Today, around 3000 people are being treated in hospital corridors, as nurses and charities call on the government to take action as the annual NHS winter rush approaches.
As the BBC highlights the case of two-year-old Finlay Roberts who died in a hospital corridor in 2024 - a death the coroner said could have been prevented - we speak to Health Secretary Yvette Cooper about the immediate challenges facing the NHS.
Plus, Zack Polanski speaks to Laura about the Green Party's controversy over the definition of Zionism.
