is outlining just. stats, it is quite a shocker that jeremy hunt is outlining justm is, andl jeremyeople are already becoming more aware of their rights and that is a good thing too. and there are more lawyers now that are willing to help them and i'm not saying that the lawyers did anything wrong in doing that but people have the absolute right to legal representation and lures of the right reps and people for whatever the cause they feeljustified. and i think it permits a very valid point that we are in litigation it costs more to take the doctors there doing the job, and more to take the doctors there doing thejob, and fairenough, more to take the doctors there doing the job, and fair enough, hats off tojeremy hunt, he also have to think in the same article that he reveals that he still waiting for three years now for hospitals to give him reliable data on avoidable deaths, hundreds of people die unnecessarily and hospitals in the hospital authority is still not giving them the evidence that he thinks they should be giving him to explain why this does happen. this because she's d

jeremy hunt, what you think of your collea g u es hunt, what you think of your colleagues saying thatr colleagues saying that? i would not have use those words. and rosais not have use those words. and rosa is a very good example of two issues, the first is obviously, she wants to get back to work and we needed to get back to work but secondly, anthony who is president trump a equivalent of chris with the, although they seem to have fallen out. run 50% of them are from those who have no symptoms. 50%. so you want to be testing people like resident as well, people working in hospitals are to be tested every week. if you have these precious in the system, that is never going to happen, so i think laura is right say that the government deserves credit for doubling the testing capacity over the summer in doubling it again, but we really have to sort these issues. what you think is going on? at the start of this, you're one of the people out there though saying very loudly from your kitchen rather than in the studio in westminster, you are saying repeatedly that the government had to get o

and to give one other example, to name an unlikely quartet, conservatives like william hague and jeremy huntblair and gordon brown from, i think about may of this year have been calling for a ramping up of testing, a big politicalfigure in charge of a department solely responsible for this, with clear lines of accountability, and instead you have pulling of levers and nothing happens, contact signed, nothing happens, different agencies involved, and that fracturing of delivery is, i think, an issue which is deeply political. so there are two sides, the politics and the science. just a last thought on this. do you think that perhaps as the southern hemisphere looks forward to some easing of infections, is there anything they can learn from the northern hemisphere's experience during the summer of maybe how not to do it to buy themselves some time before winter returns in 2021? that to me is obvious, isn't it? do not work on the assumption that when infection rates fall, they are not going to start rising again when people spend more time indoors and to prepare during the lull for that increas

jeremy hunt has already written and also, the organisation for midwives have said that hospital trustshave watered down these rules already, but it seems that's not been happening, and i find that really distressing. the other covid—19 story that is particularly pertinent tonight is on the sunday telegraph, john, millions at most risk may be told to stay at home again, which i suppose is imaginable because we are now heading toward, on monday, the rule of six in most parts of the country in one form or another. yes, and when that was announced, i did wonder, it did cross my mind as to why shielding wasn't being brought back for the most vulnerable people. imean back for the most vulnerable people. i mean come i looked at the government website and it says that actually the level of prevalence of the virus is not sufficient to warrant that come about, i mean, clearly, this is something that has got to be kept under review. i suspect the government's party is right in which it has to stop the spread of virus in the general population as much as i can, and if that gets above a certain lev

when jeremy hunt was foreign secretary, i understand he placed her under a diplomatic protection status what does that give her? that is exactly right,. what does that give her? that is exactly right, . it's what does that give her? that is exactly right,. it's a fairly part —— microbes good part of international law but any abuse are treated as abuses by the british straight. and once it's invoked you cannot un—invoke it so it means it is much harderfor the iranian authorities to refuse access or they can't refuse for her to be visited and that is why they rethought this court case. is that even recognised by tehran? they don't recognise it, they don't get a choice. the logic of it is there is a dispute mechanism to try to resolve the dispute and if that fails or goes to court. we have been pushing the government. part of what the discussions have been is to see the invoke the second court case. we need to stand up. nazanin, her sentence began in 2016, she is due for release next spring. how do you feel about the certainty of that, that she will be released? there is no certainty at al

but it is something that jeremy hunt and tony blair have been calling forfor some time jeremy hunt andbeen trying to book a test and you have been given the option of going miles from home, let us know your situation on social media this morning. from today, people in scotland will have different travel quarantine rules from the rest of the uk. scottish holidaymakers returning from greece will now have to self—isolate for 14 days after new measures came in this morning. in wales, travellers returning from the greek island of zakynthos are also required to isolate. howeverfor england and northern ireland, greece is still exempt from the quarantine list. let‘s speak to our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, who is at glasgow airport this morning. lorna, how have holidaymakers been reacting to the new quarantine rules there? it will be interesting to see. good morning. there was one flight arriving here at glasgow airport that touched down a couple of hours before the 4am quarantine deadline kicked in which sees greece come the latest holiday hot spot to be added to that quarantine lis

jeremy hunt. a&e waiting rooms, patients willdie. i crowded a&e waiting rooms, patients will die. i welcome these changes. cani will die. i welcome these changes. can i ask him specifically about sepsis, because our a&es have made huge progress interesting people who need tested quickly for sepsis when they arrive at a&es. if this now going to be done on the phone, if it is the first point of contact, it is vital that nhsiii call handlers are properly trained and algorithms are adjusted to make sure we ask at the right questions on sepsis. can you undertake to do that?” wholeheartedly pay support to the point is my right honourable friend has made. i pay tribute to him, to his work in establishing world patient day, and to thank him for his ongoing work in the international arena, representing both our country but driving forward this agenda globally. i entirely agree with him on his comments about 111 first. it is absolutely critical that both the online and phone systems that both the online and

the former prime minister tony blair and former uk health secretary jeremy hunt are among those callingass testing is available, when it's impossible to know because the machines have not been built yet, is because i don't want then to come on this programme in a couple of months' time and you point your finger and wag it at me and say that you didn't hit that goal. we can now speak to professor devi sridhar, chair of global public health at the university of edinburgh. thank you forjoining us at. first, this question initially of the testing programme at the moment, some people it seems i've been asked to travel quite a distances, are you surprised that there seems to be a shortage of supplies so early autumn? people are reallyjust gearing back up for work and schools after the summer break and already it seems to be slightly struggling. yes, we start to see the same exact thing in scotland and i think it is with schools going back, people returning from holidays as well as getting back to normal life, we are seeing are seasonal ms is going round and covid—19 is very similar in generic

jeremy hunt. thank you.em solved ? that in a week's time we will have this problem solved?” that in a week's time we will have this problem solved? i think that we will be able to solve this problem ina will be able to solve this problem in a matter of weeks. in his own constituency yesterday, 194 people got their tests, so we are managing to deliver a record capacity, but has he well knows, demand is also high, so we need to have prioritisation so the people who most need it can get the test they need. doctor whitford. thank you. with covid cases doubling every week, it is clear that laboratory capacity for diagnostic testing is not keeping pace with demand. this is leading to testing slots being capped. for example, only 70 covid cases were reported for scotland, yet 267 were reported today, many from tests carried out over the weekend. little reported backlog of 185,000 tests, is he not concerned that results will not be received quickly enough to allow a contact tracing, and that the delay in data means

jeremy every week. this is something the former health secretaryjeremy hunt had been calling for an something the formerony blair was calling for as well, but they wa nt was calling for as well, but they want this done more rapidly and they wa nted want this done more rapidly and they wanted universal testing throughout the uk. but when asked, matt hancock wouldn't put a timescale on when this trial in salford would go nationwide. one of the reasons that i refuse to your kind invitation to put a date oi'i when mass testing is available, when it's impossible to know because the machines haven't been built yet, is because i don't want then to come on this programme in a couple of months' time and you wag your finger at me and say, "you didn't hit that goal". and the government has also been accused today of overseeing the demise of uk aviation, to quote the boss of three uk airports. what did matt hancock have to say about that? it is certainly not the first time the government has faced calls to do something about testing on site at airports. some other countries are doing this, where you get tested and
