those offices you worked with theresa may.must the atmosphere be like in there and speak to this question that the foreign secretary now is in charge, doesn't appear to be in communication with the prime minister. >> yeah, i was speaking to some of my former colleagues who are now still? number 10. i think they were shocked at which the speed of the prime minister's condition deteriorated yesterday afternoon. some of them were saying at 6:00 last night things weren't great and suddenly things changed quickly and they've made this move to take him to icu. in terms of dominic raab, the devolving of authority to a prime minister to another senior minister happens quite a lot. it happened with theresa may when she was aboard or holiday or too busy. another cabinet minister would be asked to deputize for her in making -- in chairing some of those key decision-making meetings. that happens quite a lot. the key difference here is, i think, the scope of the decision-making that dominic raab is going to have to be taking with other cab

i think it's an interesting we've heard reports who was theresa may defective deputy from the last persond be ready to take on this role, and what it reveals is that the uk has a cabinet style of government and while the us has the designated survivor role it does not have the capability with the prime minister for a broad and is the security incident there somewhat allocated to ta ke incident there somewhat allocated to take over and that's dominic. he does have the support of cabinet and the stage of national crisis, there is no reason to believe that he cannot make decisions in a civil service machine would not swing into action to facilitate those decisions, so day—to—day governance should be able to cope with this. day—to—day governance should be able to cope? i met take a slightly different interpretation. i think this has exposed we've drifted more towards a slight presidential system. the idea was meant to be the prime minister but the power and is amongst equals in the cabinet. but borisjohnson amongst equals in the cabinet. but boris johnson ran a amongst equals in the cabinet.

all three men stood in the conservative leadership to replacace theresa may and have been given prominent positions in the government. both men set up to tackle the virus. c chosen is man allowed voice in the 2016 voice. he has been selected by johnson to chair the monday meeting. dodowning street has previviousy said johnson has the power to delegate responsibility to any minister but for now the foreign secretary is the second in command. a fourthhas seen consecutive daily decline in the number of people dying from the virus. the nation still recording another 637 fatalities, wringing the total to more than 13,000, the highest in the world, but the daily total although sharply down, declclared four r days ag. the lockdown having been extended to april 25. japan's prime ministster says te government plans to declare a state of emergency and is proposing a stimulus package with one trillion u.s. dollars as new infections spike in tokyo and elsewhere across the country.y. in totokyo. what is he proposing? jason: we learned this eveningng from shinzo abe that he will declare a state of emer

his predecessor theresa may tweeted to say her thoughts and prayers are with borisjohnson and his familyp described the prime minister as a "good friend of his" and said he‘d offered the help to mrjohnson‘s doctors and president macron of france wished mrjohnson a "speedy recovery". our political correspondent chris mason reports. the man tasked with steering the country and the government through a crisis without parallel is this morning still here in intensive care at st thomas‘s hospital in central london. the prime minister has been attempting to shield us from the very worst consequences of a virus that has now left him stricken. the main thing that comes across with boris all the time is this irrepressible optimism that we will get through and that‘s what he projects that‘s what he believes, that‘s what he tells himself constantly. and that‘s what he was like about a week ago when he knew he had the virus. he thought he‘d get through it and britain would get through it and we‘d all be fine. this clearly shows just how serious it is. this was the prime minister last thursday, joinin

theresa may had a suggestion.o look at the efforts of the new york police department in the past and i have some already are. the random contactor visiting with homes but there are no perpetrators or where there been reports of domesstic abuse — it must be done carefully to not exacerbate the situation. but it can help those victims. the labour secretary. you are the man with the power here and this is your bill. be the man who listens to what women are saying. don't be the man who knows better than us, listen to what we are saying about this and make the change we are asking for. the bill later passed its initial stage of the vote and will now go on to detailed scrutiny. the northern ireland assembly debated its domestic abuse bill, which makes coercive control an offence as it's been in england and wales. the chair of the justice committee emphasise the importance of the change. the bill provides for a new domestic abuse offence focusing on nonphysical abuse behaviour which is coercive control, northern ireland

name a european woman politician and you'll say theresa may or, you know, margaret thatcher or angelacient — that this event in the brain is sufficient to cause that event in the brain. if causation in the brain is, however, criterial — and there's lots of different ways to meet any given set of criteria, then causation is not a matter of sufficiency — that if this happens, that has to happen — it's a matter of adequacy. why did you say, say, angela merkel first as opposed to margaret thatcher? i would say, well, that comes down to chance. it's not utterly random, right? when i said to you, "think of a woman european politician," you didn't say frog or, you know, truth or democracy. you said, you know, whatever you said. so, it was not utterly random, but it was constrained randomness within those criteria. 0k. now i'll add some randomness with turbulence and we'll see that knocking over the big bang domino could result in either choice a or choice b. there are some criteria, though — the blocks must all be the same size and not ducks. still, it could be argued that that randomness we

dominic raab who was briefly brexit secretary under theresa may gave that short shrift.t the right thing for us to do is double down and get ideal by the end of this year. 0ur desire is to dig ourselves out of the economic challenges that we the european union and the world face. and get a shot in the arm of businesses on both sides of the channel and we are doing it as one united kingdom. the fire at grenfell tower in west london left 72 people dead. the blaze injune 2017 spread quickly up and around the building thanks to dangerous external cladding. in one of the responses to that tragedy, the government has brought forward legislation for england to make it clear who is responsible for the fire safety of external walls in apartment blocks, and of the doors to individual flats. the home office minister, speaking via video link said at the moment, there were inconsistencies and that could put lives at risk. it demonstrates that we are applying lessons from the grenfell tragedy and we will continue to do everything in our power to ensure the safety of people and their h

i'm joined now by the conservative mp damian green, who was the first secretary of state in theresa may'sor talking to us. let's deal with those in the order we just tackle them. i am interested in your view on philip hammond talking about how we need to start discussing the next complex phase in terms of lifting some restrictions to allow economic activity. i think we are already discussing it clearly. i absolutely take the point by ministers that are keen not to read that discussion in public. they have succeeded at one of the successes of the government's response has been the government's response has been the way, and it is a public success as well, that by and large people have obeyed the lockdown and putting that at risk would, if it led to a spike in cases, notjust, obviously, damage people's health, was damage the economy, because it would mean the economy, because it would mean the full lockdown would have to stay on for longer. i have a great deal of sympathy for ministers who are saying we should wait for the right time to talk about this. inevitably it means that some of the

lettersjoin damian green, the conservative mp who was named first secretary of state during theresa may'sus. your initial thoughts on boris johnson for being with us. your initial thoughts on borisjohnson recovering in hospital. well, i would say what we've heard is cautiously encouraging, they have said that he has not got pneumonia which is a serious thing that could have happened and dominic raab said at the five o'clock briefing that he is in good spirits, he doesn't have to have ventilation through tubes, so all of that is mildly encouraging. but, we will have to wait and see what happens on the medical side. but he is in the best hands that he could possibly be in. he couldn't be anywhere better. you are a form of the secretary of state. dominic raab is now deputising for borisjohnson. what exactly is that post? it is effectively the deputy post, it means that if the prime minister is not there for whatever reason, the first secretary stands in and it can be fair if parliament is sitting for public reasons, he might take prime minister's questions but also on a more day—to—day basis

rosalind: he is known for tussling with theresa may over frexit. he is a lawyer by trade.heas a candidate for ,onservative party leadership who fell behind boris johnson and supported him. role coming into this temporarily at a time of real crisis in the u.k. measures taken by the u.k. not to test people. he is coming in and having to chair daily meetings at a time when scientists are saying it could peak still in 7-10 days from now. there are shortages of workers, vital medical kits, and real questions about how the u.k. manages its way through the rest of this. the prime minister's hospitalization coming with the u.k. facing serious questions ppe forcing covid-19, doctors, and obviously the norm is price for lockdown. u.k.'sis mean for the fight against the virus? rosalind: the government said that we would initially be on a three-week lockdown and that would be coming to a close later this week. of course, we have seen some initial warnings that it might be suspended. the economic managers within the government, the health managers within the government, there is at the

i've been speaking to the conservative mp damian green who was the first secretary of state in theresa may'surprising about dominic cummings attending the meetings. you have got to unlock the economy as much as you can, but the same time, not allowing the virus to go back to spreading very fast. that involves a mixture of scientific decision—making and political messaging, which is very difficult. but clearly that is the next big decision the government has to take. ok, let's just turn, before i let you go, to the question of scientific decision—making and the allegations, i suppose, that there is at least the perception if not the reality of political interference or political involvement in those with dominic cummings being present at, either in a member or observer status, at meetings of sage, the scientific advisory group that advises the government. where you stand on this row? i must say, i think this story is complete rubbish. i would be much more worried if senior people from number ten, dominic cummings or anyone else, wasn't actually listening to the scientific discussions. and i t

he was in his time first secretary of state in the government under theresa may and her deputy for anw a lot about how governments prepare for potential emergencies. i want to talk a bit about that and the concerns raised about preparedness ina concerns raised about preparedness in a moment. picking up on what gavin williamson had to say about personal protective equipment, i suppose the government must rather regret having talked up this techie delivery yesterday as coming today when it hasn‘t been delivered? delivery yesterday as coming today when it hasn't been delivered? -- turkey. deliveries around the world are always complex, i understand the raf is waiting for it, the problem is at that end and it will arrive tomorrow. it is delivering the extent of the ppe required is of course complicated and the expansion of the number of places that receive it and need it is huge. the government is used to delivering it to roughly 230 hospitals around the country. there are now 58,000 different ca re country. there are now 58,000 different care settings that need ppe. so does every last pi

backroomn we saw dealing among theresa may's cabinet is that there was some infighting.son's cap that behind him, a colossus within the conservative party, so i don't think there's any risk of him losing that support. but if he were to be incapacitated, there would be an almighty scrum or who takes over. at the moment, we said it is dominic raab, but i don't believe anybody thinks that is a medium-term solution to boris johnson not being able to make decisions and run the country. then there is a broader question of how much work he is able to do from the hospital that -- bed. that leads to questions about transparency and how much the public is being let in on the state of the prime minister's health. michael: the most important questions for britain's about this is how this affects the fight against coronavirus. johnson's government was criticized for a slow reaction, now ramped up. is it operating well now at the moment, do they need him? therese: we are not at the peak epidemic curve, that is expected in seven to 10 days. consecutive days of declining death tolls, bu

so he was one of the leaders of the brexit movement, very strongly so, he resigned from theresa may'snet over that issue. you know, he is certainly a safe pair of hands, he's been around the system for a while. but he's no substitute for that incredible, optimistic energy you get from boris johnson. so i think that dominic raab, as much as anyone else is hoping that boris is back at number at 10 taking the reins as soon as possible. >> bill: the only thing i can compare it to is ariel sharon in the summer of 2006 when isabel was having the war with the north, he went into. this is a world leader on the prominent world stage who's now in intensive care. it's something else. steve, thank you for your input on that, steve hilton with us today. thank you, will speak again, thank you. in a moment here, it is almost time for graduation, millions of american high school seniors will not get that opportunity. it won't be normal, that's for sure. in a moment, meet another great american doing something for his classmates from coast-to-coast that we have not seen before, that is next. >> for th

this is something people work with, and imagine the comments from theresa may, the labour leader, keirhe national leaders in the uk adding thoughts of his speedy recovery. thank you for the moment, helen. we'll be talking to the michael gove at 6:30. he's the cabinet office minister and a long—time friend, and occasional rival, of borisjohnson. a heart surgeon at wales' largest hospital has died from coronavirus. jitendra rathod was an associate specialist in cardio—thoracic surgery at the university hospital of wales. in a tribute posted on its website, cardiff and vale university health board said he was an "incredibly dedicated surgeon who cared deeply for his patients." a39 people died in hospital from the effects of coronavirus on monday. overall there are 51,608 confirmed cases in the uk and the total number of people to die from the virus has reached 5,373. this number does not account for people who have died in the community or in a care home. the japanese government is expected to declare a state of emergency in tokyo, osaka and five other regions in an attempt to stem the sp

and former prime minister theresa may has been speaking?rlier, talking about how government can keep running at times like this and theresa may of course, the predecessor to borisjohnson, has also been speaking. my thoughts and prayers are with boris and his loved ones today, it must be a terribly difficult time for him and those around him. but i wish him well and i want him to have a speedy and good recovery. obviously people are worried about his health but also the functioning of government. is the infrastructure in vital robust enough to deal with something like this? yes, cabinet system of government in this country and in boris's absence, dominic raab is leading that cabinet andl dominic raab is leading that cabinet and i know from everything i have seen and heard, the cabinet which is supported by excellent scientific advice from a first—class civil service, they are absolutely committed to dealing with this crisis. they have been doing the right thing, listening to the scientific advice, putting a good plan in place. and they are e

theresa may.nks to all those who have made this hybrid debate possible today, because this bill is hugely important. domestic abuse damages lives, it can cost lives, and it can scar adults and children for the rest of their lives. and of course, it also costs our society and the economy here, and we all oh a debt of gratitude to those who have had courage to speak out about their experiences and i would also like particularly to commend the honourable members for canterbury and bradford west, their contributions to the debate on the 2nd of october. but this bill is an incredibly important opportunity for us incredibly important opportunity for us to ensure that we improve the legislative environment... domestic abuse, and if we get it right it will not only improve peoples lives but it will save lives. but it is important, as the frontbenchers have said, that we are debating this bill during the covid—19 crisis, because as covid—19 has required people to stay at home, to be locked down in their ho

he's one of the faces of the brettic movement, also the brexit secretary under theresa m may.only lasted about four months, but the real sort of question is, who is in charge. when raab and other members of the cabinet have been pressed on this issue, they say, well, it's a collective decision-making. but the prime minister's job in that situation usually, anderson is one to pick the course of action. it's not really clear at this moment in time who, if anyone, is actually doing that. >> members of johnson's cabinet said they were taken by surprise how quickly his condition has deteriorated. does it seem as though they weren't being kept in the loop? certainly the public statements seemed also somewhat slow in coming. >> reporter: absolutely. i think there's been a lot of confusion and frankly anxiety from people about the way in which news bull tense, information and updates about the prime minister's health have been delivered, in such a way whereby most people thought the picture was pretty rosy, even after he was admitted to the hospital. we were told it was precautionary,

theresa may, alongside david the former leader of the conservative party and donald trump as well. lot of criticism of how the u.k. government handled coronavirus. what are we expecting? ad: at the moment, the u.k. is facing questions as it heads ato what is at the moment common prediction that it is going to go into the peak of the pandemic. the prime in -- minister fights for his life in intensive care with a government that is essentially under huge pressure to get a grip on the outbreak. treatment comes as the country prepares for cases to climb over the next 7-10 days. people have died in the u.k. from the virus. the country remains in lockdown while health services attempt to fill shortages of masks, ventilation equipment. until now the government had been making a point to say that even with the prime minister ill, he was in control. that is not the case any longer. he is out of action. the foreign minister will need to get a grip on the government machine and coordinate the pandemic response. employedegy they have in london for defeating coronavirus has been under serious s

in that cabinet, so you could have imagined ifa in that cabinet, so you could have imagined if a theresa may not a cabinet with what we used to call the big beasts in it, so there isn‘t a natural person there. you know, we have had a bit of a lead on sunday from the queen. she, after all, is the ultimate unifying figure. there is potentially, i suppose, the ultimate unifying figure. there is potentially, isuppose, religious leaders and things like that. we may have to rely on more other national unifying characters. boris johnson, obviously, is a unifying and inspirational figure for a obviously, is a unifying and inspirationalfigure for a lot obviously, is a unifying and inspirational figure for a lot of the country, but he has quite a marmite figure as well, so probably the reverse for a lot of others, so... but not having borisjohnson there leaves a big gap and we are back to work outjust how big a gap that is. yes, indeed. have we ever seen a prime minister incapacitated in this way before? or have we ever beenin in this way before? or have we ever been in this sort of crisis situation a

and these are individuals, because of a home 0ffice policy directing back —— dating back to when theresa may on a family private life grounds which generally means people who have a british child or partner, and to explain a bit of the context, people are given this limited leave to remain for a series of ten years and have to pay extortionate fees every time they reapply. i know the unity project is saying often these are single mothers working on zero—hours contracts, cleaning work and care work, it is difficult for them to make ends meet as it is but if they cannot access benefits, this is what this is all about, cannot access benefits because of their immigration status, especially at this time of coronavirus, they will be left in a really difficult situation? exactly and it's important to say that these families are in difficult situations or were in difficult situations even before this pandemic. most of the families we are seeing are homeless, staying with friends or acquaintances, sharing rooms, often beds, whole families, and are struggling to make ends meet. that is despite working

we can speak now to former cabinet minister, sir david lidington, who served as theresa may's de—factoyou think it is to find a solution to some of those when the leader is not there? clearly it would be much better if borisjohnson were fully back to health, he has got the electoral mandate which comes from the general election last december and there is an ebullient and dynamism about his leadership of the government that is not there at the moment. but i think the system is working pretty effectively. the elected prime minister has delegated power to dominic raab to exercise on his behalf while he, borisjohnson, is in intensive care. that means, because the elected pm has given that decision, the entire civil service machine is going to swing round and give support to dominic and the cabinet as a whole to get things done. secondly, there is an established plan, approved by the pm, to address the coronavirus crisis, and frankly, most of what the government is going to be discussing and talking about over the next two or three weeks at least is going to be implementation of strategy th

that is why conservative mps in the end were drawn to him i think when theresa may resigned. worked in them now and previously, they say that when there is gloom in they say that when there is gloom in the room and things start to go wrong, they find him a very uplifting character to have around because he has an optimistic view and he is able to put that across to people, even in his messaging when he was giving the most difficult of m essa g es over he was giving the most difficult of messages over the last couple of weeks there was an element of optimism that which many feel is pretty unique to him. and without that, of course there will be deep concerns. dominic raab, the foreign secretary, is experienced but not as experienced as a some cabinet ministers and of course for him this isa ministers and of course for him this is a shock to have to move up to this, standing in and making these decisions but it‘s important to say that a cabinet style ago government means decisions will be made collectively for as long as they need to be. thank you so much. the headlines on bbc
