been made, she is already coming under intense criticism, some of it from charities like the refugee council is a refugee, it is establishing safe and legal routes for people seeking asylum to come to the uk. there is also criticism from the labour party, who say that suella braverman is grandstanding abroad because she has failed to fix what they call the asylum chaos here in they call the asylum chaos here in the uk. , , a, sick leave has soared to its highest level in the uk in more than ten years. new research suggests the average employee took nearly eight days off ill in the last year — compared to nearly six days before the pandemic. covid—19 and minor illnesses were among the most common reasons for taking time off. 0ur employment correspondent zoe conway has all the details. new research suggests uk workers are taking more sick days than at any point in the last decade. the survey spoke to 6.5 million employees across more than 900 organisations, and found that staff took on average 7.8 sick days in the past year. that is up from an average of 5.8 days the year before the pandemic.

but you have reported that the norwegian refugee council has said rightly that everything is badly neededvivors if any and the deceased people from under the rubble. do you think the scale of what the country is dealing with will actually bring these two sides together, the rival authorities, the internationally recognised government? are they likely to be able to work together to respond to all of this? is that realistic, given everything we've seen over the years? that's why i mentioned earlier that there has been a great deal of anger. we have been opposed by the lack of coordination between the two governments. yesterday i have called forjoint emergency rule between the two governments. it's time that we put aside the political divide and we tackle the great deal of this catastrophic situation that is at hand. so, for the time being, i think the two governments are not speaking to each other. this is appalling and we badly need something coordinated and jointly conducted between the two governments, so that needs assessment and call for international aid should be carried out. that wa
