health secretary: Another 21 trusts would receive much smaller sums, but only to assist preparatory work for plans to take place almost a decade from now, according to The Guardian. From 40 hospitals to six how the Tories' NHS numbers don't add up Read more Speaking at a fringe event at the Conservative conference in Manchester, the health secretary, Matt Hancock, stuck to the official line, saying the government was committed to 40 new hospital projects . Hancock said the plans would survive future spending decision rounds We'll have that debate in the spending review. Labour was particularly scathing about a package of transport measures headlined with 25bn in already-declared funds for road improvements, calling it a combination of re-announcements and damp squibs . The main pre-conference spending pledge, presented as 13bn to build 40 new hospitals, fell apart after it emerged that the actual money committed so far, 3bn, would go to just six NHS trusts, which had plans already in place for hospitals in need of rebuilding. But the thing is I've got absolute rock-solid support from the prime minister for what I've needed to do. Hancock also claimed that Labour would not support the extra spending, something rejected by Jonathan Ashworth, the shadow health secretary, who said he was simply querying the opaqueness of the plans. He also said the 3bn extra would be in addition to an already announced 1.8bn tranche of funding for NHS building repairs. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

leicester trust: A further 21 trusts will get a small amount of seed-funding to kick-start their plans for the end of the next decade, according to The Guardian. Whipps Crosshospital, Epsom and St Helier trust, West Hertfordshire trust, Princess Alexandra Hospital trust, University Hospitals of Leicester trust and Leeds Teaching Hospitals trust will share 2.7bn from the Treasury, a Conservative party statement said as the party conference opened in Manchester. Prime minister Boris Johnson declared that 40 new hospitals would be built, but almost all the money earmarked will go to just six NHS trusts, which each have a major hospital badly in need of rebuilding and have had plans waiting for approval. While this money is very much needed following years of underinvestment in the NHS's crumbling infrastructure, it falls well short of the scale of the challenge, said Anita Charlesworth, head of research and economics at the Health Foundation think tank. Such piecemeal funding makes it difficult for trusts to adequately plan their spending. With a backlog of maintenance and repairs that amounts to more than 6bn - much of which threatens patient's safety and dozens of NHS trust upgrade projects that have been delayed or cancelled, the figure needed is closer to 3bn each year for the next five years.

amazon amzn: As of late, jittery investors have been seeking out value stocks those companies believed to be undervalued in the market and backing away from high-growth momentum type stocks such as Amazon AMZN, -0.83%. Our call of the day comes from a fan of value stocks Vahan Janjigian, chief investment officer at Greenwich Wealth Management, who thinks they are due for a revival after falling out of favor over the past 10 years, according to Market Watch. My view is that you always want to be investing in stocks that are selling for less than their worth, Janjigian told Market Watch in an interview. That month may already be front loaded with some extra stress, thanks to political headlines swirling around President Trump and the White House, along with trade and economic worries. He offers up three stocks he thinks investors are overlooking right now, starting with IBM IBM, -0.22%. He thinks the company, up 29% so far this year, still has a lot to offer investors. Cash flow represents money moving in and out of a corporation and if it's rising, that means there's money to reinvest, pay the bills and return cash to shareholders. While some worry the multinational technology company overpaid for the acquisition of software group Red Hat, he loves IBM for its cash flow and the fact it pays a very nice dividend.

china: They also came as China has sent out friendly signals, such as encouraging domestic companies to purchase US soybeans and pork, according to Global Times China.

The US wants to increase its bargaining chips before the new round of trade talks, while at the same time taking measures to counterbalance China, Yang Zirong, an associate research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences told the Global Times, calling such actions US hegemony. If implemented, this would affect dozens of US-listed Chinese companies, including the likes of Alibaba and Baidu.

One elderly neighbor threw a tantrum after being blocked at the gate. ; Mugabe's family earlier had agreed to a government request to bury him at a shrine in the capital but only after a hilltop mausoleum was built to set him apart from former comrades.

But on Thursday the government abruptly announced the family had changed its mind, leaving it with scaffolding around the partially completed memorial.

japan korea: If anything interferes with this bilateral trade between Japan and Korea, China's technology supply chain is going to be disrupted, Roache said in an interview in Tokyo, according to The Japan Times. Even small disruptions further upstream could have very, very large impacts downstream. While there may be isolated winners in the stock market, an ongoing dispute will have global implications, boosting production costs for technology components or cutting output, said Shaun Roache, the chief Asia-Pacific economist at S&P Global Ratings. ; If Japan stops granting export licenses, South Korea would have to either curtail production or pay a much higher price to secure crucial materials, a move that will impact China, he said. The best-case scenario is for the dispute to go away completely, but even if it is resolved, Roache sees the potential for long-term trust issues. Trust goes down. It's going to be persistent damage to trust between the two countries and trust in the global trading system, which is already what we're starting to see, he said. (news.financializer.com).
