the kingdom of saudi arabia has traditionally, for decades, been cautious person. first that she prefers to deal behind the scenes, not in public. this has changed dramatically in the last five plus years. he has become unpredictable, erratic and i'm going to focus on three public areas to illustrate. by far, the most important is the one you deleted too, the war in yemen. the war in yemen today is the world's biggest humanitarian catastrophe, without a doubt. tens of thousands of yemeni children are suffering and many of them have died. instead of becoming a quick, decisive storm, it has turned into a quagmire. [indiscernible] the war has given iran a base on the red sea. for has paid a pittance this. moreontrast could not be it is saudi oil infrastructure regularly attacked by the hoopty's and the uthis.ce directly -- h the today, the kingdom has finally belatedly realized its mistake and wants to end the war. they have asked for two unilateral cease-fires. not withdrawn their -- [indiscernible] revels -- d she rebels think they are winning the war and on the ver

kingdom at risk, and as a result, with regret i have to tell the minister i cannot support this billns. labour has accused the government of mismanaging billions of pounds spent in response to the pandemic. in a speech to party members at its virtual annual conference, the shadow chancellor, anneliese dodds, accused ministers of a ‘cavalier‘ approach to public spending during the crisis. as chancellor, i would ensure that public money was always spent wisely. targeted where it is needed most, not slayers where it is not. new leadership with proper oversight of government contracts so they deliver value for money every time. testing every single budget line against the goal of net zero carbon emissions. because the evidence is crystal clear, and investment that favours our climate also favours jobs, and the short and long—term. let's get more on this — pat mcfadden is the shadow economic secretary to the treasury. what exactly are you accusing the government doing in terms of spinning too much money? government has been quite widely praised for his furlough skiing and other measures t

there is a vacancy at the heart of the united kingdom. and it needs urgently to be filled.nd demonstrate a determination that the whole of the country can face these challenges together at this difficult time. strong words from the welsh first minister mark drakeford. further measures across england to try to slow the surge of coronavirus infections are being considered by the prime minister, just days after the "rule of six" was introduced to limit gatherings. the so—called "circuit break" measures follows warnings that there will be a significant number of deaths by the end of october, if no further interventions are put in place. earlier my colleague geeta guru murphy spoke to devi sridhar, professor of global public health at the university of edinburgh, about the rising number of cases. the numbers are what income we are seeing both the number of people testing positive increasing the test positivity is going up, as well as hospitalisation. we don't want to be in the position of france or spain or israel where you start having hospital issues and is —— hospitalisation

i want to turn to the united kingdom briefly. chancellor rishi sunak on his feet in the house of commons, saying the following, that the u.k. economy is likely to go through a permanent adjustment. i guess for that reason, it is why he said this morning the furlough program will end. he goes on to say that we need to create new opportunities and viable jobs. that furlough program will be replaced with the following scheme. has top wage workers returning to shorter hours. the government will support up to 2/3 of pay. the support will be targeted to those who need it most. the program will run for six months. the job support program will begin in november. more broadly, away from the specificity of the united kingdom, what is important is the first headline from the chancellor, that this economy is going through permanent change. what we are seeing now from the british chancellor and others as well is they are starting to think about the idea of creative destruction, allowing this economy to change it adapt to permanent shifts in t

they sprayed us across all facets unfortunately and it is so painful to note because the united kingdom is an advanced country it has a lot of clever people in place and considering we have the armament we have the clever people we have the logistics we have everything in price we go ahead and in went a centralized system from the beginning when actually what we could out and we can do we should be doing is enabling local testing local laboratories energized who said that the testing and we take that task and we do it locally with process it locally and we communicate the results locally come about it we set up a new organ testing regime and contact tracing will as well and they can communicate easily seamlessly with our g.p.s. and patients and others now who are even the test results invention when they're conducted are not communicated to the people that matter and we had the systems so why not use the systems instead of create one in the middle of a pandemic so how important is local knowledge and local delivery in running an effect of testim tracing regime absolutely crucial it won'

i think in the united kingdom, at the beginning of the pandemic, certainly back in march, april, therehe majority of the population that these restrictions were necessary in order to save lives. i suspect however that has begun to fracture as the consequences for the economy have taken a hold, people have lost theirjobs, the furlough scheme is coming to an end, and people are thinking, "i need to start protecting not only my mental well being also my bank account as well and perhaps we need to open up a lot more quickly." but there are covid idiots out there, there is no question about that. you get on the tube here in london and there are people who are not wearing masks, people who are not social distancing. there is one super spreader in bolton responsible for over 200 cases, asymptomatic, diagnosed, supposed to self—isolate, he does not and goes on a pub crawl. these are instances of people who are not taking the rules seriously enough and i suspect over the summer a lot of people felt, "i am making my contribution, i have done it now, i want the government to open up so i can get

i think what the problem has been for the united kingdom, for other countries in europe and particularlystates is that they are trying to have their cake and eat it as it were. try to lockdown and to then open up again and then they are going to have to lockdown again at. there has been a lack of consistency in messaging, but i think that point about testing is crucial. the who made that point at the beginning of this pandemic, test, test, test. and frankly, while the government has to be given credit for the way it has managed to build up the testing regime in this country pretty much from zero, it has not gone anywhere near far from zero, it has not gone anywhere nearfarenough and from zero, it has not gone anywhere near far enough and that is probably why we are in the problems we have at the moment. sorry, it wasjust very striking that dido harding and neil ferguson today on radio was saying they were not expecting this a surge in demand for tests, which seems astonishing given that schools are going back and there will be the usual cough and colds and parents will be worried. of cou

the united kingdom is now said to be at a critical moment, in the battle against coronavirus. putin and macron called for an immediate ceasefire in the conflict between azerbaijan and ethnic armenian forces. we have a special report. the us commission on presidential debates says it'll announce new measures to ensure a more orderly and structured discussion in the two remaining debates between donald trump and joe biden. the statement followed tuesday's ill—tempered encounter, laced with insults. after the contest biden, called trump's conduct in the debate a "national embarrassment" and condemned him for not clearly denouncing a white supremacist group, the proud boys. mr trump now says he didn't know who the proud boys were, and right—wing militias like them should stand down and let the police do their work. our north america editor jon sopel reports. coming out on stage and not hitting each other was more or less of the most dignified thing about last night. this was an exercise in ugliness, with donald trump determined to trip his opponent, joe biden, up by repeatedly int

final round of post trade talks and it's about to be thrown into jeopardy entirely as now the united kingdom is somewhat trying to reinterpret special breck's every entrance made for northern ireland and it could mean that ministers would be able to change these these export declarations for goods moving from britain to northern ireland and while it may seem like a fairly good idea on paper actually the government has even admit it it will violate international law. god's great international law in a very specific limited boy you can the power to disappoint e.u. law concept of dog and to create required by school for a certain very totally different circumstances. now it's all about the internal market bill which was published just yesterday on wednesday and it's a designed to blow apart the bricks that withdrawal agreement that was negotiated last year specifically talking about the northern ireland protocol although quite the opposite at least according to the government that claims it's not designed to blow apart the brics it would draw agreement but trying to put it all together and

our closest relatives in the animal kingdom are keen communicators just like us the similarities are not surprising given that we share almost 99 percent of our genome with chimpanzees but what is a common cold for a human can be lethal for a chimpanzee and as the animals are a highly social species an infection can wipe out an entire group so researches are very cautious when approaching the apes here at the thai enough tional park in ivory coast germany's max planck institute for evolutionary anthropology has been studying the behavior of chimpanzees for many years its experts have seen all too many infections have a devastating consequence for the animals they examined diseased apes to determine their cause of death and identify any pathogens also because potential viruses could pose a threat to humans to. take for example the last major outbreak occurred in west africa between 20142016 taking the lives of 11000 people it is believed to have spread to humans through the consumption of infected wild animals such as apes and fruit bats they typically carry a range of viruses but are

i feel not good and they regret the decision of the united kingdom to leave the european union, but i but now what is going on, to renegotiate, to correct the withdrawal agreement is just not acceptable and this is really pretty hard to talk about such things because we have to respect what we reached during a very long negotiation period with big efforts of the main negotiators. and we achieved this result and it's just not appropriate to reconsider this agreement right now. and, a final thought, all of the tough talk right now from london, from the boris johnson government, about how they, within weeks, may well have to walk away from any effort to get a trade agreement and accept there will be no trade deal with the eu after december 31 of this year, do you see this is just more political manoeuvring and bluffing or do you take it seriously when borisjohnson says that britain can regard no deal as a good outcome? is he being serious or not? no deal is not a good outcome for everybody, for all countries, for european union and britain too. so we are interested, and i'm talking not o

we trust the united kingdom. i am confident they will get it right.e clear our view of the importance of the good friday agreement. we know the complexity of the situation. we have done what we can to provide assistance where we can. in the end, this will be a set of decisions with respect to what the united kingdom makes, i have great confidence they will get this right in a way that treats everyone fairly and gets a good outcome for what the people of the uk voted for now several years back. thanks. and i look at it from the uk's point of view, i've had very positive discussions notjust with mike in the administration, but also with congressmen and women from both sides of the political aisle if i can put it that way. and will continue to discuss it with nancy pelosi later. i think it's a great opportunity for me to be clear that the threat to the good friday agreement as it's reflected in the northern ireland protocol has come from the eu's politicisation of the issue. and to be clear on how that has happened and why that's happened. our commitment
