here's more from bethany bell in lesbos.r night out in the open, some sleeping on the side of the road and others saying they will stay in the olive groves and field round about. through the day they have been waiting for some deliveries of food and water every so often you see people lining up. police saying go back if they try to cross the line out into the main town. and there is one man who tried to cross the police line and the priest said go back, go back to michael bent. there isa back, go back to michael bent. there is a lot of worry around the population about what will happen with all the refugees who are letting rough and there is no particular desire to see another camp built here. many of the refugees and migrants say they simply want to go somewhere else. they want to move on and have a better chance of assistance somewhere else. but, many of them say be have been here for a very long time. and they really have no perspective of what is happening. the main fire is out but some small fires every so often start b

bethany, what's the situation there?rts of people having to sleep literally anywhere there is space? if you look at the scene behind me, you will see lots of people who slept on the side of this quite busy main road here on lesbos last night. the third night they spent over the last few days. we have seen families and so little children. people really struggling to try and wash themselves, little bottles of water, and this is a time of course with the coronavirus pandemic, and there are a lot of fears that they don't quite know when they will have shelter again. the greeks on the island are getting very worried about the idea of another camp being built here, there isa another camp being built here, there is a lot of opposition to that, and we've seen aid workers around this morning handing out food to people, but in other places, the locals have blocked them because they say it's time the migrant camps should be moved from lesbos altogether, but for now, there doesn't seem to be any kind of political guidance on that, p

when we had the chance to make a decision, do we move towards bethany. a limited fashion because there wereau people who looked like every single shade were able to make progress and that's my community and by ancestors shouldn't be eliminated or minimized in that conversation. the other thing i noticed that when we are talkingmimi about context, and in a really important question of context because it also means understanding of the history of that the only time we have had major movements that have lost the sustainable impact is when it wasn't just the impact of communities fighting for justice for the impact of the communities.ce whether we are talking about the civil rights movement, whether they are talking about the anti-apartheid movement. part of the reason it was so effective is because it wasn't just the point of those standing up and saying this is unjust and there's no wayay we can allow a system like this to exist. part of the reason we had the movement for marriage equality is because it just didn't have to be at work for lgbtq fans chantin

i'm talking about the report that you personally pledged to bethany jade about the report that you personallyof which the government rejected —— made. even as basic as putting in place information for employers showed they know how to respond and support pregnant new mothers —— so they know. why did the government reject them all and could the prime minister pledged to look at this again and commit to supporting new mothers during this covid crisis? i'm certainly happy to look at what we can do to support new mothers and i think we have done a huge amount investing in a postnatal care, in supporting the mental health. at the moment it is easier for an expectant father to go to the pub and to go grouse shooting then to attend his own baby's growth scans, so the government needs to do much more, so candy prime do the committee looking at this report which he has already promised to do question not —— so can the prime minister commit to look at this report. i'm very happy to look at this and get back to the honourable lady. families can have the informal child care that they rely on in scotland
