upset a few people here as well, they write, while it is not any jurisdiction by the monarchy or cabinet office over the use of the word royal overseas, they do not intend to use sussex royal or any iteration of the word royal in any territory. calling into question whether or not the queen can, you know, offer any jurisdiction around the word royal. some tension there clearly and the tabloids are making much of it. >> tabloids. they made much of royal stories, never heard of that. max foster, thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> some sad news to report. we just learned that nasa mathematician catherine johnson, the woman who helped put americans on the moon, has died. her and her remarkable accomplishments are all depicted in the 2016 oscar nominated film "hidden figures." there she is. she began working at nasa in 1953, calculated the trajectory for alan shepard, the first american in space. nasa administrator jim burdensteen called her a national hero. >> catherine believed in equality, overcame obstacles to achieve great things and make life better for others. shi received the presidentia

the cabinet office offered me a financial would have avoided this outcome. aware that there will continue to be briefing against me, now that i have made this decision. but i am hopeful that at least it may not now be directed towards my colleagues or the department. this has been a very difficult decision. but i hope that my stand may help in maintaining the quality of government in our country, which includes hundreds of thousands of civil servants loyally dedicated to delivering this government's agenda. i will make no further comment at this stage. sir philip rutnam speaking a short time ago and of course he has just resigned his position. our political editor, laura kuenssberg, explained the background to sir philip's resignation. the context of this, of course, is that we have a government that do want to make big changes, they do want to make change in whitehall, they do want to run a government more effectively, they do have frustrations sometimes with how things have been done over the last years and decades. and they are certainly willing to go rut

i want the cabinet office or downing street to set up a cross departmental body, i'm not asking for at a cross departmental body that will really look at this in the rounds. so it is not each of the different silos. and at some point i would like the prime minister to chair it because i think there are real positive societal changes we can bring about if we got this right. the minister said the estimated cost of brain injury in the uk was one billion pounds a year. and she said she'd take chris bryant's idea on board. i certainly will take forward this idea of a real collaborative cross whitehall group to discuss this, even from the issues that have been raised today — health, work and pensions, dcms, transport, mad, education, cabinet office all need to be really involved in the conversation and i'm sure there will be others. caroline dinenage. this week it was reported that a twelve year old girl died in egypt after being subjected to female genital mutiliaton. according to the world health organization 200 million women are living with the consequences of such practices, with as ma

can i thank the minister for the cabinet office for prior sight of his statement? is not the case. we have taken the first step in leaving the european union but brexit is far from done and the government's ambition for our new relationship is our most important trading partner is frankly underwhelming. they started with a commitment to securing the exact same benefits and scaled it back to frictionless trade to protect our vital supply chains, thenit to protect our vital supply chains, then it was canada plus plus plus, now it is canada so long as that doesn't get in the way of ending our alignment with the standards we have previously enjoyed. the minister talked about the government's mandating the general election, which was based on a withdrawal agreement and a political declaration which says that a free trade agreement will be, and i quote, underpinned by provisions ensuring a level playing field, which they never apparently project. the minister spoke of higher uk standards within the eu and he is right, there are some examples, but eu standards are a floor

the cabinet office offered me a financial settlement that would have avoided this outcome.inue to be briefing against me now i have made this decision. but i am hopeful that at least it may not now be directed towards my colleagues or the department. this has been a very difficult decision. but i hope that my stand may help in maintaining the quality of government in our country which includes hundreds of thousands of civil servants loyally dedicated to delivering this government's agenda. i will make no further comment at this stage. well, you can see there there is absolutely no doubt sir philip rutnam has taken this thing seriously and you can see actually how shaken he appears to have been from everything that has happened. and this is a very significant development for what is still quite a new government that wants to make change, that wants to do things differently. but doing things differently. but doing things differently is one thing. actually having a situation where someone who has been a senior public servant for many years feels forced to act in this vein is g

what they are doing at the moment is there will be a meeting of the cabinet office to co—ordinate styley department will have a junior minister responsible for coronavirus who will be known as the virus lead, which is perhaps something you don't want on your passport. but at last the government is taking action. whereas before they did seem to drag their feet. we have now got it here. try to keep it out, which is what they did, but now it is here we have got to plan. do you think they could have started talking about this earlier? absolutely. as soon as they started talking about this, why did anybody think it would stay in china? if you have something like this it is going to move, because we move, people move around the world, with remarkable speed and frequency. let us remarkable speed and frequency. let us and on the front page of the mail on sunday. it is leaked e—mails. britain doesn't need farmers. this is not going to cheer up any farmers reading the daily mail over their brea kfast reading the daily mail over their breakfast tomorrow morning. this is a friend of dominic cumming

the foreign secretary dominic raab, as is the home secretary priti patel, and michael gove as cabinet officere is a big new cabinet job for this man, alok sharma. this reshuffle is still a work in progress. stay tuned. mrjavid's departure comes less than a month before the budget. our business editor, simon jack, is here. a new boss at the treasury, what difference will that make? we heard earlier this is a concentration of power in number ten, nevertheless number 11 has nominal responsibility for putting together the budget. it is no secret sajid javid had become known as chancellor in name only. he wa nted known as chancellor in name only. he wanted to be an old—fashioned kind of conservative chancellor who tried to balance the books in a fiscally prudent way. that is not what number ten is looking to do, so the pound has risen quite significantly today on the basis they think the spending ta ps on the basis they think the spending taps can be turned on even stronger during the budget. that will mean higher gdp so the pound is gaining. they think they will be more fiscal stimulus, more spe

it said, "while there is not any jurisdiction by the monarchy or cabinet office over the use of the worddo not intend to use sussex royal." the implication to me is that it is not a very relaxed statement. it's saying, "there's a line, we have not crossed it, but we are choosing not to do that." does that reflect the tone of the negotiations? i think that is an interesting point, and if you look at the update on their website yesterday evening, there were sseveral sections where you could make the same comment, sections where they point out that there was precedent for members of the royal family working separately and representing the queen. i'm not sure what they mean because i cannot think of a direct example. clearly they feel perhaps they have given up more than originally hoped to, and they have been very honest about that, they said they had hoped to have more of a halfway house, but that it wasn't possible. but it is clear what they value the most is their ability to operate autonomously, so giving up things perhaps they had not initially intended to. they are still willing to do

they finally set up a proper room in the cabinet office to coordinate the whole thing, we have a cobraay, no hurry. that is the other thing about it, at least we have some sort of action plan. asjoe least we have some sort of action plan. as joe said, least we have some sort of action plan. asjoe said, part of it is taking doctors and nurses out of retirement. others to change the rules on class sizes, so bigger classes if teachers can't get into school. home working is being talked about, travel restrictions,. about, travel it school. home working is being talked about, travel it couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the people who do care work in hospitals and ca re who do care work in hospitals and care homes, many of whom come outside this country, will not be allowed to be here. there is that as well. on that, we are hearing from a lot of people working in the nhs today on any answers, and a lot of them are saying there isn't the capacity, certainly within the nhs to cope, and finally enough, it came right back to social care. we have people taking up beds who we could use to

cobra is a reference to cabinet office briefing room a. it is not the only place a meeting can take place. >> mr. speaker, it is very sers and they need support and not trite answers like that from their prime minister. time and again communities and lives have been put at risk and the government simply refuses to acknowledge the scale of the problem. does he agree with his honorable friend, membershiply who said the government has done precious little to stop the floods from happening again. >> mr. speaker, let me repeat for benefit of the right honorable government this government has a fantastic record of investing in flood defenses and the reason we can do so. the reason we can put 6.4 billion undpounds and pledge another $4 billion because i am putting it first that you would ruin. >> why then is the government investing less than half of the amount of me on the environment agency of england says is necessary to improve flood defenses across the country. they say $5.6 billion is needed. so far as i'm aware, the government is investing

madam president, madam chief justice, lieutenant governor rogers members of the legislator, cabinet officers, leaders of the kansas strives, honored guests and my fellow captains, it is my high honor to stand before you this evening to report on the progress of my administration and to share my plans for the years ahead i have much to discuss tonight, but before we begin please join me in welcoming back the third first gentleman of the state of kansas, my husband doctor ted dotty (applause). i think last year i introduced him as the long suffering ted dotty and that continues until today, ted still misses his garden we had at the other house and his darkroom but he is adjusting to our new home by adding some personal touches, he has taken an interest in putting this cedar back in cedar crest with the planting of new trees, he also started a vegetable garden and even has his own compost pile. (laughs) and don't any of you go there (laughs). in addition to all of that he continues to practice medicine full-time, so ted and i have settled into life at the governor's residents, in fact it was th
