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

response and we're leaving that i thought from clear to you because boris johnson the u.k. prime minister has taken to the podium inside the house of commons we're going to get measured we understand over the coming 10 or 15 minutes or so what the u.k. government is bringing in with relation in relation to covert 1000 restrictions specifically in england because that's one of the issues here because you've got devolved and then expressions and actions are wales and northern ireland as well let's listen in the earlier this year we were able to avert an even worse catastrophe forming a human shield around our n.h.s. and then getting our country moving again by reopening key sectors of our economy returning children to school but we always knew that while we might have driven the virus into retreat the prospect of a 2nd wave was real and i'm sorry to say that as in spain and france and many other countries we've reached a perilous turning point a month ago on average around a 1000 people across the u.k. were testing positive for corona virus every day the latest figures almost

shyama, while we are on boris johnson, let's look at the telegraph, a story about how chris johnson wasbsolutely, taken from 2017, a conversation borisjohnson was having and you can tie that into the story that sian has just discussed, i wish to personalise and attack individuals, that is a tactic of donald trump so it's quite interesting, boris, when he slipped from number one to i think number 18 in the conservative home website favourite tory list, bearing in mind it is his website and he was number one and he should be number one as prime minister, i think it's quite interesting he is backing off and starting to think it's time to personalise and i would also tie in, actually, the extinction rebellion, thatis actually, the extinction rebellion, that is a typical trump response to people who are saying or doing something he does not like and one single incident of something being stopped or ruined for two days, and suddenly, this is the reason to turn them into organised crime, effectively. i mean, all of these crazily extreme responses to every day bad behaviour and every day bad lu

guy: boris johnson being on thened by laborers brexit story. boris johnson is saying that the u.k.ould impose reciprocal tariffs and threatening " formidable tariffs against the e.u. in events of no deal." how acrimonious could it become? at the moment, it is a hard deal or no deal. are we beginning to talk about the fact that this could become antagonistic were it to become antagonistic and the e.u. and the u.k. view each other as enemies on either side of the channel, and there is a tariff conflict, how much damage could that do? are we pricing in the worst case scenario, or given the language, we need to price in more? peter: i certainly do not think we are pricing in a worst-case samaria we are pricing in a bad scenario. you can always come up with one that is worse. am one you are describing, i not very optimistic that we get a very good deal together, that i do not want to go that far because we also have to keep in mind that the two sides negotiate and that is a positive, and in this crucial phase u.k. government has made it clear that they believe that only a very hard nego

that win for boris johnson yesterday but many are wondering what the strategy is at the stage. is it a negotiating tactic or the policy that boris johnson thought it could be that would ruin the trade agreement >> indeed the big question at this stage is that this part of the negotiations or the uk government actually doesn't mind not reaching with the agreement with the eu by the end of the year this legislation has implications also in domestic policy and not just about the conflict with the european union. that was clear yesterday during the debate in the house of commons. also divisions within the ruling party itself 0 on the one hand conservative lawmakers saying they could not approve this bill that would breach international law that would be part of the uk law. on the other hand, we have heard from other conservative lawmakers saying the eu has not been acting in good faith and there for the uk government can indeed change its commitments. we also heard from the prime minister himself made a comment that this is just an insurance policy against the eu. >> what we are se

why won't boris johnson meet this group of bereaved families?gation against the government... they say that is not true. i am not questioning whether it is true or not, but i'm saying what the prime minister made clear was that it was his understanding they are in litigation, and he would be happy to meet them once that process is cleared. to touch on the furlough issue, stephen doughty, if ican bring furlough issue, stephen doughty, if i can bring you back in. dave and the snp saying the furlough scheme should be extended. borisjohnson making the point it is costing billions and it is much better to get people back into the office. isn't he right? people who have already lost jobs there isn't he right? people who have already lostjobs there are certain sectors which have been very badly hit. it is simply not acceptable for the prime minister to try and brush this off, and we know the sectors that are badly hit, we know the ones which are staying in restrictive measures for longer, and they are entitled to that support, so there has to be a focu

it is clear that boris johnson was confused in this is a story that we are going to see across the papersone that he wanted us to be talking about. this is the day with their unfailing the grand plan to increase the scale and uncapping the people going to college and the story is now, why does the prime minister not know the covid—i9 rules? it is a really boring message and its only adding to the fire of tory mps at the government of the pandemic. matt, giving them both barrels. prophetic pm cannot explain the rules. downing street must be disappointed that this whole thing has been hijacked by his one answer about how the rules are going to apply. a disastrous day and quite frankly it is the david journalist love, full of calamity and people make mistakes on the radio and tv stations and sadly, we are a global pandemic. in just hours, stations and sadly, we are a global pandemic. injust hours, minutes after he made that gaffe and sink exactly the opposite of what is in place in the northeast, he had to tweet his apology, admitting he got it wrong and coming out hours after the minister m

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

on other birds that showdown between britain and the european union british prime minister boris johnson saying that the u.k. will pull out of talks aimed at striking a free trade deal with the bloc if there is no agreement by october 15th when a release statement to the press johnson said there needs to be in agreement with our european friends by the time of the european council on the 15th of october if it's going to be enforced by the end of the year so there's no sense in thinking about timelines that go beyond that point if we can't agree by then then i do not see that there will be a free trade agreement between us and we should both accept that and move on. britain formally left the e.u. in january but the transition period was agreed and told the end of the here let's get more on all of this we have team coverage i'm joined from brussels by correspondent karen maginnis and with the view from london. joins us now and we're going to have like to begin with you because we just heard that statement from boris johnson is he and his government really prepared to go through with this.

the october 15 deadline was actually imposed by boris johnson., it would be ideal to get an earlier deal so that everybody can prepare for that, but the real deadline here, and again, deadlines when you are dealing with brussels are deadlines in water always. the deadline would be sometime in mid-november. the clock is ticking, but there is still some time here. it is expected that in november we will not be far away from where we are today. francine: i have many questions. if we just start about what now, you the most right there is a german-russian angle , there isstream u.s.-china, what has the potential to escalate significantly over the next 2-3 months. ritika -- wolfango: i take a different view here. i don't think there is a major risk of international crisis escalation. the want to keep an eye on would be what is going on in the eastern mediterranean between turkey and greece on one side, on.t and israel and so a lot of military hardware being deployed in a small piece of sea, something can go wrong. so let's keep an eye on that one. in t

boris johnson is talking about the middle of october. michel barnier talks about the end of october. you have a date in mind in november. these things often go to the wire. what should we be looking for? johnson has said the 15th of october. it is a cyclical basis. to have a deal by november 27. the timing needed will be important. it has not been priced in by markets yet. of our opinion columnist suggested a no deal farit at this point is not away from the best deal johnson could get from the eu anyway. i don't know if she is just being cynical. we think we are going to see the pound work its way lower. what is the best deal the u.k. could get? realistically. they want a free-trade agreement. i think what has increased emphasis is the issue of aid. u.k. companies have been blocked from receiving a during the pandemic because of eu rules. this is something that has been continuously reinforced i the eu. when it comes to a crisis time, it is that flexibility, very critical. there is increased reason why boris johnson will be very stringen

i think by comparison with boris johnson.ror. 56 million set for two weeks of lockdown, you mentioned earlier, briefly talking through what is going on here. and as i said earlier. this, will people abide by this new restrictions and the message, is it clear enough? the rule of six throughout all sorts of anomalies and it is a ridiculous situation where i could go into a pub and say to my mates, spend time with five of them and then find another five friends and quite legally have another round of drinks. so, families of two families could not meet up in the streets even could not meet up in the streets evenif could not meet up in the streets even if they were relatives, that would be mingling according to her ofa certain would be mingling according to her of a certain number. the difficulty is that if we are moving to this second lockdown come up with the guidance be clear and understandable was white i'm going to stop you from showing up from made french you've got. friends of the guardian. -- how many friends you've got. o
