would be whether it actually would be impact their rights to do bilateral deals with other countries and companies like astrazeneca. there is a wider concern, susie, about four countries that may not be able to get in front of the line as quickly as the richer one. yes. as we saw in donald trump this week, there are richer nations doing everything they can to buy up global stock in various treatments of remdesivir. but what is shocking is eu is doing what any sort of large block of nations would do which is seeking to have its own dealfor its which is seeking to have its own deal for its members. which is seeking to have its own dealfor its members. as the benefits are being in a union but what is shocking is that last week it was being braced that the uk wasn't even taking part in this in any way shape or form, this week now they are showing the fact may be we are thinking about it and considering it. but what they are considering it. but what they are considering according to the ft is london is assessing whether the advantages of the european block bargaining power to strike deals
10:46 pm
outweighs the broader political desire to sever ties with brussels. we are actually assessing whether lives matter more than ideology. i cannot believe we have got here. lives matter more than ideology. i cannot believe we have got herem it as simple as that? that is what they are reporting. they should not be that simple. it should really be is the eu going to provide us with the vaccine that we need if we can get the vaccines. we have our own deal with astrazeneca. but if we did that with the eu, or part of our deal will go and so on. negotiations are to be had but according to the newspaper we are weighing up our government we have a far weighing up with our lives matter as much as their ideology about brexit. that is insane. let's move on to the new york times now. this is a very sad report here. it talks about the vulnerability of many women in this
10:47 pm
lockdown period, many people in this period, victims trapped with their abusers and homes, consequences have been catastrophic during the first month after they lockdown began in late march, 16 women and girls were killed and suspected domestic homicides and many other cases of violence. john. homicides and many other cases of violence. john. yes. that whirring figure about the 16 women and girls who were killed in the first month i lockdown in the uk, they have gone back and compared it to say that is three times the number who were killed in the same period last year. the criticism here is suggesting that the government hasn't done enough to think about the possibility of how lockdown could have led to an increase in domestic violence. this is something the government disputes and say they have placed a lot of money and they saw this could be a problem and i think they suggested that they put forward £37 million to try and tackle this issue, one of the criticisms in this article is some
10:48 pm
of that money hasn't actually made it to the front line and i think the new york times is suggesting that just £1 million about £37 million actually made it to front line charities. susie, you looked appalled at some of this. if some of the concern coming from the fact that other countries seem to have quite a bit of preparation for this? my quite a bit of preparation for this? my concern is coming from the fact this is a sad and if you're fatal failure by the government, not to plan for the obvious. other nations around the world knew domestic abuse was going to be an important part of their pandemic preparations. new zealand, australia, italy, spain. they made plans for this and started. i read this evening that the government coronavirus strategy data published contains three mentions of domestic abuse, not one of them is about what they would do to resolve the issues. on april the 11th, priti patel highlighted the message abuse fears and said she was
10:49 pm
going to ensure that victims had everything they needed atjohn had just said, she promised £37 million and they got £1 million. and this is from a government that has built out businesses at the expense of leaving abuse men, women and children in the homes with their abusers. this will have caused immense social damage that will last a decade and criminal justice damage as well. we have a court system where there are not enough court buildings and huge delays and court cases where they have been cut to domestic abuse survivors. in custer police in 2010. all of which means that with coronavirus, being locked in a building which her abuser has been the perfect storm for murder and rape and child abuse and everything else that is going on. for this government to have set there and said he will do everything they can and throw a measly £1 million added is appalling. this april the 11th as priti patel said she would do come april the 27th, the home affairs select committee asked terry very
10:50 pm
nicely to have some cobra meetings about this. and get domestic abuse right up there and do some national strategy planning. it did not happen. people are dying as a result of that complete and utter abomination of failure. this report of the new york times talks about some of that planning that happened in other countries but did not happen here. germany for instance made an open ended place to fund shelters and other crucial services, spain italy and new zealand included domestic abuse preparations and their broader lockdown planning from their broader lockdown planning from the start. but what can the government do now? what did they need to do nowjohn? government do now? what did they need to do now john? the government needs to look at how some of these other countries have dealt with this issue and look at whether they should have done other stuff. but i kind of come of the lockdown is being used now and it does change the situation but obviously domestic violence doesn't go away and it is important for the government to take
10:51 pm
this seriously. absolutely. let's ta ke this seriously. absolutely. let's take a look at our last paper here. the times compete out to help out. we had the chance select saying that britain needs to start spending in pubs and restaurants again to prevent a generation of young people being lost to coronavirus. he says it is the nation proximate duty to relearn what it's like to go out again and avoid a job meltdown. susie, is it now our patriotic duty to go to restaurants and pubs?|j should to go to restaurants and pubs?” should apologise. i was infuriating by everything we are talking about tonight. one of the most tone deaf interviews i think i have ever read. ina interviews i think i have ever read. in a situation that we are and where one may give people in hospitality many of them young who are facing losing theirjobs and at the end of the furlough scheme and only had 80% of their pay come if they go back to work tomorrow, if they don't go back to work, they're worried about covid—19 or affecting somebody there when i can paid and if they go back
10:52 pm
to work and the people don't turn up and their shifts get cut anyway and they lose their jobs, and their shifts get cut anyway and they lose theirjobs, and the survey goes out early today shows that less than 20% of us planned to god anyway. only about 10% actually intend to go to a pub. lee of people are not going out because we don't feel safe. not least as well because are not much fun if you cannot socialised and worried about child touching things in the toilet getting infected and the virus. but when you have a situation and you have the chancellor here who as i said earlier wejust have the chancellor here who as i said earlier we just ended the brainless game which is been wound up brainless game which is been wound up and ended ourfirst mortgage holiday, 12,000 people lost their jobs. —— ended the furlough scheme. we are scheduled to have 10% unemployment before the end of this crisis. to sit there and tell us when most of us do not have money to spare because when most of us do not have money to spa re because we when most of us do not have money to spare because we are not married to the daughters of billionaires unlike mrsue the daughters of billionaires unlike mr sue neck, that we should go out and start spending money in pubs right now like it is going out. ——
10:53 pm
mr richey sue neck. we want to support people but we are worried about your ownjob support people but we are worried about your own job in your own outreach and putting food on your own table you and i spend four times what it cost to buy in a shop to go and have it in a pub in an incredibly stressed environment. he says here we need to eat out to help out. that is his new phrase. eat out and get completely stressed out in a pub worrying about getting too close to you. this isn't the way we fix the economic problems we have. this is the way you shift the blame for economic problems unto the citizenship. let me bring john in. everything susie say but richey sue neckis everything susie say but richey sue neck is saying this is a consumption driven economy. this is how we must fix it. yes. not sure i understand susie pass my point there. if we wa nt susie pass my point there. if we want to make sure people stay in their jobs want to make sure people stay in theirjobs emaciated want to make sure people stay in their jobs emaciated that want to make sure people stay in theirjobs emaciated that we support hospitality sector workers and the other way really to do that is to start getting the economy moving again. in doing it in a safe and
10:54 pm
secure way. i'm not sure pubs are going to be the same as tomorrow. i think tomorrow will be a bit weird. pubs are having to take special senses. they have to note down all of the customers. they have to order from a table. things will be a bit different and pubs. it is a tricky balance for the government this one. they want to get the economy moving but a lot of people are reluctant to go out. they know that is a problem. you see had a chance let encouraging people to go out and spend money and get some money in the till to get the economy going. the other concern is about the spread of coronavirus the other worries about the people might be unwise and so it richey sue neck's message comes in contrast to some of the things we have been hearing. —— the business secretary's message. just 20 people not to blow it. we are not out of it yet. the virus is still around. you have to
10:55 pm
stay in small groups if you go out. be sensible. the daily mail front page they're talking about quote from matt hancock, and concerns that people might go out way too much tomorrow, the first time any some people have been more than three months and he is warning people if you go out and misbehave and you'll end up lockdown again behind bars.” think the one thing we can probably agree on is that recovery would not be simple. thank you so much for joining me. that's it for the papers. if you're in the uk, john and susie will be back in just over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered by newspapers and websites here. goodbye for now. hello. whilst for many of us, the day turned windier, cloudier, much wetter as well,
10:56 pm
there are always exceptions — and for kent today, well, the skies stayed broken even into the afternoon. there were some sunny spells around, but even here, we are likely to see a bit of rain before the day is done, slipping its way southeastwards to those areas that have stayed dry for much of the day. into the weekend, this flood of moist air coming in from the south west with plenty of cloud around to start the weekend, and some outbreaks of rain. that will continue for some of us overnight. where it's been so very wet across parts of scotland, actually, it will be drier overnight. some chilly, clear spells into northeast scotland, but a really warm and muggy night underneath that cloud cover for much it stays windy, as it will be into tomorrow, with a lot of cloud around. some outbreaks of rain, more especially into the north and west. very patchy in nature, not falling with the same intensity as it did today. if you're to the east of high ground, you may get to see a few sunny spells. if you do, it will feel quite warm and humid out there, despite a wind gusting around 30—110 mph.
10:57 pm
it gets windier still overnight and into sunday. you can see by looking at the big picture here, this area of low pressure will pass close to scotland, driving a weather front southwards on sunday. but it's the squeeze in the isobars just to the southern flank of this area of low pressure where we will see the strongest winds. now, the cold front will introduce cooler and fresher air for the north on sunday, getting rid of all of that cloud and humidity. so it will brighten up on sunday once we lose any showery rain in the south. so, sunny spells and showers on sunday, the showers most frequent in scotland, in northern ireland, some heavy, possibly thundery. the major concern on sunday is the strength of wind, again, just on the southern flank of that low pressure. parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland could see some gusts around 50—60 mph, maybe a bit more in some spots, potentially disruptive winds, then, on sunday, could cause some problems — more like autumn then summer — and it will begin to turn cooler from the north, even though there will be some sunny spells around. taking a glimpse into next week,
10:58 pm
monday still very blustery, sunshine, a few showers around. whilst we keep low—pressure close, particularly for scotland and northern ireland, with further rain at times, the further south you are in england and wales, looks mainly dry, warmer, sunny spells.
