It will allow the very largest engines to be checked to destruction if necessary, while being monitored by an array of sensors, and even News/x-ray'>X Rayed in real time. The company News/say-'>Says it will be a vital tool in developing more environmentally friendly engines and fuels and help safeguard jobs at the plant. This report from News/theo-leggett'>Theo Leggett contains flashing images. Its taken three years to build and cost £90 million. This is the massive new News/aero-engine-test'>Aero Engine Test bed built by News/rolls-royce'>Rolls Royce at its headquarters in derby. Its here that the company will put some of the biggest and most powerful News/aircraft-engines'>Aircraft Engines in the World through their paces. If you want to test a really big engine like this one, you need a large facility on a grand scale, and thats what this place is. Look at it its like a cathedral in here. Its huge, it covers more than 7,000 square metres the size of a News/premier-league-football'>Premier League Football ground. And when its in operation, vast quantities of air will be sucked in through this chamber, in through the engine, which will be running flat out, and then a stream of burning gases will come out the back, through that, which is the Worlds largest exhaust pipe. So, in here, were going to be doing all sorts of testing to simulate different loads and experiences an engine sees in flight. So, this isnt really a production test facility. Weve got others of those in derby. This is where well test it and inject water into it, News/x-ray'>X Ray it real time, put birds into it to test the engine throughout its flight envelope. In the aviation industry, keeping costs down is vital while environmental pressures are growing, so engines need to be both cheaper and cleaner to run. The real pursuit is to always be able to reduce the fuel consumption. In other words, make the engine ever more efficient, whilst keeping it as light as possible. Because, of course, having a fuel efficient engine on the wing is great. But if its too heavy, then its obviously going to not make the most of being efficient. Like the rest of the aerospace industry, News/rolls-royce'>Rolls Royce has had a dreadful year, slashing production and cutting thousands ofjobs. That led to questions being asked over the very future of News/engine-production'>Engine Production in News/the-uk'>The Uk. I think this is a huge rejection, actually, of the spirit of pessimism and fears. I think its a great i investment in derby, and, more importantly, its a vote of confidence in News/the-uk'>The Uk. The new test bed, the largest of its kind in the World, is a powerful statement of intent from News/rolls-royce'>Rolls Royce. The company News/say-'>Says it will provide a platform for developing new technologies for decades to come, and ensure a major part of its global operation will remain firmly based in its traditional british heartlands.

What happened was that scientists at the Met Office and in ten other countries pooled the results of their Modelling Efforts to try to work out whats going to happen in the coming years and thats how they came up with this agreed conclusion that there is a 40 chance, a reasonable possibility, that one of the next five years will see that average level reaching 1. 5 degrees above the preindustrial level.

By going to the street and letting them know, the police and government, that we are not going to put up with it any more. Despite News/adams-support'>Adams Support of blm, the topic has been a divisive one in his family. My uncles still News/say-'>Say they News/cant-support'>Cant Support black News/lives-matter'>Lives Matter. The audience in stafford was 90 white. They probably didnt experience that kind of support growing up and so they are kind of looking that anything that comes in with suspicion. We all have our own opinion. The first time we actually met in person was at the first i protest in manchester. This is News/tom-malonejr'>Tom Malonejr with his family who you may recognise from the tv show gogglebox. He is currently in an interracial relationship with his girlfriend, briony brisco. It was comforting to know he values black peoples lives. Their Vocal Stance against racism has led to online abuse. A lot of people try to use it to divide us. Someone in a comment referred to briony as my slave. It was disgusting. Its not the first time ive heard it, unfortunately. When youve got people News/say-'>Saying the same things that were said 50, 100 years ago, you think we would be further along. Anna and jeff live in carlisle with their two children in a mainly white area and were surprised to see protests take place. The fact that someone had organised a black News/lives-matter'>Lives Matter movement in carlisle was amazing and i went, not expecting to see 200 people there. You have a white husband. How has race played out in that relationship . Its something ive never admitted to anyone before, but im quite disappointed ifell in love with a white man i thought thatd would be another way of claiming my heritage. I wanted children to have a similar experience as me, of being a blend. They are now more open about race. There is definitely an awareness from the other side, being a white person, and i dont want to feel like the colonialist, exploiting in some way. Black News/lives-matter'>Lives Matter has really united our family. Im realising its not about who i marry and the colour of their skin, its about how we work together for us to totally explore and engage with both of our cultural heritages. A year on since News/tom-and-briony'>Tom And Briony met at a demonstration, they are back in manchester for another march. The fact we still have to be here protesting, we are a lot further away than we need to be. At the same time, its nice that people are so passionate about wanting change. I think this is going to be a big part of who we are as a couple because its something were both passionate about.

I mean, you didnt, did you . We did everything we could to protect the nhs and to protect News/care-home'>Care Homes.

Im just off to drive forward the News/vaccine-programme'>Vaccine Programme, and then ill be going to the House Of Commons and ill answer questions there. Thanks very much. Boris johnsons closest former adviser accused News/matt-hancock'>Matt Hancock of misleading colleagues and parliament about testing, News/ppe-and-care'>Ppe And Care homes. I think that the News/secretary-of-state'>Secretary Of State for health should have been fired for at least 15, 20 things, i including lying to everybody | on multiple occasions in meeting| after meeting in the News/cabinet-room'>Cabinet Room and publicly. Shadow News/secretary-of-state'>Secretary Of State, jonathan ashworth. In the commons this morning, labour wanted answers. Now, these allegations from cummings are either true, and, if so, the News/secretary-of-state'>Secretary Of State potentially stands in breach of the News/ministerial-code'>Ministerial Code and the nolan principles, or they are false and the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister brought a fantasist and a liar into the heart of News/downing-street'>Downing Street. Which is it . The News/ministers-denial'>Ministers Denial was firm. Mr speaker, these allegations that were put yesterday and repeated by the right honourable gentlemen are serious allegations and i welcome the opportunity to come to the house to put formally on the record that these unsubstantiated allegations around honesty are not true. And that ive been straight with people in public and in private throughout. Every day since i began working on the response to this pandemic last january, ive got up each morning and asked, what must i do to protect life . Perhaps the most serious claim made by News/dominic-cummings'>Dominic Cummings was that covid spread like wildfire in News/care-home'>Care Homes because News/mr-hancock'>Mr Hancock falsely claimed patients were being tested before being discharged from hospital. Today, News/matt-hancock'>Matt Hancock said ministers follow the clinical advice and a former News/health-secretary'>Health Secretary who quizzed News/mr-cummings'>Mr Cummings said these remained allegations.

Likely is that that the minister how likely is that that the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister and the News/health-secretary'>Health Secretary have done enough to back this away . I think what youve heard at The End of that report there was that clearly the time will come from proper answers but both the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister and News/matt-hancock'>Matt Hancock think that now is not the time and they want to throw a head to the public enquiry in the spring of next year. You have had their responses to the claims of rejecting News/dominic-cummings'>Dominic Cummings allegations in the land but not engaging, really, with the specifics of the details of what News/dominic-cummings'>Dominic Cummings allegedly yesterday in his select committee yesterday. Certainly, labourare select committee yesterday. Certainly, labour are still unhappy with what News/matt-hancock'>Matt Hancock said in the News/commons-yesterday'>Commons Yesterday News/say-'>Saying, look, the families of those who died deserve proper answers to those questions about testing, ppa and the policy around News/care-home'>Care Homes but i think it is very clear when the message were getting from senior ministers and the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister himself that he doesnt want to engage with the substance of those allegations at the moment and although this will rumble on for some time there is going to be evidence given by News/dominic-cummings'>Dominic Cummings and to that News/site-committee'>Site Committee and News/matt-hancock'>Matt Hancock himself will have the opportunity to appear before the community again to answer their questions directly so this will be ongoing but i think, for now, the strategy seems to be to not engage with exactly all the details that were laid on the News/table-yesterday'>Table Yesterday and just to reject the claims and News/say-'>Say, look, we are still getting on with handling this pandemic which is very much on going. Pandemic which is very much on anoin. ~ pandemic which is very much on train,. ,. Im joined now by lord sumption, who was a justice of the Supreme Court from 2012 to 2018. Thank you very much forjoining us. We have written in the News/telegraph-today'>Telegraph Today about what you heard News/dominic-cummings'>Dominic Cummings said yesterday. How convincing do think he was when you as he claimed that there was News/chaos-and-inNews/decision-'>Decision'>Chaos And InNews/decision-'>Decision at the heart of government .

I think that did come over quite convincingly government . I think that did come over quite convincingly mainly i over quite convincingly mainly because it is completely consistent with what we have witnessed over the last 15 months, in particularly the allegation that the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister changes his mind every five minutes is well borne out by facts that we all know. But i think youve got to realise where News/dominic-cummings'>Dominic Cummings is coming from. Cummings is a natural autocrat. He believes in a top down News/command-style'>Command Style of government where, to use his own words, you can have a kind of dictator he will click his fingers and everything will move into place and people will, no questions asked, get on with what he wants done. That is not the way that english government, british governments have traditionally worked, and hes obviously very frustrated at any kind of opposition. You could see in the interview how frustrated he was by the fact that the News/health-policy'>Health Policy is a concern of the News/department-of-health'>Department Of Health and he couldnt simply, from 10 News/downing-street'>Downing Street, Issue Orders and get them obeyed instantly. He had to go through the News/secretary-of-state'>Secretary Of State. Now, there are people, and May Cummings is one of them, who believe that dictatorial government is much more efficient than consultative government, but all history shows that that is simply not true. Dictatorial government is very inefficient. It has a minimum of comfort, consultation, a minimum of deliberation and that is a way to make mistakes. But deliberation and that is a way to make mistakes. Deliberation and that is a way to make mistakes. But he also talks about the fact make mistakes. But he also talks about the fact that make mistakes. But he also talks about the fact that in make mistakes. But he also talks about the fact that in his make mistakes. But he also talks about the fact that in his view i about the fact that in his view there were far more deaths than there were far more deaths than there needed to be, if that is the right words, particularly when it looks at what happened in News/care-home'>Care Homes, when we were promised that people will be shielded. There was no shielding policy. We were promised that people would be protected and they werent and weve seen those deaths in those residential homes.

Its a Clock Up the other countries have made too but thats obviously been no excuse. And clearly and obviously decanting people from hospitals without testing into News/care-home'>Care Homes was a tragedy which should never have happened. I have no idea who was responsible for that. Dominic cummings News/say-'>Says that it was News/matt-hancock'>Matt Hancock and we will have to see. In terms of locked arms, though, you would have taken issue with the necessity in the scale of them, havent you, in the past . But yet News/dominic-cummings'>Dominic Cummings was very much of the view that everything was far too delayed and yet we are now hearing from the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister that we need to be cautious about the easing of further restrictions injune in england.

Certification can be a tool which means that we reduce the risk of transmission and make venues and activities safer but i think both News/professor-wolf'>Professor Wolf and News/david-davies'>David Davies are right to stress that there is a balance here. You can never make any venue or any activity completely safe and quite rightly it has been pointed out even to doses of vaccination doesnt automatically inoculate someone completely against the risk of infection or transmission. What it does do is dramatically reduce the risk. If one can have confidence that people in a venue have been vaccinated or have immunity on the other way or have recently received a valid test which confirms their negative status, then you can know that venue will be safer. Set against that has to be the question about the cost and indeed the News/hassle-factor'>Hassle Factor that certification will involve.

We do know, again when it comes to science one of the points that has been made as we need to behave with a certain level of modesty and that means of course that science is the most robust and most rational way of making judgments but of course is new evidence emerges we have to refine thatjudgment. We do know that one dose of vaccine significantly reduces the risk of being infected, to doses even more so, but we also know that with the new indian variant there is a greater risk in some cases of transmissibility. And we are also attempting to find exactly how much protection brings. These percentages attached tasks that are the product of sophisticated research but they are in themselves and can only ever be in themselves and can only ever he attempts to encapsulate knowledge at the moment rather than having a perfect and invaluable truth.

The british website which allows people to share photos and videos in return for a News/subscription-fee'>Subscription Fee has become a global phenomenon during the pandemic and now has 120 Million users Worldwide. But News/bbc-News'>Bbc News has learned that under 18s have set up accounts by using fake identification. Rianna croxford reports. Its a british website thats boomed during the pandemic. Welcome to my onlyfans. Allowing people to post photos and videos in return for a News/subscription-fee'>Subscription Fee. It is popular with celebrities, who offer exclusive access into their lives, and now has more than 120 Million users Worldwide. The site hosts a range of content, from music to beauty videos, but its best known for pornography, and users have to be over 18. But we found that onlyfans is failing to prevent some underage users from selling and appearing in videos. Police News/say-'>Say one 14 year old used her News/grandmothers-passport'>Grandmothers Passport to sell explicit images. And the mum of a News/i7-year'>I7 Year old said her daughters News/bank-account'>Bank Account was frozen after she made £5000 from posting nudes. These are the type of comments she received while promoting her onlyfans account on twitter. Some request more graphic content and ask if shell meet up. Well, she did News/say-'>Say that, originally, she was only going to be doing pictures of her feet. The girls mum, who is played by an actor to protect the teenagers identity, News/say-'>Says she has since stopped posting on her account, but her nudes have been leaked across the internet. She wants to go to college, but she suffers really badly with anxiety. You know, she wont go out any more. She doesnt want to be seen onlyfans News/say-'>Says the girl had used a fake News/drivers-license'>Drivers License, and that approving the account was an oversight during a transition to a more effective age verification system. All active subscriptions have now been refunded. But News/the-uk'>The Uks News/lead-office'>Lead Officer for News/child-protection'>Child Protection News/say-'>Says onlyfans needs to do more to protect underage users. Its becoming increasingly clear that onlyfans is being used by children. Children, on occasion, are being blackmailed and exploited. The company are not doing enough to put in place the safeguards that prevent children exploiting the opportunity to generate money, but also for children to be exploited. Onlyfans News/say-'>Says their work to stop children accessing the site limits the likelihood of them being exposed to blackmail or exploitation, and if its notified about these behaviours, it takes swift action and disables accounts. The site has grown massively across the World, including in the us, where we found a child featured on an account run by an adult. In nevada, an News/i8-year'>I8 Year old sold videos on onlyfans of her having sex with her News/i7-year'>I7 Year old boyfriend, in breach of the sites rules. Friends News/say-'>Say they earned 5,000 from one video alone. After we contacted onlyfans, they shut down the account and refunded all active subscriptions. We are seeing News/child-sex-trafficking'>Child Sex Trafficking victims exploited and sold via 0nlyfans. An american watchdog also said its receiving reports of missing children appearing in explicit videos. That really hit our radar in 2019, where we saw a dozen or so children that were also linked with content on onlyfans, and that dramatically increased in 2020 we saw it almost triple. In a statement, 0nlyfans said preventing underaged use of it site was something it takes very seriously. It said it constantly reviews its systems to ensure they are as robust as possible, and manually reviews every application it receives. It added that it works with charities and organisations to raise any potential issues with the relevant authorities. In response to our findings, the government said that 0nlyfans had failed to properly protect children, and that the 0nline News/safety-bill'>Safety Bill would make sure this no longer happens. But News/child-protection'>Child Protection campaigners News/say-'>Say its still unclear whether this new law will actually require 0nlyfans to do more than it currently does to protect children from harmful content.

The study, for the World meteorological organisation, News/say-'>Says rising temperatures mean more melting ice, higher Sea Levels and extreme weather patterns. Our News/science-editor-david'>Science Editor David shukman News/say-'>Says that scientists were expecting a rise in temperatures. For many its not a huge surprise, but to the scientists doing the work its confirmation of yet another step towards potentially dangerous levels of warming. What happened was that scientists at the Met Office and in ten other countries pooled the results of their Modelling Efforts to try to work out whats going to happen in the coming years and thats how they came up with this agreed conclusion that there is a 40 chance, a reasonable possibility, that one of the next five years will see that average level reaching 1. 5 degrees above the preindustrial level. They point out that this will be a temporary situation, that natural fluctuations for example La Nina in the pacific, could cool the temperature down again in the next few years. But they do News/say-'>Say its a step towards the News/paris-agreement'>Paris Agreement limit of Global Warming, which is 1. 5 degrees, and of course that with every step that you take towards that, they News/say-'>Say the impacts of Global Warming could potentially become more severe.

I think everyone knows who News/david-cameron'>David Cameron is themselves, but the matter that was important as providing finance to small and medium sized companies, and that was a matter of enormous concern to me and the department during this period, so regardless of the identity of the person talking about it, that was a strand of work that both i and the department were engaged in in any case over the summer, because it was pressing importance to the economy and to many businesses across News/the-uk'>The Uk. But ou didnt many businesses across News/the-uk'>The Uk. But you didnt News/say-'>Say to anybody at any point, you didnt News/say-'>Say to anybody at any point, notwithstanding what you just said about point, notwithstanding what you just said about the importance of the issue said about the importance of the issue at said about the importance of the issue at hand, look, this is News/david-cameron'>David Cameron, issue at hand, look, this is News/david-cameron'>David Cameron, i issue at hand, look, this is News/david-cameron'>David Cameron, i would like you to look very carefully therefore at this particular issue that he has raised as a former particular issue that he has raised as a former News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister .

This was one of many strands of work, probably the one we spent the least time on over this period, nevertheless it was an avenue worth exploring in the context, and it was worth doing the work and ultimately concluding that it was not one that we should take forward, whereas we did take forward various other proposals.

We had inbound from a foreign regulator but much later in the year, october, that was when we had come the initial inbound was not from a regulator but from a foreign finance ministry. That happened much later in the year in october, regarding greensill, so it wasnt relevant to this period. You also asked about when i first became chancellor i was away at the situation at the bank and there was a News/resolution-process'>Resolution Process i was engaged in, as i was consulted by the bank. But obviously that is a completely separate and distinct entity from greensill. Then to your third point about general issues, we were not really aware of things that were in the public domain but were not made aware of any specific regulatory concerns about greensill from regulatory authorities at the time that we were looking at these various proposals. Mr; that we were looking at these various ro osals. G ,. Various proposals. My understanding is that an overseas various proposals. My understanding is that an overseas regulator various proposals.

What greensill itself wyelands bank. What we greensill itself wyelands bank. What we did do and the relevant information we received from the bank is passed as appropriate to named individuals in the department of business in accordance with work they were doing. You will be aware of strict confidentiality around information of this nature but we received two pieces of information from and i believe may and july, and past those appropriately to the department of business. But again, the wider issue was a distinct issue from greensill. So the wider issue was a distinct issue from greensill. From greensill. So would it be fair to News/say-'>Say that. From greensill. So would it be fair to News/say-'>Say that, when from greensill. So would it be fair to News/say-'>Say that, when it from greensill.

There was nothing that point collapsed . There was nothing that point that collapsed . There was nothing that point that lead you to think that . That is point that lead you to think that . That is correct.

Ultimately we decided not to take this forward but it was absolutely right to diligence the options in the space, not least because it had been alerted to us that this particular segment of the market may be one that required intention. Indeed, the bank of governor at one of your own hearings required attention. The bank of england the bank of england governor called out this area is one of interest. So it was entirely reasonable to be looking at this pace and entirely right to spend time to diligence proposals that might help small and medium sized companies, but in no way was their disproportionate effort on this particular set of proposals. It comprised a small amount of our work and crucially we didnt take it forward in The End, whereas we did take forward multiple other financing schemes.

The amount of time it takes is determined by the merits of each case in the context of which you are operating in, and during this period, financing for companies for something that was acutely important. As i said, many members of this committee raised it with me in parliament and in otherforums, so it is right that we put time to this, we provided lots of different schemes in The End but that News/policy-making-process'>Policy Making Process led us to explore multiple things, some of which we took forward, some of which we dont, and at the beginning of the process you dont know where youre going to end up, right . At the beginning of this, i certainly did not think i would end up doing 100 News/loan-guarantee-programme'>Loan Guarantee Programme for example. When it came to larger companies, as i think you probably heard from charles earlier, there were multiple options to try and solve the News/financing-gap'>Financing Gap to larger companies, and we looked at a ccf minus, see News/bill-plus-minus'>Bill Plus Minus see bill plus option. I did not know in order charles or Anyone Else at the beginning that that process, where News/policy-making-process'>Policy Making Process would end up.

Now, the government has been slow on board is, frankly, throughout the pandemic. It was slow to a formal quarantining system, slow to hotel quarantining. We now have this shambolic situation of the News/amber-list'>Amber List, which desperately needs to be sorted out, because of course the presence of variance is another fact of the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister has to take in account when looking at that 21st Of June date, so the government has to act now to make sure they are in the best position on 21st Ofjune. Taste best position on 21st Ofjune. We have ust best position on 21st Ofjune. We have just heard france is going to ban nonessential travel from News/the-uk'>The Uk from monday because of their fears about the so called indian variant of covid.

On The Indian variant, the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister in my view made a catastrophic error by not adding india to the red list on the 9th of april, on the same day as pakistan and bangladesh.

Specifically of course on self isolation, yes, it is the level of sick pay, our level of sick pay is among the very lowest in europe, if you compare it to sick pay in other countries, second, trying to make that one off £500 payment available too, so youve got, hence of coverage, thats the point, its making sure that whatever peoples circumstances are, they are not facing that awful dilemma of doing the best by their families all the best by public health. ,. ,.

But yes, there are still questions for the News/health-secretary'>Health Secretary News/matt-hancock'>Matt Hancock, and the News/prime-minister'>Prime Minister too, who was also keen to try to draw a line under it. I think the approach from government is they want to push their official response to the detail back if you like to the public enquiry next spring.
