how many checks we re port of holyhead.de at the port of holyhead on that day? it is important because i know the work that people do on trafficking through that port. he raises a very important point, i cannot tell the house right now that information, that is subject to the investigation. i will come back to him directly myself as the investigation unfolds with the specific information he has asked for, but i can assure him that everything will be done in terms of checks coming through holyhead. both frontbenchers and my honourable friend for thurrock have spoken for the entire country of this horrific event, but isn't one of the most specific lessons that the existing international conventions simply do not work any more because of events of recent years. we this in the med iteration —— mediterranean and other areas, so iteration —— mediterranean and other areas, so will she use her past experience along with other members of the government to try to persuade the united nations to modernise and introduce a new convention

, as to whether or not they will be subject to party control at holyhead because to avoid cues of 500ching three miles long, the movement of goods through holyhead has to remain seamless and unhindered as it is today. i think the noble lord makes an important point and he can be assured that we are working hard to make sure that there are a zero queues at holyhead and we want arrangements to be as seamless as possible so that the transport of perishable goods goes forward without any hindrance. labour asked about the implemention or transition period for the new deal. given that originally we asked for two years, i think the government in the first time settled for 20 months and it now looks as if the date in december next year is true, it would only actually be 12, 14 months to put all of this into place. given that holyhead is our second busiest port, how does the noble lord minister expect that all the new checks on welfare of animals and perishable goods, on customs, on the ap will all be implemented by december of next year? the noble lady is correct that the end of december 2020

and they can use between holyhead and the location that the lorry was found, to see exactly what itsterglade industrial park and what it was doing there, what else they might be able to find at the industrial park in grays. 39 people dead, including a teenager, that is an massive investigation they have got on their hands. absolutely shocking. lisa, thank you very much and, as lisa was saying, we are expecting a statement from essex police at some stage in the morning. improving survival rates for extremely premature babies mean it is now possible to save the lives of some of those born at 22 weeks, according to new guidance. advice until now had been to only give life saving treatment to those born at 23 weeks. around 3,000 babaies are born extremely premature in the uk every year. improving survival rates for extremely premature babies mean it is now possible to save the lives of some of those born at 22 weeks, according to new guidance. advice until now had been to only give life saving treatment to those born at 23 weeks. around 3,000 babaies are born extremely premature in the u

via dublin by the dublin holyhead route it would be more conventional for such a lorry to come in via col a and then across to dover read into that what you will was the driver intending to try to avoid the very stringent security measures that are in place on the dover kalai crossing it seems that the route if you want to take the long way around would be shareable goal 'd of interoffice lair in southern ireland and then by road up to dublin and then by double from by sea across the irish sea from dublin into the port of holyhead in north wales and then down here to london it would add at least a day on to that journey the scene and i would step out and i like the camera around just show you this is eastern avenue you the police cordon is blocking the end of the road there are police cars and plain unmarked police cars as well that the green fence that you can see the screen masks to the area where the lorry is which is about another 100 meters behind that screen and there is a 2nd screen. between the lorry and us so 2 screens between before the lorry we can see through the gap there

police say the tractor unit — the front part of the lorry — entered the country via holyhead in walesory has echoes of a tragedy 19 years ago on when 58 chinese migrants were suffocated to death in this lorry at dover in the south east of england. then, it took months for some of them to be identified. and that truck had also arrived from zeebrugge in belgium. since then, checks at major ports have been increased, but smaller ports, like purfleet and zeebrugge, are more vulnerable to people smuggling. this is an official from the uk's immigration services union explaining why. we don't have the facility to check the vast majority of freight which arrives in the uk, whether it moves or not. but it certainly is the case that disconnected freight containers, which are then transported separately, are somewhat less likely, unless we have intelligence to the contrary that suggest we need to do that. but we don't have the facilities and we don't have the space to check every single arriving container in the uk. that is hundreds of thousands of pieces every day. and what about the security a

some reason police know it took and want the irish sea crossing which is into the welsh port of holyhead and they're looking at why that is but the main thrust of the investigation as you say at the moment is to try to identify those 39 victims inside the back of that truck and interview the 25 year old drive a truck or the 25 year old man who's been arrested in connection with this truck to see whether he has any further details that can shed some light on what exactly has happened here and paul apart from the ethics police calling this an absolute tragedy what are the reaction has there been anything into this. well in a country where brics it has dominated the headlines for days and weeks on end today the brics it noise was interrupted and it fell silent it was a prime minister's question session the regular weekly session of prime minister questions in which prime minister boris johnson broke from the normal rumbustious campaigning and exchanges with the opposition to pay tribute to both the emergency services and express his shock at the discovery here in essex the system. and the w

the front part of the lorry crossed at holyhead from northern ireland and picked up the trailer at purfleet thames just after 1am. half an hour later, the driver stopped his truck at an industrial park in grays, essex a short distance away. he has told police he opened the trailer to get his paperwork and discovered the 39 bodies inside. lets go then to zeebrugge and speak to the bbc‘s anna holligan. the suggestion is that the means used to detect people that are hidden in lorries is not as good as it might be at other ports like calais. precisely, and that is kind of business as usual at least on the surface here. about 4000 containers are travelling from here in belgium to the uk every single day. and it is also a hotspot for people smugglers as we know and as the authorities have known from at least 2016, so much so that the uk has a permanent presence here, to border force teams, and we know that this is where they came from, so the harbour master has been given a bit more detail about the type of security they have in place year, so lorries coming into the sport are filmed and the driv

police believe the lorry came from bulgaria and entered the country via holyhead in north wales on saturdaydesperate enough to risk their lives, crossing the busiest shipping lane in the world. they are coming in record numbers in small boats. it is not confirmed that those who died today were migrants, but since thejungle camp was closed in calais and security was increased at dover, smugglers have found new routes. as well as boats, migrants continue to be found in lorries. today's discovery is the worst tragedy of this kind in recent years. the whole house will be shocked by the appalling news that 39 bodies have been discovered in a lorry container in essex. this is an unimaginable tragedy and truly heartbreaking. i know that the thoughts and prayers of all members are with those who lost their lives and their loved ones. can we just think for a moment of what it must have been like for those 39 people, obviously in a desperate and dangerous situation, for their lives to end, suffocated to death in a container? this is an unbelievable human tragedy that happened in our country at this t
