the eu has launched legal proceedings against the uk over its plans to override part of the brexit treatye course". here's nick beake in brussels. in a way this announcement may sound dramatic that they headlined the eu is starting legal action against the uk, but i think it was always inevitable because the frustration on the eu is very clear when the is very clear when the british last month said it was impaired to rep up parts of the brexit divorce bill of course that was agreed by both sides last year and so the eu set this deadline. saying they had there were jobs startled the limit parts of the turn to belt by september and that deadline passed on but i told this logical next step was the eu saying that we meant it and now the legal process begins. however, this is one of a number of legal procedures that takes place within the eu and legal action on this is likely to be extremely slow. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story... growing anger in india over violence against women, with a second gang rape leaving another innocent victim dead. both deaths have

the european union is suing the uk over its plans to break their brexit withdrawal deal. e the uk government the option to overrides elements of the withdrawal deal — something the uk admits would break international law. the eu said it would take action in response — and so it has. here's the president of the european commission. this draft bill is by its very nature a breach of the obligation of good faith laid down in the withdrawal agreement. moreover, if adopted as is, it will be in full contradiction to the protocol of ireland, northern ireland, the deadline lapsed yesterday. the problematic provisions have not been removed. the uk says it it will respond "in due course" — adding the bill is a "safety net." "to protect trade between different parts of the uk. but the context here the the uk and the eu signed the withdrawal deal and the uk government said it was ‘oven ready‘. there was no mention of further safety nets to either the eu or the people of the uk. the issue at stake is the one that's been there from the start of the brexit process — how to avoid a hard bo

concerned about environmental standards and animal welfare, and their worry is if the uk does trade deals with other after brexitto do that as part of those trade deals we might get food imported into the uk which isn't produced to the same standards that the uk producers, particularly farmers, have to adhere to and the concern among those communities, farming and the like, is that might undermine british farming in particular, make it difficult for some farmers to be sustainable but also it could impact on food and what jamie oliver was talking about is that bit. so, public health implications of this. it is important to say the government has consistently and repeatedly said there will be no undermining of food standards in any trade deal but the battle here is they haven't put that into law. they say they don't need to because parliament will sign off a trade deal with reassurances at the despatch box. it was in the tory manifesto and they repeated it time and again but it hasn't stopped the people concerned which is what jamie oliver was talking about today. a bad trade deal is bad for public health, that is

fishing is a relatively small industry in the uk — but it's always been central to brexit. s. we have the best fishing and europe has taken advantage of that for a0 yea rs, has taken advantage of that for a0 years, and we want to take that back. the focus on fishing is constant in the brexit process. and the idea that a country should decide who fishes in its waters has a persuasive logic. as this english fisherman puts it... we are an island nation, profit from the seas. the uk government is in synch with that — saying it will decide "who fishes in our waters and on what terms". but what sounds simple — is proving farfrom it. not least because the uk helped create the situation it now wants to change. let's start with deals done in the 705 by the uk and its neighbours. they're the basis of the quota system that the eu uses. this is how it works. here's the uk's "exclusive economic zone" marked in red. but if you're in the eu — it's not exclusive — everyone's zones are treated as a single shared resource. each country gets a quota — based on theirfishing catches in the 705.

the eu says it's willing to " i nte nsify" talks with the uk on a post brexit trade arrangement labourries about what will happen if there is no deal. they can call it no deal, they can call it an australia deal, they can call it a narnia deal as far as i'm concerned but let's be honest about what that means, and let's be honest about how damaging it is for this country. and a former commons speaker joins the chorus of disapproval of a bill that would allow ministers to break international law. never in my parliamentary experience have i witnessed such a collapse of the people's trust in a government that promised so much and so quickly. but first, the health secretary has held up the prospect of rolling out new coronavirus tests that can give results in 15 minutes. the news came as matt hancock made a statement to mp5, confirming that lancashire would be the latest area moving into the most restrictive tier 3 category. his comments came as further talks between the government and local leaders in greater manchester about whether that region should be placed under the harshest measures

so is it likely that time on brexit and other matters would have been squeezed? i think so. this domestic crisis for the uk government, then you've got the issue of brexit as well, and the exact terms of departure with all the problems we've just been hearing about. i mean, whitehall, the centre of the civil service and advisers for the british government, they're pretty exhausted there with the huge challenge of covid—i9, having to deal with all these restrictions on people's everyday lives, get that right, and look at the spread of the virus and how the nhs copes, plus these talks on brexit, they're two huge challenges and i think the whole government machine is extremely stretched. 0k, well, back to covid, i'm afraid. and i million deaths were recorded around the world this week from coronavirus, with countless more not diagnosed. there are of course fears of a recession this winter too, and balancing health and financial risks has been the core tension for governments around the world. here, borisjohnson was criticised from both sides, those wanting more or fewer restrictions, and for failing to steer
