that is why she took the cabinet office to court and she said they had breached the obligations undera briefings constituted discrimination. he went on to say a failure of inclusion which serve to disempower, to frustrate and to marginalise. katie said she is feeling emotional after the judgment, but she also says she feels sad she had to fight on behalf of herself and also on behalf of many others. the cabinet office in response have said, they are pleased that the court ruled their policy using on—screen british sign language interpreters was lawful during the pandemic and officials point out that i had been over 170 briefings since the pandemic began and only two, they say, were found to be unlawful. katie will get compensation. thank you. amanda pritchard will be the next chief executive of the nhs in england. she is currently nhs england's chief operating officer. she will replace sir simon stevens and is the first woman in the role. a permanent monument in tribute to fallen police officers and staff has been unveiled at the national memorial arboretum. the prince of wales and th

katie rowley was not happy with that, took legal action against the cabinet office for two specific datagn language interpretation today she has won the right to compensation. what did the judge say? mrjustice fordham. he agreed, said third katie rowley you have a justified grievance. on what the government was saying about subtitles, he said that was not good enough, a stereotypical opinion to assume that deaf people can just make do with subtitles. he pointed to the covid briefings in scotland and wales which had on platform british sign language interpreters next to those leaders and the argument for having one in england was a powerful one. crucially, he ruled the government did not break the equality law because the government had submitted legal documentation ahead of the ruling. this raises awareness i guess about the challenges that deaf people sometimes have in getting access to public information that is vital quickly and efficiently. it public information that is vital quickly and efficiently.- public information that is vital quickly and efficiently. it has been the reaction.

and these problems had re—emerged and i had discussions with the cabinet office about the situation andl of us moving to different accommodations. i said maybe, but maybe ijust could move to my dad's farm and we talked about those different options and i talked to people about that. and my wife is kind of ill, but not with the official symptoms, whether or not she's got it. so we had the combination of security problems which meant anyway, we're going to get out. when this emerged and the public realise that one of the most senior people in the government had left lockdown at a time where people were unable to go and see sick relatives, there was enormous public rage. why didn't you just tell the truth at the time? the situation was extremely chaotic. you decided not to tell the truth. you didn't have to give a press conference and tell the stories. that was not at all the original plan. the original plan was, when discussing with the prime minister on saturday and sunday was, given he knew what actually happened, he agreed we should just say nothing about it and the media will say what

repeated security problems at my house, going back to 2019, and i was in discussions with the cabinet officen march about the situation. they had suggested maybe all of us moving into government accommodation. i had said, maybe, but maybe i willjust move them all off into my dad's farm in durham. we talked about those different options. i talked to the pm about that. my wife was kind of ill but not with the kind of official symptoms exactly. has she got it? has she not got it? so then you had the combination of security problems, which meant anyway, we were going to get out. there was... ..enormous public rage. why didn't you just tell the truth at the time? well, the situation was just... it was extremely, um, chaotic situation. the original plan was, when i discussed it with the prime minister on the saturday and sunday was, given he knew what had actually happened, he agreed we should just say nothing about it orjust ignore it. what then happened on the monday is that he suddenly changed his mind and said, we can't stick with the original plan. you're going to have to explain it to people

cabinet office minister michael gove and his journalist wife sarah vine have "agreed to separate", accordingpondent jonathan blake explains. joint statement from michael gove and his wife, sarah vining, was released by the press association news agency in the last few minutes. i'll read you what it has to say in full. it's relatively short, saying michael and there i have agreed to separate and they are in the process of finalising their divorce. it goes on, they will continue to support their two children and they remained close friends. finally, adding the family politely asked for privacy. —— sarah vine. will not be providing any further comment. there are no details as to the circumstances of the couple's separation and the divorce which they are clearly in the process of. but a friend of the couple has told the press association that they have drifted apart, describing it as a difficult and sad decision for michael and sarah after what has been 20 years of marriage. that friend has also quoted that it is entirely amicable separation and there is no one else involved. it goes on to say t

well, you started the cabinet without actually going to meet in the oval office because of covid. >> in. the first time i was invited, i was quarantined because i had been exposed to somebody with covid, so they wheeled me in on a video cart. like, i was on zoom. it was a bunch of people meeting and then my face. but the first time i actually got to go in it was a bipartisan meeting. we were meeting with senators from the other side, and talking about infrastructure, working toward what eventually through all the twists and turns helped get to the deal that the president reached last week. and, it was incredible. i mean, on one level, you know, i'm a cabinet officer, i'm there with the job to do, i'm trying to take notes and think about what i'm going to say and read the room. but there's a part of you that's, like, i'm in the oval office, this is incredible. ( laughter ) and when we got up to leave, i noticed looking over the president's shoulder and i asked him, is that a moon rock? he's got a moon rock in there, just on the bookshelf. he was, like, "yeah!" he showed me the moon ro

doesn't apply to judges and cabinet officers and shouldn't apply to voting rights. it's just -- so foundational and spending money is that foundational. i think the president was wise to stay out of it. let the senate try to fix it themselves. i thought he did in the town hall with don lemon lean into opposing filibuster reform more than he should because this is not the case back in the day my old boss and mentor bill clinton could sit down with grant's old boss and mentor john mccain and get things done. >> two democratic presidents in a row he said this. >> right. so he's not -- this is the problem. the modern republican party didn't have a platform or agenda. you can cut deals with people with an agenda but only to worship donald trump there's not a lot of places that we can work with them. >> yeah. great insights. we appreciate the time. great conversation. >>> coming up -- cnn's gary tuchman heads to the least vaccinated state in the nation. why people in alabama refuse to roll up the sleeves. spots? it's not your dishwasher's fault. simply add finish jetdry 3

doing this particular role has meaning for people, even if they never want to or care to be a cabinet officer or work in transportation, but in whatever world they're in, in their profession, in their community, in their family. that the president of the united states saying somebody like me belongs at the table he's setting in the cabinet is a symbol to which they belong or ought to belong at whatever table they care about. >> what does your appointment and your confirmation say to the world about america? >> well, look, around the world lgbtq equality is uphill in a lot of places. i think it means a lot to be able to see that in what is the leading country by at least many measures in the world has a senior official in this role. i don't mean to overstate it. nor does it represent the end of the journey here in the u.s. or anywhere else. but i hope it's one more piece of evidence that the movement around this country towards equality is part of a bigger story that people can look to as a source of encouragement. >> you said, quote, everything touches transportation, including civil rights.

and these problems re—emerge thousand discussions with the cabinet office about the situation and theyijust left my dads farm and we talked about those different options and i talked to people about that. and my wife is kind of ill, but not with the official symptoms, whether or not she's got it. so we had the combination of, security problems which anyway, we're going to get out. ~ . which anyway, we're going to get out. l , , , . out. when this emerged in the public realise that one _ out. when this emerged in the public realise that one of _ out. when this emerged in the public realise that one of the _ out. when this emerged in the public realise that one of the most - out. when this emerged in the public realise that one of the most senior. realise that one of the most senior people in the government had left lockdown at a time where people were unable to go and see sick relatives, there was an enormous public rage. why didn't you just tell the truth at the time was yellow well, the situation was extremely chaotic. you decided not to tell the truth. you didn't have to give a press

her member, the cabinet office minister michael gove used it 0ffice minister michael gove used it last hitting home in a tweet from the chancellor, who said it has to be pretty clear that there isn't one rule for us and one rule for everybody else. and it's all about symbolism. and the symbolism tomorrow, which is supposed to be freedom day in england, with the lifting of restrictions, is that, actually, on freedom day, the prime minister is going to be self—isolating in chequers. we are going to have this extraordinary situation where, on the day and the week where the government is trying to sell a nuanced message that legal restrictions are almost completely gone but you still need to be cautious, three of the key players, three of the key ministers in the government's response to covid are going to be spending time at home — the prime minister, the health secretary and the chancellor. the symbolism of that is huge. some have dubbed this a day where freedom returns. it won't for these three ministers, because they will be self—isolating. it's also worth just pondering on the fact th

and attorney general as we think ofnk as the top law enforcement officer is a member of the president's cabinet and serves as the pleasure of the president. so how sdoj acts independently the white house is a pretty frequently discussed topic and one that has perhaps varied over time and administrations. and weat really have four terric speakers with us today to address these topics and more. i'm going to introduce them now. since ource focus is on the department, primarily and then its relationship with the white house, let meit start with our former doj officials, and then turn to our former white house counsel. judge michael mukasey served as united states attorney general from 2007 to 2009.fr from 1988 to 2006, judge mukasey served as a judge on the u.s. district court foror the southe district of new york, including as thehe court's chief judge. a graduate of yale law school, judgee mukasey serves as counse to the law firm plimpton. jamie gurelic served as deputy attorney general frame non94 to 1997. shee served as general count as theen department of defense.sh she's also served as a memb

have to go through the department for transport and then up to the department of health and the cabinet officere the app is still being used and they want to not have too low a bar to a people to be able to get out of quarantine because otherwise the whole system starts to crumble. and on the other side of the argument, things are quite interested in these potential services rely on other essential services rely on other essential services and at what point do you decide that other exemptions are needed? mi decide that other exemptions are needed? �* . ~', ., decide that other exemptions are needed? �* . ., ., needed? all right, thanks for now, caroline. caroline _ needed? all right, thanks for now, caroline. caroline davies _ needed? all right, thanks for now, caroline. caroline davies art - caroline. caroline davies art transport correspondent, sounds like check timetables in advance if you are travelling from next week. the scottish government has confirmed that some essential staff working in critical areas who are close contacts for covid cases will no longer be required to self—isolate.

well, again, this is i think we're talking about the ways in which the president supervises his cabinet officers including the attorney general. i mean, the president stands at the top of the pyramid but at the end of the day attorney general garland has the statutory authorities to seek subpoenas or to cause indictments or grand jury subpoenas and the like to go out. so it would be appropriate for the president to give a directive, a policy directive and appropriate for the attorney general to accept it. the attorney general said i'm not going to do it. i'm seeking a subpoena in a media case and the president's decisions are to remove him or to back down. that is all. >> i'm sorry. pardon me. >> the president can't do it himself. >> no. that's -- what would your review be of a attorney general that said i'm not interested in the topic or particular case overall that that is a defensible position for the attorney general to take. >> i think it is often to be a transient position for the attorney general. look, we could phrase it in a different context, think of the bush administration has been r

general to go along. >> i think we're talking about ways in which the president assume vises his cabinet officers, including the attorney general. the president stands at the top of the pyramid. at the end of the day, attorney general garland is the one who had the authority to seek subpoenas, or to cause indictments or grand jury subpoenas to go out. so it would be appropriate to give a directive like this and for the attorney general to semiit. he said no, i won't do it. i'm seeking a subpoena in a case. the decision is to remove him or to back down. that's all. >> the president can't do it himself. >> in that sense, true. what would your view be of the attorney general who that, i'm not interested in your view on the topic, or overall. is it your view that is a defensible position for the attorney general to take? >> look. we could phrase it in a different context. think of the bush administration. it has been reported that president bush was prepared with jim comey. the president had the ability to give the authorization, you know, which he had been doing. even with the office of legal counse

he would come back to the staff cabinet and say see you in the office in two hours and he meant it.lt work but it was a privilege. i can't imagine complaining about the hostile or difficult work environment i had. if you can't do the job, there's plenty of people that would love to replace you. resign. >> martha: absolutely. i mean, the privilege to work in the white house, leslie and to serve the vice president and the president, that's the way that everybody has to approach jobs like these. one of the reasons this story has gotten a lot of traction are the sort of snippy statements that we see the vice president saying to reporters now and then and so because of all of that, i think it makes it's not too difficult to imagine that gee, i wonder what it's like to work there. >> she's the first female vice president. second, there's people on the right and mark, i command -- >> martha: what is the relevance of that? >> that you and i actually agree on something, mark, which is, you know, there's people left to the right and right to the left that will condemn an administration for an
