the former ofsted minister, he was ink this would delay the results at least a week.orest, most disadvantaged pupils, suffer the most in the way the grades were allocated. pupils who might have been on course for quite high grades downgraded, unfairly. and obviously, it's a very similar process that is happening in england on thursday muh the results on thursday, and so obviously people are very concerned that we are going to see a repeat of this. the government has written to vice chancellors asking for them to show leniency, and to keep places open for pupils who appeal their awards, because if you don't reach your predicted grades, they say the university should show leniency there, but this is got the potential to really blow up if action is not taken. yeah, and, sienna, is the same algorithm in england as the used in scotland, do we know? for nicola sturgeon to apologise and say we got this wrong, is this perhaps putting pressure on england?m definitely does. the fact that ministers have been watching this massive u—turn by the s&p and by nicola sturgeon or she h

ofst, your topline thoughts the speeches tonight, most notably that of the president -- vice president. >> i think the vice president gave a fairly conventional speech, but the kind you expect to hear and there have been a lot of unconventional speeches at this convention and i would say last week as well. he did what a vice president is supposed to do when he is renominated. you praise the boss, you go through the policy achievements, then you attack the other guy. that is pretty much what he did in turn in that speech. i think one of the most notable things was what he had to say about joe biden that sets the tone for the fall campaign. he said, you won't be safe and joe biden's america. that is the law & order line the starkest way you can presented. he said that joe biden is a trojan horse for the radical left. that tells you what the attack lines are going to be on former vice president biden in the fall. i think it was also notable that he sort of skirted by the coronavirus a little bit after having spent a lot of time on that problem during the course of the last six months, but

and we have been saying wear them when appropriate in terms ofst social distancing, if you can't distance what do you have to lose? up to the governments we want to have a certain freedom. we want to have a certain freedom, that is what we're about, same time we also understand that each state is different. and is facing unique circumstances. you have very different states facing unique differences and circumstances, we have entrusted governors of each say the, elected by the people to develop and enforce their own mask policies and other policies following guidance from federal government and cdc, we work with each statete to implement a plan base on facts and science. we will continue to urge americans to wear masks when they cannot social distance. but we don't need to bring the full wait of federal government down on law abiding americans to accomplish to goal, americans must have their freedoms, i trust the american people. and their governors very much. they want to do the right thing. to make this smart decisions and, joe doesn't. joe doesn't. joe doesn't know too much. unlike the
