10:33 pm
that the government made here is that the government made here is that the economic damage to the economy is so large, they want to get people back to work, open up things as quickly as they can, but the corona re of doing that is the infection rate is already raising rapidly. we've already had a 50% increase in just one week, and rapidly. we've already had a 50% increase injust one week, and sajid javid said by the summer, the daily infection rate could rise to 100,000. what that means is that people who have not had their second jack map are increasingly likely to have to self—isolate —— second jab. what we're now hearing from sajid javid today was about the whole policy of the double jabbed are going to be allowed to not have to self—isolate any more. which is good for them, self—isolate any more. which is good forthem, but self—isolate any more. which is good for them, but this will also cause a lot of problems until that point with people having to self—isolate who come into contact with people

fears snapping carnage. they're talking about 2 million people a week at risk of contracting covid —— staffing carnage. how difficult that is going to be for any company trying to get back on its feet. yes, the head of uk hospitality is quoted on the front of the ft talking about how 60% of workers in the hospitality industry are under the hospitality industry are under the age of sa, so a lot will not have had a second jab back. the fact that this delay in changing the rules that sajid javid amounts to about isolation are only good to be changed on august the 16th. the call here is for that to have been brought forward. they're saying this delay is actually going to lead to carnage because a lot of people will end up getting pinged by test and trace and isolate at home, which is going to have a really significant impact. it also is going to
10:37 pm
potentially impact the nhs because again, a lot of workers may be affected by it, so the head of nhs providers also said this could create shortages, and we already know as a result of the lockdown over the last 16 months, there is a backlog of 5 million operations to conduct in the nhs. as well as all the other issues sajid javid has on his plate. so, a lot to deal with. rachel, the telegraph are sort of —— they're sort of angle on the same story is there is a backlash. government accused of delaying freedom day, says the telegraph, after this closing fully vaccinated people will still have to follow self—isolation rules until august the 16th. really suggesting all this should have been done at the same

10:40 pm
path to true freedom —— mohammed ali. this is being pushed by airports which have been affected. that have seen passenger numbers plummet sometimes up to 95%. also, a lot of people are keen to, they've been cooped up for months, to enjoy a holiday somewhere. this could be a game changer which would allow people who return from amber list countries to avoid the need to self—isolate for ten days. they would come back if they've been double jabbed, have a test and then be released, which would really free of things. i think there's good to be some special treatment that there. between the jab at mac and the jab back knots. i'm not sure there's any solution because it's
10:41 pm
better to do we can to get the travel industry up and running as much as possible, even if it's a little bit unfair to for those who haven't had the second jab back yet. if it is a game changer, it's a game changer the travel industry definitely needs.— changer the travel industry definitely needs. changer the travel industry definitel needs. �* ., , definitely needs. we've all seen the footaae of definitely needs. we've all seen the footage of cues _ definitely needs. we've all seen the footage of cues last _ definitely needs. we've all seen the footage of cues last thinking - definitely needs. we've all seen the footage of cues last thinking for - footage of cues last thinking for hours _ footage of cues last thinking for hours -- — footage of cues last thinking for hours —— queues lasting for hours. i think— hours —— queues lasting for hours. i think what— hours —— queues lasting for hours. i think what we — hours —— queues lasting for hours. i think what we will see is a more integrated — think what we will see is a more integrated approach by different countries with the covid restrictions they require. it will probably— restrictions they require. it will probably be digital. we're going to see a _ probably be digital. we're going to see a collection of countries working _ see a collection of countries working together because at the moment, — working together because at the moment, it really is prayer chaos. something — moment, it really is prayer chaos. something else that is pure chaos is the school bubbles idea and hundreds
10:42 pm
of thousands of people having to stay—at—home because of these self—isolation rules. the yorkshire post features that story. was it a necessary evil to have these bubbles in the first place? that we have to have them?— in the first place? that we have to have them? ~ �* , ., , have them? well, it's an interesting oint. the have them? well, it's an interesting point. the opinion _ have them? well, it's an interesting point. the opinion is _ have them? well, it's an interesting point. the opinion is divided. - have them? well, it's an interesting point. the opinion is divided. the i point. the opinion is divided. the government would argue they were needed because whilst children are not as affected by the virus as adults, they clearly do live at home with parents who can spread it in the course of their daily life and work. that was the theory behind it, but it has been extremely disruptive. we understand that up to 640,000 children in the last week have been off school. that's an increase from 370,000 a week before. you've got about one in eight children at the moment self—isolating at home because
10:43 pm
they're part of this bubble policy. iain duncan smith is quoted there. he's been writing quite openly about the negative effects to learning, where you have an increase of 55% of children who have actually missed half of their schooling in the past year, which is huge. he's talking about the associated affects that could lead to criminalisty, to anti—social behaviour and also made anti—social behaviour and also made a point that if you don't sort these things out and it leads to those effects, you could, the taxpayer could be looking up to £400,000 per people that suffers as a result of this. because they haven't been attending school. it's a serious problem and i'm glad that it's actually been undressed today by gavin williamson. let's move away from covid, and the guardian focuses on the story about the horrific murders of nicole smallman and beaver henry and daniel
