The British government announced thorough review of BBC ahead of charter renewal



The British government has set out its intention to conduct a thorough review of the operations of the BBC, the British Broadcasting Corporation, as the broadcaster negotiates the renewal of its charter in 2016. 

Culture Secretary John Whittingdale launched a consultation paper on the corporation's future with questions including how the BBC  is funded, whether its programmes cater for all tastes and if it stifles competition from other media. 

The paper will also investigate alternatives to the BBC licence fee, something every person with a television is forced to pay for whether they watch the BBC or not.

A public consultation will now follow.

UK hospital doctors may be forced to work weekends to cut deaths


Britain's Health Secretary is threatening to force senior hospital doctors to work at weekends, in a bid to cut patient deaths over these days.  

Jeremy Hunt has said he is prepared to impose seven-day working on hospital consultants who can currently opt out of weekend work, although they are expected to be on call. 

Mr Hunt said the "Monday to Friday" culture in hospitals meant around six thousand people die each year because of this. 

The British Medical Association says the union supports more seven day working but has serious concerns about workload. 

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt says its imperative the two sides come to an agreement.

Greek vote to accept the bailout deal spurs action


Greek PM Alexis Tsipras has won a crucial late night parliamentary vote backing the 86 billion euro bailout package agreed with international creditors.  Although he lost the support of more than 30 MPs from his Syriza party, his government is expected to survive.

A spokesman for Mr Tsipras says the Greek leader is now focused on completing the deal.

Eurozone finance ministers will discuss the vote in a conference call while also considering short-term emergency funding until the new bailout is finalized. 

The European Commission has proposed giving Greece a €7bn "bridging" loan from an EU-wide fund to help the country pay debt interest due in several days.

Finance expert Henk Potts told London's LBC radio the vote will spur activity on a number of fronts.
