursings members are striking for the 1st time in the union's 103 year history the action which all the health unions also supporting is of a patient safety and pay almost 4000 outpatient appointments of being cancelled in Round Table talks are being held by the Northern Ireland sector Julian Smith between the main parties here are some people on the picket line in old McGavin I'm Linda Kirk and I'm a speech language they're just I've been working since 1987 point has come where I've never had strike before when I was national You never before. I never felt the a year for the exact same job and that's just not fair. Some of us there from county Londonderry So what about the situation for nurses in other parts of the u.k. Welsh I'm sure. Yes it was interesting and of that there was a survey by the r.c.n. In Scotland done last month and they found that a lot of nurses in Scotland felt that they were being valued that the rates of pay they were getting didn't. Value the development of the role that had happened in recent years but in contrast to that actually pay rates in Scotland a much better than they are in Northern Ireland and also better than they are in England and that is because the Scottish Government decided to end the public sector pay freeze earlier than other parts of the u.k. With a one percent pay increase and the latest round of pay increases a 3 year deal which structures from the start of 2018 to the start of 2021 whereas in England the increase was 6.5 percent in Scotland it was. 9 percent and that means if you're a band 5 star for us starting out this is the entry level salary in Scotland you will get $24670.00 pounds in England you will get 24 $1214.00 pounds so that is in him higher rates in Scotland than in England and certainly more than Northern Ireland now that is not to say that everything in the health service in Scotland is perfect it certainly isn't There are waiting times there are massive hospital projects that have been delayed and one where there are serious concerns that have about children that have died possibly as a result of infected water supplies just one other point to make and that is that in terms of the vacancy rates the number of posts on filled in Scotland again it seems as though Scotland is performing better than other parts of the United Kingdom in Scotland it is only 66 percent and that equates to about $4000.00 posts so summing it up it is not perfect in Scotland but it is probably fair to say that in some respects it is better than other parts of the u.k. James she will thank you and Glasgow Let's head to Cardiff where we Carson's that. It's a bit of a mixed bag here and we'll so on the positive front you've got the bursary for nursing students and there is a piece of legislation called the staffing act it's the 1st and only one of its kind in the u.k. Now that means that health boards on wheels they have a legal duty now just in acute care sense to keep nursing staff in at a certain level and that's well received but the Royal College of Nursing and Wales they want that extended across the whole care section in the n.h.s. In Wales for patient see if they because there is still like everywhere else in the rest of the u.k. And in Northern Ireland a problem with filling vacancies especially in community nursing rules this problem with filling posts means that the any h.s. Here in wheels has to spend more money on agency workers and the vice. Majority of staff will work overtime at least once a week now in terms of pay I don't think there is a nurse in wheels Who wouldn't want a pay rise but they are currently you know in line with colleagues in England who all in all there are there are problems and issues which need to be rectified the n.h.s. Under big pressure here in and wheels but for nurses their concerns are certainly not the same level of those in Northern Ireland thank you reacts really cost in Cardiff that doesn't he's got a picture in England one of the biggest challenges facing the health service is a shortage of staff is being described as a national emergency and the picture within nursing is particularly bleak so in England there are currently more than $40000.00 unfilled nursing posts that's roughly 12 percent of the nursing workforce and that means hospital wards a stretched an n.h.s. Trusts have to rely on less qualified staff or expensive agency nurses so in response to this journey election the Conservatives promised they would add $50000.00 extra nurses to the workforce by 2025 and they do this by training more staff recruiting from abroad but also crucially retaining existing nurses who might be thinking about leaving the profession so this morning the government announced it would fulfill its election promise to reintroduce a maintenance grant the student nurses in England and that was scrapped by the conservative government in 2017 and it would be worth between $5.80 pounds a year in the health secretary for England Matt Hancock is hoping that will encourage students who are about to fill in you cast forms in January to think about a degree in nursing and then there are these plans to persuade around 18 and a half 1000 nurses who might otherwise have left the profession to remain in their jobs through things like promoting flexible working improving training and what's called continuing professional development and also encouraging staff we've left in recent years to return to the n.h.s. All of which n.h.s. England has already been busy doing now everyone agrees and I think that includes Matt Hancock that this is going to be a really tough target to hit but the reality is that given the. Demand for health care is rising in 5 years' time those 50000 nurses are going to be needed more than ever well as we heard that one of the main challenges is recruiting and retaining nursing staff as Dominic said the government has announced today efforts to try and address that by reintroducing n.h.s. Bursaries of up to 8000 pounds to support trainees Now of course there are student nurses training right now who don't have that support and they are still passionate about pursuing nursing as a career path I've been speaking to one of them Rosie Thompson she's a 3rd year student at King's College London and I asked her why she chose a profession I want for the job which to represent my personality and to be caring taking care of people is very much natural to me I've always cared for my granny. My younger sister and I've always been very tight the family has always been a passion of mine and alongside boys. And asked me to feel Aegean pharmacology and that all of it together. Yeah I mean it clearly sounds like you were doing the job that you absolutely want to day I just wonder how how much does the now you when you when you spent time on the ward and in hospital how does how does it compare the reality of it compared to how you thought it would be before you started before I started I just really didn't understand as much about it after starting now I've been on different all areas I can see where there's a lack of trust is in the hospital as well as I mean again I've never really grasped how situation could be until I was they don't like they've made me come in actually there is a lot by lightning just because they don't have enough. Numbers when you talk about the lack of staff because obviously for many of us we only see this from the outside is it because for from what you can tell there isn't the money to employ. Well but just on more qualified nurses out bad to actually fill the job what does it look like from why you are I think is a natural justice generally I think certainly the 1st 3 think goes. Seen a drop and when I discussed nothing with my no nothing family inspired. And also people don't seem very interested like pursuing it as a career if it has to come from someone as a personality but with things like financial I called high. I was I would think you can find it fitting people like I said about the 1st 33 draw . But I think it is a lot of I think there's not enough people coming for you but I don't fight I don't know if it is to do you pay for treatment I'm sure there is some element of that but I was I was at night this is this from what I can have Yeah and that was what I was wondering how it sort of looks from you'll perspective to this as a rosy to ever worry you because obviously you as you said you really want to cad and you want to look after people and if there aren't enough nurses that to do that that must be tricky because at times yes know that you're not being able to do everything you would want to do yeah absolutely that faeries destiny elements that you see patients are receiving the care which they deserve you know we're well on able to divide ourselves to free people to cover the mouth people that are needed and this is really frustrating that she wanted to do ever think you can to get patients Besa to get them to shard to do much for them possible and you call it you call yourself and do you ever say I wonder what about the people the people you've trained with they will talk to the cool guy all progress or of any of them found out what things are like and maybe change them or career in the quiet to my signing at the beginning of the Course have dropped how I say from what I know all think well I have dropped out I think when I saw says the cold that was 300 in my year I think I'll say this close to Virgin all seeing now I think while I have just found the friends the Chinese just have to accept couldn't handle it they couldn't handle being pay by financial issues better suited no income from place or really affected them the job itself was too much for that little they couldn't handle as Stephanie is Crier saying when you go into Lex's initiated numbers of cleaning jobs every 5. Financially I have had issues if you don't feel I know thank you they're still my family are very very lucky to have a family support me but for some people that's not the case and I told my 5 children. By themselves all right and. It's really hard for them and I've seen them pretty sacrifice and have to walk along. Places just really really tricky. Just give me a bit of an insight into what it's like to be a student at the moment she's in her 3rd year studying nursing at King's College London it's $617.00. This is full of blood drives sidelines has been here in the records for the restoration of devolved government in Northern Ireland as thousands of nurses go on strike a 90 year old man has been jailed for life for the murder of 14 year old Jade Moody in east London and the Us House of Representatives is deciding whether to impeach Tony from the off time in the.

She does wear a helmet but that's part of her cool I mean that's. J.j. Abrams who directed it approached me and said I have this idea that you have to wear a helmet would you be cool with that I said definitely I mean the coolest character is where most valuable action figure is and say yeah. He was the most excited member of your family but you got a part in Star Wars my 12 year old son river. I think it's the only thing that I've actually redeemed any street credit for. Actually that is. As you go lunch box with your face on. What we've been talking about how much Star Wars means to people what's your earliest memory of star star was the one of the 1st movies I saw in the cinema. I actually physically went and saw my princess Laya was so huge for me Han Solo I remember the garbage compactor scene do you remember that oh yeah I did you ever do your hair like Princess I did yeah of course I did. So I mean it's just epic and we've seen the fans tonight's their all in the costumes amazing I know it's reached such an incredible group of people worldwide there's something about of it just captured the story of how. He had a head that he had 2 months to make. He's just. You know. It's a sad story. So if you're driving. You see a job. Like you very much for joining us. From the Star Wars episode. Of Skywalker So you interest in the. People at the premiere. With an inflatable Jabba the. Very wide screen difficult to watch the film. And. Yeah I can see the way it works is the people who are interviewing him. Get told that their interview is a. Great interview so hopefully. He's . Very sparkly. But yeah we're going to have to one of the big. Top salute they are right from the starts in 1997 it was December the 27th 1977 the Star Wars opened in the you. Opened here in Leicester Square there was no premium for it and I think because it was Christmas time they didn't manage to get it together and ask. Why they didn't have one it is opened earlier in the year open to the 25th of May in the us and in the u.k. $977.00. And it was. Time to think Anthony Daniels is looking away are you able to come on are you able to come on Leah life. Battery change the camera batteries gone. You know I have a battery changes as well but I'm up in the 1st film my eyes were always going out and it really annoyed. Me with kind of fury. Sort of thing and it was a battery and then eventually shorted out and started cooking me around the back. And I'm life and I'm going to do you mind if I can finish my interview but the stolen your live in Radio 5 Live Dr Sam. I think I was with you the other day at one time. In Leicester Square this is where Star Wars opened in December 97 but it was no premiere then for the u.k. Well there wasn't really a premiere in Los Angeles and that there was no money for things to. Get just a few guys went to see it and they ran out. And here we are today because there are now millions and millions of Star Wars fans around the world it just grew. You know went viral and and here we are. Pointed you realize it was a phenomenal. Phenomenal. Time or Newsweek in a news agency. That's the film I didn't. Really that's. The word for New York trying to get you to do interviews at the time was a dark secret. They wanted people to think Threepio was a real droid so I was left on the sidelines and now here I am tonight starring. In a charger with my goal to tie you are the one we wanted so nice it's been quite a journey as you can read in my book I am c. 3 Po the inside story with a forward by j.j.

Even more exciting to see actually that. It's a different experience actually being in a film watching it when you did together and the John Williams stunning music again he's done a real class act on it because you were the only actor who said noël 9 shelves Yasna strange and I met George Lucas here we are next to square and I met him against my will few blocks from here at 20th Century Fox house and I didn't know I was being polite at him but to be in his films. And then I fell in love with a painting and then I read the script which he'd written and I just really liked cesário and when I was a kid in a massive Star Wars fan I remember little stories of George Lucas planning out 3 trilogy so you know how close in the end those 3 trilogies turned out to be George Lucas fish. First. And then you know as as he moved forward to pass it over to Disney they very much took their own take on it with j.j. Doing that unfortunately j.j.
