close to mrjohnson say it's important difficult issues are debated. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blakeorts. what muslim women choose to wear in public can be a sensitive subject — guaranteed to provoke debate, and one on which borisjohnson has made his views clear. but his language has prompted criticism, from his opponents, the prime minister and other senior conservatives who say he went too far and should apologise. it seems to me that what boris might want to do now is consider whether some of the language that he used was inappropriate, and if he chooses to apologise no doubt that will be welcomed. but i don't think we should take from this incident that people are prohibited from discussing this subject — it is a perfectly legitimate subject for debate — but it is one of those subjects, and there are many of them in politics, where politicians should be careful about the language that they use. writing in the daily telegraph on monday, borisjohnson said a total ban on full face coverings

jonathan blake, thank you very much indeed.who joins us on let's speak to tom mcnamee who joins us on the telephone as we look at this picture of the houses of parliament. where were you and what did you see? i was coming down from the millbank end of westminster and i looked up to see a car in the barrier about 50 yards away. i notice the armed police were approaching the vehicle and immediately the uniformed police we re immediately the uniformed police were calmly ushering people back from the area, trying to create a perimeter which i understand had been immediately afterwards. what did you see in terms of who was inside the car? did you see the man being arrested? inside the car? did you see the man being arrested ? explain inside the car? did you see the man being arrested? explain what you saw. the only thing i saw was the car in the barrier. i did not see any casualties or anything like that lying around, just the car in the barrier and the police response. how badly damaged was the car? the front end was smashed in. it
