Italy Five Star Eurosceptics vote to break link with UKIP

Image copyright Reuters Image caption M5S was founded by Beppe Grillo, a former comedian Italy"s powerful anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) has voted to break its European Parliament ties with the UK Independence Party (UKIP).
M5S members backed founder Beppe Grillo"s call to join up with the liberal bloc ALDE. That could make ALDE the parliament"s third-biggest group.
ALDE members will discuss a possible deal with M5S later on Monday.
ALDE and M5S have issued a joint manifesto for EU reform. UKIP"s Nigel Farage criticised the M5S move.
However, unlike the liberals, M5S is anti-euro and wants Italy to hold a referendum on whether to keep the single currency.
If M5S does form an alliance with ALDE, it will leave UKIP"s group – Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) – much weakened. EFDD has 22 UKIP members and 17 from M5S.

NHS hospitals break parking fees record

Image copyright PA Image caption Hospitals in England collected more than £120m in car parking fees in the last year NHS hospitals appear to be making more money than ever from parking fees.
A report from the Press Association says hospitals in England collected more than £120m last year – up by 5%.
Many trusts defended the charges, saying the money was put back into patient care or maintaining car parks.
But the chief executive of the Patients Association said it was unfair that hospital parking in Wales and Scotland was largely free, while patients in England had to pay.
Hospitals told to cut parking charges Minister urges NHS parking discounts Of the 120 trusts asked by PA, 89 responded to the Freedom of Information request on the charges.
The responses showed £120,662,650 had been collected in car park fees over 2015/16, up from £114,873,867 the year before.
