this the shadow education secretary kate green said a consistent approach this a consistent approachducation secretary gave a cast—iron commitment that exams would go ahead. at that moment, we should have known they were doomed to be cancelled. i wanted exams to go ahead fairly, but i was always clear that there must be a plan b if that was not possible. for months, there was no sign of any such plan, although the risks that exams could not happen has always been predictable. the secretary of state says he will be providing support to teachers to award grades. can he tell me when they will receive the support and what form it will take and confirm that it will be available in all schools? and can he tell me exactly what will be done to ensure that all the grades are fair, consistent and support pupils to move on in their education or employment? i heard what he said about technical and vocational exams. but frankly, he is failing to show leadership on the exams taking place injanuary and he is leaving it simply to schools and colleges to decide what they should do in difficult circum

have a listen to the shadow education minister kate green.remain open, the right place for children to be if they can is safely in school. what we do think and indeed what the prime minister admitted yesterday on the andrew marr programme was that sadly more closures are inevitable and that is because the government has not got a grip of the virus and that's why we are pressing for the national lockdown. it seems that what was looking at are coming in some form in england and it looks like they are coming in scotland today as well. the scottish cabinet is meeting this morning to discuss what that might look like but my understanding is we could well see the school year delayed in scotla nd well see the school year delayed in scotland and are much stricter stay at home message with enforcement more akin to what we saw back in march is at the start of the new year is looking like a pretty grim picture at the moment. good to talk to you, thank you. today marks the first full working day with the uk outside the european union. negotiators came up

kate green, appreciate your time this morning. thank you for speaking to us.verdict of death by misadventure in the case of a girl from south london, whose body was found near a tourist resort in 2019. nora quoirin, who was 15 and had learning difficulties, went missing during a family holiday. nora's family say they do not believe their daughter would walk—off by herself. all london primary schools, and many in the home counties, will remain closed today, as an attempt to reduce the transmission rate of covid—19. some london boroughs were going to be allowed to reopen schools, until the government changed its mind following lobbying by several local authorities. as far as secondary school children in the royal borough of greenwich are concerned, they're now eligible for coronavirus tests. and a paediatric diseases consultant, believes pupils will largely be fine. i know that parents are worried, because the numbers of infections in children are high, but i think that still reflects what's going on with the community. we're much better at managing it, we recog

on the point about mixed messages, kate green from the labour party on this programme not asking forchools open. it became inevitable that they would have to close. when did it become inevitable? i think in the last few days it has become inevitable looking at the evidence. closing a school is a big thing to do, particularly for seven weeks. there are many, many children, particularly disadvantaged children, who won't be able to learn at home ina who won't be able to learn at home in a particularly effective way. the attainment gap is already much wider thanit attainment gap is already much wider than it otherwise would be. working parents have now got to make different arrangements this morning. we did want to keep schools open but it is inevitable that they are going to close. they have of course now been closed as part of the national restrictions. i think in those circumstances we have all got to pull together. we called for those national restrictions. we need to network with the government to make that these restrictions work and that these restrictions work and thatis that the

labour shadow secretary kate green said it was yet another u—turn causing chaos to pa rents another u—turnlife chances in the long run. so it would likely say, you know, it wants to try to keep them open for as long as possible. and we have seen it take a very ha rd possible. and we have seen it take a very hard line stance on this, just before christmas it deployed legal action against one london borough who wanted to shut their schools early. it has been very, very strong on trying to keep schools open. certainly they will be pressure for the government not to go with these calls for trying to have a more wired closure of schools across the country. i think there will be quite a lot of resistance in government to that as a move, because the government line has always been that it just believes it government line has always been that itjust believes it is too damaging for children if they are out of school for a long time. helen, for the moment, thank you. a number of hospitals are now facing a worse situation than at the peak of the first wave of the pandemic last year. that's according
