ithink there will be pressure on the spending review.l probably get a spending review, it was meant to be for three or four yea rs was meant to be for three or four years but, like last year, we might find that you can only carve up the pie of spending for one year. so big decisions but we think, as vicki young said, we are heading for some sort of support for wages, not a continuation of the furlough scheme but a reflection of the reality in the current jobs market. thank you. tighter coronavirus restrictions, like hospitality curfews, have been announced for all four home nations, but there are also some significant differences. in scotland and northern ireland, you can no longer meet up with other households indoors, so what is the scientific thinking behind those decisions? our medical editor, fergus walsh, reports. the morning after lockdown was declared, central london was deserted. the total shutdown brought the virus under control but devastated the economy. today, with coronavirus cases rising, we are all facing new restrictions

at least match that goal, 30% of land and sea for nature by 2030 and deliver the forthcoming spending review? >> chief, the honorable lady can't be unaware that the campaign to get the world's leaders to sign up to a leaders' declaration, mr. speaker, was led, has been led over the last few weeks by this government. and it is this government -- you know that. she knows that, mr. speaker. it's this government that devised the charter. it's this government that's leading the world and protecting biodiversity. we put in the funding. we pioneered the idea and we will certainly put in all the funding required. >> mr. speaker, there's varying concern across the country about the rising number of illegal crossings across the channel. in order to stop these dangerous journeys, to save lives and to protect our borders, the uk must deter people from making these crossings. the law in this area is complex. can you assure the constituents and the country that the latest bill to deal with the problem will be brought before the house following the next speech. >> he's completely right that the legal posit

[laughter] >> i defended you. anybody else online? a lot of the topics have been covered. if i can first briefly ask you to explain the methodology of the report? i did not personally review it but our staff looked at it last night. who did you interview with the data we gathered how is that included in the recommendations. and those that have been tremendous then to give you a good idea. >> that what i'm getting at so i know what the reforms would cost but there is broad-based support for the idea and then to fully utilize the technology available. it seems to be there isn't much controversy around the idea there needs to be an executive agent, somebody has control in terms of overseeing strategy and driving the investment.

on the issue of spending we have a comprehensive spending we have a comprehensive spending review ateconomy and the public finances. is that something that you are taking into account when you consider the issue of spending because it seems to many from outside of number ten that the impetus inside number ten is to spend, spend, spend, and then spend even more rather than prudently looking at this issue and making sure that we are in a good position to go forward if we do end up in the circumstances i describe? that is also a good point, and slightly incoherent with your previous questions, which seemed to be asking for more government spending and more government borrowing, but you are entirely right, that the future interest rate rise is something we have to bear in mind. support for jobs in the short term is very distinct, i think, jobs in the short term is very distinct, ithink, from profligate public spending in the longer term, i think they are different things, but one final question, the government generally did a pretty good job in supporting jobs in the early stages of this

go hungry through the pandemic, and will consider the task force's recommendations at the next spending reviewand the government is state aid — the financial assistance given by government to businesses. our reality check correspondent chris morris is here and has been taking a look at this and other outstanding issues in the negotiations. yes, in public this negotiation has often seemed like a dialogue of the deaf. so, with time running short, things are now coming to a head. of all the niggly issues that have become stumbling blocks, state aid — that's financial support from government to businesses — is perhaps the most difficult. the eu is demanding a level playing field on state aid, some kind of understanding that the eu and the uk will follow the same rules as part of a free trade agreement to make sure businesses in one country don't gain an unfairadvantage over their competitors in another. the eu has softened its demands slightly, but it still wants pretty strict conditions because the uk is already so intertwined with the european economy. so it's waiting for the uk to disclose what

an issue that the health department, my focus has been on the announcement yesterday and the spending review like running with anyone. i'm not sociable. that is the point of it. it gets you off the sofa, millions of this ever since it started in 2004 people who have never usually run at all before, apart from going to this. it helps motivate. i guess some people lack the motivation. you like to get in the motivation. you like to get in the zone. they were meant to be coming back. in october, that is what they were talking about. plans to resume weekly parkrun events next month have been scrapped. the runs are exempt from the government's coronavirus restrictions, because they‘ re an organised, outdoor sporting activity. but organisers decided that it was, insensitive to restart when the country's facing a surge in cases. joining me now is chrissie wellington, she's a four—time ironman triathlon, world champion, and parkrun's global head of health and wellbeing. good morning. great to see you again. good morning. we know parkrun has become such an important part of so many people's lives, as

think there is clearly going to be that we are coming up to the comparative spending review, the governments. in terms of the healthy start vouchers, which enable the parents of young children and pregnant women to buy fruit, vegetables and milk, the supermarkets have indicated they are willing to top that up. i think this is something that government and society needs to fall behind.” is something that government and society needs to fall behind. i have heard you talk in detail previously about the way we feed our children in schools. do you think there needs to bea in schools. do you think there needs to be a shift in the way we think about the way we think about people who work in schools? we think about people ate dinner ladies and things like that, do we need to raise the status of the person who provides our children with food? absolutely, so the school food, for those who have not been into a school for a while, it is much better than it was ten, 15 years ago, thanks in part to the work of jamie ten, 15 years ago, thanks in part to the work ofjamie oliver, but more thanks to her teac
