sounds like they're getting a little bit sick of bearing the front of this one and he said businesses need to adapt to the challenge of covid—19 and brexit and some of them haven't done that. this is like a free market in action, borisjohnson has been saying that today and it sounds like he's going to be pushing this line that businesses need to raise their wages if they want to get through these creases. he said he discreetly uses conference speech to raise the minimum wage and we will see if that happens but here they will be pushing back on those claims this is all the governments fault and that they could have done much more. fault and that they could have done much more-— fault and that they could have done much more. everyone is shifting the onus on to business. _ much more. everyone is shifting the onus on to business. they _ much more. everyone is shifting the onus on to business. they are - much more. everyone is shifting the onus on to business. they are fed i much more. everyone is shifting the| onus on to business. they are fed up and they're — onus on to business. they are fed up and they're saying — onus on to business. they are fed up and they're saying this _ onus on to business. they are fed up and they're saying this is _ onus on to business. they are fed up and they're saying this is done - onus on to business. they are fed up and they're saying this is done to - and they're saying this is done to brexit_ and they're saying this is done to brexit and — and they're saying this is done to brexit and the shift of that, blame his word _ brexit and the shift of that, blame his word you can use, but maybe they

down, lots of different and i do think it does share that concentration of power ring that theyis concentration of power ring that they is sending some people in person to sort out servers, i'm not tech reports i wouldn't know what the problem is but it does show how dependent we are on these apps, a social media and a lot of work gets done on them as well. so, i would imagine why people are shifting to different ways of communicating with their colleagues this evening. working very hard on instagram? instagram is down, facebook is down, but they're _ instagram is down, facebook is down, but they're all on by the same group — but they're all on by the same group. the person who benefits from this is— group. the person who benefits from this is twitter, i think as far as i can see — this is twitter, i think as far as i can see but— this is twitter, i think as far as i can see. but we're going to see his text messages being sent in a few years— text messages being sent in a few years ago. — text messages being sent in a few years ago, were talking about how many _ years ago, were talking about how many texts we were allowed to send per month, — many texts we were allowed to send per month, since whatsapp has come to the _ per month, since whatsapp has come to the world, have i got unlimited

10:36 pm
which _ either have to do dvms or text, which is — either have to do dvms or text, which is not too bad. there's a still— which is not too bad. there's a still valuable ways of communicating with people stop by we can also buy newspapers well, means of communicating. the front page talking about the police. not fit for the 21st century, this was an interview in which they said police forces only began checking officers social media earlier this year and they said vetting procedures will be examined following this and all in relation to the wayne cates where the police are under huge pressure. they quite rightly so. it is utterly crazy, relieved that it was a recently that officers social media was checked. 0f recently that officers social media was checked. of course, vetting is a snapshot in time and that's been the argument. but that's not good enough for the people were able to work so
10:37 pm
closely and it's so high up there and to be used as a tool in these horrible crimes and they've come under a lot of criticism for their response and i think quite rightly so and they've announced that there will be an independent review of the culture at the force and will see what that has to say but i don't really think that the response so far is gone very well and we can see why the government and ministers came on to get involved and take a step further to see that more people are protected. we've seen a lot about reinventing in the work that needs to be done. senior police officers that have come and said that the process phil the shortage that they're going to have the police force when to make things very difficult, but there's no doubt that the police need to look at themselves and obviously,
10:38 pm
this case is absolutely shocking as some of the things we have seen develop at the moment the cases that we cannot too much about or concerning as well. so, i think this opens up a discussion notjust about the police but about society as well we need to look at and see the culture and the things that go on in the workplace, i don't think this is just a thing for the police, i think this is a myth stretches further and people might want to admit at this stage, to be honest. talking about this front page at the metro. i'd let your patient died. this is about ego activists on he was asked and this is all about insulating britain and the plucking of roads. he is asked in this interview look, if there was a patient that could potentially die, which is still blocked the road? and he said yes, i
10:39 pm
would. and sleep britain polarising for some and for others is a clear—cut case of a great message but wrong way of putting it forward. yes. absolutely i think you're losing the pr argument and there is a video and circulating today of the woman mentioned in the story who was trying to see her sick mother whip and rushed to hospital in an ambulance and cannot get through and she caught them selfish and is quite difficult to look at that video and agree with that emotion and this is been a constant criticism of these protests. they are blocking emergency services getting through and that's with the start to lose the public argument. there are a lot of people i've spoken to that he with their names and that this is a very serious problem that we need to take very seriously but on the other hand, it's pretty extreme, isn't it?
10:40 pm
some of people say is this blockading and stopping people from doing the hospital, work, rather than the message itself. and doing the hospital, work, rather than the message itself. and sleep britain would _ than the message itself. and sleep britain would say _ than the message itself. and sleep britain would say that _ than the message itself. and sleep britain would say that their - than the message itself. and sleep britain would say that their action i britain would say that their action is getting — britain would say that their action is getting people talking and asking the whole of the media talking about it and _ the whole of the media talking about it and so, _ the whole of the media talking about it and so, they are achieving what they want. — it and so, they are achieving what they want, which is to get a about but they— they want, which is to get a about but they are losing that battle in terms _ but they are losing that battle in terms of — but they are losing that battle in terms of persuading people to be part of— terms of persuading people to be part of the cost that they are trying — part of the cost that they are trying to _ part of the cost that they are trying to achieve and i don't think at this— trying to achieve and i don't think at this moment, and any of their actions _ at this moment, and any of their actions are — at this moment, and any of their actions are going to lead to a positive — actions are going to lead to a positive outcome along the line here and i positive outcome along the line here and i think— positive outcome along the line here and i think i— positive outcome along the line here and i think i saw those videos are posted _ and i think i saw those videos are posted today by the radio stations that will— posted today by the radio stations that will have sympathy for those people _ that will have sympathy for those people and for that woman who was trying _ people and for that woman who was trying to— people and for that woman who was trying to see her mother was ill at hospital — trying to see her mother was ill at hospital. your heart went out for

10:42 pm
but not so much elsewhere and also, one could argue that bringing in the military and sticking plaster of what could be a problem further down the line. i what could be a problem further down the line. ~' �* the line. i think you're right it will be interesting _ the line. i think you're right it will be interesting to - the line. i think you're right it will be interesting to is - the line. i think you're right it will be interesting to is a - the line. i think you're right it. will be interesting to is a number ten was not keen to put in enddate, a hard enddate for where that will come in. it's valid for 31 days and keep talking but it is a sticking plaster because we need to get more drivers on the road and many of the applications that have come in to get foreign drivers to come and plug the gaps, from outside the eu or qualifications and i recognise. that is not as helpful as it might be. but the army can only deliver the fuel for so long it will have to try and find a way to make people want those jobs, and find a way to make people want thosejobs, to improve conditions,
10:43 pm
improved wages but we have people getting out there and it is still a problem in london in the southeast but i heard, a gentleman on the radio think he said absolutely no problems getting petrol. so does seem to be concentrated in specific areas. w' , seem to be concentrated in specific areas. w , :, :, seem to be concentrated in specific areas. , :, :, , areas. luckily, i have not been, i have literally _ areas. luckily, i have not been, i have literally filled _ areas. luckily, i have not been, i have literally filled up _ areas. luckily, i have not been, i have literally filled up a - areas. luckily, i have not been, i have literally filled up a couple . have literally filled up a couple weeks — have literally filled up a couple weeks ago early in the morning when i weeks ago early in the morning when i was _ weeks ago early in the morning when i was able _ weeks ago early in the morning when i was able to get fuel but for other people. _ i was able to get fuel but for other people, it's very tricky and have been _ people, it's very tricky and have been using _ people, it's very tricky and have been using this in the last few days but they— been using this in the last few days but they picked up on that on the front page — but they picked up on that on the front page mentioning visas and interest— front page mentioning visas and interest coming from people outside the eu _ interest coming from people outside the eu and _ interest coming from people outside the eu and that's an interesting part of— the eu and that's an interesting part of it — the eu and that's an interesting part of it because brexiteers would say, part of it because brexiteers would say. we _ part of it because brexiteers would say, we don't necessarily need people — say, we don't necessarily need people from the eu wears people from the other— people from the eu wears people from the other side of the argument would

to lift severe depression. what is effectively a pacemaker that is been inserted to a woman's brain or more people, it sends signals to the brain and its senses that you are, as simmons and a depressive state, it's been proven to work and that is usually exciting for people that suffer from severe depression which is debilitating. it suffer from severe depression which is debilitating.— is debilitating. it sounds like ma . ic in is debilitating. it sounds like magic in the _ is debilitating. it sounds like magic in the woman - is debilitating. it sounds like magic in the woman quoted | is debilitating. it sounds like . magic in the woman quoted and is debilitating. it sounds like - magic in the woman quoted and they say it's given them her life back she says is completely changed her life and she feels like she can live her life and do things again and it's on so they can basically turn off the little bits in the brain that are causing the depression and i will tend to be smart enough to understand it but it does sound absolutely incredible and if you can get that dopamine hit which i just
