TIMELINE OF THE NHS WAITING LIST THE NHS waiting list in England has become a political flashpoint as it has ballooned in recent years, more than doubling in a decade. The statistics for England count the number of procedures, such as operations and non-surgical treatments, that are due to patients. The procedures are known as elective treatment because they are planned and not emergencies. Many are routine ops such as for hip or knee replacements, cataracts or kidney stones, but the numbers also include some cancer treatments. This is how the wait list has changed over time: August 2007: 4.19million – The first entry in current records. December 2009: 2.32million – The smallest waiting list on modern record. April 2013: 2.75million – The Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition restructures the NHS. Current chancellor Jeremy Hunt was Health Secretary. April 2016: 3.79million – Junior doctors go on strike for the first time in 40 years. Theresa May is elected Prime Minister. February 2020: 4.57million – The final month before the UK's first Covid lockdown in March 2020. July 2021: 5.61million – The end of all legal Covid restrictions in the UK. January 2023: 7.21million – New Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledges to reduce waiting lists within a year, effectively April 2024. September 2023: 7.77million – The highest figure on record comes during a year hit with strikes by junior doctors, consultants, nurses and ambulance workers. February 2024: 7.54million – Ministers admit the pledge to cut the backlog has failed. August 2024: 7.64million – List continues to rise under Keir Starmer's new Labour Government. 3 Winifred is sadly still in hospital Credit: BNPS

South Korea lifts president's martial law decree after lawmakers reject military ruleGOODYEAR, Ariz. — Over the past few weeks, concerned New Jersey residents have craned their heads skyward to track the movements of what appeared to be mysterious drones overhead, formulate theories about their origins and strategize about how to get rid of them. A few thousand miles away, just west of Phoenix, Amazon is on an ambitious quest to convince people that the 80-pound drones whirring over their houses not only are harmless but also represent the exciting future of online shopping. You may have heard about Amazon’s drones before. The company first teased them more than a decade ago, when Jeff Bezos went on “60 Minutes” to declare the start of Prime Air, an experimental drone delivery service that the company hoped would one day deliver millions of packages to customers in 30 minutes or less. For Amazon addicts, the pitch was irresistible. Need a phone charger? Forgot your toothpaste on a work trip? Tap a button, Bezos said, and an autonomous drone would zoom through the sky to deliver it to you, in less time than it would take you to drive to the store. That future didn’t arrive on schedule, however, and Bezos is now more focused on sending rockets to space. But Amazon hasn’t given up on drones. This week, I was invited along with my “Hard Fork” co-host, Casey Newton, to tour the facility where Amazon just launched the newest iteration of Prime Air and see its new drones in action. Our tour was awkwardly timed — smack-dab in the middle of a national panic over the drones hovering over New Jersey. (For what it’s worth, Amazon officials say the mystery drones aren’t theirs. Federal officials said this week that most of the reported sightings had turned out to be piloted planes and hobby drones, although some remain unexplained.) But Amazon is undeterred. The company believes that the convenience of drone delivery will outweigh any concerns people have about the drones themselves. “Any form of technology needs to have utility,” said David Carbon, Amazon’s vice president and general manager of Prime Air, who served as our tour guide for the day. “If it doesn’t have utility for the general populace, it’s a nuisance.” We tested that theory by ordering a drone delivery of something called Brazilian Bum Bum Cream to a house in the Phoenix suburbs that Amazon had rented for the day. The cream is one of about 60,000 products that can be ordered for drone delivery, all of which weigh 5 pounds or less and fit into a standard-size Prime Air box. (Despite the suggestive name, Brazilian Bum Bum Cream is used on many body parts.) Our delivery went smoothly. It also inspired a visit from a neighbor, whose reaction proved that the public may not be as excited as Amazon is about a drone-filled future. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Related Articles A drone dream, deferred Back in 2013, when Bezos made his pitch on “60 Minutes,” Amazon’s drones weren’t really ready for prime time. For starters, the company had yet to receive regulatory approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to operate a drone delivery program. (That approval didn’t come until 2020, when the agency authorized Prime Air to operate as an airline and deliver small packages via drone. The approval was expanded to include deliveries “beyond visual line of sight” this year.) The drones themselves also had issues: They had limited range and carrying capacity, couldn’t fly in heavy rain or wind and made a ton of noise. They were also inefficient as a delivery vehicle. Unlike vans and trucks packed wall to wall with boxes, a Prime Air drone could deliver only one package at a time. There were safety concerns, too. In 2022, Bloomberg reported that an Amazon drone testing facility in Pendleton, Oregon, had recorded five drone crashes in a four-month period, including one involving a drone that burst into flames and ignited a 25-acre brush fire. (No one was hurt, and the company characterized the incidents as part of routine testing.) In 2020, Amazon hired Carbon, a longtime aviation executive, to overhaul Prime Air and turn its original vision into reality. (Carbon left Boeing, where he oversaw the company’s 787 Dreamliner factory in South Carolina, after a New York Times article detailed rushed production practices and weak oversight there.) In 2022, Prime Air started drone delivery with real customers in College Station, Texas. The program proved that the company’s drones could fly safely, but it wasn’t a hit with customers, in part because signing up for drone deliveries was so cumbersome. Before sending drones to customers’ houses, Amazon employees had to visit the houses to find a clear spot for dropping packages. Customers were given printed cards with QR codes on them, which they’d place in their yards or driveways to help guide the drones to the right spot. The whole thing felt more like an elaborate marketing stunt than a preview of an inevitable future. (Around that time, my colleague David Streitfeld memorably described Prime Air as “a program that flies Listerine Cool Mint Breath Strips or a can of Campbell’s Chunky Minestrone With Italian Sausage — but not both at once — to customers as gifts.”) Recently, Amazon has developed a new drone — known as the MK-30 — that it claims solves many of the problems with previous models. The new drones fly twice as far, and the company says they are significantly quieter. The drones can also identify where to drop packages with the help of cameras and sensors, which means no more yard surveys or QR codes. This year, Amazon began offering drone delivery from a facility in Tolleson, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix — where, as in Texas, the skies are typically sunny and clear, making for optimal flying conditions. Its drones now deliver dozens of packages a day to real, paying customers in the West Valley Phoenix Metro area — a tiny fraction of what even one Amazon van could do, but a step toward fulfilling Bezos’ original vision. The blades of progress Once we arrived in Tolleson, Carbon gave us safety vests and took us on a tour of the Prime Air facility. The facility is housed in a back corner of an Amazon warehouse that I would be tempted to describe as “huge,” except that a company press official said it was smaller than a typical fulfillment center. Outside, in a fenced area known as the PADDC, for Prime Air Drone Delivery Center, a fleet of roughly a dozen MK-30 drones sat ready for takeoff. They were tear-shaped and gleaming white, with big blue Amazon logos and six, three-blade rotors surrounding the delivery compartment. These custom-designed drones are bigger and heavier than anything you’d see on the shelf at Best Buy; each MK-30 weighs 80 pounds and is roughly the size and shape of a Labrador retriever. And they fly at speeds of up to 73 mph. As soon as a Prime Air order comes in, a worker inside the warehouse packs it in a special, cushioned box and sends it down a conveyor belt. Another worker walks the package outside to the drone delivery area, drops it into a size checker and slides it through a chute to a worker inside the fence. That worker then loads the box into a compartment inside the drone. A 30-second countdown begins. When it reaches zero, the drone’s blades start whirring, and the drone ascends to roughly 400 feet and makes a beeline to the customer’s house. Getting these drones off the ground has required making some compromises. Today, Amazon can launch only seven drones per hour from the Tolleson facility, and each can carry only one package, with a single item inside. That will change next year, when customers will have the option of adding multiple items to a box, Carbon said. Amazon charges Prime members an extra $9.99 for a drone delivery (nonmembers pay $14.99), and the drones don’t deliver at night. The company also has had to walk back Bezos’ original promise of 30-minute deliveries; it now tells customers their Prime Air packages will arrive in an hour or less. And drone delivery, for now, appears to be deeply unprofitable. Carbon wouldn’t say how much Amazon lost on each delivery, but Business Insider reported in 2022 that the company projected that drone deliveries would cost the company $63 per package by 2025, according to internal documents. Carbon, an upbeat Australian, is optimistic that all of this will change soon as Amazon’s technology keeps improving and the service expands to more areas. His goal is to deliver 500 million packages a year in 30 minutes or less via drone by 2029 — which would still amount to a small fraction of the company’s overall package volume but would be a huge success for Prime Air. (Amazon says Prime Air has made “thousands” of deliveries in Arizona and Texas so far but declined to provide more specific numbers.) Amazon isn’t the only company betting on drones. Companies like Wing (Google’s drone delivery unit) and Zipline are teaming up with retailers like Walmart to test their own drone delivery programs. And outfits like DroneUp and Matternet are building technology that could allow for smoother operation of large, autonomous drone fleets. As for the question you may be asking about all of this — do people want drones dropping packages in their yards? — Carbon has an answer: Yes, at least some people, some of the time. He conceded that not every customer would want all purchases delivered right away. But he said there were plenty of instances when you wanted something as soon as possible. (He gave the example of a child who spills something on his or her shirt; with Prime Air, a parent could order a bar of soap and receive it from a drone in minutes, before the stain sets.) “No one can ever tell me speed doesn’t matter,” he said. It’s hard to argue with Carbon on this point: In America, it’s never a good idea to bet against convenience. We live in a world of instant gratification: DoorDash dinners and Uber rides at the push of a button. And historically, every time Amazon has sped up its deliveries — first to two-day shipping, then to next-day, then to same-day — customers have responded by ordering more stuff and demanding that it be delivered even faster. Even so, I wondered, isn’t using state-of-the-art drones to deliver USB cables and individual bottles of Tylenol a little ... crazy? On our tour of the Prime Air facility, we saw drones being loaded with packages containing items as small as a single gift card. Even if these drones (which are all-electric) are better for the environment than a typical delivery truck, it’s an awful lot of trouble for a last-minute present. I asked Carbon if he thought that some of what customers were ordering from Prime Air was less than essential. He responded, basically, that what customers wanted was none of Amazon’s business. “The beauty of America is that people decide what they want and when they want it, not us,” he said. A smooth landing and a nosy neighbor After our tour of the facility, we drove to a house in nearby Goodyear, Arizona, that Amazon had rented for the day to show us a real drone delivery in action. When we got there, I pulled out my laptop and placed an order for Brazilian Bum Bum Cream — one of the first items that appeared on a list of Prime Air-eligible products. (Other eligible products include dog treats, dental floss and printed copies of the U.S. Constitution.) The checkout process was similar to ordering anything else from Amazon, with one extra step of selecting a spot for the drone to drop the package. Today, the drones need about 3 square meters (about 32 square feet) of open space; I chose a spot in the backyard, next to the pool. About 45 minutes after I placed my order, a drone whizzed overhead. It made a distinct humming noise — which Carbon insisted wasn’t very loud but to me sounded like an angry swarm of bees — and generated a slight breeze as it approached. Once it was over our heads, the drone descended to about 14 feet off the ground. A compartment sprang open, and the package dropped out. (The drones don’t land, Carbon said, because customers — or their dogs — might try to grab them.) Then, as speedily as it had arrived, the drone flew away. I’ll admit: It’s an impressive feat, and everything about the drone delivery was as smooth and convenient as advertised. But it also attracted some unwanted attention. Seconds after our package landed, a neighbor came over. He introduced himself as Geno and asked if we were from Amazon. He said people in the neighborhood had started to associate the whirring of drones overhead with the mystery drones in New Jersey. “You guys scared the life out of a lot of people,” he told Carbon. Changing the fear factor Today, people simply aren’t accustomed to seeing drones hovering above them, which makes them seem sinister and menacing and often leaves people grasping for paranoid explanations. (Aliens! Covert military operations! Missing radioactive material!) That may change soon. As the government pointed out during its investigation into the New Jersey drones, there are more than 1 million FAA-registered drones certified to fly in the United States today and millions more small, recreational drones that can be flown without a license. Drones are getting cheaper and more accessible, and small, lightweight quadcopters can now be purchased for under $100. In a few years, it may no longer seem notable to see a swarm of drones overhead — taking photos, dropping off packages or delivering medicine to hospitals. But technology changes faster than culture, and initial evidence suggests that drone acceptance won’t be immediate. A Florida man was arrested this year for shooting down a Walmart delivery drone that was dropping off a package in his neighborhood. (The man agreed to pay $5,000 in restitution to DroneUp, the company that owned the drone.) Referring to the recent drama of drones in New Jersey, President-elect Donald Trump suggested on social media that one solution would be to “shoot them down.” (Carbon said that none of Amazon’s drones had been shot at but that the company would prosecute anyone who tried.) Over the long term, Amazon’s job isn’t just to prove that it can deliver packages to customers in 30 minutes or less. It’s something much harder: convincing millions of Americans that when they see and hear drones overhead, their first instinct shouldn’t be to duck and cover or to reach for their guns. “Our job is to make this normal,” Carbon said. “And until it’s normal, people are always rightfully skeptical of change.” If it works, Amazon’s drone program — and others like it — will represent the biggest visible change to our skies since the advent of commercial air travel. If it doesn’t, the industry will have spent billions of dollars learning a hard lesson about our collective tolerance for flocks of flying robots. Given what’s happening in New Jersey, I’m skeptical that normalizing drones will be easy or quick, even for a company with Amazon’s resources and track record. But Carbon believes that the proof will be in the packages. “If I do my job right, no one’s going to care about the drone,” he said. “What they’re going to care about is: Did I get my package within 30 minutes?” Kevin Roose is a Times technology columnist and a host of the podcast “Hard Fork.” This article originally appeared in The New York Times .Now Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens can rest a bit. They've certainly earned it. Baltimore's 31-2 rout of Houston on Wednesday capped a sweep of a grueling stretch of three games in 11 days. Baltimore looked like a Super Bowl contender while handling the Giants, Steelers and Texans. A win next week would give the Ravens the AFC North title — and a third MVP award for Jackson seems to be very much in play. “These guys took these three games in 11 days and smashed it, obliterated it, tore it up and made into a bunch of smithereens laying around everywhere,” coach John Harbaugh said. “I’m proud of the guys (and) how they did it. They did a great job.” Jackson’s passer rating is up to 121.6 on the season. The NFL record is 122.5 by Aaron Rodgers in 2011. Derrick Henry has 1,783 yards rushing, the second most of his career. Justin Tucker, who has struggled to an alarming degree this season, made a 52-yard field goal that went right down the middle in the first quarter Wednesday. A win next week would be Baltimore's 12th of the season — only one behind the number that gave the Ravens the league's best regular-season record in 2023. They won't be the top seed this season, but a victory over Cleveland in Week 18 would mean a division title. Baltimore can also win the division if Pittsburgh loses to Cincinnati. “I believe how our season has gone — the regular season — it just explains how the NFL is. It really doesn’t matter how you start off. It’s about how you finish," Jackson said. "And I believe we’re finishing pretty well right now.” The Ravens lost their first two games of the season, but their open date came right before this tough 11-day stretch, which may have helped. Now they get some extra time to prepare for Cleveland. What's working The Ravens outrushed Houston 251-58, with Jackson scoring on a 48-yard run and Henry racing through big holes from the outset. Jackson passed Michael Vick to take over first place on the NFL's career list for yards rushing by a quarterback. The MVP odds at BetMGM on Thursday showed Buffalo’s Josh Allen (-250) as the favorite, but Jackson (+160) was by no means a long shot. “I’ve seen a lot of great plays from Lamar Jackson,” Harbaugh said. “I told him I was proud of him. I’m not just proud of him just because he makes great plays. I’m proud of him for all the things that go into making great plays and also for all the things he’s overcome along the way.” What needs work The Ravens have cycled through punt returners of late, and newcomer Steven Sims did not have much success in that area Wednesday. He was tackled at his 6-yard line on one return, and when a penalty made Houston do that punt over, the ball bounced inside the 10 and was downed at the 4, leading to a safety and the Texans' only points of the game. Stock up The Baltimore defense, such a liability at times earlier this season, held Houston without a point offensively. C.J. Stroud was sacked five times and threw an interception, and Joe Mixon rushed for only 26 yards. “I’d say we’ve come full circle,” cornerback Marlon Humphrey said. “It’s always good when you can have their offense not score. You’ve got to say you played pretty well. This is a testament to it all kind of coming together. I felt the coaching was there, and I just felt as players, ‘What is the formula to continue to get high percentages of 11 guys doing 11 guys’ jobs?’” Stock down Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali managed only 17 yards on 12 carries. Justice Hill's absence following a concussion left Baltimore without an effective change-of-pace back to pair with Henry. Injuries Ali injured his hip in the third quarter and didn’t return, another blow to Baltimore's running back depth. Key numbers After a 99-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter, the Ravens now have 10 TD drives of 90-plus yards this season. That's the most in the NFL since at least 2000. Up next The Ravens face a Cleveland team that has only three wins entering Week 17 — although one of those victories was against Baltimore. The Ravens allowed 401 yards in a 29-24 loss at Cleveland in late October. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Emboldened by the view from the top of the NFC North, the Detroit Lions are out to eliminate nightmare holiday gatherings when the Chicago Bears come to town Thursday for a lunchtime division duel. The Lions (10-1) are streaking one direction, the Bears (4-7) the other in the first matchup of the season between teams on opposite ends of the division. Riding a nine-game winning streak, their longest since a 10-game streak during their first season in Detroit in 1934, the Lions are burdened by losses in their traditional Thanksgiving Day game the past seven seasons. Three of the defeats are courtesy of Chicago. The Bears and Lions get together for the 20th time on Thanksgiving -- the Bears have 11 wins -- this week in the first of two meetings between the teams in a 25-day span. Detroit goes to Soldier Field on Dec. 22. "I think there's two things," Campbell said of the Thanksgiving losing streak. "Number one -- Get a W. And it's a division win that's why this huge. Number two is because the players are going to get a couple of days off. So, they have family, friends in, it'd be nice to feel good about it when you're with everybody because it's just not real fun. It's not real fun to be around." Detroit (10-1) owns the best record in the NFC but the Lions aren't even assured of a division title. Minnesota sits one game behind them and Green Bay is two games back. The Bears (4-7) sit in last place and would likely need to run the table to have any chance of making the playoffs. The Lions have been dominant in all phases and haven't allowed a touchdown in the past 10 consecutive quarters. Detroit's offense ranks first in points per game (32.7) and second in total yardage (394.3) The Lions defense has not given up a touchdown in the last 10 quarters. Rookie placekicker Jake Bates has made all 16 of his field goal attempts, including four from 50-plus yards over the past three games. Chicago shows up in a foul mood. The Bears are saddled with a five-game losing streak and Chicago's defense has been destroyed for nearly 2,000 total yards in the last four games. The Bears failed to reach the 20-point mark four times in five outings since they last won a game. In their latest defeat, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense perked up but they lost to Minnesota in overtime, 30-27. "We have to play complementary football for us to be able to win these games," coach Matt Eberflus said. "The games we have won, we have done that. The games we have been close we've missed the mark a little bit. Over the course of the year, it's been one side or the other, this side or that side. In this league you have to be good on all sides to win. That's what we are searching for." Williams threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. The wide receiver trio of DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Romeo Odunze combined for 21 receptions and two touchdowns while tight end Cole Kmet caught seven passes. "What I've been impressed with is just how he has grown," Campbell said. "He has grown every game but these last two I really feel like he's taken off and what they're doing with him has been really good for him and he just looks very composed. He doesn't get frazzled, plays pretty fast, and he's an accurate passer, big arm, and he's got some guys that can get open for him." Detroit's banged-up secondary could be susceptible against the Bears' veteran receivers in their bid to pull off an upset on Thursday. The Lions put two defensive backs on injured reserve in the past week and top cornerback Carlton Davis isn't expected to play due to knee and thumb injuries. Detroit offensive tackle Taylor Decker (knee) and top returner Kalif Raymond (foot) are also expected to miss the game, though Campbell expressed optimism that running back David Montgomery (shoulder), formerly of the Bears, would play. Bears safety Elijah Hicks was listed as a DNP for Tuesday's walkthrough. --Field Level Media

KyKy Tandy scored a season-high 21 points that included a key 3-pointer in a late second-half surge as Florida Atlantic roared back to beat Oklahoma State 86-78 on Thursday in the opening round of the Charleston Classic in Charleston, S.C. Florida Atlantic (4-2) advances to play Drake in the semifinal round on Friday while the Cowboys square off against Miami in the consolation semifinal contest, also Friday. Oklahoma State led by as many as 10 points in the first half before securing a five-point advantage at halftime. The Owls surged back and moved in front with four and a half minutes to play. It was part of an 11-1 run, capped by a 3-pointer from Tandy that made it 75-68 with 2:41 remaining. Ken Evans added 14 points for Florida Atlantic, with Leland Walker hitting for 13 and Tre Carroll scoring 11. The Owls went 35-of-49 from the free throw line as the teams combined for 56 fouls in the game, 33 by Oklahoma State. Khalil Brantley led Oklahoma State (3-1) with 16 points while Robert Jennings added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Cowboys, who hit one field goal over a 10-minute stretch of the second half while having three players foul out. The Owls were up by as many as seven points in the early minutes and by 13-10 after a layup by Carroll at the 11:32 mark of the first half. Oklahoma State leapfrogged to the front on Abou Ousmane's layup off a Brantley steal, fell behind again on a 3-pointer by Evans and then responded on a 3-pointer by Jennings to take a 17-16 lead. From there, the Cowboys stoked their advantage to double digits when Jamyron Keller canned a shot from beyond the arc with five minutes to play in the half. Florida Atlantic got a layup and a monster dunk from Matas Vokietaitis and a pair of free throws from Walker in a 6-2 run to end the half to pull within 39-34 at the break. Jennings and Ousmane tallied seven points apiece for Oklahoma State over the first 20 minutes, as the Cowboys led despite shooting just 33.3 percent from the floor in the half. Carroll and Vokietaitis scored seven points apiece to pace the Owls, who committed 11 turnovers that translated to seven points for Oklahoma State before halftime. --Field Level Media

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? OTTAWA – Canada’s financial intelligence agency says it is modernizing with the aim of providing valuable information to police and security officials in real time — or as close to that goal as it can get. In its newly released annual report, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada says it is working with businesses and federal partners to move more quickly in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The agency, known as Fintrac, identifies money linked to illicit activities by electronically sifting millions of pieces of information each year from banks, insurance companies, money services businesses, real-estate brokers, casinos and others. In turn, it discloses intelligence to police and security agencies about the suspected cases. In 2023-24, Fintrac produced more than 4,600 financial intelligence disclosure packages for recipients including the RCMP, municipal and provincial police, the Canada Border Services Agency and the Canada Revenue Agency. In a message in the report, Fintrac director Sarah Paquet says the agency aims to harness modern skills, tools and technologies to analyze data and produce intelligence in real time. Paquet said such swiftness could be a game-changer, for example, in the agency’s efforts to track financial transactions related to human trafficking for sexual exploitation. “It will allow us to proactively identify and assist law enforcement in disrupting networks much quicker,” she said. “This will mean rescuing victims sooner, saving them from prolonged abuse. It will mean supporting survivors sooner, getting them the assistance they need in a more timely fashion. And it will help law enforcement target, arrest and charge the traffickers sooner, preventing the abuse of new victims.” Fintrac’s digital strategy includes advancing automation, analytics and the use of artificial intelligence, Paquet said. In a bid to “stay ahead of the bad actors,” Fintrac has created a digital acceleration and modernization team “to experiment with, and exploit, the latest technologies.” Transnational organized crime groups and professional money launderers are the most prominent threats to Canada when it comes to illicit cash transactions, the report said. “At the same time, while the threat of terrorist financing is not as pronounced in Canada as it is in other regions of the world, there are networks operating in our country that are suspected of raising, collecting and transmitting funds abroad to various terrorist groups.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024.

In light of these complexities, the former Spanish Foreign Minister called for a nuanced and strategic approach to EU-China relations. He emphasized the importance of upholding shared values and principles while seeking common ground on key issues of mutual interest. By engaging in frank and constructive dialogue, both sides can work towards building a more stable and cooperative relationship that benefits not only themselves but also the international community as a whole.
