Nato says russia must allow an International Investigation into the poisoning of alexei navalny, a leading critic of the kremlin. Good afternoon. The government has admitted the difference in new uk quarantine rules is confusing for travellers. Many holidaymakers and travel companies have said theyre frustrated and angry after wales and scotland imposed new quarantine restrictions on people coming back from portugal and parts of greece, while england and Northern Ireland didnt make any changes. 0ur europe correspondent, gavin lee,
s in faro with the latest. People going on holiday have become used to this weekly decision, usually the uk as a whole whether it is for spain or france or croatia, people have to go back and quarantine. We have seen the rush weekly. Today however things are different, more complicated, because suddenly wales, scotland saying portugal is an absolute now goes down because of covid 19 and england and northern down because of covid i9 and england and Northern Ireland site is currently safe. The effect on the ground, we have been taking a look. Back to britain from faro airport this morning. Where you are going back to now dictates where you have to isolate. Whether you have two. Theres been no indication from the government. This couple are heading to birmingham. They dont need to quarantine time but they bought early tickets home. We are not very happy. We feel we have lost two
days of our holidays. It has cost us an arm and a leg. We are just very disappointed. Ron and his children are cutting their holiday short by four days when ultimately there was no need to. So we paid just over £1000 for three. Going back to manchester. And the flight on monday hasjust gone. It would be good if the government could all get together and come up with one set of policies which are applied reasonably consistently. As more british tourists return home it is clear to me how confusing many people find the new rules. For example, if youre an english traveller flying to cardiff today you can drive back, wont have to self isolate. But if youre a welsh and land in birmingham today, you will then go back and have to spend the next two weeks in isolation. This new way of travelling has just become even more complicated. So just how do the uk nations differ on quarantine . If you fly from six greek islands and live in wales you have to self isolate for 14 days. If you live in scotland, now the whole of greece is on the quarantine list. There are no restrictions in england and Northern Ireland. If you arrived from portugal and live in wales you will have to self isolate from today. It is the same for scotland. But the new rules come in tomorrow. Again there are no new restrictions for england and Northern Ireland. Portugal has seen a rise in coronavirus cases in recent days, going just above the uk margin of safety of 20 cases per 100,000 people. But the tourist destinations of the algarve are not the problem. So why are politicians taking such different approaches . We look at the data and then we do speak, but im afraid quite often coming to slightly different outcomes. I am wont wait if there is a larger tide of infections from these parts of europe. This is about keeping the world safe. It is estimated more than 30,000 uk holiday makers have headed out here since the travel corridor opened two weeks ago. Golf and good weather a magnet for all the travellers for so called silver season. But arrivals this morning were much quieter than usual. The money and complexity of taking an unpredictable break may now not be worth the gamble for many. Leeds is the latest in a growing list of cities across the country for infection rates have risen to the point where more action people in leeds are being warned to follow coronavirus guidelines or face new restrictions. Cases in the city are rising and the local council says the community has reached a pivotal moment. It comes as the government says the reproduction, or r number of covid i9 in the uk remains between 0. 9 and 1. 1, indicating that the rate of infection is most likely either broadly stable or slightly growing. Heres our Health Correspondent richard galpin. Leeds is the latest in a growing
list of cities across the country where infection rates have risen to the point where more action may need to be taken. Its expected the city will be added to Public Health englands watch list of areas of concern. And local officials are preparing for the possibility of imposing further measures. Well be keeping a very close eye over the next couple of weeks. And what we would expect in the first place, if there is any change, is just restrictions of movement rather than, its premature to talk about lockdowns at this stage, but clearly if its felt there does need to be restrictions of movement, for example, then that is something of course that we will have to put into place. For those living here the prospect of more restrictions is bleak. It cant be good for businesses and the economy cant really afford us to go into another real lockdown. But health and safety
has to come first. I know that if it was my grandparents at risk, i would want us to go into another lockdown to save them. Everybody has to be responsible. I dont know how things can really be helped or anything other than people taking ownership and getting on with, you know, following the rules and restrictions and things. The figures are clear. Cases of coronavirus in leeds have been rising steadily over the past week. 55 new cases, according to figures yesterday. And all this inevitable, say experts, due to the rising cases across West Yorkshire as a whole, particularly amongst young adults. Independent sage were calling, as were others, for a zero covid strategy over the summer, and that was to push the infection rates down as low as they could be, as has happened in scotland, and to get the test track trace and isolate system fully functional so that you could
stamp down on these research agencies. Now they didnt do that. Resurgencies. So we are where we are. Alongside leeds there are other hotspots in the north of england, such as bolton. These areas have also seen cases of coronavirus rise recently. With winter approaching, the battle with the virus is set to intensify. Richard galpin, bbc news. New zealand says a man infected with coronavirus has died the first such death in the country since may. The Health Ministry said the man was in his 50s. He is only the 23rd person to have died with the coronavirus in new zealand. The country appeared to have succeeded in curbing Community Transmission of the virus until a fresh cluster emerged in the city of auckland. Freight and haulage firms are warning of a looming crisis in uk border plans when the brexit transition period ends
on the 31st of december. The Road Haulage Association says the the supply chain of goods could become a disaster area with rocket boosters on. The firms want to meet ministers to discuss concerns about it systems, border infrastructure and the training of customs agents. 0ur Political Correspondent iain watson told me about the strong words from the Haulage Companies. Thats right. You could never confuse them with diplomats, could you . They are saying that the governments problems are very serious, that the preparations so far are a shambles and that ministers are sleepwalking to disaster. Now, what is causing these criticisms . Well, deal or no deal with brussels, we will definitely be leaving the Eus Customs Union on december the 31st, and that will have consequences. For example, 220 million new Customs Declarations may have to be filled in, and the Logistics Companies are saying they will need
customs agents to help with all this new bureaucracy. But they say there is simply not enough of them. They are also worried that britain wont be ready in other ways, too it systems wont be up and running on time. They are also worried too about the numbers of border staff that may well be in place and border infrastructure. So they have got pretty wide ranging criticisms. In response, the government says, look, first of all, we are investing in border infrastructure and we are trying to train up these customs agents that might be able to help with the bureaucracy. They are also suggesting, though, that perhaps some of the criticisms may turn out to be overblown. So, for example, the transport secretary grant shapps, again, he was suggesting that hed dealt with all sorts of cataclysmic scenarios so far, and supply chains were under severe pressure over the past six months because of covid. But those supply chains, which ultimately put food on supermarket shelves and get parts to factories, they had all held up, and he was confident that once we leave the transition period
at the end of this year, that those supply chains will remain secure. Formal construction work is finally Getting Started on the controversial hs2 rail link. Its the biggest Infrastructure Project in europe and could cost more than £100 billion. The government claims more than 20,000 jobs will be created in the first phase to link london and birmingham. But critics say the project will actually cost jobs and damage the environment. Theo leggett reports. This is a highly symbolic moment for hs2. You the project has been plagued by years of delays and rising costs, is furious arguments raged over whether or not it should go ahead at all. But no construction on the 140 mile route from london to birmingham can officially begin. In fact, a great deal of work demolishing buildings, clearing sites and preparing the route has already been carried out. The first phase of hs2 will require
a 32 miles of new tunnels. There will be 110 embankments, 70 cuttings and 150 bridges. All of this will require a Million Tonnes of steel. But it comes as a heavy price. But it comes at a heavy price. The first part of hs2 alone is expected to cost at least £35 billion. A second phase, extending the line to manchester and leeds, could take the total bill to more than 100 billion. Critics say the money could be better spent improving existing transport links. The government disagrees. I think in the end will be very pleased that we do have additional rail capacity in the country. I think we need it. If you like, today is a sign of confidence in the future of our country. The company in charge of the project says some 82,000 newjobs will be created over the next two years. Including 2000 apprentices. Opponents of the scheme, which remains highly controversial, are not impressed. From their own figures, it shows over 19,000 jobs will be displaced, purely got rid of because hsz is shutting down businesses that have those jobs. So these 22,000 jobs sound great, but when you compare that to the number ofjobs going because hsz is being built, its a drop in the ocean. But others say it is essential to take the long view. Hsz has been ten years or more in the planning. It will be ten years or more in the building. It will last for decades beyond that. Nobody really knows what this country will look like in 50 years time, but i think it will be a better country of people can easily move around it. If people can. With construction starting and shovels now officially on the ground, there are no longer seems much doubt that hs2 will get the go ahead. But protests like this one today will continue regardless. And arguments about whether or not the lighting should be built look like they will carry on for years. Line should be. Theo leggett, bbc news. And the last few minutes Boris Johnson has been visiting and hs2 construction site as a project gets under way, as you were hearing, after a ll under way, as you were hearing, after all the years of increasing costs. 0n on hsz, 0n hs2, first of all, is it Still Necessary in light of covid 19 and the changing working conditions . Are we seeing the death of the office . Should we see the death of hs2 . We seeing the death of the office . Should we see the death of h52 . M course i think loads of people had the benefit of working from home, it has been magnificent and has enhanced people because my quality of in many ways, and i congratulate people on my hard work they have put
in from home. But i have absolutely no doubt that mass transit, transport infrastructure is going to be crucial for transport infrastructure is going to be crucialfor our transport infrastructure is going to be crucial for our country, not just now but in the decades ahead. This incredible project is going to be delivering 22,000 jobs. Tens of thousands more, high skilljobs in the decades ahead. Linking birmingham to london, 30 minutes when hs2 is built. That is borisjohnson in solihull, and part of the hs2 construction works. Gareth dennis is an engineer and writer who specialises in transport systems. Let us pick up on the point that was put to the Prime Minister. Covid 19, Coronavirus Crisis has shown a lot of people quite enjoy working from home, maybe people will not want to use railways as much as they have donein use railways as much as they have done in the past. 0ther
use railways as much as they have done in the past. Other the Prime Minister insists that mass transit is very much here to stay. Yes, not eve ryo ne is very much here to stay. Yes, not everyone has had a brilliant time working from home, it has worked for summer working from home, it has worked for summer not others. It has not been great for my mental health. Not a rosy picture. If we step back a look at the bigger picture, only about one infour at the bigger picture, only about one in four people can work from home at all. Theirjob is do not a lwa ys home at all. Theirjob is do not always allow it. Lots of people require to be somewhere to do their job. Before covid 19, only 5 of people work from home. Even if that doubles, you will be looking at only 10 of people actually working from home. Those people are generally in hiring income brackets, men, privileged backgrounds, comparatively. It is something we need to think about. Working from home, it is not a radical change in some people might picture. The other point is, we have to think beyond that, hsz point is, we have to think beyond that, hs2 is a piece of infrastructure that will be here for
a century or two centuries. The trend very much means Climate Change, and the important thing we need to do is keep moving things, the fact that people move by road, 88 of people and things move one road, moving was sustainable modes. The Prime Minister says it is an incredible project but plenty would disagree saying it is vastly, the costelow are vastly inflated, they have gone up and up, spiralled, the delays have been remarkable. In the end, it is a waste of time and money. Yes, so for starters, Civil Engineering projects, they generally are off to a rocky start at the uk. We have a strained relationship with big infrastructure, as i am sure people in london looking at the crossrail delays can attest. But it is really important that we split up the idea there is an impact on taxpayers from the borrowing. Totally separate. Capital projects come from borrowing against future returns, as households, National Finances do not work like household finances. We are not losing money when we invest in hs2. We can continue to borrow more so there is a justification for borrowing more than just a justification for borrowing more thanjust for a justification for borrowing more than just for hs2, growing a justification for borrowing more thanjust for hs2, growing our ability to move people and things around with reduced Carbon Emissions. The cost question is a red herring, actually we need to be investing far more of our gdp and sustainable transport project, not just Major Projects like hs2 but also in city and urban redevelopment projects, metro lines in leeds, bristol as well as manchester and birmingham. You said at the beginning we need hs2 to help save the planet, for reasons of the environment, a lot of people would say it is destroying the environment, destroying villages, lovely swathes of countryside. Those people generally are doing their
best to paint hs2 as some sort of destructive monster but actually the reality is different. 0n Carbon Emissions, the entire Carbon Emissions, the entire Carbon Emissions from both the construction and operation of hs2 are equivalent to about one month of road transport emissions. The important thing that gets lost is that hs2 themselves have done an absolutely appalling job, dreadfuljob of explaining what hs2 is for. The most important thing that hsz hs2 is for. The most important thing that hs2 achieves, the main benefit is not on hs2 but on existing Railway Networks, so when you stand on smaller stations like Hemel Hempstead or some other stations in and around birmingham, at rush hour may be have two trains and maybe 15 trains ways through without stopping because they are on their way towards london or up towards manchester. The challenge, the point with hs2 is to move those trades onto dedicated lice are the existing Railway Network and run much more efficiently, run lots more trains, which means you get more local
commuter and indeed Regional Services plus the ability to tra nsfer Services Plus the ability to transfer freight off our roads onto the railway. Hs2 has been poorly explained, and as a result there is this build up of environmental opposition which really come from a position of not understanding what project is for and how important it is to reduce our overall transport emissions. Thank you for giving as your explanation of hs2. Good to talk to. The headlines on bbc news. The government has admitted the difference in new uk quarantine rules is confusing for travellers. People in leeds are being warned to follow coronavirus guidelines or face new restrictions. There are claims of a looming crisis in britains supply chains and possible shortages when the brexit transition ends. Nato has called for an International Investigation into the alleged poisoning of the russian Opposition Leader alexei navalny. He remains in an induced coma in a hospital in berlin, recovering from what german Officials Say was a novichok nerve agent attack on an internal flight in russia last month. Nato says moscow has serious questions to answer. 0ur security correspondent Frank Gardner reports. Still critically ill, still in a berlin hospital, russias most prominent government critic, alexei navalny, poisoned, say his doctors, with a novichok nerve agent on a flight across russia. Now nato and the west are demanding answers from moscow. Nato allies agree that russia now has serious questions it must answer. The russian government must fully cooperate with the organisation for the prohibition of chemical weapons on an impartial International Investigation. Those responsible for this attack must be held accountable and brought to justice. Here the foreign secretary, dominic raab, called the poisoning
of utterly deplorable. He is insisting on the full and transparent investigation. The kremlin says it will investigate what it complains it has not been shown any evidence of poisoning. Translation our specialists are carrying out checks, investigative actions. If there is a confirmation of the presence of poisonous substances, there is no doubt an investigation will be launched. We are asking everybody to rely on the fa cts. There are disturbing echoes here of what happened in salisbury more than two years ago. A novichok nerve agent developed in soviet laboratories was used to poison the former russian kgb defector Sergei Skripal and his daughter. Britain blamed it on two Russian Military intelligence officers. Moscow denied responsibility. Then there was alexander litvinenko, anotherformer kgb officer. He died in a London Hospital in 2006, after his
assassins slipped radioactive polonium into his tea. Today, his widow says russia cannot be trusted with an investigation. Unfortunately, russia is not a democratic country right now. Its a lot of signs of dictatorship regime. In doing business as a dictatorship regime you have a different approach. And everything what you try to do as you did before, you cant say now is business as usual. All this throws an uncomfortable spotlight on president putin and the kremlin dealership. Leadership. But mr navalny, who campaigned against corruption and many powerful enemies in russia, despite the global outrage, it is possible we may never learn the truth of who poisoned him. Frank gardner, bbc news. David clark is an independent Foreign Policy analyst. The nato calling for a full International Investigation, not
much chance russia is going to comply. No, the only way that roger is great to involve itself in any International Enquiry will be to throw a smoke screen to try and obscure the truth. The International Community will have to rely on its own resources to establish the truth. If this was ultimately the work of the kremlin, do you get the sense they almost do not mind every body knowing that they have done this . It was novichok, it seems, the same thing used in salisbury, all the hallmarks of Russian Security services, and almost as if they are sending a blatant message to their critics. There is an element of that, i think whoever organises an attack probably did not want the world to know the truth, but at the same time it is quite clear that the are not too troubled by the knowledge that the world knows what happens. That is why they were willing to let alexi novelli leave
for germany. What action can the rest of the world take . We have heard lots today, from the foreign secretary. Alexei navalny. What can they do . The first thing is to make sure there is a proper enquiry held by the organisation for the prohibition of chemical weapons, the use of those in any context is illegal, russia is a signatory of the chemical weapons convention. An enquiry by them is an essential element in establishing the truth that russia cannot deny. 0nce element in establishing the truth that russia cannot deny. Once that has happened, International Committee has to look at a range of options, including targeted sanctions and other similar measures. In the end, president putin knows there are not really going to be any serious replications . That depends, at the moment there is a vacuum because of the presence of President Trump in
the presence of President Trump in the united states, ifjoe biden wins the united states, ifjoe biden wins the presidency in november, that will change quite rapidly. Then we will change quite rapidly. Then we will have the possibility of some proper pushback and proper measures. There has not been much from President Trump on this, has there . He has not said anything. No, it is not on his agenda. That is one of the reasons why putin feels that he can get away with it. Probably one of the reasons of the timing of this attack. I suppose the issue is, well what happened to alexei navalny, will it frighten the criminals other critics inside russia and outside . And that maybe nobody will feel safe . I think that is part of the reason for this, there is nothing about moving alexei navalny, a demonstrative thing about theirs, showing the reach of russian power, showing the reach of russian power, showing the reach of russian power, showing the consequences of standing up showing the consequences of standing up to putin and the regime. I think
that part of the reason why russia will not be too troubled by the fact that the world knows what happened, and they will probably relish to some extent the publicity that comes from this. Good to talk to you. There have been 159 new cases in scotla nd there have been 159 new cases in scotland of coronavirus in the last 24 hour is, comparing to 101 the previous day, no reported deaths of people who tested positive in the last 28 days. 73 of the new cases are in the nhs Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board area. Two new cases in the western isles. The first time they have reported a new case since june. First time they have reported a new case sincejune. That is the latest covid 19 figures from scotland. Its a month since the huge explosion in beirut, which killed hundreds of people and injured thousands more. But today rescue workers are concentrating on one site where they believe a survivor may possibly be alive and trapped under the rubble. 0ur correspondent Carine Torbey is in beirut at the moment what is happening, you can see a lot of dust behind me. This is a machine that has been brought to the side to vacuum up all the dust and all the very fine fractures of debris that was created by all the ruins there. We just spoke to someone who was in charge of the rescue operation from the lebanese side. He told us things that are not very reassuring, he is not encouraged by the finding so far and told us they have reached the
location that the original team felt the bodies of the person alive might be under and they could not find any sign so far. They even cleared three metres of surface around that location and so far nothing. But this does not mean that operation has stopped, this is still ongoing and they are are around ten people there with their bare hands, shovels, still try to clear the debris. They are adamant that they wa nt to debris. They are adamant that they want to continue after the minute to make sure there is not any life that is being wasted either this rubble. Although the very slim hopes that we had in the beginning are getting slimmer by the minute. Now its time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes 0ur weather across much of england
and wales will tend to turn cloudier as the afternoon progresses, and eventually we will see rain getting into the far south west. In the north, brighter, but showers frequent across the north west of scotla nd frequent across the north west of scotland where there will be heavy once i gave you showers for Northern Ireland and Northern Areas of england. 0vernight those showers will continue in the north west, staying blustery, rain turning heavier across east anglia and the south east but the rate was not last long and it will clear through quickly. Temperatures overnight 8 12 celsius. Tomorrow fairly cloudy, it will tend to thicken bringing patchy, mainly light rain across the north west of england, parts of wales and Northern Ireland. Damp weather expected. Showers continuing in scotland, some areas staying dry. Eastern scotland favoured for dry and bright weather with sunshine, probably areas of southern england as well. That is your weather. Hello, this is bbc news. The headlines.

Sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres 0lly foster. Good afternoon. The england manager Gareth Southgate says Harry Maguire will be considered for englands next set of International Fixtures wbr id wbr19350 next month. The Manchester United captain was arrested after an altercation with greek police and handed a 21 month suspended prison sentence last month. He has appealed against greek court ruling and protested his innocence but he was dropped from the current squad for the matches against iceland tomorrow and denmark next week. It has been a difficult period for him and, the last few days, it has been important for him to be able to relax, get away from all the attention, get a rest, mentally get a rest because he had a short break anyway, but then the events that happened in greece dominated that. b
i think he needed that switch off. He will be able to go back to his club, and absolutely we would be looking to involve him in october. Four of the six nominees for the pfa wbrid wbr19950 player of the year award are from the champions liverpool. Captain Jordan Henderson made the shortlist, along with Trent Alexander arnold, sadio mane, and last years winner virgil van dijk. The other nominees are manchester citys Kevin De Bruyne and raheem stirling. Alexander arnold is also up for the young player award. The winners will be announced next tuesday. Chelsea dominate the list for womens player of the year. Beth england scored 21 goals in all competitions last season, helping chelsea to the wsl title. Shesjoined by sophie ingle, guro reiten and ji so yun on the shortlist, as well as holder vivianne miedema and her arsenal team mate kim little. Andy murray says he wasnt too downhearted after his defeat overnight in the second round at the us open. He went down in straight sets against the canadian prodigy felix auger aliassim. It was murrays first grand slam appearance since the start of last year, and the three time grand slam champion showed a few flashes of his old self, but his 20 year old opponent was too strong, winning 6 2, 6 3, 6 4. Murray says hell still be shooting for the stars, but he need to build up his stamina before the french open next month. I dont want to lose in straight sets anywhere, and certainly not in grand slams. What i need to do is look at what happened the last couple of weeks, look at the things in my game that were not as how i would like it, and physically what i can do to improve so that if im in that situation again in a few weeks time at the french open,
that i deal with it better. Next up for auger aliasim could be another british player, dan evans, but his match was interrupted by rain overnight and hell resume later today at one set, all against the frenchman corentin moutet. Evans will have to hold serve to take the third set into a tie break. The former england fast bowler graham 0nions has retired from professional cricket. He started his career at durham, becoming their all time leading wicket taker in 11; seasons there, before spending the last two years at lancashire. He was capped nine times at test level and he was a regular in the limited overs squad. 0nions, whos 37, has been advised to stop playing on medical grounds after suffering a back injury last month. Mo farah is going to try and break the one hour record this evening. The legendary ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie set the bar atjust over 21km in 2007. Thats about 13 miles. Farahs attempt is going to take place at the Diamond League meeting in brussels. The four time olympic gold medallist says he thinks its possible. Its a return to the track for farah, three years after opting for road running. Thats all the sport for now. The Prime Minister borisjohnson has defended the former australian Prime Minister tony abbott, amid reports that he is being lined up for a role in post brexit trade talks. 0pposition and some tory mps say he is unfit to represent the uk due to his views on Climate Change and allegations of misogynist and homophobic comments. Mrjohnson was speaking on a visit to the west midlands. There is going to be an announcement in due course about the composition
of the board of trade. I obviously dont agree with those sentiments at all, but then i dont agree with eve ryo ne all, but then i dont agree with everyone who serves the government in an unpaid capacity on hundreds of boards across the country, and i cant be expected to do so. What i would say about tony abbott is that this is a guy he was elected by the people of a great liberal democratic nation of australia and you have been to australia, it is an amazing country, it is a freedom loving country, it is a freedom loving country, it is a freedom loving country, it is a liberal country. There you go. I think that speaks for itself. On quarantine, why wont you do airports testing as david davis and others have called for . understand the difficulties of the airline industries, and i know how
tough it is, particularly for people who are facing the potential loss of theirjobs in the aviation sector. We will continue to do everything we can to help, to put our arms around every british business, large and small. We have put a0 billion into the furlough scheme, 60 billion altogether. We will do more to support aviation. The particular problem, if there were some tests at the airport that will answer whether you have got it or not, u nfortu nately, you have got it or not, unfortunately, it only works in 7 of the cases, so 93 of the time, you could have a realfalse sense of the cases, so 93 of the time, you could have a real false sense of security, a false sense of confidence when you arrive and take a test. That is why the quarantine system that we have has got to be an important part of our repertoire of our tool box in fighting covid 19. We have got to a section now, we
have got the disease right down. We have got the disease right down. We have got the disease right down. We have got death down, we have got hospital admissions down. We have at schools back now and it is fantastic to see children getting back to school in huge numbers and i pay tribute to teachers, parents, pupils for what they are doing. What we do not want to see is reinfection coming in from abroad. Quarantine is a vital part of that. I have got a couple more questions. I might get told off. I am giving you long a nswe rs told off. I am giving you long answers here. My answers are a programme in themselves. Answers here. My answers are a programme in themselvesm answers here. My answers are a programme in themselves. If england is using the same data as scotland and wales, why be different quarantine decisions . It has caused chaos, hasnt it . The reality is different devolved administrations in the uk, they have different approaches to the problem, but
overwhelmingly, the uk is proceeding as one, and i think you will find when you dig beneath some of the surface, the surface differentiation, you will find overwhelmingly that the uk takes the same approach. On brexit, eight Haulage Companies are saying the supply of goods into the uk will be severely disrupted at the end of the transition period and a free flowing supply chain is essential during covid 19. They say your government isnt listening. I they write, are we ready . We are ready for any eventuality, of course, but we must make sure that people understand that at the end of the year, whatever happens, we are leaving the eu and leaving the transition period, the implementation period, and that is it. We will be leaving those arrangements. And that is why it is vital that people that have questions, that have queries about what they need to do, get onto the
website, look at what they need to do to prepare and, certainly, we will help them. But we will get through this. It is vital that our partners understand that the uk is going to do what we need to do. If we have to have an australian style deal, an australian style solution, thatis deal, an australian style solution, that is what we will achieve and we will prosper one way or another. They could, of course, be sensible and give us a canada style solution, and give us a canada style solution, andi and give us a canada style solution, and i hope very much that they will. But we are ready for either eventuality. That is the Prime Minister at speaking little earlier on. Its five years since the height of europe s migrant crisis, when a Million People travelled from the middle east and north africa. Thousands drowned on the way. Italy was one of the principal destinations and migration deepened divisions there,
with the far right coming into government. Now, officials are warning again they cannot cope with the number of people arriving. Mark lowen reports from sicily and the tiny island of lampedusa. The joy of getting a chance at life. Her name, francesca miracle, after her birth on an italian rescue boat in 2015, as her motherfled libya. Suffering seizures and in intensive care, they almost didnt make it. The bbc met them back then. Now, settled in sicily, weve come back. Ciao, francesca. Sono mark. Si. Come stai . Bene. Was everything you went through worth it . Yes, it was worth it, because most of the people, they are dreaming to fill my shoes. Ah, you have kids outside the country, so i think you are blessed, you are lucky. So i think i, too,
should be happy for that. They were among the million migrants who made it to europe at the height of the migration crisis of 2015, changing its society and politics. Thousands more drowned en route, nameless in the graveyard of the mediterranean. Five years on, theyre still coming. The camp in lampedusa to the south of sicily crowded and guarded. So far, arrivals this year are a third of what they were in 2015 and yet this camp is already way past capacity. And then throw coronavirus into the explosive mix, pushing migrants to flee suffering economies, creating quarantine concerns, and reawakening the old migration tensions in italian society. In squalid conditions, migrants here say they know of several cases inside. Theres pressure to clear the camp and reduce the burden on this gateway to europe. Hamza tells me he wants to work
to send money back to his wife and daughter in tunisia. Translation we took the risk of dying at sea. Now were at risk of dying from coronavirus here. We left the misery of our country, but if i had known what misery there would be here, i would have stayed in tunisia. Even life there is better than this. In mainland sicily too theyre expecting arrivals. This new camp is being built in a disused air base to quarantine them. Thats stoking opposition from the far right, which became italys most Popular Party and briefly entered government due to migration. Translation the European Union has left italy to handle the migration issue alone and, at the same time, italy is leaving its regions like sicily on their own. Theres a danger to public order and now also a health risk. Arent you fanning the flames of racism by speaking of invasion . I ask. Translation no, we would use
the same language if we were being invaded by the english or the french. If tomorrow 1,000 french landed on sicilys coast, i would also speak of an invasion. Some migrants are settling here, this centre teaching italian as theyre woven into the fabric of modern italy. A story about security, integration, identity is far from over. Mark lowen, bbc news, sicily. Fears have been growing over the last few months about the future of one of the giants of the british high street debenhams. The company is in administration for the second time and has recently cut 2,500 more jobs. In its first interview since the pandemic, the chairman of debenhams, mark gifford, has been talking to our business correspondent, emma simpson. Sometimes you work hard and sometimes you get lucky, but the business has been able to build up significant cash balances. We are sitting with over £95 million in the bank today, more than £50 million higher than we expected to have when we went into administration. We really have a clear path forward to trade the business through 2021 and beyond. It was really difficult in march, but there are no cliff edges for debenhams right now. You mean there is no need to strike a deal by the end of the month . No, not at all. How confident are you that debenhams lenders, who took control, will buy the business back . This is a big decision for the current owners, and they are looking at how we are recovering. They are looking at all the available cost saving opportunities so this business has a viable future and they are looking at it optimistically but they have to take
a business decision before they conclude anything. We have been open at best, we are in our 13th week of trading since the doors open. It is very early days. Theres no pressure for them to reach a conclusion, given where we are, but, you know, we have got their support. How long can the period of administration go on for . We will stay in administration well into 2021. I think resolving business rates, seeing customer footfall return, to get certainty that we need, is probably the end of q2 2021 until those sorts of decisions can actually be concluded. Nobody is going to pull the plug on debenhams before christmas then . No, as i say, we are not in that position. We dont have those pressures. We have worked hard. The amount of time and effort by the management team, theyve
done fantastically well to get to the business. The headlines on bbc news. The government has admitted the difference in new uk quarantine rules is confusing for travellers. People in leeds are being warned to follow coronavirus guidelines or face new restrictions. There are claims of a looming crisis in britains supply chains and possible shortages when the brexit transition ends. As the Film Industry tries to recover from months of closed cinemas and postponed releases, Production Companies are using new ways to release their content. Disney has chosen to launch the live action remake of the film mulan on its own streaming service, disney plus, rather than on the big screen. Jack kilbride reports. My father cannot fight,
so i will take his place. It is premiere day for mulan but not the type of release we are used to seeing for a big budget blockbuster. Almost six months after it was scheduled to hit the big screen, disneys live action remake of their animated classic is hitting the small screen instead. Specifically, disneys own streaming service, disney plus. To watch it, you have to be a subscriber and then pay an extra 30 a move that disney hopes will pay off big. The big question with disney right now is can a 200 million blockbusterfilm like mulan perform as well for them on a strictly premium video on demand streaming Service Basis than it would theatrically . Thats the question that people are posing but not necessarily the correct question. This is an experiment for disney in a number of different ways, but what the company is looking to do really is build its streaming service. While mulan will get its big cinema release in china, where coronavirus restrictions have eased, those in the us seeking a more traditional cinema
experience this weekend have a very different option, with Christopher Nolans complex sci fi blockbuster tenet making its us premiere after already finding some success elsewhere. I feel great that people outside of america feel safe and support film. They still love the movie theatre experience, which is great to me because its why i got into the business because i love movies and i love the movie theatre experience. Its too early to say which option will prove to be a success, but deciding how to release a finished film is only one of the many problems facing the industry. You are justice production on the batman has been suspended because the films caped crusader, robert pattinson, has contracted coronavirus a reminder for all that even a superhero isnt immune from the virus. Jack kilbride, bbc news. The world famous blackpool illuminations will be turned on tonight. This years lights will be in place until the new year
two months longer than usual to try and boost tourism in the area. More than a million lightbulbs will be part of the display, as tim muffett reports. Ridiculous for mooky and mr boo, summer 2020 has been nojoke. Its been interesting. It has been a challenge and it won. You sort of find out how much you enjoy what you do for a living when you cant do it. The clowns of blackpool tower circus are brothers and neighbours. We have been able to keep our juggling skills up over the garden fence. The circus was able to reopen last month. I think the audiences have been better, havent they . Yes. More friendlier. Yes, absolutely. Theyre more appreciative of live entertainment. Absolutely. Even though the faces, are covered you can kind of see the laugh lines on the side of the face, so its good. Yes. Injuly and august, blackpool had its highest visitor numbers in ten years, according to the council. For many, a holiday abroad just wasnt an option. Since we had the removal
of lockdown, it has been absolutely amazing. It has been a god send to the businesses who, of course, lost a significant part of the trading for this year, including easter and may bank holidays, and so it has been great for them, its been good for the morale of the town. Yeah, we were supposed to be in lanzarote. So we decided to do, like, a staycation. So, youre supposed to be in lanzarote. Youre in blackpool how does it compare . Uh, its a bit more breezy in blackpool we were supposed to be going to turkey in october, but we did not want to run the risk of the ia day quarantine when we come back. Many who visited uk resorts this summer did so at the last minute. Perhaps a foreign holiday had been cancelled or the weather was good so many who came to blackpool, did so on day trips, without necessarily staying the night. Claires bed and breakfast has still struggled. A horrendous start. The virus hit at the worst possible time. So it will be interestingto see how. It continues going forward. Jason had hoped to open this new nightclub in april. It is frustrating, you know, and to see the sand and the dust thats gathering up as well. For people like myself and people who own nightclubs and festivals, we need a clear route to opening, we need some guidelines, we need an indication of at least a date would be the first step. Blackpools world famous illuminations are normally switched on in front of huge crowds. We are having a virtual switch on in this beautiful ballroom. No audience, just some performers and then the lights will go on at 9. 30pm. But they will stay on until the new year, eight weeks longer than normal. A town reliant on tourists doing everything they can to keep them coming. Tim muffett, bbc news. Now they might be in their 80s, but derek and Maureen Clancy have worked a milk round for the last 50
years and they have refused to be thwarted by the pandemic. The couple from yorkshire have continued to deliver to doorsteps and show no sign of slowing down yet. Charlotte leeming went to meet them. As double acts go, maureen and derek clancy are a formidable pair. Both in their 80s, they have had a milk round for 50 years. Every weekday morning, the alarm goes off at 2am and they go about delivering 800 pints. So what keeps them going strong . Early mornings, fresh air, exercise. Thats all i can say. She is like a show horse. Thats one way of describing me i dont mean she looks like a show horse, i mean shes got the stamina of a show horse. Oh, dear. But he loves it, she loves it. Yeah, ido. The couple have been together since they were teenagers and set up the business long before you could readily buy milk in the stores. Keith wilson worked as a milk boy for the clancys in the 1980s and has fond memories of that time. As i started in 1982, we absolutely loved it. You were the envy of your friends because we earned a little bit more than the lads that had the paper rounds. They were like a second family to me. Worked all the way through. Ive kept in touch all the way through until now, and it is absolutely fantastic that they are still going. And really unbelievable. Maureen and dereks son, martin, is also part of the family firm, and they have been busier than ever during covid, seeing a big increase in customers, but their hard work is certainly appreciated. We never run out of milk, we never over order, they call us every day, if it is getting low, they will straight away bob down with some extra pints for us. I mean, it is a service you just do not expect to get this day and age. The clancys deliver rain or shine, with rarely a day off. And their three year old granddaughter is already showing signs that she could be the future generation of the business. Maureen and derek have been at this
for half a century and, let me tell you, they have no intention whatsoever of putting a lid on it. Charlotte leeming, bbc news. Now its time for a look at the weather. We will look ahead to the weekend Weather Forecast in a moment. For the rest of the day, we will see scenes like these for many of us with clouds tending to increase. Its not dry everywhere. We will have showers, particularly affecting scotland, Northern Ireland, far north of england. Clouds will eventually bring rain. We have another strike of cloud here passing greenland and that for be moving in in time for this weekend. For the rest of the afternoon, it is a showery story. Further south across england and wales, a lot of
cloud. We will see rain moving into the south west of england later on and, overnight, the rain could turn heavier over time across south west england, but it wont last very long. Showers continue into scotland, perhaps the north coast of Northern Ireland and the few coming into the north west of england and wales. Temperatures overnight eight to 12 degrees. The weekend is looking cloudy. Some patchy rain around. Most of it will be affecting North Western areas. A few sunny intervals coming and going. Starting off on intervals coming and going. Starting offona intervals coming and going. Starting off on a bright note for many of us, but there will be showers in scotland. Apache rain moving in across Northern Ireland and probably getting into north west england, so it could become quite damp around the Greater Manchester area, perhaps more especially towards the end of the day patchy rain. The second half of the weekend, there is going to be quite a lot of cloud around. We are expecting further rain. Rain sta rts we are expecting further rain. Rain starts of moving in parts of north west england. Could be quite dampfor north west england. Could be quite damp for much of the day. Rain light, but quite persistent, people see rain breaking out across parts of central and Eastern England as well. Eastern scotland could be the place that stays dry with occasional brighter spells. Next week, weather fronts across the uk will be quite wea k fronts across the uk will be quite weak affairs, but they will bring cloud and the threat of rain at times as well. 0verall, little in the way of big changes in the week. 0ften cloudy, a little bit of rain for some of us and some bright spells. This is bbc news, im ben brown. The headlines. Confusion over quarantine holidaymakers are angry and frustrated as scotand and wales impose new restrictions, while theres no change in england and Northern Ireland. Obviously, not very happy. We feel as though weve lost two days of our holiday. Its cost us an arm and a leg. People in leeds are being warned to follow coronavirus guidelines or face new restrictions. Claims of a looming crisis in britains supply chains and possible shortages when the brexit transition ends. Construction gets underway on the High Speed Railway from london to birmingham and beyond. The Prime Minister says hs2 will fire up Economic Growth and help to rebalance opportunity. I have got absolutely no doubt that mass transit, transport infrastructure is going to be crucial for our country, notjust now but the decades ahead. Nato says russia must allow an International Investigation into the poisoning of alexei navalny, a leading critic of the kremlin. Good afternoon. The Prime Minister has this afternoon insisted that quarantine measures for arrivals from countries deemed high risk must remain a vital part of the fight against coronavirus. He was speaking after the government admitted the difference in new uk quarantine rules is confusing for travellers. Many holiday makers and travel companies have said theyre frustrated and angry after wales and scotland imposed
new restrictions on people coming back from portugal and parts of greece, while england and Northern Ireland didnt make any changes. From faro, gavin lee reports. People going on holiday have become used to this weekly decision, usually the uk as a whole, whether it is for spain or france or croatia, people have to go back and quarantine. We have seen the rush weekly. Today, however, things are different, more complicated, because suddenly wales, scotland saying portugal is an absolute no go zone because of covid 19 and england and Northern Ireland say it is currently safe. The effect on the ground we have been taking a look. Back to britain from faro airport this morning. Where you are going back to now dictates whether you have to isolate. Theres been no indication from the government. This couple are heading to birmingham. They dont need to quarantine, but they bought early tickets home. We are not very happy. We feel we have lost two days of our holidays. It has cost us an arm and a leg. We are just very disappointed. Ron and his children are cutting their holiday short by four days when ultimately there was no need to. So we paid just over £1000 for three. Going back to manchester. And the flight on monday hasjust gone. It would be good if the government could all get together and come up with one set of policies which are applied reasonably consistently. As more british tourists return home, it is clear to me how confusing many people find the new rules. For example, if youre an english traveller flying to cardiff today, you can drive back, wont have to self isolate. But if youre welsh and land in birmingham today, you will then go back and have to spend the next two weeks in isolation. This new way of travelling has just become even more complicated. So just how do the uk nations differ on quarantine . If you fly from six greek islands and live in wales you have to self isolate for 1a days. If you live in scotland, now the whole of greece is on the quarantine list. There are no restrictions in england and Northern Ireland. If you arrived from portugal and live in wales you will have to self isolate from today. It is the same for scotland. But the new rules come in tomorrow. Again there are no new restrictions for england and Northern Ireland. Portugal has seen a rise in coronavirus cases in recent days, going just above the uk margin of safety of 20 cases per 100,000 people. But the tourist destinations of the algarve are not the problem. So why are politicians taking such different approaches . We look at the data and then we do speak, but im afraid quite often coming to slightly different outcomes. I wont wait for a larger tide of infections from these parts of europe. This is about keeping the world safe. It is estimated more than 30,000 uk holiday makers have headed out here since the travel corridor opened two weeks ago. Golf and good weather a magnet for all the travellers for so called silver season. But arrivals this morning were much quieter than usual. The money and complexity of taking an unpredictable break may now not be worth the gamble for many. In an interview this afternoon, the Prime Minister has defended the fact that the quarantine rules are currently different across the uk. Of course the reality is that different devolved administrations in the uk, scotland, wales, Northern Ireland, they operate with different approaches to the problem but
overwhelmingly the uk is proceeding as one, and i think you will find that when you dig beneath some of the surface differentiation, you will find overwhelmingly the uk ta kes will find overwhelmingly the uk takes the same approach. People in leeds are being warned to follow coronavirus guidelines or face new restrictions. Cases in the city are rising, and the local council says the community has reached a pivotal moment. It comes as the government says the reproduction, or r number of covid 19 in the uk remains between 0. 9 and 1. 1, indicating that the rate of infection is most likely either broadly stable or slightly growing. Heres our Health Correspondent richard galpin. Leeds is the latest in a growing list of cities across the country where infection rates have risen to the point where more action may need to be taken. Its expected the city will be added to Public Health englands watch list of areas of concern. And local officials are preparing for the possibility of
imposing further measures. Well be keeping a very close eye over the next couple of weeks. And what we would expect in the first place, if there is any change, is just restrictions of movement rather than, its premature to talk about lockdowns at this stage, but clearly if its felt there does need to be restrictions of movement, for example, then that is something of course that we will have to put into place. For those living here the prospect of more restrictions is bleak. It cant be good for businesses, and the economy cant really afford us to go into another real lockdown. But health and safety has to come first. I know that if it was my grandparents at risk, i would want us to go into another lockdown to save them. Everybody has to be responsible. I dont know how things can really be helped or anything other than people taking ownership
and getting on with, you know, following the rules and restrictions and things. The figures are clear. Cases of coronavirus in leeds have been rising steadily over the past week. 55 new cases, according to figures yesterday. And all this inevitable, say experts, due to the rising cases across West Yorkshire as a whole, particularly amongst young adults. Independent sage were calling, as were others, for a zero covid strategy over the summer, and that was to push the infection rates down as low as they could be, as has happened in scotland, and to get the test track trace and isolate system fully functional so that you could stamp down on these resurgencies. Now they didnt do that. So we are where we are. Alongside leeds there are other hotspots in the north of england, such as bolton. These areas have also seen cases of coronavirus rise recently. With winter approaching, the battle with the virus is set to intensify. Richard galpin, bbc news. Lakshmi manoharan is an epidemiologist from the university of oxford. Lets talk about local lockdown is in general and principal, and whether you actually think they work. Of course, good to be here. I think local lockdown can be useful if there is a true increase in the number of cases and Community Transmission in a particular area. They are not perfect as a solution, local lockdown is should certainly not take a one size fits all approach. Localfactors not take a one size fits all approach. Local factors need not take a one size fits all approach. Localfactors need to be taken into account, testing rates, the extent of local measures required and also the potential
timeframe and criteria. Clearly they are preferable, most people would ee, are preferable, most people would agree, toa are preferable, most people would agree, to a National Lockdown or a reimposed National Lockdown. What is the evidence in this country so far . We have limited experience in various areas of the country, but what would you say the evidence is . It is often quite hard to say what exactly is the best measure, we are dealing with a fairly unknown entity, but what we know its a local lockdown is likely better than a National Lockdown in terms of the economic and social costs. We need to focus on ensuring the impact of local lockdown is our minimised as much as possible. Who should best decide when they should be a local lockdown . That is the question that is being asked more and more. We had andy burnham recently in manchester saying National Government should but out, it is up to us to decide and administer that local lockdown. I think the main issue with some of the previous lockdown has been perhaps a lack of communication or data sharing between the different local authorities and National Health bodies. That level of communication of data needs to be there and so there has to be local authority and community buying to ensure local lockdown terror successful. Local lockdown, is this the way other countries are going as well . I heard the world health 0rganization commending the uk for the way we are doing it and they see thatis the way we are doing it and they see that is the right way ahead. There are several International Examples of local lockdown is, germany, italy, melbourne is currently under quite a Strict Lockdown as well and they are seeing case numbers drop and Community Transmission decline, so there is evidence of a local lockdown being effective. What is your general view of what is
happening with coronavirus in the uk . How do you read it as an ep epidemiologist . What is your sense of how it is going . We have seen an improvement from the peak in march, but recently with restrictions relaxing and pubs and restaurants and hospitality sector opening up, we are seeing an increase in cases that are going slightly above one and case numbers increasing. We have to worry about the onset of winter and universities and schools returning, we need to keep a close eye on the case numbers in Community Transmission in the second half of this year. Thank you very much. Borisjohnson insists hs2 will be crucial for the future as he marked the projects formal beginning of construction. Its the biggest Infrastructure Project in europe and could cost more than £100 billion. The government claims more
than 20,000 jobs will be created in the first phase to link london and birmingham. But critics say the project will actually cost jobs and damage the environment. On a visit to to a contruction site in solihull, the Prime Minister ackowledged that more people are now working from home, but says transport networks will be critical for many years. Of course i think loads of people have had the benefit of working from home, it has definitely enhanced peoples quality of in many ways, andi peoples quality of in many ways, and i congratulate people on the ha rd and i congratulate people on the hard work they had putin from home. But i have absolutely no doubt that mass transit, transport infrastructure is going to be crucial for our country, notjust now but in the decades ahead. This incredible project is going to be delivering 22,000 jobs. Tens of thousands more, high skilljobs in the decades ahead, linking
birmingham, eight miles away, to london, 38 minutes behind me when hs2 is built. London, 38 minutes behind me when h52 is built. You mentioned a 22,000 jobs, that is an exaggeration, isnt it, given that some of those probably include people already working on the project, and also the stop hs2 campaign claims it will permanently displace a similar amount of jobs anyway. Permanently displace a similar amount ofjobs anyway. No, i profoundly disagree with that analysis. All the experience i have of mass transit projects is that the compound benefits, Economic Impact is huge, and just in this area in solihull, we are at the heart of a motorway roundabout system, and this will unleash development and Growth Potential in an area that has been totally unrecognised, not used, its potential never exploited or brought forth, and that will generate, i am
certain, tens of thousands ofjobs in the decades ahead. Transport connectivity is at the heart of the build back better, build back faster and greener recovery, because hs2, whatever people say, i know environmentalists have their points, but hsz environmentalists have their points, but hs2 is going to be a significantly greener way to travel for everyone than going by plane or car. Freight and haulage firms are warning of a looming crisis in uk border plans when the brexit transition period ends on the 31st of december. The Road Haulage Association says the the supply chain of goods could become a disaster area with rocket boosters on. The firms want to meet ministers to discuss concerns about it systems, border infrastructure and the training of customs agents. Alex veitch is general manager for Public Policy at logistics uk, one of the companies that
wrote the letter. He sin st albans. This thank you for being with us. What is your prediction . What are you worried about . Delays, goods not getting where they need to go as quickly and easily as they do today. Why, just explain, what do you think its great to happen at the end of the transition period this year . The transition period this year . The end of this year, we will be in a position where all of our goods, exported from this country to the eu, will be subject to fool trade procedures which currently apply if we are trading with goods outside the eu. 0ur we are trading with goods outside the eu. Our main worry is about securing a fast, efficient way to remove those goods from the uk to the eu from the 1st of january. This is why we are engaging with government and encouraging them to accelerate the process for getting
all of these it systems ready so that our members and the businesses that our members and the businesses that use our members to use a good surround can all have time to get up to speed and know how to use them so that goods can flow across the board is easily from the 1st of january. It really is, in the end, a logistical issue . You are saying, when it comes down to it, we are not ready . We are still got four months ago, so lets focus on the positive. We have had good engagement with governments, many of the back Office Systems a re governments, many of the back Office Systems are now developed and we are working closely with our members and the government to make sure that the focus is on how to use them. We have done attention to one particular project which is all about the management of the flow of goods through kent, which is really important, and we would like to see government accelerate the process for that. There is still time, we just need perhaps to focus, prioritise and increase the amount of government top level attention to
things like that to make sure there is sufficient time and all works well come the 1st of january. Is sufficient time and all works well come the 1st ofjanuary. As a mention, one of your group, the Road Haulage Association, says this could bea haulage association, says this could be a disaster with rocket boosters on. Quite a prediction. We would like the rocket boosters to be applied any different context, to fast forward the freight across the borders carefully and safely. We are not saying, seeing this in quite the same lens. We want to win this race in first place. We want to remove delays, make sure everything works perfectly on day one. That is where we need to be. But if it doesnt work out like that, i have heard various people talk about the possibility of shortages, shortages of food. Is that possible . We have seenin of food. Is that possible . We have seen in covid 19 that our members,
the Logistics Supply chain, has been incredibly resilient and able to deliver goods that you, me and Everybody Needs on a daily basis. The challenge of brexit is significant, but going back to what isaid significant, but going back to what i said before, the Biggest Issue is about exports from january. The government has said that for a six month period during 2021, that first six months, there will be what they call a staged approach to import control. We do not anticipate as many problems on the import side but we are worried about the exports to the eu because our friends but we are worried about the exports to the eu because ourfriends in that you have said no staged approach, we have to comply with all the rules from january. It is possible to do it, wejust the rules from january. It is possible to do it, we just need to make sure every body is working together to achieve that goal. Whether two things meet in the middle is because we have such a congested supply chain across the channel, if you get delays in export, it can create a problem for
the import flows. The government are saying, this is not a problem. They saying, this is not a problem. They say they are investing £700 million injobs, say they are investing £700 million in jobs, infrastructure and technology at the border. There are still a few problems to resolve, we would respectably set respectively say. They have invested a lot, engagement is good, the building blocks, the bricks of the house are almost in place, but we are drawing attention to smart freight which is the way that the government is looking to manage the flow of traffic through kent and ensure and incentivise Logistics Providers to make sure that goods are border ready before they even get to kent. We support that project but this is the one area that is lagging behind and we would like to get some additional top level ministerial focus on that though that all parts of the house can be built by the end of the year. We will see what happens. Thank you for joining us. A man who admitted filming a naked woman without her consent, as she slept, has been given a 30 Month Community order for voyerism. Christopher killick admitted filming emily hunt in a Hotel Bedroom in 2015. She fought a five Year Campaign for justice after the Crown Prosecution Service repeatedly refused to prosecute killick. Shes been speaking to our correspondent michael buchanan. For me, the biggest win was in january when we clarified that it is illegal to record somebody naked without their consent. That was a huge weight being lifted off in a way that i actually did not anticipate. That was the win. When he pleaded guilty in august, and became a convicted six offender, it was icing on the cake. Because the big success was when my team argued, this is voyeurism. What impact of
the past that might have the past few years had on you . Total, really. There has been my professional life which has been destroyed. I was working any big job and had a breakdown, and never villa quite recovered in a way that they could support me through, i became redundant. I had not been able to get a full time role since. It probably does not help that i go into public and talk about sexual violence, that helps make some people uncomfortable. But since the win injanuary, i have felt com pletely win injanuary, i have felt completely reinvigorated, so i have actually just started a completely reinvigorated, so i have actuallyjust started a small consulting role, writing a book, doing a bunch of things and i feel finally like i am starting to get
back to being me. I used to be a workaholic, i worked back to being me. I used to be a workaholic, iworked in back to being me. I used to be a workaholic, i worked in ridiculous hours, big jobs, and workaholic, i worked in ridiculous hours, bigjobs, and ijust got workaholic, i worked in ridiculous hours, big jobs, and ijust got such a kick out of that and i have missed it. I dont think one win after the other, it has made it clear that i can go back to my real life. You we re can go back to my real life. You were always clear in your own mind what this man had done was illegal . Yes. What questions remain for you . We need to think about what it says about the criminal justice we need to think about what it says about the criminalJustice System, that we are not prioritising prosecuting crime. We talk about the fa ct prosecuting crime. We talk about the fact that only 1. A of sexual assaults are fact that only 1. A of sexual assaults a re currently fact that only 1. A of sexual assaults are currently being prosecuted by the cps. But only 7 of crimes are being prosecuted. While there has been lots of interesting conversation about the fa ct interesting conversation about the fact that rape has been decriminalised, we are entering a situation where when do we Start Talking about the fact that crime is
being decriminalised . Talking about the fact that crime is being decriminalised . We talking about the fact that crime is being decriminalised .

Childcare providers say theyre facing big financial problems and in some cases closure. A report by the institute for fiscal studies says childcare demand was 70 below pre crisis levels by the start of the summer holidays, and warns several parts of the sector are going into crisis, despite some government support. It says a fall in demand and increased costs due to social distancing could seriously hamper Financial Sustainability in future. But the government says its already committed to a planned multi billion pound funding package. Neal leitch is the chief executive of the educational Childrens Charity the early years alliance. We have talked so much about schools
and universities throughout this pandemic, perhaps not always focusing so much on childcare, but just paid as a picture about the Current Situation as it affects childcare around the country. Current situation as it affects childcare around the countrylj think childcare around the country. think your point about schools and Higher Education is well made, this report frankly highlights what those about to have worked in the sector have known for years, that the sector has been neglected for decades. All this report has done has highlight the fact that covid 19 has highlight the fact that covid 19 has left many providers in a position where they have low margin for recovery. Compared to schools, the early years sector has been treated like a poor relation. From day one, when the government asked nurseries and childminders to open up nurseries and childminders to open up their doors to critical workers, they stood up, did it, they often did it with uncertainty, Scientific Evidence that i was not clear, they would go home at night and see television reports of 1000 people dying and still they stepped up to
the plate. But when it came to support for additional protective equipment and financial support, they were completely neglected. Lots of thank yous, but nothing that basically was of substance. I am not surprised that we are in a position where you have one in four providers telling us that at this particular time they may not be around in yea rs time they may not be around in years time. Talking of education and social mobility, that figure rises to one in three in areas of deprivation. We represent over 1a,ooo deprivation. We represent over 1a,000 providers but are also the largest voluntary sector provider in england. Two years ago, we operated 132 settings in areas of deprivation, today that figure has dropped to 6a. In the last month, we have closed ten settings. We have seen 20,000 providers in the last couple of years, out of this sector,
a total of 58,000, so the turn is substantial, it does not paint a healthy picture. Demand for childcare is falling, is that because. Explain the reasons. Is that because so many people are working from home . That because so many people are working from home 7 that because so many people are working from home . I think that is the case, but this is notjust about getting parents and families back into work. If we follow that path, it is dangerous. What about children . Government seems to think that any education starts when people go through the school gate. Anybody who knows anything about education well know it starts at the earliest years, so regardless of whether the demand in terms of the workforce is different, this is about Childrens Development and learning. 80 of the workforce go back or 20 work from home, it is still about the child and we need a National Infrastructure that
develops and supports young children. This is notjust about returning to work. What do you want . What help do you want that youre not getting now . What do you want the government to do . A bit of integrity, equity. They need to look at the system of funding. You ask government to tell you how they arrived at their figures, and we are going through a battle at this time with the information commissioners office, where we have said, tell us how you have arrived at your figures that you think you pay is enough money . They have appealed against that. The ico says they need to tell how they arrived at the figures. Why have they appealed . How they arrived at the figures. Why have they appealed . Because resto substance and how they arrived at those figures. Integrity, equity is critical. I was fortunate yesterday to sit in front of the chancellor and say to him, you need to review this. I am confident that he heard the message. Now all i ask is he does something about it. Thank you

He has appealed against the greek court ruling and protested his innocence, but he was dropped from the current squad for the matches against iceland tomorrow and denmark next week. It has been a difficult period for him and, the last few days, it has been important for him to be able to relax, get away from all the attention, get a rest

Nato has called for an International Investigation into the alleged poisoning of the russian Opposition Leader alexei navalny. He remains in an induced coma in a hospital in berlin, recovering from what german Officials Say was a novichok nerve agent attack on an internal flight in russia last month. Nato says moscow has serious questions to answer. 0ur security correspondent Frank Gardner reports. Still critically ill, still in a berlin hospital, russias most prominent government critic, alexei navalny, poisoned, say his doctors, with a novichok nerve agent on a flight across russia. Now nato and the west are demanding answers from moscow. Nato allies agree that russia now has serious questions it must answer. The russian government must fully cooperate with the organisation for the prohibition of chemical weapons on an impartial International Investigation. Those responsible for this attack must be held accountable and brought to justice. Here, the foreign secretary, dominic raab, called the poisoning utterly deplorable. He is insisting on a full and transparent investigation. The kremlin says it will investigate but it complains it has not been shown any evidence of poisoning. Translation our specialists are carrying out checks, investigative actions. If there is a confirmation of the presence of poisonous substances, there is no doubt an investigation will be launched. We are asking everybody to rely on the facts. There are disturbing echoes here of what happened in salisbury over two years ago. A novichok nerve agent developed in soviet laboratories was used to poison the former russian kgb defector Sergei Skripal and his daughter. Britain blamed it on two Russian Military intelligence officers. Moscow denied responsibility. Then there was alexander litvinenko, anotherformer kgb officer. He died in a London Hospital in 2006, after his assassins slipped radioactive polonium into his tea. Today, his widow says russia cannot be trusted with an investigation. Unfortunately, russia is not a democratic country right now. Its a lot of signs of dictatorship regime. In doing business with a dictatorship regime you have a different approach. And everything what you try to do as you did before, you cant say now is business as usual. All this throws an uncomfortable spotlight on president putin and the kremlin leadership
