i do not set hours ina science experiments.inishing. i just let the boys go at their own pace. i'm just just let the boys go at their own pace. i'mjust wondering... over your shoulder, the cat takes part in home—schooling as well? one last quick question to you, elizabeth. how important is it to have quite a rigid sort of disciplined structure in terms of home—schooling?” rigid sort of disciplined structure in terms of home-schooling? i think it is really important to understand home—schooling offers a different kind of education. some children will appreciate more structure, more similarto will appreciate more structure, more similar to conventional school, other children and families will be able to work at a different pace and do it ina able to work at a different pace and do it in a way that works for them. the bonus of home—schooling is the flexibility it affords that you cannot really replicate in a mainstream school, i suppose. great to talk to you, really informative, interesting discussion. dr elizabeth kilbey, child c

you have to quarantine for ten days or two weeks is going to be a very big impact on public services ina very a very big impact on public services in a very big impact on the economy. normally you could harm to yourself for a couple of weeks when you have a cold in november. looking at different ways they might be able to try and reduce that when the winter comes. this is an obvious way of doing it. i do think it comes with some risk as you say because we don't really know for sure how long if you tested positive was it six months ago do you have to quarantine or was itjust last week? it's not clear i think perhaps in the end it's going to be at ministerial decisions to make. coincides with ministers today new roll—out for coronavirus and flu which can give results in 90 minutes. it also i suppose, it raises the prospect is the paper since they are, of immunity passports. gosh, it seems like eons ago that that was first discussed. obviously, this would be a huge breakthrough if they were able to deliver at wide scale these 90 minute test. and the people with immunity passports. we have t

you have months ago ina not write him off.a course to prisoners of the base which donald trump and joe biden both to do. actually thought that donald trump could pick up some export there because joe that donald trump could pick up some export there becausejoe biden has shown that he is not exactly the statesman that he was when he was vice president to barack 0bama. almost a decade older and just has not been as fast and is click on the campaign trailas many not been as fast and is click on the campaign trail as many would like to have seen. so i think that donald trump may well have some cars up

you still have a third of young people ina still have a third of young people in a normal year when thethe sit exams, a forgotten third of young people who came out with a grade three, a great one and it's not deemed a standard pass. the government to talked about levelling up need to have a look at what we can do particularly for the constituencies they've picked up now that feel let down by education and what we can do in terms of qualifications and curriculum so every young person comes out with the dignity and feeling your education has prepared them to take place as a citizen. thank you very much. a commercial flight has left israel bound for the united arab emirates — it's a first, after the two countries agreed to normalise relations. the word peace has been freshly painted on the side of the plane ? in arabic, english and hebrew. an israeli delegation is onboard, as well as us aides who helped broker the agreement. one of which is president trump's son—in—law. —— president trump's son in law and middle east adviserjared kushner. our correspondent, sameer hashmi, is in dubai. it

i think this is a really good step to have that in place so that any vaccine that becomes available inase three trial, it would have access to the public. but when? this is the $6 million question, when might any of them be ready?“ we really look at the front runners, including the chinese vaccines, they are in the phase three trials. we have eight vaccines in phase three trials, the last trial before any vaccine can be introduced. those trials take 3—6 months. depending on the infection rate in the country and the majority of these phase three trials are being developed in places where the infection is high, so places where the infection is high, so therefore we are hoping that that time will be squeezed relatively quickly. in the worst case scenario, in orderfor the vaccine quickly. in the worst case scenario, in order for the vaccine to be available in november, that would be the time presented to the regulatory parties. so we are aiming for the end of this year to roll out the processes . end of this year to roll out the processes. could it turned out that some vaccines work better

so, ina way, people of hong kong, ultimately.of this tit—for—tat sanctioning between the two capitals, hong kong is going to get squashed if it is not careful, couldn't it? we could be caught between a rock and a hard place. the sanctions, personally speaking, were slightly surprising, because i have a lwa ys slightly surprising, because i have always assumed it is just a war of words in diplomacy and they don't necessarily easily translate interactions. washington has decided to do it. it tells you how fast the us, china relationship has been deteriorating, and hong kong is caught in the middle. and we will see what takes us next, but things just might get worse in hong kong. thank you. the black box and cockpit voice recorder have been recovered from an indian passenger aircraft that crashed in kerala, killing more than twenty people, including both pilots. 200 people were on board when the plane skidded off the runway and broke in two. more than 120 people are in hospital. the boeing 737 passengerjet came from dubai and was re

some might say on hubris, from the president of the united states who, today, a very short while ago inay short while ago in a white house briefing said that multinational pharmaceutical companies, johnson &johnson, pharmaceutical companies, johnson & johnson, the pharmaceutical companies, johnson &johnson, the big american company among them we re american company among them were doing, as he put it, a fantasticjob. were doing, as he put it, a fantastic job. that they were getting very close to developing a vaccine, the president said and we might have one available long before the end of the year, said mr donald trump. dr anthony fauci, for his part, said that he doesn't expect a vaccine to be available before the end of this year. what the two men do agree on, mike, is that once a vaccine is developed then tens of millions of doses of it could be developed very quickly, within months in fact, because pharmaceutical companies here are being urged to produce, in mass, the vaccines that they are developing just in case one does prove to work and then it can be shipped out almost immediat

clearly ina home, work from home.ood production environment you cannot do that so we did ask and renew very consciously we were asking our people to put themselves at the forefront of the need to feed communities. so one of the things we did as we make sure that we paid a bonus to our people who came into work because they were doing just that. at many stages of the supply chain, there have been risks to the people working to keep the rest of us fed. in food production, they have been particularly vulnerable, with significant outbreaks of the virus reported in food factories and processing plants where staff have long periods spent working closely together indoors. farmers have been determined to stay afloat, safely. this is one of our fields of mint. this is a spanish variety that we grow. morning. good orders today? this is valley produce in berks. here, they grow, pick and pack vegetables and herbs for supermarkets and the hospitality industry. the majority of our staff are seasonal workers from various countries,

ifi can jump in, i think it has been a time when science has been put ina time when science has beenight and scientists have had the chance to communicate in a way that is digestible to the general public and it is kind of i think specifically, my friends have started talking about pcr is an everyday terminology and it is that awareness that has been able to be given to the general public at a time like this has been quite positive. just talking about dealing with the unexpected, i want to put to both of you the idea, you think, as experts, it was possible to see a pandemic coming? do you think they should have been more done to listen to voices from science? a sort of reacted a bit when you described us as extras because most of us do not feel like an expert most of the time. these are massive global problems with lots of different types of signs needed to solve them. while we may be more expert insight than the average person, actually these are really complex problems that we need to work together to solve them. perhaps we need to be more comfortable with uncertainty which involve

, as well as, and biden have said this himself multiple times, have rescued him time and time again inaain in a lot of very tight races, and some of his most ardent supporters either before his race or president. now was the time to actually showcase just how much he cares about what black women have put in. 0n what black women have put in. on that point, there is an analysis that says what happened in 2016 was down to hillary clinton's perceived unpopularity as a candidate. clearly, there were plenty of voters so hollande by barack 0bama that they voted for donald trump. aren't those voters in november going to be even more scared of a black woman? there are voters in 2016 who stayed home, and a lot of what we saw wasn't necessarily voters who were excited about barack 0bama and voted for him twice. many of those voters didn't vote at all. one of the biggest things this time and the biggest challenge for the democratic party is barack 0bama was a once—in—a—lifetime. you only get a lot of that magic coming together in a very short order. it typically doesn't happen. joe biden is not bar

universities are promising flexibility and understanding, ina promising flexibility and understandingchallenges. the real test tomorrow will be how big the changes are and how many students they affect. our political correspondent jonathan blake is at westminster. is the last minute change is likely to be enough? the timing tells us a lot about the pressure the government was under to make a change and the concern in government that a similar situation to the one we saw in scotland could unfold in england after exam results come out. and that's why they've put in a process for appeals. but we've heard there are problems with that. labour are criticising the inclusion of mock results as flawed as schools do them in different ways and some don't even have a mock exam grade to go on. the government says this is a safety net for a small number of pupils. with that, i think, safety net for a small number of pupils. with that, ithink, becomes an acknowledgement that the system will be fairand an acknowledgement that the system will be fair and most students will get the grade they would hav

the dominance of hamilton and his team—mate bottas reinforcing the sense that they are ina reinforcing that they are in a league of their own the season compared to the rival teams. but of course the fact is that had max verstappen not made that late pit stop to change tyres in a successful bid to secure a point for the first to slap, then he would have won this race. he would have got past lewis hamilton and the british driver would have been denied. as it was, a course record took that decision and hamilton won with just a few seconds to spare. next weekend, of course, silverstone hosts another grand prix, the 70th anniversary race. back—to—back races then for this famous old circuit after one of the most dramatic finishes that it seen in years. the only disappointment, of course, there were no fancier to witness it. there was a very different look to the resumption of the superleague season, minus a team in the shape of toronto wolfpack as a consequence of the pandemic. st helens made a winning start beating catala ns dragons in the first game to be played in 140 days because of the

ina in a country long battered by shock, a fresh, natural disaster has seized lebanon.ned long here at the port. the cause, a powder keg of u nsta ble at the port. the cause, a powder keg of unstable chemicals, left to rot in the very heart of beirut. the shock could be felt in cyprus, syria and israel. the 2500 tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertiliser was the equivalent of a one kilotonne blast. this was lebanon's 9/11, they say. a catastrophe that shook the entire country. the small fire at the port had drawn people to the windows to watch. when the chemicals exploded, they received the brunt. more than 4000 have been hurt and lebanon is traumatised. it is a day they will never forget, especially for this bride. in this small town, the buildings still stand, but the people are shuttered. jessy dawood died along with colleagues. she was 31 years old, and leaves behind her two—year old, and leaves behind her two—year old, her husband. the work is to save lives of people, take care of people. this is what she did. she was a hero. she died on her duty. she was saving people,

and we spoke to ina fried she's the chief technology correspondent fanny's platform access in san francisco we also even microsoft takeover talks u.s. operations would put an end to the security concerns the administration has indicated in the last 24 hours that it doesn't solve their concerns i'm not really sure what their concerns are that a deal wouldn't solve but microsoft has apparently and tick-tock have been in talks they thought they had a deal they thought they had a deal that would please the white house with by selling all of its stake perhaps some of its non china investors remaining investors and microsoft taking over which would seem to solve the security issues but that doesn't appear to be enough so it's unclear what the trumpet ministration once it's unclear what their main issue is if it's a national security issue with microsoft owning it's all that it's really puzzling to be honest and i've covered tech for 20 years i think there's up to 3 concerns that the one that's being voiced is the national concern security concern that data of americans could end up in chinese han

to do that by this margin ina a champion. sport where no one has really dominated as yet, do you feel that antonio felix da costa could become the lewis hamilton of formula e?i become the lewis hamilton of formula e? i don't think so. the design is to try to make things up as much as they can and really get organised chaos going on on the racetrack with the drivers and amazing racing and all that, so i think it is hard for anyone to dominate. of course i think in the course of the season the stronger team, stronger driver, will come out on top, but every season will come out on top, but every seasonit will come out on top, but every season it has been down to the wire to the last race. this year because there is not to prepare ourselves well and i think we did a betterjob than the people around us and we we re than the people around us and we were so than the people around us and we were so dominant that we were able to break the curse a little bit but iam to break the curse a little bit but i am expecting very tough competit

i understand it ina how a teacherfeels.me goes on. the guidance we have put in place for the start of the school term has been very carefully worked through and informed by scientific advice. when i was in west powder high school this morning, i was extremely impressed by a range of things, the basic arrangements they have in place from welcoming people bank, checking well—being, staggered lunch breaks, clear signage everywhere, including to help teachers keep a physical distance from each other and pupils, through to the use of technology, to facilitate the new way of working in school but also to support any young person who may be off school if they have symptoms of covid and are self isolating. we will continue to work with and support teachers to feel confident as they go back in the arrangements that are in place. we will make sure there is surveillance in place. if there are other things teachers say to us to help build that reassurance, we will continue to consider that carefully. overall, the importance of getting

they see this spike in cases in countries around the world like croatia which we will come to ina minutech we will come to in a minute, they have to act, and when it eases down they say, ok, well, it's not clear to go. they don't give people very long. i suppose people who are currently in portugal and were planning to come home this weekend may now want to delay their return because if they come home before four o'clock on saturday morning, they are going to do phase two weeks of quarantine, and if they come back after that, they will be ok. even worse news for croatia, of course, people in croatia, of course, people in croatia, 20,000 people in croatia now have to get back before 4am on saturday morning otherwise they will face two weeks of quarantine as well, and i'm told, anyway, that's going to be difficult indeed, because tomorrow, the only flights out of croatia are oats of cigarettes, they are costing a fortune, and as the grant is a long way away, it's another lovely pupil country. jessica, we'lljust bring you income as well as croatia as trinidad and tobago and austria as well,
