Late last night, and the tanker andromeda was back under the control of its crew after what the ministry of defence called a suspected hijacking. 16 members of the special boat squadron, based at nearby poole, were landed on the ship as night fell. Defence secretary ben wallace said. What is good to see is the reaction from ourforces, the coordination between our agencies. Number 10 would have been fully involved in what was going on. This is a good outcome for britain. The drama began yesterday morning as the ship prepared to enter the Fawley Oil Refinery near southampton. Seven stowaways believed to be nigerians are said to have become violent and made verbal threats to the crew. They retreated to a safe place on board the ship.

Retailers will be meeting with the Welsh Government today to clarify the ban on selling non essential items in supermarkets.

Ministers are continuing to insist they will not fund School Meal Vouchers for children in england during the half term holiday despite calls for a re think from some conservative mps. The government has come under pressure on the issue following a high Profile Campaign by the footballer Marcus Rashford. Scotland, wales and Northern Ireland have already introduced food Voucher Schemes. 0ur Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake joins us from westminster. Good morning. So. Will the government change their minds . There isa government change their minds . There is a lot of pressure out there. Good morning. There is a lot of pressure. It does not seem that ministers are in the mood to change their minds at the moment but as we have seen Marcus Rashfords campaign has proved to be incredibly effective already so far this year and the government was forced into a u turn earlier on in the year. They make the point, ministers, just now, that a couple of things have changed since then. Firstly they have increased availability payments under the universal Credit System of benefits, and also the government has given something in the region of £60 million to local authorities in england to spend in support of families who are struggling. That is why we have seen some already provide a food Voucher Scheme, some issuing food parcels, although some councils are already warning the money is running out or has run out. A couple of indications this issue is not going away now half term has come here in england. 870,000 people and counting have signed a petition by Marcus Rashford online to get the government to change its stance. Labour are saying they will force another vote in the house of commons if the government does not change its policy, and there are a number of conservative mps who themselves are very uneasy about the way the government has handled this and also some saying there does need to be a rethink. Last time mps voted on this, the commit won carefully, just a handful of tories rebelling. They would not want to put that to the test again. Thank you very much. We will have the Health Secretary at matt hancock here at 7 30am. Meanwhile Marcus Rashford has been given another award for his work on the Free School Meals campaign.

Its management of the pandemic has been widely supported here, but with venues closing again, the mood may change and therell be no gyms to let off steam. Of course, that will undermine our.
