as of the discussions between michael gove have been going on a long time of the negotiators in future is that they're not going to stop those negotiationsjust because of what is going on in relation to the northern are than protocol withdrawal agreement. and they said one of the things that has been reported is there going to carry on with the talks because they want you to pull out and if the uk does not want to know dear brexit, one of the important things is that the sticking point, this major point of contention is that the bill that the government in table would do, it would allow ministers to make things and consistent with withdrawal agreement. it will be preaching part of the withdrawal agreement that it was passing through parliament in one of the things that this been a numberof one of the things that this been a number of criticisms of this and one of this was it wasn't how it was sold in the general election and another is that this creates through another is that this creates through a lack of trust of the leave the eu to form other trading relations, it is not a good loo

michael gove as part of thatjoint russ over that? michael gove as part of that joint committee.e these details must be knocked out. we have got to recognise that if you have a product that goes from here to northern ireland, orfrom ireland to northern ireland and back this way, there will be some necessary checks required. that was pa rt necessary checks required. that was part of the written agreement. boris johnson surprised everybody by returning to brussels with that deal that was signed back injanuary, and here we are actually wanting to turn oui’ here we are actually wanting to turn our backs on it unilaterally. and thatis our backs on it unilaterally. and that is the piece that i cannot support. i do believe we can get a deal. i do believe we need to refocus our efforts on getting back to that table and not being distracted by what has happened over the last few days. we can get an internal market bill through. that bill will be put in the back pocket. but with the amendment, i believe that could pass the house of commons quite easily. i do hope they will consider that. a

to meet rishi sunak can michael gove to sort out these border issues in these customs issues."iations have been stalling this week. it still looks like we could get a no—deal, may be a very thin deal. regardless of whether we get a deal, these customs issues are going to have to be sorted out. itjust seems like these industry figures are accusing the government of burying their head in the sand over it. essentially, the article says, 50 yea rs of it. essentially, the article says, 50 years of customs processes needs to be undone and rebuilt. they've only got 85 days to do it. thoughts, sienna? i mean, it's looking like chaos at the borders is pretty likely. that's quite a scary thought, because obviously, we sought the getting of the pandemic, these shortages in supermarkets which use these just—in—time systems, and it's quite particular to the uk. if those kind of scenes are repeated, i mean, they could be much worse, even, when, you know, brexit happens properly when we are outside the transition period, that could really spell disaster for the government because it might be

in a letter seen by the bbc, the cabinet office minister michael gove says it could result in delays france. let's speak to our economics correspondent andrew walker. it isa it is a warning from government, what did they say that hauliers need to do? it is a striking morning and they think the concern is about documents that would be required for goods going from great britain into the eu and michael gove is concerned that some hauliers they not be adequately prepared with the necessary paperwork. worst case scenario he describes he thinks it could affect as much as 70% of freight in total, 50% of freight on the busy dover crossing and the eurotunnel and then we would be looking at very long queues as you mentioned in kent. that would also affect imports because a truck stuck ina affect imports because a truck stuck in a queue in kent cannot load up with good support the return journey so michael gove said that hauliers should make use of the government it system which he says will be tested in october and be up and running for the new year. it will give them the opportunity to make

we haven't heard directly from michael gove but perhaps we will hear from the michael gove but perhapsn talks about there there have been talks about the future relationship with the european union, particularly trade talks. michel barnier has been meeting with lord frost this afternoon and the eu has made it pretty clear that if the uk doesn't, in their view, one of the past, then it will be very difficult to forge a future relationship. the transition period ends at the end of this year on december the 31st. the uk has been following eu regulation since we left the european union earlier this year and will end at the end of this year and will end at the end of this year and will end at the end of this year so ever trade deal isn't in place we would revert to world trade organisation rules so that is what is at stake here so what is crucial is to hear from those trade talks once they have concluded this afternoon to see whether any progress has been made or what has been going on elsewhere in terms of this argument of what the uk government is trying to do, whether it has impacted the

i do not think you will hear that tonight knife michael gove.king international law and that isa breaking international law and that is a problem for them. japan's governing party has elected yoshihide suga as its new leader to succeed shinzo abe. it means mr suga is almost certain to become the country's new prime minister when parliament meets on wednesday — given his party has a majority. for some it's cause for early celebration. one twitter user shared this comparison — saying "big news out ofjapan — new cakes to celebrate suga yoshihide being elected as japan s new prime minister are already available." i think very very good likeness, which made me think that look, if the prime minister of japan which made me think that look, if the prime minister ofjapan can have his face and a cake, why can't i? i am going to miss him the first of all, you've got a cake. you've got a cake. mine is a chocolate cake, yours is a carrot cake. obviously, because mine, you have carrot flavour. i am going to miss shinzo abe, i'm sure he has done a lot to refor

michael gove told the house of commons that lorries entering kent would need to have the correct accessmics editor, faisal islam, has the story. decades of seamless cross—channel trade without checks will come to an end when great britain exits the single market and customs union in 100 days' time. and the warning from government is that everyone should plan on the basis that thousands of lorries could be stranded in kent. it is the worst nightmare for traders, particularly in perishable goods, such as david catt from kent. 24 hours in the life of the produce is a long time. and we put an order in this morning for holland that will be here at 2am tomorrow morning, and if that order doesn't arrive at 2am tomorrow morning, i've got no produce to load onto my vehicles. the produce has to be here on time, otherwise the whole of my business just collapses. he was responding after bbc news obtained a letter from the cabinet 0ffice minister michael gove to the freight industry acknowledging that the end of the brexit transition period could see queues of 7,000 port—bound trucks in kent and ass

michael gove did admit that things are quite complicated. so let's simplify things.trying to push through? we were try to provide but we have to move back a couple of steps before that to explain. this relates to the withdrawal agreement that was signed and agreed between the eu and the uk last year, around this time last year, october. and in that, one of the key parts was coming up with a special arrangement for northern ireland, called the northern ireland protocol. and that was to make sure that there wasn't a ha rd was to make sure that there wasn't a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. it set out the sort of high—level way that would work in terms of whose customs territory northern ireland would be in etc. that left a lot of details and decisions that still needed to be made, and they are being thrashed out by a joint committee of the uk and the eu that has been meeting for most of this year. they have hit a sticking point on some of these issues. what borisjohnson has said todayis issues. what borisjohnson has said today is that

michael gove, i wa nt to the united kingdom. michael gove, i want to be absolutely clear.ent with the rule of law. again, these are looking at the detail, the precise wording of the withdrawal agreement and the protocol, one things we're doing is applying the agreement and the protocol, but we are not in a position where the european union can seek to use, and i sincerely hope they won't, i don't believe they will, but we do need to believe they will, but we do need to be ready for it, the sort of measures. when the deal originally was one, in the rush to get a deal done, you ditched a whole bunch of issues. this does mean there is a significant amount of issues, that is now resolved. are you happy then and you change your tune? well, the protocol is being implemented by us because we believe that it does secure because we believe that it does secure some of the actions have that is why we need to have this safety net, if we have to, we will. ultimately our responsibility as ministers is to safeguard the security and integrity. it sounds like you don't trust them. i believ

to michael gove. michael gove. one and a half billion, it says, has been spent, 2017-2018 on billion, it says, has been spent, 2017—2018 on consultancy firms. nice work if you can get it. yes, indeed. and there is obvious fury from lord agnew thereabout the amount of money going into these private firms to do what is the business of government. but there is an underlying story here that's perhaps not being told on the front page and that's what really motivates bipartisan civil service and putting these types of works out to consultancy firms, that's because people like dominic cummings don't trust the civil service and believe that the civil service and believe that the civil service is working against the type of things that he wants to deliver under boris johnson's mission of things that he wants to deliver under borisjohnson's mission to reform whitehall. now, the civil serva nts we reform whitehall. now, the civil servants we would say that in by bypassing them and using these companies there is

michael gove said he agreed with all that.a bill designed to provide greater legal protections to armed forces personnel serving on military operations overseas. ministers argue it will be protect them from "vexatious claims and endless investigations" and would limit false and historical allegations by introducing a presumption against prosecution — making it exceptional for personnel to be prosecuted five years or more after an incident. but campaigners and some senior military figures have warned that the legislation will create a presumption against prosecution for torture and other serious crimes, except rape and sexual offenses. this bill is not an amnesty, a statue of limitation or a decriminalization of erroneous acts. we will continue to protect the independence of our prosecutors and our police. we will investigate, and if necessary, prosecute service personnel who break the law. but what we will not accept is the vexacious stations handling of veterans and our armed forces by amnesty rating lawyers motivated not by

emergency talks are taking place between eu officials and the cabinet office minister michael gove.ect the internal market and the northern ireland peace process. let's get more from our political correspondent iain watson: perhaps it will be particularly fascinating to be a fly on the wall at that meeting? yes, i imagine it won't necessarily be too diplomatic. the emergency meeting, going on even as we speak, was called by brussels because of their concerns that the united kingdom government was prepared to break international law. some of the reasons for this sound very obscure. there is legislation called the internal markets bill. it would let the government, unilaterally, not by agreement from the eu, but unilaterally, to decide how to applied withdrawal agreement that was negotiated last year, to some aspects of the situation in northern ireland. this is all about trade, customs declarations and so on. the eu see a far more important, they are less worried about the detail, they are more worried about the principle. they think of the government decides not to honour the withdr

cabinet minister michael gove says here's our economics editor, faisal islam.trade without checks will come to an end when great britain exits the single market and customs union in 100 days' time. and the warning from government is that everyone should plan on the basis that thousands of lorries could be stranded in kent. it is the worst nightmare for traders, particularly in perishable goods, such as david from kent. 24 hours in the life of the produce is a long time. and we put an order in this morning for holland that will be here at 2am tomorrow morning and if all that doesn't arrive at 2am tomorrow morning, i've got no produce to load onto my vehicles. the produce has to be here on time. otherwise, the whole of our business just collapses. he was responding after bbc news obtained the letter from the cabinet office minister michael gove to the freight industry acknowledging that the end of the brexit transition period could see... ..and... ..as france applies border checks to all hauliers without new required trade paperwork. today is a wake—up call, and

as you say, michael gove is in town, he is in brussels, the british minister in charge of planning fore will hearfrom him probably in the next hour or so but i think, simon, yes, we can say it is an important, if not a crunch week, for brexit. thank you, nick beake in brussels. health officials in india say that more than six million cases of coronavirus have now been recorded in the country. 82,000 new cases were reported on monday. another 1,000 people have died. despite the growing number of cases, the indian government has continued to ease restrictions in an attempt to revive the economy. a further eight districts around madrid are being brought into lockdown today to tackle the worst coronavirus transmission rates in the european union. around a million people in the spanish capital are not allowed to leave home except for work, school, doctors' appointments and legal obligations. bars and restaurants will also have to close early. uber has won a court appeal against a decision by transport for london to refuse it a licence to provide services in the capital. the company has now

coming over to sort out bits of the brexit deal, and he wanted to get some clarification from michael goveards he issued this statement saying, you need to pull this legislation either as soon as possible or certainly before the end of this month, which got this response from his opposite number, michael gove. we are committed to this, and the vice president suggested that we withdraw from the legislation, and i suggested that we could not and would not, and instead i stressed the vital importance of reaching a joint agreement on this. in other words, there is no way, right now, the government will ditch the controversial bits that they want to change in this law, and to give a bit of context if you haven't been following it this week, they are trying to do, they know it is controversial, it is audacious, it is by a cabinet minister's admission in the house of commons on the public record, on the telly this week, a breach of international law, so they knew that this was going to be the nuclear option, and they knew too that the eu would be very, very cross, and they were waiting to see whe

we have the vice president of the european commission meeting michael gove today and i get the feelinge feeling that he does notjust want to hear what michael gove has to say, he needs to see his eyes when he saying it. yes, i think you're absolutely right. if you look at the response we have had from the european commission, visually, they have talked about their strong concerns over what the british side is proposing, but talking to people privately in brussels and they use words like flabbergasted, stunned, shocked. the suggestion that the divorce deal agreed last year might be in tatters, even if the british government insists it is tinkering around the edges and tying up loose ends. i think this meeting will be important for the eu's side when it happens later this afternoon in london, and i think in particular they will want to hear from michael gove what it means for northern ireland and what it potentially means for the peace process. so, yes, a real keenness on the eu side to hear more from london. what does all of that mean for the trade talks? will it be a really difficult a

it does have a listen to michael gove.on of the night in ireland is carrying the united kingdom and we wa nt carrying the united kingdom and we want to make sure that the withdrawal agreement is implemented in full. but those causes are there, they are in legislation, supported by the house of commons, as a safety net if need be and those causes will remain in that bear. so a safety net for michael gove but a fight for the european union. that is part of the problem of perception i think but what really matters is still the sides are still talking. some of the angry rhetoric flying around a couple of weeks at the seams that have been turned down a bit but perhaps the important talks this week are the ones still to come. those trade negotiations on things like state aid and government subsidies on fishing and the issues e—mail the outstanding issues in the way of reaching a trade agreement before the end of this year. we know as we said many times that time is short. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with susan powell

yeah this this this again is a really strange point from michael gove you can understand the 5 percent of businesses were unprepared attempts in the business is room for pads and you could say that this is soley the blame of these businesses because the guidelines are clearly clear enough that 90 percent of the businesses feel fully prepared if 75 percent of businesses won't be bad then this is ultimately the government that is to blame whether that is because they've been that they have and they like clarity intent of the guidelines for how businesses or maybe it's a cost issue and especially when you look at the assamese they just don't have the ability to babes of bad because they don't have the cash available in order to invest in the way that large businesses are able to ultimately if we get to the end of this year and 75 percent of s m a's are going to be over a pad for heartbreaks it knows the operators it then the government is old families of blame because it means that a they've promised that this is going to be an extremely straightforward process they the prospect of lorrie

that is michael gove today. a government cannot pf°p up extent to which a government cannot prop up industries, there are concerned that if the uk can do that, it would give them an unfair advantage. the uk government saying that as an essential principle of brexit that we are an independent nation and can choose to do what we wa nt to nation and can choose to do what we want to once we are beyond the end of the transition period at the end of the transition period at the end of the transition period at the end of the year. this is the end of the last scheduled rant of brexit negotiations, there could be more, but the deadline as things stand is the middle of next month whether its at eu summits, which is where should be theoretically signed off before the end of the year. it could possibly slip a little bit because brexit deadlines do tend to, but you can‘t slip by much because the hard deadline is the end of this calendar year. chris, we may be able to release you shortly because i‘m just looking, the speaker

let's get some of the day's other news: cabinet office minister michael gove is heading to brussels forimplementation of the brexit divorce deal. and on tuesday formal negotiations will resume as the two sides attempt to agree a post—brexit trade deal. last week the uk said a lot of work remains before a deal can be reached. first—time property buyers in the uk are becoming less likely to buy a home than movers. to research by property portal zoopla. for more than a year, the highest proportion of sales were to people buying for the first time. but zoopla predicts the squeeze on mortgage lending and increased interest from movers will change the dynamic this year and next. the location, the food, the entertainment — a couple's special day can be expensive. we are talking, of course, about wedding. but the wedding industry is another that has been hit hard by the pandemic. since lockdown in the uk over 100,000 weddings have been postponed or cancelled. and from today new restrictions come into play in england, which restrict weddings to a maximum of 15 guests. sarah haywood is a wedding

michael gove said they need to be cautious with the case as a covid—19 on the right. will be a huge blow to smaller football clubs — there are fears some will go under if they can't bring paying fans through the gates. the government will be looking at the financial impact and possibly putting together a support package. dartford fc have a friendly against dover athletic this evening and are expecting up to 1000 fans at the game, but their chairman thinks the future could be bleak. if this went on for much longer and the suggestion from the prime minister today was that this could be anything up to six months, there is no club at our level nationally down through the steps that can survive six months without the fans coming to the door. i think the only thing could be a suspension of the league or a cancelling of the leak if that is the way it will go. i can't see any alternative. scottish first minister nicola sturgeon has said the phased return of fans in the scottish premiership from 5th of october is now "unlikely". further pilot events are on hold with the situat

if you look at that one estimate took place this afternoon from the joint committee where michael govedom and the vice president of the european commission leads for the european commission leads for the eu. basically this is about implementing what has artie been agreed, implementation of the withdrawal agreement, the divorce deal that took us out of the eu. that includes things like the financial settlement and citizens' rights. of course northern ireland which we will get onto. it is the place were disputes about that agreement is supposed to be resolved, and it got this key role, the most important role in interpreting the northern ireland protocol. and that's taking up a lot of time in the joint committee. the eu argument is if you want to discuss the northern ireland protocol this is the place to do it. not supposed to simply produce a piece of legislation which announces unilateral changes. we know it now from the european union statement this afternoon that they say this very clearly breaks international law and essentially has given the government a deadline at the end of this

responding for labour — rachel reeves criticised a letterfrom michael gove to the haulage industry.ker, about the government? there is a long list of promises for the future in the letter. the uk government will be contacting haulage companies. they will be running targeted advertising. they will be publishing an updated haulier handbook and they will launch advice stands at uk service stations. madam deputy speaker, why aren't these essential prerequisites for a smooth transition not already here? it is all well and good to tell businesses to act now, but without the systems in place, frankly, it is like telling me to bake a cake but forgetting to turn a oven on. sectors from farming to haulage to car manufacturing are crying out for the government to get this right. these sectors are the backbone of british industry and they are vital to our everyday economy. if we don't listen to these experts, we will lose exports. in the last hour the uk's daily figures have been released and they show another rise in the number of new coronavirus cases. there were 6,178 new infections recorded

let's hear what michael gove will tell me this afternoon and then we'll come back on that.l wa nt to ready to break off talks, they still want to hear what michael gove has to say first. what i think the government will maintain is they are only simply putting in place, member about the backstop, this is a kind of safety net. if they cannot reach aan of safety net. if they cannot reach a an agreement on a joint committee between the eu and the uk, only then will they take powers unilaterally to decide how the withdrawal agreement, especially in relation to northern ireland, would operate, so it is still possible we may get a negotiated settlement, but at the moment it looks as if both sides are ina moment it looks as if both sides are in a state of truce. iain watson, thank you very much. meanwhile, one of america's most important politicians, nancy pelosi, has told london there will be "absolutely no chance" of a us—uk trade deal if boris johnson overrides the brexit deal with brussels. in a statement on wednesday, ms pelosi, who, as speaker, holds the top job in the us co

speaking in the commons michael gove said just one in four businesses believe they are "fully ready"lined the government's reasonable worst case scenario. i should stress that this is not a prediction or a forecast. it's just a prudent exercise in setting out what could, and the worst circumstances, occur if we don't improve preparedness. and of course, if our neighbours declined to be pragmatic. the scenario builds on an estimate that only 50 to 70% of large businesses and just 20 to 40% of small and medium—sized enterprises would be ready for the strict application of new eu requirements. in those circumstances, that could mean that only between 30 and 60% of laden hgvs would arrive at the border with the necessary formalities completed for the goods on board. they were therefore be turned back by the french border authorities, clogging the dover to calais crossing. in that scenario, those across the short state crossings could be reduced by up to 60 to 80% compared to the normal rate and in such circumstances, that could lead to queues of up to 7000 hgvs in kent. these queues and

polly, reportedly michael gove is very keen on getting a deal, lots of people still thinks it is possibleatives are still doing well in the polls compared to their labour rivals. keir starmer is making his speech in a party conference this week as labour puts forward its ideas to the nation, albeit in a virtual way, virtual forum. politically we have got to remember that the conservatives still have a 80 seat majority. they have an 80 seat majority but it turns out to feel a lot less secure than they thought, that this rebellion that happened this week, was extraordinary and enough to make them have to u—turn yet again. and they have another side of the tory party who are the extreme libertarians who are very angry with any lockdown restrictions at all. so they have two sides of the party in a state of fury. so even 80 seats does not feel quite as comfortable as it did. also, borisjohnson won his amazing electoral victory with 26 points ahead. now it is only a point or two. keir starmer, the new labour leader, who has only been in power a few months, is now ahead of borisjohnson in terms

michael gove plus lord frost are both in brussels this week, the ninth round of negotiations.re is no breakthrough yet. yes, thatis there is no breakthrough yet. yes, that is a sentence you heard me to before regarding brexit. the main sticking points remain fishing rights and also the capacity for governments to help out companies if they seek state aid. speaking to people in government, there is some talk of some progress being made but they are talking down the optimistic briefings that have bubbled out in the last couple of days. we are now reaching the crux of this and the deadline is two and a half weeks away and yes it could slip a bit, but it cannot slip much. 0k, thank you, chris mason. the bbc has been told that the suspect in the killing of police sergeant, matt rartna, is louie de zoisa, who's 23 and from norbury in south london. he remains critically ill in hospital following the shooting. our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, has the story. police memorial day commemorates all of those who died while serving. but the killing of an officer is a particularly

officials here are calling for an emergency meeting with the senior british government minister michael govesition and the big question is where this leaves these talks. the trade talks in the future relationship that have gone under way again in london today. i'm told the mood within the camp of michel barnier the chief negotiator is said to be bleak. we will see what happens in the next couple of days. and chris page is in belfast and equal unhappiness about this in dublin? yes, this is where the rhetoric will meet reality. unionists basically do not want any checks on goods arriving here from the rest of the uk and at the moment as things stand under with all agreement some products coming here from england, scotland and wales to the likes of belfast port would be checked because northern ireland in remains in eu single market with some eu customs rules. unionists wa nt some eu customs rules. unionists want that part of the agreement would have dan removed altogether but nationalist parties and the alliance party said changing that would amount to a betrayal. the irish prime minister spea

michael gove is heading up those technical negotiations and the detail of that protocol as it's calledplementing it, though. the protocol is being implemented by us because we believe that it does secure northern ireland's position within the united kingdom. but it is the case that the prime minister has spelt out, that some of the actions of the eu have shown that they could be prepared, in extremis, to take certain steps which would threaten the integrity of our united kingdom. that is why we need to have this, the safety net, this long stop, which we do not wish to use. we do not intend to use. but if we have to, we will. because ultimately, our responsibility as ministers is to safeguard the security, the integrity and the economic life of all the citizens of the uk. boris johnson's article borisjohnson‘s article is very determined, tab thumping in tone. there are some interesting elements in it. he talks about this theoretical risk that the eu could carve and talk of locating food going from mainland britain to northern ireland. how serious does the government think this is or is

the cabinet minister michael gove has said that parts of the controversial internal markets bill whichdeal signed last year, and ministers admit it breaks international law. speaking after a meeting in brussels in search of a trade deal with the eu, he described talks as constructive, but said there were areas where both sides were still "some distance apart". claudia webbe, the leicester east mp, has been suspended from the labour party after she was charged with harrassment. she is accused of one offence against a female between september 2018 and april this year. the mp said she was innocent of any wrongdoing. an additional 400,000 hectares of land in england will be protected to support the recovery of nature under government plans to protect 30% of land by 2030. national parks, areas of outstanding natural beauty and other protected areas currently comprise 26% of land in england. boris johnson has signed up to a nature pledge, alongside leaders from 63 countries. the new leader of the liberal democrats, sir ed davey, has accused borisjohnson of failure and incompetence over his h
