education is prioritised for children and young people. yeah, we're working closely with the government — and particularly the department for education, the best way to get those messages out. and our big ask is that it's talked about and it's amplified in messaging to school leaders, both empowering them and enabling them, and making them feel that is the right thing to do to keep children active, rather than, because of safety concerns and issues of transmission, that they should not be engaging children in sport and physical activity. john watson there with the questions. so there's been plenty of support for the exemption of youth and non—elite sport from the upcoming lockdown, but some in the medical profession are being more guarded with their assessment. if you could bottle the health benefits of exercise, you would have no pill more powerful than that. exercise is fantastic on so many levels, and we all love it. but the problem is that along with it goes all of the overhead of contact with your friends, contact on the bus to get to the match, contact in the sporting venue, contact among the fans who come to see people play or to w

so of direction anyway that politics is taken isn't it the department for education categorized anti-capitalism as an extreme political stance and and dissuaded on a dissuaded of people say they can't use any sort of lit show like that in education and so there's this real sort of narron of the of the blinkered way that we look at the world which i think is the complete wrong way to be looking at the moment amount of problems that we're in an amount of serious structural difficulties that we're in i think now more than ever we need like serious broad thinking of how we can create a more sustainable. a more stable society and you talk in your latter on and also in your music about kind of community and unity more generally and drink a lot of the kind of issues where it is because of a kind of thought to right commitment to the individual and that's the reason why the government maybe doesn't seem use it as a priority it doesn't see the funding of public services as a priority there is that this general sort of mindset i don't know whether we can call it mere liberalism or whether it has some eve

so if you're in the department for education or whatever, give them your files, show them the balls thatp in terms of which ones they may want to kill, or they may want to keep. jack kingston, it's very interesting you say that cos you'll have seen the report that i've seen that the administrator of the general services administration, emily murphy, is right now refusing to give to the biden transition team the paperwork necessary to get basic funding, office space, access to officials to begin the process of a transition. this at a time when leaders across the world have recognised joe biden as the president—elect. when, as i'vejust said, the former president george w bush has acknowledged it. people across the united states are waking up to the fact this isn't going to be reversed. at some point very soon, if the trump team don't get ready to make this transition happen, it won't happen. there'll be plenty of time, just as there was for george bush when the clinton administration stayed in the office until mid—december. george bush wasn't allowed to start moving in. you know, the media

i think there is a bit of catch—up going there, but we have been in discussions with the department for education oui’ and concerns weary of saving from our members and putting those suggestions are to government. you mention are comments on consent remembers and we have heard concerns from the unions, who are perhaps a bit more concerned about attendance, the number of secondary pupils who are getting a bite is on the safety of staff as well. what do you say to them? yes, be absolutely share those concerns. we also represent school leaders so we have a responsibility to represent her members' views as well and what we're hearing from them is that we need to get that balance right. we need to keep children in school if we possibly can, but we need to make sure we have all of those safety measures in place and prepare to move to a different situation if we need to, like rotors for example. we also know that one of the thing school beaters are singular clearly is that they need more financial support —— school leaders, need more financial support to put the safety measures in and they're not gettin
