running into trouble, the company which operates the east coast main line is losing millions of pounds. now the government intervenes. tackling the underground trade in super powerful painkillers that have claimed more than 100 lives in the last two years. fentanyl‘s a killer, and the drug dealers are playing russian roulette with our lives. they give our children drugs, and our children, my child, died from it. and 100 years after some women won the right to vote in britain — we look back at their extraordinary struggle for equality. and later on we will have sportsday on the bbc news channel with the latest reports, results interviews and features from the bbc sports centre. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the prime minister has been warned that her decision to leave the eu's customs union, which allows goods to move between eu countries without tariffs — will cause ‘unavoidable‘ barriers to trade. and the european union's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, who was in downing street for talks today, said the time had come for britain to make a choice on what it

if you can make these coast main line work, why couldn't the private sector?re struggling for crash because there weren't generating enough revenue from the business to pay the premium due to the government. they did not have the money to do what is needed. it's the same story again this month. with the line be better run if it was nationalised? you can run railways successfully in either the public or private sector, you pay your money and take your choice. governments generally speaking not good at running things. my view is that the government ought to set the sense of direction and vision, if you like, for the industry, then leave it to professional people to get on and deliver that vision over a period of 20 years or so. 20 years gives time for long—term investment and planning. the east coast has had four operators, including the government operator in the last 20 years since privatisation. before that, it ran for almost 50 years under british rail. once upon a time, british rail was the jewel in the crown of our national transport system. though there a
