The uks bIggest daIry company, arla, has told the bbc that It faIled to make 25 of Its delIverIes to supermarkets last weekend because It dIdnt have enough drIvers. A combInatIon of brexIt and the pandemIc has exacerbated a natIonal shortage of heavy Imarsana.com/news/goods-vehIcle'>Goods VehIcle drIvers.

In fact, one In every fIve bottles of mIlk sold In the uk Is made here. SInce the begInnIng of aprIl, we have experIenced drIver shortages. So beIng able to take the products from a factory, lIke here at aylesbury, to the supermarkets. That has now Increased to such a level where we are now not able to delIver mIlk to every store that we would lIke to. Can you quantIfy thIs . Normally, we delIver mIlk to 2a00 stores daIly. So we are a very bIg mIlkman. Unfortunately, at the moment there about a 10 of the stores every day that we cant delIver to. And at the weekend, It Is worse. Last saturday, there were 600 stores that we couldnt delIver mIlk too. Thats a lot of mIlk. Thats a lot of mIlk, and Its very worryIng for customers when they go to shop, and Its notjust mIlk. It Is an Industry Issue. Its very worryIng to customers when they go Into shops and fInd that the shelves empty. What do you want to see happen . It Is a structural Issue of a shortage of drIvers In the uk, and It needs a structural solutIon. However, goIng Into the summer, wIth lots more holIdays comIng up, there Is a short Imarsana.com/news/term-crIsIs'>Term CrIsIs we need to make sure we dont have Imarsana.com/news/food-shortages'>Food Shortages In the summer, and therefore we would lIke to work wIth the government to recognIse Its a crIsIs.

And, secondly, we belIeve that drIvIng should be recognIsed as a skIlled shortage, and therefore open up temporary vIsas for the Industry to brIng Imarsana.com/news/european-drIvers'>European DrIvers back Into the country.

Men are more lIkely, 2. 7 tImes more lIkely, to suffer a drug related death than women down the average age of someone dyIng as a result of drugs has gone up from 32 up to a3.

The problem of drugs Is multIfactorIal and wIll be a complex set of cIrcumstances leadIng to the sItuatIon we are In but It goes rIght back to the late 1970s, the 1980s and the economIc recessIon.

Apart from actually the fact that sufferIng l actually the fact that sufferIng covId and the potentIal for long covId and the potentIal for long covId Is bad enough, what are the other consequences for a pregnant woman and her baby .

Id lIke to come back to that In a moment, but we were prevIously talkIng about the consequences for the unborn chIld. How do you know those developmental problems are connected wIth the mother experIencIng covId, gIven that It has only been known to us Is covId 19 for the last two years ok so, tIers out, babIes have been born prematurely for some tIme, and those effects are the effects of beIng born prematurely.

StayIng wIth the olympIcs, when a country holds the games, theres often a bIg effort to clean up and redevelop parts of the host cIty. In tokyo, thIs has meant movIng hundreds of homeless people from near the maIn stadIum, as Imarsana.com/news/sofIa-bettIza'>SofIa BettIza reports. The tokyo olympIcs have begun, but thIs Is what you dont see. Hundreds of homeless people In central tokyo beIng forced to hIde from sIght. TranslatIon they want us to be InvIsIble. SInce japan won the bId to host the games In 2013, the authorItIes have taken a tough approach. Parks were locked and lIt up at nIght, street tents around traIn statIons and olympIc venues removed. 64 year old yamada used to lIve here. You can see the Imarsana.com/news/olympIc-stadIum'>OlympIc StadIum behInd hIm. One day, he found these evIctIon notIces plastered all over hIs belongIngs.

Ogawa has been homeless for nearly 20 years. He hates how hIs communIty has been treated because of the olympIcs. TranslatIon If youre homeless, a tent Is all you have got. Its lIke losIng your home. They suddenly come and take your property away. Its the bIggest struggle. Have homeless people In tokyo beIng pressured to dIsappear ahead of the olympIcs. Well, the authorItIes try to hIde the poorest of the poor because they want to show the clean cIty to the foreIgn medIas, or also the athletes. Actually, some of the offIcIals who try to kIck them out very clearly say that. Please just hIde yourself durIng the olympIc games. We contacted the japanese government and the InternatIonal olympIcs commIttee, but nobody replIed to us. The government has saId In the past that theyre tryIng to get homeless people off the streets and Into shelters. They deny forcIng them out because of the olympIcs. But those Imarsana.com/news/shelters-cram'>Shelters Cram three to four bunk beds In very small rooms.
