when they came them had a job offer when they came over. they were basically freelancers. they had skills but not in this way so there are a lot of people that this won't include. some will say that's a good thing, some will say that's a good thing, some will say that's a good thing, some will say it's a bad thing, but it does smack policy before application. there'll be no root for self—employed people, spelling the for example, polish prom learners or romanian builders arriving without a job. —— polish plumbers. romanian builders arriving without a job. -- polish plumbers. let's move on further down the page on the guardian. this is one story... it focuses on the story of the floods because you come from worcestershire. no tub thumping! i am from worcestershire. these days that's my home. you start off when you see the awful things that have

happened to so many people, notjust they are but in shropshire, and wales, and north yorkshire, etc. you start off and you see all that, you get angry because little challenge for someone in this building, let's go back over the past decades. let's say 20 twin or even a little bit further. year or after year of ministers. —— 2010. today, the latest environment minister, she was rolled out as your minister today and she said it would have been worse if we had done a, b and c. —— junior minister. is that not a fair point? why doesn't somebody not own up point? why doesn't somebody not own up and say we have not done enough?

so those are not enough, they need to get to z. i think there have been five secretaries of state and as many years so each one has had a crisis. all of them have said the environmental agency isn't fit for purpose and needs a branch change. the agency admits it wants change but none of them have the means to. they've been so busy on their merry—go—round. they've been so busy on their merry-go-round. just going back to the actual story, it suggests local people are complaining about the absence of a meeting and the pm should be doing more. absence of a meeting and the pm should be doing morelj absence of a meeting and the pm should be doing more. i think they saying he is hindering recovery, borisjohnson is very good at getting himself a low profile when he feels that would be helpful and giving himself a very high profile when he feels that will also be helpful. we see many times before, when you do get a photo opportunity

of the minister helping out, they're there for two minutes and leave a trail of destruction behind them. and they make very little difference. the accusation here is...ido difference. the accusation here is... ido not difference. the accusation here is... i do not deny that things have been done over the past decade. my point is, that clearly, if you acce pt point is, that clearly, if you accept as we are told from birth that government's responsibility first is to keep our people safe, go to worcestershire, go to hereford, go to shropshire and asked those people if they have been kept safe. one of the problems is this type of work that should have been done and it takes so very long. we know

short—term politicians are always coming... they want quick fixes and this is something that has suffered asa this is something that has suffered as a result. last year, let me make sure i got this right. the agency warned the uk needs to spend, last year cut this —— this was said, the current plans are £600 million a yearunder current plans are £600 million a year under two thirds of that. the secretary of state said some cannot be protected. where does that leave the people who live in those areas? let's move onto the financial times which talks about different crisis. daisy, tell us about this.|j which talks about different crisis. daisy, tell us about this. i think this is very interesting but the wider story of what it's pointing to is very worrying. land rover has

said that the coronavirus is limiting its supply chain so significantly that it may have to close production. it also says it's been trying to get parts out of china in suitcases. we've flown parts from china to the uk just to make sure we got the right parts, not the boss said. —— the boss said. it could definitely lead to a global slowdown or a global recession. we got germany doing badly, china manufacturing i think a quarter of the world manufacturing but china's consumers are now having a lot of demands. later on, the boss is saying not just he's demands. later on, the boss is saying notjust he's having problems manufacturing giving supply

problems, but also there's nothing happening in the showrooms. it's a big problem. not only of course land rover, other companies affected. toyota and companies named here. monday, volvo, —— hon day. toyota and companies named here. monday, volvo, -- hon day. apple haveissued monday, volvo, -- hon day. apple have issued a profit morning as well. partly because of the manufacturing there so reliant on chinese customs. —— profit morning. three quarters of a billion people are under some sort of lockdown. they're not spending money. it could have a huge impact. as everyone is saying, day by day, they need a turnaround so that people can come out again in china. let's move on. i kind of delicate story, this is part

of yourformer parish, kind of delicate story, this is part of your former parish, the kind of delicate story, this is part of yourformer parish, the lib dems. take us through what is happening here. it's worth saying this is about a leak. i haven't seen this leak. the telegraph us saying it's facing expulsion again. he's been expeued facing expulsion again. he's been expelled before and he's been reinstated before and this is for the same reason. they say they seen elites report into child sex abuse. that was the inquiry set up by theresa may after so many of these stories who are then discredited came out in this inquiry. one thing people are saying, they spend that much money so there's got to be a scalp. the essential allegation is, which came out when david steele gave evidence to the inquiry was

that he knew of some of the allegations that smith was facing backin allegations that smith was facing back in the late 70s about child molestation or abuse and that he assumed some of those stories were true. he says his words were taken out of context when he first gave that evidence, the liberal democrats did an earlier investigation and kicked him out of the party. then they reinstated him. somebody is saying that's double jeopardy. it's the same accusation, it's the same investigation, and also we don't know. there is a bit of a gap between the content of the leak story and in the headline. that's right but it might appear to some people that this is some of the lord ‘s deal‘s supporters getting the

retaliation. we are told in the story, the colleagues including lord campbell, are considering quitting if he is expelled again. certainly a big story for the lib dems, and it's difficult is in it? we've heard so much about this, something that happened over a0 years ago. steel is in his 805. at one point do you draw a line or do you never draw a line about something so serious? he's obviously not being accused of being a perpetrator but he is being accused of not doing something about something that maybe he knew more about then he let on. we shall see. also on the front page of the telegraph, david took us through this. what would tyson fear he called don't call it? the early

stages of the fight with the eu coming up. people are getting the retaliation, shadow—boxing coming up. people are getting the retaliation, shadow— boxing is coming up. people are getting the retaliation, shadow—boxing is going on. the io has added an elgin marbles cause to its demand. raising fears it could bolster calls for repatriation to athens. quite how do you wonder how this is being brought into play here, but i'm sure we will have more stories about that. that's what keeps coming up. you know what we should give them back?|j what keeps coming up. you know what we should give them back? i can't claim their people who know better on this. at sort of like, why don't we just give them back? i on this. at sort of like, why don't wejust give them back? i do understand that sort of opens a title wave of other issues. laughter

we only have a few more seconds. stormsy one big, all my knowledge of these guys is through my teenage girl. perhaps it keeps you relevant. yes. rapper dave, album of the year! i5 yes. rapper dave, album of the year! is at your favourite album?|j yes. rapper dave, album of the year! is at your favourite album? i have no knowledge of it. he made quite a political speech. he called boris johnson races. you need a teenager. it helps. it's not so popular in other house. thanks for this one. see you in half an hour. that's the

papers. you can catch up with it online on the iplayer should you wa nt online on the iplayer should you want to. stay with us. that evening to you. it looks like we had more pain in the forecast and functionally that's going to cause some issues there this week to areas that you themes and sledding. we still have a number of severe flooding warnings out there. record river heights. the letters are starting to subside now but with a more rain piling during wednesday andindeed more rain piling during wednesday and indeed into thursday across the northern and western areas where light is seen as member levels money again. and it renewed the risk of flooding. most concern far north and northwestern parts in a grade. i did northern and western parts of man's as well. the forecast heading online to check out all the ladies flood

warnings. but when they start out chilly, dry, some sunshine back to class a buildings in the west. spice like a cloud crabby for most. the rating become more persistent as we head into the afternoon. further south and east, some dispatching pain at times but nothing that we do further west. wednesday night the rain continues to pile into northwestern. the total is really starting to mount at 60 to 100 mm. quite a mild night as well but all of that rain. then i say here's is that when a friend across more western areas colder air lives in that it will be quite mild. the only consolation is the good news i suppose on thursday, the rain across the western areas size and very wet will sweep through fairly quickly to the day. we will see a past imprisonment into the afternoon with sunshine following that rain. with a few showers that wintry high ground.

it's really good day for the south as well. the second thursday is looking better across western wales in northwest england. if you look at the present try to get friday, but then nicer bars in the charts and then nicer bars in the charts and the next weather system arise. windy widespread gales particularly across the north. northern half of the country north and most of the rain it to friday. that could be causing further south, of staying a try. we need a guest at a0 to 50 mph. which i get into double figures for most of staying a try. we need a guest at a0 to 50 mph. damages i get into double figures it must have been going to be damages i get into double figures it must have been going to be mild and those three. the weekend will save mart wet and.
