10:40 pm
and around downing street, basically no decision has been made. that will be finalised over the weekend, when they look at the data. the most likely option seems to be a four week delay, although others are being considered, and there also saying they're discussing things like weddings and whether it might be possible to ease restrictions for weddings, even if other restrictions for things like football matches you can have. doubtless we will hear more. i suspect borisjohnson will be pinned on that when he does his news conference at the g7 at the end of the event on sunday. do you want to talk a bit about the front of the ft? yeah, there's... yeah, there's. .. it's yeah, there's... it's not like a

10:42 pm
famine. it was accused of him starving romans to death because he wanted this bridge, this big spectacle. it was pointless. the things the g7 are promising, whether it's climate change or will impact better or coronavirus, none of it means anything, none of it is an important commitment. a lot of it is the chance to make the call, the chance does have night —— chance to have a nice sister say seven —— nice pictures taken. it doesn't... how can you possibly believe the people —— what people are saying about climate change. it took seven jumbo jets to getjoe biden and all his team here. how can you believe him when they're talking about controlling coronavirus? we have imported thousands of people. it's a

verity, that was... —— austerity. 0ther verity, that was... —— austerity. other countries are going to be spending and we have to do the same. biden does fancy himself as a bit of an fdr. he likes the idea of big infrastructure. donald trump does, too, but biden has a thing about this and seems to think it is of valley. is he able to convert those figures at the g7, perhaps even the british prime minister, where he wants to build back better, that this is investment that will pay off? that's part of the whole vaccination argument. if you spent 70 alien or thereabouts —— 50 billion to vaccinate 70%, their estimate as you get nine trillion.
10:45 pm
in a sense, they're figures and nobody knows if that's right, but it's an interesting analysis. absolutely, and i think that is absolutely how biden and our own prime _ absolutely how biden and our own prime minister seem to be making these _ prime minister seem to be making these big, — prime minister seem to be making these big, bold, noble, multilateral steps _ these big, bold, noble, multilateral steps but— these big, bold, noble, multilateral steps. but i think alongside those guite _ steps. but i think alongside those quite noble and achievable aim, there _ quite noble and achievable aim, there also— quite noble and achievable aim, there also general desires for people — there also general desires for people to act in tandem. there's been _ people to act in tandem. there's been the — people to act in tandem. there's been the agreement from the minimum tax corporation tax threshold, so an idea that _ tax corporation tax threshold, so an idea that people can move in a fair direction — idea that people can move in a fair direction. america being this influential country. i think susie is absolutely right about so much of the g7 _ is absolutely right about so much of the g7 is _ is absolutely right about so much of the g7 isjust an extensive is absolutely right about so much of the g7 is just an extensive talking shop _ the g7 is just an extensive talking shop where people talk a lot of rubbish — shop where people talk a lot of rubbish often. i had to sketch the g7, rubbish often. i had to sketch the g7. and _ rubbish often. i had to sketch the g7, and was struck by the word salad
