Eddie Mair is with Jenny for the show today: he welcomes our guest for the show, former Liberal Democrat MP,
Jackie Ballard, who's enjoying a fresh lease of life outside Westminster as the head of the RSPCA.

He once said he had no reverse gear - and that was certainly the theme of the Prime Minister's breakfast time
speech on the NHS this morning. Despite the recent awful headlines for the government of big deficits and job
losses, Mr Blair made it clear there wasn't a Plan B for the health service. So the reforms go on - but is the
PM going to pay a political price for his radical surgery? Jenny goes to the Big Board to give us the background.
1206
Jenny talks to the independent MP Dr Richard Taylor, the former NHS consultant, who won his seat at Wire Forest by campaigning against the closure of Kidderminster hospital.
1208
Eddie's joined by the man who was in the room with the Prime Minister when he made his speech this morning, the
Labour MP and chairman of the Health Select Committee, Kevin Barron - who's also a lay member of the General Medical Council.
1214
About 3,000 young people are behind bars. But despite doing their time in young offenders'
insitutitions, most will commit more crime once they're released and many end up back in custody. So would it
be more effective, and cost the taxpayer less in the long run to do things differently? Laura's been allowed to
film a radical project where young criminals are not sent into custody but instead taken to live under strict
rules with a foster family to try and change their ways.

We round up the other stories occupying minds in Westminster this lunchtime in our Newsbelt.

With just six weeks to go till football's World Cup Finals, and once again the
country is about to delude itself into thinking that England might actually win the thing. Sven and his men
will go into training in earnest shortly, and the nation is preparing to cheer them on. But not everyone's so wild about
Wayne and the boys. Rooney and Owen may have scored some great goals but Wayne's reported £700,000 gambling
debts is just the latest example of bad behaviour which has seriously upset some of our MPs. They're going to
debate the issue of what our top footy stars get up to in a special session later today. Labour's Graham Allen is leading the charge - asked him to explain exactly what was troubling him.

Former Everton, Rangers and England footballer Trevor Steven, joins us from our Glasgow studio.

I hope Ken Livingstone said something in China about animals. Up until recently, the Chinese didn't even have a word for "animal welfare"; they do now, thanks to us.
