When rishi sunak announced the winter plan last month, it was for the economy to start recovering. What we are expecting to hear some sort of further support, particularly for businesses in tier 2. They are in this worst of all world situation where they have not been told to shut that some of the other restrictions brought in on peoples lives are having a huge impact. In particular the ban on mixing households indoors. It is obvious that france cannot go for a pint in a pub or that france cannot go for a pint in apubora that france cannot go for a pint in a pub or a local cafe, it will have an impact on those businesses.

I thought that was going to happen ten days ago. The reality is starting to drift and nuanceis reality is starting to drift and nuance is creeping in. What we have seen is a reintroduction of things you cannot do under regulation and guidance. The tiering relates to both. What that has done is confuse the messaging again. The footballer Marcus Rashford has vowed to continue his campaign for children from low income families in england to get Free School Meals outside term time, after a labour motion in support of the idea was defeated in the commons. As long as they dont have a voice, they will have mine, he wrote after mps voted by a majority of 61 against an extension of the scheme until the end of the easter holidays. Five conservatives rebelled. Lisa hampele has more. Breakfast club is the guarantee of a meal some children might not get at home. Throughout the Summer School holiday, many families relied on Free School Meal vouchers instead. With half time approaching, holiday hunger is again on the minds of many. Now we have parents who dont have jobs any more, so then we have to think about the parents who dont have jobs, how are they to survive . But labour lost their motion. It had accused the government of walking away from its obligations to hungry children. Only a handful of conservative mps voted with labour. If we acknowledge that children risk going hungry in term time by providing them with Free School Meals, despite the provision of universal credit and the other things that have been mentioned by the government, we know they risk going hungry in the holidays, too. Among the conservatives voting with the government was an mp with strong words aimed at parents and Marcus Rashfords campaign. Where is the slick pr campaign, encouraging absent parents to take some responsibility for their children . I do not believe in nationalising children. Instead, we need to get back to the idea of taking responsibility. Commentator rashford. In a Statement Last night, the footballer said. Our views are being clouded by political affiliation.

It was mr 0bamas First Campaign speech in support of his former Vice President , joe biden. 0ur north america correspondent Aleem Maqbool reports. It was a strange way to attend a political event. They came in their cars to see their former president s first drive in rally forjoe biden. I think what barack 0bama brings is the sense when america was great. When we were happy to go out, when we could go out and have a good time, when we were respecting and loving each other.
