priti patel has not responded to the comments by tyrone mings.hree black england players jadon sancho, marcus rashford and bukayo saka faced online abuse after missing penalties at sunday night's final. the chief secretary to the treasury, stephen barclay, defended priti patel saying the home secretary fully understood the issues of racism after being subject to online abuse herself. from working with the home secretary that she is taking action in her role as home secretary to go after many of these racist groups. she is taking action against the extreme right—wing groups that ferment many of these things and she is acting as home secretary to tackle this, as indeed is the culture secretary. and as i say, through the online harms bill, we are committed as a government to legislating to tackle these social media platforms who frankly, should be doing far more to clamp down on this sort of unacceptable racism and abuse online. it's part of a wider problem in terms of online abuse. and we will legislate to punish those companies financially if they

i am not concerned with priti patel. - concerned with priti patel.id, that is not the reason why those racists posted those things on twitter or racial abuse of those boys. if she said that it is wrong to bhutto and supports taking the knee, do we believe that that would not have happened? we are trying to make a complicated problem very simple. why are we talking about priti patel? we should be talking about the solution to this problem. i don't agree with priti patel at all but why are we now focusing on something she said? the fires have been burning for a long time, she hasn't stowed any fires was that it was not as if we were... i would want to talk about the nation getting together if i were gareth southgate and now all of a sudden three polities... have ever been together? football can be do nothing about changing the perception of society towards black people for support football can do is bring people together to support the football team to try to win a football match and people are absolving themselves of responsibility by looking at footb

priti patel.has confirmed that almost all legal restrictions brought in to deal with coronavirus will be lifted in england next monday. borisjohnson said now was the right moment to relax measures, but he warned people against becoming "demob happy" and he said it was vital to proceed with caution because the pandemic wasn't over. from the 19th, there will no longer be any limits on social distancing, or how many people can meet, and capacity restrictions will be removed for all venues and events. the health secretary explained to mps why the government had taken the decision. now, to those who say, "why take this step now?", i say, if not now, when? there will never be a perfect time to take this step because we simply cannot eradicate this virus. whether we like it or not, coronavirus is not going away. but moving forward next week, supported by the arrival of summer and the school holidays, it gives us the best possible chance of a return to normal life. if we wait longer, then we risk pushing

labour criticised priti patel for refusing to condemn those fans who booed england players for takingy took the knee to stand against racism, it was a brave stand that led to them being booed by some. that booing was unacceptable and should have been condemned by all. and sadly, overnight, marcus rashford, jadon sancho, and bukayo saka have been subject to the most appalling racist abuse. another labour mp said some of the abuse was still visible online the day after the game. i've spoken to instagram this afternoon to urge them to take much stronger action. can i ask has the home secretary done so and will she do so and now speak to the social media companies to urge them to take this action, and would she also take the opportunity to condemn those who stood up and our stadiums and booed our brave players for taking a stand against racism, and call on them to show solidarity instead? the right honourable lady's right to point to instagram but all social media platforms — it's notjust instagram. they are all culpable and they are all responsible and it is right that we all take action

tonight tyrone mings accused priti patel of stoking the fire.was defaced. the police are investigating what they called "racially motivated vandalism." marcus rashford apologised tonight for his penalty miss but he said he would never apologise for what he is. it's unacceptable. as long as they are performing and scoring and getting results, then of course, we are all england, we are all behind you. but the minute that doesn't happen, the abuse comes out. but the last month has still been overwhelmingly positive for england, who can look forward to the future with renewed confidence. football can be a cruel, cruel game at times. and i've been on the end of it, and unfortunately these boys will feel so hurt, so angry, so disappointed. and it will hurt them for a while. but when you look at the whole picture, they should feel very proud of what they've given us. how are you feeling today? upset. their euros dream over, the hurt continues for england. but the sense is that these players are heading in the right direction. this was a reminder that w

and in terms of the priti patel one, it wasn't something that affected the whole country.ink that's why it got the cut through, because lockdown has affected every single one of us in the way nobody has ever lived through anything like this. i think that's the difference. 0k. i'm interested now in how scoops might help the bottom line. victoria, in the olden days, a scoop like yours would've had people rushing to the newsstands to get their copy of the newspaper, to see those pictures. it did. i suspect there was a lot of traffic to the website, as well. but surely not as much as perhaps you would have got if people bought a physical copy, right? well, the physical copies of our paper went up considerably that morning on friday, and also on the morning of sunday morning, which was the day after the resignation. so people rushed to the new stand to buy more copies. 0bviously, during lockdown times, we haven't been able to sell as many copies because shops have been closed. thankfully, things are opening up now. but, digitally, it's a fascinating story. so, that video, when

the home secretary, priti patel, says she wants to create a fair but firm system that will break thety and borders bill will allow the uk government to return people to a safe country if they pass through it on the way to britain. campaigners say this will result in thousands of valid claims being deemed inadmissible, and call it a shameful dereliction of duty. the bill will also allow asylum claims to be processed outside the uk, potentially paving the way for controversial offshore centres for processing applications. daniel sandford, bbc news. 0ur correspondent, simonjones is in dover. it looks very windy there. can you give us a sense of the impact of the bill on the number of migrants who may arrive at dover?— may arrive at dover? broken is the word the government _ may arrive at dover? broken is the word the government has - may arrive at dover? broken is the word the government has been - may arrive at dover? broken is the l word the government has been using repeatedly in recent months to describe the asylum system. there will be hoping changes put forward today will reduce t

johnny mercer, the former defence minister said he agreed with the player who said that priti patel washat taking the knee was a gesture politics. i think there is ongoing unease with some parts of the tory party about the way number ten seems to have used the culture wars in the way that that could potentially detoxify the party again. also people that feel strongly about racism and feel that their party should not be part of them are wittingly or unwittingly stoking it. this is actually your story and a lot of people remember the comments from dominic raab on talk radio about taking the knee. he said he only took the need for the mrs and the queen. and those comments struck a lot of people as being incredibly insensitive. and incredibly dismissive of the cause of anti—racism. why do you think we are now seeing the shift from that flippant attitude to a more serious consideration of the england team were trying to do and what supporters of those people who take the knee are actually trying to say. why do you think we are seeing this flip now? i why do you think we are seeing this fli n

home secretary priti patel described the scenes as "disgraceful", and first minister mark drakeford saidnacceptable". here on the estate itself, people are doing their best to get back to normal — but key questions remain. and among the most important ones — could this have been prevented and why did it happen? mayhill and townhill enjoy some of the best views in wales, and are collectively known as "the hill" — home to 9,000 people. some areas of mayhill are amongst the 10% most deprived areas in wales. you've got deprived communities that are geographically isolated even though they are within a couple miles of the most affluent areas in the city. basically, there's no reason... you don't really pass through. 0wen pillai was as a youth worker in one of the most challenging areas of swansea for nine years. you just can't look at it in isolation. itjust made me upset that we've reached a point where things are starting to bubble over and the overwhelming response wasjust anger with no kind of understanding of why it might be happening. are you surprised it escalated the way it did? i was

the home secretary, priti patel, has defended a new deal in which the uk will pay france £54 millionof people crossing the channel this year has now passed the total for the whole of 2020. the latest deal follows a payment of £28 million to the french last november. mps on the home affairs committee were sceptical it had been money well—spent. since that time, we now have a record number of boats which have come across the channel and the number of interceptions has actually fallen by the french. so, last night, you announced that we're going to give the french another 50 million — or 5a million, i think the figure was — to do the same thing. so isn't that throwing good money after bad? this is never a static situation. this is an evolving situation. the numbers of migrants attempting these crossings from france has increased considerably, and we are also seeing — i mean, the french interior minister and i were discussing this last night — over 60% of the inflow coming to france is actually coming from belgium. and this is an increased trend in a pattern. a top police officer will be

the home secretary priti patel has said the british public is fed up and angry at seeing the numbershat is why she called an emergency meeting with her french counterpart yesterday evening. france said, we can do more but we need more cash, so britain is to give france an extra £50 million. that is going to be spent on doubling the numbers of police officers in france patrolling the beaches of northern france. they will be able to cover a bigger area. there will also be an increased use of aerial surveillance to identify the areas where migrants are setting off from, and sending officers and more quickly. but if you're thinking that all sounds pretty familiar, then at last november, a similar deal was signed where britain gave france managed to increase the number of police officers and increased surveillance. the home office says that has reduced the number of migrants setting off, it says france has prevented almost double the number from says france has prevented almost double the numberfrom making says france has prevented almost double the number from making the crossing, but th

the home secretary, priti patel, has insisted the uk will continue to work with france on schemes toing to cross the channel. it comes as the number of migrants arriving in small boats this year has now surpassed the total for the whole of 2020. a total of 8,161 people have now made the dangerous journey to the uk by small boat. france is to double the number of police patrolling its beaches, as part of an agreement with britain aimed at stemming the flow. the uk will pay a further £54 million to support the french efforts. when questioned by mps the home secretary said the government was introducting a bill to deter the people traffickers. what we are seeing right now effectively, people trafficking, smugglers, criminal gangs exploiting our asylum system to bring in economic migrants and people that quite frankly, are circumventing our legal migration routes to come into our country illegally and this is difficult, there are difficult reforms here. but the bill has a set of comprehensive measures that look at the entire system from an end to end perspective, from a legal migration t
