particularly. like e and can prove a bit difficult. and of course this will do huge economic damage to these pubs. restaurants clubs that t have been. seriously affected by already economically bonnie previously that the full lockdown and indeeeed w what is interesting is that boris johnsoson's had a v very b busy. he's had an emergency meeting that he has checked this morning in downing street he then went to parliament o on sad four hunundred minutes which we watctched carefully. seventy seven m. p.'s austin questions. in the house of commons- i i'm whatat was interesting thahat is that one of the concerns of them he'ss indeed. a conservative mps is this a lack of s scrutiny. abobout these cod rules being introduced. now what's interesting is the u. k. prime minister but- the first minister of scotland has actually gone one further the boys johnson.. does not onlyy gt to be. that same curfew as of friday in scotland for pubs.

restaurants and bars but actually what we want tonight. is very much that. you would be able to visit people from another household no this is what so ever so the draconian measures. are actually really in scotland. i'm the big i saw the people who be asked would you. and across the u. k. and even a europe. is thahat what what if the isn't a- what happens next as winter draws in- are w we really lookiking at perhaps the second u. k. lockdown. yes i think we all is this is the reality but- it's a very much a freedom loving united kingdom a freedom loving. prime minister who almost apologized both in parliament and in his tvv address- that love roof region. is very reluctantnt. even to impose these measures. andnd he is even even more reluctant to go back to aa national. on full lockdown and he- emphasized again and again that this is
