political woes. is this your view? i think it is fine to meet the day may deadline because we have been told that they forged it a little bit but we have been told by midway neighbour system should be set up and then it said it is only the app thatis and then it said it is only the app that is going to be later but i think they were planning to put this out already but of course it is indisputable that —— fudged it a bit. they are key to get standing straight off the front pages and you can see every paper has some mention, obviously the telegraph focused on track and take trace but dominic cummings is in paragraph four. if you think we have got problems look at what europe is facing. brussels asked to borrow 750 this is bbc news with billion euros to bang folk the latest headlines coronavirus recovery and that is for viewers in the uk and around the world. what a pastel 27 and basically a grim milestone german is up against austria, in the united states with ioo—thousand deaths now reported because of holland, and finland, over the the coronavirus pandemic.

whether they should be grants or britain's prime minister, borisjohnson, comes under intense loa ns. pressure from mps over his refusal whether they should be grants or loans. i think it is almost at times to sack his top adviser, but he hits back during 90 minutes of questioning. of big economic crisis, obviously this is a big public health crisis i understand why people but also a huge economic crisis, feel such indignation about the whole business, that the eu and its institutions the pain of the whole business really that the eu and its institutions rea lly co m e that the eu and its institutions really come under strain so we that of the lockdown, but i really also would eurozone crisis and the thing thatis would eurozone crisis and the thing that is what we're are seeing again think that what they want now is for tonight. like every economy in the us to focus on them and their needs. world, the eu economies are facing as protests continue in hong kong, the us secretary of state says big questions about levels of the territory no longer merits spending this are required to provide economic protection to its special status under us law, citizens, but obviously, other people are asking questions about how long that can go on for, and with the eu there is a complicating factor. you have got a single currency, you have got a monetary union, and that sort of implies a degree of fiscal transfer, money and gra nts degree of fiscal transfer, money and grants going from which are wealthier countries like germany to economies that aren't doing so well like spain and italy and greece, so
10:47 pm
this is really the age—old issue in a time of economic crisis for the eu, how does the eu as a block respond and if they are at the neck was a kind of level of solidarity between eu nations to support these big fiscal transfers. denmark, holland and sweden want the loans as well. just passing by that one because we have got the bavarian minister saying that this needs to be thought through in a much more detailed way. he is the cdu partner of angela merkel. let us move on, if we may, to the new york times. quite an interesting side bar story here, anna, virus tamed, china needs to create morejobs, anna, virus tamed, china needs to create more jobs, and just anna, virus tamed, china needs to create morejobs, and just the universe of this one, i think the papers pointing out that more than 8 million chinese are graduating this year but like so many of their contemporaries around the year they
10:48 pm
are facing a very tough job market. yes, absolutely, and that is an absolutely global story, so we are already seeing that as countries start to a verge as part of the health crisis the village starts to get the economic crisis and unemployment is a problem that is going to be seen in every country and of course we're already seeing economists saying that young people are going to the worst hit. i thought going back on the eu that the most interesting line and are looking ahead of the fact that they have specialised specified how they're going to raise the money. they talk about green taxes and additional tax, talking about how they going to start to raise that money and of course i've pretty much everywhere you are looking at higher taxes of some form. yes, 0k, to go back to the new york times you have
10:49 pm
got the national people's and was taking place over the last few days and of course the survival of the chinese communist party relies on offering new generation some future offering new generation some future of hope, doesn't it, and this could be really quite a serious problem over the next few years? well, i think china faces the same problem thatis think china faces the same problem that is every country in the world and that is that this pandemic in many ways poses the least risk to the immediate health of children and young people of the generation because we know children get fairer seriously ill from covid—i9 from adults but if you look at the long—term prospects of children and young people, so the impacts of school closures, university closures, young people entering the labour market, trying to look for a job at a time when may weigh more people are losing jobs and getting them, there is a real risk that this global pandemic risks scarring a generation of young people and children so i think countries around the world and that includes china
10:50 pm
but obviously he was in the uk as well need to be thinking much more creatively about how we alleviate the impacts of this pandemic for children and young people so that particularly disadvantaged children and young people who aren't getting the same opportunities to do learning at home and so disadvantaged by the pandemic and i think that would involve things like guaranteed job schemes, for example, which were introduced by the labour government in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and worked really well. apprenticeship scheme theorem as well, something to offer, some sort of vote in the labour market even if thejobs are there of vote in the labour market even if the jobs are there to stop with. i think ithinkl i think i will apprenticeship scheme
10:51 pm
development has slightly sold in what we are hoping and absolutely this is one of the things that they should consider. just go back to that liaison committee the daily mail today same test interface revolution. when you look at the faces of the government's response to this pandemic, what we are entering now is even more complicated, potentially, then the message that they were trying to get across, sonia, in the first phase, because it seems that if you have beenin because it seems that if you have been in contact, you go to your primary residence and you lockdown for 14 days, and you don't do anything, you don't leave, no ifs no buts. yes, that is right and there isa buts. yes, that is right and there is a flow chart that was put up by the government's press conference. it is not simple stuff i didn't think it was simple and lots of viewers didn't think it was simple as well. there are lots of different stages but the government has been incredibly clear but the government has been incredibly clear that if you are asked to isolate for 14 days
10:52 pm
by someone calling up by about half of the government's tracing scheme it is your civic duty to stay home andi it is your civic duty to stay home and i going to be regulations about that, it is going to be voluntary at first, although there may be sanctions but that may change, but what a lot of newspapers are focusing on at the moment is this inconsistency. so when the prime minister's adviser dominic cummings, where he his wife had suspected covid and he that get it in self they got in a car and drove the 260 miles so what a lot of the mps of the liaison committee today were saying some people are going to look at this prime minister government health advice and say a top adviser didn't stick by government health guidance and why do i need to do that was that is a real concern that we have matt hancock and boris johnson saying it is your civic duty to stay home for 14 days, i hope that everyone will do that, i am certainly planning on doing that, obviously, if i get a call from a government face, but i think the real risk is that you have got the
10:53 pm
government saying it is your civic duty on the one hand but on the other hand ever absolutely no consequences for a government top adviser flouting the guidelines and getting in a car and driving to...|j think the difference is also the difference between guidelines on what is the law which might be sophistry as far as many people might be concerned but that is the fa ct, might be concerned but that is the fact, isn't it. it is, but the thing about the lockdown as it worked when the messaging was extremely simple andi the messaging was extremely simple and i think part of the problem with dominic cummings, the whole thing is you had these plaid cabinet ministers come out and mps essentially to justify what he did by saying, oh, there was a close and the rules that said if you had exceptional circumstances the childcare this was allowed. now, what was raised very well today in the liaison committee was, what about other parents, does that mean they can now rely on these rules, where are these rules? of course the messaging is so difficult to guess
10:54 pm
the and internationally let's just go to the philippine star because this front page, involve your children in school by august the 24th, it is only yes i think that their front 24th, it is only yes i think that theirfront page was 24th, it is only yes i think that their front page was the president saying no children were to attend school until they have been vaccinated so every country around the world is having this problem about how to proceed, how to get their messaging straight. that is right. schools can't remain closed until we have got a vaccine because we until we have got a vaccine because we know that while schools are close the attainment gap between children with disadvantaged or advantage at onceis with disadvantaged or advantage at once is getting bigger and bigger, children are falling behind, it makes it difficult for parents to go back to work, so waiting another year or more until there is a vaccine is off the table, so what governments have to do is they have to manage the risk. they have to look at the risk to children are not going to school, and they're very significant risks, children who will be being abused at home with no escape, no safeguarding our little safeguarding from schools and local authorities, children from disadvantaged backgrounds behind,
10:55 pm
and you have to weigh that up against the risks to children and teachers of covid and that is a really difficult thing to do, but a good contact tracing system is absolutely key, i think, to the school safety. absolutely key, i think, to the school safely. just a final comment from you, and a? completely agree with that. contact tracing is obviously meant to launch tomorrow but we have already been told that week should expect kinks and i think when the government is saying that in advance then we know what to expect there. 0k. let's leave it there for now. it if you are in the uk, these two will be back in just over half an hour's time to look at more of the stories being covered by the newspapers and websites focusing very much on what is coming out in the uk. but for the time being it is by bike.
10:56 pm
hello again. wednesday brought us more sunshine across the country. the highest temperature was again around the greater london area, this time in heathrow, 26 celsius, and a bit further north in suffolk, that's how we ended the day. now, over recent days, the warmth that has mainly been concentrated across south—east england has been spreading into wales, south—west england, and for thursday the heat is more widespread across the uk, so most areas will have warmer weather. one exception, really, east anglia and south—east england, where it's going to be getting a little bit fresher and temperatures coming down just a few degrees but still warm. we'll take a look at why. 0n the satellite picture, we've got this area of cloud working into northern scotland, bringing a bit of rain, and a very weak cold front diving southwards across the north sea. that is introducing fresher air to east anglia and south—east england and ultimately will knock the temperatures down by a few degrees.
10:57 pm
this is how the weather looks at the moment, though, it's cloudy for northern scotland, still got some rain around at the moment, but that's will tend to ease over the coming hours. elsewhere, it's a largely dry picture, a little bit low cloud and an odd mist and fog patch towards coastal areas of lincolnshire but otherwise clear spells for most and a fresher feel to the weather across some of these eastern areas of scotland and england is that cooler airworks in. now, for thursday most of us will have sunshine from dawn till dusk, any low cloud or mist clearing away very quickly, and the rain also clearing from northern scotland. it should be biting up in the northern isles later in the day. ——it should brighten up in the northern isles later in the day. a warmer day for most, then, 23 degrees or so in edinburgh, probably about 23—24 for western counties of northern ireland but cooler in london. instead of about 26 or 27 that it has been over recent days, it will be about 22, still warm in the sunshine, and we have got more of the same to come on friday.
10:58 pm
the highest temperatures across northern and western parts of the uk, 25 orso northern and western parts of the uk, 25 or so in the glasgow area. still keeping these weather fronts a bay that means we have got more of the same. that said, it will turn quite breezy for some of those but nevertheless we do have more that once and trying to come. temperatures in glasgow peaking at around 2a celsius and is going to 23 to maybe 2a to either weekend and further south quite likely we will see temperatures into the mid 20s, some of the woman's weather in cardiff, 27 on saturday. manager 00:13:35,071 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 weather. —— warmest weather.
