see some of the refugees also walking along many people have tried to take shelter among the trees it's a very difficult situation certainly the islanders have had enough they want these people to go they say it's affected their livelihoods the economy tourism here and the refugees want to go but the message here certainly from the authorities is that none of these people are going to be going getting off this island at all british m.p.'s have given initial approval to a breaks that even the u.k. government admits could break international law but the internal market bill has only passed the initial stage there will now be 4 days of debate it will give ministers the power to modify rules already agreed in the withdrawal agreement on the movement of goods from northern ireland to great person on state aid if the 2 sides don't agree a future trade do. new coronavirus snow was in england prohibiting gatherings to just 6 people have come into force the u.k.

has seen a spike in cases course primarily by people in their teens and twenty's but as lawrence lee reports from manchester there worries that many will ignore the new restrictions the source of term and it's a big one for these 30 years will be taking their final exams but as well as contending with not being allowed into lecture theatres they're also receiving lectures from the government about how they should behave as your health secretary the u.k. government's health secretary has made a series of videos posted on tick talk aimed squarely at young people so what does this group make of it all i think that they get caught message cross where the quicker you guys stick to the rules the quicky can potentially go out again which would resonate with me definite progress concerns leaving this year is actually looking for a job and i think if they maybe move towards the message slightly more maybe it would resonate more of us instead with the virus spreading most rapidly among the young how to control them has become a crucial issue one route is to shut everything down the students union which
3:20 am
should be hosting parties for new arrivals is close most studying will be online and anyone going into a building has to queue and be checked but spend a few hours in a city like this in the most striking thing is that the only people around are the young older people seem to be hiding from them over the course of the last few weeks a narrative has developed in this country that says that the young are basically selfish plagued areas who might end up forcing a 2nd lockdown on the u.k. but it is also the case that the self the university is supposed to be a time of absolute joy for young people to be free to do the things that young people want to do and all of that is being taken away from them balancing those 2 completely conflicting demands is going to be basically impossible the council has been working with the police and the university and they'll be bombarding students with message. does that say any fun left will disappear completely if people don't get it right the message is if we can't control it now why if we can't stop the
3:21 am
spread then actually we risk having further knock dynes imposed upon us i'm not sikkim message that you know if you want to socialize i'm socializing with the limitations are in place at the minute means that those opportunities will be available in the future and the restaurants favored by students there trying to enforce their own codes of behavior as well the government can only do so much the police can only do so much that. the owners cannot can only do so much with the law if you want to bring it thinks down the ultimately is responsible for yourself across manchester alone there are $100000.00 students within a few days they will be here the start of term a huge blow to their expectations and a test of their will power. in manchester. the mayor of rochester new york has suspended the city's police chief over the killing of daniel pruett she said the incident revealed institutional problems in the department 41 year old black
