and again, these trade groups have said that this isn't the case because there haven't been similar falls in britton's trade with non—eu countries. so i think this is really reflecting and bound up with britain leaving the eu officially, and these conservative concerns and already a precarious economy will be wearing for people to worry about the ongoing impacts of this. i for people to worry about the ongoing impacts of this. i think the government _ ongoing impacts of this. i think the government would _ ongoing impacts of this. i think the government would say _ ongoing impacts of this. i think the government would say that - ongoing impacts of this. i think the government would say that this - ongoing impacts of this. i think the government would say that this is. government would say that this is covid _ government would say that this is covid or— government would say that this is covid or people stockpiled already. i find _ covid or people stockpiled already. i find that — covid or people stockpiled already. i find that slightly difficult to believe when the numbers are what they are, _ believe when the numbers are what they are, and this is —— you're hearing — they are, and this is —— you're hearing this _ they are, and this is —— you're hearing this directly from the hall years— hearing this directly from the hall years and — hearing this directly from the hall years and people transporting goods. the other— years and people transporting goods. the other issue seems to be the flow is hot _ the other issue seems to be the flow is not being _ the other issue seems to be the flow is not being impacted for lorries, but what's — is not being impacted for lorries, but what's on them, and some of them are just _ but what's on them, and some of them are just empty. when you are in a

actually those talks with the trade officials hasn't happened yet. so i guess it would make sense of the government would play this up, not least given these sort of issues around exports that we've seen over the past few months. but i would say on this one, we really need to wait and see until something really materialises and exactly what that would mean, then really picking over the specifics of what that means in the specifics of what that means in the uk and what that looks like. there was lots of caution initially when we were starting to think of the uk's relationship with the biden administration when it came to a trade deal. administration when it came to a trade deal-— administration when it came to a trade deal. there was, and there were questions _ trade deal. there was, and there were questions around _ trade deal. there was, and there were questions around personall were questions around personal chemistry— were questions around personal chemistry between people now in number— chemistry between people now in number ten chemistry between people now in numberten and the chemistry between people now in number ten and the white house, and the points— number ten and the white house, and the points on the ground. and i think— the points on the ground. and i think you'll see already the government championing climate change. — government championing climate change, one of the issues that they actually— change, one of the issues that they actually can work with the americans on, actually can work with the americans on. hationai— actually can work with the americans on, national security will be another— on, national security will be another one. so the government is looking _ another one. so the government is looking for— another one. so the government is looking for ways to really connect

and britton's stockpiles increasing, as well as concerns around talking seriously about disarmament. but this also suggests, i sometimes question priorities and how we would term safety and protecting ourselves and people around the world, because if you compare this with the government's climate investment in the climate crisis and the investment it will do to beat this net debt to reach this net zero target it set for itself, they've invested £12 billion when experts say that's not enough, and we would need around £400 billion for that to really be reached. so you look at some of these figures like this with this £80 billion upgrade for the military, and compare that with the seriousness that we are facing with the climate crisis now. and i raise an eyebrow and there in terms of how we are understanding what is safety and threat. ~ �* ., ., and threat. we've run out of time, but we will — and threat. we've run out of time, but we will be _ and threat. we've run out of time, but we will be back _ and threat. we've run out of time,

for the past decade, british cycling has enjoyed unprecedented success, dominating on both the road and track. for much of that time, richard freeman was the sport's top doctor, but two years after his medical tribunal began, today came the verdict cycling had dreaded. the panel said he had ordered testosterone, the sport's doping drug of choice, his conduct incapable of innocent explanation. the big question is, who was the testosterone, which rider was it ordered for? it's seriously damaging. i'm not sure how british cycling and the sport can recover. the reputation of the sport in terms of management and governance is in tatters. the saga began in 2011 when freeman ordered testogel from a local supplier to the sport's h0. six years later, having already left team sky, the medic resigned from british cycling. in 2019, he admitted to 18 gmc charges, including initially

lying to uk anti—doping, and last month, he was charged by the agency with two anti—doping rule violations. freeman told the tribunal he ordered the drug to treat the erectile dysfunction of this man, former british cycling technical director shane sutton, who denied the claim. ijust think it casts a shadow over, you know, great athletes, and, you know, there's not many i'd stick my hand in the fire for, but you know, all these guys i worked with, you know, i maintain that, you know, under brailsford, we were running the cleanest programme in the world. and itjust saddens me to think that this is now going to be an ongoing investigation. back in 2018, freeman told me he would clear his name. i can clear everything up but at the moment, i am under investigation about my medicines management policy by the general medical council, and therefore, i am not at liberty, at the present time, due to respect for them, not to talk about it. but no wrongdoing? no wrongdoing. but today, a man who, for years, worked closely with some

of the biggest names in british sport, tour de france winner sir bradley wiggins and team boss sir dave brailsford amongst them, was told his explanation was implausible. british cycling said today's seismic verdict was "extremely disturbing" but insisted that they had reformed since the days when freeman worked here. but this is the gravest blow to date to the reputation of one of the country's most successful and best funded 0lympic sports, and it leaves a series of unanswered questions. which rider was involved ? and who else knew? today, brailsford's team ineos, which replaced team sky two years ago, said it did not believe any athlete ever used or sought to use the testosterone. but the sport's attempt to move on from this scandaljust got harder. dan roan, bbc news. after the diappointing end to their test series. england showed just why they're the world's best in white ball cricket, producing an emphatic eight wicket victory in the first twenty with india in ahmedabad. it was underpinned by some impressive performances

with both bat and ball — as andy swiss reports. after being walloped in the test series, now with england's term to do the walloping. the most emphatic of wins set up earlier by some brilliant bowling. jofra archer led the way. when india's captain held out for not, the home fans faces set at all. they briefly got something to cheer — this remarkable six from the remarkable rishabh pant. otherwise, it was all about england's near flawless in the field. they clung on to every catch — and despite a half—century, they restricted india to a mere 124. it didn't look enough, and england's openers soon made sure it wasn't. joss buttler gave the crowd some serious practice. before long, india's hopes advantaged in a blaze of boundaries. —— had vanished.

england cruising to victory and as the world's top—ranked t20 team, this was some statement. andy swiss, bbc news. it was a dramatic end at stjames park in the premier league where newcastle united salvaged a late point against aston villa. 0llie watkins header was deflected into his own net by cieran clark, as villa thought they'd won it with four minutes to go. jamal lacelles header in the fourth minute of stoppage time pushes newcastle a further point clear of the relegation zone. villa stay ninth. in the championship, brentford are back up to second in the championship after a tight 1—0 win over blackburn. the bees had lost four of their last six going into the game at ewood park but ivan toney�*s tenth minute penalty proved the difference. watford and swansea can go back above them tomorrow. bristol extended their lead at the top of the premiership with an imprssive victory over wasps. despite a number of injuries they won by 37—20, chris vui forcing his way over

here to secure the bonus point, one of four tries on the night — much to the delight of pat lam. fourth choice fly half tiff eden converted all of them and added three more penalties as wasps crashed to a sixth defeat in their last seven matches. glasgow beat 0spreys in the pro 14, 30—25, both sides ran in three tries each. there were wins for munster and leinster in tonight's other games. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. it's been a pretty changeable story over the last couple of days with sunny spells and scattered sharp showers. that means that we've had a plethora of weather watcher rainbow photographs sent in. this is one of my favourite from loose in kent this afternoon. now, the showers really

have been quite frequent the further north and west, and we've seen some wintriness to the tops of the mountains. but we have seen some sun moving through wales across the channel coast and into kent as well. the story through this evening, we'll actually see more wet weather as we see a weather front pushing its way steadily eastwards. that's going to enhance those showers, so longer spells of rain and still plenty of isobars with it. still a very windy night to come. now, where we've got some clearer skies in the far north of scotland, here temperatures perhaps low enough for a touch of light frost in sheltered rural areas, and still, with temperatures close to freezing, those showers here falling as snow. but elsewhere, we start off with sunny spells, scattered showers once again. most frequent showers the further west you are, and they will drift a little but further inland accompanied by a brisk westerly wind. in terms of the feel of things, highs of 7—10 celsius by the middle of the afternoon. moving out of saturday into sunday, we see an area of low pressure is still influencing the story as high—pressure is trying to build in from the southwest. this weather front toppling across that high, still producing more wet weather to come. so that means some rain once,

again into northern ireland, gradually pushing its way into western scotland, northwest england and wales. but a relatively dry start for many on sunday, and in eastern areas, it should stay largely dry through much of the day. the winds will ease just a touch as well, and in the sunshine, 11 celsius should feel relatively pleasant, but unfortunately, the wet weather will sit out to the west. things are likely to change, though, into next week, as that high—pressure continues to build in from the west, quieting the weather story down, and that will come as welcome news, i suspect. so, there is the potential for some clearer skies to see some early frost, nothing too significant, but certainly worth bearing in mind if you're a gardener or a grower. but as we look ahead, largely fine and dry, on the cool side for the time of year, but some sunny spells to look forward to.
