On today's Sart seven, Andy Burnham lays out plans to decentralize power, government reaches, deal with resident doctors, and much more. It's Tuesday thirtieth of June, it's asteroid Day and happappy birthday, Cheryl Freedy Smart seeven. It's news but not Bunon Monday saw the man most likely to become the UK's next prime Minister make his first substantial policy speech. Speaking at the People's History Museum in Manchester and dressed in his trademark t shirt and jacket, Andy Burnham laid out a clear vision for the UK If he becomes leader, he says that growth needs to become decentralized to every postcode, and part of that will include a shifting of power from Downing Street. I have had ten years of fighting the White hole machine blocking this place's progress And I am simply not prepared to accept the same for any area coming after Greater Manchester. The whole of White Hall will now be required to get behind our places and work together with them quicker more joed up decisions He didn't detail any plans for a cabinet, but he promised the biggest council housing building programm since the post war period and a reform of business rates designed to create a renaaissance on Britain's high streets Tory L leadader Kemmy Badano was being polite but firm as she requested a formal presentation of the new PM's plan. Andy Burnham should delay the summer's Parliamentary recess, come to the House and tell us his plan for this country. This is not a game. It should not be a social. A new report has found that the current education system is not serving the interests of white working class children. The indndependent report, which was commissioned last summer, says that serious reforms are needed to address the fact that generations have been robbed of opportunity, according to Education Secretary Bridget Phipson. There are twenty four recommendations which include free access to public transport, improved childcare support and making more apprenticeships available. Phillipson was attacked last week by Tory leader Kemmy Badnok who accused her of being a spiteful class warrior, but she says this report proves that there is a huge issue. If you work hard in life, you'll get on. That I'm afraid is just not true. That is a lie that we tell ourselves, that it isn't the reality facing many families across this country. Education and the support that families get has the huge potential to change that, to make our country fairer. and I think it tells you a lot about the Tories that they're not interested Actually. The report also recommends curtailing smartphone use, particularly in schools which coincides with a formal ban that started on Monday Matthew Barber, police and Crime Commioner says Thames Valley police have been supporting schools in their area with measures to support the ban. We found sixty percent of schools, they have a policy, they say they're phone free, but actually it's really based on just keep it in your bag, turn it off. And we know the reality is that leads to conflict between teachers and pupils and all of the disruption that can cause. So a physical way of doing that is you say, a lockbox where all the phones get locked up at the start of the school day, I'm not being prescriptive. We're just providing the funding to those schools and saying it's up to head teachers to decide what solution works best for you It's good news on Monday as the long running dispute with resident doctors finally came to an end. New Health Secretary James Murray succeeded where West Streeting struggled, negotiating a deal that will see a three point a fivealf percent pay rise which will be backdated to April The deal also includes more training places, out of pocket expenses for things like exam fees and a commitment to accelerate pay rates again in twenty twenty seven The deal brings an end to three years of industrial action, and Health Secretary Murray says he's looking forward to a better relationship in the future. I want this to mark the beginning of a new chapter of engagement and cooperation. with the resident Doctor prorofession, the BMA, and other unions representing NHS staff' best interests. I'm looking forward to working with you all to build an NHS fit for the future UN officials are making plans for as many as ten thousand casualties from the aftermath of the Venezuelan earthquakes as the window for finding survivors closes More than seventeen hundred people have died, with thousands more injured, but tens of thousands are still missing as the country struggles to recover. American troops are working to repair the damaged port of Laag Gua to speed up the delivery of aid for survivors Acting President Delsie Rodriguez addressed the nation on Monday and she says that huge progress has been made on restoring utilities like power and water We have already recovered seventy five percent of the electricity service. Teams will continue working until electricity is completely restored in L Guira.
