preceded by "a moment of silence" in his honour. that's all the sport for now. head over to the bbc sport website for the latest from the third round of the scottish open. world number one judd trump is in action this afternoon. more from me in the next hour. i'mjane i'm jane hill, taking i'mjane hill, taking you through brexit and coronavirus news and we will be talking more about brexit in a moment but i'm bringing some news coming in from liverpool in the last four minutes and we've had a statement through from joe anderson, the mayor of liverpool to say that he is standing aside. that's the phrase he is using. he was arrested

last wait on suspicion of conspiracy to commit bribery and he's just released a statement this lunchtime saying that he is, as he puts it, stepping away from decision—making via a period of unpaid leave. he's taking unpaid leave until the police make clear their intentions in his investigation, which is expected on the 31st of december. he says on that date, or once the police have made that clearer, he will make a statement. he makes a lengthy statement. he makes a lengthy statement. he makes a lengthy statement. he says, he hopes people 110w statement. he says, he hopes people now in liverpool that it's important for the leaders to think of the people and how the pandemic is affecting their lives. he says wendy simon will act as mayor for now.

we'll now turn to brexit. the european commission has published contingency plans to ensure planes and lorries can keep moving between the eu and the uk, in the event that talks on a post—brexit deal collapse. it's also suggested a one year extension for fishing access which it says will protect coastal communities on both sides of the channel. the irish foreign affairs minister simon coveney says there is an increasing pessimism and frustration from the european union about the possibility of a deal. he was speaking to my colleague lucy hockings a little earlier today. clearly there had been hopes that the dinner last night would have resulted in at least a suggestion of a breakthrough but that clearly hasn't happened and, so, instead, what they've done is ask their

negotiating teams to re—engage but they've also said for the first time, seta they've also said for the first time, set a very definitive timeline and had said there needs to be clarity. so, we have a couple of days now to find a way of closing gaps that are quite big in the context of the differences between the two sides and there is increasing pessimism within the european union, but also increasing frustration that it has come to this. the eu's session has been consistent and clear for the last 12 months, certainly since the withdrawal agreement had been agreed. and the insistence on the eu side that there has to be free but fair competition between these two big economies is something that is not new. this morning your counterpart, dominic rabi, said that the key stumbling blocks with a fair

position, and the eu has hardened its position in recent days. do you disagree with him? i don't nowhere he's coming from on that. year ago, both sides agreed in writing in a political declaration that they had to be an agreement on a level playing field in their competition between the eu and the uk, if they we re between the eu and the uk, if they were going to put a trade agreement in place without quotas or tariffs. so, unfortunately, the british side is saying this is undermining british sovereignty which isn't the case at all. the eu recognises, that the uk outside of the eu, is a sovereign country. they respect that but if you are going to have free trade in the absence of tariffs, putting two economies right next doorto putting two economies right next door to each other, it's not unreasonable to ask for what has already been agreed in principle, which is that there would be a level playing field for fair competition

and in the future. that is all the eu is looking for and for some reason, the british government sees that as an undermining of british sovereignty and decisions that a future government may not be able to make. it's very clear, if you want to trade tariffs — free, with the free trade agreement with the eu and its single market then there needs to be fair competition between both sides and that is nothing new. it's something the eu has insisted on the many something the eu has insisted on the any something the eu has insisted on the many many months now. has it come down to... it dystopia that the uk wa nts to down to... it dystopia that the uk wants to do things it will never do, the eu wants to protect itself and things that might never come. agreement of principle between both sides? not only eu side. it's the opposite, actually. it's about the detail, protecting the integrity of the single market that all the

members of the eu and its market. we wa nt members of the eu and its market. we want to have a close partnership with an independent sovereign united kingdom, outside of the european union, but that has to happen under certain conditions and this is what the negotiation is about and nothing else. it's about free and fair competition so that in the future, british and eu companies can trade with each other, barrier and tariff free, on the basis of the same approach to their competition and thatis approach to their competition and that is a principle, but it's also a detail that needs to be part of any agreement, but, unfortunately, this isa agreement, but, unfortunately, this is a lot more than this trade agreement. we are looking for a future relationship agreement, not just a trade agreement which involves anything from facilitation around aviation, services, financial services and banking, security cooperation, judicial cooperation, you know, so fishing, which has been

a very contentious issue. this is about ensuring that there is a framework for a basis for a future relationship based on positivity and cooperation between an independent united kingdom and european union as a close neighbour. unfortunately, if we don't get an agreement here then what will happen is the opposite. it will turn into a blame game and the acrimony around failure well i think make the relationship moving into next year much more difficult than it needs to be which will lead to an awful lot of disruption which is unnecessary unless we can find a way forward in these negotiations. do you trust or believe that boris johnson wants a deal by sunday?” you trust or believe that boris johnson wants a deal by sunday? i do believe he does. i have a good relationship with some of his ministers and! relationship with some of his ministers and i do believe that the prime minister wants a deal. i think it makes sense for britain. it certainly makes sense for ireland. the absence of a deal means a lot of

unnecessary cost, the absence of a deal means a lot of unnecessary cost, disruption and political tension at a time when the eu and the uk need to be working together in so many areas, from coronavirus, climate change, political development, so many areas. how do you even begin to do that when there is now so much acrimony between the two sides and a lack of trust? well, look, before a complex deal is concluded and don't forget we have been negotiating now forget we have been negotiating now for four and forget we have been negotiating now forfourand a forget we have been negotiating now for four and a half years since the british people decided they wanted to leave the european union, so a deal of this complexity will never be easy to close out, particularly on sensitive issues such as fishing which is very politically motivated, perceptions around sovereignty. the eu hasa perceptions around sovereignty. the eu has a different perspective on

fishing but it equally strongly held and on the sense of integrity and fair competition at the single market. sensitive issues, huge issues that are linked to fair trade and future prosperity within the eu. ireland's foreign affairs minister there. now on bbc news — another chance to see your questions answered — with my colleague rebecca jones. you've been sending in your questions on the coronavirus vaccine, and here to answer them is dr bharat pankhania from the university of exeter medical school and professor stephen evans from the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine. welcome to you both. we are delighted you are here, because we have had a lot

of questions, so let's get straight to it. dr pankhania, i'm going to start with you. this is a question from aaron george who is in leeds. why should i have the vaccine if i am not worried about covid and, indeed, if other people are having the vaccine? well, aaron, the point of having the vaccine is that it provides protection for you, but if it doesn't provide protection for you because you don't want to have the vaccine, remember you could become a case. and if you are a case you may infect people who are your family members, your relatives, your friends and other people. and therefore, it is better to protect yourself, this is very important, because you don't know what your situation will be like in two, three, four, five years' time. protection is always good, and also, you can feel assured that you are not going to get infected and not going to affect other people. infect other people. that is the important bit. professor evans, a question from an in nottingham, she wants from anne in nottingham, she wants

to know would being vaccinated ensure it doesn't transmit the virus to other people? thank you very much. really good question. when we say ensure, the answer is no. reduce the likelihood, the answer is almost undoubtedly yes. it's very difficult to measure the transmission to other people and so the best we can do is measure the virus levels and those who have been vaccinated and in the pfizer trials they have only measured the virus levels in those who have symptoms. in the oxford astrazeneca trials they measured asymptomatic people and it was clear there was reduction in the virus level in those who are asymptomatic. so, the answer is, it will reduce the transmission but it won't make it zero. so it doesn't mean we can get rid

of the distancing and masks, even if people have been vaccinated, ourselves and those around us. very interesting. dr pankhania, andy from sheffield wants to know is it safe to have the vaccine if you have epilepsy? a very specific question there. i think so. my answer to andy is there is no reason why that vaccine, the mrna one that has been licensed, will interfere with his epilepsy medication or his epilepsy. talking empirically, i would say yes. it's better when you are having a vaccine is to have this conversation at that point as well. professor evans, richard wants to know how safe the vaccine is. i know this is a question that is occupying the minds of a lot of people because he says the mhra appeared to miss a very obvious exception for taking the vaccine and he asks what else might

have been missed ? again, really good question, richard. i don't know that it is certain that the mhra missed this. we ought to say what it is. what it is is that allergic reactions have occurred in two health care workers, as we understand it, who had a history of having very severe allergic reactions. now, the information given to professionals and patients was that those with hypersensitivity to any of the constituents should not be given the vaccine. now, in some senses that is not very helpful because people don't know if they're hypersensitive to that so you could argue that the mhra

failed to warn that people who have ahistory hypersensitivity, really severe allergic reactions should not have the vaccine. we didn't know that beforehand and that's white's important we monitor the safety of this vaccine, once it's out there in the real world. we do the best we can but there will be people who were not in the trials who we will vaccinate because we want to protect them and it means that there will be things, most of them will be coincidence rather than actually caused by the vaccine, but there will be some things that could be caused by the vaccine that we don't know about, because they are rare. so we have to monitor it. and, in the uk, we are doing a phenomenaljob that the records of people who getting vaccinated are getting back into the gp records and we are going to be able to follow them up. so, when we say is it safe? well, how many health care workers have died because of covid?

really sad for the two people who have had these nasty reactions, but they were prepared for it and it's part of the reason why you have to wait 15 minutes or so after getting the vaccine to ensure that you are doing ok. all vaccines, you are warned, whenever you are given an injection, to be careful about these kinds of allergic reactions. but they occur rapidly and there is help on hand to be able to deal with the consequences. so, yes, i think that the balance of benefit to harm is very clearly still in favour of having the vaccine. it's annoying in some senses that the world of euphoria for the world of euphoria that these have happened, but, at the same time, it's good that we have learned about them. it is not hidden away and we know how to advise people to delay

at least until we know the cause of these allergic reactions. it is worth saying that the mhra is the regulatory authority. now, a question from richard griffiths in warsall. if a person is vaccinated whilst they have the virus, could the autoimmune response be affected? we have no evidence that that is the case. what richard is asking is, will the immunisation then give me extra trouble with my autoimmune system acting against my other organs? we have no evidence for this. this is another reason why, when we get the vaccine, the dose is very carefully monitored, meaning the right amount to induce the right amount of immunity without hype stimulating the immune system, so while there is no

evidence that this has happened, we are still very cautious about giving the right dose in order to only create immunity and an immune response. professor evans, susan kavanagh from chillingham wants to know from gillingham wants to know how do scientists know that the vaccine will not react badly or perhaps even more pertinently reduce the effectiveness of other medications someone might be taking? good question. we do not know the certain whether this will be so. however, our previous experience with vaccines and our knowledge about how they work suggests that any possible interaction with ordinary medicines that you take will be almost entirely absent, or probably entirely absent. when you get interactions

with drugs, don't forget the drugs are being taken day after day after day and the effect of two different drugs can be that they interact. with a vaccine, you are given it twice and the effects in terms of something on the drug is short—term. what is happening is is that the vaccine is training your immune system to itself respond to the incoming virus when you are exposed to it. so, you train your immune system to be able to fight off that virus and that training is a rather different process to the ones that we have the drugs. what is happening is is that the vaccine is training your immune system to itself respond to the incoming virus when you are exposed to it. so, you train your immune system to be able to fight off that virus and that training is a rather different process to the ones that we have the drugs. now, it's possible that some drugs that affect the immune system, so—called immunosuppressa nts, may end up giving a reduced response for the vaccine, and that is certainly a possibility

and there are warnings that that could be so. so, unfortunately the people who have immuno—compromised systems who may be at risk may also have reduced efficacy for this vaccine. debra from london has a simple question. do blood types make a difference to the taking of the vaccine? in answer to debra, no, there is no evidence that one blood type performs better than another. my answer to all people who are worried about this is to say, look, the vaccine has shown to be effective in a wide range of groups of people and there is no reason to think that one blood group performs better than the other. unfortunately, gentlemen, we've run out of time, which is a real same because we've got a lot of other

really good questions, but we got through quite a lot. thank you both. dr bharat pankhania from the university of exeter medical school. professor stephen evans from the london school of hygiene and medicine, always a joy to have you on bbc news with us. well, it's going to stay pretty grey across the uk this afternoon. there's a chance of little bit of sunshine hear and there but also, notan not an especially cold night that this year and then into tomorrow,

this year and then into tomorrow, this band of rain to start off across this band of rain to start off a cross m ost this band of rain to start off across most areas. eastern scotland, with this south—easterly flow coming off the north sea will see some quite persistent rain through the day. further west, brightness, quite persistent rain through the day. furtherwest, brightness, a quite persistent rain through the day. further west, brightness, a lot of cloud and some showers which will be heavy. 11 degrees for london, cardiff and plymouth. further north, highs of 7—8 c. towards the weekend, saturday promises something a little brighter. heavy rain and strong winds for sunday. this is bbc news. the headlines: the eu lays out plans to keep road and air travel running with the uk — in case there's no brexit deal. both sides say they will keep negotiating until sunday. it is difficult. we are willing to grant access to the single market to our british friends. it's the largest single market in the world, but the conditions

have to be fair. we are going to leave no stone unturned. we work like a deal if possible but we are not going to sacrifice the basic rights of democratic
