minded douglas ross, agree with boris johnson? said he was to get a deal... no, i'm not asking you. with the deal bea not asking you. with the deal be a good outcome for the uk? there are certainly opportunities as we are able to trade freely as an independent nation and we can ensure that trade deals are good for scotla nd trade deals are good for scotland and the whole of the uk... would it be a good outcome for the uk? i'm saying, all the efforts of the uk government continue rightly to be on getting a deal, the prime minister is absolutely correct to say unless we can reach that by the european council on 0ctober by the european council on october 15 then we have to prepare for all eventualities. and if we leave without a deal then there are opportunities for scotland and the rest of the united kingdom, for example in the fishing industry we can free ourselves from the heated common fisheries policy which has dragged down that industry for the last 15 years. you look forward to telling the scottish fishermen that in a no—deal

mihir, what do you think of boris johnson's message? well, boris boris johnson's message?ell, boris johnson has been trying to play down the middle, all the johnson has been trying to play down the middle, allthe noises johnson has been trying to play down the middle, all the noises that were coming through the weekend. we might have a two week circuit breaker which would have been really, the lockdown in a new form. as ros said, he's trying to connect with humanity but also, in the spirit of winston churchill, in his speech, what is interesting is that part of the speech is open to criticism. he says we depend on our own individual behaviour. people already on twitter have been reminding us of that in a way, the measures he hopes will work, certainly the scientists will have been putting him under pressure to be more severe. some ministers we re to be more severe. some ministers were putting him under pressure to be more severe. ijust want to interrupt, that's exactly what's on the front page of the times. on the right—hand side, there's an article saying house visits mig

boris and christine? >> manu raju, thank you for that. mitch mcconnell is poised to move quickly. it's hard to ignore the prediction since he took the exact opposite approach with president obama's pick merit garland. >> this vacancy will not be filled this year. we will look forward to the american people deciding who they want to make this appointment through their own votes. >> now mcconnell argues that he decided to delay on merit garland because in 2016 the white house and the majority in the senate isn't the way to do this and if you wonder why we want to play this clip, senator graham asked us to. >> i want you to use my words against me. if there's a republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say, lindsey graham said let's let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination and you can use my words against me and you'd be absolutely right. >> majority leader mitch mcconnell expected on the floor today. president trump has already rev

boris johnson will probably speak later. i was expect him to speak a little bit more upfront that he handed it over to his medical team. looks like we will see an announcement regarding a significant limitation of activity in the u.k. marilyn watson is with us. as we start to see governments taking stronger action what are the implications for fixed income? marilyn: in terms of lockdowns and -- i think we will continue to see this for the rest of the year and probably for a large part of next year as well. we will start to see flareups in the virus in different places. it is going to be on a case-by-case basis. when you look at the economy, the global economy, the eurozone, the u.k., the u.s., all the data is pretty much better than we have been expecting if you want to go. i think you will continue to see actions from governments as they need to do. backstopping that, you have a central banks and essential stimulus. in the u.k. we will have the end of the furlough. we also do have the brexit negotiations. in terms of the u.

so you are not going to be boris—backing? well, exactly. during the course of my leadership campaign and since i became leader, i will work with the prime minister when i think it's the best interest of scotland, but also, i resigned from his government a number of months ago, so i will also stand up to the prime minister if i think something he's doing it is not in the best interests of scotland. you certainly did resign from your post in government over a particular issue, and we'll get to that later, but since then, you have made a point of stressing how friendly your relationship is with borisjohnson. you have entertained him twice on visits to scotland since then and you have talked about how you and he can work together. so, give me an example of what you have actually stood up to borisjohnson the last few weeks and months. well, i do think resigning from government is... crosstalk. no, i'm talking about... it is quite a strong element of standing up to the prime minister. but what i've also said is i'm also not going to manufacture g

sian, let's go to the other main story in the observer, report the boris johnson is going to step ups not doing too well against keir starmer in prime minister's questions and is quite frustrated about that, that is the account in the observer. this stems from prime minister's questions last weeks, apparently, according to the observer, were boris johnson weeks, apparently, according to the observer, were borisjohnson was asked by the speaker to withdraw comments he made about keir starmer and the ira. and after that, he refused to apologise, and after that sort of spat, he told people, boris johnson told people at conservative headquarters he wanted to go after keirstarmer 's headquarters he wanted to go after keir starmer 's legal records and double down on personal attacks against him. i mean, keir starmer, a human rights lawyer, former director of public prosecutions, he spent five years of his legal career prosecuting ira terrorists so it was perhaps, and misplaced attempt to attack him so as you say, this is against a background for boris johnson 's personal popularity is falli

boris johnson says the real deadline is october 15.he is, if we do not leave by then, i do not think there would be a free trade between us, and we should accept that and move on. that would be a no deal brexit, which johnson previously said was a million to one issue. here is the minisagain. >> it is sensible, in that we all need to know where we stand by the middle of october so we know we are planning for, and if we are planning for the free trade agreement, the type of agreement we think is possible to achieve and which makes sense for both parties, well, let's get thaterstood by the middle of october. if, on the other hand, there is not going to be a further negotiated agreement, and we will be trading on terms, businesses need to know that so they can plan for it. anchor: the minister mentioning training on terms similar to australia, and that means basically wto rules. australia and they do not have their own role. there is also the difference in scale that we should note. australia exports about 8% of its goods to the eu, which

i'm boris sanchez in for laura jarrett. >> nice to see you this morning, boris. it's tuesday, september 22nd. it is officially the first day of autumn. 5 a.m. in new york. six weeks until the election and a day before the debate. the u.s. is far outpacing the world no matter how you parse these numbers. america has lost more lives to get ready. >> close to 6 million deaths. you can't look at that and say, that's terrific. >> there are signs of more trouble ahead. the 7-day moving average of new cases has crept above 40,000 for the first time since labor day. cases are now increasing in 24 states with the western half of the country a really big concern now. >> to put a face on these numbers, we want to share with you two of the latest victims. 67-year-old johnny lee peoples and his wife kathy. the north carolina couple was together for more than 50 years and they died just minutes apart holding each other's hands. of course, you can't escape the politics of this. here's democratic presidential nominee joe biden. >> what worries me now is we've been living with th

quite a few papers have got this picture of boris.icture he would've hoped to have had on the front pages today. disheveled, kezia, looking like a disheveled schoolboy, really, shoelaces undone. the whole launch of this new education deal com pletely of this new education deal completely hijacked by the fact he couldn't get the details right about what's happening in the northeast. yes, it's a strong headline, but actually the caption on that photo is even better. it says, "have i got confused for you stop to act." it would be funny if it weren't so serious. but you are right, it was supposed to be the prime minister's big day to unveil his huge plans for increasing the skills of qualifications for people across england who didn't have an a—level left in the age restriction taking away the age of 23 is the capper which you can turn to college to get your skills, nobody is talking about that in the papers today. they are talking entirely about the fact that the prime minister couldn't detailed the prime minister couldn't detailed the c

although, ben, i suppose boris johnson and have got to say.ight say that it's the same old faces making the same old criticisms. s i think that this gives it extra power when they talk about the northern ireland peace process. downing street suggesting that they are trying to protect the good friday agreement. these are the two architects of the good friday agreement, two very important people in bringing peace in northern ireland and they are saying that this could jeopardise it and this is the consensus of pretty much everyone who was involved in that. so it is powerful for them to make that point. i also think it is powerful for them to make the point that lot, europe can retaliate. europe has this ability to withhold the ability for uk financial firms to participate in a single market. this is a very, very important thing for british businesses. maybe uk trillion dollar tech firms in the future, they need that access. they should be mindful of the ability for europe to not cooperate on other matters which will very much hurt the uk economy

and here in europe today british prime minister boris johnson said the u.k. has reached a perilous turning point and he laid out new restrictions that could last into 2021 the u.k.'s situation is most extreme in europe but all across the continent people are curtailing their activities as the virus reminds us that it never left. he's waited 6 months for this bear for the 1st time since march pumps in ireland ever again pulling pints but the industry remains wary of a virus that hasn't gone away because we didn't believe until this morning we turned the key in the door that we were actually getting to open because because so many people started to work they only have to look at the capital dublin weapons have been told to stay shot to make a spiking case is that it's a stark contrast to the u.k. . where you're going to go where the government relaxed restrictions much earlier and is now warning of a 2nd wave of prime minister boris johnson who himself almost died from covert 19 back in march morning that the country had reached a perilous turning point he says

prime minier boris johnson has spoken to the leaders of scotland, wales, northern ireland today.a moment, the latest from our scotland editor and our ireland rrespondent. first, our wales correspondent. >> wales has been so to come out of restrictions, and now today four more air is added to the local lockdown list. tomorrow they will join others, so in all 850,000 people placed measures.r ople are not allowed to travel in and out of the local area and the seven valid reason like going to work or education. e ople are not allowed to meet indoors with anyom their household. and an 11:00 p.m. curfew. and now talk of a bigger lockdown could potentially be announced tomorrow. >>n scotland, nicola sturgeon says she wants fast interaction -- fast and urgent action, so she will make an announcement tomorrow aftnoon to t and bring the virus back under control in scotland. it is up to the scottish government to set their own rules. but it makes sense in these circumstances to try and have broadly similar rules across the whole of the u.k., even ifenhey are not cal in every one of the u.k.

what will boris johnson actually be judged on? >> he is going to be judged probably first on whether schools can stay open, and second, on the overall cost to the economy. actually, on both fronts it is not looking very good. we are hearing stories of children being sent home from schools because somebody in there bubble or peer tested positive, then having to work from home in this sort of hybrid schooling. it is not clear that these schools are going to be able to sustain this. if infections get worse through the winter. that is going to be one big test. and then obviously the economy, and we are seeing huge pressure on rishi sunak to extend the furlough. he is now providing more business loan support extension, but it is not clear that what they're are doing is going to be these lockdowns impose -- a big hit to consumer confidence. francine: we don't have enough testing. it seems that there are huge delays. is the government going to get a handle on that? is the government once again ill prepared for this scenario? righte: i th

it is basically saying that boris johnson different take.sjohnson is going to reject this idea from the past two days of a circuit breaker. a two or three week period to try and stop the spread of the disease. we are going to know on monday or tuesday whether he is backing the scientists are backing the business community more. it talks about a furious they say there are a million jobs at risk in the risk and. these are all at riskjobs. risk in the risk and. these are all at risk jobs. there's risk in the risk and. these are all at riskjobs. there's the other side as well with the 4 million are low incomes and benefits. are they going to get a special payment of £500 to self—isolate. this is the other problem. it might also be the reason why this is endemic in place, which is poorer because of the fact that they cannot afford time off. they are working jobs where you cannot do it from home. they have to go out and if they don't, they have not got enough money to be able to feed theirfamilies. that enough money to be able to feed their famili
