"radical" changes to the education system in england — the newcastle city council leader to help boost the economy post—covid. speaking in exeter, the prime nick forbesjoins me now. minister said the pandemic has exposed major shortcomings in the labour market. he's set out plans to fund college i would like to get your thoughts on courses for adults in england what you make of a government who leave school without an a level minister unable to answer a direct or equivalent quaification. helen catt reports. question about this on the radio this morning and the prime minister missed king as he says earlier. what after weeks of making announcements of more restrictions, a high message does that that send out when visibility outing for the prime minister to people try to understand these launch a skills plan rules. it send out the message that to build back the economy. they do not know what they're doing. the keystone pledge, they are making it up as they go a free college course for

anyone in england who doesn't along and one of the reasons why have a qualification i've been so frustrated by the equivalent to an a—level. announcement being made yesterday before we'd had a chance to talk to them, to get discounted details a huge number of them are going to have to changejobs, change finalised, is we've had 24—hour is skills, and at the moment if you are of chaos and confusion that was over 23, the state provides virtually no free entirely avoidable. it really makes training to help you. in fact, we have seen a haemorrhage in the last 20 years in adult education. me angry and it makes members of the a million fewer than there were. we are going to change that right now. public. that the government cannot the funding will be in place from april. details of the courses even get the basic facts right when themselves are set to be unveiled next month. it comes to what are asking people there will be more flexibility and apprenticeships too, with to do or giving in terms of new laws apprentices able for us to abide by. it deeply is to switch companies. frustrating and it is just shambolic the incompetent. white mikey said the incompetent. white mikey said the news conference people should go to local authorities, council for there will be easier access to higher education loans for technical qualifications. the details. what is the process for you finding out what is in the detail. lets be clear, these regulations and their new laws with now is the time to end the snooty and frankly fines attached to them come into vacuous distinction between the practical and the academic. effect from midnight tonight and, as

and now is the time to give everybody, with of now, i have still not seen the this lifetime skills guarantee, give people of all ages the means and the confidence to switch and get final list of premises or regulations affected. this isjust the skills they need. ridiculous. how on earth can we possibly be expected to understand the idea is to spread skills training over a lifetime, rather than just a few what is expected of people in our years, and to encourage take—up of region? everyone wants to do the more high—quality right thing and want to make sure we vocational courses. today's announcement from the prime minister is a really get this right so we stop the spread important step forwards. we have a skills of the virus but how can we do this challenge anyway in this country, but with the pandemic if we arejust that is more important than ever, of the virus but how can we do this if we are just left hanging by a with rising unemployment. government who doesn't know the it creates a lifetime skills a nswe rs government who doesn't know the a nswers to guarantee, very welcome. government who doesn't know the answers to the question is, hasn't it creates opportunity provided us with the information and for more bite—size learning. however, we do think the prime minister is hasn't yet given us a clear steer on missing a trick in not turning the apprenticeship levy how any of this will be enforced? into a flexible skills levy what do you say to people watching and there is still more to do. jose you are labour leader of the but with coronavirus leading to bleak projections on unemployment council, you are going to say this, figures, it is the next few months aren't you? i want these restrictions in place. they are not that concern many. there is a major emergency now in terms of the number of people who are being made particularly welcome, i have to say, unemployed and the number of young but we know they are necessary in people not a college. we have seen order to prevent this further spread lots of colleges making redundancies of the virus and we know very well this year. so from april, it is like spreading most in bars and pubs, and in people mixing between different telling a drowning man you are about

households, so there is no argument to build a new lifeboat. number ten about needing them in place to keep has always had plans to make changes people safe and we all know we have to skills training, it is a key part of its mission to improve life to abide by them to make sure we can chances across the uk. at the coronavirus pandemic has added very quickly try to reduce the particular urgency and pressure. in the last minute, the prime numbers in our region but the government have made a difficult minister borisjohnson has tweeted and apologised for mis—speaking situation far worse. they've lurched earlier today on the new from crisis to chaos and that really restrictions being brought in on the north—east. he said new rules mean doesn't fill anybody with confidence that they know what they are doing —— let's get more on this from our political correspondentjessica parker. with this and it opens the door for something we couldn't get an answer conspiracy theorists to speculate on and the prime minister got wrong. and spread all sorts of rumours on is new restrictions come into force the internet which has having the in the north—east tonight, the effect of undermining the very skills minister was asked earlier public health messages that we are today if it will be illegal for all trying to get across. new people to in pub gardens and outside castle, great city, party city on a friday night with people knowing how areas of restaurants, she said she to enjoy themselves. will people didn't know. it was then put to stick to the rules as this goes on? borisjohnson during over the weekend, the vast majority didn't know. it was then put to boris johnson during his didn't know. it was then put to borisjohnson during his speech by a journalist earlier on this morning of people in our city abided by the and he gave an answer that seemed a little confused at times and he took restrictions that were introduced last week. i've got absolute

to twitter later on to say he had got it wrong, and set out what the confidence that people will understand the reasons for these rules are. if it is helpful to rules but alongside these new people, my understanding of what the restrictions, we also do need rules are is it will be illegal to support for affected businesses. that was part of what we asked for, mix households in pubs and in pa rt that was part of what we asked for, part of the package we asked for and restau ra nts, mix households in pubs and in restaurants, it's already illegal in in effect, the government have only those affected areas to mix in done half a job i am announcing the households and in private gardens and it will not be illegal to mix in restrictions. what we haven't seen yet is anything around additional pub gardens and outdoor errors of business support, additional test and trace capacity and help to make restau ra nts pub gardens and outdoor errors of restaurants but it will be against guidance. not confusing at all. the sure everyone in our city and wider wider point is if ministers don't region understands exactly what is seem to know the guidance and the being asked of them. white met the law, how are people who are already prime minister said we'll have to grappling with various bits of pull together, we did before, and guidance expected to follow it as well and, crucially, comply with it you need to do it again. he is in order to suppress the virus? then right, isn't he? absolutely but to do that, everyone has to know what he was speaking about education and is expected on them and when we have the change of emphasis which he chaos and confusion, and ministers thinks is going to be needed after covid. there are a set of long-term not even answering basic questions problems that may be have been made about what they're expecting to have more urgent, the argument would go, enforced from midnight tonight, it doesn't anyone with constant. my

because of coronavirus. we've heard plea to people across the north—east before about the skills gap in is let's just get on, ignore certain sectors. this idea that there are some snooty nest between government, ignore the mess they are making of it. we know what we need academic qualifications and to do, it's about social distancing, vocational qualifications, and boris hand hygiene and facial coverings johnson addressing that today but i everywhere we go. let's make sure we think the background in terms of all do that and abide by that, and coronavirus is, and the government by coming together, with the spirit and cooperation, we can beat the knows unemployment is set to rise virus and get the numbers down over the coming months, and some again. yeah, when you say ignore the people will suggest, i think, that government, you do not mean ignore the curfew is going to make the the laws. i mean ignore the mess. we situation worse for the hospitality sector. we heard lots of people from the industry raise huge concerns about those rules and what the are asking people not to mix outside government of trying to do is say, we have a plan to help re—skill of bubbles or settings. that people over the coming months and yea rs people over the coming months and years where they need to do so, and includes bars, pubs, restaurants and meet those in demand industry is it includes house people will find that have been long—term problems in that very difficult and i know people are really angry about that terms of supplying that demand. one of the points is that in terms of but the reason this is necessary is

this funding for three courses for because the evidence shows that is any adult who does not have any where the virus spreads. the sooner level or equivalent qualification, the funding will not come on tap until april. the suggestion is it is too late because, by that point, we get the numbers down, the sooner someone who may have been furloughed earlier this year could have we get the numbers down, the sooner potentially been out of work for we can all start meeting friends nearly a year and the longer people are out of work, as can be harder to again. it says in the north—east, then re—enter thejob market. new rules mean you cannot go on. are out of work, as can be harder to then re-enter the job market. the prime minister, after the zip line experience all those years ago, when it's not the whole of the he is told to go and put another north—east, is it? it's not the whole of the north-east, is it? the seven counties varies in the scottish brick in the wall, do a photo opportunity, does he enjoy it? boris borders to county durham including tyne wear. the tees valley is johnson enjoys doing things that currently excluded from these new have an optimistic note to them and, if you think back to last week, he regulations and frankly i don't think we are particularly different obviously delivered the news to from other parts of the country. and ministers across the uk in terms of national restrictions, a slightly gloomy moment. you have him coming other parts of the uk will have forward with his economic plan. things imposed on them in the next few weeks. keeping jobs alive, borisjohnson wanting to return to a more

optimistic note today, we had that if you are confused as one government minister and perhaps the agenda we heard top. but of course prime minister himself are about restrictions on the north—east and elsewhere, we'll try to write. there are huge challenges ahead and at 3.30 our health correspondent lauren moss will be here it's not the first time governments have tried to, for example, you to help me clear it all up. you can send in your questions by emailing yourquestions@bbc.co.uk or tweet us using the hash tag think it might be done already. good bbc your questions. to talk. there we go. putting another brick in the wall. who says we not a team? thank you very much, i'll ask. we'll sort this all out. 3:30pm. you'll do it. jess. john evans is the principal & chief executive cornwall college group. they have 10 campuses across cornwall and devon. —— we'll do it. what difference will this make borisjohnson has vowed "radical" changes to the education system in england — to further education colleges? to help boost the first of all, presumably you welcome economy post—covid. speaking in exeter, the prime the change in emphasis from academic minister said the pandemic has exposed major shortcomings in the labour market. he's set out plans to fund college to vocational. without a doubt. it's courses for adults in england who leave school without an a level or equivalent quaification. helen catt reports.

something colleges and the further after weeks of making announcements education sector has been talking of more restrictions, about very few time. colleges do a high visibility outing for the prime minister both. we do academic and vocational. to launch a skills plan to build back the economy. the keystone pledge, the important thing for me is two a free college course for anyone m essa 9 es the important thing for me is two messages are there. one is that in england who doesn't have a qualification equivalent to an a—level. finally colleges are getting the recognition they deserved whereas we tend to talk about schools a lot and universities a lot, and the alison a huge number of them are going to have to change jobs, change skills, and at the moment ruth report many years ago spoke if you are over 23, the state about the forgotten child which is further education yet we are the provides virtually no free training to help you. in fact, we have seen people who know when you have someone build your house, major car, a haemorrhage in the last 20 years in adult education. look after your children, and all a million fewer than there were. those vocational skills, this is we are going to change where they would trade. there is a bit about acknowledgement in there that right now. andi bit about acknowledgement in there and i think we've been asking for that for a long time, and we're the funding will be really with that. colleges have been in place from april. details of the courses themselves around a long time, you do what it are set to be unveiled next month. there will be more flexibility says on the tin and your brilliant in apprenticeships too, with apprentices able at it. you would argue your best to switch companies. there will be easier access to higher education loans place to tackle the various skill for technical qualifications. shortages highlighted today. why absolutely. that's my second point. there is the acknowledgement that some adults only... i don't think it will just be now is the time to end

some adults only... i don't think it willjust be those who haven't got the pointless, snooty an a—level. there is about people and frankly vacuous distinction between the practical and the academic. and now is the time to give who may have a level three that everybody, with this lifetime skills guarantee, might want to re—skill. but the give people of all ages the means and the confidence to switch and get devil is in the detail. even if you the skills they need. have one a—level, you still get a free course because it takes three the idea is to spread skills training over a lifetime, a—levels to be a full level three. rather than just a few years, and to encourage take—up of more provided you haven't got a full high—quality vocational courses. level three, you can have the full qualification funded. some people think, i'm of a certain age, no longer young but i do need to today's announcement re—skill. it is impossible to get an from the prime minister is a really important step forwards. we have a skills challenge electrician, plumber, any sort of anyway in this country, skilled work out there. how do we but with the pandemic that is more important than ever, retrain for that? presumably that is with rising unemployment. a mark at the prime minister is it creates a lifetime skills thinking about. yes, the bricklayer guarantee, very welcome. it creates opportunity for more bite—size learning. however, we do think the prime minister is missing a trick in not turning the apprenticeship levy into a flexible skills levy. is not that far from here. there is still more to do. but with coronavirus leading thinking about. yes, the bricklayer is not that farfrom here. for me, to bleak projections it's about contacting your local on unemployment figures, college. colleges are brilliant it is the next few months about supporting the regional and that concern many. it is far too little too late.

local economy, and the areas, and there is a major emergency now in terms of the number of people the communities. we are full of who are being made unemployed and the number of young aduu people not at college. the communities. we are full of adult learners as it is. adult we have seen lots of colleges making programmes have been around a long redundancies this year. time. one thing boris said which is so announcing something from april, correct as the numbers have been it is like telling a drowning man you are about to build declining for a long time because a new lifeboat. number ten has always had plans the funding support for them has been removed. i think this could now to make changes to skills training, it is a key part of its self—set mission to improve life open upa been removed. i think this could now open up a whole new world and we are chances across the uk. but the coronavirus pandemic already talking as a senior has added particular management team about getting ready urgency and pressure. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. for april. is there a new programme we could put on that would be short and sharp because i do not think anyone wants a two or three—year mark dawe, chief executive programme. i think they want these of the skills network. skills very quickly to enable them you presumably welcome the to move into a newjob and start announcement? gilbert yes, any earning a living. i was going to ask about the practicality of this. april seems a long way away but if information is welcome. the point we are still in some form of made in april, we get thousands of lockdown, we are talking about skills where you need to be in the learners at the moment. it's a bit same room. we have that challenge at ofa learners at the moment. it's a bit of a delay and we've also seen the funding for adult actually half over the minute. the 3000 students are that ten years down to 1.5 million.

i think boris‘ 2.5 million is... but not able to practically do that online. we have the safe rules in place, working very well. but it's a recognition in a step in the equally, there is a back—up of right direction. and they ship works online learning and where we had two vocational skills which many people positive cases on two campuses, we say has been a long time coming. have gone into a 14 day lockdown for that bubble and moved onto a absolutely. apprenticeships are seen timetable from that learning on the theory that support that, and now as a really strong way of certainly one of the groups came learning right from the entry—level back last week and worked really at level two all the way up to well. who knows where we will be in apprenticeships in the announcement april. we are certainly geared up mention some of the change already for it but that is what colleges do. happening in apprenticeships. one of your brilliant about that. you got our worries is that there are a lot was a problem and resolve it. like my good to talk to you. —— of people now and not necessarily at level three, even you are levels, was a problem and resolve it. like my good to talk to you. -- good to talk to you. the last scheduled round of talks who need support in english and on a free trade deal between the uk maths, support in small chunks of and the european union are taking skills. we need lots across the place in brussels today. both sides say they need to reach country and during covid online so an agreement next month. earlier our brussels corresponent nick beake explained exactly what brussels want to see the learner can learn all the way through online and get their from the deal certificate, and there is a demand there that is not being met as well, it's interesting because we've seen so the more investment, fantastic

this big public row between eu and the uk. this month after the uk said it was prepared to rip up parts of but they should be one small step the brexit divorce deal that was of towards a much wider approach to course agreed last year. which aduu towards a much wider approach to adult skills and funding. with you prompted the eu to say, if that before. a report looking at exactly happens, there can be no trade deal in the future but interestingly, if this which made many of the you talk to people involved in the recommendations seem to be talks behind the scenes, they will say they've been going ok actually information. the report had a whole and some progress has been made. but range of things. one about losing it's pretty clear that some concessions have to be made because the distinction between further education and higher education. the checking in with people today, they tell you the same thing on both sides, they say a deal can be done prime minister talking about adults, he is talking about 19 plus. our and the other lot is not willing to view is everyone have a skills give ground but i think give ground is what both sides will have to do, account and should be able to go and by the learning from whatever specifically on the big areas that learning it is from whoever to help divide them at the moment. that is them progress. they should not have fishing, the eu has acknowledged that there is a strong area for the british and there will be more set programmes they can buy but they british and there will be more british fish in british waters and should be able to go to a college or someone like us to do online learning 20 47 or a university or in terms of london giving ground, i think there has to be some sort of the open university and able to get that and have their account and

acknowledgement that brussels wants control over it. and for some to see the british signing up to things like food and agricultural people, maybe it's 21, 25, 27. not standards and also giving some sort of guarantee when it comes to things like government subsidies in the eve ryo ne people, maybe it's 21, 25, 27. not everyone at 18 wanting to go to future, so an interesting week if university and a lot of people are they go well, we can expect the talks to intensify over the next at university thinking, why am i being locked up in holes doing it couple of weeks. donald trump and joe biden go head online and i could be doing to head tonight in the first us something different?” presidential tv debate — online and i could be doing something different? i wanted to ask about that because presumably in and it could be lively. the president's on the back foot — this covid rolls, it's quite after revelations in the new york difficult. you need to be in a times about his business classroom with someone or in a room losses and tax affairs. at least to learn these things are it's likely to come up. our washington correspondent, very often need tactile skills.l gary o'donoghue reports. the stages almost set. the actors lot of the demand we get from these seem to be in place. —— soon to be common skills as across all sectors, in place. the president has done around their attitudes of team working, and a whole range of things little formal preparation, questioning his opponents' mental like that, and we run programmes that care workers and all sorts that capacity —— like his opponent's are all online and the feedback from mental capacity, calling him sleepy during going for further. he was no both employers and learners is how

fantastic it is. you can get the winston churchill in debating but he was fine. people say he was on best people in the world as part of the programme delivery, delivering it online rather than relying on people dotted around in individual performance enhancing drugs. white institutions around the country. might be former vice president's reaction to that? he's almost... what we are seeing over the last six months is a massive shift was fifa's attitudes to online learning and now, i have no comment. it was here some of it will have to be blended. in cleveland four years ago that donald trump was anointed as the it cannot all be online. there is still the challenge in bricklaying republican candidate for president. online but a lot of it can be either now, he finds himself trailing in the polls, trailing in the swing partially online through the online and that is the change we you're seeing as well. why in this very states and being outspent by the democrats. this debate is his chance strange year where a lot of people to change the dynamics of this are reassessing their lives to be election. the debate will cover six honest, they may feel that their areas. among them, the supreme court and the controversy surrounding the careers, jobjust not honest, they may feel that their careers, job just not going to survive this and they're thinking filling of the vacant seat. also the about what is available to them. handling of the covid pandemic and what advice you give to someone who might be saying, this is the moment the integrity of the election, a i change my life was mac this is favourite subject of the president. something i will make an opportunity who has most to lose? some people out of. absolutely and i will go

might think the stakes are high for trump because he is doing well in back to apprenticeships and a lot of the polls. i think the way that people who would be going back to trump makes up ground is by biden university saying, actually, i want to get into work, learn and down, looking back so... that says biden's and actually apply that learning as igo and actually apply that learning as i go along, so we are seeing a big performance is more important than chop's performance. trump showed shift and obviously there are some sectors being really hit, whether four years ago he would break the it's hospitality, retail, sport rules of such rights. it's sectors but other sectors, this is interesting that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in this what the prime minister referred to, country. because you'd be injail. in are you, wind farms, adult care whiteman during that campaign, he and many sectors which are desperate and joe biden demonstrated —— a for new skills and obviously in dislike for one another. you'll make the press always ask me, don't i teaching, we employ more and more every week at the moment to demand, wish i were debating? no, i wish we so every week at the moment to demand, so it's about understanding what the we re wish i were debating? no, i wish we were in high school, i could take on employer wants. you have many of the behind the gym. he wants to bring me to the back of the barn. oh! some skills. it's all about transferring things in life, you could really love doing. unlike previous debates, those. i further out file being skills. it's all about transferring those. ifurther out file being made redundant but who are fantastic at two contenders will not have a big audience to feed off as as you are programme management and logical thinking of moving into the logistics sector to have a think

60 people will be in the awl itself. about where you might want to move nevertheless, this moment will touch tens of millions of americans and and then about the additional skills and then about the additional skills and you can either do that online that all—importa nt tiny with yourselves, or colleges or tens of millions of americans and that all—important tiny group who haven't yet made up their minds. universities, so there is a real opportunity to make that shift. thank you, good to talk to you. thank you, good to talk to you. thank you, good to talk to you. thank you for your time. and you can watch that debate live from i.30am tonight on the bbc news channel — the uk government have imposed sanctions and tomorrow on bbc iplayer. on the president of belarus, alexander lukashenko over human education secretary gavin williamson rights violations in relation says the government will work with universities to make to august's disputed presidential election. sure all students are supported the sanctions are part to return home for christmas — of a joint—effort with the canadian if they choose to. government against mr lukashenko around a0 universities around the uk and six other senior figures, have had reports of coronavirus including his son victor. cases and thousands of students the foreign secretary, are having to self—isolate —— dominic raab said the two country would not accept the result right at the start of the new term. of the ‘rigged election' our education correspondent and condemned alexander lukashenko daniela relph has this report. ‘violent and fraudulent regime'. starting university and the covid restrictions, student life in 2020 looks very different. the onus has been on individual universities to manage their outbreaks, but today donald trump and joe biden go head the education secretary responded to the situation to head tonight in the first us universities now face, which included an assurance presidential tv debate — and it could be lively. the president's on the back foot — after revelations in the new york about christmas. times about his business

losses and tax affairs. it's likely to come up. our washington correspondent, gary o'donoghue reports. students are important members of the communities the stage is almost set. they choose to study in. we expect them to follow the same guidance as those the actors are soon to be in place. same local communities. we are going to work with universities to make sure that all students are supported to return americans seem to get its first home safely and spend christmas head—to—head show in the battle for with their loved ones, the white house. if they choose to do so. the president has done across the uk, students little formal preparation, are isolating because of positive tests and looking for support from a university at which they have questioning his opponent's mental just arrived, or with flatmates they may have just met. it is quite scary because we are far capacity. from home, we are all away and not near our families. we have got to look after each calling him sleepy during going for further. other, look after ourselves, he was no winston churchill keep ourselves safe, in debating but he keep each other safe. was fine. make sure we are all happy people say he was on performance enhancing drugs. the former vice president's reaction to that? and not feeling down. he's almost... no, i have no comment. it was here in cleveland four years ago that donald trump was anointed as the it did worry me at first because i republican candidate for president. now, he finds himself knew we would have to isolate. trailing in the polls, it is not like we can go trailing in the swing states and being outspent by the out anywhere, we are democrats. just stuck in the flat. this debate is his chance to change

it was a bit of a weird scenario, the dynamics of this i don't really know how i could have election. the debate will cover six areas. reacted to something like that, among them, the supreme court and the controversy surrounding the but we are getting through it. filling of the vacant seat. if you are here to take a test... the university of east anglia is one of several that has set up its own testing facility. for many, this is the only way out also the handling of of repeated isolation for students. the covid pandemic and the integrity of the election, a favourite subject of the president. who has most to lose? it really does pivot around the test, track and trace working accurately. some people might think if it is working accurately it means the stakes are high for students can access some formal trump because he is doing face—to—face learning. well in the polls. i think the way that trump makes the problem is, and that is why up ground is by biden labour are calling for a pause looking back so... for students going to university, that says biden's performance is more important than chop's performance. is for them to be given the choice to access remote learning, because that simply is not in place at the moment and it desperately needs to be. —— van trompe's performance. these architecture students at oxford brookes university do most of their course online, with one day a week on campus. this has become the norm at many universities, but students have the right to speak trump showed four years ago he would break the up if they feel frustrated rules of such rights. with what is on offer. it's interesting that someone with the

students should have the right temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in this information and it should be clear to them how the course country. is going to be delivered. because you'd be injail. if students feel those whiteman during that expectations are not being met, campaign, he andjoe they have particular rights, —— during that campaign both young they can take it up joe biden demonstrated that she dislike for one another. with the university, they can take it up with the independent adjudicator as well. the press always ask me, don't i wish i were debating? no, i wish we were in high school, i could take on nothing is quite as it should be, many campuses look empty. behind the gym. he wants to bring me the days and weeks ahead to the back of the barn. for students will be 0h! disruptive and uncertain. some things in life, daniela relph, bbc news. you could really love doing. unlike previous debates, two contenders will not have a big audience to feed off with me is tizzie robinson—gordon, a first year student as as you are 60 people at the university of edinburgh will be in the awl itself. and seth shuttleworth, nevertheless, this moment will touch a student at manchester metropolitan university. tens of millions of americans and that all—important tiny group seth, i will start with you. seth, who haven't yet made up their minds. just explain what happened because you, ithink... how and you can follow the first us just explain what happened because you, i think... how many are in your presidential debate live in a special programme from 1.30am flat? the apartment you're using at the moment? there are 12 of us in on the bbc news channel and on the bbc news website — total and i think i'd have tested positive now. how long have you been or watch tomorrow on bbc iplayer.

in lockdown? we went into a quarantine on the 25th however my it's been announced that the emir of kuwait — sheikh sabah al— ahmad al—sabah — flat has already been isolating since the 20th anyway and the has died at the age of ninety—one. university has said that the council sheikh sabah had ruled kuwait have said we have to restart our since 2006 when he took power after his predecessor sheikh saad isolation period anyway so we will had to abdicate just days after his accession not —— now have to isolate for another 111 days. not —— now have to isolate for another14 days. explain. not —— now have to isolate for another 14 days. explain. this must for medical reasons. have happened as you arrive. more or less, yeah. we started... it was news started displaying symptoms as early as the 16th and i can get a nokia has struck a significant deal test until the 20th, then a few more with bt which makes it one of my flatmate started displaying of the winners from the 5g ban symptoms and all of our test came on the chinese firm huawei. the agreement makes back positive more or less so we've the finnish company bt‘s largest equipment provider, been isolating since the 20th supplying base stations and antennas to phone mast sites across the uk already and from the 25th we have to doa already and from the 25th we have to do a further 14 days. it all happened very quickly. fell people used by the new 5g mobile network. in the flat, five at the moment haven't been diagnosed as positive but it doesn't —— i2 haven't been diagnosed as positive but it doesn't —— 12 a new flat. but it doesn't take rocket science that have 12 live in the same place, it the human rights organisation does not look good for the others. amnesty international says it's been forced to halt operations in india — not at all, they are not able to get because of reprisal a test but they are displaying from the government. the organisation says rights

groups are being subjected symptoms so the majority of us, but to a witch—hunt by the indian state are the ones that have already had — and has had its back it, probably positive at this point. accounts frozen. the government has previously accused amnesty whiteman tizzy, i was going to turn of violating funding laws. police believe three young to you and hope for a better story brothers who were abducted by their father from their foster carer's home are now abroad — but you've already had a test, and are probably in mainland europe. haven't you? yes, i'm in a similar imran safi took the three boys from their foster home in coulsdon in surrey last month. situation. my flatmates are in a they believe the father has used similar situation. we all share the an illegal route to get the children out of the uk, exact same facilities, living close possibly in a lorry. education secretary gavin williamson proclamation to each other. i'm sure says the government will work with universities to make it's only a short matter of time. sure all students are supported that might close proximity to each to return home for christmas — if they choose to. other. we are all in self isolation, around 40 universities around the uk have had reports of coronavirus to come yes. because you tested cases and thousands of students are having to self—isolate — positive. what about food, supplies? right at the start of the new term. how are you coping? we are fortunate the university has started to put on our education correspondent daniela relph has this report. support mechanisms. whilst there is starting university and the covid restrictions, student life in 2020 a bit ofa support mechanisms. whilst there is a bit of a delay. they seem a bit looks very different. the onus has been on individual universities to manage their outbreaks, but today ad—hoc but we can get food the education secretary responded to the situation deliveries from the university. however, it is almost 2:30pm and universities now face, we've not had anything to the door yet. as my test was these —— this which included an assurance morning, we have a lot to keep us about christmas.

students are important going but if it is looking at 14 members of the communities they choose to study in. days, i'm sure the university will we expect them to follow have to up what they give us an the same guidance as those same local communities. similarto we are going to work have to up what they give us an similar to other students on my with universities to make sure that campus. seth, same question to you all students are supported to return home safely and spend christmas with their loved ones, because, with 12 people in one flat, how are you managing to cope in if they choose to do so. terms of supplies? we all know the problems in manchester and you're all presumably asking for deliveries at the same sort of time. that is one of the biggest issues. there are across the uk, students are isolating because of positive tests and looking for support 1700 students in lockdown and the university of the best they and got from a university at which they have just arrived, or with flatmates 45 slots day from the local asda but they may have just met. it is quite scary because we are far if you do the maths, the amount of from home, we are all away stu d e nts if you do the maths, the amount of students who will be able to get and not near our families. food is very, very slim and i we have got to look after each other, look after ourselves, imagine, as the days continue, it'll keep ourselves safe, get tougherfor keep each other safe. make sure we are all happy imagine, as the days continue, it'll get tougher for people because more people are testing. i think i and not feeling down. it did worry me at first because i suggested your test is positive but you're still waiting, aren't you?” knew we would have to isolate. am. whiteman even if it comes back negative, what does that mean? i've it is not like we can go out anywhere, we are just stuck in the flat. it was a bit of a weird scenario, still been in direct contact with i don't really know how i could have

someone who tested positive only a reacted to something like that, matter of days ago and, as per nhs but we are getting through it. guidelines, i believe that still if you are here to take a test... involve self isolation for a matter of days, regardless of whether my test was back negative. should we be able to be released from the self the university of east anglia is one isolation? all of our neighbours are of several that has set up its own testing facility. in the confines of our flats i for many, this is the only way out believe it's a matter of time before i'm densely reinfected if you like. of repeated isolation for students. it really does pivot it's quite literally spreading like around the test, track wildfire. you cannot miss people and trace working accurately. if it is working accurately it means because it's such a shared students can access some formal face—to—face learning. environment so i would hope not but the problem is, and that is why it is looking likely at some point labour are calling for a pause we would be in an isolation again. for students going to university, is for them to be given the choice you're in an apartment you're paying to access remote learning, for, you're starting a course you're because that simply is not in place paying for. i'm just wondering at the moment and it desperately needs to be. whether you think it's worth it. these architecture students at oxford brookes university do most of their course online, yes, exactly. i'm in university with one day a week on campus. provided accommodation. fortunately this has become the norm at many universities, paid for by my parents but despite but students have the right to speak up if they feel frustrated being promised hybrid learning, with what is on offer. everything is online which wasn't really revealed to us until 24 hours students should have the right information and it should be clear before moving on. everything i'm to them how the course

currently doing can be done entirely is going to be delivered. at home which, for me, is 400 miles if students feel those expectations are not being met, away so it wouldn't be easy for me they have particular rights, they can take it up to get home but, right now, is with the university, they can take it up with the independent looking like the most pragmatic thing to be doing. it's a lot less adjudicator as well. risky and, whilst that involves my family quarantine income it would re move family quarantine income it would remove me from this slightly anxious and frustrating situation. have you nothing is quite as it should be, ask them yet? i've got to ask nicely many campuses look empty. the days and weeks ahead for students will be disruptive and uncertain. daniela relph, bbc news. i think. seth, i wonder, now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. ask them yet? i've got to ask nicely ithink. seth, iwonder, with ask them yet? i've got to ask nicely i think. seth, i wonder, with you all on top of each other like this, after what has turned out to be a dry and sunny what is the effect on the mental day from many parts health of the group? yeah, it's not of the uk, the outlook for tomorrow great at all really. i was speaking is dramatically different, is a big area of low pressure roll sent to my mum earlier and she said all from the atlantic edible turned very wet and windy. one of her concerns is that people this evening, wind strengthening in the west, rain moving into northern ireland before midnight, western scotland, wales and the south—west by have worked so hard to get to where the end of the night. a milder night because they are but we do not know when of the strengthening south—westerly wind, you'll get out of this and it will that notice board throughout wednesday, rain particularly heavy and persistent through the morning have a massive effect on mental in the west, it may be a better health and we worry when we will be allowed to socialise. a lot of —looking morning across eastern england, but we will see heavy people were waiting for the city to be able to socialise and are excited showers in the afternoon from the south. brighterfor northern ireland later for the opportunities manchester would give them and now i've just on in the day but a cooler feel thanks to the wind and rain.

been watching effectively what is a we stay in cooler air as we head prison we are paying for and we do on into the weekend, not know when we all be allowed out thursday offering a respite from the wet and windy again. not the freshers' week you're weather but it is looking pretty stormy, especially to the latter expecting. yeah, you could say that. part of the weekend. i saw you were nodding away, tizzie, that it i saw you were nodding away, tizzie, thatitis i saw you were nodding away, tizzie, that it is the same for people across the country. the models were there in march and april. and everything has predicted this up to this point. there were calls over the summer by current students hello, this is bbc news. asking to be postponed. university the headlines. as more lockdown restrictions are introduced in parts of the uk — authorities had the ability to push the prime minister apologises back the start date of university and says he "mis—spoke" after getting details of new rules and they failed us. seth, dimension in the north east wrong. his error came as he outlined a—levels? have you had that to deal changes to the adult with this year as well? yeah, we had education system in england — with new training courses to help boost the post—covid economy. our a—levels and that all went wrong, and on top of that, they get change to central assessment and it will give anyone who left you've come to university and, without an a level or equivalent the within a matter of days, we are qualifications they need, confined and we are the ones being

when they need them to help people branded as a responsible and ijust to change jobs and find work think the government need to take in burgeoning new some responsibility for the fact sectors they sent 70,000 students into manchester city centre, provided no positions are testing and venturing that this country is creating. a virus spread is predicted anyway, driving home for christmas — they blamed us for it. it's just the government says it will ensure all students will be able to return for the festive break. madness. seth, what do you say to we are going to work people who say, come on, let be with universities to make sure that all students are supported to return home safely and spend christmas serious about this and let's go up a bit because we are all dealing in a with their loved ones pandemic, students like the rest of if they choose to do so. the country have to knuckle under just hours away: round one in the us and get on with it. yeah, i could presidential tv debate, agree with that. everyone is in the same boat which makes it a lot and is donald trump already easier but i think effectively it's on the ropes over his tax affairs? going to spread regardless of what eve ryo ne let's go to the bbc sport centre. going to spread regardless of what everyone does which is kind of the mentality motions are having at the minute. is it worth catching it to hello, simon. an agreement has been just have some form of a noble reached about fan attendance at this freshers? that's how a lot of people are feeling and it's up to people, weekend's fa cup fixtures. in a nutshell, they said that only home essentially, to do what they want to do but blaming us for doing what fa ns nutshell, they said that only home fans can be admitted to toys were a non—league club... our football

we've been told we can do just is not fair. the government are the ones being irresponsible, sending us reporter is here to explain all to all the only first race. tizzie, us. simon, what has been said? yes, gavin williamson saying we can all the fa are in a rather complicated go back for christmas if you want. seems a long way away, doesn't it? position because the sides in it does, especially when there are national leagues north and south who still not the signs to prove there is not the possibility of a third are entering the competition at this wave. we could be in a very similar stage, they are regarded as elite situation all over again. the and they fall into the realms of no government is my attitude of complacency towards us needs to be fans allowed and every match, in held to account. we need an answer as to whether we will now. ijust theory has got be played behind closed doors but many of them have think the government's attitude in been drawn in ties against a team general has ostracised students so from lower down in the competition i'm not suggesting there will be... and who are not elite. their fans but it would be a hard line not to are and who are not elite. their fans a re allowed and who are not elite. their fans are allowed in fa games and the fa get students home before christmas. have had to come up with a compromise on what they have decided crikey, is that on the cards? are you all that angry? there is is that if there are any national league north or south sides at home, definitely growing momentum and what their games will be behind closed everyone is forgetting is, despite doors no matter who they playing the frustrating and anxiety, there against. but the 19 sides who have isa the frustrating and anxiety, there is a growing camaraderie between us. we are in a unique time but you're been drawn away from home, and that making friendships while confined to includes york city whose game

against warrington is going to be a very small rooms. you're just entering this phase of lockdown that broadcast across various bbc seth has been going through. i do outlets, those games fans will be not know if you have any questions for him, any advice you want from him? many questions. in two weeks, i allowed, but not the fans of the national league teams. so, that might not be talking quite like means that those non—league clubs this. we will see what's to come. have got to organise that have got i've gotta say, looking at you, i to make sure that only home fans go get the sense of someone who's not going to put up with this much in and not the away fans. this has longer. yeah, not just going to put up with this much longer. yeah, notjust me. there is caused incredulity among sections of a communal sense of just the non—league fraternity many... longer. yeah, notjust me. there is a communal sense ofjust frustration and anger towards the government, purely because of notjust the way they are handling it, or should i some of the... one of the clubs but say not handling it, but the fact we a tweet out saying that because of are then being blamed for it by a lot of mainstream media because the coronavirus it understands the there will be one flat somewhere difference between step two in step that's hosting a flat party and then three fans that they are going to that's hosting a flat party and then thatis that's hosting a flat party and then that is it. we are immediately, my have do not allow dulwich hamlet label put on to us as a responsible fans into the games. some sarcasm once they came out and said we are the one spreading it and it's just there. it sums up what many clubs like, take some responsibility! you are feeling as many don't delete sent us to university! you have the figures. you knew this was going to that the —— a combat situation.

counter—productive. government for example whereby the mix in houses of another area is counter-productive. watch this pfa put cash in, with the government space. another question, from terry. it seems that bolton is the put cash in as well and help with forgotten town, pubs have been shut forgotten town, pubs have been shut for more than four weeks and all the the paye and not chasing for debts that have been built up? making rest are being the get a curfew. why are we being singled out? bolton has loa ns that have been built up? making loans available to them. the board of the national league, eglin's 50 had the highest number of football, is still to decide whether coronavirus infections right in the to start the season this weekend. country and cases there are still like the divisions above, no fans high, around 230 cases per 100,000 would be allowed in. the aldershot people. that does put it into the captain says the clubs are both hotspot areas and like terry says, desperate to start playing and two or three weeks ago bars and financial help. the contract is clu bs were two or three weeks ago bars and clubs were told to close to visitors due to those rising cases. since then, they have been openly been related to when the season starts, soi related to when the season starts, so i think i go for a lot of other able to operate as takeaway. terry is not the only one asking about players in this league, so financially we need to start, and i bolton. there is a petition that has think the clubs do as well, the been set up with people saying that clu bs think the clubs do as well, the restrictions need to come into line clubs need the season to start so with the rest of the country, but they can get things in place and get finances in place for the rest of has got 2000 signatures. there's been no response from government on the season. i feelthat that and no update on that. but that finances in place for the rest of the season. i feel that the premier league is in their own bubble, they

those rules are still in place for are! league is in their own bubble, they are 1 million miles away from where now. perhaps there will be an update we are, and i do not think they tomorrow. it is all a bit confusing for people. there are a lot of realise the financial situation that a lot of clubs lower down the different measures pending on where you live, there are different levels leagues might be in the. and of intervention. you have got areas something is little as, i don't know of intervention. you have got areas of intervention, areas of concern how much they could put towards it, and then you have strong guidelines but something so small would be a massive help to clubs done at the and then you have strong guidelines and you also have legally enforcea ble and you also have legally enforceable rules which is what is coming in the north—east tomorrow. national league level. premier league teams will be voting today on how the season would end if it next question from justin. a lot of cannot be completed because of the people are asking stories along these lines. can my kids to visit me pandemic. last season was concluded behind closed doors with liverpool under the new restrictions, their being crowned champions, jurgen mum and! under the new restrictions, their klopp's side maintained their one mum and i are no longer together? out to the season last night after this is causing a lot of problems for people. this should be fine. coming from a goal down to beat children of parents who are arsenal 3—1. essex has said there separated can continue to meet amongst households. the government clarified this a few months ago. trophy celebrations did not meet this has not changed in the current their inclusive values after a muslim player was sprayed with information on the website for the north—east, if that is where he alcohol. the player had reuploaded lives, it concerns that specific exemptions for this indoors

over him following sunday's victory household mixing can continue as you over him following sunday's victory over somerset. the club say they will educate and adversity by will have access to and between education needs to be done across children. but the children do not the sport and society. —— had beer live in the same household as pa rents a re live in the same household as parents are one of the parents. so poured over him. justin should be fine. good. now, let's return now to those lockdown restrictions in the north east of england. max gott is the co—owner this one from hamlin. can anyone and head chef at bistro 46. his restaurant in newcastle had nearly every booking for two weeks cancelled, explain, and this is a challenge, following the announcement of tighter restrictions in the city. can anyone explain why areas such as the north—east and visit the south west, while having strict lockdown is not been able to mix with others not happy, i suspect that is an in their home areas? thank you. 0k, understatement. no, it is not a nice so these areas of the north—east and thing to have everything or booking a ring up and they are very north—west of england have higher apologetic but at the same time levels of coronavirus infections having to do something that they are than elsewhere in the country, which is why the rules have been introduced in those areas. being told, it was guidelines, but they are trying to follow the rules, households mixing and try and reduce but it is sad for a business to the rise in cases. like i mentioned watch something like that fall away. at the start with carol's question, tell me what it actually means in terms of what you have to do, there are no legally enforceable travel restrictions so people can because there are staff as well as technically go in and out full stop

the customers, you have to expend however, it is strongly advise that what is going on, what is that like? you do not do this. you should really only travel if you live in these areas for essential reasons. we opened on minimal staff, we did not lose anyone but we did prior to now those examples are, going to and lockdown her students that were from work, getting food and medical part—timers that left, so we have supplies, supporting vulnerable to person, travelling to and from not rehired anyone, we have had to people in your support bubble, going sort of not hire anyone because i do not want to have the awkward to school or college, fulfilling conversation of, due to further legal obligations or seeking medical restriction, we do not have the care. so they can technically hours and the businesses not doing as well. we still currently run on legally travel outside, but the advice is to only do that for very minimal staff so busy night it essential reasons not for others. you may not get the warmest of welcomes when you arrive in the is hard, but every weekjust gets south—west if you travel from these harder with the lack of bookings, so areas. in me, i live in the we just cannot take on more staff. north—west and i am confused as to where i meet people in public venues very quickly, what does the future are not. let me try to find me a's safer those staff now you have those new enhancements? we are having to a nswer are not. let me try to find me a's diversified, we will open as a ta keaway diversified, we will open as a takeaway as well with a slightly answer here. different concept of what we currently do. that is the only way

we can go forward, limited bookings, limited time. it is hard because of —— mia mia's answer. because of the the fact that we are now trying to squeeze in bookings we can edge with a five hour window to have them out high number of cases there by10pm. a five hour window to have them out by 10pm. what do you make of the households should not be mixing in any indoor setting including pubs, restau ra nts a nd cafe. weight has been explained? we had a any indoor setting including pubs, government minister who could not restaurants and cafe. it is not legally enforceable in those areas like it will be from midnight in really a nswer a ny state government minister who could not really answer any state question what it meant. what you make of the parts of the north—east but it is weight has been handled? strongly advised not to. it is u nfortu nately between legally enforceable for houses not weight has been handled? unfortunately between media and how to be mixing in somebody else's home has been passed on by the government or private garden and they should that you get sort of the not be going to the pubs either. anticipation of what the world is this legally enforceable thing, if going to be and they do as we get it is not legally enforceable but the rules that come out, some are your neck warehouse we had lots of advised, and then they change the partying and people going in by advice to law and it makes it overly fives every five minutes, are you complicated. we have people asking still expected to what is supposed for advice and we have to seek the advice. it makes it so hard to to do's but depends on the operate that because you feel we do politician you might speak to and something wrong, it is our license, what they believe your duty is. you our livelihood that will come under might feel more comfortable knocking at the door and stepping a few fire. there is no... we need metres back or you may decide that clarification, this is what is you want to take further steps and happening, we cannot have this... report them. but that should not be

you could have a table of six that happening in households in the north—west as they should not be is to households but now it would be mixing inside or in private gardens. against law after midnight, so we that is legally enforceable. they are also strongly advised not to be just need clarification. it must be doing it in pubs and restaurants and cafe is and that sort of thing. difficult to explain to your customers. do any of them get a bit however, there is another however here, you can go into a pub garden angry with you when you triad explain they cannot do what they for as long as you are outside and wa nt to you have got that rule six but you explain they cannot do what they want to do? to be honest, our customers are very good, are strongly advised not to mix want to do? to be honest, our customers are very good, we want to do? to be honest, our customers are very good, we have a lot of regulars who are very households there either. but that is not legally enforceable. that was a understanding but we have a few situations where on saturday we had question the prime minister had a table that were from two separate difficulty with. this one from households, that is part of the advice, other customers did not david. i live alone, i visit my appreciate the fact that they were sitting there, they were in the social club for a couple of points. cani right, doing nothing wrong, but some social club for a couple of points. can i still do that? it depends where he lives and who he is going of the table—side cancelled because they believed they would be breaking with. if he lives in the north east, they believed they would be breaking the rules. there was not any from tomorrow, it is illegalfor animosity directly, but you feel separate households to meet in those indoor social settings, like pubs or that there was a feud looks of, should you be together? should you not come out when you have separate social clubs. he could go there on his own and have a pint and households? you have had a bit of a presumably there would be other

handful because you have just had a people within their as well but he baby as well. yes, a three-year-old has not gone there to mix with them, they should be social guidelines. he i know a seven—month—old, so at the is allowed to leave his house and he start of lockdown, so it is cannot —— mackie doesn't have to stop going out. it is basically to definitely a little bit of extra pressure. it is a year you will not stop going out. it is basically to stop people from going out. he can forget. it is good of you to talk to is about it. thanks very much. sit and have a drink on his own. but i have been doing for years. peace for people struggling to get on the property ladder, the climb has just got steeper. banks hsbc, santander, and quiet. i am not going to go and lloyds have temporarily pulled mortgages with 10% deposits for new customers. some lenders have also said there. gordon asks if churches -- they would not currently consider applications from people on furlough. our consumer affairs correspondent gordon asks if churches are exempt. sarah corker reports. let say what these public venues during lockdown, more people decided we re let say what these public venues were socialising is not meant to be to swap the city for the suburbs going on. we have got pubs, and escape to the country for bigger homes and green spaces. restau ra nts, but some of britain's biggest going on. we have got pubs, restaurants, cafe is, shops places banks have shut the door of worship and entertainment venues on first—time buyers. and visitor attraction. so, yes, it does include places of worship. however, you may go to a mosque, it's like the goalposts just keep moving away from us. claire and ricky have church, synagogue or temple, or any been saving hard to buy other place of worship and you can theirfirst home in cheshire.

still attend those services but you need to socially distance from rule it was almost within reach, but then the pandemic hit and mortgages for those with 5% and 10% deposits began to disappear. theyjust keep on making it more and more difficult, and it'sjust not fair on people, because you are spending years and years of your life putting away money for a house that you can't have full another five years. saving a 15% deposit isjust... unless you started when you're, like, 18, itjust takes a long, long time to be able to even come up with the money for that. first—time buyers have been hit by a mini credit crunch. back in march there were more than 700 mortgage deals for those with a 10% deposit. those deals, though, have been vanishing fast. now there are just 45. and some lenders have been restricting how much your family can help when you're getting together a deposit, barring some borrowers from using the so—called bank of mum and dad. the first time buyers

are hit the hardest, they are seen as high risk. mortgage brokers say banks are less likely to lend to those working in sectors like retail and hospitality, hit hardest by the pandemic. what was a given isn't now, it like every case is bespoke, and that 10% the chances are very... unless you're a doctor all, you know, a key worker on good income, it's very, very difficult to get one. i've just been feeling a bit defeated... for those who do manage to find a mortgage with a small deposit, it's also getting more expensive to borrow, something brittany and her partner tom found out. we are looking at a good £200 per calendar month more than what we would have expected to pay in, say, january or february time. so, yeah, just really high rates for no reason, it's not like it's a shorter term mortgage, it'sjust because of the interest rates. in these uncertain economic times,

lenders say they've needed to take a more cautious approach and have a duty to lend responsibly. first—time buyers now have to stump up even more to get on the ladder. sarah corker, bbc news, in cheshire. nokia has struck a significant deal with bt which makes it one of the winners from the 5g ban on the chinese firm huawei. the agreement makes the finnish company bt‘s largest equipment provider, supplying base stations and antennas to phone mast sites across the uk used by the new 5g mobile network. the human rights organisation amnesty international says it's been forced to halt operations in india because of reprisal from the government. the organisation says rights groups are being subjected to a witch hunt by the indian state and has had its back accounts frozen. —— bank accounts. the government has previously accused amnesty of violating funding laws. police believe three young brothers who were abducted by their father from their foster

carer's home are now abroad and are probably in mainland europe. imran safi took the three boys from their foster home in coulsdon in surrey last month. they believe the father has used an illegal route to get the children out of the uk, possibly in a lorry. the headlines on bbc news... as more lockdown restrictions are introduced in parts of the uk, the prime minister apologises and says he "mis—spoke" over new restrictions in the north east. meanwhile boris johnson has promised "radical" changes to the education system, with training courses in england to help boost the post—covid economy. the education secretary says he'll work with universities to ensure all students in england can go home for christmas if they choose to. sir david attenborough said yesterday his hopes for the future lie in the hands of children. so we've asked some young attenborough fans to put their best questions to the man himself. let's take a look.

hi, david. i would like to know what's your favourite places, and how they've changed? my favourite place was a woodland in the middle of england, in lincolnshire. and it had rocks around it which were full of fossils. wonderful things, shells, some of them big ones. and sometimes you could hit a rock — sometimes they were sitting out there and you just turned over the rock and there it was. and it was — you were the first person ever to see that. and it hadn't seen the sun for maybe 150 million years. think about that! hi, my name's elliott and i am six years old and i have a question. what is your favourite dinosaur? well, elliott, there was a huge animal that flew over the dinosaurs, as big as a small aeroplane, called quetzalcoatlus. and it had huge wings,

just as big as an aeroplane. and it was the biggest animal that everflew, and none of us could work out how it got off the ground, because how do you beat the wings? it's a mystery. hello, david. my name is anais and i'm three years old. what's your favourite animal? i don't really have a favourite animal, to be truthful. but there is a fish i am very fond of called — um, what's it called now? it's called the weedy sea dragon, and it lives in the seas off south australia and its fins look exactly like bits of seaweed. hi, my name is harry and i'm 11 years old and i want to work in zoology, but with the current climate crisis, i would like to know if there will be any animals left in the world to study. there will certainly be enough

animals individually. there won't be as many different animals as we have now. i can be pretty sure of that. but we need to study them, we need to know all we can about them in order to protect them and help them, so i hope you do go to university and you do study zoology and you do help in the struggle to care for nature. i am william and i'm four years old. who do you think would win out of a lion, hippopotamus and a rhino? well, it would depend whether they were in the river or not, wouldn't they? if they were in the river it would be the hippopotamus. if they were on land, i think it would be the lion. but i'm not sure, actually, because a hippopotamus is very big, you know, it weighs much more than a lion. so if it rolled over, and it got the wild lion underneath it, the lion wouldn't like that very much.

hi, david. my name is called evie, and i'm four years old. what's the biggest spider ever in the whole wide world? and my mummy doesn't like spiders. well, i can see why your mummy doesn't like spiders, though there are none in this country that bite you. there's one, certainly in south america, which is as big as your hand, really. and very hairy legs. and you don't want to mess with that, because that one does have a nasty bite. it looks likes something out ofjames bond, doensn't it, but if you're trapped

at the top of a steep hill with a severe injury — or having just had a heart attack — this jet—pack paramedic could be the difference between life and death. a trek in the lake district which could take half an hour can now be done in 90 seconds. sharon barbour has the story. it was one man's dream to fly, and an emergency service's desperation to reach critically ill patients much quicker, that's led to this. it looks likes something out ofjames bond, doensn't it, you know, we're not talking about big distances. but we're talking about steep gradients, and that's the difference. you know, personal experience of carrying medical kit up the side of a mountain in the lakes to get to someone having a heart attack is. .. it's so difficult. you know, we're fairly confident that with a rapid response car and a jet suit, we're going to really reduce response times in the area. this is obviously a real seachange in potentially how we can deliver remote medicine. the jetpack can fly for around five minutes, but this flight in the langdale pikes tookjust 90 seconds to reach the location, a journey that would have taken around 25 minutes on foot.

if somebody had a cardiac arrest on the top of helvellyn, and we were able to deploy thejet suit, i'm confident we would have a defib on that patient within eight minutes. and, right now, how long would it take? right now, our aircraft would probably be the first on scene, obviously, and that might take maybe 20—25 minutes. you know, we're not talking about big distances. richard browning was wearing the jet suit he invented to show the ambulance service how it worked. so, the jet suits, in fact you've got a couple sitting behind here, they work by using microjet engines. so pretty much the same things that you have on a jet aircraft, a jetliner. there's two on each arm, one on the back, and the way that they then blow so much air downwards allows you to lift off the ground. and then all the manoeuvrability is down to you using your own natural human balance and co—ordination. if you point them increasingly downwards, you go up. and as you flare them out, you come down again. the great north air ambulance service is now in talks to make

modifications to the jet suit, with the hope of sending a paramedic up to reach their first patients by next summer. sharon barbour, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. after a large swathe of people enjoying dry weather, it is different tomorrow. where and when do you pretty much across—the—board. when was that a back—up even through this evening towards the west of the uk. reg of high approach as kept as fine today about this area of low pressure is what is coming into play for wednesday. in a neck few hours the wind will start to strengthen in the wind will start to strengthen in the west, through the evening the cloud will move into northern ireland followed by the rangers before midnight and the rain will work its way into western scotland, cumbria, lancashire, wales and the south—west of england by the end of

the night. mild are night thanks to the night. mild are night thanks to the strengthening south—west went and mel diana being pulled in around the area of low pressure. with the wind and rain around on wednesday, it will feel chilly, rainy heavy and persistent above the western side of the uk, perhaps try in the east through the afternoon but then we are looking at heavy intense downpours pushing up from the south. temperatures 12—13 for scotland, 14 for northern ireland, 17 in the south—east of england, but it will feel cooler takes to the wind and rain. this set of weather fronts pulling eastwards overnight into thursday, a little reg of high—pressure that for thursday offers are as something more promising in terms of dry and sunny weather, but later in the day there will be heavy showers starting to push in from the west. if anything just a blip in the bigger picture is the area of low pressure that will dominate our weatherfor

the area of low pressure that will dominate our weather for the next you days. the area of low pressure has a view centres that roll around each other and we come up with a different solution as to where it places the heaviest of the rain and the strongest of the wind through friday, saturday and sunday, but there is sunday, a bull's—eye in the pressure chart, the outlook for the end of the week is very wet and windy. it will feel chilly as well. at the moment exit if sunday will be the windiest of the days, current thinking has the strongest wind to the south but that is subject to change as we go from bad run to model run. as you can see, no question, our outlook looks u nsettled. 00:58:51,017 --> 2147483052:06:10,223 you very much and we wish you a lot 2147483052:06:10,223 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 of luck.
