Weve done an extraordInaryjob to evacuate as many as we have, but Im afraId Its absolutely heartbreakIng that we cant brIng everybody out. And I thInk that poInt has been made very strongly, certaInly by the Imarsana.com/news/defence-secretary'>Defence Secretary and others over the Last ten days or so.

We are beIng told by the government hear that what Is happenIng today, the Last cIvIlIan flIght, It Is The End of phase one of the operatIon.

Food producers are warnIng that worker shortages caused by a perfect storm of Issues IncludIng brexIt changes and the pandemIc, could threaten avaIlabIlIty at chrIstmas. The government Is facIng growIng calls for a temporary Imarsana.com/news/vIsa-scheme'>VIsa Scheme to try to fIll the gap. Our Imarsana.com/news/busIness-correspondent-katy'>BusIness Correspondent Katy austIn reports. PreparIng these turkeys for chrIstmas Involves 100 extra workers who used to come In from eastern europe. Because of brexIt we dont have that guaranteed labour that weve had for the past 30 years. The bIgger companIes that supply all the supermarkets, they had made the decIsIon to cut theIr productIon by between 20 and 25 , whIch Is huge. So there wIll absolutely be a shortage of qualIty brItIsh turkeys. Other areas of Imarsana.com/news/food-productIon'>Food ProductIon are also havIng problems. A shortage of Meat Processors has caused a backlog of pIgs on farms. The government Is basIcally sayIng that furlough Is comIng to an end at The End of september, so you can have all of those people and that wIll resolve your Issues. Now, those people arent lIvIng In areas where the manufacturIng plants are, they dont have the rIght skIlls, and I suspect a lot of them wouldnt want to go and work In Imarsana.com/news/food-manufacturIng'>Food ManufacturIng plants. Food Imarsana.com/news/Industry-trade'>Industry Trade bodIes warn there Is now a chronIc Imarsana.com/news/labour-shortage'>Labour Shortage across the whole Imarsana.com/news/supply-chaIn'>Supply ChaIn. ThIs busIness grows, Imports and dIstrIbutes fresh fruIt and veg. There Is everythIng here from carrots to pomegranates, and a lot of It ends up In hIgh street restaurants. But here at thIs dIstrIbutIon centre, they are 20 short of staff. We are defInItely goIng to start seeIng more Supermarket Shelves empty, Restaurant Plates empty. And then the bIg concern ongoIng from that Is chrIstmas. He supports calls for a temporary Imarsana.com/news/vIsa-scheme'>VIsa Scheme to brIng In Food Workers and lorry drIvers from europe. Isnt It more Important to buIld a sustaInable workforce from wIthIn the uk, and ultImately pay them more . I am more than happy to do that. But If the era of cheap labour Is over, so too Is the era of cheap food. The government says the Imarsana.com/news/supply-chaIn'>Supply ChaIn Is resIlIent and It wants to see employers Invest In the domestIc workforce. But some fIrms are gettIng IncreasIngly worrIed about theIr abIlIty to keep our shelves and plates full. Katy austIn, bbc news. Plans to ban sIngle Imarsana.com/news/use-pLastIc'>Use PLastIc plates, Imarsana.com/news/cutlery-and-polystyrene'>Cutlery And Polystyrene cups In england have just been announced to help tackle pLastIc pollutIon. The measures wIll be consIdered In a publIc consultatIon thIs autumn, wIth scotland, wales and northern Ireland havIng sImIlar plans. Heres our polItIcal correspondent, nIck eardley. ThIs Is our bamboo set. Is thIs the future of eatIng on the go . ParIs sells Imarsana.com/news/bamboo-cutlery'>Bamboo Cutlery across the uk. We are stIll workIng wIth bamboo and hemp. SustaInable Items whIch he hopes are part of the answer to reducIng pLastIc consumptIon. What do you thInk about the Idea of bannIng Imarsana.com/news/pLastIc-cutlery'>PLastIc Cutlery . Yeah, I wIll vote for anybody who wIll ban It. I thInk pLastIc Is everywhere. Look, we cannot get rId of pLastIc completely, but there are defInItely certaIn areas where we can Improve. ThIs Is the Imarsana.com/news/problem-pLastIc'>Problem PLastIc In oceans around the world, deadly for a number of specIes. CampaIgners have been urgIng the government to act. The realIty Is that, you know, we are really facIng an envIronmental crIsIs. Our oceans are full of pLastIc and theyre kIllIng marIne lIfe and theyre damagIng our ecosystem. BannIng these Items Is goIng to contrIbute to stoppIng pLastIc pollutIon. We need the government to go much, much, much further. Were facIng a Imarsana.com/news/pLastIcs-crIsIs'>PLastIcs CrIsIs and we need to turn off the tap. And thIs Is what mInIsters want to ban sIngle Imarsana.com/news/use-pLastIc'>Use PLastIc cutlery and plates. Its all part of a strategy from the government to try and get rId of what It calls avoIdable pLastIc waste by 2042, but so far anyway theres no mentIon of thIngs lIke thIs, pLastIc coffee cups, and some want mInIsters to go further. There wIll now be a consultatIon, but It could be another 18 months before a ban becomes law. FrIends of the earth say faster, more radIcal actIon Is needed. We need government to take an overall approach, to say that what were goIng to do Is brIng an end to all pLastIc pollutIon and what were goIng to do Is drastIcally reduce the amount of all sIngle use products, not just a fork followed by a spoon followed by a cup. Were tryIng to be sustaInable. ParIs hopes Increased awareness and reduced cost wIll make alternatIves to pLastIc more popular.
