Tigray province but has admitted there are problems. Now on bbc news, Monday In Parliament. Hello and welcome to Monday In Parliament. Is a shake up of Planning Rules the way to solve Englands Housing Crisis . We need to take bold steps to provide enough homes in the places where people and communities need them. These proposals are nothing less than a Developers Charter that silences local communities so developers can exploit local communities for profit. As convictions for rape hit a record low, Thejustice Secretary is put under pressure. Enough is enough. Will he reverse these failures within a year or will he resign . Also in this programme, a new voice in the commons. Speaks welsh. But first, it was said to be one of the key issues in last Thursdays Chesham and amersham By Election that saw the conservatives lose one of their safest seats. Ministers want to make sweeping changes to englands Planning Rules as part of a drive to increase house building. The full details have yet to be published but critics among them, some conservative mps, fear the system will mean local residents have less of a voice. Labour tried to exploit the tory difficulties by leading a debate on the issue. Now, it was only last month in the Queens Speech Debate that we warned the government they would reap a political whirlwind if they went ahead with their plans to silence communities and Hand Control over planning to developers. They felt the first blast of that whirlwind in Chesham And Amersham, but it wont finish there. Now under the government proposals, residents will be gagged from speaking out while developers will be set loose to Bulldoze And Concrete over local neighbourhoods pretty much at will. These proposals are nothing less then a Developers Charter that silences local communities so developers can exploit local communities for profit. The government is thinking of replacing the current regime where local Planning Officials assess Applications Case by case with new rules based on zones. Councils would have to look favourably on development in renewal areas and in Growth Zones suitable applications would automatically gain initial approval. Madam deputy speaker, we are clear that to help make homeownership affordable for more people, we need to deliver more homes. Because by the age of 30, those born between 1981 in 2000 are half as likely, half as likely to be homeowners as those who were born between 1946 and 1965. And we need to take bold steps to provide enough homes in the places where people and communities need them. At the last general election, we made a commitment to deliver the homes that the country needs. Better quality homes of different designs and different tenures in the right places all around the country where they are needed. But many mps were concerned a local say in the process could be lost. We are not nimbus, that is not the accusation that should be thrown around, of those of us who might have some scepticism about some of the ideas ventured forth, nor indeed are we bananas, that is to say build absolutely nothing anywhere near anybody. What we want to see is a Planning Process, although some people may disagree and what we want to see is a Planning Process that involves and engages people and delivers the housing that we most certainly need. Communities help development happen as long as they can shape it. 0ne initial study has shown that places with Neighbourhood Plans accept more development. Therefore working with i communities to get better results than treating them as the Planning Equivalent of a goose with ever more. Housing shoved down them. Stripping away democracy at every level should be l avoided by a conservative government the Debate Offered Mps a chance to air local issues. We need more three and four Bedroom Family properties and will return, where people can have a good standard of living. But what developers want is to convey our ability to enlist one bedroom flats where they benefit from the highest Profit Margins while delivering the least for families and our community. Community should have more say on planning and development. They know what is needed locally and systems work better where people are working to get that rather than being set out. Part of the Housing Crisis we currently have in cornwall is very much driven by second Home And Holiday ownership. And therefore does he agree with me that it is time for the government to seriously look at requiring Planning Commissions to have a home that is not your primary residence . It is the case would i live in a bit of a part of The World, and please, | deputy speaker, do come and visit, but please dont buy a house there, not yet. Not yet until we get it sorted. Because they are right, j at the moment houses, people want to live there and be able to have their boat home there and that has hugej problems for the communities such as mine and st ives. Critics returned to the need for local involvement in key decisions. I think probably the most bogus claim made for the Government Planning reforms is that it will lead to more homes. Exactly the opposite. What it will do is incentivise the building of more unaffordable, sorry, few workable and unaffordable expensive properties rather than more affordable ones that we want. And that was the message i heard knocking on doors in Chesham And Amersham and that is the message i heard knocking on doors in my communities over the last few days in cumbria. We meet today in the shadow of the Chesham And Amersham By Election and i wish the new honourable member every success in her new role representing that constituency in that and welcome her to this house. This was an election won in the very worst Spirit Pandering to nimbihism, denying the social injustice that we are witnessing, and the privileging the interest of the haves over the Have Nots in our society. Simon clark. Labour has demanded that the Justice Secretary reverse failings in Conviction Rates for rape within a year or resign. Last week, Robert Buckland apologised to victims after a study found that less than 2 of cases in england and wales resulted in someone being charged. The minister came to the commons to set out what the government was doing to improve the situation. Over the last five years, we have seen an alarming decline in the number of police referrals, charges, prosecutions and convictions for these sort of crimes. A trend that the government is determined to reverse with urgency. And i want to pay tribute to the bravery of victims and to commend their courage in coming forward to report these crimes. It is crucial that the system gives all victims the reassurance that they will be believed and that they will receive the right support, right from the moment they report that crime to the conclusion of their case and beyond. He outlined measures which would allow victims to pre record their evidence and put the focus of attention on the suspect� s behaviour. The review represents just the beginning of this work. We must continue to challenge the entire system to deliver urgent and sustained change. We owe that to every victim of these terrible crimes. Every part of the system can and must do better. Ten years of cuts to the courts, to legal aid, the police, and the Crown Prosecution Service has created an environment in which victims are denied justice and criminals are let off the hook. The Lord Chancellor swore an oath to ensure the provision of resources for efficient and effective supportive of the courts. Claerly he has failed. And he went further. Enough is enough. Will he reverse these failures within a year or will he resign . One of the things that deters victims from supporting a prosecution is that. When it comes to trial, it is they who are put in the dock by their previous sexual history being dragged out and made the focus of the trial instead of the focus being on the defendant and what he actually did. Will he address this by backing | the new clauses that have been put forward on a Cross Party Basis into the police crime i and Court Sentencing Bill which will ensure that her previous sexual history is only ever brought up in court when theres been a previous application to the judge who has ruled that it is relevant to that l particular issue i which is on trial . I think the undue focus on the victim begins right from the initial investigation and i think that is wrong. And i think that the proper emphasis in this report is about looking at the person whos alleged to have done it. We know 44 of Rape Victims pull out of the Justice System before they are due in court and most will never come forward to the police at all, with trauma being a major reason for this. Can the Secretary Of State clarify what measures he has taken to ensure that sustainable funding for the mental Well Being and support of victims is available at every point on the path to Justice And Beyond . Robert buckland assured her he would be pressing for more funding. A conservative said there was a barrier because Rape Victims werent being believed. What is the Lord Chancellor going to do to hold the system to account for the actions that. Hes committed to to make sure that this report is delivered. And those barriers are broken down . I accept that confidence has taken a huge hit in the last few years. And i hope that through my acknowledgement of that and my willingness to take action, supported i know by members on all sides of this house, that we can start to grow that confidence and improve that trust that is so vital. Another conservative had harsh words for the police. He quoted the words of a victim. She said the police asked me what i describe myself as a young lady who wears red Nail Polish a Red Lipstick . They asked me how often i would go out drinking, the way they behaved made me feel like anything that happened to me was because i deserved it. The behaviour of the police in this case is a stark demonstration of why so many victims give up, yet the metropolitan Police Commissioner rebutted the case saying it made their job too difficult. Frankly unless the Senior Management of the met and other large police forces show a willingness to change and learn from these cases, im afraid we need to look for new Senior Management. David davis. Youre watching Monday In Parliament with me, david cornock. A former us national Security Adviser, general herbert mcmaster, has said that the chinese Community Party foisted covid i9 on The World. He was speaking to a parliamentary committee about the importance of engaging with international security threats. General mcmaster was Security Adviser to donald trump, but was fired after a year in thejob. I think it was a mistake for the Trump Administration to break out a homeland Security Adviser and elevate that homeland Security Adviser to the same levels as national Security Adviser. Now, weve worked well together, coordinated efforts, but there were periods of tension, and of course, weve learned from 9 11, i think we shouldve learned. From 77, we shouldve learned that we cant just focus on our Homeland Security efforts at the waters edge. We have to ensure that we are engaged with challenges and threats to national security abroad because once those threats recharge, they can only be dealt with at an exorbitant cost and price. I think thats also the case for Covid 19, as the Chinese Communist Party foisted Covid 19 on The World by suppressing the news of human to human transmission, Shutting Down Domestic Travel Before International travel, going after any of the doctors orjournalists who were trying to ring the Alarm Bells about it. Of course, those actions prevented us, The World, from containing what couldve been a local epidemic, and it became a global catastrophe. With the uks new national Security Adviser starting work in march, General Mcmaster was asked for his advice. You want the best person in the job, not somebody who isjust going to be blindly loyal in the sense that the national Security Adviser thinks that it is his or herjob to tell the president exactly what the president wants to hear. This was the problem with Mcgeorge Bundy and the relationship with lyndonjohnson during the period in which vietnam became an american war. The president s closest advisers determined what the president wanted to hear, and then set about telling him exactly that. And some of the president s advisers concluded that to maintain their good relationship with lyndon johnson, they had to tell him exactly what he wanted to hear. But of course, that begs the question 0k, what the Heck Good is your advice anyway, then, if youre only telling the president what he or she wants to hear . So, i think its important for the Security Adviser to have a sense of duty to the elected president , to be trusted by the president , but not maybe. Its no secret that i didnt have a particularly amicable relationship with donald trump. But i was determined not to do him the disservice of telling him what he wanted to hear. I think, as you know, maybe around a Prime Minister or around a president , sometimes it can be an environment that i would describe as competitive sycophancy. And i think its important for the national Security Adviser to not fall into that kind of environment and to do his or her best to give best advice. Which one General Mcmaster. The head of the body that advises the government on major Infrastructure Projects has said ministers must hand more Power And Money to the english regions. Sirjohn armitt told the public Accounts Committee that spending on big schemes by itself would not create the opportunities and jobs the government wanted to see. Sirjohn is the head of the national infrastructure commission, which advises ministers on major investments like high speed rail. What would you think needs to be done, from your experience youve dealt with so many projects in your lifetime that will actually really have a chance of delivering those jobs and that long Term Change . Its not the responsibility of the project to deliver the growth. The project is there to provide a resource which should enable others to have the confidence to invest. The decision about what to invest in is not going to be made by the project. The project is there to provide an opportunity, to provide confidence people that the right Transport Infrastructure is going to be in place and its going to drive jobs in particular sectors. A lot of other factors were important, he said, such as skills, Education Or Support from local government. Before those things are reasonable, they will never be perfect. You will give confidence to people to invest. But there is still a risk that that investment, especially with covid and brexit, these are still impacts . Even with the huge investment that is hs2, there is a Danger Itll spawn this natural economic growth. Is the responsibility of local leaders to come up with what they think is right for their people and take responsibility to what they deliver to their voters. There has to be more devolution from the centre, that they should release the funds of the authority because theyve got good ideas in place. Do you think theres a risk that without that, the idea that we will grow the economy and other parts of the Country Isnt going to happen . Yes, theres a real risk. If you dont evolve, youre believing the centre always knows best. How can the centre know what is best for newcastle . How can they know best for darlington was back . They cant, how should it . He favoured longer term financial settlements for local Areas 01 regions. Sirjohn armitt. Now, its only three weeks since the government unveiled plans for a Tutoring Revolution to help children in england catch up with their schoolwork after the pandemic. The billion pounds allocated wasnt enough according to downing streets so called catch up csar, Sir Kevan collins, who resigned. And the arguments over how many children will benefit continued at question time. Will the Secretary Of State tell the house what proportion of children will have received tutoring under the national Tutoring Programme by The End of this academic year . Well, mr speaker, as we set out, our aim was for a quarter of A Million children to be going through the national Tutoring Programme scheme, but as a result of a take up of national tutoring and the success that individual tutoring has had in small groups, we set out our ambition while and aim to massively expand that over the coming years. The latest figures show that its under 3 of pupils in this academic year, and even the funding for next year will reach only 8 of student. Yet, last week and Prime Ministers questions, the Prime Minister said the government want to get on the side of all kids who dont have access to tuition and support them. So, why did the Secretary Of State and the Prime Minister failed to persuade the chancellor of the exchequer to invest in whats needed to secure children because my future as . Or does he in fact agree with the chancellor, who said the government Have Maxed Out On Support . Well, mr speaker, the Prime Minister and myself have outlined a clear plan in order to be able to roll out tutoring to 6 Million children. We recognise what an important role that small Group Tutoring has and how this can benefit every child. That is why we have set out ambition, thats what we will deliver on. Its already been an incredibly successful programme. We want to build on it, we want to add extra flexibility so it can reach all children right across the nation. But those numbers didnt settle the argument, Kate Green complained to the speaker. Im sure in adverted leak, the secretary of State Answer to me said he and the Prime Minister had a plan for tutoring 6 Million children across the country. This is an error made last week by the Prime Minister and Prime Ministers questions, but the correct figure is 6 Million tutoring sessions. That is slightly different, mr speaker. Want to come back . To be excellently clear, we aim to roll out tutoring for 6 Million pupils across the country. Gavin williamson. Reports that ministers are considering Quarantine Exemptions so uefa officials and their vip guests can come to the euros finals at wembley is causing controversy off the pitch. While some believe the measure will ensure the event takes place in the uk after threats it could head to hungary if the people arent allowed in others have attacked the decision as unfair. Speaking in the lords, a Culture Minister tried to reassure concerned peers. We already permit certain officials guests to enter the uk for these matches under the elite sport exemption. We will continue to keep the scope of these exemptions under review, and are working closely with the fa and uefa to ensure these euro 2020 matches take place successfully. At all times of this pandemic, the Health Remains are priority. Some peers had their doubts. Will she accept that given their Track Record on travel from india, which ceded the delta variant, spiking in 2400 after the g7 summit, that the public is rightly concerned that their right to life and livelihoods might again be at risk due to the possible importation of, shall we call it, the Uefa Variant . If these exemptions highlighted in the media go ahead . 0n the 18th ofjune, i the Prime Minister said protecting Public Health was his priority on this issue. So, what Public Health data has the government got that indicates up to 2500 i uefa official will have to quarantine . Coming into the country without quarantine, sends the wrong messaging to the general public that quarantine is not important and that there is one rule for them and one rule for people who are seen as more important. But one peer said it would affect more than vips if uefa did move the final. Many thousands of fans have tickets to a game at wembley, and Business Supply chains have been preparing them for some long time. Perhaps uefa should remember it was the fashion of fans in this country thats off the threat of the european super league. So, to remove games would be a disgraceful betrayal. Another called for something else to be taken into account. Will the minister tell us how many of these delegates coming here have been fully vaccinated . Surely, that is a factor we should know before making any other decisions. 0thers questioned why the loosening of restrictions was being considered for football matches, but not elsewhere. Why is there such a disconnect between the government rules for football and those for culture . Quite apart from the terrible problems facing artists, happy revelers of matches on tv inside bars and pubs over the weekend. The points i made in my Ap Pg classical Music Letter to 0liver Dowden last week are all the more germane. Is it not of the lead ridiculous they shouting, chanting and drinking fans can congregate and hug each other with a small vaccinated and socially Distance Crowd cannot meet to reverse . These are exemptions that if you, we saw similar in the g7. Creating cynicism of where the policies are based on evidence. Not just amongst protesters, but amongst the most lockdown compliant citizens. The minister tried once more to reassure her colleagues. 0ur Number one priority is the public Health And Safety of our citizens. The second is to be good host. To those teams and vips coming to this country, and in order to do so, we will build on the existing Elite Sport Exemptions and anyone allowed in will be subject to l the same restrictions.

Until then, from me, david cornock, bye for now. Hello. Monday was the summer solstice, but for some places, including parts of Southeast England, it was colder than the winter solstice. This was the picture as we ended the day in pontypridd, south wales, so quite a lot of cloud around there. Through the course of the night, though, The Cloud has tended to break up a little bit. So, tuesday, it will be a drier day in the south, certainly compared to what we had on monday. And for most places, some spells of sunshine around. Low pressure that brought Mondays Rain will be slowly clearing away towards the south. We have got another Weather Front approaching from the North West. Before it gets there, though, a lot of clear and dry weather. Quite a chilly start to the day, single figures in the north. In fact, those temperatures close to freezing in a few rural glens in scotland, so perhaps even A Touch Of Frost to start the day. But tuesday morning, for most of us, it is dry, it is bright with some sunshine. Cloudier for the southeast of England And East anglia. A few spots of rain for the likes of Kent And Sussex which should clear away through the day. So, light winds, not particularly warm for the time of year temperatures around the East Coast around about 15 to 17 degrees. The warmest spots probably for North West england, into wales. 20 degrees or so towards cardiff. We have got some patchy rain arriving across Northern Ireland and Western Scotland through the evening, and overnight into wednesday, thatjust spills its way a little bit further south. So it wont be quite as cold as we start the day on wednesday, but the lowest temperatures will be across parts of southern and Southeast England first thing. So, through wednesday, then, weve got this warm front slowly pushing south, bringing quite a lot of low cloud, mist, murk and Drizzly Rain, but towards the south, its going to be a fine, dry day on wednesday. So, Sunshine Holding On for southern england, East Anglia as well. Further north, we have got more in the way of cloud, a few spots of Drizzly Rain coming out of this cloud for some places as well. Temperatures getting up to about 20 22 degrees where you do see the sunshine. Some kind have the scum typically the high teens where you are stuck under The Cloud, towards the north and North West. Into thursday, again, weve got a Weather Front thats a bit more active this time across Western Scotland, perhaps parts of Northern Ireland also seeing some fairly Heavy Rain on thursday, slowly slipping its way south. I think much of england and wales holding onto some dry weather, variable amounts of cloud. 20 22 degrees in the south, but the mid to high teens further north. Bit of a mixed picture as we look towards The End of the week. Most of us see some drier and eventually some slightly warmer weather too as we head towards the weekend. Still, one or two showers around on friday. Bye bye. Welcome to bbc news, im david eades.
