on brexit this morning. european union officials say can you break down that figure for me? they need ministers to put forward you've talked about a sum fresh brexit proposals by the end of £1 billion of additional funding, of tomorrow in order how much is direct government to break the deadlock. funding and how much is coming from the extra revenue raised both sides say negotiations in from the council tax? can you separate that out for me? brussels yesterday were difficult. the government suffered another the majority of that setback as the lords voted will come from local funding. to amend the trade bill, the police has always been calling on the government a locally funded service, to join a new customs union and most of the additional funding with the eu after brexit. comes from additional capacity that police and crime commissioners have the result means mps will now get a vote on whether to stay been given to precept on the council tax, up to £24 a year of additional in the customs union when the legislation precept on the council tax. returns to the commons. that is the traditional way that much of our policing has been and the labour leader, funded, but there is also central jeremy corbyn, has held talks government grant funding in that mix. with senior conservative mps who want to keep a close relationship with the eu. he says he's trying to find a deal that could get through parliament in order to prevent a no deal brexit. my my determination is to present a no—deal brexit, reach an agreement, as i understand it, 68% of police funding there agreement, which is why i comes central government, wrote to the prime minister with my is that wrong? well, i can't give you the exact proposals and took to the european percentage figures... union. they didn't agree with it

all. i didn't expect them to. but well, i believe it is, nearly 70% comes from central government, they said there was a basis for so let me ask you this. when sadiq khan or many other people negotiation here. my market with come to the chancellor what is called the common market two in your office, and they say we want more money, you say we're already putting £1 billion group was to discuss the options for of extra funding in, when they say we need more than that because we have a problem working with the economic area. we are facing right now, our political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster and joins me now. what are you going to say? good morning. a very limited window well, in relation to the mayor to break the brussels deadlock from of london, we make funding available to the mayor of london, and it is for him to decide the point of view of mps here as what the priorities are. well who want to scrutinise any and of course i talk to my colleagues across government proposal before they would vote on about funding issues, and we've got a spending review it next tuesday. i think you are coming up later this year, absolutely right. we are getting and as you would expect, very close to a position where this there are lots of conversations going on about where we should is incredibly precarious for the focus additional funding, and you won't be surprised there are many, many demands government. why? firstly talks in for the funding that is available. brussels are not going well. there today, we are focussed on knife crime, and rightly so, has been no breakthrough yet and all but there are many other demands the signs are that the two sides are on available public spending. myjob is to make sure that still some way off finding some sort in dealing with an issue like this, we use public resources in the most effective way. of compromise on the irish border that means making sure that we prioritise within police issue. and the government funding, in order to ensure that the public‘s priorities are being dealt with, desperately needs for there to be a and right now i am sure

that the public priority change. they need to get some sort is dealing be knife crime. of legally binding changes this is to have any chance really of getting through the commons. we know about the conservative brexiteers who didn't back the prime minister back in january. and didn't back the prime minister back injanuary. and they didn't back the prime minister back in january. and they are didn't back the prime minister back injanuary. and they are not prepared to back her again unless she gets these changes from europe in the next couple of days really. as you say, europe is now saying, the 11th hour mission to find a solution to the brexit impasse has well, we have only got until the end reached staunch resistance in brussels, with no real of tomorrow really for you guys to signs of a breakthrough. the official line was that the talks come up with something that we can between british ministers and the commission had been "difficult", so you can then scrutinise and we can look at imagine what the reality was like behind the scenes. and potentially thrash something the government has been trying out. we are getting warnings from to get changes to the backstop, designed of course to prevent a hard government this morning as well, the border between the uk and ireland. well, nathalie loiseau, brexit wing of the party, that they france's european affairs minister, really need to watch what they are spoke to martha kearney on the bbc‘s radio 4 today programme doing. chancellor philip hammond earlier today. martha started by asking how close we re doing. chancellor philip hammond were saying this morning that if the she thinks the two sides are, deal is voted down on tuesday, it to finding a solution. creates a real uncertainty. the chances are that parliament will vote to extend the brexit process, and will say to mps, look, you have we sincerely hope that we find a solution together. actually the solution got a lot more control over this is on the table.

the withdrawal agreement, now. saying to the erg and others, the way it was negotiated by the british negotiator be very careful about what you wish and michel barnier, is the best possible solution, because it provides for time to work for, and at the same timejeremy on the future relationship, corbyn is now flirting with the idea it provides for certainty for citizens on both sides of the channel, and it's a very balanced agreement, so we definitely think that maybe there should need some clarification, some reassurances, but we cannot re—open this of the common market two which would negotiation on the withdrawal agreement because it is balanced. meana of the common market two which would mean a much closer relationship with the european union, staying in the single market, staying in a customs union going forward. all this points towards a crucial few days ahead but very little positive for the government. jeremy corbyn had a meeting with conservative ministers and because of that vote in the house of lords on the trade bill, there are hints that are possibly of but you will know, that is your view a move towards a softer brexit. yes, of it, but it was overwhelmingly defeated in the house of commons, which is why theresa may and i think that is a fair analysis. the government's attorney general now have been going to brussels what the trade bill vote means is to try and reach some kind of compromise on the backstop, that it will go back to mps. the are you saying that is impossible? government desperately wants to get rid of anything that suggests we would stay in a customs union, but it will mean at some point in the

next few weeks, mps vote on that idea again, whether or not to keep a closer trading relationship with well, is it so important europe. thejeremy corbyn to have this backstop? not because we want to use it. development feeds into that we don't like the backstop, we don't narrative as well because it is want to have to implement it, senior frontbenchers and the labour and if we have to we don't side now saying we have been want to stay in the backstop. listening to these conservative we all agree it should be temporary and it's a last resort solution. but why not make that clear in legal terms then? it is written in the withdrawal agreement, just read it and you will see, that we don't want to rebels, serious people, former stay in the backstop, that it is a last resort solution. unless we find a better solution in the future relationship, and until we find it, we have no reason to stay in the backstop. ministers, who have been working on this plan for a while to keep the uk as close as possible to the european union. it is saying to them we are not in the same place as you yet but we are open to your idea. as you but the uk can't leave unilaterally, which is why so many have pointed out, that has infuriated some on the labour side parliamentarians here are concerned because they think it is a way of about this, and one of the proposals brought forward by the government jeremy corbyn moving away slightly from the idea of backing another was to let the independent referendum. if the government can't arbitration panel which is part get something concrete to take to of the withdrawal agreement mps in the next few days, you will have a role in deciding on the backstop, why hear a lot more talk about that very wouldn't that be acceptable? idea that if parliament reject the

deal that the prime minister put to them on tuesday, mps could take control of the process and there could be a lot more talk and more you know, the 27 cannot leave unilaterally either. moves towards something softer. 0k, it is a temporary solution thank you. an important 48—hour. until we find something better, and we accepted the 27 member states nick eardley at westminster for us. of the european union accept that we could implement this last resort solution, so this is an effort, a man in his 20s has become the latest victim we all have to make an effort so that we can start the really of knife crime in the uk, interesting and important after being stabbed conversation about the to death in east london. the latest killing comes as the mayor of london, sadiq khan, joined police and crime future of our relation. commissioners from england and wales in demanding more police on the streets. they've also warned the system for dealing with young people who are excluded from school is contributing to the knife crime problem. we'll be speaking to the commissionerfor the west midlands in a moment, the school run this morning may be but first, alexandra a little more colourful than usual, mackenzie has this report. as thousands of children step out of the pages of their favourite another death, another bereaved family. victims of this current stories and dress up for world book day. the event takes place in over spike in knife crime. 100 countries worldwide and across the uk up to 15 million here in east london, books will be gifted to children a man in his 20s was found yesterday to encourage them to read and write. by police officers and paramedics. to mark the occasion, he died at the scene. illustrator rob biddulph and author malorie blackman have been speaking on bbc breakfast about why reading is important — and the books that made

the 16th person to be stabbed an impact on them. to death in london this year. theresa may was home secretary when police numbers were reduced. labour say those cuts are part of this current problem. reading for pleasure is so the problem is that important, and it is not, it is not violent crime has doubled. something that works to the the rise, mr speaker, has been driven by austerity, detriment of the rest of the curriculum, it works for the benefit something the prime minister told us of it, so we do need to tackle this a few months ago was over. you cannot keep communities and encourage children to read with, safe on the cheap. encourage pa rents it's no good members and encourage children to read with, encourage parents rather to read with hair children or encourage the children to read to their parents if on the opposition benches you are not confident as a reader and encourage a ten minute story time in schools every day. question standing up and saying, "no, for you, on the spot, the book that you're not," it is a fact that more money is being put into the police this year, changed you ? that more money is being put for you, on the spot, the book that changed you? changed me? my into the police next year. favourite as a kid was, i mean it's london's mayor sadiq khan has described this as a national crisis. he's urging the prime minister a classic, how the grinch stole to put 10,000 police officers back on the streets. christmas i can remember reading that with my parent, that inspired he says her idea of a knife crime summit may throw crime me to try writing picture books. summit may throw up good soundbites, mine, iam but it won't solve the problem. me to try writing picture books. mine, i am older than you, so...

the home office says it's me to try writing picture books. mine, iam olderthan you, so... the listening to police officers, one i remember reading and thinking as law enforcement is vital. i must read more, iwant but say it's also about early one i remember reading and thinking i must read more, i want to read intervention and preventing people turning to crime in the first place. more was mr medal‘s muddles. i alexandra mackenzie, bbc news. remember it being one of the first books i read by myself and i speaking earlier, the chancellor, remember cracking up laughing at philip hammond, said that dealing what was going on and the pleasure i with knife crime is notjust got from reading those words and about money and that the government understanding those words and so forth and it made me want to read will look at spending priorities. more and when asked about committing well, world book day is the uk's top more money to the police twitter trend this morning — in the spending review later this year he said there were many and is also trending worldwide. more than 7,000 tweets have been demands for funding available. sent in the last three hours. benhurst primary tweeted out these pictures of their staff in fancy within that envelope of police dress to mark the occasion. funding, the police need to ensure that they prioritise the things that the children's author david walliams matter most to ordinary people. and said he was honoured that his books right now, we know from polling, are featured on a special postbox that people consider tackling knife on world book day, adding, "letters are so much more meaningful crime should be the number one priority that the police are focused than a text or email." on. so i want to see police forces and from the twitter surging officers from other duties account of the late author into dealing with knife crime, roald dahl, we have this quote from his much—loved book nipping this problem in the bad matilda: "all the reading she had

done had given her a view of life early, making sure we turn this spike around and don't allow it to grow that they had never seen." spike around and don't allow it to gi’ow any spike around and don't allow it to grow any further. let us look a at what you are welljoining us from birmingham reading and looking at. number one is david jamieson, police and crime commissioner on the most read uk urged to offer for the west midlands. a cce pta ble on the most read uk urged to offer acceptable brexit plan, that is the presumably you have co—signed this 48—hour effective deadline the uk letter because you believe there is brussels says has to come up with an a correlation between knife crime and officers on the streets. there alternative to get through the isa and officers on the streets. there is a clear correlation with the impasse, the brexit impasse and of number of police that we have. we have lost 2000 and the west course, mps in the uk putting midlands, quarter of our force, have lost 2000 and the west midlands, quarter of ourforce, and we have seen the work that we do in pressure for that deal as well, because they need to see the detail neighbourhoods substantially reduced. but the more worrying thing of the proposals to scrutinise the over a period of four or five years, detail before they vote on tuesday we have stopped doing a lot of that in the house of commons on theresa good diversionary work, working with may's plan. let's just scroll young people, building up in the house of commons on theresa may's plan. let'sjust scroll on down to the most watched section, relationships and getting relationships and getting relationships between gangs sorted out. a lot of that really good work, number one, ebola in the democratic like visiting schools, has almost republic of congo, the biggest outa come to an end now because of the cuts in numbers. there is a clear break in that country ever. ——

connection between the two. the outbreak. the efforts of health hearts and minds stuff is on the workers being hampered by fighting wane, you think? and is there more stop and search? stop and search among militia groups and our deputy again isa stop and search? stop and search again is a temporary measure. it africa reporter has been reporting doesn't solve problems of on the challenges and lovely criminality and in particular knife su ccesses on the challenges and lovely successes for health workers trying crime. we did in fact in recent to combat ebola. it is a fantastic weeks have 80 knives taken away from stop and search, so it does have a report. this is a longer havion, role, but at the police only really worth watching but we will show you a report coming up injust suppress criminality, particularly knife crime. what we have got to a few minutes' time. then at number look at as well is the causes of it. five, growing up mixed race, this is pa rt and local authorities in birmingham, five, growing up mixed race, this is part of the bbc‘s season crossing where i am today, we have lost all divides, encouraging people to come oui’ together this is the story of bilal. where i am today, we have lost all our youth work. there is very little going on now. it is that type of thing that makes a difference as to whether children get into he is telling his story, there we criminality or not. what do you make of the suggestion that there is a 90, he is telling his story, there we go, idid he is telling his story, there we go, i did get it to play, he is link between school exclusions and telling his stories as parent of the knife crime? there absolutely is a crossing divide season. take a look link in my view. i have seen a at that. that is for today's morning number of their nasty vicious crimes that have happened recently in birmingham and other parts of the briefing. now it is time for

west midlands, notjust those involving deaths, some of those have good morning. not been reported, and we can see a there's a bitter taste in the mouths of the paris st—germain players this morning, and their striker, neymar, says the var decision high proportion of the perpetrators to give manchester united a late penalty was a disgrace. marcus rashford converted to take his team into the quarterfinals of the champions league, and complete one of the all time great comebacks. they went to paris 2—0 down from the first leg. patrick geary reports. and also the victims of those crimes being children who sadly who have been excluded from school. some of them are run official exclusions, probably because of bad behaviour, but what there isn't is really good quality alternative education available to all those children. the other part of it is of rolling, the match that hinged on an elbow. a where children are massaged out of schools. i've said —— 0fsted say it could be as many as one in ten to minute into stoppage time the improve exam results. is that referee was still studying the causality between exclusions and use replays, was in a penalty? violence? 0fsted say there is no manchester united's champions league proof of that in and of itself, that hopes the depended on the decision. the trial by television ruled in their favour, now exclusion causes knife crime and the trial by television ruled in theirfavour, now rashford, a 21—year—old mancunian could complete violence. these are young people the most incredible come back. how with severe behavioural challenges have we got here? after all paris st a nyway with severe behavioural challenges anyway and our education editor is

reporting that in some areas where germain held a lead going into this. there are very high rates of they presented lu ka ku exclusions, that knife crime is not germain held a lead going into this. they presented lukaku with the chance to grab one back, surely that would be less of a choke than hiccup. the parisians still couldn't ready on the radar. why are you settle, buffon is one of the most confident that there is a link, in experienced goalkeepers in the your opinion? i take that point. i world. he presented this to lukaku. don't think it is causing violent two. still not enough. the referee crime but having large numbers of children, hundreds and maybe thousands in our area, being preyed upon by the drug gangs, they are went to check on this. the debate becoming involved in violence. they are the victims, if you like, of the about video technology rages on but gangs, so we do know that is true. we also know that some of the in rashford's mind there was peace. horrible incidents that have with ole in rashford's mind there was peace. happened here, the perpetrator has with 0le gunnar solskjaer manchester united, it is never been somebody excluded from their school. i don't think exclusion because the crime. what they do is we always believed, that is the they an provide army of young people thing. we set out the plan. it ready to be recruited by the gangs wasn't about having the ball and outplaying them, if you give this who want to perpetrate violence. very briefly, if you would, what is tea m the answer to that in your opinion outplaying them, if you give this team too much space and time, with if children have got to be excluded mbappe, you saw a few times when we from school for various reasons? what do you deal with them and missed our defensive shape, they

countries is diplomatic. it's now getting into public would get, maybe got you to a bit. yes, i think it, you go in, being perceptions, elite perceptions, and there's a huge new negativity highly ranked and one of the faces, on both sides about the others. and yes, it can be high pressure but this case is unquestionably bigger than just one woman, i told myself, why do you train so but the daily reality hard? it is because you want to go for meng wanzhou is that she must spend most of her time confined to this house until this huge and race and enjoy competing and i diplomatic row is over. thought i am going to enjoy it. i that could take years. found i was more relaxed. when i was dave lee, bbc news, in vancouver. relaxed i ran better. so it was all let's talk now to emily taylor, associate fellow with the international security department in the mind whatever walk of life it at chatham house. shejoins us from is conquering the fears? . yes. 0xford this morning. very good to have you with us, talking the olympic, this year is crucial in building tow that, do you emily. tell us more about what is in set ambition or is it a case of this writ issued by huawei's taking one step at a time? yes, i lawyers. what were away are claiming think for me i try and focus on the is that section 889 of the national world championships this year and after doha i will look to tokyo, but defence organisation act is i think for me, i know, i can only unconstitutional, ineffective and it do the best i can, and hopefully harms us consumers. “— thatis do the best i can, and hopefully that is good enough to medal, or to win, that would be fantastic, if my unconstitutional, ineffective and it harms us consumers. —— what huawei are claiming. it is quite an irony best is fifth, that is what happens.

that a case brought by a chinese in sport anything can happen. for company makes extensive quotations the moment your life as a vet keeps your feet on the ground, it is on from the us founding fathers and it really goes to the heart of the us hold because you can't do both.|j constitution, saying that it focus on the running since breaches the separation of powers, qualifying last year, hope to do a and you can't make laws that bit more charity or voluntary work specifically target and harm an and keep my hand in as it were, but individual. so huawei is called out i got my degree as well. by name in this section of the act congratulations on both of those, and it means that no matter what the all your success and enjoy your week off. hope to see you back soon. that reality is, us officials have no choice except not to use huawei is all the sport for for now. products, whereas for their competitors, they can make an evaluation based on rational criteria. and essentially huawei is saying that the us has got to let's go back to our produce evidence, of which it says story on grenfell. police investigating there is none, that it is in some the grenfell tower fire in london say any criminal charges will not be way using its equipment to disrupt brought for at least two years. with us now is sailish mehta who is us communications, to spy on a barrister at red lion chambers. communications etc. that is exactly he advises the lawyers that provide right. and it makes quite bold legal support for the families affected by grenfell. thank you for your time. this is statement onto macro fronts. first obviously very disappointed for of all it says it does not have any those families, who are anxious for justice. yes, i am sure a number of

back doors, deliberate areas, bugs the family members will be and vulnerabilities. it makes a devastated, but this was always strong denial about links to the going to be a very complex investigation, involving multiple fatalities and the investigation will be looking at notjust individuals to prosecute but chinese state. lots of rumours have been circulating for many years corporations and institution and the about what precisely the nature of prosecutors will want to make sure the relationship between huawei and the relationship between huawei and the chinese state is. and now we they get it right, because they will see evidence brought, presumably on both sides, who those won't have a second chance at it, points. and it is this linked to the but from the families's point of wider situation of the us and china trade war? huawei has had a choice view they will be devastated by this news because those families who have lost a bit of faith in the grenfell whether to bring this action at this inquiry, they wanted some answer, time. it had the arrest of its chief they wanted answers quickly, and financial officer, which must have they wanted answers quickly, and they wanted answers quickly, and they want a semblance at least of come as a shock. in a way it has justice as soon as possible. from their point of view, they will feel been on the back foot for the last that justice delayed is their point of view, they will feel thatjustice delayed is justice couple of months, seeing its name denied. we understand the second bandied around and its brand phase of the inquiry may not start damaged. this is a very bold action until later this year or perhaps that it damaged. this is a very bold action thatitis damaged. this is a very bold action that it is taking in the united early next year, a report has to be written, the police have to pass states through its subsidiary against the united states government this to the crown prosecution service, so what would your advice

on these three very specific points, be to the families right now, to and also making quite bold and possibly risky arguments, depending understand their concern, feelings, on what evidence is brought by the but to, i guess emphasise sometimes justice can take time, and that it us in its defence. and finallyjust remind us what is huawei's is absolutely important to get this right? that is the only message that relationship with the uk. the uk had advisers can pass those families, it actually used huawei in provision of its critical communications for more than a decade. 0ne will be bitter new, the fact there its critical communications for more is an investigation ongoing, i am than a decade. one of the interesting aspects of the aware there is a number of senior geopolitical level is an opening up officers, seniorfire officers have of gaps between the rhetoric that we are seeing from the united states been working round—the—clock and one can only hope and assume that they and the united kingdom. very strong are making sure that investigation is being thoroughly carried out and allies, members of the so—called every single stone is being looked five eyes intelligence corporation, at, and before they decide on a which also involves canada, decision to prosecute or not to australia and new zealand, so the uk prosecute as well. has been much more dovish. the uk in 0k. thank you for your recent statements is that it is a risk that can be managed. we shouldn't be naive but we should ta ke shouldn't be naive but we should take an evidence—based approach. there are already existing mechanisms. there is a unit based prophets atjohn lewis have nearly

halves. take us through the detail here in 0xfordshire, which huawei staff cooperate with intelligence victoria. profits down 4596, that was services to get under the equipment, more than expected, and when you and the software, and look for split this business in two you have vulnerabilities and bugs and so on, thejohn split this business in two you have the john lewis split this business in two you have and build confidence. emily taylor thejohn lewis stores then you have on the other side the waitrose side, so on the waitrose number, they have from the international security department at chatham house, thank you very much. improved somewhat, particularly on the online side, online order, but you look atjohn lewis department nearly a third of the uk's electricity is set to be generated store numbers and they are dire. by wind power by 2030, under a new deal announced profits down 56%. they are saying it by the government. the agreement will see is the usual thing, people buying the offshore wind sector invest £250 million over the next 11 years, backed by state subsidies. fewer big ticket items, washing machine, they have price promise of the government says the sector course and they say that retailers will create thousands ofjobs. have been in a period of discounting last year, on and offshore wind turbines provided 17% since october, so they are feeling of the uk's energy needs. the pinch there, they are trying to invest in property, and it. there is public satisfaction with the nhs is at its lowest point in more than a decade, a bonus though, there had been talk there wouldn't be a bonus. the according to a new survey. research found that waiting times, staffing levels and funding famous staff or partners bonus. were the main causes for concern. everything from shelf stackers the department of health through to senior managers get the

says its long term plan is making same percentage, they have been the nhs fit for the future. doing this since 1953. it is the here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. lowest amount, 3% of salary, so, so satisfaction levels with the nhs have varied over the years, lowest amount, 3% of salary, so, so lowest since post—war britain. you but the latest survey of public attitudes in england, scotland, can see this business is taking a and wales shows growing concern over dim view of the future of retail. thank you. the state of the health service. in 2010, the annual survey revealed, overall, record levels of satisfaction. a high of 70%. but last year that figure fell to its lowest point since 2007, just 53%. with waiting times, four experimental drugs are being used to try to contain an outbreak of ebola in the east the number of staff, of the democratic republic of the congo. and a lack of funding being the main the new medicines have not yet been approved by regulators but are being used in an attempt to save lives. in the final part of a series factors behind dissatisfaction. of films from the democratic republic of the congo, the bbc‘s senior africa correspondent, anne soy reports people who have recently used on the improvements in the care the service are much more satisfied, so i think a big issue of ebola patients during this latest outbreak. a source of so much pride for this here is access to care, getting those appointments, doctor and a milestone getting in to see a gp, in the fight against ebola. for example, and i think a lot of us until now, the survival rates of expectant mothers have struggled with getting a gp who are infected with ebola and their babies had appointment and that's really having been almost zero.

an effect on satisfaction. being free at the point of use, the quality of care, so, this is baby manuela, and the range of services just a few days old, were the main reasons people were happy with the nhs, and her mother, josephine. but patients recognise this is arguably a miracle baby. the difficulties the that's becausejosephine caught health service faces. i'm satisfied with the service they provide. ebola whilst she was pregnant. i'm not satisfied that they have got enough funding to have enough people at the time of delivery, to do the job properly. a few years ago, actually, she was taken into isolation i changed my gp because i rang up so that she could have the baby and the first appointment they could offer me there because nobody was in 21 days' time. was sure whether the baby would have contracted ebola, people like to take and a few days later, the baby the nhs for granted, was tested and is ebola—free. and they criticise it relentlessly, it seems, but i think we need hello, baby. to put into perspective a reflection of how the level of care has improved since the last the work behind the scenes. big outbreak in west africa there will be particular concern where dr camara modet first that almost a quarter of respondents treated ebola patients. were unsatisfied with gp services. translation: ebola treatment centres are now becoming modern and we are starting but it seems that direct, to use these cubes. personal experience of the nhs, they are transparent and that allows us to combat the rumours for example as a hospital inpatient, going around the community. gave people a more positive view of the health service. dominic hughes, bbc news. and in terms of the medical care, they help in case of emergencies. ebola is obviously a very serious infectious disease,

and it's essential to isolate the high—street bakery chain greggs has announced a sharp rise in sales. confirmed cases like the woman in there, and these pods its annual figure topped £1 billion are the new way of doing that for the first time in 2018, isolation, making sure that there's no contact between her and people up 7% in 2018 from the year before. who have never been infected. and, as the company's chief executive roger whiteside told the bbc this morning, those results don't even include sales of the popular vegan sausage so now, people can safely visit and talk to the patients. roll, which was launched injanuary: this patient tells me she's we launched the vegan sausage roll just received a good injanuary, we launched the vegan sausage roll in january, as you we launched the vegan sausage roll injanuary, as you say, so it comes after the results for last year. but report from the doctor. it is the fastest selling line we she says that she will soon be have launched on my five or six yea rs of have launched on my five or six years of the business and it is now a top five cell are already in discharged to go home and she's greggs. it has reached all stores very happy about that. this week in fact because it took us that long to catch up with demand. the survivors do some of the simple, it has been a phenomenon. people but riskyjobs here. clearly are turning towards plant —based alternative food instead of meat and that is a trend we have they are helping to make life easier for both patients and the medics. seenin meat and that is a trend we have seen in the market for some while, and the vegan sausage roll is an the health workers also have some protection. example of how people are making they are among more than 80,000 those choices now. roger whiteside people who've been vaccinated. of greggs. i think the vaccination has

made a huge difference. if we didn't have the vaccine, maybe in this time, we would be talking about more the bbc has learnt that longer trains, due to start carrying passengers to and from one than 20,000 cases. of britain's biggest cities, won't start running until two years later than planned. northern rail had hoped to begin the vaccine is still part of an ongoing clinical trial, operating peak services into leeds as are four new drugs being used station by the end of this year, to treat patients for but work to adapt the platforms the first time ever. won't be done in time. here's our transport survival rates for patients who get to the treatment centres are improving. correspondent, tom burridge. if there's any kind of trouble on the trains, it's cutting out while it's not clear if that's time that i'm seeing my kids. a result of the new drugs there was one train recently where, or improved care, there will no instead of getting home doubt be more ways to save lives for about 7.00 i got home during future outbreaks of ebola. for about 9.30. see you later guys, love you. anne soy, bbc news. for commuting dad dom, a lot is at stake. if the trains carry on the way they're going, i could end up not seeing my children for days. every day he travels into leeds, a service he can't rely on. the only thing that seems punctual about them is the price rises every year. it is changeable over the next few and where space is in short supply. days, we will see sunshine, some of this is why northern says it's us will see heavier rain and this going to start running new bigger
