‘ there will be difficult to feel if there isa will be difficult to feel if there is a second wave given a no—deal brexit if that transpires. yes. it is bringing a few things together the story. ultimately the there is a sense that we are past the peak, the big concern to government and elsewhere is that are we heading into a second peak. we heard neil ferguson, formerly the government scientific adviser, yesterday saying september could be the time when we start to see it. if it does come to pass. a lot of people hope it does not number that is the hope in the government, but given that we have run through so many of the medical supplies we need. it is time to start building those again. that no—deal brexit is a factor in this in the supply chain breaking down. things in that sense. and also i thinkjust the added factor here is in the article mentions things like ppe. the uk government is on the back photo. were in a situation where every country is in a waiting
10:46 pm
breath for the coronavirus. there is a global demand for this thing. it is harder to build up supplies and we are relying on supply chains from other countries it would be otherwise, we know already the prime minister wants to be more self—sufficient coming out of this and self—sufficient in terms of ppe in medicine, the reason clearly takes time. it is not something you can do overnight. there is no problem. it will be tough because here when it comes to some generic drug supplies in china, though supply lines are not running smoothly either at the moment. no. actually i think as the ft says about three quarters of the registered medicines were broadly in more than half of the consumable that uk uses come from or via the eu. the supply chain is important and more talks going on this week between the european union and london and the uk over potential trade deal but the clock is ticking
10:47 pm
and very quickly were going to be pointed in a few weeks' time when the deadline for extending the transition period which comes to an end at the end of this year, that decision can be made and number ten and the prime minister have been quite clear that they have no plans to extend transition, they are determined to get a deal done. i suspect actually ultimately there probably is a bit more possibility when it comes to getting a deal that is possibly being suggested at the moment, again the government explained to the best audience and wa nts to explained to the best audience and wants to make sure transition period finishes at the end of the year. but also knows and understands the story about the medical supplies is a perfect example of this. on that point, scientist have plans. presumably lorry driver scaring the drugs and from europe will be exempt from this quarantine. that's carrying the drugs. this seems to have united everybody against the government apart from certain age groups who have done at various
10:48 pm
research by the government who say the country is still behind this quarantine. yes. we saw today in the comments chamber you had the prime ministerand comments chamber you had the prime minister and the pm cues, brought up notjust by minister and the pm cues, brought up not just by mps opposition mps, ple nty of not just by mps opposition mps, plenty of tory mps. that's prime minister questions. they the quarantine policy and the idea of two we e ks quarantine policy and the idea of two weeks as of monday if you are arriving the uk you have to go stop isolation for two weeks. —— they hate the quarantine policy. things like medical supplies would have to do this but generally i think it has caused a real backlash for two reasons. firstly i think one of the complaints is if a quarantine is really so effective in stemming the coronavirus infections, why haven't we done it sooner and why are we don't getjust as we done it sooner and why are we don't get just as other countries are opening up equipment and the second point touches on that which is we are and i would closing up orders and making things more difficult, aviation industry come at a time when other countries are
10:49 pm
making it easier. also an economic argument and a concern that we are today including from theresa may, the former prime minister about what this means for potentialjob losses in the aviation industry. in the going to stick? do you think they have allowed themselves enough room to change or perhaps if the circumstances change? it is up for review as it is. at the end of the month. that is the point when mps would get a vote on it. i think as things currently stand, the government might struggle to win a vote on this policy. i think we for a few weeks. we know the government is looking at averages, which is a way that they can't do travels the 30 countries. —— looking at air bridges. it will cause more of an argument and scientists are doubting the evidence. —— where they can travel to other countries. crucially at the moment and think there is a sense that public opinion backs this and if you look at the polling, over 60% of those surveyed say they do
10:50 pm
support this policy. they think you should have been done sooner further but they still supported. so this is just a westminster issue?|j but they still supported. so this is just a westminster issue? i think number ten prides itself on having a finger at the pulse of what the public want and whether that is actually true or not, maybe it has been up for debate the last few weeks but certainly they seem convinced and katie muhjust mentioned there seems to bear out that the public to back the idea. however everything we pick up from readers is that people feel that it should've been done sooner. it was then at the very start but abandoned. the government did not have the capacity to test and trace and track. they stayed at that point there was very few people coming in and the scale of the outbreak in the uk was such that actually it didn't make much difference. sorry again. we haven't had a lot of time left. mentioning also some of the figure suggesting 2 million people it might be exempt from this. yes. i lot of figures. if you look at the
10:51 pm
exemption so far, certainjob roles that are. i think actually, the home secretary sf some wiggle room comes think it will be under constant review, the groups that can be added to the. —— has left some. it can happen ina to the. —— has left some. it can happen in a few weeks' time, they have at to add some electability. but i think the government do want to stand quite tough on this. even if there are changes behind the scene i'll be surprised if there was a wholesale change. please move on to the other big story. —— let us move on. a breakthrough, the biggest breakthrough yet and the search for madalyn mccann who went missing in 2007. both the uk and german police forces working together, detectives from both country also having interview the suspect who has not been named. he has. they are claiming that they found the prime
10:52 pm
suspect in the matta line mccann case, which really sort of hunted this country for years. that's madalyn mccann. it is not so traumatic for her parents. i think most people would just hope that pa rents most people would just hope that pa re nts ca n most people would just hope that parents can find out one way or another what happened to her. getting their closure one way or another must be absolutely key point to moving on. the germans have our think documentary into this which revealed that a 43—year—old german man who was there at the time and has previously had a history of sexual offences against children. it is not clear what he is in prison for right now. however he was there at the time and he made a suspicious phone call before madeliene to disappear and indicate the registration in another vehicle which he owned at the time. it sounds as though the police and the uk and scotland yard is in the german police are taking this very seriously and think that actually they might be able to provide some
10:53 pm
a nswe i’s. they might be able to provide some answers. and they put out this public appeal for information, and move by publishing phone numbers and details they might have otherwise publish in order to try and memories and push what is a breakthrough into finding what happened to the little girlall finding what happened to the little girl all those years ago. a story which has dominated the news ever since her disappearance. how would this be affected in terms of cooperation if there were a no deal? i think there is still so many things have to be decided. you can see things have to be decided. you can see today theresa may brought up in the chamber the issue of sharing of information with european counterparts. and we are told this is still a matter of negotiation. at the moment, all the sides are talking but if you look at the story, it is a big breakthrough. but the person who is the prime suspect in this case is in a germanjail. they are currently in prison. but it seems that the biggest issue right
10:54 pm
now is the fact that they are not cooperating. we don't even have a situation where the forces are sure this is the right person. and i think part of this appeal is to find out the phone call the suspect in question made. i think an hour before before she disappeared. if they can find out, and release the phone number, they might start to put the jigsaw together. before we get to that point, there is some way to go in this case. in creating get there moment come they know the person is, theyjust don't have that cooperation to proceed. interesting to see with the german press have on that over the next hour or so. i wa nt to that over the next hour or so. i want to touch just very briefly on the new york times. just in the time of the print to become a rival test at the american military, just a quick thought on this, rush and fly pass, china becoming more bellicose and actually filling that gap left
10:55 pm
in the who and trump said he will withdraw the funding. inevitable fit rivals lose the opportunity to flex their muscles and remind the rest of their muscles and remind the rest of the world their military might. when they regarded what to be focused in internally on domestic issues. i lot of different potential flashpoints around the world around us when in the new york times mentions a bit of others as well. and this is fear. ask the us looks inward. and hong kong as well. hong kong as well. that the coronaviruses open up this to read about the world stage. i think america is not the leading figure it once was. and china clearly is flexing his muscle by britain so far as taking a super line on hong kong. i don't think it is clear get which will be the dominant force in terms of the bigger lady. i have to cut you there, lady. we are back in a0 minutes' time within the look at the
10:56 pm
papers. —— ladies. thank you both very much for the time being. pape| there. |dies. thank you both pape| there. we 5. thank you both pape| there. we will 1ank you both pape| there. we will end you both pape| there. we will end this both pape| there. we will end this week ona pape| there. we will end this week on a very different note to how we began the week. we lost our area of high pressure and low—pressure starting to take control. going to bring one year and wetter and cooler conditions. thursday looks like another cold day. cooler than on wednesday. we will have some spells area times. 0ur area of high pressure continues to retreat away. low pressure beginning to develop to oui’ ease. low pressure beginning to develop to our ease. that will bring further spells of rain. northerly winds as well which is what it will feel on the cool side. so for thursday we start off grey nut across the southeast with early that should clear away. we will have areas of longer skills. —— we start off great across. it will turn breezy as well.
