Crack pitch now on bbc news, dateline london. Hello and welcome to dateline london with me geeta guru murthy. This week, all the uk governments problems seemed to assemble at once. Even the prime ministers supporters in the conservative party and the press have started to ask searching questions about the governments handling of the pandemic. As borisjohnson warns of a second wave, more restrictions and the tracing regime is clearly struggling to cope, the labour party says the government has lost control of events. Also today, from the rule of six to the rule of law as brexit reappears in british politics. The Northern Ireland secretary, brandon lewis, admitted the new internal markets bill will break international law.

Signs of unravelling. Those are our headlines. Now on bbc news, its time for dateline. Hello and welcome to dateline london. I am geeta guru murthy. It has become the new conventional wisdom that the polls cannot be trusted. In the us the latest polls give joe biden a large lead, as much as 16 points in the popular vote at the last count. Perhaps the unwritten story is that the polls may be right. If so then we may be underestimating the scale of a Biden Victory.

The split in popular opinion was then 51 41 to reagan, and that is in similar territory to the split now between biden and trump where biden is at around 52 to trump on 42 .
