waiting list outlined, it keeps going up. 7.7 million people are waiting for what it's called consultant led treatment. that could be an operation, gone to their gp and dgp has said it is too complicated for them to look at, they need to go to hospital to see a specialist and be on the waiting list for diagnosis, an appointment to talk about their problem for an operation at the end of that process. to put this in context, 7.7 million people is one in every seven people in england. you can see why this is a big political issue. across notjust england but the rest of the uk, were waiting less happy and very high and rising. the government says more money is being put into deal with this, deal with winter pressures as the nhs trust to get into that period which is often very difficult for doctors and nurses because more people come forward with colds, bugs, slips and falls in the winter, which is why

you are seeing this pledge for an exit 200 million in england. i should say that when you look at the statistics, the government says a lot of this is about industrial action, we had junior doctors had most senior consultant doctors on strike in august at the time that this data was taken. but when you look at a graft for the overall waiting list in england, it it was giving up well before the pandemic in 2020. then a sharp increase that pandemic period and then the number seems to still be taking up, not quite the same pace but still rising. the government says it has had some success and the nhs is that too, and reducing the longest waits, those waiting more than two years, more than 18 months. overall this waiting list is still going up and it is proving to be a difficult political issue with an election around the corner, probably next year. to around the corner, probably next ear, ., . ., around the corner, probably next ear. ., . ., ., year. to morocco where there have been more — year. to morocco where there have been more aftershocks _ year. to morocco where there have been more aftershocks today, - year. to morocco where there have i been more aftershocks today, nearly

a week after the quake that killed almost 3000 people. villages and parts of the atlas mountains ran from their homes when they felt the latest tremor. there are still concerns that the tremors are causing rocks to fall and that could block access routes for aid supplies. some people have been moved to displacement camps, we are watching live pictures from a camp, and you can see people who have been moved into tents, doing their laundry, being cared for, but a lot of people had been telling us they don't want to leave their homes but stay where they are possessions are, they want to stay by the land. it has been difficult for those living in areas with the still feeling those aftershocks. i spoke to one of our arabic reporters in marrakesh who brought us up—to—date. the

villages, ruraland mountainous villages, rural and mountainous areas, villages, ruraland mountainous areas, because aftershocks actually leave them with quite a few difficult options, either to stay the night in the already damaged buildings orjust go out and decide to sleep in the open, and they are fear the fact that if they are staying in the night in the open, already damaged buildings could suddenly crash on top of them. these are the most affected command those up are the most affected command those up high in the atlas mountains. the number of payments made using cash has risen for the first time in an decade, according to the banking trade body. its latest figures make it clear plastic is still king. 0ur cost of living corresponded has more. fit. cost of living corresponded has more. �* , ., . cost of living corresponded has more. m ., ., ., more. a bit of a comeback for cash, accordin: more. a bit of a comeback for cash, according to — more. a bit of a comeback for cash, according to these _ more. a bit of a comeback for cash, according to these figures, - more. a bit of a comeback for cash, according to these figures, 7% - more. a bit of a comeback for cash, according to these figures, 7% rise l according to these figures, 7% rise in the number of times people use notes and coins last year, which is... inaudible

the first is this emergence from the pandemic, more opportunities to spend that cash, and i think more significantly it is all to do with the cost of living. people are really feeling the pressure on their finances and many of those find it a lot easier to budget using cash, so they know what is coming in at what is going out. that said, it is still only one incident payments made using cash, and as you say, it is very much dominated by debit cards, which now account for half of all payments, which is the first time that has happened. 5m? payments, which is the first time that has happened.— payments, which is the first time that has happened. stay with us on bbc news. hello. we've got quite a mixture of weather to take you through the rest of this afternoon, and for scotland and northern ireland it stays quite windy, sunny spells and a few passing showers. the south of england, in contrast, will be dry with some sunshine and between, for wales

and the midlands into parts of lincolnshire, we've got this weather front bringing outbreaks of rain, and the front trails all the way out into the atlantic to a developing area of low pressure that is then set to strengthen and move towards spain and portugal, bringing some severe storms there. at the same time, it will flick some warm air across england and wales for tomorrow and will also control how much rain that we see into the week and beyond. back to today's weather, though. this weather front stretching across wales, the midlands, lincolnshire. it will turn the rain a bit heavier as we go on through the afternoon, potentially getting across north wales into north west england. sunny spells and showers for scotland and northern ireland, south of england, parts of east anglia, warm sunshine, perhaps feeling a little on the humid side as well. now as that low pressure starts to develop overnight and works towards portugal, we start to get some milder air moving in across england and wales. so temperatures about 11 to 14 degrees. but at the same time, we'll see the rain band extend across northern england, reaching further northwards into parts of northern ireland and southern scotland.

that process continues on friday, the rain could be quite heavy at times as well. to the south of that it's largely dry and sunny. but this weather front also separates what will be relatively cool air across the north of the uk, with temperatures about 13 to 15 degrees from the increasingly warm air that we'll have across england and wales, 22 to 25 degrees celsius with a rather humid feel to the weather as well. into the weekend, that low pressure will start to throw a few showers in across southern areas of england, perhaps into parts of wales too. a few of the showers could be heavy and thundery. start off with some damp weather across scotland and northern england — that should ease through the day and the weather will turn brighter and drier through the day across scotland and northern ireland. temperatures there still a little bit below par, 14 to 16 degrees, potentially pretty warm across the southeast — 26c. by sunday we're looking at showers and thunderstorms probably merging together to give some longer spells of heavy rain. the question is just how far north that gets. it could even reach as far north as parts of scotland through sunday. so we'll keep a close eye on that.

could be heavy enough to cause a few issues as well.
