11:34 pm
extraordinary to be looking at a front page like this. but with a kind of numbers that are coming through and the most important number that i think for me, everyone keeps their eyes on which is the hospital admissions. just starting to significantly rise again. we may be in very short order going backwards rather than forwards. anna? this is i think the key thing to understand here in the logic that's— to understand here in the logic that's informing some of the scientists is that every other major wave _ scientists is that every other major wave we've — scientists is that every other major wave we've had you see the graph and you see _ wave we've had you see the graph and you see it_ wave we've had you see the graph and you see it go— wave we've had you see the graph and you see it go down again. because after— you see it go down again. because after went— you see it go down again. because after went up lockdown again. this time the _ after went up lockdown again. this time the idea that we avoid locking down _ time the idea that we avoid locking down again. you don't get that sudden — down again. you don't get that sudden drop down in infections. what you have _ sudden drop down in infections. what you have is _ sudden drop down in infections. what you have is a — sudden drop down in infections. what you have is a much sustained level of infection — you have is a much sustained level of infection for a long period of time _ of infection for a long period of time and _ of infection for a long period of

11:37 pm
that gap— kids have missed and how you fill that gap going forward. it wasn't that gap going forward. it wasn't that long — that gap going forward. it wasn't that long ago we are talking about future _ that long ago we are talking about future was meant to fill the gap for the extra _ future was meant to fill the gap for the extra lessons that were meant to fill the _ the extra lessons that were meant to fill the dad _ the extra lessons that were meant to fill the gap. but now kids are effectively a fire break. a fire break — effectively a fire break. a fire break and _ effectively a fire break. a fire break and the school holiday is being — break and the school holiday is being used. it's often the impact dampens— being used. it's often the impact dampens the extreme curse of covid infaction— dampens the extreme curse of covid infection was up the numbers we are seeing _ infection was up the numbers we are seeing in _ infection was up the numbers we are seeing in terms ofjust the app begs the question whether that fire break has been _ the question whether that fire break has been enough. ian, the question whether that fire break has been enough.— has been enough. ian, what do you make of it? — has been enough. ian, what do you make of it? were _ has been enough. ian, what do you make of it? were coming _ has been enough. ian, what do you make of it? were coming to - has been enough. ian, what do you| make of it? were coming to the end of the summer term and schools in scotland broke up several weeks but were coming to the end of the summer term in england and wales. in a sense the problem goes away at least from schools. it doesn't go away. because people are in families and they will be a lot of them travelling and different parts of the country for the summer visiting family and maybe going on a holiday themselves with up and then it will all be back in the same position in
11:38 pm
the summer. all be back in the same position in the summer-— the summer. that's right. that is the summer. that's right. that is the real concern. _ the summer. that's right. that is the real concern. of— the summer. that's right. that is the real concern. of course - the summer. that's right. that is the real concern. of course is - the summer. that's right. that is| the real concern. of course is part of the gamble and it's a very calculable but not calculated gamble that freedom day is coinciding with the schools starting to break up. the weather being extremely warm and it would appear that as we've seen over the past 12 months that the hot weather has suppressed certainly previous variance of covid. question is whether or not that's going to have the effect on the delta variant. we don't know yet. the timing of this absolutely is all been about giving people their freedoms over the summer break because hopefully there is going to because hopefully there is going to be less interaction. well maybe not at the moment it ain't going well.
11:39 pm
iain do you want to continue on our covid theme for the first part of this review with the daily telegraph. in the context of all of that the pressure on the government to increase the number who are in fact exempt from having to sell but not self—isolate if they come into contact with somebody who has tested positive? this contact with somebody who has tested ositive? , , , . positive? this reminds me very much ofthe positive? this reminds me very much of the lobbying. _ positive? this reminds me very much of the lobbying, and _ positive? this reminds me very much of the lobbying, and i _ positive? this reminds me very much of the lobbying, and i said _ positive? this reminds me very much of the lobbying, and i said that - positive? this reminds me very much of the lobbying, and i said that is - of the lobbying, and i said that is lobbying guy, to place in the second quarter of last year of key industries trying to make the case that they needed to stay open in order to provide essential services. yeah, there are some exemptions that are in place at the moment. if people get pinged for key workers but what a lot of businesses are saying restaurants, banks, all parts

11:45 pm
so we end up taking a disproportionate burden. there is this problem of sharing within the eu and expecting countries to art in the same organisation any longer to share is perhaps a leap of faith too far. isn't it? share is perhaps a leap of faith too far- isn't it?— far. isn't it? where ever you were on brexit. — far. isn't it? where ever you were on brexit. the _ far. isn't it? where ever you were on brexit, the plane _ far. isn't it? where ever you were on brexit, the plane reality- far. isn't it? where ever you were on brexit, the plane reality was . on brexit, the plane reality was this whole kind of conversation played through what happened in 2016. part of the reason why david cameron gambled by going for a relatively early brexit referendum and that parliament was that he thought that if he got the referendum away early, before their was summer after summer after summer of these kind he might win. the story in the end overwhelmed him. frankly, with the numbers now higher

11:47 pm
compelling television, she didn't pull her punches. i found her asking some of the questions, i think many of us wanted to be asked for the past four or five years let alone the past two or three years. i kind of walked away from it with a sort of, a real big sense of incredulity on many of the things that dominic cummings said. as you say focusing in on the idea that literally a month after the general election, december 2019 when dominic cummings had been instrumental in helping borisjohnson get his majority, he kind of started having conversations about getting rid of him. in a democratic society who is in control here? i think that was the most
11:48 pm
interesting piece that i wish laura put to cummings again and again and again. you are unelected and yet you were seemingly pulling the strings. he kind of proved that whole narrative in every answer he gave. it's intriguing because i suppose that raises the question about the appropriateness of him being appointed to prime minister chief adviser in the first place if he was unclear about the limits and the extent of the role. and that becomes a question pride ministersjudgment, i presume. a question pride ministers 'udgment, i resume. , ., a question pride ministers 'udgment, i-resume. , ., . a question pride ministers 'udgment, iresume. ., . ., ., i presume. exactly that. we have to remember at _ i presume. exactly that. we have to remember at the _ i presume. exactly that. we have to remember at the end _ i presume. exactly that. we have to remember at the end of _ i presume. exactly that. we have to remember at the end of the - i presume. exactly that. we have to remember at the end of the day - i presume. exactly that. we have to remember at the end of the day he | remember at the end of the day he .ave remember at the end of the day he gave him _ remember at the end of the day he gave him the job. remember at the end of the day he gave him thejob. he remember at the end of the day he gave him the job. he signed up for that trade — gave him the job. he signed up for that trade and if it happened as was described _ that trade and if it happened as was described who made those decisions? because _ described who made those decisions? because ultimately boris johnson couid _ because ultimately boris johnson could have fired dominic cummings anytime _ could have fired dominic cummings anytime that he wanted to. he couid've — anytime that he wanted to. he could've held a press conference and set unfortunately my adviser it
