during training in california. a about injustices. and i health me an idea of when that may about injustices. and as health secretary, i feel a deep he give me an idea of when that may report back so we can make proper responsibility, because this pandemic has exposed huge decisions going forward? this is disparities in the health of our urgent work to disentangle the nation. it is very clear that some factors that caused the disparities people are significantly more that are evident in the data, in the vulnerable to covid—19 and this is report published today. and the something i am determined to minister for equality also be understand info and take action to address. today i can announce that leading that work, working with public health england and others to public health england have completed get to the bottom of that as quickly work into disparities in the risks as possible. thank you mr speaker and outcomes of covid—19 and we have is. my constituency of luton south published their findings. phe and outcomes of covid—19 and we have is. my constituency of luton south is super diverse with a large bame published theirfindings. phe have found the following, first, as we are all aware, age is the biggest population. given those risk, what doi risk factor and among those population. given those risk, what do i say to my constituents who tell me they don't believe you that it is diagnosed with covid—19, people who are 80 or older are among 70 times safe to relax shielding, given the more likely to die than those under government's confused messages and 40. more likely to die than those under a0. being male is also a significant apparent endorsement of breaches of public health endorsement given the risk factor. working age men are twice as likely to die as working lack of action taken over dominic cummings. age women. occupation is a risk that is not an appropriate way to factor, with professions that
1:31 pm
involve dealing with the public in characterise the approach we are an enclosed space such as taxi taking. because when it comes to people who are shielding, we have driving at higher risk. importantly, recommended people shield for their the data shows that people working in hospitals are not more likely to own protection, and when the catch or die from covid—19. clinical advice says that it is safe for people to go outside, because diagnosis rates are higher in the incidence of disease is now lower than when we brought in the deprived or a densely populated urban areas and we know that our shielding policy, then i think, great cities have been hardest hit well, i know, that many of the shielded are so pleased to be able by this work underlines that being just to go outside. it has had a black orfrom a by this work underlines that being black or from a minority ethnic huge impact on them and they have background is a major risk factor. given upa huge impact on them and they have given up a great sacrifice. thank this racial disparity holes even you, mr speaker. can i thank my after accounting for the effect of honourable friend for ensuring that age, deprivation, religion and sex. clevela nd honourable friend for ensuring that cleveland is at the forefront of the new test, track and trace programme. what assessment has he made of how track and trace will allow us to reduce social distancing from two metres to one metre, as per the who the foreign secretary, dominic raab, has described china's behaviour towards hong kong as ‘egregious' and said the uk must bring together an international guidance? well, the success of test, coalition to moderate it. china recently endorsed a security track and trace is a critical part law for hong kong which has strained relations with the uk and the us.
1:32 pm
of making sure that we have more mr raab told mps in the commons targeted approach is to lock down so that the proposed national security that we can reduce the broader law would be a "clear violation" of china's international obligations lockdown safely. and that is what and said the uk had raised the issue the building of the system is about, at the un security council. he said the uk would look to provide have a more targeted interventions a "pathway to citizenship" so have a more targeted interventions for british national (overseas) so that we can reduce when it is passport holders in hong kong (tx sot) safe to do so the broader bno(o) passport holders are already interventions that everybody has entitled to uk consular assistance been having to live under. i've been in third countries and the british government also provides people with sitting here desperately trying to give the benefit of the doubt to the temporary passports these are entry into the uk for up to six months as government. because we are in a national crisis. but i have to visitors. mr speaker, if china reflect the theory that my follows through with its proposed constituents have reflected to me on legislation, we will put in place new arrangements to allow bno(o) facebook, and in e—mails, about the dominant coming situation. i know holders to come without the six the minister will want to shrug it month limit enabling them to live and apply to study and work for off and will want to move on, but i extendable periods of 12 months have to say to him it has been thereby also providing a pathway to absolute fury. people think that there is one rule for the government citizenship. three former british prime ministers — john major — tony blair — and theirfriends and gordon brown — there is one rule for the government and their friends and another rule for everybody else, and they have are among leading world figures who havejoined a call for an urgent made massive, massive sacrifices and g20 summit to help fight they feel the government is not the pandemic, especially in poorer countries. the g20 is not due to meet
1:33 pm
standing by them. please, please, until november, but the leaders say please reflect that back to the quicker action is needed to prevent an even deeper worldwide government. i think the most recession and health crisis. speaking to the bbc, gordon brown said it was vital that important thing, as we go forward global action was taken. and try to tackle this together, is i think this could go down as one of that the social distancing guidelines that we have set out our the greatest global social and economic policy failures in our generation, because there is a con critical for the safety of the enemy, the virus, a challenge we are nation. we are able, safely, to make all facing economic recession, there small changes, which will improve isa all facing economic recession, there is a ready—made vehicle for acting which is the g20 which was created health because of the negative impact on people's health from being in 2009 and it seems surprising, astonishing, quite reprehensible that it astonishing, quite reprehensible thatitis astonishing, quite reprehensible that it is not going to meet until six months from now to discuss shutin issues that have got to be dealt impact on people's health from being with now. people at home will be shut in doors. therefore it is wondering how does it affect their crucial that people follow the lives, if we do not prevent a second social distancing guidelines. that will, in turn, help us lift these wave coming out of africa and the measures more broadly. thank you, mr developing countries, if we cannot unite to get a vaccine which is speaker. as my right honourable available in every country to friend is aware, my constituency of eradicate the disease and if we kensington has some of the most can't get world trade on the world economy going again, then all of us, extreme health inequalities in the
1:34 pm
country. the difference in average individually and our communities and life expectancy for men is more than ourfamilies suffer, individually and our communities and our families suffer, so individually and our communities and ourfamilies suffer, so it is in the i6 self—interest of every country that life expectancy for men is more than 16 years, between the richest and we bring work together to do with the poorest ward. will my right these problems. looking back to how you manage it back then and what is honourable friend assure me that happening now, how difficult was it practical, concrete steps will be to marshal a global response and why do you think it isn't happening now? taken to alleviate these inequalities? yes, absolutely. and i the remarkable thing in 2008 was think my honourable friend when we initially propose that we eloquently puts it that there is levelling up to do notjust between get the 23 biggest countries together to look at this, america different parts of the country in was sceptical and some of the other different parts of the country in different regions of the country, but even within individual countries were reluctant, some people wanted a wider discussion and constituencies. and here is, of course, is one of the greatest some people wanted a narrower exa m ples of discussion but eventually we did course, is one of the greatest examples of this, as are some of the come together and we found common purpose and i think the other 19 other inner—city constituencies and countries should be persuading america now, which seems to be burrows. but the levelling up of health inequalities across the hesitant about holding this event country, i think, health inequalities across the country, ithink, is health inequalities across the country, i think, is going to be an and getting things moving, if we do even more important part of the not move in the next few weeks, i do agenda after coronavirus than it was before. thank you very much. the fear that the inadequate health systems and the very poor at safety nets and social protection in africa will mean that the disease will number of cases and deaths has
1:35 pm
fallen, but a number of health spread again out of africa and the officials say that they are not developing countries into the west convinced that all five of the and if we don't get together, then the world recovery, which really we government's tests have been met should be planning at the moment, we sufficiently to ease lockdown restrictions. as of this morning, we have been doing a rescue operation in each country for the last few hear that test and trace is up and running but there are no figures months, trying to save jobs and companies, we need to build a global available. with the secretary of recovery and that cannot be done, as state a cce pt available. with the secretary of state accept that, given the easing i found recovery and that cannot be done, as ifound in recovery and that cannot be done, as i found in 2009 without every of restrictions is risky, and you country being involved and working could argue that having is here together. there is an urgency about discussing it is risky, that there this and i believe that boris has to be in, according to my johnson and others should be pressing the leaders of the g20, mailbox, and undermining of public confidence in the government's saudi arabia and america, that these events should take place very soon, approach by the dominic cummings scandal. what additional metrics online of course and it could be will be government be using to done immediately. as you said, it monitor and contain requires all of the different leaders to agree it is the right thing to do and there are different leaders now in place, from when you we will pull out of that statement and we will be analysing that on we re leaders now in place, from when you were dealing with this, do you think returning to westminster later, but that that leadership is going to be now it is time for the sport. there? i think it is difficult, with president trump wanting to call a smaller summit of his favoured
1:36 pm
friends, so he will call to washington in september, a few leaders, but he would exclude africa, the middle east, latin america, exclude most of asia and thatis america, exclude most of asia and that is no substitute for getting eve ryo ne that is no substitute for getting everyone together and working together. we have got to give debt relief to some of the poorest countries and that has to happen the first eight races will be held soon because they are spending more in europe, with the double—header on on paying for the debts than on the second on the ninth, one health protection in their proposal though is to replace countries. we have got to create qualifying with reverse grades. 30 this new international money, minute race with the starting order perhaps $1 trillion, that is made based on reverse championship available to countries, 100 of whom innings. it had been started about are appealing for emergency help at with bottom driver on pole. however the moment. global poverty is going to rise by something in the order of the british driver for williams george russell says he is against a00 million, 250 million or so are the idea. we are going to be thrown going to sufferfrom a00 million, 250 million or so are going to suffer from malnutrition, many at the moment are already in to the idea. we are going to be thrown intoa the idea. we are going to be thrown in to a position that we are not in suffering. 1.5 billion people are a car capable fighting in that not in school around the world, so we can make a difference if we could position. drivers will make us look act in the short term and part of stupid. it is like throwing a dog thatis act in the short term and part of that is providing some international help to those countries who, if they into a bull fight, we have got no chance and it is at the front of cannot fend for themselves, maybe this grid, having faster cars in the carriers of the disease back

during training in california. a 00:10:02,876 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 dramatic video hide, your skin colour should define who you are. a total of 2,375 patients have died in scotland after testing positive for coronavirus, up by 12 from 2,363 on monday. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon announced the figures at her daily briefing. she also announced plans to support care workers with a supplimentary payment for those looking after cornonavirus patients. one of the ways in which the scottish government has already acted to support carers is by establishing a ca rer‘s acted to support carers is by establishing a carer‘s allowance supplement. that is worth £a60 a year. the supplement is paid to around 83,000 people across the country who receive carer‘s allowa nce. country who receive carer‘s allowance. people who are on low incomes and who provide 35 hours or more of unpaid care to a child or to an adult on disability benefits. last month we announced that these ca re rs last month we announced that these carers would receive a further coronavirus supplement of £230.
1:41 pm
parliament approved our plans two weeks ago and people who are eligible will receive this payment at the end of this month, together with their normal carer‘s allowance supplement. the specific date of payment will be confirmed in the next few days, but let me stress now, if you are eligible, you don't need to do anything to receive the supplement, it will be paid to you automatically at the end of the month. i know that this pandemic has been really hard for everyone, but it has been very hard for carers emotionally, you are inevitably concerned about your own health and health of the people that you are caring for but in many cases it has also been very difficult financially. this extra payment is one way of providing you with some additional help, but is also an important way of us acknowledging the help and care that you to others. i also want to acknowledge that this week is volunteers week. that is an opportunity for all of us
1:42 pm
to highlight and celebrate the service of volunteers in community is the length and breadth of the country. of course, like unpaid carers, the efforts of volunteers are important at all times. but the covid outbreak has demonstrated once again just covid outbreak has demonstrated once againjust how covid outbreak has demonstrated once again just how important they contribute. the scotland carers campaign, which you will recall we launched at the end of march received more than 80,000 sign—ups in total and more than 60,000 of those were from people who wanted to volunteer through the british red cross or through volunteer scotland. some have been shopping for their neighbours making sure that people get the food and perceptions and other essentials that they need and others have been making befriending calls or providing emotional support to isolated or lonely people. some are directly helping with the response to covid—19 and others are volunteering to long—standing community organisations. there are also, of course, some people who signed up who may not have been asked to volunteer yet, but you may
1:43 pm
well be needed in the future. for example, in supporting people who have been asked to self—isolate under the test and protect system. first minister nicola sturgeon. jacob rees—mogg is due to kick off proceedings later. let's go to our political correspondent nick eardley (os) to return things pretty much to what they were like before the coronavirus pandemic, so previously mps had to queue up to vote, they do that in tightly packed lobbies where they will go up to somebody and basically say how they wanted to go and have their name ticked off on the list. the government wants to get back to something approaching that. they can go into the lobbies, because public health england say they are not safer for the moment a plan has been devised where mps are
1:44 pm
going to have to queue up, just down from where i am just now, two apart, potentially up to more than a kilometre long, for potentially more than one hour, to vote on whatever they have been asked to vote on and they have been asked to vote on and they could see that happen in the next couple of hours, on the actual plan to return to physical voting. as you say, for the last few weeks, they will have been able to vote online, that has only happened a few times, there have been a few technical glitches but by and large most mps seem pretty happy with the way the systems work, the concern is, from the government, that once you get into more detailed scrutiny, of really important brexit legislation, for example, it will be harder to do that remotely, but there is an almighty row over this, because there are those mps who live hundreds of miles away from westminster, for example, from the a0 snp mps, only eight are here today to take part in a discussion on the future and perhaps more
1:45 pm
importantly, there are those mps who are in the shielding category who have been told they are not allowed to leave the house and they are absolutely furious that under the plan that the government is bringing forward , plan that the government is bringing forward, they will not be able to vote or potentially even take part in debates. on that latter point of taking part in debates, there might be some wriggle room over the next few hours, there have been talks going on today between the government and some mps who are unhappy and number 10 suggested that there might still be some room for compromise. there is definitely a lot of anger here that there was hybrid model which allowed mps to be at home or here and to take part is on the way out. we will come back to later, thank you very much. we will be taken of the commons for the start of that debate with jacob rees—mogg in what promises to be quite a lively session a little bit later on. full coverage here. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomas. we had a dose of summer and i'm quite sure it will be back but in the short term,
1:46 pm
a wind of change is upon us and in fact this change is already taking place across scotland, rain clouds have been moving in and the temperature is dropping and the outlook is looking distinctly chilly right across the country over the next few days. we had a dose of summer and i'm quite sure it will be back the weather fronts are coming in from the north, really spreading across the uk and behind it, a current of much cooler air all the way from the arctic will set in and the winds will strengthen as well, it will really become quite windy across northern areas. as far as tuesday afternoon is concerned, still very warm in many areas, certainly england and wales and northern ireland and even the lowlands of scotland but later this evening and into tonight, that persistent rain in the east of scotland spreads further south, rain on the way for newcastle, carlisle, the lake district, into the pennines and possibly more patchy rain there into the midlands and wales as well. it looks as though the south—east and east anglia just about stays dry through the course of the night. the rain through tomorrow,
1:47 pm
as it moves further south tends to become a little bit more patchy and you can see some blobs of blue rather than one large coherent band of rain and as far as the gardeners and growers are concerned, i would not get too excited. we are not going to get enough rainfall, it has been so dry and we need more and the rain is going to be hit and miss but there is the chance of one or two downpours, even thundery in the south later in the afternoon. much cooler, temperatures of 12 in newcastle, mostly in the teens across the country right across the board and if anything, those temperatures will drop even further as we head into thursday and you can see the wind blowing straight out of the north, out of the norwegian sea, viking winds keeping things cool around the north sea coast. temperatures of only 12 degrees in newcastle, adding 30 or a0 mph wind, and patchy rain in places on thursday. low pressure quite close to the uk on friday and that low pressure will probably hang around
1:48 pm
through the weekend, so again the weather is going to be changeable, unsettled and have temperatures in london down to 1a degrees at one point. that's it for me. goodbye.
