is culture of systematic fraud, that is been undertaken, then it doesn't seem to be any other options. of course, this will be interpreted as a political move, even if it is an attempt to enforce the law and we are going into what is already an incredibly divided election season in the us and i imagine that trump supporters will see this as an attack on the rights, given the role that the nra plays in american politics. how do you think this will fault than? us is going to be beneficial for the president or is this expose going to harm him and support the democrats? this could be an issue where those who support donald trump will be with him and the nra and his opponents and anyone who believes in gun control in the us, which is the majority of americans will support her in her

efforts, particularly beasts of the numbers involved of these four individuals siphoning off half a million dollars spent to the bahamas, this is the kind of corruption that were talking about in the only way it harms donald trump is financially because the nra is one of the largest political lobbying organisations in the us. they spent hundreds of millions of dollars unpacking republican candidates and programme rights —— pro—gun rights, and they were intending to donate many in novembers elections. and if it dissolves, it cannot make those donations and that matters from a financial perspective. donald trump is against this and says it's an attack on him and used in his usual

surrealist way, the nra is based in new york, which is why she is pursuing this, may be the nra could move to texas and live a peaceful life. . i was move to texas and live a peaceful life. . iwas going move to texas and live a peaceful life. . i was going to touch on this and figure out how you spend 60, $61; million in the space of three years but you touched upon it. the half—million pound dollar worth in the bahamas, the figures are staggering and will give more details as the evidence comes out. 0 nto details as the evidence comes out. onto the daily experience now, showing signs of strength that a positive sign in theory, can you just talk us through how less severe as the hit to the economy been from coronavirus. and the situation that
10:48 pm
we are looking at, there were some estimates that growth could have fallen by 12 and 14% by the end of the year and i looks like more like nine or io%. but again, these are estimates and there's a huge amount thatis estimates and there's a huge amount that is the uncertain and risks that are tilted towards the down side given the potential that we have for the virus, if not coming for a second wave because we've had so many seem to be cannot have a second wave goes against not dealt with the first wave yet. but we start to seek pricing pace to rising cases, but if we get only the contraction that they may be forecasting, potentially i2%, that was the most recent estimate that will come in at in 2020. in the for the scheme ends, that is going to again lead to an increase in
10:49 pm
unemployment and also there's this other issue on the horizon which will fit into the background a bit but the uk providing to businesses, the bounce back loans. the banks have been administering these loans between 30 and 50% of those in receipt of them will result from this scheme ends, so the government released to deal with that. when you get the virus coming out in force again, very high unemployment, that is setting the stage, notjust for a very deep and economic downturn, but he could lean out to a very severe financial system problem, and many other of the world have been trying to prevent that from happening, but i think it is important to remember that these forecasts are being updated month by month and they are being done so on the basis of what's
10:50 pm
happened over the past couple weeks. there is no certainty that things are not going to get worse and we need to be preparing for the worst rather than saying, everything is fine. everything can get back to normal. we have to have a little bit of confidence, don't we?|j normal. we have to have a little bit of confidence, don't we? i do not share the prime minister's confidence was done looking when we are facing the worst recession in 300 years, the 9% it's the economy is the biggest downturn in a hundred years in the good is that we are, the slump is better than expected but not as bad as expected, but the predictions are that the growth will be slower in the recovery will also be slower in the recovery will also be slower in the recovery will also be slower than expected. he forgot to look at the governments comments oi'i to look at the governments comments on this when they talk about unemployment and the rights and unemployment and the rights and unemployment is inevitable and the jobs are going to go in the furlough scheme ends because covid—19 is to shifted our economy and our way of
10:51 pm
life and work in the jobs are not going back and rather than trying to cling onto them, it will be better to invest in making sure the people who lose theirjobs have some way to switch jobs or switch careers into fields that are viable because of you think about anything from restaurants and hospitality, aviation, tourism, these things are coming back slowly but they will not go back to pre—covet levels if ever and we need to start preparing for that. i would like to see a little bit more realism from the prime minister other than everything will be fine. the front page of the daily telegraph has borisjohnson with those weights to show strength the economy, but let us focus on the story regarding the u—turn and people winning reprieves over their appeals. this is a really shocking
10:52 pm
story and we have seen the exam results that have been given, they seem results that have been given, they seem to have this advantage certain stu d e nts seem to have this advantage certain students quite a lot and students that had been disadvantaged into a come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, being affected byjust having much lower grades than they anticipated. i think the big problem is that the process doesn't appear to have been transparent at all and the people are very confused as to why the grades been awarded the way that they have and this is another indication that education disparities that have already been generated by the pandemic in these exa m generated by the pandemic in these exam results and also home—schooling for example in children for being educated by the parents, that is a huge difference between those pa rents huge difference between those parents staying at home and some level of care and education for their kids and those that are out.
10:53 pm
working full—time and trying to do it all themselves. this is going to bea it all themselves. this is going to be a real problem and i think will be a real problem and i think will be are seeing here is the tip of the iceberg. and it is not going away, whizzing cases rising in france, would be interesting to see if the later additions will change a little bit and reflect the travellers from belgium or the bahamas under quarantine in the uk which just goes to show that every country is watching out for the stickers and the races as lockdown measures ease and the numbers increase. we had the news about belgium and the bahamas and now, all countries keeping a close eye on france, think norway has already extended its quarantine rules to include france as well and we've got to remember that as all countries, the uk included get better at testing and are able to do much more testing, you're going to see an increase in cases that will
10:54 pm
result in being able to test more carefully. but i think that for as long as we are trying very hard to avoid this potential second wave, which were still part of the first one, countries are going to be keeping a very close eye on what goes on across borders. i am very concerned about this on a personal level because i'm going to italy, which is not on the list of amber warning countries but potentially could be. ithink warning countries but potentially could be. i think everyone wants the government to move quickly when they have not moved quickly in the past, this been very heavily criticised but given our two hours notice for people wanted to be quarantine is going to completely up in their life, could be disruptive. and we are walking a very delicate line and whatever they'll be accused of it either overreacting or not reacting quickly enough and just keep an eye on the numbers. it'll be interesting to see when you get to italy, you will have to let us know, but as
10:55 pm
countries as they appear on the list, they have to come off the list because of portugal. everyone worried that they were on the list but they are no longer on the list for those coming into the uk. a big pa rt for those coming into the uk. a big part of the criticism is that again, there does not seem to be any transparency about how these decisions are being made and is massively affecting tourists who are trying to lead in those coming back and as you're saying, the idea of new countries being put on quarantine lists very quickly and thus understandably changing situations. we are fast out of time, apologies are that but will be looking at the papers for another edition of the papers and just under half an hour. i will see you soon.
