on tuesday, the lid of the commons, jacob rees—mogg said mps should lead by example and returned to works of the speaker. nothing in the leader's announcement changes the position on social distancing in and around the chamber and throughout the parliament. the only changes to the guidance from public health england can actually do that, i think we're all agreed on that. and so lindsay hoyle want if mps had to vote in person rather than online, it could take up to one hour each time stop labous said jacob rees—mogg was contradicting the government's an advice to work from home if possible. what the leader has done is to further confuse the message, i'm sorry to say, that home, stay alert, to what? come in on monday, coming on wednesday? it's like a commons hokey cookie. jacob rees-mogg said the government because i could but was if you need to get work, you must go to work. and the virtual parliament was ineffective. we have no flex ability of questions, the questions are all listed in advance. nobility for people to come in and join the debate, no cross cutting of debate, no ability to

jacob rees mogg was unpersuaded.n food standards. i have been informed that there is a number of members, a small number of members, who have inadvertently cast their votes by electronic means in the opposite way to the way in which they had intended to vote. i am informed that their use of technology was not quite as good as they felt that it ought to be. and that a few members have made a mistake. ayes, noes. noes, ayes. it's not as easy as it looks. no wonder the chancellor, rishi sunak, was among the accidental rebels who voted the wrong way. perhaps he had other things on his mind. that's it for the week in parliament. thank you for watching. i hope you canjoin alicia mccarthy on bbc parliament at eleven o'clock on monday evening for the latest from westminster. from me, david cornock, bye for now. hello. temperatures are set to climb over the next few days, peaking around the middle of the week with highs of 26 or 27 degrees in the south. a lot of dry weather as well, but the further north and west you are acro

jacob rees—mogg in particular on social media jumped to his defence saying this was not appropriate toying this was not appropriate to politicise thism is appropriate to politicise it because there are tens of thousands of people across the country who have been struggling with childcare who may well have had coronavirus or coronavirus symptoms or been otherwise unwell who have not gone out of their way to drive 260 miles to get help. there are grandparents and other members of extended families who would be willing to help with childcare for many, many people. and i think as the observer says in its editorial in tomorrow morning bonsai paper, people have not been able to be at the side of their love ones as they die, they have not been able to go to funerals. —— tomorrow morning's paper. a lot of people have been serving and the point they make or an extract from that editorial inside the paper, it is a disgraceful breach that goes to the heart of the credibly of the government's pandemic responds. and i think it puts the government already in something of a shambles in an even worse

jacob rees—mogg.er. but for now from me, alicia mccarthy, goodbye. hello there. some overnight rain for parts of northern ireland in western britain will continue eastwards through the day. in fact we could see a few sharp showers developing more than persistent rain as it comes into the south—east, potentially thundery downpours here, torrential downpours before it clears away. righteous quys before it clears away. righteous guys follow where we could get damp and foggy weather for much of the day. because we have changed the air across the uk, it won't be as warm. still warm enough strong may sunshine. there is more change of foot as we go through thursday night into friday, you can see this deep area of low pressure and seasonably area of low pressure and seasonably area of low pressure and seasonably area of low pressure will wind itself up the windy weather is due on friday and some rain, to the north—west highlands will see most of the rain but we will notice a much cooler feel, of the rain but

cassie, let us talk about the jacob rees—mogg response, in the table, it was just after the prime thedemocrat mp, he was questioning whether it was wise before mps to come back physically, many more of them from the 2nd ofjune after the recess. do you think it is the most effective way to hold the government to account by being here physically? no, i don't think it is the most effective way. it is the case that things are a bit different now, but they are different for everybody in every workplace. in every workplace we are having to make pace changes. two things i'm hugely concerned about is the mps are shielding, who are ina about is the mps are shielding, who are in a medical category he means that they cannot or should not be... but it was said that there should be special arrangements and they are looking for rearrangements and reassu ra nces of looking for rearrangements and reassurances of that. he also contradicted himself on that when he spoke to gavin robinson about it. i am concerned that there is nothing in place for those mps. but is concerned think. the other issue is th

jacob rees mogg saying he wa nts to account. ing he wants to see mps back but social distancing rules will still be observed. lots of mps staff were not be encouraged to come back to the house of commons, they can work from home. you will have a limit of 50 mps in the chamber at any one time, so mps in the chamber at any one time, so they can stay two metres apart. but some people in parliament think this is not a good idea at all. ian blackford, the snp leader in westminster described it as insane as some people feel you cannot maintain good social distancing measures over the road and it sets a bad example for mps to travel potentially via public transport to westminster and it disadvantages those mps whose constituencies are further from westminster. those mps whose constituencies are furtherfrom westminster. much easierfor them to drive furtherfrom westminster. much easier for them to drive from their constituencies back to parliament. but it is up to the government, essentially, as to whether they want to extend this arrange

one that is jacob rees—mogg in the common's saying that mps should return to comment on the 2nd ofjuneuestioning from jo, the wit there is more than there is going to be testing and tracing by the 1st ofjune. yes, that is confirmed by boris johnson. that as you say, that sort of test and tracing system will be in place by the 1st ofjune. of course, that is also the day that government ministers would like to see primary schools prior primarily reopen, to allow certain sets of people to go back and start again picking up with their education. it had been one of their education. it had been one of the criteria that have been put forward subtly by the labour party and also by the unions, that sets them had to be not only up and running, but also embedded. it will be interesting to see where those conversations go now in terms of that discussion around schools and whether or not it is safe for pupils to return. just, more broadly, on the style of the day put p and q, it was a much punchier performance by the prime minister last week, where he appeared a little tenets and a little reluctant

today, the leader of the house, jacob rees—mogg, suggest that he did not think he would have to be renewingliament usually should muh but there are going to be concerns or whether it estate for everybody to come back because it's notjust mps who work on the parliamentary estate. it is also a lot of staff and make the building run and already this evening, the labour trust team has tweeted to say that they are respecting parliament to return to business as usual in the next few weeks —— saying parliament will return to business flies in the face of the public guidance. we will have to see what comes of that. 0k, helen thank you for that update. the world health organisation says that the americas are now driving the pandemic, and that some countries there failed to take its warnings about the disease seriously. it was commenting on leaders in brazil and the us playing down the threat of the virus. brazil's president has ordered beauty parlours, gyms and barber shops to reopen, saying they're essential services, despite the number of deaths there continuing to rise. in south korea, more than

jacob rees—mogg says this is parliament leading by example because they are telling people to get thet to work from home. but labor says they are setting a bad example because the guidance from governments as the advice is that home if you can —— labour, parliamentary staff as well as mps are looking forward to when it will be safe to return. we will be speaking to grant shapps, the transport secretary at 7:30am. if you have questions about some of the things he was talking to then you can things he was talking to then you ca n co nta ct things he was talking to then you can contact us at bbc breakfast online. plenty of time to ask your questions. and tell us your concerns oi’ questions. and tell us your concerns or things you want clarity on. millions of self—employed people whose businesses have been affected by coronavirus can apply for government grants from today. the scheme would see people have money in their account six days, it is pa rt in their account six days, it is part of the fellow scheme extended into october. —— furlough scheme. the usa's leading infectious disease ex

conservative mp and leader of the house of commons jacob rees mogg says mps should go back to work in? we have got to have a government thatis we have got to have a government that is responsible for what it is doing. if they are back at work, they can be held to account by the opposition. that is crucial, yes. what about you, kate, do you need them to set an example?” what about you, kate, do you need them to set an example? i think if they are expecting the rest of the country to go back to work and put themselves in danger, then they should also follow suit, really.” suppose they might say, we have been working, but working from home. thank you, kate, i wish you all the very best. andrew, thank you, and elizabeth. now it is time for a look at the weather. it was a chilly start to the day, and most of us remaining cool for this time of the year. there will be a few showers, particularly in the north—east. some of those showers in the north east of scotland and in the north east of scotland and in the north east of scotland and in the north east of england over high ground could be w

the feeling is if people are being asked to get back to work, jacob rees mogg saying why should mps bek you very much. just to tell you that later in this half hour i hope to speak to professor hugh pennington and that test, track and trace system and he will explain more about the science behind that. and the whole topic of schools also up for discussion this afternoon. but first the economic impact of the virus. the engineering giant, rolls royce, is to cut 9,000 jobs — almost a fifth of its workforce — because of the impact of coronavirus on the aviation industry. the firm says it's consulting with unions about where the jobs will go and whether factories need to close, but many of the job cuts are expected to be in the uk. our business correspondent simon gompertz reports. engines powering airbus and boeing planes — a pinnacle of british manufacturing, now in crisis because the planes themselves aren't flying. thejobs, many in derby, are some of the most skilled and highly prized. though this is an international company, the heaviest blow will fall here. here in derby we understand

jacob rees—mogg announced that they are not planning to renew this virtual way of working potentiallyt it would be allowed to return and you would not have more than 50 mps in the chamber at any one time so the goods have a two metre distance, there would be able to system in place. at 80 metre distance in the lobbies as well. it would use a system of —— two metres. one mp can't be there for a boat —— vote, they have a member of the opposition party also absent themselves from the voter to reflect themselves from the voter to reflect the voice of the house of commons. a lot of mps staff not working in buildings of their —— don'tjust work there, their staff do, they would not be encouraged to come back and would continue to work from home. whilst there are definitely conservative mps that think the virtual voting and virtual parliamentary system has not been a success , parliamentary system has not been a success, there are mps that actually think it would be madness to try and move back to a physical way of working more than is happening at the moment. people in the snp you parliament
