london, mr speaker, where, alas, we are also seeing infections rise, and that's why we need a concerted national effort. not enough for labour. so will he level with the people of bury, burnley and boltonhe actually think the problem is here? what we are doing is a combination of national and local measures which, one week, mr speaker, he comes to this house and supports and, the next week, mysteriously he decides to whisk his support away. whether in sunderland or salford, more than 17 million people in the uk are living with extra limits already — early 13 million in england but, as the disease still spreads, might there be more? everyone round here is desperate to avoid another national lockdown but, with cases still rising, further clamp—downs are likely to be on the way. the treasury's nervous about extra rules choking off the economy, so is looking at extra support for pubs in the north of england and beyond, if they have to close. for their part, the department of health is keen on a system of different tiers, where parts of the country would be put into different clear categories. but the opposition and tory mps are getting more and more sceptical as each day goes by of whateve

mr. speaker. i thank the prime minister for his remarks about my honorable friend, the member for bolton south eastster, how does an area which goes into tier 3 restrictions get out of those restrictions? >> the simplest and most effective way for areas to get out of those restrictions is, of course, to get the r down to 1 or below, and i am very pleased to say that some areas are already having a considerable effect with the measures that they are taking. >> can i press the prime minister on that answer? if the infection rate, r, in a tier 3 area has not come below 1, will it be possible in any circumstances for that area to come out of tier 3, if the r has not come below 1? >> obviously, the r is one of the measures that we look at. we'll take a decision based on a number of things, including the r, also, of course, rates of infection, rates of admission to hospital, and other data. but the most important thing is for areas that do go into tier 3-and i am very grateful to local leadership in the areas that have gone into tier 3, because it is the right thing for them to do, the right thing for th

guest was inside, quote, "the room where it happened," john bolton, former national security adviser under president trump is here with me now. mr, thanks so much for joining us. first of all, i just want to take a moment to acknowledge the fact that the reason we're doing this special is because there's never been anything like this in term of so many top administration officials saying after they leave the administration this president is unfit. >> no, i think it's an indication of what the central problem is with the trump administration. it is in the oval office. it's the president himself. dozens, scores of loyal americans have tried to work for him and simply been unable to do it. >> there's 215,000 deaths and counting from coronavirus in this nation, yet president trump's own coronavirus infection has apparently changed nothing about his handling of the virus, including he's now back on the campaign trail holding these reckless rallies, exposing his own people to the virus. >> no, it's totally in character. he beat coronavirus. he's a winner, as he always is. these other people, as he said, that's the way it is. i think t

mr. trump should be thanking us instead of getting rid of pre-existing conditions without coming out. for four years he has not come out. if you read bolton's book, he talks a big story. to pick up on your last point, health care your that was a big issue for voters and continues to be so. rate now and what impact could it have? guest: for democrat it comes in second as -- in wisconsin as second after covid. thise are worried about question of pre-existing conditions. they don't want to lose their health insurance coverage if they have a pre-existing condition. that is something that is covered now under obamacare and could potentially go away if the supreme court were to strike down that law. that is definitely something that is on a lot of voters' minds. you don't want to lose your health insurance in a pandemic. it doesn't rate quite as high as covid or the economy, it is up there as the number two concern for democrats in our state. host: let's end with what you will be watching for on election night. guest: here in wisconsin, i will be looking at what the returns look like from the counties around milwaukee. others still trending more

bolton speaking to wolf blitzer there a little bit earlier. so democratic presidential nominee joe biden slammed president donald trump on saturday over mr. trump's handling of the pandemic and his own illness. as he headed to campaign stops in pennsylvania, biden revealed his latest negative coronavirus test and he called on the president to listen to scientists. >> before i came out again today to go somewhere i had another test this morning. and i'm clear. i think it's important the president make sure two things. one, that he is clear, he is not a spreader. like dr. fauci says, the superspreader event he had for the supreme court announcement. and secondly, i think it's important that he make it clear to all the people that they should be socially distanced, they should be on the lawn, that's fine, but in fact they should be socially distanced and wearing masks. that's the only responsible thing to do. >> well, at his campaign events in pennsylvania mr. biden reached out to independents and disaffected republicans as jessica dean now reports. jessica? >> reporter: former vice president joe biden campaigning in the critical battlegroun

much with the memberfor bolton thoughts are very much with the member for bolton south east and i hope she makes a speedy recovery. mra struggle, how on earth does he expect many workers to get by onjust £5 does he expect many workers to get by on just £5 48 an hour when the tory cuts and furlough sinks in? iam i am proud of what we have done to support people on low incomes during this pandemic on the day before. it was this government that raised the living wage. he makes the point about for a low, mr speaker. and as he knows, the combined universal credit with the job support scheme we have just announced and workers will be getting 80% of their existing salary. we will get his country through this crisis and we will continue to support people on low incomes throughout the period. ian blackford. mr speaker, i'm afraid of the prime ministerjust simply doesn't get it. yesterday we saw his total disregard for the people of greater manchester, a tory attitude people in scotland are all too familiar with. millions of families are struggling to get by and this tory government wants to cut their incomes in the middle of

mr. trump doesn't think is overrated is colonel sanders. >> the ultimate betrayal for trump, who resorted to name calling. former national security adviser john boltonmattis, the world's most overrated general. former secretary of state rex tillerson, dumb as a rock. >> he would turn on them in a really aggressive way, in a way that i've never seen or heard of presidents doing before. >> i think, you know, turnover is natural in any white house. >> former trump adviser david urban. >> i think this administration may be more high pressure, more issues that are pressing. >> a demand for loyalty that trump relied on for what he hoped to be his first big policy win, repealing and replacing obamacare. >> we have so many unbelievable alternatives, much less expensive. >> i think donald trump believed that his iron grip on republican voters would get him all republican votes. >> two months after the trump inauguration, the republicans had a bill that would begin the dismantling of obamacare. >> the bill is passed and without objection -- >> and while the bill did make it through the house, the senate posed some issues. >> i think that there would have to b

mr speaker, following the advice, which is now opportunistic. perhaps he will say to the leader in boltonough. that is a tier three, that is tier three, the highest tier, so why is the prime minister so confident that his approach will get the r rate below one, so confident, or is that no longer the government plan? i'm afraid mr speaker he is misrepresenting the position. dou btless misrepresenting the position. doubtless inadvertently, what our advice is is that if the original measures of tier three at all levels we re measures of tier three at all levels were implemented in full with the support and the active cooperation of local leaders, as we have indeed seen from the leader of liverpool city region, and i pay tribute to him,i city region, and i pay tribute to him, ithank city region, and i pay tribute to him, i thank you for all he is doing, if we sought full and proper enforcement, if they were able to conduct proper local test and trace with the support of the £500 million we are giving, then yes, those measures were to deliver, mr speaker, the reduction in the r locally, region

local action is one of the best weapons we have, and mr speaker, we have seen how local action can flatten the curve, for example in leicester and boltonship for their public service and cross—party teamwork in the face of this virus. we have developed a substantial package of support for areas that enter this third tier, this includes more support for local test and trace, more funding for local enforcement and the job support scheme, of course, alongside the offer of help from the armed services. in other areas, offer of help from the armed services. in otherareas, currently in the second tier, where discussions are ongoing, no further decisions have yet been made but we need to make rapid progress. mr speaker, turning to other areas of the country currently in the medium level, where rates are rising fast. first in london, infection rates are on each steep upward path with the number of cases doubling every ten days. the seven day average base rate stands today at 97, rising sharply. we know from the first week that the infection can spread fast and put huge pressure is on the nhs. we must act now to prevent the need for tougher mea
