UK Hospitals Missing Cancer Target

Almost all hospital trusts in the UK are missing a major cancer target.


Patients are meant to wait no more than 62 days from diagnosis to treatment, but some are facing waits of more than 100 days.


New data shows some of the worst performers are only seeing around half of patients on time.

 

Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust in the north of England is one of only 3 trusts meeting that target.

Trump threatens higher tariffs for countries who "play games" after Supreme Court ruled tariffs illegal

US president Donald Trump has threatened to put higher tariffs on countries that want to "play games" after a key U.S. Supreme Court tariff ruling.

The US's highest court said that the levies imposed by Mr Trump last year based on a national emergency law were illegal.

In response, President Trump imposed a 15 percent tariff on global imports over the weekend and claimed that Congress had given him the power to use other kinds of tariff laws "in a much more powerful and obnoxious way, with legal certainty."
