MPs on the Health and Social Care Committee question the senior leadership of NHS England on whether the NHS is well placed to implement the Government’s three healthcare shifts. Examining the relationship between NHS England and ICSs (integrated care systems), the committee consider how the current system can support the Government’s ambition to shift care from hospital to community.
MPs pose questions on the Budget’s funding allocations for the NHS and on productivity within the NHS, as well as what the panel hopes to see from the 10 Year Health Plan. The session is an opportunity for the Committee to explore the NHS’ approach to tackling waiting lists and winter pressures.

Watch PMQs with British Sign Language (BSL) – https://youtube.com/live/gPjfHWGwA6g
Prime Minister’s Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine ‘open question’ from an MP about the Prime Minister’s engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.

Democratic Republic of the Congo

Syria
Sudan
Honour RollDemocratic Republic of the Congo
Turning to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This morning the Secretary-General spoke to the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Félix Tshisekedi, as well as with the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame. During his conversation with the President of Rwanda, they discussed the situation in the DRC, with an emphasis on the protection of civilians.
This afternoon, at 3pm, the Security Council will meet to discuss the situation in the country. Vivian van de Perre, the Deputy Special Representative for Protection and Operations for the UN peacekeeping operations – MONUSCO – is expected to brief from Goma.
On the ground, in Goma, the security situation remains extremely volatile. M23 forces are inside the city and UN peacekeeping personnel and troops have largely been forced to take shelter in bunkers.
Medical facilities in Goma are reportedly overwhelmed, and essential services are disrupted.
Currently, M23 forces control the airport and there are real risks of breakdown of law and order in the city. The Mission has also seen credible reports of prisoners who have escaped from the Goma prison, as well as looting by civilians. Non-essential UN personnel have been temporarily relocated from Goma and the surrounding area.
The movement of essential supplies and personnel is an urgent concern. Armed clashes continue in multiple regions, including Masisi, Rutshuru, and Nyiragongo, further displacing civilians and complicating humanitarian efforts.
Peacekeepers also report that protests in Kinshasa over the ongoing situation in eastern DRC have turned violent, with demonstrators setting fires outside UN premises [MONUSCO and UN agencies] and targeting several embassies. Looting has also been reported in Kinshasa.
For its part, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs tells us that the humanitarian situation in and around Goma remains worrying. Hospitals in Goma continue to be overwhelmed, struggling to manage the influx of wounded people.
Two ambulances from a local NGO were targeted in the city of Goma today while attempting to evacuate wounded people.
According to humanitarian partners, there are also reports of gender-based violence; the looting of property, including several humanitarian warehouses; and humanitarian and health facilities being struck in the fighting.
Electricity and water supplies are still disrupted. The phone network is operational, but the Internet is not.
OCHA reiterates that all parties must do all they can to spare civilians in military operations. Schools, hospitals and other civilian infrastructure must be protected.
If the situation remains calm tomorrow, aid workers are planning to resume their efforts to respond to the enormous humanitarian needs.
WFP tells us that access to food in Goma has been impacted. They remain focused on supporting the 7.1 million most vulnerable women, men, and children and also aim to resume delivering assistance as soon as circumstances allow.Paris Agreement
The United States of America notified the Secretary-General, in his capacity as depositary, of its withdrawal, on 27 January 2025, from the Paris Agreement of 12 December 2015.
The United States had signed the Paris Agreement on 22 April 2016 and expressed its consent to be bound by the Agreement by acceptance on 3 September 2016.
It then withdrew from the Agreement effective on 4 November 2020, before accepting it again as of 19 February 2021.
According to Article 28, paragraph 2, of the Paris Agreement, the withdrawal of the United States will take effect on 27 January 2026.
The UN reaffirms its commitment to the Paris Agreement and to support all efforts to limit the rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius.Deputy Secretary-General/Travels
The Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J. Mohammed, attended the second and final day of the Africa Energy Summit in Tanzania today. In her opening remarks, she called on the African leaders present to advance energy access by 2030. To realize this vision, the Deputy Secretary-General stressed the need for strong institutions, effective multilateral cooperation and investments from the public and private sectors to scale up implementation of energy projects.
The Deputy Secretary-General engaged with Heads of State and Government, ministers, and other high-level representatives to discuss cooperation with the United Nations towards achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement.
She will return to New York on Wednesday.Full highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=28%20January%202025

During the first panel, the Committee will hear evidence from Lina Khatib, Chatham House MENA expert and fellow and Simon Collis, the former UK Ambassador to Syria. The panel will examine the factors that led to the fall of Assad and will also assess the stability of the current regime, led by Islamic militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Questions are likely to cover whether HTS has truly departed from its jihadist and fundamentalist origins. Members are likely to ask about the role of outside powers in the fall of the Assad regime, including Turkey, Russia, the US, Israel and Iran.
Richard Barrett, former Director of Counter-terrorism at MI6 and former head of the UN al-Qaeda/Taliban Monitoring Team, will give evidence in the second panel. During this panel, the Committee will focus on the security situation in northeast Syria, the stability of detention camps and prisons housing Islamic State foreign fighters, and the likelihood of the Islamic State exploiting the new situation in Syria.

This morning, the Secretary-General spoke at the General Assembly on the Observance of the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.
The Secretary-General said the ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas offers hope, as well as much needed relief. He added that the United Nations will do its utmost to ensure it leads to the release of all hostages and a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
The Secretary-General also said that today we mourn the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators, as they sought to destroy an entire people.
We grieve the Roma and Sinti also targeted for genocide, the people with disabilities, LGBTIQ+ people, and all those enslaved, persecuted, tortured, and killed.
And we renew our resolve never to forget the atrocities that so “outraged the conscience” of humankind.
The Secretary-General also underscored that remembrance is not only a moral act. Remembrance is a call to action. He added that it is our duty to speak up against hate, to stand up for the human rights for all, and to make all those rights a reality.SUDAN
In a statement issued today, the Secretary-General strongly condemned the attack that hit the Saudi Teaching Hospital in El Fasher in Sudan’s North Darfur state on 24 January, in which at least 70 patients and their relatives were reportedly killed, with dozens more wounded.
This appalling attack which affected the only functioning hospital in Darfur’s largest city comes after more than 21 months of war have left much of Sudan’s health care system in tatters.
The Secretary-General reiterated that, under international humanitarian law, the wounded and the sick, as well as medical personnel and medical facilities, must be respected and protected at all times. He further recalled that perpetrators of serious violations of international humanitarian law must be held accountable, and that the deliberate targeting of health care facilities may constitute a war crime.
The Secretary-General renewed his appeal to the parties to immediately cease the fighting and take steps towards the lasting peace that the people of Sudan demand.
And on Friday night, another statement was issued on the recent escalation of fighting in Sudan, in particular around the al-Jili oil refinery north of Khartoum, as well as in El Fasher.
The Secretary-General renewed his call for urgent and genuine dialogue between the parties to the conflict, reiterating that a sustainable resolution to the conflict can only be achieved through an inclusive political process. He added that his Personal Envoy, Ramtane Lamamra, continues to engage the parties and all relevant stakeholders to de-escalate the conflict and promote a Sudanese-led inclusive dialogue that will bring a sustained end to the war.US FOREIGN ASSISTANCE
In a statement issued today, the Secretary-General noted with concern the announcement of a pause in U.S. foreign assistance. He called for additional exemptions to be considered to ensure the continued delivery of critical development and humanitarian activities for the most vulnerable communities around the world, whose lives and livelihoods depend on this support.
The Secretary-General said that he looks forward to engaging with the new United States administration on the provision of much needed development support to people grappling with the most difficult challenges confronting the developing world. The United States is one of the largest aid providers and it is vital that we work constructively to jointly shape a strategic path forward.Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=27%20January%202025

MIL-OSI Video: Democratic Republic of the Congo: Situation is volatile and dangerous – Presser | United Nations
Source: United Nations (Video News)
Press Conference by Mr. Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations and Mr. Bruno Lemarquis, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
———————-
Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix said the situation on the ground in DRC “remains volatile and dangerous.”
During a press briefing at the United Nations headquarters today (27 Jan) Lacroix said, “The civilian population in a region that is already massively affected, and where the humanitarian challenges are daunting, certainly the risks of a broader humanitarian disaster are very high. And of course, we also want to avoid the risk of a broader war.”
To ensure the safety of UN personnel, the mission has begun evacuating staff from Goma “by air and road.”
Lacroix noted that the safety and security of the UN personnel “is and must be paramount.”Despite the challenging environment, MONUSCO continues its efforts to protect civilians and stabilize the region, “and that includes disarming combatants in conformity with international humanitarian law. There are significant numbers of civilians and also disarmed combatants that are currently in various MONUSCO premises,” Lacroix noted.
Bruno Lemarquis, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General said, “With close to 6.5 million displaced people in the country, including close to 3 million displaced people in North Kivu, over one-third of the population of North Kivu is already displaced,” in addition to the new Goma crisis unfolding.
Lemarquis described the dire conditions faced by civilians as fighting spreads across Goma. “The humanitarian situation in and around Goma is extremely, extremely worrying, with new thresholds of violence and suffering reached today, as active zones of combat have spread to all quarters of the city—all the neighborhoods of the city. Civilians are bearing the brunt of the escalating hostilities. This morning, heavy artillery fire was directed at the city center,” he reported.
Hospitals in Goma are struggling to cope. “Hospitals in Goma are overwhelmed in spite of the support provided, for example, by MSF and ICRC. They are struggling to manage the influx of wounded people,” Lemarquis said, highlighting that the General Hospital, with a capacity of 146 beds, was treating 259 patients, including 90 civilians, just three days ago.
Basic services have also been severely disrupted, with water and electricity compromised and Internet service cut as of 1 p.m. Monday. “Phone networks remain operational, but it’s patchy and not helping the humanitarian response and coordination,” Lemarquis explained.
Amid these challenges, the UN is relocating personnel and their families to safety. “We have taken both our international personnel and national personnel and their dependents to two locations—one in-country, Kinshasa, and the other one in Entebbe, where we have a large UN base,” Lemarquis said.
Lacroix emphasized the importance of regional cooperation to resolve the crisis. “The recent announcement of an upcoming meeting of the AU Peace and Security Council is very important. We look forward to further engagement by the African Union in the efforts that are currently being made with a view to bringing about the cessation of hostilities. We count on the AU’s involvement in those efforts,” he said.

Opening remarks by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, at the Holocaust Memorial Ceremony 2025 – International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
———
UN chief said, “The history of the Holocaust shows us what can happen when people choose not to see and not to act.”Addressing the annual ceremony in remembrance of the victims and survivors of the Holocaust today (27 jan), Secretary-General António Guterres said, “I want to acknowledge that more than a year has passed since the appalling 7th October terror attacks by Hamas. We welcome, at long last, the ceasefire and hostage release deal. The deal offers hope, as well as much needed relief. The United Nations will do our utmost to ensure it leads to the release of all hostages and a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.”
He also said, “The responsibility belongs to every one of us. Remembrance is not only a moral act. Remembrance is a call to action. To allow the Holocaust to fade from memory would dishonour the past and betray the future.”
He continued, “Hatred is being stirred-up across the globe. One of the clearest and most troubling examples is the spreading cancer of Holocaust denial. Indisputable historical facts are being distorted, diminished, and dismissed. Efforts are being made to recast and rehabilitate Nazis and their collaborators. We must stand up to these outrages.”
Philémon Yang, President of the 79th Session of the General Assembly said, “We must never forget that the Holocaust did not begin in the gas chambers; it began in the minds of people, fueled by hate speech, propaganda, and systemic discrimination.”
Isaac Herzog, President of the State of Israel, said, “On this historic day, we must commit to joining hands to defeat darkness and hatred, and work together to ensure the building of a shared future. This is the vow we must share, all of us, the family of nations: That what happened once, will never happen again.”
Dumitru Miclescu, Roma survivor of the Holocaust stated, “Even today, in Romania, people do not know this history. Instead of calling it the genocide in Transnistria, they refer to it as the deportations from Transnistria. I want to be clear: what we lived through was a genocide—mass killings and injustice. Just because we were born Roma or Jewish.”

MIL-OSI Video: International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust – UN Chief message
Source: United Nations (Video News)
Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.
“This year marks the eightieth anniversary of the Holocaust’s end.
We mourn the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators, as they sought to destroy an entire people.We grieve the Roma and Sinti, the people with disabilities, and all others enslaved, persecuted, tortured, and killed.
We stand alongside victims, survivors and their families.
And we renew our resolve never to forget.
To allow the Holocaust to fade from memory would dishonour the past and betray the future.
Remembrance is a moral act. And a call to action.
To know the history of the Holocaust is to know the depths to which humanity can sink…
To understand how the Nazis were able to commit their heinous crimes, with the complicity of others…
And to comprehend that each of us has a solemn duty – to speak-up against hate, and to stand-up for the human rights of all.
Following the hell of the Holocaust, countries came together. And they enshrined the dignity of every person in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In dark times, that document remains a shining light.
Eighty years since the Holocaust’s end, antisemitism is still with us – fuelled by the same lies and loathing that made the Nazi genocide possible.
And it is rising.
Discrimination is rife…
Hate is being whipped-up the world over…
Indisputable historical facts are being distorted, diminished, and denied…
And efforts are being made to recast and rehabilitate Nazis and their collaborators.
We must stand up to these outrages.
In these days of division – and more than a year since the appalling 7th October terror attacks by Hamas – we must hold fast to our common humanity.
We must condemn antisemitism – just as we must condemn all forms of racism, prejudice and religious bigotry.
And we must renew our resolve to defend the dignity and human rights of all.
Those causes go to the very core of the United Nations.
We will never forget – and we will never waver in that fight”.
