now on bbc news — monday in parliament. hello and welcome to monday in parliament. the commons united, mps show football's breakaway clubs the red card. we will not stand by and watch football be cravenly stripped of the things that make millions across the country love it. we're in a global pandemic and the owners of the six clubs behind this proposal think that now is the time? now is the time to ride roughshod over their fans. also in this programme — borisjohnson cancels his visit to india as the country is added to the uk's red list. can he explain contrary to his previous answer why india wasn't put on a red list ten days ago when other

countries were? but first... the culture secretary has said the government will do "whatever it takes" to prevent english football clubs joining a breakaway european super league. oliver dowden said ministers were reviewing everything the government does to support clubs to play and examining every option from governance reform to competition law. six english clubs, including manchester united, arsenal, and liverpool, have signed up to the new league despite opposition from the game's governing bodies. oliver dowden, who said he'd already talked to football authorities, announced that a long promised review of football would now begin. he told mps he was appalled by the plans which went against "the very spirit of the game". this is a sport where a team like leicester city can ascend from league i to the premier league title in under a decade, earning the right to go toe

to toe against european heavyweights in the champions league. instead, a small handful of owners want to create a closed shop of elite clubs at the top of the game, a league based on wealth and brand recognition rather than upon merit. we will not stand by and watch football be cravenly stripped of the things that make millions across the country love it. he said the football authorities had the government's full backing in the sanctions they take to stop the breakaway. but, madam deputy speaker, be in no doubt if they can't act, we will. we will put everything on the table to prevent this from happening. we are examining every option from governance reform to competition law and mechanisms that allow football to take place. put simply, we will be reviewing everything the government does to support these clubs to play. labour said the move was a watershed moment and welcomed the review.

we know that there are members across this house who have it for the past 11 years of conservative—led governments supported reform. so it's time, madam deputy speaker, for the government to get off the subs bench and show some leadership on the pitch because we need reform of football. we're in a global pandemic and the owners of the six clubs behind this proposal think that now is the time? now is the time to ride roughshod over their fans and endanger the future of football on the back of a year when fans have been at the heart of supporting communities up and down the country. what a contrast. and it's been carved out behind closed doors without consultation with fans or players, and these proposals have at their heart a plan which is so anti—football — a super league from which you can never be relegated, in which you are are always guaranteed a place because of your wealth, it represents a fundamental attack on the integrity of sporting competitions.

signed a petition urging the government to think again. that demand was debated by mps with the first speaker explaining that many of them feared the change would put people off going into the countryside. discouraging rambling should not be a consequence of this information. this got discouraging ramblings should not be a consequence of this. urban dwellers, include higher levels of minorities and the economically disadvantaged who already have less access to outdoor spaces in england. they could be disproportionately affected even through reality or the perception that they are going to be criminalised through accessing the countryside. but she'd also heard from farmers and landowners on the other side of the argument. in their view, instances of trespass with residency have

become a larger problem with the use of intimidation, environs and environmental destruction being reported to them. they felt current legislation was not a useful tool to prevent these issues in order to best prevent and discourage intentional and destructive trespassed. it seems logical to them to make this a criminal but a labour mp was scathing about the bill's impact on the gypsy, roma and traveller communities. this is a rather nasty racist little attempt to attack minority ethnic communities ready suffering severe discrimination and other socially marginalised groups. no family willingly stops somewhere they are not welcomed, that has no running water, waste disposal or electricity and where they will be harassed. if the lack of authorised sites exist, whether they be permanent or not, and

they be permanent or not, and the number of permanent sites on aggregate have gone down over the past ten years by several hundred and over 8% in total. how is this 8% in total. andrew slaughter said the bill set up confrontation so that the home secretary could "engage in a bit of dog whistle politics. but a conservative outer london mp saw things differently. david simmonds lives opposite a green space where there'd been an illegal encampment. unlike many people across the country, i am the residents were treated to the site of people defecating publicly opposite our homes, sing rubbish strewn around, extensive vandalism, and normal activities, children's hall, outdoor exercise, dog walking, all had to stop while the legal process was followed. the minister said ramblers and other countryside users would be unaffected and insisted the law was not anti—traveller.

the government wants to ensure fair and equal treatment for all travelling communities and believe that settled in travelling communities should be able to live side—by—side, harmoniously and indeed integrated and we hope the clear rules and boundaries put in place will facilitate that. ministers have come under more pressure to impose sanctions on chinese officials who led a crackdown on hong kong pro democracy campaigners. last week, 100 mps and peers signed a letter calling for so called magnitsky sanctions to be imposed. a foreign office minister told the house of lords the government was keeping the situation under review. my my lords, we are clear that the hong kong authority decision to target leading pro—democracy figures for prosecution is on accept bull and must stop. the right to peaceful protest is fundamental to hong kong's way of life, protected in both the joint declaration on the basic law that it should be upheld. we shall continue to raise

concerns with the chinese and hong kong governments and bring together our international partners to stand up the people of hong kong stop the human rights lawyer lady kennedy was one of the one the 100 mps and peers who called for sanctions to be introduced. we are asking to introduce the sanctions in beijing and hong kong for breaches of the joint british declaration and the serious human rights violations committed in hong kong. in light of the sentencing of some of the most prominent mainstream and internationally respected senior democracy campaigners, isn't it time to impose magnitsky sanctions? firstly, i agree with the honourable lady with increasing number — honourable lady with increasing number of convictions and at the end _ number of convictions and at the end of last week, we sought further— the end of last week, we sought further action taken by the hong — further action taken by the hong kong authorities against people — hong kong authorities against people were simply calling out the right to both protest and
