if cummings and michael gove think they will ta ke and michael gove think they will take it on, they to really go for it. let's move on to really go for it. let's move on to the times. the pm pledges a decade as spending, putting the finger at decade as spending, putting the fingerati.5 decade as spending, putting the finger at 1.5 billion for schools to bounce back from covid —— app times. dobroyd —— the broader point, there is an additional challenge because of the kind of economic hit and the educational hit on children whose prospects could be and have been significantly set back by this what you might call a year of living dangerously. the prime minister is desperate to get the children back to school by september. the devil is in the detail. it will be interesting precisely how boris johnson plans to let the secretary rolled out this money when the schools will be getting it quickly 01’ schools will be getting it quickly or whether the government will be nimble and how they deliver the cash incentives. the schools getting what they need to be what they need, setting out exactly

michael gove says he's been clear to the eu.ade it clear to the vice president of the european commission we would not be extending. that is it. we are leaving the transition period on december the 315t. borisjohnson says it is "shameful" that statues are having to be boarded up because of concerns they'll be vandalised. families of more than 400 people who've died with coronavirus demand an urgent public inquiry into the government handling of the pandemic, to try to prevent more deaths. and the paralympian who's the only black board member of britain's major sports tells us much more needs to be done. target does not mean anything. i think what is important is bringing the black people on board and giving them aim then a voice and listening to them. —— giving them a voice. the uk economy shrank by more than a fifth in april, the biggest monthly contraction on record, as a result of the coronavirus lockdown. new figures from the office for national statistics show almost all areas of the economy were affected, with house builde

a lot of things which michael gove has talked about ina which michael gove has talked about in a speechontains lots of good things. but the mismatch between what they do and say is quite great. interesting you mentioned that speech because he is talking about rather as he used to talking about rather as he used to talk when us cabinet secretary talking about a blob in the educational establishment being a roadblock to reform and education so his perception and the perception of dominic cummings, his special adviser or those years ago, that there is a roadblock to reforming whitehall and sir mark presumably is the top man to be seen as the architect or at least part of that roadblock. i don't think it's that. if you quote michael gove, he says the principal responsibilities... the problem is politicians! they can't fire themselves. someone was saying about experts a while ago? i agree with him. keep ministers in place longer. if there is a problem with politicians, they move around too much and it's true of the civil service. we can get serious expertise. i came from a very technical bac

if you quote michael gove, he says the principal responsibilities... the problem is politicians!fire themselves. someone was saying about experts a while ago? i agree with him. keep ministers in place longer. if there is a problem with politicians, they move around too much and it's true of the civil service. we can get serious expertise. i came from a very technical background, i like the idea of technocrats, i look forward to the first civil servant trying to explain pace there to the prime minister as mr gove seen to want him or her to do. but there is not a blob in the civil service, what it wants to do is to produce the best possible evidence to get the best possible advice to government so they can make the best possible decisions. and at the moment we do have some problems, it's quite apparent that some things are going wrong and let's hope we can put them right. dave penman is general secretary of the fda union, which represents senior civil servants. he said there have been moves to undermine sir mark's position over many months. you don't get to do the job. without doin

michael gove. now the pandemic has certainly had an impact on our tv schedules.ek. but with filming cut short by coronavirus, the soap is now down to two episodes a week. so what does the future hold for eastenders and other popular shows? the chair of the culture committee has been trying to find out. what will this mean for viewers and listeners? will we see repeats in the autumn? obviously not fawlty towers, but will we see repeats as a result? i really hope not but i think you are right to say the schedule is going to be mixed and for example, we have shown in this period that actually you can do great innovation even now, so for example we have talking heads coming soon, we have done spring watch really innovatively with four presenters from different places. but coming up this sunday is the luminaires. we've had some great drama, we have some great drama coming through in the autumn as well, but i think you will see that mixture of shows that we can innovate easily in this period and other things which will take more time. eastenders is coming back into pro

michael gove also says access to fishing waters may be something that is subject to annual talks. of the most difficult points in these negotiations. our interview with the deputy cfo is next. this is bloomberg. ♪ francine: economics, finance, politics. this is bloomberg surveillance. let's turn to the middle east, underla, $230 million investment has released its 20 annual review. incomeled copperheads of $10 billion higher than the year prior. incomeotal comprehensive $10 billion higher than the year prior. saeed: the first thing we do is to see if there is enough liquidity. companies affected by the lockdown or by the covid-19 because of the shut down in operations. clearly when you look at the u.s. market today, the equity markets have almost erased all the losses they have incurred on the back of covid-19. , in the economy, are we going to see that catch up? if we take the u.s. markets, which is a huge market we invest in, the u.s. market is resilient. the u.s. market pre-covid-19 has a very low unemployment rate, it is the lowest in the last 50 years. we don't see any system

transition period with the european union beyond the end of this year cabinet office minister michael gove tweeted on friday that the moment is now past rising odds of a no deal bracks have threatened to wreak further havoc on the u.k. economy which is already reeling from coronavirus lockdowns on friday data showed the economy contracted a record 20.4 percent in april economists are not optimistic about a recovery any time soon the central bank says the country is likely to fall into its deepest recession in 300 years. we can speak now to the shop but he's the executive director of the german british chamber of industry and commerce and joins us from london thank you for being with us are you confident that there will be a trade deal between the e.u. and britain. i'm not very confident that there will be a trade deal between the e.u. and the u.k. because the government's position in the u.k. is so entrenched as well as the u.s. position and it doesn't see also able to find a compromise so i think there's more that if 2 percent chance that we will ever know deal scenario at the end of the

and michael gove also set i think it was in march or early april that the government was not tellingto wear masks. this is somewhat of a u—turn and it seems eminently sensible for people to be wearing masks on public transport. and it's something that many other countries have put in place a long time ago. the question then is why is this only happening now just like the question then is why is this only happening nowjust like how slow we have been to put the track and trace programme in place for instance? why has it taken so long for them to come to this conclusion? and also for them to change their mind, what is going on with the science here and what advice are they getting? it is frustrating because we could have been doing this months ago. asa do you know why now? is interesting because i suppose it was tracking there, the advice initially was don't bother with facemasks because they do more harm than good because perhaps they would almost act as a placebo effect and people would go around and ignore social distancing and stick their faces far too close to people when they're i

but the government has ruled that out, with cabinet minister michael gove saying he'd "formally confirmedhat there will be no delay. but checks on goods coming here from the eu will be phased in next year, to give businesses time to adjust. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth reports. it's not been business like this for months. many firms disrupted because of the virus and at the end of this year, another big change could be brewing. our current trade terms with the eu end and there'll be no extension — whether there's a new deal or not. we would not be extending. that's it. we are leaving the transition period on december 31st. that provides clarity and certainty to business and our announcement today allows business to plan in an appropriate and flexible way. the uk left the eu onjanuary 31st, allowing a year where not much changed to work out future relations. those talks haven't made huge progress, so on monday, the prime minister will meet eu figures to try to get things moving because december 31st is the deadline for a new trade deal to be agreed, and that won't be extended.

a month ago, i had asked a cabinet office minister, michael gove, that public health needs to look intout, he said, perhaps socio— economic and structural factors which could lead to inequality and that inequality may have been as a result of discrimination. however, what was promised by them did not take place, as we can see. what is the reason behind that? our readers are telling us behind that? our readers are telling us that the government, it seems, does not care about ethnic minority deaths, because the review confirms that. thank you for your question, ahmed. the last comment pains me, because we do care deeply about this subject, and that is why, following the publication by public health england, we are taking forward the action, and the equalities minister is working to take forward this point of exactly why the information, including new information, including new information, and it's not true the public health england report was entirely information already available, but to take forward why and also what we can do about it. many of the steps that are implied, for instance,

michael gove said that he thought the coronavirus pandemic and its effect on the european economy would concessions necessary to get a deal. is he correct? and negotiation is here between two. it takes two to tango and what we need is a disposition on the uk side and have a clear sense of moving those negotiations forward. before we end, let's talk geopolitics, how did you feel about the relationship between what was your strongest partner, the united states of america. we have donald trump's administration withdrawing from the world health organization and in the last few days, we've had the united states talking about imposing new sanctions on officials from the international criminal court, calling it corrupt. you are the foreign minister of spain, how worried are you about the deteriorating relationship between donald trump's whitehouse and the european union? we value the transatlantic relationship a lot. we value this historic link to the united states. we value the interests and values that bind us. but we also know, that this relationship requires today, a bit of updating and th

today, the government ruled that out, with cabinet office minister michael gove saying he'd "formallythere'd be no delay. but checks on goods coming here from the eu will be phased in next year, to give businesses time to adjust. 0ur political correspondent, alex forsyth, reports. it has not been business like this for months. many firms disrupted because of the virus and at the end of this year, another big change could be brewing. 0ur of this year, another big change could be brewing. our current trade terms with the eu end and there will be no extension whether there is a new deal or not. we would not be extending. that is it, we are leaving the transition period on december 31 and that provides clarity and certainty to business and our announcement allows business to plan in an appropriate and flexible way. uk left the eu on january 31, a loving one year were not much changed to work out future relations. those talks have not made huge progress so on monday the prime minister will meet eu figures to try to get things moving because december 31 is the deadline for a new trade deal

he just shared uk, michael gove has tweeted saying hejust shared a uk, michael gove has tweeted saying not extend the transition period, which ends at the start of next year and they are not allowing any more time, despite calls for them to do so, for example, by the scottish first minister and welsh first minister here and warnings from some in business about the difficulty of dealing with brexit, with or without a deal, certainly with no deal, given the pandemic affects. but the government absolutely committed to delivering the end of this whole brexit saga by the end of this year. that tweet has just come in from michael gove. moving to the united states. president trump has renewed his threat to intervene in seattle, where hundreds of anti—racist protesters have ta ken over the city centre and declared an autonomous zone. he said he was ready to go in if the governor of washington state failed to act. after two weeks of national protests, triggered by the killing of george floyd, mr trump promised more money for police training, but dismissed calls for defunding the police as an ex

dominic cummings and number ten has battled with unions before and overruled them along with michael goveere is little sympathy in number ten for gavin williamson not having put upa ten for gavin williamson not having put up a fight against the unions. looking at the metro, sebastian work on sound after all those days and weeks of the government saying we are just following the science and the science and the message from the scientists was confusing they disagreed each other, so much of this in fact all of this really is political and that is what the focus for the metro, 15 deaths 950 cases but would be called. and on this, a prime minister positive reputation and place in history as potential going to be remembered. we should note those numbers of deaths from covid today were really very sort of since the beginning of march in fact and that is one of the reasons why borisjohnson and and that is one of the reasons why boris johnson and the government and that is one of the reasons why borisjohnson and the government is pushing forward to ease the lockdown because they do feel they have

between israel and the palestinians it almost seems laughable to me even just coming out of my mouth michael gove i'm not going to ask you to agree with me but. i thank you for the great ocean from your lips are a. lot of smart man. that nation and the world are reopening for business after months of covert quarantine but fears over a new rise in infections and deaths are leaving some spectacle. skeptical i mispronounce that word did i not for the very latest let's go to our to injure sayah is following the numbers for us what do the numbers say so i read globally the u.s. is still has the most cases followed by brazil india russia and china but look at mortality rates this is where we are now mortality rates in the u.s. is still the highest still again followed by the top 5 countries with the most cases and although this might seem higher that's actually relatively low because if you recall u.k. in italy both have had him a tally rate or 14 percent but i also want to discuss why they you. now accounts for 20 percent of new cases globally around the world so a number of states across the u.s. hav

michael gove held virtual talks with his eu cou nterpa rts gove held virtual talks with his eu counterpartslieve delay would cause more uncertainty. others believe their approach is the mistake. today, i have joined with the first minister of wales in writing to the uk government, calling for an extended brexit transition period, to take away the risk of a no—deal outcome and to ensure that we all remain focused on supporting business through the post covid recovery. there are some signs of the economy slowly starting up again. but also signs of the impact lasting for some time. the prime minister has said the boarding up of statues and monuments because of concerns they will be vandalised during protests is shameful and absurd. the statue of sir winston churchill in london, which was covered in graffiti at last weekend's anti racism demonstrations, is among several to have protective screens around them. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds is with me now. what do we know as we get into the weekend about further protests? well there is a process that has been called by black lives ma

left at the end of january with regards to what to do with that border and it is here michael gove said border checks would be inevitable for almost everybody who imports into the u.k. but more recently the government say that they would tap struck plans for full court a check so the 2 sides still far apart as i mentioned when it. comes to those key issues but they'll be hoping that these talks that can take things forward of course perhaps progress has been stymied somewhat by the fact that we've had or sides dealing with the corona virus crisis and as a result of that of course politicians negotiators can't meet face to face talks have been taking place via video conference in court and have that has not helped things move forward however there is a need for things to speed up because as we know at the end of december the u.k. will be leaving this transition period and will finally have to fully left the european union and if a deal isn't in place then the u.k. will go to trading on the world trade organization rules with the european union but both sides say that they've agreed to an

studio: that is michael gove giving an update on the talks between the eu and the uk.nsition period means it will end on 31st september and as you heard, a call for compromise from both sides, but also the clock is very much ticking. we will have more reaction to that throughout the afternoon. borisjohnson has confirmed that the government will now fund school meals for eligible children in england over the summer holidays. it comes after pressure from footballer marcus rashford who was himself a recipent of free school meals when growing up. those eligible will get six—week vouchers to cover summer break. number ten says the one—off decision is based on "unprecedented situation" and said the prime minister welcomed marcus rashford's contribution to the debate around poverty. well this was the immediate reaction from the footballer who tweeted ‘i don't even know what to say. just look at what we can do when we come together, this is england in 2020.‘ and the labour leader, sir keir starmer gave his reaction in the commons. the government has u—turned on free school mea

last week there was a meeting between michael gove and eu officials and the agreement was that the eu the talks. we will hear more detail of that today on this video conference about the path we are expecting. five weeks of talks over a five—week period in the summer back and forth between brussels and london. they want a deal by october because part of the issue that the eu side are saying is it may have to be ratified by eu parliament and regional parliaments. the canada deal, for example, it was held up by one tiny parliament in belgium and they don't want that to be repeated. the other thing is we come away from the difficulties of fishing rights under state aid, it gets more personal politics. i remember a walk in the world between the taoiseach and borisjohnson when theresa may said tojean—claude junker, what did you call me, you called me nebulous? that is why today i hope to move things on. thank you. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. this week's forecast is very much one of sunshine, warm sunshine at that and also some thundery downpour

michael gove says the european union has been left in no doubt about the government's position.ade it clear to maros sefcovic, the vice president of the european commission, we would not be extending. that is it. we are leaving the transition period on december the 31st. borisjohnson says it is "shameful" that statues are having to be boarded up because of fears they will be vandalised. families of more than 400 people who've died with coronavirus demand an urgent public inquiry into the government's handling of the pandemic. and the paralympian who's the only black member of a board with britain's major sports tells us much more needs to be done. and much more needs to be done. coming up in half ar time, and coming up in half an hour's time, that daily coronavirus press briefing, led today by the transport secretary. hello, good afternoon. the uk economy shrank by more than a fifth in april, the biggest monthly contraction on record, as a result of the coronavirus lockdown. new figures from the office for national statistics show almost all areas of the economy were affected, w

it hasn't, and last wednesday we had david frost, the uk's chief negotiator sitting alongside michael govets at the moment are of a deal. the eu have the formal mandate clearly, that's the way it normally does negotiations and our view at the moment is that that mandate, at least in key areas, is not a mandate that is likely to produce an agreement that can be agreed with us. if their internal process, if they think they need to rewrite it, then that's up to them, but what's clear is that the policy that's enshrined in that mandate isn't one that can be agreed with us. iam sure i am sure you will presume that having heard that the eu will roll over and say we give in but sadly it didn't. the eu's position is that the uk is trying to shift the goalposts and we can show you a quote from an interview michelle barney eight gave to the sunday times. he says the uk has been taking three steps back from the original commitments. you negotiators need to be in line with what the prime minister signed up to. he says, we remember what we negotiated with borisjohnson and we wa nt to negotiated with bo

last week there was a meeting between michael gove and eu officials and the agreement was, publicly theherefore we have to accelerate talks. we will hear more detail of that today on this video conference about the path. we are expecting five weeks of talks over a five—week period during the summer back and forth between brussels and london. if they want to get some deal, which they want by october. pa rt deal, which they want by october. part of the issue for the eu side as it may have to be ratified by eu parliament and regional parliaments. the canada deal, for example, it was held up by one tiny parliament in belgium and they don't want that to be repeated. that happens today. the other thing worth saying is we have come away from the difficulties of fishing rights under state aid, it gets more personal politics. i remember the walk in the world between the taoiseach and boris johnson, the moment a couple of yea rs johnson, the moment a couple of years ago where theresa may said to jean—claude juncker, did you years ago where theresa may said to jean—claudejuncker, did you call me n

there have been frequent exchanges of information between the vice president and the minister michael goveor uk nationals residing in the union, in the 13 member states that, like the uk, have chosen constitutive system, we are working to ensure that procedures for applying for resident status are simple, easily accessible, and clearly communicated. in the other 14 member states, which have chosen a declaratory system, uk nationals will receive a physical document enabling them to prove their status. we also continue to be extremely vigilant with regard to the correct implementation of the protocol on ireland and northern ireland. the uk common paper published on may the 20th is useful. but there are still a lot of details to be centred if we wa nt to a lot of details to be centred if we want to move from aspiration to operation. in line with the legal treaty. furthermore, some of the objectives set out in this common paper, such as avoiding exit declarations and goods moving from northern ireland to great britain, are incompatible with the legal commitments accepted by the uk in the proto

newsom spent the day in stockton where he and mayor michael tubbs toward a cafc reopening this saturday. it has been closed since march. while there the goveas asked about another big challenge many small businesses are facing right now. >> you think there should be any kind of financial aid for businesses who might have had their windows broken or been looted by people? >> there has to be. these businesses otherwise and we cannot survive. the question is that it has the come in many different forms and shapes.>>> up next, how one photographer was able to get this amazing shot. >>> from the skyline of the city to more of our breaking city in the south bay. fire crews dealing with a series of spot fires near the santa teresa water treatment plant along colleen drive. we are told as many as six small fires now are burning. in the distance you can see smoke on ours and has a camera. the disturbing part of all of this, witnesses tell authorities they saw someone setting the fires. now, a person is being interviewed right now by san jose police, the fires each about five acres. chapter 5 is headed to the scene, we will have more information thr

and following a speech from michael gove over the weekend, there is talk of roosevelts floating arounde talks really more broadly about the lack of trust, how lots of people are looking at political leaders and feeling that actually, they have failed them, that they haven't helped those who need help most and that is going to be one of the big challenges for the government, particularly conservative government, they won a lot of seats in the last election in traditionally labour areas and those areas are particularly badly hit by covid—19. so yes, the template of roosevelt and talk of what he did in the 1930s in america are coming off the 1930s in america are coming off the back of the recession and trying to say that that's what the plan is here. so it is a big vision, as ever though, it is being able to deliver it. the government could put in a lot of money and getting these projects up and running is always a problem. we have heard this kind of thing announced before, it can take quite a long time to come to fruition and that is what they are going to try and speed up, i think, when
