That. And going onto the deserve that. And going onto the mirror, this is no way to run a country, they have picked up on the Photo Caption there as he holds his mug of tea. It is a good prop, anyway. The next question is, the universities and how theyre going to sort this out because they have given a lot of places to people who did get the grades and others of deferred and gone to their second choice and not of the greats have been upgraded, what happens and they wa nt to been upgraded, what happens and they want to go back to the first choice . If yes, many of these places are full and theres the double complication in regards to the social distancing requirement of the universities and there will probably be able to house more students and they wouldve done and so theres this double bind that they have been in and some this could have been
mitigated by this u turn being sensible but some of these have far more issues facing universities than just the headaches that have been forced on them by the government intransigence and the question of social distancing is the fact that its highly diminished for many of the students were going but the foreign students, i think all of these things collectively represent a perfect storm of universities and it is not at all obvious how theyre going to make up the funding and thereve been with springs that im not sure if this be an entirely bad things that some of the universities will be able to stay afloat and that is probably the direction never going to be going in. People have been treating this as something of a cash cow if it is many students and is possible to lecture halls and i think the current circumstances, perhaps many students will look at this what they have to offer and
what better would be appropriate for them. Juste final juste final comment, how far do you think he has . There no call from the stand down and maybe its not a job that people wanted them on with the return to school in a few weeks time now that is going to work out . There have been calls from some senior conservatives for him to go to consider his position in that english praise the reuse he is not going to go because at least a couple weeks time, children are going to start going back to school and that is a massive challenge and changing the education secretary a couple weeks ahead is pretty far fetched but that will have damages reputation enormously and do not forget that he is a former chief web. And he knows about everything
about everybody. And photographed in that picture today, and with the actual whip on his office. But its not actually a wip any more. Talking about president lukashenko. He says over his dead body will he resign but perhaps well look at a new referendum. Where does this play and what russia will do about it because they have been at odds with belarus. Yes, they have and for right now, for russia, trying to annex belarus will be too big a step and it would be in their interest for lukashenko to stay as he is. It is very much on a knife edge. The decision to rigged
the election quite so overtly as he did by announcing that he secured 80 of the vote, i think there was a sense of a dictator who has been in power for 26 years has grown complacent and its up overplaying his hand in this coupled with some pre existing dissatisfactions of built up to something of a perfect storm and the scale of the protest is truly extraordinary but i do not think that we should, not think will be toppled anytime soon. We are out of time sol be toppled anytime soon. We are out of time so i will save your comments for belarus but for the time being, thank you both very much for the first look at the papers.

big problem that we have had and she isjust, in a way, a victim of the whole thing. He should have never been put his manager. He was the fourth choice and the other said no at the time injanuary, they were approached, but there was nobody else and they want to get rid of him. And as you say, it was a bit of a disaster.

Adapting to life during the covid 19 outbreak but it was the
long term future that he was worried about. If you look at the younger players coming through, theyre not that good. Theyre so bad that a lot of them that you see now, you think i would have probably have to lose an arm and a leg to fall out of the top 15. Those words probably provided no comfort to a sport trying to boost participation numbers. To your events were at an all time low and but we have seen is all time low and but we have seen is a steady increase in the last few years, we have seen the huge increase. Osullivan won his title in1993, increase. Osullivan won his title in 1993, aged just 17 and while he doesnt know how many francis got left, he has been inspiring players for generations.

school qualifying tournament to stress the strength of his game. Im just going to see how it is and take the experience from it. Maybe in the second year, hopefully do like some tournaments but im just going to go after the experience and see what its like. For most young players, its like. For most young players, its about making into the profession tour, but a venue like this in plenty of practice hours. Ronnie sullivans comments could provide extra motivation for those in the next generation and they may be across the table him and able to let the game do the talking. And thats all the sport for now. Hello there. Monday was another day of impressive cloudscapes across the uk but big lumpy clouds like these tend to produce intense downpours
and thunderstorms, and that is exactly what we saw. This is the radar picture. It shows that those showers and storms look quite extensive across england and wales. Some of them were heavy enough to give some localised flooding but equally a few spots fell between the showers and stayed completely dry. And tuesday is going to be a similar sort of day. Some slightly more persistent rain though across north wales and Northern England for a time and generally quite a cloudy start across the north of the uk. For scotland, the skies should brighten. Well see some sunshine but a scattering of heavy showers into the afternoon, these could give some localised flooding. Not quite as many showers further south at this stage through the midlands, wales, east anglia, towards the south of england. But again where they do show up, they are likely to be heavy and thundery. Top temperatures between 18 23 celsius. Now, most of the showers will fade during tuesday evening but into the early hours of wednesday, rain will swing its way in from the south west and this signals the start of a very unsettled spell of weather. In fact, this is more of an autumnal
weather chart than one youd expect to see during the summer. Low pressure firmly in charge. Thats going to bring some outbreaks of rain at times through the middle part of the week. But also, some very, very strong winds unusually strong winds for this time of year and that could cause some disruption. Now on wednesday, its likely well see outbreaks of rain drifting northwards across much of england and wales, into Northern Ireland and perhaps southern scotland by the end of the afternoon but the winds will be picking up all the while from the south west. Gusts of a0 mph or more for exposed coasts here. Temperatures on wednesday, well, no great shakes for the time of year. 18 22 celsius. Now, it stays unsettled and very windy as you move out of wednesday into thursday. Low pressure still firmly in charge, various frontal systems swinging around the low and quite a few white lines, isobars, on the chart. That shows that it will be windy. These are the wind gusts we can expect. It will be windy for all parts
of the uk but particularly for western coasts where wind gusts are likely to get to 40 50 mph. Pretty unusual for this time of year.
