unfit ‘ur average distance to a testing centre was only 5.8 miles, but that seems not to align with many people who have made the complaints that you have made the complaints that you have just raised. i think that going forward , have just raised. i think that going forward, there is a lot of hope being pinned on trying to get tests that can be sent out and sent back to laboratories and processed a lot more quickly as well and i think the time it currently takes in laboratories for the tests we have, there is a lot of optimism around some technology that can process test results between 20 and 60 minutes, but at the moment, they're just not as reliable as these tests laboratory just not as reliable as these tests la boratory tests just not as reliable as these tests laboratory tests are taking longer. johnson make compromise of her brexit bill. this is an internal markets bill and it passed with the government majority of 77, but it has upset a lot of conservative mps because they believe that this is breaking international law because it tries to unwind some of the
10:46 pm
withdrawal agreement and i think thatis withdrawal agreement and i think that is the briefest way of putting it, which allows britain to leave the eu. now, he think he may compromise, was it the ruse all along? we do not know what the compromise is, but clearly there is something going on. we know that it breaks international law, but as the secretary said, although another minister somehow, today suggested that brandon lewis was answering the wrong question when he gave that revelation and made clear that it is a breach of international law and that has upset an awful lot of conservative backbenchers and not many of them have rebelled yesterday, but it wasn't the crucial vote yesterday, and it comes next week on amendments to the bill when some of those abstained or waited for the house of commons that may, if the government does not
10:47 pm
compromise in some way, may well that actually vote against the government, whether there's enough of them actually to threaten boris johnson pretty substantial majority is an open question, but clearly he wants to minimise the risk of that and that and that is why there is talk of there being some sort of compromise and the compromise will probably be around allowing them to be another vote in the house of commons before international law was actually reached. just briefly, what m essa 9 es actually reached. just briefly, what messages the sending to the eu? actually reached. just briefly, what messages the sending to the 5mm is sending the message that boris johnson is willing to take a pretty dynamic and many of his own backbenchers used a very concerning approach to preach it withdrawal agreement of which the ink is barely dry, so he is showing his willingness to go beyond the normal negotiating tactics, perhaps to show
10:48 pm
that he does, his advocates say that this may be what is needed to break the deadlock in the negotiations we have seen currently. we have a picture here of him sitting up, saying that he is on the mend, he was poisoned with not a chuck and the fact that he's breathing on his own is something to celebrate, he says. lovely picture of him smiling next to his wife and two children and clearly, he has got his sense of humour back, a right message that he posted on instagram about the underrated, underappreciated pleasure of being able to breathe without external help. he highly recommends it, but sink and confirmed that they will certainly be returning to russia and a lot of interest and intrigue on whether she will be going back there. his team
10:49 pm
are very much pointing the finger at vladimir putin and accusing it of being under his orders and that he was poisoned with knowledge —— novichok, it also putting his life in great danger but as i going to stop him from taking up mantle again. absolutely, he is absolutely determined to carry on his political campaign, he is an extremely brave man andl campaign, he is an extremely brave man and i think that if we do accept that he was poisoned and that certainly seems to be the evidence in some summerthe certainly seems to be the evidence in some summer the russian state was responsible for that, they're sending a strong signal to anybody who stands up against president vladimir putin as to what could happen to them. and if he has the courage to go back, then we should admire him allthe more. courage to go back, then we should admire him all the more. a quick comment
10:50 pm
about the story of golden ball. not becoming the top earner after the publication of the hype pay list, very much at the right top and he has agreed to take a £400,000 pay cut, if only we could all do that. it's like wanting to pay a million. i don't know if the director general will see this is a good new story about mystery, it answers the scandal of the imbalance between men and women of the bbc, that the woman is not the top of the pile, but it is not the top of the pile, but it is eye watering in taking a 22% pay cut and still be on one points seven, but not a lot of money, a lot of zeros. lucy, brings into question there is a time of the bbc‘s future is upfor there is a time of the bbc‘s future is up for debate, the licence fee, should become a subscription service
10:51 pm
and are these highly paid people really worth the money when people of the age of 75 are being asked to pay the licence fee again for the first time in nearly 20 years?” think you made it clear right there, it is unsustainable when the figures today show the 250,000 fewer licenses reported last year, 25 million is to live figure, but as the highest rate of decline to be seenin the highest rate of decline to be seen in recent years and at the same time, the opera salary has risen 3.5% to £i.5 time, the opera salary has risen 3.5% to £1.5 billion it so, you can't have the subscriptions of licence numbers going down in the salary still going up, so i think the new bbc director general has his work it out for him. he certainly does, thank you very much. that's it for the papers. if you're in the uk, by and by will be back in just over
10:52 pm
good evening, i'm tt and this is your sports news — where we start with the carabao cup and premier league side aston villa survived a scare against burton albion to move into the third round. it was the league one outfit that went ahead very early on — colin daniel putting burton ahead after little more than a minute. but villa were level before half time, 0llie watkins with a goal on his debut. dean smith's side left it late to win it, jack grealish after signing a new five year deal with a brilliant volley before keenan davis added a third in stoppage time and of course all tonight's results and reaction on the website. the english football league will continue to stage pilots with up to 1,000 fans at matches this weekend, following approval from the government who have restricted crowds after a rise
10:53 pm
in coronavirus cases but it's different and even more dire in the national league. their chairman brian barwick says the players may not get paid if the situation doesn't change. the reality of it is that our clubs depend on clicking and the food and drink people consume at the games to play their way. i think they been vote supported by the government like very many businesses and by the football family, but we want to stand on her own two feet and to stand on her own two feet and to stand on her own two feet and to stand on her own two feet is being allowed to have spectators in the stadium watching the games. let's round up some of the day's other sports stories. and arsenal captain pierre—emerick aubameyang has put an end to speculation about his future at the club after signing a new three—year deal. his contract was due to expire at the end of the season, meaning he would have been free to talk to other clubs from january.
10:54 pm
coco gauff is into the second round of the italian 0pen. the 16—year old american beat the tunisian 0ns jabeur in straight sets in rome. formula 0ne's bosses will not investigate lewis hamilton's decision to wear a t—shirt highlighting police brutality at sunday's tuscan grand prix. the shirt called for action over the death of breonna taylor — the black woman who was shot eight times in her home in kentucky by us police in march. staying with motor sport news and with coronavirus affecting all areas of sport from fans to players — the managing director of silverstone stuart pringle has told the bbc the racetrack needs to get all fans back for next summer's british grand prix. he says this year has been incredibly damaging — and without a full house next year, the future of silverstone itself hangs in the balance: i didn't want to run with a reduced audience next year because it will simply make us lose more money quicker. and we cannot sustain that, our balance sheet is not robust enough, and we need to get back to normality.
10:55 pm
so when the government talk about very positive progress with vaccines and a very expansive testing regime, i hope that one or other or a combination of the pair will see us back to full capacity of the british grand prix in 2021, because if we are not there, silverstone will be in a dire place and we will not be alone. five stages to go at the tour de france, and slovenia's primoz roglic is still up there at the top of the standings — but his fellow countryman tadej pogacar is only a0 seconds behind and determined to make a fight of it. drew savage watched stage 16. the first of three tough days in the alps, but more to come, second place in the main contender seemed happy to let a breakaway happen at the front. at the back, another side of cycling for last year's winner egan bernal. out of contention after cracking on stage 15, but he seemed to enjoy carrying the supplies for his ineos team mates.
10:56 pm
one of whom, richard carapaz, was in the breakaway and in contention for stage victory until the young german rider, lennard kemna, made his move on the penultimate climb and raced away. with the main group miles behind, kemna, no threat to the overall leaders, held his advantage, and had time to savour his first win at the tour. fresh talent has come through in this year's race, and tadej pogacar, in the white jersey of the best young rider, did his best to chip away at roglic‘s 40—second lead. he couldn't get away from the man in yellow, but he'll keep trying. in italy, dutch rider annamiek van vleuten still leads womens‘ road cycling's biggest race, the giro rosa, by nearly two minutes. stage five ended with the first bunch sprint of the race and marianna vos, also of the netherlands, outpaced the field, to win her second stage this year. van vleuten finished safely in the bunch to keep the pink jersey, with four stages go.
10:57 pm
the england players who were offered contracts for the women's hundred this year, will be able to take up the same deal next summer. the 100—ball cricket competition was due to start injuly but it was postponed because of the pandemic. the ecb said players had the option to roll over their contracts with the same team on the same pay, or sign with other teams from next month. i think it was the best way to move forward with the contracts, i think. i think one of the things to look into more and more in women's cricket is a bit ofjob security. 0bviously making its, i guess, more financially viable option for more people than just the england contracted players. so it obviously offers some kind of income security to those girls who got offered contracts last year. i think there is a lot of talk about it, but i think it's the fairest way to move forward next season. meanwhile, the england and wales cricket board is set to cut 62 jobs because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. chief executive, tom harrison, said the game will lose more than £100 million this year — a figure which could rise to £200 million next year.
